On the 4th ult. 011 the grounds of Oahu Cotlege, at 5 p. m., was laid, with suitable exercises, the corner stone of the Preparatory School building of the institution. During the sixty years since Punahou school was first established by the American Missionaries for their own children, Upon the lands donated for that purpose by the late Rev. Hiram Bingham, the original founders of the school have all passed away, and their surviving children who attended the school in its early decades are all men and women in advanced years. The third generation also are all now adults and in active life. The present pupils and students belong to the fourth generation from those missionaries. The institution has prospered. The higher department, or properly academy, was several years ago separated from the Preparatory department, which found a home in the center of the city in what had been the Armstrong home, enlarged for its use. The time has come, with the growth of the city and improved means of transit, to reunite the feeder school upon the same grounds with the advanced department.

When the Divine Logos "emptied himself" (Phil. 2:5-8) his assuming "the form of a servant" and "likeness of men" does not necessarily exclude all that is not formally expressed as to the nature of that "emptying" or kcnosis. We pointed out that human Physiology necessarily forbids the exercise of boundless knowledge. The Bishop holds that "To deny ( )niniscience is to deny Divinity. To hold to a belief in the Divine Nature is to hold to a belief in (Irani science." True, we say, if we admit that the < hiiniscicnec remained suspended during Jesus' earthly life. As Man, he could not exercise it. He had only the potentiality of resuming his Divine attributes after laying off the limitations of the earthly body. This may be illustrated by well-known pathological facts. Take the case of a learned and accomplished scientist who receives a blow which so depresses a portion of the skull as to press upon the brain, and cause such a loss of memory that all his stores of knowledge and power of thought seem to be lost. Does he thereby lose his identity as the eminent scientist? Not at all. Let surgical skill remove the pressure upon the brain, and he is again the brilliant man of learning. So the Divine Logos, subjecting himself to the conditions of the human body and brain, became for the time devoid of his infinite attributes. He became weak and ignorant man, save for the copious illumination which he received from the Holy Ghost, by whom he was endowed with that superhuman Knowledge and Power which he constantly displayed during his Messianic labors. This seems to us the just and correct solution of the problem presented by the facts and statements of the New Testament. - Hawaiian Board Work Exhibited. A very effective spectacular exhibit was made of the varied Mission Work of the Hawaiian Board, at the Central Union Church. The time of morning service on October 27th was given up for this purpose. The object of the exhibit was to present in an effective manner to the Christian people especially interested the nature and extent of the work in order that they might be intelligently besought to cooperate therein The opportunity for effective evangelization in these islands is very great, and an extensive work is being done. th< knowledge of which should be brought] to those concerned. The church was occupied hy a huge and interested congregation, Around the walls were hung banners inscribed with the names of the various churches established in these islands among the native people, the dates of their organization, and the names of their early missionary pastors. On each side of the pulpit was a large tablet, one giving the history of the Hawaiian Board, the other a financial statement. Their inscriptions were as follows : In 1864 there was spent for home work $964; in 1901, $38,544. A striking increase.—Too much?

The exercises were opened by the Doxdogy and an introductory prayer followed by an especially prepared Responsive reading, and the singing of "Coronation." The presentation of the work of the Hawaiian Board followed. Rev. O. P. Emerson began with a brief introductory address, and announced the processions representing the various missions, as they advanced singing into the auditorium through the rear doors. The first to enter were representatives of various Hawaiian churches and schools in the islands, carrying appropriate banners. After going through the aisles, they lined up in front of the pulpit. Mr. Emerson spoke as follows: "( her the door of Saint Paul's Cathedral in London there is a tablet bearing the fnllow ing inscription dedicated to the builder of that magnificent edifice. 'If you require a monument, look about Kin.' To the congregation of this Look about you. Look church I say at the work, which the Hawaiian Board has done, with your help.- Before, under the American Board, there were twenty churches: after that when the new policy had been adopted the twenty churches were divided into fifty-nine.

They are supporters of a good government for these islands. Support them, and supl>ort the Board, which stands behind them, for both are closely related." The representations of the North Pacific Mission Institute were then announced. A considerable procession of young men advanced, students and recent-graduates, Hawaiians and a few panese. The head of this Theological Institute, Rev. J. Leadingham, spoke substantially as follows: "How shall they hear without a preacher," was an often quoted saying. The missionary fathers early realized the importance of this, and at an early date began the training and theological education of young men of the same nationality as their congregations. He asked those present to look at the large map which was suspended in front of the organ and there note the great number of black marks, which indicated that at these points native missions were established. He also mentioned how in later years the work had undergone a change owing to the altered circumstances, which the large immigrations of foreign races had caused. It was no longer Hawaiian service alone. It had become necessary Ja- to branch out in order to spread the gospel among these foreign races. Among the young theological students who now stood before the congregation could be seen Hawaiians, Japanese and Porttuguese, as an indication of the change. After dwelling upon the recent ordination of native pastors for important native churches. Mr. Leadingham ended his speech with an appeal to the congregation to look upon the work done as their own. done in connection with the I law aiian Board. After the closing of this speech the representatives of the Chinese schools were announced. Their procession was possibly the most interesting and splendid of them all. The young Chinese pupils, lads in uniform and young girls in the picturesque costume of their native land, marched with song along the aisles, carrying aloft handsome banners lettered with the names of various schools and other institutions in connection with the missonary work among the Chinese. Mr. Frank W. Damon, who is at the head of the Chinese Mission, hereupon made a short speech, mentioning as an interesting fact the new type, the Hawaiian-Chinese, which had sprung forth in these islands. It was a thing to be proud of, that the people here had been enabled to give the gospel to these people, who, born here, were nurtured in the light of Christianity. Chinese had been in the Hawaiian Islands for over seventy years and for twenty years our churches had been instrumental in giving the blessings of the gospel to these people, first through the Y. M. C. A. and later on. in 1882. by the Hawaiian Board. At present there were six evangelists engaged in the work anil six regular mission stations and a great number of regular Chinese church members. These stations were centers of influence throughout the whole group, and what was more this influence stretched across the oceans to the land of these people, when they on returning honu. could enlighten their brethren in their home country. lie then spoke with deep interest of the special foims of mission work, which were being carried on in the city of Honolulu, of the Chinese church, the Sabbath schools, the kindergartens, the Bible women, and all the different agencies en gaged in bringing our Chinese populaHe tion to the knowledge of Christ. ended by referring to the inscription from Confucius emblazoned on one of the banners, "Within the four seas all men are brothers." The procession of the Japanese Mission hereupon entered like the others, singing and carrying banners. After passing around in the church they lined up in front of the platform, and Rev. (). 11. (iulick, who is at the head of the Japanese Mission work in these islands, spoke. He began by reminding the audience of the immense percentage of the population which the Japanese form. Ik" stated that about two-fifths of the people of the islands were Japanese, there being about 60,000 altogether. Among these there were twelve preachers, noble, faithful men, who were devoting their life-work to the spreading of the gospel among their countrymen. The Japanese took kindly to Christianity and at the present day the Board, if it had the money and the men could locate twelve new preachers among them. He praised the assembled congregation for the noble way in which it lived up to the Bible's bidding to be kind to the stranger within their gates. The Japanese were stretching out their arms for the gospel, and that the appeal is heard, the banners which represent different phases of the work among them hear witness. There were the Sunday schools the Bible classes among the Japanese women, live-day schools and tennight schools, the Honoinu boarding school with sixty-two pupils ami many other things, which pointed to the growing success of the work. It might be true that Buddhist temples were being established throughout the islands, but it was to the people of this church that the Japanese were looking with expectation. 159 The work of the Hawaiian Board among the Japanese could be seen outlined on the big map, where dots showed the numerous places where missions had been established among the plantation laborers. The last procession of all was that of the representatives of the Portuguese Mission. Like the rest they marched in, singing, with waving banners and halted in front of the platform. Rev. Mr. Scares spoke in behalf of this mission, thanking God that he had made it possible to have the work carried on through the supporting aid of the congregation of the Central Union church. 'The Portuguese Mission had been in existence for about eleven years, and in comparing the past with the present it was a great pleasure to see how many were now earnestly striving to live nobler The Sunday School and better lives. was full of life and enthusiasm. The dayschool, which began with only six pupils, now had 120 to show that the work had Also on the other been successful. A islands the work was in progress. trip taken by Mr. Snares last year had shown him the enormous progress of the mission in Hilo and on Maui, where the small children congregated to hear the word of the Lord and to praise him in song. The street meetings which had been started a short while ago here in Honolulu also showed a marvelous progress. In the beginning these meetings were continually disturbed by insults, vile language, oaths and all sorts of noises, but now they had entirely changed character: quite a number of people came as eager listeners, ami the meetings were drawing people, who showed the greatest attention. And these people not only listened to '.he truth, hut many of them earnestly strove to live the truth. The workers of the mission were thankful to the people of the Central Union Church who helped them to do their work to the glory of God and the salvation of men. The next address was a short and pointed one hy the Treasurer of the Board, Mr. 'Theodore Richards, to whom was due much of the effectiveness of this Exhibit. He began by saying that great work had been done, much of which could not be seen. 'There was no display about the work of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Many did not suspect before that morning what a great labor was going on on the plantations of these islands. He bade the assemblage to look at the map and to note the great number of marks which denoted that Hawaiian missions were established there. But �160 another look would show that at many of the great plantation districts, as foi instance Hilo and Hamakua, there were few marks of Japanese, mission work, which showed that there was still a great deal left to be done. While the whole organization was s< to speak, an insurance for the people on these islands, vet the burden had here tofore fallen on a few shoulders only, (ireat gifts had been forthcoming heretofore, but the time of large gifts wa> past. Oahu alone had paid over onehalf of the money for the mission work. but this could not continue. The burden must be shifted on other shoulders. Xot big gifts but many generous donors were needed. A short closing address followed by the pastor of the church, the Rev. W. M. Kincaid. He happily illustrated the three things to be observed in giving. I. All give something. 11. All give as the Lord has enabled them. 111. All give cheerfully. He closed with a warning against spasmodic giving, which was as fruitless as spasmodic piety. He then asked the congregation to subscribe on cards in the seats to regular payments to the Board. 'The collection of money and cards was then made, and the assembly dismissed with the benediction.

It is not icccssary formally to disprove an assumption so contrary to the actual facts." Sonship Lost by the Prodigal. "New 'Theology" preachers are constantly extolling the Parable of the Prodigal Son, as teaching that the worst sinners still retain Sonship, and that Cod is still their Father. Now, nothing can be nune contrary to the positive teaching of that glorious Parable. It distinctly and unqualifiedly teaches that the Prodigal while such, hail lost his sonship—was dead to his former father. When he repented, and returned in deep contrition, lie recovered his lost sonship. "This my son was dead, and is alive again." 'The use the "New Theology" preacher makes of the parable is a most serious and mischievous perversion of both its letter and spirit. It teaches the debauchee to believe that he is still the loved child of Cod, when he is really outcast, and a son of wrath and misery. Well for him is it, if misery comes upon him in such time and way that he shall God's Fatherhood Misstated.

For the sake of the prosperity of the Episcopal Church in Hawaii, and its greater serviceableness in Christian works we heartily hope that such an arrangement may be carried out without long delay. It seems certain to promote the healing of long standing divisions in that branch of Christ's Hock, and the enlisting of nu ire effective Christian service among them, liishop Willis has for tlvity years been tireless in zeal and devotion to his work; but certain idiosyncracies have been fatal to harmony and growth in the work over which he has presided. It is to be hoped that his successor will equal him in personal piety and devotion, and withal possess powers of wise conciliation, as well as be in sympathy with American sentiment. There is a large American element, which naturally gravitates to the Episcopal Church, and which is likely to he liberal with its means for religious and educational work among the unevangelized races forming the larger part of our population. Spanish Friars in the Philippines. It has been notorious that the friar priests are extremely unpopular with the Filipino population. But in an interview with Archbishop Noxaleda of Manila, at Rome, recently published by the Philadelphia Catholic Standard ami Times, the prelate insisted that the people wanted the friars, and that they must he returned to their parishes. A part of the interview is here copied, as follows: "'But what further question is there to he settled if, as I read in the American papers, there are now so few religious in the islands that they are all within the walls of Manila?' "'lt is true that they are in the convents of Manila, hut thii fact is due not to the hostility of the population, hut to the opposition of the American author- ities. Indeed, the people are continuously calling for their return to the parishes. It is the American Protestant missionaries who by their influence with the authorities secure the absence of the religious.' "My surprise was expressed without words. The Archbishop continued: " "It is very sad. If any of the religious has returned he has been received joyously and festively by the population, but bidden to return to Manila by the order of the military commandant.' " 'So,' J said, 'there is a veritable persecution of the church in the Philippines?' " 'It is indeed all too true," replied the Archbishop. �Vol. 59, No. ii.] " 'But,' 1 said, if the parishes are nearly all abandoned by the religious, and if the religious are almost the totality of the clergy, the ecclesiastical centers are desolate?' " 'There are a few native priests, but of by no means a sufficient number. With these few exceptions the state of religion is as you infer it to be.' "I felt that every answer of the metropolitan had cut deeply into the Philippine tangle, and that only the moral question was left. On this point the Archbishop's statements were equally decisive, though uttered gently according to his wont. "He said: 'Regarding the aspersions cast upon the lives of the religious, these are the result of a campaign of calumny invented and circulated by a group of natives, themselves irreligious. These men have always been haters of the religious corporations. Their information was taken up by the 'Taft commission. It was well known in Manila that at least some of the members of the commission were enemies of the religious. One (Dean Worcester) had actually written a book against the religious. 'The commission stood suspect for bias, for parti [>ris.' it hear the other side?' " 'Did it did not hear the other side.' "Thus the various elements of the question, so far as I am possessed of its bearings, having been one by one set in a clear light by the highest ecclesiastical authority on the condition of religion in the Philippines, it seemed useless to put. further inquiries. In the course, however, of a lengthy conversation, which continued to treat of the various headings here dealt with and which seem to exhaust the substance of the question, the Archbishop told me to insist upon the fact that before as well as after the submission of Aguinaldo the people of tbe islands mivc on various sides been clamoring for the return of the religious to the various parishes, but all to no purpose." The authorities at Rome werj deferring action upon the question, waiting for the arrival of Archbishop Chapelle. the Apostolic Delegate to Manila. It may be remembered that after Dewey's victory. Archbishop Nozaleda issued a manifesto filled with the most infamous denunciations of the intentions of the Americans. It has been thoroughly made clear, that more than anything vise the Filipinos insist upon being set free from the gross oppressions of the friars, who have absolutely ruled them t'..rough their archbishop.

Letter from Mr. Price. Ao.wva. Guam, Aug. 8, 1901. Dear Friends:—I desire to send you a few extracts from my notes about the (iuain people, hoping to quicken your interest in our most interesting field and lead you to join your prayers with ours for their redemption. 'There are about 10,000 people on Cuam —7,000 in Aganya, the capital. They are very different from the Caroline Islands' people, more intelligent and attractive. Their language is more highly inflected, having prefixes and suffixes for the persons of the verbs and singular and plural forms. The vocabulary is richer, having received words from many languages, principally the Spanish. They are a very peaceable people, as a rule, quarreling little among themselves, not given to deeds of violence, and residing, for the most part in families. They like to be in crowds and most farmers live in the towns, going as far as twelve miles, some of them, to cultivate their lands. The men spend the week at their ranches, coming home late Saturday night, spending Sunday with their wives and children and leaving very early on Monday. The women and some of the men go to early Sunday morning mass; the rest of the Sabbath day is given to sports of various kinds, trading and doing odd jobs. Gambling is a great vice among them and on Sundays and feast days the streets of Aganya swarm with crowds of men and hoys, pitching coppers for money. They pitch coppers as our hoys pitch quoits, the winner taking the loser's money at each throw. The silver dollar is often used instead of the copper. Governor Leary prohibited this, hut it is allowed with some restrictions by the present governor. Cock fighting is their national sport, always attended with gambling. Drunkenness is not common now. 'The best Chamoros say that Governor Leary did a great work in stopping the sale of strong drink. Prior to bis coming the merchants all sold aguardiente, a native drink, and little children were often seen staggering on the streets from drinking this liquor. Nothing of that kind is possible now. Smoking is a well-nigh universal practice, even pretty little girls of eight years or less are often seen puffing an immense cigar or an old pipe. Six'ial life is full of uncleanness, and anything like public sentiment against social sins is almost entirely wanting. I have been informed by a reliable party that parents in the very best families would gladly give their daughters in temporary marriage to officers who are married men, for the time of their sojourn here. The desire for white blood is very strong; Chamoro mothers display their white children with pride. it is a shame to speak of the things that are done by them in secret. 'The immoral lives of the priests gave a religious sanction to vice which no teaching could correct. "Do as we teach you, not as we do," they were accustomed to say to the people. The Roman Catholic church had a fine opportunity here and had they improved it and given the people a true spiritual religion —the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, the history of this island would have been different. 'They really gave them popish idolatry, and sought to hold them by nor could it satisfy the best minds. Prior lo 1850 Bibles had found their way hither .probably brought here by sea captains, though nobody seems to know how. and some of the people were reading them. The message so new and so sweet was gladly received, those who rear' a little wanting to read more and those who understood, telling the message to those who did not. For the gOS pel message is made sweeter by sharing it with some one else. So the reading of ihe word Spread until news of it came to the ears of the priests and then priest and ruler joined hands in stopping it. Diligent search for Bibles was made and at last three large baskets full were found, carried into the plaza and publicly burned. Some hid their Bibles and have them still, other Bibles were brought in which were again and burned in 1886. After this only one or two continued to read the Bible, the festivals and garish display.

()ne unmistakable evidence that none of the lavas of Hawaii were originally deposited under the sea, as required by Mr. Baldwin's theory, is that all the lavas along the coasts of the island are vesicular. Lavas deposited under the sea are necessarily without vesicles, because the pressure of the water prevents the expansion of the occluded gases. But another decisive evidence against the theory of gradual elevation, is the total absence of marine erosion from any part of the mountain slopes of Hawaii. Had the waves of the ocean once washed against the high slopes of Mauna Kea, as supposed, they would have left conspicuous marks there of their violent grinding. There are no such marks. The erosion by ocean waves is a most powerful and violent agent. It leaves immense and ineradicable scars in the form of eaten out precipices, and long terraces of sea-beach. In the former coves arc also vast and massive coral reefs. Hawaii is totally devoid of all such evidences of marine action, such as are found abundantly on Oahu at heights of from 40 to 50 feet above present sea level, and no higher. I think that the shallow parts of the sea in the inter-island channels were probably extensions of the present islands which have become submerged. West Maui was probably once united bydry land to Lanai and Molokai. That former land has subsided together with the islands. 'The subject is a fascinating but interminable one, ami may well res! here for the present. Leprosy Not Due to Mosquitoes. The Electric Road. There is not the slightest evidence that any species of mosquito existing in the Hawaiian Islands is capable of propagating any infectious disease. 'The Culex Anopheles which transmits ma larial fever, is not found here. Nor is the other species which is proved to communicate yellow fever. Leprosy is but slightly contagious, although a terrible and incurable disease. It is well established that its chief means of infection is by the secretions of the mouth, transmitted by kissing, by smoking pipes together, and by eating with the fingers from the same dish, to which practices the Hawaiians are greatly addicted, an<l therefore have been terrible sufferers from leprosy. Other races very rarely contract the disease, Some editorial experiences on the new road of the Rapid Transit Co. prove its travel both smooth and swift. We ran over nine miles in less than an hour, which is twice the speed of the mule tramcars. The trolley cars seem to be well patronized. The cars are large and elegant.

In accordance with the Proclamation of the President, the 28th was observed here as a day of Thanksgiving. All of our nation has enjoyed distinguished prosperity, but no section has had more peculiar cause for gratitude to God than Hawaii. In an exceptional degree and sense is it manifest how the manifold blessings of our lot have come from the special favor of Divine Providence. It was most distinctly that Providence which $2 years ago specially selected Hawaii as the destination of the messengers of Christ, and then caused them to be received here with such peculiar favor. This was manifestly done for the end accomplished, that the Gospel successfully cultivated here, should transform existing barbarism into a highly developed Christian civilization, making Hawaii a (Paradise for homes, and a radiant center of beneficent power, all whose delightful fruits we have been abundantly enjoying. The past year has been one of great and continued prosperity in material things. It has equally abounded in social and spiritual good. May we be keenly sensible of the Source of our manifold blessings. May our gratitude 11. 1., DECEMBER, 1901. 167 The Friend. [No. 12. enlist yet more eagerly our beneficent not fall far below 500.

For many years in Zaragoza there has been no special public persecution of the (.ospel work in that city, so the surprise was all the greater when the day before the Convention was to open the whole Roman Catholic press of the city opened its batteries on us. It seems that copier of the programme of the two days' exercises through the hands of the printers had reached these papers who made it the basis of their attack. Their exclamations of wrath and dismay that tin city of Zaragoza, blessed by the presence of the "Virgin of the Pillar." who is the Special devotion of the inhabitants of Zaragoza. should be desecrated by such an assembly, were extraordinary. Delegations of the two Cathedrals and of the Roman Catholic press called on the (iovernor assuring him that if the Protestants were permitted to hold the Convention it would occasion a conflict in the city. The (iovernor was so harrassed by these importunities that the evening before the Convention was to open he called the pastor of the church in Zaragoza to his house and explained to him the situation. Knowing however that we were entirely within our rights he, practically, said to the pastor: "I will send to you an order, which will also he in the public press ordering yon to do nothing in contravention of the laws on the pain of the instant closing of your meetings. This will satisfy the clamor of these newspapers, But, between ourselves, we know your rights under the Constitution and you just go forwartl with your meetings as you have always done hitherto and nothing will happen." This indeed was the result. The programme was followed with admirable precision, the pastor of Bilbao, 1). Jose Marques, taking in it a conspicuous part. At the close of the two days' meetings he delivered a stirring address in the chapel that was filled to overflowing. Without exaggeration I think it might be said that this sermon was in many respects the most eloquent and powerful that has been preached in Spain since the dawn of the Second Revelation in which we are now living, either in a Catholic or Protestant Church. His subject was simply. "Ksfuerzo Christiano." He said: "When I asked myself "Where of biblical heroes which he marshalled before us with telling effect. An Aragonese himself he appealed to his countrymen in this chief city of Aragoti, to cast off the bondage of fanaticism and superstition under which they lived, and to take upon themselves the yoke that is easy and the burden that is light; ami for their encouragement he cited with thrilling effect passages of their own most stirring history. It was a sermon that will not soon be forgotten by those who heard it. Returning to Bilbao the pastor found the greater part of the political press in his own city echoing, with atldetl bitterness of its own, the cries and the attacks of the Catholic press of Zaragoza which, repeated by the Madrid papers, were now resounding throughout the country, so that in Bilbao it was indeed the principal topic of conversation for the moment. The immediate effect of this agitation accompanied as it was by the Roman Catholic writers by especial attacks on Sr. Marques, was to till the chapel with people whose curiosity brought them to listen to the preaching of this dangerous and anti-patriotic Spaniard, as he was declared to lie. The result was in Bilbao, as in Zaragoza, that God made most conspicuously "the wrath of man to praise Him." After this incident of the Christian Endeavor agitation, in the month of September there occurred what was called: "The Coronation of the Virgin of Begona," or otherwise "The Mother of God in Begona." It was an extraordinary affair worked up by the priesthood to produce the greatest spectacular effect possible and at the expenditure of an enormous amount of money. For several days the streets were full of people that poured in from the surrounding villages. many coming from distant cities. ( lbserving people declared that rather than a religious festival it was an imposing political rally of the ultramontane forces of that part of Spain. The culminating ceremony was the placing of a crown Upotl the head of the Virgin and another on the head of the Child in whose hands also was placed a jewelled scepter, which objects it is said cost no less than one thousand two bundled pounds sterling. The day after the coronation was devoted to processions through the street in the most important of which they carried the so-called miracle winking image of the Virgin. This great procession in which were high dignitaries of the Church and a multitude of fanatical women of the place, called beatas, passed shall 1 go in search of examples of Chris- in front of our chapel undoubtedly for tian Endeavor 5 the reply of my soul was the purpose of creating a scandal to the 'Go to the Hook; go to the Hook." And injury of the Protestant Church. When the basis of his discourse was an array near our chapel they came to a halt and ' called out: "Long live the Virgin, the Mother of God of Begona," and again, immediately in front of the chapel, they halted and repeated the cry. As the pastor says it is apt to be in the case of these clerical street-theatricals, a comical note appeared that destroyed the malicious intent of the promoters of the scheme. When this mass of people was exactly in front of our chapel an enormous rat dashed out. no body could tell from where, and rushing through the crowd at a given signal they amid the cries and screams and the general flight of the women, who must have thought it was a protestant devil in the form of a rat. very nearly broke up the procession and certainly robbed it of whatever solemnity it might have had at that time. Indeed the whole event of the coronation of this Virgin was accompanied with so many untoward incidents that public attention was much attracted by the fact. A leading paper of Madrid commented upon it in a way that must have deeply impressed every thoughtful reader. There is room here merely to mention the following incidents referred to by that writer, The first was a false alarm of tire in the church, creating a rush to the doors in which a young woman was trodden to death. The second was the falling of an electric light in the street near a dense group of people occasioning such a fright that persons were overthrown and bones were broken. The third was when the artillery was firing a salute in honor of the Virgin on the day of her coronation when two of the artillery men had their arms blown away and their faces so terribly injured that they cried to be killed on the spot. The writer of the article calls these "The Three Miracles of the Virgin"; in this the most notable week of her existence. In view of this he boldly asserts that the immense majority of Roman Catholics who assist at these ceremonies and processions, know that the piece of wood which is roughly carved into the form of a human figure, which they profanely proclaim is endowed with miraculous powers, has no such virtue whatever, and that to the immense majority the whole thing is a blasphemous farce. All these events led to the awakening Of interest in the Protestant pastor and his work, and especially so as he was continually attacked by the preaching friars, so that there was a larger attendance on the chapel services than therehad been before for a long time. After the summer vacation the schools opened with some seventy children in attendance, and in the month of October 1 decided to establish a kindergarten for the youngest children of the school. I �Vol 59, No. 12. | imported from the United States the material needed and had the low tables tot the little children made in Bilbao at an expense of about £3; the supplies from the United States cost £4 arid the freight charges and duties some £ 2 more, making a total cash outlay of some £9. The teacher of these thirty little children is one of the bright girls graduated from the International Institute, in lliarritz, in June of last year. This advance in our educational work has very much pleased the parents of the children and has attracted considerable attention in the community, as I think it is the only kindergarten in the city. I WM present at the special exercises of the children of the schools on Christmas day and evening. It was a beautiful sight to see. The pulpit furniture was removed and the platform increased in size and the whole chapel was prettily adorned with greens brought in by the children from the fields, and potted plants were loaned by friends, members of the congregation. A large number of the children took part in the exercises of declamation, dialogue and song, before the audience that crowded the chapel to the doors, and that greatly pleased both young and old. ( )f course in such an assembly as fills the chapel on these anniversary occasions by far the larger part are Roman Catholics, and we consider it one of the best means by which to attract them within reach of the Gospel, which at such times is proclaimed to them by the lips of their own children. Not a few who have been brought to the knowledge of the truth in our different missions have received their first impression in one or another of our children's festivals. The pastor has told me of a pleasant occurrence on the night of the outgoing year and century and the incoming of the new. The city and military authorities sent out that night several bands of music to entertain the people at the midnight hour. It was the band of the most noted regiment in Bilbao that was assigned to our quarter of the city. As midnight approached the pastor with a number of friends was singing out the old year in his house with hymns appropriate to the occasion when the military band also began to play. Immediately the family in the Protestant house ceased its singing and going to the balcony listened to the music of the soldiers and joined in the applause that followed the first piece. Then they resumed their own singing which was followed by applause from the street. Then the bantl played again and so on through a number of pieces, the music and applause from one side and the other amicably and enthusiastically alternating. The 169 THE FRIEND. members of the military band themselves. one of whom had at one time been a scholar at Sr. Marques' school, applauded the Protestant singers, together with many who surrounded them in the street. The evangelical work jn the mines, which has always been an important and interesting part of the pastor's mission. has lately been somewhat limited by the lack of suitable rooms in which to hold the meetings as well as by the superintendence of the school in Bilbao in which he is effectively the daily teacher of the boys. Hut notwithstanding this, almost every week he is able to make short visits to one or another place in that district, so maintaining his friendly relations and. continually extending the circle of the Gospel influence in that interesting field The number of communicants at the end of the year was seventy, and at tin last celebration of the Lord's Supper at the end of March, five new member: were admitted on profession of faith. The Tuesday evening Bible class is an active society of Christian Endeavor, in which all take part, and has contributed not only to the maintenance of Christian life in the Church, but also to the intellectual development and persona1 manliness of the boys and young men who have become deeply interested in these exercises. the persecution Notwithstanding which never ceases on the part of the neighboring conventual establishments, for the purpose of breaking up our schools, they have sustained through the year an average attendance of about one hundred children. The Sunday School embraces nearly all the children of the day school and is an important element in the church life. The Church anil congregation as well as myself thank the Lord for his blessings during the year; and we also thank the good friends in Great Britain who have not forgotten us in their prayers and who have remembered us with their material gifts from time to time.

I presume that this cheek will be presented to you in due time. The check amounts to Si 73 or 717 marks and 82 pfennigs in (iernian money. We are so glad to have this long waited for roof iron and today we tore down the thatch on one side of the house and replaced it with good roof iron. We also made gutters from lumber and are nowready to receive good rain water when the windows of heaven are opened again. Tomorrow we shall begin with the platform in our new church and when finished with this we shall 1). Y. put up ihe west veranda. Praise God for His goodness to us. As you will notice lumber is somewhat high here, but the roof iron (Bx2 ft.) is very reasonable. We bought this material much cheaper than the local traders. However, till we would add freight from S. F. to here, our gain would be very limited not speaking of the uncertainty of receiving it. Well praise the Lord, the little Mission home on Nauru is finished, i.e., will be finished in a few weeks. There will be no further expense for the mission premises except perhaps for painting now and then, which we must not neglect in this climate. White ants are quite bad here. We are glad that it is over, we have spent much prayer and thought over this matter. We trust that our many friends will help to meet this heavy debt. This money with the $115 which you (we trust) have sent to P. I. Co., Sidney, will make a grand total of about $288, which must be the final outlay for his part of bur work. May God richly bless all who have thus far been so much interested in our work; may they continue to remember us. God willing we shall be able to baptize a little company of believers Sabbath, July 21. 1901. A grand day for our little island, when the first ones shall enter the visible Church of Christ. May God keep them and us faithful. Pray for us. On Sabbath evening, July 10, we hope to dedicate our beautiful little church building to Jehovah. We have bought some lumber (out of contribution money 1 for a nice altar or platform, while the people themselves bought two large and several small lamps, which will help to brighten up our Sabbath evening services. Midweek prayer meeting we hold in the schoolhouse. The people have furthermore ordered a large church bell which we trust to receive about the end of the year. The people are very proud of their church, especially since they have heard from visitors that there are few native churches like theirs. May many find the I>ord Jesus Christ in this House of Prayer on Nauru. Thursday, July 1411. we expect to have �170 our first annual closing exercises and picnic of our day school. The children are very happy about it and can scarcely await the day. There will be singing of hytnns, essays, a few hours of games to be followed perhaps with a modest feast of rice and pork and young cocoanuts. I enclose two examples of writing by children who had no idea of writing 01 school when we Opened our school in March, 1900. 'Today they can write and read fluently.

In the States the practical qualities of the League ami its work have won for it the co-operation of the temperance people of all political parties and all religious faiths. All evangelical denominations are heartily advocating it; Archbishop Ireland is vice president of the national organization, while Bishop W'aterson and other Catholics are active workers, and Hebrew rabbis, with others, are federating against the evil which destroys the home, the church and the state. And here, in this group of lovely islands, all friends of the cross, the Hag, or humanity, are invited to put in their oars and pull together for the relief and progress of all classes and for all good interests here represented.

'There seems to be a pernicious tendency in the authorities just now to multiply both liquor and beer saloons throughout the city, which needs to be ictively resisted by all good citizens.

At the close of the services, subscriptions for the support of the League were taken up. Apparently the congregation made a liberal response to the call. Protest Against Star Saloon. Unfavorable sentiment has been aroused against the continuation ol the "Star Saloon," located near the teiniinu' of the tram line at Palania, which is practically at the entrance to the grounds of the Kainehaineha schools. This has been accomplished through the medium of a petition which has been widely circulated in the city, protesting against its establishment there. 'The students of the schools were among the first to raise their voices in protest, and through them the Anti-Saloon League has taken up the matter. The petition reads as follows : 'To the Honorable 'Treasurer of the Territory of I lawaii: We, the teachers, students, patrons and friends of the Kamehainelia schools, instituted ami endowed hv the beneficence of Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop for the education and elevation of the Hawaiian people, do most earnestly petitio.l and pray thai you will give these schools your potential protection by rei'usi g any license for the sale or distribution of beer, wine, spirits, or oilier alcoholic beverage, within the limit of at least onehalf mile, the usual limit is much longe of the said school grounds.

Mr. Tstiji of Paia is rejoicing in having with him his wife and two children. We were pleased one Sunday afternoon to meet with him and his llainakuapokn congregation at the Japanese church of tha place. The house was full and a number stood at the entrance. Mr. Lindsay expects soon to take down the old empty church-building near by and put it up in the Portuguese quarter of Paia where Mr. Silva is living. Once in possession of a church-building Mr. Silva can do more effective work. 'The one bright spot in all W'ailuku is the compound where the Social Settlement and its allied buildings stand. It is nice to find there Christian people of your OWIi sort ; they seem so happy at their work and it is so much appreciated. Mr. Ten Ah Lin is certainly a glad man, his face shows it. The boys in Social I [all do not look as if something unpleasant were to be sprung on them, and what they get is wholesome. Following the example of the other associations, that of Maui and Molokai voted to set apart half a day at each semi-annual meeting for general theological instruction. 'The course for the next meeting is as follows: 'The Nature of God, Rev. (). Nawahine; Church History. Rev. J. kalino; Proofs of the Bible. Rev. E. M. Jesus' Work of Salvation, Rev. S. Kapu; Foreign Missions, Rev. 1). kaai: Chinch Government, Rev. E. S. Tinioteo; Criticism of Sermon Plans on Genesis 1:27, 2nd Ilanuna: clause. Rev. < >. P. Emerson. A strong resolution was passed by the Maui Association against the further licensing of any saloons. It was voted that a petition to this effect be sent the and his council praying not only that no more new licenses be granted, but also that on the expiration of their term, no old licenses be renewed on the islands of Maui and Molokai. Reverends Pali and Nawahine have been retired from active work, not only by their own action and the action of their respective churches, but also by the approval of the Maui and Molokai Associations. These men have done a good work. 'They have proved themselves in many a difficult situation to be pure and true and bravely loyal to their faith. On occasions (iovernor 173 THE FRIEND. they have shown not a little heroism. I During the political crisis of Mr. '93 Pali's convictions led him beyond the sympathies of most of his congregation and they left the old church. Now that the issues of those days are practically dead, the) are —some of them—coming back to their former church home and making up with their one-time pastor. Rev. I£. S. Timoteo, our special evangelist to the native churches is now doing a good work in W'ainee church Lahaina. Meetings began on Sunday the 17th of October and have been held every evening of the week since with the exception of Saturday evening. The meetings are being continued this week with good results. It is expected that those who have been holding separate meetings at Hale Aloha will soon come over in a hotly and attend services at the old church. Should this be done and a new and able pastor be secured for W'ainee church, something might again be accomplished by this once powerful organization in reaching the at present unchurched youth of Lahaina who spend their leisure hours, of which they appear to have liioiiy. about the saloons and in the billiard rooms of the town. ( >nc of the incidents of the meeting of the association at Wailuku was the examination and approval of P. F. Palea of Haiku for licensure. Palea was once a follower of kekipi. by whom he was ordained and placed in charge of a body of schismatics at Paauwela, Haiku. It was found that one reason Palea bad for leaving the Kekipi people was the fact that he could not bring his ethical convictions down to the level of their leader and he could not bring himself to call white black and black white. Palea had succeeded in stopping for a time the drunkenness that was prevalent in his kaauwela parish, but after a respite Mrs. X who was a leading spirit and a close connection of Air. kekipi, got tired of the quiet times they were having and inaugurated a kind of afternoon and evening "tea" where intoxicating drinks took the place of tea. Palea's complaints to his chief were unavailing. 'The ladvrelative was sustained in her innovations, and thereupon Palea retired from his pastorate and from the fellowship to return to what he now believes to be a body more ethically sound and scripturally consistent in its doctrines and in its life. Palea goes to Waihee to do church work. Chinese Mission, that there seems to be a fitness in asking room in its columns for a few words with reference to the dedication of another church building for the use of the Chinese. 'This occurred on November 3rd and was a most interesting ami impressive occasion. Sonic months since the directors of the Wailuku plantation most generously gave- to the Hawaiian Hoard one acre and a half of land in the town of Wailuku for religious and educational uses. 'This is on the extension of Market street, passing through one of the cane fields of the plantation, with a line view toward old Haleakala. A marvelous transformation has been wrought here within a year's time. The visitor to Wailuku is amazed to see the long stretch of beautiful lawns and gardens. surrounding tasteful and commodious buildings, devoted to varied and noble uses which testify to the energy, refined taste and devoted spirit of those who are seeking here to present the true spirit of Christianity to old and voting of all nationalities. On the corner of Main street stands "Alexander House" wor- thily perpetuating one of the noblest names in the missionary history of these islands. Its spacious and beautiful rooms are devoted to main uses. Here we find one of the finest kindergartens in the group with from sixty to seventy happy little ones in attendance, guided lovingly and wisely by Mrs. kuowlton and her assistants. 'Then there are the reading room and game room, with everything to attract and please, where Miss Huntingdon, with her classes in weaving and sewing for girls, clay modelling for the boys, bright social evenings of innocent recreation, and in numberless other ways is radiating a loving and beneficent influence, which is being widely felt. Next in order on this new and truly wonderful street comes the Chinese Church, of which mention will be made dater. Then still further on rises the comfortable and airy two-story building where the workers in all this busy hive have a restful and beautiful home. Miss Malone has shown splendid energy and enthusiasm in planning much of what has been lure realized, and in the raising of money, and in the wise use of the same. Most truly is she to he congratulated on the great success which has attended her efforts. The new Chinese Church building occupies a commanding position in the center of a finely graded lot.

In the rear is a large and most "inviting school room where Miss 'Turner aonduets her Mission School for Chinese boys and girls. Desks of the most approved modern style have been procured for the school from California. It is a model school-room, and a tilting setting for the good work which is being lure done. The Dedication Services were bell in the presence of a large and interested audience, composed of a number of different nationalities. 'The church was beautifully decorated foi the occasion with flowers grown mi the premises.

We are in the midst of stirring time-, both politically and religiously. The world notes political events but passes by as unimportant man} •* movement which is really of great significance, 'The Japanese churches have devoted the current year to special aggressive efforts to reach the millions with the gospel. Already the results have been remarkable. Wherever pastors or niissionaries have been located protracted series of meetings have been held, preceded by special meetings for prayer, and accom- panied by special methods for advertising ihe meetings; hundreds of converts have already been added to the churches, and between ten and twenty thousand have expressed the determination to "study" Christianity. 'These latter however must not be counted yet as converts, an error into which some seem to be falling. Mr. Mott came to Japan at just the strategic time to give this aggressive movement a great impulse, and also to focus the momentum and experience it had already secured upon work for the large student class, now numbering over 60,000 in the schools for higher education. On his arrival in Japan, Sept. 23d, lie found a large number of pastors, professors, Christian students and missionaries already filled with the evangelistic and praying spirit, waiting to be led by a commanding and inspiring leader to the grand work. Extensive and de.ailed preparations had been made previous to his arrival, so that the single month of his stay in Japan resulted in such an awakening among the students as fewbad had the faith to expect. It is an epochal event. Mr. Mott's first work was the holding of a convention in 'Tokyo, ( let. 36, of all the principal workers for students. The membership was limited to 140 workers; it included presidents and deans of all l liristian schools, 3 professors of government schools, 80 delegates from 28 student associations and 10 city associations, 20 pastors and laymen, and 25 missionaries. 'This was a notable conference whose inspiring influence will long remain. Mr. Mott's second purpose and perhaps his main work was the series ol evangelistic meetings specifically for .students in the chief educational centers of the land. In these addresses he pressed earnestly yet cautiously for full decision to follow Christ. The large amount of seed sowing quietly done during past years by faithful pastors, professors, and missionaries, made this method of work both possible and profitable. 'The numbers of decisions made immediately upon his searching sermons were: Seiidai 138, Tokyo 430, Kyoto 17(1, ( isaka 275, Okayama 206, Kutnamoto 316, Nagasaki 27, being a total of 1469. Of that number over 1,000 were students, and the rest young men in the cities. 'These were remarkable results when we consider that in each case Mr. Mott never addressed the same audience twice, and that in some cases, as at Okavania and Nagasaki, ho could not even remain to the close of the after meeting, being compelled to run for the train or the steamer. In each place effective conservation committees were immediately organized; the city young men were turned over to the care of the pastors, and the students taken into the Associations and formed into classes for regular instruction. Plans are also on foot, thanks to generous friends, for following up the work during the months to come by visits of �able evangelistic preachers especially adapted to students. F"ew more notable signs of the times in Japan can be found than the large audience of university students who gathered, in spite of a long continued rain, to hear Mr. Mott's address delivered in the university itself, on the "Power of Christianity among the Students of the World." In addition to his address to students, Mr. Mott also spoke several times to missionaries and others. His indefatigable energy enabled him to have interviews with many of the leading men of the land, the results of which we shall doubtless hear in due time. Truly this first year of the 20th century will long be remembered as a memorable year in the annals of the growth of the Kingdom of God in Japan. The unprecedented calls for workers, 'and openings for work emphasize appallingly both our lack of workers and our financial limitations. Would that all Christians and churches in the home land could see what we are seeing, and he led to realize that the speedy bringing of the Orient to Christ in a large measure depends upon their active consecration and sympathy.

In the felicitous phrasing of the Japanese youth, they may help in "dispersing gloom of our always industry."

The season of the Advent has been made one of rejoicing and festivity. But "He came unto his own, and his own received him not." We have celebrated his coming, but how many of us have received the Lord Jesus into our hearts? This dear Son of God comes knocking at our heart's doors, and claims to be admitted there as an abiding and cherished guest. It is there that his true advent must be made, if real and effectual. The Son of God put on mortal flesh for this purpose, that he might be seen and known of men, and his pure, heavenly loveliness be so revealed to us, that we should love him, and receive him into our inmost souls, there forever to abide. But this access the sin-clinging souls of men do not readily grant to him. We have long gone wrong. Many evil things have found lodgment and entrenched themselves within us, and the Lord Jesus cannot enter and dwell in us while these his enemies occupy his place. And so his true Advent is thwarted and nullified. 1., JANUARY, 1902. [No. i.

The new feast house at this village is a building about thirty feet long and twenty feet wide; it is entirely open at one end. On three sides is built a sort of platform, three feet high and four feet wide, where the guests specially honored lounge. As we came in sight of this building the crowd of natives lying about under the trees rose as a token of respect. Edgar, a man who speaks some English and dresses like a white man, came forward and escorted us to the seat on the platform kept for us near Nanakin and his wife. There were two chairs for us while the natives sat on the floor. In the center of the building were six large piles of stones with hot fires burning inside. Soon after we arrived a number of men with no clothing except their kauls, came in with long poles and began punching the red-hot rocks apart. The heat was intense. Fortunately we were situated where the sea breeze fanned us and blew the heat the other way. As soon as the piles of rocks were knocked down, great baskets of bread fruit, yam and "mar" were hurriedly passed to the men at the fires, and they emptied them on to the hot rocks, and with poles and tongs covered the food with some of the rocks and on top of it all piled green leaves and grass to hold in the heat. Ten roasted pigs were carried in from a place outside where they had been cooked, and these were placed over a pit in front of Xanakin. Great quantities of uncooked yam were placed under the trees just outside the door where Xanakin sat. This food and the pigs were then divided among the people. Only those of high rank received any pork. They count th missionaries with their chiefs, and the largest and best young pig was given to us to carry home, also a fine yam which was so large it required two men to carry it. When the food in the "urn" was done, the rocks were taken off and the articles placed in baskets, all the people receiving an abundance. They knew our way of eating differed from theirs and I think the more civilized were ashamed to have us watch them, so we were invited over to Edgar's house. He had taken our boys over previously to help arrange dinner for us. The house has two small rooms built of lumber. Edgar is quite progressive and has a few chairs, an ancient bureau, and a small table, that is quite aristocratic. The table had a cloth on it, and a bouquet placed in the center. The dinner consisted of yam, hardman, pigeons in gravy, lorn beef, hot cakes made of scraped yam fried in lard, and candy. Evidently their only dishes were soup plates, and I saw why at �THE FRIEND. 3 Vol. 6b, No. i.] I had .been requested to bring a deep dish, for the pigeons and gravy were served in it. After dinner we returned to the feast house. They had music (?) and drills for entertainment. Young men marched in to the music of an old accordion and went through a drill which would startle a Delsarte class. Part of the time they sang, but no two were in the same key and the tune was a weird one, which seemed to go in a circle and had no place to stop, so we were not particularly charmed. A long procession of men, each carrying an immense stock of sugar cane, came in and placed the cane in a great pile in front of Xanakin. When we were ready to start home we discovered quite a little procession was ready to accompany us and help our boys carry the roast pig, yam, baskets of cooked bread fruit, sugar cane and other things which had been given to us. It is the custom in Micronesia for all the people in a neighborhood (where it it Christian) to come together each evening for prayers. Every evening about seven o'clock some of the boys blow the horn (a very large shell which makes a noise like a fog horn) and the people gather here at the church. No one lives on the mission land except the native preacher and his family, but usually there arc a number of others about his house, and a few natives come from quite a distance; frequently there are twenty or even thirty present at prayers. The people have been in the habit of singing a song or two and offering a prayer, with a few words from the preacher, perhaps. But neither here nor at Kiti nor Mant did they read any Scripture before we came. The Call to the Universal Day of Prayer for Students. For several years the Christian student of Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Holland, France, Switzerland, the United States, Canada, South Africa, Australasia, and also Japan, China, India, Ceylon, and other mission lands, have united in observing the second Sunday of February as a Universal Day of Prayer for Students. Reports received from over thirty countries give facts showing that the observance of this day of prayer has been attended with most graitfying spiritual results in all parts of the world. The General Committee of the World's Student Christian Federation, composed of official representatives of all these movements, hereby calls upon all Christian student organizations, and upon Christians in general, to observe Sunday, February 9th, 1902, as a movements day of special prayer on behalf of students. It is believed by leaders in Christian work among students that there is indeed great need of united prayer for students. The past few years have witnessed an unprecedented multiplication of Christian student organizations and a world-wide extension of the student Christian movement. There is needed a correspondingly great intensive work. This must conic in large degree through prayer. The difficulties and perils in the pathway of the student movement are Xo field is many, subtle, and great. without its difficulties, problems, and dangers. Prayer is an essential factor in removing all these hindrances. The opportunities for usefulness which today confront the student movement in every land are greater and more inspiring than ever. God alone can enable us to recognize and improve these opportunities. The words of St. Paul to the Corinthians are expressive of the present position of the student movement, "A great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries." Above all it must be borne in mind that the student movement came into being as a spiritual movement, and such it must remain if it is to accomplisH its mission in the world. Xo movement can preserve its spirituality apart from God, and lie manifests His presence and power in answer to prayer. In view of considerations like these it is hoped that the coming Universal Day of Prayer for Students may be more widely and faithfully observed than in any preceding year. A few suggestions are given to facilitate making the most out of the day: (i) If practicable let more than one day be observed. In some placet it has been found desirable to devote the Saturday preceding the Day of Prayer to preparatory services. In other cases the following Monday is used for special student evangelistic meetings. (2) Let there be meetings of earnest Christian students given up largely if not entirely to intercession. In connection with this Call are given a number of objects for praise and intercession. (3) There should be also at least one meeting for all students in which the aim shall be to present the claims upon them of Christ as Savior and Lord. (4) This Call should be brought to the attention of Christian ministers and they should be requested to preach sermons designed to influence students for Christ, and to call forth on their behalf more prayer among Christians. The Call should also be reprinted in the religious press. Unbelief, indifference, and other difficulties, should not be permitted by any- one who is interested in the progress of the Kingdom of Christ among students to keep him from doing all in his power to enlist in their interest the definite and earnest prayers of Christians. The teachings of Christ Himself on united prayer, the prayer achievements of the early Christians, the signal triumphs of prayer in the life of all spiritual movements, should encourage us to work for and to expect a large spiritual fruitage in connection with the coming Day of Prayer.

Thanksgiving that the Christian students of the world are united in spirit and in effort to make Christ King. Thanksgiving that during the past year in many lands there have been spiritual awakeneings among students. Thanksgiving that in all parts of the world there is a growing interest in the study of the Word of God. Thanksgiving that the past year has witnessed encouraging spiritual developments among the students of some of the most difficult fields, for example, Belgium, Italy, Russia. Thanksgiving that among students throughout Christendom there is a deepening sense of responsibility for the evangelization of the world. OBJECTS FOR INTERCESSION. Pray that in all countries there may be an increase in the number of men who feel a burden of persona] responsibility for winning students to Christ. Pray that the missionary spirit in the universities of Christian lands may continue to grow in intensity and in helpfulness. Pray that the student movement may result in influencing students to bring to bear upon the social and political problems of their day the teachings and spirit of Christ. Pray that the Christian students of non-Christian lands may mightily further the evangelization of their own people. Pray that the results of the tour of the General Secretary of the Federation throughout the student centers of the Far East may be conserved and augmented. Pray that the next convention of the Federation, to be held in Denmark in �THE FRIEND. 4 Judgment of mankind. For any one of these conflicting opinions, it is not very difficult to find plausible support from the language used in different prophecies. To the writer's mind, the Preniillenarian view seems to be most clearly in accord with the language of prophecy, in both the Xew and the Old Testaments, and especially in Revelation. As to the precise time when the Lord is to return, it was evidently not intended that we should know. Utterly futile have been various attempts at arithmetical calculation of the time. There is, however, a most impressive line of indications pointing to a not very distant crisis and consummation in this world's history. The present progressive changes in Civilization, in Social Order, in Political affairs, seem full of portent. All things seem to be hastening with accelerating speed towards a great Crisis. There seems to be a general tendency towards a Better Day, yet the Powers of Evil are most formidable. The rising Sun of Righteous reorganization of Society is enveloped in thickest clouds. At such a portentous time, the Christian's expectation of a great Heavenly interposition by the Lord of the Kingdom imparts confidence and courage. We are not preaching the Gospel of Peace, Repentance and Righteousness unsupported. There is a vast Heavenly reserve of force ready to act at the critical time. The Church is to go forward with fullest assurance in its great work of preaching the Gospel to the ends of the earth, and making Christ known to all mankind. In His own time and way be will make the victory complete. August, 1902, may exert a helpful influence on the spiritual life of the students of all lands. Christ's Second Coming. At a meeting of the Ministerial Union on December 16th Rev. B. L. Howe, pastor of a Second Advent Church, read a paper on this subject, confining him- self mainly to the Scripture prophecies, without indulging in their interpretation. This was followed by a full hour of earnest discussion, developing various and adverse views. Some of the speakers expressed a strong sense of the great importance of belief in this doctrine to the spiritual life of Christians, others doubting it. The apostle Paul certainly held a very strong belief that the Lord Jesus would again appear from heaven in great power and glory. He especially exhorted the Thessalonian Christians to be widely awake respecting that coming event. It seems clear that Paul expected that event to occur within his own life-time. In that he was mistaken, since it has not yet taken place. As recorded in Mark 13: 32, the Lord expressly told his disciples that he did not know when his great appearing would take place. The time seems to have been divinely left uncertain, so that the new and young Church might feel the fullest stimulus of that great hope, without thinking it to be postponed to a far distant future. Their strong expectation of the Lord's reappearing certainly acted as a great incentive to zeal and support to steadfastness amid their terrible persecutions. After the lapse of many ages of delay in the fulfilment of this great prophecy, modern Christians very generally adopted a belief that the world is to lie gradually converted to Christ by existing spiritual agencies, and that a long "milleniuni" of earthly holiness is to elapse, an age of universal righteousness and peace, after which Christ will come to the General Judgment Day. Many however, the present writer included, interpret the prophecies to mean that our Lord will come in person to give the victory and usher in the Millenium, so establishing his Kingdom on earth. We are called Pre-millenarians, the larger body Post-millenarians. Both parties believe in the complete overthrow of sin in the world, and in the establishment of a purified social state of justice, holiness, and happiness. Unless we are mistaken, the denomination known as Seventh-day Adventists differ from our view in expecting at Christ's Advent a complete dissolution of present earthly conditions, and the final Dr. L. M. Hartley, the superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, has retired on account of the failure of the health of Mrs. Hartley in this climate. This is greatly to the regret of the friends of this important work. It is however cheering to know that the Rev. \V. 11. Rice will take Dr. Hartley's place in the work, which we may believe will be carried on with energy and ability. Such work is greatly needed in order to resist the lately growing tendency to multiply saloons in city and country. Hilo Boarding School Changes.

The whole is on a commanding site, with a fine view of Hilo city and bay. The new buildings are expected to cost $15,000 each. The money is not yet all in sight, but many substantial promises have been made, and the necessary amount is confidently expected. The girls are to he taught all the domestic arts, as well as other branches of industrial training. The boys are already being taught various trades. The different crops grown on the premises for the food of the scholars have long given ample facility for instruction in agriculture. Sixty-eight boys are in attendance at the present time. The course of training covers seven years. The Hilo Boarding School was founded in 1836 by the missionary Rev. David B. Lyman, whose grandson is the present principal, and is conducting the important changes in progress. There is an endowment of $40,000, which goes far towards maintaining the ordinary expenses of the school. Episcopal Changes Agreed to. A lengthy meeting of the Synod of the Anglican Church in Hawaii was held during the first half of December. It resulted in determining that on April ist, 1902, the present diocese of Honolulu will become a missionary district of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States. It also transpired that the acceptance of this change by the General Convention in San Francisco had been facilitated by a subscription of certain members of the Church in Honolulu of $1,500 for five years towards the stipend of a new Bishop, to be a person not at present ministering in Hawaii. Although the sessions of the Synod were not free from acrimonious expressions, it is pleasant to record that they closed in an amicable manner, and with resolutions of regard and sympathy for the retiring Bishop. Dr. Willis during his long episcopate has shown himself a devoted and laborious worker, and of much public and private benevolence. He now expresses doubt whether he shall return to England, or remain in Hawaii. Preparations have begun for new buildings for the Hilo Boarding School, the old historic institution where so many A Missionary for Mindanao. j noble and successful Hawaiian men began their early training.

The work of fitting it up with the powerful machinery provided, will proceed immediately. Operations on the Bar will soon be begun. It may now be anticipated that before the end of this year it will be practicable for large Steamers to enter that harbor. This will be the beginning of a great period of commercial progress for Hawaii, by the provision of a firstclass commercial port, as well as a great United States Xaval Station. Preparations are being made for the immediate dredging of the whole harbor of Honolulu to a depth of 30 feet below low water. This is properly the work of the United States Government. But the need of the improvement is too urgent to wait for the action of Congress, and it will be done by the Territory. The deepening is especially needed on account of the Siberia and Korea, the big liners of the Pacific Mail Company which are expected soon to arrive at this port. �THE FRIEND. 6 Record of Events.

Pelekunu and Wailau. These two lonely valleys on the north island'of Molnkai form one under the care of Rev. G. W. Koparish, lopapeta. About eighty people live in one valley and between fifty and sixty in the other. The chief industry carried on by tliem is taro culture. There is very little chance for fishing, a few mats are made and some awa is grown. When the taro business is at its height, sometimes six hundred or more paiai are shipped weekly. In the winter season these valleys are very inaccessible. (ireat waves pound on a boulder-covered beach and make landing there impossible at all seasons of thcyear. The only approach by boat to Peiekuiui is under the lee of a cliff which reaches out from the side of the valley. It has a sort of rocky shelf, up against which boats can run at intervals and give the passengers a chance to jump for the shore. They must then climb up the face of the cliff for a couple of rods and follow a zigzag path that finally descends into the valley. As the landings are often made in the darkness of the early dawn, the course of the boat and the steps of the traveller have to be guided by torches that flare up along the pathway on the face of the cliff, casting an uncertain light on the rocks and waves beneath. It is by no means a comfortable landing for either shoreman or sailor. The only other road into or out of Pelekunu valley is up at its head and over the peak of Kilohana which has an attitude of over 5.000 feet. Starting from the mouth of the valley, the traveller has to cross and recross the valley bed of the stream many times and then wind his way along a steep ridge that runs up Hands, as the face of the mountain. well as feet, have to be engaged in the laborious ascent, which takes from three to four hours according to the agility and strength of the climber. All luggage has to be strapped to the back. They tell of a strong kukini (runner) who carried a pig over the road and down into the valley, but when he had accomplished the feat it was found that the ribs of the pig, as he lay across the man's back, had been broken by the jolts of the rough descent. From the top of the mountain the descent to Kamalo requires side of the two or three hours more of comparatively easy mountain travel. The mountains that pile up and form a sort of semi-circle behind and to the south of the three valleys of YVaikolu, Pclekunu and Wailau catch the clouds and form the water-shed of the island, most of the waters being deflected back into these valleys, each of which is shut off from me other by arms of the mountain and has a branching water system of its own. Millions upon millions of gallons of water thus hourly run to waste which might be utilized in fertilizing the broad, deep, rich, though arid, lands of western Molokai. The people of Pclekunu have a school attended by more than twenty pupils. There is also a church where services are held every Sunday, the deacons taking turns in officiating. The pastor, who is supposed to be a resident ol Wailau, can at best, without a great deal of labor, make Only occasional trips to Pelckunu. To get there he must go by canoe or boat, or when that is impracticable, be must wade up the Wailau stream to its head waters, climb out of the valley over a spur of the mountain-range and descend into the valley of Mapulchu. Thence he must take the public road to Kamalo, where he must begin again to climb, this time to the top of the island where Ml. Kilohana lifts its head, and then descend, to the shore through the head-waters of Pclekunu valley. Such a visit would take a strong man and two days of difficult travel, after which it would be -pleasant to rest for a week. The people of Pclekunu can all easily be got to church, as they live within gunshot of each other and are not so supplied with novelties as to make their occasional church-going uninteresting. I am told that the dampness of the valley, caused by the almost continuous rainfall of winter, the northern exposure and the lofty mountain walls that shut it in on the other three sides, make it malarial. Doubtless the vast amount of vendure which the valley contains has its effect. Here is a region practically undisturbed by cattle or horses or the browsing deer or goat. It should be kept so, that it may continue to give its perennial water supply which some future enterprise may apply to use. With the exception of two or three Chinamen and two Japanese, all the inhabitants of these valleys are Hawaiians, who live a secluded peaceful life of labor. Everything is primitive. There are no stores to go to for supplies, and whoever lands there must live on the food of the people. We ate dried squid, taro, paiai and chicken and fared well. Xature lends its charm to this interesting region. The nights are long and 7 THE FRIEND, Vol. 60, Xo. I.] the day are short and the people have few cares to burden them. The Work in the North Pacific MissionaryInstiue. By Rev. John Leadingham. After the period of evangelistic work which occupied the greater part of last year, the North Pacific Missionary Institute took up regular school work again at the usual time this year. The nationality of the students and the pro vision made for their instruction, however, plainly show the transitional stage through which the school is passing. When it opened there were seven students who wished to enter—one old student and six new ones: of which three were Hawaiians and three Japanese. Of the three new Hawaiian students, two were approved by the Oahu Association at its October meeting, while approval was withheld from the third until some technicalities which stood in his way could be satisfactorily adjusted. This young man has however without being granted aid or being admitted to standing as a member of the school, been permitted to attend the classes as he has been able. ()f the three Japanese students, one is a graduate of the Hilo Hoys' Hoarding School, and is qualified to carry on the work. The other two were still deficient in their knowledge of English and hence not able to take the same work as the others; and so in order to save the expense of additional teaching, one of them was put into Mills Institute for instruction in English and the other who found a boarding place with Rev. Mr. Okumura, attends the government school on Beretania street. There are, therefore, seven young men in the line of preparation for the ministry, although only five of them receive instruction in the institute. As yet Mr. Leadingham has been the only teacher this year. Rev. Mr. Parker's other duties have kept him from his customary share in the work. It is hoped that with the new year he may again find time to take up the work. The classes are studying Church History, Moral Science and the Life of Christ as embodied in the four Gospels. This latter study ; s carried on constructively, each student preparing a life of Christ of his own from the data gathered. Several of the former students who have fields in Honolulu and vicinity still have homes on the school premises. These are Mr. David Ai, who assists Mr. Parker in Kawaiahao Church; Mr. Henry Poepoe, who is assistant pastor of Kaumakapili Church; Rev. Wm. K. �8 Poai, the pastor of the Churches of Kalihi and Moanalua, and Rev. L. K. Kakani, assistant editor of the Hoahana, the Sunday School quarterly used in the Hawaiian Churches. These men are doing effective work in their various places. In the past few years the school has given instruction to one Portuguese and several Chinese students. The presence of the Japanese this year would seem to prophesy that in the not distant future these various nationalities will figure more largely in the membership of the school. Janury,1902. THE FRIEND. We tried to make clear to them how much trouble the opium and the gambling made for them, and that Christ could help them to overcome these habits. They gave good attention and often would say, "that is good." The men seemed much pleased and asked us to come again. I trust it brings a little sunshine into their hard toilsome lives, where there is so little of joy and brightness. There were many similar meetings held in other Chinese camps on the island, and every where they seemed glad to see us.

Advertiser. How do we live in Zamboanga, do you ask? Well, perhaps an answer to this question will prove of interest to our old friends in Hawaii. To give that answer in a word, we lead a very simple life. In a former letter it was said that the majority of the people of this town live in thatch houses; and we are in the majority. ■ These houses usually stand high above the ground, leaving room for a first story to be used for such purposes other than residence as the owner may determine. With the Spaniards it was a favorite place for the carriage, and even for the horse and cow. Now it is not at all uncommon for the first floors of the residences of "our best people" to be used for the storage or sale of merchandise. Even the pretentious palace of the rajah, or king, of the Moros has two Chinese stores on the ground floor. This custom of living only on the second floor, or at least as high as the second floor, probably originated in considerations of health. Physicians strongly advise all Americans coming to this country to conform with this custom, which prevails in other parts of the islands no less than in Zamboanga. Some tribes -of the natives of the island of Mindanao have the interesting custom of building their houses high in the trees. Some of these houses stand fifty or sixty feet from the ground, and are reached by rattan ladders, which are drawn up at night. This custom seems to have had its origin in the less interesting custom of other natives of thrusting their spears up through the frail floors, generally made of splints of bamboo, on which their enemies sleep—just to tickle them in the ribs; so we come back to the question of health. 1 lere let me say that the deadliness of our climate has been very much overworked abroad. Soldiers stationed on Mindanao and Jolo make better health records than those stationed in the United States. So when charging up to the war the deaths due to disease, please omit those few which occur in this region. "Return we to our muttons," and that reminds me that mutton and beef are luxuries such as we are not able to enjoy in our new home. Pork can be had �at the market almost any day, but turtle meat is coming to be our stand-by. Fish is abundant and cheap, but not of first quality. Chickens are used as food here to such an extent as to wear out one's appetite. Eggs, also, are abundant, but frequently only "tolerably good." Sweet potatoes are plentiful, but of bad quality. For the most part they are gathered wild from the mountain regions. Bananas are plentiful, cheap, and of good quality. This is about the list of things we found in the markets on our arrival. "Groceries!" exclaimed a leading merchant. of whom I had made inquiries. "Groceries! If you want copra or rice 1 can get it for you; but groceries are not to lie had in this town." Yet we have been able to get a very limited supply, though we had to wait for a steamer from Singapore to bring us so common a thing as a bag of flour. It was amusing to read, under the gorgeous Chinese label which decorated the bag, the name of a California mill. Servants? Well, yes; I think we have servants here. In fact, we seem to have the solution of the whole servant question in the "muchacho," or boy. The muchacho can do but one kind of work, and to that he gives his whole attention. One is called the cook —not that he knows anything about cooking, but because he likes to watch the lady of the bouse cook. Yet he learns rapidly, and within a week knows how to turn off the flame of an oil stove. Hut this is not "cooking," and is apt to result unsatisfactorily. Unless he is told when to turn it off and is watched while he does it, the flame is apt to burn on from onemeal to another, unless the oil in the tank is all burned out. All this confusion results from trying to get the muchacho away from his favorite calling. The cook cannot wash dishes, and he refuses to compromise himself with trying. He has "cooked" for all the principal people, past or present, on the island, and he has always had a dishwasher. The dish-washer may not know your way, but, like the cook, he is quick to learn. He will put his dish-pan on the floor, sit down by it to do his work, and stand the dishes in the sun about the kitchen door to dry, unless you object. Put when you have once shown him your way he will always follow- it thereafter—provided you stand by and compel him to do so, vi et annis. Another muchacho acknowledges his obligations to sweep the floors, carry in water and wait on the table, lie waits on the table better than he does anything else, because he is under closer supervision. As to his house-work, he could probably give points to the most negligent servant who ever swept a bach- THE FRIEND. 9 Vol. 60, No. I.] the southeast side of Pearl lochs, including the tract where the railway first strikes the shores. A large breadth of this land is alreirdy planted with cane by the Honolulu Plantation. elor's room in Hawaii. But the most marked characteristic of this muchacho which he shares also with the dish-washer, is the facility with which he can get out of the way of his work. As inuchachos do not live at the house of the employer, they have to be watched with the greatest of care or they will "disappear like the morning dew." But they will return very promptly when the pleasures of the town pall upon their sated souls. Great is the muchacho! The muchacho has an unfortunate reputation for his "taking ways," but we have not found this reputation deserved. We trust him as we trusted servants in Hawaii, and have not found our trust betrayed. Since coming to this town, a little more than two months ago, I have travelled about twelve hundred miles on official business. Traveling here is much more difficult and unsatisfactory than in Hawaii. Twice within the last week I have passed along a coast for a hundred miles without seeing a house, though I did sec some evidences of the existence of habitations in the interior. Of course, there are no roads on such coasts, and my traveling must be by sea, either in a coasting steamer or in a Moro boat. For the most part I am studying the situation and the people. What 1 learn has no place in this letter, but will be told later. Henry S. Townsend. Zamboanga, Mindanao, Nov. 23, 1901. Recent Martyrs in China. "The careful estimate of Dr. J. R. Hykes, agent of the American Bible Society in China, is that 183 Protestant missionaries (60 men, 75 women and 48 children) were martyred, and the number of native Christians (including Roman Catholics) he places as h'gh as 40,-000."—Chinese Recorder. "The North China Mission lay in the very track of the Boxer whirlwind, which swept everything foreign before it, and left a bloody ruin in its train. One by one the mission premises at Pinching, Paotingfu, Peking, Tungcho and Kalgan were visited by robbers, sacked and burned to the ground. At Tungcho the college campus, where once stood Williams hall, and four new and commodious houses, surrounded by happy life, was plowed and sowed to corn. Happily the missionaries all escaped alive, except at Paotingfu, where Mr. Pitkin, Miss Morrill and Miss Gould, unable to escape and cut off from relief, after weary days of waiting, were captured and slain. Many native Christians with their families and friends also shared in the massacre, these losses falling with especial weight upon the churches of Tungcho, Peking and I Paotingfu.

O. 11. Gulick, we are enabled to present, in an abridged form, the following report of his work on Pleasant Island, or Nauru, made by Mr. dc la Porte, the missionary of the Central Union Church. 18 16 l.r Nauru, Sept. 26, 1901. > My Dear Sir and Brother in Christ: 16 * * * Two years have been spent in our present field of labor. During this first year of the new century, light has been brought to many dark souls. More 17 than 150 people, among whom are many 17 19 young men and women, have signified 19 their desire to accept Jesus as their personal Savior, and are trying to live Christian lives. To many it meant a hard 16 16 17 17 We greatly regret to criticize adversely the attitude taken by Governor Dole towards the liquor traffic, because we thoroughly know him to be both an enlightened and conscientious official. Rut his long familiarity in dealing with the business seems to have rendered him in some degree insensible to its actual turpitude. We refer to bis expression which we heard him use, "I am not ashamed to say the government is in the business, and responsible to a large extent." It seems to us, that this is not the attitude which the Government can properly occupy towards a traffic in intoxicants which is devoted to tempting the purchasers. It may possibly be the duty of the government to .conduct dispensaries, where no inducements, temptations or solicitations are made to purchasers. But not so with saloons. The proper attitude of the government is that of a restricting and discouraging agency toward that which is evil and destructive to society, but which the law forbids it to suppress. The money derived from licenses should be regarded as in the nature of a fine going towards meeting the immense police and prison expenditure consequent on the evil traffic. struggle to cast off old heathen customs. They have to overcome much ridicule and opposition from those who hate the Word of God. We have had, without intermission, Sabbath services in the three stations occupied by us, and would gladly open another station if we had another helper. Nearly 500 people are willing to listen to the gospel on Sabbath mornings, which is about one-third of the population. We generally have morning and evening services at the main station and afternoon services at the out-stations. The singing in our services is also improving, but it means much hard work for Mrs. dc la Porte and Kenie as the people have little or no ear for music. We have about twenty young people who are being especially trained to lead the congregational singing. Oqr midweek prayer meetings are real seasons of refreshing and praise to God, and are attended by an average of about 200 people, principally young. As the people of Nauru do not live in compact villages, it is somewhat difficult to get those who live at a distance from the mission to come to evening services. However, some of the most faithful ones come in spite of the five or six miles they have to walk, and receive a blessing for it. Every second and fourth Friday in the month Mrs. dc la Porte and Kenie are having women's meetings, which are indeed a help to the mothers and girls on the island. Every first Friday in the month we have our consecration meeting for those who have, or desire baptism. Sabbath-school meets every Sabbath morning, attended by all who come to church. We translate the lessons for the people, and the younger ones and children commit them to memory. It is a rare occasion that any of the school children are missing at Sunday-school. William has charge and be knows how to get the attention of the people to the beautiful Bible stories. We deplore the fact that we have no S. S. picture rolls. Those discarded at home would be helpful to us. ()n Sabbath morning July 14, we were enabled to dedicate our new, beautiful little church. We had a grand dedication service, attended by more than 500 people, as well as by the lix'al magistrate and some of the other whites. Our choir sang the Te Ueuni as well as several hymns translated for the occasion. In the sermon Jehovah's great mercy in sending this people the Hread of Life was not overlooked. Nor were forgotten His servants in Honolulu who take such a practical interest in the Nauru people. It was a beautiful service, and with joy and peace in our hearts we reluctantly left the building. Last October we decided that we could no longer conduct our worship in the small, old tumble-down thatched building which was a relic of Tabora's time, anil that we should honor God with a building, such as the means of our people could afford. Most of the material could be found in the island; only for the altar and lamps a few hundred marks would be needed. The people were delighted with our plans, but had little idea of what a building we wanted, or these dear old men would have been less eager to go to work. The South Sea Islander is not a particular friend of hard work. Early in November they pulled down the old building. The first joy had somewhat abated, and the cocoanut logs for posts, and Pandanus logs for rafters were very slow in coming in, so that in March we had only the bare frame up. The old people had one excuse and then another for being slow, but at last they came out with the truth, and said that they were too weak to work any faster, which interpreted means too lazy. �12 There remained to be made about 3,5°0 pandanus thatch for the roof. About 12,000 sticks had to be cut and gathered in the bush for the walls. This was a most laborious task as each stick had to be whittled with a knife until it resembled a small batten so as to fit into its place. 15,000 fathoms of cocoanut cord were needed to tie the structure together. Nails were used only for the altar. As we wanted a raised floor, i.e., higher in the back of the church than near the altar, something like 30,000 baskets of nice clean coral gravel had to be brought from the beach. Lime had to be burned to whitewash the building, and many minor things to be done. Of course the large mats for the floor, and the neater ones for the platform could not be made until the rest should be finished. It was now the middle of March and so slow and listless was the work that it would take a year more to finish. We enlisted the school children to help the old people. Work they did from early mom until dark. We closed school until the House should be finished. They vied with each other. Some gathered sticks, others prepared them, and others fitted them into the walls. The larger girls made thatch, cocoanut cord and mats. The smaller children carried gravel from the beach, playing as they worked. Until the middle of May the mission premises were like a busy beehive. The children made lots of noise but did good work. The old people looked on with amazement. Never before did the children of the highest chiefs mingle with the lowest in manual labor. But was it not done for Jehovah? The children understood this better than those who remembered the awful times of war and heathenism. Under our supervision the little ones completed a building of which they are justly proud, especially of the little belltower. Considering the material which we have here, even strangers admire our church. On May Ist all was completed, with the exception of the altar (pulpit?). The lumber ordered for this did not arrive till late in June. It was paid for by the regular contribution money. Sixteen lamps were bought by the people individually. Two of these cost each 5,500 cocoanuts, while the smaller ones cost each 800. We have now ordered a church bell to cost $100. For this we had to collect 65,000 nuts, and sold them at the rate of $1.50 per 1,000. We trust to receive the bell later on in the year. October Ist, 1901. If July 14th was a good day to our souls, July 21st was a blessed day. We then baptized the first fruits of the work and so established the nucleus of Christ's visible Church on this Island.

Gulick and friends, will you �not especially remember us in your prayers for the sake of this blessed work. But how can we place these portions of Scripture in the hands of the people? We have no funds, no Mission Board to assist us, only our dear friends in Honolulu, who have so nobly assisted this work. And yet once more must we appeal to them. We do not feel that we should withhold the Word from our people any longer than necessary. Why cannot poor Nauru have a small hand press like other mission fields. We are willing enough to turn night into day, and print and bind these books if some kind friends would furnish us the needed little press, Not only portions of the Scriptures but all other 6chool-books could be prepared here on the spot. Should some kind friend feel disposed to help in this matter, it would be well for you, Mr. Gulick, to authorize us to order such a small press from Sydney, N. S. W. We think $50 to $100 might pay for press and type. In the meantime we shall pray about it and keep on translating. Oct. 18. Contributions. According to German law we take up two collections annually, viz.: in January and July. (Hir first collection July 1900, amounted to marks 143.; our second Jan. 1901, rose to marks 279, while that of July 1901 would have risen to m. 344-75. if we amltl have got the cash. As it is, only m. 171.75 were actually received, while the balance of m. 173 is yet to be paid. Our traders on Nauru are so heavily in debt that their firms refuse to advance them any cash. They can only get sufficient goods to buy nuts and a little food for their own use, and our people can buy no money with their nuts. So the mission must suffer, because bad, drunken men have contracted large debts in former days. I have communicated with the Commissioner and the firms, and hope for a favorable reply about getting sufficient cash on the island to afford the people an opportunity to contribute a little towards the Master's work. These traders charge the poor natives most exorbitant prices— 1 yard print for 100 cocoanuts, or 35 lbs. copra, or 52 cents per yard for goods worth 6 cents a yard in U. S. A. 50 lbs. flour are worth 2,000 nuts, 45 lbs. rice 1,500, a 1 lb. tin corned beef 150 nuts and other things in proportion. For each mark (0.23) cash the people must pay 165 cocoanuts. As we have had very little rain since April, nuts are now very scarce, and it is an open question whether we shall be able to collect the outstanding m. 173. Besides the new church-building we have put up several smaller out-houses during the year. A tank-house was put up on the arrival of Mrs. Castle's large wooden tank. This tank has been a bless- THE FRIEND. ing already, for without it we should have had to drink the bad-smelling surface water, at least during the last three months. God bless her for it. In June we received the lumber and roof-iron to complete our own house, which we did at once. We also gave it a new coat of paint, and may now call it finished. One corner of the verandah is boarded up for a store-room, which now gives us two larger and one smaller rooms in the house. So we are very comfortably housed. Oct. 30, 1901. That the Master's cause is gaining a strong hold in Nauru is an undisputed fact. The forces of the "Evil < )ne" are aware of this and therefore on the alert. All the power of the heathen party was at times directed against our work, but we have always won the victory. Last week a few of the worse characters on the island began the most immoral dance I have ever heard of. Both sexes participated in it in a nude state. They tried to induce our school children to join them, but only one boy from the main school could be tempted. We at once went and interviewed the dancers, showed them their errors, and offered p.-avers in their behalf. One party then dispersed, but the ringleaders of the second parly were not so complying. I then spoke about it to the magistrate, who was more than surprised to hear that such a going on within two miles of thing his house. He promised to look into the matter and punish the ringleaders. He has done so and forbidden all dances for the future. But we do not trust in the arm of flerh. Nov. ii, 1901. Last Saturday was just two years since we landed here. God has been very good to us all this time. We praise Him for what we have been permitted to accomplish since we arrived. April 7th will be three years since we sailed from Honolulu. Pray for us. Heathen superstitions are on the detlne, but nevertheless we find more than enough of them yet. Especially is this the case about fish. All the better kinds are tabooed for one and another reason. Only a few people dare to bring us fish, mostly children. Even then we have to bribe with hard bread, ribbons, etc. We are now building a boat for ourselves. William is a professional boat builder, and much material grows on this island. We hope soon to be independent with a good strong large fishing boat. The people of Nauru in their native state are anything but cleanly in their habits. Their low huts are the most wretched I have seen. Now by an enacted law, every house is receiving a thorough cleansing and overhauling. Clean gravel and new mats are also being put in. In their food the people are not much 13 Vol. 60, No. 2.] cleaner. The dirtiest women are employed to prepare it. Their favorite preparation is called Edano, made from pandanus. This is all the poor people have to eat, besides cocoanuts and toddy. At present, because of lack of rain, even this Edano has failed them. In the Master's name, Ph. A.de la Porte, Missionary. Letter from Rev. A. H. Smith, D.D. Pang Chuang, Shantung, China, Nov. 27th, 1901. Dear Dr. Bishop. It is a little more than a year since I wrote you last, and at that time we did not imagine that it would be so long ere we should be able to return to our field. But there were many hinderances, first the generally unquiet conditions, then illhealth, and the necessity of having more than one person to undertake the onerous task of arranging for the indemnities of our plundered and persecuted native Christians. At length a little past the middle of October we were able to reach here in good order, escorted by the soldiers of a General in Chihli, and later by those of Yuan Shih-k'ai the late Governor of this province. Dr. Peck, one of our station who has been sent to care for the station at Pao Ting Fu since his return last spring, preceded me by a few weeks, and busied himself in endeavoring to arrange for the payment of indemnities, but made little headway. On our arrival we found that he had that day sent the deputy back to the provincial Capital (Chi Nan Fu) with the word that he and I would soon follow to come to some terms with the Foreign Bureau there. We went within a week of our arrival, saw the Tao-t'ai at the head of the Foreign Bureau, and were only able to get from him 35 per cent of our reduced claims—which was little more than half of what we had hoped for, but was much better than some other missions had been able to secure. The fact that we were the very last of the Protestant Missions was in some respects an advantage, and in others the reverse. A large number of the Roman Catholic claims were still unsettled, and the sums granted to them will be much smaller than our proportion. We find the church-members more delighted to welcome us than they ever were before. If there ever had been the notion said to be so prevalent in Japan that the foreign missionaries can be dispensed with, that thought is now entirely dispelled. Their constant experiences of the inability of the most benevolent and energetic Chinese to get anything really done, has made them feel more than be- �14 fore that foreigners are indispensable. This is not an idea which we care to have fostered, especially as our Church was on the edge of self-support for two pastors, but we must recognize the .fact. Since we arrived we have delegations from all parts of our wide field, asking us to visit them, and in many cases offering places of worship if we could only "send a teacher." There has been a great deal of the "no-hclp-for-it" recanting in which some of the members either made a prostration at a temple, or at a series of them, under penalty of being killed if they did not. Some had sufficient stamina to resist this demand, but where it was firmly pressed far the greater number yielded, including some of those who had been helpers. We arc obliged to take account of the very imperfect development of their Christian life, and are trying to get them voluntarily to acknowledge their fault. Tn time this will all come about, and then it will be decided what cognizance is to be taken of it. After confession has been made, a restoration to church-privileges will follow in due course, and I have no doubt whatever that as one result the church will be much stronger than before, and that many like Peter, when restored will strengthen their brethren. There are also indications that there is to be a wide door opened, hitherto closed. Many are inquiring what this doctrine is which was supposed to have been toilfullv exterminated, but has come to life again, and is now as insistent as ever. The recent Imperial decrees ordering radical changes in the civil examinations tend to bring the Protestant Churches and their educational system into prominence. There never was a greater demand for all sorts of text-books, and it is hard for the presses to supply the demand. Whether China is to remain quiet or to be disturbed by another upheaval has been a question causing anxiety to many. But it must at least be admitted that there arc no signs whatever that there will be another outbreak like the last, and if ever there is a rising at all it will probably be in some of the central provinces where the terrible calamities of flood have prepared the way for restlessness among all classes. The future movements of the Court are a problem to all of us, but we fully expect it to return to Peking at no distant day—an event which will do more than any other to tranquilize the Empire. Our Station is reduced from three men to one, and from three single ladies to two.

The Bishop seems determined to emphasize that aspect of the case. It is to be noted, that the Second Congregation embodies the numerical majority as well as the main pecuniary and mental ability of that Church in these Islands. An Orphaned Family. Very sadly orphaned the other day J. S. B. Pratt, by the sudden death of their excellent mother. The little ones were from nine years to four days old. The deceased lady was known and beloved in this her native place for forty years as Katev Dickson, being a granddaughter of the eminent Dr. G. P.

A large circle of relatives and attached friends mourn their own bereavement, as well as the terrible deprivation of this sad group of little orphans and their stricken father. were the six young children of Dr. Mr. Twombly's Paper on Hawaii. Rev. A. S. Twombly at the Mohonk Conference last October read a paper, which we have received, entitled The Native Hawaiian of Yesterday and To-day. We desire to commend it as being sound, thoughtful, and accurately informed. It takes a well-considered and philosophical view of the various elements entering into the present political situation in Hawaii, which is justly regarded as far from hopeful, owing to the mental childhood of the large native majority of the voters, to whom the electoral franchise has been prematurely given. We have to demur at the writer's opinion that the American missionaries, arriving in 1820, "came a generation too late." A watchful Providence guided them here at the "strategic" moment, when the death of the imperious Kamchamcha had removed what would have been an insuperable obstacle to Christian teaching, the old chieftain being an inveterate idolater, and wedded to the tabus as an inseparable part of statecraft. It is true that the missionaries were too late to avert the destructive influences of a corrupt commerce. This does not affect the general justness of Mr. Twombly's discussion. Weddings in High Hawaiian Life. Some of our many readers abroad may desire to know the precise facts respecting the recent very noted marriages at San Francisco of Col. Samuel Parker to 15 THE FRIEND. the widow of the late James Campbell, and of Prince David Kawananakoa, to the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell. Mr. Campbell was a shrewd Scotchman who created in sugar planting at Lahaina, a fortune which at his death exceeded a million, and whose recent valuation reached two millions. This was left to his widow and four daughters, but was most wisely and carefully tied up under trustees for a very long period, beyond the reach of any spendthrift handling. Mrs. Campbell is an accomplished and travelled lady, the descendent of Hawaiian commoners, with one-fourth white blood. Col. Parker is the grandson of a prominent white lieutenant of Kamehameha, with chief blood on the female side. He owns an immense cattle ranch. He was Liliuokalani's Prime Minister when she was dethroned. Prince David is a nephew of the late dowager Queen Kapiolani, half of whose estate he inherited, and is a descendant of Kaumuarii, the king of Kauai eighty years ago. He would be the present heir to the throne, if it continued to exist. Both the bridegrooms are gentlemen of engaging manners and generous dispositions. Under the wise provisions of Mr. Campbell's will, they and their wives may long continue in the enjoyment of opulence. hardship to exile the unfortunate sufferers to a location far remote from their relatives and friends. Their places of segregation should be within reasonable distance from their homes. The hardship will be enhanced by being consigned to association with people of another race. (4) It is out of the power of the Federal Government to enact laws exiling people from the States where they belong. Even the State authorities cannot deport their citizens outside of their own bounds. The proposed law is wholly unconstitutional. It seems strange that a delegate of Hawaiian blood should propose a measure so repugnant to his own people as well as to ail others. Probably this evil bill will nu-et with deserved rejection from Congress. Disorderly Porto Ricans. There has been for a few weeks past a very disturbing outgrowth in Honolulu of burglary and of highway robbery. The offenders do not appear to be experts.

At present in the rural districts it is not uncommon to see natives drunk at all hours of the day, which years ago was an almost unheard-of thing. Travelling as I do through the group, having during the last thirteen years visited each of the larger islands more than twenty-five times, I have the opportunity to watch the condition of the natives and make yearly comparisons and I give it as my opinion that there never was so much drunkenness among them as there is Mr. Silva, of Paia, writes: "Our chapel is ready and was opened on the first Sunday of this month.

Dr. Scudder. After a visit of ten days, on the 28th of January, there sailed for Japan per steamer Gaelic, Rev. Doremus Scudder, D.D., and wife. Dr. Scudder has accepted a call from the Hawaiian Board, to he associated with Mr. Gulick in service for the 60,000 Japanese now upon our shores. Regarding the call for service in these islands as the voice of God, he resigned the pastorate of the church of Woburn, Mass., one of the largest and most flourishing Congregational churches in the vicinity of Boston. He goes to Japan for some months study of the language, after which he will return for permanent work in our midst. His grandfather, Rev. Dr. John Scudder, was one of the missionaries sent by the American Board to India about 80 years ago. Later the Arcot Mission of India was by mutual agreement, transferred to the care of the Dutch Reformed Mission Board; and not less than four or five of the sons of the pioneer became missionaries in the Arcot field. Among these was Rev. Henry M. Scudder, D.D., who later was for five years pastor of the Howard street church of San Francisco, and was for some years the pastor of one of the leading churches in Brooklyn, and was widely known as one of the most eloquent pjreachers in the States. His son, Rev. Doremus Scudder, was appointed a missionary of the American Board to Japan in 1885, and was located for five years in Niigata, where he made a successful acquisition of perhaps the most difficult language spoken among men. Family reasons lead to his return to the United States, where for the past twelve years he has been a pastor in Brooklyn and in Woburn. Those who heard his sermon of last Sabbath, in the Central Union Church, upon the "unspeakable gift of God," all, agree in the opinion of a member of the Hawaiian Board, that "We made no mistake in calling him to Hawaii." O. H. G. Anti-Saloon Rally. Thursday, January 30, was made a grand field day by the Anti-Saloon League. Meetings were held thrice in �18 the day. A morning gathering in the Y. M. C. A. hall. A Business Men's meeting in Castle & Cooke's assembly room. Evening meetings in Y. M. C. A. hall, in Kawaiahao Church * for Hawaiians, and in the Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese Churches. The meeting in Y. M. C. A. hall was attended by about 60 persons of the class most interested in the subject. Mr. Theodore Richards presided. Reports were given from the local field by representatives of the W. C. T. U., and of the Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese and Hawaiian races. Facts and figures were given in all the reports to show to what extent the liquor traffic is being carried on in the islands, and much was made of the heavy increase in four years' time of the number of saloons selling whisky and other spirituous liquors. Superintendent W. H. Rice of the Anti-Saloon League made a powerful address. He arraigned the present policy of the local government for permitting such a condition of affairs. Lorrin Andrews made an address full of enthusiasm. The meeting adjourned at noon, voting unanimously in favor of a resolution that it was the sense of the anti-saloon gathering that no more liquor licenses should be granted by Treasurer Wright in the Territory of Hawaii. An able address was read by Mrs. J. M. Whitney, president of the W. C. T. U., recounting their efforts in the past, and inciting the men of the League to vigorous effort. Mr. K. Komura stated the alarming extent of the drink evil among our 60,---000 Japanese. It was the greatest evil among them. The importations of Japanese saki amounted to $235,118, or 231,---288 gallons, paying a duty of $90,644. Saki drunkenness lasts longer than that from other forms of alcohol and more impairs capacity for labor. (Saki is a kind of rice wine, averaging 18 per cent of alcohol.) The Ewa Plantation had succeeded in prohibiting the use of saki among their laborers. Dr. Khai Fai Li gave the Chinese side. He said there were four large wholesale liquor houses among the Chinese, but these were losing money every year, as the Chinese were not naturally drinkers. The losses which these firms were sustaining were not to be wondered at, considering that the Chinese did not drink to any extent except on the days they celebrated some national event. Samshu was the principal drink, and this was not so strong as the foreign distilled liquors. There was one Chinese drink which contained about sixty per cent of alcohol. The importation from Northern China was Sam Ching, which contains about 50 per cent of alcohol. The strongest drink THE FBIEND.

Lorrin Andrews spoke on the subject. "Practical Lines of Work." He made an earnest appeal to the people to use their voles in the matter of temperance agitation. There should lie something more than talk. The temperance people must be practical. The saloon element was very practical in its methods. If the temperance people wanted to put a stop to this terrible state of things and make this a better place to live in, they must help the cause by assisting practically. As to Mr. Rice's statement that Treasurer Wright had absolute power in the matter of issuing licenses, he said this was true, and that he could say yes or no, and the Governor or the Legislature could say nothing against his decision one way or the other.

It has seemed as a special interposition of Providence, to continue the existence of the valued paper, which has long been the oldest newspaper west of the Rocky mountains. >LULU, 11. 1..

In January [843, it became "The Friend of Temperance and Seamen," and in January 1845, simply "The Friend," under which title it has continued as a monthly journal to the present time. Under the new management and plans ue are sanguine of a great increase in the value of the paper, and of a large addition to its subscription list.

An edition of the New Testa incut had been published in the native tongue, and considerable portions of the < >ld Testament. With this access to the Bible, and with much diligent instruction, many of the people had received a considerable knowledge of divine truth. About 15 different stations had now beeii occupied by resident missionaries, with usually two families at each station. These men maintained regular Sabbath or week-day services at from 3 to 4 outstatioiis, so that the Gospel was preached by white missionaries weekly or monthly at from 50 to 60 different points. Besides this, there were the regular but very imperfect ministrations in every district by native lunas or deacons. There were' no native ordained ministers, and scarcely any instructed or trained preachers. Here and there were comparatively able school teachers who had enjoyed a four years course of instruction at the Lahainaluna High School, established in 1831. At most of these stations, Churches of Christ had been organized, embracing, as before stated, a total membership of 1,168. The largest of these churches was in Honolulu, with 281 members. Great caution and deliberation had been exercised in admitting professed converts to church privileges. ( )ften their spiritual experiences seemed to be dee]), and attended with manifestations of emotion. Occasionally something like revivals would occur to a limited extent. In treating upon the work preliminary to this Great Awakening, something may be said as to the forms in which the Gospel was commonly presented by the earlier missionaries, and a better form by those who came later. It is not necessarily a criterion of the soundness of the doctrines taught, that the Holy Spirit mercifully blesses the teaching. God may and does use very defective teaching of the word to produce great fruits in the conversion of sinners and the tanctification of Christians. Yet the more nearly the teaching conforms to that of the Holy Spirit in the Scriptures, doubtless the more effective it becomes. The teaching of the earlier missionaries had been blessed to the conversion of a great number of Hawaiian* in all grades of life from prince to serf. During these 18 preliminary years there had been formed in the image of Christ many pure and noble souls living in the joy of the Divine communion. Yet I think it true that the severer forms of Calvinism presented by the earlier missionaries were March, 1902. THE FRIEND. less adapted to facilitate the work of the Divine Spirit, than were the- gentler and sweeter forms in which the Gospel was presented by those more lately arrived, who had been in the wonderful revivals under Finney's preaching. There has conic down from my early childhood a most painful remembrance of the very harsh and severe idea of God's wrath and jealousy, and the terrors of his rule, which were prominent in the usual religious instruction of children. At the age of six or seven yean 1 knew chiefly of a God of severe and rigorous justice and nothing of 1 lim as a Loving Rather. 1 was taught to think myself a wicked little sinner, and that "God was angry with sinners every day." I must pray to he "converted" and have a "new heart," or else endless torments in hell awaited me, the actual terror of which was often very great. It is true that we were taught thai "God so loved the world that lie gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in Him should not perish.*' But it was nut made clear that all one had to do was to willingly come to t tirist. The "new heart" was in the way. God might or might not impart a new heart, according to I lis sovereign pleasure. All this seemed to place God at a repelling distance, and not in a Fatherly attitude. And I well remember the winning presentation of the Lord Jesus in our children's meetings in Honolulu, by some of the later arrivals, especially by Mr. Spaulding, who came in [832, and Mr. Coan in 1835. ( Mhcrs who brought a modified or New School Calvinistic Theology from Auburn Seminary were Baldwin, Dibble and Tinker in 1831, Lyons in 1832, and Lowell Smith in 1835. All of these earnest men had experienced more or less of the wonderful revivals that pervaded Central New York during the earlier labors of Charles G. Finney, whom Princeton theologians called a heretic. The entrance of these devoted men into the Hawaiian work gave a new impulse to the evangelization of the people. There was a more direct and efficient presentation of Christ, less encumbered by the old and stiff Westminster forms of doctrine. This i.ew preaching undoubtedly contributed r ■ eh to the great spiritual awakening among the Hawaiians. Signs of the special presence of the Holy Spirit began to be marked during the year 1837. The General Meeting of the missionaries that summer in Honolulu was attended by special earnestness of feeling. There had just arrived a large accession to their force of 32 men and women. During their meeting a great tenderness was created by the death in their midst of the very lovely wife of Rev. Lorenzo Lyons. The missionaries returned to their stations with greatly kindled hearts, full of love for souls, and hop* of gathering them in. During the latter halt of that year began to appear great and earnest attention to the Word in many parts of the islands. The Spirit had begun to come in power. Active measures of special work were taken throughout the mission during the following months. As recorded by Dr. Rufus Anderson, "The means employed were those commonly used during times of revival in the United States, such as preaching, the prayers of the church, protracted meetings, and conversing with individuals, or small companies. In the protracted meetings, much time was given to the plain preaching of revealed truth, with prayer in the intervals. The topics of discourse were such as these: the gospel a savor of life or death; the danger of delaying repentance ; the servant who knew his lord's will and did it not; sinners not willing that Christ should reign over them; halting between two opinions; the balm of Gilead; the sinner hardening iii.s neck; God not willing that any should perish. The topic most insisted on. was the sin and danger nf refusing an offered Savior." The revival in Mr. Coan's field of Hilo and Puna seems to have begun early in 1837. In his autobiography Mr Coan writes: "During all the years of 1837-K, Hilo was crowded with strangers; whole families and whole villages in the country were left, with the exception if a few ( ) ur of the old people. great native house of worship, nearly 200 feet long, by 85 feet wide, with a lofty 1 of of ll atch, was crowded almost to suffocation, while hundreds remained outside, una) le to enter. The word lell * * with power, and sometimes a; the feeling deepened, the vast audience was moved and swayed like a forest in a mighty wind. The word became like 'the fire and the hammer' of the Almighty ; and it pierced like a two-edged sword. Hopeful converts were multiplied, and 'there was great joy in the city.' " The wonderful work became general through all parts of the Island:,.. I was then, : ri 1838, a growing lad of 11 years, ami have much distinct recollection of the momentous movement in my father's field of I'.wa. There were various protracted meetngs, participated in by Mr. Lowell Smith of Honolulu, Mr. Emerson of Waialua, and Mr. Parker of Kaneohe. My father also attended similar meetings at the stations of these brethren. As the movement went on, our great church became too strait for us. It would hold 1,000 people, with 400 more packed within hearing on the wide verandahs. After * * * * �Vol. 60, No. a while, the north half of the churchyard was covered over with a great lanai, «o as to hold from 4,000 to 6,000 people, and the interior of the church was unused. Often the entire population, old and young, were present. 1 especially recall one Sabbath service, in the beginning of the revival, before we had moved into the great lanai, when a profound impression was made on my own mind by a manifest access of what may he seripturally termed prophetic power in my father. llc was usually colloquial in his preaching, without special inipressivencss of manner. (hi this oc- casion, he seemed to be another man, flaming with the power of me Spirit. I had at that time learned only a few words of Hawaiian, being seduously kept from doing so. But I remember the impassioned emphasis with which the preacher said "C'oki! U'oki!" (Stop! Stop!). He was manifestly another man, with a Divine Power inspiring him. I think that this was a common missionaries. 23 THE FRIEND. 3.1 experience of the I do not recall witnessing any marked demonstrations of outward emotion among the hearers, although such often appeared in some of the fields, especially in those of Mr. Lyons and Mr. Coan on I law-an. The general practice of the missionaries was to maintain order and repress what were looked upon as hysterical expressions of feeling. Mr. Coan records the following peculiar case: "A young man came once into our meeting to make sport slyly. Trying to make the young men around him laugh during prayer, he fell as senseless as a log upon the ground and was carried out of the house. It was some time before his consciousness could be restored. He became sober, confessed his sins, and in due time united with the church." The ingathering of the great harvest of converts into the church was productive of some remarkable experiences, due to their extraordinary numbers. Although carefully sifted out from the unstable ones, their numbers often ran in a single field, high into the hundreds, and even into the thousands in the churches of Mr. Coan at Hilo, and Mr. Lyons at Waimea. One of the most remarkable memories of my childhood, is that of a wonderful communion service at Kwa when my father baptized 4<x) new converts in the course of two hours. These people had been accepted for church membership after repeated and careful examination, and a probation of several months. The pastor had made painstaking provision for their public baptism, by organizing them into groups of from ten to twelve each. The names of those forming each group were written together upon a separate piece of paper, which was put in charge of a luna or deacon. On the eventful Sabbath, about 6,000 people, an enormous crowd, were 1lacked under the great lanai. The 400 people to be baptized were arranged around the desk, each group separate, sitting in the same order as the names on the paper. As the pastor came to them, each groUp knelt. The luna handed him the paper. With a wet sponge he applied water to each forehead in succession, calling each name in order, thus: "Mark, Dorcas, Zedekia, Tabitha, Moses." &c, then pronouncing the formula "I baptize you all into the name of the bather, and of the Son. and of the Holy Spirit." By means of this expedient, the pastor was enabled to administer baptism to 4(H) persona in two hours. It would have been impossible in the ordinary way to have accomplished the service in the limits of any reasonable time. At Hilo, the problem was a much severer one. Mr. Coan thus described his method. "The 1705 persons selected had all been gathered at the station some time before the day appointed for their reception. They had been divided into classes, according to the villages whence they The hour came: during came. the time of preparation the house was kept clear of all but the actors. With the roh in hand, the leaders of the classes were called in with their companies of * * candidates in first of Hilo last of Kau. the first class the order of all the villages ; district, then of Puna, and From my roll the names in were called one by one, and I saw each individual seated against the wall, and so of the second, and thus on until the first row was formed. Thus after row was extended the whole length of the house, leaving spaces for one to pass between these lines. After every name had been called, and every individual recognized and seated, all the former members of the church were called in and seated on the opposite side of the building, and the remaining space given to as many as could he seated. "All thus being prepared, we had singing and prayer, then a word of explanation on the rite of baptism, with exhortation. After this with a basin of water, I passed back and forth between the lines. sprinkling each individual until all were baptized Standing in the center of the congregation of the baptized. T pronounced the words, 'T baptize you all into tin- name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the TToly Ghost. Amen.'" "The scene was one of solemn and tender interest, surpassing anything of the kind T ever witnessed. All heads were bowed, and tears fell. All was hushed except sobs and breathing." This event took place on the first Sabbath in July, 1838. A farther cxplanarow . tion of the possibility of so sprinkling as many as 1,705 persons is that it was facilitated by the use of a brush. On a succeeding page of his autobiography, Mr. Coan records that during the year ending April 30, 1839, he received into the church 5,244 persons, and 0.0*) during three years. During the 1 same period, Mr. Lyons received 6,177 persons ,hia district including Waimea, I lamakua and Kohala. In the memorial volume prepared by Mrs. Lydia Bingham Coan, on page 223---_>->5, is a letter of Mr. Coan in which he describes his own mental condition at that period in the following remarkable words: "It is only when the 'powers of the world to come' rest upon us that we have any power to win souls, or to draw sinners to a near view of the cross of Christ. It is then that the Spirit makes intercession for us with gro.mings that cannot be uttered. "I often felt this same power while preparing for the ministry, and numbers, both of adults and children, were drawn to the Savior in meltings, in schools, and in personal interviews. "When I came to these Islands, and before I could use the Hawaiian language, 1 often felt as if I should burst with strong desires to speak the Gospel to the natives around me. And when my mouth was opened to speak of the love of God in Christ, I felt that the very chords of my heart were wrapped around my hearers, and that some inward power was helping me to draw them in, as the fisherman feels when drawing in his net filled with fishes. "In 1 b(■ s,■ ■ '. ys and years f never rose li a.muss a native audience without feeling an assurance that a Divine power rested upon me, and that 'Death and 11(11' could .lot withstand the Word of Cod, hut that it was the 'Sword of the Spirit, quick and powerful,' that it was the 'lire and hammer,' and the gleaming battle-axe of Jehovah, ordained to conquer Satan and sin ; and that it is, in deed and in truth 'the power of salvation' to all who believe, whether speaker or hearer. "And the fruits of that faith were abundant and marvelous.

I believe that what Mr. Coan thus noted of his own mental experience in preaching, was also in a greater or less degree the personal experience of his missionary brethren*generally in all parts of the group during the years of that great revival. Some of them certainly experienced 't in a very high degree. Especial attention is due to his strong consciousness at that time of a Divine Power resting upon him while speaking the word; Also to be noted is his description of the mighty outreaching of his heart in loving desire towards his hearers, also of the all conquering assurance possessing him at such times of the irresistible, penetrating power of the Word upon the souls of the hearers. These are pngnantlv significant expressions. They are clearly in line with the lan guage of Paul to his Thessalonian converts in I Tiiess. 1:5—"How that out gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance." .Also z:8 "Even so being affectionately desirous of you, we were well pleased to impart unto yon, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were become very- dear to us." It is this Rower of the Holy Spirit, resting upon his servants and tilling them with a full assurance, and an all-conquering love, which we may well believe, is in the coming years, more and more to give the victory to the Gospel as it speeds over the Rarth. The Supernatural Essential to Christianity. It always used to be understood that Christian believer involved the belief in miraculous signs and direct revelations from Cod. Such things constitute an inseparable part of the Bible record They form the leading part of the record of Christ's life as well as of all recorded Divine manifestations before' his day. Those who denied Miracles and direct Revelation stood simply as unbelievers in Christ and his religion.. We used to call them Infidels and Deists. ()f later years, however, it has become the fashion for such deniers to still claim a place a Christians or adherents to Christ, on the ground of accepting his ethical teachings. Prof. Pearson, who is just now befor the public as a denier of Miracles and Revelation, doubtless claims to be a Christian. to be a \ow the writer is not disposed to quarrel about a name. More, we believethat our Lord will own as his follower and disciple one who has his spirit of love and obedience to truth and right, how ever astray in theory, while he will disown the person who is correct in opinion, but hard or false and selfish in life. ( )ur conformity to Jesus needs to be chiefly in character and heart, rather than in intellectual belief. One best shows love to the Lord and Master, by living like Him, and cultivating that likeness. Undoubtedly there are many true and lovely Christians, who are far astray in their mental belief. Yet correctness of belief is of vei\ high importance. It is a tremendous obstacle to our allegiance to Christ, if we deny the record of his life, and of his Resurrection from the dead. It is almost incompatible with spiritual activity and to hold the Bible record of Revelation to be a compound of incredible legends and myths, as so many (not all) of the Higher Critics would have us do. It is an undeniable fact that a majority of these Critics are governed in their rejection of any part of Scripture as being "unhistorical" by the rule or principle that every miracle is impossible. Every such alleged record is therefore a legend or myth, and not written by eyewitnesses.' Even the circumstantial story of OUr Lord's Resurrection, which was the supreme miracle, was only a legend. This whole attitude of rejection of Miracle;, is based upon a spurious Science. The Science of Mature can deal only with \atural Law, and Physical forces.

A great to-do has lately been made .about the removal from his chair of English literature of Prof, C. W. Pearson, of the Northwestern University of Evanston, Illinois. This is a Methodist in- stitution established for the training of men for the ministry of that church. Mr. Pearson has publicly denounced the Inspiration of the Bible, and the possibility of Miracles, both of which are fundamental to Christianity. In expressing such opinions, he necessarily disqualifies himself for a teacher in a specifically Christian college. He has the right to any opinions he chooses to hold, but ii<") right to remain teacher in a Christian institution while denouncing Christian belief. There is therefore no persecution in his removal, but only a manifest voting Fuel Oil for Plantations. The announcement is made that Castle & Cooke are contracting for the delivery of oil from the California wells at the ir- rigating pumps of the Rwa and Waialua sugar plantations. These pomps are now making steam by the consumption of about 40,cxx:> tons of coal a year. To do the same work will require about 160,000 barrels of oil. To ensure a constant suppi v, the California company will maintain large storage tanks near the Oahu Railway wharves with a capacity for loo.txxi barrels of oil. It is estimated that the reduction of expense for fuel will thus be very large. The oil will come in tank ships specially built for the purpose.

Statistics of the Year—Book. The statistics of the churches of the Territory of Hawaii for the Congregational year-book have just been collected, compiled and sent on to Rev. Mr. Asher Anderson, of Mcriden, Conn., who is the Secretary of the National Council of Congregational Churches, and hence the final compiler and publisher of its statisticse in the year-book which generally appears during the second quarter of the calendar year. It is a very difficult matter to secure accurate statistics from the I lawaiian Churches. We believe it nevertheless to be a valuable training along a line which hitherto (before [901 ) has not been followed except by the local organizations. The statistics of the annual report of the Secretary of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association cover the church year, reaching from June to June. The statistics of the year-book of the Congregational Council of American Churches, cover the calendar year. Hence one set of statistics is in a measure a check on the other. The following are some of the facts collated from the statistics just collected. ()f the thirty-seven churches responding, all hut two have reported accessions during the year, making a total accession of 401 members, against a loss of 177. This is a net gain for the past calendar year of 224. The statistics of twenty-four churches which have sent in reports for the last two years have been compared with themselves, with the result of a total accession for these twenty-four churches for the past year of 176, an increase over the previous year of 71. The reports just received are more complete than those of the previous year and it is hoped that in time they will reach a much greater com- pleteness. 27 THE FRIEND.

In publishing this semi-annual report of the Japanese Boarding School, I must thank all the friends who have assisted the school with money and in other ways. I thank Dr. S. Kobayashi and Dr. Iga Mori who have attended many of our sick children, and gave them medicine free of charge. I wish to take this means of making a short history of the school and how it happened to be organized. It was in the month of August of 1896 that at the request of a friend, I took a boy to my house and began to take care of him. Shortly afterwards, two or three boys were sent to me. At that time I had no idea of starting a boarding school. Not wishing to refuse my friends' requests, I took charge of as many children as 1 was able to do. In a short while I had lour or five children. One of them was a child of seven years, who was a very bad and disobedient boy. Alter having been with me for several months, he became quite changed ftir the better to the surprise of much for coming in contact with the salt his friends and neighbors. There was water. Some one remarked that this was also a boy of nine years who was very a good time for us to learn to "take the disobedient. When I reprimanded him for his naughty actions he would become spoiling of our goods joyfully." We were very glad to see Dr. and Mrs. angry and would throw stones at me Rife again. Our school work goes on as After having been with me for a long usual. There is nothing new to write while lie gradually became better. I le is about. We have had and are having now very obedient and faithful, lie is some pretty warm weather. It seems as always the first one to volunteer to go to if my blood was at fever heat most of the postoffice on steamer days, and seems the time. I have been afflicted with boils to feel very happy to hear me express the for almost two months. That is the rea- words "Thank you," after he handed me son I have run away from home and the mail. The improved conduct of these work for a short time, to see if a little children have so impressed upon the change would make me feel better. This minds of the Japanese parents that they is the third time I have had them since began to bring their children to me for coming down here. I often sigh care. This is thus the beginning of the * for a place' where we could go and cool formation of the Japanese Boarding off for a few weeks and then be able to School.

They are then sent to the English school during the forenoon, while in afternoon they attend the Japanese school on Nuuaiut street. In the afternoon after school hours, they spend their time in physical exercise, such as military drill, sword fencing, baseball, football and tennis. In the evening, meetings are held, which are presided over by the elder children. Songs are sung, prayers offered, and short remarks .are made by the children. They then go to their study room to review their lessons before' retiring for the . night. All of the children are in direct charge of Mrs. Okumura Mrs. Okumura and are not trained teachers and do not know the method of education. \\C are doing our best to bring the children up and educate them and teach them "I.nve and Truth." In performing our work we pray to Cod and ask for lib guidance and help so that the many children entrusted in our care may be brought up according to His wishes. I am glad to state that we are being greatly assisted by the older children, who by their good conduct and behavior help us a great deal to control the newones. The boarding school is conducted without any funds whatever, merely relying upon the money paid by tin- boarders which amounts to $5 per month for each child, and to the generosity of the friends of the school. I am glad t» state that we are' able to carry 011 the work through the valuable assistance of our friends. I hope that our kind hearted friends will still continue to assist us in the future as they have 'lone in the past.

LX SALUTATORY With the present issue Thk Friend appears under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and thus enters upon a new stage in its history. Founded in 1843, while California was still Mexican possession, and before civilization had advanced beyond the Middle West, it has the distinction of being the oldest paper west of the Rocky Mountains. Throughout its history it lias been identified with the forces and influence! that have worked in the interests of Christian life and civilization in these islands. Its passing, therefore, into the control of the Hawaiian Board is a natural movement in the evolution of moral and religions life here. It has been felt for some time by certain members of the Board that a newspaper of tbe right kind could be made a strong factor in the extension of Christian influences among our people, but the means were not at hand for starting a new pajier. When, therefore, it was learned a short time ago that the Editor and the Publisher of Thk Friend were willing to turn it over to the Board, it was felt at once that the opportunity to secure a paper of the right character and prestige had come; the offer was accepted and a board of editors appointed to carry it on. Under the new management it will remain distinctively a religious paper. It will be devoted to the presentation of facts and discussion of questions that relate directly and indirectly to the social, moral, and religious life of the Hawaiian Islands. Tn this field it will find its realm of service. So far as it may refer to politics, it will aim to be non-partisan and to discuss men and measures on their merits alone. It will try to give a full and frank discussion of temperance issues, and will lend itself to the extent of its power to the cultivation of temperance sentiment. In matters of religious belief it will endeavor to present such facts and maintain such a spirit as will be conducive to the upbuilding of Christian faith and character. In its HONOLULU, T.

A glance at American history shows this to have, been the way in the United States. There is no evidence that the real founders of the American nation brought with them preconceived notions of land division and ownership, or of the management of labor. They came to escape evils that had become intolerable at home,and their first concern was to provide the conditions for the development of character. The church and the schoolhouse became tbe nurseries of American life and liberty. To these were added the habits of industry which were of necessity formed in the hard struggle with natural surroundings. The present forms and forces in which American life expresses itself are the fruit of the nation's experience. This must be tb." course of development here. To reverse the process and try to impose social and industrial conditions before the mental and moral, qualities which sustain them are developed is to invite failure. President Roosevelt said, in his message to Congress, in reference to this Territory : "We do not wish a region of large estates tilled by cheap labor; we wish a healthy American community of men who themselves till the farms they own." These words undoubtedly represent the ideal condition. The question is how to get such a community. It must in the main be made from such people as we have, settled tip.ni such land as is now available. Nine-tenths or more of the people here are comprised of native Hawaiians, Asiatics, and Portuguese. Their children, who are to form the bulk of our future population, are, in great part, growing up without connection with any kind of industrial life that is of common interest to the whole family, such as is the case with the farmer's children in the United States. They go to school, to be sure, but outside of school hours they are for "tbe most part idle and not forming habits of industry and economy. Ia resrpect to land for farms, it will not do. for at least a long time to come, to displace the sugar plantations.because it is upon them that the present wealth of the Islands depends. They are the source of our material prosperity. The means as well, for carrying on all benevolent and religious work is derived almost wholly and directly from them.

They will be needed furnish the sinews of war while the work of development goes on along other lines In addition to the land occupied by the sugar plantations, we have other lauds, included in small valleys, hillsides, and broken tracts too small for cane cultivation, but suited to small holdings, much of which could be made productive with proper cultivation and irrigation. There arc also still some large tracts not yet thrown open to settlement. Now it is from such young people as have been mentioned, settled upon these lands, that tbe "healthy .American community of men who themselves till the farms they own" is to be formed. To bring the people and the lands together What i-- necessary to i- the problem. effect be seen by considering the difficulties in the way. In the first place, these young people are ignorant of all methods of agricultural operations except a few of tbe the union ma) best simplest. 'Then much of the land could be made productive only by irrigation, the cost of inaugurating which would be too great for people of limited means. If this difficulty were overcome, the crops which easily grow here are perishable, and in many cases would be far from market, and rates of transportation are high and would largely or wholly consume the profits. It will readily be seen, therefore, that to raise up "the healthy American community" of men tilling their own farms is an undertaking of no small magnitude. It is a desirable end, however, and it is the duty of both the United States and Territorial Governments to use all reasonable effort to attain it. This effort would seem to lie along two or three related lines, the first of which would he a system of agricultural schools supported hv the government, on tracts of land which could be developed by the labor of the students while they were obtaining their instruction. The second would he the development of irrigation facilities by the government, and third, the continuance of experimental work such as is now in operation, for ascertaining what crops could be successfully grown here in addition to the fruit and vegetables needed for home consumption, and which would be of such a nature as to the most reasonable terms, from the tracts already partly or wholly developed by their own industry as students. The process even then would be one of natural selection and survival of the fittest. Only those who combined in themselves the necessary industry and skill would succeed. 'The limits of this article do not admit of further discussion, but enough has been said to show that the problem of developing this Territory along "traditional American lines," as President Roosevelt puts it. lies right at this point. If this should be found to be impracticable, then the test of Americanism will come in ascertaining whether or not it can be developed along untraditional lines. NEW BLOOD The Hawaiian Islands arc facing the question of what is to be the effect of the new blood that has been injected into the veins of their industrial and commcrmercial life. From the people brought here as common laborers a new generation is rising which is certain to make itself felt for good or ill. Besides the class mentioned, in another place, which needs the benefit of the industrial school and which is liable to be a menace and a burden if it is not furnished, there is another class that is pressing on to places of power and influence in the ranks of business. At present the greater part of this class are the sons of Chinamen. Other races are following on. This class is bound to come to the front in the future. They will be men with strong traits of character, with reserve power of a high order latent in them. Just now they are anxious to receive the best we can give them. What course towards them does prudence as well as benevolence dictate? The Jesuits ruled continental Europe for a time because they had educated the young princes a-d thus gained an influence over them. May we not take a lesson from this far-seeing order? Let us have a Christian school in which high ideals of life shall be maintained alongside of the best practical training, and into which as many as possible of these youth shall be gathered. These young �THE FRIEND men are to be the leaders of their people, and in this way they would be brought into sympathy and co-operation with the best life of the years to come. These words are not written in disparagement of any school now in existence. There is still room for a school of the kind mentioned. Once established it would be one of the strongest influences for fostering that type of Americanism that we desire to cultivate, as well as a profitable investment for all who expect to leave large possessions in these Islands to their children. THE LIQUOR BUSINESS 5 ARIGHTEOUS LAW this government Dr. Tenney was and still is the Chinese secretary.

Let the facts be made clear and reiterated before the American people until it is thoroughly understood to what a degree this traffic is causing the extinction of our native people and what an obstacle it presents to all substantial progress here, in the hope that the only power that is really adequate to suppress it, namely, the United States Congress, may be led to act. dismiss the charge.

C. D. TENNEY On March 12th, there passed through Honolulu, on the steamship Peru, en route to China, another of the many peo pie who played an important part in that country during the Boxer troubles of two years ago. This was the Rev. Dr. C. D. Tenney, who was President of the University of Tientsin previous to the Boxer uprising. When Tientsin was taken by the allied forces and many of the people had fled from the city, a provisional government was etstablished by the foreign authorities in control. Of year, a special work of grace has been going on in all parts of Japan in connection with the many special evangelistic services. This has been a concerted in- ter-denominational campaign, celebrating" the first year of the twentieth centuryHundreds of individuals have been converted, and many thousands have determined to study Christianity. We have bad two series of snecial meetings here in Matsuvama,. with excellent results, and two or three remarkable conversions. "Pastor Ninomiya has been absent during the current year to heln the work in other places. Our independent church here has accordingly asked me to serve as 'acting pastor' in his absence. This has required of me a large amount of preaching, and has given me rare opportunities both for personal work and for directing the work of the church. We have had twenty additions to the church in the past six months, and we have on the list of inquirers and candidates some forty more. We have recently begun work in a new part of the city, which at present is exceedingly promising. �6 THE FRIEND "We are starting what appears to be a religious revolution in that part of the city, notorious drunkards and famous idolaters are coming to our meetings, and express themselves as deeply impressed with the teachings and testimonies of Christians. \\ ate also getting a hold on the officers and hands in the cotton thread factory in that part of the city. The outlook is very hopeful. "As a family we have been on the whole very well for tlu past two or three years. The children are growing amazingly. We are looking forward sadly to the raptdl} approaching time when they must go to the Homeland for their education. Tlu educational problem here is now our daily toil and trouble. "Mr. Mott's visit to Japan has just end cd. It has resulted in a remarkable re- . ligious awakening among the students of Japan, over one thousand having decided to become disciples of Jesus. 'Truly we are living in eventful times. Remember to pray for us and our work." THE MEETING OF THE HAWAII ASSOCIATION On the sth of March the Hawaii Association met at Kailua for the first time in many years. Fifteen of the seventeen churches in the Association were represented either by pastor or delegate, or both- Beginning on Thursday, tbe meetings of the Association were continued over the week and were closed Monday noon, when the Sunday School Association began its session. 'The chief interest centered in the exercise of the workers' institute, which is under the patronage of the Association and which had very nearly an allday session on Saturday. There are twenty lay brethren associated with this institute. Mr. Emerson held a forty-five-niinute session of the class for the study of sermon briefs made on the text: "I am the Door," John 10:9. Mr. Kamoku catechised the class on points in theology ; Mr. Kalaiwaa, on church government ; Mr. Kealoba. on church history; and Mr. Timoteo, on evangelistic work. It is a hopeful feature that so great interest was shown in these studies. So far as our experience goes ot the work on Hawaii, there has never, during the past thirteen years, been such interest in lav-work as thrre 's now. These lay brethren are beginning to feel that they cannot wait the slow movements of some of their pastors. Some ol them arc intelligent men and arc capable ot doing good work. But lor them, the churches would be badly handicapped Irom lack ot proper leadership. Hence il is important that they should receive training along lines of religious work. This is the aim of the institute founded by the Association. It is hoped that among the lay workers there may be found proper candidates lor the North Pacific Missionary Institute and for the regular ministry. We believe it to be a wise thing lo attempt thus to enroll la) brethren in classes tor instruction iv religious work. It will have a tendency to increase their zeal and make them more efficient and effective in serviceThe evangelistic meetings under the leadership of Rev, Mr. Timoteo, which were held in the evenings, formed an important part of the session. They were begun at Kailua on the 2nd of March and were continued without intermission and w'th growing interest till the tub, when, during the absence ..I Messrs. Emerson and Timoteo at South Kona, they were held on alternate evenings under the leadership of Mrs. 'Timoteo, aided by the lay workers. The exercises of the Sunday School of North and South Kona. which were held on Sunday, the Oth, were of phenomenal interest and strength. Beginning at 10:30a. 111., they were continued with but an hour's nooning till 5 p. m. Most of the singing was fine and showed much care in preparation. Scripture lessons were put to music and chanted or sung for twenty minutes at a time. Certain classes, notably such as had passed under the training of Mr. and Mrs- Amalu of South Kona, were left without the prompting of a teacher, to go through entire exercises, including most pleasing and even soul-stirring hers, and apparently so interested. ()n the stately old Mokuaikaua Church, so long the center of Father Thurston'* ministrations, was packed with people. Successful evangelistic meeting.-' were conducted at Napoopoo and Hookena, under the leadership of Mr. Timoteo. ( ). P. E. A NEW COMMENTARY The friends of Dr. Hiram Bingham will be interested in knowing that he is nearly ready to make another valuable contribution to the already long list of benefits which he and Mrs. Bingham have rendered to the the people of the Gilbert Islands. 'This is the first volume of the Commentary on the New Testament, on which he has labored for nearly liv years as bis health has permitted. As many know. Dr. Bingham translated the whole of the Bible into the Gilbertese language. 'This Commentary will be a fitting and valuable supplement to his former work. Dr. and Mrs. Bingham's works arc available for use among the }o,o(x> people inhabiting the eighteen islands of the Gilbert group. 'This first volume of the Commentary embraces the four Gospels, and as soon as it is published can come at once into the hands of the native pastors, teachers, and peo- pie. Dr. Bingham w»ll continue his cxegetical work, as bis strength will allow, on the remaining Books of the New Testament.

COMPLETENESS IN CHRIST Paul's statement in Col. ii., 10, "Ye are complete in him," or, as the Revised Version has it, "In him ye are made full," lets us into one of life's deepest secrets. Ponce dc Leon went in quest of the fountain of perpetual youth. He sought for that which would restore a' wasting body to the period of immaturity and inexperience. Paul shows us how an immortal spirit maj go on without deterioration to the richest plentitude of power and blessing. To get the meaning of his words, we need to remember that Christ is a person, and that in him tbs attributes of personality, intellect, sensibility, and will, the capacity for all Spiritual excellence, are seen .in their highest perfection. Sympathy and tenderness in their purest forms V<J blended into perfect harmony with strength and self-command. Now the significance of Paul's wordi lies in the fact that we too are persons, and that the attributes of personality which arc seen in Christ in all their rounded completeness belong also to us, only in an undeveloped degree. The end to which they are adapted, and the goal toward which they would ever lead u- is the completed form in which they appear iv Christ. Just as the glory of flower and fruitage i- potential in the seed and i- the end toward which the force- of development arc ever pressing the plant forward, so fulness of personality and character as found in Christ is the end toward which our own imperfect faculties were meant ti grow; so that having attained to his hkvntss, we should be complete. Bui stranger than the fact mat we have the capacity to grow into his likeness, is the fact that he can come into our lives, and, as it were, take possession of our personality and help us to perfect his own image in ourselves. Under his divine uplifting we are quickened into a new life incomprehensible to one who has not felt its power. When Christ becomes the indwelling Savior, the personal powers are wonderfully stimulated. The intellect lays hold of spiritual truth with a vigor and readiness of assimilation unknown before: a calmness and peace of soul conies over us which we may believe to be akin to that in himself thought is to employ several more, paywhen for the joy that was set before him ing each what he is worth.

Among the Young People Sunday evening, March 16, a very interesting missionary meeting was held at Central Union C. E. Society, the subject being "Beginnings of Missions." The leader, Mr. E. L. Collins, began with the missionary expeditions of Bible times, carried his hearers through the changes of the centuries following, speaking of the founding of the Moravian Mission, then of the work in England and America. This Society has a good Missionary Library. Saturday night is the great night of the clvb—although from fifty to one hundred hoys can be seen there almost any night. After the boys have punched the bag for awhile, and played on the ladder and horizontal bars, comes the weekly lantern slide exhibition. Tables where boys arc playing games and reading are moved one side, and the electric lantern, already in place and focussed, throws the beautiful pictures on the screen. The subjects are taken from foreign travel, lives of heroes, and Old Testament scenes. Several ladies have been there to explain tbe pictures. Mrs. Richards has had one night on the Rhine, and Mrs. W. C. Rogers will give several illustrated talks on London, on which city she is well versed. Thus there has been planned many Saturday nights ahead, interesting and instructive talks, to which the boys listen most politely and attentively. After their half hour of quiet they relieve the pressure by having a street parade with drums and banners, coming back again for more games, until they have actually to be turned out at half past nine.

ASUGGESTION OF EASTER WITH THE CHILDREN "Come and see the works of Cod." I'sa. lxvi:s. At Easter time ben' we do not have that awakening of the whole earth which follows a winter death with its cold white shroud. But we have the same story of the sweet new life in other miracles. A stroll ti]) the Manoa road may reveal butterfly and moth caterpillars, and chrysalides of gold. Here we found a bruised and faded butterfly clinging to a stem of milkweed, and treasured the tiny egg she left. Then followed the interest of watching our "tiny baby caterpillar" grow, choosing the best in its way. tbe milkweed flower first, and occasionally changing its skin, slipping off the old, for a brighter one. Then the transformation into a marvelous chrvs-alis of green studded with gold! "Is it dead?" the children asked. Why then the glimpses of those wings folded away, destined for skies? The time breathlessly we watched our butterfly come out on its Easter day! "It's happy now!" cried the children. Our morning-glories, reaching upward, had left their dark beds, our chicks their shells. The joy now of telling simply, without comment, the story of that first great Easter morning! "Why," one fiveyear-old could hardly wait to exclaim, "the tomb reminds me of the chrysalis!" came: �.

Twice only in the history of our Association has death entered our ranks. Miss Rowena Jehu was the first to be called home, and almost as suddenly came the summons to Mrs. John E. Evans, on March i ith. Mrs. Evans was an active and efficient worker in the Association, and her loving sympathy and cheery ways endeared her to all. Only a short time ago she came into the rooms to talk over getting a comfortable bed for an invalid lady. It is pleasant to remember that her last Association work was one so loving and so thoughtful for the comfort of another. Sorrow has come to one of our members. Miss A. Alice Allen, in the sudden death of her father in Los Angeles, Cal. She is assured of the loving sympathy of the Association members in her loss. Miss C. Frances Gribble was married to Mr. John C. Coburn at Emeryville, Cal., March ist. The wedding was a pretty one, green and white being the color scheme. After a bridal trip they will reside in Emeryville, where Mr. Coburn is a practicing lawyer, also serving as postmaster. We regret losing so amiable and active a member of our Association as Miss Cribble, but we feel sure that she will carry the sunny smiles which have endeared her to us all, into the new home, and we wish for her all joy and happiness in the new home life. Miss Emilie Schoor was the recipient of a dainty little pin on her birthday, March 13th, from the Membership Committee, of which she is the chairman. She deservedly holds a warm place in the hearts of all, and her faithful worK is appreciated by the entire Association. Pleasant letters have been received from a number of our absent members.

When the time came this was done, and it was a good meeting. At that meeting it was voted to hold the next one in Lahah.a. This seems to indicate a tendency to depart from the former practice of holding these annual meetings in Honolulu. Already we see the beginning of difficulty. Thcdatt of the meeting this year has been postponed one month for reasons having no connection with the work of the churches. Again, as Secretary F.tnerson mentions in another place, the churches of Maui are being drained for money to meet: the expense of elaborate enter tainment, and the consequence will be that they will not be able, in addition, to meet their legitimate obligations to pastors and other church duties.

LX _ ,, , The Kvangclist has devoted a page ~. -It, ■ to a- brtet review ot missionary conditions in the different groups of islands in this part of the Southern Pacific. In Tahiti the situation seems most encouraging. The Bible is faithfully read, and lar»;e portions. including even the genealogies, are committed to memory. This fonduesfoJ the llible affects even the conversa lion of the people, giving it a spiritual lone. Attendance on the services ol the church is another marked feature of their life. Absence from an appointed service calls for explanation, and discipline in case such is not forthcoming. In the Society [stands the case is dii fereut. There the missionaries are Mor irons and the work is carried on with (in system, and the result has been la-lure to reach and elevate the pen pie. In the-Marquesas group, the Cath olics have the strongest hold, the Mor Minns have failed entirely, while the Protestants have carried on a feeble work under the lead of a few Hawaiian mis sionaries. (If late, however, this pan oi the work lias been greatly stimulated by the coining of Rev. I'aul Vernier, son of Rev. Frederick Vernier of Tahiti. Mr. Vernier has gained the respect of the people and is insisting upon a purer morality, and is trying to educate as well as evangelize the people, Buddhism One 0f the consequences in the Ha- resulting from the preswaiian Islands ence in these Islands of ? large Japanese population, is the effort 111 . l'.aatlerii l"..l t tli-al.Xta , lately ■ Buddhism.

It has always heen one of the effects of Christianity to stimulate other religions with which it has come in conatct.

Tt is a proper at heart to study the methods by which subject for careful study, but if we bethis sect is propagated here, and also, come so engrossed in its own and rethe results which follow from the ac- lated intellectual problems, that we . .. : . forget to use it to quicken the consciences of men and lead them to renounce sin, we divert it from the main purpose for which it was intended, and the church and the world suffer in A merely intellectual consequence. Gospel will not save lost men. and the magnifying of the intellectual side to the neglect of that presentation which reaches the heart and rouses conscience, is, we believe, one element to be considered in explaining the infrequency of revivals. Another factor which always works to the same end. has in the present in stance been greatly stimulated by the results of the rigid investigation to which religious beliefs have lately been subjected, and that is, a subtle insincerity in human nature. We would not reflect upon any honest seeker after truth, but it is still a fact, that there is nothing that the natural man dislikes to face so much as personal responsi bility. To many such the overthrow of old beliefs has been, consciously or unconsciously, hailed as a deliverance front the pressure of uncomfortable obligations, and refuge from the plain dictates of duty is taken behind some scientific theory or some dictum of dc Structive criticism, apparently forgetful of the fact that however moral obliga tions may be explained, they still con tintie to exist. How superficial, however, and how far from touching the root of the mat ter. all mere intellectual efforts are. may be seen by a very simple test. In a room full of people whose hearts have been touched by the Holy Spirit, and who have been brought to fact their personal responsibilities, no reference to the New Evangelism is heard. With such people it is the old question of the Philippian jailor. "What must T do to be saveVl?" or of the Hebrew prophet, "Wherewith shall T come before the Lord and bow myself before the high Cod?" Tt is the first work of the Spirit to convict the world of sin. of righteousness, antl of judgment. It is the first duty of men to act under this convictiotl, and such action will bring the practical and intellectual sides of the Gospel into their right relations, for "he that will do his will shall know of the doctrine." Would it not seem to be true that the present infrequency of revivals is due to causes which, tinder the circumstances, are wholly natural and which will be removed in due time? The progress of the kingdom of God is not by steady movement. There are often long periods of preparation for swift advance. Are we not now in one of those periods? A broader and deeper intellectual foundation for our faith is �THE FRIEND being laid which by its very magnitude has absorbed attention in itself. When some event shall occur that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, shall call attention back to ibe fact that the first antl main object of the Cospel is to furnish a remedy lor sin, while the intellectual theory of the facts concerning it. though of great imporatnce, is after all, a secondary consideration; and when the truth shall be faithfully applied to men's consciences as the power to set them free from sin's thralldom, may we not expect that revivals will again occur, and with even greater power?

HAWAIIAN HOMES IN THE 70's rates lo the state of things then relating Hawaiian homesteads. In the country districts the natives lived very much as their fathers had lived, though the abrogation of the tabu had done away with the necessity for a number of houses for each family, and their establishments no longer resembled "a group of large haystacks." Thatched huts in the towns had generally been replaced by whatDr. Emer son aptly calls "air tight wooden boxes." These homes bail little about them lo indicate taste or thrift. Perhaps all the money a man bad bad been expended in ibe outer shell, leaving nothing for inside conveniences and finishings; or ambition and interest in building lagged, so that even the door Step would long be left tinadded. Mr. ('o.'.ti in bis "Life in Hawaii" savs of the natives. "They lack the gift of order and frugality, few of them know bow to keep or use money wisely. And so it is of houses, furniture, tools, clothing, etc. Such things are lost and mined by neglect. We teach them industry, economy, frugality, and generosity, but their progress in these virThey are like children tues is sluyv. neeib'ng wise parents or guardians." Their traits, not easily eradicated in half a century, rendered the people incapable of making their homes models of comfort and attractiveness. But, While in the main their abodes, were not inviting to the refined observer, there were exceptions. Cleanliness and care yvere dominant in some, and the inmates, heeding the instructions of their faithful missionary teachers, constituted well ordered housholds.

Bui one is never at a loss for sum. thing of real interest .11 a country like this which is always so thoroughly alive. The usual throng n f foreign visitors attracted by the well-earned reputation of the national spring flower. the cherry. has crow-del the hotels to overflowing. N"o one has come too far, for Tokyo has been resplendent from end pi _nd. Year by year the city spends more and more pains in adding to itmiles of cherry lined avenues with the result already obtained of rare success in transforming itself into a .wondrous garden of flowering loveliness four weeks in the spring of each year. It has leemed tn us we never saw anything quite so beautiful before. Tin- chern blossoms are now giving way to the azaleas which in time will yield to the peonies and these will be followed by the delicate wistaria with their trailing clusters six feet and more in length. The Doshisha Trustees having unanimously elected lion. K. Kataoka to th. presidency are rejoicing in many evidences of popular approval and growing confidence. < >ver one hundred new stu dents m the boys and girls departments registered since the close of the winter term tell the store of the new era realh begun. Everywhere the friends of the College are rallying about it with enthusiasm and the missionary contingent which has seen the inst tution through its dark days are radiant with joy. Two important religious conventions have helped make this month memorable. The I .omcikwai or Evangelical Alliance convened in Tokyo this year. It was noticeable that the leading Kumiai oi- Congregational pastors from Central Japan staved at home and it was general lv believed this was done b cause of the anticipated action of the Alliance with One of till reference to I 'nitarianism. best known of the Knmanioto I.and. Rev. Mr. l'.hina. perhaps the most tloquent of all the members of that fafamed circle of whilom (hi-t an leado has been pushing his unitarian views so persistently to the front and challenging controversy so ardently that the great bode of Christian believers, who are very loyal to Christ as the God-man, felt that so far as the Evangelical Alliance was concerned there must be sonic definition of the doctrinal basis of cooperation. Th. issue was fairly tried in the annual meeting, a declaratory statement defining the meaning of Evangelical so far as the divinity of Christ is concerned was adopted by a large majority and a representative committee was charged with the responsibility of considering the ipiestion of a corresponding change in the constitution of the Alliance. Not a few Congregational pastors deprecate this action holding that the cooperation of men like Mr. l'.hina should he welcomed in every religious movement, even in the campaign of evangelization opened so auspiciously last spring and about lob pursued enthusiastically this year also. But others, prominent among whom Key. 11. Kozaki is said to be, approve the action as tending towards harmony in the elimination of a matter of contention. Mr. Ebina like many men of oratorical temperament seems to stand on both sides of the evangelical fence, his early training and religious experience apparently getting the upper hand at times and leading him to preach a warm tender sermon full of the spirit of Christ while on other occasions the sprite of controversy gains the ascendancy and his crass radicalism causes great pain. His pulpit power gives him a large following especially among tbe young and it is reported that the style of convert he makes is apt to catch the shibboleth of bis controversial moments and miss tinessential of a personal relation with Jesus Christ. However that may he it is impossible to avert some sort of a division here along the line of a vital faith in fesus Christ as personal Redeemer anil Master. The other notalil gathering of the month has been the Anniversary of the National C I". Inim. It was held in Osaka and proved to he a most inspiring occasion.

It was accused of being "Hoiirgeois " i. c, characterised by extreme respectability, morality and thrift, but also by isolation narrowness and it want of "solidarile" or social character, defect* which are common to other countries as well as Prance. Aiming lite cnttses foi- this state of thing* tna.v be mentioned the deadening effect of the connection between church and state, the spread of Ceiinan rationalism, and tlie influence of ihe materialistic philosophy, which was at its height of power bulb in Knglmiil and France fifty years ago. but is now discredited. Since then a revival has taken place wit bin ihe French Protestant church, which is growing in power and has never been so nopeflll lis now. Al the time ol the Dreyfus trial the noble siaml which the Protestants made for justice and truth, drew down Upon them tbe rage of the Catholic and antiSemite party. An alarm was sounded by a M. Ernest Renauld in a book entitled, "The Protsstaut Peril." in which he showed that the power and influence of the Protestants in Prance is out of all proportion lo their number*. While tin- Protestant imputation is less than L' per cent of tbe whole, it furnishes one-eighth of the members nf the Senate and Chamber of Deputies. Out of eighty prefects of Prance, ten arc l'lolestmils. In several departments of Southern France a majority of the municipal councillors anil oilier officials are Protest ants. In the Ministries that hnve governed France under the present Hepuhlir, out of ten Ministers, two or three have always lieen Protestants, especially ill the departments of Pinance, the Colonies and Public Instruction. In this last department. Protestant influence has been paramount. Not long ago the three directors of Primary, Secondary and Higher Education, as well as the Insiiei tress-Ocneral of Oirls' Scbisds were all Protestants. Mr. Renault! finds the Protestants in the ascendant not only in the political world, but also in the magistracy, in high finance and in the field of education. They are said to control two-thirds of the banks of Paris In Mines, out of a Chamlier of Commerce of eleven members nine are Protestants, and all over France a large proportion of the leading bankers, merchants and manufacturers are found to be of that faith.

Part of them have joined the Protestant churches, while others cherisn the dream of establishing a new free Keforined church, distinct from the historic church of the Huguenots. It is stated on the same authority that there are thousands more who would follow the example of those who have seceded, if the danger of starvation did not stare them in the face. A so-called "Fraternal Society of Former Priests" has been formed, to assist mentioned. I»r. McAII, shortly before his death, said that he could effectively place five hundred workers in six months.

There is hope for Prance! Notwithstanding some disheartening symptoms of decadence, there is an active principle of life, a new religious spirit, stirring within the heart of that natjon. which may yet restore to France what she lost by the Revocation of the Kdict of Nantes. When we consider the relations of France to the rest of the world, and her far-rearhing influence for Isith good and evil, it does seem as if we could hardly over-estimate the service which that gifted |>eo|>le may yet render in spreading a pure Gospel throughout the earth.

Then is often great confusion as to the will of God. PeOpfc think that what God wills must inevitably take place. This is hv no means the case, (iod wills n great deal of blessing to His people, which never conns to them. He wills it most earnestly, hut they do not will it. and it cannot come to them. This is the great mystery of man's creation with a free will, and also of the renewal of His will in redemption, that Hod has made the execution of His will, in many things, dependent on the will of man. Of Cod's will revealed in His promises so much will be fulfilled as our faith acPrayer is the power by which cepts. that conies to pass which otherwise would not take place. And faith, the power b\ which it is decided how much of God's will shall he done in us. When once Coil reveals to a soul what He is willing to do for it, the responsibility for the execution of that will rests with us. Some are afraid that this is putting too much power into the hands of man. But all power is put into the hands of man in Christ Jesus. The key of all prayer and all power is His, and when We learn to understand that He is just .is much one with us as with the Father, and that we are also just as much one with Him as He with the Father, we .shall see how natural and right anil safe it is that to those who abide in Him as He in the Father, such power should he given. It is Christ the Son wlm has the right to ask what He will: it is through the abiding in Him and His abiding in us( in a Divine reality of which we have too little apprehension) that His Spirit breathes in us what He wants to ask and obtain through us. We pray in His Xanu the prayers arc really ours and as really His.

The feature of this evening will be the choosing of sides, and "spelling down" by quoting Bible verses. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR A very successful social in the form of a trolnight ley ride was given on a recent moonlight by the Central Union Society. The party started over the line to Kalihi; returning, the run was made to Manoa valley, where the crowd journeyed to the residence of .Mr. f. C. Atherton, where refreshments were served and games indulged in, and the return trip to town was made nt a late hour. nought. The field day at Kapinlani Park was an itniliialified success. Two hundred and fifteen boys were given free transportation on the tram cars and they made the welkin ring with club songs and good natured railery. On the grounds the first event was a competitive drill between the I'alaina and Kakaako companies. Most of the onlookers, including Major Wilson of the Boys' Brigade, confessed to astonishment at the precision and attention nf t'e boys in their movements, as well as ut the i,elf-i«)ssession and ability of the lioy officers who conducted tbe drill. The sports were cleanly contested and with no bad incidents of temper or rowdyism. Kakaako rose in its might and overwhelmed I'alaina for the first time in the Brigade's history. The secret of this when looked into discloses a succession of hard days of training under an energetic and athletic leader who himself won four medals for his club.

It is quite liable to be only the shout of the multitude to call attention away froni disagreeable facts. The truth of the matter is the world has little or li" concern in what Christian people think. It is concerned solely in how they act. When Christian people take high moral ground and live up to it. the world is put to shame, because its actions in comparison. Bui as it does not choose to bring its actions up to the higher standard or to acknowledge any deficiency in character, it attempts to cover its position and to bring the Christian to its own level, by accusing him of being behind the times. The cry is somewhat disconcerting, but it is a fundamental mistake to be greatly influenced by it. Liberality, when it means a generous attitude toward the truth or an unprejudiced disposition toward other men's opinions, is a desirable and worthy trait in human nature; but when it means a lowering of the moral standards and the indulgence in questionable courses of action, and this is what it does mean in common worldly parlance, it is a sign of weakness and not a virtue. The Christian does well, therefore, not to be driven from his moral position by any such false alarm. As -in illustration of what was said in our former article and as showing how short a step it often is from the highest to the lowest in worldly amusements, it may be noted that the very nest performance, in the same place, following those of the actor who was said to stand for all that was best in the dramatic art. was a thinly disguised prize-fight. What we contended for before, and still maintain, is that the Christian who values his spiritual life and influence will let all these things alone. ism is one of the highest virtues, and as the most intensely American of all our holidays draws near, w c may properly ask what change, if any, should be made in Horace's aphorism to bring it down to date, as expressive of the idea of patriotism as it exists, or oughl to exist, in the thought of every true American? It is to he observed that exalted as the ancient sentiment seems to be, il existed alongside of much that was mistaken and 11.iii 1 t in though) and practice. In the first place the individual was the creature of the state. The highest end of his own Cxi tencc was found in her glory and supremacy. There was no recognition of the value of the individual. When his country claimed his service there were no rights of ins own thai he could urge ill opposition to this claim. His chief value lay in Ins ability to light his country's battles, and his highest meed of glory was t.i ilie in her defense; hence In the national the poet's thought, thought and practice, moreover, slavery and class distinctions were permitted, while outside nations were haled or des- — pised. Mow these are views from which the modern world is fast departing. We live lost of all iii the age of individualism. \'o civilized nation now looks upon its members as mere lighting machines. The individual feels himself to have, and is recognized by the state as having, a value in himself ami rights of his own which no power above him can invade. Class distinctions are in growing disfavor, while the various nations are learning to respect each other. < lb-1 vio'tslv then our definition of patriotism must In- framed on a hroaded basis than that of Horace's day. The patriot of to- day might result in death. Hut to live is a different matter. To practice self-denial without notice, to be unpopular for the right, to bear the sneer of a self-indulgent world in the defense of fundamental virtues, are things which test the patriotic fibre. How often do we see or hear of men who have risked their lives in hatlie, who have not the self-control to rule their own low desires nor the moral courage to resist the evil solicitation of others. We cannot call them patriots: nor can any man be such, whatever demonstration he may make, whose influence works toward the demoralization of national life and character. must respect the rights and personal The duty of living for our country is it\ of other men.

As modem nations lind other means than war of settling their differences, the opportunity for the exhibition of supreme devotion to one's country. must be found in some other field than thai of battle, We are beginning to see that national Supremacy should be a supremacy of virtue, of intelligence and character. The patriot's supreme opportunity, therefore, lies in bis so using his power and influence that the forces which bad to such a sunrcmacv are given full play.

Hut il we say that instead of it being a "sweet and glorious thing to die for one's country" we say it is "a sweet and glorious thing to live for one's country," we have a thought that meets the case. In living for country in the above sense the citizen does not have his individuality suppressed by a false conception of his relation to the state, but rather the broadest scope, for ils voluntary exercise al nig beneficent lines. This is the essence of patriotism. Patriotism must he voluntarily rendered before it is worthy of the name. An unwilling service contains no virtue, nor is it worthy of any praise.

At that tint'- w<- may fittingly recall not only our struggle for independence, hut our subsequent victories as well. It is right that we should remember our hospitality to the poor and i impressed of other nations, our great development in wealth, in in- ventions, in schools, our expansion of territory and the place which our nation has conn- to hold among the nations of tl-i earth. It is such themes as these that furnish inspiration for the orator and give the iubil.-mt side to our feelings as the Fourth of Tuly draws near. Hut by dwelling on these alone and forgetting the responsibilities they entail, we miss the full significance of the day and fail in catching the meaning of patriotism in its real sense. Patriotism does not consist in displays of hunting or in the noise of cannon and firecrackers, nor even in exuberant speech making. These are �THE all appropriate and have their place, but we should not miss the profoundcr lessons of the day. In the midst of all our rejoicing let us remember that it is "a sweet and glorious thing to live for one's country." To us who live in Hawaii nei, the lesson comes with double force. We have many problems to meet which will test our patriotism to the utmost. Shall the individual have his rights? Shall the weak be protected? Shall these fair islands he lifted into a worthy place under the Stars and Stripes? There is no need of specifying tvils. Every thoughtful and intelligent person knows what they are. Let the coining Fourth of July from the he a time for chief executive down to the humblest elector, including jurist, journalist, preacher, teacher, we shall all resolve to live in a manner worthy <>f our heritage and opportunity.

AMENT'S WORK IN PEKING The American Bible Society has received a report from its agent in Peking, F.

D„ whom Mark Twain and others severely criticised during the Boxer troubles of 1900: Brles 5 FRIKNI) Bible Society work has been immediately and surprisingly prosperous. This has been due almost wholly to the interest, sympathy and aid of the American Hoard missionaries, who have supervised the distribution of our books during my absence from the field. I desire especially to mention the benefits we have derived from the efforts of Dr. W. S. Anient, who, although already overburdened with a thousand cares, yet found time to look after the interests of those of our men who escaped death and returned destitute to Peking. Through his untiring efforts, too, our books were distributed over the disturbed region, while it was still in a chaotic state, and at a time when his great personal bravery and intense love for tile Chinese led him safely over a field beset with dangers. Xor has bis interest been confined to this period. Much of such success as I have enjoyed in directing this important work has been made possible by the advice and unselfish aid Dr. .Anient has given me, and OUT colporteurs have been spiritually strengthened and better equipped by his teachings. I may he excusable, therefore, for speaking of the impression Dr. Anient has left among the people of North China, as a contrast to what was so unjustly and untruthfully said of him last year. Briefly, then, I found only a widespread and very general feeling of deep gratitude to Dr. Anient in every city and town I have visited. Almost always the first question that came from the officials or from the people was, "Do you know Dr. Anient?" and an affirmative replywas sure to bring forth talcs of the good he bad done; how he had traveled utiles to save this family or that individual; how he had stood between soldier and the people; how he had settled peaceably and justly the differences of whole districts; how the destitute met with bis bounty; how helpless women and children received his protection; how the sick were cared for; how, in fact, ten thousand things were done that seemed beyond tlie ability of any one man. What a contrast, this unanimous testimony of the Chinese, to the twisted reports that were published, and to sonic extent believed by the people at home. To the work of Dr. Anient, more than to that of any other, is due the kindly reception we meet with on this field, and the ease with which our work is prosecuted. The thanks of the Bible Society are due to Dr. Anient for the untold good he has done our work; and these thanks are likewise due to the other members of the American Board Mission in Tien Tata and Peking for aiding and continuing our work during such a period of difficulty.— From the Nnv York Obsertfcr. LETTER FROM DR. C. F. RIFE Kusaie, Caroline I sis., Mar. 28, 1902. Dear Dr. Bingham: It is now almost a year since we saw you, and is but a few days until we shall Ik- expecting our steamer. I say "our" steamer. We have no special interest in it, except that it brings us mail much more frequently than we were in the habit of having it. She makes three trips from Sydney to Hongkong and back each year, making six stops here. I do not know whether there will be any mail for us this time, as it is her first trip from Hongkong, but we shall probably get some outside news. We are all wondering very much what the Hoard has in store for us in the way of a surprise this year. Whatever comes, it will be unexpected to us, for we never know what to expect. You will have heard of the condition of the Carrie and Annie, and that it was necessary to send her home at the end of the Marshall tour. We wanted very much t<> have her go to the Gilberts, but ■ it was out of the question. Mrs. Rife and the little ones remained at Kusaie, and cared for the boys who remained It was very hard for me to be so long from them, almost three months. I feel that our work is rather monotonous, am' it is essential that we all have the change of the trips, both missionaries and pupils. VVe found the work in better condition than I expected, considering the fact that the touring had been so imperfectly done the past few years. I visited two islands for the first time since the teachers were landed, and found the people taking hold in a very encouraging way. The work has a very good outlook at Nauru. They have received but 25 into the church, but there are a number of applicants. When we landed the missionaries, the 1500 people could not have gotten fifteen suits of clothes together. Hut when we were there, 1 spoke to about 500 <>r 600 people, and I think there were not more than a dozen who were not quite decently clothed. Mr. Delaporte is much in need of a printing press to prepare a literature for the people. We have an old press here which was used in Ebon, and will give it to them when we can get some type to accompany it. We have a good power press now, and hope to do considerable work with it. I am just getting out the first number of a paper for the Marshall Islanders, and will try to remember to enclose you a copy. I hope to he able to get out a physiology during the year, if lwissiblc. My time is very much taken up, as I am alone in the school and am building. Have finished a new church, and am now at work on a kitchen 14x18 feet. �6 THE FRIEND This year will be the fiftieth anniver- sary of the landing of the first mission- aries here and at Ponape. I have suggested to the Knsaians that it would Inappropriate to have a meeting to commemorate the occasion. My large dog and the chickens are doing well, but the bees have all died. I think 1 shall have to give up the notion of introducing bees. It seems to be too wet for them. We enjoyed a visit from Mr. Gray last week. He engaged passage on one of the vessels of the Germans in order to visit some of his islands, and as they came here, be had two days with us. The poor man is having a very hard time, or rather what seems to us missionaries, a hard time. I suppose it is of little consequence when compared to what you and Mrs. Bingham had to endure. They have been at Ponape over a year, and the lumber for their house has only recently come. When it arrived it was landed at a placeeight or ten miles from where they wish to use it, and so now they do not know how or when they will have it to go to work at building. They had a number of boys with them who gave promise of being faithful, and wrote encouraging letters home, hut before they reached their destination, the boys had gone wrong in a single night. He says that it is very hard for him to get natives to work "for him. It seems strange that as they were asking constantly for missionaries while they were not allowed to land, now that they have them, they are no more grateful. Mrs. Rife unites with me in wishing >mt both health and happiness. Yours in the Master's vineyard, C. F. Rife. THE PLEASANT ISLAND MISSION Coming by way of Sydney there was received a month ago, a file of letters from Rev: Ph. A. Delaporte, of dates February ist to March 22, which were full of interest to the friends and contributors of Pleasant Island Mission, and which give a most vivid insight into the condition of that isolated and unique little missionary field. From Mr. Delaporte's letters which were addressed to Rev. O. H.

It will be worth while to notice its salient points, It first provides for closing on Sunday all places where liquor is sold, including the room or part of a room used as a bar in hotels and restaurants. to giving intoxicating liquors in a private dwelling, unless that bouse is a place of public resort. Provision is made for refunding taxes paid upon lkptofs, when a portion of the time for which taxes have been paid falls within a period when sales are prohibited. Forms for entry of results of the special election, arc prepared for filing by the clerk of the municipality. A new election may be petitioned for any time after two years from the date of the last vote. Any person may contest the validity of an election, but must furnish sufficient security to cover the costs before bis petition fqr contest can be filed. This bill differs from county local option in that it provides for the municiWhenever forty per cent of the quali- pality alone.

The daily Advertiser, commenting on the condemnation of this schooner, says: Captains of local steamers, as well as their owners, are now looking sharply to see that the United States internal revenue laws are implicitly obeyed.

"As a matter of fact, every participant, from myself down, fought the battle of Manila bay on coffee alone. The United.

Very truly yours, George Dewev. �THE FRIEND 8 TL hCeristan ife..... There is but one source of life. God is working in the growth of the grasses just as really as in the growth into holiness of the new-born soul. Says Professor liasconi, "The activities of nature are the immediate product of the Divine Mind. The world is a perpetual creation, momentarily suffused with divine thought and feeling." So the l'saliuist teaches. "Thou inakest the outgoing of the morning and evening to rejoice. Thou visitest the earth and waterest it: thou greatly enriches! it with the river of God which is full of water: thou preparest them com, when thou bast so provided for it. Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly ; thou settlest the furrows thereof; thou inakest it soft with showers, thou hlessest the springing thereof." In the world of matter and in the world of mind, God only is the source of life. Are we then like the grasses in the hands of God? Is the Christian life "the immediate product of the Divine Mind," and nothing more? Then we may leave ourselves in the divine hands with no thought about duty and no fear about our destiny. For consider the lilies, into what beauty they grow. And they take no thought. Then why we, if the Christian life has the same divine source? And it has. "In Him we live, and move, and have our being;" our whole being, body and soul; the life that pulses in blood and brain, and the life that exults in thought, and feeling, and will, and love. We get the Christian life by being born from above. And we keep the Christian life by the same divine inworkirtff. "I live." says I'aid : "Yet not I, but Christ liveth in'nie." There is no spiritual life that is not of God. Then why not just tie in his hands as jxissive as the lilies? Simply because we are not lilies. We have another kind of life. And every kind of being has its own law of development Tiie crystals do not grow like the grasses. The grasses do not nest like the birds I*".very thing according to its nature. And human nature is not passive. It thinks, it feels, it wills, it loves. So, even in God's hands, it cannot be fashioned into beauty like the lilies. It must work with God, just as it is written, Work out your own salvation for it is God that worketh in you. So it was no contradiction for Paid to say, "It is not I that live, but Christ liveth in me," and right afterward to say, "1 live by faith." By the verynature of the Christian life it must be the product of these two forces, the divine inworking and the soul yielding in trust and love. And here is another difference between God's working in the lilies and his working in the soul. The immanence of God in nature issues in acts of wisdom and Dower, but, in the human heart, besides all these, in acts of redeeming love. The lilies do not need transforming. But "except a man be bom again, lie cannot see the Kingdom of God. A new life given and accepted. This is the transcendent thing in all this matter of the Christian life, that it is another life, a life of love. Its source is in the divine love, and its essence is the heart's answering love. And this again is why we cannot lie in < 'mil's bands as passive as the lilies, and expect to be transformed into the divine likeness and titled for heaven's blessedness, because love is the very essence of the divine likeness and the condition of all heaven's blessedness.

' - '*° VACATIONS AT HOME School is out, as the long list of closing exercises during the past fortnight amply testifies, and thousands of our Island children are in the first enthusiasm of long vacation. The days of June, the first because of their extreme sultriness, and the last because of their perfect combination of bright skies and cool trade winds, have made the older folk wish their books also might "close over" and all their "lessons" be "said." Many will go away to the other islands or to "the coast" for trips short or long, but many of our people must stay at home. What, then, can be done by the stayers-at-home to make the summer time a season of vacation? Change brings rest. Can we not, then, make some changes in our way of living, find some unnecessaries that may be dropped to make way for more profitable substitutes? Perhaps housekeeping can he made a little simpler. Taking down curtains and putting away bric-a-brac offers less room for dust and more room for breathing, and an abundance of green leaves (always available whether ferns and palms are or are not I may lend a grateful sense of the woods and make the household gods more welcome on their reappearance, bruits instead of made deserts, plenty of cool drinks, and meals served informally on the veranda (even if it is all to small to he called a lanai) have an appropriateness to the season. Surely let us not make formal calls or feel that society has demands on us, hut let us seek every opportunity to run away to Waikiki or Tantalus or one of the many valleys even at the cost of some ex- ertion to reach them. Walking is not so prostrating as the weariness of bodily inactivity. A supper may be carried to Makce Island or some neighboring spot on the beach, or up Pacific Heights or Manoa Valley, by those who are in business all day, and such an excursion gives a holiday feeling even though the time for indulgence is short. After all it is the spirit that is essential to the holiday season. Most of us are always busy—at least have our time fully occupied. We wish it to be so, but if we can do away with the feeling of hurry, can eliminate the unnecessary, can choose what is most worth while, we shall cultivate a sense of repose. Let us this coming month "spend as much time as" we "can with body and with spirit in God's out of doors" and thus, even at home, find for ourselves a good vacation. �10 THE FRIEND RECORD OF EVENTS June Ist. —Mr. John I).

LX HONOLULU, T. H. AUGUST, 1902 EDITORIAL AND GENERAL We extend a hearty welcome to Rev and Mrs. Kozaki. The teachers of government schools and workers in the various departments of missionary work on the other islands are much in evidence in Honolulu just now. Some are here for rest, some for the Summer School. The statement made in the Advertiser a few da\s ago to the effect that the Mills Institute and Kawaiahao Seminary were to be combined is without foundation. There has been some discussion of the of concentrating the educational work of the Hawaiian P.oard, but no steps have as yet been taken to that end. subject The coming of Rev. Mr. Kozaki and bis wife will doubtless be a moans of greatly stimulating the Japanese work. The conference of pastors and evangelists to be held in Honolulu next week should be a good beginning for the visits to the different parts of the field that will naturally follow. We advise all who see the present issue of The FRIEND to read what Dr. Scudder says in his letter about Mr. and Mrs. Kozaki. ( NO. VIII waiian Evangelical Association at its an- it shall be expended.

The publication of the latter will now be discontinued, the Hoaloha taking its place. The Sunday Schools in every quarter are now sending in their orders for the Hoaloha, the subscription price of which is $1.50 per annum, but in package* of live or upward is placed at the low figure of $1 a copy for the year. We are confident that a wide opportunity for good work is now open to this new publication, which is a companion paper of The Friend. Sometime ago the Hawaiian Board passed a vote expressing regret that this once prominent native minister had been installed pastor of the Wainee church at Lahaina. At the last meeting of the Board, held July 18th, it was voted that a statement of its former action be published in The Friend and the Hoaloha. The facts leading to this action are, briefly, these: A few years ago Mr. Kapu was temporarily suspended from the ministery by the Maui Association for conduct of a flagrantly immoral character. Two years or more ago the same Association, on confession of his fault, restored him to his former standing. He has not held any pastoral charge, however, in the meantime, and the Board has on one former occasion declined to assist him when it was proposed to again appoint him to work. Its present action is based on the belief that Mr. Kapu should find a field of usefulness in some other relation than that of the pastorate. The case was referred to the Maui Association. The Case of Rev. S. Kapu The American Board's little schooner, Carrie and Annie. Captain Mitchell, which attempts to take the place of the Morning Star of former years, having been repaired and furnished with some new sails, arrived from San Francisco on Saturday July 5, and sailed away for the various groups of Micronesia on Tuesday, July Bth. She carried supplies for the several missionary families of the American missionaries, and took on from Honolulu a few packages of supplies of the Honolulu missionaries, Mr. and Mrs. Delaporte, of lone Pleasant Island. These packages will probably be landed at Jaluit of the Marshall group, to be forward- The Kaumakapili According to a stateed tlufcice to Pleasant Island by one of the Fire Claims Award ment in the morning German trading vessels. paper a short time ago, the Court of Fire Claims has awarded to new monthly pa- the trustees of Kaumakapili church the The Hoaloha This per, which in a nicas- sum of $46,822, in compensation for the ure is the successor of a long series of destruction of the church and its furnishperiodicals published in the past, by the ings in the Chinatown fire, which ocmissionaries and religious teachers of the curred at the time of the plague.

The church is to be congratulated upon this fortunate circumstance. The problem before it moreover, is not a difficult one, although it contains several elements. In the first place the membership of the church is quite widely scattered since the fire, and the Hawaiians are averse to traveling long distances to church. Then again there is the tendency of the Hawaiians to more and more come to Honolulu to live, showing that here is to be the place of greatest opportunity for helping them with the Gospel. These facts would indicate that the church that is in a condition to exert a continuous and widely extended influence will be the church of power in the future. Kaumakapili just now holds the key to the situation. This would seem to consist in having several well sustained centres of influence instead of one. For instance let the present neat and inexpensive chapel at Palama be moved from its present secluded location out on one of the lots now held by the trustees, on King street, and made into a pastor's house. Then on the main lot eroct a neat and inexpensive rfiurcli. Let a modest chapel be built up Nuuanti Valley in the neighborhood of the little chapel at Waikahalulu, and the chapels in Pauoa Valley and Maemae be repaired, and a basis of operations would be established in a number of important centres. Then let two or three pood native ministers be employed to work these fields and hold services in the chapels. The advantages of such a method would be that the influence of the church would be exerted where the people are and there would be from $30,000 to $35,000 of the money left to invest, to aid in supporting the pastors and in carrying on the work. On the other hand if the whole sum of money awarded by the Court of Fire Claims should be expended in putting up a single large building, a much smaller number of the people would be reached and the burden of maintaining the work would fall entirely upon this comparative few, and much of the money would be spent in keeping up a costly building instead of extending the work of the Gospel. We hope our Kaumakapili brethren will see their opportunity. �4 _~ THK FRIEND . One feels a hesitancy .•' in attempting an ediof as torial on the subject intemperance it now exists in the Hawaiian Islands. There is £0 much to say, which needs to be wisely and calmly said, that only the urgency of the case would lead to the discussion at all. There is one fact, however, that lioth the testimony of those in the best position to know, and the nature of the situation as seen in the bare statement of it, would seem to place beyond a reasonable doubt, and that is that the 1 lawaiian people are being sacrificed to appease the greed of the liquor sellers. In the days of their heathenism, the 1 lawaiians used to sacrifice the bodies of their HumanSacrifice ~ slain enemies Upon the altars of their gods. We recoil with horror from the thought, and are thankful for the coming of a religion which was able to deliver them from such a practice. And yet under the so-called protection, and as a part of the very people who gave them this religion, they are permitted to be immolated before a Moloch whose rapacity exceeds '.bat of any demon a superstitious people ever imagined. At the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association at Lahaina, one of the most prominent of the native pastors, after relating what he saw passing under his own eyes, said to the writer, "It makes me feel sorry, for I know that in twenty or twenty-five years there will be no more Hawaiian people." There will, of course, be difference of opinion as to the length of time needed to complete the destruction, but this is an irrelevant matter. The fact remains that the destruction is going on. It is not a matter either of who is to blame, or what view one may lake theoretically or otherwise ot the method of licensing now- in vogue. It is aside from the' question also to discuss what the people themselves may desire or whether there may not be other causes working to the same end ; the hard fact still remains that the Hawaiian people are being made the victims of a business that gives nothing of value in return for what it takes, and that makes its gain from the' lower appetites and desires of men and women. Testimony to the' evil being wrought by the increased indulg ence in intoxicating drink came' to hand previous to the Lahaina meeting in the reports of tln- superintendents of the I la waiian Hoard's work in the different islands. None of the' writers of c urse knew that the others would mention the subject. This testimony is valuable be cause spontaneous and unsought and it shows bow wtclelv extended the evil is and how uniformly it is working to one end wherever it is. This testimony was fully corroborated by the pastors and delegates-to the churches.' The result was the passing of the resolution to be sent to the Governor, which is given on enir tem- and with the general principle that law perance page.

These leaders in American evangelical seminaries for training ministers are thus f mnd in company with such thoroughly seep deal European teachers as Schmiedel, Csener. and Van Maiie'ii. These critics absolutely discard as impossible all Miracles and Divine Inspiration. Hence Van Manen of Leyden denies that Paul wrote any of the epistles attributed to him. or that anything is certainly known about that apostle, lb is so absorbed in his sceptical convictions that he is absolutely insensible to the intense personality which throbs throughout Paul's epistles and proclaims his authorship as light proclaims the sun.

Such is Higher Criticism when perverted by the unscientific and shallow assumption that the Supernatural is incredible, for that is the ruling canon of the critics named. It is pitiful that Christian teachers should parade' in such company. Yet it may be counted a good thing that such an exposure should be made of misleading principles which have so greatly governed the Higher Critics of the Old Testament. Now that the same methods are applied to the New, the absurdity of tlie'ir conclusions becomes plain to view, when the obvious internal evidence of the genuineness of Paul's epistles is discarded. Let us not be misunderstood as contemning all conclusions of Higher Critics, many of which have much force. But they are to be received with caution, because largely mingled with human conjecture and fancy. Still more do we respect established conclusions of Science as to the age of the earth, and origin of the human race. These do not at all affeci the glorious facts of Christ's Redemptive work. Christians need not fear any permanent success for this unbelief in the Bible.

SCUDDER The following letter relating to Rev. and Mrs. Kozaki, who have recently come to Hawaii to engage in a brief evangelistic campaign among the Japanese ped- pie here, has lately been received from Dr. thu'tico of this aggressive denonrimtion, she brought to her husband a most devoted, enSeudder.

Those who know her best A niicbi Kozaki, who are about to visit Hawaii speak of her as fully one half of the Kozaki on an evangelistic tour among the Japanese, team. may be of interest to the readers of Tiik Kuikmi. Mrs. Kozaki was a member of the ii>si graduating class of the Doshisha, which gave to Japan so many of its Christian leaders and brought the name of the college into such prominence. His first great work was in the capital city of Tokyo where he established the well known llancho Kuniiai (Congregational) Church. Here he displayed remarkable tact' in winning men from very varied walks in life. I well remember attending a communion service in this Church some fourteen years ago. Among those received sat a farmer on the front seat, clad in ordinary native dress and with bare feet, while but a foot or two away were seated one of the highest judges in the Empire and a Japanese I'eer, graduate of Vale University, dressed of course as befitted their stations in life. The building was thronged to the doors and the service a model of simplicity. By patient unremitting labor in simple quiet fashion Mr. Kozaki built up what was then in many respects the most remarkable Church in the country. At the same time he was also editor of two of the leading Christian publications, one a weekly periodical, the other a monthly magazine. Though these he influenced a very wide circle scattered all over the Empire, and it is doubtful whether any Japanese Christian was doing more for the upbuilding of Christianity here than he. From this most important sphere Mr. Kozaki was for a time called to the Presidency of the Doshisha and in this connection he visited the United States for a period of study in Vale University. After a few years, however, he became convinced that the pastorate offered the sphere in which he could accomplish most for the Kingdom of Christ, and a second time he went to Tokyo :now to assume the leadership of the Kcinanzaka Church. He began work at a most critical time when the antiforeign reaction had played sad havoc with Church life and the splendid advance of the Christian army in Japan seemed to have been turned into a disastrous retreat. In the same quiet manner as before, however, he took hold of the affairs of his new charge, gathered the people together and laid places for an aggressive campaign. At the same time he was carrying forward his editorial work. Finally a year ago when the Twentieth Century Forward Evangelistic movement was inaugurated he became one of its leaders, saw his own Church revived and this year followed up the advan- by a most successful gospel campaign. Perhaps the chief cause of Mr. Kozaki's pre- tage eminence as a Christian leader is his staunch adherence to the truth. Throughout all these years of controversy his countrymen have never been at a loss where to find him. Others once known as widely as he for their successful leadership have brought reproach upon themselves and the cause of Christ by lapsing from the faith, hut Mr. Kozaki has never swerved in his allegiance to his Master. His great wisdom and gentle tact have also endeared him to his people. No stronger contrast could be imagined than that presented by Mr. Kozaki and the evangelist Kimura who did such a good work in Hawaii some months ago. Yet after a few weeks association in the gospel campaign in Tokyo Air. Kimura has come to look upon Mr. Kozaki with rare admiration and even veneration. Mr. Kozaki has a remarkable helpmeet in bis wife. Graduated at the Methodist Girls' School in Tokyo and trained under the in- The Hawaiian work should feel most deeply permanently the influence of the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Kozaki.

It is no small matter that they have SO secured the cooperation of the Emigration companies that a large share of the expense involved in this visit is to be borne by these corporations. Let every friend of the progress of Christian work in the Islands unite in fervent prayer that the Spirit of God may be poured out upon Mr. and Mrs. Kozaki and that their brief mission may mean a new era of advance for the Kingdom of the Master both in Hawaii and Japan. In this connection it may be added that the Question of conserving the results of the faithful labor of love carried on in behalf of the Japanese in Hawaii by keeping in close tonh with those converted there who have returned here and using them for the extension of Christian influence and work is being seriously considered just at present. On a recent tour through Hiroshima and Yamaguchi Mr. Miya- ma. a temperance advocate, found Christians from Hawaii scattered in many towns and villages. His report has stirred up no little interest. The outcome may show that what has been done in the Islands is to prove of lasting benefit to Japan. DoremUS Seudder. June ->X, iooj. LETTER FROM DR. ARTHUR H. SMITH The following letter from Dr. Smith. who has had long experience and is one of the keenest observers in China, will be of interest to the readers of Thk Friend at the present time. On tiik (Ikanh Canal fn Route for Shantung, June 16, 1902. To TiiF Editor ok Tiik Friend:— I avail myself of the enforced idleness of a day with a strong headwind in which the boat can not even move, to send a few lines about China and its present conditions. The most immediately impressive fact is the prevailing hot winds from the south, and the circumstance that down to the present time there has been very little or no rain. Where we arc at present (about half way between and our Shantung destination) the wheat crop on which in northern Cliina so much depends has been an almost complete failure, and hardly anything has yet been planted. From appearances it will be too late for anything but Indian corn, beans, sweet-potatoes and the like. On this densely populated plain this makes an amount and a degree of suffering which can be imperfectly appreciated in your fertile and beautiful Islands. But this is far from all or the worst. All over China this appears to have been a phenomenally dry year. Such a water-famine as has prevailed in Hongkong during the spring, is unexampled. Thousands of Chinese have been obliged to scoop up a little from the in its use under these conditions in a time of plague is not an encouraging nor an agreeable fact to contemplate. In southern China similar conditions have prevailed over several provinces, and there was grave fear for a time in the Yang-tzu valley lest the rice crop be lost. gutters, and their economy �6 The importance of these events lies not alone in their relation to food supply, but to the preservation of social order. China is in a condition of great unrest. * For many months there has been an extensive rebellion raging in the southern province of Kuangsi, of which it is impossible at the north to get clear and trustworthy accounts. From the best information available, it would seem that it is not unlike the rising against the Manchu Dynasty a little more than half a century ago, known as the "T'ai Ping rebellion" which lasted for half a generation, devastated the fairest half of the Empire, and destroyed an incomputable number of lives. But for foreign help it might never have been put down, and there are some who witnessed its rise and fall, (as for example Dr. W. A. P. Martin) who have never THE FRIEND formed papers in the U.

Foreign troops arc being withdrawn from China, the instalments of the Indemnity are being slowly and with difficulty paid, and many are trying to take account of stock, and to see what after all we have saved from the great Boxer uprising. It is for one thing quite clear to the most obtuse anti-foreign Chinese that the foreigner can not be driven out, and that the Christian Church against which much relentless fury was directed is practically immortal—having been slain as was rightly supposed, hut having risen from the dead. The spiritual condition of the Church is in some places and in some respects better and stronger than before, but in others worse. Persecution has not destroyed it, though so many were killed, but covetousness, revenge, and the dangers of prosperity have left in many places deep marks. It is much to be regretted that the authorities of the Roman Catholic Church do not seem to care to insist upon, or even in many regions to advise a conciliatory policy toward outsiders. The result is such a sowing of dragon's teeth as is widely thought to mean a coming harvest of future ills not less serious than those of the past, with the additional possible feature of open hostility on the part of the Catholics toward the Protestants. It is not surprising that mere men of the world disregarding all religious considerations, frequently represent (and doubtless believe) that China would be far better off today had she never heard of any "Western religion"—a view cordially adopted by her own scholars. It is easy to expose the inadequacy of this position, but to suggest a remedy for the present and especially for the prospective evils involved is far more difficult. If the "Powers" could come to some sort of an understanding, and terminate the distinctly political policy of the Romanist Church as a menace to the autonomy of China and thus to the peace of the World, the condition of things would soon improve. But there is no probability of such an agreement, or of any agreement other than in externals, and China will not unlikely continue to remain the foot-ball of the Nations, until some different phase of the trouble is presented. It does not follow that because Boxerism failed, that there will be no further armed struggles on the part of this ancient and mighty Empire. The prohibition of the importation of weapons is a direct stimulus to their manufacture in a scale never before attempted. The national feeling of the Chinese (which represents what elsewhere is termed "patriotism") was never so stirred as during the past few years.

WESTERVELT The Evangelical Association of the churches of the Hawaiian Islands held its annual session in Lahaina the first week in July. The ministers of the various islands unanimously expressed their grief at the enormous increase of saloons and the resulting increase of drunkenness among the Hawaiians. A large committee was appointed to draft resolutions to be sent to the Governor, asking him to suppress this evil as far as is in his power. One point in the resolutions is quite important. It calls attention to the fact that the Governor is the appointee of the President of the United States, and is not subject to the ballot of the people, and, therefore, can only be reached by petition. The resolutions read as follows: Whereas there has been a large increase of saloons in our islands during the past two years, And Whereas, all the reports from the Hawaiian Ministers to this Hawaiian Evangelical Association testify to the alarming increase of drunkenness resulting therefrom, And Whereas, government exists for the best interests of the people and we look to our government to suppress rather than promote evil, And Whereas, our Governor holels his office by appointment of the President of the United States and is therefore in great measure independent of local control and can only be reached by petition, Therefore, be it Resolved, That we, the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, now in cession at Lahaina, respectfully and earnestly request the Governor of this Territory to use his power for the suppression of this evil. During Governor Dole's absence in the there was considerable official discussion concerning extending the limits for liquor saloons along Queen street to Kawaiahao Church yard. Governor Dole, however on his return, decided against the extension, although the other officials were strongly in favor. It is comparatively easy for the officials in subordinate positions to advocate measures which are not for the highest welfare of the people and leave the entire onus to rest upon the Governor. east can easily keep liquor out if they try. (2) Put the U. S. revenue officers on the trail of the makers of "swipes." (3) The use of beer (and of course stronger lieiuors) decreases the power to resist disease. The leper has enough to bear now. (4) Any use of alcoholic liquors is a prohibition of a chance of recovery, if remedies can be found for the disease. Sixth. Dealers' licenses are granted for $500. This is practically the same as a wholesaler's license in its power to authorize the sale of all kinds of liquors with the addition that since it is a so-called business by itself, the dealers may sell ardent spirits in any quantity not less than one gallon—and wine, beer and ale not less than one dozen bottles. Drinking such purchased liquors is prohibited on the premises controlled by the dealer. Seventh. Retail liquor saloon licenses are given for $1000 annually within a certain limited territory. This territory was outlined during the days of the Republic of Hawaii. And can now only be changed by the Treasurer of the Territory, with the consent of the Governor or of the Acting Governor in case of the Governor's absence. The Acting Governor has been responsible for certain changes which it is possible the Governor would not have considered, but which could not well be revok- Several children have lately been res- ed when the Governor returned to office.

In facture of malt liquors over fifteen years ago the Minister of the Interior was authorized to issue a brewery license for fifteen years, with no provision for extension. This license expired some time ago and the Treasurer of the Territory about two months ago. on his own responsibility, issued an unauthorized extension or new license to the brewing company. It is difficult to understand how that license can be worth the paper it is written on—let alone the $150.00 which the owners of the brewery paid for it. This license cost $150.00 a year and a tax of five cents a gallon for all malt liquors made and sold. Second. Beer saloons selling nothing else but the beer manufactured in the territory and paying a fee of $250.00 could be located by the Treasurer of the Territory wherever he saw fit. Judge Estee of the U. S. District Court decided that this provision was in conflict with inter-state law and ordered Treasurer Wright to close up this class of saloons. Mr. Wright's failure to take action has made him subject to a trial for contempt of court before Judge Estee. These are the celebrated and widely advertised Primo Beer saloons. In this case as well as in that of the brewery the Treasurer has apparently been on the side of evasion rather than enforcement of law. Third. According to the Penal laws for 1898 light wine, beer and ale saloons can be licensed for an annual fee of $200 each, provided that "not more than three such licenses shall be issued for each of the Judicial Districts in the Territory" and also provided that no such license shall 'be issued for such a saloon within two miles of a retail liquor saloon. Nuuanu Valley. Waikiki and Kalihi were to be considered Judicial Districts. Fourth. A Distiller's license can be granted for a fee of $250 a year. No such licenses appear to have been issued. Certainly according to official reports there are no distilleries in operation at the present time. Fifth. Wholesale Vending licenses are granted to wholesale merchants for $500 a year. This allows any one who has a license to sell merchandise to include the sale of intoxicants of all kinds "in quantities not less than the A leading editorial in the Advertiser of July 17, makes a strong, sensible plea against permitting any kind of a saloon in the leper settlement.

"FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH" Fight 1 that is the word to the young men of today. "Peace conferences" and "Peace Societies" are well enough in their way, but their emphasis is on the barbarity of certain modes of warfare, and mainly political. There will always be war while there is sin; for sin is war! War upon the things that ought to be by the forces of things as they are. Therefore, oh young men, fight! Punch the bag and develop a muscle, for a good muscle helps to fire the brain. Keep the eye clean and the heart strong, by avoiding alcohol and tobacco and late hours, and by inhaling pure air, morning sunlight, and wholesome fexid. Fight! with the brain. Compel its attention till the page or the tool yields up its secret, and you can go forth a masterartisan, either with books or machines. The world is calling loudly for men with trained muscle, trained eye, trained mind who can not do anything; but who can do one thing, and and do it so well, that employers are willing to compete for such a service. Fight! with the Soul. Drive the hammer with a prayer, and wield the pen. with a hymn. Let the bag of tools be a sure witness to consecrated manhood. Fight! so that the suggestion to labor less than sixty minutes to the hour will never be made a second time. So that the whistle to stop work will be discord compared to that music in the Soul, conscious of honest labor and receiving work as a divine commission. Fight! Repel the suggestion that the Christian is a puny man with flabby flesh and jellyfish mind. Never be tired at election-time and be ye more interested in the sinners who vote early and often, than in the saints who appear to be dead, or ought to be. Don't argue with a man as to whether Jonah was swallowed by a whale; or whether Balaam's ass made a speech; but find out if he himself swallows so much that there is little left for wife and children. Know if his speech is kind to the woman he took from her happy home, and to the little ones that play at his knee, and if these things are not as they ought to be, fight! Hit him in his moral and mental make-up so that his soul will know a Christian from a faker. Fight for the Church! Hate the lie with an undying hatred, that says that most preachers are time-servers, and have an easy berth; that says that most members are hypocrites more or less; that the THE FRIEND Churches are only for the rich and welldressed, and are unwilling to help the poor to get higher; that only women and children go; and that the world as a whole is going to the devil. Hate and fight these malicious messengers of meanness and misery. Defend the Church and God'l world with a well-preserved body, a clear strong cheerful mind, an eye that flashes at impurity, and laughs at every child, an ear shut to every slander and nasty voice, and a soul so full of music, of God and love for men that your trumpet shall sound a song of joy every day you live. Herbert Sydney Cox, in The Evangelist. AMONG THE YOUNG PEOPLE The Convention at LahaChrlstian Endeavor ma was not all that was hoped for, there having been a misunderstanding concerning the time set for it. The Christian Endeavor people, however, good humoredly accepted the rather unfortunate hour from six to seven, imme- portions of Scripture. By common consent, the people from the valley of Halawa, Molokai, are credited with the finest singing and lessons. The singing was under the leadership of Mr. J. Nakaleka. This man must be a leader of more than ordinary skill, and is reported to have been a student at Lahainaluna. There has been a fine report given also of the large Sunday School which came from Hookena under the leadership of Mr. T. K. R. Amah) and Mr. T. N. Haae. It is hard to calculate the good which is the outcome of such gatherings as this, but anyone who has seen and beard the well prepared and decorous exercises will be slow to believe that the chances for demoralization which such gatherings present cast the balance against their effectiveness. The Sunday Schools in their annual meeting heartily indorsed the new paper the "Hoaloha," and the management proposes to make it an efficient organ to bring before Sunday School scholars the best possible material on Sunday School topics and general matters of interest for the family. The Young Men's Bible Class of Kawaiahao have determined to promote the social life of the class, and had their first outing on Saturday. the 19th.

On his first visit to a foreigner's house, a Japanese gentleman once said tt) me, "It seems very strange to us to thing of having to hang yourself on a chair when you want to sit down, or of laying yourself on a shelf when you want to lie down, but 1 suppose it seems just as strange to you to lie down at night where you have been walking anel sitting all day." Coming to Hawaii, the Japanese have thus far, I believe, rarely built their own houses. Most of them have not come to stay; and they live in such houses as are provided for them, or as they can afford to rent. Many are in tenement-houses, where they submit to the discomfort of sitting on a floor which has only a straw matting over it. Usually, the family occupies but one room, the cooking being done on the verandah or in a little shed in the rear. To one who has seen the neatness of even the humblest homes in Japan, the lack of neatness in many of the Japanese tenement houses is at first surprising. Often, where the rooms themselves seem clean and attractive, the verandahs and surrounding premises are strewn with wooden boxes, tins and other debris and are apparently never cleaned. This state of things is doubtless partially clue to the use of stairs and passage-ways, and verandahs and back yards in common with other tenants—something to which the occupants have not been accustomed in the homeland. It is on the plantations that we long to see changes which will make the homes more comfortable and attractive. At present the Japanese laborers are for the most part crowded in tenement houses such as have been described with but one rooms for each family, and no other place but the verandah where even a rain-coat can be hung to dry. In the earlier days the laborers mostly left their families in Japan, but now they are sending for them, about twenty wives coming by every steamer, and if each family could have a separate cottage such as is furnished to the Portuguese, the change might go far in helping to inculcate morality and self-respect. Already such provision is made for the Japanese on some of the plantations. The representatives of the Japanese Government, professional men, bankers, and many of the merchant class resident here, live in separate houses, furnished in Occidental style, containing all the comforts of American homes, and suggestive of the home life they tend to cultivate.

"Dr. Maud Allen who has just returned from India gave a vivid description of the need of this uplifting work by the Indian women. Japan is a new field where comparatively little work is done, but of late some few workers have felt a deep desire to see the work greatly enlarged there. There are large factories there where hundreds of girls are employed and it is here a crusade is planned. Miss Taylor proposed this plan, that one association or more, if all are small, band together and pledge themselves to give so much each year towards sending a missionary to some foreign field. She said some associations were already doing this and were very happy in it. The girls of the coast voted unanimously to try it. "The workers from abroad tried to impress upon the girls that there is something in the Christian life that is of practical value to help one in all the details of life. The really most helpful thing to the girls was the heart to heart talks the workers had with them. "Saturday was class day. All donned their college colon and had a gala day. Sunday morning after breakfast all were invited to join in family worship, "just like home," in the rotunda of the building.

It did me a world of good and I so often wished that you and your girls could have been there. As the great ocean waves came dashing up almost on the doorsteps of the building they seemed to bring greetings from Honolulu.

Each calendar year a new set of statistics is called for. The labor of collecting, compiling and forwarding these statistics is done by Mr. Emerson and it is desirable to have the'in as full as possible. Mr. Emerson, chairman of the committee for a monument for the missionary fathers, reported $144.95 ;is already contributed by the churches and in the bank drawing interest at four per cent. The plan is to continue the year collections till a sufficient sunt is secured for the erection of u fitting work of art, either a series of tablets in Kawaiahao church with the names of the successive missionary reinforcements, or a monument possibly on the grounds of the cluireh.
