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

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-

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

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

see reminders of the three great religions or

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

"Home for the Homeless" again.
" 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.

Never was there a season in the history of

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.

which we commend to the attention of onr readers:
BEPOBT OF CHAIEMAN OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
1882.
have found in Mr. and Mrs. IJunscoinbe, persons
who have thoughtfully provided for their present
necessities and sent them forward on the journey
of life. 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.

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.

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.

The father, while living, is the head of

paid to him till he dies. If a Chinaman
has money, he would starve himself just as
quickly as he would allow his father to go

Mr. Hallenbeck.—Intelligence of the
Evangelist's labours have been reported at
various places on the Coast and at Cedar
Kapids in lowa. By the steamer's Mail, it
was the privilege of the Editor, to receive a
letter from him, dated in Brooklyn N. Y.
where he had safely arrived, and was spending a few days among his family friends in
his early home, to which he so frequently
referred in his addresses. From his letter
we quote as follows : '• It does my heart
good to hear that the work is still going forward in Honolulu. My prayer is that it
may go forward until it shall permeate those
Islands, and all from the least unto the greatest, have formed relationships with our Bless
ed Redeemer, and knowledge of his loving
power. God gave us the blessing last summer, which I believe was the results of the
labor of those dear old fathers and moihers
in Israel, who went to those islands many
long years ago, and carried the gospel to
that people. In all those years they have
been sowing and reaping, and last summer
He gave them a general harvest-timo and
days ofrejoicing. We have a great God
and he is able to do great things. Have
been hard at work since I left the Islands,
and shall return next week to Bacramento
and join Messrs. Whittle and McGanahan
and work with them on the Coast this winter, as I did with Messrs. Moody and Sankey last winter. I may be called to England, but 1 prefer to remain on this side.
They have more workers there than we have
here, I think of you all and pray for you ofetn, especially the young disciples."

THE
The Bible Among the Chinese.
Extract from an Address by Rev. S.
Whitehead, a Wesleynn Missionary from
China, delivered before the Band F. 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. England has thrown her
arms around the globe, but her Bible cannot
be read by a hundred million souls ; nor can
the French, or the German But the Chinese version is intelligible to hundreds of
millions. 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

What limit can be put to their

has the failure of every other system been so

as if God had isolated them from the rest of

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.''

•' But a few years ago China prohibited
emigration, while other lands were seeking
the services of the industrious Chinaman,
and in a wav maintaining their right to leave
their nntive land. 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;

" 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

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.

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 Census Tables show
the suddenness and recentness of the
increase of that element of our population.

THE
Ed at the Bethel under Mr. Dunscombe, from 1870 to 1880,248 Chinese
received instruction in English three
evenings in every week. 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

employ, enrolled on the books of the
company and receiving regular month-

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.

Since 1872 tho Hawaiian contributions have fallen your by year. 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.

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.

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

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.

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

broad fields of lava still emitting steam

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

The attention of the whole civilized world

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

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,

the Shibi quarter of the city. The shadows

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

still remains one of ihe most impressive and
tearfully grand objects in nature. There is

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

full view, and mantled with snow, far down
their rugged and lava-scarred slopes. Before us yawned that great, black, smoking

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,

Such ledges and masses of rocks and lava

the nrdor of most men, but .Mr. Wilder with
an hundred chin imen, and a score of white

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.

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

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

The regular meeting of the Association
was held at the Lyceum, on Thursday evening, Jan. 19. 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.
Mr. Frank Damon reported the resignation
of Sit Moon as Pastor of the Chinese
Church.
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 Gospel Temperance meetings held
in the vestry of the Bethel every Saturday
evening, are lull of interest and encouragement.
We are glad to see the name of W. A.
Kinney, as one of the Vice-Presidents of the
Students' Christian Association at Ann
Arbor, Mich.
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. J.
we state the following extracts
The old idea is that the young men
must be left to take their own cause; that
some would lapse into indifference and
wickedness, some would come through with
scars and sorrows of their experience, and
that some would survive the ordeal safely

we know that young men are es" Nowopen
to sympathy. 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. Those who have pleasant
homes and wide social circles should come
to the Association's rooms for the sake of
others, if they do not need the aid themselves.

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

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

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

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.

Honolulu
The Bar, W. Winans.— Some months
or years ago, we read mi interesting account
of the conversion of a sailor who styietl himself " Happy Jack," and who was lecturing
in various pirtt. of the United States, upon
Temperance and the cause of seamen. It
appears that he was formerly a rover among
the Islands of this ocean, and ofi-iime* visited Honolulu. He is now laboring among
Seamen, in Baltimore. He has favored us
with an interesting letter, and ttie following
leaflet :
I am only a Cipher."
It is sometimes the case that a person attempts to excuse himself Iron service or labor in the Lord's cause by saying •' I am only a t pher '' Well suppose lie is only that,
is it not true that a cipher placed at the
right hand of a whole number increases i:s
value tenfold ?"
'
The real worth of any man, woman or
child, depends on their relation to Christ.
A row of ciphers us long as from here to the
moon if placed on the left side of the unit
Would add nothing lo its value nor to their
own, but if placed on the right side of the
unit it would be vastly d He rent : so if a man
stays away from Chrsl now and is placed on
his •' left liand " in the day of judgement he
is hut a worth ess cipher in this world, and
will be a miserable cipher to nil eternity ;
b tif united to Christ hy faith here and
placed " on his right hand hereafter he will
be worth much in time and more in eternity
(Malt. 25: 31-40).
Come, ye who are only ciphers in your
own estimation, be willing to let the Holy
Spirit, nnd the true providence of God, place
you where you ought to be -on the right
hand of Jesus. S -til of Tarsus was ••nothing" but a " blasphemer, and a persecutor
and injurious " till he git there.

Extract from an Essay on Temperance
read at a meeting of the Cal. VV. C. T. U.:
4 Intemperance has become an evil of such
v*st magnitude, throughout the world, that
all the friends of humanity should unite to
overcome it If one does not realize the necessity for action, after what he sees going
on in the street, and saloons, let him consult
re'iab'e statistics of different countries, and
learn the enormous amount of wine, beer,
anddisti led liquors manufactured and drank.
If that is not sufficient let him visit the
homes of drinking men. In most cases he
will find neglect, poverty and suffering. In
some, even, he will find the disheartened wile
has learned to drown her sorrow in the inebriating cup. Let him observe the children
of such families and think of their future !
As this habit pervades all classes of society
he will not always find poverty, but he will
find anxiety and distfess in every home,
where any member of it is controlled by an
appet te for strong drink "

Remarks
f©lt> Stilts, 001.39.
of Edward A. Bond, Esq., at
of
tlir Fitnrr'il of Mr*. A. IK Newell
Boston, who died January ~d. ISSi?.
I have been naked to say a few words on
this occasion as one who knew our friend
at an earlier period than most of those who
have gathered here. It was my privilege to
know her during her residence at Honolulu,
at a time -vhich I believe she always looked
back upon as one of the most interesting
and one of the hippiest periods of her life.
The remark has often been made that
they who hive lived together at the Sandwich Islands seem to have a peculiarly
strong feeling of mutual interest, something
of clannishness. This is not strange. Aside
from the charm of a perfect climate and the
glorious mountain and ocean scenery which
th y have enjoyed together/ there was
something in the isolated position, especially in the early days of Mrs Newell's life
at the Islands that tended to draw people together. Her first voyage to Honolulu was
made on u small scaooner around the Hoin,
where for weeks and months she was shut
up with her husband and family. I do not
know whether it was the (act in her case, but
it nuv well have been, that she brought the
news of her own sailing, for the Island residents were often many inontt.s without tidi gs from home. The number of intelligent
right-minded men, was very small, and of
women, much smaller, and they were surrounded by the mtives who were only one
remove from heathenism and barbarism, and
by a cla?s of white men. who were as much
lower than then tives, as their much greater natural force could make them, No wonder then that that little comp .ny was closely
drawn together.
Our friend was a woman of positive character. She was strongly attached to that
form of Christian belief which she had early
accepted and in which she had grown up.
When therefore a young Minisrer of her own
faith had drifted »sit were out to Honolulu,
she save him a hearty welcome. Ther«j
were some otheres of the same wayof thinking, but th« must of the Americana about her
had left their country some years before,

TII I
when the spirit of controversy was rife, and
the denominational lines were very harply
drawn, and they h 'd been too much isolated
from the world,and too closely occupied with
practical Missionary wtwk, to review their
opinions In spirit and in practice they were
liberal, in doctrine they were far behind their
brethren at home.
For a few weeks a little company met
from week to week, in a very rude •• upper
chamber" of a warehouse to worship God
after the manner of their lathers. It was a
very pleasant season to them all, and to none
more so than to our friend these meetings
were brought to a sudden close by the illness

will never forget. Mrs Newell's sympathies
were not however, confined within any denominatiooal line. There was an eminently
Catholic spirit, as time went on, the marvellous growth of California and the increased
facilities for trade to tin? Pacific caused an
overflow of population to the Is ends. This
consisted largely of the Jick »nd th destitute. Many crossed to Honolulu in the hope
of recruiting powers already exhausted beyoud help, and found themselves dying in a
strange land. The good Father Damon who
always read his commission ns Seamen's
Chaplain, to cover every case when lie could
render help, found himself overwhelmed with
the care of these strangers. It was then that
the good women of Honolulu took up the
work, and formed themselves into a " Strangers' Friend Society." Our friend was one
of the founders, and the first President of
this Society, and so long as she remained in
the place her devotion and her tine executive
talent was its main support, as can well be
understood by those who have been her later
neighbors.
There is however, another reason why this
family have wished t• recall the Island life
of their loved one. To these children this is
in a certain sense a double memorial service,
and it has seemed to them meet that one
should take part in it. who had known and
held dear both Father and Mother.
It is a beautiful trait of our humanity
this universal desire to offer some parting
tribute to our loved ones, fefore we lay away
out of sight the earthly caskets which their
indwelling spirits Stnctified. No religion
worthy of the name has ever won any way
among men, that did not recognize and provide for this craving of our hearts. Too often these services are overlaid with ceremony or with an unchrisi ian gloom, but in their
inner meaning, they are very bemtiful
They are at once nlmphecy and proof of our

THE
Our
Chinese Sunday School.
CC.aiHiiui.ic.l^l.)
School, like some
other good things in Honolulu, was begun
under the auspice;' of the Y. M. C A., about
eight years ago, and like many other things,
afterwards of largi r proportions had a small
beginning. The School .pened wiih about
a dozen scholars They w-re mostly from
VI r. Dunscomb's evening school, mid were
then either regular attendants there or hud
been previously.
At the beginning, the
scholars were all adults. The teachers were
those men and women, or the larger boys
and girls, who felt glad to take up some good
work and had self-denial sufficient for this.
At first there was no r> gular >up riiuendent
but some* member of the Y M. C A. took
charge of the school by arrangement from
week to week. There could be little of general exercise at first, for nn one knew enough
of English to take part, except the teachers.
The school was always opened by prayer by
the superintendent, the Chinese devoutly
bowing the head in imitation of the teacher,
though they did not understand so much ns
the Amen of the prayer. I.i a~ little while
the scholars began to join in the simple
hymns sung, such as .lesus loves me, that
1 know." and ' There is a Happy Land."
Their singing was marvelous. The Chinaman carries his principle of •• quid pro quo "
into his singing. He is not going to skip or
hurry along because some other singer bsi
got ahead of him, but he means to g t the
full benefit of all hs exertions and every
word of the hymn. They have little idea o(
time, but each is for himself, and to be " bindermost," does not trouble him at all His
only idea is to attend to hit perlonnance
reg rd to his neighors. The singis a trial of gravity to the teachers The
faces of some of the Chinese are so solemn,
of others so distressed as though the
iiici ' hardly departed from them," and
iers look so doubtful about attempting a
rforni .ncp so birbarian to them, and on
; whole the sounds produced arc so fun, to keep the face straight requires selfcontrol and practice. At first there was no
book adapted to the pupil-. When a scholar

The Watchman, organ of the
C. A.of Chicago, for February, contains it long and interesting communication, from tho Rev. W. Bpeer, formerly Missionary in China :unl San
Francisco. He is thoroughly acquainted with Evangelistic work among the
Chinese. lie suggests that the Y. M.
C. Associations are the proper channels through which to operate among
the Chinese scattered abroad in the
United States.
The Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu has
for many years—ten at least — been engaged in this important work. It has
supported a Colporteur in Honolulu,
with remarkable success. Mr. Sit
Moon, for several years was its ageut
for evangelistic work among his countrymen. The following are Dr.Speer's
remarks ou i his subject
" In determining the host instrumentalities for the purpose it, would
uppear to be most appropriate and desirable that religious efforts in behalf
of the Chinese in the Quited States
should he performed through this general system of the Young Mens' Christian Associations. The reasons i'or
this are important. The organisations
:
of the associations exist
rft
probably in
all the cities and towns where the Chinese are establishing themselves.
They can work to an extent, and with
a facility, which is not practicable tv
denominational boards' and societies.
Their doctrinal articles embrace and
specially urge those fundamental and
precious truths and principles of Christianity which are most essential in instructing heathen strangers. Tl o conjoint efforts which they make relieve
] iaiticiil.ir ileiioininations*of pecuniary
requirements, which in some circumstances, would become to any of thetn
alone onerous. They can gather and
select from every source the interested
and patient teachers which art',needed
in large numbers for the peculiar individual form of instruction that is given in the Chinese Sunday Schools.
This kind of foreign missionary work
is one which is calculated to he greatly and variously blessed in imparting
spirituality and an elevuted and fervent character to the aims and operations of the general body of the Christian associations, by bringing them
the risen and reigning Redeemer. It
would give to an brganination which
represents the common Christianity,
and most of the religious bodies, of
the country more power in advocating
its claims upon the sympathies, prayers and support of their memberships.
And, finally, the adoption and maintenance of the Chinese work in the
United States as a whole by such an
organization would accomplish a most
important and desirable national object indefinitely arraying and pronouncing the Christian, enlightened and
liberal sentiment of the nation, upon
some of the great questions at issue
concerning this people."
The Language of China.
This is monosyllabic, and each word
expresses a complete idea or meaning.
The gender, number, and case of words
are
not
determined by the
form
of the words, but by tho addition
of other words. Thus, people in Chinese is multitude : son is man-child ;
daughter is woman-child. The best of
nun is in Chinese a hundred wan good.
The written character does not generally indicate the the word, but gives a
hieroglyphic representation of the
thing to he expressed. Hence, there
must be as many characters as there
are words to be expressed ; in all there
are about 60,000. The characters are
arranged in perpendicular columns,
which follow one another from right
to left.
Chinese writing is picture
writing, with the addition of a limited
11it ti i her of symbolic and conventional
signs; the linger number of Chinese
characters are formed by the combination of hieroglyphs and signs. "Native grammarians divide their characters into six classes. The first class
comprises simply pictorial representations of sensible objects, such as the
sun, moon, mountains, etc., and contains 608 characters. The second class
includes such characters as arc formed
by the combination of two or more
simple hieroglyphs, which together
convey, iv a more or less intelligible
manner, some other idea ; for example, hieroglyph for sun combined with
thut of moon, conveys the idea of Pght;
mouth and bird, that of song, etc., of
indicate certain relations of position ;
as above, below, the numerals, etc.; of
these there are 107. The fourth class
consists of characters which, by being
inverted, acquire an opposite signification ; as right, left, standing, lying,
etc., and contains oil. The characters of the fifth class are termed derived characters; the meaning of the simple or compound characters used to
express physical objects is transferred
to menial objects, or to other physical
objects with which they are associated,
C i/.. the hieroglyph for a heart signifies the soul ; that for a room, signifies
the wile, eta; of these there are o!*8.
The characters ol the sixth class include those which are composed, as
above mentioned, ofsign and sound.
Almost, all names of plants, fishes,
birds, nnd many oilier objects which
it would he dilictilt to represent hieroglyphically, are described by the compound characters of the sixth class,
which amount to li 1,810 in number.
As this class, however, consists merely of repetitions <>f the other five classes, the immense number of Chinese
characters may he reduced to 2,425 ;
and whoever learns these may be said
to know them all."
There is no dialect, that is common
to the whole of China, as English is
common to the whole United Stales,
but each of the eighteen provinces bus
its own dialect, so that it is frequently
very difficult to understand in one province if only the language of another
province is used. The foundation of
the written character is two hundred
nnd fourteen root characters, which it
is necessary t" learn in order to write
the language. The common dialects
tire not written, and the missionaries
have had great trouble in translating
the Scriptures into the common dialects from the want of characters.—

taught anything else '.'
Mother. They are t night to work, which
is about the only thing they are considered
good for. I nl >ed, a woman*, life in all heathen countries IS ■ hard ens at best. Among
the higher classes they are kept shut up in
the house most of the time, passing their
days in idleness; while among the poorer
classes they do all the rough, out door work,
and are treated mure like beasts of harden
than human beings,
Amy. I'oor things ;
Why do they treat
them so.
MoTHis. Because.they do not feel the
love and ri'sp \'t for wo nen there that they
do in Christian countries Indeed girls are
never Weli-nine in a family; and those parents
who have too ui.ny will either kill their little girl billies or give them tiway to get rid
ol the disgrace.
Amy. Do the Chinese women have very
small feet ?
MoTlir.it. The ladies of rank are required
to have small feet, as a mark of their gentility; but the working women all have large
feet.
II /.MY, How do they make their feet so
small ?
MOTUE. When quite young their feet are
bandaged very tight, with the toes pressed
under the font toward ihe heel, and kept in
that position until the feet are dead and stop
growing.
Amy. Don't it hurt them?
Motiikt. ft caUses them very gre it suffering, especially when the band aires are removed to have the fed washed and clean
cloths replaced. At such tunes they cty oat
in agony ; but such is the force of custom
and ttie dread of disgrace, that they would
rather endure the greatest pain than the
shame ol large feet when grown.
Amy. I shouldn't think they could walk
with such lit! c feet.
Mother. They cannot walk. Their feet
ure not larger than a child's four years eld
and they only hobble along in the myst awkward way. But then, us the Chinese lidies
sit so much in the house( and are carried in
39
n palanquin or chair by slaves when they go
.out, they have very little walking to do, andnever miss the use of their feet.
Harry. Do the Chinese
get drunk?
Motiikr. In their own eoiintjv the Chinese do not drink intoxicating liquors ; but
they smoke opium, which is quite as bid, if
not
worse.
How do they take it?
.Mni'iiLß. It is boiled until it become as
thick as molasses. Then a needle is thrust
in and twisted around until a ball is made
the shn ola pea. This is held in the flame
until healed, and then put in a little orifhe
in the t"p of the pipe.
Hakhy How dues it hurt them '.
MotiiKii. An opium smoker always reclines on a bed or bench when smoking, because it stupifies him and puts him to sleep.
Just as the drunkard is never satisfied uness under the influence of liquor, so the
o, ium-smoker never feels well or happy if he
is not under the influence of his favorite
drug. Indeed he becomes sick and miserable
and often suffers pain if he cannot get it.
He neglects his business, his property goes,
his family are reduced to want, and sometimes even sold, that he may have money
to buy opium. He becomes a total wreck,
mentally and physically, until death ends his
life here.
Amy. I am glad we do net live in n country where they do such dreadful things.
MOTES*. We should be careful not to
pride ourselves upon our superior goodness,
but rather feel thanklul that we live in a
Christian land, where the pure light of the
Gospel h:is kept away and made impossible
those dark heathenish customs and vices
which darken other lauds and degrade other
souls.
Harry. Don't the missionaries tell them
how wicked these things are ?
Mother Certainly and they are still
working faithfully among them. More than
700 good men and women are giving their
time in teaching and helping these people.
Nearly twenty thousand of them hnve been
converted, and are now living good Christian
lives ; but there are still a great in >ny who
have not heard of Jesus. We can do much,
not only by giving our money, but by praying for those who are laboring among the
heathen, that God would h dp and bless them
and soon send the day when the whole world
will know and love the Saviour who has
done so much for them.— The Gospel in all
Lands.

One point in connection with my early

future, that it serves to show that 100 much
importance cannot be placed upon the day
of small tilings, nnd with the hope and prayer lii.t my experience may be used to the
..•lore of God to young and aspiring seamen,
I feel imp-lied to give it.

of our Gtit*t* aml Visitor*.
From the almost entire »bsence of civil-
ized society, we hnve come now to enjoy the
fellowship of a community of families nnd
individuals equal, on an average, in intelligence, morality and refinement, to nny with
which lam acquainted In addition to the
three mission families who have been longest on the ground, there is around us a little
community of families of missionary descendants of the first and second generations.
The number of cultivated nnd scientific vis-
itors from other parts of the world is also increasing,
When in IStto we were stationed at Hid
a good brother missionary wept and condoled with us because of our banishment from
civilized society, our communications with
our friends so slow and uncertain But we
believod our destination was ordered of Ihe
Lord. The feeling of joy with which we
first hailed the sight of its beautiful harbor,
its fields of living green, its shining hils, has
never left us. And while we have tilled our
garden, saying, Letiis moral beauty outshine
its physical, and " its righteousness go forth
as brightness, and its salvation as a lamp
that burneth," we have found our life full ol
compensation.
I do not now regret a sojourn in "that
great and howling wilderness" of Patagonia,
or my perils on the sea nnd in the rivers; my
painful travels on foot over thousands of
miles, or my hungen ig and thirstings in cold
and heat, nor any suffering that the Lord
has laid upon me in His service. They all
seem light and momentary now, and there is
full compensation in the joy the Master has
granted me.
I hare spoken of the visits of seamen to

of God and spoke to him of the blood which
cleanseth from all sin. he exclaimed, ■' Can
it be possible that is for me— that I can be
saved ?" He came at last to trust, his despur fled, and in three days he died in peace
on the very day he had set for his departure
from earth. We buried him with tears, mid
thanksgiving to Him who •givelh us the victory.' There was primed on the slab that
marks the repose of bis morial part this
stanza, from one of his own poets.
" By foreign hands thy dyins <yen were cosed,
By foreign hands thy clav-eold iiintis composed,
By tondgn hands thy bnmblagnve'a adorned:
Ifv strangers honored and liv atmagem mourned."
A tender and grateful answer was received
to the letter written to his p.rents.

How vividly 1 remember one incident in
our tour! We were returning from Puna
over the highlands where, for fifteen miles,
there were no inhabitants. Our trail lay
through f rest and jungle and open fields of
wild grasses and rushes. We heard thac
atiout midway between the shore and an inland villnce there was n small grass hut buiit
by bird-catchers, but now abandoned. We
struck fur that and reached it a liitle before
sundown. Weent-red with our two native
burden-bearers and congratulated ourselves
on baring found a shelter for the coming
cold and rainy night. In less time than I
can write the story we began lo jump and

we saw ihem sprinkled thick wilh fleas,
ihnse terrible back-biters that never talk. We
ordered a hasty inarch and went on at doublequick through b sh and brake, scattering our

iff limbs of trees and made a little booth,
which we cov< red with "jnss and leaves, mid
then prepared wood for a fire.
Alas! we had no matches, ao lamp, no
candle. What next ?—One of our natives
took his po'e. which they call ihe uumho*
yoke, on which they carry burdens, nnd by
hard and rapid friction with another dry stick
he soon raised smoke and fire followed. At
nine P,.M it was a roaring fire at which we
dried ourselves, and when we hud eaten our
scnty supper, nnd offered up thanks to the
Lord we lay down to seep—or not to sleep
—as the i'se might be.
L«ng afier this Mr. Wm. T. Brigham. of
Boston, spent a senson with us and went
the same rounds with me. On this occasion
we visited a pn<u station upon the highlands
and in n deep forest. Here were about thrty or forty men nnd women employed ib
gathering the soft silky fern-down lor upholstery, and here ten miles from Kilnuea. we
saw the natives cook their food over hot
steam crack* without fuel. Near ihe volcano this is frequently done.

an entire stranger, but by his great inielligence, his urbanity, his noble figure, nnd his
gentlemanly address, he made an indellible
impression upon us. And this impression
was deepened by such a frank and affecting
tale of his life as rilled us with interest in
his behalf. His mmd was in such a slate
that his appetite and his sleep departed from
him. He occupied an upper room in our
house wnh n door opening upon a veranda,
which afforded a good and quiet promenade.
Often during many hours of the night we
could hear his foot-fulls as he paced to and
fro through the still watches. He was always with us at our morning and evening
hours of devotion, and he seemed to enter
earnestly into these exercises.
At length he could no longer restrain his

tale of sorrow. He began, saying; '■ I was

it confronts me by day, and what can I do?
Is there any hope for such a blood-stained

His plaintive story struck us dumb for a
while; our hearts were melted with sympathy; but presently we blessed the gracious
Lord for this opportunity. We saw his difficulty, that he was filled with " the sorrow
of the world which worketh death
He had
lab red in noony to Save himself, and the
cloud of despair grew thicker and darker over
him. I at once pointed him to ' The 1, ,mb

Responsibility of Wealth.
Some months ago we published the statethat a certain Boston shipowner would
allow
rum to be shipped as freight on
not
board his vessels. This was right and has
been highly commended. The principle involved is simply this, wealth has its lesponsibility. The announcement is made in
American pipers, that a certain rich man in
Norwich, Ct,, has devoted $1,000,000, to the
elevation and improvement of the Freedmen.
This is right and noble How much better
to do this before death conies and the money
is left to be wasted by litigation. We desire rich men and all possessing ihe means,
to expend a portion of their wealth while
they are alive.
We have our men of wealth on the Sandwich Islands, and it is our desire- to see these
men d vote their wealth 10 good and noble
Wealth has its responsibility

The owners of plantations nre morally responsible for the manner in which their plantations are conducted. We believe it is for
the interest of these plantations that owners
arid overseers, unite in giving encouragement to any effort for the moral and religous
welfare of their laborers, lv the first place,

who ought to be in school. Then native
pastors, foreign pastors and colporteurs
should be encouraged and supported. Proprietors of plantations should instruct their
overseers and superintend nils to give every
encouragement far the moral improvement of
their laborers. This work ought not to be left
to the Hawaiian BoirJ iind the Churches.
Hunters must not excuse themselves from
co-operating heartily in this work. It is for
their interest to do so.
We hear that on
some plantations work is done upon the
Sabbath, if not in the field, yet in the mill.
There, repairs are going on to be ready for
grinding on Monday. This is not right.
The laborer, the machinist, the engineer,
ought not to be required, or even, allowed to
work upon the Sabbath. There are interests of more importance than money or sugar.

now being mole in many of the Extern States, and it is with no moderate
degree of surpiise and shame that we
notice an effort on the part of our legislators
to break down our Sabbath Laws and open
places of amusement on the Hoy Sabbath.
We hope there is good sense and principle
sufficient among the members of the Legislature to frown down such n project lo
legalize wickedness We call upon all good
people of every sect and creed to put their
faces like a flint against this project on the
part of some to trample upon God's com-
It affords us pleasure again to welcome the
venerable Rev. A. A. Sturges, on bis return

mand to •' Remember

Sabbath and keep
it holy." Sabbath-breaking rum-selli'.g and
vice of all kind* belong to th" same class of
defiant and overt acts of wickedness tending
to demoralize the community and bring down
the displeasure of Heaven. Now is the time
for virtuous women and good men to speak
out and shame down these men who would
open the flood gates of sin and impurity,
crime and licentiousness upon our island
community. We cannot imagine that a majority of our Legislators are prepared to sanction a measure fnught with such untold

The Rev. A. S. Houston, preached last
Sabbath morning at the Betlu-1 from the
text, Exodus 14 15, " And toe Lord said
unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me '.'
Speak unto the children of Israel that they
go forward." It is refreshing and encouraging to know that as one generatio i after another appears, there are some who hear the
Master scomm md "Go forward." Mr Houston presented the idea in a striking manner.
It is pleasant to meet and heir young Missionaries whose motto is " Go forward." Most
heartily we bid them 'God Speed," as it has
been our privilege to do ihe same for their
predecessors, Djane, Pearson. Whitney.
Bingiam, Taylor and the Pioneers. "Go
forward.' is a good Watchword and rallying
cry, for all professing to be in sympathy with
Him who s .id •' Go ye into all the world and

A friend in Boston recently sent to our

much in the life and career of this distinguished son of New England, worthy of
study and reflection. We distinctly remember the intense excitement in the religious
circles of Boston and vicinity, when he resigned the Pastorate of the 2nd Church of
Boston nnd we Inive been mo:e or less familiar with his career us ibe Sage of Concord. His Lectires, Addresses and writings
hnve fallen under our notice and reading
No ono familiar with nil these utterances,
but must acknowledge bis great ability as «
Poet, Lecturer and Writer but it is pitiablp.
to contemplate the c reer of such a gifted
man of genius and ability, when he undertakes to build up n system of Philosophy
outside of Christianity, turning away irom
the Great Teacher.
A report went abroad some months ago,
upon the authority of the llev. Joseph Cook,
that Air. Emerson bad changed bis religious
views and in his advancing years, was veering around and becoming somewhat orthodox in his opinions, but in tins volume, this
repo.t is most emphatically denied, (see page
364) over the signature of bis sou Edward
Waldo Emerson.
As a Lecturer, Mr. Emerson bad bot few
equals. lie was a sirong sntl slavery man
end in many reforms has done eminent
service For forty years he has been making for himself a name an I place in the history of literature and philosophy, but we re
mistaken, if it does not r<*i|tiire the next for
ty years to define that position. One thing
is proved certain, it is a position outside
Christianity, for he utterly ignores the idea
of building up bis system ol Pnilosophy upon the Bible. In regard lo Emerson anil his
followers, we can most npily quote the language of Moses in Dent ronomy 32, 31.
' For their rock is not our rock, even our
enemies themselves being judges."
While writing thus, we canot refrain from
adding that in the Essays, Lectures nnd
other writings of Mr E i merson. there is a
large supply of charming rending. Perhaps
no American Author has n better command
of the English lunouace or a wider range of
illustration. His writings have, and will
continue to have n wide influence on both

Some years ago tlier- resiJ j.l in Honolulu, an American Consul possessed of much
shrewdness and a goodly shire of in olicr
wit. On a certain occasion, the cue of a
man wis brought to hi) notice wao was
much inclined tv dr nk. The Consul's advice was •ought. His reply wis, I would

to her kindness for this number of the Century. Her visit to the Islands will be remembered by many, She is the friend of
•'Miss Bird,'' now Mrs. Bishop. The subject
here discussed is both interesting and important.
Oiling the Waves—a Safeguard in Tempest.
In the course of many wanderings in many
lands, I have repeatedly had occasion
to
no-
tice the action of oil in smoothing the surface of troubled water, and have marvelled
that we should hear so much of its use, and
yet continue to act as if it were wholly a fiction.
It is now many yenrs since 1 first endeavoured to call public attention to the simple
precaution which, lying within the reach of
all, might prove so invaluable a safeguard to
all seafaring men. especially suggesting that
a few extra kegs of oil should be considered part of the nece.sary equipment of every
boat that plies its trade along our rocky and
billowy shores.*
In our schoolroom days we learnt how
Pliny had remarked that all seas are made
calme and still with oyle. and therefore the
'
dyvers do spurt it abroad with their mouths
into the water, because it dulceth the nature
there of, and carrieth n light with it;' and in
later years it seemed a remarkable confirmation of his words to find that the divers of
the Mediterranean actually do spurt oil in
the manner he described, in order to clear
the light under the surface of the water, by
the stillness so caused.
The hardy Shetland men are a race of
bold fishers, and seek their harvest far away
in the deep sea, sometimes rowing forty or
fifty miles ere they reach the best fishinggrounds, in boats so small and light, that a
good haul soon overweights them. Yet in
these they face the fiercest storms and most
treacherous currents. The worst dangers
await them as they near home, for there are
certain points where the currents meet, and
headlands, offwhich the sea is always tempestuous, while, in the straits between the
islands, the tide rushes in an impetuous
flood, more like a rapid raging river than like
a well-regulated ebb and flow. .However
calm may be the outer sea. these headlong
sea-rivers are always tumultuous, breaking
in crested billows, and marking their course
by a pathway of foam, extending for miles
out to sea.
Even in calm weather it is rarely c rsidered safe to cross these currents at high tide,
and the experienced fishers lie offtill it slackens. But when, homeward-bound and heavily laden, they encounter foul weather, and
are compelled to face these furious tideways,
then in truth they have to encounter such
safety by sacrificing part
their hardly earned cargo. Cutting open
their fish (chiefly cod nd ling), they te >r out
*
the livers and, after crushing
them to free
the oil, throw them overboard on every side,
and immediately, as if by a miracle, the mad
raging of the waters is allayed. In one moment a film of oil overspreads the surface,
and though the great waves still heave nnd
roll, they are spell-bound and cannot break,
and the little boat which but a few seconds
before was iv imminent danger of being
sw.mped now rides securely on the smooth
green billows, which from that moment have
become powerless to work mischief.
The idea which the Shetland islmders
and St Kildians thus worked ont for themselves had already presented itself to other
men siring on the great waters. About the
middle of the last century the attention of
the great Dr Franklin was called to the subject by a letter from a gentleman who told
bow, during a stormy vny ge on a Dutch
ship, the captain, in order to prevent the
waves from breaking over the vessel poured
a small quantity of olive oil into the
se> a little at a time, not more th-n four
quirts altogether—arid so effectual did this
prove that the writer suggested that surely
the same simnle means might be made
greater use of. were it only generally known.
Dr. Franklin also observed that whenever
whaling vessels were lying in New-I'ort Harbour (Massachusetts) the w..ter was always
smooth on account of the le -kage of blubber.
He accordingly tried sundry experiments to
test the working of this phenomenon. On a
stormy d y he went to a large pond which
was so much exposed to the wind as to form
waves and on these he sprinkled a small
quantity of oil. At first he took up a position
to leeward, but observed that though the oil
instantly spread in all directions, it could
not work effectually against the wind, as it
was quickly driven back to the shore. So
he went round the pond to windward, where
he found that one teaspoonful produced an
instant calm over a considerable space, and,
spreading rapidly, soon made an oily film
over an extent of nt least half an acre, which
became as smooth as a looking glass. One
drop of oil forms a film of about four feet in
purchase
—
circumference.
Thus in Chambers Jourual, August 10,
1869, they quote a statement from the New
York shipping list for 1807. where an experienced shipmaster deposes that he has
twice saved the vessel under his command
by oiling the sea. In one awful gale he lost
all his sails and the rudder, and knew that
his ship could not have ridden the storm for
another hour but for this blessed safeguard.
He had five gallons of oil, equal to about
thirty quart bottles, which he started over
the side of the vessel to windward, allowing
it to drip slowly. This lasted fifty-six hours,
and, though the waves still heaved tumultously, the water was smooth, and the ves-

full,
ready for emergencies
Very noteworthy is the evidence of Captain Betts of the King Cenric, running from
Liverpool to Bombay with coals. He ran
into a heavy gale which raped furiously for
five days. Happily the chief officer had seen
oil-b>gs profitably used during storms in the
Atlantic, and bethought him of applying the
lesson so he got two canvass clothes-bags,
and poured two gallons of common pine-oil
in o each. Having slightly punctured the
bags, hung one over each side of the vessel,
towing them along. The effect produced
was magical. The wav-s which had been
breaking over the vessel, causing her tremendous shocks, now broke at the distance
of many yards, while all around the ship,
and in her wake, lay a wide belt of perfectly
smooth water. The crew were thus enabled
to repair damages, and were relieved from
this most imminent danger.
The oil in the lugs lasted for two days,by
which time the worst fury of the storm was
over, and there w*s no occsion to renew
the supply. So, the expenditure of about
thirty shillings' worth of oil was the means
of probably saving a valuable ship with its
cargo, and many precious lives.
In the summer following the publication
of these statistics, Mr. Chamber h.nl the
great satisfaction of receiving a letter from
H. B. M.'s Consul at Wilmington North
Carolina, containing the deposition of Captain Richardson, master of a brigantine just
arrived from Bristol.
She h-d been overtaken off Bermuda by a he-ivy gale, which
increased to a hurricane, and blew for thirty-six hours, during which the ship was seriously damaged. Happily Captain Richardson had seen the article quoted above, and
it occurred to him to try the experiment.
So he prep red one canvass bug, holding
about three quarts of kerosene oil; this he
pierced with small holes, with his penknife,
and, having attached it to a six-fathom rope,
he kept it trailing to windward, and found
that the toppling seas no longer broke, nnd
the vessel was en bled to ride out the gale
which was the most fearful ever witnessed
by thosp on board. He considered th t the
safety of the vessel w-s due to the use ot
the oil, and recommended others in like danger to prepare six-gallon canvus baps, and to
enlarge the holes after awhile, the texture of
the canvas becoming closer as it swells with
wetting.
Quite recently, Mr. Chambers has received further details of cases in which the crews
of wrecked vessels have undoubtedly owed
their lives to thus casting oil on the stormvexed waves. One case w»s that of the
screw-steamer Diamond of Dundee, recently
wrecked on the island of Anholt Her chief
mate says he had often heard of the effect of
oil in preventing the sea from breaking, and
especially recalled its use in the case of a
whaler in the South Seas, whose crew had
given up all hope of saving her, when some
oil casks were accidentally crushed, with the
extraordinary result that not another wave
broke over her.
�Till: FRIEND.
Though the casting of oil on troubled waters
h i| been so persistently regarded merely as a poetical figure of speech, notes of its
actual use have occasionally appeared in
books of travel. For instance, it has long
been known that when the fishermen of Lisbon find the surf on the bar of the Tagus unusuilly rough, they empty a bottle or two of
oil into the sea and thereby smooth the
waves so effectually that they can pass the
breakers in safety. But no one ever tO'k
that hint as the embryo of some grand
scheme for overcoming the horrors of landing in the surf at M dr s, or at many another port where traffic is endangered by the
fierceness of the breakers.
The captain of a steamer writes that, some
months ago, he encountered a heavy gale in
the Bay of Biscay. Several ste mers were
lost, and his own vessel was in danger waves
breaking over her with great violence. He
h d two canvas bags m>de, c eh to contain
a quart of common lamp oil. The bags were
punctured, and hung over each bow, with
sufficient line to let them tow freely. The
result was most satisfactory Scarcely a
sea c i trie on board, each wave as it reached
the oil ceasing to curl, and undulating past
the ship without a break. The oil in each
bag lasted eight hours. On the following
voyage he was compelled to put the muter
to a still more practical test, and the result
surpassed his most sanguine expeditions.
He says:
'• I was compelled to abindon my vessel
at midnight. There was a heavy sea, and
though the boats were provisioned, aud in
readiness lor lowering, the sea which was
running alongside and breaking over the ship
made me douht the possibility of the boats
ever living in it, even if the difficulty of
launching them was overcome.
I caused two tins of common Lmp oil. each
containing about two pallons, to be emptied,
one over each side; and after giving it time
to diffuse itse f over the water, the bo ts
were lowered, and steered clear of the sinking ship, without shippingso m eh asa bucketful of water. The waves were still towering thirty or forty leet above us butwithoat
a breaker or a white-toppid one among them;
while ahe d and astern they were breaking

we owe our lives to the use of oil, and trust
that it may ere long be recognized as an efficient aid in saving life at sea."

Power of Kindness.-In Kindness—In the remarks of
»c Rev. A A. Sturges, in the Bethel Pulit, on Sabbath morning, June 11th, he dwelt
pon the influence and power of kindness in
is Missionary labors among the Micronesins. He found those poor degraded people
f Ponape, very much resembling the refined
lhabltants of Athens in the days of Paul,
too superstitious," or according to the Reision ''somewhat superstitious." Mr. Stures approached them with kindness and we
now the result. Kindness won the bittle
just as it always will, and just according to
our Saviour's teachings.
We were reminded of the remarks of Mr.
JULY.
Sturges, when reading .he following parafound in a letter written by the Rev.
E. T. Doane, another Micronesi*n Missionary, and dated Ponape, April 18, 1882.
"lam well—hard at work. The good
work prospers slowly. Letters just received
from the West tell of progress all through
the Mortlock Group. News came from Ruk
of the death of Mr. Hirtman once in the
Fiji I*l nils, then in Strong's Island then in
Ruk, the only white man there. He had a
desire to get influence with the high chiefs,
—joins tnem in their way and himself shot
down natives. A high chief told him he
should not take part in their quarrels, because
he was a white man. But he disregarded
the advice. So one day he was allured along
side of a canoe, being asked if he did not
want some cocoanuts. As he leaned over to
look into the canoe, a Urge knife cleft his
head and he fe 1 into the sea a ded man.
A son nearly perished, beinc; speared, but he
escaped to the Mortlocks. So it is with those
"Wanderers." bringing upon themselves destruction by their own conduct, rather than
suffering by the savages! JCindness will
lead one all through this Island world,
and not a h>ir of his head be touched Such
at least h»s been my experience, and that of
many others for 30 years."
A partial acquaintance with the rough affairs of Polynesia, will convince one that the
Bible saying is as true now as when first uttered 4000 years ago, " Whoso sheddeth
man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed."
The sad end of Capt. Hayes and many more
fully corroborite this saying.

Sailing of the Morning Star.
Oft as we have witnessed the sailing of
our little Missionary vessel, yet it is a sight
which has not lost its beauty and charm.
Many other vessels, men of war, merch nt
rhips, steamers, and all sorts of sea-going
vessels are continu illy going forth, but after
all, the little Morning Star outshines them
all. Why? They are of the 'earth
earthy." but the Morning Star is the symbol
of a grand, heavenly and noble idea. She
goes forth as the Herald of Salvation. The
poet Tappan caught the idea when he
wrote:
'Tis brave to see a gallant ship,
With snowy pinions, fly
Across the ocean, like a bird,
Beneath a pleusunt sky.
'Tis brave to think what precious things
Are heaped up in her hold.—
What goodly merchandize she brings,
And jewelry and gold.
Yet braver sight I deem it is,
Aud goodlier, when a ship,
With Mercy's bernlda, doth her wing
In yonder waters dip,—
A burden bearing, richer far
Than gold, or cunning gem,—
Yea, wafting tidings of the star
That shines from Belhle hem!
And when upon each isle, the Cross
Is reared to happy men,
We will not dwell on farewell tears,
Iv memory's sadness'then.

"What Think Ye of Christ?"
What think ye Of Christ? is the test,
To try both yoor state and your scheme:
Yon cannot be right in the rest
Unlesa you think rightly of him.
As Jesus appeurs in your view,
As He is beloved or not;
So Clod is disposed to you,
Aud mercy or wrath ia your lot.
Some take him a creature to be,
A man, or an angel at most;
Sure these hnve no feelings alike,
Nor know themselves wretched and lost;
So guilty, bo helpless am I,
I dare not confide in his blood.
Nor on his protection rely,
Unless I am sure He is God.
Some call him a Savior in word,
Hut mix their own works with his plan;
And hope he bis help will afford,
When they have done all that they cau,
If doings prove rather too light—
A little they own they may failTiny purpose to make up full weight,
Ity casting bis name iv the scale.
Some style him the peiul of great price,
Aud say he's the fountain of Joya;
Yet feed upon folly and vice,
Aud cleave to the world and its toys;
Like Judas, the Savior they kiss,
And while they Kalute him, betray;
Ah! what will profession like this
Avail in his terrible day?
If asked what of Jesus I think,
Though still my best thoughts are but poor,
I say, He's my meat and my drink.
My life, and my strength, and my store;
My Shepherd, my Husband, my Friend,
My Savior from sin and from thrall,
My hope from begiuniug to end,
My portion, my Lord, and my all.

long »nd useful career as a Bishop of the
Catholic Church, on the Islands, is now terminated, arid he passed away with every

and the universil respect of our Island community. We shall not meet him in his visits among his people, or see him as be walks

created a Bishop in 1847. He was born in

ebr ted at Waimea. We have not learned
in whit form this Anniversiry is to take
shape but this we feel confident in savin?,
that H .waiians fr.iin Mi* Majesty to Ins
humblest subject could not celebrate in eveni
more worthy of commendation In old Grecian times, the crowned poet returned from
Olympia to be honored in his n tive village,
but here we have » poet who his been composing and translating hymns for Hawaiian*
for a half Century ! He may not rnk with
Emerson and Longfellow and yet we may
be mistaken, perh ps in his peculiar spiritu ,I
sphere, he ranks superior! They wro'e.but
not specially to aid religious devotion. whiLhis songs have found their way to the he rts
ofaH Hawiiinns *lt4ighting in the worship
of the one only living and true God, aud until the "Last '1 w >linn" shall disappe r from
the«e Isles of the Sea ' the Songs of Lyons
of Waimea" will be sung. Let him then
ere he dep rts, be assured by old nd young.
from Niihm to Hawaii, that his name will
be kept in most grateful remembrance, and
when he departs (far be the day) fresh laurels shall be spread upon his grave.

let tbem come near, then let them

let
us come near together to judge•pen

We have in this nnd the preceding chapter words of comfort and encouragement for
God's people. The centrnl truth taught is,
that God will prelect and help them that are
His. The object is lo le.d the servants of
God to put confidence in Him whom they
serve, and to labor with some hope of success. The conception of the prophet in
this Chapter is that a gre.t tribunal before
which the gre»t issues in question are to be.
tried, and the decision rendered, whether or
not God is stronger thiiti Hisenemies. The
challenge is in dc to all opposed, to bring out
their strongest objections, and to God's own
people to present strongest grounds for doubt
and discouragement. God would not have
His servants shut their eyes to the difficulties

hsve them carefully weigh them all, and
then listen to what He has to say about them,
and consider well whether or not He is able
strength;
to
give them success.
We meet to-dny to talk and think about
the home field > nd home work of the Hawaiinn Board. The field is peculiar and the
work is difficult.
(1.) Let us take a glnnce, first at the field
itself. There ore 40,(100 Hawaiians, about
12,000 Chinese and about 5 000 of other
and the nim of the Board is to
ach all.
(2.) The work that needs to be done, first
all the salvation of souls.
This means more than simply sending an
rangelist tin a tour over these Islands to
conduct revival services for a few months.
It means providing the Churches with suitable pastors, and then for the sustaining of the
Theological Seminary in this City. It means
bearing this work upon our hearts, doing all
all we can to uphold and encourage it. 2d.
This people need <o be properly educated,
nd trained, and that means more thun aimply teaching them to speak and read English. They should be taught to bear the responsibilities of life. They need to learn to
work. They must be taught the trades that
when they go out from the Schools they
•hall be fitted to take up some specific work.
(3.) Let us now glance at the difficulties
in the way of carrying on this work, and
the Ist and greatest of all is human sinfulness The carnul mind is in enmity against
God the world over. 2d, the peculiar habits
(itonalites,
•
and superstitions of the people.
3d. the dc.

tells us that " In the Jiigiinu'iig Ood created the heavens and the earth." but it does

Rev. T. Coan's Sermon,
The Foreign Missionary Sermon, before
the Hawaiian Evnngelical Society, was
preached in Fort Street Church, Sabbath
evening. June 11 th, by the Rev. T. Coan of
Hilo. Text, Psalms 119:130. " The Entrance of thy word giveth light
The following is an outline of the sermon,
which we publish, as our limits will not allow its full report;
The Beauty. Power and effects of Physical Light its manifold revelations, its amazing velocity of 192,000 miles per second,
"
—
etc.
Itsfigurative use, representing Knowledge. Truth, Goodness, Purity, Wisdom,
Usefulness, Love- Its Aj>plieutioii to the
Bible, the Divine Law, to God, to Christ,
and to Christian Life.
I. The Bible reveals lo man the only Living and True God. His Attributes nnd
Character, as Self- Existent. Eternal, Un-
changeable. Omniscient, Omnipresent, Almighty, Infinite in Wisdom. Justice,
Truth, Goodness, Holiness and Love.
"And lo! f'reo itm inrlfitnl in nnnr'it rierr!
" Who could have thought such darkness lay concealed.
Within th;/ beam*. 0! Stoi! or who could find
lly and leaf and insect stood revealed,
Whilst
"
"That to such countless orbs Hum pnatfa* IM blind.
"
The Bible nlone reveals to mn a perfect
Low as a rub of life for all men in m|| ages,
and for nil time.
All wise and wholesome laws partake
largely of the spirit of Divine love, and when
legisl tors and rulers ignore the pure principles of the word of God they are sure to see
trouble,
Y. The Bible gives >is\the only reliable
information we have of the creation of
man. antl of the introduction of sin into
the world There only we are told the sad
story "Of man's first disobedience," etc.
And there only we h.ve the first divine saying of a promised Savior. •' The seed of the
woman sh II bruise the serpent s head."
VI. Next comes the his'ory of man's madness, of the «wful flood, of the scattered lights
of P.ttrinrchs and Prophets, of the herald
John B plist. and next the sending forth of
the full orbed sun of Righteousness, the
Christ, of his life, teachings, »nd last great
command to preach the glad tidings to «ll
peoples of the earth. *nd of I is death, resurrection and itscenslon to His eternal home
in the heavens.
VII. And finally the applicttion of the
subject showing the duty and the privilege
of permitting the Light of Life to enter our
hearts, the danger and madness of closing
the doors end windows of our souls against
the light of heaven, ana
Next the solemn obligation to send this
light, the Gospel, to all peoples, by prayer,
by gifts ■<n<\ by going in person until the
whole earth shall be filled with the Light
and the Glory of God. When Wars. Oppression. Idolatry, Ignorance and selfishness shall
cease, ' The New Jerusalem come down
to eauh. and God's tabernacle be with men.
Encouragements were considered from the
rpid circulation of the Scriptures, from the
open gates of China, J■p n. India. Africa,
and of nil nations with exhortations to
personal love and activity, und especially
to open our arms and hearts to the coming Chinamen, whom ihe Lord is sending to us for reception and instruction, and
to avoid the unreciprocsl, the inhuman and
unchristian example of California in their
abuse of the rights of fraternity and of hu-

Who Pays the Taxes.

the Asssembly on Tuesd y, being a "Table

numbers and amounts fir each Island nnd
district are separ tely enumerited, nnd the

are respectively as follows:

went on to Koloa. Just as wo approached this place,
we met a company of prisoners, who were at work
upon the road. A number <>f these were Chinese,
and we exchanged a few friendly words with Ihem.
Some days afterwards, on returning, I was pleased
to see how cordially they grootod us. There are not
very many Chinamen in this vicinity. Still, however, at the evening service in the Koloa Church, a
company of forty or ho wire in attendance, it was
pleasant to have with ns also, the veteran Misairnarv, Uev. Dr. Smith, who takes such a warm and setive interest in the work among the Chinese. A
number of the Chinoso oaine quite a distance from
thoir homes in a neighbouring valley, showing that
they had a friendly feeling. From Koloa our way
lay along the South side of the Island as far its W'aimea.
All nlong the way were scattered Chinese houses,
so that we had frequent stops to make. At Keels'
we held an evening service with the Chinese working on the plantation. Then followed the beautiful Hanapope valley, where thorc are a huge number of Chinese rice growers. A busy Saturday was
spent in the Waimea valley, fording the re or,
which rashes over great boulders. This is ono
of the most beautifully tropical spots on tho
Islands.
The Chinese havo found ther wav quite
up to the head of the winding valley, and after visiting one house, it always seemed as if there was
just one moro beyond. In the evening we visited
the Kekaha plantation and gathered a few together

tour of tho Island. In closing these hasti-
ly written notes, I desire most earnestly to call upon Christian friends to pray that the seed sown may
spring up Jo the glory of Ood; that our young colporteur may be strengthened and guided in his
work, and that a blessing may rest upon his labors
and upon all efforts pnt forth by Christians, in behalf of this heathen people. There are difficulties,
great and manifold, trials and discouragements tun
a few, but this is the Lord's work and if we are
working on His side, wo have all reason to press
hopefully forward. I regret espocially to see what
a strong hold the Chinese secret society, the "Triad
Organisation," lias on Kauai; it is a great hindrance to Christian work. When will our Government take energetically in hand the task of investigating and suppressing this baneful association?
I have abundant reason to speak with hearty
gratitude ot the kindness and generous hospitality I
experienced at every point. Some of the best friends
of the Chinese Mission cause, are to be fnnnd on
Kauai, and their cordial sympathy, so sincerely
manifested, is at once a comfort and stimulus to
farther effort.

In regard to Oahu College, nuropini* n has

We were dad to hear a class of some t»n
:itid more pupils in Latin, at the Fort Street
School. Oahu College must keep a sharp
look-out, rr there will be a larger number
studying the language of old Home in the
Public School t-ian there is in the College!
One feature is manifested in all our school',
but especially in that of Fort Street Schools,
there is a blending of different races and nationalities. In this school, we noticed in one
class, if we mistake not. it W'S the Latin
class, a pu'e Hawaiian reciting alongside of
a pure Chnese and by their side, sat equally
pure representatives of several European Nations, Portuguese, Knglish, Norwegians,
while othcis m ght be arranged along th*
vanishing color-line This was gratifying,
helievine as we do, that God hath made of
one blood a'l the natons of the earth. We
do not think there is any pirt of the world
where race-prejudice is less appirent than
upon these Islands. We hope it may never
be more apparent than now, and why should
it not die out, under the ameliorating influences of a religion, founded upon the teachings <>f Him, although born a Jew yet rising above all Jewish or Koman prejudices,
and recognizing man as man?
In our Christian schools, we desire to see
all nationalities and races educated upon a
common level or common basis. If there is
any part of the world where this experiment
may be happily tried, it is upon these Hawaiian Islands. Here, let the oriental and
occidental vie w.th each other, in the race up
the rugged hill of science and knowledge,
and if they can study sitting on the same
benches with the Polynesian so much the
better. We believe in giving all a fair
chance, and holding out encouragement to
all alike. We think our schools, in Honolulu, of various trades are now doing this
good work. All honor to the noble band of
male and female teach rs who are now engaged in this good and noble work They

The favorite hynn:, "All bail the power
of Jesu's name," was undoubtedly written by Edward Perronet, the son of the
Rev. Vincent Perronet. If.A., who was
for more than fifty years the Vicar of
Shorehain, in Kent, ami so closely associated with the Weelejfl and their work
that Charles Wesleya called him "the
Arch-Bishop of the .Methodists." It has
been ascribed to Shrnbsole, who was for
many years organist of Spufields Chapel,
London but the error probably arose
from his baring composed the tune of
"Miles' Lane.'' especially to suit the
:
metre, and
be
sung with it.
The full poem is coiuained !n Edward
Perronet's collection of original pieces,
published in London in 1783, entitled
'■Occasional Verses. Moral and .Sacred,
published for the instruction and amusement of the candidly serious and religious." The hymn first appeared without signature in 1780, in tho Gospel
Jll'if/iiziiie. It has attained n world-wWe
celebrity, and there is hardly n large
collection of hymns in which it does not
appear ; it is a great favorite in America.
Yet it iseommonlv known in ;m abridged
form, and, like many another production,
has received various alterations in course
of republication. The hymn lias attained so wide a popularity that our
readers may Le interested in the original
version. It bears tho title,
ON THE KESIURECTION."

The time has come when the Chinese should

There is one point that ought to be im-

Hia Excellency, on the third readin ; of the

His Excellency said that on the second reading
oi the bill, the item for Chinese Interpreter and
translations, $13,000, had been only partially
accepted by the House—the snm of SIMOO being
voted for an interpreter, but the provision intended for translations had been rejected. He
felt that better information would enable Honorable members to look at the matter in ■ more
favorable light. It had beeu urged that the
provision for an interpreter was sufficient, but
he begged t' say that interpretation and translation differed, and required different degress of
skill. The Assembly recognized iv their worthy
"interpreter Wilcox, a ready and fluent adept iv
the oral interpretation of the Hawaiian language; but he Mr. Wilcox was ready to ad.nit,
he believed, that ho was not equally adept in the
matter of written translation. Than we have
a well qualified Chinese interpreter officiating in
oar Courts of Justice; but he is not a competent
translator, and could not render out laws or important official documents into the appropriate
character of Chinese official language. But there
is a gentleman recently arrived iv the country,
who ia eminently qualified to render this important service;— Dr. McCartee, a resident for
thirty years in China—long employed in the official service of that great Empire, and who has
some claims upon the consideration of the Government of Hia Majesty. When Mr. Carter, our
Minister Plenipotentiary, now in Enrope, was
in Washington city, he wrote to Dr. McCartee,
requesting an interview, and subsequently gave
him assurances that his services as a Chinese
translator might be required by thia Government
and at a later date the late Minister Wm. N.
Armstrong, wrote to Dr. McCartee, and hence
this gentleman's arrival in the country. He has
enjoyed superior rank and pay in China, more

Full many a heart enfolding ;
And many u man leapi up to hoar

United States, at Chester, N. H., East Hampton, Mass., and Phillips Academy, M»ss.,
and also at Williams College and Cambridge
Law School. As an Editor and Soldier, Lawyer and citizen, and also as Police Judge in
Honolulu, he acquitted himself with much
credit, but he especially commended himself
to our esteem when sickness and disease,
compelled him to give up nnd retire from
professional labors. When henlth abounds,
business prospers and the world looks bright,
a man may acquit himself honorably, but
when disappointment overtakes him and life
is a burden, 'how then?'' It wsa under
such circumstances, that our friend, appears
to the best sdvantage—gentle, kind, uncomplaining. He found a welcome home in the
family of Mr. George Wilcox, Lihue. Kauai,
where we last saw and conversed with him.
We cannot refrain from alluding to one
method of passing his time, in which we do
not imagine, he will have many imitators or
followers. We refer to his spending months
on Molokai and other Islands of the gronp,
preaching and laboring among the Hawaiians
living along the seashore, lar away from
towns or villages, and vhile thus searching
out the people, spending a portiotrof his
time collecting th t peculiar speciea of seamosses known as Algm, and sending the
same to be further examined by learned Botanists at Cambridge, Mass, and elsewhere.

is peculiarly fascinating to persons fond of
Puritan history, New EngUnd theological
opini' ns, and a philosophy culminating in
the Concord school.
While we are writing, another upheaval
in New England thought and lile is displayed in the appointment of a successor to
Professor Parke of Andover. The end is
not yet. We look for the news of the next
phase of the controversy with almost as
much interest as we do the telegrams from
Egypt. To understand the Andover controversy, the history of the Concord School
needs to be studied. Such books as the one
now lying before us are important in showing the progress of theological opinions in
New England, hence we return our sincere
thanks to the gentleman who has so kindly
laid it upon our table.
Pounds for Bacchus—Pennies for Christ.
Some days since the editor met a mechanic near a liquor saloon, and said to
him: •' How is it that you can. work so
hard to support such establishments? Do
you not give a third part of your wages for
their support?" His reply was: ''More
than that." He then went on to say, that
for 21 years he had bjen a laborer in Honolulu, and tul'y one-half of his wages had
gone for liquor, hence he admitted that over
110,000 h.d gone for rum. or 8500 per an
num for Bacchus!
There are but few professing Christians
in this city who can say that, for twenty
years, they have given annually $500 for
the support of the Gospel. Tell us who is
the one man that has done it! Hence we
say, ' Pounds for Bacchus and pennies tor

laboring man uiid merchants, which derive a
revenue exceeding the total cost for supporting both '• Fort-street Church" and the

for benevolent enterprises. If our business
men, planters, and others would thus set
apart a tenth, or thereabouts, for these purposes, then our " churches " '• Young Men's
Christian associ tions," "missionary societies." and other benevolent enterprises,
would not so often become bankrupt.
The Trustees of '• Oahu College," " Young

objects are culling for fund.. Men, acting
upon principle ought to be ready to lend a
helping hand, without being urged. The
real value of a gift is enhanced by the generous spirit which urges forward the donor.
Some men in making their donations, do
it so grudgingly, that what they do give
loses half its value. There are rich men
who ought to give liberally for the generous
support of all these good objects, but when
they are asked to give, it is done most reluctantly. The solicitor feels more like
giving it himself than even approaching one
of these curmudgeons.
American Artisans.
A writer in Chambers' Journal, speaking
of American workmen, says : What I have
said of the building tr dcs applies to all
others. Indeed the higher dexterity, taste
and skill a business requires, the more does
the American workman respond to the demand. The plasticity of type to which I
have referred is nowhere seen so plainly
as in the domain of the useful arts. Germans and Frenchmen have given a finish to
American manufactures that is wanting
in our own. Besides there is a native
neatness, the result of a high ideal of excellence. This matter deserves the attention of British manufacturers who are
looking many markets simply fr.im the
clumsiness of their goods. There is rising
in the United States a race of artists, designers
and artificers who promise to surpiss those

that is both novel and exalted; the possibilities of we«lth are vastly beyond those of

art. It is seen in the gorgeous public buildings, in the exquisite villas, in the light yet
strong furniture, in the beautiful appointments of the drawing-rooms and table equipages ; while every American lady, yea,
though black, is living evidence of innate
taste in dress that makes the English suffer
by contrast. Into every avenue of life this
characteristic of taste goes, modifying manners and behavior as much as architecture.
The tendency in the community at large
is to support churches, colleges, missionary
societies, and various other benevolent enterprises, by voluntary contributions. Now
we argue that professing Christians and
others should allow the support of these enterprises to be viewed as a part of their
business in life. In estimating their expenditures for the year, benevolent enterprises
should form a part of their out-goes. Some furniture, dress, ornaments and tools."

Cup.
There is grief in the cup!
I saw a proud mother set wine on the board ;
The eyes of her son sparkled bright as she poured
The ruddy stream into the glass in his hand.
The cup was of silver ; the lady was grand
In her satins and laces ; her proud heart was glad
In the love of her fair, noble son ; but oh ! sad,
Oh I so sad, a year had passed by.
And the soft light had gone from her beautiful eye.
For the boy that she lovod, with a love strong as
death,
In the chill hour of morn, with a drunkard's foul
breath,
And the drunkard's ftcrco oath, reeled and stagnant his way
To his home,—a dark blot on the face of the day.
There is shame in the cup !
The tempter said, "Drink!" and a fair maiden
quaffod
Till her cheeks glowed the hue of the dangerous
draught;
The voice of the tempter spoke low in her ear
Words that once would have started the quick, angry tear;
Hut wine blunts the conscience, and wine dulls the
brain.
She listened and smiled, and ho whispered again ;
He lifted the goblet; " Once more," he said
•Drink!"
And the soul of the maiden was lost in the brink.
There is death in the cup !
A man in God's imn"e, noble, and grand.
With talents that ei-atviiud him a prince of the
land,
Bip]ied the ruddy led win.- ripped it lightly at
first.
Until from its chains broke the demon of thirst;
And thirst liecame master, and man liecame slave,
And he endod his life in the drunkard'spoor grave ;
Wealth, fame, talents. Isjanty, and life swallowed
up.
Grief, shame, death, destruction are all m the cup.
"I want to Give, but I do not want my
Name to Appear."
No doubt there are such persons whose
modesty would be shocked to see their names

THE rRI I N I>.
Rev. Joseph Cook in Japan.
The Rev. Mr. Ballngh, an American Missionary in Japan, has kindly forwarded by the
hand of Mr. Joho Cavanagh an old and
former resident on the Hawaiian Islands,
the copy of a Lecture, delivered by Mr.
Cook in Japan. Our limits will only allow
us to copy as follows

person*, several men of prominence in government or political circles being present.
The lecture was rendered into Japanese
very effectively by the Rev lbuku Kiijinos'ke.
En-ores were given to both the English and
Japanese speakers showing the lecturer's
language was intelligible to many of his
Japanese hearers. As the seating capacity
of the hull wns insufficient for all, about
500 persons stood outside during the two
hours required for the double delivery of the
lecture. This s the more remarkable considering the serious nature of the topic of
the lecture. In no case whs even smile
raised and it d. monstrates that a Japanese
audience is capable of listening patiently
and even enthusiastically to a speaker and a
subject worthy of their attention The following is the substance of the lecture :
theme is 'the religions signs of the

how the nations can be reformed, and 1 say,
let them imitate Japan in her reforms, whose
fitness for a guiding star of Asia will only
be reached when the rays of her sun become
identical with those of the sun of righteousness. But 1 must disclose to you the stern
truth of history—weak and backward nations
must reform or they must be absorbed by
more powe ful nations. 1 hold that all aggressions on other nations for such purposes
are wicked, but there is enough wickedness
in the world to make good the assertion that

claims of Christianity. At the close, the
Rajah Sambhu Narayan Sinha, who. next to
the Maharajah of Benares enjoys the highest place in the regard of the Hindoos of the
city, expressed in English, on behalf of the
native inhabitants much gratitude to Mr.
Cook fur favoring them with such an interesting and instructive oration. It is stated
that never before in the history of Benares
did such a large assembly, representing all
classes of the educated and influential Hindoos and Mohammedan inhabitants, listen to
a lecture on Christianity.—[tendon. Sunday ut Home.
Blending
of Races—Under the ameliorating
and soften'ng influence ol evangelistic effort we rejoice to witness a blending
of races on the Hawaiian Islands. There
is one, »nd on'y one, platform up n which
they fan meet, and that is under the common fatherhood of God and Brotherhood
of Christ. God has nude "all of one
blood;'' Christ "gave himself a ransom
for all;'' all have sinned, and all may be
saved through our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ. Now away, then, with these race
antagonisms ; labor to convert all to Christ,
and view all *s destined alike to the bar of
God; then shall we feel kindly towards all,
to whatever race or nationality they may
belong. It Would really seem as if God
was now causing a difficult and vastly important problem to be worked out in this
little Island Kingdom. There is not a sufficiently large population so that those of
any one race can stand aside and aloof,
forming a clan; all races must come in
contact. There may be some attrition and
rubbing, but let missionaries, C.tholic and
Protestant; Gospel ministers, English and
American; evangelists and other laborers,
including the female lab rers in Bible classes
and otherwise, work earnestly and harmoniously together—then will come a happy
blending of races into one truly Christian
brotherhood

A Sermon on Tobacco.
Rev. Dr. Frederick K. Marvin, pastor of
the First Congregational church of Portland,
Oregon, has taken strong ground with regard to tobacco. He preached a sermon on
Cleanliness, and Self-respect."
"TheHappiness,
sermon was reported in the Morning
Oregonian, and sneaks for itself. After explaining that happiness is not the immediate
gratification of every passing emotion, and
transient passion and impulse, but consists
in the harmonious and symmetrical development of man's entire nature he proceeded
to s!*.ow tha' a cle-tn, self-iespecting boyhood
and girlhood must be the foundation nnd
preparation for a beautiful and noble life.
The Doctor handled tobacco without, compromises, and urged young men to have
nothing to do with the weed," which he
pronounced a useless and noxious plant. He
defended his position from various objections
by citing the opinions of distinguished physicians and physiologists in Europe and
America. He said that in the government
naval school at Annapolis tobacco is prohibited, and that the students in Girard College,
Philadelphia, are not permitted to use it.

—
Pacific, August 9th.
It is an interesting fact, that Mr.
Cook, commenced his career »s a Lecturer
under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.of
Boston. We copy the following from Harper's Weekly for April 21, 1377
"At the request of t'te Young Men's
Christian Association of Huston, he next
took charge of a noonday prayer-meeting in
a small hall in the basement of Tremont
Temple. By a growth us natural as it was
steady his audiences increased until he was
compelled to remove to Park Street church,
and thence to Tremont Temple itself. During all this winter there has been in Boston
no sight quite so well worth seeing as that of
the three thousand people packing the building to hear him, from twelve to one o'clock
every Monday, multitudes being unable to
obtain admission But the numbers are
nothing compared to the fact that they arc ol
the very best Boston has of intellect and influence, a very large proportion being from
"among those who have had no sympathy
with that orthodoxy which is the substance
and soul of all that the orator has to say.
For he is an orator. As his likeness shows,
Mr. Cook is an athelete in bodily power. He
speaits beside his chair, from which he tikes
the volume out of which he quotes, or the
scrap of memorandum he.has made. His
style is purely conversational, and is yet
clear, concise, and terse in thought and language, leaving a|l ipference from what he
has said largely to tho m tnentum of the
thought itself, apd never detaining and tiring
his hearers by telling them about what it is
inevitable they should both think and feel »s
the result of all he has established. He
quotes freely from his extensive reading, his
memory seeming to retain in wonderful variety, like a magnet drawn through it all that
which is of the nature of his own thought,
and that from authors wholly opposed in
general to orthodoxy, some of the most genuine sensations of the hour being the unexpected testimony of Goethe, Carlyle, Emekson, as well as the German rationalists, to
the truth he is advocating, the effort of the
speaker being to get at the undermost and
:
96
innermost soul of his hearer by repeating the
deepest and most intuitive soul of the profoundest thinkers of every land and age.
Frequently the orator abandons prose and
rises into poetry, like flame from coal, a? by
the intensity of his thought and feeling.
Let these lines of Mr. Cook's own composition illustrate the defects as well as fervors
of h s intensity, so far, at least, ns mere
poetry is concerned. He is speaking—and
it is the supreme thought of nil he soys—of
a personal fiod :"
Bounds of siiii-i.'i-t.npH none can see ;
Worlds God droppcth on His knee ;
Galaxies that loftiest swarm
Float liefoie a loftier Form.
" Mighty the speed of suns and worlds,
Mightier Who these onward hurls ;
Pure the conscience' fiery bath,
Purer fire God's lightning hath.
11
Brighter He who nisketh bright
" Jasper,
beyrl, chrysolite;
"
Lucent more than they, Whose hands
Girded up Orion's bands,
Sweot the spring, but sweeter still
He who doth its 088—88 till;
God is love, but bitter Who
Givcth love its power to woo.
! tho Maker, greater He,
" Lo
Better than His works, must be ;
"
Of the works the lowest star
Thought can scale, but fainteth there.
Thee, with all our strength and heart,
God, wo love for what Thou art;
Ravished we, obedient now,
Only, only Perfect Thou."
The Evangelistic Work Among the Chinese.
Mr. F. Damon spent six weeks among the
Chinese on Hawaii, visiting all the Plantations, commencing at the South, in the Kau
District >nd passing on to llilo, and from
thence through ililo to Laupihoehoe, nnd
Hamakua, Waimea to KohaN, where he
spent several days, and was most cordially
assisted by the Key. Mr. Bond and others.
He writes from Wailuku, where he arrived on the 19th ult., and was visiting
among the Chinese on the Wailuku, Waihee and Waikapu Plantations, expecting on
next Sunday to
be at Paia.
It is gratifying to witness the progress
of Kaumakapili Church towards completion
under the prudent and energetic management of Henry Waterhouse, Esq. He is
engaged in a goad work. When men throw
themselves right into an enterprise, it is
bound to succeed.
Kaumakapili Church —Some one has
donated $600 to fit up the surroundings of
this church. Lewers & Cooke have floored
the main audience room, apanas or districts
are putting in the windows. This is benevolence in the right direction. We hope,
others will follow their-example
