But Balance at the Bank * - No. 5 this is merely self-preservation. It is excellent home missionary work. It also reacts favorably upon Asia, and thus has its foreign missionary bearing. But if this is all. then we can hardly consider ourselves worthy sons of noble sires. They gave up all to come here for Christ- ()ur gifts, though more than theirs in dollars and cents, are infinitely beneath theirs in spiritual value. It is another case of the widow's mite versus Dives' shekels. The Crux of the Situation. The time to show our relation to the work of our fathers then has come. We can demonstrate our fundamental sympathy with them by consecrating a large share of our material wealth to the work to which they gave their lives. We can do it at a time when it will count more than ever before or after. And for the reason that we men and women are of times and seasons. Birthdays, adversaries, centennials bulk large in our lives and ought so to do. If Hawaii comes to the October meeting with a gift, adequate to its missionary history and to its wealth concentrated in missionary families, it will say to the world more emphatically than is possible in any other way, "We of the second generation are true to our past. The great victory still moves en here. The spirit of tile fathers is the spirtf of the sons." creatures What Would They Do? If the first generation of missionary fathers and mothers were alive and in as full vigor as they were fifty years ago, what response would they make to the world-wide work of the American Board, provided they had the money now in the hands of their children and grand-children? This is a good question for us to ponder at this season when the Board reports such world wide opportunities for extension of its work as Christian history has never before shown. Here, for instance, are twenty great institutions of learning in mission lands, each with a remarkable past and facing a still more wonderful future, crowded with eager youths, and compelled by lack of resources to shut the door to many others just as enthusiastic who long to enter and be trained as Christian leaders. Each of these twenty institutions needs $100,000 endowment. The �4 gift of $25,000 would maintain permanently a trained American missionary teacher or several native professors. But this educational appeal is only one of many lines of work equally insistent. Hawaii is now in position to repay something of the effort spent upon it by the churches of America. That repayment is of the Christlike sort, not a paying back but a passing of some of the benefits received to others. But So Much Is Needed Here. Yes, and that was precisely what people said to Hiram Bingham, Asa Thurston, Samuel Whitney. William Richards. Artemas Bishop, (ierrit Judd. Peter Gulick, Dwight Baldwin, Sheldon Dibble, William Alexander, David Lyman, Richard Armstrong, Amos Cooke. Harvey Hitchcock, Samuel Castle, Lowell and James Smith, Titus Coan, Edwin Hall, Elias Bond, Daniel Dole, Samuel Damon, Abner Wilcox, William Rice, the Andrews and all the rest of their noble comrades before they left America. If they had heeded that word, Hawaii would have been doomed to beechcombers and the kind of civilization they foster. A loyal disciple of Jesus can never dodge such a contrast as is presented, for instance, by the following comparison. Honolulu with forty or fifty thousand people has five finely appointed hospitals, a number of dispensaries, hosts of well trained doctors, and nurses proone Chinese galore, while vince, Shansi, in which the American Board is at work, has twelve million people with not one modemly equipped hospital and only five white physicians—what the native doctors in China are, we all know. Much is needed in Honolulu, much is required in every Christian country, but that much is nothing compared with the needs of lands unreached by the Gospel. Fortunately there is adequate means both to meet the local need and to spare a very goodly sum for the American Missionary Centennial and so express Hawaii's sense of gratitude to Cod for all that the Gospel has meant to her. The Claim of Gratitude. It certainly is a golden occasion for Hawaiians as well as whites to join in a great memorial gift to the American Board. Not a few families with Hawaii an blood in their veins have large wealth. Why should not they speak just now. telling the world how much they apprc ciate the blessings of Christian civilization by transmuting their gratitude into large contributions towards sending the Gospel to those who have it not? It is to be hoped that all of our Hawaiian THE FRIEND, churches will join in a special centennial thankoffering to the American Board which shall show in tangible form their loyalty to their Savior in response to his If from Hawaiian great command. sources a gift of unusual proportions should go to Boston it would stir the heart of Christendom. But gratitude speaks as well to the rest of us who could scarcely have hoped for equal opportunity to acquire large wealth if our fathers had stayed in America. Doubtless we might have been well to do, but no such golden rewards would have been ours. And if we had not received the unique training in a missionary home our quality of manhood might have been distinctly inferior. We owe all to the schooling we had in the noble, unselfish missionary environment of the Hawaii of our childhood and youth. What have we done with our wealth for foreign missions to express our sense of indebtedness for this early training? Can we ever hope for a better time or opportunity titan the present centennial year of American missions? Certainly no occasion will enable our gifts to do more in stirring the world's missionary interest than an honestly selfdenying gift to the old Board —a gift which will not merely show on our ledgers but which we shall actually feel. Fortunately this movement has already begun. One of our missionary families has made a gift of $25,000 to the permanent funds of the American Board for the extension of its work. Outside of this noble gift Central L'nion Church also reports by several times the largest missionary offering in its history. We believe this to be only the commencement of the good things to come. The Special Election. At last the American nation in the possible, by special resolution of Congress signed by the President, has called upon Hawaii to express its conviction upon the most important social question that mankind today faces- It is the first occasion of the kind in human history and it is to the lasting credit of Hawaii that it is the recipient of this great honor. For it is an honor thus to be singled out of all the territories since our nation began its existence. The very gravity of the question submitted to our votes adds to the impressiveness of the responsibility. The eyes of the entire world are upon us. Our action will affect for weal or woe numberless other people. We can deal tlu most signal blow at the dreaded and hated liquor traffic that it has ever yet received, because what we do will influence Asia as well as America. It is well, then, that we enter upon the campaign as upon a solemn, sacred crusade. Let most solemn way May, 1910 it be raised to the very highest plane oi civic and religious duty. We fight for larger ends than we now can guess. The voice of July 26 will in reality be the cry of a sacrificed race. In pathos this election will rival any plebiscite ever taken on earth. If the pent-up feelings of all the Hawaiians who since the great Kainchaineha's day have suffered at tin hands of the liquor curse could only fine' vent on the day of election the result would astonish the world. Of coursi the liquor forces are already beginning to befog the issue by personal inuendc and by appeals to the passions of the Hawaiians. Bttt we believe this will not prove successful. The Hawaiian is remarkably susceptible to nobler considerations, and his intuitions are naturally trustworthy. Unworthy men may at times stampede him as well as the rest of mankind by some sudden specious movement. But give him time to think and he responds nobly both to reason and conscience. Hence the result of July 26 is not unpromising. Nevertheless, the fight is ever to the resourceful and untiring- The battle must be carried in*' every possible sphere. In it every available person must be enlisted. Not only the men, but women and children should be enrolled. The question affects vitally the family and every resource the family presents must be utilized. The Church is also deeply concerned, and here we have a forum unequalled in a great civic battle. Fortunately politics is entirely divorced from the issue. The parties have voted to stand aside and suffer the fight to be waged on the neutral ground of a preeminent moral question. We thank them for this wisdom and this exposition of high civic spirit. Fortunately the liquor interests themselves are divided. Two of the better firms have served notice on the Liquor Dealers' Association that they are not in the fight. That is good. It is to be hoped that more will follow this patriotic action. It is the twentieth century, and therefore it behooves business houses to honor ethical considerations. I'rotherhood ought to lead every liquor house in the Islands to desert the cause of alcohol and rally tc the side of humanity in this fight. Perhaps more of them will do so ere the battle is over. Meantime let the campaign be conducted on the most aggressive and comprehensive lines possible. The Quiet Work Already Done. While the rest of us have been waiting for Congress to act, the Hawaiians with fine faith in the moral sense of nation, the have been quietly organizing- They seem to have scented the blood of their race in this contest am' to have realized that with them the piebiscite is a life and death matter.

The doctor and Mrs. Burdette were visiting Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Penhallow. He spoke to a packetl house at Union Church. A number came in machines from Spreckelsvillc, Paia and Kahului to hear this famous man. In the morning he attended Waihee convention, antl said he would not have missed it for a great deal. He and Mrs. Burdette were delighted with all the work of the day. It has given us the greatest joy tc take in seven new members into Union Church. This brings our roll up to a goodly number- There is prospect that several more will join soon. Our frequent additions more and more prove the need of a union church in Wailuku.

Jl Peace Day Ammunition. The New York Peace Society has issued an illustrated folder that gives us some conception of the loss sustained by our country in spending 70 per cent of its national income for war purposes. We cull a few of the statements. $1,072,000,000 represents the increase of expeneliture in the last eight years, over and above the average which was spent in the previous eight years. This eight year increase exceeds the national debt by $158,000,000. obsolete. I visited recently the vast armada that assembled in the Thames for public inspection. More than one hundred and fifty modern engines of war of every description they numbered, and they cost the British nation more than three hundred million dollars; and yet within two or three years practically three-fourth of this fleet will be obsolete. This, too, despite the fact that the oldest battleship in the great double line five miles in length was launched only eleven years ago. This ship, the Albion, would be completely at the mercy of the Superb, the youngest of the fleet. The newer vessel could choose her range, and her crushing armament of ten twelve-inci guns is deadly at a distance of four miles. The Albion's shells would not pierce the Superb's armor, while the latter's missiles would all go through the older ship's plating. Practice records show that with a target the size of Albion at four miles range the unhappy ship would almost certainly be riddled and sunk by the newest battleship within ten minutes.'

The Scribe's Corner The Oahu At the meeting of the Oahu Association at Kaumakapili church April 6-9, the new policy was inaugurated of having sectional meetings for the different nationalities during two hours of the first day's session. With the concerted working out of this plan, valuable results arcto be expected. All our Associations have approved of this policy, and have also adopted the recommendation of the Hawaiian Board that the gist of all important business be translated into Hawaiian. At this Association it was announcetl that a bulletin card would soon be issued to be hung in a prominent place in each of our churches stating the three principal objects of benevolence and their dates of collection. The matter of increasing the salaries of Hawaiian minisisters was thoroughly discussetl, and Rev. J. P. Erdman presented a scheme whereby it was shown that it was possible for the churches to increase the salaries of ministers materially by systematic giving. This scheme aroused great interest, and should bear fruit. May, THE FRIEND, A Beautiful Tribute. To one who is in doubt as to the value of missions, the reception given to Mother Rice by the members of the Association at Lihue would have been a surprising spectacle. For it was spontaneous and genuine, with real depth of feeling and of affectionate regartl. It was a brief and simple scene. Mother Rice came with her grand-daughter and her nurse in an automobile to the native church, where the Association was in session. The Association immediately adjourned and gathered in a body near Mother Rice, where they greeted her personally and sang two of her favorite hymns, viz., "Rock of Ages," and "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." Even the women at work preparing the noon repast drew near, and sang, "Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us." It was a touching tribute to one whose service and gifts have meant so much to missionary effort among Hawaiians: and it was most appropriatethat it should mark one of the memorable m occasions of what we hope will be a meThe Kauai Meeting. morable year.

The total, as finally tabulated, was $30,571.25. The gift of $25,000 for permanent investment, the income to be used in exteneling the Board's work, was made through one of our families by one of its members. The causes to be aieled the present year will be indicated on our calendar so that we all may follow the contribution with our prayers.

If the Bishop returns to Honolulu next year we sincerely hope he maybe heard again in Central Union. Not for many a year has Central Union had such excellent Easter music. The chorus choir under the able leadership of Mr. Stanley Livingston, has been steadily improving for the past two years and the anthems which they rendered Easter morning and evening were among the best they have yet sung. The quartet, which has at last been made a possibility by the acquisition of Mr. Philip Hall's beautiful tenor voice, sang at both services to the delight of all. What would Easter be without music? Another Branch Church. The calendar for Easter Day contained the glael Easter announcement that the trustees had purchased a beautifully located lot of one and a half acres in the center of the College Hills tract for our future Manoa Valley branch. One half of the purchase price was provided for by three gifts of $400 each, and the other half is to be paid in one and two years. This inaugurates an important movement.

Mention was made in the last issue of The Friend of the splendid gifts made for Foreign Missions on Easter Day. The Bible School was given a real treat in the special Easter program which the superintendent had arranged for the morning. Mrs. L L. McCandless gave several appropriate readings, Mr. Hall sang a solo, Mr. Love rendered one of his exquisite violin solos, and Rev. Henry P. Judd, who happened to spend Easter day at home, addressed the school on the meaning of Easter Day- It was a very pleasant change from the conventional Easter Day exercises usually held participated in by the various Sunday schools of the church. In the evening the Methoelists joined with us in a union service under the auspices of the Men's League. Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, D.

At the last meeting of the Women's Society the question of removal of hats at the Sunday services was taken up, and after some discussion three-fourths of those present expressed their determination to practice this reform. There has been an encouraging response both Sundays since the announcement was made. It may take a l'tile while- to get a general observance among the ladies, but it will certainly adtl very much to the comfort of those who attend church, so nianv of whom must each Sunday, at present be hidden from speaker and singers behind the view-obstructing hats in front of them. Hawaii Cousins The annual meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, held on April 16th, at the Old Mission Home, was one of unusual interest. The business part of it, referring chiefly to the gift of the Chamberlain property and the Forbes house adjoining, with plans for fitting them up for future use, was found so interesting that the larger part of the literary program was left for the adjourned meeting, to be held at Arcadia, the beautiful home- of Governor and MrsFrear. There was read, however, a long, in- teresting, and valuable paper concerning the old Chamberlain House, written by Mr. Warren Chamberlain, himself an octogenarian. It was full of history and incidents connected with the olden time, and will be published in the H. M. C. annual report. A quartette of singers from Kaiulani Home kindly furnished the music, "The Beautiful Land of Somewhere," "and "A Wonderful Message They Bring," which were sung sweetly and in excellent harmony. The decorations, also, were in harmony with everything. That star-like flower, called by the- Hawaiians, "The Star of Bethlehem." was used, and was made, by Mrs. Weaver's exquisite taste and deft fingers, to droop over pictures and doors and trail into odd corners, just as the wonderful message of the real Star of Bethlehem brings out the beauty of every soul, and decorates and brightens the corners of the earth. The meeting was very informal—a sort of home-coming, one musician remarking that here was where she took her first music lesson, pointing out the spot where the piano stood, and recalling the thoughts and emotions of the time, and her teacher's words; and after singing "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," one lady said "That was the last hymn I heard my father sing." And she recalled his appearance, standing on a bale of cotton in the boat, singing "Waft, waft, ye winds his story." �THE 10 FRIEND what I would gladly pay it for allowing This statement is probably true of every great professor at our Professor George Herbert Palmer, of universities.

May, 191C The teacher must have an orderly mind so as to give out the work of his classes in a natural order. Many let their work tumble out of them. Every teacher should lay out his work carefully. All of his work must be looked at from the student jxiint of view. A good motto for a teacher is: "Ixiok not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." A true teacher is always meditating his work, disciplining himself for his professiem, probing the problems of his glorious art, and seeing illustrations of it everywhere. In only one place is the teacher freeel from such criticism, and that place is in his own class-room. Here he must let himself go, unhampered by theory. He must forget himself and make his class forget themselves. The writer can testify that Professor Palmer always succeeded in making classes forget where they were. On leaving his classrooms our minds continued to dwell on the avenues of thought he suggested. After eighteen years I still think over the subjects he made us consider. 2. Accumulated wealth. Every teacher must have wealth in himself if he will succeeel—in resourcefulness, in richness of thought, in sympathetic relation to his work. Our pupils draw their nourishment from us. If we are poor, they will be poor. We are their source of supply. If we cut ourselves off from nutrition we enfeeble them. How often teachers do this, deelicating themselves to the immediate needs of those about them, they go on speneling themselves and grow thinner each year. The "teacher's face" is a common term, and who is not familiar with the reality, a face meager, anxious, worn, sacrificial, powerless! The teacher shoultl be the big, bounteous being of the community. Supplying a multitude he needs wealth sufficient for a multitude. He must clutch at knowledge everywhere. In preparing his lecture, or his presentation of his subject before the class, the hardest work is to settle on the things that are not to be said. The too obvious should be omitted. For these things are not enough. There must be the broad background. 1 cannot teach up to the edge of my knowledge without a fear of falling off. To teach a small thing well, we must be large. A true teacher will accumulate wealth, not only for his pupil's sake, but also for his own. To be a great, teacher, one must be a great personality. Without ardent and individual tastes the roots of our being are not fed. Each teacher should have some interest unconnected with his official work. This interest may take any form, but it should be a real one. Be not satisfied with the attaining of a little. We must have accumulated wealth. The great �THE FRIEND.

Cigarettes in Peking. The visitor to Peking, as he travels along the great street from the East gate to the West of the Chinese city, will notice high up over the houses a great sign board. It is American advertising! On this board he will -see a large picture from 8 to 10 feet high, of a fierce looking foreigner, who stands by a canon and holds a drawn sword in his hand. Over his head is the wortl "Pirate." By the side e)f the picture in clear Chinese characters are the words "Ying" "Mci" "English" "American." It is in the sign of the great Tobacco Trust which hopes soon to be the largest business in China, and seeks to sell cigarettes to the milllions all over the Empire. Are the people of Christian England and America glad to appear before the Chinese as the "Pirates" of their money and their health ? By the siele of this Foreign Pirate is another equally large picture of a Rooster crowing over cigarettes, as if to say; "The American and English " Pirates " have been successful! With sword and canon they have come to your land, they are taking millions of money, and leave you the opium and cigarette to ruin your homes and destroy the health of your children. You are bounel by a habit most difficult to break and must continue to pay us your hartl earned dollars. The "Pirate" is victorious! Ha! Ha! Ha! Is not this the meaning of the pictures ? And not only on this street but all over the city and the empire are these and other pictures telling of the great exploitation of China by the sale of cigarettes. A great picture of the English-American "Pirate," 10ft. high also greets one on the city wall as the train comes to a stop at the railroad station in Peking. The same picture is seen by thousands all over the land on city gates, on temples and schools and even on the walls of the Imperial city. All Learning to Smoke. I am told by a man in this business that over two million dollars are spent annually in China for advertising and placing the cigarettes on the market. It is said tnat the two great centres of Shanghai and Hankow turn out some twenty milion cigarettes per day.

I had the pleasure of being in Shanghai when the great and beautiful building there for Chinamen was dedicated. Indeed, I took part in the ceremony, and sat on the dais with a number of prominent Chinese officials, who were not Christians, but who were there to testify of the wemderful work that the Association had done. I don't know where all the money comes from that erects these great, handsome buildings for the Young Men's Christian Association. Every town that I visit, it seems to me, is inspired by an ambition to put up a building for the Young Men's Christian Associatiem that is just a little more elaborate, just a littlemore accompanying, just a little moreextensive, and testifies to just a littlemore interest in the Association than the building in the town in the next county. That shows a most healthful spirit of competition. It shows the vigor of the Association. I do not know of any place where money can be invested with greater certainty of its expenditure for that for which money ought to be given than in the Young Men's Christian Association. It is because you do your work on business principles, -and because you have men in charge of your work who are trained to it and who understand what the eibject of the Association is and the best method of reaching it.

He is working quietly he is not making a fuss he is not soliciting subscriptions for a building on the ship—but he is doing business ; he is commending himself to all the officers and to all the men, and certainly the result of the experiment will be a most interesting one to see how the Association can work with the rest of our 40,000 or 50,000 sailors.

The rejx)rts of the secretaries at the annual meeting Thursday night, April 28 were listened to by the largest number of members attending an annual meeting in many years; and these members heard reports that showed growth away aheael of any previous year. In OOC year the membership has grown from 485 to 700, the enrollment in the night school from 114 students to 229 students, and religious meetings for men are held at six different places outside the association building. The attendance at socials, —rountl-ups as they are called —grew from an average of 87 to 158. Thirty-two positions were found for men and boys during the year. Many men have been helped live better lives, elrawn away from religious indifference, and seven have joined the church as a direct result of association work.

Under this title Paul Kennaday, writing in the "Survey," calls attention to a fallacy which has proved most fatal and destructive to many a movement for social improvement It is in connection with Senator ( hvcn's bill to apply some of our conservation enthusiasm to the immediate and crying opportunity, namely the safeguarding of public health, that Mr. Kennaday speaks. The measure in question proposes the creation of a department of health, its head to sit as a member of the President's cabinet. And while conservatism advises that we are ready for no such step of prevention, Death realizes that the time is ripe for execution, and applies his mission. Let him who hesitates remember that the time is always ripe for doing the thing that can be done. If a reform cannot be consummated, perhaps a movement may be begun.

The circle is concentrically divided to form an interior avenue four yards broad, to permit of communication with the center of the circle. Each avenue leads to external sidewalks, and to longitudinal and transverse streets. In the center of the circle is a plot of 40 yards in diameter, where the children may be left to themselves without their parent's care, in charge of a specially designated person- In this garden a playroom, a school, a hospital, a fire station, and an administration room are to be found.

J> In a public discussion on the temperance question a few months ago at Chicago, between the mayor of Milwaukee defending the- liquor business, and Mr Dickey, his Opponent, the mayor asked: "What will the poor farmers of the West do if they cannot sell their grain to the brewers?" Mr. Dickey replied "In that case they will raise- more horses and hogs and less hell. : nis exact words, but the substance of his remark was that nearly all the churches' of the mainland were rejecting creeds as "unchristian shibboleths." This is indeed true, and the tendency to such an onward and progressive growth Is so strong and persistent that where the denomination to which a particular church belongs attempts to restrict this advance, the particular church separates itself from the denomination. If the church remains unprogressive, unwillng to prove all things for the sake of the truth, the individual either Joins a more liberal church or he maintains an attitude of silent protest which Is not at all conducive to his helpfulness as a worker. How much better for the whole denomination to accept the Inevitable, especially as that Is a Btate of more simple and Christlike belief, for the church to come up to the advnnce thought of the best and most reasonable and conscientious scholars. For instance, a Unitarian church in Massachusetts has lately been received Into the general Congregational body as a Unitarian church, to give up not one of Its distinctive principles. This was done because it Beemed best for purposes of helpfulness and work, both being engaged in Christian endeavor. So, too, because the Baptist denomination was not as far-sighted and earnest about the real work of Christianity—Christ's mission on carth —Dr. I'inkham of Denver, with his large and Influential church of that city, has Just been received into the Unitarian denomination. The Kplscopal church has always allowed a wide margin for differences of belief In Its adherents, and we find In it many liberals like Andrew 1). White and others who no more accept the creeds of that church than Dr. Hale did. They love the Bervice and the associations and are called Kpiscopalians. Dr. Hrundage left the same church because he was more sensitive. "I must find a church that would receive me upon my own termß, that would require of me no creed subscription whatsoever, that would leave me perfectly free to preach what I believed to be the truth."

He used to say that his legs were .. .. not adapted to apostolic hosiery. Before quoting the "Evangelist's" answer to his solicitous correspondent I want to quote a very few things from one or two of Phillips Brooks' sermons. He was one of the greatest men the Episcopal church has had In modern times the very greatest In America. He stood In the breach, as It were, preaching the great love of the Father for all his children, avoiding controversy when he could, patching up denominational differences, applying truth. His attitude towards those of different belief was that of a seeker after truth, not that "Let us reverence our of a dogmatist. neighbors' way of finding truth," he said, and to his genial sympathy came young ministers of all denominations, Including Unitarians, to bask and derive spiritual warmth.

In man, that lifts up the man and sayß, 'For Unitarians and Trinitarians is a metaphyme to be brutal is unmanly, to be divine is sical one, rather than religious. The orthodox theology says that Jesus was divine, to be my true self.'" Here was the basis for the unity of churches, as defined by Bishop Brooks, quite different from the following, which I find in "The Church Chronicle" of June, 1909: "No Christian unity can be even discussed on any other basis than the facts as contained in the Catholic creeds. Fancy going to the heathen about us with Christ as only one among many teachers. If we can no longer go to them with Christ as the Savior of the world, we had better cease to work." In other words, the Important thing the church has to do is not to infuse the spirit of Christ in the hearts of men, but to get them to say "Lord, Lord," to acknowledge that there Is only one way of looking at a much disputed historical account, and that this way is fully defined in a particular credo. Speaking of orthodoxy, Phillips Brooks said: "We find that the lower orders of the church's workers, the mere runners of her machinery, have always been strictly and scrupulously orthodox, while all the church's noblest servants, they who have opened to her new heavens of vision and new domains of work—Paul, Orlgen, Tertullian, Abelard, Luther, Milton, Coleridge, Maurice, Swedenborg, Martineau—have been persecuted for being what they truly were, unorthodox." "Orthodoxy In the church," continues Dr. Brooks "Is very much what prejudice is in the single mind. It is the premature conceit of certainty! It is the treatment of the imperfect as If it were perfect. We cannot but believe that In the future the whole conception of orthodoxy is destined to grow less and less prominent. Less and less will men ask of any opinion, 'Is It orthodox?' More and more will they ask, 'Is it true?' Is not the sum of the whole matter this, that orthodoxy as a principle of action or a standard of belief, is obsolete and dead? It is not that the substance of orthodoxy has been altered but that the very principle of orthodoxy has been essentially disowned. It is not conceivable that any council, however ecumenically constituted, should so pronounce on truth that Its decrees should have any weight with thinking men save what might seem legitimately to belong to the character and wisdom of the persons who composed the council. Personal Judgment is on the throne, and will remain there,—personal Judgment, enlightened by all the wisdom, past and present, which it can summon to Its aid, but forming finally its own conclusions, and standing by them in the sight of God, whether it stands in a great company or stands alone." Now we come to the editor's answer to his troubled correspondent: "I would not, of course, presume to answer the question, for no one knows of what avail the prayer of any one Is except God. Personally, I imagine he would hear anyone's prayer, be he Moslem, Buddhist, Unitarian or Trinitarian, Protestant or Roman Catholic. I Imagine, from what Jesus tells us of his character, that he Is glad even when sinners pray to him. But In connection with this question, I would think that we all of us ought to be very careful how we Judge people who differ from us in theological and metaphysical realms, but are one with us in character and devotion to Christ. And it was on the latter point that Jesus always laid the emphasis. Not him who ex- — and that no other man is divine or can possess the same kind of divinity. The Unitarian says that Jesus is divine, but that God reveals himself in other men also, and that humanity has the potential divinity of Jesus in it. The orthodox theology Is that the oneness of Jesus with the Father is a metaphysical oneness: i.e., a oneness of person. The Unitarian theology emphasizes Jesus' oneness with God Just as much, but says it is a moral oneness, a oneness of purpose, spirit and character. The orthodox theology has generally made his divinity consist in his having unique power to work miracles or do wonders. The Unitarian theology has said that his divinity is in his love and character and sacrificial life. Both theologies are one in emphasizing the great fact that God was in Jesus Christ revealing his love to the world and reconciling the world to himself and the people in it to each other. Perhaps my correspondent might And some help to answering this question by asking herself whether, when she sings in the following hymns, she is praying acceptably to God: 'Nearer, My God, To Thee,' 'In the Cross of God I Glory,' 'It Came Upon the Midnight Clear That Glorious Song of Old,' 'Immortal Love, Forever Full, Forever Flowing Free.' These were all written by Unitarians." Now all this evidence that Dr. Scudder was exactly correct in what he said about creeds, comes from unquestioned orthodox sources the strongest statements, indeed, being by adherents of the Episcopal Church. Some years ago I attended Trinity Church, Boston because the preaching there and a large mass of the membership were as liberal as I wished to find anywhere. Here is a short quotation from a sermon by Dean Stanley issued as a Unitarian tract and entitled "Our Common Christianity": "Christianity is what it is by the fact that there once lived upon earth a sacred and divine life—sacred and divine because it was supremely good; because it was above the limitations of time, country and party; because it revealed to mankind the fullest insight ever given Into the heart of the Eternal and Supreme; and Christianity shall be what it may yet become, in proportion as that life or anything like it, is lived over again in personal example and influence." Andrew D. White, one of the most distinguished Episcopalians living, has this to say about the creeds of his church: "I attended St. Paul's Episcopal Church. I Joined occasionally in reciting part of the creeds though more and more this last exercise became peculiarly distasteful to me. (The objections made by intelligent young candidates for the ministry.) Time has but confirmed the opinion which I then began to bold, that, of all mistaken usages In a church service, the most unfortunate is this demand which confronts a man who would gladly unite with Christians in Christian work, and in a spirit of loyaly to the Blessed Founder of Christianity—the demand that such a man stand and deliver a creed, made no one knows where or by whom, and of which no human being can adjust the meanings to modern knowledge, or indeed to human comprehension. Various things combined to increase my distrust in I became conthe prevailing orthodoxy. vinced that what the world needed was more religion rather than less, more devotion to humanity and less preaching of dogmas.." . In his "Organization of the Early Christian Churches" and "Influence of Greek Ideas and Usages," Rev. Dr. Edwin Hatch, the well known Episcopalian scholar, Rhows conclusively that many of the dogmas found in the creeds were not even suggested by the teachings of Jesus that "the essential elements of Christianity" are found in the affirmations of Just such a simple covenant as the Kahului church on Maui adopted a few months ago. Such covenants were adopted by the Plymouth Church in 1602, and by the Salem church in 1609. The Old South Church (Congregational) has given up its creed, while Andover, and nearly all the other best schools of the same order of faith, have dropped their creedal requirements. When I attended Rev. R. Heber Newton's church in New York, with many of my physician friends of the Post Graduate School and Hospital, we knew that we should hear liberal doctrine. There the creeds are practically abandoned. The Unitarians are not spoken of in a patronizing way, or liberalism as if it were all error. This is what Heber Newton says of Unitarianism: "The true work of Unitarianism is not to be studied in its year book, or gauged by its statistical results. Its mission is to be sought in the insistent push of the thought it has quickened, and the principles it has sown through the larger bodies of orthodox Christianity. It has sought to educe from the traditional formulas fresh and living conceptions, new and higher forms of the substance of all beliefs. Truly it is a noble claim for any church that its mission is to call the various sects on to that which they all concede to be the substance of their varying forms, and to reunite them in a religion of the spirit." And this "religion of the spirit" is that to which we are nearing in the rejection of the metaphysical creeds. E. S. GOODHUE, M. D. Holualoa, Hawaii. . Jt O heart of mine, we shouldn't Worry so!

JUDD The Oahu Association. The Oahu Sunday School Association held its semi-annual meeting in the Kauinakapili Church, Honolulu, from April ()th-Bth. The attendance was larger than than usual and the interest in all the proceedings was sustained throughout the meetings. No raelical changes were made in the system of working and the usual routine of reports and business occupied most of the time. The Home Department committee, consisting of Revs. Erdman, Nakuina and Judd, presented their report, in which it was recommended that Mr. Erdman take up the matter of starting this new form of work in the Sunday schools of Oahu. The advantages of the Home Department work were brought out in the report, which was accepted by the Association. The list of visiting superintendents nominated for the ensuing year is practically the same as the past year, there being but one one change, while the other officers were re-elected. The World's Convention. The attention of all friends of Sunday school work is called to the coming great convention to be held in Washington, D. C, from May 19-24. It is the World's Sixth Sunday School Convention and promises to be the largest as well as the finest convention ever held in the interests of the Sunday schools of the world. It would be a splendid thing if several delegates could be present from these islands to receive inspiration from the mighty gathering. At the present time the superintendent has not heard of anyone who intends to be present from Hawaii- He would be glad to communicate with anyone desiring to learn more about this great gathering. J» World's Sunday School Day. The chairman of the eexcutive committee of the Worlds' Sunday School Association, Mr. Geo. W. Bailey, has requested me to spread abroad the notice that Sunday, May 22nd, is World's Sunday School Day. It is requested that all pastors in these islands on that daypreach a sermon emphasizing the claims of the Sunday school as a factor in the development of Christian character, urging upon parents and guardians the importance of training children and youth in the knowledge of the Scriptures and including in his prayers a petition for the blessing of Almighty Gixl upon the work of the Sunday school in all lands, and especially upon the World's Sunday School convention which at that time will be in session in Washington, D. C. Let us not forget to make fitting recognition of the day. The Home Department. In view of the fact that the Oahu Association has taken steps to introduce th« Home Department into the schools of Oahu, it is worth while for us to notice some of the features of the work. The department is a department of the Sunelay school in which those are enrolled who feel themselves unable to attend the sessions regularly, and yet are willing to study the lessons and belong to the school. The members are expected to study the Sunday school lesson each week for at least half an hour, to visit the school sessions when convenient, to make an offering to the school if it is possible, to keep a weekly record of lessons, visits to Sunday school and offering. The visitor pays a visit to the home of each member at least once a quarter, receiving his tpiarterly report of lesson study, and his contribution and leaving with him the lesson help and envelope for the next (juarter. a Good Teacher. The majority of Sunday school teachers are "just folks," good, wholesome genuine Christians. They are neither college graduates nor ignoramuses. For the most part they are busy people, working every day. Many are young people, and are not yet matured in the business of life, nor the philosophy of Christianity. They have had an experience- They are willing to be witnesses. The very sincerity of their service often leads them to depreciate their own capacity and to relinquish the task they have begun. I believe more people are reached through their hearts than through their heads. Heart answers to heart in teaching. Yet there is doubtless a later period, in which our youth should get a constructive viewpoint. I am sure the best-trained teacher is none too good for this important business. 1 want to see both Peter and Paul in the teaching force. One is a fisherman, I know, impulsive and faulty, but he makes good, and I want a Paul there. I lis logic on fire, a scholar and a soldier, a hero and a thinker. How to Become 17 The Sunday school teacher must know what he is to teach, yet he must in addition i>ossess another more essential qualification—consecration to Christ. Turn to the New Testament and there learn how to teach from the Master Teacher. Jesus was a model teacher. The educational world has submitted his method to the severest test. The Bible should be the teacher's textbook, and the whole Bible should be diligently studied. The teacher who never studies more than the lesson portion can never teach well. The Bible must be studied in a larger way; the meaning and relation of its books must be known. There is no easy road to Bible knowledge. Continual, prayerful, searching of the Word is the only method that will bring results- No teacher can teach what he does not know : no teacher can urge truth which he himself will not accept; no teacher can know the Word who will not obey it. The pupil must be studied in all his relations to work and play, church and home and school, alone and in company with other pupils. We must study sympathetically, not simply with curiosity; win your way into the inner life of your pupil by means of love, patience, tact and prayer. BOOK REVIEWS The Suitable Child. Norman Duncan knows how to go to the heart of things in his stories, and this quality The Suitable Child illustrates most beautifully. The book is primarily for the holiday season of the year, but it is good reading any time. It will help to lay Old Musty Self on the shelf and lead one to take The Other Men into his life. To tell the outlines of the story would be to spoil it. We advise everyone who loves heartfelt emotion and is glad to get down into the Best Room of his Soul to buy and read this little bookletThe Suitable Child. By Norman Duncan. New York, Fleming H. Revell Co. 0 The Children's Hour. When you have tucked the little ones in bed and have seen them close their eyes does your heart never smite you that you have been impatient with them during the day? Happy is the family where children, in that last hour day, in sweet forgetfulness of the day's irritations, can all smile and laugh together over a good "Sleepy Time Story." But what can I find that is suitable to read night after night to the children? parents and jf the �18 THE FRIEND.

A young man in Peking said "I can always tell the difference between a 'doctored cigarette' and one without the drug." How many contain opium it is hard to find out, but all know that the habit becomes soon very firmly fixed and hard to break off.
