Aud Still Another.

During the past year we have had to chronicle
the departure fer the other side of the river of
several Of the men intimately connected in the past
with the work of Christianity and Civilization in
Hawaii nei." And now in the Friend of this
month we have the announcement from Kappa,
Kauai, that the Rev. Daniel Dole has gone to join
the great majority. We. who have known Mr.. Dole
somewhat intimately for over twenty-five years past,
and have learned thoroughly to love and revere him,
can only say that we heartily endorse the following
from the Friend. Before the attack of sickness which
resulted in his death, he was a frequent contributor
to the columns of the ADVERTISER, and his articles,
over the signature o: " Aliquis,'' always attracted
attention. He was deeply read in men and things,
but the farthest from pedantry. A verse from Rare
Ben Jonson strikes Us as applicable:
&" His learning savors not the school-Iike gloss,
That most consists in echoing words and terms;
And soonest wins a man an empty name;
Nor only .ong or far-fetched circumstance,
WRAPPED in the curious generalIties of arts;
But q direct and analytic sum
OF all the worth and first effects of arts"
KAPPA, Kauai, Aug. %.
DEAR SIR,-Li is my sad duty to inform youo of the death
OF my dear father, who passed away from this earth on
Monday morning, the 26th inst.
For about a week he had been failing in bodily strength
very rapidly, Int his mind remained bright and unahect-
ed. He knew mat he could not live long, and spoke of
death with composure and even cheerfulness.
We feel sad in losing so near and so valued friend and
counselor, but we know that his condition is Infinitely
benefited. He las stepped from darkness into light, from
ignorance anduncertsinty into the full effulgence of the
truth.
May 1 requeit you, who have known him so long and so
intimately, Oprepare for the papers a suitable notice of
his decease. Had he lived just two reeks longer he
would have completed his 10th year, having been born
Sept. 9. 1908.
Yours truly, GEO. II. Dole.
just as our IRper was going TO press, and while prepar-
ing our notice of the Rev. Mr.. Clark, we received the
above note announcing the death of the Rev. Daniel Dole,
another of tie American missionaries to the Hawaiian
Islands. We san still write in the same strain, well
done, good anC faithful servant" Our acquaintance with
the latter has been even more intimate than with the
former. for evG since our arrival in the autumn of 1912,
we have been most Familiarity associated with him, and
the acquaintance thus formed had long since deepened
into a friendship that was never darkened by a cloud or
saddened by one word OF alienation. He was a pure
minded, thoughtful, scholarly, devout, Christian mis-
sionary, whom we truly loved, and who enjoyed the es-
TEEN of all his missionary ASSOCIATES and the respect Of
the public.
He was born in Bloomfield, now Showhegan, Maine,
Sept. Q, 1S0S; graduated at Bowdoin College 1886, and
Bangor Theological Seminary 1889, and was ordained at
Bloomfield 1910. He embarked at Boston for Honolulu
Nov. II, 1910. Or his arrival here, in the spring of 1S41,
he was appointed Principal of Punahou school, which
was then established. When the school became incOr-
porated as Oahu college he became the President, where
he remained unit 1855, when he removed to Koloa, Kauai,
he has been eminatly successful. His fine taste for elias
steal study enabled him to prepare many for Yale. Will
liams. and other American Colleges, where they uniform
" took a high stanj for scholarship. His many pupils,
scattered all over tie world, will learn of the death of
their old teacher WIKI unfeigned sorrow. He viii be re-
membered not only rs a teacher, but as a preacher in
Honolulu. koloa, ant other parts of the Islands. His SER
mons were thoughtfully and carefully prepared, and en-
forced by a pure and loly example as a minister of the
Gospel. He leaves two sOns-the writer of the foregoing
letter and Sanford B. Dole, Esq, a lawyer in Honolulu
