Some of our readers will peruse with
interest the following extract from a
letter just received from the Rev. R.
I). Hitchcock, D. IX, President of the
Union Theological Seminary of New
York City
"Your Luther Sermon was preached
on the nth of November, and on the
29th of November I was reading it
here in 20th street. What you sayabout missions is well enough; as also
what you say of the Apostle John, and
the reign of love. But John is not

Hence the "Social Problem" of our

what is now demanded is a realistic,

Information is just received at Berlin that the Czar of Russia, while hunting, was thrown out of a wagon and
injured in the right shoulder. Grave
fears were for a time entertained, but
Kaiser William has received a special
telegram that the injury is not serious.

Bethel Jubii.ee Supplement.—
With this number of the Friend we
furnish our readers with a supplement
containing the sermon preached in the
Bethel on the 50th anniversary of the
dedication of the chapel, in 1833. We
herewith print a beauti/ul and most appropriate jubilee hymn by Mrs. B. F.
Dillingham:
Great God, a hymn of jubilee
With joyful hearts, we raise to Thee!
Thy goodness through there circling years,
To us this day supreme appears.
We thank Thee that this house of prayer
Has been long years Thy constant care;
That praise and service offered here,
Have ever found Thy listening ear.
Within these walls what bitter grief
Has ofttimes found a sweet relief;
What lessons learned of patience, trust
And hopes revived ere hearts were crushed.

RAMBLES IN CHINANO. 1.
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. If I shall be able

ing and you find a warm human heart
there, throbbing away very much after
the fashion ofyours or mine. At least
this has been my experience. 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.

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. The neces- sortment

At the Chinese Church in Honolulu
on Christmas Eve, the pupils of Miss
Payson's boy's school and Miss Peirce's
girl's school appeared at good advan
tage. 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

At the regular monthly meeting,
December 20th, it was reported that
about $750 would be realized from the
late fair.
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." We are not to be content with going round and round jhe
difficulties in our way without ever overNor can routine work

satisfy a soul that has Cod's infinite
love for its inspiratiou, and every
period of time a new call to new activities. 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.

chosen a rather inappropriate heading
for my letters from China. For the

not permit of my making the excursions

to see what
difficulties and trials they
are called iqion to bear, and to see
what it means in very deed for a Chinaman in China to confess Jesus Christ
as his Saviour. This is a time of searching anil sifting. The native Christians
are subjected to the scoffs and jeers and
insults of their heathen neighbors. On
the streets they are pointed out as the
"followers of Jesus," with derision and
are re; arcled as false to their nation,
their ancestors, tnc divinities of their
native lan 1. They are told that the
foreigners are to be driven away, their
Christian guides and teachers to be
removed, that they are to be slain and
the faith they have learned to love
more than life is to be stamped out in
the Land of China.
Much of this is
idle talk and yet to the trembling little
flock it seems terribly real. And, indeed, there is a reality in it, after all,
and should war and confusion arise
here the infant Christian church, hated
by the heathen, might be called upon
to witness, even to sealing its testimony
with blood, to its faith in the Lord
Jesus. Here in this great and pleasureloving city, with all its wealth and
quaint oriental picturesqueness, I have
found nothing so attractive as the little
gatherings of humble Chinese Christians. Most of them are gathered from
the lower classes of society. Here, as
has almost always been the case, Christianity begins to work from the common people," upwards. The cultured
and wealthy classes reject the religion
of Jesus with scorn and contempt, as
the Pharisees of old. The middle
classes are absorbed in the cares ofthis
world and see in the new faith only a
foreignizing tendency. Here and there,
mainly from the mass ot the people,
and from the traveling millions, a few
have been gathered, and are the firstfruits of that mighty spiritual harvest,
which is yet to be brought in. In these
days the Christians have been brought
near to each other. Though their way
is beset by peculiar and harrassing
difficulties and dangers, they do not
falter. I know there are people in the
world who doubt that a Chinaman can
become a sincere Christian.
I wish
they might see the Chinese Christians
of Canton in these days, and I feel as
if their mouths would be stopped.
Here in China, Christianity has laid
before it the mightiest task which it
has had to grapple with since it conquered the heathenism of the Roman
Empire, but it will be victorious, as it

the
lie/ore
tion,
Judge Judd has rendered a valuable
service to the community in this clear
and convincing statement of some of
the fundamental principles of finance,
and their application to the monetary
condition of the islands. He shows
that one great difficulty in the treatment of our financial problem is the
general and deplorable ignorance of
our business men in regard to the well
established tacts and principles of political economy. "One class, who believe that there is something peculiar
in the circumstances of these islands to
take us out of the operation of the well
ascertained laws of currency, and who
are endeavoring t" solve the problem
by reference only to the facts which
are within range of their own horizons
and the other class, who say that currency should not be meddled with, for
no one tan understand its laws." The
recent issue of the Kalaknua silver
coinage, dollars, halves, and quarters,
to the amount, it is said, of $1,000,000
is altogether beyond the requirements
of a population of 60,000 with an
export trade of only $.s.,?oo,ooo annually. The limit of issue of silver sub
:
sidiary coins, according to the Mum
tary Convention of the latin nations ot
Europe, was fixed at $1.20 per capita.
That would Ix-' $X6.000 for our nun
"The polyglot silver current y," whii h we have had forthe last fewyears has driven all goM coins out of
Circulation. The large excess of exports over imports, the latter stated at
$4,975,000 for ISX2. ma) give seeming
ease in money matters but the high
price ofexchange tells a different siory.
We cannot pay lot our Postal Money
Orders on the United States in our
Ailuau silver. We might have cowry
shells for the business of out own
home markets ; that would be cheap
money, surely. Hut when we settle
our accounts with foreign dealers, we
must pay in gold, the one accredited
currency of the world. Let any financial revulsion occur here, and the difficulty would Ix; pressed upon every one.
As things are, it seems as though the

I shall hold myself ir readiness to confer
with you in all matters necessary to carry out

E*Cf looking up to God, and liis Son, the

strength, I subscribe myself your friend and

l'aslor of Bethel Union Church.
In alluding to his resolve to resign the
pastorate on the completion of his 70th year,
Mr. Damon repeated his belief that the society needed a younger man, and that he beUevcd they could bdtet decide exactly what
to do, during his absence from the country.
Me had made no effort to supply the pulpit
during his absence because he believed il best
that the church should carry out their own
wishes and pcrferenees in the mailer according
to their own light and their best judgment.
The reiiring pastor spoke feelingly of his
long sojourn on the {stands and hi- long pastoral, of'the Bethel.
He said ilia! Ihe only

gold dollar the monetary standard, yet
allowing the circulation of silver coins
at some arbitrary rate to be fixed by
the Privy Council, will keep out all

with itself, and so at variance with all
sound financial principles, it can only
be compared to the crazy patch-work
quilting, which the ladies are now
bus\ ing themselves with, as the latest
style of "fancy-work." Judge Judd
argues dearly and wisely for the limitation of silver to its use as a subsidiary
coin. He would fix ten dollars as the
limit ot the legal tender of silver in
payment of debts. We hope his essay
will help to give circulation to healthy
opinions on the duty ofregulating our
currency in accordance with sound
business prim ipies. Our community

In my last letter, I remember
I
expressed the regret that the present
troubled state of politics, and the disturbed condition of the country, prevented my making any excursions in
the out-lying districts about Cantos.
Since I last wrote, however, I have had
the privilege of spending some ten
days in the country, and have had an
excellent opportunity of seeing some
phases of Chinese life and of studying
the growth of Christianity among the
heathen people. Nothing occurred to
mar the pleasure of the trip ; and I need
scarcely say that I found every moment
of the time intensely interesting. I
trust a few words in reference to the
journey may l>e acceptable to you. In
order that you may form some idea of
the geographical position of the part of
China where I am at present, I quote
a few words from a valuable article in
the Chinese Recorder, of 1880, contributed by the Rev. Mr. Noyes, of
Canton City:
" The province of Kwangtung is the
most southerly of the eighteen provinces
of China. The main portion of it lies
between no and 117" east longitude,
and between 21 30' and 25 30' north
lattitude. Beyond these
there is
at the southwest corner, a projection of
the main land owards the south, and
also the large island of Hainan. There
is also an irregular extension to the
west, running through nearly two degrees of longitude. The whole area of
the province is estimated at 79,456
square miles; and its imputation, by the
last census, at 19,348,896; being an
average of 241 to the square mile, an
average about the same as that of Enland and Wales, less than that of Ireland, and a little more than that of
France. Two-thirds of this area, and

especially towards the inland boundary,
is hilly or mountainous, which causes
the population there to be less d«nse,
and more crowded on the alluvial plains
which lie near the sea, nowhere more
crowded than on that great delta, nearly two hundred miles on either side, at
the head of which sits enthroned the
great city of Canton with its world wide
commerce and its busy population of
1,000,000 souls.
It would be difficult to find a better
center than this for mission work.
From the city to the sea, the wide
plain is so intersected with a net-work
of water courses, that there are few
cities or large villages, which do not
either lie upon the banks, or within
easy distance ot some navigable stream.
Eastward and westward through the
very heart of the province, stretch the
great East and West river, the head
waters of the one springing near the
headwaters of these rivers that find
their way to the ocean on the extreme
southeastern coast, while the head
waters of the other are hundreds of
miles away, beyond the farthest limits
of the adjoining province of Kwang
Sai. From the extreme northern
boundary, comes the North river, gathering its waters from a hundred streams,
and then cutting its way down through
"
mountain passes, whose beauty and
wild grandeur are rarely equalled, until it joins its waters with those of the
East and West rivers, and together they
find their way through many winding
channels to the sea."
As, of late, matters have been growing somewhat quieter here, it was
deemed prudent to visit some of the
stations connected with the field of the
American Presbyterian Mission. Rev.
Mr. Noyes, from whose article I have
quoted above, who has charge of the
churches* lying to the southwest of
Canton, took me under his charge, and
we had as travelling companion Rev.
Mr. Fulton, of the same mission. I
was most favored in being permitted
to go in the society of such genial
Christian friends, and their cordial kindness and courtesy added much to the
pleasure of the trip. Our course lay in
a southerly and southwestern direction
from Canton through the districts
known, especially in California and
Australia as those of the "Three
Cities," (Sam Yap) and Four Cities,"

fields and out of the clustering groves
of banians and bamboos, where the
twilight is gathering. Here and there
nestle in the shadows of the trees little
grey Chinese villages. Our boatmen
have moored us along with a number
of other boats, so that we are not likely
to be attacked by river pirates, who
just at this time of the year are said to
be very active, and against whose attacks it is well to take considerable
precaution.
A glorious silver moon

But
we forget
even its witchery and the fact
that we are in the home of the
most ancient of races, as we cozily
tuck ourselves away in the huge
chemise " mintois" (cotton wadded
quilts, second only in warmth and
magnitude to the gigantic feather beds
which good Germans sleep under in
the Fatherland), and fall to dreaming
of even pleasanter things. From this
we wake all too soon—to find the red
dawn peeping in the cracks of our
boat. We are in the district of Shantack, one of the great silk-growing regions of this part of China. The fields
on every side look bare and brown,
but under this dismal exterior lies a
wealth of verdure ready to burst forth
with the spring time. Every year the
mulberry bushes, never allowed to become trees, are cut down nearly to the
roots, and then the gnarled stumps are
covered over with earth, so that they
are almost hidden out of sight. In the
spring the eager young shoots spring
upwards, so that in summer these
fields, now so brown and dreary, are
covered with a mantle of green, far as
the eye can reach. The leaves are fed
to those marvelous little silk worms
who have helped so potently to increase
the wealth of this land for many ages.

passes through a village built on both
sides of the river bank ; eager, curious
faces look out at us as we pass. Now
and then comes a cry of "Fan Ku-iu."
("Foreign Devil")—not very complimentary to be sure, but not here given,
I think, in any particularly malicious
spirit. Later on, we have this epithet
showered down upon us in no friendly
way. Coming out again into the open
country we have a fine chance for a
run along the shore. The tow-path is
crowded with men and boys, who

tracking,' drawing their
boats with long ropes through the
canals. Groups of country people pass
us, many giving us a pleasant smile
and word. They all wear the inevitable
cue, and dress as their forefathers did,
and as their grandchildren will. They
are simple-hearted, kindly folks, and
compare in many respects favorably
with the peasantry of some other countries which have had, perhaps, greater
advantages. We come to a halt, for
some hours, at a town, with the poetic
name of "Golden Bamboos." We
must wait here till the water rises, and
gives us depth enough to run the
rapids. This is a quaint old place,
built along the river. Here and there
a little canal with ancient bordering
houses, a stone bridge, shaded by
gnarled and twisted trees, remind me
of certain picturesque old-time towns I
know of in Holland, though this is only
on the surface, for a closer examination
shows a sad lack of Dutch matrons.
The streets are narrow and dirty.
Boys and men crowd around us. There
are scarcely any women to be seen.
They are kept at home by the strict
rules of Chinese etiquette Their poor
little maimed feet are not the best for
getting around with. So perhaps they
submit with better grace to the rules
which keep them away from the rest of
the world. We carried some books
with us—"Gospel of Mark"—which no
one, however, seemed inclined to buy.
Here they are somewhat accustomed
to seeing the missionaries, so that their
curiosity is somewhat lessened. Near

found a withered and grey old woman

sacrifices for good luck. A crowd here
gathered about us and one of the missionaries had an opportunity of saying
a few words about the true God, who
delights in the worship of the believing
heart. Another night brings us well
over the rapids; and the next morning
we find ourselves skimming over the

Yunnan waits still
for some voice to tell it of the Saviour
and His love. Shortly after breakfast
we found ourselves at the busy town of
Kong Mun, a place of some 100,000
inhabitants. Here all was life and
bustle. The river was full of boats,
especially noticeable being the great
ocean-grey junks, which find their way
hither. Here in this prosperous town
we found a little neat Presbyterian
chapel, set up as a light amidst all the
surrounding heathen darkness. The
Church Mission have also a foot-hold
here. We proceeded hence further into
the district of Sau Ni. This is the
region from which millions of palm-leaf
ferns are exported to all parts of the
world. On all sides were plantations
of this graceful palm, presenting a most
beautiful appearance. The manufacture of these useful fans appears to
largely occupy the i>eople. Great attention seems to be paid to the preparation of the leaf. At some places we
saw huge piles of the rough leaves in
the early stages of drying. Then again
we saw hundreds of the leaves laid out
in long rows in the sun. These areput out every morning and taken up
at evening. The rapidity with which
the workmen place them in long even
rows is something surprising. Then,
when the drying and bleeching is completed, comes the marking out the
shape and cutting and the binding or
bordering with narrow t strips, a work
which seems largely to occupy the
women and girls, for we could see them
busily at work in their poor hovels.
They get a mere pittance for their
work, and it is wonderful that they
manage to exist at all. I shall always
value a palm-leaf fan more than ever
before, having seen the process of
manufacture. From this centre vast

their difficulties and quarrels lead to
bloody contests. In this village are
wise-looking old teachers who instruct
the boys in the lore of the ancients,

initiate them into the mysteries of those
marvelous characters which meet you
at every turn in China, in city or

The regular monthly meeting was
held March 20th. The business of
most importance was- making arrangements for the annual meeting to be
held April 17th. The business meeting will be held in the lower hall, the
voting members assembling there for
the election of officers, and the usual
routine. After this at 7:30 p. m. in
the large hall will t>e given the retiring
president's address, and it was also
voted to invite Rev. Mr. Wallace and
Rev. Mr. Merritt to make brief addresses. The committee of arrangements were instructed to provide some
light refreshment for the occasion.
Letters were read in regard to a gentleman, whose name had been proposed,
as one eminently creditable for the
position of general secretary. It was
voted that the special committee having this matter in charge be given full
authority to act as they may judge lest
in regard to offering any definite
amount for salary, and for travelling
expenses.
Mrs. Hampton, who has had remarkifott success in Gos])el Meetings in the
Colonies, led the services in the Fort

The house was well filled and a
impression was made by her

" Pure religion and undefined before God and the Father is this
To visit the fatherless and widows in theiraffliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
There is food for thought in President Andrew White's address at the
reunion of his College Class of '53 at
Vale College. It is a stirring appeal
to young men not to be deluded by the
mercantile spirit of the age, however
strong and even triumphant it may
seem now. He calls attention to the
fact brought out in Guizot's History of
Civilization that the decline and fall of
the various nations of antiquity may be
attributed to the predominance of some
single element, a want of the checks
and balances afforded by the variety to
be found in our modern civilization.
But consider wh t the patriotic spirit
is in its present manifestations, what
educational progress is, what we see in
the department of the fine arts, what in
religious circles, and even in the business and commercial world : and see
how young men are being drawn into
this whirling maelstrom of mercantilism
who ought to devote their powers to
higher aims in life than the accumulation of dollars. Is not the business
enterprise of this country, which is
lauded so highly as one of the marvels
of the nineteenth century, really endangering that very material prosperity
in which it prides itself. Our mercantile marine has steadily declined, our

sympathy and fellowship with the
Eternal Father, the Heloved Son, the
In-dwelling Spirit of Holiness, Truth
and l.ove. Who of the young men of
the Honolulu of to-day will devote himself to the work of making the Honolulu of the future what this lovely city
might be and ought to be, if only high
ideals are held up and followed out ?
In connection with the effort being
made by the Y. M. C. A. to establish
evening schools for the benefit of young
men. it is interesting to notice how
prominent has become this topic of in
dustrial education among those inter
ested in the welfare of the young. The
Oakland Board of Education propose
to start four classes, two classes of boys
to be instructed in the use of tools, two
(lasses of girls in cooking and sewing.
A wealthy gentleman of public spirit
has built what he calls Trade Schools

character and ability from 19 to 25

Leprosy has long been known in
China, and the traveller not infrequently sees those afflicted with this
dreadful disease, both in city and counThere are leper settlement villages on the land and similar little
communities on the water, living in
boats. They subsist on the alms of the

They are under the superintendence
of bead-men, who enforce the rules of
the organization or guild. A certain

the East Gate of this city, there is a
leper settlement, where there are said
to be one thousand inmates, both
male and female, and of all ages. I
visited it recently and a sadder sight
I never witnessed. The village consists of regular rows of brick-houses
branching off to right and left of a main
mad. The rooms are dilapidated and
dirty and the people are huddled together in a wretched way. At the end
of the principal street, is a temple with
the Tablet of the Emperor, and near by
are the shrines of the Goddess of
Mercy and other divinities. The head
men of the village were very courteous
to us —and answered all our questions.
There were a great many children and
some of them seemed to be perfectly
healthy. The Chinese have an idea
that the disease disappears in the fourth
generation. The boys are gathered into
a school. The advent of foreigners created quite an excitement in the settlement and the poor people came crowding in from all parts to see us. One

speaking in connection with the historical exercises on Monday afternoon,
drew out some most admirable elocutionary efforts from the nine contestants,
There was such variety of style as well
as sin h uniform excellence thai it was
a difficult matter to award the prizes
satisfactorily. Miss HestSe Dickson

At the invitation of the Trustees of
Oahu College. Rev. E. 0. Beckwith.
11. I)., president of the institution from
1854 to 1859, delivered an address on
"Culture and Life" in Fort Street
(lunch on Monday evening, June ,50th.
Dr. Beckwith was hopeful of a glorious
future for the Islands, and for the college. In words stirringofeloquence, and
with sentiments of fervent loyalty to
Jesus Christ, as the peerless eiubodi
inent of a divine humanity, he urged
the duty of furnishing for the children
of this community the highest culture.
So only could life be in its capacity
and quality what be believes possible
here tor a manhood that can grow
heavenward without limit. 'This he
advocated as obligatory upon parents
and society in view of the discontent
of ignorant toil, the dangers of littleness in positions of official respon
sibilities, the serene satisfaction ot a
well rounded and broad, cultured man
hood. The address is to be published,
and we hope all our readers will catch
the enthusiasm and the hopefulness ol
one whose love for Hawaii m*i, and for
its prosperity, has only grown more
intense by twenty-five years of absence.
The Hawaiian Legislature is not the
only one to which absurd and ridi
c.ulous petitions are sent. The prison
committee of the Massachusetts Legis
lature has reported "inexpedient to
prohibit the employment of convict
labor in any branch of mechanical industry except the manufacture of textbooks for the public schools."

resident, U. S. Oomnien ial Agent at
Hilo, died in the hotel in this city,
Saturday, June 28. Coming to this
city as the-captain of a whaler, he gave
up that business, and opened a ship
chandlery on Queen street. He re
moved to Hilo, having purchased the
store and the business which Mr. Pit
man managed for many years. His
natural characteristics, his bluffhearty
ways, so generally considered typical of
a sailor, won for him many friends:
and his ardent patriotism was notorious
ail over the islands. 'Though a native
of Rhode Isiand, there was in his love
for the "stars and stripes" a large
measure of tropical fire, volcanic in its
occasional outbursts. He came to
Honolulu for medical treatment ; but
the fatal disease which had laid hold of
him, was beyond the skill of physicians
to cure, and after lingering a few days,
attended with faithful care by many
sympathizing friends, it was evident he
had come to Honolulu to die.

reached Ruk, and spent five days visiting stations. Reached Ponape on the

February 15th for Kusaie to consult
Dr. Pease.
On the morning of February 22nd,
in trying to enter the harbor at Dr.
Pease's station on Kusaie, the vessel
was wrecked on the reef. Up to this
time the voyage had been most successful and through Captain Garland's
skillful seamanship and a kind Providence, the staunch missionary vessel
had escaped unharmed from frequent
imminent perils. Captain Garland
had already several times previously
successfully entered the narrow tortuous
channel. But this time there was a
very heavy swell and quite a fresh
breeze. After making a line fast to
one of the four stationary anchors that
were used to help warp in or out of the
pocket in the reef which makes a basin

anchor with any ho|>e of holding the
vessel, for they were in 35 fathoms of
water. I )ecision must be quickly made.
The first line was let go and the attempt was made to head the vessel
round. The Captain let the mainsail run down, and hauled up the jib,
and set the lower top sail, but before
before the vessel could turn, the heavy
swell, (it was flood tide) threw her on
to the rocks.
Two seas broke over her
stem; the third threw her broadside on
to the reef. It was all done in less
than five minutes All accounts give
Captain Garland credit for great coolness and skill in managing the ship,
though only nautical men could comprehend the full details Captain Garland gives of the whole affair.

should do, he was much gratified to
find that the Hawaiian Board with commendable promptitude had chartered
and sent forward the Jennie Walker on
her mission ofrelief, carrying duplicates
of the supplies ordered last year, and
an extra amount of stores. Captain
Garland had made a most favorable
impression on this his first voyage in
command of the missionary vessel,
both for skillful management and for
hearty interest in the missiorn work.
As one of the missionaries writes,
" Often a man deserves more credit for
the way he demeans himself during
and after a disaster than for blundering and success. Captain Garland's conduct at the time of the wreck and since,
has been above criticism, and only
praisesare given to him for hisgallant demeanor and Christian manliness under

the tomb
of confucius.
The Grano-Canal.
July 25, 1884.
Dear Doctor Damon :As you requested, I hasten to rejxm regarding
my visit to the tomb of Confucius. Sister and I with ourtravellingcompanions
Messrs. Bragnall and Protheroe, connected with the American Bible Society, spent the 14th of July in exploring
the very interesting city of Chinfu in
which is the celebrated temple of Confucius, and in visiting the tomb which
is outside the walls.
The temple is a fine structure, resplendent with yellow color tiles.
The
verandah roof is supported by 24 monolith pillars of marble, 22 feet high ; six
of which along the front are very elaborately carved with spirited dragons
winding about them. Minor temples
are found on either side of the main
building dedicated to Confucius' wife,
to his father, to his mother, and to five
ancestors. One large buildingcontains
outline portraits of the sage on great
tomb-stone-like slabs, and there are 120
smaller tablets, built into masonry, representing various scenes in Confucius'
life which have been worn nearly smooth
with the "rubbings" that havefor several
ages certainly been taken from them.
The large premises are enclosed by
very substantial walls, and are heavily
shaded by fir, cypress and yew trees.
A well is shown from which the great
teacher himself drank.
Very many
huge memorial-stones thickly cover the
grounds erected by emperors of almost
every dynastysince the sage's death.
But the interest culminates around
the grave of Confucius. About a mile
to thenorth of the city is thewonderful cemetery of the Confucian Clan, surrounded by a massive brick wall, 25 or 30
feet high and about 14 miles in length.
The whole of this great area is covered
with a heavy growth of fir and cypress,
as is common in the grave yards of
North China. Within these grounds, 78
generations of this family are buried,
extending back some 2,500 years. In
all the world no such family grave yard
exists, astonishing for the thousands of
graves, and for the length of time their
history covers.
Within this great cemetery, larger
than many cities, is a secondary enclosure,perhaps an acre in extent, in which
Confucius, his son, and a grandson
were buried under great mounds of

earth 18 to to 20 feet in height—none
but these graves of su|>er-eminent three
are found within these more sacred
walls. The deep shades are very impressive. Massive figures in stone, representing animals and men, stand as
sentinels along the approaches; and in
front of the mound is a huge stone
platform for sacrifices, and also highly
finished stone censers and urns. The
decaying trunk ofan ancient tree stands
on Confucius' mound while other
towering trees still living, strike their
roots deep into its depths. A few steps
to the west of Confucius' grave, the
spot is marked with a tablet and a
shrine, where one of the sage's disciples
spent six years under a mat shed in
mourning for his great master, several
others mourned in like manner, but
ceased this form of their mourning in
three months.
I need hardly say that an unsentimental one as I was much interested in
the undoubted antiquity,and the simple
grandeur of these memorials, of one of
thegreat men of the world,and who has
perhaps influenced more minds than
any other who made no claims to divine honors. How sad that he should
have been here deified.in a way so contrary to a!l his teachings.
When the
railroad is built between Shanghai and
Peking, following as it no doubt will
the course of the Grand Canal,---an
event that may not be very distant -no
place in all the world will be of more
interest to the sentimetal and thoughtful traveller, than the Tomb of Confucius.
Yours Faithfully,
L. H. GVUCK.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR OF 1812
IN U. S.
On our passage to China, Capt. Barstow of the "Ceylon," would oft times
part in the revolutionary period as noteworthy as Barbara Freitche.
The lighthouse, at the above period,
was made the scene of a fife and drum
victory over an English blockade in
Scituate harbor. Two American vessels were coming into harbor laden with
flour. As it was shallow, the man-of
war was afraid to venture, and manned
two boats to pursue them. They were
fast gaining on them when seen by Rebecca and Abbie Bates, when going out
to pick up chips to boil the tea kettle
for the evening meal. The place was
under the protection of the "Home
Guards," who, not apprehending any
danger, were on a forage in a huckleberry patch. The girls had become
familiar with ammunition and military
music. Perceiving the danger, one of
the sisters proposed to face the enemy
with guns, but, quickly taking in the
fearful odds, had recourse to a stratagem. They fled to a side of the lighthouse, so as to be concealed from the
enemy, and one of them in stentorian
tones called the roll. In an instant
after Rebecca struck a martial air on
the fife, and Abbie hammered on the
drum lustily. The music reached the
British, a flag was hoisted and the two
boats wheeled about, and in the act a
seaman fell overboard but was seized,
neck and heels, and hauled in. The
music also alarmed the absent guards,
who returned in time to raise tumultuous cheers as the enemy were departing, the ladies playing" Yankee Doodle."
These two sisters never married, although the) had several proposals.
They were very industrious, and could

The Chinese Welcome to Their Teacher.
Last Thursday night the grounds of the
Chinese Church were gay with paper lanterns
and the audience rooms, above and below,
were brilliantly lighted. The occasion was the
welcome extended by the Christian Chinese of
Honolulu to their tried friend and teacher,
Mr. F. W. Damon, ( "Frank Damon",) to
the new teacher of Chinese brought by Mr.
Damon from China, to Rev. and Mrs. S. C. Damon and to Mrs. F. W. Damon. Mr. Coo Kirn
was the moving SLirit in the affair, his efforts
being ably seconder! by his efficient wife, by
Consul Alee, by Mr. Li Cheung and by the
Chinese Christians generally. The second
story room was prettily trimmed, branches of
palms stood in the corners, branches of some
graceful climbing plant depended from the
lamp brackets aloni; the walls and hung from
the chandeliers. The pulpit lost its conventional identity in a mantle of Rowers and ferns
and delicate greenery. On the wall behind
the pulpit were the words "Welcome Aloha"—
the same vtmrU nm! the same letteri
hat
had greeted Mr. Oggle and J'l
us i in
the Y. M. C. A. Hall.
The programme of welcome began by a few
words in Chinese" from Mr. Goo Kirn. Then
Rev. C. M. Hyde prayed. After prayer a
familiar hymn was sung—Hawaiian, Chinese,
English voices, each in their own language.
Then Mr. F. W. Damon made a brief address
in Chinese. He spoke slowly yet without
any hesitancy and with apparent fluency, evidencing a marked advance in his study of at
least a portion of a language whose interminable dialects have been the despair of many a
linguist. After his address in Chinese, he
spoke briefly in English, expressing the graceful converse of that graceful sentence of Confucius, "It is good to greet the home-come
traveller from a foreign shore." Mr. Hyde
made a felicitous little speech of congratulation, in behalf of the foreign well wishers of
the Chinese Mission. Another hymn was
sung, after which brief speeches were made
by Rev. S. C Damon, Hon. A. Y. Judd and
Mr. T. H. Davies—all three being interpreted by Mr. Li Cheung. In the course of
Judge Judd's remarks, he advised all the unmarried adult Chinese before him to go or
send to China and take each to himself one
wife. Mr. Davies alluded in glowing terms
to the average commercial integrity of Chinese
traders in Hawaii, and mentioned, impersonally, an instance of rare business honor on the
part of a Chinese merchant of this city. Mr.
To Ting, the new teacher, spoke briefly, in
Chinese.
The assembly then went down stairs to the
school rooms, where ice cream, cake, tea and
coffee were served; and where the audience
had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. F. W. Damon sing, in Chinese, one of the familiar
hymns of Christians in ev;ry land. The lady's
mastery of the language and its accent is so
perfect that Mr. Li Cheung declares that if he
had not seen the singer
should have be
lieved the voice to be that of a Chinese lady.

sermon on Japan at the Bethel-Union
Church, yesterday morning. A very large con-
gregation assembled to hear him, including
Captain Aridji, of the Japanese training-ship
Tsukuba. Mr. Damon spoke in strong terms
against the injustice received at the hands of
foreign powers by Japan; and paid a handsome tribute to the efforts of Judd, Richards,
Lee, Wylie and others who had so successfully
labored to secure the autonomy of these islands
and to prevent a reproduction of the same
offensive conditions that hamper the best development of Japan, He presented an array
of figures showing something of the development of the present educational system of
Japan—a system thai no one man has done
more to develop, than Mr. M. M. Scott of
this city.—From the Press.
