A Great Door Opening.

mighty tide of American lite and strength
is suddenly pinning across the Pacific
into the Orient.
It comes from the

intelligence, in enterprise,
tian light and activity. That great title
is sweeping through and beyond this
western outpost of Christendom, which
fur over three fourths nl century, God
has cherished and cultivated into high
Christian statehood. Now is Christian
America coming into close touch with
the torpor and darkness of the Orient.
A great door and effectual is being
opened for Christian enterprise to make
the Redeenui known to peoples who have
hitherto been shut out from the true
(iospel. It cannot be that Christians in
Hawaii have not important parts to bear
in that work. May the Holy Spirit
quicken and inspirt them to discern and
use each opportunity.
In what shape
the opportunities will come we know
not. It is evident that ancient barriers
are being broken down, Hawaii's best
present service is to stand as a Christian
community, living under the power of
Christian morality, and shining as a
bright moral and spiritual lighthouse in
the fore front of Christendom,

Instead of the customary Home Mis
sion Sermon on the second Sabbath
evening, June 11, of the H. E. Association, there was a succession cl short

action of the church and Pastor, we
desire to say for ourselves that it is with
sincere regret that we part with one
whom we have learned to esteem very
highly. Rev, 1.1. P. Miniie's pastorate
in Honolulu, though brief, has been
faithful. Though his leadership by the
blessing of God, large additions have
been made to the Church roll, while as
pastor and preacher he has endeared
himself to the hearts of his people. He
has proved himself well adapted to work
for the young, especially young men.
In organizing and canyingout plans for
the moral and intellectual improvement
of the youth of this city, we believe he
he has had no superior. We feel assured
that this historic field of religious effort
has been greatly blessed by his ministry,
and that the best wishes and earnest
prayers of God's people will follow him
into other parts of the Master's vineyard,
where he may be called to labor. We
affectionately commend him to the
churches, as a man of lofty Christian
character, a wise pastor, and an effective
preacher of the vital truths of the Gospel.
We congratulate the members of this
church on the service which has been
rendered them, and pray that upon them
the divine blessing may still rest: that
the Great Head of the Church may send
them another leader of like wisdom and
devotion.'
It may be added that Mr. Birnie has
greatly endeared himself to the church
and community: he leaves us with our
united and earnest prayers for his cor.
tinued welfare and success in the Lord's
work.

controversy among its officials, which
seems to be attended with some
acrimony. One can only hope that all
these agitations may soon be composed,

Why

the Sugar Trust Opposes

Annexation.

Undoubtedly majority of the American opponents of the annexation of
Hawaii sincerely believe it to be inexpedient, Theie is however a portion of
those opponents who are intensely b tter
and determined in their resistance to the
views of a majority of both houses.
This can not well be accounted for except
by the influence of the powerful Sugar
Trust. It should be clearly understood
by all why the Sugar Trust are in such
deadly hostility to annexation. The
reason is this: their immense profits are
all gained by refining sugar. No sugars
can now be imported, which are white
enough to be saleable to consumers. The
tariff secures to the sugar trust the
monopoly of all saleable sugars. Hut
the annexation of Hawaii will allow our
planters to flood the American retail
trade with say 300,000 tons of very light
grades, partially refined in the sugar
mills, or completely refined in our own
refineries. This will cut off some Sl,-000,000 from the vast dividends of the
Sugar Trust. Hence their fierce rage
against annexation.
a

Victims or Wine.
One is in his grave—the other in
prison charged with murder. Two capable and loveable young men, intimate
friends, drank freely together on Saturday night from a demijohn of wine. One
became maddened by the wine, and violent; the other crazily handled a pistol,
and shot his friend. The dying man refused to testify, but his slayer owned up
all. Young men hangaround saloons, and
think it manly to carouse; but ever and
anon the rum fiend which there enters
them, breaks out in deeds of violence.
In the bottle lurks a devil, and the saloon
is a breeding nest of hell fiends. How
can any Christian man have part or
share in a saloon? Wine, gin, whiskey,
saki, all are the devil's own stuff.
In view of the foregoing impressive

the violation of neutrality. The Charleston was coaling at the time. After
the three n insports had coaled and gone,
the Consul was informed that, in view of
their intimate relations with the United

Hawaii is therefore liable to be called
to account by Spain for actively siding
with her enemy. Meanwhile most of us
have not been feeling or acting vetv
much like neutrals.

The joint resolution for the Annexation

Anniversary

Htvv.tii.ir,

Week.

I'he events of Anniversary week (June

5-13) this) ear, were of unusual interest.
So lai'fre a delegation from the churches
has not been present for many years.
The turn of thought was toward practical things, and unusual harmony prevailed.
There were present thirty-one pastors
and sixteen lay delegates; other clergymen, missionaries and associate members, numbering twenty one, were in
attendance, making sixty eight voting
members of the Association. This does
not include over a score anil a half more
of S. S. and Y. P. S. C. B. delegates,
licensed preachers and theological students who were corresponding members.
There were also the groups of Japanese
and Chinese preachers and evangelists,
and the two Portuguese pastois and the
several foreign pastors making at least
an additional Score, We hope, before

long, to drop that word ''foreign" from

our nomenclature, as no longer a term
of significance with us. We shall then
indicate distinctions simply by language,
which will trive us live groups, with a
possible sixth (the (iilbertese).
The reports of the churches were
unusually full, showing o.tins in several
ways, one beinj,' in that of contributions
to the Hawaiian Hoard.
In church wink among Ibe natives
perhaps the greatest activity has heed
shown in the direction of repairs done to
church buildings. The building of the
new Waialua native church several

the noble Central Union, the beautifying
of the auditorium of the venerable Ka
waiahao structure, and finally, the tree

church, Lahaina, on the ashes of the old
one, were steps in the way of bringing
about this result.
At Last si veil old
Structures which were rapidly going to
ruin have either been repaired or built
over again witnin the last fifteen or

eighteen months
This has &'>'" opportunity for lay
activity. And it is one of the pleasant
features of the work that laymen are
taking a more active pail in it.
Two requests were laid before the
association for permission to solicit funds
at large for the purpose of meeting
expenses of chinch repair. One came
from the church at Kohala, Hawaii, and
was granted to the limit of $250; and

A sukscription paper issued by the
Knbala pastor for church repairs was
approved by the Hawaiian Association
to the extent of $'.'OO, This aclivit)
shown in the matter of circulating sub
scription papers and collecting monies
from the public has a reason lor its

students of the N. P. M. Institute.
In the afternoon the foreign mission
work came up for consideration. In view
of the almost entire closing of our work
in the Gilbert Islands, it was voted that

another to Kohala, Hawaii, and a
Chinese evangelist to Hilo.
On Saturday occurred the annual
exhibit of the Oahu Sunday Schools and
the dinner given thi-m. This year the
event occioied at Waianae.
By the
favor nl Mi. Dillingham free tickets over
the Oahu railroad wen given the membeis of the Association, and halt fare

Hiving adjourned over till Monday
the Lith the Association took up for
consideration the needs of the Sunday
Schools two were brought prominently
forward; one was that of proper reading
matter to he supplied by carefully selected libraries. Through the kindness of
good friends, a beginning has been made
in meeting this need, and the ncclei of
good libraries have already been placed
in many Sunday Schools.
The other need considered was ihat
of helps toward Bible study and it was
voted thtit Xt-Ads Parker and (iulick be

"Hoahana," the native Sunday School

It was voted to observe the week of
prayer, the day of prayer foi schools and
also the days of prayer for Ihe lepers.
A vote of thanks was given those
pastors and friends from Kauai who
furnished poi for the entertainment of
the members of the Association.
Sympathetic resolutions were passed
on the occasion of the illness of Dr.
Hyde.

way home from the inspection of the
China mission. He had expected to
arrive here by the (iaelic, July Bth. So
onr first knowledge of his presence came
by the telephone and passenger list in
the morning paper just in time to secure
him for breakfast. In the meantime,
members of the Board began to inquire
and to call. The morning was spent in
making a hurried review of the work
being carried on in the city.

After luncheon the members of the
Hawaiian Board gathered in the Assem
bly Room to meet Dr. Smith. The
discussion of the various topics presented
was necessarily most brief A better
understanding was reached as to the
movements ot the Star. It is expected,
if the situation then permit, that the
Star will make a quick voyage through
the Micronesian field, probably omitting
any visits to the Marshall and Mortloek
groups, so as to be hack in time to begin
the voyage of 1H'.1.l l!»0i> by the first of
April, I HUH. There are re-enforcements
in the States ready to enter the field and
the purpose is that they share it as soon
as possible. Probably some one will be
sent to Ponape. It is hoped that Mr.
and Mrs. Channon may soon return and
that an associate ma)' be found t>i Mr.

Price.

Who knows but that before long the
American Hoard will have to enter the
Phillippines !
While holding to the ideal that this
mission shall be entirely independent
and self supporting, Dr. Smith pledged
the American Board to stand by this
field of its early and most successful
ventures and not to forsake it in its
necessity.
The hundreds of millions on
the great continents will not prevent its
giving thoughtful attention lo the scat
tered peoples on the islands ol the great
ocean.

The question was asked, if annexed,
are we to he turned over to the Home
Missionary Board ?
It was .after three o'clock when the
Board adjourned. At the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Kmerson, Dr. Smith then
received the earnest greetings of many
representatives of our work.
The question was asked, will the inipiession Dr. Smith has received of outwork, necessarily so superficial, be a
help or a hindrance to it ? Much as the
briefness of the visit is to he regretted,
we trust that its result on the whole may
prove of mutual benefit to the American
and Hawaiian Boards.
Press Excursion to Waialua.

very pleasant excursion to repre
sentatives of the Honolulu Press, over
the new extension of its line to Waialua,
a distance of r >- miles. A sumptuous
luncheon was served at the ranch of Mr.
Walter Dillingham at Mokuleia. Highly
appreciative remarks were there made
respecting the enterprise and success ol
Mr. B. I''. Dillingham who after many
years of discouragement and patient
energy, hasachieved a wonderful success.
The trip to Waialua is likely to be a
favorite one. Mr. Dillingham is planning
to develop some admirable sea bathing
advantages at that point. The farther
extension of the line to Kahuku is already
being graded.
