Mr. Editor :— After writing "Finis" to that long series of "Rambles," which you were so good as to publish for many and many a month, you might have thought I should never trouble you again. Indeed it is a surprise to myself, for I felt then that my travelling days were over —but as you see, I am again "on the wing." This time I shall have nothing to say about all those historic lands which have been for centuries the glory of the Teuton and AngloSaxon, nor of those classic shores which clasp the blue Mediterranean in loving embrace, whose story is ever being told to willing ears, a magical enchanting tale, which never grows old. lam afraid that to some my new theme, China and the Chinese will not be very interesting.

Many of them I knew well—a few were Christians, a number have been at our schools, and all seemed to know me as the man who "talks about Jesus" on the Sandwich Islands. We were able to have every Sabbath a preaching service, in which a number seemed to take a most kindly interest, and man) opportunities were given of distributing a good deal of religious printed matter in the form of books and papers and pamphlets. Then we had a week-day school, conducted under difficulties, for the sea was sometimes a little uncertain. But on the whole we got on very nicely. Two very pleasant lady passengers, excellent specimens of our best American culture, training, and spirit gave me most sympathetic aid. I trust that along with the rudiments of English, these Chinese boys received many helpful hints and suggestions which may bear good fruit. A quieter, more contented lot of people it would have been hard to find. Pen up as large a number of our own nationality in the same narrow quarters and I fancy we should have had an immense amount of scolding and grumbling. I wondered constantly at their patience and happiness. For they were closely packed together and far from comfortable, at least as we should estimate comfort. And yet they seemed to get on with a few inches of sleeping room, a hard pillow and daily allowance ofrice. After all are we not spoiled by having too much? The Chinese passion for gambling manifested itself soon after we left Honolulu, and I am afraid some hard earned savings of years on our islands went into the pockets of professional sharpers. But I was glad to find that a very considerable number of Chinese had nothing to do with it, and some of the best of them heartily united witkv me in protesting against it. DEATH AT SEA. On the whole we were much favored in point of health, there being verylittle sickness on board. There were only two deaths, one that of a common laborer from Oahu, and the other from Kohala. During their last days much sympathy was manifested for them by their friends. The remains �of both were buried at sea. We hear sometimes that the Chinese are unemotional and lacking in sympathy, certainly those of us, who were with them when we committed to the deep the remains of their countrymen, were called upon to view them from another point. We first buried the man from Oahu. The officers and cabin passengers stood near by, and a little beyond was a large crowd of the Chinese, with quiet, respectful mien. I offered a prayer in English and Chinese, and the body of this Chinese laborer was launched into the bosom of the great lonely Pacific, and the grey waters closed over it forever. Sometime since I came to know a pleasant Chinaman from Kohala, but consumption had begun its fatal work upon him. I saw much of him. Most nobly did he battle with the dreadful disease. Life was precious to him. He was not averse to speaking upon religious topics, and I hope some light dawned upon his mind. Feeble though the light may have been, I would fain hope that the Master felt the touch of faith laid upon the hem of his garment and that it is well with Mochin.

Dillingham ft Co. �6 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1884 XXVIIITH ANNUAL REPORT OF HONOLULU SAILOR'S NOME SOCIETY. The Jubifee Anniversary of the Bethel in Honolulu has recently been observed. About twenty years after the establishment of the Bethel efforts were made for the erection of the Sailor's Home. For a generation the two have been in active operation and co-operation. They have stood side by side, and have been mutual helps to each other, while their pecuniary support has been entirely separate. Both have been essentially aided by the constant advocacy which they have derived from the FfUEMD. The Home has been under the direction of a board of trustees, chosen from among the merchants and citizens of Honolulu, the Bethel has been under the direction of the members of the Bethel Church and the chaplain, representing the American Seamen's Friend Society, and the Fkiknij was started by the < haplain, and he alone has been, for forty years, its responsible proprietor. The wisdom of this arrangement is now more than ever manifest, for they have all three been carried along, kept free from debt and from friction. Whenever funds have been required for their support, those funds havebeen forthcoming from the foreign and seafaring community. So far as lam knowing to the facts, no complaint has ever been made, that funds thus contributed have been wasted or misapplied. The combined establishment of Bethel, Home and Friend, have been carried forward, on as prudent and economical o scale as it was possible. lam bold assert there has been no waste or misapplication of funds. During the entire existence of the Sailor's Home, the trustees have annually chosen myself as chairman of the executive committee, hence I knowhow almost every dollar has been contributed and expended. I will now remark, in reference to the Home, that almost an entire change has come over the community since its incorporation in 1854. The large whaling fleet has diminished from 200 and more ships annually, to the visits of only a very few, At present but very few seamen are discharged at Honolulu. The United States Government no longer sustains a hospital, while only a sick and disabled sailor is occasionally to be found, enjoying the excellent ar- commodations of the Queen's Hospital. Under these circumstances, the question may naturally and reasonably be asked, why, then, continue to support the Home ? I answer, if no home was built, I should not advocate raising funds to built up one, but as the Homeis built and now answers a very important purpose, hence I maintain it should be sustained. Seamen havenot ceased to visit this port, and never will. Including men-of-war's men, many hundreds resort to Honolulu annually. Seamen attached to merchant vessels and steamers are coming on shore continually Many of these men visit the Home to obtain reading matter and copies of the Bible in various languages. They resort here to write letters, and \isit the Reading Room and Depository. Here they aremet by the chaplain and his faithful colporteur, Mr. Dunscombe, whose labors among seamen and others during the last eighteen years havebeen most beneficial. Both the chap lain and his colporteur visit seamen on ship-board. Not only does the Home furnish a place of shelter for seamen sent hither sity for sustaining a good reading room in this part of the city remains tlie same now as in former years, and it ought not to be given up and I am resolved it shall not be. In no way can a small outlay be mure judiciously exl-'or $200 per annum I can pended, make the reading room most attractive and useful under Mr. Dunscomhe's superintendence. In view of our present circumstances as trustees of this institution I am going to recommend, as ihairman of the executive committee, that we take the necessary steps to raise the sum of five hundred dollars to repaint the Home and make some absolutely necessary repairs. In making this recommendation I would remark that I am going lo urge upon the friends of the Bethel that they raise an equal amount to repaint and repair that edifice. 1 think it highly proper and becoming that at least $1000 or more should be immediately raised in Honolulu by the friends and supporters of the Bethel and Home as a jubilee fund. I confidently hope that something more than that amount may be raised and the balance devoted to the support of the reading room for the coming year. lam not, in conclusion, going to offer a single remark upon the usefulness of the Bethel and Home in our island and city community. To myself it is a pleasant reflection 'hat for nearly thirty years the Home has been managed by good men and good women who have labored without salary, and depended upon a most precarious means of support. The difficulties and perplexities they havemet with are well known to myself but lam one unpublished to the world. who believes that good efforts for man's physical and spiritual good are never lost, hence the labors have not been in vain of such worthy people as Mr. and Mrs. Thrum, Captain and Mrs. Oat, Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Whiting, Mr and Mrs. Dunscombe. Times and circumstances have changed. Our shipping interests have been revolutionized, but I hold that as long as the port remains a place of resort for the shipping ot this great ocean, this or some similar establishment should be sustained for the benefit of seamen and strangers. Samtjici. C. Damon, Chairman of Ex. Com. Honolulu, Dec. 20, 1883. by the various consuls to be boarded until they can ship or be sent to California, but the Home is a place of constant resort for laborers passing through Honolulu who are attached to plantations. Here they come to lodge and deposit their chests and trunks, and they find in Mr. Dunscombe a friend. More or less of this class of plantation laborers are constantly at the Home. During the past years plantation agents have sent whole families hither until they could be forwarded to their places of destination. Hence the Sailor's Home has become what they style in England a "Stranger's Rest." The Home is a most suitableplace for keeping on hand a general supply of Bibles and other reading matter. For these "and other reasons which I might offer, this institution should be lilierally sustained. Visiting the Home almost daily for the last twenty-five years, I can conscientiously plead lor its support, and I am willing to contribute pecuniarily and do all in my power to witness its perpetuation. The Y. M. C. A. Society for many years sustained a good reading room at the Home. With the erection of their At Oat's in Merchant street will be new and beautiful building they have found almost everything in the stationery line, and among them a.good asremoved the reading room.

Amid many difficulties those ladies contrive to bring out the talents of the Chinese children and imbue their minds with many good ideas, as we may infer from the recitations and the songs of the little i>eople. The Republican national convention for the nomination of president and vice president will meet on the 3rd of next June at Chicago. Senator Sabin, of Minnesota, is chairman of the Re- publican national committee. OFFICERS OF THE HONOLULU Y. M. C. A. President i Hon. A. K. Judd. Vice-President C. M. Cooke. Secretary F. J. Lowrey.

The building committee stated that a contract had been made for the completion of the lower room left unfinished, and that when this was paid for, the committee hoped to render their final account, paying over a small balance to the credit of the society, and receive their final discharge. A special vote of thanks was passed to all who had contributed to make the fair such a success. The finance committee were of opinion that measures should be taken to appeal for such a change of the tax law as to secure exemption from the large amount ($120) paid this year. No other committees were prepared to report. The various evening classes, that have been organized, have proved popular and successful. Mr. P. C. Jones has begun his second course of lessons in book-keeping. Judge Judd has a class of twenty studying the Hawaiian language. Mr. Furneaux has just the class it was designed to secure of those wishing a knowledge of mechanical drawing which would be a help to them in their daily work. When the new room is finished and furnished, the effort ought to be made jto open other classes for evening study. There is evidently material enough for various classes if proper teachers can be secured. The new year opens with new and untried opportunities for the development of the work of the V.M.C.A. (iod's message to His people at the opening of this year is His message to Israel of old, "Ye have compassed this mountain long enough turn you northward."

What better can we do ? What more can we do ? These are questions we need to consider with a view to higher resolves and more persistent endeavors. Whom and how many can we hope to bring to Christ this year? What effort can we make not only to save from intemperance, vice, and shame ; but to help on a better style of life, a higher type of Christian manhood ? : HAWAIIAN ALMANAC AND ANNUAL FOR 1884. For ten years this useful publication has made its regular appearance on the first of the new year. This year it comes freighted with a choice amount of valuable statistics and memoranda. Any one who wishes to keep informed respecting our island kingdom, should not fail to procure a copy, and if inclined, if possible he should procure all the former years and have them bound. A few years hence such a volume would be worth its weight in silver, if not in gold. On page 46th will be found interesting observations by the Rev. S. E. Bishop on the " Haze from Java." We befieve he was the first to publish in this part of the world the idea that the remarkable " after glow appearance" resulted from the Java eruption. We are glad to know that he is continuing his investigations upon this subject and writing for scientific journals abroad. College Catalogues.—It is always pleasant to glance over catalogues of schools, colleges and other seminaries of learning, hence we gratefully acknowledge a catalogue of Dartmouth College from Professor Hitchcock; a catalogue of Smith College, North Hampton from Miss Gale; a catalogue of Madison University from Mrs. Diell; a a catalogue of the State University of Wisconsin from Professor Holden. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
