LEADER NEEDED.

This emergency calls for leadership.
From first to last in the story of the
Christian campaign in these Islands it
has been a question of chiefhood. The
people have always been nobly respon-
sive. And the servant of all is the
true chief here as perhaps nowhere
aries proved that. Roman priest and
The Hawaiian can be loved and served
into either heaven or hell. He must
have leaders and because the Islands
are American in large and beautiful
sense, not to say American by annexa-
ton or land ownership, though this
might be urged, butt American by the
spiritual sacrifice of a few Americans
who have lived and died here and of
host on the mainland who have pray
ed and given for people they never
saw, therefore the leaders this land
needs are a handful of America IS best

themselves unselfishly to love and serve

CHANCE FOR HAwAIIANs.

New missionaries from the main
land, however, will not save the day.
The call is for Hawaiian leaders. That
was evident in the first missionary era
in this country, it is equally true in
this second period of advance. All the
machinery for preliminary training ex
lists in the schools now at hand. The
one thing lacking is a theological sem
mary. Hilo Boarding School reports
training class with single student.
This is good beginning. In timezwe
may expect to see this develop. ( But
what is demanded now is a score of
capable, devoted Hawaiian young men
able to use the English language thor
oughly, theologically educated in a
purely American environment and thus
fitted to guide their people in this
transition stage. The Hawaiian Board
clearly perceiving this has voted to
raise fund TO send two men to the
special training department of Chica-
go Theological Seminary. But we
ought to be sending ten instead of two.
If friends on the mainland only real
lied the situation here they would be
quick to respond. DR.. Ostrom has
sensed conditions thoroughly, and
pledges his aid in directing the atten-
ton of the churches at home to the
imperative call for large help in the
present emergency. If we could get
few of our church leaders gifted with
the vision of statesmen to visit Hawaii
and study the field with all its prob
lens, it would pay richly.

WHEREOF WE ARE GLAD.

The annual report of the Correspond
ing Secretary of the Board of the Ha-
waiian Evangelical Association is as
follows:
There is just one psalm in the Old
Testament collection that fits our case
in this eight NTH anniversary year of
Christian work upon these Islands. 1t
is the 10th Psalm: Jehovah hath
done great things for u.s."
One year ago We faced a grievous
debt Today our treasurer is able to
report a credit balance of a little
more than $500. This is due first of
all to the exacting economy practiced
by the Board and its committees, and
next to the generous aid extended by
the churches of the mainland through
the American Missionary Association.
The grant of $4,000 made by this So
ciety to enable the Board to push the
work here moved our Island friends
deeply. Men among US became con-

Importance of this midocean strong

of the mainland talked so persuasively
that the plea "Let us do our part and

from the continent in broadening the
work. proved irresistible and more
than $4,000 in extra gifts came flood

years the Board has closed financial

did not move a moment too soon. The
events of the past few months have
shown us that even We ourselves had
not guessed the seriousness of the facts

That this is true on the positive side
has been splendidly exhibited by the
notable work of DR.. Baker and his
mother in Kona. These devoted mis-
sionaries have wrought rarely in that
region. Their story is given elsewhere

A CRITICAL TIME.

Perhaps, however, the sternest tes-
timony to the truth of the declaration
of the delegation that the time had
come for a new missionary era here IS
given by the Hawaiian churches them
selves. There have been some bright
spots where gains have been recorded
during the past year. But these have
been offset by the story of a general
loss in Hawaiian membership. The
grievous lapses of two of the leading
pastors of the Islands. in each case in
volving most deeply the people under
their care, the system of appointing
several fields to one minister, thus
mortgaging his time so that pastoral
work is rendered difficult if not i'm
possible, the pastorless condition of
80 per cent of our Hawaiian churches,
the. sober charge in the Aloha that the
native pastors neglect systematic
Bible study, and therefore feed their
people upon husks, the wretched sti-
ponds which brighten ardent young
Christians from all thought of the min
istry, form picture so dark that
conference has been proposed between
a half dozen of the undoubted leaders
of the race and a few other workers
to consider the way out of these diff
cuIties

CONSOLIDATION.

The policy of consolidation has made
some progress. All the Portuguese ana

churches with three exceptions have
Joined the local associations. We trust
that in another year there will be none
left outside On the Island of Hawaii
the expense of transportation prevents
the attendance of the members of the
various races at the meetings. Some
gain has been achieved on Maui, the
Paia church and the japanese having
joined the association. We must be
patient with this movement. By pro-
noting a more complete organization
of the Japanese and Chinese churches
and by planning to introduce features
into the meetings which will repay
their pastors and delegates for the ex-
penditure of time and effort in attend
ance, some of the difficulties Will be
overcome.
One of the most promising phases of
our developing work has been the
steady progress achieved in the organ
ization and maintenance of pastors or
workers classes by our several agents.
These are usually held once a month,
enroll pastors and evangelists of all
races and in the case of Kona all our
Christian workers in the district. They
furnish post graduate courses in prac-
teal service for Christ, in Bible study
and in sermon preparation. Mr.. Buch-

class, in that five languages are in use
by five men of different nationalities,
none of whom, with one exception, I'M
derstands any tongue but his own.

A Paying Crop.

Messrs. Vinson and Schwartz, living
on South Royal street, are cutting
their first crop of alfalfa hay. Both
gentlemen have about an acre in this
fine feed, and get four crops a year.
Alfalfa grows very fast. Where Mr..
Wilson cut few days ago it has
grown up again and looks like it is
nearly ready for another cutting.
This hay brings good price, and no
doubt if enough was put in it would be
a paying thing.

take place on the question of afiilia.
ton with Manchester Unity. There is
considerable objection to the PROPOSE
ton, since it would admit negroes to
membership.
Chief interest in to-day's session
centered about the question Of the liq.

which was approved by the body in
session, decides, in brief, that no one
can remain a member of lodge who
is engaged in the liquor business in

MONUMENT UNVEILED.
SITE OF REEcHER ISLAND FIGHT
Ceremonies Under Charge of tho
Grand Army OF the Republic
Address by General

Denver, Sept. ia News special
from Wray, Colorado, last night says:
The Beecher island reunion closed to-
day with the unveiling of the monu-
ment this afternoon. A heavy rain
last night greatly marred the ardor of
the crowd, and the rain continuing all
the forenoon, many of the people had
started for home. However, there were
several hundred present, and the beau
tiful ceremony was carried out in Its
entirety.
The unveiling was in charge of the
department of Colorado and Wyoming,
G. A. R., and was to have been directly
in charge of DR.. Curfman, the depart
ment commander, but owing to sick
ness in the family he was unable to
be present, but Adjutant General Dan
iels was present and represented him
In the work, assisted by the depart
ment chaplain, DR.. Brooks of Fort
Morgan. The night Colonel Carpenter
arrived on the island with the relief
for the scouts they all Joined in singing
"Tenting Tonight" and the ceremony
of unveiling the monument opened by
singing this song.
AS the words fell from the lips of
the singers tears fell from the eyes of
the survivors standing within the rail
ing about the monument. At the con-
clusion of the song General Forsyth
stepped forward and with a short, but
appropriate address, dedicated the
statue to the heroes dead, to the heroes
living and to the heroes of posterity.
After his address Adjutant General
Daniels proceeded with the regular
0ntnr, ,sa1 ~ n
Just at the close Miss Alice Donovan
pulled the string that held the yelling,
and the beautiful statue stood forth
free to view, a notable memory to the
purpose for which 1t was erected
AS the veil fell to the base cheer,
after cheer rent the air. This closed
the best reunion ever yet held at the
island, but now that it is assuming per-
manency through the efforts of the as
sociation, and mostly through the eff
forts of the associations untiring presi-
dent, Robert Lyman, the people of this
vicinity are looking forward to many
more happy gatherings when they and
the scouts will gather in common re-
union to live over again and again the
scenes that have made this spot IA
nous.
In addition to the monument, there
is now beautiful headstone at the
grave of each scout buried there.
The battle of Beecher island began
September IL, 1868, and continued for
nine days, during which the Ameri-
cans withstood the assaults of 1000
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians, under
the personal command of that fearless,
sagacious and extremely cruel chief,
Roman Nose. Among those who gave
up their lives in this memorable strug-
gle on the then barren plains of
eastern Colorado was young Fred
Beecher, a nephew of the late Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher.
