long. Her great wall was 220 years
old, when Christ was born. The literature of China, is overwhelming in extent, embracing books of all descriptions, relating to history, astronomy,
geography, arts, biography, language
and the wide circle of literature. In

Professor Legge in the preface of this Institutions ! We hope the tide is turning.
:
To the English reader, of Professor
Legge's great work, the various notes
and Prolegomena are the most valuable
part of the volumes; in them will be
found the history of China and the
classical writings. It appears, that
according to Professor Legge's statement during the Ts'in dynasty, B. C.
480—22i, the "literary monuments were
destroyed by fire, in order to keep the
people in ignorance," but that during
a subsequent dynasty, that of the Han
dynasty—B.C., 139—86, there was a
restoration of the cluneal writings, so
that "the classical books of China conic
down from at least a century before our
Christian Era, substantially the same as
we have them at present." This is a
highly important statement, and hence
the reader of this translation ma) feel
that he is not perusing books stir
rcpctitously imposed upon the world.
The contents of these volumes, for the
most part, are then the intellectual food
upon which the m llions of China have
been feeding and nourished, during the
past 2,000 years. No lover of mankind,
no true Scholar, no Christian, can look
upon, or read these volumes with indifference. The most prominent of the.
original authors of these volumes, is
Confucius, respecting whom remarks
the Rev. Mr. Fiber, a German Protestant missionary, now laboring in China,
"Confucius is the Chinese ofthe Chinese
the greatest personage of the largest
Empire of the world; and he has exerted
the greatest influence, where numbers
are taken into account, ofany man who
ever lived!"
Professor .Legge has written an
interesting life of Confucius and other
Classical Chinese authors. Our limits
will not allow us, to go more minutely
and elaborately into an exposition of
these volumes but we cannot refrain
from commending them to the reading
of all who desire to cultivate acquaintance with this remarkable people and
their deeply interesting history. We
fail to see why their history and literature
are less worthy of study, than those of
other nations of antiquity. Charles

At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the U. S. Evangelical Alliance held Tuesday, October 2, 1883,
it was unanimously resolved,
I.—That the Evangelical Alliance
in the United States commend to the
people of this country to unite in the
celebration of the fourth centennial
of Martin Luther's birthday on the
10th of November next by giving thanks
to God for the blessings of the Reformation, especially for the free circulation of the Word of (led, and for re-
ligious liberty.

and to issue an address on the subject
to the people of the United States.
A committee of twenty was then
raised, and they are proceeding with
the arrangements for the proper commemoration of the day. We have no
doubt that thousands of ministers will
comply with the suggestion to preach a
sermon on the occasion. The iith
day of November will be the Sabbath,
and on that day the sermons will be
preached.
The German Government will publish a complete edition of Martin

the fourth centennial of his birth. They
are estimated to make twelve volumes,
two of which will probably be ready by
his birthday, Nov. 10, the remainder
following at the rate of three a year.

AS BUSY AS A BEE.
JUDD
After the music the assemblage was
informally called to order by Chief Jus-
tice Judd, who addressed the meeting
as follows:
On behalf of the Trustees of Oahu College'
and its patrons I welcome you, Mr. President,
and your corps of assistants, to our island kingdom and to the charge of this institution of
learning. Oahu College, though small, wher>
the number of its pupils are considered, and
weak in endowment, is by no means in its infancy. Founded by our fathers over forty years
ago, it antedates the discovery of gold and the
consequent development of the Pacific states of
America. It has clone good work and has a
noble record. But of late years this institution
has suffered somewhat by the commercial
spirit which has come over our community in
consequence of its rapid strides in material

possessed with this spirit and content themselves with what is called practical knowledge" or a business education." The spirit
called by Andrew White
mercantilism,"
largely prevails in our nearest neighbor, the
American Republic, and is portentous to its
institutions. But we desire that Oahu College
shall exorcise this spirit and be a standing protest against that utilitarianism which sees in
our valleys, plains and hill-sides only so many
acres of cane land, rice fields or pasture, which
finds in our magnificent mountains nothing but
water sheds for supplying irrigating ditches and
in our ancient forests only firewood at so much
a cord at the furnace mouths ; or which values
men as only so much muscle to hoe cane. We
desire that in these classic shades shall be stimulated a thirst for that higher development of the
intellect and heart, which will not content itself with a knowledge of book-keeping, and
which has a higher goal than the capacity toenter a store at seventeen years of age and
earn $60 a month, and which will not consider
the time before a youth can enter the lists in
the eager competition for wealth as time lost,
and which calls others than its millionaires the
great men of a country. There is something
nobler and higher than the material interests
of a nation. The training of the mind and
soul by which men become good citizens, of
pure morals, disciplined minds, and cultivated
tastes, tends more to make a nation great
than hordes of immigrants and vaults stocked
full of silver coin. If Oahu College, well endowed and well patronized by our country,
shall make its graduates, ihe future fathers
and mothers of this kingdom, persons of
such character, it will be worth more to this
nation than a standing army, a fleet, or all
it? laws, or its court-houses or gaols. We
want more of that ambition for a liberal education which sent the Lymans, the Alexanders, and the Lyons' of twenty-live years ago
to the field as surveyors to earn money with
which to go through college, and we look to
you, sir, to stimulate such a spirit. We want
our l)oys and girls to l>e contented with nothing less than the best, and if it cannot be got
here then to continue the pursuit of knowledge
even if it take them to Harvard or Vale or
Ann Arbor, and to Vassar or Wellsly. Mr.
President, I have the greater satisfaction in
welcoming you because you come from my
own second alma mater, under the elms of
New Haven.
May your administration have as its ideal the
symmetrical development of the youth placed
in your charge into perfect manhood and
womanhood

SUNDA STRAIT.- A well informed correspondent
writes to The Lundon Times withreference to the
scene of the recent volcanicdisturbance in Java: Sunda
Strait, the site of the recent volcanic disturbance, separating the islands of Java and Sumatra, is one of the
main gateways used by the vast trade that navigates
the China Sea. All vessels )>ound thither trom the
Western Hemisphere pass either to the north or south
of Sumatra, entering through the Strait of Singapore or
the Straits of Sunda. Steam vessels bound through the
Suez Canal and Indian Ocean use the former, and
those rounding the Cape of Good Hope the latter.
The Strait is about seventy miles long, sixty miles
broad at the southwest end, narrowing to thirteen
miles at the notheast end. Half way through the
strait, equidistant from the two shores, was a groupof
threeislands, the largest of which was Krakatoa, four
and a half miles long and three miles broad, its volcanic
summit reaching to a height of 2,633 feet above the sea
level, about ten times higher than the surrounding sea
was deep. Between it and Java, although the floorof
the strait was uneven, the channel was clearofdangers
on the Sumatra side were several islands and rocks, the
two largest of which, Bezee and Sebooko, rose respectively 2,625 feet and 1,416 feet above the sea. As far as
our present information goes, it appears that this chain
of islets on the Sumatra side of thestrait has beenadded
to by at least sixteen volcanic craters rising within the
eight miles of water that formerly seperated them from
Krakatoa. With so enormous an upheaval, it would
not be unnatural to expect the surrounding floor to be
depressed ; but when we learn that the whole island of
Krakatoa containing about eight thousand million
cubic jards of material, har fallen in and disappeared
below the sea, the magnitude of the convulsion becomes
more apparent, and it is easier to realize the formation
of the destructive volcanic wave that was thrown on
the neighboring shores.- [Exchange.

MR. JONES' BOOK-KEEPING CLASS.
I,ast Monday evening we chanced
into the V.M.C.A. building,
and there we found Mr. Jones (with
coat off) standing before a black-board
endeavoring to illustrate the principle
of debit and credit, to a class of over
30 young men. The room was quiet,
and all eyes were fixed upon the figures
as chalked down by this active member
of the flourishing house of C. Brewer
& Co. "If your books are kept correctly they must balance," he said.
This reminded us ofa visit we once made
to the counting-house of C. Brewer &
Co, away back, in the 40's. Mr.
Baker was then book-keeiier of the
firm. He said to us, " I have been
working two weeks for two cents."

balance." The next time we met him
he had found the error, and was rejoicing. Recently, we saw the statement
that an error of a few cents had been
found in the army accounts at Washington, and the clerks had been compelled
to run over the books, extending back
for months.
Just so is it,young man, with sin. You
may think it a trifle, but having once
been committed, it must be pardoned—
or ruin follows.
The Bible says,
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. —
Christ's blood can alone wash away
to drop
sin."
HONOLULU THE BEST PLACE TO
REFORM.
This is the remark of a young man
who is endeavouring to reform his
vicious habits. There are those ready
to take any such men by the hand and
encourage them to lead a better life.
Not only gentlemen but ladies come to
the rescue of any one desirous of leaving the pathway of sin and entering the
way that leads to happiness here and
hereafter.

MartinLuther. His 400th birthday
is to be celebrated on the 10th of
this month, throughout Germany and
the Christian world. What more worthy
of study than the life and labors of this
great and good man. We recommend
all the members of the Y. M. C. A.
of Honolulu, to read the Life of
Luther.
Search encyclopoedias and
libraries for facts in regard to his life
and character. D'Aubigne's History
of the Reformation is a most capital
book, if anyone desires a clear and
comprehensive view of his remarkable
career.
It contains a history of the
times, as well as the life of the great
reformer and his associates. The late
Professor Sears, agent for the Peabody
Fund has written an admirable life of
the great Reformer. All the histories
of Germany contain notices of this remarkable man. See a good notice of
Luther in Harper's Weekly for September 22nd. All late European and
American papers abound with notices
of Luther. Read them, and cut out
enough to make a good Martin Luther
scrap-book.
Mr Editor, —As I sat listening to
Mr. Cruzan's address, Sabbath afternoon, at the Y. M. C. A. hall, I was led
to a train of very sober reflections.
His text, Come unto me all ye that
labor and are heavy-laden, and I will
give you rest." I said to myself, "If
I had not accepted that precious invitation I would do so now." Yes, now!
Why ?
Because, during the past
period of more than fifty years I have
experienced the joy and happiness
flowing from having accepted of that
invitation. I know by experience that
Christ does not deceive his followers.
I know that true happiness is nowhere
else to be found but in communion with
God through Jesus Christ." With the
apostle Paul, I can say, "I know in
whom I have believed, and that he will
keep that which I have committed unto
him."

HAWAIIAN INDEPENDENCE.
Persons recently arriving on the
islands ask, what is the meaning of
Hawaiian Independence? Why is the
28th of November observed as a holiday? It came about in this wise.
Forty years ago, on the 28th of November, 1843, England and France, by
their highest official representatives in
the city of London, signed the following-official declaration published in the
Friend of May Ist, 1844, because this
was the only English newspaper printed
in this kingdom.
By referring to the
pa[>erofthat date this document will
be found printed in English, French
and Hawaiian languages:
DECLARATION.
Her Majesty, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Majesty, the King of the
French, taking into consideration the
existence in the Sandwich Islands of a
Government capable of providing for
the regularity of its relations with Foreign Nations, have thought it right to
engage, reciprocally, to consider the
Sandwich Islands as an Independent
State, and never to take possession,
neither directly or under the title of
Protectorate, or under any other form,
of any part of the Territory of which
they are composed.
The undersigned, Her Britannic
Majesty's Principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, and the Ambassador Extraordinary of His Majesty, the
King of the French, at the Court of
London, being furnished with the
necessary powers, hereby declare, in
consequence, that their said Majesties
take reciprocally that engagement.
In witness whereof, the undersigned
have signed the present declaration,
and have affixed thereto the seals of
their arms.
Done, in duplicate, at London, the
twenty-eighth day of November, in the
year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and forty-three.
(Signed), Aberdeen,
l. s.
St. Aulaike.
The above document may be styled
the Hawaiian Declaration of Independence, although it is merely a solemn
declaration on the part of England and
France "reciprocally to consider the
Sandwich Islands as an Independent
State, and never to take possession
neither directly nor under the title of
a protectorate, or under any other form,
of any part of the territory of which
they are composed."
This solemn declaration has, for the
period of forty years, been solemnly observed There is no doubt that this
mutual declaration on the part of England and France, grew out of the
mutual jealousy between the two great
nations, for each had encroached upon
the independence of this island kingdom. France had come and taken
away $20,000 in 1839, and England
had taken away their flag in February,
1843, but both nations subsequently restoredwhat they had taken.
England
restored the flag on the 31st of July,
1843, and France restored the money
in 1845,
These results were brought about by
patient and long protracted negotiations,
and recently Mr. Marshall's article entitled "An Unpublished Chapter in
Hawaiian History," published in Harper's Monthly, related to this subject.
To show how important and binding
this document has been, we have but
to refer to the visit of a French ship of
war in August, 1849, when the commander came on shore with a company
ofmarines and sailors, spiked the guns
of the fort and flourished about generally for several days, and then returned
on shipboard, but he was very careful
not to haul down the Hawaiian flag.
Her commander requested Governor
Kekuanoao to lower the flag, but the
shrewd governor replied that if he
wished the flag hauled down he must
do it himself. [See Mr. Wylie's Protest in Friend for September, 1849.]
It was a pet project on the part of
the friends of Hawaiian Independence,
to have secured the United States
Government to join in this Declaration
of Independence published above.
There is a traditional saying of the
Honourable Daniel Webster, then
Secretary of State*, to whom the
Hawaiian Commissioners applied for
his signature to stand beside those of
Aberdeen and St. Aulaire, which is
worth preserving. Said Mr. Webster,
I do not see why, as Secretary of
State, I should attach my name to any
such document. The United States
has no occasion to guarantee that it
will not take what does not belong to
them. When we want land we buy
and pay for it." If the great nations
had always observed that rule there
surely would have been much less war
and bloodshed.
We trust that the
Hawaiian kingdom, which has maintained its independence for the last
forty years, may continue to do so for
forty and more years to come. Its
perpetuity depends upon its moral
integrity and its strength upon its
honest purpose to do right by all
"
classes and nationalities within itsrealm.
Righteousness exalteth a
nation, but sin is a reproach to any
people."
"
JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH ALONE,
AND PURGATORY.
Many persons are bewildered in their
ideas upon the Doctrine of Justification by Faith, and wonder that so
much stress should have been placed
upon it by Luther and all adopting
Luther's views upon this subject.
This was the pivot upon which the
whole scheme of the Lutheran Refoimation turned. Luther was utterly opposed to the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory and of praying for the dead.
We copy the following paragraph,
from the October, Number of the
"Biblo-theca Sacra":—" There is a
very extensive misapprehension respecting the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory,
and the practice of Catholics of praying
for the dead. From much which has of
late appeared in print, it would seem that
the idea is prevalent that the Catholic
doctrine of purgatory in some way
softens their belief respecting eternal
punishment. This however is by no
means the case. The Catholic doctrine of purgatory has relation to the
doctrine of eternal punishment.
Puris

the belief in purgatory is made necessary by their rejection of justification
by faith. The Protestant doctrine that
through faith sinners are justified freely
by God's grace, leaves no room for purgatory.
A GOOD RESULT TO BE DERIVED
FROM THE CELEBRATION OF THE
LUTHER COMMEMORATION.
It will necessarily lead to historical
and doctrinal reading.
Of course, political writers will see much in this
subject for comment relating to the
history of Europe during the past 400
years, but the great benefit to be derived from this celebration of Luther's
birthday, will be that, thereby the people will take to reading the history of
religious and doctrinal subjects. The
]>eople, in other words will stop and
think, why all this movement, this discussion, this controversy, this battle of
opinions ? The Revision of the English
Bible, led to Bible reading and Bible
study, while Lutheran commemoration
will lead to historical and doctrinal
reading and study.
Go to God as a sinner, if you question
your right to go in any other character; he always receiveth sinners.

THE HOME OF MARTIN LUTHER.
BY
REV. P. N. ZEBRISKIE, D. D.
Luther's home at Wittemberg was a
1883.
He was throughly contented with
his lot, and overflowed continually with
thankfullness and keen enjoyment of
God's most commons and daily
mercies. The world, withersoever he
turned his eyes, was full of miracles,
miracles of mercy which the blind
world |>eceives not, but whereat those
who love God " raptuously rejoice and
cannot enough wonder and praise. "
The union of love and fear which he
felt towards God as his Father is illustraied in the following, which is characteristic as it is charming, and illustrative of his own paternal relations with
his children. " When lam sitting and
writing, my little son Hans sometimes
sings a little song to me, the while ; if
he makes it too loud I tell him so, and
then he still sings on, but makes it
softer, crowing on with a sweet little
subdued voice, slyly watching me all
the time. So would God have it with
us, that we should always rejoice,
yet with fear and reverence before

The soft warm tints of sunset tint the strand.
And all the air around is liquid light.
Afar, you trace the long and devious HayGod knew 'twas best, that He your steps
should guide,
Till close beside the portals of the day
You tarry now, for them to open wide.
Like pearls thick strewn, the milestones glistening stand—
Rare five amlcighty, granted to hut few—
While memories dear, a holy cherished hand,
Around each one are clustered, ever new.
Sometimes upon the mountain's breezy height,
With glad and bouyant heart, your steps
rung clear;
Sometimes within the valleys low, by night,
With breaking heart, oft tremblingand in fear,
You staggered 'neath the heavy load you bore.
But God's own hand through light[aiul shade
held fast,
And vale and mountain, plain and ocean o'er,
The quiet eventide is reached at last.
Lo Ihere, while tints on earth anil sky increase
In glowing beauty, Heaven is nearer grown;
The very air itself is full of peace;
Your path with sweetest blessings now b
strewn.
Ah! how the crosses, borne in years gone by,
Are lightening as you near the golden shore,
For every pang endured, for every sigh,
God will requite you now, and evermore.
The loved ones, whom God led a nearer way.
To the fair home we hope to gain at last,
Who, climbing some sharp crags of pain, one
day,
With rapture found their sojourn here was
past,
Are waiting, where the deeper twilight lies,
In patience, till your long sweet day is spent,
To bear you upward, through the shining skies,
To dwell forever with the Lord, content.
But loving hearts that beat on every side,
Would fain prolong this lovely sunset hour
Through many years, Oh! may you long abide
The cherished presencein your earthly bower.
And when the soft still hush of twilight falls.
And your dear busy hands consent to rest,
We never can efface from memory's walls,
Your beautiful calm sojourn in the West.
The strength of a church is not its

F. Durant was the most distinguished
lawyer in miscellaneous practice in
Boston Mass. He had succeeded to
very much of the business of Rufus
Choate, then recently deceased, and
though by no means the eloquent man

great cases and hard cases were put
into his hands to conduct, and his reputation in the management of the
most desperate criminal trials was
His income was enormous,
great.
and in the midst of this flush of prosperity he chanced upon a suit in which
he made a colossal fortune at one
stroke. It was a case in which was involved patent or appliance connected
with the manufacture of India rubber
blankets. He gained the case, and
took his pay in India rubber stock. It
was plain that this was to be good property, and Mr. Durant was so convinced
of it that, in connection with a few
other gentlemen, he purchased all the
rubber blanket stock in the country,
and held in his hands the patent essential to the manufacture. Besides,
right on the heels of this the war broke
out, and brought with it a call for
India rubber blankets for the army
that was almost without limit. But
now occurred an event which wrought
a complete revolution in the man, and
changed the entire course of his life.
His son, an interesting young man, to
whom he was devotedly attached, suddenly died. The father was deeply
affected, and with the occurrence the
world seemed to have lost all its attractions to him. He left his old
course of life, united with the orthodox
Congregationalist church of his neighborhood, and began himself the life of
an evangelist. Never was a man more
earnest and devoted. Abandoning the
law forever, and retaining his connection with business only to obtain
money for Christian ends, he has labored early and late since that period
—for now several years—in Christian
work. He lectures and preaches whenever a call for him, and he gives his
time to missionary effort often when
not speaking. A few years ago, he

New Steamer for Micronesia.
We learn that the American Board has
decided to send out a new steamer to
run in place of the Morning Star. She
is to be of 400 tons, and will cost about
$45,000. It is thought by the Executive Committee of the Board that the
extra expense of running her will be
compensated for by the expeditious
manner in which the mission work is
done.
"THE HAWAIIAN MONTHLY."
We have long thought that there
was needed a Monthly or Quarterly,
somewhat different from any publication now issued in Honolulu. Perhaps
Dr. Roguis will supply the public demand. Our weeklies and dailies are
too ephemeral. Our monthlies are too
limited in their range of discussion.
I )r. Rogers seems to have a good idea,
and wo shall be glad to see it carried
out.
The old Hawaiian Spectator,
was published Quarterly, but it was
really one of the best publications ever
printed in Honolulu, and yet it appeared in 1838, and 1839. It is now
quoted as authority, and only recently
Prof. Bryce, referred to it in our hearing, as a most admirable publication.
The reading public desires something
of the same nature, more solid and
thoughtful than much issuing from the
Hawaiian Press ; we have good writing
talent in our foreign community, and

as any other house of public worship on our globe.)
From such enquiries as I have made, Mrs. Joseph Carter is the
only person now living in Honolulu who was present on the day
of dedication. Only four days previously on the 24th of November—she was united in marriage with Captain Joseph O.
Carter, by the Rev. John Diell. Outside the Missionary circle,
this was the first marriage between two foreigners that was ever
solemnized so' far as I am able to learn.
The Rev. John Diell officiated as chaplain, from his arrival
until December, 1840, when he embarked with his family, in consequence of his protracted ill health, and died at sea, January 18,
1841. During his long continued sickness and decline, he made
a voyage around the globe, the Rev. Mr. Tinker officiating as
chaplain during his absence, to the great acceptance of the foreign
community. F'rom all I have been able to learn respecting Mr.
[Hell's labors, be was a most excellent chaplain and faithful gospel
minister. He was abundant in labor for both seamen and the
foreign community. As the pioneer chaplain, bis memory deserves to be kept in continual remembrance. A monument to
his memory was erected in Nuuanu Cemetery by the order of his
widow in 1052. She still survives, enjoying years of happiness
among her children and grandchildren, and a wide circle of
friends in the States of New York and Virginia. Only a few days
since I received a letter from her, written in her usual cheery and
hopeful tone, at the age ot 76. She was expecting to spend the
winter in Hamilton, New York, where resides her youngest
daughter, married to Rev. P. M. Spear, I).I)., Professor of Greek
and Hebrew in Madison University. Her other three daughters
have all been well married. These four daughters were born in
Honolulu. One of her grandsons graduated from a college in
Virginia, and is now a professor in a western college, and two
other grandsons are preparing for college. It affords me great
satisfaction to be able thus to refer to a family, so intimately con-

by keeping this aim in view that for over forty years I have been
preaching the gospel from this pulpit and been labouring among
seamen and foreign residents of Honoiutu.
It was on the 7th of November, 1841, in Dr. Spring's church,
in ihe city of New York that I received my instructions. The
Rev. Dr. Armstrong, one of the secretaries of the American
Hoard, who was afterwards lost in the ill-fated steamer Atlantic
in Long Island Sound, and the Rev. Dr. Spaulding, of the SeaThe
man s Friend Society, were the speakers on that occasion.
addresses of both these gentlemen made it plain that I was about
to go forth as a missionary chaplain.
But these gentleman made
prominent the idea that the success of Gospel preaching among
the heathen, was essentially promoted by the gathering of churches
among foreigners and the preaching of the Gospel among seamen.
"At this hour," remarked Dr. Armstrong, "the most formidable
obstacle to the entrance of the Gospel in large portions of the
heathen world, grows out of the wrongs inflicted and the mis
chief wrought by ungodly men bearing the Christian name. Pass
along the dark shores of benighted Africa visit the countless
islands of Oceanica ; and you will find the sad illustrations of this
remark." Dr. Spaulding. in delivering my instructions, thus remarked. "The particular field of your labors will be the port 0/
Honolulu ; and the special objects of your solicitude, prayers, and
efforts will be the sons of the ocean. There, in that commercial
and central position between the coasts of Asia and America, you
are to stand erect as a minister of Jesus Christ. With the foreign
residents you will be expected to maintain a kind and courteous
intercourse ; and if they shall lie disposed to attend iqion your
ministry you will watch for their souls as one that must give an
account.
At Honolulu you will be a citizen still of the land that
gave you birth, and entitled to its civil protection. The honor of
your country, therefore, as well as Christian and professional considerations will cause you to abstain from all interference with the
