�USES OF ARCTIC EXPLORATION.
Not unfrequently the question is asked, of what use are so many Arctic
expeditions ? The following paragraph
from Harpers' Magazine answers this
question in the best manner that it can
be put "In the three hundred years
there have been some two hundred
Arctic voyages, forvarious purposes and
with various fates. The Greely expedition wasone of the thirteen expeditions.
Five hundred men passed two winters
within the polar circle and nineteen of
them only were lost. And lieutenant
Ray says that the result of the observations of all these expeditions will be the
world's knowledge of the* magnetic
forces. That is to say, as the Rev.
Hrooke Hereford, states in his admirable sermon upon this subject, 'Not one
of all the thousand and ten thousand
craft sailing to and fro among the
many lands of earth but will be a little
surer of its compass,a little safer,than it
ever was before." Is it worth nothing?
It is not the risk, the loss, even amply
recompensed? But also as Mr. Hereford points out, the moral qualities, the
patience, the courage, the self-denial,
the faith.the endurance, developed by
these Northern researches are incompable. "There issimply no other chapter
in the history of human doings to be
compared with it. Beside it the adven
tures of commerce and conquest
look greedy and base, the stories of
chivalry are mere tinsel, the long heroism of the crusades seems a fevered
frenzy." Cut bono} is not an argument
to discourage the restless soul which
the prospect of peril inspires, nor will
the pathetic story of the patient and
generous endurance amid apparently
remediless suffering which the record
of the Greely expedition discloses, dismay or deter other Greelys from daring the same dangers. The Arctic
story is one of the saddest, but it is
also one of the noblest, in the annals
of human heroism. Haiper's Magazine.

THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1884.
HOMESFOR THE HOMELESS.
WEALTH OF THE SEA.
Some anxiety is expressed in the
newspapers respecting the future of the
treaty. But in our estimation our islands are now receiving a far greater
boon than any advantages conferred by
the treaty. We refer to the arrival ofa
goodly number of virtuous families, and
accompaning these families manychoice
and noble young women, to make
homes for our bachelors. During our
l»te travels in China and Japan, among the saddest features of the foreign society was the large number of
unmarried young men, from F2ngland
and America. F'rom reliable statistics
it .appears that there are in China 387
m:\le missionaries, and 420 female missionaries from Europe and America.
The purifying influence of the mission

of China and Japan. Just now, the
most happy and salutary change is
taking place in our island community.
Even in Honolulu, the number of good
foreign families is upon the increase.

of the moving "mountain of cod," 120
feet to 130 feet in height, which for two
months in every year, moves westward
and southward, past the Norwegian
coast. Every square mile of this colossal column of fish contains 120 millions
of fish, consuming every week, when on
short rattons, no fewer than 840 millions of herrings. The whole catch of
the Norwegian fisheries never exceed
in a year more than half a square mile
of this "cod mountain," and one week's

EDITOR'S TABLE.
Of late we have been peculiarly favored with having several very valuable
books laid upon our table. If our limits would allow, we should be glad to
give extended reviews of some of these
book far beyond a brief notice. Theliterary and religious publications of Europe
and America are increasing with astonishing rapidity. If they were all good,
pure and salutary what a pleasant reflection it would be. Although we are not
able to give extended notices of the
books we wish to acknowledge their
reception by the mail. A gentleman
in Boston, has sent ns Myths in Medicines; a lady in New Haven, American

lady of our acquaintance to offer a
friend of hers engaged in literary and
scholarly pursuits and mission-work, to
send him some fifteen or twenty dollars worth of books provided he would
only send her the names of publications
and books which would suit his tastes.
When we notice how much is expended
or rather wasted in the purchase of expensive furniture and useless ornaments and really how little is expended
in the purchase of valuable and useful
books, we cannot but express our surprise. Good books are the best ornament for the bouse and home, provided they are carefully perused.

WHAT A GLASS OF WINE DID.
The Duke of Orleans was the eldest
son of King Louis Philippe, and the
inheritor of whatever rights his father
could transmit. He was a very noble
young man physically noble. His generous qualities had made him universally popular. One morning he invited
a few of his companions to breakfast,
as he was about to depart from Paris
to join his regiment. In the conviviality of the hour, he drank a little too
much wine. He did not become intoxicated. He was not in any respect
a dissappated man. His character was
lofty and noble. But in that joyous
hour he drank just one glass too much.
In taking the parting glass he slightly
lost the balance of his body and mind.
Bidding adieu to his companions, he
entered his carriage; but for that one
glass of wine he would have kept his
seat. He leaped from his carriage;
but for that one glass of wine he would
have alighted on his feet. His head
struck the pavement. Senseless and
bleeding, he was taken into a beer shop
near by and died. That extra glass of
wine overthrew the Orleans dynasty,
confiscated their property of $100,000-000, and sent the whole family into ex-

Temperance Union, was formed just
ten years ago, at Chatauqua, in the

years of its existence, it has been spreading until now it has become truly national, having branches in all the states
and territories of the Union.

M these talented speakers are known
to the Honolulu public. It does seem
somewhat strange, that the captious,
Critical and conservative are, for the
time being, silent, and quite disposed
to allow these ladies to do all the good
in their power, with the blessing of God
and the co-operation of all the good
people of our city.
The idea that a woman may speak
in public, upon the subject of religion,
temperance, or any other theme, is now
generally conceded, thus showing the
wonderful advance which has been
made in public sentiment during the
past few years. It surely was not so a
few years ago. The two ladies now in
Honolulu, are doing a good work and
we hope a greater good is still in store,
for all who may come under their influence. If they can reform the intemperate and establish the temperate,
and lead the sinner to " break off his
sins by righteousness," then let us give
them our hearty, earnest, cordial and
unqualified support.

Bethel Sociable—This gathering
for December, intead of being held at
the Bethel, was held at the residence of
the Rev. Mr. Oggel, in Nuuanu valley.
Some members of the Bethel Church
and congregation having furnished the
pastor's house with furniture and other
conveniences for house-keeping, he
invited his parishioners to gather at his
residence. The gathing was quite large
and the evening passed off most pleasantly. Dr. Damon and wife were present. The Rev. Mr. Oggel and wife
welcomed their guests most cordially.
Both pastor and people are to # be congratulated in view of the pleasant and
agreeable harmony existing between
pastor and the people of the parish.
Homicide. —We reserve all conments
upon the recent sad instance of
homicide which occurred during the

should be strictly enforced. The recent

arouse a wholesome public indignation
against the unlawful and criminal conduct of going armed about the street.

by large and appreciative audiences.*
The lectures on Monday and Tuesday
evening at the Y. M. C. A. Hall, respectively on temperance, from the
medical aspect, and, does Prohibition
prohibit ?' were characterized by familiarity with these themes on the part of
the speaker and received with much
gratification by those in attendance.
We are informed that a considerable
number have signed the pledge. Mrs.
Leavitt will give three more addresses
'on Temperance on the evenings of the
3rd, 4th and sth of December, which
we trust will be largely attended and
be productive of the best results.

LECTURE TO YOUNG MEN.
On Friday evening, Nov. 28th, Mrs.
Leavitt, the temperance lecturer, gave
an address at the Y. M. C. A. Hall to
young men. Mr. B. F. Dillingham
presided. Mrs. Leavitt said " High
:
position means high moral worth.
Great moral worth and position is
holiness of heart and integrity of life.
We shall have well grounded fears for
young men if their eyes are to be
blinded by things near and tangible and
they shall forget, that as Lowell says,
heaven and God can be had for the
asking. Young men are the hope of
the future only in proportion as they
shall develop the moral nature. Physical culture is necessary; we must take
care of these bodies God has given us,
and they must be trained. But the
.mere athlete is coming to the front too
fast; we have no need of athletes without moral principle. We must not by
too much eating and drinking become
dyspeptics: nor should young people
through dancing into the late night
hour wear out the system early in life.
We should not put too high a value
on intellectual power. It is a worthy
thing to develop the powers of the
mind. But the best and highest thing
of character. "If the country," he said,
will pay my expenses, it is all I can
receive." What grander sight can you
imagine, than to see him in the retirement of the forest, pleading with God for
the deliverance of his country ? Whatever may be your abilities or attainments, remember ever, that rectitude
of character and above all the knowledge and love of God are the things
that are best. You may not become
great or renowned according to human
ideas, but bear in mind that the love of
God in the heart is the thing supreme
Temperance being more particu
larly my theme, I will use the
testimony of Dr. Guthrie of Scotland
as my text.
"
He said :
i, My health has been better since
leaving off moderate drinking. John
Wesley gives the same testimony.
No English life insurance company
will at this day insure the lives of drinking men.
2, My head is clearer.
A famous
surgeon said whenever he had a critical
case he must have every faculty at its
keenest.
For physicians, literary men and poets it is best at all times to let drink
alone.
Speaking of poets, look at
Bums, Byron and Edgar A. Poe, all
cut offbefore they were 37 years, through
drink, while Bryant, Longfellow and
Whittier, who led clean lives, have done
all their best work after being fifty; and
their work is much better.
We should learn to work later in
life.
The keenest pleasure we
can have is in work. Our Lord said,
"My father worketh hitherto and I
work." It is Godlike to work.
3, My heart is happier. So will you
young men, have a lighter heart and be
far happier in keeping away from the
cup that inebriates.
4, My purse is heavier.
Work rather for yourself than for
the saloon-keeper. We do not want to
be slaves, and yet young men will make
slaves of themselves. Do not spend
for strong drink the house that may
some day be your own and give you a
Be warned by the degrading and debasing influences of strong drink.
Young men, leave it alone!
Come one and all to the foot oi the
cross, and accept Christ as your savior
and example; Jesus Christ, the noblest
and grandest figure in history."
I'he lecture abounded in beautiful
and apt illustrations, which we have
not space to reproduce, and was listened to with riveted attention to toe
close.
MR.C. S. MASON.
Editor of Y. M. C. A. Department :
The following lines were received by
the undersigned per last mail from R.
C. Morse., president of the Interna
tional committee Y. M. C. Association.
"In regard to Mr. C. S. Mason, the
general secretary of the Honolulu Y.M.
C. A. let me say, that in the light of
even this partial investigation we have
certainly every reason to regret the unrighteous haste of the Gloucester people; it is certainly a case of persecution.*
Yours very truly,
J. B. Atherton.
We thank Mr. Atherton for the
above communication. It is both proper
and pleasant to record the fact on this
Y. M. C. A. page, that every item of
information that comes to us with reference to this case helps to clear Mr.
Mason and to establish the integrity of
his character as a Christain man.
A Happy Household.—Last Friday
was the 25th anniversary of the day on
which Mr. J. O. Carter gave hostages

less substantial than graceful.
Miss
Mary Carter was the recipient of several

HONOLULU,
LAST OF THE KAMEHAMEHAS.
The dynasty of the Kamehamehas,
occupies a remarkable position in the
world's history of the Nineteenth Century. The century opens with Kamehamehaeha I upon .the Hawaiian throne,
and his successors and descendants
occupied that throne in peaceful possession during the seven following decades. We use the term peaceful,
giving it a marked significance, for during that period, while the thrones of the
Kingdoms of Europe and other nations
of the world have been shaken and
many of them overthrown, the Throne
of Hawaii has, been occupied by kings,
who have ruled in peace, and their subjects have enjoyed peace. It was during the reign of Kamehsmeha II and
his successors, that Chistianity was established in this central group of the
Pacific This was an event, with its
attending circumstances and consequences, second only to the landing of
the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock, in the
17th century.
Among the passing events of the age,
this is an event of no ordinary note and
significance, that the last of the
Kamehameha family should have
passed away and the door of the Royal
Mausoleum ck>sed upon the mortal remains of Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop,
wife oi Hon. Charles R. Bishop, born
December 19, 1831, died October 16,
1884, aged 53 years. This event has
been made an appropriate topic of discussion in both the Fort street and
Bethel pulpits, by their respective pastors. The following paragraphs we
copy from the November number of
the Hawaiian Monthly as pecularily
and admirably suited to the occasion

WHO IS T. DWIGHT HUNT?
OCTOBER MONTHLY CONCERT AT
We have recently heard this questionasked, in connection with the authorship of a volume on"The Past
and Present of the Sandwich Islands'"
being a series of lectures to the first
Congeregational Church of San Francisco, 1853. In answer to this question we wouldremark that the Rev. T. D.
Hunt, came to the Sandwich Isiands,
as a missionary of the Americcn Board,
in 1845 and was stationed in 1845, at
Kau, Hawaii. He very soon acquired
the Hawaiian language, and in a few
months was preaching. In 1846 he
removed to Lahainaluna where he entered enthusiastically into the business

on ground now occupied by the govern-
building. While preaching in
this city, an urgent call was received
from San Francisco for a Protestant
clergyman to labor among the inhabitants of that city. A free passage was
granted to him, a salary of $2,500 for
one year's labor as a chaplain at large.
He entered upon this new and important field of labor with great zeal and enthusiasm. He remained for several years
as pastor of the Congregational Church
ofthat city, and it was during thatperiod
that he delivered the lectures referred
to at the head of this article.
Mr.
Hunt was an eloquent and able preacher.
We shall never forget the last sermon
preached in our Bethel before his embarkation, from the text " Stand in awe,
and sin not" Psalms 4: 4. After returning to the East, he was settled in
Michigan, and subsequently in Sodus,
N. Y. We last met our old and pleasant associate in Philadelphia, at the
Centennial, in 1876. Our recollections of Mr. Hunt as a preacher and
friend are most pleasant. His lectures
are worthy of perusal and we rejoice
that a copy has found its way into the
Honolulu Library, and another copy
lies before us, apresent Irom the author
more than thirty years ago. In 1847
he wrote several atricles for the Friend,

We wish to thank the editors of the

the many kindly notices which we
have received since our return from

occupied by the liquor store of Lovejoy & Co., on Nuuanu street. Upon
the failure of this firm, Lewis began to
go down hill and has been poor ever
since. Sometime in the fifties he built
the residence in Nuuanu valley above
the ice works now owned by Queen
Emma. It is coincident that Lewis,
first wife died suddenly in Kawaiahao
Church about 1852 or 3. By a second
wife he leaves several children. His
death was caused by heart disease from
which he has long suffered.
The completion of the Honolulu Library

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
We have received from Charles W.
Brooks, Esq. of San Francisco, a pamphlet of 18 pages relating to the most
recent data, appertaining to tne numerous expeditions now pushing their way
towards the North Pole. One fact -of
special interest is noted, viz, the relics
of the ill-fated Jeannette have been
found off the coast of Greenland.
Supposing these articles can be fully
proved as belonging to the Jeannette,
then it follows that they must have
drifted on the ice, a distance of "over
forty-five hundred miles in one thousand and ninety-six days ;" allowing for
all the twists and eccentricities which
the currents may be subject to. This
would give the floes an average time of
about four nautical miles per day,
which is just what took place."

LIVING FOR OTHERS.
No young man should live unto himself. Nothing in nature lives only for
itself. The flower that blooms in the
garden or on the mountain side exhibits what God can do as an artist
and sweetens the air which man
breathes.
It lives not to itself.
The Redeemer of men lived for
others. He "wentabout doing good."
He lived to establish a kingdom.
Young men, heartily and actively
identified with this kingdom, are connected with the greatest and best cause on
earth. For it is an everlas'ing kingdom ;

smart and intelligent young man, and has
made good use of his opportunities, being able
to speak and write the English language with
tolerable accuracy. Should he succeed in
reaching his native land in safety, his services
may be of importance in opening an intercourse
between his own and other countries. He

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,

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
ply the needle and thread on any kind
of garment for male or female. The
family is remarkable for their longevity.
Their father died when very aged, and
their mother at 87, and their paternal
grandfather at more than 100. One
sister, Mrs. Jane Curtis, is in her 90th
year, and another, Mrs. Hawthorne, is
in her 79th. The house occupied by
these two celebrities was built by their
grandfather 140 years ago, and is in a
wonderful state of preservation. —Boston Traveler.

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.

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.

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

the reef. They could not let go an
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.
Francisco as it had l>een planned he
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
such trying circumstances as this disastrous termination of what had been

PERSONAL CHRISTIANWORK.
At the Ohio State Y. M. ( \ Convention, Feb. 14-17, Mr. K. I. Boswortb of Oberlin, read a paper on this
topic. The distinctive characteristic
of this work is that it is the direct,
personal appeal which one makes to
another alone, singling him out from
all others. It is this which gets hold
of the will, as no other does, and it is
by an act of will that any one begiws a
true Christian life. The preacher's
words often have no effective result,
because they glance off from his
hearer's closely fitting armor of self
conceit.
Hot when after a minister's
impressive presentation of gospel truth
a friend asks, Are you satisfied with
the life you are living ? Don't you feel
you ought to he a Christian now, at
once?" the words strike him between
the joints of the harness ; for no cunning device of Satan, or of sinful men,
can put aside God's personal claim on
mechanical.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS AND POLITICAL

OUTCAST.
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
charitable, and in the settlements receive a pittance from government.
They are under the superintendence
of bead-men, who enforce the rules of
the organization or guild. A certain
amount must be paid by them before
they can be admitted to the leper vilage. The laws of China are rigorous

having wealth are able to bribe the
authorities, and so can remain in the pri
vaey of their own homes. Outside of
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
man addressed us in perfect good Eng-
-try.

the U. S. (!onsul of Canton. While detained here, last week. Mr. Seymour
gave a most agreeable entertainment,
which offered an excellent opportunity
for Mr. Young, to meet all the missionaries and their families in Canton.
Between forty and fifty surrounded the
tables, representing the American Presbyterian Board, the English Wesleyan
Society, the London Missionary Society, the American Baptist Union and
(he BerlinSociety of Germany, together
with ihe representatives from the Hawaiian Islands. It was a choke gathering of noble men and women, engaged
in the grand missionary work. Brief
addresses were made, by Mr. Young
and Mr. Seymour, which were followed
by short and apt replies, by American,
English and (iernian and Hawaiian
Missionaries. It was pleasant to be
assured by Mr. Voting, that he slmuld
DC ready to render all the aid in his
power, to assist those engaged in the
noble work of preaching the gospel,

Young in bis address, referred in a
most touching manner, to the early
impressions njade upon his mind respecting Missionary, work while in the
home of his youth in Philadelphia.
We would merely add, that Mr. Young.
was the histriographer of C.eneral
(irant's tour around the world, and his
pleasing narration has already been
published and extremely read.

twelve and nine years ago. a young
Methodist clergyman, passing from
Australia, to America and England,

became an agreeable guest. Sears have
passed, and we had fancied the young
man, as preaching in England, but to
our surprise on visiting; Canton, we
learned that the Rev. Dr. Wenyons
was Stqierintendent of the Wesleyan
Mission, and Manager of a large
Hospital, at Fat Shan, a great
city of 500,000 inhabitants, about
twelve miles west of Canton. Last
week, while on a boat-excursion of five
days, up the river, we called upon our

PHE FRIEND, JULY iSta)
Anniversary week at Oahu College
has passed off with unusually- excel
lent and enjoyable exercises.
The
recitations at the I'imuhou Preparatory
Si hoed showed what excellent work bad
been done there during the past year
under Mrs. Ashfonl, and her assistants
Misses Hopper, Carter, and Lewis.
The recitations of the classes at
Oahu College, given in die morning
as samples of the ordinary class-roon'i
work, were very 1 leditahlc both topupils
and teachers.
The specimens of draw
ings in crayons showed what skill the
attained under Prof.
si hoi.irs had
Furneaux' training. Mrs. Merrill's
method of institution in English composition proved its merits by the excel
knee and rapidity of the iinpromtu
work done by her class. The prise
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
received the first: Miss May Atherton
the second ; Miss May Dillingham the
third; and Horace ('hamberlain the
fourth.
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."

THE FRIEND,
54
Capt 'Thomas Spencer, a well-known
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.

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

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

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

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

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

Kevanysi, with its great population, has

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

manufacture. From this centre vast

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

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

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.

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

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.

I shall hold myself ir readiness to confer

Samuel C. Damon,

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
