in Canton with a view of supplying
helpers in missionary work. He raised
an endowment for a college in China,
which he lived to set- established on a
firm basis. He was a frequent contributor to the Chinese Recorder and other
magazines. Some published discourses
delivered within the last two years of his
life, show remarkable depth of thought
and feeling.
VVe derive these facts from an extend
ed obituary in the New York Observer
"Blue Laws of Hawaii."
With its love of disparaging Missionaries, the Royalist sheet lloloiiuia of this
city, has for several months been parading under the above heading successive
columns of-reprint of the first Code of
Laws enacted in the Hawaiian Kingdom
in 1842, which was the work of Rev.
Wm. Richards and Dr. G, P. Judd, then
recently of the American Mission, aided
by other gentlemen. We were not aware
that so elaborate a code of laws was then
enacted. The Holomua promises to
issue them in book form, which will
certainly be a public service.
As an attempt to cast obloquy on the
old missionaries, the re publication of
those laws is a signal fjilure. They
are replete with wise moderation and
good sense. It will probably be impossible to point out any single statute
which is not good and fitting for the
time when it was enacted. The code is
a noble monument both to the spirit of
justice in the native chiefs, and of
concession to the requirements of the
new civilization, and also to the great
ability and wisdom of those missionaries

From the Made \Wath.
By S. E llisiior
One of the more conspicuous of the
witnesses upon whose testimony Col.
James H. Blount based his report to
President Cleveland, used the following
language:
"It may be remarked as a significant
fact, that with two exceptions, the children of the missionaries neglected to enter the chosen field of their fathers, they

the gentle Islanders take their chances,
while for themselves they generally
preferred lives which gave promise of

!
�Vol. 52, No.
12.]
Many other children of old missionary
families might be named who .ire not
ably active in missionary labors, like
the Smiths of Koloa, the Rices of Lihue,
the Lymans of Hi la, the P.ukeis, Chamberlains, Mrs. Dillingham, the Misses
Lvniis and many others.
If some of our missionaries' sons have
reaped large rewards in secular industry,
it cannot be denied that they have also
contributed to the work of the gospel and
education far more liberally than Christians do in America
We cannot refrain from adding that
the inaccuracy of Mr. Blount's witness
which has thus been shown, largely
characterizes a majority of the testimony
upon which Commissioner Blount based
his report. It is needless here to discuss the causes prod tit ing this tendency
to
erroneous statements.
The Campbellites.
We employ this name for the Christian denomination represented in Honolulu by the Rev. T. 1). Garvin, not in
the least as a '•nickname," as they
profess to resent it, but as a natural and
honorable designation, after the name of
their eminent founder, Alexander Campbell If they would give us any other
distinctive name for themselves, it would
be a pleasure to use it. The name they
arrogate of "The Christian Church" is
not distinctive, and cannot properly be
allowed by other bodies of Christians,
as distinctively belonging to this one
denomination. The name "Disciples,"
is open to the same objection.
These brethren are good people, and
seem to be in earnest to bring sinners
to rcpentance'uul to faith in Christ, in
which we greatly rejoice. We could
wish that they were not so very intent
also on bringing people to undergo
immersion, not only "sinners," but also
some of our most earnest and faithful
Christians whom they have diligently
proselyted to their views. We endeavor
to exercise a sincere deference to the
opinions of those who believe- that mi
mersion is the only true form of baptism;
but it does not seem consistent with
the spirit of the religion of Christ, to
make so much of this "form of a form,"
this method of administering a mere
outward rite, as to make it a ground of
schism and disunion towards other
branches of the Christian Church. If
this is not sectarianism, we do not know
what that term means.
(ireat emphasis is also placed by the
Campbellites upon Baptism as a condition equally with Repentance and Faith,

THE FRIEND
Campbellites about Baptism seems to
us quite parallel to that of Ritualists
about the other great Sacrament of the
church.
As to the Campbcllite claim of having
no "creed," we find in their books that
they have just as rigid a set of doctrinal
tenets as any other denomination, and
the] are just as ready to disown any
minister who does not hold with them
to those tenets, such as the Divinity of
Christ, Bible Inspiration, Repentance.
Faith, Baptism, the Resurrection and
Eternal Judgment. The claim to have
the Bible only as their creed; but that
necessarily means the Bible 81 they
interpret it. If another interprets it
differently, he is not som d in the faith.
The total fallacy of their claim is
manifest.
However, these good brethren are
here, and we hope will sow much good
seed, although we apprehend that some
tares have got mixed into what they
give us.
Campbellite Preaching.
We have twice listened to the preaching of Mr. Garvin in his "Gospel Tent."
Our personal observation confirmed what
came to us from other sources, that the
great burden of his preaching is that
Baptism, meaning Immersion, is an indispensable requisite to the forgiveness
of sins, to salvation, and to entering the
kingdom of God. Repentance, reform
ation of life, and holy living, are spoken
of. Faith on Christ is pressed as important; but it is faith especially as evinced
by obedience that is urged; and that
obedience seems to be shown mainly in
being immersed. The doctrines preached are the ordinary Christian doctrines,
with immersion brought to the front,
magnified to distortion, and given ten
times the emphasis of every thing else.
Now if we believed in Immersion as the
only proper mode of Baptism, we should
stili feel that such preaching was all out
of proportion and distorted. It is most
unwholesome and darkening to. spiritual
thought, to fix the attention of seekers
after Christ upon a point of outward
ritual. The preacher no doubt was
justified in repudiating the charge of
teaching that baptism regenerates, 01
that it has any intrinsic efficacy to wash
away sins. But he does teach, with
constant iteration, that it is the indispensable condition of the remission ol
sins, of adherence to Christ, and of
part in him. Such an exaltation of an
outward rite, is plainly contrary to tht
whole spirit of the Gospel. It is in the
line of that downward tendency which
plunged the ancient churches into the
mire of ritualism. It is the same spirit
which Paul rebuked in Colossians 2:16,
17; '.'(I, 21, "Let no man therefore judge
you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of
a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath
»
day: which are a shadow of things to
come; but the body is Christ's." "If ye
died with Christ from the rudiments of
the world, why, as though living in the
world, do ye subject yourselves to ordinances, 'Handle not. nor taste, nor
touch,' (all which things are to perish
with the using) after the precepts and
doctrines of men?"
Our Lord gave His Church two sacraments, Baptism and the Fncharist as
tokens of grace for then comfort and
edification. Let us not pervert his good
gifts by erecting them into over-mastering dignity and supremacy of importance.
That is contrary to the whole spirit of
His religion. We are much pained that
any one should come here and disseminate such erroneous principles, at the
same time making the arrogant claim of
being "The Christian Church." But
Satan will always manage to introduce
the seed of tares among the good seed.
We think that the Enemy has contrived
to mix in a very damaging amount of
his tares with the good seed these Campbellites undoubtedly scatter.
Needs of California.
By Rev.
J. A. Cruzan.
When the "average Californian" turns
his attention from our future material
to our future moral possibilities he
grows thoughtful, or, at least, he ought
to do so. We are much moie willing
to talk with our Eastern friends about
the material California of to day than
the moral California. The hard and
fast materialism which tests everything
by the standard of the dollar mark ($),
the continental Sabbath which prevails
so largely from Siskiyou to San Diego,
the easy divorce and lax ideas of sexual
relation, the frequent murders and the
unprecedented percentage of suicides—
about these thinge, if we talk at all with
our Eastern friends, we talk apologetically and in whispers.
I do not believe that all the centuries
which have passed since the Carpenter's
Son preached in Galilee, have given us
anything to compare with His gospel
as a producer of manhood.
I know
that our theosophical friends tell us they
have discovered something very much
better. But somehow it does not do the
work that the gospel does. Take India,
towaid which the eyes of all theosophists
now turn, trying to make themselves
believe they see "a great light " After
her visit there the great traveler. Mrs.
Isabella Bird Bishop, wrote:
"Sin and shame are everywhere, but
in the heathen world sin is enthroned
and deified and worshiped. How corrupt Buddhism is! how corrupt Buddhists are! Scarcely a single thing

Japanese Celebration.
The Japanese of Honolulu held a very
spirited celebration of their Emperor's
birthday November 4th. There was a
procession, a splendid display of fireworks, and a grand meeting in the
evening at the Beretania Street Armory.
[December, 1894.

Restoration in 1843, of the Hawaiian
Flag by Admiral Thomas, a day of great
gladness after five months of captivity
under Lord Paulet. To Americans,
Restoration Day was hardly less dear
than to Hawaiians, because it saved
Hawaii from becoming a British Colony
and preserved it for its natural destiny
as one of the United States of America,
not yet realized, but soon to be fulfilled,
as all things indicate. The observances

Christian Work in Honolulu.
In bis "Gospel tent" last Sunday
evening, we heard our good brother T.
W. Garvin assert with much emphasis,
that he had "never been in any city that
was so much in need of Christian work
as Honolulu." This quite took us aback,
familiar as we necessarily were with the
great variety of Christian agencies so
long at work in this city, both for the
evangelization of the ignorant, and for
the relief of the suffering. We have our
strong Chinese Mission, with its system
of schools, from Kindergarten to the
Mills Institute. We have the very
active Japanese Mission under the able
superintendence of Messrs. Gulick and
Okabe, with its large corps of capable
Japanese ministers scattered throughout
the islands. We have our well equipped
Portuguese Mission, with its system of
schools. The Hawaiian work has been
thoroughly carried on for generations,
and no Hawaiian but has Christ taught
to him, not only by Protestants, but by
Anglicans and Catholics. Both common
and higher education are abundantly
supplied to Hawaiians, especially in the
excellent Training Schools for both
sexes, conducted by the three denominations above named, and not only to
Hawaiians, but to all other nationalities.
Free Kindergartens supported by Protestants are in full operation for the
little ones of the five different races
represented here.
Relief agencies, City Mission work,
Temperance work have long been diligently carried on. Whenever any new
agency is proposed to better meet old
needs, or supply new ones, our Christian
people are prompt to meet the call with
heart and purse. As an instance, witness the eager welcome our Christian
friends have given to the officers of the

THE FRIEND
especially such an absence of extreme
destitution, as in Honolulu. This is in
direct contradiction to Mr. Garvin's
language, and will probably strike most
people as being the tiuth rather than
the other statement. There is much
work yet to be done in Honolulu. We
have not yet found all the suffering souls
needing spiritual succor or material help.
We have got to be constantly alert to
supply those needs. But we believe it
to be true that there is no city on earth,
whose inhabitants are more thoroughly
reached by the Gospel than those of
Honolulu, allowing of course, for the
inevitable religious ignorance of new
come Asiatics.
It has occured to us, that with the ex
cessive stress which brother Garvin lays
upon the ordinance of Baptism in the
form of Immersion, as a necessary
condition for entering the kingdom of
Heaven, it may have been the absence
of enlightenment on that point in Hono
lulu which he was deploring. It is pro
bably true that he has never found a city
where so small a proportion of the inhabitants esteemed immersion to be of
importance to salvation. We of Honolulu are no doubt exceptionally unconvinced on that subject, and therefore in
the worthy preacher's view, exceptionally
in need of Christian work.
Was that what Mr. Garvin meant ?
Defied the United States.
At the Sharpshooter's banquet on the
24th, at the close of a speech from President Dole, Dr. Nichols proposed three
cheers for the "only man who ever
knocked the chip off of Uncle Sam's
shoulder without getting licked for it."
The cheers were given with a heartygoodwill. President Dole was called
upon again. He was intensely earnest
in a brief review of the trying events of
last December. All credit was given to
the citizen soldiery behind the Government. When it appeared that a move
ment from the Philadelphia was inevitable, a council was held. It had about
been settled to make only a passive resistance, to allow the building to be fired
upon, and then to surrender. At this
juncture, with the danger imminent, the
volunteers had offered their services in
defense of the Government. There had
been compunction about asking Americans to fire upon the flag. This offer
settled all that, and it was arranged to
give battle. The President hoped often
to meet the brave men who were willing
to fight for their rights. -P. C. Adver
User.
It is now a year since those dark days
of December last, when battle and bloodshed seemed imminent. Deepest thanks
be to God, that now we have peace, and
honorable government, free from the
despotism that was then threatened to
be replaced over us.

Lands and Roads.
During his vacation on the island of
Hawaii, from which President Dole is
now returned, he gave great attention
to the subjects of Crown Lands, Homesteads, and Roads, with a view to probable legislation for those objects. Owing
to the greater size of that island, considerable tracts of the most valuable
lands are unavailable owing to their
distance from the sea until roads are
constructed to and through them. Since
the Crown Lands have reverted to public control, selling in place of leasing
should be practiced, so that occupants
shall be mole ready to make improvements. An improved system of Home
steads should also he adopted, for the
benefit of the natives, also for that of
poor white settlers. The President's
observation and study of these three
subjects while on Hawaii may be expected to bear important and valuable
fruit at the coming session of the Legislature.

iioNoi.i'i.r,
This page i. devoted to the interest* of ih»- Hawaiian
Hoard of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the
Hoard, is responsible for it- content*.
Rev, O.
P. Emerson,
- . Editor,
DIED, on the 26th of November last
Rev. J. 11. Pahio, 68 years old. Hewas a native of Puna, Hawaii, was edu
cated at the Hilo Boys' BOarding School
under Rev. 1). 15. Lyman. He began
his ministry in 1.-iiJ at Onomea, Hawaii.
His story is best told in his own words.
"I did the most I could as a preacher to
promote the Gospel ofChrist till this disease (leprosy) came upon me." He was
for a tune preacher at the leper jitrttlt;
ment. He has been a wise counst lloi
Hut two of his
to the present pastor.
family of Seven children survive him.
Itis very much desired that the
students of the X. P. M. I. studying
English under the Rev. Mr. Leadingham
lie supplied with certain text books.
Those especially needed now are "An-
drew's Hawaiian Dictionary," "Hitch
cock's English Hawaiian Dictionary,"
and "Webster's School Dictionary."
Any who have second-h. nd copies of the
above books to spare would be very
obliging if they would place them either
in Dr. Hyde's or Mr. Leadingham's
hands.
Treasurer Hall reports $1000 just
received from a friend who always does
bis part in giving. This is a thanksgiving
offering. It meets a bank deficit and
pays certain monthly salaries. Hut there
still remains to be paid an outstanding
debt of $3000. Till this obligation is
met we cannot righteously incur further
expenditures in the line of publications,
and yet Dr. Bingham holds in his hands
the manuscript of his Gilbert Islands
Bible Dictionary, awaiting the Board's
vote for it to go to the press. We ask
you to wipe out our debt and leave us a
working balance for the beginning of the
year.
The Meeting at Molokai.
The semi annual meeting of the Maui
and Molnkai Association, which occurred
Nov. 7—9, was held at Halawa, Mololtai,
in the parish of Rev. J. Kaalouahi. This
is an out-of-the-way place, inaccessible
to shipping for most of the year, and
reached from Pukoo, the nearest usual
steamer landing, only by a long, climbing road that goes over the spur of the
mountain range at Lanikaula, and thence
descends into the valley.
Halawa is the easternmost of those
bottom lands opening northward that
are shut off from the rest of the island of
Molokai by its tremendous mountain
walls, while the Lepei Settlement forms
the westernmost. The Leper Settle
ment is a tongue of bottom land reach-
ing out into the sea with the cliffs back
of it. Ualawa is a valley reaching inland with mountain walls on three sides
and the sea in front. Retween this
valley and the Leper Settlement lie tht
two almost inaccessible valleys of l'clekunii and Wailau (the mill itudinous
Waters), which form the parish of Rev.
(i. \V. Kolopaptla.
When the Rev. Kolnpapela wishes to
pass from one of these contiguous valleys
which form bis parish to the other, he
cannot [jo by an easy road.
He cannot
simply climb over the dividing ridge, for
it is an impassable ban iei. 11 tht- usually
boisterous sea permits he may take a
canoe and sail around the headland.
Hut if not, he must climb out the side of
one valley, go up over the mountain
range anil down into the open country.
travel along the water front to annthci
pait of tin- island, and then tuin back
and again attack the heights ill the island
at another point and climb over them
and down into the other valley.
It thus transpires, that the Rev Kolop.l-pela, who is a heavy man, with none of tht
nimhleness of the goats or deer that climb
the peaks above him, and with little resemblance in form to the ancient Kukini,
or runner, sometimes does not see the
other half of his parish for months at a
time. It is said that during these intervals, while the reverend shepherd is
away from his sheep, and they are left
largely to their own devices, they have
been known, some of them, to occupy
themselves in distilling okolehao, the
Hawaiian "moonshine liquor made
from ti root.
Though the sessions of the Association began on the Tib, the meetings of
the Sunday School Association find the
Y. P. S. C E. began on Monday the 6th.
Hence it was necessary that the delegations should reach the island the previous week. By the courtesy of Captain
McGregor of the Mokolii, the Maui Con
tingent was landed on Thursday, the Ist
of the month, at Honouli, which is jus*
at the foot of the ascending mountain
road going over to Halawa. Here they
were several miles nearer their destination than they would have been if landed
at PukiH).
With the coming of the delegates began the work of the pastor and the com
mittee on hospitalities. Among the fore
handed householders of Halawa there
are not many whose domestic relations
are morally pure enough to warrant self
respecting people being entertained by
them. ('onsequently but few houses
were opened to the guests. The Pastor's
house naturally was crowded, and his
time was taken up day and night in serving his guests. The few that assisted
him did well. Fish and beef and pork
and poi were bountifully served. Nets
were let for mullet and lines were used
for the deep sea Kawelea. Small shellfish of a rare flavor were also picked from
the rocks of the shore by the women and
plentifully supplied to the guests.
97
The social intercourse was not an insignificant part of the entertainment.
It was helpful for the brethren to meet
and exchange experiences; talk over
their work, tell their troubles, exchange
views on the knotty questions of the day,
and laugh and joke through it all. There
were men there who needed sympathy
and they found it in each other. They
net tied to take a view of the work in its
larger relations and they were helped
so to do. At the meetings important
matters touching the Sunday School
work were settled. I)i /isive measures
were forestalled, ami a better understanding was reached as to the policy of the
churches in these troublous times. It
was the feeling of the brethren when they
parted, that political differences should
not he permitted to divide them in the
church,work; and as regards this thing
it may be said, that there is a belter undei standing as to the church matters all
around, that there is to be noted a growing harmony from one end of the group
to the other.
The presence of the brethren of the
Association was a stimulus to the people
of Halawa. The few members of the
church there were sadly in need of such
stimulus. Helpful, devotional meetings
were held every evening. There are
good men in the Hawaiian pastorate, and
those who met at Halawa were watchful
of opportunities for personal and private
conversation on matters pertaining to
the purity of the home and of the
christian life.
House to house visitation was engaged
in by a visiting brother, the pastor from
Waialua, Oahu, and much good was
done by way oi harmonizing differences
between the pastor and offended parishioners. This was done before the sessions of the Association and chiefly in
the parish of the pastor at Kaluaha.
It was in the parsonage at Kaluaaha
that the Sec. and his companion, the pastor from Waialua, had an experience
with fleas which was phenomenal, and
had it not been for the Dr. and his worthy
wife who came to the rescue with thenkind hospitality, the matter might have
been more serious. The parsonage at
Kaluaaha, thanks to the good friends of
, has at last been surroundpastor
ed by a strong wire fence. Outsideroaming animals are shut out, but insideroaming animals are shut in. The next
absolute necessity for the peace of that
family is a pig pen. Eight dollars will
do it. Three are already on hand, five
more are needed. Whoever will place
this sum to the credit of "The Pastors'
Furnishing Fund,'' W. W. Hall, treasurer, will confer a benefit on the pastor at
Kaluaaha,and on every chance guest that
may come to his door. A more hospitable soul than he never drew breath, and
yet perhaps, faithful and true and kind
and patient as he is in all his work, there
are few men of his worth and influence
in the land who have less to do with in
the way of material support.
�98
The pastor at Halawa also gave every
thing he had to make his guests comfortable at the meeting of the Association,
down to the last dollar in his pocket, and
he had little to give asjde from meat and
drink and a mat to sleep on.
Verily ihese men, loyal to the last
breath to all that is good, men who have
proved loyal to the bearing of much
obloquy from their mistaken neighbors,
for our sakes and the truth's aie deserv
ing of oui sympathy and solid financial
aid.
A Visit to the Pastor at the Leper
Settlement.
It was through the courtesy of the
President of the Hoard of Health that we
were enabled to visit pastor M. C. Kea
loha, and with him go through his two
parishes and meet with his people of the
Leper Settlement.
We were fortunate in having the pas
tor of Kaumakapili Church as our companion. Our first visit, after landing in
the morning was made to the parsonage,
whithfcr the pastor led us through crowds
of lepers Standing by. We there awaited
horses which were to take us across the
leper district to Kalawao, which is about
two and a half miles from the landing at
Kalaupapa. The pastor was thoughtful
enough to lend me his horse and saddle
while he rode on a mount brought him
by one of his leper paris doners.
All the way the pastor and his guests
were greeted by his parishioners. There
were not a few who recognized in the
venerable form of the pastor of Kaumakapili a former friend and teacher. This
brother now takes a double interest in
things at the settlement, for he has not
only many former parishioners there,
but also a son. This young man was
not long since studying with one of the
architects of this city. He showed talent,
and there was before him the promise
of a successful career. It was while
abroad whither he went to visit the Columbian Exposition, thathe first developed symptoms of leprosy. All the hopes
of a career such as he had marked out,
had to be given up by this talented and
amiable young man. He is a leper
among his leper brethren at the Leper
Settlement. What is there left for him
to
do?
One thing certainly he is trying to do,
and that is to be helpful to those around
him by doing the service that comes to
hand and by living an inwardly clean
life. He is already a recognized power
in the community. Dr. Goto has put
him in charge of his hospital, or experiment ward for the curing of leprosy.
Young Waiamau is also a zealous member of the Y. M. C. A. at the Leper
Settlement.
It has been suggested that he may be
engaged to take the place of Secretary
of that organization and devote himself
entirely to its interests. Certainly the
light has not gone out of this brave,

THE FRIEND.
young life, even though leprosy has there must be a position which forces
come in. After a visit to Father Conrady the thought to the front. Tl is is perhaps
who has the Damien parish, and also a the chief compensation it offers, for only
visit to Hrother Dutton and the Sisters with the sense of being helpful can come
connected with the Baldwin home, one
should be ready to go to church and
worship with a measure of faith in the
possibilities of goodness of sainthood,
for these are good men and women who
in a quiet way are making themselves
very helpful to their suffering neighbors.
At Church at Kalawao we had an
audience of about f>o. Two sons of Hawaiian pastors were present.
The Church at Kalawao seems to beat peace with itself. It is not the leading church, and has not in it the e'ements
of strife. The afternoon service was
held with the church at Kslaupapa. The
church building stands ins large enclosed
lot near the landing. At one side and
in the same lot stands the new Y. M.
C. A. building, the gift of the Hon. (1.
X. Wilcox.
Here are to be found the more active
elements of our work at the settlement.
The church and the congregation arclarger. The settlement is more extensive.
The Pastor's house stands a little ways
back of the church lot and in a lot of its
own with a fence about it. The church
owes $50 on this fence and is making
appeal to friends to have it paid off.
This can be done in the name of any one
who will put $oh for this purpt se to the
account of the Pastors' Furnishing
Fund, W. W. Hall, Treasurer.
The afternoon audience at K;d nipapa
was Composed of about 100 people.
They weje advised to do things which
make for peace. The difficulty just now
is over the management of the Y. M. C.
A. building. The pastor has a rather
vigorous body of people to manage.
Hut he is a man of deliberation and of
firmness, with a certain capacity for
leadership, and it is expected that he
will, in time, be able to harmonize the
diverse interests. He is supported in
his work by the Hawaiian Hoard, and
has been recognized by the Maui and
Molokai presbytery as the pastor m
charge. The Y. M. C. A., which works
with him, is an organization of about .Ml
members.
Through with the exercises at the
church, there was hardly time left for
the usual visit to the Bishop Home,
which is well kept by the "Sisters."
Surely the leper settlement is no mean
parish, There is field and scope in it
for a man of large ambitions.
As we bade the pastor good bye we
felt that many a Hawaiian minister, in
his insensibility to the leprous taint,
might feel that the Rev. Kealoha is to be
envied, for is he not sure, as each quarter comes around, of getting his stipend,
and are not his people, all of them, well
housed and fed? —which cannot be raid
of every pastor in the field.
Hut the great and ever present
thought at' the leper settlement is that
of the call to be helpful. The pastorate

visitors, who commonly have to spend
part of a night on the summit of the
mountain, have been obliged to sleep on
the rocks, in the open air. Xow, by the
enterprise of young Mr. C. W. Dickey
of Haiku, a commodious little house has
been put up at a cost of six hundred
dollars, subscribed by the Maui icsidents.
It is built of stone, with an iron roof.
It is furnished with 16 canvas cots,
tables, stove and utensils and table ware.
There are horse slutls, also a capacious
cistern. The bouse will be kept securelylocked. Any respectable person can

The Rainy Season.
The protracted drought prevailing lor
over six months on all the islands, has
yielded to copious rains. Honolulu, which
had received for more than six months
an average of less than three-tenths
of an inch of rain per week has just enjoyed nearly nine inches in sixteen days.
The country is again clothed in green.
We had similar rains at the same time

weeks, then again abundant rains
