A STRONG WITNESS.
On the Sabbath when we in Honolulu
were waiting in fear for what of battle
the Monday might bring upon us, our
dear brother Oliver P. Emerson was
doing us good service in Washington.
He told the statesmen of the Capital,
from the pulpit of the Metropolitan
Presbyterian Church, how intimately
the political issue in Hawaii then agitating the United States, was connected
with the struggle of heathenism, revived
by the Monarch}', to overthrow the
Christianity of the native people. Mr.
Kmerson's large experience as Corns
ponding Secretary of the Hawaiian
Board had qualified him beyond anyother person to give accurate testimony
upon this topic. It is a matter of congratulation that he was enabled to do so
at such a time.
Mr. Kmerson has since then contributed his testimony on the Hawaiian
question to the Sub-Committee of Foreign Affairs of the U. S. Senate, before
whom the fraudulent character of Mr.
Blount's report is being thoroughly exposed by Prof. W. D. Alexander and
many other reliable witnesses.
We give Mr. Kmerson's discourse on
another page.
January 17th was observed with great
as the first Anniversary of
Abrogation of Monarchy in Hawaii,
■usiasm
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That upon examination of
the documents submitted by the Pastor
and the Committee of the Central Union
Church, the Council herewith certifies
its approval of the actions recorded in
regard to terminating the pastoral relation of Rev. K. G. Beckwith, D. D., as
being in due form and order; and in
accordance with the purport of the
Letters Missive, does hereby declare
Rev. K. G. Beckwith, 1). D., duly dismissed from the pastorate ofsaid Church,
said dismissal to take effect, pursuant to
the terms of the letter of resignation, at
the close of the public services of worship on the coming Sabbath, January
14th, 1694.
Resolved, That in coming to this
decision, the Council puts upon record
the regret which we all feel that this
official relationship should so soon terminate, while at the same time we recognize and accept as a finality, the statement of facts, reasons, and considerations
that have in the Providence of God,
brought about this action at this time.
Resolved, That in taking this action, we
express alsoourpersonal sympathy lor the
brother, whose presence and fellowship
have always afforded us such cheer and
comfort, whose judgment we have
always found so helpful in circumstances
that have made us hesitate and seek
counsel in deciding questions of expediency or rightfulness, and whose labors for
the people of his charge have been so
incessant, so wise, and so acceptable.
We congratulate the retiring pastor
that he has been blessed with such a
happy and successful pastorate for these
past six years, consummating with such
marked unanimity the union of two
churches, and carrying on the work
through the completion of such an
arduous undertaking as the building, in
a new location of a new ami costly
house of worship, unencumbered with
any indebtedness.
We bespeak for our honored and
beloved brother in his new relations, the
trust and sympathy of those to whom he
is now to minister, and abundant blessings for himself and family, as well as
for his people, from the Great Head of
the Church, our Divine Guardian, Guide
and Kriend.
ed and warm hearted management of
the affairs of this metropolitan Church.
It was then voted that after the reading and approval of the minutes, the
Council should be dissolved; and that a
copy of the minutes, signed by the
Moderator and by the Scribe, should be
forwarded to the retiring pastor, and to
the Clerk of the Church.
Dr. Beckwith thanked the Council for
their expressions of Christian sympathy,
and regretted that he had not been able
to speak every one of the languages
spoken by members of the Council so
as to have had more frequent personal
intercourse with the ministers and the
Churches, to whom he wished now
through the Pastors and Delegates to
send his farewell greetings.
The minutes were read and approved.
Rev. H. 11. Parker led in a closing
prayer, and the Moderator declared the
Council dissolved.

Honolulu, January 10, 1894.
A Purse for Dr. Beckwith.
The Retiring Pastor of Central Union
Church, had a most affectionate Farewell
Reception in the parlors of the church,
on Monday, January 15th.
A purse of $ 800, was presented to
Dr. Beckwith as a mark of affectionate
regard.
The pastor's Farewell discourse was
preached on the evening of Sunday the
14th.
On the 16th Dr. and Mrs. Beckwith
sailed lor Maui, where they were soon
delightfully settled in their new home at
Paia. where many days of happy usefulness are hoped for as in store for their
later years.
The total available cash balance in
the Hawaiian Treasury on the 25th ult.
had risen to $307,500.23. This large
excess is due to the taxes which are now
mostly collected for the year. Much is
also due to the improvement of the government credit since the threatening
attitude of the United States Minister
came to an end. Since then some
$30,000 have beeu received from excess
of deposits in the Postal Savings Bank,
and $15,000 from sales of Bonds.

A CHRISTIAN NATION.
He Talks on Hawaii, A Heathenizing
Monarchy.
I Krurii rlir WmMmgUlk l-r.tnitlf; Slur of I 1,. rnil.i-i l-»lli.|
Rev. (). P. Emerson, who has had
much experience as a missionary in the
Hawaiian Islands, delivered a very interesting address at the Metropolitan Pres
byterian Church last evening, in which
he presented some new facts in regard
to the efforts made to Christianize the
inhabitants of those islands and bow
these endeavors were received by the
Kalakauan dynasty. He drew a parallel
between the experiences of the Hebrews
weeping and praying by the rivers of
Babylon for their subjugated country
and of the Hawaiian people, and said
Hawaiian (Christianity, during the continuance, at least, of the Kalakauan
dynasty, has been hanging its harp upon
the willows, for all this while it has been
in the presence of most depressing and
harmful, corrupt, idolatrous influence!.
But now that this kingdom has, in the
kind providence of God, been taken away
we believe that the native Hawaiian
churches will be able to do a work which
the influence of a corrupt heathen court
has, for the last twenty years, prevented
them from doing.
:
A CHAPTER NEVER YET WRITTEN.
There is a chapter in the history o'
Hawaiian ('hristianity which the church-
es of this land know little about. Indeed, it has hardly yet been written.
But the time has come when it shall be
written, and I believe it to be my duty to
give you a certain acquaintance with it,
for it accounts, in large measure, for the
present situation of things out there, and
it reveals the possibilities for good which
may be hoped for by the Hawaiian
churches as coming out of the late revo
lotion. Many influences have operated
to corrupt the Hawaiian Christianity and
to weaken the power of the churches
which the missionary fathers established,
but I here submit that no one influence
in all the land has been so baleful as the
Kalakauan dynasty. No twenty years
in all the history of those churches have
been more sad and hopeless than the
twenty years that have just passed, and
which are now signalized by the over
throw of that power. Permit me here to
recountsome of the deeds of that dynast)',
and let me say that what I bring to the
charge of the late King Kalakaua I also
bring to the charge of his sister, the late
(jueen Liliuokalani; for though at first
she carried into her reign a semblance of
decency, at last, unfortunately for herself,
she threw off this semblance and appeared in her real character. In recounting
some of the evil influences exerted by
these two reigns, permit me to mention
first the encouragement which was given
to idolatry, the appeal which was made
to the old heathen and superstitious
spirit which was still in the land.
After the coming of the missionary
fathers, and during the reign of the
Kamehamehas, the determined assault
which had been made upon heathenism
had broken its power. The nation be
came a really Christian nation. The
generation was converted to the truth.
Up to IXO3 more than 77,000 converts
had been gathered into the churches.
Then it was, during a visit ol Dr. Ander
son, then foreign secretary of the A. B.
C. K. M., that the policy Waa adopted of
putting the churches under the charge of
native pastors.
The missionary fathers had done their
work. They had reduced an unwritten
language to writing; the-)' had translated
the Bible and the hymn book, the spelling book and thearithmetic, and created
a secular and religious literature, and
founded the schools, the churches and
the homelife where this was taught and
enjoyed. In short, the)' had established
in the hand a Christian civilization, and
converted an entire people, and now, as
the fathers dropped away to their rest.
the policy of maintaining a foreign missionary pastorate was to give way to that
of an independent Hawaiian pastorate.
The outlook was hopeful; the wisdom
of the fathers approved the change
Before long twenty large parishes were
divided into nearly three times the num
her, and as fast as the native preachers
could be trained they were put in charge
of these parishes.
FTIARHSETCKC
ON HRISTIANITY.
The first marked attack on the Hawaiian Christianity was made in IBflB,
when King Lot Kamehameha began to
issue licenses to Hawaiian kahunas or
sorcerers.
These licenses permitted
these men to practice the healing art as
they knew it. Their power was the
power of the fetish worshipper; of the
sorcerer and practise! of the black arts
that appealed to the superstitious fears
ol the people. Their use of drugs and
herbs, where these were used, was supported by heathen incantations and
prayers to the ancient gods. The)
leveled these incantations and prayers
against their enemies.
They claimed
to be able to pray people to death, and
where prayers did not avail the)' would
sometimes use poison.
Thus they came to be a power in the
bind that was feared. This power stood
for the revival of superstition, and became it menace to the development of
the Christian life.
Bach village had its kahuna or sorcerer, who Was greatly feared. He was
against the light, against the missionary
influence, against the white man and the
white government doctors.
He professed to be able to heal the
sick because he could pray people to
death. Every native pastor had his
antagonist in a native kahuna. Over
against the church the kahuna set up his
idolatrous shrine. Thus there has
grown up a heathen part)- hating the
[February, 1894.
whites; a party that divides each parish
in the land, and even invades the church,
and in some cases the parsonage. I
have heard Hawaiian pastors again and
again tell in pathetic tones how these
heathen influences have stolen away
from them their people.
INCREASE OFHEATHENINFLUENCES.
I have heard them confess how the
Kahunas have gained an influence in
their own homes. How certain remedies have been recommended to them
for some sick child of the house, and
how, before they knew it, they would be
in the hands of the Kahuna. I could
tell instance after instance of this.
1 could tell how Hawaiian pastors
have had their superstitious fears so
worked on as to become themselves
keepers of fetiches. I have heard them
confess to this and relate the story of
their final deliverance. I could go over
the list of the Hawaiian ministry and
give the names of probably nearly every
man who now has fetiches in bis 01 ho.
wife's possession, and who is thus more
or less under the influence of the Kahuna
or sorcerer of his parish.
If I cannot
name every man in the native ministry
who is thus under the heathen influence
I can name those who have come out of
it to my personal knowledge, or those
who were never afflicted by it. One of
the great fights we are now making out
here is against this heathen tendency,
and the great and hopeful fact is this,
that the Hawaiian pastors are waking
op to the need of this light and are taking
decided part in it ; and now that there is
no longer a Hawaiian court to stand out
against them in it, there is great hope
that they will begin to make short work
of the light.
This, then, is the point I make against
the late dynasty against Kalakaua and
against CJueen Liliuokalani that while
they ruled they gave countenance to this
heathen party ; that they made a bid for
its influence ; that they won it to their
support; that they greatly enlarged it;
that they intrenched it yet more strongly
in the land, and use it to achieve their
wicked ends.
—
KALAKAUA
MADE THE PAGAN PARTY.
It may be said that Kalakaua made
the part)'. When he came to the throne
he gathered the scattered forces of
heathenism together and proclaimed
himself their high priest, and led them
in the onslaughts he made against the
Christian civilization which had been so
happily founded in Hawaii. He was
about as corrupt a king as ever ruled on
any throne. His court, like himself, was
also corrupt. He himself was given to
the practice of the grossest immorality.
In his wickedness he fomented the race
feeling. He worked through the heathen
party to make the Hawaiian! bitter
against the white man. He who had
been enthroned almost by the white man
became the white man's enemy. Though
be should have been king for all, he
�reigned in the interest of but a portion
of his subjects.
He tried to paganize the country and
heathenize it. He made a deliberate attempt to bring the free church of Hawaii
under his power. He worked to debauch
its ministry. He set himself up as a
student of the ancient heathen cult and
founded a society for its revival. With
a blasphemous purpose he declared that
there was a harmony between the Christ
ian and the heathen faith. He declared
Jehovah to be but one of the gods to be
supplicated. Kalakaua thus did his
utmost to corrupt the Hawaiian Christianity. He brought it very low. He
gave it a blow which it must be the work
of a generation to heal, and my chargeis that Queen Liliuokalani followed at
last the path which her brother had so
plainly marked out. She gathered about
her throne this corrupt heathen element.
She allied it with her rule as one of its
prominent factors, and when in those
last mad days of her reign she sought
to gain absolute power, she went through
the farce of putting forward this bitter
heathen element as the petitioners for
the acceptance at her hand of the revolutionary constitution which she hail had
her lawyer secretly prepare for her.
Thus she gathered about her the worst
elements of the land that they might
come to her support during those last
days of her mad purpose of self-aggran-
dizement.
RUATMHNTRAFFIC.
DEOPIUM
Hut again, there were other influences
which these guilty Hawaiian rulers let
loose on their people to their destruction.
There was the ruin and opium traffic
No rulers ever so encouraged this
nefarious traffic as did the)*. Kalakaua
legalized the sale of liquor among bis
people, and sold two opium franchises at
$70,(1(1(1 apiece, and (jueen Liliuokalani
signed the distillery and opium bills.
Kalakaua smuggled rum into his kingdom and set up saloons in interest of his
own pocket; and Liliuokalani joined the
opium ring and kept in power and near
est to her on her throne men who were
engaged in this lawless and wicked
traffic.
11
THE FRIEND.
Vol. 52, No. 2. |
In the help they gave to the rum and
the opium traffic, in the commercial gain
they sought out of it for their piivate
purses, King Kalakaua and Cjueen Liliuokalani are to be justly charged with a
deliberate attempt to destroy the lives of
their people.
The speedy extinction which threatens
that people may be traced largely to the
use of these poisons. Liquor was the
first potent poison to be plied, and then
opium was added to it. Not only were
the laws made such that liquor could be
easily obtainable, but such men were
kept in office that opium might come in
also, for the trade was profitable to the
royal purse, and on election days it was
customary to furnish liquor to all who
voted the royal ticket. Whisky helped
the royalist fight his battle at the polls,
and whisk)' was but a part of the bribe
with which these rulers carried the day.
If this traffic in rum and opium were to
be countenanced, encouraged and continued for another twenty years, as it has
been for the twenty years just past, the
native Hawaiian would cease to be an
element of importance in the land, for
he would be mostly killed off.
WHA'I WDIT
I)
FOLLOW A MONARCHY.
Let this wicked rule which was represented by Kalakaua and his sister, con
tinue to hold the ground for but half the
time it has ahead)' held it, anil the native Hawaiian Christianity would be all
but dead, for then the generation nowcoming up for its reinforcement would
be so irreti'ievah y alienated from the
truth and so corrupted as to be hardly
convertible. Kvt-n now the pastors in
the field are crying out that the hearts
of the people have been so embittered
and alienated as to make it all but im
possible to reach them. This is what
rum and opium and heathenism have
done under xupport from the throne.
This is what briber)' and part)' strife
and the fomenting of race feeling have
clone under the lead of the throne.
The Corrupt pagan and heathen influence of the courts of Kalakaua and of
Liliuokalani have reached so deeply into
the life of that people that its recover)'
must be slow.
Not only has there been
a deliberate attempt to corrupt the
church, there has also been a deliberate
and often achieved attempt to corrupt
the state. The entire civil and social
life of the people has felt the hurt of
this ungodly, wicked court, anil if there
is anything the Hawaiian people should
thank God for, it is for its final, utter
overthrow.
The good native Christians out there
will never again want to go back to that
hateful idolatry.
NO
KING OR QUEEN
CAN
EVER AGAIN REIGN.
No king or queen will ever again be
able to beguile them into it. They have
come by their sad experience to be above
the corruption of a pagan court. Verily,
I believe that the best of them will never
cry to God again for a king or for a queen,
for they have been fairly weaned from
such rule. Nor will they be ontent with
anything that is like!) to stand as a
menace to their earnest purpose after a
purer Christian life.
But though that Hawaiian Christianity
has been divorced, as we may believe,
from any further liking for pagan and
heathen ways; though there as in Israel
so long ago the I loly One has been exalted, look at the pathos of the situation.
They are not through with the fight.
They are building up that outpost of
civilization and holding it, as that Hebrew
city was held and built of old. with the
spade in one hand and the sword in the
other. Will America look on, as did
l'.dom in that day, only with a purpose to
stop the work? That ancient Hebrew
picture of brave men lighting lor God

Clemency.
During the Black Week following the
arrival of the Corwin, Mr. Willis had his
second important interview with the
ex-queen. Mr. J. Q. Carter had been
laboring with her to abate her vengelulness, and concede the full amnesty
which President Cleveland required her
to promise as the condition ol her restoration.
He was so far successful that on the
16th of December, 1893, in the
presence of Mr. Willis and Mr. Carter,
she expressed her willingness to permit
her enemies to live, but insisted that
they and their childien should be permanently banished, and their property
confiscated. Otherwise there would
never be any security for her and
her subjects. Two days later, Mr. Carter
prevailed on her to concede full amnesty,
and Mr. Willis immediately demanded
of the government to restore the bloodthirsty queen.
The above is from Mr. Willis' own

FRIEND.
Mr. Bishop's representation in The
I tidependent of the position taken byMr. Davies, was based upon his own
language in his "Open Letter upon the
Hawaiian Crisis," dated August 26th,
1893. Therein, after quoting from the
N. Y. Times that "the Provisional Government is in the attitude of offering to
dispose of stolen goods "--"it is a proposition to convey and make over to the
United States a stolen kingdom." Mr.
Davies goes on to enforce the truth of
that charge, and adds, that "everyone
knows that the movement has had the
active sympathies of the bulk of the
representatives of the honored missionary families; and with one exception, I
do not know of a single protest that has
been published in their name."
Mr. Davies then goes on to devote
one third of his letter to strong repre-
hension of the report of the Evangelical
Association in which, as he correctly
intimates, the sons of missionaries take
the lead. He does this on account of
the Report's supporting the revolution.
The foregoing is a dispassionate statement ol what Mr. Davies said in his
Without comment,

our readers are asked to judge whether,
as he complains, Mr. Bishop's statement of his accusation against the sons
of missionaries was an incorrect one.

An Urgent Appeal.
From the accompanying statement of
Mr. VV. W. Hall, the treasurer of the
Hawaiian Board, it is evident that the
work of the Board has not been curtailed
because of the political uncertainties of
the country. Nor have generous friends
and supporters of the Board failed to give
liberally to defray the large expenditures
ofits constantly increasing work. J. T.
Waterhouse, Sr., has for two years given
$ 150 monthly; and this form of giving
has been of special advantage in carry
ing on the operations of the Board.
Rev. E. Bond, C. M. Cooke, Esq., Mrs.
M. S. Rice, Mrs. J. M. Cooke have been
large givers, enabling the Treasurer to
meet the large amounts coming due at
the beginning of the year.
But the Foreign Works calls for an
outlay of $3,000: North Pacific Mission
ary Institute, $1,000: Cjueen Emma Hall,
$1,200; Kohala Seminary, $1,000: other
Hawaiian Work $1,800: Chinese Mission, $5,400; Portuguese, $3,600: |apanese, $3,000: Publications, $500: Gene
ral Expenses, $2,500: a total of $24,000
as the very lowest calculation of proba
ble expenses: or $28,000, if there is to be
no retrenchment of absolutely necessary
expenses, involving to that extent aban
donment of some lines of most important Christian Work.
The Hawaiian Board is only the agent
and almoner of the Christian people of
these islands, and of all who contribute
to its treasury, or give to its permanent
funds. It stands ready to do whatever
is practicable, urgent and feasible, with
the resources and workers at its disposal.
It has tried and true friends who have
never failed to come to its help in any
time of special need. But it would
welcome help from the many men of
means and of benevolence outside of its
present constituency. It needs and asks
the generous support of all who love
their fellows, all who pray for the establishment and progress of Christ's king
dom, all who will cordially cooperate in
the good work it is doing, which needs
now, more than ever, not only the large
gifts of those who have ample means,
but also a larger number of gifts from
more people of smaller means. Let the
need prompt you to give, and with your
gifts let there be earnest prayer that
God will bestow a special blessing upon
those who administer your bounty as
well as those who are the recipients of it.

Work Among the Portuguese.
Rev. A. Y. Soares reports 162regular
church services held during the year.
Many meetings have been held in the
homes of the church members. Occasional meetings have also been attended
at the homes of persons, at first opposed,
but now friendly. Out of their poverty
the people have contributed for benevolent and church work, $101.90. The
arrival of a Roman Catholic priest who
could speak Portuguese, created a little
stir at first, but there has been apparently no change in the condition of affairs
in consequence of his coming. Dr. N.
B. Emerson is Sabbath School Superintendent, and the school continues to
prosper. Mrs. A. F. Cooke has gathered
books enough to make a promising
beginning of a Sabbath School Library.
The day school now enrolls over 10(1
scholars. The evening school is still
maintained. There has been organized
also a Missionary Society which, in
time, will concentrate and deepen the
missionary spirit of the chinch members
and others.
