It was an honor to be chosen for the point of contact. The boldest and brawniest usually got the job. and bore the brunt and most of the bruises too. When the Liquor interests and the prohibitionist clashed in the plebiscite rush, we had our best and brainiest at the apex all right, hut it verily looked as though the enemy did most of the planning of our formation with a view to mangling our front. The Bulletin, the "paid agitator" of the liquor people, may have been said to have done a good stroke of strategy for its client when it kept ringing the changes on "Wooleyism" as the mainspring of the movement against the saloons. To make the people believe that the fight against liquor was purely the result of a "butt in" on the part of an outsider, seemed to be a puerile and ini|X)ssiblc task. We are not sure altogether whether a paper of the low morale of the Bulletin really succeeded in accomplishing this or whether it but voiced the sentiiiKiit of many who wanted to believe it. It was clear enough that many whose financial interests suggested that they find a "scapegoat" gladly hailed a chance to put the odium on the back of the malahini for the violation of what they were pleated to call their "consciences." So John (i. Woolley, after thirty years of big battle over large areas with at least plenty of fresh air, appeared to be presenting the spectacle of standing at hay in the nation's backyard ("cow-pen" the Advertiser would call it) both ears and nostrils affronted by the little local emanations. To be sure, it will not hurt him, but we are sorry that it had to be. Hail to the chief. T. R. most spectacular as No. 9 There are two classes of persons who arc not permitted to read this article.

Second, no one may read this who has not been away from New York for at least seven years, for lit will only say, "I knew all that before." No! this is written only for those who can claim some remote relationship to Rip Van Winkle, and can appreciate the experience of waking up in a familiar place and finding its familiarity gone.

R. which he has only read and heard. �4 the city had the appearance of having been rent in twain by an earthquake, and the rift deserted in despair, rather than of being near the realization of a grand subway system. Now we ride through that same fissure over miles of elegantly appointed road, with stations embellished with vari-colored marble glazed tile and mosaics, through which there is a constant procession of express and local trains. Yet with all the new facilities for travel, the traffic already outstrips the capacity of the road. A Firmament Above and Below the Waters. Three new spider-web wonders have appeared in the sky during these seven years—the new bridges across the Fast river, while under the rivers east and west, we speed through the tunnels of which we heard plenty but saw nothing when last I was in New York, and under the feet of the people on the firmament above, and over the heads of those in the firmament below, the ocean tides ebb and How, carrying their large freight of human lives and the commerce of the nations. Surely man has not heard in vain the command. "He fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth and subdue it!" But the marvel of it all to me is that the most of these wonders I have mentioned have been brought forth in the six creative days that I have been out of the country, and on this the seventh day I can open my eyes and see them completed, and hear the universal verdict, "Behold it is very good." What untold skill and energy and millions of money have been expended upon these works, and yet seven years ago they were not. now they arc. and so far as we are concerned, last night when we closed our eyes on N. Y. scenes, these things were not; this morning they are. They have sprung up in a night: yesterday we stumbled along this earthquake riven street; today we spin through its white tiled underground palaces. We duck our heads down in New York City and bob them up serenely in Jersey City or Brooklyn. I really think this out-Alices Alice in Won derland; a little round copper or nickel is the key to the trap-doors that open into these new sub. subter. super, inter, extra, circum worlds. And are there no new worlds for New York to open up? Oh yes, unnumbered dreams of them. She has a new proposition to match every remaining preposition in the Latin dictionary.

THE September. 1910 FRIEND The Heavens Above. If. following the genius of Oriental languages. I were to coin a descriptive title for New York. I think I might call it "The Heaven-Aspiring City." How many stories high are the sky-scrapers ? I cannot tell you. The steps heavenward are too many. We count the stories bytens now. not by units. You get into an express elevator for the twentieth, thirtieth or fortieth story and change cars to a local if you must figure by units. It reminds one of the story of the man who after going indefinitely up, knocked at the door and said, "Is God in?" Or of the story of a little four-year-old who, seeing one of these sky-scrapers, mid, "Father, isn't there a story in the Bible about people who built a house up to Heaven, and God didn't like it?" "Yes," "Well, there's one pretty near up. I guess He'll knock that down." ()ver and above the skyscrapers is another evidence of the heaven-aspiring character of Xew York, as the airships and balloons frequently rise, and from the high roofs of houses spectators are "rubbernecking with the ever upward gaze. Surely this is no groveling age. Nlan no longer meekly claims kinship with the worms of the dust, but return to the (ireek idea of man—the anthropos —the being with his "face up." The Earth Beneath. But his feet are in the dirt, and dirt is plenty enough in New York. New York grows so fast it can't keep clean. Really it is the dirtiest civilized city I know. It is always tearing down and tearing up. Like a growing boy, always tearing his clothes and without time to wash his hands and face. Even if he should be persuaded to dress up clean, his insatiate activity would prevent him from keeping so. New York never has the finished touch one notices in other cities. Compare it. for instance, with Paris, or even with foggy London. San Francisco, which has gone down and up again within the last four years, is not such a mussy city as New York. ( Positively no NewYorker is permitted to read the above But we must make allowparagraph.) ance for the growing boy. His last year's clothes are never big enough for this year. He seems to be gifted with perpetual youth, and after all. would we not rather see him a trifle unkempt in his appearance than beginning to show a spirit of decrepitude? Still we do not say we would not be better pleased if he would wash and be clean. Then we could look upon this wonderful new creation with real pride and say. "Behold it is very good. We might even share the opinion of a certain commercial traveler whom I ocean voyage, and who in answer to my inquiry said, "I come from the city." "What city?" said I: to which he made the calm retort. "The City; F. S. S. there is but one city." met on an Samuel Newell Emerson. Oct. 10, 1832—Aug 12, 1910. On the 12th of August in the Queen's Hospital of this city there passed on to the world of spirits one of the sons of the early missionaries, who for a lifetime of nearly 78 years had been well known and highly respected by the circle of the old residents u|x>n the island of ()ahu. He was the oldest of the eight children of Rev. John S. Fincrson. and his beloved wife, Mrs. M. S. N. Emerson, who together from their landing as missionaries u|>on these islands in April. 1831. until 186", a period of thirty-six years, held and led the flourishing mission station of Waialua, in the northwest part of this island, with a break of four years spent as teachers in the high school of Lahainaluna. After the death of his father, Mr. Saml. Emerson took filial care of his mother in their Waialua home until she passed on. He was never married, and for late years has lived entirely alone. llc was a wide reader and possessed information in many lines, a most thoroughly conscientious Christian man. He was one of the charter members of the Honolulu Young Men's Christian Association, and one ever worthy of the esteem of his fellow citizens. A marked feature of his career was that of cheerfulness under adverse circumstances, and faithful endeavor for the l>enefit of others. In spite of the almost total deafness that clouded the latter twenty years of life he was a regular attender and worshipper in the house of God. He may in brief be characterized as a humble, cheerful and conscientious O. H. G. Christian man. "Cannot and WILL NOT Be Observed." The following from the May 1 number of the "Brewers' Journal," New York, gives the real attitude of the liquor traffic. It says: "No matter what laws may be made to cripple the bevereges industries of our present time, They cannot and will not be observed by those managing these industries." �THE September. 1910 FRIEND. 5 challenging and skirmishing, it has be- Range Lights gun.

Ten states It broke a new way for liberty of conarc now in the midst of campaigns for out state-wide prohibition. News of the Texas, that eleventh has just come. would cut up into forty-five Hawaiis, has had a plebiscite, and an emphatic majority of her four millions has directed the legislature to present a prohibition lull for the whole great state. Good news comes, too, of better enforcement in the difficult areas, and the howls of the liquor dealers that "prohibition does not prohibit" furnish eloquent corroboration. The only time when they can be believed i? when they lie. At last the time has come when i speech against the liquor business can begin with a strong, high note of cheer. Not that the deep, dark pathos and outrage of the thing have greatly diminished, but because the apathy, the ignorance, the subserviency of decent citizens is disappearing like the valley mists at sunrise; and the sparse and sorrowful militia of former days has grown to an enthusiastic army of invasion, keen and fit for war to.the finish. To those of us who bore the heat and burden of the movement in the lean, gray years, this day has seemed a long time on the way. When Doctor Billy Clark convened the first temperance society of modern times, in Saratoga County, New York, Ik did not dream of anything so extravagant as a campaign to stop the trade, that lawfully, respectably, and as a matter of course held out the cup that curses while it cheers, to all ranks and conditions of society. Even the exjiectation of a little human salvage in his own neighborhood seemed fantastical. That was In 1808. It was a forlorn hope of all but ruined men that formed the Washingtonian Society in the forties. And in the fifties when that movement burst into a flame of righteously indignant legislation, that would have swept the liquor business from the map of trade, the earthquake of civil war came and engulfed it in a tidal wave of Mood and beer and bossism. That was in the sixties. of the partizan wilderness, science, the polls. If there is any human activity in civil or moral engineering entitled to be called fundamental ami eternal, it is that of casting up highways for the people. The Roman Empire has been dead for centuries ; but Roman roads still stretch their brawny arms in full, beneficent efficiency, untouched by age; for kings may come and dynasties may go, but roads rule on forever. A road is an atonement laid in economics. The spirit of God is the togetherness of men, in the name of progress "two or three," or a billion. It was no accident that Jesus never said, "I am the man," but "I am the way." The Prohibition Party was the bridge builder of the great reform, a rough mechanic, but its work abides and will abide. It fixed the hated word "prohibition" in ]K)litical language and put its haughty rival "personal liberty" in permanent contempt. It drove the tough, straight-grained and pointed tree trunks of knowledge, conscience and conviction into the shifting sands of party politics, down to the hardpan. Its persuasions fell like blows, vexing and spattering the Christian voters camping supinely by the party streams, until for very shame, they stood erect at attention, caught the key and rythm of the pile-driver, enlisted in the ragged regiments, crossed the rubicon of Christian independence, and threw their party badges in the stream. So that tonight we stand within the gates of victo — tory. But that means only that we have got a chance to fight. This is the net achievement of a hundred years, that we have made the enemy come out from his distilleries and breweries, his warehouses and saloons, his clubs and speakeasies, his drug stores and canteens, his gambling houses and brothels, into the ojien and into battle form. And this is why we cheer as we go forward ; not because the fight is finished, but because after a baffling century of But our present cheers must not conceal the voices of the future. We shall have hot work, from now on. Villainy takes naturally to strategy; cruelty dies hard. This coward driven farther and farther into a corner will fight like hell. That is to say, will strangle with the brimstone fumes of slander, will trap and torture with the flying cavalry of lies. Yet we do well to cheer, in celebration of the simplified conditions of the conflict. After all the carking yearn of tricks and bribes and crimes, the liquor trade, hemmed in by mountains of public sentiment and rivers of popular knowledge, takes up the gage of battle and with grim and dreadful impudence, proposes a "campaign of education." This itself is victory, and the beginning of the end. And if democracy is not a failure our complete triumph is in sight. All the signs are auspicious. In the first place, a fine new spirit runs through our own ranks. The critical attitude among ourselves is dying out. It was excusable and inevitable in the boom days of mere agitation, and did little harm. Looking back, we see abundant justification, and even abundant, credit, for us all Every move, however rashly made, was well worth while. Every rivalry promoted zeal and sharpened the focus of the public mind. But looking forward, we see that divisions would be hurtful. Cooperation is the keynote for the future. The right hand of fellowship among ourselves is the best weajion we can raise against the . enemy. Shaking hands is good training for the grip and heart muscles, and these are what we shall use mostly. We have to get our ballots, the white fingers of our citizenship, to the throat of the liquor traffic and squeeze its accursed gullet till it quits forever. There must, of course, be a few cavilers where so many are engaged. They are hard to understand. They are impossible to reconcile. They remind one of the baby that was crying bitterly. When a tender-hearted passer asked the boy in charge of the infant "Why doeH the baby cry?" the boy answered resignedly, "Oh, I don't know what makes him cry! He is all the time crying; I never saw anybody look on the dark side like he does." But we who compose the great working body of the movement ought to adopt as a great working commandment, "Thou shalt not cheapen a comrade." In the second place, we have learned �6 slowly and reluctantly, but surely, that economics is the basis of public morality: clothes, shelter, food, efficiency, diversion, justice, man to man. Moral muscles and religious nerves that do not play on these produce mere political hysteria. The present turn of the tide of battle came when the Blucher of "big business" brought its burly reinforcements into action. And now we are as willing as we are able to meet the economic argument where it is, without any show of condescension or superior virtue. The economic argument is on the ground, on the counter, on the bench, on the desk, in service, not in services. The organized liquor trade is base and crooked to the core; but many a citizen who knows that, is yet honestly persuaded that the license system, poor as it is, is all the prohibition that is practicable at present. Such men are not to be belittled, or preached at. They must be met and taken into camp with facts. In the third place, the height and the length of our endeavor, no longer blind us to the breadth of it. The variations of local sentiment and local symptoms have come to be recognized as clearly, and taken as seriously as the great central purpose. County man-ship is seen to be as worthy in its way, as statesmanship. The doctrine of the parable looms large in reason and experience, as well as authority, that the faithful over a few things is in the true line of honorable service and promotion. It is a pity that the charge may yet be heard, sometimes, that local option is immoral. For one thing, the statement is rank nonsense—unless democracy is immoral ; and for another thing, some of the best work in the world is of the masonry of honest mistakes corrected: and the sure correction of the weaknesses of local option is state and national prohibition. The John Brown days are past and gone. This is the Lincoln period of our reform, and Lincoln's charity should pervade it. In the fourth place, the ugly old phrase "whiskey party" has gone to the scrap-heap. There is a whiskey party, but it has no relation to the political parties save that of a highwayman to the stage-coach to hold them up and rob them. The political parties are very disappointing, mixed and human, but they are fundamentally and practically patriotic. Human weakness and selfishness abound in them, but strength and loyalty much more abound. Party lines are fading out, in the light of the new national morality,and we have outgrown the folly of wounding men to win them. THE FRIEND. In the fifth place, the lampooning of Congress is going out of fashion. It is high time. To keep it up would be to advertise our ignorance, or malice, as well as to obstruct our progress. Congressional action is absolutely necessary in aid and recognition of the police power of the states. The Department of Internal Revenue and the regulations of inter-state commerce are in effect the two most powerful friends of the organized treason to everything from the cradle to the flag. To bring them to our side, or shame them into standing up for fair play, is the most important work we have on hand. Meanwhile Congress has become friendly toward our work. Any reasonable statute in aid of state or local prohibition will pass the Senate and the House, by a broadly and splendidly nonpartisan majority, once it can be got on the floor for passage. The peril to such bills is in committee, where minorities may be powerful for delay. I speak from personal and recent knowledge when I say that we can look to Washington with confidence, if only we are sane enough and just enough to be patient with the slow turning of the great federal millstones that have to work on such enormous crops of public sentiment and grind the grist so fine. Finally, we realize better, a fact selfevident, but often overlooked by reformers, that we can go no faster than the people. They are interested in many things, and different groups place the accent of precedence differently. The liquor problem has no warrant to demand the right of way and a clear track. It must simply take its place with the rest and put its trained and mighty shoulder to the wheel of general progress. One still hears, now and then, that we must have "prohibition with a party behind it." That, I think, is precisely what we must not have. Parties, while not unrighteous, are the weakest engines of righteousness. They run by weathercock power. Their cardinal doctrine is "Thou shalt follow the multitude to do whatever will round it up in the party corral." Their message to their young men is: "My son, if enough sinners entice thee, consent and be quick about it." Minority parties are exceptions. But when they come to majority the Delilah of dalliance with power crops their hair. What we need and all we need is prohibition with the people behind it. J« The Outlook. This, I think, is the rationale of the We have won our present situation. fight to get our question to the people. The liquor trade has lost its fight to September, 1910 keep it away from the people. The party boss, our enemy and the liquor dealers' friend, has been Jonahed overboard by the crew of the ship of state, and no political whale appears to have the stomach for a prophet of that flavor. The party constituencies are running together u]>on issues of vital morality. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, has begun to arrive. In the present forward movement we have every advantage of equipment. The breath of victory is in our nostrils The truth of history is with us. The voice of science is heard in our camp. The sanctions of religion gird us to battle. The The press corroborates our message. daily walk and conversation of the business world is toward us. The license system is itself a plea of "guilty," both on the part of the trade and the people. In the past, until the advent of the Anti-Saloon League, we scorned the critical study of "methods." Our work was not education but appeal. "Stand up and be counted for the good you know and have published" was what we said and all we said. Drunkards and drunkenness were the self-evident proofs we offered, and our whole demand was made upon the Christian voter. We won that fight, and that brought us to the present point of departure. But let no man fool himself with the thought that we have whipped the liquor traffic. I know the splendid gains that we have made, and to my own heart I boast about them. But I know also, all too well, that relatively we have made little difference in the volume of the liquor business. I recall how General Braddock. able, brave, proud of his country, loyal to his King, marched with his little army into the Western wilderness against the French and Indians at Fort Duquesne. The Indians met him first. From every British point of view they were contemptible. He could have wiped them out before breakfast if he could have laid hands on them. They were there but he scarcely caught sight of them. In one respect they were anything but contemptible—tenacity and singleness of purpose. They cared nothing about honor. They cared nothing about military form. But they knew the value of their hunting ground, and they were there to save it. They were not too proud to crawl like snakes in the grass. They dodged from tree to tree. They ran like hares. But they shot straight. They staid by the stuff. And General Braddock got into history as the author of "Braddock's defeat." Our enemy is like that. But we are not like that. The advance guard of the liquor trade are moral, industrial and . �THE September. 1910 Who teaches that it is a hardship that political savages. They are out for pelts and scalps and subsistence. They sneak, the saloon must pay a thousand dollars a they crawl, they burrow, they murder year for the mere privilege of showing while they run. They torture the cap- its painted harlot face upon the street? tured, they rob the dead. Who teaches that it is a short-sighted But ours, if not better soldiers than our kinsmen at Fort Duquesne, knew their enemy better. Baffled and checked by treachery, they kept right on. Shot in the back they fell forward, and we steplied over them, and sounded the advance, until by sheer devotion we have torn the blanket Indians of the liquor trade from their cover. And now, at last, they form in the open under the walls of their twin citadels, the brewery and the distillery, where the sleek and epauletted field marshals of the business are in council and command. And now these strategists of hops and malt and mash have set up a bureau of fake statistics and ordered "a campaign of education." It is a paltry battle for real fighting men, but we must accept it. J* So, Then, Forward ! So. then, at last and finally, we face the issue and the enemy, and the ancient, eternal general orders for righteousness run along the line, "Say unto the children of Israel that they go forward."

Now, what are the branches taught in the liquor dealers' campaign of education ? I shall take that up presently. What is not taught is most instructive. Who teaches that a saloon, a brewery, a distillery, a jobbery, a blendery, is a good thing for any community? Who teaches that the liquor seller grades up to the baker or the carpenter, in the scheme of business life? 7 FRIEND business policy to forbid the sale of liquor to men below the age of twentyone? Who teaches that the best patron of the saloon acquires the best judgment for such buying? Who teaches that in advertising the attractions of a community saloons should be set down with churches, schools and factories ? Not a man, drunk or sober, in all the motley multitude of teachers and pupils in the "campaign of education" was ever heard to claim one atom of virtue or of righteousness for the business. Call up the grocery and challenge it, "What right have you to live?" "The right of being honest and useful and helpful. By so much as my merchandise goes out into the homes of the community, it is made a better place to live in." tt Tar and Feathers. Call up the saloon: "Why should we not tar and feather you and ride you out of town upon a rail? Why should we not hang you by the neck at the edge of the city as a warning to others of your kind?" And it answers solely and finally: "My license." Year after year it shuffles to the city hall and buys a permit to live, like a dog. by virtue of the tag of bloody gold upon its neck. Affirmatively, the liquor "campaign of education" includes about a dozen propositions. They are mere effigy epigrams printed to look like arguments: "Prohibition is sumptuary legislation; it violates personal liberty ; it hurts business :it increases taxes; it attacks vested rights; it causes "blind pigs;" it makes men sneaks; it discriminates against the poor; it creates a demand for drugs; it is unscriptural; it does not prohibit; you cannot make men sober by law." Where is the proof in support of these propositions? There is none. They are not set up to be proved. They are not meant to be studied, but to be swallowed bolus Ixilus. They are mere iteration directed at weakness, prejudice antl ignorance. Who are the iterators? Simply the advertising agents of the trade, garnished by a handful of unfortunate preachers who have lost their bearings. The liquor trade's own classification of itself is with the brothel, as a necessary evil—a safety valve for lust. But let us surprise these new educators by taking them seriously—as seriously as ]>ossible. And first: What is a sumptuary law ? It is. or was. a law directed at the buyer, attempting to regulate his conduct, in matters of mere indifference, without any good end in view. For instance, in the reign of Edward IV. a statute was enacted prohibiting anybody "under the degree of a lord," from buying shoes having pointed toes over two inches long. The idea was to discourage habits of luxury among the common people, but it was manifestly unjust and foolish. A prohibitory liquor law is directed at the business of selling and of maintaining a rendezvous for temptation, dissipation and disorder. It says to no "Thou shalt not buy or drink"—though it may, and may well, come to that. It is in the nature of a quarantine regulation, which never says: "Thou shalt not catch yellow fever," but: "Thou shalt not spread yellow fever." Incidentally a law that restrains a man from doing mischief to his neighbor restrains the neighbor's liberty to spend his own money and experiment with his own body, but that does not make it a sumptuary law. How does prohibition violate personal liberty? Personal liberty, in this country, according to Judge Cooley, our greatest writer on constitutional questions, is simply that condition in which rights are established and protected by means of such limitations and restraints upon the action of individual members of the political society as are needed to prevent what would be injurious to other individuals, or prejudicial to the general welfare. Absolute liberty exists only where the person possessing it is powerless to injure others with it. A shipwrecked man, alone on a raft in mid-ocean, has jt, but would give the whole world to swap it for the limitations of civil liberty—the only kind of liberty worth having. In short, absolute liberty is only the obverse side of bankruptcy of opportunity. The liquor business is injurious to everybody, including the owner. Nobody denies that. Prohibition is not tyranny, but protection, for all men, women and children. Does prohibition hurt business? Yes, all the business that tends to ruin—brothels, gambling dens, the white slave trade, vagrancy, begging, pawning, divorcing. But it helps every business that makes for "more abundant life." There is plenty of answers to the complaint that prohibition increases taxes. In the first place, there is no limit to the right of the people to increase taxes for the general welfare. In the second place, the ]>eople never object to increased taxes, if the money be honestly spent for the public betterment. If prohibition sometimes increases taxation, the people's ability to pay is much more increas- man: �8 cd. The tax rate does sometimes rise, when prohibition is adopted, but the rise is only temporary. The assessed valuation of property increases, industry revives, earning |x>wer improves ; court, police, poor-house expenses decrease, and, after a year or two, the rate swings back to normal or below. If not, it is because increased school attendance compels new schoolhouses and teachers, or the quickening of civic pride demands better roads and public buildings, or new public works for light, water, transportation, sewers and the like. As to the destruction of property. A liquor license is not property. It is a mere badge of incorrigible meanness and a tcmiiorary waiver of the inalienable right to protect life, liberty and happiness. Even if it were property, prohibition does not destroy it, but only declines to resurrect it when it dies; or if prohibition does destroy it, it is only the tearing down of a shack to save a city. Does prohibition discriminate against the poor? It never does. It knows no rich or poor or gixxl or bad. It is the license system that squeezes out the poor. The whole merit claimed for high license is that it favors the applicants that have the most money. Does prohibition make men sneaks? It simply brings a moment of decision to be a man, or a sneak. It segregates the sneak into his own class, apart from men who will not sneak. It did not put the sneak in office at Newark, Ohio. It only coagulated the bad blotxl ill the body |xilitic so that the surgeon-governor could cut out the embolism and save the city's life. Does prohibition cause the use of other drugs? The disease ami depravity induced by alcohol doubtless seek solace and excitement in other equivalents of poison; but that argument would cut out prohibition of opium and cocaine, which are indeed less dangerous on the whole than alcohol. Does prohibition breed "blind pigs?" High license is the snouted, swill fed mother of that breed of swine. Prohibition puts out the eyes of the pigs that can see, and makes the whole litter game for the sheriff. "Blind pigs" are real "razor-backs," and hard to catch. But they do little harm as compared to the open-eyed kind. The blind pig suckles its own, but makes no strong bid for the better born. Its dirty dugs are uninviting to the more cleanly animalism. Prohibition kills the open saloons and chases the blind pigs. License protects the open saloons and feeds the blind pigs. But we shall still have the blind pigs, under prohibition! Yes. any good housekeeper may have a cockroach in the kitchen. But no good housekeper would THE FRIEND, September, 1910 agree to keep one cockroach in her to the contempt and confusion of law ?

What kind of traitor is from Sinai to Salvation Army, stands for more dangerous to liberty than the liquor prohibition. Paul's advice to Timothy, to use a little wine as a medicine, is irrelevant. That Jesus made wine—if he did— at Cana, for guests who after hours of festivity and having "well drunk," were still so clear-headed and clean-mouthed that they detected and enjoyed the new, fine flavor of a better article, docs not bear. We arc not dealing with ancient oriental hospitality, or wine miraculously made, but with twentieth century breweries and distilleries that organize appetite into trusts to exploit the weak and ignorant and vicious to the tune of billons annually. The scripture that is in point is "Woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink." When a man tells you that "you can't make men moral by law," you may knowthat you arc being instructed fay a parrot, a fakir or a fool. He might as well say you can't produce a bent tree by inclining the twig. That is about all you can tlo fay law. Laws are almost never enforced literally. Comparatively few receive punishment for broken law. Not many give obedience to law through fear. A remedial statute cuts comparatively little figure in the first fifty years of its existence. It is the silent, unfelt pressure of it on incoming generations that makes the people moral by so much as it is moral. A Fake with a Label. The assertion that "prohibition does not prohibit" is a curiosity—a fake labeled "fake." It might, if one were not afraid of being inelegant, be called a ltuuiniferous lie. It analyzes a shaft of darkness, as the prism dissolves a ray of light into the solar spectrum. Who is it says: "Prohibition does not prohibit ?" The liquor dealer. Who profits when it fails ? The liquor dealer. Who is in command of the powers of administration when it fails? The liquor dealer. Why does it fail? Because the average liquor dealer is confessedly and incorrigibly a criminal, a combination of Fagan and Bill Sikes, in treason against the popular will and the popular right. Dtx's somebody resent that generalization on the ground that many liquor dealers are men of gtxid repute? I am I am speaking not speaking of repute. broadly of character, and I weigh my words, Tell me wherein is a fence for stolen goods worse than an offset of big business that knowingly and wilfully supplies liquor to brothels and speakeasies. dealer who denies and prevents the right of the people even to vote on the question of prohibition? For that treason if for no other reason the liquor traffic ought to be killed. These are the ugly high lights brought out in this rough- brief analysis of the failures of prohibition. We have in this country an organized band of outlaws, the most compact, determined anil efficient body in American politics, the crudest master and the most generous rewardcr of weaklings and criminals in office. It is undeniably difficult to control them. But unless this is to be a government of liquor dealers, by liquor dealers and for liquor dealers, this masterful cabal of traitors, now seen so clearly and so unanimously despised, is due for destruction. And that is not prophecy, but living, growing fact. The law abiding are already coming to their own. Decency and sobriety under law are gaining ground and the full-pocketed, red-handed, blackhearted conspiracy is giving back, with snarling* and curses, to its fall. Prohibition already works well in country palees. next best in villages and little towns, worst in the cities, but better and better everywhere. In Maine notwithstanding its millions of summer visitors from the cities, and the swarm of unruly men incident to the present era of internal development, the law makes headway. The people, the hardest-headed in the union, loyally maintain the law; the Congressional delegation, the ablest in Congress, affirm the value of the policy, and the governor certifies to its increasing success in practice. In Kansas, the plague spots of nullification are clearing up. Kansas City. Topeka, Wichita and Leavenworth obey the law, the jails are nearly empty, and the rxxir farms are rechristened "prosperity stations" and devoted to agricultural instruction and experiment. North Dakota shows a similar record. In every prohibition state conditions of enforcement go visibly from good to better. I lalf the territory and half the population of the nation, arc under prohibitory law by the vote of the citizens. Still better conditions are near at hand in Congressional relief, against the states being cheated and defeated in a measure. by bad neighbors on their borders and the unfair status of the inter-state commerce law. �THE FRIEND. September, 1910 Meanwhile the moral level rises and the civic fiber toughens, in town, city, county, state and nation. The day of the "good man" in office has arrived. The sun of partyism is going down. And prohibition of the liquor traffic today prohibits better than the decalogue. This, briefly, but fully enough, is a Study of the liquor campaign of obscuration. It seems necessary to treat it thus respectfully for the benefit of the great number of vaguely favorable voters, for whom the old-fashioned strong, bulk, arguments assume too much of knowledge and of interest. It remains to present our case, briefly and summarily, in rebuttal. J* The Case in Rebuttal. It has been shown conclusively that the use of alcoholic liquor tends to excess ; and on that wonl "excess" the whole stress of former argument has been laid until now. The strong, welldisposed and well-to-do have confessed and avoided the issue by answering: "But alcohol is a food, a medicine, and a legitimate article of trade, to be sold under careful regulations and used in reason. Nursing mothers require it, the anaemic, the dyspeptic, the tuberculous, the over-worked. We must forbid sales to minors and drunkards. We must prescribe hours for the business. We must police it rigidly. We must provide, at public expense, for treatment or imprisonment for inebriates. We must encourage the Salvation Army and private benevolences in the interest of the weak and the depraved." This answer, if it were sound, was so -.hallow that it seems both heartless and stupid. It made no accounts of the parents, wives and children of the pations and victims of the trade. Nor of the economic losses and injustices entailed upon the citizens who serve the people in the useful trades and professions, and upon the general public. But it was not sound. Alcohol has practically no food value. It is a dangerous medicine and a more demoralizing article of trade than opium, cocaine and lottery tickets. The ohl argument that centered on "excess" holds good today of course, and strengthens with the years. But the new century brings forth new challenges ami better reasons. And now the accent of the argument moves up from "excess" t: moderation, from weak men to strong nun. from minors and drunkards to the mature and the sober. This is part of the same change that has taken place in all the lines of moral and intellectual progress. The historicthat we older people studied were the genealogies of kings; those that children study now are plain stories of the cus- of the common people. Almost the youngest of us can remember how the patriotic speeches used to ring the changes on the evils of monarchy, the insolence of kings, our escape from old-world oppression, lilxrty of conscience and the great, raw rights of toms man. 9 beverage without suffering actual and measurable reduction of his higbest efficiency, and a lowering of his power of resistance to disease, we can command his attention and his aid. This man, pent up in the midst of terrific competition, demanding the liest, and keen to give the best, is sure and ready to listen when we tell him that alcohol is not only a habit-forming beverage, but also and more certainly, a disease-bearing drug, the prolific cause of Blight's disease, tuberculosis, insanity and paresis—that the whole liquor business stands for waste, inefficiency, failure, sickness —that it stands for race suicide, milkless breasts in motherhood, and rickets and epilepsy in children, even from the womb. We claim this man for prohibition because we can prove that the liquor business is the public school of the drink habit. We claim this man for prohibition because we can prove that the liquor business is like an iceberg, showing above the surface only a tithe of its whole bulk of peril. We demand that this man read into the license "opium" instead of liquor and then take his bearings. We claim this man for prohibition precisely for the reason that the Board of Health conscripts him into the extermination of rats that carry bubonic plague. We claim this man for prohibition on the same ground that the state slaughters tuberculous cows, and the municipality taxes him to drain the marshes where the mosquitoes breed, in malaria and yellow fever. We claim this man for prohibition for the same reason that we compel him to clean up his stable and cart away the dung hill where the housefly breeds and sticks in cholera for distribution when its wings have grown. We claim this man for prohibition, not because we hate the liquor dealer. Liquor dealers are vermin. We don't hate vermin. We don't kill many by law. We break up their breeding places. We claim this man for prohibition by every sanction of good citizenship. The Church has put "the drink" out of the communion. We must put it out of busi- But today we laugh at that kind of Popular statesmanship consists no longer ill twisting the British lion's tail, but the American elephant and donkey have fallen upon evil times for tail culture. Normal, present, detailed matters of internal right and duty are at the bar of public opinion. The moral ami mental revolution that came in with the new century has for its nucleus the new, great word "conservation." It concerns not only the care of forests, mines and water power, but also, and more, the preservation of health, opportunity, efficiency and man-power. ()r, put negatively, for the sake of greater clearness, since a great part of the business of democracy today consists in throwing up defenses against pests and raitlers and robbers, the public mind is focusscd now. on problems of preventing waste, privilege, poverty, sickness and preventible suffering. Religion that used to thunder about heaven and hell and damnation, today speaks quietly of a new earth here and now, with salvation running in the streets. Medicine that used to be anchored at the bedside of disease is now the minister of health, and works in the open, treating the streams and marshes where the purveyors of sickness lay their ■pawn. Law that used to revel in breaches of contract, damages for torts, and punishments for crimes, concerns itself today with counsel for avoidance of actions and trespasses, and the devising of wholesale measures of reform. The great charities that used to lay their emphasis on misery, now put their millions into playgrounds, parks, schools of research, with a keynote of happiness. Rescue work that used to sit and scan the sea of life for wrecks, now carries cheer and instruction to the homes where the small craft of citizenship are outfitting for the deep.

A few days ago a member came in and said his nephew was coming in on the boat that day, and would want a job. Helping the stranger connect is right in our line, so Mr. Member was told to bring his nephew around. He did so. Within an hour from the time his nephew landed we had placed him in a position paying a good wage, to the delight of the member, his nephew, the man that got the employee he needed, and ourselves. J* Another. When this man came to town a few weeks ago he came right to the Y. M. C. A. with the comment that he thought he could find the sort of friends and help he wanted. He joined the Association, and applied for a job. Within a week from his arrival the Association liad placed him in a ix>sition with fine possibilities of advancement. J* This Time a Soldier. He arrived in Honolulu with alxnit seven dollars in his pocket, and a friend in the membership of the Y. M. C. A.. which was letter. He was a fine big fellow, but uneducated, and it looked as if it would be hard to land him in a good place. His friend brought him to the Association, and we tried to get on the trail of work for him. Temporary work was found, and soon a permanent position on a plantation. These cases show how helpful an organization the Association can be in a community. js The Last Year. September 6 Dr. Hand will arrive from the States, the last of our force to return from vacation, and right away the work of the year, the last in the old building, will begin. We go into the fall work with the highest of hopes and best of spirits. Vacation time has given us opportunity to get a new vision of our field and work, to plan new features, to correct methods, study, and get new inspiration. While we have no such spectacular stunt as last year's building campaign up our sleeves, yet we will interest a good many young men, anil let folks know we are alive. The membership committee says i; is going to get a total of 800 members in the Association, and the educational committee wants 300 students in the night school. The old Greeks said. "They can. because they think they can." Our committees have a good deal of that kind of canning in their system. sf Our Basket Ball Team. The warm weather of summer did not discourage our athletes. They organized Jas. S. Nott as captain, and went after the nearest scalp. I* happened to be that of Fort Shatter. We beat them first on our court, then a little worse on theirs, and then still worse on a neutral court. To celebrate this series of victories, the general secretary gave the Ixiys a party at his house. Souvenir lead soldiers with a paper basket ball attached were found at each man's plate at table as mementoes of the suin'mer's work. a basket ball team with J> Our Field. The following discriminating stateregarding the field of the S. M. C. A. is taken from the annual rejxirt of Mr. L. Wither Messer, for many years general secretary of the Chicago Young Men's Christian Association, an Association that has won the approval of the business men of the city. This is shown by the statement that it has received over $1,700,000 in gifts during the past two years. Sober reasoning has led the Asstxriation to believe that its effort should be mainly directed to the building of Christian character of men and boys, the preoccupying of such lives by the constant use during leisure hours of constructive forces which make for symmetrical manhood. In accomplishing this object the Association believes that its evangelistic spirit was never so strong, if by evangelism is meant the real and practical interpretation of the spirit and teachings of Jesus to those who arc in greatest need. For the Association to attempt to conduct great evangelistic campaigns for the city in general would be to usurp the functions and privileges of the clergy, the churches ami other organizations which stand for that specific thing. For tlie Association to promote movements for the civic and stxrial l>etterment of the city would be to do in a less effective way what the clubs and specific societies organized for the purpose are doing with an ever-increasing degree of efficiency.

The Assix'iation, therefore, would forfeit its claim for continued support if its lines of advance should be similar to those organizations which are already effective in meeting existing needs. The great future work of the Association must be the building of Christian character among men and boys who are not effectively helped by other agencies. For the Association to follow the method of the professional evangelist, or devote its energies in drastic condemnation of the habits and beliefs of the non-Christian, or even immoral, man, or to set itself as a judge of disputes between capital and labor, or tti purify the municipal life of the city or to clean up the vice districts, would be to close the door of access to the great multitude of men who today, through prejudice or ignorance, fail to respond to the forces which stand for the moral and six:ial betterment of our city life. The Association has but one job, as before stated, namely, the building of Christian character in young men and boys who fail to respond to other agencies which seek to help them. The Association is able to bring to its buildings and under its influence many thousands of men and boys each year who never darken the doors of a Protestant church, and, in fact, many who do not go to any church. Here is where the final test of Association efficiency is found. The supporting membership of the Governor of Nagasaki, one of the fortythree prefectural chiefs appointed by the emperor, is breaking down prejudice and attracting interest in Christianity in that section of Japan. The Governor said, "I am not giving this money to the Association because it is a proselyting stKiety, but because it is doing a wholesome and needed work, and because the country needs just such moral influences thrown around its youth. The seventy-five men, who composed the new Chinese Provincial Parliament, sent an invitation to the secretary of the Poochow Association, the only foreigner invited, to attend its first meeting, which marked the beginning of an era of representative government in the oldest ami largest nation of the world. • jl Causing Talk.

It was said that he had given a site for a church antagonistic to the Christian faith and refused to give to the Association building.

He was shown a catalogue and told he might get one for twenty-five cents. "No," said he, "1 want a good one—the best." One was ordered for him and delivered, and that was the beginning of a series of long talks about the Bible and the Christian life. He seized every opIKirtunity for help. He applied for church membership. People were astonished to see him and the president of the bank he had antagonized walking down the street arm in arm, and much more so when both, together with a leading attorney of the city, came before the church for baptism and membership. Then ensued an intense personal work among the business men. more than fifty of whom have been won through him and the men he has enlisted. What a change! Central Union News A. A EBERSOLE Under the Spell of the "Other Sheep." Our first Sunday in Italy was spent by us two alone. Staying over night at La Cava, among the hills, we took the early train for the ancient Greek town of Paestuiu or Poseidon's Town, that is the Town of the Sea God. Six centuries before Christ a prosperous Greek colony peopled the plain and had built their city on the shore of what is now the lovely THE FRIEND, bay of Salerno. There they expressed their faith partly in the form of a series of massive temples, the ruins of three of which have withstood the tempests, the more terrifying earthquakes and the still more jxitent wear of two and a half milleniums. The place was not on the itinerary of our party, hence we slipped off by ourselves. It was a perfect summer's day, the heat tempered to coolness by a refreshing sea breeze, and when we reached the little station we found only four other persons bound on the same quest as ourselves. The temples are in the midst of green fields, surrounded by prosperous farms, the deep blue sea on one side, and mountains in the background. The Temple of the Sea God is the best preserved of the three, a structure in se- vere simple Doric style, the stone mellowed by age into a rich brown in perfect harmony with the brilliant greens and blue of land and sea. Here we two seated ourselves in the shade of the splendid columns and held our quiet service of worship. As we joined in prayer and psalm it seemed as though the centuries faded into nothingness and the thronging thousands of the past, who here had expressed their devotion to the unknown God by building this noble temple and resorting hither to worship, were all about us. A fuller meaning of Jesus' words, "Other sheep have I which are not of this fold" flooded our souls and we found ourselves in mysterious blessed communion with the worshipful spirits of all ages and all faiths. It was a wonderful morning and will linger in memory as long as time endures. No better introduction to strange who differ in manifesting their sense of dependence upon the Common Father of us all, could have been provided for us. Its inspiration has continued every subsequent day. It has proved the key to open doors of sympathy in all our contact with both past and present in this wonderful country. We realize as never before that the strongest of all ties is not family or country or race, but the common humanity which Jesus came to reveal by showing all men their Father and by binding them together in Himself their Elder Brother antl Friend. DOREMUS SCUDDER. J« President King's Visit. ()nce again have we been made to realize how great an advantage it is to live on"the cross-roads of the Pacific," where we may get to see and hear so many of the leading men of America, either as they go out to visit the Orient or return from there. 11 President Henry Churchill King, of Oberlin College, has just spent two weeks in Hawaii on his way home, in his trip around the world, and has enriched us all by his splendid addresses, and by his association with us this little while. He arrived in Honolulu on the steamer Korea Saturday afternoon, August 6, at exactly 4 o'clock, just in time to attend a public reception which had been arranged for him by Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Castle on the lawn of their beautiful home from four to six o'clock that afternoon. "Just like President King," said one of his former pupils, as the automobile swept up to the house and President King stepped briskly out just in time to meet the first of the arriving guests, "always coming in to his class just at the last minute, but never late. Although it was mid-summer and a great many of the leading families were away, there was a large attendance at the reception—several hundred of the best people of Honolulu being present to meet "resident King. And on Sunday morning Central Union Church was crowded, it having been announced that if the boat got in in time President King would preach. He gave a most able discourse on "Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done." Sunday evening he spoke in the old historic Kawaiahao Church to a union meeting of the Hawaiian churches of the city. The pastor of the church, Rev. Henry Parker, introduced him in the Hawaiian language, and as President King arose he said that that added one more to the many different languages in which he hail been introduced the past year. He gave them his "Laws of the Djvine Friendship" in such simple, forceful language that an interpreter was hardly necessary. There were very few among all the Hawaiians present who did not understand the greater part of his address. By special request he gave an address on his impressions of the Orient at a union mid-week meeting on the Wednesday following, taking for his subject, "The Program of the Advance of Western Civilization in the East." This was in reality one of the lectures which President King has been preparing while in Honolulu to give at the University of California as soon as he reaches the coast. We could not help but wish that it might have been possible for him to give the entire series here. Let us hope that they may soon be published, that we may all enjoy them. But the address which the people of Honolulu will remember longest was his address, "Facing the Facts of Life," and the question box which he conducted after it. at Central Union Church on the second Sunday evening. We all felt sat- �THE FRIEND. 12 isfied, for Honolulu had heard our president at his best. With his speech-making done and his California lectures completed, everything was favorable for the trip to Hawaii, and the volcano Kilauea, which he had planned to make the second week. Rev. W. D. Westervelt accompanied him, and as good fortune would have it, the volcano was very active while they were there. President King came back very enthusiastic over the trip. The "(Iberlinites," of whom there are some thirty in Honolulu, wished very much to have an evening with President King. Fortunately the Nippon Maru, which was to sail on Saturday, was a day late, and that left Saturday evening for this delightful occasion. A goodly number of former Obcrlin students, their wives and husbands, gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Forbes. Toasts on"The Oberlin of the Past," "The Oberlin of the Present," "The Oberlin of the Future," "Our King," and "Mrs. King" were happily responded to, after which Mr. Percy Pond presented to the president a large album of Hawaiian views to carry home with him as a memento of his visit here." 1 le left for San Francisco Sunday afternoon, carrying with him Honolulu's warmest "Aloha." and their wish that he might return some time again.

The quickening air of the heights hovers above ready to charge us with life even as the mysterious "sa" in which the Egyptian gods sought energy in realms beyond the known world. And so if our country has been engrossed in the building of her trails and the assembling of her powers and the fortifying of her institutions it is not that she lacks the ear attuned and the eye alert for the more splendid offerings of ex|>erience. The way has been toilsome and exacting. But the ascent has well begun. Strength accruing has released strength over and above that required for the climb. America is on the verge of a new appreciation of the beautiful and a deep revelation of herself. What else can be the meaning of the noble hills that our Carreres and Cass' and Burnhams are rearing, exhibiting as they do a grandeur gleaned from Greek and Moor and from the Gothic era? What other significance in the art that adorns their walls, conceived by our Abbeys and Sargents and Alexanders in the very spirit of our age anil therefore redolent with that faithfulness which lies at the center of beauty's soul ? < )r who can doubt that our St. Gaudens' and Barnards and Wards, sculptors of life and labor and world visions, are giving classic form to a craft of which they know well the spirit?

And what shall be said of that most subtle of all forms of beauty— poetry ? Possibly Lanier and Gilder are the earliest beams of its renaissance. It is not worthy of America to pursue the trail for the mere brute exhilaration of violent exertion. A loftier purpose should guide her even than that involved in setting a record of achievement. Her glory need not be a glory dimmed by cloud, inevitable as it is that the fog should now and again descend and blanEven were she to ket the outlook. slacken perceptibly from her terrible endeavor the apparent retardation need not be one of disadvantage or loss. But a little beyond the bird songs are echoing and the peaks rising. There is completeness, for there the life of the spirit downs the soul that has been reaching upward to discover itself. The trail has been found. The prospect waits to break Upon us. ranges of hills and THE FRIEND within them souls of their own. If such be conceivable of trees, how much more so of many an old homestead sheltered by yews or elms or perhaps fantastic algarobas and centering in a simple old house which the storms of a hundred winters and the passing of successive generations have consecrated. The charm of such spots lies partly in their associations, but no less in the unaffected dignity with which an age of simple living and unpretentious ideals invested them. The want of this simplicity, attainable in a building of whatever day or character, robs many a modern structure of its sole claim to respectability. In this out of door community one's unconscious conviction is that houses are an alien necessity at best. They exist by sufferance as a concession to Hawaii's inheritance of northern civilization. Of how great import, therefore, that our homes be of unobtrusive accommodating appearance. Architectural axioms are easy of comprehension. The precepts of beauty for the home builder are not complex. A house of pleasing appearance costs no more to construct than does an ugly one. Some time our new social conscience will comprehend what now is too often regarded as one of the neglibles in its campaign for city improvement. The citizen will feel the force of a public sentiment which forbids him to ignore the canons of good taste in rearing his rooftree. In that day the city home as well as the modest manor will invest itself with the soul atmosphere —an atmosphere which, consorting with the genius of the spot, grows rich in associations as the years go by.

The Hawaiian was once a farmer. His conditions made him such. His welfare kept him such. There were no sufficient inducements in former days to detach him from the land. But such inducem ments came later on. And when they Houses and 1 louses. came hisconditionslikewisechanged.

Those upon the tree- for ages has nurtured changes made large sugar estates desir- 13 able, and it was easy to dispose of kuleanas to the fancied advantage of their owners. New avenues of employment created restiveness. The allurements of city life were persistent and appealing. Being a naturally gregarious people the current city-ward made the left-behinds discontented, and they too sought fellowships of city life. So that while there are yet many Hawaiians getting a comfortable living from the land, there are districts that have been abandoned by them to such an extent as to make their absence noticeable. j» Where Have They Gone? Some have perished from the land. But a considerable contingent is to be found in Honolulu. In that number are not a few who are helplessly stranded. Their resources are exhausted. They are living in great poverty. They are the prey of untoward circumstances. That means dissipation, insufficient food, close crowding in limited quarters, unsanitary conditions, and the white plague. ji The White Plague. In this wonderful climate, where outdoor life is a year-round privilege, tuberculosis was once an almost unknown disease. Now there is a death every day the year through from this scourge. And a large proportion of the deaths are in Honolulu and among Hawaiians. Various devices and projects are fairly under way to check the inroads of this white plague. The public has been generous in its support of schemes to corral this evil and to lessen its ravages. Some of these schemes look forward to better housing for the poor under more sanitary conditions. But these schemes have in view the continued stay in the city of the people among whom this disease is making the greatest headway. Would it not be a wiser scheme to induce some of these people at least to return to the country? J« Back to the Land. The best housing, the best conditions, the greatest comfort, are to be found by these people by going back again to the land. Freedom from the depraving influences of city life, the wholesome effect of honest toil under healthful conditions, the new outlook that comes with the sense of ownership, the physical vigor that comes from a sufficiency of good food — these are the best combatants of a disease that thrives on beings who have lost heart, and have become dissipated and are living in unsanitary conditions. The surest way to combat the white plague is to cut off its supply of material. There �14 are doubtless hundreds of strong, ablebodied men and women living in untoward circumstances in Honolulu who will fall victims to tuberculosis if they keep on as they are, but who might be rescued from such a disaster if they could get back again to the land. a* The Economic Advantage. We are spending considerable money per head for immigrants to come into this country and to go upon the land. Some experiments in this line have had a ques- tionable outcome. If further experiments are to be tried, why not try some of them with the natives of the soil ? It surely would be more economic to induce stranded Hawaiians in Honolulu to return to the soil, than to spend so much money in charitable expedients to meet the needs and to ward-off the evils of their continuance in present conditions. Besides, the Hawaiians have a clear claim to primary consideration in the present movement for the resettlement of the land. Once they were splendid producers. Given favorable conditions they can become such again. And it is better to rescue a good producer out of the slums of I lonolulu than to go abroad for one. We are in the early stages of some very radical changes in industrial methods in Hawaii, and it will prove an economic advantage all around to give the willing Hawaiian a fair chance on his native soil. September, 1910 THE FRIEND. bably be to invite failure in many instances. They love to be in communities together. There are certain advantages that come with proximity to others, such as schools and churches, that depend on united action. Hence the most hopeful method of securing a permanent return to the land would be that of colonizing. That would mean a careful selection of location, as to soil, rainfall, facilities for transportation, and general wholesomeness. It would mean a central supervision that would act in behalf of the general good. It would mean wise planning for the sixrial betterment of the colony. It would mean such a holding of the land that each individual would possess ownership rights in definite pieces of land subject to reversal to the colony whenever the individual should cease to reside on such land.

Hawaii Cousins "AULD LANG SYNE." delightful reunion of old PunaA hou boys and girls was held at the residence of Judge and Mrs. S. B. Dole, on the afternoon of August 31st, 1910, at four o'clock. David B. Lyman and Mrs. Lyman, with Mrs. Mills, were the guests of honor. Judge and Mrs. Dole, in their own gracious and inimitable manner, received their guests, and at once set them at ease, saying, "You are William, David, Orramel, Ellen, Bob, Mary, just boys and girls again, today." After the reception all repaired to the spacious lanai, with its hanging baskets, vines and palms, its large cage where canaries flew free from perch to perch among the green ; and its wide, surrounding ledge, which served as well for seats for the silver-haired boys and girls, as for the rare plants. Here were tables and chairs, and the book for registering names, and here delicious refreshments were served by graceful maidens in dainty attire. Judge Dole welcomed the guests in an address humorous, eulogistic and retrospective. He introduced his remarks by explaining, in a pleasing way, why Chicago cousins seldom return to Hawaii. Something in the air holds them, but David Lyman, going out for a breath of fresh air .founded a city, and has spent his time since in developing it. Mr. Dole recalled many incidents of this "iron age" at Punahou. Mrs. Mills was called upon, and spoke of the economics of this "iron age," and of the fine class of boys and girls at Punahou at that time, and she was glad to see the developed lives of these students and to know the good they have done. When asked if she remembered certain boys, she said, "I remember nothing bad." Mrs. Weaver recalled names and games anil many incidents of Punahou life in olden times. A. B. Clark regretted that Judge and Mrs. Lyman could not remain. He had spent many years in Chicago and had many friends there, but there is no place like the Islands for a home. He felt very grateful to Mrs. Mills that her memory was no better. C. H. Dickey especially welcomed Mrs. Lyman and claimed to be her oldest friend in Hawaii, as he knew her as a little girl in Tennessee, and had attended the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Lyman. most - �September. 1910 When Mr. Lyman was called upon, his apology for reading his address was lack of time to tell half or even a small fraction of what he had to say, and he must either condense on pa]x;r or talk till morning. Mr. Lyman s(X)ke as follows: Receiving an intimation at a late date from our honored host that I might be asked to say something on this occasion, and fearing 1 may say too much and abridge our social intercourse, I have hastily noted a few thoughts. I confess, however, that I feel somewhat embarassed to speak as an Old Punahou Boy. 1 was one of the smallest, youngest and most humble of the splendid lot of Punahou boys and girls with whom I associated at school some years ago. I was shown the Blue Book a few days since, with the remark: "We girls were always tender about our ages, and you need not expect that any of the old girls who were of your age or older, will attend the reception of any old Puimliou Boy." I replied: "The boys and girls of Punahou never grow old, and are as young in their hearts as ever." 1 am quite willing to concede, as I have probably experienced more snowbound winters than anyone here, that 1 am the oldest of the crowd present, but I am not a Rip Van Winkle, as I have brought my wife with me. The old days of Punahou in which we lived were in the Iron Age, and when 1 meet or hear of the boys and girls of that age, I am filled with wonder and admiration at their position and success. They stand like the Cedars of Lebanon or the Towers of Heshbon. We are all proud of President and Mrs. Alexander, who have just entered into their golden age ; of the eloquent and saintly Henry Parker, who leads and guides the oldest and most ini|X)rtant Hawaiian body of Christians: of Judge Dole, the former president and governor, the first and foremost of our statesmen and politicians, who reminds us. by his wisdom, of his saintly father, the founder of Punahou School and Oabu College; of Mr. Henry Baldwin, William Castle, Samuel Damon, George Wilcox, and many other equally well known successful business men. lawyers and statesmen, who are fitting representatives of the Iron Age of Punahou. I miss, too, many men and women belonging to that age, who have been leaders at home and abroad, among whom are General Samuel C. Armstrong, Chief Justice Frank Judd, Samuel T. Alexander, Charles H. Cooke. Henry M. Lyman, Porter Green and others. We can say of all that they fought the good fight and finished their course and left the impress of their lives in this and other parts of the world. • THE FRIEND. We had co-education in those days and the most lovely and beautiful girls in the world. The Misses Judd, Pattie Cooke Alexander, Emma Smith Dillingham, Sarah K. Clark Lyman, Lucinda Severance. Juliette Cooke Atherton, Annie and Emily Alexander. Emily Baldwin and many others equally able and attractive. When I left the Islands, most of our dear fathers and mothers were alive and doing God's work with that ability and vigor which made the Hawaiian nation a Christian nation, the motto of which was, "Ua Man Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono." I find on my return only one of that noted band living, namely, dear Mother Rice. 94 years of age. who. with her faculties intact, still prays for the peace of Jerusalem, and rejoices in the progress of the world. With this single exception, every one of our fathers and mothers who were living when I left Hawaii, and who consecrated their lives for the redemption and salvation of the Hawaiian people, now rest from their labors. I find everywhere, the impress of their lives upon the people of Hawaii, through their sons, daughters, grand-children and great-grand-children. I am asked daily: "How do the Islands look to you on your return?" My answer is. they are perfectly lovely, and our few weeks stay in the Islands has been a joy to my wife and myself. I have had more pleasure and fun to the square inch than during any other equal time of my life. I have realized what was so well said by another, that to get the most out of any land, one must have loved every hill, mountain and stream from boyhood. He must have seen, as he has often gone over it, sunsets and sunrises, mountain and bay, winter frosts and summer harvests: he must have had a heart as full as a bobolink's, and a friend by his side, whose presence irradiated and glorified all things. One's native land, only, can furnish the finest drive in the world, and, during our brief visit here, all of these conditions have been realized, and we have had the joy and privilege to ride over roads and through scenery unequaled in any part of the world. The drive to the top of Punchbowl; through Ntuianu Valley, over the Pali and around the Island of 15 Oahu; on Kauai from Lihue to Waimea, and from Lihue to Hanalei; the drive from Hilo to Kalapana, and from Hilo to Kilauea; and the wonderful automobile road from the Volcano House to the Lake of Fire, Halemaumau, equal, and perhaps surpass the drives in Switzerland and Italy; or even what is called the finest drive in the world, the road along the shores of the Bay of Naples from Sorrento to Castel-a-Mare. Leaving here fifty years ago, making a swift voyage of 125 days in a sailing vessel around Cape Horn to New Bedford, and leaving the country without many of the comforts of life at that time, I return to find the cozy grass houses replaced by substantial wooden and stone homes. Kukui candles, tallow dips, whale oil lamps, are replaced by gas and electric lights, and by modern lights in the country. Even the food has changed—in some cases for the worse. Poi, fish, cocoanuts, cocoanut water, sugar cane, limu, luau. kalo. the praises of which were chanted and sung by the bards and priests of Hawaii from time immemorial, and re-echoed by the boys and girls of Punahou of the Iron Age, have mostly disappeared, and have been superseded by the dyspeptic, rheumatic and appendicitis-producing food so highly recommended by some of the successful doctors and surgeons of the present age. I find the grand old hills and mountains in every part of the islands unchanged. The blue sky and old ocean, and the swiftly rolling surf, are as they were. But, many changes have come, which seem strange. The dear old monarchy, under which I was born and loved, is sii|xjrseded by the stable government of our common country. The barren plains adjoining Honolulu have been irrigated and are covered with the most luxuriant vegetation. Trees, ornamental and fruit, have made Honolulu the garden spot of the Pacific. Hilo. the Paradise of Hawaii, has only six houses standing which existed fifty years ago, and, in place of the sleeping paradise, a city is springing into existence, with a mighty harbor, in which the United States is expending over three millions of dollars on the breakwater alone.

Fifty years ago I visited Kilauca from Hilo. traveling on foot, taking two days to reach the volcano. Another day was consumed in descending to the depths of the crater, and passing, by slow and painful stages, to the Lake of Fire On the opposite side. Within the last few days 1 visited the same crater, going by automobile from Hilo to the volcano, staying in a luxurious hotel on the brink of the crater, and then by swift passage in an automobile, almost to the Lake of Fire. Having occasion to call in the services of a physician from Hilo, 1 used the telephone, and obtained the presence of the doctor ill two hours. We have received a warm welcome from my old frientls and from many new ones. My wife and myself will leave Hawaii with the deepest gratitude to one and all, and with our most earnest tiesire for the peace and prosperity of all our friends and the people at large. I have been greatly impressed with the cosmopolitan character of the people, iii every portion of the Islands. The dear, lovely, true-hearted Hawaiian is giving place to a more mixed and new people. Hawaii is the "Melting Pot" of the Pacific, anil is moulding many nationalities into a new life, which, I believe, will be better and stronger than any that has gone before; provided, that those who are the leaders, will repsect and carry out the old motto of the nation, and will bring the Shinto and Buddhist temples and other strange religions which are coming to our shores, into peaceful harmony anil obedience to the Golden Rule and the religion taught by the Son of Righteousness.

Are we conquerors In life's battle? Are we winning victor's palms? Does the fragrance of our living, Rich in pure unselfish giving, Rise to heaven daily like the Sweet-toned notes of psalm-i? Have we learned the hardest lesson That this earthly life can give? How in pure self-sacrifice The real fame and honor lies; How by sweet unselfishness We learn the way to live.

Since the report was finished in early May. five of our family of cousins have passed beyond this life. Three of these names appear in the first report of the society, published in 1853. WILLIAM W. HALL. W. W. Hall has filled almost every office in the sixriety. He was on the editorial board of the "Maili Wreath" for many years, and through all the half century and more he has attended every meeting when possible, and in every way took an interest in its affairs and helped in its charities. At the last meeting of the society, the adjourned meeting, held at the home of Governor Frear, on April 30, I°lo, Mr. Hall was acting president. It will lx' a long time before the members cease to look around for his familiar face, or listen in vain for the voice now joining in the harmonies of heaven. MR. RUFUS LYMAN. Mr. Lyman's name appears as a member in that first report of 1853,-and though living in Hilo, and unable to attend many meetings, he loved the society and made eleven children members of it. Mr. Lyman was Ixirn June 23rd, 184:!, at Hilo. Having a good foundation for an education laid at the home of his parents, who were good teachers, be attended school at Punahou from 185ti to lXfii. In lXfrfi he married Miss Rebecca Brickwood, whose life was full of good works, and who died in 1906. A noble family of children rise up to call them blessed. Ten or eleven of these children attended Punahou College, and three have gone to West Point.

During many years of his middle life he carried on a dairy ranch at Waialua, on lands now covered by the Waialua plantation. Mr. Emerson returned in 1855. His loss of hearing was a handicap for many years, and the silence of the world and the loneliness of life turned his thoughts inward and made him peculiar at times, but the missionary spirit was in his veins and he was accustomed even in the later years of his feebleness, to gather the children of the street into his rooms for a Sunday school service.

Mr. Fuller was born in Koloa Nov. 18, 1851, and attended Punahou from 18(i6 to 1869. For a time he pursued his education in the United States, and returning, was for many years a trusted employe of the firm of Allen & Robinson. He had a faithful wife and a very interesting family of children. The long years of pain, of suffering and helplessness were hard for such a man to endure, and like a refining fire. "I think man's great capacity for pain Proves his immortal birthright. I am sure No merely human mind could bear the strain ( )f some tremendous sorrows we endure. his employ. When the end came his brother and one sister were at his side, and the impressive funeral service was held at the home of his sister, Mrs. Winne. The exquisite flowers, arranged by Mrs. James Taylor, the soft strains of music. "Thy Will Be Done," sung by Mr. Stanley Livingston to an accompaniment by Miss Jane Winne, his mother's paintings on the wall behind the casket, the sympathetic words and tones of the minister. Rev. Ebersole, and most of all the many inspiring passages from the Bible, such as "I know that my Redeemer liveth," all' tended to take away the sadness of death and bring heaven nearer. Mr. Taylor died August 21st, 1910. Our Young People HENRY P. JUDD Teacher Training Department. The most important position in connection with our religious life of today is that of Sunday school teacher. All factors in the Sunday school work are inuiortant; the superintendent should be a specialist; the other officers are all im- |x>rtant elements; the music, the social atmosphere and class-room equipment are necessary to a successful school, and these arc all means to an end. The great end of Sunday school work is to give a knowledge of God's Word, or, as some of our training class textbooks put it, "To lead to Christ, not to train up in Christ." The supreme work and the supreme factor for the accomplishment of this end is the teaching. Without teaching any school is a failure With gixxl teaching the problems of Sunday school work arc easily solved. Though many consider teaching a trivial task it is the greatest work that (Jod has ever given his people to perform. The commission of our Master was "Go teach." The commission of the Gospel is today identically the same. livery teacher is an assistant pastor, and ought to feel that his duty is to have pastoral care over those whom he teaches. There are certain elements which a teacher should possess. First of all, he should be an earnest Christian. He is the shep- herd of the flock, and must be able to interest the pupil, must know what to teach and how to teach it. Sixriety news, baseball talk and sports in general may be the right means to hold the attention of some obstreperous boy or giddy girl for a time, but this is a failure unless it is used as a means to a larger and more important end of interesting the pupil in religious and sacred things. The Bible is the greatest book in all the world, but no one can teach the Bible any more than he can teach any other book without a knowledge of its structure, the relationship of the various parts, and the purpose for which these parts were specifically given. A knowledge of the gradual development of Coil's Word to men is necessary, and while other and extraneous matters maydraw for a time, in the last analysis it takes the knowledge of the Bible to accomplish the results expected. The teacher must not only be devoted to his work and interested in it, but he must be able to interest. He must be interested in his pupils, whether they are men or women or boys or girls; interested in their welfare: interested in their home environment and every day conditions. No one .can have the necessary elements for teaching unless he understands three things. First. he must know the book which he is to teach ; second, he must know the object which he seeks, and lastly, he must know how to teach. Because of the importance of the subject, there should be in every school as far as possible, a teacher-training class Now is the time to organize such classeall over the Islands. The summer vacation is over and the public schools have recalled to their posts of duty many of our most faithful Sunday school teachers. The school year is beginning. Why Who hasn't heard of ESTEY ORGANS? YOU, I ERHAPS, did not know that we keep them here at the Board Book Rooms. �THE 18 should there not be a beginning of new things in the Sunday schools ? We should all help to arouse our schcxils to greater effort and stimulate the work of the teachers. This matter of teacher training has so often been mentioned in these columns that some one may be tired of reading about the same object continually. The editor of this jwge feels the importance of the subject so keenly, however, that he must keep the matter before his readers. What are you doing alxmt it ? Are you floing your part in training others in this necessary evil? For yourself, you can gain knowledge of the Bible from a careful study of the Book each day, together with the reading of many valuable works on the subject. Now that so much study has been given to the Bible by the most learned men. we have countless sources of help in the field of Biblical research. If you are a teacher in the Sundayschool, will you not try to train yourself in the knowledge of the Bible and do what you can in the training of others? In this way you may be of great assistance in the promoting of the Kingdom of Heaven. JS A Brief Catechism. Mention was made in the last issue of The Friend of the brief catechism prepared by the Rev. C. G. Bumham of Laliaina, Maui, and its virtues set forth among the "Wailuku Notes." It seems fitting to make further mention in this department of The Friend, because of its relation to the training of our young people, of this worthy little work and to commend the booklet to teachers in our Sunday schools. Instruction of this character is greatly needed in our schools, and we should do all we can to promote the knowledge of the Truth as it is in lesus. J» Home Influence. San Francisco, 1911. Craft Wares — YE ARTS & and the various departments seem to Ikalive to any new method that will make for progress. It is the wish of the Association that organized work in Hawaii may Ix,' more effective. If each school will do its part and each teacher and superintendent do his work faithfully, and each island association do what it can and the Territorial Association do all in its power, then organized work in Hawaii will be of real value anil the work will go forward steadily.

The foundation of religion is reverence —that recognition of the spiritual which surrounds us and awes us. This sense of reverence begins in the home. Is it not natural that the little child should look [Hand up to the su|x?rior ]xiwcr and knowledge his patents, under whose care he finds himself? At an early age we may sec signs of his reverence for the beautiful. What little child ever looketl at the stars at night or the glories of the sunrise or sunset without a feeling of sublimity? It is easy for him to reverence, love and trust the one who made these wonderful things, as well as all creatures, both great and small. The next great lesson for him to learn is obedience, and this lesson is learned at home. His future welfare demands that he learns to obey. If he learns to obey his parents, submit his will to theirs, it will not be so hard for him to submit to the will of God, but the latter is a hard lesson for him if he has not learned the former. The third lesson is duty to others, which also has its beginning in the home where the child should learn to be fair, to consider others. Teach him the Golden Rule. After he leaves his home if he has learned this lesson well he can easily extend to his larger circle of fellow men with whom he comes in contact. So a child should grow in reverence, obedience and duty to others, to the extent that the spirit of the home is sincerely Christian. a* Of The thirteenth September, 1910 FRIEND.
