 An interesting address was given Monday evening at the Grand Avenue Baptist church by Rev. Samuel A. Perrine, for seven years missionary to Assam, India, under the auspices of the American Baptist Missionary union. He said that the province of Assam was about the size of New York state and had population of 6,50O,0OO, al- though it was the most sparsely pop ulated of any province of India and with no large city. The tea plant orig mated in this province The chief char acteristics of the province were vast fields of rice and tea, dense jungles, full of wild beasts and snakes, severe and frequent earthquakes, the largest rain fall In the world, the people very poor, less than one-sixth of the population can read and write, prevalence of su-

Disposition TO GrumbIe.

Another class Of people is found at
sea, lust as on land. They are the grum-
blers. They are found among the passen-
gers and also among the crew. But speak
ing OF passenger grumblers, nothing seems
good to them. The voyage is too long, the
ship too slow. It's too rough one day, and
too windy another Such people seem to
forget the innumerable conveniences OF
modern steamships in comparison to the
frail sailing ships that crossed the seas
in the days Of our grandfathers. In those
days a voyage across the Pacific lasted
during many months and was attended by
countless discomforts and many eangers.
Today the voyage from Frisco to Sydney
is made in the quick time of twenty-one
days All the way across the passenger has
all the Injuries comforts and courteous at
tention of a first-class hotel. All the art
and skill OF experienced cooks are en-
gagged, preparing with care the food, which
is served in the most dainty, appetizing
manner. The traveller today on a long
sea trip sits down at table and finds a
daily change OF fresh fruits, meats and
vegetables. And to all this a library, a
doctor and a barber. What more can a
man want who has nothing else to do
only watch the sea and sky and dream
lazily of the strenuous times he has left
behind, with all their anxious care and
nervous strain.

New Heart, New Spirit and Manhood.
A high order of public schools, where
no social distinctions prevail, have been
open and free to ALL high or low, rich and
poor. Here the industrious and frugal i'm
migrant, however poor he came to this
country, could soon carve happy and
cheerful home for himself, his wife and
his children, such home as he could never
have hoped for in his native land Here
neither he, nor his wife, nor his children
were anchored to the social and economic
rut in which they were born. Here he
could see bright future for himself and
Tor all his dear ones, And II was the
consciousness of this, which possessed him
at the outset, and which was infused into
him by the very atmosphere OF the new
world that gave him at the start a new
heart, new spirit and a new manhood.
OF which he was not conscious before, He
became at once a transformed belng-trans-
formed to higher level than he had ever
dreamed OF before. He became an Ameri-
can In energy, in thrift and in aspiration
even before he learned the language of
his adopted land The intellectual and
spiritual wealth that accrued to him in
his new home was intrinsically even
greater than the material wealth. A man

disappeared and gave place to a manhood
typical Of the free born, self-conscious and
irrepressible American. The transforma-
ton, the prosperity and the success that
thus freely and in ample volume came 70
the immigrant bred in him a spirit of con-
tentment and gratitude, and that in its
turn begot spirit OF loyalty and a de-
sire to become a good and worthy citizen
Of free and generous country.
And manifestly this tribute, above all
else, he owed in full measure TO his
adopted land. While in coming he gave
his little all-he contributed his widows
mite-this contribution is small in com
parison with all the advantages and bless
inss that his adopted country has from
nrst 70 last conferred upon him. He can
never yield too much tribute Of heart,
soul and body In return. 1t Is not enough
that he is an active and persistent indus
trial factor, not enough that he becomes
prosperous and economically strong and
independent, not enough that he shares
in all the ordinary duties Of citizenship,
but he should at all times and under all
circumstances, late and early, both in
peace and In war, at home and abroad
give his whole energy, hts whole heart
and his whole soul to the welfare OF the
great republic that has done so much and
made so much possible for him and his
poste1ty for generations ~ &C.,

AmericaniuinE of Honolulu.


The business portion Of Honolulu is
scarcely deserving Of special mention. The
streets Of the capital are kept very clean
and after American style macadamised.
Indeed Honolulu is fast becoming an Amer
lean city. Tho trolley car, with it's changing
bell and grating noise, is heard in the
streets, serving to bring ones thoughts
back to Frisco, Chicago or even Omaha.
The city is well supplied with modern
stores-kept American style-plenty of
churches, schools and hospitals besides
some magnificent hotels. The streets are
lighted by electricity. 1 found the Ha-

come over the island which not so many
years ago was the home of savages and

lined with rows Of cocoanut, palm, bread

Fully 100 feet back from the roadway are
low-built cottages surrounded by cosy YER
andas. lovely flower beds. fruit trees, and
a mass OF tropical foliage made the whole
seem like a garden of paradise. Honolulu
is overrun with Chinese and Japanese. The

they are the most aggressive. They form

Germany in Schleswig, in Alsace-Lorraine

RestfnIne.. Inc Keynote.

While life at sea may seem monotonous'
vet nowhere else may we find so much
of real, genuine rest. From morning until
night a spirit Of restfulness surrounds
us and fills both mind and body with its
gentle influence. A voyage in life fills
much the the same place that rest fills
in music There is such sense OF repose
in the wide isolation of the sea, unbroken
often by even so much as the speck OF
distant sail. At sea there is neither hurry
nor worry No news reaches us from the
great world of strife and excitement be-
yond. Business cares are left behind. The
strenuous life no longer exists for US; on
the contrary, all is quiet and rest We
may fill up the hours each day with idle
dreaming. They may be smoke dreams or
castles in the air. With George Eliot we
may float between blue and blue in an
open-eyed dream that the world has done
with sorrow, beholding the glory of sea
and sky softening as with boundless love
around" Better still, we may have heart
longings after those we have left behind or
longings for those who are to greet us
with a smile of welcome and a hand of
friendship, feeling the same thought with
the poet, Byron:
