DILLINGHAM.
Died in Honolulu, Sept. 26th, Mr.' C. T,
Dillingham, in consequence of a fall from his
horse, a short distance from his resilience. He
left home about 8 A. M. to come to his place
of business in Honolulu. He was found insensible and immediately taken to his home,
where the best medical aid was called, but all
in vain, and about 2 r. M. he was called away,
leaving a beloved wife and two children to
mourn his untimely end. His funeral was attended from the Bethel on the following day,
at 2P. M. A large concourse of citizens assembled, together with the I. O. 0. F, of
which he was a member. He was also a member of the Bethel Union Church.
The deceased was born Sept. sth, 1853, in
Southborough, Mass.. He came with his family to the Islands in 1875. Kor the past three
years he has been a book-keeper, in the house
of Castle &: Cooke. In all the private relations
of life, as husband, son and brother, he was
most exemplary and lieloved, while in the
community he was highly esteemed for Christian virtues and honorable conduct.
The following Resolutions were passed at a
late meeting of the Y. M. C. A., of which he
was the honored treasurer:

Away back, a half century ago, when
an under-graduate ofAmherst College,
we could look out from the college
windows, across the beautiful valley of
willow-fringed,"
Connecticut river,
as Holland writes—to Northampton,
where was the famous "Round Hill"
school, in which it was reported, that
Bancroft taught, who was writing the
history of the United States. Great
was the awakened desire among the
students to read this history. At length
ap|>eared volume I, opening with this
sentence of the preface, I have formed
the design of writing a history of the
United States from the discovery of the
the American continent to the present time." The preface bears the
date of June 16, 1834. This was 48
years ago hence, Mr. Bancroft must
have then been several years in Collecting historic materials and writing the
first volume which appeared that year.
We can recall, with vivid distinctness,
the interest awakened by reading that
first volume, and as years have rolled
away, and volume after volume has
appeared, we have read with equal
interest, each successive volume, and
now these ten goodly volumes lie
before us, which we have perused and
reperused many times. Some of them
we have noticed in our paper.
Under thesecircumstanc.es, it was with
no little interest, we read a few months
ago, the announcement that Mr. Bancroft was about to issue a history of the
constitution of the United States in two
volumes.
We immediately ordered
them from San Francisco, and now
these two lie before us, making in all
twelve noble volumes. Knowing with
what care and painstaking these volumes have been written and rewritten,
how thoroughly has been the search for
historic data, how many years have
elapsed since the undertaking was commenced, how ample the materials at
the author's command, how many able
writers have contributed their aid, how
all the governments of Euro|>e have
opened their archives for Mr. Bancroft
to explore and search, how notably the
world has undergone marvellous revolutions and changes since this history
was commenced, it is with feelings of
interest that we have perused the last
"
"
;
two volumes of this great historic work.
Lord Brougham spoke of Bancroft as
the only living historian who understood the philosophy of history.
The battles of the Revolutionary war
and the prominent generals and statesmen, who figured in that war, have been
discussed until they are as familiar as it is
possible to make them ; not so with
the events connected with the formation of the constitution of the United
States. This is something new, and
the reader's attention is wonderfully
awakened in tracing the history of the
United States from the close of the war,
until the final adoption of the constitution, about which, Mr. Gladstone thus
writes :
"As the liritish Constitution is the
most subtle organism which has proceeded from progressive history, so the
American Constitution is the most
wonderful work ever struck off at a
given time by the brain and purpose of
man."
This remarkable utterance or paragraph, Mr. Bancroft does well, to make-
movements of nations a marshaling
intelligence which is above them all,
and which gives order and unity to the
universe."
We would merely add, that the newspapers report Mr. Bancroft still, at four
store, hard at work with his clerks and
co-laborers, in searching through libraries and national archives, making
copies of important State papers and
historical memoranda. He spends his
winters in Washington and his summers
in Newport. Long may America's
great historian, statesman, diplomat and
scholar, be spared to forward his useful
studies.
While scribbling these paragraphs we
retail the fact that more than forty
years ago, (1839), we were present at
the funeral of the historian's father, the
Rev. Dr. Aaron Bancroft, of Worcester, Mass., where he had been for
halfa century pastor of the Unitarian
Church. He was also the author of
the " Life of Washington." A sister of

these Islands, places the amount at
less than one million of dollars,
and that of members of this society not
descendants of missionaries, and residing here, at not less than three-quarters
ofa million, (total $1,750,000).'' Mr.
Smith estimates the annual income of
this property at $150,000, while the
total contributions of the society amount
to only $1,956.46. He adds that the
contributions of the Hawaiian Fvangelical Association, for Foreign Missions, Home Missions, and North Pacific Institute, amount to only $5,200.69.
Without going into a full exhibit of
statistics, Mr. Smith draws this conclusion; "It would appear so far as the
facts are known and published, that the
total contributions of this kingdom by
the Lnglish speaking professors of the
Calvinistic faith for foreign missions
is less than $2,900, a portion of the
amount being for home work. Leaving
a sum for the foreign work, about equal
to the salary of a good book-keeper in
a mercantile house in Honolulu.''
This is not a very flattering inference. Other inferences in this address,
of Mr. Smith are even less so.
Our space will not allow additional
comment upon this able address in
this issue of our paper, but we shall
certainly call up the subject at a future
time. We here desire to thank Mr.
Smith for the careful and painstaking
style of this address. It is uncommonly well written and eminently logical. His legal acumen, protrudes, in

been much discussed and most important results have issued. The subject is
by no means exhausted. Principles
have been and are now operating of
momentous importance. The future
of these Islands, through all coming
time must be more or less shaped and
modified by this mission work. Just
now a new element is entering into this
work ; we refer to Chinese department,
so essentially modified by the labors of
German and American missionaries in
China. The subject is a most fruitful
one, inviting discussion and cli< iting
comment, but just now our thoughts
are turned in another direction by the
report heading this article "Thirtieth
Annual Report, etc."
During a full generation a society has
existed on these Islands, totally unique
anil unlike any other missionary organization, in other parts of the world. It
was our privilege to be personally
acquainted with the founders of this
society and for a period of thirty years
to have watched its growth unto maturity. It combines the missionary benevolent, literary and social elements in a
remarkable manner. Its members call
each other "cousins." Its monthly
meetings are highly interesting and
stimulating to thought and benevolent
enterprise. At one period it published
a quarterly, and although discontinued
still the unpublished communications
and editorials, read at the meetings are
among the best literary production of
our Island writers.

We will merely add that Dr. Hyde
presided, and addresses were read
accompanying various golden gifts,—a
gold watch, gold-headed cane, gold
spectacles and articles of choice work-
manship.
One of the speakers spoke of this
most happy coincidence, that this 2d
day of October, was also the golden
wedding day of Dr. Ray Palmer, author
of the oft-sung hymn, "My Faith looks
up to Thee.''
We copy the following from the N.
Y. Obsaver <A Sept. 14th.
"It is now just fifty years since Dr.
Ray Palmer, to whose services the
church is so much indebted, and whose
hymns are sung the world over, began
to preach the gos[>el. On the 2d of
October next he and Mrs. Palmer, who
still lives to be the model of a faithful
and loving wife on whom her husband
leans, will celebrate their golden wedding.
Dr. Palmer's services to the church
have been pre-eminent in its service of
worship and song. By universal confession he stands at the head of American hymn-writers. "My Faith looks
up to Thee," is one of the three or four
most loved and [xipular hymns in the
language. Though that has made him
famous, yet there are a dozen other
familiar to the church, such as "Jesus,
these Eyes have never Seen," "Before
Thy Throne with Tearful Eyes," "Oh !
Sweetly Breathe the Lyres alx.ve,"
"And is there, Lord, a Rest?" which
would have given him the first rank,
even if none of them had been like
"My Faith looks tip to Thee,'' so preeminently |topular and useful."
It is a pleasant idea, that the golden
weddings of two such servants of God.
can lie associated together. The one
standing up in pulpits amid all the associations ot a highly Christian civilization, and the other holding up the
" P.anner of the Cross," in a part ot the
world, where heathenism was struggling
to hold its sway against an advancing
wave of Christian influence.
We will only add that we hardly
imagine, a more happy gathering was
convened in the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Palmer, in Newark, New Jersey, than
assembled at the home of our missionary associate, Dr. and Mrs. Smith in
Nuuanvi Valley. Both gatherings will
long be remembered, and may both
family circles long remain unbroken.

THE FRIEND, OCTOHER, 1882.
WHAT ARE TO BE THE RESULTS.
SALVATION ARMY AND ENGLISH
CHURCH.
It is now about fifteen months, since
Mr. Hallenbeck first appeared upon the
Islands and commenced his evangelistic
labors, assisted by many co-laborers on
Oahu and the other islands. During
his last visit he has labored not only in
Honolulu, but on Kauai, Maui and
Hawaii. Many profess to have been
converted and commenced a new
spiritual life. During Mr. Hallenbeck's
last address in Kaumakapili, Sabbath
evening, Sept. 24th, when a large audience was assembled, we could see that
he felt no little solicitude in regard to
the results of all these efforts. His
Either the Salvation Army has captured the English Church or the English Church has captured the Salvation
Army. While the papers come with
the details of Englishmen and Egyptians, at their skirmishing and battles,
papers also speak of the peaceful skirmishing between the Salvation Army and
the dignitaries of the English Church
lead on, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and sustained by the Queen.
From copies of the War Cry, the
official organ of General Booth, commanding the Salvation Army and other
English papers, we are made acquainted
address to the converts was earnest and
touching, most earnestly he urged them
to go forward in the way which they
professed to have chosen.
Now comes the trying season. It is
to be seen whether the work has been
thorough and abiding. Let us fancy
the work to be genuine, then how glorious results. The island community is
lifted upon a higher plane—Sabbath'
services and prayer meetings are to be
better attended ; family altars established ; the Sabbath better kept; the
ungodly reproved ; intemperance checked ; our benevolent enterprises better
sustained and our whole religious life
elevated, ennobled, purified and made
better.
Results such as these will follow pro-
vided the young converts adopt Mr.
Hallenbeck's advice and counsels. We
must not expect such results, however,
unless there is Christian activity, earnest
and protracted. Our young men in
business, our mechanics in their shops,
our Christian prolessional men, should
realize that now they have a noble work
before them. We hope there will
be united action from one end of the
islands to the other. These hundreds
and thousands of Catholic Portuguese,
heathen Chinese and Polynesians, besides the hundreds of "wandering boys "
from Euro]>e and America, are not to
be moulded and converted without a
long and vigorous effort. The good
work must not stop, but be pushed forward. On all these plantations, there
ought to be found men to establish
religious services, and carry on prayer
meetings. Owners of plantations and
superintendents ought to feel their
responsibiliiy. They push forward their
laborers during the week, they surely
ought to do something for them on the
Sabbath!
with the fact, most unlooked for and
marvellous —that the dignitaries of the
Church of England, have actually
affixed the seal of their recognition of
the Salvation Army as a branch of the
true church of Christ.
It appears to be 17 years, since the
Salvation Army, commenced its spiritual warfare, employing methods and
means, the most sensational and attractive to arrest the sinner's attention to
gospel truths. They estimate their adherents as some 200,000, and daily-
increasing.
Recently a large theatre holding
has been purchased in London,
where the army will hold its headquarters. Thousands of pounds have been
contributed by Christians of all denominations, but what seems so marvellously strange is the fact, that the English Church has taken the lead ! Clergymen of the church appear upon the
platform ofthe Salvation Army and shout
" Hallelujah," "Glory to God!" "Amen!"
Such fraternization is a new departure,
indicating an entirely new method of
spiritual warfare on the part of English
churchmen. Great good will no doubt
come out of this movement.
It has been suggested that English
churchmen, are not to be caught napping in this, the 19th century, as they
were when the great Wesleyan movement started in the 18th century. It is
a well known fact that among churchmen there has long been a feeling, that
they did not meet the Wesleyan movement aright, but opposed it, when they
should have welcomed it.
We refer our readers to various articles found in our columns relating to
this marvellous movement of the Salvation Army. The following letter copied
from War Cry of July 13, was addressed to Mrs. Booth and read before the
10,000
Salvation Army, on their 17th anniversary :
" Our Birthday Letterfrom Her Majesty the Queen to Mrs. Booth.
Windsor Castle,
30th June, 1882.
Madam. —I am commanded by the
Queen to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of the 27th inst., and to
assure you that Her Majesty learns with
much satisfaction that you have, with
the other members of your society,
been successful in your efforts to win
many thousands to the ways of temperance, virtue and religion. I regret,
however, to have to inform you that
Her Majesty cannot contribute to the
fund you are now endea\ oring to raise
for the purchase of the Grecian Theatre.
I have the honor to be, Madam,
your obedient servant,
Henry F. Ponsonby.
Free Liquor.—To-day, Oct. 2, the
new License I.aw goes into operation.
No longer can the Hawaiian complain
that he stands not upon an equality
with the foreigner. We trust that every
Hawaiian from one end of the group to
the other will evince his freedom and
manhood by total abstinence from all
intoxicating liquors. Last evening, the
Rev. Mr. Cruzan preached a most
timely discourse upon this subject,
urging all the friends of Temperance,
to accept the situation, obey the law
and see that the saloon keepers and
wholesale dealers did the same. One
feature of the law is, thatpure, not adulterated liquors shall be offered for sale,
and if any dealer even offers an adulterated article, he is liable to a heavy
fine. Now Temperance man commence there ! After testing the liquors
sold, see to it, that the other specifications of the License law are strictly
kept.
Mr. Cruzan's indictment against
rum-sellers was fearfully terrific and
withering. This evening the Temperance Society holds a meeting, and we
hope they will most judiciously, resolutely, boldly and immediately enter U|>on a crusade to enforce this new License
law. If they are successful, then prohibition is surely to follow. Now friends
of Temperance, let us have a long pull,
a strong pull, and a pull all together.

Statement of Captain Pnrcell, of the Brit, ship Kesptgadera,concerning the JafMMM junk spoken by him
on the 18th of August, iS3i, in latitude 41 deg. ;o mm.
north, longitude 102 west. There was a slight easterly
current and light westerly wind. The junk had capacity
of aliout 50 tons; she bad a single mast and a bit of a
jib-boom; she lay lew in the-water, was covered with
barnacles about three: inches in length, and had on
small sail Ml and three small square flags (baml>o0
mats) flying from the forestay. Upon the Respigedera
approaching to within one mile, the sail of the junk
was lowered, and three seamen put off in a small boat
for the ship. They were allowed to come on board,
but they couldn't speak a word of English; they indicated, however, by signs, that they wanted water.
Their vessels, consisting of three large wooden tubs,
which they had brought with them in their small boat,
were filleci with water, the capacity of the tubs being
about ten gallonseach. They were alsofurnished with
one sack of rice, one sack of salt beef (about 90 pounds),
one sack of biscuit (about 120 pounds), and eight
pumpkins, which last seemed to give them especially
great satisfaction. As they seemed to have lost their
reckoning, I gave them the course to the Hawaiian
Islands, and upon their returning to the junk, they set
sailand bore off south toward the Islands.

SALVATION ARMY.
At a recent meeting of the Winchester Diocesan Conference, Lord MountTemple, in moving a resolution, " That
the action of the Salvation Army
deserves the kind and careful consideration of churchmen," said
The organization is a novelty. It
introduces a discipline and respect for
authority that would not be endured in
ordinary religious bodies. It combines
the advantages of autocracy with democratic freedom. Every member is
expected to take some active part. If
he has a faculty for preaching, he must
sing or play upon an instrument ; if
any influence, he must bring others to
the meetings; if he can do nothing
better, he must show his agreement
with what is said by shouting out
Amen, Hallelujah, or Praise be to the
Lord ; and those who have been
brought out of the old life must testify
to the blessings they have received.
The drawback and dangers of the
methods lie in the sensationalism and
excitement by which the multitudes are
collected and awakened from their
apathy. Some of their placards are
very distasteful to persons of higher
culture and more sobriety of feeling.
On the whole, the lessons that we
churchmen may learn are these—that
people in the elementary stages require
treatment different from the more
advanced,- and must be met on their
own level. That opportunities must
be found in mission services for working people to speak to their own class
in their own language and style. That
the joy and happiness of Christianity
must be communicated to them as well
as its solemnity. That the analogy of
the pastor and his flock must not be
held too exclusively. Even pastors
have to feed hairy independent goats,
as well as woolly, docile sheep."
:
"
DOCTRINES OF THE
SALVATION
ARMY.
We copy the following from the London Chart and Compass, for August,
1882:
They emphasize Salvation. In fact
they are called "Salvationists." A
glorious name this. For a sinner there
surely can be no better title in earth or
heaven. The mob have not attacked
them because they played musical
instrument, marched and shouted. Nay,
verily ! But because behind all this,
there was a red-hot earnestness for
salvation. The mob are very fond of
music and dancing, where rim is behind
it and not salvation. In how many
churches has salvation, free, full and
now, been alike urged by pastors and
people on those who came ? we leave
our readers to judge. In far too many,
it is not
Is your soul saved ?" but,
" Do you want a sitting ?" They go in
for salvation ; in fact, if they err, it is
not on the side of a shallow surface,
intellectual assent, but a perfectionism
which is unreal, because unattainable.
They hold out lo the criminal and sinbitten soul, a salvation which embodies
sanctification and all.
They emphasize life. Hence they
foster and force it. This is certainly
an article of their creed, though perhaps, unexpressed, "whatever we lack,
we must have life." They make the
animal and the spiritual blend with a
vengeance. As God has made us of
this paradoxical mixture of animal and
spiritual, the great problem is, how to
make the former subservient to the latter ? Personally, we felt General Booth
was making too much of the former,
but certainly the latter is everywhere
"
proclaimed.
Account for it as you may, the tendency of many churches, when organized and settled, is to crush, rather than
circulate life. The hard and mere
formalism, as cold as death, binds its
clamps and chains, and so crushes out
almost every atom of spiritual life.
Even mission station soon get to ape
the churches and lose their first life.
People soon feel and act as though the
apostles had ordained that they should
meet once or twice on a Sunday and
go through this particular form of
service! In fact, simply to live for
themselves. But every now and then,
a Wesley, M'Cheyne, or Spurgeon
movement, comes as a revolution, life
bursts forth with resurrection power and
upsets all this formalism.
They emphasize warfare, hence they
are called an army. Their religion is a
business. It is their chief concern, not
a secondary affair. We have no faith
in the devil's armies, but every Christian ought to be a good soldier of
Jesus Christ. We do not believe in
the "'gunpowder and glory business,"
but in Paul's army we have great faith.
Perhaps there is no profession, save the
sailor's, which is so emblematic as thai
of the soldier's.
They empasize witnessing. Personal
testimony of Christ and for Christ.
This is how Christianity was tirst established. Not by preaching of the few,
as we understand it, but by the witnessing of the many. Practically, this is
not taught in many churches, in fact it
is discouraged.
What is wanted is, not more preachers in the modern sense, but witnesses
in the apostolic, sense. The Holy
Ghost always abundantly honored witnessing for Christ. Men and women
are not converted from lives of infamy
and shame by fiddles or titles, not by
external eccentricities, but by internal
realities ; not by magic, but the impregnation of life into dormant souls.
They emphasize the amstive. Miracles did this in apostolic times. All
pulpit orators have their methods of
arresting attention. The Salvationists
have their General Booth has certainly taken leaves out of Pope Rome,
Pope Wesley, Pope Fox, and Pope
Plym, and other books.
A preacher had better work in the
dark, with nothing but mother wit, a
quickened conscience and a Saxon
Bible to teach him what to do and howto do it, than to vault into an aerial
ministry in which only the upper classes
shall know or care anything about
him. Would you have us, then, join
the " Army." Certainly not. But learn
what you can of them ; imitate, not
their vices (if they have any), but look
at their virtues, which are not hard to
find. Make your association with Christ
the chief thing of your life. Commit
your all to Him. Cross the Rubicon,
and break your bridges and burn your
boats, and so make your retreat impossible. Look not back. "Go forward !"
is the command. Limit not the Holy
One of Israel in this Redemption and
Journey. Would to God we were of
good, not offensive, courage for Christ;
penetrated through and through, permeated and saturated with Heaven's
fire—Holy Ghost fire. Then we should
" seek first the Kingdom of God and
His righteousness." Is it not written ?
They that be wise shall shine as the
brightness of the firmament, and they
that turn many to righteousness as the
stars for ever and ever."
War. —At Newport,
R. I., recently a device for exploding
torpedoes under an enemy's vessel,
designed by Lieut. J. C. McClean, of
the American navy, who was a delegate to the recent Electrical Congress
at Paris, was successfully experimented
with this morning in the presence of a
naval board. A launch was sent out
by aid of electricity, no one beii.g on
board, and was made, by the use of
one electric wire, to do eight different
things, among which were to start, stop,
back, go to port ami to starboard, and
to drop and fire mines, and countermines, which were rigged at the ends
ofspan placed on each side of the
launch's bow.
Lieut.-col. Bradford,
who was at a keyboard on shore, had
perfect control of the launch by the aid
of one wire. The electrical part of the
experiment was in charge of lieut.-col.
Caldwell, who was at the torpedo station, a long distance away.

EDITOR'S TABLE.
Braxton's Bar : A tale or Pioneer vf.aks in California. By
R. M. Dagc.ett or Nevada. Nnv
York: G. W. CarUton 6- Co. London : S. Low 6- Co. 1882.
It was a saying of Dr. Johnson, who
reviewed many books, that he never
read a book through. We have read
this book from page Ito jnge 453. It
is a book after the style of Mark Twain
and Bret Harte, in which frontier life is
depicted with a bold dash of the |>en.
From our ]>ersonal knowledge derived
from a visit to the mines of California,
in 1849, and also a visit to San Francisco in 1851 and 1852, together with
our frequent interviews with miners and
the oft repeated stories of pioneer life,
rehearsed in our hearing, we feel [irepared to endorse the sketches of this
volume as not very much overdrawn.
The sad tale of the overland journey,
and the hardships of pioneer life, present sketches which will ever form a
dark picture of human struggles to seek
new homes and acquire wealth.
The author of this volume, our readers will be interested to know, is the
present U. S. Minister Mr. Daggett, at
the Hawaiian Court. Undoubtedly,
no inconsiderable
portion of this
volume is made up of a literal copy
from his own journal. Unless we arcmuch mistaken, one of the characters,
Marcus Caius Telemon Hriggs, may betaken as a graphic and not much overdrawn sketch of his own character and
journey overland and sojourn in themines. We have no doubt most of
the other characters were merely drawn
from his personal friends and assor i
ate-s; hence, while the volume- is styled
"A Tale," we have read it as veritablehistory over which a thin imaginary veil
is spread.
Different readers will, of course, read
such a book and derive different impressions. As for ourself, we read volumes
of this character, and are impressed
with that mighty upheaval of the civilized world to send forth thousands and
tens of thousands of bold and adventurous men to people the Pacific slo|>e of
the Rocky Mountains. That was a
great event in modern civilization. It
changed the current of the world's
population. It was like the casting of
a great mountain into the ocean, and
long years were needed to allow the
waters to subside, and even now the
agitation is going forward.
The U. S. Government in making
appointments does not aim to select
men of literary or scientific attainment,
but we are always rejoiced when such
apjiointments are made, and we trust
that our present Minister will keep in
mind to exercise his talent for both
prose and potty," in a manner which
will reflect credit U|>on our country and
contribute to the delight of the reading
public.
A few days since, we had occasion
to call at the U. S. legation, and fortunately found the U. S. High Official
engaged in a " |>oetical " com]>osition,
which we have subsequently read in our
Honolulu pa|>ers, and which has been
commended for its real poetical
beauties. If our narrow limits would
allow, we should transfer the poem, but
the last stan/.a must suffice

QUARTERS FOR LABORERS
ON THE PLANTATIONS.
BETTER
We were glad to hear a planter
remark in a recent interview, that therewas an increasing disposition among
the planters to provide better accommodations for their laborers. If this is
the result of the recent discussion of
the subject in our island and foreign
KWspnpen, then an important result
has been attained. I'lanters are very
verily culpable unless they do providewell for their laborers. We see repotted
from time to time- in our island pa|>ers,
that some of the plantations are- declaring dividends of $20,000, 30,000 and
even 50,000 and more. Certainly these
planters cannot complain of hard times
or poverty.
The appointment of Mr. Cleghorn to
look after this matter ought to result in
much good to the- laborers. Aye think
agents would do well to visit plantations and co-operate with their overseers and superinte-ndenls. This is
too important a subject to be ignored
or overlooked. The eyes of tourisK
travelers, foreign officials, agents of for
eign government! and philanthropists
are turned to this subject, and it will
rarely be discussed in newspapers on
the- Islands and abroad The- Ameri< an people, in consideration of the fact
that they have granick the treaty of
reciprocity, have a perfect right to look
into this subject If done in a friendly
manner great good will be the result.
We would add, informationhas cometo us, that during the past few months
a secret detective has been traveling
over the- Islands, working awhile on
one plantation and then going to
another, but carefully noting what hesaw and heard. Missionaries are having their work examined and whyshould not planters be subjected to a
similar scrutiny ? The Hawaiian Islands
are not situated in an out-of-the-way
corner of the earth, but on the very
highway of commerce, trade and travel. /
now lying upon our table. Many of
the- sketches will be recognized as essays whit h the- author read in Fort
Street Church in 1870, at the Jubilee
Gatherings. They are interesting as
depicting scenes on the Hawaiian
Islands, more than a half-century ago.
Such books as this, and those of Mrs.
Judd and the Rev. Mr. Coan, contain
rich materials for the future historian
as well as afford entertaining reading for
the present generation.
This volume, as also that of Mr.
Daggett, noticed in this issue of our
paper, relate to Pioneer life; the former on the Sandwich Islands, and the
latter on the Pacific coast. The Pioneer Missionaries to these islands, came
for a far different object, than im|>elled
the pioneers of the coast to cross the
Rocky Mountains or double Cape Horn.
Both classes, however, pushed forward
amid hardships and dangers. The reIt is not right or manly to lie, even

The "Salvation Army" having taken
up positions in the various places in the
metropolis and the provinces, has now
proceeded to carry out a plan of operations in the city of Oxford. A letter
from the University says " The city is
being roused by the very practical, but
not very scholarly, movements of the
Salvation Army. The work of the Army
has been principally conducted in the
quadrilateral ' of poor parishes occnpicd by Evangelical clergy, and is said
to have produced already very marked
effects. Publicans are complaining
that their custom has been falling off;
courts formerly notorious only for
drunkenness are not only jKjaceful, but
signalised (shall we not say consecrated ?) by the presence of family
prayer. In St. Aldate's parish an experiment is being tried by a layman,
who intends, 1 am told, to be ordained
as Mr. Christopher's curate.
Every
night he holds a meeting, in which he
imitates as exactly as possible all the
practices of the Salvation Army ; and
so far with the result that many free
seats are occupied by men whose figures were heretofore only too familiar
outside the doors of public houses, and
a few Sundays ago a body of these men
were communicants. Blue ribbons,
badges of the Blue Ribbon Army,'
are to be seen quite commonly in every
street. One even appears in the coat
of the rector of St. Aldate's. There is
also evidence, especially in the increased congregation of St Ebbe's,
that the less demonstrative efforts of
the Evangelisation Society have been
attended with much blessing to the

Dr, Spurgeon does not seem to have
much sympathy with the idea that
drunkenness is a disease. He recently
declared it to be "in itself an awful
sin—one of the worst sins, in short, a
dreadful crime."
It is cheaper to reduce crime than to
build jails.

the address none the less impressive

The following lines were found copied in her own

repeating these verses as embodying her creed, or belief;
Nothing to pay? No, not a whit;
Nothing to dor No, not a bit;
All that was needed to do or to pay,
Jesus has done it His own blessed way.
Nothing to do? No, next a stroke ;
Gone is the captor, gone is the yoke ;
Jesus at Calvary severed the chain,
And none can imprison His free man again.
Nothing to few ? No, not a jot;
Nothing within? No, not a spot;
Christ is my peace, and I've nothing at stake,
Satan can that, neitherharass nor shake,
Nothing to settle? Ml has been paid,
Nothing to anger? Peace, has been made ;
Jesus alone is the sinner's resource.
Peace He has made by the blood of His cross.
What about judgment? I'm thankful to say
Jesus has met it and borne it away ;
Drank it allup when He hung on the tree,
Leaving a cup of full blessing for me.
What about terror? It hasn't a place

My peace is divine, and it never can cloy,
And that makes my heart bubble over with joy.
Nothing of guilt? No, not a stain,

My conscience is purged, and my spirit is free—
Precious that blood is to God and to me.
What of the law? Ah, there I rejoice,
Christ answered its claims and silenced its voice ;
Thelaw was fulfilledwhen the work was all done,
And it never can speak to a justified one.

THE TEMPERANCE REFORM IN
THE ENGLISH CHURCH.
One of the most significant and
encouraging "signs of the times" is
the awakening of the clergy of the
Church of England to the temperance
question. We clip the following from
an exchange:
" The youngest bishop of the English Church is Bishop Wilberforce, of
Newcastle. He is a grandson of the
Wilberforce of splendid memory in
connection with the abolition of slavery. Hardly has this new Bishop of
Newcastle got to the duties of his office
when he begins to evince the moral
sense and the moral courage of his
ancestor. He finds that a large part of
the immense revenue of the Established Church comes from lands and
houses leased to liquor-sellers, brewers
and distillers. He is scandalized at
the use of church property for such
purposes. He has determined, in his
own diocese, to put a stop to it. The

speakers that the Church itself was the
true temperance society. Ultimately
the motion requesting the clergymen of
the diocese to form branches of the C.
E. T. S. in the parishes or missions
under their charge was negatived on
the ground that in the absence of so
many of the clergy it was desirable to
give the matter further consideration."
From late English papers we learn,
that a monster temperance meeting
numbering 20,000 and more has been
held at the Crystal Palace. Let the
ball once start and depend upon it the
public sentiment of the English people
will push it forward, as they did the
anti-slavery movement a half century
ago.
The question of the descent of John
Bunyan is exciting much interest in
England, some maintaining that he
came from a family of gypsies. A man
by the name of Bunyan now claims
that he was of Scotch descent, and that
the first of the Bunyans was an Italian
mason who came to the building of
Melrose Abbey. The oldest gravestone
in the graveyard around Melrose Abbey
has on it the name of Bunyan.
JOSEPH COOK AT KIOTO.
Accounts have appeared in several
religious papers of the United States
of Mr. Cook's address at Japan, yet the
following reference to a great meeting
in Kioto, in one of Dr. Gordon's letters,
will be read with interest. Dr. Gordon
says:—
"You must know that while a national parliament has not yet been established, there are already local assemblies where representatives elected by

—for example, the vice-governor—expected it to be; still, they knew what

they invited him without even a shadow
of a suggestion that he should trim his.
speech.
"Coming out of that meeting with
the recollection that that great audience
of legislators, a vice-governor, and many
lower officials, physicians, lawyers, editors, teachers, pupils, priests, merchants,
etc., have been sitting in quietness and
attention for hours listening to a Christian preacher, a foreigner, too, at that,
declaring here in this old sacred city of
Kioto, that Christianity alone can give
them the civilization they seek, the self
constitutional freedom to which they
aspire, and then recalling the fact that
within ten years a Protestant Christian,
imprisoned for his faith alone, died in
the prison of this same city, one could
hardly help shouting, 'What hath God
wrought.'"
We cannot if we would, and should
not if we could, remain isolated and
alone. Men under the benign influence
of Christianity yearn for intercourse,
for the interchange of thought and the
products of thought as a means of a
common progress toward a nobler civilization.

Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, Is this:
To visit the fatherless and widowsin their affliction, and to keep one I self unspotted from the world."
"
This Pais la Edited by a Committee
of the T. M. C. A.
At the Last regular meeting of the
Y. M. C. A., held Oct. 19th, several
interesting reports were presented. The
chief subject of the evening, was that
of our present temperance situation.
Mr. P. C. Jones had, in accordance
with previous invitation, prepared to
some extent his views with regard to
the same. He made some practical
suggestions, which will again come before the Association for consideration.
Dr. Hyde as Chairman of the Temperance Committee presented many facts
of interest, in reference to the increase
of the use of liquor by the natives, since
the passage of the new law, which
grants liquor to all without distinction.
Among the business items of the evening may be mentioned the one making P. C. Jones, Esq., our delegate at
large, during his proposed visit to the
States. Also the one authorizing Mr
Jones to make enquiries, in behalf of
the Association, for a suitable person
to become our general secretary, and
empowering him to take the initiative
steps towards securing such a person.
Mr. Frank Eckley was elected to fill
the vacancy in the treasurership, caused
by the death of Mr. Dillingham. In
closing the meeting the President gave
announcement, that the subject of Temperance would again be the especial
topic for our next regular meeting, and
a special invitation was made for the
ladies to be with us.
The Rev. Joseph Cook has come
and gone. He was with us only a few
hours, the steamer from Australia arriving at about five o'clock Sunday p.
at,, and sailing again for San Francisco
at about nine the same evening. But
during this brief stay he gave many the
pleasure of hearing him lecture. We
say many because all could not be accommodated who wished to gain admittance. One of the needs of Honolulu is a large audience room, where,
on such an occasion as this Sunday
evening, all may find place. Mr. Cook
lecturedupon "The Signsof the Times;"
and after hearing it, every one felt how
unfortunate it was that the hope and
plan of our Association could not have
been carried out, viz as Mr. Cook was
expected on steamer of Scut. 2;, to
keep him with us until the next steamer
and have his presenceat the laying of the
corner stone of our new building.
Such a man of strength and power
would surely have placed us on our
feet However, we do not lose courage.
We will place ourselves, by our own
strength, upon our feet, and will be all
tbe stronger for having done so. Though
Mr. Cook simply came and went, as it
were, our interest and regard for him
has greatly increased. For now we
have come in contact with him. We
have seen and heard him, as well as
read him.
"Do you not think, that the opening
services at Fort Street Church are too
long?" asked one of a companion.
"Well, I don't know; how long are
they?" "Why," says the first speaker,
"at one of the recent meetings, as I
timed it, they occupied fifty-three minutes, while the sermon, and it was a
good one too, was but twenty minutes
long. It seems to me, that though the
kernel is very precious, still we are too
long in getting off the husks. Really I
was quite exhausted, on the morning
to which I refer, before the sermon
commenced, and I was not so able to
appreciate and enjoy it as I would like.
Is it not ]x>ssible to have some change
made? Ido not care for the long sermonso much, as for the physical strength,
if you please, to aid me in taking in
and enjoying the short one." We print
the above conversation for what it may
be worth. We think the form of service chosen, has been so chosen, because it has seemed to the pastor and
others as the most fitting, and beautiful, and preparatory for the "kernel"
which is to follow. But if there is anything in the service which unfits, as the
"length of it" spoken of, surely it ought
to be looked into.
As Temperance is to be the subject
of our next meeting, it may not be out
of place to copy entire the following
speech. It was a temperance speech
at a wine banquet. The "House Guardian" describes the situation as follows:
"Recently the freeholders assembled
in the new extension of the county
jail, Patterson, New Jersey, to celebrate
the expenditure of $30,000 for that
purpose, and to partake of a banquet
provided by the officers of the board
and the contractors. After drinking a
number of toasts, Judge Woodruff offered as a volunteeMoast, "The Temperance Cause," and called upon W.
H. H. Bartram to respond, which he
did as follows:
"Gentlemen: I thank you for this
invitation, and I recognize its fitness.
You have assembled to celebrate the
enlargement of this jail rendered necessary by use of strong drinks, in which
you are so freely indulging this day.
Down stairs the cells and corridors are
crowded with criminals who have but
changed places. A few years ago they
were respected citizens, some of them
occupying as res|K>sible positions as
those filled by yourselves, but they
commenced as you have commenced
and they continued as you are continuing, and to-day they are reaping the
harvest in a career of crime, and paying the penalty with a period of punishment. (At this moment another bottle
was opened, and Mr. Bartram said:)
I hear the popping of a cork, I listen to
the merry voices and the praises you
are singing to the infernal spirit of
wine; but there comes to me the sad
refrain, from the prisoner's cell, who is
shedding penitential tears over his
folly, and accompanied by the still sadder wail of anguish uttered by the
broken-hearted wife, worse than widowed through the traffic in strong drink,
which, as a judge in one ofyour courts
said, 'is the great promoter ol crime,'a
traffic licensed by you and sustained
by the patronage you are this day giving it. It is with inexcusable sadness
that I discover that there can be found
in Passaic County so many men with
hearts so hardened, feeling so calloused,
sensibilities so blunted, that in a place
like this, under circumstances like these,
they dare raise to their lips that which
depraves the citizens and endangers
the state. Thanking you, gentlemen,
for this unexpected privilege, I take my
seat fully conscious that you will never
again call on me under similar circum-
stances."
Christianity bids us seek, in
communion
with our brethren of every race
and clime, the blessings they can afford
us, and to bestow in return upon them
those with which our new continent is
destined to fill the world

THE CHINESE IN HAWAII.
A sermon preached in Fort Street Church Sunday evening, Oct. 28th, /88s, at the request
of the Hawaiian Board of Mission, by J. A.
Cruzan.
Isaiah xlix: 13. And these from the land of
Sinim.
Isaiah, the far-sighted and the clearsighted, looked down over the ages and
saw that wondrous day when the
Messiah's Kingdom should be worldwide. The nations of the earth all
eagerly were pressing in—taking "the
Kingdom of Heavem by violence."
And among others, China (Sinim), that
wonder-land, with its teeming millions,
Isaiah tells us, is in that day to be eager
for the Gospel as the rest.
"Behold,
these shall come from far; andlo, these
from the North and from the West;
and these from the land of Sinim."
China waited long for the f«ospel,
and when it was brought to her gave it
a slow, tardy reception.
But there
must ever be a planting time before the
harvest. China now presents many
fields ripe for the Gospel-reapers' sickle.
Every indication now points to a wonderful progress of the Gospel in China
in the near future. Sinim shall come,
for God's word says so. She is coming.
During thousands of years China's
�114
millions were hem mod in by her "great
wall" of non-intercourse. But at last
English cannon battered this barrier
down. China was not only opened to
the world, but, what was, perhaps, still
more important, the world was opened
to the Chinaman. And he is going
everywhere. Into Siam, Burmah, and
India, hehas made his way by hundreds
of thousands. Throughout the Malayan
Archipelago, New Zealand and Australia—everywhere you will find the übiquitous Chinaman. He has turned
his almond eyes westward, and, like another Columbus, has discovered America, to the tenor of the politician and
the American Irishman.
Into little
Hawaii, the smallest of Kingdoms, he
has come, until now more than onehalf of the adult males residing on
these Islands are Chinamen. Out of
the 80,000 people living in this little
group of islands, there are probably
nearly 14,000 Chinamen, and about
300 Chinese women; some estimate
the number as high as 15,000.
As thoughtful Christian men and
women we would do well to seek an
intelligent answer, first to this question:
1.
WHAT KIND OF MAN IS THE CHINA-
MAN?
The worldhas done the Chinese scant
justice in the past. The Chinaman
has been curtly dismissed as an ignoNever have a
rant heathen pagan.
great people been more misunderstood.
It is coming at last to be recognized
that the Chinese are a great people—
great not only in numbers, but great in
intellectual power and those sterling
qualities which in the "struggle for existence," may, world-wide, bring him
to the front. This is certain, that except the Anglo-Saxon, they are the
greatest people on the face of the earth.
i. The Chinese are an intellectual
people. Their literature dates back
to the time of Moses. They had
poets, sages, and philosophers centuries before English history began.
When President Angell, of the Mich.
University, was United States Minister
in China, last year, he wrote to the
students in Ann Arbor these words:
"In a most emphatic sense it may be
affirmed that public opinion here is
made, and this empire is governed by
scholars. With rare exceptions, men
cannot attain to official positions, of
even moderately high grade, unless they
have evinced their scholarship in public examinations." Civil-service-reform,
which America is now demanding of
her politicians, China has had for
2,000 years.
Of course among Hawaii's 14,000
Chinese there are few scholars. But
they all came from that intellectual
scholarly nation, where love of, and
reverence for learning is in the very
air the people breathe. They are not
the densely ignorant dolts which many
suppose them to be. They are quick
to learn and eager for knowledge.
THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1882

THE CHINESE ARK A COMPARATIVELY MORAL PEOPLE.
Says Dr.
Judson Smith:—"They are
not free from sin, and vice, and social
corruption. No man, or nation, wins
that boon without Christ and his salvation. But the Chinese are relatively a
moral and intellectual people. Morality, the proprieties of the human relations and conduct, has been the very
substance of the thoughts, and
Not,
studies for many centuries.
indeed, the pure and heavenly morality of the Gospel—then would they
need no light from us;—not a
morality of broad views, and generous aims, and high aspirations, but
still a strict and definite moral
code, which has left the impress of
moral principal and right living upon the
family and the social life of the whole
people. They are not a gross, sensual
besotted people, whose hopeless inward
corruption taints, and weakens, and degrades their mental powers, and all their
higher instincts and sentiments."
Don't misunderstand me. Ido not
picture the Chinaman as without vices,
when I say that he is comparathely
moral. What I mean is, that, compared with other heathen, he is very
superior morally. But he is not a
"saint." Far from it. He has many
vices, side by side with his virtues.
He is a strange incomprehensible being. Says Dr. Humphrey: "In the
same person stand side by side, gentleness, thrift, contentment, cheerfulness,
self-control, dutifulness to parents, and
reverence for the aged; with lying, flattery, fraud, cruelty, ingratitude, avarice,
treacherey, and abominable vices."
While compared with other heathen he
is moral, he is very far removed from
Christian morality.
3.
THE
ARE OF DECIDED
DOMESTIC TRAITS.
CHINESE
Nowhere else on the face of the
earth is the family so cherished, and
made so important as in China. Ido
not mean, of course, that they have
as a high an ideal of the family as we
find in Christian nations. But there is
no tie which binds the Chinaman so
strongly as that of the family. Death
does not break it, it only strengthens
it. After death, then the reverence
due parents becomes a part of the
children's religion—"the principal religion," Rev. Dr. Yates, of Shanghai,
calls it.
Every one of these Chinese bachelors in Hawaii has this love of, and
longing for the family tie. It is part
of his inherited constitutional tendencies and tastes. It is part of his religion. Whatever else he may not desire, one thing enters constantly into
every Chinaman's plans: a family of
his own.
any other man can live there, he will
thrive and hoard money. Wherever
he has pushed his way he has come as
a worker and not as a barnacle. There
is only one place where you will not
find the Chinaman: the poor house.
Not that the Chinaman loves work so
much. If laziness, as some one has
said, be the "original sin," then I suppose he has inherited his share. "If
he can evade work," says Rev. John
Ross, a missionary in China, "while he
gets his pay, he will undoubtedly be as
lazy as a man can be under the circumstaces. But if he can get money only
by work, he will neither starve or beg
when able to get employment, no matter what kind of work it may be. Industry, and industry guided by intelligence, is the leading characteristic of
the great nation. If any race surpasses
them in industry, it is only the Anglo-
Saxon."
These admirable characteristics,
joined with many others which I have
not time even to mention, have made
them the wonderful people that they
are:— "a people," so says Dr. Williamson, who has spent 20 years among
them, "A people whose intellect is, in
all important respects, equal to our
own." A people surrounded by barbarous races of nomadic savages, and
yet possessing the most stable of governments, many of the arts, sciences, and inventions, a written language and wonderfully rich literature. A people, who
in the "struggle for cxistance" have,
in 3000 years, from the narrow strip ol
country bordering on the China Sea
which they then occupied, pushed forward their conquering banner, with its
black dragon and yellow field, till now
it waves over one-third of Asia and
one-tenth of the habitable globe. A
people who will one-day be rulers of all
Asia lying between the Altas and Yoblonnoi Mts. on the North, and the
Himalay's on the South, and perhaps
the great group of islands lying to the
Southeast. Apeople whoarealready looking across the Altas Mts., and preparing
for a contest of arms with their great
neighbor, Russia, to decide who shall
rule all Central and Northern Asia; and
in that contest, which seems inevitable,
China will bring her 379,000,000
against Russias 86,000,000. A people
who may, one day, contest with the
Anglo-Saxon race for the supremacy of
the world.
More than 14,000 of this wonderful people are already in these
Islands. As thoughtful men, as Christians, we should seek an answer to this
question:
11.
ARE THEY A DESIRABLE FACTOR
IN OUR ISLAND POPULATION?

they teem with wealth. But, while all this
is true, still his presence may not be
desirable. Is there any danger of a
conflict of races between the Hawaiian
and the Chinaman? Hon. W. N. Armlate attorney-general of this
strong,
Kingdon, in a recently published letter
in the Southern Workman says there is.
—
He says:
"The natives are dwindling away.
The Chinese, thrifty, intelligent, lawabiding, equal, if they do not out-number the adult male Hawaiians. But
they hold no political power, and are
at the mercy of the natives. If selfgovernment is good for the idle natives
it is good for the industrious Chinese.
If there must be consistency, either the
natives must give up the ballot, or the
Chinese must have it. The result will
be an inevitable conflict of races. It
cannot be prevented. To ignore this
does not destroy it. It exists, and it is
only a matter of time, as to when the
conflict will begin."
Rev. Geo. L Chancy, a keen observer, who visited yourislands a few years
ago, in his charming little book "Aloha,"
broadly hints at the same "coming
conflict."
But I do not believe these "prophets of evil"—if they mean an open
conflict of force. There will be no
war of race between the Chinese and
the Hawaiian. If there should be it is
not diflcult to predict the result. The
Hawaiian would inevitably go down in
such a conflict. But, while I do not
believe there will be any open conflict
between the Chinese and the Hawaiian
races, there will be, there is already, of
necessity a conflict: That silent, invisible, bloodless conflict, "the struggle
for existence," in which "the fittest servive"—such a conflict has been going
on for years in these islands. The result is not doubtful. Says Rev. Geo.
L. Chancy: "The Chinese are a persistent race; the Hawaiian evanescent.
The former have the very qualities
which the latter most lack—industry,
providence, economy, subtlety—all the
money-making arfd money-saving virtues are with the Chinese. Idleness,
carelessness, generosity, simplicity, all
the money-losing qualities are with the
Hawaiian." Everywhere the Chinaman
is quietly, peaceably, similingly but
insistently displacing the Hawaiian. Nothing is more absolutely sure, which is
not already an accomplished fact, than
this: That as a laborer, small farmer,
shop-keeper, and tradesman the Chinaman will crowd the native Hawaiian to
the wall, and will take his place. But,
he is doing this peaceably, and with
the Hawaiian's tacit consent. More
than this: While the Chinese are steadily, surely, displacing the Hawaiians,
yet among all our many races thrown
together in this little kingdom, no two
so completely fraternize as do the Chinese and the Hawaiian. They

There is much more probability of future. In it there is the promise of a

The Chinaman has as much right to
sell dry goods and groceries, and to
build houses and make shoes as the
Anglo-Saxon." Well, yes, I acknowledge his right: But, if you were a
mechanic, or small tradesman, with a
large family to support, and had to
come in competition with the Chinaman, the case might not seem so clear.
The Chinaman is a bachelor.
His
white competitor is, or will be, at least
ought to be, a married man. Says
Joseph Cook:
"At the bottom of the collisions of
labor and capital which caused ten
cities in America to listen, during the
railway riots of 1877, to volleys of
sharp shot, was the compition of bachelor wages with family wages. James
here has two dollars and a half a day,
and can bareiy support his family.
John yonder, has no work, and is a
bachelor, and is willing to work for one
dollar a day. There is a strike. James
who has back of him his wife and
children, says to John: 'If you take
my place and work for a dollar a day,
I will kill you. I cannot keep my
wife and children from starving on
that!'" *The Chinaman is a bachelor.
More than" than that, he will herd like
a beast, with his fellows, to save rent,
and live on rice and the refuse from the
butcher's stall. If necesstty compels
he can exist, and work, on 25 cents a
day. We cannot afford to bring our
white mechanics and small tradesmen
be regulated, and our Islands not
flooded with males alone. The Chinese
immigrant should be required to bring
his family, as the Portugese is now required to do."
In such a treaty regulation as that
there would be a partial preventive of
the "coming conflict" between the
Chinese and the Anglo-Saxon. It
would also wonderfully tone up the
moral atmosphere of these Islands
if these thousands of Chinamen had
families. There is no other such potent moral educator and restraint as
the family. Did you ever stop to think
what a factor these 14,000 unmarried
Chinamen are in the prevailing licentiousness which curses our Island com-
munity?
3. Educate the Chinaman. Not only
should the few Chinese children
in the Islands be gathered into our
schools, but there should be persistent, wisely planned efforts to educate
the adults. They are anxious to learn.
With the new ideas which education
brings, will come new aspirations, a
broader and larger manhood, and better citizenship, and better laborers. Educated, he would no longer be content to herd like an animal and eat refuse. With his enlarged wants there
would be less danger of a labor and
wages conflict between the Chinaman
and his Anglo-Saxon neighbor.
4. Christianize him. We have no
choice in this matter, (i.) It is a stern
necessity. We must Christinize the
Chinese or they will paganize these
Islands. We are "members one of
another." The destinies of yourselves,
and esi>ecially your children, are closely
interwoven with these pagan Chinamen. They cannot dwell among us,
cherish their sui>erstitions, and practice

white men that they can no longer afford to marry, or, being married, can

above, our way lay from Kau through
the Hilo and Hamakua districts, past
Waimea, the home of that "sweet psalmist" and noble missionary, Rev. Mr.
Lyons, to Kohala.
This overland
journey of more than one hundred
miles, one of the most trying for horse
and rider physically, is at the same time
one of the most delightful to a traveller,
alive to the grand and beautiful in nature. The wild and precipitous coast
of Eastern Hawaii, cleft by romantic gorges, glorious with a luxuriant growth of tropical foliage,
beneath which riotous mountain streams
hasten to the sea, is one of the most picturesque regions, I have ever been permitted to visit. We were ever in motion,
every daybrought us a few miles further
and every night, a new company of
listeners to the '-good news" which we
brought them. Our services were held
in all manner of places, high up on the
slope of Mauna Kea, in some rough
mountain cabin, or down by the shore,
where the Pacific wages ceaseless war
with the jagged lava ledge, in crowded
plantation "quarters," or village churches, or under the star-lit arch of night.
Books and tracts and leaflets were given
at all points by the way, and we cannot but hope that some seed has fallen
on good soil which in God's own time
will spring up to His Glory. On Maui
our work was similar to that on Hawaii
—nearly all the Chinese on the Island
were visited on the plantations, or at
the different settlements and a very
cordial reception was given us whereever we went. One especial feature of
the work here, was the visit to the great
plantation owned by Mr. Spreckels,
where there are from six to seven hundred Chinamen, living at different
camps. We returned to Honolulu,
with many pleasant memories of the
summer's tour. At all points we had

They are perishing in sin. God has,
in His providence, brought them to
our very doors that we might give them
the Gospel. As I ride through the
Chinese quarter, as I come face to face
on every street with these men from the
Orient, there is a new meaning to these
words which we sometimes sing:

" IfAnd

You can lind the heathen nearer,
You can help them at your door.
If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,

a Union Church, and have erected a
church building.
We have the means necessary to
Christianize these Chinese. God has
wonderfully blessed the foreign population in these Islands. Into their hands
he has given most of the wealth. God
has been pouring a ceaseless golden
stream into your coffers. Seven years
ago the value of the plantations on
these Islands was estimated at only six
millions of dollars. Now, the late Planter's Convention estimated their value
at twenty millions. Are you giving
back to God's work in proportion as
he is blessing you? Listen to the record: In 1873 >' our total contributions
to the Hawaiian Board was $10,849.
In 1881 your total contributions were
only $5,200! Your wealth multiplied
by three—your contributions divided
by tii<o\ " But." you say, "there has been
a great falling off in the native contributions." Yes. In 1873 the foreigners
alone contributed $2,076. In 1881
only $944—or less than one-half!
"These things ought not so to be." If
the Chinese receive the Gospel you
must give it to them. The Christian
Chinese are poor. They cannot give their
pagan brothers the Gospel. These
pagan Chinese will not pay for the
Gospel, and it is absurd to expect them
to give money to destroy their own religion. We must do it. The destinies
of our own families, of these Islands,
of thousands of immortal souls, depend largely on our faithfulness in
obeying the Christ's command: "Go
ye, and preach the Gospel to every
creature." May God help us all to be

DONATIONS
FOR
CHINESE
MISSIONWORK.
Funds are necessary to carry forward mission work. The rich and poor
can aid. A lady sent us recently $1.00,
which we received with unfeigned delight. A much larger sum recently
came from Liverpool. We refer to a
draft for j£ioo or $500, signed by
Alexander Balfour, of that city. The
name of this donor has deservedly become widely known, in connection,
with many objects of public beneficence.
Recently when Mr. Moody
appealed for funds to clear of! a large
debt, on the Y. M. C. A.of San Francisco, Balfour, Guthrie & Co., were
down for $ 10,000, and when Mr. Moody
first labored in Liverpool, Mr. Balfour,
contributed thousands, to carry forward
the Evangelistic enterprise. Recently
Mr. Balfour has visited the Orient, and
we notice his donation of $1,200, to
American mission
work in Beirout
Syria, while for many years he has contributed largely to evangelistic work in
Chili, S. A, under the auspices of that
noble laborer, Rev. Dr. Trumbull. We
desire to assure Mr. Balfour and all
others aiding in the special work of the
Chinese Mission, on the' Hawaiian
Islands, that they have our sincere thanks,
and we shall ever be ready to report respecting the manner their contributions
are expended.
We would merely add, that under
the auspices of Mr. Balfours' firm in
Liverpool, Balfour, Williamson & Co.,
the Apprentice's Home, 151 Duke St.,
has been carried forward. This Home
is now doing much good, and we often
meet the young sailors from this institution on their visits in English ships at

MISSON ITEMS.
As we are desirous of gathering
facts in reference to Mission Work
among the Chinese, in countries outside of China, we shall be most glad
to receive from friends in America,
Australia or the Straits settlements, any
information bearing upon this point.
At the next communion season in
January, four persons are hoping to
unite with the Chinese Church in Honolulu. Three by profession and one
by letter.
Mr. John Bishop, who has charge of
the Government school at Kaneohe, has
opened an evening school for Chinese.
We trust he will find much to encourage him in his efforts to do them good.
In view of the increasing importance
of the missionary work among
the Chinese, the Woman's Board of
Missions voted at a recent meeting
to aid by contributing funds to this
cause.
We are pleased to learn from Kohala
that the Chinese Sabbath School there
is in a flourishing condition. Mr. George
W. Paty now acts as superintendent.
The school is held at the Foreign
Church.
In Wailuku, the Rev. Mr. Groser, of
the Anglican Church, has long taken a
deep interest in the Chinese, and has
done much for their spiritual welfare,
proving himself a true friend to them.
This is a field of labor in which all
Christians on our Islands can join in
brotherly union to advance the cause
of Christ.
At Wailuku, Maui, there is a large
and important Chinese settlement, and
we rejoice to learn that Mr. Girvin has
started a Sabbath school there for the
Chinese. He writes us: "I feel confident that I will capture them with the
bait of English, and pray that I may
be able to show them the Christ." This
is the right spirit with which to go to
work, and we trust that many of our
business men, will engage in the same
good cause. The Chinese cannot fail
to be impressed, when our prominent
foreign merchants try to tell them of
the Saviour of mankind.
who has been many years on the
Islands, appears to have become a
most ho|>eful and intelligent Christian,
and has recently united with the Honolulu Church. He came many years
ago to the Islands. He was at one
time in the family of Rev. Mr. Johnson on Kauai, and the impressions for
good which he there received, seem
never to have been effaced. What an
encouragement this should be to those
who have Chinese, as family servants,
to labor for their spiritual good! Several men restored to health, returning
this week to their work on a Hawaii
Plantation, have shown great interest
in the religion of Jesus. They carry
back with them their testaments and
promise to continue to pray to the true
God. Let us pray that they be witnesses for truth, in the midst of their
still heathen fellow-laborers. One poor
man, who was found by Christian
friends, lying by the wayside, in a well
nigh dying condition, and sent to the
hospital has been completely restored
We are sometimes taught that we
should have hope for the seemingly
most hopeless, and labor for them accordingly. We recently received a
letter from a lady friend on Hawaii,
who writes about a poor Chinaman in
her employ, who has till recently been
addicted to the use of opium, until
there seemed to be scarcely any hope
for him, and he lingered in life only a
poor and wretched object of humanity.
Efforts exerted in his behalf seem to have
wakened new life in him, and our friend
says of him: "He is certainly a different man now from what he was, there
is such a marked changed, that we all
notice it; he has given up opium smoking and while he was obliged to take
the doctor's medicines, begged me to
ask him not to put in any opiates, so to health, and cannot sufficiently exthat the taste for them would not be press his gratitude to God, who has

THE FRIEND, DECEMBER 1882
DWIGHT LYMAN MOODY,
the lay Evangelist, was born in the
town of Northfield, Mass., on the sth
of February, 1837. He came of the
old Puritan stock, his father's and
mother's families being numbered
among the earliest settlers of that state.
His father, Edwin, owned a comfortable farm-house just without the town,
and a few acres of stony land, the whole
encumbered by a mortgage. When the
building trade was brisk, he worked as
a stone mason, and his leisure hours
he spent in cultivating his little farm.
But his spirit was crushed by reverses
in business, and he died suddenly after
an illness of a few hours. Dwight was
then only four year old, but the shock
of that death made an impression on
him which he declares he has not forgotten. This blow was followed by the
birth of a twin boy and girl a few weeks
later. Thus Mrs. Moody was burdened
with the care of seven sons, and two
daughters, of whom the eldest boy was
only aged fifteen. Yet this widowed
mother refused to part with any of her
little brood. She bravely set about
caring for them all, and contrived to
have the little hands earn something for
their support, by tilling the garden and
doing odd jobs for the neighbors. She
taught them every day a little Bible
lesson, and also accompanied them to
the Unitarian church and Sundayschool.
Another sorrow came on the bereaved family, through the oldest boy
becoming a runaway. We give Moody's
description of this incident, as he told
it in England, and because of the insight it gives into his home life.
"I can give you a little experience
of my own family. Before I was four
years old the first thing I remember
was the death of my father. He had
been unfortunate in business, and failed.
Soon after his death the creditors came
in and took everything. My mother
was left with a large family of children.
One calamity after another swept over
the entire household. Twins were
added to the family, and my mother
was taken sick. The eldest boy was
fifteen years of age, and to him my
mother looked as a stay in her calamity, but all at once that boy became a
wanderer. He had been reading some
of the trashy novels, and the belief had
seized him that he had only to go
away to' make a fortune. Away he
went. I can remember how eagerly
she used to look for tidings of that boy;
how she used to send us to the jiostoflfice to see if there was a letter from
him, and recollect how we used to
come back with the sad news,
No
letter." I remember how in the evenings we used to sit beside her in that
New England home, and we would talk
about our father; but the moment the
name of that boy was mentioned she
would hush us into silence. Some
nights when the wind was very high,
and the house, which was upon a hill,
would tremble at every gust, the voice
"
of my mother was raised in prayer for
that wanderer who had treated her so
unkindly. I used to think she loved
him more than all of us put together,
and I believe she did. On a Thanksgiving day—you know that is a family
day in New England—she used to set
a chair for him, thinking he would return home. Her family grew up and
her boys left home. When I got so
that I could write, I sent letters all
over the country, but could find no
trace of him.
One day while in
Boston, the news reached me that he
had returned. While in that city, I remember how I used to look for him in
every store—he had a mark on his face
—but I never got any trace. One day
while my mother was sitting at the
door, a stranger was seen coming toward the house, and when he came to
the door he stopped. My mother
didn't know her boy. He stood there
with folded arms and great beard flowing down his breast, his tears trickling
down his face. When my mother saw
those tears she cried, "Oh, it's my lost
son," and entreated him to come in.
But he stood still. "No, mother," he
said, "I will not come in until I hear
first that you have forgiven me." Do
you believe she was not willing to forgive him ? Do you think she was likely
to keep him long standing there. She
rushed to the threshold, threw her arms
around him, aud breathed forgiveness."

Undoubtedly many good men engaged
in commerce and other pursuits were
there; but it required a distinct class,
whose whole duty it was to educate the
natives and to be an example and
teacher to foreigners. They had great
trials and great labor in the first year
of their mission. They went to carry
the (iospel to a people of whose language they had no knowledge, and
whose ideas, habits, manners and customs were, in many respects, abhorrent
to their Christian civilization.
You can imagine how slow this process must have been, and the almost
s]K'cial grace needed to prosecute
the work. It was a great triumph to
save the nation, and to have brought it
within the family of nations which was
so
important to Christian civilizatiou,
and to the commerce of the world, and
more es|iecially of the United States.
How encouraging to all men is the
fact that the American Board has
within itself a progressive jxiwer, so
that the educated Hawaiian is now
engaged in missionary labor in distant
islands.
May the work go bravely on, till the
Christian religion shall pervade the
world and influence the nations for

My Dear Sir:—l have had the pleasure to receive your note of the 20th
inst., inviting me to be present at the
meeting of the American Board of
Commissioners for Foreign Missions in
Portland, on the third of October. I
regret exceedingly that I shall be unable to be present on that occasion, for
I have a very high appreciation of the
great work which the board have accomplished No one can fully appreciate it unless by a visit to that country,
which has been blessed by its labors.
I went to the Sandwich Islands in
1850, and resided there till 1877, with
occasional visits to the United States
on special missions for the government.
I was for twenty years Chief Justice
and Chancellor of the kingdom, and
had occasion to visit often the different
islands of the group. I became intimately acquainted with the missionaries and the people in their charge.
They were a self-denying and devoted
class of men, and the ladies of the
mission rendered great aid in the good
work.
The mission was established

him:—
"My first lecture in Calcutta was
on 'The Insufficiencies of mere Theism.' I did not spare the system of
thought of Mr. Sen; but I confess I
admire the man. If Theism is put
forward as complete in itself, and as a
rival to Christianity, it must of course
be criticised; but I think that Mr. Sen
himself, as distinct from his scheme of
theology, is to be treated with tenderness, and deserves the prayers of the
Christian Church. He calls himself a
Uni-Trinitarian, but I find myself
compelled to classify him at present as
a Quaker-Unitarian in a Hindoo dress.
He has a doctrine of the Inner Light
that remains one of the best of the
Quaker mystics; but his views of the
person of our Lord are certainly not
more nearly orthodox than Channing's.
I was surprised to hear that he had
never read Liddon's Bampton Lectures
on the divinity of our Lord, and I gave
him a copy of the volume. He depends
for his knowledge of religious truth on
religious exercises continued through
three, four, and sometimes five houas a
day. I thoroughly believe him to be
an honest and devout man. My feeling is, not that he should pray less, but
that he should study more.

WAIKIKI.
BY HIS EX. ROLLIN M. DAGGETT,
U. S. Minister Resident at Honolulu.
The cocoa, with its crest of spears,
Stands sentry 'round the crescent shore,
And algeioba, (i) bent with years,
Keeps watch beside the lanai(2) door.
The cool winds fan the mango's cheek,
The mynah (3) flits from tree to tree.
And lephyrs to the roses speak
Their sweetest words at Waikiki.
Like truant children of the deep
Escaped behind a coral wall,
The lisping wavelets laugh and leap,
Nor heej ,d ocean's stern recall.
All day they frolic with the sands,
Kiss pink-lipped shells in wanton glee,
Make winrows with their patting, hands,
And, singing, sleep at Waikiki.
°
The closing curtain of the night
Is shading down the gold to grey,
And on the reef the flaring light
Of brown-armed fisher, (4) far away,
Dyes red the waves that thunder by
The sturdy bulwarks of the sea',
And breaking into ripplets, die
Upon the breast of VVaikiki.
WRITTEN FOR THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
Time to me this truth has taught,
"Tis a truth that's worth revealing—
More offend from want of thought,
Than from want of feeling.
If advice we would convey,
There's a time we should convey it ;
If we have a word to say,
There's a time in which to say it.
$o in many a loving heart
Lies some canker griefconcealed,
That if touched is more oppressed,
Left unto itself is healed.
Oft unknowingly the tongue
Wounds a chord so sorely aching,
That a word or accent wrong
Fains the heart almost to breaking.
Many a tear of wounded pride,
Many a fault of human blindness.
Has been soothed or turned aside
By a quiet voice of kindness.
Time to me this truth has taught,
'Tis a truth that's worth revealingMore offend from want of thought
Than from want of feeling.

With iron limbs and shoulders bare—
PEACE.
The chieftian of a dusky race (5)
Whose hostile front, with lifted lance,
[WRITTEN FOR THE SATURDAY I'RESS.]
And war-proas flecking all the sea,
Swept through the palms with bold advance
There is an islet fair,
Along the shores of Waikiki.
Set in a summer sea;
A gem of beauty rare
And all unchecked in martial course
This island is to me.
By menace or the spear of foe,
No rude winds blow, nor tempest raves
The misty columns move in force,
Nor mighty blast can vex the waves.
Their chieftian leading as they go,
Up, up Nuuanu's rocky bed
Bright sunsets come and go
Till, looking down through clouds they see
Within this calm retreat,
The beetling front of Diamond Head
Where ferns and grasses low
And silver sands ofWaikiki.
Weave dainty carpet sweet;
And bird and bee in listless play

And o'er the Pali's awful side, (6)

With shout and stroke and battle-surge
Whose every breath is balm,
Is poured a shrieking human tide.

And then, with tropic

Fit emblem of a life
Come distant voices half divine;
In simple pleasures spent.
While mingled with the ylangylang's scent (7)
Apart from toil and strife,
Is breath of sage and mountain pine;
Where soft waves creep and shadows fall,
And from Diablo s vine-clad feet, (8)
And God's great peace is over all!
From desert bleak and green Maumee,
Are wafted strains to me as sweet
Thy truth, thy faith, thy calm,
As e'er we heard at Waikiki.
Safe set in tropic seas,
Be mine, O towering palm,
My virtues such as these!
0! Waikiki! 0 scene of peace! (9)
Thy crown of ripened fruit be mine!
O home of beauty and of dreams!
The bread that feeds—the bursting wine!
No heaven in the isles of Greece
On granite crest the oak
Can chord the harp to sweeter themes;
Matures its ribs of steel;
For houris haunt the broad lanais,
From out the tempest's stroke
While scented rephyrs cool the lea,
Come mast and sinewy keel;
And, looking down from sunset skies,
And battling with the stormy sea,
The Angels smile on Waikiki.
God's fleet rides forth to victory.

is a thoroughly Christian institution.
We believe in such schoolsand colleges.
Any school, seminary or college, which
aims to give its pupils a good, sound
and thorough education, but ignores the
Christian element, in that education,
we deem as a one-sided and defective
affair. Such training, as the pupil receives in those schools which ignore
God and the Bible, may impart a certain amount of scientific knowledge,
but the pupils higher and nobler nature is dwarfed, belittled, starved; hence
we hail with delight the building up

leges.
Some twenty years ago, Dr. and
Mrs. Mills were laboring at Oahu College, and the institution flourished
under their management. Perhaps no
class ever graduated from this institution,
superior to the one, the year they retired. Having for so many years,
observed their efforts at Oahu College,
Benecia and now at their own Seminary, it is with special delight, we refer
to their present prosperity.
"While on a recent tour through
California, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Dodge,
of New York City, spent some time
visititing Mills Semenary, in which they
exhibited a deep interest. Mrs. Dodge
has given a tangible expression to this
interest by a donation of $2,000 for
the purpose of founding a scholarship.
This is the seventh scholarship endowed
in this institution. The others are
William Raymond scholarship, $5,000;
the Orrin Sage scholarship, $2000; the
James Williamson scholarship, $2,500;
the William H. Bailey scholarship, $3,--000; the M. S. Percy scholarship, $3,--000. The parties were respectively of
San Francisco, Ware (Mass.) New York

The celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the wedding of Rev. Elias
Riggs, D. D., LL. D., and Mrs. Riggs
at Constantinople, or: the 18th of September, was a rare occasion on missionary ground. There was present their
sons, Rev. Edward Riggs of the theological seminary at Marsovan, Asia Minor,
Rev. James Riggs of Crawford, N. J.,
and Prof. Charles Riggs of the Central
Turkey College, at Aintab; also the
daughter, Mrs Trowbridge, with her
husband the president of the Central
Turkey College, and fourteen grandchildren. All day the house was thronged
with callers, bringing their "polyglot
congratulations." In the evening missionary friends, with Gen. Lew Wallace, the U. S. Minister, assembled in a
social way, when Dr. Riggs gave an intensely interesting autobiographical
