 GRACE SUFFICIENT.
 BY MRS SARAH H. SMITH.
 Cor. 12:9. Grace sufficient for my need, Let this cheer my fainting heart; Strength in weakness, O how precious Let it life and strength impart. Grace sufficient; we've no might, Only strengthened hour by hour; In my weakness, in my folly, Give me wisdom, give me power. Grace sufficient, grace abounding! In my hours of pain and grief Grace is given, and it brings me Sure and blessed, sweet relief.

The Friend says: After many months
devoted to a most careful considera-
ton of all features of it's work, the
Hawaiian Board has entered upon a
twofold policy of coordination and
aff1Iiation, the one Territorial in it's
scope, the other national.
The original work of the American
Board in these Islands regarded the
Hawaiians alone. Its missionaries
founded churches and consolidated
them into four island associations, "a
Hawaii, CD Maui comprising also Mo-
lokai and Lanai, 90 Oahu, and Cd
Kauai including Niihau. These four
combined in the Evangelical Associa-
ton. The system was complete and
has worked admira bly,.
AS the white population grew, it be-
came necessary to provide means of
worship for those unacquainted with
the native tongue. and thus there
slowly came into being the so-called
Foreign churches. Composed of Eng
people in sympathy with
the Christian work carried on by the
American Mission, the members of
these churches We're Jealous supporters
of every effort made to Christianize
the native inhabitants. But owing to
the barrier of language on the one
hand and to their location at points
widely separated on the other, these
churches of English-speaking people
themselves organically
neither with the native associations
nor with one another. Drawing their
from all denominations,
naturally they organized on the union

tically each was absolutely indepen-

resulting churches were in some in
stances brought into quasi-connec-
ton with the Evangelical Association,
but the bond was SO frail as to be prac-
tically non-eXistent. Thus the forces in
connection with the enterprise presided
over by the Hawaiian Board presented
the picture of an ancient Greco-Persian
battlefield, where the Attic tribes
fought each for itself, under its own
leader, and concert of action was
minimized. Meantime, one year ago
the American Board withdrew finally
and the entire conduct of the many
sided work devolved upon the Chris
tians of this Territory.
Now as long as the Islands maintain
ed their independence and money was
plentiful enough to create no demand
for the economies and the esprit de
corps of consolidation, the anomaly of
the condition outlined was not forced
into prominence. But with the en-
trance of Hawaii into the Union, and
shortly thereafter with the diminished
support incident to the decease of sew
eral generous contributors and to the
general financial depression, the weak
spots made themselves known. Other
denominations, backed by great nation
al organizations. having previously en-
tered the field, began to offer by their
compactness, a strong contrast to our
disjointed negation of system, while
their ability TO tide over a season of
local business depression by calling up
on their fellow Christians on the main
land Knocked our financial loneliness.
The sound maxim for all time, In
union is strength which has become
the basal social truth in this century
of combination, has been brought home
with startling power to the Board and
it's friends. We realize that unless
these disassociated churches, Hawai-
ian, Portuguese. Chinese, japanese and
English-speaking, get together and
pool their issues, they are doomed. God
has no use anywhere in His universe
for the weakness of disunion. The
Board, therefore, has called upon its
everywhere throughout
these Islands to close ranks and march |
together. 1t is very gratifying to be |
able to state that the response has been |
unanimous and enthusiastic beyond ex- |
pectation.
The coordination requested by the |
Board demands as its initial step, that |

Governor Carter, in an interview for
it clear that he has about concluded not
to place the remedying of Territorial
finances in the hands of the existing
Legislature He holds that it would
be an unfair test Of the body polite
to have its capability for meeting an
emergency in government judged
lature elected, in large measure, upon
basis of hostility to a former admins
tration. The work that the Governor,
with the assistance of Secretary At
kinson, has done by day and night for
the past few weeks in gathering esti-
mates of possible reductions of expen-
ditures from the various departments
places the administration in a position
for seeing a way out of the woods into
open ground, where the executive may
act for the best good of the Territory
the issue of a settled policy of gov
erning the Territory at a cost within
its income
Yesterday afternoon the Governor
called into conference with him E. d.
Tenney, Fred. W. Macfarlane and Sid
ney NJ. Ballou. for the purpose of OBJ
tanning the views of these gentlemen
upon the present state of affairs. The
personnel of these unofficial counsellors
was selected out of Governor Carriers
desire to listen to business men of
whose opinions he had not previously
been aware.
This morning he will successfully
confer WITH Republican party leaders
upon the prevailing issues.
1t was after his taking counsel with
Messrs. Tenney, Macfar1ane and Ballou
that Governor Carter made the follow
ing statement to an Advertiser re-
porter:
THE great question is what policy to
adopt What is the best course to
pursue in the present situation of de-
preston and financial difficulty?
1T has seemed to me that the diff
Guilty is not so much that we are pay
ing either too great salaries or too
many salaries, for in some cases no
doubt the men are working very hard
for their salaries, while in other cases
the same work can be done in a burea u
or department with less men. But the
real crux of the situation is that we,
as Territory. are trying to carry on
too many functions of government.
81 do not believe there are many COM
munities of 125,0O0 people that would
attempt so much and the aim of the
administration, which I think the peo-
pie will support, is to cut our expendi-
lures down to a lower plane. To Go
this it is necessary to strike out certain

fellow Christians all over the United
States and in other nations as well.
Through the American Board this was
formerly ours. With close affiliation
to the great societies of the mainland,
we shall have it again in still larger
abundance.
In addition to seeking connection
with the two societies named above,
the Board has asked the American
Board to take over the mission on
Pleasant Island manned by Rev. and
Mrs. Delaporte, and has carried out
the resolution of the Evangelical As
ISOLATION by voting to transact its for
eign missionary work through this So
ciety. 1t has also requested the Edu-
cation Society to cooperate in training
men for the ministry by asking aid for
one very promising young man. Con-
scious of the sacred responsibility en-
trusted to it by the Christians of Amer
lea in inaugurating and maintaining
for more than so years one of the most
missionary enterprises known
to history, the Board means to be true
to the trust. In the present ernergen-
cy it has been called upon to face the
fact that Hawaii is an integral part
of the American Union, that it's prob
lens are no longer local that the whole
nation is vitalIy interested in maintains
ing Christian civilization out here in
the mid-Pacific and that this cannot
be done without the cooperation of a
Christian organization co-extensive
with the United States. We have now
done our part. VIII our fellow Chris
tians of the mainland do theirs? We
have no hesitancy in believing that
they will. D. 5.

progress will be made towards a more
general use of the English language,
and, without the sacrifice of an atom of
essential independence, the gradual de-
yelopment of vital organism Will be
effected. Next month The Friend will
tell how the experiment begins to work
in Hawaii, where the churches of all
nationalitieS are to meet on COM
mon ground at the spring session of
the local Island Association Already
a kindling spirit and it's child, increas-
ed financial support, have marked the
beginning of getting together.
Affiliation means extending this proc
ess across the ocean and getting into
touch with our fellow Christians of the
United States. The financial stress here
has made this absolutely necessary. AL
ready the Board has been compelled TO
sacrifice two of its most honored mis-
sionaries, and during the past two
years has cut its budget down by over
SIS. 900, a reduction of more than SO 1-3
per cent. Notwithstanding these he
roic measures it is today something
more than $4,000 in debt, and the def
cheney has increased the past ten
months by a little over s2,100 month
Although our treasurer believes that
expected receipts later on will modify
these fatal figures, there can be but
one end to this process. and the disas-
ter of serious disruption of our work is
close upon US. Foreseeing this, the
Board last fall entered into communi-
cation with the Home Missionary So
ciety and the American Missionary AS
ISOLATION, with a view both to its affili-
alton with these organizations and to
their cooperation in it's various enter
prises. No definite reply has yet been
received. 1t is hoped that the Home
Missionary Society viii assist in the
conduct of work done through the
medium of the English language,
and that the American Mission |
arv Association will unite with US in |
the maintenance of the Chinese and
departments.
1t is not merely the financial help |
hat is desired. The Board and the |
churches which support it or are main |
tanned by it feel the need of larger
sympathy. We must be part of some |

EDMUNDS
HAD RIGHTS
But Only to the Extent
of Ground He Paid
Rent For.

c. S. Holloway. superintendent of
Public Works, was asked yesterday
whether Mr.. Edmunds obtained an ex-
elusive right of mooring boats an ex-
places for which he charged fees to the
japanese fishermen.
The answer was that Mr.. Edmunds
had only paid rent for the Rotten Row
mooring ground, with respect to which
the payment was supposed to entitle
him to control of the place, as a tenant
at will, until the Government night
need to occupy the premises.
With regard to the Nuuanu creek
locality Mr.. Holloway stated that, rent
not having been paid for it in ad-
vance as required, Mr.. Edmunds held
no rights whatever there over anybody
else.
Mr.. Holloway explained that the
reason for conveying the rights of a
tenant in the premises to Mr.. Edmunds
was that the japanese with their fish
ing sampans gave a good deal of an
noyance to the department. They were
guilty of taking water without leave
from the taps on the water front, a
quantity taken to sea every night by
each sampan aggregating more water
than ought to be taken without COM
pensation. TO stop this larceny of
water and tampering with the supply
pipes, recourse had been found only in
hiding the tap handles or wrenches
over night.
Under these circumstances, the SD
perintendent of Public Works thought
it a good thing to have a fishing as
ISOLATION, presumably respectable and
responsible, take over the control of the
fishing boat mornings in return for a
fair rental paid the Government.
