Bishop Honda has the distinction of being the first, and thus far the only Japanese who has been consecrated to the office of bishop. In him the great test has been made, and we have heard ol no one who disputes his personal fitness for the office. In the political world as well as in the religious Bishop Honda is well known. Strong pressure was brought to bear upon him to represent his district in the Diet, when that body was first opened in 18't).

Green and white are the color effect on the outside; the inside is highly polished with exposed truss work to the very roof. The accoustics are perfect. The church is supplied with an organ and hymn books, the gifts of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, who attend church here every week. Mr. Cooke plays the organ, and keeps the congregation up to excellent time in the singing. Rev. Mr. Gulick preached the sermon of dedication. A printed service, which was prepared with the help of Mr. NaIcuina some two years ago, and published by Mr. Dodge, was used by the pastor and his congregation. Over $200 was raised by the convention for the church, and the small remaining debt is now entirely cleared off. The work of the Monthly Ministers' School of Maui showed good results in the presentation to the meeting of some excellent work in the Old Testament prophets by those who had been working together along other lines of study for the past few years. Under Mr. Judd's stimulating opening lecture at the class last month upon the Prophets, the suggestion was made that several of the men prepare and read papers at this Kaunakakai meeting. Excellent work of an unusually interesting character was presented by Mr. John Kalino and Key. George M. Kauaulalena, and some Knglish speaking Obedience to deserted by friends and relatives.

Professor Alexander's History informs us that one hundred years ago, or from 1809 to 1816, through the agency of the Russian governor of Alaska, Baranoff, and others, several Russian adventurers and traders visited these islands, and gained a slight foothold on the island of Kauai, but by the command of Kamehameha I. their enterprises were thwarted and they were expelled from these islands. In 1816 the famous explorer Kotzebue visited these islands and held friendly intercourse with Kamehameha. Since then for a hundred years the Russian people have scarcely touched Hawaii. Now in a wholly different form have the Russians come into our midst. A few of them are to be found at Pahoa in the ohia forests of Puna, working in the saw mill which is producing ohia ties for California railroads. Companies of them arc to be found on several of the sugar plantations. A scattered few have found employ in Honolulu; and there remains a small colony in the district of Iwilei in I lonolulu. A most interesting work for the children of the Iwilei settlement has been begun by Miss Isabel Namau, assisted by Miss Mabel Ahina, of the Kaumakapili church. These two ladies have gathered upwards of forty of the children of this suburb in a Sunday school. From 25 to 30 of these interesting Russian children, together with six or seven Hawaiian, and two or three Porto Rican children were in attendance at the Kaumakapili Sunday school review last Sabbath morning, led by the tact and loving supervision of these two Hawaiian maidens. The gospel light was brought to these shores ninety years ago. and now we find these Hawaiian Christian ladies bringing these gospel blessings to these children of Russia. God bless the faithful Sunday school teachers and give them the joy of seeing gospel light spreading among our jwlyglot people. O. H. G. Ji BOY SCOUTS. Colonel Bullard. of the 2'2nd U. S. Infantry, who has been conducting the instruction camp for the officers of the National Guard, gave an address on the Boy Scout movement in K. of P. Hall Tuesday night, Sept. 18th. A number of prominent local educators and people interested in boys heard him, and as a result are "boosting" the movement. About 70 boys are already enrolled. FOR FLOOD SUFFERERS IN JAPAN. Some contributions have come unsolicited to the Hawaiian Board for the flood sufferers in Japan. Naturally there are sonic who like to contribute in this way because of their friendship with missionaries in Japan. Especial interest is felt by some because in the very center of the flooded district lives Rev. Hilton Redley, who is well known and highly esteemed here both by Americans and Japanese, and through whose co-operation a new evangelist and wife are now on their way to take up work in Hawaii nei. Mr. Pedley's personal losses by reason of the flood were heavy, and the homes of many of his Japanese fellow workers and Christians were damaged or swept away. If others wish to aid the sufferers thus through the agency of the missionaries of the American Board, their contributions will be forwarded by Mr. Theodore Richards, treasurer of the Hawaiian Board. Box 489, Honolulu. Ji A NOBLE RECORD We feel sure that the readers of The Friend will find this report of the educational work carried on by Rev. Mr. Okumura most interesting: During the past fifteen years 251 children have been received into the Japanese Christian Boarding School for the purpose of English and Japanese education under my care of Christian training. ()f these students ?i~ were girls. Some of the children have remained with us more than ten years, while some have left in a few months. Our school has provided for mercantile life in Honolulu, two faithful banking clerks; also several clerks and workers who fill responsible places in stores and on plantations. Eight of our young men are receiving higher education on the mainland. We give especial thanks to God for His help and guidance in sending one of our earnest Christian workers to the field at F.wa, while another is sent to the Osaka Bible School. My son is taking a theological course at Vale College. Six more young men are preparing for Christian ministry. These are encouraging facts, and we feel sure our kind-hearted friends who have so generously assisted our work, from time to time, will join us in thanksgiving. The much-talked of Mid-Pacific Institute is a reality. We take pleasure in sending our boys to the Institute. We are grateful that the many hard problems are solved, and that our school con- October. 1910. tinucs tinder the auspices of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association as a preparatory to the Institute.

We trust the government may SM its way clear to give the largest measure of approval to the plans of Prin. Lyman by making it easy for the school to acquire the land in question for the proposed ex- periment station. Note.—Since this paragraph was in type, the above mentioned tract of land has been placed under the control of the Federal Experiment Station, who will establish on it a Farm Experiment Station under the direct management of Prin. Lyman. This arrangement is an eminently wise one, and we congratulate all parties concerned. J» Clinching a Good Thing. A pledge to give $5000 to the perma- endowment of llilo Boarding School has just been received by the trust-cs conditioned on the securing of $10,000 from other givers, thus making a prospective addition of $15,000 to the permanent funds of this well-known and successful school. There is no more worthy call before the giving public of Hawaii today than to clinch this generous gift by raising the necessary $10,(KM) to secure it. It should be an easy matter to accomplish this. The securing of the $15,000 thus hoped for would bring the permanent endowment of the school to within $1().0(X) of the $100.<XX) fund which would make the school under present conditions self-supporting. Will not some of the generous givers of the Territory take Up this matter at once, and make it possible, first of all, to secure the $5000 conditionally pledged, and then later to secure the final $10.()(K) to make the permanent endowment of $1(X),(MX) complete? nent Jl Working 7 mi-: FRIEND October. I'MO on Right Lines. The training at llilo Hoarding School is specially practical, and suited to the needs of the young men who are served by this school. Special training is provided in intelligent farming. Efforts are being made to secure a specially desirable tract of government land adjoining the school premises, which will be devoted to farm experiments under Mr. Clowes, a man well equipped by nature and educa- tion for this responsible task. There is no measurement of the value of this kind of training for many of the youth of Hawaii. They must get on to the land, in considerable numbers, or go to the wall. To know how to compel the land to give forth its riches is an education worth having. For the government Politics and Religion. They will mix. In fact, they mix a good deal in this country. Were it not for this fact, possibly politics would be worse than at present. In all likelihood religion helps polities more than politics helps religion. Certainly the deeper religious convictions have less sway where the atmosphere is surcharged with political excitement.

The Japanese was the inquisitive one, the iiaole furnished the requisite information and the Hawaiian dilated in detail on every feature of the marvelous light. The marvel grew in the eyes of the Japanese at every new development.

DAMON A MID-PACIFIC GENESIS WITH AN INTERNATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE In a recent issue of The Friend a somewhat detailed account of the developing work of the "Mid-Pacific Institute," in both its departments, was given. Hence, at the present time, we would only call attention to the fact that the work of "Mills School," the Boys' Department, has been definitely launched on the campus in Manoa Valley, when "Kawaiahao Seminary" has preceded it by some two (m September I,2th the doors of splendid new school hall opened in welcome to the noble company of young years. our which it was designed.

It will be of interest to our friends, we believe, to know that in the boarding department of Mills School there are now one hundred and forty-four (144) students, and in the day school forty (40) additional pupils, a total of one hundred and eighty-four students ( iX4). Of this number 87 are Chinese. 64 Japanese, 27 Koreans, 4 Hawaiians. 1 Marshal Islander. 1 Philippino. In our (iirls' Department, Kawaiahao Seminary, there are one hundred and six (106) pupils.

Principals and professors from a number of our local institutions joined in meeting the students at the festive board. The Chinese Consul and his secretaries were with us as honored guests. Later the company adjourned to the beautiful assembly ball, where a most stimulating and interesting hour was passed. "America" and "The Star Spangled Banner" were sung in full chorus, with rousing and inspiring effect. Addresses in the Cantonese and Mandarin dialects and in English followed in quick succession. As the names ot the different provinces of the empire were called, the students representing a particular province rose ami, as the list was made up we found that nine of the provinces of the great land of China had their representatives in our sea-girt territory. From Chili on the north to Ouangtung and Quangsi on the south, including many of the central provinces, bordering the great YangtsekiaiiLT river, they brought their greetings. One told us of his home in that mighty province, in the far west of China adjoining Thibet, a province with an area equal to that of France. Some had been students in different imperial institutions, while others came from St. John's College in Shanghai, from the Christian College of Canton, and other missionary schools. It was a wonderful and splendid roll-call, eloquent in its suggestions of the great work now going forward in China, and prophetic of that still greater work which is to be accomplished. These students have gained the privilege of continuing their studies on the mainland of the United States as a result of their success in passing recently certain competitive examinations in Peking. Their expenses are paid from the lioxer Indemnity Fund, the return of which to China by the government of the United States is one of the noblest and most Christian acts in the history of the onward growth of the human race. These young men, the flower and hope of modem China, form the largest band of students yet sent out by the Chinese government. They are by this time busily at work in some nine of our leading American universities. It is a pleasure for the Friend to present with this issue a picture of this truly historic company, with certain of their island friends, taken at the entrance portal of Mills School, of the Mid-Pacific Institute.

There seems to be a tendency toward older girls coming.

D •t Central Union Church. . Some who could not have the privilege of hearing the series of sermons delivered by Dr. White this summer at Central Union Church have expressed a wish that one of them might be printed in The Friend. We take pleasure, therefore, in presenting to our readers the following, which was the last of the series: Doctor White said: " 'No sign shall be given to it but the sign of the prophet Jonah.' The Pharisees asked for a sign, that is, they were after a shortcut to intellectual certainty. The passion for shortcuts, so characteristic of our age, and of all ages, is by no means always a reprehensible thing, as Jesus asserts it was in this particular case. Whether it is wholesome or vicious depends on the kind of shortcut a 111.111 is after. "A goodly fraction of the railway activity of recent years has gone into precisely this work of securing straighter and shorter tracks from place to place, the abolishing of curves, the avoidance of high grades, the tunneling of ridges and mountain ranges. The whole difference between failure and dividends frequently hinges on the discovery of a short cut that makes possible the avoidance of the curve over and the curve around. "I.cc had Grant at bay and foiled him repeatedly during that awful summer of 1H64, for the Simple reason that be bad possttsiou of the inside lines: in other words, controlled the short cuts. Lee could go straight: Grant had to go around. Every successful invention represents a short cut to efficiency: every tool furnishes a short cut to the working hand and arm: telegraph and telephone afford short cuts for speech; speech itself is the consummate short cut in getting ideas from man to man. The history of civilization might be written in terms of the short cut. All honor then to th: human endeavor that keeps up a rest less search for the short cut. "But there are short cuts and short —those that merit only praise, those on the other hand that spell disgrace; those on the one hand that represent a large investment of energy and treasure, those on the other that express sheer laziness and ineritia and the passion to get something for nothing. It is needles to say that Jesus accuses the Pharisees, in their search for a sign, of being guilty of this latter thing. "For wjiat has happened? A wonderful man has appeared that has set the nation agog. The crowd is talking about him. The mob is thronging him. I le said striking things. Never man spake like this man. He spoke with an insight and authority never detected in the scribe. He did marvelous things., Health exhaled from his touch like fragrance from an apple orchard in full bloom. He was unusual from every point of view. His personality, his treachery, his character, his deeds, all presented a puzzle that baffled the cleverest. Who was he? What might he be? What they should do is honestly to test him. study him, observe him, examine his claims; in a word, think their problem through. But that takes time, takes brains, takes a costly expenditure of energy. They balk at that. They are busy men, they will have the question settled out of hand. 'Show us a sign,' they demand. In other words. 'Do someWe thing startling, extraordinary. haven't time to waste over you. If you want us to take you at your own rating, compel us to l>elieve by some feat of magic power.' You see what that means, the demand for satisfaction without being willing to pay the cost. They wanted the quarry without the fatigue of the hunt. They asked that the truth be put in their open palms done up in a neat parcel, properly labeled and accredited, without so much effort on their part as the turn of a hand. They wanted, in a word, something for nothing. cuts, October, 1910. "The moment you get at the true inwardness of the situation, you see what a common, prevalent thing it is with which we are dealing, lt has a score of disguises, but is the same spirit of mischief and evil under every disguise. Why do people wear amulets and repeal charms? Simply because they have juggled themselves into believing that they can cheat the laws of nature and purchase personal safety in some cheap way that requires no personal watchfulness and effort. I low explain the vogue of the fortune-teller and the medium? Why. they stand in popular thought for clever shortcuts to bidder* information, to fortune and success. What is the secret of the sway of popular superstitions concerning numbers and days, lucky and unlucky, and the like? Simply, that they are supposed to represent occult influences beyond the control of the will, which, if you can manage to avoid their CV I eye and curry favor with them, will work for you instead of against you, and guarantee immunity from danger and a sure road to success, and leave you care free into the bargain. "These, however, only begin the enumeration. Men are after the short cut in health. A familiar advertisement pictures a gormand with a broad smile on his face seated behind a plethoric turkey sprinkling it with pep-salt, some such legend as this underneath: 'He has no fear of a hearty meal." The advertisement is a symptom; it answers to a widespread demand, the demand for some device by which a man may eat what and all he pleases, abuse his digestion, violate every law of health, throw caution to the winds, and be immune from the consequences. Many a man, and woman, too, has use for the doctor only as a sort of insurance to cover the risks of reckless indulgence and vicious habit. "Men want the short cut in business, and so long as they want it with such unanimity there will be no lack of lambs to be fleeced by the bucket shop and devoured by the larger carnivora of the board of trade. Each new day will furnish a fresh quota of gullible victims for the fake mine, oil well and real estate promoter; and all the king's horses and all the king's men will not be'able to hold back the crowds that throng the gambling halls and j)ore over the colored dope sheet of the yellow press.

Multitudes have found a haven of mental rest in the Roman Church; for �THE FRIEND October, I'MO. the church has said with siren voice, 'Trust your minds and consciences with me, and I will hold them in safe keeping. Leave your doubts with me for solution. I will think for you. prescribe for you, si live problems for you, guarantee the fufor you.' "Storm-tossed and perplexed spirits through the centuries have yielded in vast numbers to the fascinating spell of a great institution that saves them the stern necessity of hard thinking and perplexing discrimination, and stands ready at any moment to speak the final word. Its power will continue so long as men are caught by the lure of the elusive shortcut to spiritual certainty. ture "Men want the short cut in character Most men. it is safe to say all men, would like to be better than they are. They would rather be good than bad. They would be good if it weren't too inconvenient and costly. If only they could take goodness in capsule or tabloid form at night and wake up the next morning transformed in tastes, purposes and enthusiasms—if they could but take their old natures to the tailor or cobbler, and. Tike clothes or shoes, have them mended while you wait—if only they might make a lucky find of a remnant character on the bargain counter, to be purchased for a song—you could have heaven on earth tomorrow. I believe with all my heart in a genuine and passionate evangelism, lint if popular evangelism is suffering any disrepute, it arises from the fact that it offers to the unthinking crowd the one thing it dearly loves, viz., an easy, too easy, shortcut into the kingdom of heaven. Thousands repudiate the Christian life today because they look upon themselves as the victims of misplaced confidence. For were they not assured that, given but the lifting of a band, a word of confession, a breath of prayer in a moment of contagious excitement, and. presto! old things would pass away and all things would become new; whereas, they found themselves facing the old devil the next day, with a fiercer fight on than before? The hunger for short cuts in religion is ineradicable; men are bound to have something in character for nothing. And in the reaction of disillusionment and disappointment that inevitably follows the abortive attempt they renounce the whole quest with a curse, to the infinite loss of the Master and their own. " 'An evil and adulterous generation seeketb after a sign,' replied Jesus to the demand of the crowd, 'and there shall no sign be given it but the sign of Jonah the prophet: for even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of Man be to this generation.' What hapand destiny. Simply this: Jonah the prophet Nineveh and warned the people of impending calamity. The Ninevites saw the point. They did not parley, or palaver, or hedge, or shuffle or evade. Without more ado they did what all people in the possession of their senses should do—they set about averting the calamity. They knew where the shoe pinched. They made use of eye and ear and brain and conscience and common They repented, reformed their sense. lives, paid the price in changed characters, cleaned house morally—and the threatening clouds cleared away. 11 are no others. "Men want intellectual certainty. They ask for a sign, a voice out of the sky, a message written on the heavens, an authoritative verdict from a papal chair. And they can have no sign but that of the prophet Jonah. Oh, you cannot have something for nothing. You must pay the price of honest search, eager striving, genuine struggle, determined thinking. You have reason. Do not despise it; use it; it is from God and leads to God. You have conscience: cultivate it. You have the Bible; study and interpret it. You have prayer: revel in it.

The advertising of the Association this fall is the most systematic system of getting men interested in the organization that has yet been made. First a pamphlet called "Where to Invest Your Surplus: A Suggestion to Young Men," was issued. This described the Association in action, showing the prospective member just bow it would be to belong to the Association, the things he could do, and the men he would meet. This was followed by a letter to a selected list of business men urging the importance of exercise and describing our facilities for regular and special gymnasium work. To rouse the ambition of young men and get them interested in the educational work, a short illustrated pamphlet called "Some Pointers on Getting There" was issued. There were five of these pointers, of which we reproduce the first: POINTER NO. 1. of work in our night school. < )ver a hundred attractive window cards were distributed. An exhibit of former students' work was placed in the window of Day & Co. An attractive sign in front of the building tells the courses we offer, and a similar one shows what classes are held in the gymnasium. With What Re.ult ? We are going to break all records in membership and educational enrollment and men using the gymnasium. We now feel sure of 800 members, and 250 in the night school, How we need our new building! That 250 might as well be 400. We could get the men if we could accommodate them. The only question now is one of finding room for those who apply.

The solution of this problem is the work of the young Men's Christian Association and the churches. We put the Association first because of its more ready access to the young men. and its all-week adaptability to their needs. To y;et hold of these men is the chief ambition of the religious work committee. To this end it has organized a "Watchman's Band," a group of young men who will keep their eyes open for strangers coining to town, and also be on the watch for young men who appear to be going wrong. The group will meet one night a week for Bible study ami conference under the leadership of a business man who has had very successful experience in work for young men, leading them to right living and church activity.

Last issue we published a quotation from a Chicago secretary on the field of the Young Men's Christian Association. Let us now offer the following quotation from Prof. Theo. C. Scares of Chicago I'Diversity on the function of the Association. "If anyone ever had the notion, from a study of the Young Men's Christian Association, that a gymnasium or a reading room or a cafe were provided in order sooner or later to get a man into a prayer meeting, he failed entirely to grasp the Association idea. The objective is not the prayer meeting but the man. The man is to be found through every avenue of interest, and his full manhood is to be developed in relating his complex self to his task in the world in a real consecration to human advancement. The function of the Association, then, is not to get men converted, the various privileges being the baits that are used to catch the fish. Nor is it to provide a respectable young men's club, a little religion tacked on to justify the Christian name. This great brotherhood, nearly a million strong all over the world, means an ideal of manhood that refuses to be satisfied while any single son of the race is stunted, cramped, limited, prevented from coming to his best. It means an ideal "f society in which pure blooded, 13 THE FRIEND. October, I 1) 10. Notes From the Field FRANK S. SCUDDER Echoes from the Edinburgh World Conference. The World Missionary Conference at Edinburgh has sounded a clarion note to all Christians to enter the whole world held—-to take a new grip all together to win the world to Christ This conference has set a new standard for missions. It came together, not so much for the purpose of stirring the masses on the subject of missions, but to make a scientific investigation of the present condition of the field as a whole, and one that would serve as a basis for more thoroughgoing work in the future. When we understand that 1200 delegates and 2500 visitors assembled, every one of whom had devoted years of study to the problem, and many of whom bad spent years of patient, self-sacrificing devotion to the work under consideration, we can imagine what must have been the intensity of interest experienced by those who attended. The distinguishing characteristic of this conference was that it was a body of exftrts, chosen from among all professtrong manhood, is contributing its best sions, and from all nations to study facts in loyal devotion.

All discussions were carried on in committee of the whole, of which John R. Mott was chairman. Mr. Mott with his customary tact enforced the rule upon all alike, regardless of their position or fame —a circumstance which caused not a little amusement. The consequence was a series of pithy speeches, full of fire and wit and epigrammatic wisdom, such as may rarely be heard in any assembly. In order to avoid waste of time over parliamentary procedure all resolutions were excluded, excepting one only, which provided for the formation of a Continuation Committee, in order that the forces set in motion by the conference might be made effective for broader cooperation and further investigation. Self Criticism. Another epoch-making feature of the conference was the disposition to face without flinching every defect that could be pointed out in the wide mission enterprise. There was little self-glorification ; en the contrary, often the warmest api lause was elicited by s|>eakers who fearlessly exposed the weaknesses of the present work and methods. The church will be brought face to face with the wicked waste of duplicated effort when it hears the emphatic statement that "by reasonable cooperation among the churches the efficiency of the present working force on the foreign mission field would be doubled straightway." There was no disposition to apologize for short-sighted methods or to cover up disagreeable facts. Facts were welcomed at whatever cost to pride or personal feelings. �14 THE FRIEND.

The next ten years will in all probability constitute a turning-point In human history, and may be of more critical importance In determining the spiritual evolution of mankind than many centuries of ordinary experience. If those years are wasted, havoc may be wrought that centuries are not able to repair. On the other hand, if they are rightly used, they may be among the most glorious in Christian history. We have, therefore, devoted much time to a close scrutiny of the ways In which we may best utilize the existing forces of missionary enterprise by unifying and consolid- of the ruins of the old. It Is not only of the individual or the congregation that this new spirit is demanded.

The time will soon be here when no one living can remember this pioneer missionary of this island. Sunday evening there was a concert which netted quite a sum for the expenses of the convention and the church building fund. Monday morning the Association proceeded to the business on the program. The Rev. I. D. laea made a few introductory remarks of welcome and explained about the new church building, who made the building possible, and what the future offered in possibilities for the church work at Kaunakakai. The usual routine business then occupied the Association until 11a. m., when the "School for Ministers" began its work. There were three papers on the Prophets of Israel and Judah, the first by Mr. John Kalirto of Kahului on "Amos," the second by Rev. R. B. Dodge of Wailuku on "Isaiah," and the third by Rev. C. G.

Although addressed specially to Central Union Church, the following word from Dr. White will be of interest to many of our readers: At Sea, September 5, 1910. Central Union News A. A. EBERSOLE Bible Study at the Mid-Week Service. During September and October the mid-week services are being devoted to a systematic study of "The Sermon on the Mount." It is proving a very pleasant and profitable variation from the regular prayer meeting. The following outline, based on Prof. Votaw's treatise on the Sermon is being followed: "THE IDEAL LIFE" To Central Union Church—Greeting: May I have a little space in the weekly calendar to speak a message of gratitude, from Mrs. White and myself, for the cordial welcome and the choice hospitality extended to us by the good people of Central Union Church ? Never, we feel confident, has a brief term of service been made more of a privilege and delight by the rare courtesy and generous appreciation of those to whom it has been extended. The whole experience has for us been uniquely tropical,—the land, the scenery, the climate, the friendships. The retrospect holds few sensations but those of satisfaction and joy. To the absent pastor, whose generous thought made this period of service possible, to the worthy associate pastor—a true ministerial great-heart, to the royal friends, old and new, who have made the days of-our Honolulu visit gleam like the wake of a ship sailing through a phosphorescent -sea, Mrs. White and I send our affectionate Aloha.

My father has written The Friend of our visit in Palestine at Christmas tide, but we have been asked to write of our journey home. In Egypt. We left Jaffa New Year's Day for Cairo, a city of two types, one which we slighted with broad streets and modern buildings, the other crowded with strange peoples, men with one eye, men and boys in fezzes, women with brass spools between the eyes and black or white cloths hiding all of the face below, light carts without sides holding seven or eight women and one man, apparently a husband and his wives, all using heads rather than hands for carrying, a sight we became used to. In Cairo l saw a woman with a chicken coop on her head holding live, noisy chickens, and in Calcutta four men carrying a large bureau, each man under a corner. There was not as much English language as we expected. As in India the street car conductors talk no English. A restaurant we entered had two menu cards, one Arabic and one French. When we ordered from the French the waiter went out the door and down street to get our order translated. When this happened twice, the viands ordered not being in stock, we tried the Arabic and discovered that Arabic is written backward, for we got fruit when we expected meat. For church services we now depended on missionaries. In Cairo we went to the United Presbyterian Mission. Its Sunday school room was divided in two �by a close board fence, on one side the boys with their red fezzes, on the other the girls. They could alike see the superintendent and hear but not see each other. There were four Christian Endeavorer societies in this church, one attended mostly by white folks, one for Egyptian young men attended principally by those who wear the fez, one for boys and one for girls. We saw many familiar trees and plants. In the garden a tree we took to be a ponciana regia (not in bloom) was labelled "Gold mohr tree of Madagascar," and a sacred banyan such as is in our Honolulu yard was called a "pipul" tree. There were fine monkey jwd avenues, and we saw sugar cane at Heliopolis. In India. From Egypt we went on a French liner to Bombay. A fellow passenger was a Hindu in the government service on his way home from England, where he had been studying for advancement. At Bombay ammunition was discovered in a false bottom in his trunk, and a recipe for making bombs hidden in his shirt and he went to jail. In Calcutta I dropped into a Baptist missionary conference and saw Rev. Wm. Cary, grandson of the pioneer missionary. In Bombay at the American Congregational Mission we attended a Christian Endeavor celebration of the 25th anniversary of the society in that church, and afterwards went to a school C. E. meeting where the members were eager for us to tell of Hawaiian C. E. societies and how Hawaiians looked, what they liked to eat, etc, They played some Indian instruments for us. A boy sat with a drum between his knees and another on a chair before him and played the low notes on one and high notes on another with his fingers. At the anniversary flower leis full of glittering spangles were put around the necks of those who had started the C. E. 25 years before. But of occasional Christian meetings and seeing a few white people India seemed a land of heathenism. The prevailing color tone was a dingy white. The Taj Mahal is not a typical building. The ordinary place of worship is a dingy mosque, a dirty Hindu temple or a Jain In one glittering with colored glass. Ahmedabad we saw wedding processions of child brides and grooms. One little boy rode a toy horse. He was too small for a real one, though old enough to be married. In an empty palace at Amber I went into the former zenana and in a little room decorated with tiny mirrors I could see hundreds of reflections of myself. Both in jewelry and in looking in the glass the Indian women surpass 17 THE FRIEND.

J* In the Hotter Tropics. We took the Ss. Kut Sang for Singapore with party of Methodist missionaries bound home. One was insane, perhaps from having the sun shine on the back of her head through the school room window. The two ladies taking her home to lowa took turns watching her night and day for fear she would jump overboard. Another had been wakened three days before leaving on her furlough by being beaten violently with a stick by a Hindu, who escaped unidentified when her screams had brought help. Missionaries still have hardships and dangers. The wooded valleys back of the town of Penang made us think of Hawaii, but the town is Chinese like Singapore, where we found, however, a long line of Malay young gentlemen in calico dresses sitting on a fence watching a ball game played by other young men in dresses. At Bangkok in the mission school we found cousins and a sister of a Kawaiahao teacher. Bangkok wears less clothes than India but is more cheerful. The Buddhist priests with cropped heads and bright yellow dresses brighten the crowds. The white elephants were less white than I expected though my expectations were low. A greater surprise was to find a statue of St. Paul in front of a Buddhist temple. The jewels of the Taj Mahal are mostly agates but in a modern Buddhist wat in Bangkok we found furniture inlaid with precious stones. In China. In Canton Rev. Jas. Henry, once of Mills Institute, was our host and guide through the busiest city of the world in my experience. The narrow streets are laid out at right angles so there is not the danger of losing one's way that there is in many an American city. One day we two walked about Canton alone and easily found our way out, by an entirely different route than that we had taken going in. From Hongkong we tried a British steamer to Shanghai, a Japanese one up about the steamer in little boats and lifted baskets on the ends of long bamboos to us for alms. We waked in Peking on Easter day to find the trees covered with snow. An immense city with immense walls, but quiet compared with Canton. Our most exciting experience was a wild jinricksha ride on arrival, our Chinamen horses racing at full speed in a street crowded with moving rickshas, woolly camels, twowheeled carts shaped like prairie schooners and men on horseback. We stopped with Rev. W. A. P. Martin and met many other survivors of the Peking siege. 1 took a walk alone one day on the north wall and was entertained with a cup of tea by a Chinese sentry I found at the N. E. corner. Personally we experienced no race or religious prejudice anywhere. Turks, Arabs, Egyptians, Hindoos, Siamese, Chinese and Japanese all were cordial to us. js And the Nearer East. From Peking we took a trip to Mukden on a railway line that travels only by day and rests at night. The first night it dropped us at a little village called Shan Hai Kwan at the great Chinese wall, which we climbed and inspected before sunset. We were the only white men in town. There were two hotels, a dirty looking Chinese one kept in foreign style, and a Japanese. We chose the Japanese, took off our shoes, and had our first experience of a genuine Japanese hotel. In Seoul Rev. R. O. Reiner, formerly of Mills Institute, met us. We passed the Japanese rickshas at the station and walked half a block to the Korean ones, who must give the Japanese rickshas first chance at arriving tourists, and drove to his house. We got glimpses here of the wonderful revival going on through the country. On the steamer from Korea to Japan I found a Japanese photographer of Seoul bound to a photo convention, who had heard of Hawaii and could talk English. "Honolulu is Eden in waters. So says all men," he said. Japan was a delight, but this account is now too long. In Kyoto we saw Rev. Sidney L. Gulick and family, and climbed Mount Hiei with a party of young folks led by him. In hunting up his house the first evening we had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Joseph Neesima in a house we entered to inquire our way. �18 THE FRIEND, We have been on seventeen steamers, British, French, Russian, Austrian, German, Chinese and Japanese, but no American ones. We tried camels, donkeys and elephants; jinrickshas pulled by Chinese, Siamese, Koreans and Japanese. I tried a chair in Canton and an ekka in Benares, but my father refused. The ekka is a two-wheeled cart without springs, seats or sides but an awning to keep off the sun.

(Continued/tornpage ij) prepared and gave in concise form the messages of these great prophets of national righteousness. Adjournment was made soon after noon, to accept the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke to a luau at their home in honor of the first anniversary of the birth of their son. G. P. Cooke, Jr. Many of the Maui delegates had never seen that part of Molokai before, and it was a treat for them to ride up in the ranch wagons and "view the landscape o'er." The luau was a great success and everyone seemed pleased and happy over the afternoon's festivities. In the evening the Sunday School Association began its sessions and was able by expeditious work to finish all of the reports that evening Tuesday morning the work of the Association was continued, and the first item on the program was the School for Ministers. The discussion of some of the representative prophets was resumed. Several of those to whom work had been assigned were unable to be present, but the Rev. (i. M. Kauaulalcna of Ulupalakua gave a most interesting treatment of the prophet Jeremiah, his life and work. It was felt by the delegates that the work in the prophets was very instructive and helpful, and it is hoped that similar work may be carried on at subsequent meetings of the Association. The remainder of the morning was spent in conducting the routine business of the Association. The work was put through in a splendid spirit and with expedition. The labors of the C. E. and the S. S. Association were completed in the Hand Craft Wares |YE ARTS & afternoon, and thus a record was made for speediness in the meetings, a marked contrast to the meetings of a few years ago, which usually lasted more than a week. It is likely that this precedent of three days' meetings will be followed on Maui, and thus she will become like ()ahu, Kauai and I lawaii in the matter of brevity in her Association gatherings. ()n Tuesday evening there was aC. E. consecration meeting for the new island officers. This meeting was in charge of Mr. P. N. Kahokuoluna of Paia, the president of the island C. E. Rev. (). H. Gulick gave an interesting address in the Hawaiian language, packed full of good advice to Christian Endeavorcrs. After this there was a farewell meeting. It was the plan of the chairman to hear from representatives of the various districts of the county. Mr. D. W. Napihaa of Keanae, was called on to respond for East Maui. In the midst of his speech word came into the church that the "Mikahala" was sighted. Speechmaking after that had little attractions for the multitude, and there were no more words of appreciation in the form of a speech from the visitors, although they had opportunities later on to show their gratitude for the hospitality of the Kaunakakai people. These hosts formed two lines in the main aisle of the church and the Maui delegates marched through the lines shaking hands with the Molokai people and expressing their alohas to them. In a short time the visitors made their way to the wharf via the mule tramway, and climbed aboard the "Mikahala." An inter-island trip, be it ever so short, is always interesting as a means of studying human character, and the trip over to Maui that night was no exception. Every bunk was occupied and sleeping room on deck was at a premium. But sleep was out of the question for many. The sound of the waves, the sweet I lawaiian songs sung by some of the delegates, the lovely moonlight, all tended to keep one awake. Pukoo was reached while it was still dark, and the rising sun found us almost across the channel at I-ahaina, the beautiful ex-capital of the group. Here, at "Main Ulu o 1.e1c," the various ministers and delegates separated to return to their several homes, having had the delightful and inspiring experience of the Kaunakakai meeting to nerve them on to greater service in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Prom this address we quote the following sentences: "To lead in the cause of peace no one of the great nations is so well circumstanced as the United States of America se|>arated and distant from other nations, and thus in the least danger of attack, with a continental |>opulation of eighty millions and over, with resources uncqualed by those of any other nation, with the most cosmopolitan population, a population gathered from all races, and hence linked to all by home ties of affection, with the freest government, the widest popular knowledge, the most loyal in its devotion to the Christ of Galilee, and therefore with an ear open to the music of the song of the angels of Bethlehem, and thus, may we not truly say, indicated as the fitting leader in the great cause of peace. "If we fail, the cause of peace will not fail. We shall simply stand in history as the nation which lost the great opportunity." A memorial edition of this address is being published .and may be secured at 5e per Copy. The American Peace Society, N.
