the LORDS PRAYER NOT
SECThRlAN.

We cannot agree with the cad
vertiser'' and its correspondent G
that the Lords prayer is sectarian.
The "Advertiser" in it's editorial
columns has intimated that it is,
and q plainly asserts that "to make
it incumbent upon public school
teachers to open proceedings with
the repetition of the Lords prayer
is an arbitrary Introduction of Sec
tartan teaching into the state curri-
culum." As to whether or not the
action OF the Board of Education in
making the use of the Lords prayer,
or any other prayer, in the public
schools compulsory, is wise, is not
the question of which we are now
treating; but is that prayer sectar-
ian, and on that ground objection
able? In the sense that it is taken
from ''the sacred book of one parti-
cular rellgion,s' it is certainly sec
tartan. But in the sense that it
contains nothing that is peculiar to
any particular religion, it is purely
unsectarian. The Lords prayer
simply acknowledges one Great
Father, expresses submission to His
sovereignty, and soliclts from Him
favors such as all confess their need
of. That prayer is no more Chris
tian than Judaic, and no more Judaic
than Mohammedan. Christians,
Jews, and Mahommedans may all
use the Lords prayer without doing
violence to their consciences OF dis
obeying the mandates of their res
pective religions.

AN INTERESTING LETTER TO
COL. v. v. ASHFORD.

My Dear Colonel:-I did not
intend doing much corresponding
during my absence, but upon learn
ing that the Legislature had defeat
ed the Chinese Constitutional
Amendment and adjourned without
passing substitute, was so for
chilly reminded of your repeated
prophecy, and that of many others,
that the Legislature would evade
the Chinese issue if it could, that |
felt prompted to interchange ideas
with you from my present stand
point and to acknowledge that you
and those of your way OF thinking
were right and | was wrong on that
point.
:, Iwas simply dumbfounded when
/ learned what the Legislature had
done. When l left, the passage of
the Amendment was an assured
thing. l knew no one who intended
to vote against it, except, of course,
Mr.. Widemann and few natives.
The acknowledged head and front
Of opposition to Chinese legislation,
Messrs. Baldwin and Dole. had
been put on the committee to whom
was referred this amendment, and
for some weeks they had strenu-
ously opposed it, but were finally
convinced that it was the best that
could be done, and the committee
made unanimous report to that
effect. A caucus had also been
held over this subject, at which were
present many who afterwards voted
against the amendment, but who
did not open their heads against it
that night; and finally the amend
ment came into the House before /
left, and was opposed by 10 one
there, but was sent back TO com
mittee to be still further strength
ened so as to leave no possible loop
holes. A cabinet minister had
signed the report; both Ashford
and Thurston had openly favored it /;
and the Premier had certainly given
no indication that he intended to
oppose it. Under such circum-
slahces you Can imagine my sur
prise on learning that few days
after Foster and l left they defeated
the amendment by large majority.
The result shows that Foster and j
made a mistake in leaving, but the
sum of our offending was simply
this, that we really did not suspect
our colleagues of the imbecility they
afterwards insisted in demonstrat-
ing they were capable of. / say inn
becility, for the record of the reform

ing positions as make it impossible

what their policy really was, ON the

clear that their position was neither

have done the best we could to pre-
vent it, but that is past now. never
saw anything weaker, even in the
Gazette" than its editorial at the
close of the Legislative Session
when it said complacently "now let
us have peace!"; crying peace,
peace, when there is none. Things
were fast verging to bitterness
when was there. 1t certainly can
not be any better now. l am sorry
Thurston remained in the Ministry
after the amendment was defeated.
If the breach on that Chinese ques-
ton could have been avoided, there
would have been party back of
Thurston. Now he stands between
two parties, neither of which can
be relied upon to support HIM.
Queen street does not like his Chi
nese views, but there are many
others they would like less. He
serves them for foil. The other
side-'the boys"-do not like what
have been called his "mugwump"
ideas. He is not enough of party
man to keep party support. He
could get into bed with Queen street
if he would give up certain ideas,
especially his Chinese views. This
l do not believe he will ever do. L
certainly hope not, for have many
of the same political beliefs that he
has and hope he will stick to them,
supporters or no supporters. He Is
a man to-day without a party, though
he has great many political adj
herents, but not of the class that
are needed for successful politics.
when he was deserted by the Legis-
lature on the Chinese question, he
should have declined to serve as u
foil between them and something
they dislike more.
l do not care to return to the
Islands at present, and therefore
this week took out license to plac-
tice here; but this does not mean
desertion and whenever 1 feel that
l can be of any use l shall be on
hand. l shall probably be back
sometime next year.
Yours very truly,

got wrong with the shaf.ing in his

over the revolving shatting. his
whiskers were caught and a second
later Mr. Bennett didn't have any

The shafting pulled out all his chin

his whiskers been little bit thicker
the accident might have been a more

DIR. Sanderlin is no mounreback

as foreign to him and his methods as
