Forty years ago this month—lB42 —
appeared Vol. 1., No i of The Friend.
We have a copy of that first number
lying on our table. We are reminded of
our modest aspirations, only aiming to
issue occasionally a sheet, which should
advocate the claims of Total Abstinence. Before the month closed, we
made our arrangement with Mr. Rogers,
the printer of the American Mission, to
issue the paper each month. It must
be remembered, that in 1842, no English newspaper was issued in this
part of the world, although the S. I.
Gazette and Polynesian had previously
been published. Neither was an English paper published on the western
coast of North or South America, or in
any part of Polynesia.
At a future
time, we may note a few reminiscences
of editorial life and experiences.
SAD TRUTH.
It is with sorrow, we make the statement, but we feel that we can honestly
say, that, during the past
90 days of
free-liquor, we have seen more Hawaiians intoxicated than during the
previous forty years of our residence
in
Honolulu. We do not say, but there
has been drunkenness among
the
native population, but it has not been
open and public. It has been rare to
witness an Hawaiian intoxicated

public streets, that disgrace and dishonor has been mostly the lot of

legal and constitutional province, to
either repeal the Free-liquor Law or
enact another which shall arrest the tide
of intemperance among Hawaiians, and
also among foreigners ? The crisis demands bold action. His Majesty and

Text, Romans 147. " For none of us
liveth to himself and no man
ilieth to himself."
There is an invisible chain binding all
mankind in one great bond. No member of the human family can take his
stand outside of that great bond and
say, " I will stand aloof, inde|>endent
and alone, having no part or sympathy
with my fellow men." The only being
on earth who has acknowledged this
principle, in the truest, fullest and best
meaning of the term, was the Lord
Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, born
nearly nineteen hundred years ago,.in
Bethlehem, and whose birth will soon
be recognized by so many millions
throughout the Christian world. * *
In proportion as this grand truth is
received, felt and becomes influential,
in the same proportion will those adopting it, become like Christ, enlarged,
elevated and world-wide in
:ir sympathies and influences. * *
***** * * The hisy of the church universal furnishes
inobled,
unples of many noble men and
women, whose lives beautifully illustrate the sentiment of the text. They
their Divine Master have lived and
en ready to die for the well-being of
others. Their lives were devoted to
the good of their fellow men. They
have evinced a rare devotion in the
elevation and uplifting of those for
whom Christ died. In their lives there
has been a reflection of the life of Him
who went about doing good and who
could say,
I am the resurrection and
the life." In their lives has been a
reproduction ofthe life of Christ, agreeable to the language of Paul, I am
crucified with Christ; nevertheless, I
live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me;
and the life I now live in the flesh, I
live by the faith of the Son of God,
who loved me and gave himself for
me." In a modified and inferior sense
this is the sentiment or feeling, of
every true follower of Our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ. The truly Christian man or woman lives for the good
ofothers and their usefulness ceases
not when they leave this world, but
being dead they speak, and their memories fragrant with the perfume of kind
words and loving deeds, are cherished
for long years and centuries.

dead to us until we have forgotten
them." The church at large does not
forget the lives of the true and good,
any more readily than their kindred
and friends. If their names are forgotten on earth, they will be found
recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life.
THE DEATH OF THE REV. TITUS COAN.
One such has recently passed away
and left an important field of usefulness in our island community. It was
his privilege to die in the beautiful
home, where he had lived nearly a
half century and to be buried in the
churchyard, where he had so long
preached. He was known to many of
you personally, and you have often
heard him lecture and preach. For
very many years he annually preached
in this pulpit, when he made his visits
to Honolulu in June, to attend the
meetings of the Hawaiian Association.
The grand business and great object of
his life has been to preach the gospel
among Hawaiians, and right nobly has
he performed his life-work, first in
his own church, and after that in
preaching tours through the Puna and
Hilo districts, although, his labors have
not been confined to the immediate
neighborhood where he lived. He
loved Hawaiians, old and young, at
home and abroad. I need not dwell
on this feature of his character and life,
in proof that he was an earnest, successful and devoted missionary. His
recent publication, "Life in Hawaii,"
is a modest autobiograhical sketch of
his own missionary life, as well as a
valuable contribution to island history.
In that volume, the fact is happily
developed, yet well-known to his friends
and the public that he had broad sympathies which led him to labor efficiently for his fellow men, of all races
and nationalities, so far as they were
brought under his influence.
LABORS IN BEHALF OF SEAMEN.
Here I may appropriately allude to
his efforts and labors, through a long
course of years in behalf of seamen.
For many years he has been a most
efficient seamen's chaplain. Assisted
by the Rev. Mr. Lyman, a chaplaincy
was there sustained by their voluntary
well-directed efforts, which for efficiency and usefulness equalled almost
any chaplaincy in any other parts of
the world. Upon this subject I can
speak with great freedom and assurance for during the past forty years I
have been in the most intimate correspondence with him upon this subject.
I feel quite sure the spiritual interests
of seamen attached to the whaling
fleet and vessels of war, could not have
been more thoughtfully cared for if a
chaplain had been sent out from America or England for this special field of
labor, yet this extra service was discharged with the most hearty cheer and
thoughtful consideration. I feel quite
sure many masters, officers and seamen
will have good reason to bless God,
to all
eternity, that they touched at
Hilo, in their long voyages, and came
under the happy influence of the Rev.
Mr. Coan and the other resident missionaries at that port.
MR. COAN AS A PREACHER
SPEAKER.
AND
Our departed missionary friend and
ministerial associate was one who loved
to preach the gospel. He was no
ordinary preacher, but often was truly
eloquent in both English and Hawaiian. His sermons in the latter lan-
guage must have numbered many thousands, while in the English he was
ever willing to assist other ministers
and always preached to great acceptance. As a platform speaker few were
more ready or eloquent. During his
visit to the United States in 1870 his
services were in great demand, and he
addressed thousands in the East, the
West and the Middle States.
MR. COAN'.S PATAGONIAN EXPLORATIONS.
Distinctly do I remember, when an
undergraduate in Amherst College,
hearing a narrative of that visit of ex-
ploration in company with Mr. Arms,
who came to Amherst and addressed
the students. These explorers manifested a truly heroic spirit. Their tour
is aptly and graphically described in
the recent volume written by Mr Coan,
and entitled
Adventures in Patagonia." Theirs was a daring enterprise
and worthy of being recorded beside
that of the most perilous missionary
tours since Paul, Peter and the other
apostles traversed the Roman empire,
from Palestine to far away Britain and
Spain, and distant Arabia and India.
"
MR. COAN AT HOME.
Some men are distinguished in their
public career, but fail when viewed in
the home circle and by their neighbors.
We believe, it was the good fortune of
our departed friend to appear at his
very best at home and among his familiar friends and neighbors. He was
most considerate and thoughtful of
those with whom he came in familiar
intercourse. How often have we heard
guests refer to the home of the Missionary Coan at Hilo, and have ourselves ex[>erienced his kindness. I am
happy to bear my testimony to the
purity, refinement and ideal beauty
and excellency of that home. It was
one of"xv Homes" so enthusiastically and happily described by the Rev.
Dr. Chancy in his volume entitled,
"Aloha." There was one trait of his
character to which I would not fail to
allude, I refer to his love for children.

this was once true, but it is true no
longer. China is feeling the influence
of Western ideas and Western civilization. I doubt if there is any other
people on the face of the globe among
whom the Gospel will win such victories
in the next quarter of a century, as in
China. And not only is this true of
those who remain at home in China,
but it is also true of those Chinamen
who emigrate to other lands. They are
being christianized. And yet, in the
face of facts, there is a general impression that Christian work among the
Chinese is a failure. Not long ago an
intelligent American made the astounding assertion in my presence that
"after years of effort, all the Christians
on the Pacific coast claimed was
eighteen converts." As an encouraging
fact, I clip the following from the
Christian Union's report of the Cleve-

have churches, schools and families so
generally observed Christmas, as during
the past week. One lady remarked in
our hearing, that she never was in a
place before where they had so many
Christmas days. For nearly a week,
gatherings were prevalent, at the Bethel,
Fort Street church, Chinese church,
English church. Catholic church, Katimakapili church and Kawaiahao, and
we know not in how many families.
Our limits will not permit our noticing
these in detail, but that great good will
result, we entertain no doubt.
There is a great amount of Christian
philosophy summed up in the remarks made by the late Mr. Marquand,
of Connecticut, who, while he lived,
was an open-handed friend of every
good work:
'"A Christian,' he says, 'should
never be troubled because he is asked to
give. If he cannot give he may
well be sorry; but if he does not wish
to give he ought to be more than sorry
—he should be alarmed. Lack ot
money is by no means so sad as is the
lack of a disposition to contribute of
what one has. A man often shuts the
door in the face of his best friend when
he shuts out any call to his benevolence.'"

REPORT
OF
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
For common blessings the usefulness of
which is absolutely necessary to our welfare,
like the shining of the sun and the air we
breath, we seldom stop to give thanks or
really appreciate their importance. The Honolulu Sailors' Home has become so much of a
fixture in our community, and its usefulness is
so generally diffused through the twelve
months of the year that we seldom think of it
as one of our benevolent institutions needing
support. It is here and lives, but few care to
inquire how.
At our last annual meeting the executive
committee were authorized to expend $300 in
the way of necessary repairs, provided the
money could be raised. We have to report
that on commencement of the work the building was found so much decayed that over $600
was necessary to cover the outlay, but the
treasurer will report that the mqney was raised,
and principally from among the trustees;
hence it is our privilege to report that a debt
of only a few dollars remains unpaid, and the
building is now in good repairs for years to
come.

The American ship Hope has been purchased by
Messrs. Lewers &. Cooke. She will In- put in the lumber trade.
The Spreckels Brothers' new yacht has been named
Lurline. The first thing fixed for her is an ocean race
to Honolulu next season with the new yacht now building for Mr. Tevis, and probably the Aggie as a third.
It will be a fine trip.—Alta.

A statement has been going the rounds that the British steamer Shandon is going on the Honolulu route,
to run in connection with the Suez. Such is not the
case, M the Suez will be the only boat to run 011 the
route until the two new ones now building by the
Cramps are completed.—Alta.
The British steamship Shandon, which recently left
England for Honolulu, will l>e placed on the O. S. S.
Co. s line to Honolulu, and will run in connection with
the Suez until the two new steamers of the company
arrive here, which will be al>out June next. The first
ofthe two will be launched in February.—Alta
Captain Curtis, master of the tern W. L. Beebe, now
at Port Blakely, was killed December Ist at the latter
place by theaccidental di>charge of his shotgun while
out hunting. He was formerly master of the bark Surprise and schooner Clara Light, and leaves a wife and
two children in this city.— Alta.
A sad sequel to the death of Captain Curtis is that
his wife was so sick that her fritadi feared to break the
sad news to her, and the unfortunate lady died yesterdaymorning, leaving a little boy of six years of age
completely alone. Captain Curtis leaves about $5,000
in property,and it is to be hoped that through its means
the little fellow will be provided for.—Alta.
A cablegram recently received at Portland, Or., states
that the firm who own the British steamship Madras
have decided on establishing a regular line between
Portland and Hongkong, The next steamer to arrive
at Portland will be the C. T. Hook, which left Hongkong November 25th. It is calculated to havea steamer
every 15 days. Captain Bradley of the Madras goes
from Hongkong to England and brings out a new ship
of 3,500 tons for the line.—Alta.

THE FRIEND, JANUARY,
EDITOR'S TABLE.
A Journey
through
the
Chinese
By M. Hue, Author of
"Recollections of a Journey through
•Tartary and Thibet." 2 vols. Harper cV Brothers. 1878.
Some thirty and more years ago, we
recollect to have read, with intense
interest, M. Hue's Thibet, and have
heard of his book of Travels relating to
a journey through the Empire of China,
but we have not had the good fortune to
meet with the latter work, until while
making a late visit to the Government Library. We can hardly describe the delight
wehave experienced inreading this work.
The journey was made forty years ago,
but the description has all the freshness
of a present reality. It is one of the
most charming and brilliant narratives
we ever read, and among the many
books we have read upon the Chinese
Empire, this is the best. Although
written by a Catholic Priest, we have
met with scarcely an expression to
Empire.
which we could not assent. Of course
"A French Lazarist" views christian
missions and christian life from a different stand-point from that of a Calvinistic New Englander, yet they have more
in common than some superficial observers would imagine.
M. Hue with his companion M. Gabet went as missionaries in 1838, to the
interior of Asia, among the inhabitants
of Tartary and Thibet. After learning
the language, and laboring there for
1883
of person and mental powers enriched
by education, culture and refinement.
It has been our high privilege to meet
persons of this class. Among them
was the christian lady whose life and
letters we have had laid upon our table.
More than forty years ago, while
private tutor in a family residing on the
banks ofthe beautiful Delaware River,
as it gently glides along the shores of
New Jersey, it was our privilege to become acquainted with a family in the
City of Burlington, N. J., in which
were two sisters, Jeannette and Martha
Hulme.
The latter was richly endowed with poetical and intellectual
attainments of a high order, married
the Rev. Dr. Canfield, a clergyman of
the Episcopal church, who was settled
in Ohio, but subsequently in the cities
of New York and Brooklyn. Her published works appeared among the volumes of the American Sunday School
Union. The other sister married and
found her home in the interior of Ohio.
There a most charming family of sons
and daughters adorned her household.
While surrounded with domestic cares
and called to carry many of life's burdens, yet she found time for an extensive correspondence, and the reading
of choice religious and literary books.
The volume lying before us, is the
beautiful record of her life, dying at
the age of sixty years.
It has been our privilege to correspond with members of this family, and
during our visit to the United States
in 1869, to enjoy their hospitality.
There is much in this volume to remind the reader of Hare's "Memorials
of a Quiet Life," and also Miss Havergal's writings. Mrs. Piatt was a lady
of great excellence and genuine refinement to which was added an ideal attractiveness of person, as appears trom
the uncommonly beautiful vignette opposite the title page. The artist has
succeeded in reproducing from her
photograph a picture worthy of an ar-
some years, for reasons not apparent,
the Chinese government at Peking ordered their return, Thibet being a dependency of China. On their return
from L'hassa to Canton, they travelled
at the expense of the Chinese Government. The two volumes contain a
narrative of their journey of six months
through the very heart of the great
empire. Such a journey was never before taken, neither will it be soon followed. If any of our readers desire a
peep into the heart of China, we commend to their reading these volumes

Episcopal training(Revs. Drs. Tyng and

life, amid rural scenes of Ohio. Her
letters indicate that she was in intimate correspondence with a wide circle
of appreciative friends, and persons of
uncommon refinement. Homes, presided over by such noble women and
Christian mothers, are the hope of
America, and happy prestige for the
future of the Great Republic. It is not
wealth, or station which are necessary
for domestic happiness and genuine
christian refinement, but purity of life,
love for learning, an unfaltering trust in
Jesus Christ as the Saviour of mankind,
and an earnest endeavor to follow in
his footsteps, in whatever situation of
life our lot may be cast. Most heartily
we commend this volume, of over 350
pages, to the thoughtful perusal of all
fond of reading good books, and who
are doubtfulfor the future of America.
We shall have confidence in the future,
of our native land, so long as it shall
be adorned with christian homes, presided over by such pure and noble
mothers.
THE ANGLICAN CHURCH CHRONICLE.
This is the name of a new Monthly
which made its appearance on the 2d
of December, and hereafter to appear
on the first Saturday of each month.
There is ample room for such a periodical and we heartily wish it success.
The style of the editorials indicate a
generous, Catholic and Christian spirit.
Ever since the rise of non-episcopal
churches in England aud the establishment of the Episcopal Church in the
United States, there has been a strong
antagonism, which now seems to be
dying away. All these various hranches of the universal Catholic church,
seem now to be more harmonious than
ever before. The Episcopal church in
Old England, has recently extended
the hand of christian friendship to Dissenting churches and the Salvation
Army, in a most cordial manner. We
hope the Chronicle and The Friend
may labor together in good earnest, in
disseminating a pure gospel and promoting evangelistic work. Having enjoyed a long career of pleasant editorial
life, we can most heartily extend the
right hand of christian and editorial
friendship to our young brothers.

he is tried; when the trial comes he is

CLIPPINGS.
We clip the following series of questions and answers on association work
from the "Proceedings of the Second
Annual Convention of the Y. If. C. A.
of California for 1882:
O. Should association rooms be opened
during any part of Sunday?
A. I think they should, unless there is an
objection to it on the part of the local pastors.
There arc always young men who would not
go to church, but who might spend an evening
profitably at the rooms.
Q. How can we attract young men to the
association rooms and encourage them to spend
their evenings there instead ofon the street?
A Hy making the rooms attractive, and inviting them to lectures, concerts, etc., and
taking special care to introduce them to the
young workers of the association.
Q. Do you approve of debating clubs, lyceums, etc., in connection with association work ?
A. Yes, if you have the right man to conduct them. It requires brains to successfully
carry on a debating society as well as any
other business.
Q. Should association work be confined to
spiritual matters, or are gymnasiums and literary societies essential parts of the work for
young men?
A. Most assuredly they are. All these auxiliaries are proper in their place, and should
always be considered as a means to an end,
and that end the bringing of young men within
the influence of the association and on the way
to Christ.
Q. Would you provide social games in the
association parlors?
A. Yes, with proper restriction I would.
We furnish checkers, chess and dominoes, and
they are frequently used and evidently enjoyed
and appreciated by our young men.
Q. Is it not practicable to post illuminated
and othei mottoes, teaching religious truths?
A. It is, if the thing is not carried too far.
We have known of individuals so injudicious
as to stick up what are known as "Gospel
Stickers,'' prepared with mucilageon the back,
all over the walls of restaurants, horse cars,
sign boards, etc., all this having a tendency to
make irreligious people swear, with some
grounds of justification.
We have many exchanges at hand, to some
of which we would like to make special reference, but our limited space does not permit.
When we are warranted in having a larger
sheet, we shall then be happy to make due
notices and acknowledgments.

28, 1804. His father, Hon. S. C. Allen,
was
an eminent lawyer of Massachusetts, a member of the legislature of the same state and also
a memlier of Congress. Mr. Allen graduated
with distinction from William's College in
1823, after which he studied law in his father's
office at Brattleboro, Vt., and in 1826removed
to Bangor, Maine, and began the practice of
law. He was a member of the state legislature from 1836 to 1841, and in 1838 was
speaker of the House. He took a prominent
part in the settlement of the north-eastern
boundary question at that time. He was
elected to the twenty-seventh congress taking
his seat in March, 1841. He failed of election
to the succeeding term, the successful competitor
being Hannibal Hamlin, afterward Vice-President of the United States, and who was one of
the pall bearers at Mr. Allen's funeral at
Bangor. He was on the foreign affairs committee while in Congress, and was further
concerned in the settlement of the north-eastern boundary question. In 1846 Mr. Allen
took up his residence in Boston and there
practised law. In 1849 he was elected to the
legislature of Massachusetts, and in 1850 was
appointed U. S. Consul to the Hawaiian
Islands, and left shortly after for this country.
He decided to remain in the islands and gave
up his office to accept a place in the Hawaiian
cabinet as Minister ofFinance. He was sent
as Envoy to the United States in 1856, and
was appointed Chief Justice and Chancellor in
1857, which office he held for the long term of
twenty years. He was sent to the United
States on diplomatic missions in 1864, and in
1870 was again accredited to the government
and has held the position ever since. He labored long and earnestly in behalf of a treaty
of reciprocity between the two governments
and it was largely due to his efforts that the
present treaty was negotiated in 1876.
Notwithstanding his advanced age, within a
few weeks of seventy-nine years, he was still
engaged in active work in favor of the treaty at
the time of his death. He was the dean of the
diplomatic corps at Washington and fell dead
shortly after paying his respects to the President with his colleagues. He was a trusted
and honored servant of this kingdom, whose
gratitude he has richly earned, and was held in
the highest regard by his large circle of official
and personal acquaintances in Washington and
elsewhere in the East. His death is a great
loss and is much to be regretted by the people
of these islands, who all unite in tending to the
bereaved relatives their most sincere sympathy
and warmest aloha.

NEW GUINEA AND THE NEW
GUINEA MISSION.
BY REV. A. W. MURRAY.
The Island of New Guinea, as we all
know, lies close to the shores of Australia. It is separated from the extreme
north point, Cape Yorke, by a channel
only about eighty miles in breadth.
This channel, Torres Straits, is studded
with islands, so in passing from Australia to New Guinea, land is always in
sight.
The island of New Guinea, so named
by the early Dutch navigators, from a
fancied resemblance to Guinea on the
coast of Africa, is now ascertained to
be the largest island on our globe. Like
most of the islands of Polynesia it lies
NNW. and SSE. It is wholly to the
south of the equator, extending from
0° 22' to 10° 42' south latitude, and
from about 125° to 150° east longitude.
Its extreme length is 1,490 miles, and
its greatest breadth is 410 miles. It
has an area of about 300,000 square
miles, about double that of Japan, and
the estimated population is 2,133,000.
This estimate qf course can only be
taken as an approximation towards correctness, it is not however a mere
guess. It is based upon the ascertained
population of parts well known, which
shows 640 to the square mile, and applying that to the whole area, as given
by Wallace, the most reliable authority,
it yields the number we have named,
It is hardly likely that this
an
is
overestimate.
Of the interior of this great land, little is known, and even many parts of
the coast have been very imperfectly
examined, and it may safely be affirmed
that no part of the globe of equal extent is so little known. It is just to us
now what the interior of Africa was to
our fathers fifty years ago—an unknown
land. And does not this fact invest it
with a profound interest ? What a field
for exploration and discovery is before
the missionary and the traveller!

further refer to the island as a whole.
This part of the island, beginning at
Torres Straits, has a coast line of about
600 miles, and on the south side within
the space of about 400 miles along the
coast and 15 inland ; there is a population of about 55,000.
Our knowledge of this is the result
of a careful estimate made by our enterprising brother Mr. Chalmers, who
has visited every place of importance
from the great gulf, close to Torres
Straits, to the East Cape which forms
the extreme point of the island. The
most noticeable feature in this part of
the island is a magnificent mountain
range named the Owen Stanley Range,
after the commander of one of Her
Majesty's ships, who visited the island
many years ago. This gentleman was
a brother of the late Dean Stanley, and
it is an interesting fact that his mortal
remains lie interred in Australian soil, I
believe in the North Shore Cemetery,
close to those of the late Commander
Goodenough.
This mountain chain extends from
near the gulf to within thirty miles of
the East Cape, and it attains its greatest height in one grand mountain,
which monarch-like, towers above the
rest reaching the height of 13,200 feet.
This is directly in the rear of Port
Moresby, our chief missionary centre,
and it forms one of the grandest sights
on this part of New Guinea. Besides
the great mountain range there are
many smaller ranges, and there are
mountains and hills of all shapes and
sizes which we must not stop to particularize. The main range may be about
forty miles inland, and along the coast
there is a belt oflow-land of varying
breadth, and there are rich and fertile
valleys and streams and rivers, varying
in size from the tiny rivulet that trickles
down the mountain side, to the great
Fly River, which, at its junction with
the ocean is, I think about three miles
in breadth. In some parts the soil
seems poor, being covered with long
coarse grass and scrub ; in others it appears equal to that of the finest islands
No one has yet succeeded in crossing even the narrow eastern peninsula,
and that is the only part of the island
with which we have any considerable of Polynesia.
acquaintance. Our knowledge of that All the principal places on the south
dates from the the first missionary voy- coast, and also many places thirty or
age to the island in 1871, made by Mr. forty miles inland have been visited by
McFarland and myself. Before that Mr. Chalmers, so we have reliable inwe knew about as little of that part as formation respecting the numerous
we now do of the main body of the tribes that inhabit these parts. The
island, and since our missionary opera- various tribes differ considerably among
tions are confined to that, I need not themselves. The Malay race seems
decidedly to predominate, and though
there seems a wide diversity among the
languages spoken by the differenttribes,
I think it probable that the differences
will be found to be dialectic and not
radical, a matter of great importance in
a missionary point of view. Some of
the tribes are cannibals, but the great
majority are not Some are very
quarrelsome, and are frequently at war,
while others are more quiet aud peaceNo trace of infanticide has been
found among them. On the contrary
they are fond of their children, and
brothers and sisters show much affection for each other, and children reverence their parents; and Mr. Chalmers makes the following important remark which goes far towards accounting
for these unusually favorable traits
among a heathen people :•—" No where
have I found polygamy prevalent
enough to call the New Guinea natives
polygamists out and out." And this
accounts also for another redeeming
feature in the character of the people of
New Guinea, women are more fairly
treated than in most heathen lands
with which I have any acquaintance.
The men do all the heavier work, leaving to the women that which is more
suited to their sex. To this however
there is one remarkable exception—the
women are the carriers of burdens, but
to this they seem to take naturally
without regarding it as anything of a
hardship, and from habit they are able
to carry great loads on their heads with
apparent ease. Mr. Chalmers speaks
of having seen women with loads high
piled on their heads, and on the top of
all a baby, climbing steep hills, 1,600
feet high with as much ease as if there
were on a fine "macadamized road.
Some of the tribes bear a very bad
character and evidently deserve it, but
on the whole, the natives of New
Guinea compare favorably with most
savage nations with which I am acquainted. We cannot compare them
with what the Samoans were in their
heathen state, but they are certainly of
a much less fierce type than were the
Fijians ; nor are they such ferocious
cannibals as were some of the Hervey
Islanders, the ancestors of the men and
women who are now laboring among
them as missionaries; and as regards
their moral character, there is reason
to believe that that stands considerably
higher than did that of the Tahitian
and Hervey Islanders before they were
brought under the influence of the
Gospel.

The Morning Star arrived Thursday morning. She left June 19, 1882, and on this, her
twelfth voyage, sailed 12,229 miles. The
winds and currents have been unusually favorable, as Captain Bray reports only 431 hours
of calm and 543 miles of head current. July
10th, anchored at Tapiteuea, finding the
George Noble there. Nineteen days were spent
in the Gilbert Islands. At Apemama the King
and 300 of.his people were waiting to be admitted to the church. He had visited Maiana
and addressed the people there, urging them
to give up dancing and drinking and accept
the religion of Jesus. On Marakai the old
man, who is the ruling power in this ap in
many other islands of the group, had enacted
a prohibitory law. Whoever persisted in making or drinking toddy had his cocoa-nut trees
cut down as a penalty. At Apaiank Rev. Mr.
Walkup put his house and school on board the
Morning Star and moved the institution to
Kusaie. Left Butaritari July 29, and arrived
at Kusaie August 13th. The various missionaries here organized themselves into the Micronesian Mission, with the design of holding
an annual meeting and conferring with one
another on the condition and progress of the
missionary work. Ponape was reached August
27th, Mokil and Pingelap being visited on the
way. Rev. Mr. Sturgis, Rev. Mr. Houston
and wife, Mr. Rand and Miss Fletcher were
landed here, and Mr. Rand's house. September Ist the Morning Star returned to Kusaie,
and taking on board Dr. Pease and his family
and scholars with Mrs. Rand, sailed September 16th for a voyage through the Marshall
Islands, touching at Namerik, Ebon, Jaluit
(where Mr. A. Capelle has recently been appointed United States Consular Agent), Mille,
Arno, Mejuro, Maloeap, taking away for Honolulu the Hawaiian missionary Kekuewa, and
anchored again October 29th at Kusaie, having
visited all the missionary stations and given the
old scholars (twelve men and boys) an opportunity to visit home, and taking two new ones.
Landed Mrs. Rand at Ponape November 7th,
and then taking Rev. Mr. Doane and some
Ponapean teachers, sailed for the Mortlocks
and Ruk. At Uman 200 of the Ruk natives
came on board to visit the largest vessel. A
new teacher was landed at Tefan; the one left
last year at Utet had died. There are now
four churches with ninety-three members in
Ruk, and the whole people as well as others
to the west are desirous of teachers. Reached
Ponape December 12th, on the return voyage,
having been gone only thirty-one days. December 21 st started homeward for Honolulu,
bringing back Mr. and Mrs. Houston, whose
intention at first was to go to Kusae. But in
coming out in the last boat the plug was
knocked out, and when miles from land the
boat sank to the gunwales. By dint of swimming and floating the whole party reached the
shore in safety. Most of the freight, which
had been thrown out, was recovered the next
day. Just before sailing, the Greyhound,
from California, arrived at Ponape, bringing
news of the arrival of the Julia at Honolulu
the day after the Morning Star left. This was
all the news heard from Honolulu during the
voyage.

SURGICAL
DISCOVERY.
A new way of dressing wounds, which was
discovered by accident, has been introduced
in the clinic of Professor Esmarch, at Kiel,
by Dr. Neuberg. Twoyears ago there appeared
at the clinic a laborer who had sustained a
compound fracture of the torearm eight or ten
days before, with considerable laceration.
He had got a comrade to surround the whole
forearm at once with a thick paste of peat
mold, on which was laid a rough splint of
wood. When he came to the clinic he was
in good general health, and on clearing off
the mold the doctor found the wound to be
healing beautifully, without any sign of suppuration. Dr. Neuberg was led by this experiment to investigate the properties of peat
mold, and his conclusion is that it is peculiarly
valuable for the purpose ol oressing wounds,
chiefly because of its great power of absorbing

Applied, may save a soul from hell.
That soul can scarce be saved alone,
It must, it will itsbliss make known:
'Come,' it will cry, 'and you shall see

Hundreds that joyful sound may hear,
Hear with their heart as well as ear;
And these to thousands more proclaim

on this island, at a certain level above
the sea, a good flowing well may be secured at a depth of from 400 to 500
feet. The value of these wells is pecuniarily very considerable, aside from
their convenience. They have brought
hundreds of otherwise useless lands under cultivation. Wells have been partially successful on Kauai, but not as
yet on other islands. The following

Georgia, Albany has become perhaps
Hhe best watered town in the State, and
while the country round about is as full
of sickness as ever, it has had very little, indeed, of the Customary sickliness.
All this has been brought about simply
by boring two artesian wells. Over
500 feet of boring was done at an expense nf less than $1,500, and a supply
of absolutely pure and ice-cold water
fully sufficient to more than supply the
wants of the city of 3,500 people is the
result Albany's example is being followed by several towns, and with the
facts before them there is no reason
why scores of South Georgia towns,
which are now regarded as unhealthy
on account of their water, should not
become as healthy as the average.
France is talking very big about Madagascar,
as well as about Central Africa. M. Gambetta's organ assures us that we shall have to
accept the treaty by which M. dc Brazza seized
a large slice of territory upon the Upper Congo,
and M. Grevy has refused to see the Hova delegates from Madagascar. France has from
time immemorial asserted pretensions to that
island she has never been able to justify. As
late as 1868 she ceded her treaty rights, and
acknowledged the sovereignty of the Queen of
Madagascar. Now, with a strange high-handedness, she is disposed to repudiate this surrender, and wishes to revive her influence.
Unfortunately the French are most unpopular
in the island. They have been the curse of
the country, introducing a loose morality and
attempting all manner of oppression. Instead
of being the most favored, France is the most
detested nation in Madagascar. The English,
on the other hand, have made no less substantial progress in the affections of the people. English is far more in the ascendant
than French influence, and in this must be
sought the real explanation of French pretensions in Madagascar. Home News.

Preliminary arrangements are now being taken to erect a church building for
the Chinese at Kohala. There are as
many Chinese Christians there, as at

there is the pressing necessity for a

Y. 1882.
Dr. Taylor, a native of the Old World,
has become a genuine American, and
sees so much good in American institutions that he expresses a most decided
opinion, in opposition to the too prevalent idea, among Americans that it is
best to educate their children in foreign
lands, meaning Europe. "But," he
adds, "when one has arrived at mature
age, and grown into patriotic appreciation of his native land, he will be all
the better fitted for the discharge of the
active duties of life by making a brief
and observant tour through the countries of the Old World." This is our
own opinion upon the subject. Boys

that a first-class school is now opened

your part.
NEW BUILDING AT OAHU
COLLEGE.
Not only have the Trustees opened a
" Preparatory" in the city, but on the
college premises, have contracted to
erect a brick building ioofeet long and
two-story high, with deep verandahs, at
a cost of over $20,000, —all to be finished on or before the opening of the
next school year in September. This
action of the Trustees, ought to convince the friends of education and the
public, that the Trustees are not so dilatory and inert as some have represented. To carry out these plans and
keep the institution free from debt, the
friends of education must come forward
with liberal contributions. No better
method of investing funds than in the
building up good christian schools and
colleges. We pity those who having
funds at their disposal and can aid but
will not, and yet complain that our
schools are not what they should be.

It seems to the writer as if the legitimate object of the Association was implied in its name, Young Men's Christian Association. The clear indications
are that its work lies among the young
men who are now here or may hereafrer

organizations already exist among the
young Hawaiians of this community,
viz: the Ahahui Opio o Kawaiahao and
the Ahahui Opio o Kaumakapili would
seem to indicate that the work of this
association was not to be directed specially to the non-English speaking Hawaiian youth ofthe community. Again,

witnessed a time of great cold, and more than
a third of the North American continent was
covered by an immense sheet of ice. The
theory of a polar ice-cap is inadmissable
since the places where the most ice has been
accumulated correspond with those regions receiving the greatest precipitation of moisture.
At present the south frigid zone approaches
nearer the equator than the northern. Hence
some authors think it is passing through its
glacial period, and that every twenty thousand
years the polar regions are alternately subjected
to those frigid influences.
Descriptions of existing glaciers in Switzerland and Greenland were given, illustrated by

Did I this morn devoutly pray
For God's assistance through the day?
And did I read His sacred word,
To make my life therewith accord ?
Did I for any purpose try
To hide the truth and tell a lie?
Did I my time and thoughts engage
As fits my duty, station, age ?
Did I with care my temper guide.
Checking ill-humor, anger, pride?*
Did I my lips from aught refrain
That might my fellow creature pain f
Did I with cheerful patience bear
The little ills that all must share ?
For all God's mercies through this day,
Did I my grateful tribute pay?
And did I, when the day was o'er,
God's watchful aid again implore?

THE POET GOETHE AND KAMEHA
C
TMEHA ONQUEROR.
While witnessing the unveiling of
Kamehameha's statue, we were reminded of a similar event we were permitted to witness in Berlin, June 1,
1880, when, in presence of the Emperor,
Crown Prince, and a large assemblage,
the statue of Germany's great Poet
Goethe was unveiled. It is a noteworthy coincidence, that Goethe, born
in 1749, was contemporary with Kamehameha, as he is reported dying at
70, in 1819. The former died in 1832,
hence for 70 years these distinguished
men were contemporaries, but how dissimilar their lots in life—the one born
and educated in the very focus of
European civilization and refinement,
endowed with the highest poetic gifts,
while his contemporary was born and
lived to "threescore and ten" amid
the darkness of heathenism and barbarism, yet acknowledged as great in many
of the elements of genuine manhood.
It is hardly possible to fancytwo characters standing in more striking contrast,
yet each in his own nation, and among
his own admiring countrymen, meriting
and being honored with statues to their
memory, the one of the purest white
marble and the other of bronze, arrayed
in the emblems of royalty; both are
statues ofwhich Germans and Hawaiians
may be justly proud.
"That's Him."—The best criticism
we have heard made, upon the Kamehameha statue, fell from the lips of the venerable Governor Kanoa, who was the old*
King's pi[>e-bearer. When he saw the
statue unveiled, he exclaimed "That's
Him." He was about 17 years old
when the King died, and is now about
80. There are but few Hawaiians now
living, who could have seen him, and
remembered his personal appearance.

MISSION PROSPERITY.
Since the first of May, the commencement of its missionary year, the Board
of Foreign Missions, of the Presbyterian
church, has sent out to different missions twenty-four ordained ministers,
one missionary physician, twenty-four
single ladies and fifteen wives of missionaries; or a new force of sixty-four
laborers. Of these, six have gone to
Persia, six to India, ten to Siam and
Laos, thirteen to China, six to Japan,
one to the Chinese in California, ten
to different Indian tribes, two to Mexico,
were paid to the station they are to
occupy, when their salaries begin.
This is the largest force the Board
has ever sent out, in a single year.
Joseph Cook. —Since his return to
Boston, he has commenced a series of
XII Lectures, entitled, " Advanced
Thought in Great Britain." Each lecture is accompanied with a prelude.
Four preludes and four lectures have
been delivered. These have awakened
animated discussion in the religious
circles in the U. S. and will call forth
criticism. If any of our readers desire
to keep informed upon the tendency of
theological and biblical discussion, we
heartily commend to their reading
these able lectures. His second lecture
opens with this remark, "If England
is our Motherland, Germany is our
Fatherland ; and it must be confessed
that in the highest matters of Philosophy and Science, Germany now leads
the world.
Chinese Christians in Kau.—The
Rev. Mr. Forbes reports, that during his late visit to the Pahala Plantation, Kau, he administered the Sacrament to a company of 30 Christian
Chinese, and that 6 adults and 4 infants
were baptized. These christians, have
held religious services, wtth great regularity during thepast two years, although
destitute of a Pastor. It certainly
speaks well for these converts from
heathenism, that they should thus, under many adverse influences have sustained christian worship. From what
we learn from other points on the
islands, those professing Christianity
among the Chinese, compare most
favorably with professing christians
cominghither from Europe and America.
Dublin.—From the
Dublin Daily Express of January 4th,
we learn that Messrs. Moody and
Sankey are conducting most successfully a series of Evangelistic meetings
in that city. Audiences are large. So
large are the gatherings, that separate
services are held and conducted by
Mr. Bliss. All evangelical denominations unite in these services .At one of
the services we notice that a clergyman

have read with much interest as published in the Gazette of January 17th.
The writer shows great candor and
writes, in a style to convince the
reader, that he is telling the honest
truth.
" Oahu" appears to have a good,
name in that region of the Pacific
where the Julia has cruised, while
has a bad name. This reminds
"usFiji"
of the statement of an American
Micronesian Missionary in our hearing
a few months since, which was this,
that among certain islands of Micronesia, " Fiji " and " Hell," were synonemous terms. This is the result of that
cruel and murderous system of kidnapping which has been of late years,
carried on, with Fiji as its headquarters..
We have seldom read a more candid
testimony to the good influence of Missionaries than this of the Captain of
the lulia.

in one volume.
Cruise in a French Manof-war, in one volume.
Lady's
Fire Fountains, in ttvo volumes.
These four goodly volumes, now lie
on our table, written by Miss C F.
Gordon Cumming, sister of the great
lion hunter of South Africa, Gordon
Cumming, whose writings so fascinated
the lovers of wild sports and African
exploration, a few years ago. Some
months since, a volume entitled "From
the*Hebrides to the Himalayas," by
the same author, in two volumes,
chanced to fall in our way, and its
reading whetted our appetite for the
above mentioned volumes, when we
should be so fortunate as to enjoy their
perusal, but we had hardly imagined
what an intellectual and captivating
feast was to be spread on our table.
We have been reading books on Polynesia for more than a half century. We
remember, away back in the "20's,"
when in the Sabbath school, taking
from the library, "A Journal of a tour
around Hawaii," and some of its pictures are now before our mind as distinct as though viewed but yesterday,—there was the portrait of old
Governor Kuakini, and a picture of the
missionary preaching to the naked Hawaiians on the lava in Kau ! We have
been reading all the books published
relating to Polynesia ever since, but we
can truly say, the last course of the
feast is the best.
These four volumes cover the whole
of Polynesia, from Fiji and New Guinea in the West, to Eastern Island in
the East, not omitting any group, from
the Hawaiian Islands in the North to
New Zealand in the South. All the
prominent islands scattered over this
vast ocean Miss Cumming has visited
and described with her pen, and many
a tropic scene has she sketched with
her pencil and brush, which she wields
with a delicacy and tact, the envy of
artists. Looking forth upon our tropical scenery, mingling with the aborigines of Polynesia, and the various races
now taking up their abodes on these
fair islands, she describes the present
aspects with a vividness and beauty
which charm the reader and hold his
WTapt attention for hours, when he
What particularly pleases us in these
volumes is, the fairness, kindness and
candor, so manifest throughout. The
writer does not forget that she is a
christian lady, and when interviewing
the various personages, she manifestly
respects them in their positions and surroundings. The sad defect in a multitude of tourists and travellers is, that
going abroad viewing themselves as the
ideal standard of humanity they mar
their writings and conversations with
rude comparisons and harsh criticisms.
Now Miss Cumming avoids these short
comings in a most remarkable manner.
Throughout these volumes we have
scarcely met with an exception to this
remark. Then to, she writes with an
intellectual vigor and grasp of thought,
which renders her letters models of
epistolary and historical composition.
She has spared no pains to read up the
history ot Polynesia, as laid away in old
volumes of the early navigators, and
Missionary reports and journals. She
clearly discerns the grand march of
Missionary and commercial influence,
and sees with clearness the manifest intentions of the governments of Eugland
and France with reference to the future
of the Pacific.
The two volumes, entitled "Fire
Fountains," relating to our islands, we
have given the most thorough perusal.
For honesty and fairness, we cannot recall a more truthful tourist throughout
our group. A knowledge of botany,
chemistry and geology, enable her to
move about in our lava fields, visit our
burning volcanoes and admire the
choice flowers in our gardens and along
our mountain paths, as well as gaze
with wonder and awe into the fiery
depths of Kilauea. She was peculiarly
fortunate in her visit there. But little
can hereafter be accomplished in wordpainting after what Miss Cumming and
Miss Bird have done. The reading
public are certainly under great obligations to the visits of these two English
ladies to our islands. Their "letters "
have been perused by a class of readers
in England, moving in the very highest
and most aristocratic circles; and we
are glad to learn, that now cheaper editions are issuing from the press. The
"3d " and cheap edition of "Home in
Fiji" has already appeared from the
press of W. Blackwood & Sons of
Edinburgh. These volumes are illus-
MONTHLY CONCERT AT THE
BETHEL.
At the last Wednesday evening gathering at
the Bethel vestry, the subject of the Mission in
Papua, or New Guinea, was the topic upon
which the Pastor gave a lecture, assisted by
the Rev. Mr. Bishop. The latter gentleman
had prepared an excellent map of the western
part of the Pacific, including what is known
among geographers as Melanesia, Micronesia,
and a portion of Polynesia. This map indicated most accurately and admirably the relative
position of the various groups of islands studding that portion of the vast Pacific, now receiving the Gospel.
Mr. Damon referred to the fact, that the recent trip of ihe Julia had brought to Honolulu
one hundred laborers, who belonged to thePapua or Negro race. They were the first who
had landed here, and hence, it was important
to learn from what part of the Ocean they
came, and what were their race affinities. After
speaking of the Presbyterian Mission on the
New Hebrides Islands, and the Church Missionary Society on the Solomon Islands, his
remarks related to the prosperous Mission now
being established on Papua, or New Guinea.
This Mission has now been in operation about
12 years. Mr. Damon rather abruptly closed
his remarks, reserving something for a future
occasion, when he introduced the Rev. John
Edwards, who is now visiting the islands, but
who is attached to the Choctaw Mission, in
the United States, under the Presbyterian
Board, but formerly under the A. B. C, F. M.
For some 40 minutes, Mr. Edwards spoke in
a strain of remarks intensely interesting, recalling the early history of the Choctaw Mission,
and referring to some of the noble men—Kingsbury, Wright and others, —who had been engaged in that Mission. Mr. Edwards took up
the question of Civilization antl Christianity,
showing which should go first in the evangelization of the heathen people.
We cannot give a full report of Mr. Edwards' most interesting address, which was listened to with marked attention. We sincerely
hope he may be invited to repeat it, with additions and variations. Mr. Edwards is a gentleman who has a right to speak with authority
upon Missionary matters, from experience
among Indian tribes, and also from being a
lineal descendant in the fourth generation, of
the celebrated President Edwards of Theological and Missionary fame—the Biographer of
David Brainerd, and the Missionary to the
Stockbridge Indians.— Saturday Press.

BG. SMITH.
The people of Honolulu are often spoken of
as forming an intellectual and refined community. Yet it is a question also often asked,
why are not the opportunities for intellectual,
literary and social improvement that are constantly being offered to youruj and old among
us not more highly prized and made use of ?
Our foreign churches in their occasional lecture and entertainment evenings on weekdays,
are from time to time giving admirable opportunities for sociability and mental improvement ; our library and journal association not
long since gave a really superior course of
evening entertainments in which music, select
readings, and dialogues made up an excellent
programme for an evening's entertainment,
and it was free to all. Yet how few attended !
Is an entertainment less sought after in Honolulu, becouse it is free ? is a question one feels
like asking. Or are people so satiated with
this sort of instruction and entertainment that
they will not turn out in great numbers ? Again
the very ones who are least represented at these
assemblies are those who would be most profited by them. The young men and lads who
have no homes, or only unattractive boarding
places at the best, at which to spend their
evenings, are the ones whom it is now desired
to draw in and shield from temptation and
vice, and yet they seldom and some of them
never, put in an appearance at these places.
The admirable and highly instructive and
entertaining lectures lately given by Prof.
Hitchcock (soon to be resumed) were not attended by as large a number as their interest
merited. We do not mean, however, to be
understood as intimating that the audience was
not a good one. But the class whom we have
mentioned did not largely attend. The audience was mostly confined to church-going
people who know a good thing when it is
offered and desire to avail themselves of it.
What is the remedy lor this condition of
affairs ? To give up the attempt that is being
made with partial success and let things take
their own course ? No. We would say, let us
study the field and if we have not fully succeeded in the past, strive to do better in the
In spite of the evils that now press with
special force on the Hawaiians of Honolulu,
and the discouragements which tend to weaken
the hands of every true worker for this race,
there are indications which for the encouragement of philanthropists and christians deserve
to be mentioned. The rum shops may be
crowded of a Saturday evening and during
other evenings with a noisy crew of drinking
boys and men, with women and girls in the
fringe of the crowd, but there are young, as
well as old Hawaiians who have for the first
time lately set their faces resolutely against
this social evil. The powers that be may see
fit to treat the people to a coronation hula full
of all indecencies of word and gesture, but it is
a consolation to know that while many applaud, there are not a few who turn away in
shame and horror and mourn that these ghouls
of the old times of darkness of 1783 should be
conjured up and made to do service again in
this year of grace 1883. While the weak are
brought low, the strong are doubtless strengthened.
Prof. Hitchcock, who no longer needs an
introduction to this community is expected
back from tbe windward island in a few days,
when we shall have the pleasure of listening to
the remaing three lectures of his course. The
subjects as announced by him are: I. The
Coal Age. 2. Life in the later geological periods. 3. Volcanoes, with the geological history of the Hawaiian Islands. The committee
have some hope that he may arrive on the Atlauea Hou on Saturday morning, Mar. 3, in
which case there will be an effort made to have
a lecture from him on the same evening. If
this arrangement is completed the public will
be notified by public posters and also if possible by advertisement in the Saturday newspapers. Keep a sharp look out for the posters!
There are a few tickets to Prof. Hitchcock's
still unsold.

Mr. H. M. Whitney arrived in town by the
I-walani, on Tuesday last, and has
already been instated in office as PostmasterGeneral. It is his intention shortly to investigate, either in person or by competent proxy,
the working of the several postoffices on the
different islands. Work in this direction has
for a long time been much needed, and we
hope shortly to be able to record the establishment of some system and efficiency as regards
the mail service in the outlying districts. Mr.
Whitney's known ability and his experience in
postal matters is a sufficient guarantee that the
work he is about to undertake will be well and
thoroughly performed.

From W.
H. Lentz at the Volcano House,
we learn that there is great activity in
both lakes with flowing lava in fifty places on
the floor of the crater. Prof. Hitchcock with
Kilauea,
Mr. Perriman, accompanied with the guide
Ahuai that piloted Capt. Dutton, left on the
12 ult., for the source of the flow of 1881 and
the summit crater of Mokuaweoweo, but it has
been very stormy ever since, with thunder,
lightning and torrents of rain, and their investigations are consequently being made under
great discomfiture and disadvantage.
Whatever may be said of the artistic merit
of the resplendent Kamehameha Statue,
has been unveiled to the public gaze since our
last issue, and no one we fancy, would think
of comparing it with the handiwork of Phidias,
or Michael Angelo—the gilded cloak of the
hero attracts not a little attention. The label
kindly informs the Hawaiian that he is looking
upon the statue of Great Kamehameha. It
certainly forms a pleasing feature in the view
of the Government House from the street.
A fine iron steamer is being built at Philadelphia
for Jno. D. Spreckels & Bro., which
is intended for our inter-island trade. Her
dimensions are—length, 195 feet, and width
of beam, 33 feet. She is guaranteed to steam
12 knots; and is to have first-class passenger
accommodations, with separate staterooms.

Mr. John F. Bowler will find a
letter for him by inquiring at the office
of the Friend.
The Gazette has mentioned the contemplated
vacation trip to Boston,
which, through the generosity of some
family friends, Dr. Hyde of the North
Pacific Mission Institute, will take next
month. He leaves on the next mail
steamer, the Zealandia, June 3d. Mrs.
Hyde accompanies him, and their son
Henry, who expects to enter William's
College. Miss Laura Green and Miss

over 30 years one of the most laborious
ministers of the gospel on the Pacific
coast. It was our privilege to meet
him in Benecia, on his first arrival in
1849. During our visit to Oregon and
California, in the spring and summer of
1849, we were permitted to witness the
first breaking of that wave of immigration which has not ceased even until
the present time.
From our journal, as printed in the
Friend of Nov.
15th, 1849, we
copy as follows:
"To-day, June 23d, 1 visited the
city of Benecia. Here I found the Rev.
Mr. Woodbridge, a Presbyterian clergyman, engaged in a school, and preaching
upon the Sabbath. He seemed to have
secured the confidence ofall classesjin the
community, and I was rejoiced to see
that he was laboring for the real benefit
of the future inhabitants of the country.
He left on Long Island a flourishing
societyand church, which were cordially
united in his support, where he had labored as a minister of the gosj)el for
fourteen years. After surveying the
country he decided upon Benecia as
prospectively opening a wide and promising field for ministerial usefulness.
He is expecting to return, ere long, for
his family, and cast in his lot with the
rising future of the people of the coun-
try."
Thus, for a period of about half a century, this faithful minister has been
preaching the gospel. He has also labored as an editor and teacher, but in
whatever capacity, he has labored hard
and faithfully. It has been our privilege to meet him whenever we have
visited the coast and always found him
engaged in his Master's work.

Mrs. Dr. Happer of the American Presbyterican
Mission at Canton, Mrs. Winn of

Mission and Miss Field of the Swatow Mission
were passengers on the Coptic
way to
the United States. These ladies came ashore
last Wednesday and were present at a special
meeting of the Hawaiian Woman's Board,
making interesting statements of the progress
of mission work in their various fields. In the
evening of Wednesday, the Fort street and
Bethel congregations held a united prayer
meeting in the lecture room of the Fort street
Church. The foreign mission ladies spoke at
some length. From the Advertiser's report is
taken the following fragment of one lady's
statement:
The Chinese bachelor on the Pacific Coast, and it
must be the same here in Hawaii, is a very much worse
man than when he left home. Nearly all Chinamen
over twenty five years of age, are married man. They
would gladly bring their wives and families here could

i. if they were sure that their
families would be protected; a. If the wives of those
husbands now here could he brought here under the
care of some elderly women, according to Chinese customs: and 3. If the rate of passage (SAo) were not
virtually prohibitive. The Chinese immigrant ia poor.
If Hawaii desires these married immigrants to bring
their wives, then the Government must bearat least part
of the expense of bringing themhere. 'When theChinese
immigrant takes with him his family then he makes the
beat colonist in the world. He ia temperate, peaceable,
industrious, frugal; and comparatively moral.

With this short review we leave a

If a man keep his moral character

the beginning, and studiously avoid

To drink deeply—to be drunk—is a
sin; this is not denied. At what point
does the taking of strong drink become
a sin ? The state in which the body is,
when not excited by intoxicating drink,
is its proper and natural state; drunkenness is the state furthest removed from
it. The state of drunkenness is a state
of sin; at what stage does it become sin ?
We suppose a man perfectly sober who
has not tasted anything which can intoxicate; one glass excites him, and to
some extent disturbs the state of sobriety,
and so far destroys it; another glass excites him still more; a third fires his eye,
loosens his tongue, inflames his passions; a fourth|increases all this, a fifth

a sixth makes him savage; a seventh or
eighth makes him stupid—a senseless,
degraded mass; his reason is quenched,
his faculties are for the time destroyed.
Every noble and generous and holy
principle within him withers, and the
image of God is polluted and defiled !
This is sin, awful sin; for "drunkards
shall not inherit the kingdom of Cod."
But where does the sin begin ? At the
first glass, at the first step towards complete intoxication, or at the sixth, or
seventh, or eighth ? Is not every step
from the natural state of the system towards the state ot stupid intoxication
and advance in sin, and a yielding to
the unwearied tempter of the soul ?

OUR SUPPLEMENT.
With this number of the Friend is
issued an eight-paged Y. M. C. A.
supplement. It contains a full report
of the proceedings, at the dedication of
our new building, which is, both an
ornament to the city and a most admirable monument to the liberality of
the friends of our association. To start
with a building so well suited to the
purposes of the society and at the same
time, to have it free from debt, is something for which we cannot be too thankful. We hope this will ever be the
policy of the association, to avoid debts,
and yet go forward with liberal appropriations, based upon the pledges of
the members and friends of the society,
who feel determined that the good work,
in which we are engaged, shall result
in a fevorable issue. We are fully confident of this happy result, provided,
each member shall do his duty,
promptly and cheerfully. Let each one
feel that he has a personal responsibility in this enterprise. Past success
should encourage us to go hopefully
forward.

There are still
ing like ours. This is an association,
things to be finished, and some slight alterations to be made, but they will not interfere
with our occupying the building.
The committee consists of Mr. C. M.
Cooke, Mr. J. B Artherton and myself. The
working man in the committee has been Mr.
Cooke. We have had much to perplex and
annoy since we accepted this trust; we have
been misunderstood and misrepresented; and
I feel that it is proper for me to make an
explanation of some of the delays which have
come up from time to time, through no fault
of the committee.
We were anxious to select a location that
was central and easy of access. Some lots
thought to be desirable we could not get a
perfect title to; one lot was selected, but it was
necessary to communicate with the owner,
who lives in the United States. We corresponded with him, causing a delay of two
months; but he declined to sell.
We finally decided upon the present site,
but had to wait three months before we could
obtain possession.
Again we were delayed in obtaining plans.
Many promised, but at our annual meeting last
year only one complete plan was presented,
and one rough plan designed by Mr. Cooke.
This latter was accepted by the Society, but
we were delayed in getting our working plans
so as to get our tenders. We were obliged to
postpone opening tenders in order to give all a
chance to bid. When they were opened the
lowest bid was about $16,500, the highest
over $19,000.
Nine bids were received.
Without reducing the size of the building, or

to $16,400, and finally concluded and signed
the contract at that price, fixing the date at
which the building should be finished, Dec.
22i1, but no penalty was attached for nonfulfillment as to date, and it is now four months
since that time when we take possession.
The Committee are all fully satisfied with
the work done. We belive Mr. Lucas has
given us all the contract called for, and the
work has been faithfully and honestly done.

And now, Mr. President, I present you with
the keys of this building, with the hope that
the object for which this building has been
erected may be fully realized.
May its door be thrown wide open to all the
young men of this city, and to all strangers
coming to our shores; may the members of
this association cordially welcome all who
come within these walls, and may those who
enter here not only be instructed and amused,
but may they also be led to the Savior who
died for all.
ence by President Judd, and addressed
them in his usual entertaining and instructive manner, as follows:
Your Majesty, Mr. President, Brothers, Ladies and Gentlemen:—We gather
to-night to celebrate the fourteenth anniversary of our existence, and as the retiring President of the Association, it has been thought
fitting that I should briefly call to mind the
events of the year past, and as best I may,
give expression to the gladness that tills our
hearts as we now dedicate our new building
and enter our permanent home. The interest
excited in our association during Mr. Hallenbeck's first visit to our city, and the earnest
assistance of Rev. W. J. Smith, of San Francisco, then on a visit here, paved the way for
the erection of this substantial structure.
The Building Committee has placed before
you the work undertaken and accomplished
under their direction. So quiet and undemonstrative has our work been during the twelve
months past, that it seems to me possible that
but few now present to-night realize that we
have held eleven monthly and three special
meetings with an average attendance of 32;
that we have sustained a reading-room at the
Sailors' Home, have in connection with contributions from the Fort street and Bethel
churches, supported a Chinese colporteur, who
has been of invaluable assistance to Mr. Frank
Damon in acquiring the language and prosecuting his work; that a service has been held

committee and others have visited the hospital
with great regularity, cheering the lonely
hours of those who were sick and suffering
there with reading matter; that an effort has
been made to reach those who have come in
the various crafts that have entered our harbor,
and that as far as possible, employment has
been procured for those who were out of work.
Up to this time we have had no place of
abode, no spot we could call our own, no
place about which our affections could cluster
and where we could invite those whom we
wished to interest and if possible, in manyinstances, to reach and save. Such a place we
enter to-night, and we need it.
Ist. For ourselves, " There is no place like
Home."
2nd. We need such a place for those who
come as strangers to our shores.
It has been said, I know, that no home is
closed against any worthy young man. But
how often it is that strangers are timid, and
shrink from going into the family circles of
those with whom they have no acquaintance.
An old classmate and friend thus relates one
of his experiences: Having allured one of the
comparatively friendless young men of our
town into my study, I urged him to keep out
of the saloons. "But where should I spend
my evening?" he replied. "Spend them,"
I said, " in some respectable place where you
will be out of harm's way." " Where's that ?
What respectable place wants me ? " Unable
to think just what place wanted him, I said
desperately: " Come up and see me." " What,
every night ? " said he. The prospect of the
young man drumming on my desk " every
night," while I tried to write a sermon, did
seem alarming, but I said, as stoutly as I could,
"better that than the saloon.'
"Now,
Dominie," said he, "you know you don't
mean it.
Why you can't mean it. What
would you do with me ? You'll get awfully
tired of me, but you wouldn't be bored any
more than I would. You mean all right," said
but I tell you it won't
he, apologetically,
and is an association for young men, true, but
it is the Young Men's Christian Association.
That word Christian is the keystone of our
association.
But it is said,—Ist. You have a home at
great expense. To which I reply, yes, and
everything in this world that is worth having
is expensive. We usually expect to build but
once, and our surroundings ought to be as
attractive and tasteful as our means will allow,
and planning, as we do for the future years
sometimes beyond the present ability to pay.
2nd. Now they say, that you have the
building, it will be very difficult to furnish it
and provide for needed expenses. True, it
will be an expense; but, I am firm in the
belief that the same generous hearts and hands
which have placed this building in position
here, will not fail us in the hour of our need.
And now, my brothers, in closing, addressing you as I now do, for the last time as a
body, let me urge upon you the necessity of
hormony, enthusiasm and fidelity to the work
before us. We enter this building to-night
one hundred strong in members now residents
in this city. How much can one hundred
earnest, strong, active men in a community
like this accomplish? Let the answer
come in what shall be actually done in
the coming months of this new year of the association. To speak kindly of those who are
willing to work and do little or nothing ourselves, will not bring the best results. To criticise, and so actually hinder work that would
otherwise be done is easy. Let it not be possible for any young man, or boy of suitable age,
now residing here, or who shall come among
us to say, as you gather here to celebrate your
fifteenth anniversary: "I have never had a
kindly word from any member of that association. I looked on my right hand, and behold,
but there was no man that would know me;
refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul."
At the conclusion of Mr. Pratt's address,
Mr. F. W. Damon ascended the platform and
delivered the following poem, written for the
occasion by Mrs. B. F. Dillingham:
A joyful theme inspires the song
Our voicesraise to-night,
And thrills withricher tones the lyre,
Now swept by fingers light.
A song of glad thanksgiving this,
Oftriumph over doubt;
This day we own with grateful hearts,

Long years of patient toil are ours.
Of constant watchand care,
Ofplanning, working, helping cheer,
Of earnest faith and prayer.

With purpose firm and true,

THE FRIEND, MAY,
livered the following witty and pithy peroration:
Mr. President, Your Majesty, Ladies
and Gentlemen: —My situation before you
this evening is the result of an unhappy combination of innocence and guile. The innocence was my own—the guile was all Dr.
Whitney's. We know how calmly that gentleman can administer the most severe shock to
one's nerves, and follow it with a soothing,
gentle manipulation that makes pain a pleasure and agony a balm. So he treated me,
and said: "We may depend on you for a few
words, just for ten minutes or so." I felt the
shock, and said (as so many have said before),
But I
Oh, Dr. Whitney ! and I added:
shall be on Hawaii." Then the balm came:
But you doit so beautifully "—and I fell;
Dr. Whitney was the spider—l am the fly.
But, although I feel that I am in my wrong
place to-night, I am not ashamed to stand before
you, ladies and gentlemen, as an advocate of
and a co-operator in the Young Men's Christian Association. If there be an association in
our midst that can challenge criticism, this is
one. It has no origin on earth but the love
of man for man; it has no object but the cultivation of love for God and man; it has no
name but that of Christ. My own connection
wi'h this association has not been so intimate
that I need fear to chant the praises of those
whose warm hearts and active hands have
reared this monument of Christian love; nor
am I so far a stranger to this enterprise that I
may not ask, at least, to stand beside their
finished work and place my poor garland
there.
I have called this a monument of Christian
love, and I am sure you will agree with me in
this definition. Of all the Christian churches
and Christian men who meet for worship in
our city, none can claim pre-eminence here for
any special creed; no words of sectarian
rivalry find echo here; neither masonic ceremonies nor odd-fellows' rites are used to
characterize our meetings. It is but an association of Christian men to welcome and to
help their fellow-men. And it was no slight
work that was undertaken when this building
was projected.
It was not by the patient
exertion of our clergy, nor by the generous
endowment of men of wealth that this was
brought about, but by the enthusiasm of men
whose heads and hands are fullest of the busy
claims of life. I confess I like enthusiasm.
Now-a-days they store electricity and carry it
about in bulk, and work wonders; but you
may do as much and more by storing enthusiasm and carrying that about in bulk. I
remember, that at one of the early meetings
some one feared there was little hope of
getting the money for building this edifice,
and Mr. Jones exclaimed:
111 guarantee it
for 2% per cent." I felt that there was en
thusiasm stored and carried about, and it did
me good in its explosion. It was enthusiasm
that built this hall, and when the men who
had most to do showed that they could give
as liberally as they could work, even for such
an intangible object as the good of young men
yet to be; then the others gave too, and we
all came in for the triumph.
So I speak to-night of enthusiasm, but
qualified as follows: "Not slothful in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord."
That is my description of the men who built
this hall, and that should be the description
of those who are to carry it on—for the world
is carried on by just such men. Of course,
pure enthusiasm is as bad as pure thunderbolts; but to ordinary amounts of everything
else, add plenty of enthusiasm, and there wifi
be little fear of failure in life. Is there anything more disheartening than to have to contend with young men who will make encouragements and keep them, if nothing better
turns up, or who make them in such a halfhearted way that one never expects them to
be kept ?
Somehow I fancy that this is the one great
evil we have to chasten us in this climate of
ours. There is a certain mental sponginess,
which readily unites with and absorbs every
liquid of every hue, and has a most imposing

motto, "will it pay?" and weigh remorselessly everything offered for its acceptance.
Utility counteracts and destroys superficial
infidelity. Christianity willingly steps into
one scale and bids young men who are inclined to doubt to put infidelity into the other.
We are willing to abide this practical test.
What has organized infidelity ever done for
the welfare of the human race ? Where has
infidelity ever founded and fostered an institution of learning. Where has she ever built a
home for the aged, or an asylum for the
suffering, or the poor ? Christianity does this
everywhere. In all lands, beside the Christian Church, Christianity builds the Christian
College, and l>cneficient institutions of every
name. Where has infidelity ever gone into a
city slum redeemed it ? Christianity can
show its five |>oints in New York, its Bithany
Mission in Philadelphia, its Railroads and
Newsboys' and Bridgeport Missions in Chicago, and other missions in every city almost
wbrld-round. Where has infidelity ever gone
to a heathen people, and led then out of
superstition and idolatry into civilization ?
Christianity can point to many such trophies.
A distinguished heathen philosopher, visiting
America, said: "Your prisons, your dungeons, your scaffolds and yours armies I understand; my country can out-do yours in these
but your orphan asylums and your old
things;
men s homes astonish me, and your homes for
old women would seem to my people ridiculous." Dc Toquevitle said, speaking of
America's prison reforms:
In my country,
once a rascal always a rascal, you do things
differently." Yes, we do. Christianity does
do things very differently from heathenism,
atheism, or infidelity. It uses the Cross as a
might lever with which to raise humanity in
the scale of being.
Now in regard to the special line of work
for which this building was erected: Going
into Portland, (Oregon,) Y. M. C. A. building
one day, in mid-winter, I found a group of
young men seated comfortably around the
stove. One of them was loudly sneering at
Christianity as an old fable, and at Christians
as hypocrites and boasting of hisown infidelity.
I listened for a moment and then asked if he
had seen much of the world ? and was told
that he had been quite a traveler. I expressed my gratification, for he would perhaps be
able to give me some information. Then I
asked these pointed questions, and I ask them
of any young men here to-night who may call
himself an unbeliever in Christianity: Where
has organized infidelity ever erected a building
or opened and fitted up rooms, for the use and
benefit of young men ? Where do Liberal
Leagues seek out yonng men who are strangers
try to obtain them situations, and seek to surround them with good influences, and shield
them from evil ? Where do Liberal Leagues
send out into the streets and down into the
"slums" their "good Samaritans" to lift up
young men who have fallen among the thieve
and robbers of sin ? Infidelity does none of
these things. Christianity does them in nearly
every city in the world.
As the light-house on a dangerous coast lifts
its massive column heavenward and holds aloft
its light to warn those in peril and to give
guidance and cheer to those battlirtg the waves
and storms, so this building will stand, holding
up the open Bible as its great light, to warn
young men and save them from the deadly
peril ofsin, and as a home and a refuge to the
stranger from all lands, and this building will
also stand as a monument of the pratical value

ready, these committees employ, each,
a secretary, who devotes his time to the
study, organization, watch and care of
the work. Each of the state organizations has excellencies peculiar to itself.
It is the province of the Internal Committee to promote among them helpful
knowledge and emulation of one
another, to foster in states where the
cause js feebler a similar work, and to
carry to districts destitute of this blessed
organization information of its benefits,
and of the mode in which these may be
secured.
I have enumerated the principal
forms of effort in which the members
of the Young Men's Christian Association have, for the past twenty years,
carried on their work. It has required
devoted individual activity on the part
of the Christian young men. They
have come from various churches to
associate themselves in this fraternity.
But a deep religious sympathy has
united them, inspiring an enthusiasm
which has triumphed over many obstacles. 'The source of this enthusiasm,
and the bond of their unity has been a
common love to their divine Lord.
They have found how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell and work
together in unity. They have not belittled the things in which they differed.
These have been silently acknowledged,
and frankly respected. Indeed, the
society is invariably made up of those
who are among the most active and
faithful in the churches to which they
belong, and who bring to the meetings
and work of the association the best religious experience and Christian activity of these churches. But in the association their common aim is to magnify the faith, the hope, and the love in
which they are agreed, and to find in
these the inspiration for that work
Very delightful has been the spirit of
harmony and Christian brotherhood
prevailing among these young men.
Often it has been felt in the churches
of the community, promoting a unity
of feeling, a better knowledge of one
another, and a fraternal sympathy and
co-operation that have honored the
name of the Master, who said, "By
this shall men know that ye are my
disciples, because ye love one another."
It is an era of intercommunication.
Rapid and growing intercourse is occasioning marvelous changes in every department of human industry. Better
acquaintance with one another is promoting among men happier and more
fruitful concert of action. 'The spectacle, therefore, of hundreds of Christian
young men from the various evangelical
churches assembled to deliberate how
they may best work together in a single
department of Christian effort, may
certainly be counted among the promising signs of the time in which we live.
The institution they seek to benefit
is indeed still in its infancy. What has
been done in defining and extending it,
is only the beginning of a good enterprise. None feel this more deeply
than those who have thus farbeen most
active and devoted in the work. But
its steady growth, its present strength
and activity, and the divine blessing
which has so constantly attended it,
combine to give fair promise that the
Young Men's Christian Association is
in [x>wer and usefulness till its
influence for good is felt in every part
of the continent.

After the election of these officers,
Mr. Pratt, whose term ofoffice as pressident had expired, withdrew from the
chair, which was then taken by the pre-
sident-elect.

Mr. Frank M. Eckley, was read, showing

Mr. President and Members of the
Youni; Men's Christian Association: Your
recording secretary, believing that it is neccessarily due to his position to refer briefly to certain facts recorded in his minutes, would respectfully report as follows:
Buisness has been done at fourteen meetings
during the year; viz, one annual, three special
and ten regular meetings.
The annual meeting of April 20, 1882, was
held at the house of the retiring president, Mr.
Henry VVaterhouse, the principal business of
the evening being to listen to the reports of the
retiring officers and the election of new officers.
At this time was the first election, under the
new constitution, of the trustees whose period
of office was for six years, the most important
position within the gift of the association.
This election resulted in the choice of Messrs.
Chas. M. Cooke, P. C. Jones and B. Y. Dillingham. Of the other meetings of the year,
one special and three regular meetings were
held at the Lyceum, and two special and seven
regular meetings were held at the Bethel vestry.
The average number in attentlance upon all
the business meetings of the year (not including
the annual) has lieen thirty-two, showing a decided increase tqion the preceding years. The
largest attendance was fifty-five and the smal-
lest but ten.
The three special meeting were held to consider and transact business, with reference to
our new building. The ten regular meetings

While the regular memlwrship roll has been
increased during the year by twenty-eight new
names, the association has suffered the lost of
three highly valued memliers, one by his own
withdrawal, and two by death. Memorial services were held at the vestry of Fort Street
Church, Sunday evening Oct. Ist, for our brother
and treasurer Charles T. Dillingham, whose
death took place on September 23d; and less
than two months later there followed the death
of Bradley Bishop.
While these items, as thus far presented, are
offered only as a general statement of facts,
found recorded upon the minutes of your secretary, he would, in closing, emphasize the importance of one particular transaction of business, viz: that of taking the initiative steps towards securing a general secretary. For as it
has been, and is at present, much of telling
labor, in such work as our association aims to
do, cannot lie done, because of our not having
in the field as general secretary a man whose
whole time, attention and heart can be given
to it. Many a thing deserves better than it
gets.
A request comes from a mother from abroad
to look up her lost son, who has not been
heard from for over two years, and then from
some place on Hawaii. Again, some foreign
association will, though its general secretary-, ask
us to lie on the lookout for the arrival of a
certain vessel, and seek out and gjve special
attention to certain individuals who will be on
board. Again, officers and members of foreign
associations, as they occasionally call, in passing through on the great steamship line, make
inquiries for and hunt up the Secretary of the
Honolulu Association, since he is unable to
hunt them up; and, as steamer days are the
busiest of days for those engaged in business,
these stangers generally find your secretary so
thoroughly busy that he can illy afford the
time that is their due. Again, our own housework has its special needs for care and attention, and as we enter into our own house building, these needs will liecome more numerous
and urgent, and attention to them ought not
be asked of your president, and recording secretary, whose time belongs and must be given
elsewhere. Whatever services in this line nave
been done during the past year, have been
given cheerfully and gladly, but our appreciation of what can be none makes us hail with
pleasure the act of the association towards
meeting the urgent need of a general secretary,
whose whole time can l>e given to the work.
Respectfully submitted,
William A. Bowen.

The Boslon Young Men's Christian Union
provides a truly catholic and admirable series
of entertainment during the winter. Not only
are religious services held by clergymen of all
denominations, but there are courses of pleasant lectures upon practical ethics, such as
novel reading, amusements, economy, and
"talks" upon the political history of the United
States, upon banking, upon travel, and geography, physical training, photography, and elocution, with illustrated charts. These entertainments occupy several evenings in the week.
They are the voluntary contribution of the
most eminent and accomplished clergymen and
citizens, and the public is cordially invited to
attend with the memliers of the union. To
young men who are busy during the day such
a resort, with itsgymnasiumandrcacing-rooms,
is a most attractive club, and is but another
striking illustration of that all-embracing Christian civilization which is constantly seeking to
elevate and purify and educate and restrain.
We print the foregoing from Harper's
Weekly. There are innumerable good reasons
why the Y. M. C. A.of Honolulu should be
patronized by all classes of the community. It
is of course right that the Christian element
never should be lost sight of. Yet the conductors well may take a cue from the example of
Boston, and make Christianity as popular as is
consistent with due regard for both good morals and the best intellectual effort. We take
the liberty of suggesting a series of topics for
discussion, feeling assured that we have a number of gentlemen who ought to lie able to speak
thereon entertainingly:
Success in Busines
Methods; Music; Literature; Art; Politics;
The Chinese as Colonists; The Annexation
Idea; Young Hawaii; Law, Order and Progress ; Society ami Moral Growth ; The Necessity of Segregating Lepers; Hawaiian Folk
Lore; Mathematical and Kindred Sciences;
Domestic Economy—but that subject offers too
extended a field of accomplished exemplars.
In all seriousness, we think some such scheme
of topical talks, weekly or twice a month,
might be made vastly entertaining and profitable no end.
A moral, sensible, and well-bred
man will not affront me ; and no other
can.
It is not the part of faith but of unworthy,
guilty unbelief, to assume that
there is never in the Christian life, a
victory that raises the devoted child of
(k>d above a ceaseless fight over the
selfsame ground.

DEATH OF RUTH KEELIKOLANI.
The death of this distinguished
Hawaiian chiefess, severs almost the
very last link binding the present with
the past chiefs and Royalty of the
Hawaiian Islands. Her grandfather
was King of Hawaii when Cook discovered the islands. Her mother Pauahi, was the first wife of Governor
Kekuanaoa, so distinguished in Hawaiian history. His second wife Kinau,
was the mother of two kings, Kamehameha IVth and Vth. She was the
cousin of the Hon. Mrs. C. R. Bishop
and sister-in-law of Queen Emma.
The deceased having survived these
kings and the other children of Kekuanaoa, became the rich heiress of the
royal family. She was born February
9, 1818, being at the date of her death,
May 24th, in her 66th year. It seems
fitting that she should have died at
Kailua, Hawaii, that old home and
capitol of Hawaiian Royalty, where
Kamehameha 1 died in May, 1820.
Her life extended from the days of
heathenism to the present time, having
been born a few months before the
abolition of idolatory.
Her funeral will take place on the
15th of this month, and due notice will
appear in the daily and weekly papers.

hasten to the help of the Lord in this
has occupied a more subordinate place.
When Mr. McFarlane and I set out on great enterprise. The circumstances
are augent; the object is grand and
it is
the first voyage eleven years ago,
almost literally true that we went out
not knowing whither we went. We
were bound for New Guinea indeed,
but at that time New Guinea was little
more than a name to us. Very little
was known either of it or its people.
We had an introduction to one small
island in Torres Straits, Darnley Island,
and to that we went, and succeeded in
placing a teacher upon it. At Darnley
Island we were directed to another
island, Warrior Island by name, where
information was likely to be obtained,
so we made our way to that island, and
there we were told of a small island
named Cornwallis, which might prove
a step towards gaining a footing on the
main land. But here a difficulty arose
which would have been insuperable
had not a friend whom we found on
the spot kindly assisted us.
The
master of the vessel which we had
chartered for the voyage refused to go
beyond Warrior Island on the ground
that all beyond that was unsurveyed,
and that if the vessel should be lost,
the insurance would be forfeited. Under these circumstances a boat was let
us, and a crew furnished by Captain
Bunner, the manager of a shelling
station belonging to a gentleman of
this city, Mr. Merrimard; and in the
boat with a crew of natives from the
Eastern Islands, without any whiteman,
we started for the island to which we
were directed, and by God's help, succeeded in accomplishing our object,
and so God led and guided us step by
step; and so he has continued to do
till now we seem to see a long way
ahead.
us therefore give God the
praise, for surely to him it emphatically
belongs.
And then, if God has thus gone out
before us, surely we should not be
slow to follow. He has given us what
we desired and asked He has otiened
glorious. O that the congregational
churches of Australia would rise to the
grandeur of the occasion and take hold
of the great work with something like
an adequate grasp! How blessed
would be the result to themselves!
They would find to an extent that
would surprise them, that it is more
blessed to give than to receive, and
that in imparting blessings to others,
they were themselves bountifully
blessed.
And may I address a special word to
the congregational churches of Sydney
and New South Wales. O brethren,
whatever others do let us not hang
back, and fail to extend to the perishing heathen the succour they need, and
which it is in our power to give. It is
meet and right that we should be in
the van. We are the eldest born and
may justly claim this as our birth right.
Let me therefore beg you dear friends
to take up this matter with promptitude and vigor. We have seen that
God has gone out before us, and it
cannot be otherwise than right and
safe to follow him. You know what is
needed. Money is needed; men are
needed; prayer is needed; energetic
action is needed. And O let that
action be prompt! While we linger
life is wearing away; the time for action
will soon be over. The night cometh
when man's work is done. Think of
the results. The glorious results in
time and eternity of service rendered
to Christ in carrying out his purposes
of mercy and love to our fallen race.
There can be no failure here; all well
directed, honestly intended labor for
Christ must succeed. Other objects
of pursuit may yield but small returns,
or they may yield no returns at all;
but in this cause failure is impossible.
"In due time we shall reap if we
shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to
righteousness as the stars for ever and
ever."
A Chinese Entertainment.—The
Chinese class of the Spring-street Presbyterian church, in this city, recently
gave an entertainment to their teachers
and friends who crowded the basement
of the church. Nearly two hundred
Chinamen were present, most of them
dressed in native costume. Chinese
paper shades were over all the gas-jets,
and the walls were gay with Chinese
banners and pictures. On a raised
platform stood four elegantly embroidered Chinese screens, in frames of
ebony and mother-of-pearl. Several
hymns were sung by the Chinamen,
and a duet by Hop Lee and Long
Quong was enthusiastically received.—
N. Y. Paper.
THE MISSIONARY IN ADVANCE OF
THE MERCHANT.
Reports come in the papers from
Australia, that New Guinea has been
annexed to Queensland, and hence
become a part of British Territory.
We have no doubt that this will prove
most satisfactory in the end, but it is
only another illustration of the old
story, that the helpless and unarmed
missionary goes in advance of the merchant and the soldier. The missionarymakes it safe for them to follow.
If England had not thus taken
possession of New Guinea, undoubtedly Germany or Italy or France,
would have done so in a very short
time. Vessels of those nations have
for years been hovering around the
shores of that great and populous
island, but not seemingly willing to
risk the danger and expense of life, of
making a permanent landing on its
shores. It is earnestly to be hoped,
England will now succeed in effectually
putting a stop to kidnapping of the
natives on this and all other islands in
the Western Pacific. If England can
succeed in putting a stop to the traffic
in fire arms, gun powder and rum, a
bright future awaits New Guinea, but if
not, then the poor aborigines must waste
away like the natives of other islands
and lands have done.
Surveyor-General Alexander will go to
Lahaina next Tuesday, in company with Mr.
Preston and Ensign Brown, of the scientists
on board the Hartford, to make pendulum
observations there. They will, if possible, find
the exact spot on which the French Captain
Freycinet made like observations in 1819.

DIED.
Hi NT-Died in Honolulu, May 27th, Mr. Andrew
Hunt, native of Duxbury, Mans., about 40 years of
age. He had resided on the islands about a year and
acted as an engineer. He has a brother residing in
Sacramento, Cat. *fsV California papers please copy.

son of Mr. C. F. Wolfe, aged 6 year* and 8 months.
Damon- Died in Reading, Massachusetts, Mr. John
Damon, March 9th, in the 89th year of his age. He
was born in Reading, February 6, 1795, in the sth
generation, after his forefather, John Damon, who
emigrated from Reading, FnglancL in 1633, where he
was born in 1720. Many persons of this mame arc still
residing in Reading, Massachusetts, The Reading
Chronicle of March 17, 1883, contains the following
obituary notice of John Damon: "He was the child
of pious parents, who dedicated him in his infancy to
the service of dod. He united with the Old South
Church nearly seventy yearsago. For a life to stretch
from century to century is an event rarely seen, and
more so if through these years one enjoys all the
faculties of his heart and brain, keen and vigorous to
the last. This was the case with Mr, Damon. His
memory was a perfect encyclopaedia of knowledge that
carried in retentive grasp datesand minutia as readily
as the more marked events of the years that have come
and gone in long procession. He was a man of great
kindness of heart, and children alwas found in him a
sympathizing friend. Three children survive him,
two daughters and one son." Tomb stones in Reading
and other places whither the family have migrated,
show that many descendants of the original John
Damon, have attained to any advanced age. One lies
buried in Amherst, N. H., aged 93; another in Nashua,
N. IL, aged 90; another in Westminister, Mass., aged
97; and many others over four score.

Y. M. C. A. CONTINUED.
We have received exchanges from
several other Y. M. C. A.'s, and now
have the means of offering them to the
use of the public. Many of them contain much interesting reading matter,
and will serve to give us a better idea
of the Y. M. C. A. work in other
places, also suggestions that will be of
individual assistance in our own part
of the work. They can be found in
the reading room. Read them by all
means.
The next subject for debate—"Will
these islands have direct telegraphic
connection with the United States,
within the next ten years?" was proposed, and accepted, the date of which
will be announced by the committee
hereafter. Every one is cordially invited to these debates whenever announced, and are free to take part,
subject only to the few simple rules
necessary to order.
About twelve young men have
availed themselves of the privilege of
learning book-keeping at Mr. Jones'
Monday evening class. This is a
privilege that we wonder still more
young men do not accept, for certainly
no more efficient teacher could possibly be provided in any community.
Mr. Jones offers to meet any who wish
to come regularly on Monday evenings,
and proposes to give them a course,
that will enable them at its close, to
take charge of a set of books ; and this
is a privilege not often offered to this
community, and that too free of charge.
The Rev. Mr. Lawks, New Guinea Missionary.—ln a late issue of
the Advertiser has a letter from this
gentleman, copied from a Sydney
paper. It was our privilege to hear
the Rev. Mr. lawes on the Anniversary Platform in Exeter Hall, London, in 1880. He presented the
claims of the London Missionary
Society. We can truly say, that no
more eloquent platform speaker apl>eared during the May meetings in
London that year, and we heard all the
prominent speakers including Spurgeon, the late Archbishop of Canterbury, and many others. Mr. I.awes

A Sunday school entertainment of the foreign church, Hilo, was given Sunday eve,
May 20th. 11 was arranged by Mr. S. L.

was the "Prodigal Son," in which the school
did itself great credit, as well as the promoters
of the entertainment. The building was unusually full. The young men of the Hilo
Hoarding School sang a selection in their usual
fine manner.

The regular monthly meeting was
held on the 17th of May, and the large
attendance of members was
considering the attractive entertainment
held at the Music Hall on the same
evening. Tne reports were listened to,
new members were accepted, and considerable business transacted.
The
question of continuing our assistance
to the Chinese work was the most im]>ortant
business.
It seemed to the general opinion,
that with our greatly increased expenses,
that this part of the work must necessarily be discontinued. We were glad to
hear Mr. P. C. Jones pro]x>se to consider this question farther, and not to
be hasty in withdrawing our sup|>ort,
until it is made very plain that it
should Ix; done for want of means.
The question was therefore deferred
till another meeting. Let us hope and
pray that the way and means may be
provided, not only to continue this part
of our work, but also to meet any newdemands from the Lord, which when
we are sure they are from Him, let us
not begin to compare the means, to
the work, or our pockets, but exercise
our best judgment and faith, to the
end that He will send us no work to
do for Him for which He will not also
freely provide the means to accomplish.
With the forward step we have
recently taken, shall we at the very first
approach of a little heavier burden
than we can apparently bear, become
faint and expect to enlarge our usefulness, if one of the first transactions in
our new building is that of forsaking,
rather than assuming work, that is
manifestly laid before us ?
God does not call us to engage in
His work on the ground of our ability,
but ofhis own ; and it is only positive
distrust of Him that will lead us for a
moment ever to think of rclinguishing
any of His work, l>ecau.se of the heavy
responsibilities attaching thereto.

Let us remind the chairmen of our
various committees who have not yet
had their first meeting, that it is high
time to be at work.
Some of our committees have organized, and got earnestly at work, as you
may judge for yourselves if you go to
the prison, hospital, and shipping. At
the Saturday and early Sabbath evening's meeting, you will find a member
of their committe in the street extending invitations to passers-by to a seat
inside, and many are being brought in
by this means.
A committee room has been provided for your use, and all your meet-
ings should be held there if possible.
Remember that the General Secretary
is one of your committee, and wishes
to be present to take minutes of all the
proceedings, in order to leave on
record a full report of all the committees, and what they do from the time
of entering our new building.
By reference to our committee

hence, to

every convenience for washing, bathing,

will be a large room, convenient for
many gymnastic appliances, if thought
advisable which may be easily arranged
when the room is desired for meetings
or classes.
Mr. E. W. Peterson is kindly preparing for our use, in a large book
made for the purpose, the names
and address of every young man they
have on the Post-office books, and all
that he can ascertain by every other
means in his iiower.
We hope by this means, to be able
to communicate with every young man
on the Hawaiian Islands, and extend
to them an invitation to visit our rooms
whenever they come to this city.
By watching all future arrivals, we
bid fair to be prepared to assist any of
them we can, and to meet in the
future, the many letters of inquiry sent
to ascertain news of missing young
men.
This book will be of constant and
valuable use to the association, both
now and in the future.

Sabbath afternoon, June 17th, the
impressive funeral services of the
Princess Ruth Keelikolani took place
from her late residence on Emma street.
We copy as follows, from the Saturday
Press of
June 23rd:
On the day of the funeral, crowds of natives
were coming antl going all morning. The
funeral preparations were made under the
direction of Mr. S. M. Damon. The coffin
could scarcely have been in l>etter taste. It
was not the beauty of elalx>ralion so much as
the beauty of richness, of grain, of |x)lish aud
elegant design. The inscription, placed on a
shield shaped silver plate was ns follows:

Kaikamahinc a Pauahi a me Kekuanaoa,

(Her Highness, Ruth Keelikolani Keanolani Kanahoahoa, daughter of Pauahi and Kekuanaoa, bom in
Honolulu, Oahu, February 9, 1826, died at Kailua,
Hawaii, May 24, 1883.)
Over the coffin was a pall of elark velvet, on
which the royal court-of-arms was embroidered
in several places. On this rested a floral

chose for his text Acts xvii: 26, .27 ;
"And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the fat c
of the earth; and hath determined the
times before appointed, and the bound*
of their habitations. That they should
seek the Lord, if haply they might feel
after him, and find him. though he be
not far from every one of us." The
doctrine founded on this text was announced as the brotherhood of the
human tace. This topic was treated in
I most scholarly and interesting man
ncr, evincing a mind which was accustomed to take a wide range of observation, and ca|iable of generalizing the
facts of universal history. For one hour
and more we listened with eager delight
to the reasoning and illustrating the
theme of the discourse. In the course
of his remarks, he spoke of the succei
live eras of civilization, comment-in.;
with the Oriental or Asiatic, and then
rapidly passing over the Hebrew, Grecian and Roman eras, and finally dest rthing that of the European or Chris
tian. The closing paragraphs of the
discourse indicated that Dr. Cocker's
mind was awake to solemn responsibili
ties of the Christian church to preach
the gospel to the nations of the earth.
The particular point to which he
thought all the energies of Protestant
Christendom should now be directed
was that of laboring for the Oriental
nations of Asia, but especially the Chinese, now rushing in such immense
numbers to the Pacific coast. For the
first time in the world's history, he
remarked, that the tide of migration
was flowing from the west to the east,
whereas in all former ages it had been

We would add, that on several Ota 1
lions, we have given island students
going to Michigan University letters of
introduction to Professor Cocker, and
they have been most kindly received.
P. S. Since writing the aliove para
graphs, at a late prayer meeting, at the
Bethel vestry, we were gratified to hear
some most interesting and |iertinent remarks, respecting the character of Professor Cocker as a lecturer, preacher
and scholar, from Mr. Kinney, late a
law student in Michigan University.
He often heard him preach and lecture,
and testified to his great influence
among professors and students.

THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
THE SAW MILLS
In this vicinity. The great increase of
the population of California, which has
nearly doubled in twelve years, has
caused the erection of numerous sawmills, which are fast destroying the
forests of the mountains. But a new
growth of youngevergreens is beginning,
which, is to be hoped, will be protected
from the fires recklessly made by Indians and travelers. But it will take
ages for thetn to grow as great as the
gigantic trees that here now amaze and
delight us. In spite of the snow
THE MINES
Still resound with thestrokes of the pick
and drill and with explosions of powder.
They are worked through the winter
as well as through the summer. These
mountains, which are granite at their
summits, below this slate, next serpentine, and next sandstone with rifts
oflava through this strata, contain in
their conglomerated dei>osits immense
treasures of gold. Here in some places
these treasures are sought by "drifting,'
which consists in tunneling into the
hills and conveying out the gravels to
be washed. In other places the bills
are washed down by hydraulic power.
I visited the Cherokee mine, the largest
hydraulic mine in the world. Its excavation was like a huge crater, three
quarters of a mile broad by a mile and
a half long and three hundred feet
deep. Eight hundred feet of pressure
of water is used in this mine. It has
yielded gold to the value of $ 100,000
per month. But its slickens " have
so overspread immense tracts l>elow.
that the owners have had to spend
nearly a million dollars in buying out
the protesting farmers. I saw the
flumes ofanother hydraulic mine, which,
after an expenditure of $150,000, was
stopped by injunctions made by the
farmers. In another place a tunnel
was being dug to turn off the Feather
river so as to explore 16 miles of its
bed. Surface mining has nearly ceased.
Its effects are everywhere to be seen
in heaps of gravel and stone over wide
areas of ruined land. It is sad to think
how many disappointed hopes, how
much suffering and loss and death have
attended these enterprises.' More

But a change has come as by
enchantment. Now there are miles
upon miles of waving grain, like the
valley of the Nile, vineyards like those
of France, olive and fig and orange and
lemon groves like those of Italy, and
with these orchards of all the fruitbearing trees of the temperate zone.
Far up in the foothills I saw homes
embowered in roses and honeysuckles
and surrounded by orchards and farms
crowding against the pine forests. One
such home, situated at Oroville, I must
particularly mention. It was the residence of Mr. C. H. Wilcox, who
came hither irom our Islands in 1857,
and has ever since remained here, prosperous and resected. Thirteen years
ago, while the agent of the railroad
depot, he received an orange with freight
consigned to his care. He divided his
present with a friend. After each had
eaten of the fruit and remarked its excellence, Mr. W., in a jesting way, said,
"Suppose we plant the seeds and see
whether they will grow." He picked up
an empty oyster can, filled it with some
of the red soil of the street, planted the
seeds in it, and kept it well watered in
his office. In the spring tiny orangesprouts appeared, which in due timewere
set out and cared for. The result is that
he now has an orchard that yields the
finest oranges in the state. I .ast year his
crop was 5,000 oranges. We found

THE SALVATION ARMY
Holding meetings in a large tent at Oroville. I was a few minutes in one of their
meetings. I saw nothing grotesque or
objectionable. A choir of ladies with
sweet voices sang gospel hymns. Two
men by turns made exhortation, often
relating words somewhat as follows,
help you men ! Give up to God.
"ItCod
is time for you to give up your drinking and thieving and other sins." Their
labors were so successful that they were
prolonging their stay. Two clergymen ot
the place were heartily assisting. Whatever good they can do here is greatly
needed, where the peculiarity of mining
times, profanity, gambling and |>articularly intemperance still greatly prevail.
It is cheering to see how the American
|>eople are awaking against these vices.
The temperance reform will be the great
movement of the future. Everywhere in

raising of the cost of licenses, so as to
freeze out a great number of low groggeries. The consummation to be most
sought is total prohibition. This, with
gospel temperance meetings everywhere,
like those of Honolulu, will in time displace thelow saloons and gambling hells

Souvenir.— Col. Norris,
who oscillates between Honolulu and
San Francisco with the regularity of a
pendulum, measuring off the moments
on a clock, met us recently with his
usual aloha, and presented a "John
Howard Payne souvenir" from the
press of Prang & Co., of Boston. It is
a fac-simile ol his famous song "Home,
Sweet Home," in his own handwriting.
It appears to he the copy made by
Mr. Payne, in 1849, a short time
before he left the United States for his
Consulate, in Tunis. This fact is certified to by various members ofCongress,
and who vouch for the correctness of
the publication. It also contains a
facsimile, from life, of a pencil jiortrait,
by Miss Freeman, a celebrated |x>rtrait
painter of New York. We highly prize
these mementoes of the celebrated song
and its gifted author. We are thereby
reminded of an event in our college
life at Amherst in 1833, or '34, when
Mr. Payne visited the institution and
was enthusiastic in his effort to establish
an International Magazine, to be

The author of this charming volume
of travels in the Malay Peninsula has
fully established her character as a
good traveler and descriptive writer,
by her previous books. Having read
jiortions of this volume as they appeared in the London Leisure Hour,
we were prepared to appreciate these
letters "as a whole," addressed to that
sister, to whom all her former letters
were written, and about whom we find
this touching paragraph in the preface ;
" My present volume has been prepared for publication under the heavyshadow of the loss of the beloved and
only sister, to whom the letters of
which it consists were written, and
whose able and careful criticism, as
well as loving interest, accompanied
my former volumes through the press."
It is a singular and noteworthy fact
that decidedly the most remarkable
female tourist and best English writer
of the passing age, should be a frail
lady who thus alludes to her infirmity
in ' Letter I,' while being terribly inrommoded, in the China seas
" During those cold, dark, noisydays, when even the stewards could
scarcely keep their feet, I suffered so
:
much in my spine, from the violent
movements of the ship, that I did not
leave my cabin ; and, besides being unable to read, write or work, owing to
the darkness, I was obliged to hold on
by day and night, to avoid being much
hurt by the rolling, my berth being
athwart ship." Old voyagers knowhow to appreciate such "knocking
about " at sea, but Miss Bird is bound
to see the world, and esjiecially travel
those unbeaten paths," which or-
"
dinary tourists avoid, hence her books
are so popular.
For many reasons, the Malay Peninsula, or "The (tolden Chersonese,"
merits a study. Just now, the Chinese
are crowding its towns and developing
its resources, under British rule. Not
only Singapore, but other towns and
cities are assuming importance under
Chinese enterprise. If anyone desires
to learn what industry and thrift will
accomplish, let him read this volume.
There is one feature of this volume,
1883.
as well as the other volumes, by Miss
Bird, which has s|>ccially attracted our
attention. It is this the admirable
facility with which the writer employs
her pen to describe the botanical and
geological characteristics of the Malay
Peninsula. This same feature is also
apparent in Miss Cumming's books on
the islands of Polynesia. These English
ladies do possess a scientific knowledge,
which they employ to a most useful
put|»ose. These books in this respect,
remind us of Fllis' Polynesian Researches, and of his Madagascar volumes. Knowledge thus employed, in
our estimation, constitutes a very high
order of talent, and writers able thus to
employ their scientific attainments are
to be envied. Our limits will not allow
us to copy interesting paragraphs, but
the Press has favored our island readers with many choice paragraphs.
We would acknowledge our indebtedness for this advanced copy of " The
Golden Chersonese," from the London
Press, to Mrs. Robinson of Kauai, who
is now traveling in Europe.
Perseverance Rewarded..-We
arrived at Honolulu early on Sunday
morning, and Governor Dominis
brought me to this pleasant house,
which is alike the home of his mother
and of Princess Liliuokalani, his wife.
The latter occupies her own suite of
apartments. Mr. Dominis has commended me to the etpecial care of his
mother, a dear old lady, stiff with
rheumatism, and her hands shaking
with pain, but bright and clever, and
full of keen interest in life. As we sat
in her veranda, looking at the lovely
masses of blossom and the pleasant
turf lying in cool shadow beneath large
beautiful trees, she told me she remembered when there were only seven trees
in the whole valley, and bow she herself began to make the very first garden
at Honolulu, by preparing a tiny plot
before the window of her own barewooden house, and there attempting to
strike some geranium cuttings—an attempt much discouraged by her husband, who assured her that it was ho|>eless to think of making anything growon such soil. The young wife was not
easily daunted, however. She i>ersevered till her garden was a source of
amazement to her few neighbors, who,
of course, followed her good example.
Now she lives to see that region of fine
cinders converted into a flourishing
town, where hundreds of happy homes
are embowered in beautiful flowers, and
shaded by tall trees of many different
species, all growing so naturally that
strangers, on arriving here, suppose
them to be the spontaneous vegetation
of these lavish tropics. Fire Fountains. By C. F. Gordon Gumming, in
Blackwood.

WHY DO NOT THE CHINESE BUILD
THEIR OWN CHURCHES?
This question is frequently asked,
and to answer it we have been requested to print the following paragraph, from our last Sabbath morning's
discourse:
"In reply, I can only say, here we
have 15,000 or 16,000 strangers on
our islands, born in a heathen land.
Now, is it reasonable to expect such
paraom will contribute to build Christian churches ? It is not to expected
that men will pay for preaching to convert themselves from the superstition
and idolatry of China, to the principles of the Christian religion. Here
is just the point wherein we are to
show our love for the stranger in our
midst. Agreeable to the teachings of
Moses, as carried out by Joshua, we
are to gather these strangers in places
where they may listen lo the teachings
of Jesus Christ."
We would add, that the Chinese
merchants, shop-keepers and laborers,
did contribute very generously for the
Honolulu Chinese church, and so they
are doing for the Kohala church.
Most of the professing Christians
among the Chinese do not belong to
the class accounted rich and proaperous. Under all the circumstances, we
confidentially assert that the Chinese
have contributed liberally. They arc
now laying their plans to sup|>ort their
pastor at Kohala, as they are doing
in Honolulu.
Home Society.-We read with
pleasure the re]K>rts of the various
gatherings of our fellow residents, for
the purpoae of organizing a society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals
and unkindness to human beings.
May success attend their efforts. We
would call special attention to the fact
that many of our citizens, driving fine
horses are using a "curb," which is
strongly condemned by Mr. Berg and
the friends of animals in the United
States. We ho]>e the society will circulate "Our Dumb Animals," a monthly
periodical published in Boston, and
which are have had for a long time

FUNDS NEEDED.
At the last meeting of the association, it was decided to go on and complete the unfinished portion of the
hall, after the necessary funds had
been raised. It will require in round
numbers a thousand dollars. The unfinished room on the ground floor will
l>e floored over and furnished for the
use of Mr. I'. ('. Jones' hook-keeping
class and other kindred purposes. At
present, his classes have to meet in the
reading room, inconveniencing readers.
Now that the association has fairly
taken up its quarters in the building,
it is found that a gymnasium so near
the reading room would be wholly impracticable, and without another room
for general purposes, the association
would be cram|x.'d. With the $1,000,
baths and a toilet room will also be put
in to the rear of the new room, and if
in due time, the association feels the
need of a gymnasium and bowling
alley, the yard on the Kwa side of the
building will make a good site for a
light airy wooden building for that
purpose. The room in the main building is too small and close for a gymnasium. The moving, however, that
the committee l>e authorized to go
ahead and secure funds antl complete
the building, and the actual securing
those funds are two very different
things, and the committee, P. ('.
Jones, R. I.ishman, and J. 15. Atherton, now lack $700 of the necessary
amount.

It is a revelation. Hundreds of men
who have labored for years and become thoroughly imbued with the

emotions of the hour into one and two
minute speeches. Prominent among

Britain, bearing a letter from the Bail

loud applause.
This is an age of combinations of
all kinds, and the Y. M. C. A. movement is a combination vast and growing. It has its association secretaries,
state secretaries and international secretaries its college, commercial travelers,
railway, German speaking secretaries,

was only started a few years ago. yet it
now employs sixty-one secretaries, and
expends $75,000 a year, two-thirds of
which amount is contributed by the
railroad companies themselves. ('.

Mr. Cassidy, on the prison committee, reported that, as he did not
feel competent to conduct the meetings alone, he only visited the prison
on Sundays, that Mr. Lees, his colleague, felt strong enough to attend.
Mr. B, C. Damon, one of the committee to visit the sick, reported visiting the hospital, as usual. Among the
sic k were some Japanese sailors, but
unfortunately, there was no interpreter
at hand.
Mr. P. C. Jones, reporting for the
employment committee, said that he
had called a meeting of that committee, but was the only one present.
After some pertinent remarks, he set
the time for another meeting.
In another column will be found
mention of the building committee's
work.
The epiestion was then raised whether
the association should continue the
support of a Chinese colporteur. Opinions were expressed both ways, and the
matter was postponed to next meeting,
Judge Judd expressing the desire that
the association should commence
pioneer work among the Portuguese,
as they have done among the ('hinese.

Christians, who have been greatly
cheered by the noble, brotherly feeling
manifested towards them by fellow
Christians of different nationalities, and
for myself, most res|>ectfully and
heartily thank all those who have aided
in this undertaking. Their gifts, with
those of the Chinese, have hel[>ed to

their methods of work, the fruits of
long and laborious experience.
It has been a source of no little
pleasure to me that my proposed plan
has seemed to give great satisfaction to
my Chinese friends, who see in it a
pledge of continued friendship and
sympathy. It must be patent to every
thoughtful observer that in the future
of our islands this people, representing
the greatest of Asiatic nations, is to be
a most influential factor. Our responsibility is greater than words tan express. God has given us, as Christians,

missionary experience among the Chinese of all conditions, in all parts of

information to be derived from a visit
to the native land of this j>eople,
through a more intimate acquaintance
with Chinese manners and customs,
and methods of thought, and the larger
acquaintance with their most difficult
and intricate languane, which is onlyobtainable on their own soil, will be of
service in future efforts in their behalf
on our own shores. It will be my aim,
so far as possible, to visit the districtsof
the Kwangtung province, from which
our Punti and Hakka Chinese come,
to see the friends and relatives of rriany
known to me here, and to study the
character and home-life of the |>eople.
Especially do I look forward to conference with missionaries of different
denominations in southern China, from
whose folds so large a number of our
Chinese Christians have come, and to
whom we owe so much, hoping to gain
much needed help and counsel from
them personally, and through study of
themselves blest.
During my absence, the work of the
mission will go on as heretofore. My
father, Rev. S. C. I >amon, will act for
me, and attend to all matters connected
with the superintendence of the Chinese
mission.

gratitude for the generous aid afforded
the mission, and asking a continued
interest in the prayers of Christian
friends, both for the work and the
workers,—I remain., most respectfully,

DEATH OF MOFATT.
What precious memories are called
by the announcement of this
missionary's death. His birth dates in
the closing years of the last century.
He sailed for South Africa in 1816, the
same year that Kills and Williams, the
martyr of ICrromanga, left England for
the South Seas. What noble young
men, Moffatt, Ellis and Williams, start

among the heathen, and how nobly
these three men bore the "burden and
heat" of the day! Williams died the
martyrs/leath November 30, 1839; Ellis,
after laboring in the South Seas, Hawaiian Islands, making three visits to
Madagascar, died in England in 1872,
while the remaining member of the illustrious trio has recently died in England. It is well known that his daughter
married the renowned African explorer
Livingston. The world has telt the influence of these noble men, whose
labors were so wide-spread and farreaching. Their fame is world-wide,
and their memories will be cherished
in grateful remembrance so long as time

The Last Find at Pompeii.—A
beautiful painting has been discovered
in the ruins of Pompeii, representing
the ''Judgment ofSolomon." It is said
to be the first Dictate on a sacred subject
that has been discovered in the buried
cities. A correspondent, describing the
picture, says:"On a dais sits a king
holding a scepter and robed in white.
On each side of him sits a councilor,
and behind them six soldiers under
arms. The king is leaning over the
front of the dais toward a woman in a
green robe, who kneels before him with
disheveled hair and outstretched hands.
In the center is a three-legged table,
like a butcher's block, upon which lies
an infant, who is held in a recumbent
position, in spite of his struggles, by a
woman wearing a turban. A soldier in

Calvert, 1883. Messrs. Stillnian, Macfarlane, Hrown, Dowsed, Deering, Fisher,
Hustace and Calvert, are still in the
service of the bank. Kaluna has been from
the beginning, with short intervals of
absence, the porter of the bank and the bank
building. The first office of liishop A Co.
was in the east corner of the Makee Block,
where they occupied a room about 16x12, until,
by a gradual absorption, the business required
the use of one-half of the lower floor of the
block. The establishment moved into its
nresent handsome quarters in May, 1878. It
had but three correspondents at the start, but
has now agents in many of the principal parts
of the world, the last one being Rothchilds in
London.

A. Martin writes from Hilo as fol ows:
"Frank W, Damon has visited Hilo.
All whoknow him anil his work must be well
aware that good is accomplished wherever he
goes. A building has been rented here and
fitted up for a Chinese meeting-house; and has
beta opened with appropriate services. Rev.
S. C. Damon and wife nave aided Iheir son
greatly while al Hilo. On the evening of the
15th instant, there was a social gathering at
the meetinghouse which was formerly occupied as a residence by Asa Clark, an old resident of Hilo. The building is large enough at
present, but it is hoped a larger one will be
required, and that a church and a school-room
will be erected in time; at present, the school
meet in the foreign church. At the social
gathering, which was a large one, addresses
were made by Rev. Mr. Damon, Rev. E. P.
Baker, Le Loy and Frank Damon. At the
close of the gathering, a good cup of tea, with
cakes, were handed round. All friends believe
much good will come from this effort, and the
«n friends are numerous."

Size, Anchorage, etc—lt is about 3 miles in diameter;
flat; the white beach being about 20 feet high, and tlie
entire island is -in■mounted by trees and bushes, varying from 20 to 60 feet above the crown of the beach.
The shipping place is on the western side. Anchorage is good in 10 to 55 fathoms to about half-a-mile
from the shore, with no outlying dangers, and as the
prevailing windsare easterly, good protection is afforded
to \essel».
Current The current sets almost invariably to the
westward, with more or less force, according to the
strength of the trade wind. The latter, also, to some
extent, influences its direction. The force may be estimated at alxmt a knot an hour.
Prevailing winds are usually from east by north to
east by south, and arc pretty legular from early in
April to earl) in Decernl>er. In the other four months
they are occasionally variable. Shipmasters are advised to make the island well to windward, as uiui h
time may l>e lost in l>eating up against the wind and
current, if once their \evsels get to leeward.
Signal*, etc Ships are communicated with by the
Commercial Code of Signals; and, on arrival of a
wssel, Captain Mann, the manager of the island, who
is a competent shipmaster, with an experience of several
years aim Miy the islands, will go on Iward and give directions a- tn anchorage, etc.
Shipment of Cargo—The guano is brought alongside
within reach of ship's tackles in boat- provided by the
shipper-. It is shipj>cd in bags, which are to be returned when empty.

•
the occasion being the formal dedication of the
new church recently erected for them at Kainpihi. The lot of land was generously donated
for the MMMSfI hy the Kohala Plantation
Company, while the other planters generally
without particularly mentioning names—
have liherally Contributed to the building fund,
which ha* reached the sum of $2,765. The
Chinese here and in Honolulu have given
$900; $100 was donated l>y the native church
(Rev. Mr. Hond's), while foreigners generally,
hut more particularly in Honolulu, have contributed generously for this worthy purpose.
The entire cost of the church building and the
adjacent parsonage is estimated at about
$3,400—having a balance of a little over $600
to l>e provided for, which, it is hoped, there
will be no serious difficulty in obtaining. The
church building is 50 feet long, exclusive of
vestibule and pulpit recess, by 26 feet wide.
The ordinary seating rapacity is three hundred. The structure is a remarkably pretty
one, the plans having been drawn by Mr. C.
J. Wall, the Honolulu architect, and the work
executed by Mr. Wong Hee, a Chinese
builder, in as workmanlike and thorough a
a manner as could have been done by the
mechanics of any nationality. The style of
the building is Gothic. The outside sheathing
is oft. and g. boards set perpendicularly, and
surfaced em both sides, ns all of the framework
of the house is exposed within, but surfaced,
and painted a somewhat light color, with
darker trimmings, while all the rafters and
braces overhead are painted dark. The
shingles arc laid on t. and g. boards, with the
surfaced side turned inward.
The building is surmounted with a neat
latticed belfry. On the west end is a portico,
and on the east end is an alcove forming the
pulpit, thus giving the audience-room the entiro Ihmlv of the clnirce. On either side ol the
pulpit are two large tablets, some 4xB or thereabouts, facing the audience, the one containing the ten commandments, and the other the
creed and doxology; and over the pulpit
" Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at
hand." All in Chinese.
Work remains to lie done to the pastor's
house and to a waiting-room for women and
ohildren. The parsonage is situated makai
and westward of the church. All will be surrounded by a neat picket fence, and will be
finished in about two weeks.
The church membership at present numbers
seventy-eight, under the pastorate of Mr.
Kong Tet Yin. The members are mostly
from the Basle and Khenish missions in
China.
On the day of the dedication, the little
church was fairly crammed with representatives
of three races—the Chinese, the Hawaiian and
the Caucasian. It was interesting and impressive to note, that several familiar hymns—
such as Coronation, All Hail the lower of
Jesus' Name, From (Greenland's ley Mountains
undthe Doxology—were sung in three different
languages at the same time. It was a matter
of surprise to see so many Chinese won.e-n
present. There could not have been less than
tifty; all were neatly ilressed, and one of them
played quite skillfully on the parlor organ
with which the church is provided. Among
the audience were a number of foreign ladies
of the district, who evidently took much interest in the proceedings. The interior e>f the
church, in front of the desk and the desk itself, had been beautifully and tastefully decorated by these ladies with flowers and evergreens.
The recess behind the desk or rostrum was
occupied by the Rev. Or. Damon, Rev. Mr.
Bond, Mr. F. \V. Damon and the Chinese
colporteurs and evangelists, Messrs. Kong Tet
Yin, Tien Ten Kei and Sit Moon. Rev. Mr.
I louston, of the foreign church, came in later.

It is evident to all, that to dedicate by
fitting ceremonies a house built for the service
of God, is a becoming act. It is for this jmrjiose, therefore, thai we are now assembled,
that we may separate, by becoming rites, this
house for the service <>f God.
"Willi gratitude to Him, that Ilehasled our
hearts to undertake this enterprise for the glory
of His holy name, and for the help He has
afforded us in collecting the funds necessary
for its completion—here we stand before Him,
anil together consecrate this building to the
Worship of Jehovah that is, for the reading
of His holy word, the proclamation of His
gospel that purities the hear: of man, the service of song to His praise, and the observance
eif the symbeilic ordinances kept by the Church
of Christ, and for any other service pertaining
to the worship of God,
" And now, we consecrate and set apart this
house—nt all its several parts —this sacred
desk, these seats, these walls -everything
herein and belonging to this building, for the
upbuilding of the kingdom of Christ in the
hearts of men. And we beseech the Divine
Spirit of Truth and Orace to abide here, forever and ever, and to prepare us, and all who
may henceforth worship herein, for His better
and holier service in the heaven to come.
Hut we would not forget that this dedication has no worthy significance, unless the
hearts of the worshippers are in the service,
and so I call upon you all here present to give
yourselves to God now, that your souls may be
renewed and made obedient to God, and your
bodies also, that they may be temples of the
Holy Ghost,
"Let us consecrate loGod, lure and ;«:.',
the work of our hands and all the thoughts of
our hearts, so that His kingdom niny speedily
come and His will be done, by all men upon
the earth, ami that God may lie gracious to

us."
In his remarks, Mr. Bond spoke of the
arrival in Kohala, of the first band of Chinese
Christians, who arrived as Contract laborers,
and detailed the efforts to hold meetings with
and secure a preacher for them and those who
followed.
During the services there were baptized by
I ir. Damon, live men, receiving the names of
Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and IVtcr, and
one woman Elisabeth) also the infant child of
the pastor, receiving the namt of John.
In the evening, the congregation in the
foreign church, gave close attention to a very
interesting talk by Dr. Damon concerning
the Chinese in general, the condition of their
missions in China, and their histoiy in these
islands. He was convinced from all that he
had read of history on the subject, that the
"Sinim" of the Bible, of whom the prophet
had foretold that they should all lie converted,
was the "China" of the present day.
"In conclusion," writes Mr. Sheldon, "it
may be stated, that the money contributed by
friends has secured the erection not only of
the church and a most convenient and comfortable parsonage for the preacher, but also a
large and airy school-room, to be used for a
day-school and for Sunday and week-day
Bible classes. There is in addition to this a
pleasant room to be used in case of necessity
by any sick, disabled or needy member of the

'I'he regular meeting of the association fell, in the last month, on Thursday, the 16th. Owing to the absence
of many of the officers, on vacations,
the meeting was not held till the following Thursday. Only fourteen persons were present at the meeting, but
the business done was of some interest,
and was pushed forward without any
dilly-dallying. Mr. C. Cooke occupied
the chair, and Mr. E. C." Damon held
the post of secretary pro tern. The
treasurer reported that many accounts
were still unpaid, and that money did
not come in too fast for him to count
it. Mr. P. C. Jones, Jr., reported, on
behalf of the building and entertainment committees, that they had met,
and agreed to hold a sociable entertainment in the hall, with ice-cream,
etc., the proceeds to be devoted to the
liquidation of a sum of about $500,
still due for necessary alterations and
repairs. Again, on behalf of the employment committee, he stated that
good work was being done in this
direction, as far as circumstances would
permit. Mr. Burgess had been able to
find employment for a good many carpenters and others, and he himself had
found lucrative positions for three or
four. A register was kept of all the
applications for employees or employment, but it was found that the latter
far outnumbered the former. The representatives of other committees had

directed that reports should be handed
in from various committees at the next
meeting. It was resolved that the
matter of continuing to support the
Chinese colporteur should be referred
to the committee on Chinese work,
with instructions to report in favor of
some definite action at the next meeting. The collection taken upamounted
to $16.70. The vacations have taken
away so many of our members that but
little work seems to have been done in
the past month. Those who have remained have labored faithfully in their
various paths. It seems a pity that in
the vacation, when so many strangers
are to be seen, so little is done to ad-
minister to their wants. The weekly The committee on the appointment

our minds from the burden of worldly
cares for a while, to rest our wearied
bodies and brains, not to give our souls
a rest. This rest is only found in Jesus.
Yet, many would seem to think that it
is found in absenting oneself from
church, and the due observance of
those rites which draw us nearer to
each other and to our God.
It seems a pity that more energy
could not be shown by members of the
association in using the hall upstairs.
It is so seldom used that it has been
let for other than association purposes
several times. This ought not to be.
Some little entertainment once a week,
a lecture on some interesting or instructive subject, a singing or elocution
class, a concert —all these, and many
more things, could be had with a little
energy on the part of the younger
members. Rouse up!
Some weeks ago a professor in one
of the N. E. Colleges thus wrote us:
"It is regarded as a great thing here
for one to have traveled so far westward as the Hawaiian Islands. lam
the only person in town who has set
his foot west of the Rocky Mountains.''
Of course it is all-important for professors in colleges and seminaries of
learning to be at their posts in term
time, still we do think that the trustees
of the institutions would study the
welfare of the students and the community at large if they should not only
allow, but make provision for the professors and teachers to travel abroad in
foreign lands. The world is not, as
yet, fully explored. What a field to
the Islands of Micronesia and the South
Seas open for the naturalist, the philologists, the general tourist.
The library and reading rooms of
the association are getting better patronized every month. Habitual attendance is noticed on the part of
some. This gratifying result will no
doubt be largely increased when we
have a good general secretary.
B. Bond, M. D.—We learn that this
gentleman, a son of the Rev. E. Bond,
of Kohala, who has, during the past
ten years, been pursuing his college
and medical studies in the United
States, has arrived by the last mail
steamer from California, and that he
expects to enteT upon the practice of
his profession in Kohala.
Dr. Damon has been away at the
opening of the Chinese Church at Kohaladuring the month, but has returned.

HEROISM REWARDED.
Christ's Care for Dumb Anieals.—Note,
also, what no one notes,
that Christ was born among the cattle,
and the camels, and the horses, and the
sheep, because he was to be for them
also a redemptive influence. It means
mercy for overladen, and overdriven,
and underfed, and poorly sheltered,
and galled, and maltreated animal creation. Hath he, who compared himself
to the dove, no cares for the cruelties
of pigeon shooting? Hath he, who
compared himself to the lamb, no care
for the sheep, dying contorted and with

THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1883,
OBERLIN COLLEGE.
There is no subject in which we take
more delight than in watching the
growth of schools and colleges, and observing their wide-spread influence over
the world. S. N. Castle, Esq., has furnished us an interesting article upon
the growth and influence of Oberlin
College, in Ohio, copied from the San
Francisco Bulletin of July 25th. If
our limits would allow we should copy
it without abbreviation. It recalls a
pleasant visit we made to Oberlin in
the Spring of 1876, when hurrying forward to be present at the opening of
the Centennial, in Philadelphia. Having been familiar with the peculiar
origin of Oberlin College, and the
heroic career of President Finney, and
having also a personal acquaintance
with Doctor Fairchild, now its honored
president, it is with unfeigned satisfaction that we read whatever is published
respecting Oberlin which has contributed so essentially to mould the characters and shape the destiny of some
20,000 young men and young women,
who have been there educated during
the past half century, among them some
of our own island young students.
Probably no college in America, during
the war of the rebellion, exerted an influence more eminently patriotic and
loyal than Oberlin, we will not except
Vale or Harvard.
In reviewing what Oberlin has accomplished, we do not forget that the rich
men of Ohio and America have allowed
that noble institution to Struggle along
with a limited endowment, and it has
not been until recently that funds have
begun to flow into the treasury of the
college. We hope hereafter the institution will be more liberally supported.
A Notable Chinese Bridge.—
Among the notable bridges in the world
is the one at Langang, China. It
crosses an arm of the China sea. This
structure is some five miles long, and
has not less than 300 arches. Over
the pillar of each arch reclines a lion
made out of a single block of marble,
and yet 21 feet long. The roadway of
this bridge is 75 feet wide.
Island Views.—We would call
special attention to the fine and choice*
exhibit of island views at William's
photographic establishment. We have
looked on an album recently filled from
their collection, and can pronounce it
quite equal to views taken in other
lands. See his advertisement
U. S. S. WACHUSETT.
MATERNAL INFLUENCE.
We have been permitted to peruse
an interesting letter written by Mr.
James Butterworth on board this vessel,
giving an interesting narrative of the
cruise of the vessel since she left
Honolulu.
They had visited the
Samoan, Society and Marquesan
Islands, where the officers were kindly
welcomed by missionaries and others.
He refers to meeting at the Marquesan
Islands with a son of our Hawaiian
While
missionary, Rev. Mr. Kakela.
at this group the officers visited the
Typee Valley, made famous by Herman
Melville and found the scenery as
beautiful as portrayed in the pages of
that fascinating volume. At both the
Marquesan and Society Islands, Mr.
Butterworth speaks of having met the
French Protestant missionaries and of
their kind welcome.
Bound volumes of the Friend were
found to contain much valuable inforformation in reference to the South
Seas. The VVachusett was bound from
Tahiti to Callao, and would probably
remain on the South American coast
for some time. Letters will reach the
vessel if sent to care of Navy Paymaster, San Francisco.
We copy the following paragraph
from the sermon preached by the chaplain, at the Bethel, Sabbath morning,

of the im|K>rtance of parental instruction. The child must necessarily have
many teachers, before he is fitted for
life's duties, but in the order of Providence, the parent is the first teacher.
The mother stands first upon the list.
If we may, in accordance with the spirit
and meaning of the parable under consideration, compare the mind to the
soil of the garden, the mother is appointed by God to cast in the first seed.
"So is the Kingdom of Heaven, as if
a man cast seed into the ground."

"Only a baby small,
Dropt from the skies ;
Only a laughing face,
Two sunny eyes ;
Only two cherry lips,
One chubby nose;
Only two little hands,
Ten little toes.
"Only a golden head,

Loudly and soft;
Only a little brain,
Empty of thought ;
Only a little heart.

Small, but how dear to us

EARTAQUAKES.
The most destructive earthquake of
which any record has been preserved is
that which devastated Antioch, A. D.
526, killing
people. That most
unfortunate of Syrian cities has been
earthquake-visited many times before.
In 115 A.D., it was nearly destroyed,
the Emperor Trajan narrowly escaping
with his life. One of the earliest recorded earthquakes is mentioned in the
Bible as happening in Syria during the
reign of Ahab, 900 B.C. In the year
250,000
31 8.C., the
Judean earthquake which
happened contemporanosusly with the
battle of Actium was said by Josephus
to have killed 10,000 persons, and to
be greater than any then recorded.
1883.
AUSTRALIAN SUBSIDY.
It is now pretty well ascertained that
the government of New South Wales
does not intend to co-operate in a contract for conveyance of mails between
Australia and California, after the
year 1883. This determination in a
measure places the entire responsibility of maintaining the service upon
the colony of New Zealand, subject,
however, to such aid as may be afforded by the United States when congress meets in the ensuing December.
We are gratified to learn that the colony
of New Zealand is outspoken in this
matter, and declares an intention to
renew the contract upon its own responsibility. Such being the case, it
is the duty of the executive of that
country, which no doubt they will carefully regard, to see that all colonies
benefitting by the California mail and
passenger traffic shall receive benefits
therefrom in proportion to the material
support which may be extended toward
its maintenance. This is not only just
and fair, but reasonable, and if New
South Wales, from any mistaken idea
of economy refuses to co-operate, the
New Zealand Government is certainly
not bound in any way whatever to
make Sydney the terminus of its route,
especially when by steaming from New
Zealand to Melbourne there is every
probability of increasing to a very great
extent the passenger traffic of the
line, This deviation from the present
route would no doubt influence the
contractors considerably in tendering
for the service, and is well worthy of
serious considerntion, especially as the
New Zealand Government desire
economy combined with efficiency, and
every allowance made by the contractors
will directly benefit that colony solely.
Melbourne is unquestionably the grand
centre from which all travellers from
adjacent colonies take ther departure, and should the course we now
suggest be abolished, the contractors
will very soon discover that the change
from Sydney to Melboure as a terminus is productive of solid pecuniaay
gain. We hope, however, that the
importance of the trade with Sydney
will justify the maintenance by the contractors of a branch line from Sydney
to Auckland. San Francisco Merchant.

MONTHLY MEETING OF Y. M. C. A.
This was held, Thursday evening, at
the Hall ; president Judd in the chair.
Prayer was offered by Dr. Damon.
After the reading of the minutes, reports were made. The most important
subject under discussion, related to the
best manner of utilising the hours of
Sabbath afternoon.
After a free expression of opinion by several members, it was unanimously decided that
on the first Sabbath of this month at
-3 p.m. should commence a series of
public services at the Y. M. C. A. hall,
to be conducted by the Rev. Mr.
Cruzan. These would be conducted
with special reference to the young
men of this city.
Another important subject was discussed, the necessity for renewed efforts
to promote the cause of temperance.
On this question, P. C. Jones, Esq.,
led off in some spirited remarks, and as
a result it was decided to hold this
week, on Thursday evening, a grand
temperance gathering at the Y. M. C. A.
hall, Messrs. Cruzan, Jones, and Jackson were appointed to conduct the
meeting and secure speakers.
Mr. Hall, on the entertainment committee, reported that an ice-cream festival would soon be held.
Mr. F. W. Damon, on the Chinese
committee, reported that since April
no call had been made upon the
treasurer for the usual monthly appropriation, as no suitable colporteur
could be secured for the Island of
Kauai, but he hoped on his return from
China that the subject would be taken
up with renewed energy.
A collection of $23.15 was taken up,
and meeting adjourned after prayer had
been offered by the president.

Canton, to learn the language before
commencing his work. Respecting the
language of China, and its study, he
thus writes to F. W. Damon : "How
small one feels in contact with this
grand old language, which has grappled
with such as Morrison, Williams, Legge,
and Chalmers ! The advice of one
beginner to another is study regularly:
You will have strange experiences in
the way of your thinking about your
progressing, but if you study regularly
you will progress really. By no means
hold the language cheap; rather look
upon overcoming main difficuties as a
thing to be reached 30 or 40 years
hence. A knowledge of the colloquial
sufficient to enable one to preach the
simple story of the Cross will not take
long, but if you want to become a
Chinaman as much as you can, then
read their classics, and converse with
them on other subjects besides religion. Wrestle away then ; and " may
your shadow never grow less." Your
words are apt: it is a mighty tongue;
but consider what a mighty i>eople it
represents ; and what a mighty influence the' race must have on the
world's future."
Rev. Dr. Mark Hopkins tells us of a
mother who sent four sons into the
world to do for themselves, taking from
each of them, as they went, a pledge
not to use intoxicating drinks, profane
language, or tobacco before he was 21
years of age. They are now from 65

a retail store in Nuuanu street, but that
has been sold out and $2,500 of their
funds invested in a valuable piece of
land in Kalihi Valley.
The society made its first investment
of $400 in the purchase of a fine
square in the new cemetery, costing
$500 which has recently been fenced
at a cost of $200.
The society has aided this year the
pastor of the Honolulu Chinese church
by the appropriation of $100, and the
Kohala pastor by $25.
Indigent members in sickness and
misfortune are aided.
This association is a good illustration
of Chinese economy, order, and thrift,
worthy of imitation on the part of their
Anglo-Saxon brothers.
CHRISTIAN WORK AMONG THE
CHINESE AT KOHALA.
After applying for primary books,
Miss Turner, teaching in the Government school, thus writes "We have
now a class of nineteen Chinese, and I
never enjoyed the work better than
now. One thing, we have such a nice
cosy church, and we feel that we are
perfectly independent. The work to
me seems more promising than ever
before. I am delighted to see the
bright happy faces of the Chinese girls.
We are now learning the Gospel
hymns in English. As they have them

books they are not long in catching the

which is a great help. We often stop
after the Sabbath school to practise the
songs, and they enjoy it. Our work
among the Hawaiians has begun; and
we are well and prospering."
The Rev. Mr. Bond, thus writes:
"All honor to the Woman's Board for
their generously coming up to the duty
of the hour. It delights me to hear of
the prosperity of the Chinese work in
