Church Endowments.
The unsavory record of the administration of its'trust by New York's
Trinity Church helps to sustain the
contention of those who believe that
the funds given to endow Churches
should be safeguarded by a large
measure of popular control. Perhaps
the best form of endowment is that
prescribing the use of income for sustaining missionaries under the great
missionary boards. Hawaii could not
influence more vitally and permanently
the cause of Christ's Kingdom throughout America than by the creation of a
number of endowments connected with
such Churches as Central Union. Hilo
hirst, Makawao and the like, each
bearing the name of some one of the
historic missionary families of the Territory and each furnishing a missionary
to tlie American Hoard. The sum of
$25,000 would yield an income sufficient to maintain a missionary family.

the friends of the Mission on
Nauru.
In January we tore down part of the
old church, repaired the rest and use it
now as a schoolhouse. We then decided
not to ring our large bell until the new
beautiful church edifice should be completed.
Our Sabbath morning services had
been held beneath the trees, in the in
terior of the island near the famous
lagoon. The conch shell was used during those months to call the people to
worship. It was grand to conduct services in the hush, but rather far from
the mission.
On Sabbath morning, March 28, it
seemed as if the whole native population had turned out to rejoice with us
in dedicating our House of Prayer.
The Church newly painted and decorated for the occasion looked pretty, and
our hearts began to beat fast when we
saw the throng waiting for the doors to
be opened. How anxious the people
were to get in and how orderly they
were! At half-past nine o'clock the first
bell rang and the doors were opened. Tt

was anything but impressive, from the standpoint of Christian civilization. It was useless
to befin with, and it was open to the criticism of being the bluff of a parvenu among
the powers. The fact that (he fleet could be
spared for so long for swashbuckling, so far
abroad, tended to show its lack of usefulness
at home. It was good training for the crews,
certainly, and the conduct of the men was
highly creditable. Hut the performance, as a
whole, was not good enough for a great
democracy that has no enemies and aspires to
be the leader of the nations.
It was sheer folly as a stratagem in the interest of peace.
One drunken brawl in the
streets of Tokto. or one torpedo in Yokohama
bay, fixed and fired by criminal desperadoes,
would probably have plunged the world into a
fearful war, for exactly nothing bearing any
resemblance to an issue.
"What a contrast there was between that
performance and the tour of a quiet gentleman

Secretary of State and the guest of (he Latin

BACK TO CONGRESS.
( hie of the questions considered in the
present annual meeting of the Hawaiian
Hoard was: I low would Local Option

work in Hawaii?

The discussion was

fti!!. intelligent and very

earnest; and the

decision unanimous, in favor of the complete suppression of the beverage liquor
business, by any and all means within the
reach of the Christian people.
The definition of the word "local"
presents difficulty in such an argument,
just as local regulations bring discouragement, in the attempt to enforce them.
The imaginary lines, that bound the governmental units, are invisible to the influences set in motion by broken law, and
insensible to the differences in local public sentiment. The saloon in the "license"
precinct produces idleness, poverty, insanity, vice and crime in the abutting
prohibitory area and that, out of all proportion to the reciprocal good received.
The principle of returning good for evil
must be accepted, of course, but it bristles
with disappointment, in application to
local option.
Fighting the liquor business with local
option, with the voting precinct as the
unit, gives heavy odds to the saloon, for
very obvious reasons. The solidarity of
the business is its most important elcrent of power, and a startling object lesson for its betters, in the grace and the
profit of unselfishness. The liquor trafficis so organized as to resemble a trollcywire. It delivers power precisely at the
point where the load is situated. The
anti-liquor sentiment, under a local option system, is so dispersed that there is a
great waste of power, and a most destructive electrolysis of discouragement in constant operation.
The association of liquor dealers is
keenly and vitally interested in every
saloon, and prompt to give it aid, with
almost no waste of energy or money. On
the other hand the great body of antisaloon sentiment is not greatly stirred by
the prospect of closing a single drink
shop. Tf it be represented to a given
conimunitv. that its six saloons can he reduced to five, the temperance clement responds but langourouslv. No great interest can be aroused short of, say, fifty
tier cent, decrease. Public enthusiasm is
impossible, unless the fight is to a finish
—winner to take all.
attitude of the convention to such
oposals as looked to the reduction of

BThe

the number of saloons, was that of patient attention ; but every suggestion of
a general battle to the death evoked applause.
A law giving local option by precincts
would increase the value of agitative
work, and enrich the soil for public education ; but the saloon in one precinct
would make tipplers and drunkards in
another! Difficulties in enforcement
would discourage the police authorities!
Disappointment would dampen the ardor
<if the people, and the precincts would
see-saw back and forth from nrohihition
to license, and vice versa. There would
he a balance of good in the operation, but
i' would he small.
County option would be better, since
the sea would cooperate, in a measure,
with an island that had voted out saloons.
Hut, though the lines are broad and deep,
between our island counties, yet the evils
of the drink can cross them easily as
one can witness any day if he will watch
the passengers and the freight at any
local wharf.
The territory, taken together, is hut
small, with barely fourteen thousand voters, and orobably it will be better in case
a plebiscite is ever taken on the license
question, to have the entire Territory as
the unit. The City of Honolulu alone
could go far toward nullification of the
local will of any island of the group that
voted out the liquor business.
Even so, it would be difficult to get a
full and fair expression of the popular
will, adverse to the saloon. If it could
he taken in vacuo, the native vote of the
whole Territory would show a good
majority for prohibition. Hut it cannot
be taken in that way. The secret ballot
is a great advantage, to be sure; but all
through the campaign—such a campaign
—the voter would be subjected to terrific
pressure, as to which the moment of independence in the polling booth would
count perhaps for little.
In such a campaign the liquor interest
would not rest, nor desire rest; nor spare
expense, or trouble of any kind: for the
liquor interest is one and indivisible in
devotion to the single purpose of selling
drink. While the anti-liquor interest is
devoted to many things and, as compared
to the liquor business, quite unorganized
and unorganizable.
The native men at their strongest are.
like white men. easily influenced and easily fooled. The liquor dealers are very
active, liberal, shrewd, wiser in their gen-

13
eration than the children of light, in such
ways to carry an election, as finer men
cannot compete in.
Busy, peace-loving men with varied
interests are slow to wrath Under the
present law, which gives a very far-reaching local option, nearly all the work that
is done in entering protests to the issuance of licenses, or the renewal of them,
is done by a very few men. This is not
because the interest is small, or the public feeling shallow, hut simply because
the better men dislike contending.
The most hopeful way, under all the
circumstances, is to conclude that we
should be better off without any more option in the premises. The International
agreement, in the interest of the island
peoples, provided prohibition as the better rule. Hut the Hawaiians were not
willing to be within it.
The Federal government, in the enabling act by which the islands became a
United States territory, preferred prohibition as the safer rule. Hut the Hawaiians
thought that they knew better.
The Territorial statute assumes and enforces the fact that the liquor traffic is a
dangerous thing and suggests several
ways by which the people may curtail it
or destroy it. Hut the Hawaiians find it
difficult to grapple with their neighbors
in unfriendly effort.
The local will is difficult of enforcement, in local courts and with local officers, when that will is adverse to the
more aggressive citizens. Hut the local
will, administered by Federal courts and
Federal officers, is free from such weakness and such embarrassment.
The logic of this drives us back to Congress for the relief we seek. A hill i*
already pending which, if it passes, will
deliver Hawaii from the beverage liquor
traffic, and yet provide ample opportunity
for the supply of necessary liquors for
medicines, etc.
It is the sense of the Hawaiian Hoard
that we shall support that bill or some
such bill. ( lur friends the enemy cannot
complain of us for that. They have precisely etiual opportunity with us, in opposition. Such a measuring of our respective strength will he as fair as any trial
could be. It will be a quiet contention of
character, remote from all the squabbles
and roorbacks and corruptions of an el-c-tion. The liquor trade may shrink from
such a trial, but it is perfectly fair.
The following resolution was adopted
without dissent by the c.invention and
will go forward to Congress with personal letters and personal interviews in

support:

services we strolled over to the old W'il

and foreign. The next day we returned to Lihue and the day following I

( )n Sunday morning. May 9, I visited

the Kawaiahao Sunday School and
noted progress in all the departments.
The new system of study, adopted last
fall has worked very successfully. I said
a few words before the whole school
when they all came together after the
lesson. The regular morning service
of the church was shortened to allow
lime for the unveiling of a memorial
stone in honor of the deceased members
of the church whose graves ate unmarked. This stone was plavcd on one of
the pillars at the entrance to the Kawaiahao Cemetery and after appropriate exercises had taken place, the stone
was disclosed to view as the Hawaii m
and American flags were raised and the
audience sang "Hawaii Ponoi."
I had received a most cordial invitation from the Rev. L. I). Keliipio and
others to preach in the Waialua church
once more, so plans were made to visit
the Waialua district during that week.
I had a delightful horseback- ride to
"Mokuleia, just beyond the Waialua

and Mrs. John P. F.rdman for a few

we visited the Japanese Sunday School

taught the interesting and exceedingly
active children the lesson, besides leading in the singing of the hymns. After
this service was over, we continued to
the Haleiwa Church. At the close of
the Sunday School hour I gave a brief
address on the subject of what some of
our schools are doing in the line of improvement. When my talk was over,
I preached at the morning service at
the request of the pastor who translated my discourse into Hawaiian
On Tuesday, the 18th. 1 rode over to
the Boys' Industrial School at Waialce
and became the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
T. 11. Gibson for a couple of days. The
Governor and party of Territorial officials visited the school the next day
and it was therefore an unusually interesting time to be at Waialee. After
the lunch for the special party was
over, the boys appeared in their khaki
uniforms, preceded by the school band
in white duck suits. As they marched
past the Governor and his party, they
saluted and the band played lively music. The Governor and Judge Whitney
made brief addresses before the party
inspected the various parts of the farm

and the buildings. The good appearance of the boys was commented upon
by the visitors from Honolulu. In the
evening I said a few words to the boys
on the subject of the growth of the
body, mind and spirit. This institution
it \\ aialee is one of the best schools in
the whole Territory and Mr. Gibson
has done a magnificent work in transforming the lives of the many boys who
have come under his influence. It is
unfortunate that the late Legislature
did not make adequate provision for
the actual needs of this most helpful
and important school. It is with regret that we hear of the resignation of
Mr. Gibson. We hope that the Territory may yet have his services as leader
in the good work of making worthy
citizens of the boys who are sent to
Waialee from all parts of these islands.
On returning to town in time for the
services of Sunday, May 23rd, I found
that that day was to be an unusually
busy day. In the morning 1 went to
the kauinakapili Church and taught a
class of girls and then preached at the
tegular morning service. In the afternoon I attended the services of the

Pauoa Chapel. Besides speaking to
the primary department and teaching a
.lass of young men, I addressed the
whole school and then preached a
short sermon. An unusual feature of
the Sunday School service was the
"Hoike Ohana" or recitations by families and sometimes by groups of congenial friends. 'This scheme was tried
it Pauoa to arouse interest and it has
succeeded to a large measure in attracting young men who formerly stayed
away from Sunday School. It might
be tried in other places besides Pauoa.
In the evening I preached at ihe Palama Settlement ami thus ended a full
and happy day.

The grasp and retention of an historical event depends very largely on
the sharpness Ot its conception; and
sharpness of conception again depends
very largely on localization. Fven a
definitely pictured event, vignetted
away into clouds, and floating about in
mist soon gets lost. It stands alone,
unrelated in any system, and holds its
own in memory only with difficulty.
()f such a character is far too much of
our Bible knowledge, a condition to
which our more or less disconnected
Sunday School lessons tend. Take for
instance the Healing of the Nobleman's
Son—we know the details, but when
and where we do not know. And so

this event, in common with a great
many others, floats about

Disconnectcd-

lv and thus loses a large measure of its
significance. And often times this
physical and geographical knowledge
-beds a great deal of light on the event,
c. g., in this case, where we are informed that the Nobleman's Son was sick
in Capernaum and that the father had
come thence to see Jesus. Now the
measure of his faith is the distance he
has come, the difficulties of the way.
etc. And the distance which he has
conic, taken with the time, gives an
idea of the urgcncev of his coming and
the leisureliness of his return. All of
which sheds interesting and valuable
light on the character of the Nobleman
and the quality of his faith. Having
located these places on the map, with
relation to one another and to the rest
of the country, and gained an idea of
the mountainous nature of the country
and the quality of the roads and means
of transportation, we are in a position
to make a mental picture of the whole
event, with the surrounding setting,
which will give fresh significance and
vividness—so that it will be much
more likely to stick.
Bat perhaps you say that is just
what we are doing in the course of the
ordinary Sunday School lessons, bringing cverv available bit of information
to bear on each passage as it comes up.
This is quite true, and 1 have no desire
to make any criticism of the truly remarkable fund of information collected
to illustrate the Sunday School lessons.
And yet, in spite of the efforts, of the
most intelligent leaders, there is danger
of scrappiness. It is studying the bits
of a dissected puzzle, most thoroughly
and patiently, and mastering them,
realizing that they go together, but
knowing them apart. Now what I
want to suggest is not any relaxation
of this minute study but the addition,
or the emphasis, of the broader study
and this is particularly important and
profitable for the teacher. Nothing appeals to the childish and youthful mind
like graphic and vivid presentation.
The Bible story of necessity is brief
and condensed —to make it more graphic and vivid we must fill in the details; to do this we must know the
country and be familiar with the life of
the people. For instance study up the
geography of Saul's defeat at Cilboa.
Show, because of physical and geographical conditions, why the battle
took place just where it did. Show
where Saul was encamped on one side
of the valley, and the Philistines on the
other, and how the Philistines rushed
Saul's army and drove them up—up,
and over, down to ruin on the other

side. And if they arc ordinary boys—
or girls either for that matter—you
will hold them breathless. But you
can't do that unless you yourself understand the situation and can put into
the meagre description in San.uel the
additional information which has come
to you through a study of the country.
Further more it gives the teacher a
very valuable assurance, a sense of being at home. The whole Bible story is
tied together topically. The New
'Testament is attached to the old.
Kvery spot is holy ground because
there or near there other events of interest took place.
Wherever he lifts his eyes the landscape is more or less familiar to the intelligent teacher who is at home with
the Historical Ceography of the Land:
and he has a place in which to fit every
event which can be localized. From
mj own experience as well as that of
thousands who were wise before me, I
can assure you a fresh flood of light
and interest on the whole Bible narrative, especially the Old Testament—
with which we are less familiar—from
the study of a simple course in Historical Geography.
'Trusting that some, especially Sunday School teachers, may be sufficiently interested to want to know what
such a course looks like, I propose,
first, to suggest some books which
should be more or less available, if possible, and then, later outline such a
course as may seem advisable.

The beginners' course is for children
from three to five years. 'The aim of
this course is to lead the little child to

God, to know Jesus, to know about the
heavenly home, to distinguish between
right and wrong and to show love for
Cod by working with Him and for
others.
'The Primary course is for children

NEW GRADED LESSON SYSTEM.
Sunday School leaders will be inter-

ested in the new "Graded Lessons" pre-

pared by the International Sunday
School Association. The put pose of
the system is to meet the spiritual
needs of the pupil in each stage of his
development. These needs are broadly :
1. To know God as He has revealed
I limself to us in nature, in the heart
of man and in Christ.
2. To exercise towards God, the
Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, our
Lord and Saviour, trust, obedience and
worship.
3. To know and do our duty to
others.
4. To know and do our duty to ourselves.
The material chosen for these lessons: The truths are presented in lessons from the Bible, and are illustrated
by lessons from nature, from the history of missions and from the temperance and other humane movements,
hiftv-two lessons are provided for each
year and the courses are planned for

We have been much pleased recently

Director of Education in the Philippines. This is a most interesting and
