R E Q ES T was recently
\ \\ made by the Hongwanji
If -t\- Buddhist Mission to the
rteof>s2j Chamber <>f Commerce for
indorsement of their plan to go before
the publk in soliciting $30,000 with
which to complete the building of their
temple.
The committee of the Chamber of
Commerce which took up tins request
declined to indorse it, but gracefully
avoided any appearance of religious intolerance by expressing the opinion that
"the men back of the project are thoroughly responsible, but that on account
of its l>eing an institution for the worship of Buddhism, the question of contributing to the project should be left
to the individual."
Doubtless there are generous individuals who will give without any further
consideration of the merits of the appeal, but knowing what we do in regard to this propaganda we are not
willing to keep silence. We make our
objection on the following grounds:
(1) The Hongwanji Buddhist propaganda in these islands is strongly antiAmerican.
(2) It is strongly anti-Christian.
(3) It is insidiously undermining
the aims and efficacy of our public
schools.
We are prepared to back up these
statements with very interesting infor-

BETTER MOVIES
A strenuous effort has been put forth
by some of our Honolulu ladies during
the past year to have the general tone
of the moving picture shows improved.
No one who has not looked well into
this problem can have any idea how
difficult it is to make even the slightest
impression u|>on this great on-moving
leviathan of the entertainment business.
The League for Good Films, established
in this city last year, and particularly
its president, Mrs. F. J. I.indeman,
have made an impression upon it here,
but at what cost of time and effort very
few persons have any idea whatever.
They have succeeded in having during
the school year a clean and interesting
matinee on Friday afternoons for children, and have probably made sufficient
impression upon the managers of some
of the theaters to secure more active
co-operation from them if only they
can be persuaded that there is sufficient
public demand for greater care in film
selection.
Perhaps the co-operation of the people of the community has been as much
as could be expected in the first year
of the league's work, but it is regrettable that it has been so apathetic
that at the last meeting of the League
much discouragement was evident, and
some were inclined to give up the attempt. Fortunately courage carried the
day, and it was decided that, though
the matinees would be discontinued
during the school vacation, they would
once more consider the question of reopening when the schools begin again
in the autumn.
Representatives of the Y. M. C. A.
made investigation three years ago of
the possibilities of getting better movies
in our city; The Friend gathered a
great deal of material on the subject;
earnest desire has been expressed by
managers of Settlements in this city for
better films. In every case the time
demanded for accomplishing anything
definite has been found to be so great
that it cannot be undertaken by those
who have wished to do it. Here we
have a group of ladies who have shouldered that tremendous burden and have
made a beginning of success at it, but
the community has not given them the
backing they ought to have.
We make this appeal to the community now, with the hope that sentiment in aid of the League for Good
147
No. 7
Films will be created during the summer, so that when the fall season opens
the ladies will realize that the |>eople
are more generally back of them, and
will be encouraged to undertake the
work for another year. The subject
ought to be brought to the attention
of every organization in the city that
is interested in the moral welfare of our
young people.
THE GREAT REVIVAL OF
IDEALS.
When the war first broke in fury
upon the world, each nation felt itself
answerable to the judgment bar of
humanity, and made haste to issue a
Inxik in defense of its action—Germany,
her White Book; Kngland. her White
Paper; France, Serbia and Belgium,
their Yellow, Blue and Gray Books,
each endeavoring to prove itself true to
the ideals to which society had hitherto
required allegiance as the respectable
duty of every modern state. It was
only in defense of those ideals that any
government could count upon its citizens for support in war.
Dark Days. The early collapse of
(iermany's morals, however, shown in
her disregard of treaties, and ylunging
into unprincipled violation of Belgium,
brazenly acknowledging the indefensible
wrong and proposing that after she had
killed her victim she would make suitable restitution —these, and her daily
growing list of inhuman acts seemed to
many to render impossible the maintenance of faith in ideals. Thus faith
declined and in its place came a treatening reign of horror, rage and spirit
of vengeance. The beast began to
show his teeth threatening to triumph
over the human in man. Soldiers returning after some months at the front
expressed amazement at the change that
had taken place. The lofty sentiments
prevailing at the first call to war had
given place to the grim business of human butchery. Those were dark days
in the outlook for humanity; was civilization, after all, only a veneer and
Christianity a failure? To many it
looked that way.

The Revaluation
THE FRIEND
of Life. But it has believe that the suffering of one in-
ever been God's way in history to come
the rescue. Man's extremity is His
opportunity. The excess of horror made
men ready to sacrifice anything to bring
humanity back ui>on the plane of human brotherhood.
I lumanity reached
its Gcthsemane, came to its Good Kriday and grasped the truth that henceforth no man liveth unto himself and
no nation liveth unto itself. Men came
to a revaluation of life.
The I 'alley of Decision. A strange
thing has happened.
Many ideals
which three years ago were either nnthought of by the general public, or at
least were regarded as the vagaries of
unpractical men are today accepted by
the world at large as the minimum that
we can agree to. We will cither accomplish them or die in the attempt. I low
is this to he accounted for? It is because men, as individuals and as nations, have gone down into the Valley
of Decision, and faced the great question. "Shall I save my life and lose my
soul ?" and have chosen rather to
"Rise on the stepping stones of their
dead selves to better things."
The NfW Ideals. So, out of that valley, multitudes of men have emerged
with the first real decision to give their
lives for mankind; to subordinate self
to the public welfare; to conquer hate
and discriminate between inhuman governments and their human citizens.
( Hit
of that valley, nations, also, have
emerged determined to set their own
house in order, to wipe out intemperance and insist on a just distribution
of food; to prevent waste and to increase production ; to honor the toilers
on the farm, and correlate all industries; to grant suffrage to women and
to wipe out of their own practise the
last remnants of vicious prussianism
and tyranny. Determined also to treat
enemy prisoners well though their own
are starved by their enemies. Refusing
to retaliate in kind or to wage war
against innocent women and children
though their own are blown to pieces
or crucified.
Refusing to abrogate
their treaties, though the enemy regards its sacred pledges as scraps of
paper. Blessed is the nation that sweareth to its own hurt and changeth not.
And out of that Valley of Decision
we see men and nations coming not
self-centered and alone, but hand in
hand, determined henceforth to walk
together in brotherhood. As with one
voice, growing more distinct with every
passing month, we hear them say, "We
to
-
volves the suffering of all and that no
nation can prosper at the expense of
any other. We must sacrifice ourselves
for each other's welfare. The rights of
small nations are as sacred as those of
larger ones. We believe in the right
of every people to decide its own destiny. We believe in the freedom of
the seas and an equal chance for all,
nor will we lay down our arms till
democracy is made safe in the world
and reasonable guarantees have been
obtained that lasting peace shall be established in the earth."
I las humanity then lost its ideals?
Rather have not the l>est ideals that
have lieen forming under the surface
of consciousness for many years come
now to clear enunciation and glad acceptance in the world. Perhaps we do
not yet begin to realize in what a wonderful revival of ideals we are living.
It is neither wise nor safe to congratulate ourselves on having high ideals,
but it is wise to hold up the best we
have and to insist upon maintaining
them lest we fall into the very same
Ixuidage from which we seek to deliver
others.
TO THE WOMEN OF AMERICA
Herbert C. Hoover, National hood
Director says:
"The world is in want of food.''
Think what that means.
"The annual Waste of food amounts
to one billion dollars.
"Without food conservation we cannot win the war.
"The women of America have never
failed to answer such a call as comes
to them now. The saving of food is
within their sphere."
CRUELTY TO THE SICK
To leave untended a stretch of road
like that between Beretania street and
the entrance to Queen's Hospital, is
nothing less than cruel indifference to
the decent comfort of the sick and the
convalescent who must constantly be
carried over it.
At the makai end of l'ensacola street
by the Agricultural Kxperiment Station
there is a block of road that never was
used, leads nowhere and cannot be of
any use, which has nevertheless been
finished in concrete.
We would like to ask why roads for
which there is no use should be, concreted while the road that leads to

THE RISING TIDE OF REFORM
Waves break high upon the shore and
wash back again. We cannot tell much
about the movement of the sea by any
wave, however high it rolls, but when
wave after wave rolls higher we know
the tide is coming in.
Last winter high expectations were
raised that the vice problem and the
liquor problem in the islands would be
vigorously handled. The Grand Jury
astonished the community with a manifestation of backlxwe that was unprecedented; the Chaml>er of Commerce got
behind the demand for reform ; so did
the churches and philanthropic organizations. General Strong took the wind
out of the sails of those who support
commercialized vice out of benevolent
consideration for the men of the Service, and yet nothing very effective was
done. ()ur efforts at reform are like
the breaking of individual waves
against the shore, each trying to reach
a goal which is just beyond us but
which we can never reach till the ocean
tide itself gets under and back of us.
It looks as though the tide is coming
in. The nation feels its irresistible uplift, and the people are coming to
realize that the forces that are going to
determine the issues of this war are
moral forces. Our great leaders are
speaking forcefully in interest of morals.
Says our Secretary of War, "We cannot allow these young men to be surrounded by a vicious and demoralizing
I am determined
environment.
that our new training camps, as well as
the surrounding zones within an effective radius, shall not be places of temptation and peril.
The War Department intends to do its full part in
these matters, but we expect the cooperation and sup]K>rt of the local communities. If the desired end cannot
otherwise be achieved, / propose to
move the camps from those neighborhoods in ivhich clean conditions cannot
be secured."
The tide is rising. If our local moral
waves will lift their heads again and
pound away they may now be able to
accomplish what they could not do a
few months ago.

enumerated as signers of the petition
in 22 States exceeded the number in
the American Kederation of Labor

The last public rites in his honor

Pioneer of Eighties Is
Called
The death of Jonathan Shaw on June
27th removed one of Honolulu's best
known and respected citizens.
Mr. Shaw came to the islands in 1880.
Three years later he was married to
Klizabeth Delia, daughter of the late Rev.
Sereno E Bishop, D. D., and Mrs.
Bishop, the latter now in her 93rd year.
Mrs. Shaw survives him with three
daughters, the Misses Ruth, Jessie, and
Margaret.
After many years in the employ of the
late John Thomas Waterhouse, Mr. Shaw
filled the office of assessor and collector
of taxes of Oahu under the minister of
finance of the republic, from which he
retired shortly after the inauguration of
the territory in 1900. During his term
of office the first income tax law enacted
in Hawaii was attempted to be enforced,
but it was declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court.
Since that time Mr. Shaw's principal
vocation had been that of business agent
of Oahu College. He also had been treasurer of Central Union Church, bookkeeper for P. C. Jones, and manager of real
estate interests of his own.
A magazine entitled “THE NEW

THE SPIRIT OF HONOLULU
By Vaughan MacCaughey
community creates about itdistinctive local atmosphere,
the product of long time and complex
interplay of many forces. Some communities are rich in tradition; others are
new and raw. Honolulu, with three centuries of most varied history, is a noteworthy instance of a mature and intricate civic spirit.
The outstanding qualities of the local
spirit are not obvious upon first inspection. Hawaii's shades, colors, moods,
caprices, are not immediately perceived.
The essential features of Honolulu life
are tenuous. The choicest and finest effects are subtle, and may wholly evade
the roaming eye. The malihini is prone
to note and exaggerate the superficial
differences between Honolulu and the
mainland cities. The kamaaina is constantly impessred by the fundamental resemblances. Under whatever conditions
it may develop, metropolitan life possesses certain basic likenesses.
This is
particularly true of a seaport. In its
maritime features Honolulu resembles
Manila and Callao; in its old families
and traditions, Boston and New Orleans ; its wonderful mountain background, Havana and Rio dc Janiero;
and in its spontaneous hospitality, Richmond and old Mobile.
Honolulu is the veritable cross-roads
of the Pacific. Here is the inchoate
mingling of the most unrelated sociologic types—the child-hearted Hawaiian,
the domineering American business man,
the sagacious Oriental. Here are great
naval and military stations; here are innumerable missionary and philanthropic
activities. Homes of refinement and
wealth; tubercular and sunless tenements ; a heterogeneous array of public
and private schools; scores of clubs and
socieites—these are representative elements picked at random from the patchwork of the world's most bizarre city.
Honolulu lies along a narrow costal
plain, between the ever-green mountains and the ever-blue sea. The life
of the community is related almost exclusively to the plains and to the sea.
The mountains are a forest-covered stage
drop, a tropic humid foil for the iridescent life of the metropolis. Honolulu
lives along the smiling sea, on the emplains, and in the pleasant valot in the mountains. Four basic
condition with their varying in-
iQIVEKY
|hJ self a
Kd
Huences the spirit of Honolulu. First, it
is a direct desccndent of a primitive Hawaiian grass-thatched village. Second,
it is a great seaport; sandalwood, whale
oil and raw sugar comprise its economic
landmarks. Third, its population is capitalistically and professionally American,
politically Hawaiian, and industrially
Oriental. Lastly, it is a United States
naval and military outpost of supreme
strategic importance.
Honolulu possesses to a rare degree
the spirit of racial friendliness. The
polyglot and polychrome nationalities
from many climes and lands live peacebly together in an atmosphere more
closely approximating that of "brotherlylove" than is known in any other city.
Interracial friction is practically unknown ; most of the altercations, large
and small, that do arise are between
members of the same race. The dominant nationalities—American, Hawaiian,
Japanese, Chinese, Portuguese — mutually respect one another for admirable
racial qualities.
Honolulu has the spirit of wise toleration. There are many creeds, many
castes, many modes of life. They clash
but rarely — even then the clashing is
scarcely audible. The Honolulu spirit is
one of unusual serenity. This is due
to a variety of benign and quiet influences—the balmy climate, the absence of
factories and factory industrialism, the
calm agricultural background of island
life (sugar cane and pineapples are
eighteen-month crops and cannot be hurried), the tranquil habits of the native
Hawaiians, the sedate Orientalism, the
silent, powerful influences of a vast
stormless ocean, an ever-blue sRy, and
the sweet trade winds.
The aggressive twentieth century activities are permeated with the kindly
persuasion of old-time Hawaii. The
native women laden with fragrant garlands ; friendly groves of coco palms;
poignant throbbing of ukulele music in
hushed and brilliant moonlight; tranquil
greenery of taro, breadfruit, and banana;
serene loveliness of coral strands—these
bespeak the old regime, before a nervous
and irksome Occidental civilization found
a landing place upon these white shores
of singing surf.
Community consciousness is manifested, as in all cities, by park and street
plantings. Honolulu displays an exuber-
ant riot of exotic vegetation. This has
come, like the human population, from
the four quarters of the earth. Individualism is still the dominant note;
the movement toward group decisions is
slow and intermittent. In recent years
there has been more team work than
ever before in the history of the city.
Various organizations have cooperated
effectively in local beautification. A few
decades will place Honolulu among the
most beautiful cities of the world. Her
natural environment has long been famous as one of surpassing charm.
The swift world currents pulse
through Honolulu in unceasing systole
and diastole. Wireless news, cablegrams,
royal mail, slow freighter—ambassador,
business exploiter, tourist-, world celebrity—day by day they come and go,
each leaving a residuum, a token, which
becomes part of the civic consciousness.
Honolulu is a restless mid-Pacific micleous — its delicate perceptive threads
radiate in all directions—its periphery is
the rim of the world. It is an insular
microcosm (no island group in all the
world is so far removed from continental lands) ; it is the dynamic centrum of
the pan-Pacific macrocosm.
The spirit of Honolulu symbolizes the
New Fraternalism. Her children, real
and foster, are all true brothers. To her
l>ort come ship! from the vast circuit of
the Pacific Alaska, British Columbia,
Puget Sound, the California coast, Mexico, the Central American states, the
enormous Andean coast line, the farsprinkled island worlds of the South
Pacific, New Zealand, Australia, the East
Indies, the Philippines, China, Korea,
Japan. To all these and to many others
1 lawaii has ever given glad aloha, warmhearted and sincere. It is signficant that
in I lonolulu should be organized the first
I lands-Around-the-Pacific Club.
Decade by decade the nations of the
Pacific world are getting acquainted, not
through the hideous distortions of war,
but with the clear, kind vision of peace.
Sympathy and friendship are magic
touch-stones in international and community life. Honolulu, as the North
Pacific outpost of American civilization,
stands as a mighty Statue of Liberty,
shedding over all her peoples the warm,
unfailing light of Fraternalism.

The Ninety-fifth Annual Conference of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association
INSPIRATIONAL ADDRESSES
AND DISCUSSION’S
By Henry
P. Judd
The recent annual conference of the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association at Kawaiahao Church was different in several
respects from former gatherings; for
example, in the shortness of time, three
and a half days only l>eing devoted to
the sessions, and in the fact that the Sunday School and Christian lindeavor Associations did not hold their annual meetings in conjunction with the Association,
thus making the total number of delegates only 136, instead of the customary
three or four hundred.
In one important respect, however, the
meeting was fully Up to the standard of
the past few years, and that was in the
matter of the inspirational addresses and
discussions of topics bearing on the relations of the church to several of the
problems of present-day life.
There were two series of subjects, the
first being on the theme of the Christian
in the relationships of the church, business and the community. These three
addresses were given in the mornings
before the business sessions and were
marked by a high level of thought and
practicability. Rev. Norman C. Schenck
spoke most interestingly of "The Christian in the Church and showed in a
convincing manner what the Christian's
duties are to the church. Rev. George
E Lake's excellent ]xiper on"The Christian in Business" is produced elsewhere
in this issue. In his first address before
an annual conference in Hawaii, Mr.
made clear what the Christian business man should be and do. The third
address in this series was by Rev. Frank
S. Scudder who illuminated the subject.
"The Christian in the Community," designating numerous fields of endeavor in
which the Christian should liecome interested in order to promote the social welfare and civic betterment of the community.
The second series of addresses pertained to the relationship of the church
to social welfare, to education and to the
spiritual welfare of the community. The
criticism has sometimes been made that
in out conferences of ministers and laymen insufficient emphasis has been laid
on the consideration of subjects of vital
inqKirt to the community as a whole.
Such a charge cannot justly be made
against the program of this year, for
the keynote of the various shakers
seemed to have l>een "serve the community." rather than some selfish keynote.
Special stress had been laid in the
program on the topic "The Church's Relation to Social Welfare," for two speakers were scheduled for the second morning and three for the third morning.
Owing to the business consuming more
time than had been expected, this important theme was not brought up until
the third morning of the conference at
which time there were four shakers to
present various phases of the subject.
Rev. George Laughton was unable to be
present, but the relations of the church
to social welfare were well brought out
by Rev. John M. Lydgate, who spoke in
both Hawaiian and English; Rev. David
\Y. K. White, of Lahaina, Rev. Willis
11. (.dale, also of l<ahaina, and Rev.
Stephen L. Desha. It was interesting to
note the various viewpoints taken by the
speakers and the consequent different
angles of thought brought forth, some
of the addresses dwelling more on the
social life of the church members and
others on the social welfare of the community in general. Md one hearing the
addresses of that Thursday morning
could carry away the idea that the church
in Hawaii is not interested in what is
going on in the community life. The
clarion call for service to the community
and love to our fellow men was sounded
forth in unmistakable notes.
The discussions on the subject "The
Church's Contribution to Education"
were of a high order. Rev. John P.
Erdman and Rev. Albert S. Baker
brought out striking features of the
educational work being done in Hawaii
and stated clearly some of the ideals
Rev. T. Okumura had prepared a paper
on the Japanese school system in Hawaii and its relation to Christianity.
This was read by Rev. Frank S. Scudder and evoked considerable interest,
especially among those in close touch
with the educational problems of the
islands.
The third group in this series bore
on the theme "The Church's Contribution to the Spiritual Welfare of the
Community.' This came at the closing
session of the conference, immediately
preceding the farewell praise and prayer
service which was in charge of Rev.
John L. Flopwood and Rev. S. W.
Kekuewa.
The three speakers were
Rev. Wm. Kamau, Rev. Henry P. Judd
and Rev. George L. Kopa. They showed
the need of increased spirituality in our
island communities and how this need
must be met by the Church's own activity in promoting spiritual welfare
within her own organization, by means
of the equipment she now possesses,
and also by her best endeavors in reaching the indifferent and careless in the
community.
The above mentioned addresses were
supplemented by the consideration of
three other subjects, the first of which
was ••The Three-Year Service Plan"
submitted by Rev. Frank S. Scudder
as a possible arrangement to be effected
in missionary churches whereby pastors
at the end of three years of service
would be transferred to other churches
unless good reasons for their continuance in their present parish were evident. The plan did not meet with the
approval of a majority of pastors and
delegates present, judging from the
hearty reception accorded the remarks
of several who objected to the proposed
scheme.
Wednesday afternoon the other two
subjects were presented in mn able
manner by the speakers to whom the
topics had been assigned, "The Children in the Home" by Rev. J. K. Kahoopii, Rev. R. B. Dodge and Rev. J.
Mahaiula. and "Ministerial Education
by Rev. W. M. Kalaiwaa, Rev. E. E.
Pleasant and Rev. James Davis. The
former theme was treated in a helpful
manner by Mr. Dodge and his associates, setting forth what parents and
teachers should do in behalf of the
children in the home, becoming real
companions of theirs and leading them
into a genuinely religious life.
The discussions on the education of
ministers seemed to create an unusual
amount .of interest. This was manifested by the fact that after Mr. Kalaiwaa
had stated that ministers should study

was then stationed at Kohala as a substitute for Dr. Cowan. It was voted to
take the matter before the religiouseducation committee of the board.
Mr. Judd spoke of the advantage of
forming an association to supervise the
expenditure of funds for educational,
religious, philanthropic and eleemosynary
pur]>oses, with the idea of preventing
overlapping and needless giving, and
thus protecting the large givers of the
territory. Mr. Judd stated that a perfected plan probably could not l>e
worked out for some time, but that if
it could be put on a working basis it
would be a great advantage. Although
it was conceded that the advantages of
such a plan would outweigh the disadvantages it was feared by some that
the work would suffer, and that lack
of interest would result if appeals were
not of a personal nature.
The broad scope of the Filipino work
was discussed and in this connection
Mr. Dcxlge read a cable message announcing the coming of the brother of
Miss Judd to Maui for citizenship work
among the men in the camps.
Mr. Erdman impressed the missionaries in the different fields with the importance of carrying out the Christian
Endeavor program as adopted by the
island associations. By this plan the
Christian Endeavorers are divided into
groups according to age and the young
people instructed in standard methods
of Christian Endeavor work. While
the meetings are most often not under
the direct supervision of the board missionaries, Mr. Erdman stated that it
would be a tremendous help if they
would see that the new plan were
actually put into practise. The plan
was the result of several years' study of
the situation by Rev. Akana, culminating in a conference with leather Clark
and is thought to be the logical solution of the C. E. problem in this territory.
The conference this year was of such
a helpful nature that by common consent it will become a permanent feature of the annual conferences of the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association.

The Church And The
Young People
By A. Akana
This important topic was taken up
at the conference of the
1 lawaiian
Evangelical Association Thursday after-
June 28th. A lively discussion
testified to a deep and widespread interest in the theme. Emphasis on the
central thought, viz., that the church
should stand as the father and mother
for the young people of the community,
and should therefore endeavor to meet
the needs in every way just as parents
endeavor to meet the needs of their children, brought out a valuable exchange
of ideas. The following outline gives
in brief the ideas of those taking part
in the discussion as to how the relationship between the church and the young
people may be strengthened:
I. By establishing a point of contact between the church (adults or
church members, deacons and pastor),
and the young people. This point of
contact may be illustrated as follows:
1. By using the language that the
children and young people are familiar
with. The luiglish language is today
the common medium of approach, and
without it the church would be seriously handicapped.
2. By having socials frequently and
entering into the social life of children
and young people. In this way the barrier caused by lack of sympathy is often
broken down.
3. By getting after the young people
and calling upon them frequently.
11. By establishing the graded system of Sunday School and Christian
Endeavor work. This enables the church
with the co-operation of teachers and
leaders to reach the young people of
different ages, and to discover their
different needs.
111. By providing for their intellectual and physical needs. The young
people should look to the church as a
helper in time of need. Many who have
longed for education and occupation
have looked to religious workers for assistance, and because these workers
have failed to do their duty, they have
gone somewhere else to seek for help,
hence the loss of interest in the church.
IV. By being more sympathetic with
the young people. Child study should
be promoted in all churches with the
idea of creating greater sympathy with
the problems of the child. It is often

The recent death of Col. John Richardson of Lahaina, Maui, removed one
of the most picturesque figures of Hawaii's past. Col. Richardson was admitted to the bar and practised law on
Maui prior to election to membership in
the Legislature of 1884, as a member
of the Lower House. He was a noble,
or member of the Upper House in the
Legislature of 1887-8, being then a
member of the reform party which
forced King Kalatikaua to grant a new
and more modern constitution. The deceased was one of the first advocates of
prohibition, favoring it especially for
the Hawaiian race as a measure to save
a dying people.
Queen Liliuokalani made him a
colonel on her military staff. When the
Queen was dethroned, Richardson went
to Washington as a royal commissioner
to urge her restoration and the re-establishment of the kingdom.
For many years Col. Richardson had
been an inmate of Leahi Home. John
M. Martin, who had visited him more
or less regularly for nine years declares
that he was the most cherful shut-in.
he ever knew. The day before his
death eight Hawaiian girls from the
Moiliili Sunday School visited him and
at his request sang two songs, one of
which was "Aloha-oe.'' Mr. Martin offered prayer and Mr. Richardson requested the girls to repeat the Lord's
prayer and joined with them in this devotion, as well as in the songs which
they sang.
The marriage of Miss Ruth Richards
to Mr. Frank Midkiff on the evening
of June 29, was a brilliant social event
and one in which more than usual interest centered. Miss Richards chose
as her wedding day the twenty-fifth
anniversary of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Theodore Richards, and the fiftysecond anniversary of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Atherton.
Rev. J. Midkiff, father of the groom,

Far Eastern Topics
By Doremus Scudder
SIMERICA'S first contribution of
JBB engineers who are to help build up
the Russia of the future has just passed
through Japan on the way to Petrograd. When the five hundred transportation experts and the commission
headed by Elihu Root and the two billion dollar loan get in their work the
two greatest republics on earth will be
bound together with ties of wonderful
power. What this will mean for the
world and especially for Asia no one
can estimate. It will guarantee to
China an era of peaceful development
secure from exploitation. As the years
roll on, America and Russia will unquestionably join hands in assisting the
great Asian sister republic in its industrial expansion as well as in many
other respects.
The plight of Japan, the sole bureauracy, to be left among the great powers after the war, buttressed on the
east, west, north and south by these
closely-knit-together democracies, would
promise to be most unenviable if it
were not for the wisdom of its foremost men and the quality of Japanese
statesmanship. It is the habit of the
political leaders here to yield to the inevitable with a prevision and grace that
is beyond praise. The Shogunate was
overthrown in 1868 because it did not
expel the foreigner but when the victorious restorers of the Mikado took
up the reins of government they wasted
no time in anti-foreign endeavors but
immediately proceeded to get all the
ideas they could from the rest of the
world. Again and again since then
Japan has shown herself ready to sacrifice something dear to her leaders
when it was seen to be out of harmony
with human progress. It will be so in
the great change that is bound to come
to this nation from the democratization
of the rest of the civilized world. Monroe doctrine for Asia, exploitation of
China, aye and bureaucratic rule in
Japan itself all must go and will be
cheerfully dispensed with as the nation
heartily joins in the slogan "Government of, for and by the people."
Already this new era is being boomed
by the enthusiastic adoption of the policy of American-Japanese commercial
cooperation in China. Indeed every day
brings fresh testimony to the strength
of the sentiment setting towards America throughout this country. It seems
as though the nation sensing the loneliness into which the popular movement
in Europe threatens to drive her had
instinctively begun to turn to the one
great friend that has been true to her
from the beginning. For however much
the Japanese were wounded by the treatment accorded them in California—and
the nation was stung to the quick by it
—after all they knew well first that
their emigrants were in a real measure
though unwittingly and by their mere
presence as a disturbing economic and
social factor responsible for the ill will
which greeted them on the Pacific
Coast, and second that the great heart
of America was not hostile but honestly
friendly, our dual form of federal and
state government being considerably to
blame for the trouble. They now know
a third fact, that Germany has had a
very large part in fomenting the difficulties between the two peoples. In this
self reassertion of the old-time friendly
feeling in Japan towards America, the
reaction of the nation against Germany
is also decidedly functioning. For the
bureaucratic leaders, who had for more
than a generation been fashioning so
much of the life of their nation after
the model of the Kaiserland, had con(Continued on nacre 160 )

The celebration of Children's Day and
the Home Festival Communion of June
3 opened the month of commencements
most appropriately. Twenty babies were
promoted from the Cradle Roll to the
Sunbeam Class; 33 Sunbeams will

fall; 38 Primary children take op the
work of the Junior Department; 33 Juniors pass on to the Intermediate Department, and 39 seven-year-olds were recognized as Children of the Church and
given Bibles. The morning service combining both Bible School and the morning worship began at 10:30 and ended
soon after 12, the entire program being
of great interest to friends of the school
and church. Each department had its
part in the program, suggesting briefly
the work done before promotion was
granted. Six joined the church on confession of faith and three by letter and
the Lord's Supper ended the service.

THE CHRISTIAN’ IN BUSINESS
(Continued from page 158.)
Some of the noblest heroes of the
faith have been trained of God in adversity in the business world. The
Christian business man knows full well
that all that he has and is he holds as
a steward of the manifold riches of a
gracious God, All that any man has
he holds as a trust. The one thing expected of stewards is that they Ik: found
faithful.
It surely seems to be God's will that
business men should be given the privilege of handling the wealth of the
world for llim. To them is entrusted
the task of seeing to it that God's work
is properly cared for. All good and
worthy and noble causes are to be
properly supported by < iod's stewards.
God's needy ones are to he bellied in
the name of the Master. God makes
loans to business men that they mayact as his agents to distribute the same
in his stead wherever it is needed.
Christ pleased not himself. The
Christian in business has the same calling that his Master had. In handling
business ventures, in making money,
holy ends are Christ-like, God-like.
Principle is far above rubies. It will
surely be a great calamity for the man
who sells his own soul. The Christian
business man will not grow rich if by
so doing his fellow men must be made
the poorer. The Christian man will
never seek gain from the prostrate
forms of his brothers and sisters.
The Christian in business as elsewhere will surely "Do all things to the
glory of God." The cause of the Christ
and the Kingdom of God will be
helped not hindered by all his life, his
every act. (iod's will shall surely be
done.

growing more fearful until they began

that he saw Pele's brother, who told him
that final destruction was at hand, with
salvation only at the side of Kilauea,
where food and money would be found.
They started off, but after two nights
they were discovered, the Kau police notified, and they were found at Kahuku

invigorating to bathe in. Here our own
American Board Mission is gathered in
annual meeting. It is a company of
workers to be proud of. During the
last four years the ' Mission has been
reenforced by a notable company of
young men and women, not a few of
whom are children of the mission. This
year's meeting is proving historic. For
in view of the changed conditions in
the Orient, some of which have been
outlined above, the mission realizes that
it must inaugurate an entirely new policy of expansion in order to meet the
situation. It intends to devote the coming few months to a most careful and
critical study of its special field in
Japan, outline the ■ work demanded in
its field and determine to what extent
it must be reenforced and financed so
as to be able to do that work. The
findings of this investigation will be
carefully embodied in a statement of
the policy demanded by the new situation. Meantime the mission is issuing
to the American Board a call for a
deputation from headquarters to come
to Japan, carefully go over this statement, compare its demands with what
it can learn of the conditions on the
field and then go home and summon
the churches to make the appropriate
'
response.
These are certainly stirring days in
this empire. We are not experiencing
the same sort of excitement which is
now dominating America, for the war
is not all about us as it is with you.
Yet that which grips us is part and
parcel of the same world movement,
for it is busy fashioning a new Orient.
The sense of being in and a part of a
great creative process is one of singular
depth and mysterious power. Every
realm of life is being affected and every
worthy institution however small shares
in the regenerative experience.
In our quiet little venture in the
great metropolis of this empire we are
conscious of dealing with possibilities
larger than appear upon the surface.
Tokyo already has a number of struggling institutions for social betterment
which sadly need the backing of some
strong aggressive company of Christians, and which are naturally related
to a movement like that of our Union
Church. There seems no end to the
avenues of social effort opening out
before us. Until we have a rallying
point we cannot enter them. As soon
however as our plant is financed we
shall be in the very center of the great

social advance which is even now characterizing the early stages of the newera.
One interesting feature of our Union
Church enterprise is the movement towards a model Bible School building.
Japan's Bible School work is yet in
its infancy and the leaders here feel
that if in the center of Tokyo an upto-date building can be erected and the
most modern type of school therein
conducted, the Japanese churches will
l>e stimulated to follow the example set.
Hence we are appealing to the friends
of the present-day Bible or Church
School to help us put up such a building. We have the school to man it
with as our present Church school,
though small, is up to date and manned
by expert teachers, mostly young missionaries trained for the service they
render. Our eyes are upon the very
latest example of church school plant
just finishd in Newton, Massachusetts,
and a young architect, member of the
unique missionary firm of Yories &
Co., is now in America studying every
up to date church building in the country. The Newton building is far in
advance .of anything presented in the
little handbook studied by Central Union's building committee last year. When
erected the new plant will be ready for
use week days by the Tsukiji School
which sadly wants housing, so that it
will meet two of the greatest needs today in Tokyo. Lovers of education
and economics who desire to see church
plants used daily can support this enterprise with a clear conscience.

been planned to replace the teaching
period by a Bible story told by an expert
to the entire school. The opening exercises of the school will begin at ten, the
Sunbeam and Primary Departments
meeting in the Parish House for a brief
service of their own, then inarching to
the liible School Rooms where the rest
of the school is in session and where,
with stereopticon, blackboard or other illustrative helps, the Bible story will be
presented. Mr. Glenn E. Jackson will
be Superintendent for the summer.
