Be Watchful.
The Annual Meetings sofull of interest,
are over. The Morning Star has gone
upon her great gospel errands. Our
schools are closed or closing for their
summer vacation. A general time of
vacation is beginning ofrelaxation from
the more arduous labors of the year.
But work is not to stop. Nor is vigilance to relax against all the various
forms in which danger threatens body
and soul. Mothers will go on, guarding
by day and night their babes against the
maladies of summer as they have done
against those of thi cooler and damper
season. And so while Churches and
Christians may not for these few weeks
combine in active organized aggressive
work, it behooves us all to remain vigilantly on guard against the never resting
attacks of the Adversary of souls, both
for our own safety, and for that of
others. We need to keep our souls full
and warm with the spirit of the Lord
Jesus, that heavenly influence may spontaneously emanate from us. This will
not impair our recreation or diminish the
enjoyment we experience. Far more
invigorating and wholesome will be the

Rev. D. P. Birnie Installed.
On Wednesday evening, June ftth, in
Central Union Church, were held the
services of Installation of the Rev. Doug
las Putnam Biinie as the Pastor of that
church. A congregation of about three
hundred persons was present, including
a large number of Hawaiian pastors and
delegates. The services opened by the
reading of the minutes of the Council as
follows:
"The Council assembled at .'1 p. m.
June ftth, 1895, in the Lecture Room of
Central Union Church.
The Rev. Hiram Bingham. D.D., read

NUMUKR 7.
Mr. W. W. Hall, clerk of the church,
read the vote of the church to call the
Rev. D. P. Biinie as their pastor.
Hon. A. P. Judd read the call of the
church sent to Mi. Birnie to become
their pastor.
Mr. Hall read the reply of Mr. Birnie,
dated Jan. ill, 1*95, accepting the call.
These papers relating to the call were
accepted by the council as satisfactory.
The Rev. Douglas P. Biinie then presented his testimonials, which were read
by the scribe, viz:
The resolution of the church in Allston, Massachusetts, highly commending
his record as their pastor; also
The minutes of the Council approving
of his dismissal from that pastorate in
order to become a pastor in Honolulu.
Mr. Birnie's testimonials were approved by tho council, which then proceeded
to the personal examination of the pastor
elect, as to his theological opinions and
religious experience. He read as his
creed the creed adopted by the National
Council of 188:1. Various questions
were asked and answered.
Mr. Birnie's statements were accepted
by the council as satisfactory. The
action of the Central Union Church in
calling him to be iheir pastor, was approved, and it was voted to proceed in
the evening at 7:30 p. m. with ihe services
of installation.
The minutes of the council were read
and approved; and the council was
ordered to be dissolved at the close of
the services of installation.

Geography—Our general field is the
Central Caroline Islands, comprising the
Ruk lagoon, the Mortlock group, and
other islands scattered about between
and west of these. The name tstoll is
given to the islands here which consist
of a ring of coral reef surrounding a
lagoon, with islands here and there on
the reef and also in the lagoon.
Ruk—has a large lagoon with a mean
diameter of 2ft miles, in which theie are
about twenty high islands. The mission
station is on Ucla, a beautiful, high isl
and probably 15 miles in circumference,
with a diversified surface of high hills
and numerous brooklets, covered with a
thick growth of tall grass and weeds and
in some places with woods. It is situated near the western side of the reef in
lat. 7° 26' N. and long. 150° 02' E., and
has a population of 1000, native estimate.
The American Board has about 30 acres
of land on the western side of the island,
two good dwelling-houses, a modest
though very pretty seminary building for
the girls' school, a cottage, a building
for the boys' school, and a few other
smaller buildings for mission use. The
location, selected by Mr. Logan, is a fine
one, perhaps could not be bettered, for
although it is not in the central part of
the lagoon, it is near the north passage
and thus convenient for outside work,
and near enough to the other islands oi
the lagoon.
The Mortlock Group consists of
three atollsand seven islets. The largest,
Lukunor, is in lat. 5° 21' N. and long.
153° 28' E., and is 170 miles south east
of Uela. All the islands of the Mortlock
groups are on the reefs and low, rising
only a few feet above the level of the sea,
and some of thtm are swept over by the
sea when running very high. The following table will show the situation of
each island and its population.

153° 2b' E., population, Btt. Oniop,
21'
atoll of Losap in lat. 6° 54' N. and long.
152° 43' E., is sixty-five miles north west
of Namaluk, and comprises two inhabit
ed islands, Losap with 300 people, and
Peace with 200 people, and a number of
uninhabited islets; and 14 miles farther
on in the same direction is Namo, in
lat. 7" N. and long. 152" 33* E., a low
island in the midst of the sea without a
lagoon, a product of some freak, one
must suppose, of the builders, which
must have separated from their fellows
long before the flood. It is a small isl
and with a population of 34M, and is 40
miles from the southern |>assage in the
reef ol the Ruk lagoon. Thus we have
the Mortlock group with a population ol
3.300, the lour adjacent islands, populalation 1,1(10. and the Ruk lagoon with
15,0 (lor fi,00,1 people, making a total
I
of more than 30 islands, and 20,000
people. There are still other islands
lying to the west of us, but as I have not
visited them I will not speak of them in
detail now.
Products.—The products of these
islands, though abundant, are limited
The

is a very wholesome food,
which grows on large trees, is prepared
for eating by roasting or cooking on
stones, and is the staple article of food.
It is gathered during the harvest and put
into underground cellars or pits and kept
through the year. The coconut, also
abundant and widely scattered, is the
principal article of commerce,and is also
used for food. The milk is very delicious
if the nut is gathered before it is too ripe,
and is about the only thing we drink
when we visit the low lands.
The taro, resembling our potato, is
also a wholesome food; unlike the breadfruit and coconut, it must be planted in
carefully prepared beds.
Then there is the pandanus, unimpor
t "'• aa food, and bananas in Ruk and
some of the low islands.
Manufactures.
In the Mortlock
Islands they manufacture a very good
cord and rope from the coconut husk,
and a kind of cloth made from the fibre
of a species of hibiscus. In Ruk they
do not make the cord ; but they weave
the cloth and they prepare a kind of paint
for the body which is used in the dance,
by warriors going to battle, and by dudes
and belles generally, and is sold extentensively in the islands. They also make
rude wooden dishes, and various kinds
of ornaments for the head, belts made of
shells and beads, hoes, and adzes out of
the bone of the turtle's back. The only
musical instrument is a nose flute which
is limply a long hollow reed, and the
performer, blowing into one end with his
nose, and using his fingers on the other
end, is able to obtain considerable variety

land and has a population of 300. The homes light and airy, but in the Mort-
(July, 1895.
locks the eaves of the roof are set on the
ground; the gables are boarded or thatched up ; only a very small hole is left for
ingress and egress, and the houses are
very dark and dismal inside, besides
being close and unhealthy. The people
seem to abhor privacy. Several families
will often be found in one room, with no
partitions or screens between them, the
place of each family being marked by
their mats which are spread on the
ground. Great evils of course arise from
this custom, and the social probltm is
made very difficult of solution where
people live together so promiscuously.
The cooking is usually done in an outbuilding, in Ruk by the men, but in the
Mortlocks by the women.
Dress.—The native dress is a loincloth for the men, and a short skirt for
the women. Since the coining of the
missionaries, the men and w men have
begun to wear a long shoulder garment
which greatly improves their appearance,
and the teachers and some ol the Chris
tians put on our full dress. The climate
being warm, the people take clothing
reluctantly ; but there is a growing sentiment among Christians in favor of wear
ing our clothing. Sometimes they get
very curious combinations. For instance,
the deacon of the church at Losap, had
on an old faded pair of blue denim pants,
a long dirty shirt which he wore outside
his pants, and ovei this a little white
duck jacket. A woman who had been
approved to come into the church at
Etal, had no shoulder garment on, and
I told the teacher that he must tell her
that it would not do for her to stand up
without a shoulder garment. She was
equal to the emergency,and when 1 called
her name she came forward with a heavy
coverlet wrapped about her shoulders.
The poor thing nearly melted before we
got through with the service, but she
endured it bravely.
Marriage.— Marriage is recognized
but the tie is very loose. It is very
common for one party to desert the other
fora trivial cause and remarry .and among
the heathen there is very little social
restraint. The people are usually kind,
well-disposed and little given to committing depredations.
Appearance.—In appearance they are
not disagreeable; the face is round, broad
across the cheeks and tapering toward
the top. They are narrow across the
cranium, although there are exceptions
to this; the brain is not largely developed.
In this respect they differ strikingly
from the Chinese.
Religious Beliefs.—They believe
that there is one divine being whom they
call Anulap, the great Spirit, who dwells
in the highest heavens apart from all
other beings, surrounded by his own
majesty and glory. He has little to do
with the affairs of men, and is mainly
concerned with himself and lost in selfcontemplation. With him, however,
there dwell two lesser though very great
divinities—one good and the other bad.

waiian Gazette of June 14th.
The Hiram Bingham.—Capt. Walkup.
Rev. A. C W.tlkup has just paid Honolulu another visit with his little gasoline schooner. He arrived June sth, and
sailed the 17th for the Gilbert Islands,
having visited San Francisco for repairs
to boat and machinery after two or three
years cruising. On his voyage up, made
as usual in higher latitude for the sake
of better wind, he encountered one severe
gale, in which his little craft nearly
foundered. Mr. Walkup takes back two
white helpers sent by an Independent
Missionary' Society at Los AngelesMessrs, dc la Porte and Anderson. He
hopes to find their aid serviceable in resisting the aggressions of the Catholic
priests, who do not scruple forcibly to
occupy native Protestant Church premi
ses, and whom the native catechists and
pastors are too timid to resist.
The Hiram Bingham has done grand
service in giving Mr. Walkup a thorough
and active superintendence of the whole
field.
Central Union Sunday School Picnic.
This was held on Kamehameha Day,
in the pleasant grounds of Oahu College. About 1200 people were present,
including the Portuguese Sunday
schools. Free transportation was provided per tramcar from the church steps.
The children began going out at 8 a.m.,
and the last came in at 4 p m. Arrangements for comfort and pleasure were
most successful. Games in great variety were constantly in progress. Besides the light soft shade of the algaroba
trees, there was a large tent. Refreshments were served from I I to 2. The
supplies comprised 1500 bottles of soda
water and ginger ale, 110 gallons of
lemonade and ice water, 15 gallons of
milk for the coffee, I calf, 60 tongues, 8
hams, 90 quarts of baked beans, 25
large bowls of salad, 10) loaves of cake,
an unlimited number of rolls and loaves
of bread, sandwiches and 100 watermelons. The provisions were of the
choicest quality, and were served on
1200 wooden plates.
All this furnished a strong counterattraction to withdraw the young from
the horse races at the Park, with their
demoralizing influences.
Honolulu has just enjoyed the rare
experience of a tour dc force of thought
and oratory, such as is given by the
famous Christian philosopher and lecturer, Joseph Cook, L.L.D., on Thursday
evening last, June 27th. Dr. Cook spoke
for two solid hours, with his well-known
unremitting energy and intensity, in the
Y. M. C. A. hall, to an audience of over
200 people. He gave his lecture upon
"The Seven Modern Wonders." It was
a boon to have our souls so uplifted in
theperception and thought of the wonders
of God's working in this marvellous age
of the now changing and renovating
world. Dr. Cook is a giant athlete in
oratory, and a brilliant discourse!' on a
thousand topics. He is also a broad and
penetrating thinker, with great spiiitual
discernment and uplift. We are highlyprivileged to have with us for a few
days this mighty champion of Christian
thought.
Dr. Cook is to be the orator of the
Fourth of July exercises. He expects to
sail on that day for Australia, proceeding
thence to Japan and China for next
winter. He wishes to visit the aren* of
war, while it is recent.

Mr. William R. Castle has been commissioned by this Government as Hawaiian Minister to Washington.
He
expects to leave in August.
A strong opposition was organized to
prevent the confirmation of Mr. Castle
by the Senate, which (ailed of success.
No reasons were publicly specified. He
was strongly supported. The native
element favored him, as being sympathetic with them.
Mr. Castle was second Commissioner

C. C. Moreno Frothing.
He tells the emperor of Japan that his
subjects here are under plantation overseers whom he thus describes :
"Most of them are hoodlums from the
Barbary coast in San Francisco, who
are armed with all kinds of arms like
brigands and all of them are members of
the missionary confraternity uf Honolulu, which is lor Hawaii's calamity
worse than leprosy or cholera morbus."
In his next spasm he says:
"All missionary sons in Hawaii are
modern torquemados, vandals, an.una
ses, vampires, tyrants, greedy malefactors and not honest republicans."
Moreno was the Italian vagabond

1880, and who remained in office three

The Morning Star sailed on her 13th
voyage lot Micronesia. June -'7th, at Ml

Pingelap, Molr.il, Ponape, Ngatic, Kuk.
Pltini Kuk a direct return will he made
The next round will be
through ihe Marehall Islands, which it
is expected, will occupy about sixty tour
days. The tour of the Gilbert Islands
will then be made. Sixty days arc alloted
for it. There will be a general Beating
of the mission this year. It will probably
be held at the island of Nonouti. After
the tour through the llilbeit Islands the
Star will go to Kuk and make the round
of the Moitlocks, after which the course
will be set for Honolulu, and her arrival
may be looked for about the tit li ol May,
to Kusaie.

The Rev. E. M. Pease, M.D., went as
a passenger on the Star. He takes the
trip under insttuctions from the American
Boaid. Dr. l'case has for many years
been in charge of the Marshall I raining

several years to the work of translating
the Oltl Testament into the language of
the Marshall Islanders, the book ol
Genesis being the only part of the Old
Testament which they now have, hut
this work is deferred for a time, to be
resumed, as it is hoped, in the Ititure.
Mrs. lease remains at Claremont with

because of the death of his wife, is to return to these islands.
Mr. Mitchell is a native of the island

Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association.
The general association of the Hawaiian Evangelical churches began its
annual meeting in Kaumakapili church
at 10 a.m., June 10th. There was a
very general attendance of the pastors
and delegates, only five pastors failing
to be present.
Rev. E. S. Timoteo was chosen mod
erator, and Rev. J. Davis scribe. The
morning and afternoon sessions were
devoted to reading the statistical reports
of the 56 native Hawaiian chinches,
and to the official reports ol the pro

tired on account ol age and infirmity.
The Hawaiian Board have adopted the
recommendation of the Association to
send Mr. Mitchell, and he sailed on the
Morning Star with Ins family. Mr.
Mitchell is a native ol Mauritius, a man
of imich intelligence, and a line musician.
He is better adapted than a
Polynesian for resisting the coercive
methods of proselyting adopted by the
French priests, whose language he
speaks. Mrs. Mitchell was born in the
Gilbert Islands, being a daughter of
Rev. D. B. Mahoe, a veteran Hawaiian
missionary, who lost the use ol his right
arm by a bullet through the shoulder
from a Tarawan savage at Apaiang.
The question of increasing .the contributions of the churches to the treasury
of the Hawaiian Board was discussed.
Much intelligent interest was shown in
the subject.
At the next session, on the 12th, addresses of Christian greeting were made
by Pastor Birnie. ot the Central Union
church, and Miss Chamberlain, their
delegate ; also by Rev. (). H. Gulick
respecting work among Japanese, and
by Rev. A. Y. Soares concerning the
Portuguese work. An impromptu con
tribution of 81.V.M) was made to the
fund for Mr. Soares' new church.
Reports were made about Kawaiahao
Seminary by Rev. Dr. Bingham ; re
specting the Kamehameha School by
Rev Dr. Hyde ; and concerning the
North Pacific Institute, by Dr. Hyde
and his associate instructor, Rev. John
Leadingham, who has added to his
labors the instruction of two Portuguese
students, who have begun a course of
study lo qualify themselves for pastoral
work among their own people. Pastors
were urged to seek out young men for
the course of study at the Insiitute.
On Thursday, the 13th, the first hour
was devoted to fraternal greetings from
various representatives of Christian
work. Rev. S. Sugiyatna spoke for the
Japanese work at Hilo. Rev. H. W.
Peck spoke for the M. K. Church,
claiming inheritance in the work of the
missionary fathers. Rev. C. W Hill,
of Hilo, spoke in behalf of the California
churches, from which he came last year,
also of his love for his colleague at
Hilo, Rev. S. L. Desha of the native
church, who was interpreting lor him
Rev. A. C. Walkup gave the greetings
of the Gilbert Island churches. Rev. F.
W. Damon, superintendent of the Chin
ese Mission, made a stir: ing address.
He has lately been singing, pray ing and
exhorting on Hotel street, with Hawaii
ans meeting together wilh Chinese.
The President of the Hawaiian Boaid,
Chid Justice Judd, urged on the
churches fidelity to intelligent, united
anil persistent work for the Lord Jesus.
The regular order of the day was
taken up, and Mr. W. W. Hall read his
report as Treasurer of the Hawaiian
Board. Receipts were |51,H69.61, and

Rev. O. P. Emerson, corresponding
secretary, read the Hawaiian version of
the annual report, as approved by the
Hawaiian Board, occupying an hour
and a half in the leading. No brief ab
stract can do justice to the great interest
of its multiplicity of topics.
Dr Hyde read his annual report of
the North Pacific Institute.
The election of secretary, treasurer,
and a new class of members of the Hawaiian Board was then held.
There was considerable discussion of
the relations between the Board and the
churches. The Board was asked, byresolution, to investigate the whole subject of ptoperty held. by. the Hawaiian
churches.
occupied with
Friday forenoon
the examination of the students of the
N. P. If. Institute in general introduction to the New Testament, English
composition and church history.
Various topics were discussed by the
Association in the afternoon. Reports
of committees were read and discussed.
It was recommended to limit the number
of deacons in a single church to nine as
a maximum.
Kaumakapili has had
thirty three, promoting dissensions. The
Island Associations were recommended
to insist upon strictness in giving letters
of dismission to members changing
their residence.
A special vote of thanks was passed
to Mr. S. N. Castle and family for their
gift of $25,000 to the permanent funds
of the Hawaiian Board ; also to Hon.
C. R. Bishop for a like donation of
$10,00(1 the previous year.
A special minute was entered on the
records in recognition of God's wonderful providences in the history of Christian work in these Islands for the past
seventy five years.
The closing session on Monday morning was devoted lo miscellaneous topics.
A committee was appointed to urge
upon the Legislature, just assembled, a
lessening of the illegal traffic in liquor.
A discussion was had on tbe difficulties
in enforcing laws against illegal cohabitation. A committee was appointed to
confer with the Attorney General about
a law to permit divorce and re marriage
in the case ol lepers sent to Kalaupapa,
where more than thirty couples are now
living together illegally, being permanently separated from their legal conwas
sorts.
A circular letter was read from the
Conference of Missionary Societies in
the United States, to the churches in
various mission fields, established by
American missionaries, exhorting them
to reach the point of self support as soon
as possible. A committee was appointed to reply to this letter; also to send a
special letter to the Hawaiian churches,
suggesting new methods of church
activity, and asking such increase of
their contributions as to provide for the
whole expense of tbe Marquesas and
Gilbert Islands missions, amounting to
$2,000, of which the Hawaiian churches
now pay only (1,600,
The Association adjourned to the first
Tuesday in June, 1896. The afternoon
was spent in visiting the Kamehameha
schools and the Bishop Museum.
