of church government. Hut the doctrine
of the absolute necessity of the Episcopal
as the only valid form of government, and
ofthe Episcopal succession of bishops, in
order to a participation in the gifts of the
Spirit, we must regard as something foreign
to the true idea of the Christian church.
It is in direct conflict with the spirit cf
Protestantism; and is the origin, not of
the true Catholicism of the apostles, but
of that of the Romish Church. When
therefore, Episcopalians disown, as essentially deficient in their ecclessiastical
organization, other Protestant Churches,
which evidently have the spirit of
Christ, it only remains for us to protest, in the strongest terms, against
their setting up such a standard of perfection for the Christian church. Far be it
from us, who began with Martin Luther
in the spirit, that we should now desire to
be made perfect by the flesh."
If "the oldest pupils" could be induced
to imbibe these words, they might develope into broad-minded, large-hearted, influential christian men and women.

All who nave surrendered themselves to
the Savior and entered upon a christian

with the performance of few duties and
these of a nature that do not demand
much self denial. They are not altogether useless, yet they do not bring great »>r
effectual help to the cause of their professed allegiance. This is to be regretted.
Not only some, but all christians, in view
of what their Savior has done for them,
should be in earnest, full of love, faith
and courage and consequent happiness,—
our lives fruitful of good and adding
daily to the sum total of human blessedness in the bestowal of helpfulness to the
needy, and sympathy to those whose sky
is darkened and who have the cup of sorrow pressed to their lips. The pathway of
duty and of every one's daily pilgrimage

2. —THE INVENTIVE SKILL OF COD.
A little more than ten years ago when
the first century of the American Republic
had closed and a new century begun, the
Centennial Exposition drew thousands of
people to the memorable city of Philadelphia. 'Thereon every side could be seen
the results of man's inventive power. 'The
exercise of this power begins, way back at
an early day in the world's history. 'Thus
when man could no longer sleep amid the
flowers of Paradise Jabal made a tent;
his brother directed his attention to the
science of musical sounds and invented
the harp and the flute. Tubel-Cain was
the first discoverer of ore and was perhaps
the inventor of the spade and the sword.
And through on-going centjries men have
put to a practical ttst the gift of intelligence and exerted then mental powers.
And as one age succeeded another, civilization, art and science have made wonderful advances and triumphs. And in this
century especially, the thinking faculty
of man has achieved astonishing results
on the fields of investigation and practical
application. And yet there never have
been displayed, and there never will be,
any productions of science or of art, that
can at all compare with the evidences of
the inventive skill of God. It is true,
sometimes Godremains in the secret place
of His habitation and all things proceed
in their stated and usual course, but not
seldom does He step forth from His solitude, and He touches some natural cause
and sets it in motion and there is a storm,
an eruption, an exhibition offire and flame,
a mighty, rushing, gathering stream of
lava, all nature in terrible commotion, and
a Voice, not of earth, says, This phenomenon is designed for your thought and reflection; come and behold the works of
the Lord! And yet, my friends, grand
and marvelous and full of instruction as
the works of Gcd are in the natural kingdom He will show you greater things
than these. For we might stand amid
nature's most brilliant scenes, helpless and
hopeless. Burdened by sin, offer at her
altars a prayer for pardon and you will receive no answer; weary and heavy-laden
she will give you no rest. And here it is
that God, inexhaustible in His resources,
has come to the rescue, and He says,
Come into the sanctuary of My grace,and
behold the provisions ofinfinite love! You
return. What went you there for to see ?
O, a grander sight than the Baptist, the

but also in past years. Not always has it
bten thus in other parts of the world.
Only think of the wide-spread earthquake
which laid the city of Lisbon in ruins and
ashes. It was of a wide-spreading nature
and disastrous in its effects. It was felt
at different times through most parts of
Europe. One describing its devastating
career and awful consequences says of it,
"Lisbon numbered 300,000 souls. Its
foundations trembled and the ground
heaved. Towers, palaces and churches
tottered and fell. 'The city's vast riches
and by all accounts between fifty and a
hundred thousand persons were buried or
burned. One might see the flames bursting from the ruins; the sea roaring and
rushing over its banks with resistless impetuosity; the people running from place to
place in wild consternation and rending
the air with their wild shrieks and cries,
and walls falling upon thousands in iheir
helpless and hopeless flight. Other towns
in Portugal, Spain and along the European
coast of the Mediterranean were damaged,
overthrown or sunk. It extended acrcass
the sea and ruined a great part of Africa
and many thousands perished. It was felt
in various parts of Italy, Germany, France,
Great Britain and Ireland. 'The tremor
reached also the American land and was
felt in Boston and other parts of New
England." And likewise I might speak
of Pompeii and of the more rectnt occurrences on Java and Charleston, in the
home land. Now on these islands we
have had expositions of majesty and power
coupled with the goodnes and sympathetic care of God. I have been deeply interested in a graphic description by the
late Dr. Coan of Hilo, of the eruptions
and streams of lava that have taken place
here from time to time. Mention is made
of seven of these, and, beginning with that
of 1823 and ending with that of 1868, it
may be said of them all, that they occa
sioned no loss of human life, even though
of the eruption <»f 1868 it is recorded,
that "tradition reports no convulsions to
equal those of that year in magnitude or
extent. The whole land was shaken."
The eye-witnesses of some of these phenomena were rewaided with sights such as
but seldom favor the vision of mortals and
so subl.me and terribly impressive were
the scene of action and the magnificent
pyiotechnical displays as to baffle all description. No deaths ensued from the
eruption and accompanying earthquakes
of 1880-81, and the same may be said of
this last one, of which a personal beholder
says, "It was impossible previously to
conceive of a scene of such indescribable brilliancy and sublimity." Yet now,
as on a former occasion, when all eastern
Hawaii was lighted up at night and the
scene was like the conflagration of a great
city or a burning firmament, we are privileged to record that no lives were lost.

The special services so ably conducted
by Mr. Richard T. Booth during the last
week of January and the first two weeks
of February interrupted the regular work
of the Church. A Union service was held
Sunday evening, Feb. 9th, at which Rev.
E. C. Oggel made the opening address,
and Mr. Booth followed with a temperance
address. On Monday evening there was
a farewell meeting for Mr. Booth in the
audience room, followed by a soc'al in the
lecture room.

was placed under the management of him
whom many of us call Father Thrum, and
his wife. At that time my honored predecessor, the Rev. Dr. Damon, wrote in
'The Friend, "We rest fully assured, that
they who have been invited to manage the
establishment are fully competent to
manage the undertaking and are persons
in whom the public, and especially seamen, may place the fullest confidence."
And neither Dr. Damon nor the community were disappointed in their expectations. Tor her service there many a
sailor owed her a debt of gratitude. And
what more blessed woik can there be in
this pilgrim land than to clothe the naked
and destitute and feed the hungry and
nurse the sick and speak words cf comfort and hope to the dying? As fruit
grows on a tree, so did this loving service
tm mate from a heart filled with the love
of Christ. 'There is no life like that
which, in self-denying acts, is consecrated
to God and humanity. A cup of cold
water, given in the name of a disciple, the
Master has said, shall not ultimately fail of
its reward "Inasmuch," He will say in
the great day of his appearing, " as you
have done it to the sailor, the stranger,
the sick, the destitute, the unfortunate,
the dying, ye have done it unto Me, the
Son of Man and the Lord of heaven and
earth, whose is the gold and the silver,
and the cattle upon a thousand hills."
And now, though being dead—but her
real, unclouded, ever-blc,sed life has but
just dawned !—though being dead, she yet
speaketh. She speaks to you, my aged
friend, whose loving and faithful companion she has been for nearly half a century, and she says: "Be patient and faithful to the end." Yes, a few more suns
shall roll and go down and then you, too,
will be in the blessed land where the beloved companion of so many years is now
waiting and watching for thee. In the
meantime the Lord will abide with you
even unto the end.
Children and grandchildren of the
departed: through her life and example may you all be attracted to that
Savior, who said, "And I, if I be lifted up
from the earth will draw all men unto
me." So will you all stand at some time
at the right hand of earth's Redeemer,
and your parents shall say: "Lord, behold
us and the children whom Thou hast
given us."
This place and this very Monday afternoon hour —as many of you know —is
consecrated as "the ladies' weekly hour of
prayer." Not far from where I am standing the dear departed mother has often
sat and prayed and given her testimony
to Christ and the blessedness of His service. She will be missed in that circle of
praying women—and who will take her
place? Her life here is ended; her voice
hushed in the repose of death, but her
example and the record of her life remain.
"And I heard a voice from heaven sayiig, Write, Blessed are the dead, who die
ii the Lord, from henceforth: yea, saith
the spirit, that they may rest from their
labors; and their works do follow them."
Says 'Thatcher:

LECTURE ON MICRONESIA.
ETMORE,
BHCY.WM.D.
(Delivered at Hila, Hawaii, Nov. 7, ISS6,
and published by request.)
It is very hard indeed for such islanders
to get toughened to the common results
which
so
often accompany civilization*
Like the TssD anians, it will ere long be
said of the Micrcnesians, too, "not one
cf them remains." So what is to be done
for them should be done quickly.
You ask, "What was considered wrong
(among the people) before the missionarywork commenced?" It was wrong for women to join with the men in celebrating
a heathen feast. It was wrong for a sister
to sit upon a brother's mat or to eat food
prepared by him. It was wrong for a
plebeian not to take hold of the right wrisl
with his left hand in conveying anything
to a superior. 'This is done even now at
the communion table. It was wrong for
one of the common people not to crouch
in sight o( the king; in which position hewas forced to remain until bidden by the
king to rise, or until his majesty chose to
mo\e on. In like manner all common
I eople had to go down to every chief,
lesser chiefs to greater, and sisters to
brothers. At Kusaie, where this custom
prevailed, it was termed "sinuk." It was
forever abolished by their king, January
11, 1884. It was wrong to take and eat
a cocoanut from a recent grave if placed
there by a relative. Such an act would
displease their god, "Anit": no native
would dare even to hand'e such a nut. It
was wrong, and is now, at the Mortlocks,
which are a subordinate group of the
Caroline Islands, to gather cocoanuts
from any grove which a king or chief had
encircled with a string, cord, or vine, until
he chose" to remove it; no matter whether
the people suffered and died or not from
famine. We saw several groves thus
under strict taboo. It was wrong, and is
now, in many places on Ponape, to address a king in the language of the common people. The royal dialect, containing many words of ceremony, must be
employed in conversing with them or you
incur their hot displeasure.
In speaking of Micronesian character
in early days, I would say they were regarded as barbarous savages, liars, thieves,
ciuel, full of hatred, darkness, and obstinacy, naked, dirty, haggard looking,
heartless, wild, rude and wicked. Murder,
robbery and lawlessness reigned among
them, and they were sunken even into the
FRIEND.
lowest depths of moral degradation. A
few examples will suffice to elucidate these
declarations. At Pohape in early times, a
Nanakin endeavored to make two widows
live with him. With help they escaped
from him. He caught one and shot her,
and then butchered the other with his own
brutal hands. Formerly, at the same
island, people would take with them to
church their large knives and other fighting implements, and lay them in a pile by
the church door. When travelling about,
they would carry them along to protect
themselves from insult and violence from
their enemil I, At l'ingelap there was a
jacred i land. On one OCCSStI n the king
retired to it "to have his gods prevent the
coming of the missionary God." He was
there afflicted with severe pains and nearly
died. Despairing of life, he sent for the
native missionaries, 'Thomas and Tepit.
They came and prayed with him and their
prayers were heard. 'The king soon revived, and not long afterward embraced
< Christianity.
Ebon chiefs would wrench open the
bowels, tear off limbs, break the head and
gnlp down the blood of their ercmies.
Once more: turn your attention to Mille
and see what transpired there in 1824.
In the midst of terrifying whoops and
yells, the exasperated people dash upon
the remnant of the ill-fated Globe crew,
then ashore, and massacred in cold blood
all but two of their number. One old
woman about sixty years of age ran ('apt.
John North's brother Columbus through
with a spear ar.d pelted out the remainder
of life with stones.
Here let me mention some things
which they believed.
Each land rests, or floats, on the sea
and has its own heaven and hell. Different lands had no common foundation.
Sickness, calamity, a noise at night, or
anything singular, was looked upon as the
work of a ghost. Even the rainbow they
regarded as the work of a spirit moving
upon the clouds. They entertained this
strange idea until Father Sturgis made a
prism, which convinced them of their folly
and made them laugh at their simplicity.
Among certain classes there is a belief
that spirits swarm in the air and take human form; that they sometimes inhabit
certain birds and fishes which are taboo
as food to the family, though they are allowed to help catch them for others.
'They deified their ancestors, supposing
from time to time that they occupied
blocks of stone. These stones were
anoinktd with oil, and worshiped with
prayer and offerings 'They were ominous
and used for divination. In the Marshall
Islands, instead of stones, certain palm
trees were enclosed for a like purpose.
Bodies of the dead and even of the sick
were sometimes dispatched to sea westward with certain rites and ceremonies.
Bodies of chiefs were buried. At Ponape
they would bury the bodies of a deceased
one very early, lest a stranger, looking
upon it, should offend the spirit. They
believed that the dead go down under the
25
sea to a beautiful world where the scul
finds all it wants, fruits, fish, canoes, feasts,
etc. Going to thic Elysian land, a dark
beautiful place must be passed; on either
side of its portal stand two spirits ready to
catch and thrust down into it all they car.
If those approaching these spiiits can sing
sweetly they are suffered to pass on to
their land of bliss; but woe to him, who is
no singer, that seals his fate and he is cast
down into the dark and fearful abyss.
Such views of the future night help a people to cultivate the voice while living.
You ask for bill of fare in mission families. We ofti ne-r had roast pigeons than
any otler form <i meat diet; (it was our
fortune to be there in pigeon reason,)
fowls, rice, canned meats and fruits, yams,
Irish potatoes, squashes, cucumbers, pineapples (superior to any I have eaten before),
bread and butter, with tea and coffee, or
lemonade, were enjoyed by us while we
were privileged guests at mission tables.
I fear we fined more sumptuously than
they often did after we left.
Some officers of a man of war weie invited to tea by the Snows at Ebon twelve
years ago; a heavy rain prevented their
being present, "Else," Brother Snow said,
"they might have gone off and reported
the extravagantly luxurious living of these
coral-island missionaries; viz.: butter A. 1
or li. 2, white bread toast, moistened with
roast beet from the tin can, wheat meal
biscuit, tin of fresh grapes, tea and cm rat t
pie with half dried apple."
'The missionaries seemed to have suitable', nourishing, palatable food, with nothing extravagant or luxurious, whether their
supplies would hold out, j-nd be preserved
in good condition a whole year or not, the
deponent saith not. 'The almost unvarying climate has, I judge, more de'eterious
effect on health than all other agencies
combined.
Morning prayer-meetings have been kept
up for years at Ova, Ponape, and evening
meetings too for instructing the youth in
Bible history and character; in this way
much good seed is sown and rooted.
You ask the sort of preaching the missionaries give the natives. 'They repeat
the" story of the cross; they preach " to
them "the unsearchable riches of Christ,"
introducing as time admits the arts and
usages, and the hopes and joys of the
Christian life. At Ponape the people
have had the gospel during a whole generation. Brother Doane told me that they
are no more children, and therefore need
something more than milk; he considers
them of full age, and is feeding them with
strong meat.
Moses at his island, Manassa at his, and
Brother Logan at his, have each induced
the people about them to build long stone
wharves out into the lagoon in order to
lighten and expedite work at low tide; but
they have also done other work, which, if
put into the balances above, would far
outweigh the former, although these landing places are exceedingly convenient and
advantageous.
