The Friend is nearing its 18th
anniversary. Seventy-five years In
journalism is a long time as meas
ured by the usual life Of a newspaper
or. magazine. and very few of the
great newspapers of America can
boast of so long continuous exist
ence.
That Hawaii can boast of paRer
which has nearly attained this dis
tinction is due to the fact that The
Friend" has filled real need in the
lives Of people OF four generations.
That today its circulation is greater
than at any other period In its exist

popularity, not q short lived popuiari-

the paper has increased so per cent

Saturdays Sermonette
BY LELAND Il, TRACY,
ST. Clements Church.

He gave to the dying shepherd and
withheld nothing.
The Christ was also tempted to
turn faith into fanaticfsm, to win sue
cess through sensational means. A
swift and an easy success is allurint
alike to patriot and to statesman, to
reformer and to governor. This Is the
temptation of the modern man In the
world today A new food, q new art,
new tool, new industry-all tell
of the temptation to avoid the law and
achieve the end BY some trick To
some men there has come the tempta-
ton to ambition through expediency
and compromise. The subtle sugges-
ton is very alturing. It comes to the
politician when the voice whispers.
We must be practical. We must
take men as they are. This is not an
ideal world The pure gold Of truth
must be mixed with q little alloy to
make il workable Many an ambiti-
ons man has this attitude toward the
highest, toward the realm Of the
eternal He says in effect, This ma
terial world is mans kingdom. and
heaven is Gods kingdom. He says
that If God VIII recognize the prac-
teal kingdom on earth, with its de-
mands for compromise, its calls for
expediency, he viii recognize the
ideals of God in heaven. In other
words, compromise. he believes. is
necessary in order to insure success.
Now the whole philosophy of expedi-
sency and compromise has come down
to this. Add God and the devil to
gether, and divide by two, and you
have a working philosophy which viii

OF compromise do not deny the need
of deliVerer, but confine that need
to the outer and spiritual world.

cHRisT.s MESSAGE or MORAL
STRENGTH


He was in all points tempted like
as we are, yet without sin. Heb.
4s15.
The temptations Of the Christ were
all temptations Of character. From the
time OF his earliest youth to the time
when the cloud received him out OF
the sight Of his expectant disciples,
the Christ was constantly tempted to
resign the higher. that he might
benefit by the lower. But out Of this
life OF temptation. in the midst OF an
EVIL and corrupt world, Christ
achieved character. achieved that
most precious possession which an all.
wise God can give TO His children
Now God has given, or rather loaned
His omnipotence unto man. To one
man He gives the ability to gain
wealth. to another the genius OF the
Intellect, TO another the genius of
command, and to each man comes the
temptation to use the life gifts, not
FOR Others, but for self. The excuse
Is that q man can DO what he likes
with that which is his own. Tradition
tells us that at the last moment when
He was staggering, Jesus stumbled on
q little wild honey left by the bees
in q hollow tree. AT the same time
he found an old shepherd in the
desert lying unconscious through
hunger. Within was the pull of many.
many days without food. without was
an old man who had lived his life
and had lost his chance Which was
worth most to society. the youth OF
thirty. or the OH man VINO soon must
die. The christ:s answer was forth
coming. Character was first. Obedi-
ence to the highest ideals was Of
primary importance Service was of
even greater value that life itself.
Therefore. even in this extreme hour.

CHAPTER vi.


| That mo news is good news" is
especially true, perhaps, in a girls
school: an 'uneventful year" is often
ole OF satisfactory progress. Such
has been the past year in the Richly
Instructfng School for Girls. TO be
sure the seven graduates last June,
as the first to- wear skirts and put
up their long braids when they made
their speeches and received their rib
bOn-tied diplomas, doubtless felt
that they were taking part in an
event worthy to be. recorded in red
in the annals. And the delegate who
went to the Y. w G. A conference on
the money earned by her schoolmates
by many hours of pasting scrap books
and painting place cards, knew that
she and the two who went with her
were marking an event in their lives
that would not be soon forgotten.
Even their families did not fail to mo-
tice the spiritual uplift that they re
ceived, showing itself as it did In a
more loving and helpful spirit in the
home.
Though the general health of the
school has been good. a lesson in the
need Of intelligent and timely care
was forcefully taught by the case of
one girl with an eye trouble all too
common in China, who was not allow
cd to return to school this fall be-
cause she would not go to the hospi-
tai for regular treatment in the sum-
mers as she was told to do. And an
instructive contrast was afforded by
two girls with tubercular glands: one,
whose trouble was Of long standing,
spent month in the hospital recover
fng from an operation; the other, TAX
en- in time, was entirely cured by fresh
air, raw eggs, and cod-liver oil. with
out leaving school. These lessons the
girls will remember better. perhaps.
than some learned out of books, and
they viii be able to care more intelli-
gently for themselves and the children
they may have charge of in the future,
whether pupils or sons and daughters.
A Birthday
In November was the schools tenth
birthday, and the girls, having to give
up a cherished plan for an elaborate
celebration to include alumnae and
former teachers, threw themselves
with viii into getting up play.
When the time arrived, behold. not
only was there a play by the school
as whole, but by each class as well.
The subjects ranged all the way from
bringing Men to the Lord" to Ali
Babasand the Forty Thieves" They
afforded an entertaining afternoon.
but, beyond that, they showed mark
ed and gratifying progress in reals
tic acting and dignity of presentation
ideas not native to the Chinese
drama When the tea and cakes were
eaten and they sang national hymn
together, all felt united in a close
bond OF love and loyalty to the school.
They had cause for their pride. In
its ten years the school has made
steady progress land that In spite of
almost yearly changes in the teaching
staffJ, and has grown from some half
dozen to sixty-four And IL can point
with pride to those who have gone
out from it to the schools and homes
round about; il. you could see the
present pupils at their work and play,
you would feel sure that in future il
will point with equal pride to them
In the ten years there has been a
marked decrease in the ages of the
