R. Calling Names. It is easier to call a man a liar than it is to inject into his system the corrective serum of sound principles. Hut it does no good to call a man a liar. It does not add to his comfort to be so denominated, and it is noticeable that it always makes a man mad to call another man a liar. And a man mad is a man who has missed his mark. The English language is certainly extensive enough and fertile enough to make it possible for men who disagree to be at least courteous to one another. We believe that the trend of things is distinctly away from personalities, ond toward the courteous discussion of principles. It is probable that the demagogue in politics will continue to resort to personalities rather than to principles; so also the anonymous contributor to the drily press. These two species repre- No. 11 sent cases of arrested development. The rest of the world has moved on to beter tilings. And how much saner it is! And how much more that is worth while And how much better it is gets (lone! Calling names is ]xx>r business. It helps no cause to resort to such tactics. If a cause is a bad one the calling of names will not cloak it with respectability and if a cause is a good one its advocates cannot possibly promote it by calling names.

That is the old Hawaii with its heiaus and idols and nudities. On all other matters these people seem to be fairly intelligent. They count themselves also intelligent as to I lawaii; for have they not read Cook's Travels, and seen the idol at Andover Seminary, and heard the yarns of old skippers in New London's famous "l'ocastle," and owned a share in the first "Morning Star"? It would almost seem as though the early impressions of these people were so persistent that the only hope of their ever gainnig a true vision of the Hawaii of today would be through a cranial operation whereby the musty pigeon-holes of memory would be*cleansed for good. However, less harsh methods may well be tried first. The problem is. How can intelligent people in the East be made to realize that there is a New Hawaii? We take it for granted that everyone in Hawaii recognizes the value of having this Territory thoroughly well advertised for what it really is. The Promotion Committee have done laudable and fruitful services in this direction. It would be in line with their policy to avail ourselves of every additional opportunity to correct misapprehensions as to Hawaii, and to impress our friends on the mainland with the facts as they are among us today in social and industrial lines. Such an opportunity offers in the great missionary exhibit called "The World in Boston, which is to be held in April and May, 1911. Hawaii has been assigned space in the Main Exhibit Hall, and has also been given all the room desired in the Main Auditorium. - Vol. LXVIII �TUT.

'The visit of the Japanese training squadron under the command of Admiral Yashiro has given the citizens of Hawaii another opportunity to strengthen the bonds of friendship between these two nations that fringe the ocean in whose center we are situated. Nations like inindividuals, have an inborn tendency to speak kindly of each other when they come face to face, and these kindlf expressions are of great value in alleviating such little irritations as arise from'time to time, and in cementing more firmly the ties of international friendship. There is probably no nation on the face of the earth which so deeply appreciates national friendship, and from the heart SO assiduously cultivates the spirit and the expression of it as Japan does. Her people everywhere show an intense sentimental and chivalrk desire to win the world's friendship and to be worthy of it. The same religious fervor that breathes in her patriotism yearns to express itself in her endeavors to cultivate a real friendship with the world nations. The courtesies extended to the foreigner on public occasions in Japan would be enough to turn his head if he did not real ize that this courtesy proceeds largely from the respect which the Japanese people have for the country of which he is a citizen.

K mss ignorance or the most wil- ful misrepresentation, attempt to persuade the peopk of the I'nitcd States that Japan is spoiling for a war with America, and the most disheartening comment upon the good sense of our people is the fact that so large a portion of them would rather tie up to such firebrands than to believe in the published statements of the two governments themselves. It is constantly reiterated by trouble breeders that Japan has aggressive designs towards the Philippines, Why, then, did she not seize her unparalleled opportunity when the Filipino emissaries came to Japan and tried to get the Japanese to join them in their resistance of the United States? That Japan would like to own the Philippines may naturally be inferred, hut we venture the assertion that she will never want them at the cost of a war with the United States, imr even covet them at the cost of damaging the much prized "historic friendship" between the two countries. The other great bugaboo of the international scarecrows is that Japan has 7(),(XX) of her subjects "armed to the teeth" domiciled in Hawaii," and is awaiting the psychological moment for the seizure of these islands. 'This Statement is true in all particulars excepting that the arms of the Japanese in these islands terminate at the shoulder blade instead of at the teeth; and, that they are domiciled here at the express desire of the great plantation interests, and have by their "arms" contributed mole labor than any other nationality in the production of the vast wealth of these islands; and, that Japan is not contemplating the seizure <ff these islands; and has publicly so declared herself.

Witness the notes exchanged between Japan and the United States, November 30, l'K)ri„ in which Ambassador Takahira outlined the common aim, policy and intention agreed upon between the United States and Japan, and by the authorization of the lni|>erial (iovernment, presented it to Secretary Root for confirmation. In this note, which was confirmed the same day by Secretary Root, the two Governments express it as their policy mutually to encourage their commercial interests in the Pacific ocean, to defend the principle of equal opportunity in China, and "reciprocally to respect the territorial possessions belonging to each other." It would seem worth while also to listen to the testimony of Americans who live among the Japanese, having learned their language, adapted themselves to �THE FRIEND 6 . their customs and mingled with them socially for years, attending their public functions and visiting them in their schools and homes. As they walk through the streets or ride in the cars, one would think they would have unusual Opportunity to catch the people off their guard and to hear things which, being uttered in Japanese, the foreigner is not supposed to understand. Such is the unique position of the missionary in Japan for learning the real sentiments of the people, and yet. three years ago. when the Californian situation was irritating in the extreme to the sensitive Japanese, and all kinds of wild rumors were abroad in the United States, a paper was prepared and signed by practically the whole body of American missionaries in Japan in which the following statement was made "We, the undersigned, wish to bear testimony to the sobriety, sense of international justice, and freedom from aggrcssk't designs exhibited by the majority of the Japanese people, and to their faith in the traditional justice and equity of the United States, and our belief that the alleged 'belligerent attitude of the Japanese' does not represent the real sentiment of the people." forms, the system of education and business methods of the West, and as I'rofessor Ladd has said. "The citizen of the United States may feel more at home in Japan than in certain parts of Europe itself." But, supposing them to be assimilable, would not their intense patriotism and devotion to the Ettiperor, in case of war, lead them to fight for Japan rather than America?—(parenthetically we would ask. how is it in case of our British American or German American citizens? And again, could we expect good American citizenship in a man who had not spirit enough to love his mother country?) —on the contrary, we consider the very presence of a large number of Japanese in the islands as an additional safeguard to peace. Even selfish considerations would incline the Japanese here to bring all their influence to bear against the breaking out of a war between the two countries, for it could mean nothing short of ruin to them, and added to this would be the reluctance to take up arms against a country which from the beginning has been Japan's best friend, and. as they say, her "teacher." The Local Problem. Here then lies Hawaii's opportunity; deepen the bond of friendship with the Japanese by that respectful consideration for them to which they as a people are worthily entitled: by the avoidance of that suspicious attitude which some hold toward them as (Irientals, an attitude : fear that is entertained by thoughtful people in regard to the great preponderance of Japanese in the island population is that within a generation there will be a citizen-born Japanese population of such magnitude as to throw the balance of political power into the hands of the Japanese, who could then do with the islands what they please. Should the situation thus contemplated really begin to look serious, we believe that in the intervening years the United States, having full opportunity to observe the trend of things, would prove easily competent to deal with if. but we really do not share the fear thus expressed. For in the first place, we believe that the Japanese are an assimilable people. The dreadful language barrier once broken down, as is being accomplished by our public schools, they show themselves adaptable to our ways of life and government. Some writers would lead us to believe that the ()rient and the Occident are so radically different as to make mutual understanding impossible. We emphatically dissent from this view; and further, would recall the fact that the Japanese are so essentially occidental that immeidately on emerging from their 250 years of seclusion, they cast in their lot With America and Europe, and since that time their assimilation of Occidental civilization has been too wonderfully manifest to require comment. They have adopted and adapted the constitutional The policy and legal .. November, I'MO, pros and cons of the questions are freely and daily discussed—a university in which our whole population is at school, while the government officials, plantation managers, business and professional men are investigating, experimenting and teaching, and forming altogether a distinguished corps of professors who are specialists in this branch of social science. With her peculiarly favorable geographical location, and her large Japanese population, Hawaii has an opportunity enjoyed by no other community for the exchange of courtesies that will strengthen the bonds of international friendship, and she has used that opportunity well. If now, by practical demonstration through education, she can show on a large scale what has already been demonstrated in a wide circle of smaller communities in the world, that the ()riental and the (Accidental are not irreconcilably different, but are brothers with like interests, and each incomplete without the other, she will have performed a service to the world which will give her a unique place in history.

Hawaii's Opportunity. to which could not operate otherwise than to delay the process of assimilation; and by proclaiming to the world that though we are in the middle of the Pacific and nearest target for Japan, we dwell in tranquality and in full confidence in the mutual expressions of friendship exchanged by the United States and Japan. Hawaii can render no more distinguished service to the cause of peace than by believing in peace. Mutual misunderstanding is the cause of more international friction and war than is brought about by clashing interests, for diplomacy can manage the latter, while the former stirs up race prejudice and Chauvinism till it becomes as ungovernable as the fanaticism of "holy war." "As in water face answereth to face, so the heart of man to man." A community like this, whose own selfish interests are deeply involved in the right solution of race issues is, for its own sake, compelled to give the most exhaustive study to such questions. In this way Providence uses even the selfishness of men to help forward the cause of peace and good will among men. Race issues are constantly with us, and Hawaii has thus become a forum in which the LETTER FROM GUAM.

This arch was primarily a mcmoriial to Rev. Mr. Emerson, the first pastor of the Waialua Church. The funds for its erection were subscribed largely by descendants of missionary families who thus sought to show their appreciation of the work of Father and Mother Emerson. The arch like that at Kailua is built entirely of field lava, and is Moorish in structure. It is set in from the street and presents an attractive and hospitable welcome to the passer-by. Sometime, it is to be hoped, suitable bronze tablets will be embedded in the pillars from which the arch springs commemorating not only the Emersons but also the Gulicks ami the Wilcoxes, who were also missionaries at Waialua later and for shorter periods. Mr. Emerson was missionary pastor for nearly thirtyfive years. In the cemetery adjoining the church yard a large boulder has been placed at Mr. Emerson's grave, and on it is a bronze tablet designed by St. (>ne cent meeting of the Oahu Association at Waialua was (iaudens.

Some people really need a course in a religious kindergarten, where they may learn the handiwork of the Great Artist in the beauties of color and form. There is certainly great satisfaction in watching the attempts of awakened souls to make the premises of God's house attractive and inviting. If they do no more than to clear away ancient debris and give stone walls some setting-up exercises, they are pioneers of a better future. If they go further and try their hand at some primitive landscape gardening, they are prophets of a new era. If they overcome natural obstacles ami make a croton or a hibiscus grow where before a kikauia could not have survived, they are apostles of the millenium which shall usher in new heavens and a new earth, especially the latter. There is certainly one man at Waialua whose soul has caught a vision of what a church yard should be. We have seen him at his work, and the fruits of his efforts are beginning to make themselves seen. Would that every church might have one such man or woman, —one who can pray, and plant as well to tlu' glory of God. LEADERSHIP IN COMMUNITY LIFE By Charles F. Dole, D. D. The character of any community is generally what a few of its leading people make it. The trouble with Sodom was that there could not be found in it a dozen men who possessed integrity. Ten men of the right sort could have changed the city and made it fit to live in. The glory of the little city of Athens in its glorious period was centered in a small group of men, statesmen, poets, thinkers, never so many as a hundred I suppose at any one time, who had character enough to set every one else to thinking and acting on their lines. You will often see a strange difference of quality between one class and another class of the same size in a school. You will trace the difference to a few, perhaps not more than two or three, who in one case are good and forceful leaders in the direction of every wholesome and honorable thing, or in the other case are shifty and irresponsible and carry the whole class clown with them. We know just such curious difference between neighboring towns. One is marked by its saloons and its squalor and untidiness, and the other by clean streets, neat looking homes and well-kept churches and school-houses. In one town a few people care about their town and in the other nobody cares! The love of God and the love of the beautiful are natural allies in lifting men to better things. One works from within and the other from without. But both aim for man's best. Somehow while both are natural co-workers, they fail to make connection in altogether too many instances. In many churches they go hand in hand, while in many ,one of them, the love of beauty, seems to be a stranger. Thus the church is unattractive in its architecture, and its surroundings are uncouth and homely to a degree. It seems never to have dawned on the souls of some men who have a genuine love for God, that God delights in the beautiful. We are talking about no undemocratic It may be that theology is to blame for all this. I trow not, however. It is more fact. It is in human nature. If you had a Socialistic Commonwealth tomorrow the same fact would hold true. We all like to see the biggest man at the head of the procession: we want a man somewhat stronger than the average for President or Mayor. It is good for every man of us to see someone better than we are ourselves to admire. See what it did for Jesus' disciples, at first rather commonplace and cowardly men, to keep company with the Master! Let us agree that good leadership is about the most precious commodity in the world. How shall we find it, or develop it? 'The democratic gospel is that it lies about us like ore, in the common human nature. Seek and you shall find!" There is more skill, more music, more dramatic talent, more virtue, more heroism in most communities than ever goes into the newspapers. So there is more power of leadership. Sometimes it is waiting to be called out. as (ieneral Grant's powers simply slumbered till the call of the Civil War came. Often, again, the power is running to mischief. 'The story is told of the governor of one of the States of Mexico, that he had been a formidable captain of bandits in his part of the country. President Diaz sent to this man a proposition that he should enter the service of the Government, and offered to make him governor of the state. He accepted the offer, and they say that no district in Mexico, or indeed anywhere else, was safer than that over which this former robber presided. Why not? The man had energy and brains which he needed to use. Give him the chance to use all his power for the good and you make him happier than he ever was, when putting it out to mischief. In fact you use more of the man now than he used before, and men, specially men of force, are never so happy as when you put every ounce of power and skill in them to use. There are certain boys and men in many a village, maybe loafing around sawaste or even to loons and pool-rooms, making fun and sometimes disturbance, perhaps getting up clubs or leading gangs, setting the fashions of vulgarity for younger boys, running their energies to the demoralization of the community, and yet never really meaning to do harm, to whom no one has ever suggested what better fun they might have by putting their power of leadership on the side of the good! The question is how to turn this waste power where it will help everyone, in- stead of running to waste and hurt. It is like the engineer's problem how to convert the wild power of the waterfall into light and heat. The first point is to �8 face the problem and study the facts. What are the most forceful influences in a given community? .The next point is to have faith that what ought to be done can and must be done. I can only here make certain brief suggestions. For example, you can bank on the fact that there is no community so hopeless, run down and depraved, in which there is not the susceptibility to the stirring of local pride, or better, local patriotism. This is simply to say that man is essentially a social being and he likes to see the social betterment of his neighborhood. They say not even the pigs like to live in a stye! If men and women ever seem to be content to live in squalor, you may be sure that it is because no one has ever given them a reasonable hope of living better. Thus, there is no group of children whom you cannot interest to clean up their streets and plant flowers in the dismal back yards, and put a gleam of beauty and brightness into their windows. In the worst type of community, because it is bad, you have a ready means of appeal to the latent leadership among its people, and specially in its young people, to win it over to the side of the good. ()f course you will use proper tact, so that each new proposed undertaking shall seem to be not some stranger's idea, but the will and the enterprise of the community. November, 1910. THE FRIEND free of shuns and bar-rooms, with proper playgrounds and club rooms, and a civilized people, living in happy homes. He ought to have a deal of sympathy: he must be careful not to denounce people, and so to rouse their opposition. He must see what kind of poisonous or barbarous influence goes to make men "bad," and he must never forget what would have happened if he too had been brought Up and exposed to such kind of bad atmosphere. He must "play fair," even if at times he has to make a distinct stand against some kind of abuse, "graft." "injustice," or immorality. He is never fighting against men. but always for men. even the worst men. 1 le must have plenty of faith in the good nature in men. This is only to say that he needs to believe that men are always the children of God, and, if so, that there must be a good nature in them, and not an evil nature. If anvone wants some fresh evidence of this fact, let him read the true stories in a book published by the Revel! Company, "Twice Born men.!" This is to say. that the one victorious force in this universe is goodness, that is, justice, mercy and modesty. This force is irresistible. ()ur worker cannot carry it with him into any neighborhood and be defeated. Everywhere people respond to it. provided only they are sure it is genuine. They will often not be sure at first: they have frequently been imposed upon: there is an idea with some that "goodness" is a varnish, concealing conceit and selfishness. People are shy of the name of goodness and we must not blame them, but they are never shy of courage or friendliness or honor or generosity, in living human form. Once more our worker needs to take with him a lot of dynamite or energy, (iood will is the highest and most effective form of power. But it is not merely because it is good, but because it is tvill, that is, purpose, determination, devotion. Obviously, again, if we wish to help in the uplift of any community, we shall take advantage of every live growth that we can find in the place. Paul's figure of the wild olive tree, grafted to bear good olives, is fine. 'This is simply using Nature in Nature's own way. Is there a grange in the town, or a club of any sort. or even a dead-alive kind of a church? Wherever there is life we propose to take it to our purpose. We have heard on occasions, of the conversion of a club of "hooligans" into excellent young citizens. It is more fun to be citizens than to be hooligans, if anyone will show the way. LITERARY NOTE.

Probably the average American regards less grudgingly no item of the national budget than the moneys which Uncle Sam appropriates once a decade to take the nation's roll. Our typical good citizen may in times of discontent look askance at the increasing sums demand ed by his local school system. He may cultivate convictions anent the proposed pruning of the pension list. If he be ultra radical he may even suspect the wisdom of transferring some millions of unearned increment to grafting contractors through the medium of a new state house. But the census touches him at a vital spot. Boys who grow rapidly sometimes exhibit awkwardness and embarrassment in becoming accommodated to novel conditions. But American municipalities never. To a people that has chosen for itself a magnificent future the appeal of mere hugeness is likely at a certain stage to be irresistible. Wherefore it happens that as the population of the various larger cities is announced by Washington one community after another shouts itself blue in the face in the proclaiming of its prowess, the heralding of its achievements and the disparagement of its rivals. But as with with individuals self esteem is often illogical, so with municipalities. We glory in our cities. Their bigness thrills. We rejoice in the comforts with which they surround us. We hasten to avail ourselves of the enhanced opportunities for useful work which they place within our grasp. We felicitate ourselves upon the intellectual life which they foster. Too frequently we blind ourselves to the plague spots—the iniquity in the council chamber, the peonage in the commercial system, the moral disease which only the privacy of a great town makes possible. And granting even the Utopian elimination of such evils it still remains to be proved whether city conditions can ever allow of sane and normal and healthy life from generation to generation. The call of the soil, feeble as it is, reminds us that our pride of bigness involves a glorying in congested living, a tolerance of scant air and sunshine, an endorsement of the inevitable handicap which the city places upon no small number of those who compose it. In view of this we may well pause at the thought that our national metropolis is nearing the five million mark, and that the automobile industry has swelled certain middle west cities at rates varying from fifty �November, l°dO. THE FRIEND. to two hundred per cent for the decade. All considered, woods and meadows and brooks and birds do more for men than motor cars and subways. An increase in the area of land and in the cubic footage of pure air alloted to each individual is after all more to be desired than a raising of the per capita wealth or success in reaching the seven figure population column. There are sermons in the census, and the citizen who peruses with pride the returns will do well to think further than the satisfaction of national' selfmeasurement. Whither We May Move. If the city is eventually to vindicate itself as a wholesome abode a two-fold process will be necessary. Both phases of it have begun. In the first place, abnormal conditions must be met by a determined effort to import the helpful features of a rural environment. 'The tenement of the notorious type must give way to a system of homes and home-grouping which shall permit a maximum of sunlight and air. As far as such a thing is possible the park and playground must take the part of the woods and meadows. 'This is the phase of substitution. How far it will succeed is for experiment to demonstrate. About the second phase there can be no question as to policy or efficacy. Certain accompaniments of city life are unmistakably a menace and owe their continued existence only to the lackadaisical tolerance and inertia of our civic consciousness. To them measures of elimination should be applied at once. They include what may be classed as the minor nuisances. A certain amount of noise and confusion is of course unavoidable in certain city sections. It is false altruism, however, to treat more considerately the ledger of a corporation than the nerves of a community and in consequence allow a transportation system to make the streets hideous. It is criminal to endanger the peace and safety of a town for lack of initiative to banish certain practices which once had their use but have become obsolete and harmful. Recent criticisms upon the sounding of tire alarms in Honolulu are well taken. The alarm had its origin when the means of checking conflagrations were less adequate than they are at present, and in the need for assembling fire-fighters and arousing the community to its danger. Now iliat the extinguishing of fires is left to a paid organization it would seem that the less the disturbance the better that organization could do its work and the greater would be the tranquility of the community. The same principle applies in large measure to the ringing of church bells. Once it was necessary to summon . 9 the clockless countryside to meeting by means of a signal. Today each vest pocket bears its timepiece and the hour of service is set. 'To burden the air with a paroxysm of bell tolling is therefore a needless desecration of the Sabbath peace, and in a city constitutes no mean addition to the liabel of unavoidable noises. The boisterous factory whistle, the rattling conveyance, the fire alarm and the church bell are a few of the nuisances which deserve to go the way of the fire-cracker. It may be possible eventually to achieve a sensible year as well as a sane Independence Day. One More Nuisance. To those who work for the of the billboard a suggestion periodical may he of interest. comments that no community elimination in a recent of western education in China. Some weeks ago a group of seventy Chinese students paused at Honolulu on their way to American universities. They are nearing the heights of what the Occident is pleased to call higher learning. The young men showed themselves accomplished, liberal minded, filled with worthy purpose. It was an inspiration for .us at the cross-roads to meet them. It will be a matter of some satisfaction presumably to the chairs of several mainland universities to grace them with the final touches. In rejoicing at the product, however, let us not overlook the planning and the endeavor, the sacrifice and the disappointment which have entered into their preparation. For several decades an army of devoted Americans and Europeans has labored in the east at what, but for its faith and vision, must again and again have seemed a hopeless and thankless task. To love an Asiatic in the rough, to continue loving him individually anil in the aggregate for indefinite years, to bridge the differences that yawn between his footing of view and morals and one's own. to work unceasingly for his self-discovery and toward the stimulation of his nobler instincts—these are the motives that have actuated mission forces for the last few decades, and that have made possible the Boxer indemnity bond. And today many a courageous worker is sifting his hordes and picking his promising children, drilling them in fundamentals, passing them on to the preparatory school, then waving them farewell as they leave to learn the ways of engineers and lawyers and teachers. They are to honor China and America in their labors. To the isolated missionary belongs the bulk of the credit, and the world should know it. May the finishers not forget to stretch hands across the sea to the patient beginners of the Chinese uplift. 'The article seems thus tar to have adopted the expedient of taxing billboards, and argues that the advertiser might fairly be required to make return for his privilege of display. If he occupies a page in a daily he remunerates the publisher as well as the artisan. If he inserts his card in a car he compensates the transportation company as well as the printer. Why not, therefore, when he borders and crosses a street with bis sign, pay the city as well as the agent? His display entails a sacrifice on the part of the public, and should command a return to the public.

The great present day patriots of these two nations are not the greedy money grabbers, jealous politicians, hysterical non-re- ligious reformers, or indulgent "joy riders" but the men who. amid the straining scenes of an over-pressed life, are making big, deep, far-reaching plans for the extension of the matchless power of Jesus Christ. Every man thus engaged is building foundations that will stand the superstructure of coming years' growth. In this connection a plan is being rapidly developed of unparalleled proportions to bring the men and boys of the continent to face anew their opportunity and responsibility in relation to the Christian religion. The plan contemplates a program of mighty emphasis for the next eighteen months, and is being backed by the denominational brotherhoods, the Men's Department of the International Sunday School Association, the Young Men's Christian Associations, and through these the very strongest pastors and Christian laymen. The movement is to reach its highest point in eight-day campaigns in about ninety cities during the season of 1911-12, but the advance is to begin at once, and is to be given its strongest impetus in the setting-up conference to lie held in Buffalo, October 25 and 26. At this time delegates from the ninety cities will meet in Westminster Presbyterian Church to perfect the plan and set the forces in action.

Notes From the Field FRANK S. SCUDDER A Japanese Christian Funeral It was not modelled on prayerbook or liturgical form, nor even patterened just after funerals seen in churches, but its ceremony was beautiful because it was planned out in that spirit of love which "doth not behave itself unseemly, and seeketh not her own." A poor man had died of a contagious disease. During his sickness no one wanted to expose himself to the disease, so Mr. , our evangelist, stepped into the breach and nursed the dying man until he had no further need of human ministry, and then with his own hands washed the corpse and prepared it for the burial. According to custom, the funeral is regarded as a legitimate source of large income to the temple. Money is demanded for this and that, and even the humblest funeral is costly to the bereaved; but, said the evangelist, we will establish a new custom, and as this man's family is poor, let us have everything done without asking for any money. So the believers bought the coffin, and brought flowers in abundance and a company of 'H) persons, members of the church and the temperance society, accompanied the mourners all the way to the grave, walking, to save the heavy expense always incurred in providing carriages. ()ne thing which the evangelist could not refuse without causing embarrassment and offense to the friends of the dead, was the gift of money they offered him as a slight token of their appreciation for his services. This therefore he accepted, but with it at once purchased some of the necessaries of life, and presented them to the family as a token of his sympathy. Illiterate Japanese, who have been away from their own country during its progress in Christian enlightenment, still hold strange ideas in regard to Christian customs. One of these is that Christians drive nails into the bodies of the dead as a symbol of union with the nail-pierced Christ, but the high regard for the memory of even the humblest brother Christian, which was shown on this occasion, has banished such notions from those who came and saw and listened. It is needless to say that every person in the camp who was able to sit or stand attended this unusual funeral, and the evangelist had an audience of over 300 persons who listened long and eagerly to a ; gospel whose spirit was so beautifully exemplified by the devoted brotherhood. OF JAPANESE WORK, WAILUKU, MAUI. REPORT Since the last quarterly report quite a number of changes have taken place. The departure of Rev. (J. Tanaka, his son and niece and Miss Asa Konichi for California, and Mrs. S. Kanda for Japan, all active workers in the Japanese mission. Recent letters from Mr. 'Tanaka show that he is pleasantly located in his new home and work at Riverside, Cal. We are looking forward to the return of Mrs. Kanda about Christmas time. We gladly welcome the new workers. Rev. Mr. Mamiya and wife, also Miss [garashi, all recently from Japan, all enthusiastic in the work, which moves mi with a good degree of success. The day school has an attendance of lifts, all, of which are members of the Sunday school. Several of the young nun have left Wailuku because they wished to seek employment elsewhere, or because of ill health, which made a change necessary. We are sorry to say that Mr. G. Nakatsu, an earnest faithful worker in our mission, is now in Kona because of failing health. 'The Y. M. C. A. meetings are still well attended as arc also the Sunday evening services. Mr. Mamiya has a class of young men for Bible study each Sunday morning, also the first and third Sunday afternoons of each month a similar class for women, and the first and third Monday evenings of each month a Bible study class for the young men at Kahului, at the home of Mr. Kobayashi. The Japanese Woman's Society still forms an interesting part of the mission work. Since the opening of the new school two meetings have been held. At the first seventeen women and many children. At the last meeting October 15th there was a larger gathering of twentyfive women, and as many children, mostly the mothers of the children connected with the Mission Day School.

This seemed to cause much merriment, both by women and children. Anything in the line of simple games seem to be enjoyed by the Japanese women.

A very important part of the _work amoung young people of our islands is with the boys. The youth of today is the citizen of tomorrow, and we have a great responsibility in training the boys it: the elements of good character and good citizenship. To this end it is well for us to face the question, "How shall we present to boys an idea of life which in their hearts they recognize as good and desirable and as possible for them to try for?" We must first determine whether boys have this right idea or standard instinctively or whether they need to have it given them. Is it not true that the average boy needs to be waked up to a comparison of his own life with a better standard? Is the right standard given him by home trainiing? To know Christ as the standard and to have personal loyalty to Him is being a Christian. That is, that a boy needs to know Christ as the standard in such a way that Christ is real to him, that he will admire Christ, and, to an extent, understand Him, will want to be like him. not only in the qualities that appeal to him. but in those that he does not understand. He needs to learn that putting all of one's energy, purpose and life into everything one does is Christ's way of doing. What qualities should be put emphasis on? We should begin with what a boy can understand, and if he follows Christ he will in time learn all he needs to know. In so starting a boy there are certain inefficient and harmful things to beware of. We must avoid, first, stock phrases such as "Coming to Christ," "Doing God's will," and the like; second, we should avoid telling a boy to be "good," "kind," "gentle" (these words have no attraction for a genuine boy); third, avoid making appeal to self-interest. Do make Christian living too easy. There is something in us all, and above all in a boy, that responds to an appeal to do hard things without hope of reward. Study Christ's words to those who wish to follow Him. Fourth, we should avoid appealing much to feelings, pressing on his attention the emotional side of religion. He hears now of God's love and sacrifice, but it is later that it will make its strongest appeal to him. The impression made on him now by this should become a motive of action. Give the boy something to do. Avoid sentimentality in religion as you would the plague. A boy who is the victim of these mistakes is disgusted or mystified or made morbid if he docs not become a hypocrite or a prig. not The boys who are the least trouble are not the most promising, but rather those wdio keep things in a turmoil. We have many kinds to deal with, and in some cases the manly qualities are to be built up, in others directed and cleared of evil. A boy needs to know that God has given him his boy nature to use in a boy's way and yet in God's way, and that he is not called to put off boyhood when be is a Christian. A boy'needs first, squareness, honesty, fair-play. This in games, in work, in fighting, in trading and swopping. Second, he needs generosity, the sense of honor, standing for fair-play, chivalry. This is the ground of friendship as illustrated in the case of David and Jonathan. 'Third, he needs serviceableness, bearing one's share, unselfishness, kindness (do not call it that), going out of the way to help. Tell a boy, "Think of other people instead of yourself and do not try to get the best for yourself." Fourth, the boy needs grit, "sand," sticking to work, not to be downed by anything, be it problem, homesickness or pain, and he needs steadfastness and faithfulness to duty. Fifth, he needs moral courage, fearlessness and not to be afraid to acknowledge himself in the wrong. Sixth, he needs clean living and thinking and speaking. Some one has written, "Don't you think that a Christian boy is one who tells the truth, keeps his speech and his thoughts clean, and is slow to fight, keep- How about your Sunday School Supplies for next Year ? Consult the Hawaiian Board Book Rooms ing his temper under control? A soft answer turns away wrath, and how many quarrels have been avoided by a laugh and a joke. This does not mean being a coward, however, for he must be brave above all things, physically and morally, and must stand for fair play, daring to fight a boy twice his size if he is bullying a small one; or if he finds he is wrong, to admit it before the whole school. Thoughtful of what he can do for others always ready with a helping hand and cheerful word—doing his work cheerfully and well. In playtime he throws himself into the games with a zest and good fellowship and sense of fairness which makes the recess twice as much fun for all. Such a boy is bound to be a leader; vile stories and mean acts will stop when he is present, and what he says will go with the boys. Who can say how much good such a clean, wholesome honest boy will do just by living in his little world? I think this is what it means to be good and to do right, and the reason I recommend it is because the three most Christlike men I have ever known began by being such boys as this." The "Teen" Age and How We May Win and Hold Them. The "Teen" age, from thirteen years nineteen, is a critical period in the lives of many young people. If they are won and held for the Master in those years, there is a strong likelihood that they will continue to be followers of Christ during their lives. The practical question is two-fold, first, how may they be won, and second, how may we hold them ? They may be won, first, by personal touch, the close, vital contact of a life earnestly, quietly, confidently seeking to be of real help. There follows the necessity of knowing and understanding the boys and girls well. And there is also the need of knowing the interests and inner lives of the pupils and meeting their needs and interests along the lines of their tastes. It is after all not a very hard matter to win the young people in a formal way at least. The real problem is not one of how to attract them into the church and Sunday-school, but of how to hold their interest and make them loyal to the higher life. One answer that has often been given is "Build a wall of fathers between them and the door." Give them the idea that the Sunday-school is not a "kid's affair," but a place for manly men. That is good, but we shall find the boys burrowing under or climbing over or boring through that wall unless we do something more than that. If we put all our men into one big class, and try to build to �November. 1910. THE FRIEND. 15 For six months the waves tossed this kind singing sharply, and the other singat ing from time to time.

Straight out toward the ocean was the narrow entrance to the harbor, through which rolled the finest surf waves of the I lonolulu part of the island ( )ahu. 'The surf bore the name "Ke-kai-o-Mainala," "the sea of Mamala." When the surf rose high it was called " ka-nuku-o-MamaU," "the nose of Mamala." So the sea and entrance to the harbor were known by the name Mamala, and the shore gave the name Kou to the bay. Mamala was a chiefess of Kupua character. This meant that she was a moo or gigantic lizard or crocodile, as well as a beautiful Beautiful woman, and could assume whichever shape she most desired. One of the legends says that she was a shark anil woman, and had for her husband the shark-man, < hlha, afterward a shark god having his home in the ocean near Coco head. Mamala and < Hlha drank awa together and played konane on the smooth konane stone at Kou. Mamala was a wonderful surf-rider. Very skillfully she danced on the roughest waves. The surf in which she most delighted rose far out in the rough sea. where the winds blew strong and whitecaps were on waves which rolled in rough disorder into the bay of Kou. The people on the beach, watching her, filled the air with resounding applause as they clapped their hands over her extraordin- ary athletic feats. The chief, I lono-kau-pu, chose to take Mamala as his wife, so she left Ouha and lived with her new husband. ( hlha was angry and tried at first to injure Mono ami Mamala, but be was driven away. He fled to the lake Ka-ihi-Kapu towards Waikiki. There he appeared as a man with a basketful! of shrimps and fresh fish, which he offered to the women of that place, saying, "Here is life (i.e., a living thing) for the children." He opened his basket, but the shrimps and the fish leaped out and escaped into the water. 'The women ridiculed the god-man. 'The ancient legendary characters of all Polynesia as well as of Hawaii could not endure anything that brought shame or disgrace upon them in the eyes of others. Ouha fled from the taunts of the women, casting off his human form, and dissolving his connection with humanity. 'Thus he became the great god-shark of the coast between Waikiki and Coco Head.
