Its walls are ol poles about the size of one's wrist; the roof is of thatch ; the floor, doors nnd windows were imported. It is supplied with wall maps and globe. The view from this is vastly different from the first. Upon the one side lies the mighty deep, with its ever restless waves dashing upon the reef, breaking in beautiful foimy spray with constant music. Upon the oiher, rises the mountains, thickly woodpd to their summits. In a cluster stand two neat board houses for the missionaries and eight or ten native houses for the pupils Not less difference do we find when we look withio ; seated upon benches, or the floor, are thirty or more, dart-skinned children of the tropics.

Strong's Island, or Kusaie. An American Missionary in New Zealand. A very pleasant meeting was held at the Congregational Church Beiesfort st., Auckland. N. Z , on the evening of January 27th. The objects of the meeting were of a varied and 'inusual character, viz : to welcome the pastor, Key. J Kobenson M. A., and his wife on their return from their summer holidy in Australia ; to welcome Rev. J. T. W. Davies M. A., the former pastor, who, after an absence of five years, was visiting his friends in the scene of his earlier labors; and to say " good bye " to Rev. R W. Logan and Mrs. Logan of the A. B. C. F. M., who hod been ordered away from Micronesia FRI X M» . MARCH, 1882. on account of Mr. Logan's very serious illness, and who had been spending a few months in Auckland, where they had made many friends, and where Mr. Logan"s health had been to a very great extent restored. Tea was served in the Hall adjoining the Church, and a large number partook of the good things provided. After tea an adjournment was made to the Church, where a very pleasant evening was spent. Capt. Dilley, the Senior Deacon, took the chair, until he had given, in the Church's name, a very hearty welcome to the pastor and his wife, when he resigned it to Mr. Robertson. A cordial welcome was then given to Mr. Davies, who delivered a short address. Mr. Robertson then said, that a few months ago some strangers had arrived in Auckland seeking health, who were no strangers now. vlr. and Mrs. Logan had been only a short time amongst them, but they had been long eno"gh to cause them to think of them with esteem and appreciation, and though they knew the visit was only to be short and were glad Mr. Logan's health was so far restored as to permit him to start for his home in America, yet they felt sorry to be called upon to say good bye, They did so, however, praying Uod's guidance and blessing for them, a safe passage and a happy meeting with friends at home. Several friends spoke very cordially of Mr. Logan and his work, and expressed gladness at having had the pleasure of knowing him and Mrs. Logan. The address which met with the most enthusiastic reception was that of Mr. Firth, who thought friendly greetings should be conveyed by Mr. Login to the great Ameri can people. He trusted the two English speaking nations would always be knit together in love, and that the friendly feelings existing between them would deepen and widen until at last, all prejudice being broken down, they would be true comrades and brothers in every good work. Mr. Logan who was warmly received said, a few weeks ago he would have stood on that platform feeling an alien Now he felt as one of them. He had come to know and to love them. He desired to thank them for their kindness tn him and his, during his stay amongst them, and prayed that God would reward them for it. Before Mr. Logan w>s died on to speak, the pastor said he thought it would be in accord with the feeling of the meeting if some such resolution as the following were presented. He therefore read it, and asked them to expess their opinion by vote, when the resolution was unanimously carried. Resolved, That this Church nnd Congregation desires, prayerfully nnd affectionately to commend to the loving care of our Heavenly Father, our friends Key A. W. Log>n and Mrs. Logan and their children. While expressing great sympathy with them on account of Mr.Logan's illness, which seemed to drive them to these shores, we are glad that this has been overruled by God so as to give us the pleasure of knowing them, and we heartily rejoice that Mr. Logan's health We pray is so much better for the change. that a safe passage may be granted them to their home in America, that perfect health may be restored and that a long life of usefulness may be in store for them. •' This Church also desires to convey 27 THE through Mr. Logan its cordial greeting to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and to say that, while we sympathise with them on account of the interruption to Mr. Logan's work in Microneaia, we are glad to have had the opportunity of knowing him and Mrs. Logan, and that we have been very pleased to hear through him some account of the work the Board is doing for Christ in foreign lands. We pray that God's best and richest blessings may more and more abundantly attend all the operations of the Board.'' China lost what Africa gained. In rending the Life of Livingstone, by Dr. Bluikio, of Edinburgh, published in the Seaside Library, we met with an incident worthy of special notice. It appears, that the great African Explorer, had hia attention called to foreign Missions, by reading the German Missionary GutzlafF's Appeal to the churches of Britain and America in behalf of the 400,000,000 of China! "The claims of so many millions of his fellowmen and the complaints ofthe scarcity of well qualified missionaries," so impressed the mind of young Livingstone, at the age of about 21, that he was led to devote his life to the foreign missionary field. His design was, to have gone to China, but the Opium War seemed to interpose insuperable obstacles, about the time he was prepared to go to China as a Medical Missionary. What China lost Africa gained ! GiitzlafFs Appeal was not lost, but gained for the Dark Continent the great African Explorer and Missionary : " The Life of Livingstone," to which we now refer, can be purchased for twenty cents, and the amount of useful and entertaining reading to bo purchased for that small sum is quite remarkable ! We desire to recommend to the readers of the Fhiknd, but especially toali young christians, young men and young women, the reading of the lives of the early American and English Missionaries to India, China. South Seas, Africa,—we refer to those of Henry Martyn, Samuel J. Mills, Dr. and Mrs. Judson, Williams, (the Martyr of Etromanga), Ellis, and many others. There is no more healthy and useful reading for the young and old. A fact in the life of Samuel J. Mills, corresponds, to this in tr\e lile of Livingstone. Milln designed coming to the Hawaiian Islands, in 1816, with Obokiah, but the A. B. 0. F. M. delaying to send them out, lie turned his attention to Africa and went thither, in company with the Rev. Mr. Burgess. They selected iv 1818, the land for planting a colony of Freedmen on the western coast which eventually became the Republic of Liberia with its 1,500,000, inhabitants. �28 TII I!

It has often been asked, why ell them Young Men's Christian Associations, when they are often constituted of all classes, old and young ma c and female. The Association does not derive its name from those who constitute its working lorce, but rther from the objects of'ts search. As ■< graincutter is not called a gr..in-cutter be:;.use it is ninde of grain, hut because it is made to cut grain, so this organicit ion is cal'ed the Young Men's Christian Association because it is formed to benefit mid s ye youno men, ••the most import.nit, the most tempted, the most neglected and neglectful and the least cared for nnd guarded class of our population." This is so because of the positions they fill, the influences by which they are surrounded, and because of the neglect which they receive at ihe h nd? of the home, the Church and tne State. The object is a most worthy one ; for '■ save these, and your homes are saved, save these and your commerce is sanctified, save these, and your churches are strong, active and intelligent; i save these, and every work of mercy gains new power and extension; and the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our ; ' , Lord Chiist."

It is always pleasant to persons residing in any part of the world to introduce tourists and visitors to whatever is noteworthy and remarkable. Residents on the Hawaiian Islands, may not be able to conduct their visitors to old ruins such as are remarkable in Europe, Asia, or Atrica. but we can show u live volcano and accompany them over broad fields of lava still emitting steam and smoke; we can take them through tropical forests and under the shadow of stately ferns; we can invite them to gaze upon mountains, lofty and impressive such as Maunu Kea, Mauna Loannd Haleakala; we can accompany them to valleys like that of Waiiuku, which for beauty, and picturesque effect is without its equal in any part of the world. Although Island scenes and scenery are by no means new to us, yet we have enjoyed exceedingly our trip to Maui and Hawaii, in company with Mr. and Mis.

Oahu College has received, with the compliments of the author, a new book. The author is Dr. Henry N. Lyman of Chicago, formerly a pupil at Punahou, and now "Prof, of Physiology and Diseases of the Nervous System in Bush Medical College, Chicago 111., and Prof, ot Theory and Practice of Medicine, in the Woman's Medical College, Chicago, III." The book furnishes a very interesting and readable treatise on Anaesthetics. Between forty and fifty different methods of producing insensibility to pain, are described in this work j among which, the'administration of chloroform occupies a prominent place. One of the most suggestive chapters, is entitled " Death during the Inhalation of Chloroform." In reading this chapter, when we got as far as Case 393, we began to think we did not need any chloroform, and were disposed to omit the reading of the 17 additional More than twenty of the pages arc illustrated by drawings showing the tracings made by the sphygmo. gr*ph, in which the irregular and w.ivy lines correspond with the irregular and failing ction of the heart under the influence of different anaesthetics.

The glory will alwnys be hers of having first among Asiatic States, shown herself capable of marching in the forefront of civilization, almost abreast with the most advanced nations of the vunutod West."— Qtattrrly Review. " . The attention of the whole civilized world has been dr.iwn for the prist quarter of a century to the marvellous transformation which the interesting Empire of Japan has been undergoing1 A series of important volumes of travel, have enlightened, to a certain degree. the general re.ider, in reference to the nature of the changes which have been there wrought. Where there was so much to praise it is possible that some of these writers, carried away by their enthusiasm, have imparted a somewhat too roseate tinge to their descriptions of the progress of the nation, so that many have been led to believe that suddenly a " Golden Age hns dawned upon the Japanese, and that, in some magical way, the evils of long centuries of heathenism and despotism have been swept away, and that nothing more remains to be accomplished here. This is far from being the case, as any one can see, who even for a short time visits this ancient l-md. Still, that which has been accomplished here, cannot fail to fill the new comer with wonder end admiration, especially if he come from the coast of Asi*, where traditions and superstitions, relics of a hoary past, still rule with so tyrannical a sway. The seed of Western civilization and ideas, has been planted, and under favoring influences is springing up into vigorous life. Slowly, but we would truht surely, the leaven of Christianity is beginning to operate. That this best and mightiest of uplifting agencies may thoroughly permeate the empire, should be the earnest prayer of the Church. For, as Miss Bird Buys, at the close of her brilliantly written description of Japan. "The great hope for her is that she may grasp the truth and purity of primitve Christianity, as taught by the lips and life of our Lord Jesus Christ, as resolutely as she has grasped our arts and sciences; and that, in the reception of Christianity, with its true principles of manliness and national greatness, she may become, in " �FRIEND, Til 18 FEBRUARY, 1882. the highest sense, • The Land of the Biting after the moon came up, and softened and silvered its outlines, and we were told that Sun,' nnd the light of Easifrn Asia."

' Imperial Mint is situated here. .After a delightful hour or two on the train, passing through a beautiful farming region, devoted largely to rice, we arrived at the famous city of Kioto, the former capital of the Mikado, nnd the second city of Japan. Nowhere during my visit in this charming country did I feel that I was seeing something of old Japan so much as in Kioto. It is notone of the cities open to foreigners for the purposes of trade, ..nd is not so modernized or pervaded by foreign influences as Tokio, where the Emperor now resides. It is most beautifully situated in a spreading plain, surrounded by a picturesqne fringe of hills, and abounds in delightful gnrd ns and groves. The number of temples here is very grot and we were obliged to content ourselves with vis ting only the most important. Some of them are singularly impressive, being situated in the midst of solemn and nncient groves of stately evergreens, and many of theai are most admirably kept. The shrines and altars are sometimes, magnificently decorated with ihe most costly im iges and ornaments and vises in gold and silver, bronze and lacquer. Some of them are provided with huge bells of remarkably deep and mellow tone. The city contains about 300,000 itihnbitints, and is Uid out with broad streets at right angles. Most of the houses are low, the front nnd lower story being devoted to shops. The streets are full of end ess amusement to the stnnger. The running, shouting, half-naked jin-riki-sha men, the hurrying crowd of busy buyers and sellers the funny groups of children and babies, the occasional passing of some lady elegantly attired in silks and crapes, and looking for all the world, as if she had stepped out of some gorgeous Japanese fan or piinting; the shaven-headed Buddhist bonzes, the Deddlers and showmen and a thousund other different figures, make up ■ picture, at once str.mge and fascinating. We went once to the theater, where a pmtomiine was being given, the actors wearing magnificent costumes, but the music of the orchestra nearly drove us frantic. The people seemed however to enjoy it hugely. Kioto seemed always to be an fete. In the evenings the shops were brilliantly lighted nnd the most attactive wares were set out. Gayly painted lanterns were everywhere exhibited. The streets were thronged with a dense, but good natured crowd. You would never hive thought that they were ihe hardworking people that they really are. At one or two of the temples, during ihe time of our visit to this city, there seemed to be some great festival going forward. The grounds were splendidly illuminated and filled with crowds of people. Kioto was formerly the residence of the Emperor, or Mikado, while the military rulers of the country, the Tycoons, or Shoguns lived nt Yedo, now called Tokio. The palace of the Mikado, which we visited in Kioto is an immense one story structure, remarkable for nothing except its exquisite neatness. The shops of Kioto are most interesting, Some of the finest manufactures of the country are produced here. The bronzes are especially fine. Before returning to Kobe we made a short excursion to Lake Biwa, a beautiful body of water lying farther inland, which is one of the famous points" of interest in Japanese History and Mythology and Le- �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, gendary Lore.

It was amazing how a thousand doors were opened, and a thousand kind things done for me, because I was a Sandwich Islander. This was introduction enough, and I found it 'nvaluahleali the way from Scindannvia to the Levant,and so from Egypt homewards No where was this truer than in Japan, but now 1 ceased to be the chief luminary, and shone only with the reflected light of a statellite. All the Mikado's Empire, was, when I reachod the *• Land of the Rising Sun," la king about their recent royal visitor, our own King Kalakaua, who with his suite had left countless friends behind him. His visit been a hadinagnificent fete. Every body had enjoyed it and now they were all talking about it when I reached them, in a pleasant family way, these jolly, good-lium red, delightful Japanese. You would have thought it scarcely the time for another Smdwich Islander to put in his appearance, and he only a commoner, a poor Caucasian imitation of the real thing. But a Japanese is a born host and at the same time, the most inquisitive man in nil the world. So. my birth-right came in well again, lor was not I a subject of the good and great Kalakaui? Let me here tell you of a little episode in my visit, which does not fall In the pathway of every visitor, and which I never would have enjoyed had I not bena Sandwich Islander, and the subject of ihe only King who has had pluck and enterprise enough to tike a trip around the world, and to include Japan in his programme. Shortly after his departure, His Majesty made infinitely glad a number of Japanese gentlemen, by the bestowal upon them of Hawaiian Decorations These had just arrived, and the h'ppy possessors were anxious to give vent to their gratitude, ■• 1 came just in time, to let a little of it overflow on to me. It was decided that I should be honored with a grand dinner in the most approv ed Japanese style. This was given by a number of gentlemen connected with the Foreign Office and various officials from other offices and the Court and most delightful and interesti"g aff.ir it was. coming off just the evening before I left Tokio, the cap- • ital. A gentleman friend who was travelling with me. was also invited, and the Hawaiian Consul accompanied us. The ClubHouse where the dinner was given, is situated in the heart of the great, busy bustling capital of Japan, not far away from the magnificent tombs of the Tycoons or Shoguns, in the Shibi quarter of the city. The shadows of the soft mellow July evening were beginning to fall as we hastened through the streets, twinkling with thousauds of gaily tinted lanterns, in our jin-riki-shas the cabs of Japan. Every one who has been in Jap- �20 TII I an looks bark with delight to this method of conveyance. Imagine yourself placed in a magnified baby carriage, delightfully comfortable and cushioned, and drawn by a fleet long-winded, laughing Jap., with arms and legs muscularly grand enough to have served Michael Angelo as models. No fear of shying or kicking hor*es, or runaway teams. Your man is better than any thoroughbred. Two of them have taken me. in one day. nearly sixty miles, over a terrible road. But where could this be possible, except in countries where the human being, poor fellow, seems to be a drug in the market! Our "pull-man cars brought us very quickly to Shiba, and then a strong and steady pull up hill, and we were greeted with a blaze of hospitable light from the opened doors of the club. About the doors stood a throng of jin-riki-shas, and of laughing horses, 1 mean men. We were to have a large party. One of our hosts stood at the door to welcome us, and a throng of attendants were in waitingto take our hats nnd shoes. For when one is in Rome he must follow the habits and customs of the Romans. And here, on this exquisite, soft, cream-tinted matting, no one thinks of standing with his shoes on his feet, any more than on a bed of down. So we were led up through lines of smiling and bowing servants to the large hall above. This was a beautiful room, finished with all the refinement of Japanese art. and yet severely simple. Here the company were waiting to receive us, and the work of introduction began, in this land of Chesterfieldian etiquette, no slight undertaking. But first of all I was delighted to see one lady's countenance there, that of Mrs. Sannomiya, a charming English lady, married to a Japanese gentleman of high position, who with her husband I had known intimately, for years, in Berlin, where Mr. Snnnomiya was Charge d'Affaires of the " Japanese Legation. According to Japanese fashion we all sat down upon the beautiful floor, with Mrs. S. and myself in the place of honor, nnd the different gentlemen, arranged on either side in a semi circle. Then came a long line of pretty Japanese girls, exquisitely dressed in the national costume, than which, there is nothing daintier or more graceful in all the world, who first bowed themselves quite down to the floor, in the most reverent manner, and then placed before us the first FRIEND, FEBRUARY, the frieze of the dining hall, aud painted in to this charming country and its interesting loose luxuriant sprays on the fans which lay people, I launched out on the bosom of the about in profusion.

After a general meeting of the Gilbert Island teachers at Apaiaug, we sailed from there, narrowly escaping the reef iv consequence of a calm. Lauded the teachers again at Marakei ou the morning of August 4th aua anchored outside Butaritari same evening ; sailed from Butaritari to go through the group again ami return the teachers, August Bth, touching again at Peru, August 21st.

September 13, we anchored at Jaluit, passing the wreck of the "Storm Bird" as we went in. From there we shipped provisions and mail to the Hawaiian missiouuries at Mejiiro aud Aruo, and sailed ucxt day. Sep- : ; " : FEBRUARY, teinber 18th sighted Kili and Namerick Islands, and Kusiut: on the 21st. coming to anchor ou the 24th. after a long calm in which the vessel whs carried toward the island by a strong current, and only escaped destruction by her anchors taking ground and holding her stern about fifty feet from dangerous breakers. By the aid of a light breeze which soon sprung up we worked out to a safe distance from a position similar to that in which the last "Morning Star" was wrecked, upon this same island. There appeared bo little prospect of wiving her that all the lady passengers hud been started away from her in a boat. After remaining ten days at Kusaie laudiug a house and other cargo, and all the missionary passengers, we sailed, October sth, for the Caroline Islands. October 9th passed Pingelap; stopped at Mokil on the 10th, and anchored at l'onape on the 11th. Taking in Rev. E. T. Doane and native passengers, we sailed ou our return to Pingelap and Mokil October 15th. Spent the 18th of October standing off and on at Mokil, and tho 22nd at Pingelap. October 25th we hove to off Ponape and Mr. Doane went ashore iv the boat nud, leaving his scholars, came ou board again in the evening, when we sailed for Mortlocks and ltuk. We were in company all that doy with the schooner " Pannonia" bound for San Francisco, by which we sent a large mail. From October 13th to 31st both mates were laid up aud we were without officers. Arrived at Lukauor November 2nd ; Satoan 4th; Etal Bth; Namolonk oth and Losap 11th. In entering Losop lagoon against a head wind and tide we ran aground in a foot less water than the vessel was drawing, and remained there for over two hours, when the rising tide took us off with a damaged shoe. From the time of leaving Honolulu a leak iv the ship had been gradually increasing until we were pumping two hours or more a day. After the accident at Losap up to December 3rd, no more pumping was required. November 12th stopped at Nama and anchored in ltuk lagoon on the 13th. Visiting three different islands in that lagoon we sailed ou the return trip to the east. November 18th and arrived aguin at Ponape November 28th. December Ist we Hailed from Ponape for Kusaie, stopping at Mokil the third time, to land passengers, ou the 3rd. Ou tho. night ofDecember 3rd the old leak broke out again and continued to increase rapidly till the iHhinst., when we arrived at Kusaie with a tired crew aud ou uuseaworthy ship, making more than Aye feet of water in tweuty-four hours. Not having the menus of heaving down we discharged everything unbent Hails, sent down spars and at the highest tides hauled up into the mud at the mouth of a river to examine the bottom as far as poHKible. At the lowe=»t tide three huge places were found with broken copper, one above and two below. These planks were entirely riddled by worms, and a large leak discovered in the garboartlstrtuik. The leak above water we were able to repair ijuite thoroughly ; the two below we were obliged to trust to the work of the Hawaiian sailors who did their best to cover them with tarred duck and copper by diviug. Cousideriug the condition of the vessel it was thought best by all to make the attempt to reach Honolulu and have the vessel put in thorough repair before fluiHhing the work in the Marshall Inlands. Loadiug the vessel iv ballast trim we took ou board Itev. A. C. Walkup, wife and child for Apaiung via Honolulu, aud sailed for this port December 2tfth. We have sighted and passed islands fifty-six times ; made thirty-six stopping places ; entered fifteen lagoons ; anchored forty-six times ; besides lying to and standing off and ou one hundred aud fifteen hours, and had three huudred uud nineteen passengers. Calms and currents have been more favorable than usual, having had but four hundred and twenty-nine hours calm and three huudred and ninety-five miles adverse currents. The whole distance sailed ou the entire voyage is twelve thousand, three hundred and sixty-two miles.

The Editor visits Hawaii and Maui. Beautiful Homes, We have often met tourists visiting our Islands, when returning from a visit to Hawaii and Maui, who had a long chapter to rehearse of the unpleasant incidents of travel. They never would cease to repeat their discomforts, by sea and land-travel. Any little inconveniences incidental to a tour among the Islands we should deem unworthy of the slightest mention, when compared with the beauties of the natural scenery, but more especially ot the many beautiful and charming homes, into which it has been our privilege to enter. We have not forgotten the Missionary welcomes and entertainments of former years; but if some old missionhomes have been broken up. and the venerable occupants removed to the Home above, a few still remain in all their pristine beauty ! The Missionary children and others have created new homes, of the very loveliest type. We have recently enjoyed the privilege of being a guest in several of the abodes now existing on Hawaii and Maui. It would be invidious to particularize, but the pleasant home-pictures left on our mind by the brief so-journ in some of their nooks, are most delightful to recall. A well ordered Christian family is among the most beautiful of earthly pictures. A group of such families forms the best of communities, and forms the foundation of all that is most lovely in this world. There may be much of evil in our island community, but we have recently visited mnny homes of the best type where exists all that is pure and lovely. It is their existence which makes us hopeful for the future. They are the salt of the earth ! Blessings on them all. of Kilauea.—It is for so many have spoan old story to repeat, ken and written about it, from the days of Mr. Ellis to the present time. After Miss Bird's descriptiou, and the scientific notice by Mr. Brigham, and the touches of the brush and pencil by Mr. Furneaiix. little remains to be said by ordinary writers, but it still remains one of ihe most impressive and tearfully grand objects in nature. There is no other volcano on our globe which will compare with it for grandeur and magnitude, at the same time will allow the visitorto approach its brink and gaze far down into its fiery depths —at one moment smoldering and apparently quiet, but the next breaking up and rolling in fearful waves of molten U*a Mr. Lentz our host at the Volcano House told us •• you have only to wait and you wil see it break up."

Well, one must go and see for oneself. Although this wis our fifth visit, —the first in 1844, followed by others in '57, '02, '68 —yet we can truly remark, that like the Key. Mr, Coan, who is sometimes spoken of as the Bishop of Kilnuea. and was wont to make an annual visit, we should not be disinclined to go as often, for all visitors should come away, wiser and better for the solemn reflections thereby suggested. hiiving never seen any other mountain sceneery than that of Palestine.

A quiet Sabbath, with such surroundings, is surely »s much to be desired, as «mitl the columns and under the dome of St. Paul's or St Peter's, or in any of the world-renowned cathedrals or churches of the old or new world. It is well to gi forth in obedience to the s ggestion of Bryant in biaThanatopaia,and listen to the '• still voice :" 22 A Quiet Sabbath at the Volcano, For years we have desired to spend u quiet Sabbath ot the great Crater of Kilauea. Du- ring our recent visit to Hawaii, that wish has been fully gratified. Starting from Hilo Saturday morning, January 14th. after a horse-back walk of fourteen hours, our party reached the Volcano House at 11 o'clock P. M., riding during five hours through the mountain foiest without the light of the Moon, and with only the, light of the stars, and the lurid glare of the Volcano, reflected from the overhanging cUuds. Such a moonless ride through the forest with a lady companion, we did not anticipate, but ' all is well that ends well," and leaves something to talk about. Irving remarks, in his sketch book, that the traveller is always sure to be welcomed by the Hotel keeper, now mine host of the Volcano House, Mr. Lentz, forms no exception to ths remark. During our sojourn he was most attentive, and ever kept a generous fire in the open fire-place which was peculiarly welcome at the time of our arrival, when cold and chilled by the damp mountain night-air. . But we were speaking of the quiet Sabbath. The morning ws cool, Thermometer at ft4Q The air was most, bracing and invigorating, Mauna Lou and Maun-i Kea in full view, and mantled with snow, far down their rugged and lava-scarred slopes. Before us yawned that great, black, smoking steaming ch»sm. The sky was nearly cloudless, and the stillness seemed almost oppressive. Scarcely a breath of wind all day, and no mm. It is a good place for prolound reflection and meditation We havere-id books of science and sentiment upon the Volcano of Kilauea, but renlly the most suitable book to be read in the presence of such grand mountain scenery, and such fearful exhibitions of Divine power, is the Bible, but especially the Psalms of David. The marvel and wonder is how David could ever have given utterance to such sublime musings, :" ferth under the open Iky, and list "ToGoNature's IMChlDgl, white frOQ »ll around, Kurtli and lor Htill witters, Conies the..7,7/ ntice. an.l the depth! of air Mahukona.—The enterprise and push of Mr. Wilder has effectually changed this one rugged and rocky little port on Hawaii Such ledges and masses of rocks and lava would have daunted the zeil, and quenched the nrdor of most men, but .Mr. Wilder with an hundred chin imen, and a score of white laborers about ten months ago, made attick upon these rocks and ledges to put them in place for making a good Landing and Railroad Depot. We are sorry to lenrn, that after boring 805 feet, and expending $5,000. the effort to bore for fresh water at Mihukona has not been successful. We could wish the Government would cirry forward the enterprise a few hundred feet in addition for we think that Artesian wells should be made successful if possible. Already about seven miles of the R. R from Mahukona to Knhala, has been completed. The curs are running back and forward, several times each dav. The arnvil and departure of the trains impirt a life and animation to the scene. .Mr. Wilder hopes in a month or so. to run the train into Kohala. Words fail us to express the glid results which will follow to the planters and others living in that region, but especially to the poor horses which have been driven over those riij»ged hills ! Such enterprises area real blessing to the Kingdom. Would that more of them were started and encouraged by judicious an I liberal government ap- 1882. Mr. Kouse, Rev. James Alexander, and others are affording all the assistance in their power. The importance of affording encouragement to all such enterprises cannot be overestimated. They are the beginning of good things. It was reported that some 14 males, 3 females and 14 children, form the Christian party. A few of them come up from Spreckelsville. Let planters and others give all possible encouragement to these new gatherings, and good results will folKahului Railroad. Having, in former years, been conveyed in mule cart or on horseback, between East and West Maui, it was pleasant to be hurried at a rapid rate of speed on the new R. R.. Constructed by the enterprise and capital of Capt. Hobron. Some miles have already been completed, and additional miles are projected. Aside from the real convenience and saving to the Planters and others, this road is a boon to the patient ox horse, or mule. For the sike of the toiling beasts we hope other R. R. will be undertaken. On the plantations we are gratified to notice that the plantets are contriving new methods of transportation, which are labor-saving and money-saving, as well as releasing animals from their toils ! On Mr. Baldwin's plantation, fluming the cmc to the mill, is most sucessfully carried forward. On Hawaii this method has been long in use. a Oahu College Building Fund. From the recent entertiinment, initiated and carried forward by Mr. J. B. Castle and his sister, Miss C rrie Castle assisted by others the sum of $422 25 was realized, leivin"- a balmceof $308 75, after paying expenses. In our next issue we hope to report the exact amount of money on hand for buildinopurposes. Such efforts as this of Mr. Castle and his sister, are worthy of all pnise. • Kalani of Oahu.—Just as our paper was going to press, we noticed in Whitney and Robertson's Book Store, another book on the Islands, with the above title.

The Committee on revision of the Constitution presented its report which w*s accepted. The entire evening was spent in discussing whether or not church membership should be required for active membership. It wns finally decided in the affirm* tire.

In the absence of Mr. Atherton, the third member of the Committee, Dr. Whitney was chosen in his plaoe, and the Committee as to report at the next regular meeting.

The annual meeting of the Association will be held on the third Thursday in April, at which time reports from the retiring officers and the election of those who shall serve as officers for the ensuing year, and the appointment of the various Committees will be in order. From the address made by William E. Dodge, Jr., at the recent opening of the new Association building in Newark, N.

They are genpecially erous and easily reached for good, if we only take the trouble to do it. '• It is just here that the Young Men's Association is meant to step in and take the youth who stands exposed to the dangers of the conflict by the hand, and turn him by counter-attractions, toward that which is higher and better.

Here and there on the grey misty waters uncouth and awkward Chinese rose and sank with the swell. The iug* square siils, the high and gaily painted sterns, the ancient air about them recalled pictures of mediaeval ships as we sec them in the antique vellum cuts of huge folios of early travel. It was almost as if some stray galleys from an ancient Spanish squadron were waiting to offer us news of a great discovery. How wonderfully these trained and practised sailors manage their ungainly craft! The fleet treacherous wind sweeps down in wild gusts, fills the great yellow sails well nigh to bursting, and you almost close youreyes, thinking the swift prow of your steamer will cut relentlessly through these seemingly unwieldy arks thus thrown across its track. But these queer men of the sea have them in their control, and guide these dragon-sails in safety over the waters which are their home. As you have watched them in wonder, the dim land has grown into lofty mount tins, rising in bold and precipitous outline from the sea. The shores are here and there dotted with dwellings and now rounding one more point, and passing through a narrow entrance where the neighbouring islands approach nearly to each other, you find yourself facing one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It seems like the work of some great magician; only yesterday the wide, wide sea and the immeasurable arch of the sky, and now this rare and exquisite picture, with a thousand attractive details of form and color disclosed suddenly to the delighted and astonished gaze. Hong Kong, or as it is officially styled Victoria, is situated on a large island, near the mouth ofthe Pearl river; about ninety miles from the great city of Canton. It was ceded to the English by the Chinese, by the treaties of 1841 and 1842. It is a place of great commercial importance and its harbor is crowded with vessels of all nationalities. As we entered the harbor our steamer was surrounded by scores of Chinese boats called Sampans, filled with noisy Chinese, male and female, who were anxious to obtain passengers for the shore. We had brought up with us from Singapore hundreds of coolies, who were returning heme, and it reqired a regular fleet of boats to get them on land. At last, after much shouting and screaming from boat-men and boat-women, I was quietly seated in my Sampan, the queerest, quaintest boat imaginable and was soon at my hotel, which was situated near the water. It was in no thoughtless way that I spoke of Hong Kong as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was indeed a revelation of beauty for which I was scarcely prepared. The city is built for several miles along tbe shore, and runs back on to the tide of the mountain which looms abruptly above the harbor. The precipitous character of the coast at this point renders this necessary, and though in point of fact, i'unks FRIEND, JANUARY, 1882. this situtiaon must have its inconveniences the native quarter of the city.

One of the Chinese Christians in the name of the Church sent cordial greetings to their brethren on our Islands. CANTON. This large and populous city is one of the most interesting points to visit, in all the great Empire of China. It is easily reached by steamer from Hong Kong, and affords the stranger, whose time is limited, a remarkable opportunity of seeing many and characteristic phases of Chinese life and civilization. Even the exceedingly brief period which my programme of travel allowed me to allot to Southern China, gave me something of an insight into that strange and peculiar nutional life which has until recently been almost unknown to the outer world. The excursion up Pearl Kiver to this large metropolis is delightful. The steamers which ply daily between the two cities are immense river boats of American build, fitted up in the most comfortable and elegant manner. The breakfast and lunch which are served during the day, are bountiful and of the finest quality. Were it not for the peculiar character of the shores which are to be seen on either hand, the traveller might easily be led to believe that he was steaming over the waters of one of our great American' rivers. From the spacious and well-shaded deck of his steamer he looks off, however, on the rice-fields of China, and not upon the green banks bordering the Hudson. It is a view nevertheless, possessing a picturesque beauty of its own. Before him lies the broad surface of the river gleaming in the sunshine. This is bounded by low lying lands, which seem to be, as it were, a part of the river itself. Vast spreading fields of rice, of a tender delicate green, rise and fall in billowy grace as the wind sweeps over them Through them run long serpentine canals, like arms of the river, intersecting the country far and near, and furnishing outlet from, and inlet to, the inner country. Here and there a great brown sail rises like the wing of some huge water-fowl from these verdant rippling fields. Involuntarily my thoughts ran back to pleasant vacation days, spent with the Wendish peasantry in the heart of old Prussia, '-poling" my way over just such " liquid ways as these, and yet how far apart these places seemed, as if in different worlds ! Far away on the horizon were the dim outlines of hills, partly veiled by the blue, misty haze of the noon-time, suggesting still higher lands beyond. Now and then from more elevated points on the shore arose quaint and singularly picturesque pagodas, producing a striking and most agreeable effect in the otherwise somewha monotonous landscape. Tncy seemed to be of great antiquity and looked down upon us in patriarchal dignity. From one of them, by some odd trick of nature, a tree had grown and high up in the air, hung out its leafage as a banner against the sky. Along the shores there were few houses or habita- ' FRIEND, /..iVURV, tions to be seen. Before reaching Canton we passed some forts guarding the river. Once we stopped to leave some of our Chinese passengers, intrusting them to boats which pushed off from the land. In sharp contrast with the awkward old-fashioned river-craft, appeared a trim Chinese Gunboat which steamed past us down the river with the dragon flag floating above it. So pleasant was the day, and so comfortable our surroundings that we would willingly have been longer on the water. Early in the alternoon the great city was reached, and we found ourselves in the midst of a perfect flotilla of river boats, which so filled the water that it was far from easy to tell where the water ended and the land began. It would be difficult to conceive of two cities more different in external appearance than Hong Kong and Canton; the former clings to the side of a mountain, and seems as if suspended in mid air, while the latter lies on a level plain, along the river, and presents a far from interesting appearance to the new comer. It is not easy to describe this city, so that those who have never seen it will form any just idea of it. It is essentially different from the cities of other parts of the world. Its streets are mere lanes or covered thoroughfares. A large number of its inhabitants have no home on the land but form a floiting adjunct on the waters of the river. The heat was terrible during the few July days I spent in China. It seemed to me almost as opptessive as that which I had shortly before experienced in India. So that I was very glad to get away as soon as possible to my hotel, a queer sort of a place, on the bank of the river, where I could be shielded from the fierce glare of the sun. At last from the verandah, overhanging the river, I could at leisure, survey the scene before me. Here, truly, was China. It seemed as if there was scarcely room on river or shor for all the people, and that bye and bye this inventive people would discover some method of existing in the air. The broad surface of the river was fairly alive with boats, darting in all directions, and largely under the care of strong muscular looking women. These •' river peop'e " ure one of the most characteristic features of Canton. They are numbered by thousands. Their home from infancy to old age is upon these boats. They form as it were a city in itself. The men find work during the day upon the land, returning at night to their floating homes. How they manage to exist, it is difficult to see, but they appear to increase and flourish in their odd, contracted abodes. They are despised by the dwellers on the land, who regard themselves as vastly their superiors'; yet no class of people in China interested me so much as these almost amphibious "Tanka" people, as they are called. At night when a thousand twink. ling lamps are lit on the boats and along the shore, the effect produced is very pleasing. Though less beautiful, there is a certain similarity between this scene and that which the Grand Canal at Venice presents in the evening To venture out into Canton, without a guide, would be, for a stranger, a hopeless task. This vast city is one labyrinth of lanes, hordered by houses and shops, running in every direction, and any new-comer j 1882. 11 alone, would soon lose his way here. The best way is to procun a •' chair " and coolies and a guide, and then he will have a fine opportunity of v ewing the strange sights and scenes of this '* new world " at his ease. The population ofCanton h»s been set as high as one million, and this s ems probable when one has for a short time watched the busy crowds hurrying through the streets in an endless stream. So narrow are the thoroughfares that one seems to be passing for hours through the interior of some mammoth establishment, wherein endless succession wares of all varieties are exposed for sale, and where the manufacturers and producers of the same may be seen at their work. Many of the streets form long arcades, covered, and but dimly lighted. The tempered und mellow light, the brilliant gold and vermilion signs, with their quaint Chi nese lettering, the color and variety of goods offered for sale, and the odd faces and costumes of the buyers and sellers, all combine to form a picture at once strange and pleasing. For hours 1 journeyed through the city, stopping, now to enter some shop, or visit a temple, or inspect some public building. Here were shops where the most beautiful silke and crapes und embroidered goods, vases, counties articles, bearing the quaint finish of Chinese art. funs, carven boxes,artificial flowers, etc etc , were offired lor sale. Then came furniture establishments, where handsome chairs and sofas, of rich woods and variegated marbles were being manufactured. Now passed a marriage or funeral procession and we had to hurry away to let them pass. Sometimes the air was freighted with incense coming from a neighbouring temple or ancestral shrine. A thousand little incidents of'' interior " life were disclosed, for every thing seemed opened to the eye of the passer by. There were shouting and calling, laughing and scolding. What a singular Chinese Babel! My guide constantly commanded my admiration, he seemed to hold the " Ariadne thread " of this labyrinth and never went astray. He appeared to know just what I wanted to see and led me to it, without losing a moment's time. I have tried " guides " in a good many cities of the world, but this one of Canton bears off the palm. There are a large number of temples in this city, though the people are not 1 should judge very religious. Here you may see reminders of the three great religions or religious systems of China, Taoism, Confu danism. Buddhism. One of the most interesting pl.ces we visited was the great Jlouant Temple, founded in ltfOO, where there are about one hundred and fifty priests. The grounds are extensive, and I enjoyed especially the garden, where some fine specimens of Chinese horticultural art are to be seen. In this same garden the dead bodies of the Priests are cremated and their ashes preserved. The great temple seemed quite deseted when we visited it and the huge gilt figures of Buddha were certainly oblivious to our presence. There was a singular peaceful calm about the place and the only sound I heard was the rustling of the leaves in the old trees. It waa a pleasant change from the crowded, noisy lite of the streets. There is another singular Buddhist temple in the heart of the city, known �12 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1882. which when long worn must become the most a bit of southern Europe,—ladies with mancruel torture.

" Probably every one of the 75.000 Chinamen in California is a married man but has left his wife at home. It is clear to me. that they would not hesitate to bring them, firstly, if they could afford it secondly, if they felt secure of property and liberty."— South' em Workman August 1881. Thus wrote our Commissioner of Immigration. Mr. Armstrong, after leaving China, and on his arrival Ht Singapore, under date of May 10th. Now the Chinaman is secure of property and liberty on the Hawaiiiin Islands, but he is not able, in many instances, to bring his wife hither. What we advocate is that the Board of Immigration shall ndopt more wise judicious plans for bringing hither the wives of the thousands of Chinamen, resding on these islands. We believe it to be a feasible and common sense method of improving the population ofthis kingdom. Hawaiian Board and Chinese Work.

It is for individuals to act, labor, contribute, pray, then will the Board and Churches become efficient and aggressive. Never was there a season in the history of our island community when there was more encouragement to labor. The opening ofthe new year is a good opportunity for awakened zeal and renewed activity. �14 THE EDITOR'S TABLE. The Chinese, their Education Philosophy and Letters, by W. A. P. Martin, LL. D., President of the Tung Wen College, Peking. Harper and Brothers. N. V., 1881. The Religions of China, by James Legge, Professor of the Chinese Language, Oxford, England, C. Scribner's Sons, New York, 1881. The nuinberof new publications relating to China, which are now issuing from the press in England and America, are note-worthy events in the universal literature ofthe passing oge. If any one will glance over Trubner'B Month y Literary Record, he will learn that new books relnting to China are continually making their appearance. His Catalogue of Oriental and Linguistic Publications, now lies on our table, and we notice six written by the Rev. Dr. Edkins, a Scotish Missionary resident in Peking. Several, each by Dr. Legge, Chalmers, Douglass Giles and others. That nation, nnnerio so closely sealed up, is no>v ,-oming forth to assume a marked position, not only in the po- litical and commercial world, but also in hee literary world. We have perused with deep interest nnd profit the two works standing at the head of this article, and most cordially commend them to the readers of the e'un nh. Ur. Legge enjoys a world-wide reputation as a Scholar and Missionary, but now is Prolessor at Oxford, Englana, and we esteem it among the privileges of our late visit to England and America, that we were permitted to meet him at Oxford, and Dr. S. Wells Williams, in New Haven Ct. The Volume by Dr. Martin, contains a choice collection of essays and reviews, which have appeared during late years in North American Review, New Englander, and other publications. Some of the articles are written with great cure, and evince a rare scholarship and literary taste. If any one desires to cultivate an acquaintance with Chinese literature, scholarship and history, wo commend to their careful perusal the writings of Legge, Edkins, Martin. Douglass, Williams and others. Christmas Tree at the Chinese Church. Vesterday evening Young China bad a gala at the pretty new church on Fort Street. Prof. Frank W. Damon assisted by Miss Payson, and many kind Christian ladies, devised and constructed an elaborate Christmas tree. It presented a pyramidal mass of foliage, interspersed with stars, fruits, flowers, and bonbons; and with numerous wax lights was brilliantly illuminated. It was the wonder and delight of about sixty little Celestials assembled there, and for whose entertainment and instruction it was devised. And betides there were tables spread out JANUARY, FRIEND, with toys, bonbons, and Chinese oranges for good luck, with the name attached to a ticket surmounting a lot of gifts. Upon the walls were inscriptions in Chinese and EngOn lish—"Glory to God in the Highest; Earth, Peace and Goodwill to Men." There was a large and interested company of foreign ladies and gentlemen present, besides the Chinese parents and friends ; and the occasion was most interesting and impressive —impressive to any thoughtful mind, to observe the culture nnd Christian spirit of the Western civilization, thus planning and laboring with all the zeal of true love to harmonize in the spirit ofthe brotherhood of Christ with the multitudinous Eastern civilization. This is the true way. Not with treaties and guns, or guns and treaties—but with child-like love, taken hold of the children ; and by such acts «s this Christmas tree, eradicating race prejudice out of their hearts. There was song und prayer, and thechildren repeated the Lord's Prayer, and recited the story of the Birth of Christ, as related in the Gospel in the English and Chinese languages- Among the company that had assembled to witness this interesting occasion, H. R. H. Princess Liliuokalani, Honorables Mr. and Mrs. Bishop. Mrs. H. A. P. C»rter, His Honor Chief Justice Judd, Rev. Drs. Damon and Hyde, Rev. J. A.and Mrs. Cruzan. P. C. Advertiser, Dec. 24.

From not a few of these kind words of thanksgiving have been returned, like the following, from an English sailor, who thus writes from Portland, Oregon, under data of Nov. 4th last: About a month ago, you remember the barque Gltngaba coming to Honolulu. I am the nppreutioe that cam* to the Heading Boom, to whom you gave tracts; the Bible was brought up from the bottom of my cheat, and I began to think of olden times.' I shall ever bless God that took me to Honolulu." Mr. Dunscombo ia constantly receiving similar letters from seamen and lalwrerg, passing through Honolulu to the various plantations on the Islands. Scarcely a day passes that the keeper of the Home is not assisting some stranger newly arrived, onward to his future homo on other Islands or distant part of the world. Hence I am confident in asserting, that the Honolulu Sailors' Home, with its lodgings," Beading Boom," Bible and Tract Depository and other elements of moral good, is now accomplishing the grand object of its original design under the reign of Kamehameha 111, and which has been continued under his successors to the present time. The "Home" has been a centre from whence has emanated good to both the bodies and souls of hundreds and thousands. In the management of the establishment, it has been so carefully conducted, that since 1874, the public has not been called upon to contribute one dollar for its support. There has been a small balance in the treasury, at the end of each year as follows: $8.00 in 1874, $1.81 in 1875, $63.76 in 1870, $3.31 in 1877, $59.53 in 1878, $85.82 in 1879, and for 1880 and 1881 it will appear that the "Home" is still solvent. The time has oome when some important repairs are absolutely needed, and the main building needs repainting. It is to be hoped the Trustees at this annual meeting will take the necessary steps to carry out this measure. The Chairman of the Executive Committee in making this annual report, desires to express his acknowledgments to all patrons and supporters of this establishment, which he has endeavored most carefully to guard and watch over for more than a quarter of a century. I do not think, I could have more faithfully looked out for its welfare, or guarded its interest, if it had been ray own property from which I was deriving an annual income of substantial pecuniary support, or emolument. S. C. Damon, Chairman of Executive Committee. Honolulu, Deo. 23,1881. In place of the retiring trustees the following gentlemen were elected by ballot Id serve for a term of three years: E. O. Hall, S. C. Damon, J. C. Glade, B. P. Dillingham, H. Mhv, A. S. Cleghorn; to fill the vacancy caused by the death of J. G. Dickson, C. M. Cooke was dnly elected. After the adjournment of the meeting of the Sailors' Home Society, a meeting of the Board of Trustees was called to order by the President, 8. N. Castle. The minutes of the last meeting being read and approved, the election of officers of the Board by ballot, was proceeded with which resulted aa follows: S. N. Castle, President; C. B. Bishop, Treasurer; F. A. Sohaefer, Secretary; Executive Committee, Bey. S. C. Damon, E. O. Hall, P. C. Jones, Jr. The Trustees inspected the entire building and found the same well kept, but needingrepairs. It was therefore on motion carried that the Executive Committee be authorized to spend a sum not to exceed $300, for repairs and to devise ways and means for procuring the necessary funds. No doubt the community will respond to a call made on them for as useful an institution as the Sailors' Home has proved to be for a term of twenty-seven years.

Dr. Beckwith of San more than a quarter of a century ago, for the benefit of seamen. It in confidently asserted that Francisco. He is a graduate of Vale College, the original design of the Society and the "Home" has not been departed from, although other studied theology at New York Theological classes in the community have enjoyed its benefits.

THIS PAGE IS Edited by a Committee of the Y. H. C. A. The Association held its monthly meeting Lyceum on Thursday evening, Dec. 13th, Vice-President Thrum in the Chair. The attendance was good and indicated a growing interest in our work. Mr. Frank Damon gave a very encouraging report of the work among the Chinese. He is devoting much of his time to acquiring the language, having as teacher, a colporter employed by the Association. Upon recommendation of the Committee on Prayer Meetings it was unanimously voted to return to the old hour—Sabbath evening at 6:45 at the vestry of Fort Street Church. The Employment Committee has secured, as far as possible, situations for those who have applied. The Committee appointed at the last meeting have purchased a lot on the corner of Hotel and Alakea streets. They hope to begin the new building at an early date. The amount subscribed to date amounts to 812,986 and subscribers are requested to p»y in one-half of their subscriptions within the next thirty days. The Chairman of the Committee on Charter, Judge A. F. Judd, submitted a charter, which, with slight alterations as it was read section by section, was approved by the Society and will be brought before the Privy Council at its first meeting. The Committee on revision of the Constitution was prepared to report, but it was deemed expedient to hold a special meeting on Thursday evening, Dec. 29th, for its consideration. At the special meeting on Thursday evening Dec. 29th, a majority and minority report of the Committee on revision of the Constitution was presented. A lengthy discussion followed, and it being manifest that no decision could be reached in the matter, both reports were placed in the hands nf a new Committee consisting of Messrs. Pratt, Judd and Atherion, to revise and report at the meeting in January. at the that members of these opposite types of civilization should understnnd each other. We believe the method of intercourse should be based upon the principles of christian love. We could wish our readers hnd been present, n» we were, last Sabbath afternoon at the Chinese Church, and witnessed more than 100 Chinese taught by 40 and more ladies, gentlemen and children, the rudiments of the English language, and the simple principles of Christianity. The recitations, readings and sinking indicated progress in the right direction. We believe this is the proper method of solving the muchdiscussed and vexed Chinese quesfon. It is the way to avoid or overcome the sharp antagonism of race-prejudice, so alarmingly apparent in California. This method is precisely carrying out the principle, that General Armstrong is endeavoring to practice nnd develop upon a larger and broader scale in the United States between those of African, Indian and AngloSaxon origin. The Geueral has ever acknowledged that he acquired his first lessons in this grand undertaking while witnessing the labors of his f.ther and other Missionaries in their treatment of Hawaiians. Now the Chinese form another clement in the problem of races being worked out on the Hawaiian Islands. Hereafter we shall have more to offer upon this vital question in the harmonization of conflicting races and nationalities We would merely add, that this method, if successful, is to contribute most essentially to the upbuilding and supporting the Hawaiian Government in its rule over sa many nationalities, now seeking homes on these Islands of the sea. is the New Englander of the Pacific" "The Chinaman "In his energy and pluck.

Bible Society, in London, May 4, 18SI : " Who then can estimate the boon thatto isa conferred when a book like this is given country like China 7 No version of the Bible was ever printed that opens its treasures to so many people as the Chinese version. The literary style is understood all over ihe empire, and in every Chinese colony. Though the p ople of the different provinces cannot understand each other's speech, they can each other's writing. In this respect China has the advantage over India, where so many languages are einp'oyed. No other language can convey the word of life to so large a portion of the human race, Alexander conquered the world, but it could not understand his Greek- home laid her belt of 1,000 miles around the Mediterranean, but her empire was a Babel.

Happy the man and honored the society who put the all-regenerating Bible, the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets the Gospels, the Epistles, and the Apocalypse, into a language that can reach about eighty millions of homes, and four hundred millions of hearts. And what a people the Cninese are ! They are not Hottentots or savages wandering about red-ochred and tattooed, whose first sight of their printed language is in the Bible given to them by the missionary. Theyarean ancient and ingenious people, living under the most venerable government on earth, with a literature nearly as old as Moses— a people who had their poets, sages, and FRIEND, JANUARY. that fills its gospels ; let its narratives charm them, and pictured scenes delight their imagination ; attune their minds to the music of its psalms, and engage their fancy with it parables ; let its beatitudes nnd commandments control their life, its miracles nwe their wonder, and its cross excite their gratitude and win their trust, and what may not the Chinese become? What nation may they What limit can be put to their power and progress ? And among no people has the failure of every other system been so signal as among the Chinese. It might seem as if God had isolated them from the rest of the race for many centuries just to see whether human nature has in it any recuperative power, whether man apart from God —can devise any system, social, political, or moral, sufficient for the suppression of vice, the exaltation of virtue, and the promotion of happiness. And certainly they have not been wanting in expedients. They have had three great national systems in full operation two of them for twenty-live centuies nnd the other for twenty. These systems " occupy the three corners of a triangle—the moral, the metaphysical, and the material.'' They appeal to the three chief faculties of the soul, the wi'l, ihe sensibility, and the intellect; nnd they unite in ignoring God They have had ample facility for developing every possible potentiality they may have hud for elevating the people. They have had a wide field, length of days, freedom from outside interference—they have basked in the smiles ofthe government, and enjoyed wealth and patronage. They hnve had not rival? - — every possible advantage, and what is the result? It is an empire more corrupt and degraded than they found it.

Today those same countries are exerting themselves to repel the influx of the yellow race, while China is defending their right to foreign residence and good treatment. In nearly ull the courts of the civilized world there are representatives of China. Instead of being a feeble power tottering to ruin, and likely to fall a prey to any adventurer, she has shown her ability to crush out the most serious rebellions; and when a Western empire, taking advantage of a temporary wenkness, annexed one of her distant provinces, her diplomacy—which, indeed, has rarely failed her—enabled her to obtain its restoration. ltiste»d of being looked upon with contempt as a military power, as a country which a single regiment of skilled soldiers might overrun and hold in subjection, she has come to be considered as a factor not only in Asiatic, but in European, politics; and it woud seem that more than one ofthe most powerlul nations of Europe were now courting her as a possibla all v in some future momentous siruggle. Her long sea-coasts and rivers are buoyed and lighted; some of her coal-mines are being worked under the superintendence of foreign engineers; a short telegraph-line is in successful operation ; a company of nat've merchants own one of the largest fleets of steamers in the world : and nmny mill ons of the natives are clothed with the produce of foreign manufac- steimer Hcross the Pacific, * tures. " We need not pursue the comparison further ; for we have, we think, mentioned sufficient to show that China is progressing, that she occupies a very different position to-day to what she did only a few ye»rs ago, and that there are indications of still greater changes in the not distant future. That foreign improvements and inventions should not be adopted more readily is to many a matter of disappointment and vexation; but it should not be forgotten that national evolution is a slow process China has been (or some years, and is now, serving a kind of apprenticeship to true civilization, and the knowledge which she is acquiring in various ways she will one day npply to her advantage. The young Chinese who are being trained in foreign systems, whether at home or abroad, and who in time will fill official positioas; the thousands who emigrate to foreign countries and return to live in their fatherland : the increasing number of Chinese who are becoming familiar in China with Western modes oflife and government; in fact all ways by which East and West are virtually brought into closer contact, must cause the general, if gradual, adoption of Western ideas ; and the adoption of Western ideas means individual liberty, national safety, and increased comfort and prosperity."*'/(flw<7/fo« Courier. �rRI E | I*, IA \ 1 AX V . 1882. 3 THE Chinese Viceroy on Opium. The Secretary of the English Society for the Suppression of the Opium Trade has received a letter from the eminent Chinese official, Governor-General Li Hung-Chang. who is regarded by many as the ablest and most influential man in China, in which he says : "Opium is a subject in the discussion of which England and China can never meet on common ground. China views the whole queston from a moral stand-point; England from a fiscal. England would sustain a source of revenue in India, while China contends for the lives and prosperity of her people. The ruling motive with China is to repress opium by heavy taxation everywhere whereas with England the manifest object is to make opium cheaper, and thus increase and stimulate the demand in China. 1 may take the opportunity to assert here, once for all, that the single aim of my government in taxing opium will be, in the future. »sit has always been in the past, to repress the traffic—never the desire to gain revenue from such a source Having failed to kill a serpent, who would be so rash as to nurse it in his bosom ? If it be thought that China countenances the import for the revenue it brings, it should be known that my government will gladly cut offall such revenue in order to stop the import of opium. My sovereign has never desired his empire to thrive upon the lives or infirmities of his subjecis. * * * My government will take effective measures to enforce the laws against the cultivation of the poppy in China, and otherwise check the use of opium ; nnd / earnestly hope that your Society and all right-minded men of your .country will support the efforts China is now making to escape from, the thraldom of opium. I am. sir your obedient servant, Li Hung-Chang." To the renovation of the Chinese people, the'' most formidable obstacle is the use of opium, a vice ol recent growth, for the prev- alence of which they have to thank the unscrupulous cupidity of Christian nations. It undermines the physical system, impairs ihe mental faculties, and smites the moral nature with a kind of paralysis. It impoverishes the individual and the public, and hangs as a dead weight on the prosperity of the State. A litile cloud at the commencement of the present century, it has expanded with alarming rapidity, until it casts heavy shadows over the prospect of the future and on the hearts of the well-wishers of China. It threatens to sap the vigor of the Chinese race—a race that has seen the Egyptians and Assyrians laid in their graves, aud continued to our own day with unimpaired vitality, sending forth fresh swarms from the old hive to colonize the steppes of Tartary and the islands of the sea, and to compete with European immigration on our own Pacific coast."— The Chinese, by W. P. A. Mur- Testimony in Favor of the Chinese. The following paragraph appeared originally in the ''Springfield Kepublican :" "It is now more than 13 years since 1 first met the Chinese in their own country. I have had much to do with them during all this time in the capacity of a customs officer of the Chinese government, I have met them as officials, as merchints, as artisans, servants, and my knowledge of them in one instance has verified my experience of them in every instance. Ido not hesitate to say that they are pre-eminent among Asiatics for frugality, enterprise nnd indomitable energy. In his family the Chinaman is in his best element; he is passionately fond of his children, and the worship he pays his ancestors and the reverence he has for his parents are material out of which it is possible to make a good and loyal citizen. As servants they have no superiors. They are faithful and willing. But they are essentially colonist, and will make a home in any country where they are well treated. as Ernest T. Hollwill. The First Christian Chinese Martyr. Some years ago a Bible was given by a missionary to a literary man, a batchelor of arts, who looked into it from curiosity, but soon put it nside. Hearing some time afterwards of the progress the gospel was making, he was led to take up his book again, and such was the light that dawned upon his soul that he went to a native catechist for instruction. It cost him a struggle to break with the p,st, to let go all he had reverenced from childhood, to give up Confucius for Christ; but he did it. He sacrificed everything for Christ—wife, child, literary fame, money, and friends, and he is now the native principal of a theological college. Another man—a Confucian temple keeper, named Ch'e—at the city of Poklo, on the Canton East River, received the Scriptures from a colporteur of the London Mission, became convinced ol the folly of idolatry, and was biptized by Dr. Legge. He gave up his oiling, and set to work among his acquaintances and friends ns a self-appointed Scripture reader. He would go through the streets of the city and the country round with a board on his back containing 'some text of Scripture. So successful was he that in about three years' time about one hundred of the people were baptized. And so mightily grew the word of God and prevailed that surprise and hostility were excited, and a fierce persecution broke out. The Christians were driven from their villages, and their properly was plundered. Ch'e, the colporteur, was seized, and twice within rjrty-cight hours dragged before the Literati, and called upon to recant. This he steadfastly refused to do. He was therefore tortured by being suspended by the arms during the night. The next morning he was brought forward in an enfeebled state, pale nnd trembling, for a second trial. The officials and mandarins were cowed into submission by the gentry ; but this brave old man was still firm in his resolve to cleave to the Bible and Christ, and expressed a hope that his judges would some day embrace the new doctrine. This was more than they could tolerate, and, like the judges of Stephen, they ran upon him with one accord and killed him on the spot by repeated blows of their side arms, and threw him into the river. Thus perished the first Protestant Christian martyr of China.—Rev. S. White- head. Confluecf Confucius. We copy the following, from a Lecture of R. K. Douglas, Professor of King's College, London, on the Language and Literature of China : As has been well observed by Wells Willi ims, " If Confucius had transmitted to posterity such works as the Iliad, the Dc Of ficiis, or tho Diologues of Plato, he would no doubt have taken a higher rank among the commanding intellects ofthe world ; but it may be reasonably doubted whether his influence among his own countrymen would hive been as good or ns 'asting. The variety and minuteness of his instructions lor the nurture and education of children, the stress he lays upon fih'il duty, th* detail of etiquette and conduct he gives for the intercourse of all classes and ranks in society, characterize his writings from those of Ml philosophers in other countries, who, comparatively speaking, gave small thought to the educaton ofthe young. The Four Books" and the •• Five Classics" would not, as far as regards their intrinsic character in comparison with other productions, be considered anything more than curiosities in literature, for their antiquity and language, were it not for the incomparable influence they have exerted over so many millions of minds." ' "Every minister of Christ should seek to bring out of this spiritual torpor such of his people M have fallen into it. Let the plain truth be brought home to every conscience, pungently and repeatedly, that one cannot be Christ's and yet not be like him ; he cannot love the Savior's person and be indifferent to the coming of his kingdom. He who h»s no earnest wish and makes no self-sacrificing endeavor that the gospel of God's grace may be preached to ail men, lives in a different atmosphere from that which our Redeemer breathed. For, as David Livingstone said, " The spirit of Missions is the spirit of our Master; the very genius of his religion." How can one who has not this spirit regard himself as a disciple of Christ ?

The time has evidently come when the work of Chistianizing the Chinese population of these Islands must claim more than hitherto, the attention, activity, sympathy and generosity of Christ's people. What efforts have been made in this direction, have been hitherto mainly tentative and desultory. Since the year 1830 there have heen Chinamen on thse islands, at first, only straggling individuals scattered here and there. In 1852, the first Chinese laborers. 98 in number, were imported into the Hawaiian Islands, by the bark Thetis, from Amoy, arrived August 2, The continued diminution of the native population, and their inaptitude for the strain of continuous toil, as well as the need of a large number of laborers for larger enterprises than hud been previously undertaken, were the controlling retasons then as now, for opening these Islands to the countless millions of Chinese.

The board of Education, on application from Dr. Damon, granted in 1869, $200 annually, in aid of the school, increased in 1879, to $300. In January, 1880, the Board of Education engaged Miss Payson as an English teacher in the Chinese School, held in the lower room of the Chinese Church. The school was begun in September, 1880, by the Chineee Y. M. C. A., who s«nt to California for a Chinese teacher. He was not able to speak English, but taught the children to read Chinese. He retured to China, and another teacher was found in Honolulu. He teaches Chinese in the mornings, and in the afternoon Miss Paysou teaches English. The school opened with 17 scholars. There are now 39. Miss Payson was formerly connected with the Mission of the A. B. C. F. M. in Foochow, China. She came to Honolulu, through the kind agency of the American Board, who recommended her to usand paid her travelling expenses. Miss Payson has also an evening class of Chinese young men studying English. The Honolulu Y. M. C. A., by advice of Rev. Dr. Damon, took up Evangelistic work among the Chinese as a department ot their Christian work. A Sunday school for teaching English, and so affording an opportune to teach Christian truths, was opened in the vestry of Fort Street Church, the first Suuday afternoon in January, 1872. J. B. Atherton Esq., acted as Snperintendant, assisted by a corps of volunteer teachers, one for every two or three scholars. It was suspended during a greater part of 1880, but was resumed again in the Chinese Church in January, 1881. On the return of Mr. Frank Damon to the Islands, he has interested himself in this enterprise and secured additional teachers as well as a large increase in the number of scholars. It was through the efforts of the Y. M. C. A. that Sit Moon was secured to act as colporteur among the Chinese. He came from California at the recommendation of Dr. A. W. Loomis, and began his labors May 16, 1875. When Sit Moon returned to Chiua in 1878, to briug back a wife, his place was supplied by Sat Fan, who had been several years under the instruction of the Rhenish Mission, but had come to the Islands as a contract laborer. Through the agency of the Chinese Committee of the Y. M. C. A. Sat Tan was sent to Maui, to act as colporteur on that Isand; Wong E was sent to Hilo; and Ho Ah Pui to Kauai. None of these are now in this service, for good and sufficient reasons that need not now be detailed. Ho Ah Pui at present is engaged as the Y. M. C. A. colporteur for Honolulu and Oahu, and is proving also an excellent teacher of Chinese (Canton dialect) for Mr. Damon. The direct participation of the Hawaiian Board in the work of Chinese Evangelization has been mainly in appropriating from time to time special grants in aid, as individuals, or the Y. lit C. A. made application tor such aid from the Board. In 1869 the Board made a grant of $200 to the school established by S. P. Ahiong, and afterwards conducted by Mr. Dunscombe. For nearly two years, 1869, 1870, the Board employed S. P. Aheong, or Ahiona, as a colporteur among the Chinese on the various Islands, paying him an annual salary of $800. He was previously a storekeeper in Lithiiina, but had, under the teaching of Miss Mary Green, renounced heathenism, and taken up Christian life and duty. Rev. C. B. Andrews recommended him to the Board, and on receiving his appointment as the Board's colporteur, he gave up his business and devoted himself to the Evangelization of his countrymen. He left the Islands May 26, 1870, expecting to spend a year in China, and then return. But he never came back. He died in China, and his widow, a Hawaiian woman, returned in 1880, and now has her home again on Maui. The colporteurs on Maui and Kauai received each $100 annually from the Board, the Christian communities on those Islands paying the remainder of their salaries, $300 each annually. The foreigu Church, at Hilo, has supported a Chinese colporteur for two years. The Kohala and Pahala plantations have each a Chinese teacher and preacher, in their employ, enrolled on the books of the company and receiving regular month- 28 Chinese have united with tho Hawaiian Church in Kohala, on profession oftheir faith, during the last four years. ly wages. It is evident from this historical statement that the work of evangelizing the Chinese population of these Islands has not been neglected, yet neither has it been thoroughly systematized and as earnestly pushed as is practicable and desirable. The Chinese population has more than doubled in the last three years. The Honolulu Y. M. C. A. find their sympathies and efforts called out more in the direction of labor for the welfare of young men now coming in such numbers, to seek employment, and a home in these Islands. This Board has, by vote, several times placed on record the declaration of its readiness to do whatever is needful and expedient in caring for this large and important element ofour population. It was under the direction of the Advisory Committee appointed by this Board, Feb. 4, 1879, that the Chinese Church was organized. Repeated efforts have been made through correspondence with Dr. Happer, of Canton, and others, and by personal solicitation to secure some one competent to take chargo of this wid« and open field of Christian labor, but hitherto with no success. In the good Providence of God, just ut this juncture, we have lately welcomed home the son of one of our own members. Mr. F. W. Damon lies returned after five years' absence, to the land of his birth. He comes with all the high powers God bus given him, developed and perfected in the disciplineof school and court and travel, after years of the best culture that modern society can give. He comes ready to consecrate all to the service of the Divine Redeemer in laboring for the elevation and Christianization of the Chinese whom God's Providence has recently brought in such numbers to these Islands. This Board has invited him to take charge of this department of Christian work in behalf of our Churches and for the furtherance of Christ's Kingdom in this world, and he has consented to do so. It now only remains to take suitable action for the proper organization and maiutaiuance of this department. �6 THE Your Committee think it unwise to impose auy additional pecuniary obligation upon our enfeebled Hawaiian Churches. This Board was originally established for them inageutent of the Missionary work undertaken by Hawaiian Christians.

Tho foreign residents, that first gave one fifteenth, now give one fifth of the total amount. Yet it must be remembered also that there are at present many and pressing calls on the Christian liberality ofthis community. Oahu College needs at least $50,000 for proper enlargement. The Y. M. C. A. building fund has already secured subscriptions to the amount of $12,000, and will require $15,000, besides a large annual outlay. The Honolulu Library Association wishes to pit up a building as soon as $12,000 can be secured. As an indication of the readiness of the Chinese to welcome Christian effort for their enlightenment in Christian truth, it is worthy of mention that at the little Hawaiian Chapel in Palama, a suburb of Honolulu, twenty-four Chinamen came in to hear the Chinese colporteur pi each to them. There are sixty Chinese in the prion, and twenty in the hospital, who are regularly visited by the colporteur every Sunday. Nor must wo forget that while this work of Christianizing the Chinese resident on these Islands has grown into great importance, and is intimately connected with the future prosperity of tho Hawaiian Kingdom, the reflex influenco of our work here on the people of China, is also becoming a matter When there of great importance. bo direct and frequent inshall more tercourse betweeu Honolulu and Hong Kong, we shall hear even more frequently than we now do, of the influ- FRIEND.

That a special effort bo made to secure at least, $2,000 annually, to be spent under the direction of this Board, for this department of Christian Evangelization; that tho A. B. C. F. M. be asked to assist in th's work by a grant in aid, of $1,000 annually; and that at least $1,000 be raised among the foreign residents cooperating with this Board; to bo expended as follows, v"z: $300 for the salary of a Chinese colporteur for Honolulu and Oahu; $500 for travelling and incidental expenses: $1,200 for the salary of Mr. F. W. Damon, who is to have charge of this whole work, under tho direction ot the Home Committee of the Board. 2d. That effort be made at once to secure three Chinese colporteurs for Hilo, Makawao and Kauai, respectively, to be supported by those communities, aided if needed, by special grants from this Board. 3d. That the Christian Chinese in Kohala, Hilo and Makawao, be encouraged and urged as soonas possible to organize, in each of thoso districts, a Church, with a pastor and house of worship of their own. 4th. That Chinese young men of suitable gifts be sought out and put in training tor Evangelistic work among their countrymen. sth. That a copy of this Report be sent to the A. B. C. F.

A. D. several Ncstorian missionaries ,were received with favor by the Emperor and the new religion flourished two and a half centuries, as attested by a remarkable monument still existing in the Province of Shensi. It then became lost in the surrounding heathenism. The Papal Church has had a varying success in China several centuries. The work has had a considerable breadth, but the depth of it may be inferred from the fact that in a single district, during the prevalence of famine, 30,000 were baptized at one time, without previous instruction, in return for food. Robert Morrison, of the London Missionary Society, went as the first Protestant missionary to China, in ISO7. He baptized his first convert secr.uly, at a spring from a hillside by the sea, in 1814. In 1818 Morrison and Milne published the entire Bible in Chinese, a work which the Roman Catholics have never done, after an occupancy of hundreds of years, and with many thousands of converts, as they claim. In 1840 there were only three native Christians in connection with Protestant missions ; now there are 20,000. The increase Inst year was more than. ever. Should the same ratio be kept up for twenty years, the number of Christians would be 2.000,000. There are 310 missionaries in China, of whom 60 are ladies, besides 80 ordained native preachers, and several hundred other workers. In eight of the eighteen provinces there are no resident missionaries. Taken as a whole, China has one ordained missionary, native and foreign, for every section four times the size ol Massachusetts. The American Board has two missions in China, the Foo Chow and the North China Missions. Connected with them are nineteen ordained missionaries ; two physicians ; thirty-one lady missionaries; twenty-six native Dreachers and pastors, and thirty-nine other Christian workers, a total of 117. The gain in the membership of the native churches of the American Board during the last year was thirty-three nnd a third per cent. A Great People Misunderstood. " Never have a great people been more misunderstood. They are denounced as stolid, because we are not in possession of a medium sufficiently transparent to convey our ideas to them or transmit theirs to us ; and stigmatised as barbarians, because we want the breadth to comprehend a civilization different from our own. They are represented as servile imitators, though they have borrowed less than any other people; as destitute of the inventive faculty, though the world is indebted to them for a long catalogue of the most useful discoveries ; and as clinging with unquestioning tenacity to a heritage of traditions, though they have passed through many and profound changes in the course of their history. They have not been stationary, as generally supposed, through the long period of their national life. The national mind has advanced from age to age with a stately march; not indeed, always in a direct course, but at each of its great epochs recording, as ws think, a decided gain ; like the dawn of an arctic morning, in which the first blush of the eastern sky disappears for many hours, only to be succeeded by a brighter glow, growing brighter yet after each interval of darkness as the time of sunrise approaches. The existence in such a country of such a thing as a national mind is itself an evidence of a susceptibility to change, and at the same time a guarantee for the comparative stability of its institutions. It proves that China is not an immense congeries of polyps, each encased in his narrow coll, a workshop and a tomb, and ail toiling on without the stimulus of common sympathy or mental reaction. It proves that China is not, like Africa and aboriginal America, or even like British India, an assemblage of tribes with little or no community of feeling. It is a unit, and and through all its members there sweeps the mighty tide of a common life-"— The Chinese, by W. A. P. Martin. �8 TII X AMERICAN MINISTER ANGELL'S LETTER. On Chinese Scholarship.

His intimation that some word from me on the subject of missions might not be uninteresting to you prompts me to offer the results of my observation here upon one point, namely, the belief more or less prevalent in the churches and among Christian students that large talent and eminent scholarship are superfluous in the work of Foreign Missions, that the foreign field does not furnish scope for distinguished ability FRIEND, JANUARY. men literally count for nothing in shaping public opinion upon any subject except in. moving the tyranny of some provincial officer. But China can never be called in any just sense Christian, until a fair proportion of these scholars espouse Christianity. Now in learning these scholars have a great pride, in admiration of their own classics and of their proficiency in them an almost Pharisaic pride. These classics furnish for them their instruction in religion, philosophy, moral and practical life. From childhood they learn them by heart. It is in the style of the classics that they must write. The finest essay is that which most artfully dovetails together fine sentences nnd phrnses from those venerable books. Though the well established reputation of a foreigner of a Western scholarship may find a certain recognition among them, yet they regard the Chinese classical learning ns so far superior to all other learning that, whatever other attainments a foreigner has. he must be familiar with the Chinese classics to command from them very marked respect for scholarship or to exert much influence in modifying iheir religious opinions. Moreover they are so enreful in respect to style in expression, they have been trnined to so nice a linguistic sense that a large command of the language is essential to the exercise of any considerable power over them.

But one longs to see larger conquests of the class which really makes China, which governs it, which controls its ideas and its policy. We do not presume to limit the power of the Holy Spirit to touch these. But reasoning in the usu'l concerning the human instrumentalities needed to reach and move them, I think it may now be clear to you that the most vigorous hik! gifted mind will find full scope for all his powers in bringing the scholars of China to the cross of Christ. I shall rejoice beyond measure at the coming of the day when I can again meet with you and talk with you of these and kindred themes dear to us all. Meantime with my best wishes and prayers for you all both individually and ns an Association, I am Yours Very Truly, James B. Angell. The Hon. James B. Angell, our late Minister in Peking, has written a note to the missionaries in China informing them : "It may be known to you that in 1862 an order was issued by Prince Kung exempting Chinese converts to the Roman Catholic faith from the assessments sometimes made by officials for processions, theatricals exhibitions, etc., which form a part of heathen services. At my request, the Tsungli-Ynmen have now sent an instruction to all the high provincial authorities in the empire to consider the order above referred to as henceforth applicable to Protestant Chinese converts, as well as to Roman Catholics. The same exemption is secured to the former as to the latter. lam instructing our consuls to inform the missionaries in their districts of the fact." The decree orders that when local authorities meet with subscriptions which have a mixed nature—civil and religious—they must honestly separate them one from another, and not impose them without judgment or discrimination ; and that Christians who are injured on account of their refusal to be assessed their share toward these useless services shall be compensated and that the persons who offend against them shall be punished.—lndependent.
