For forty-three years, ten years longer than the average age of a generation of men, this piper has made its regular monthly visits to its patrons. At the beginning of the present year we Increased the number of pages by onethird, and more than doubled the amount, of reading matter in each number, add. ing largely to the monthly expenses of the publication. Our receipts have been sufficient to meet regularly and promptly all our expenses, and we desire here and now to express our thanks toour patrons, and especially to the business and professional men of Honolulu, for the generous adverti.-ing patronage which ihey have given us. It does not become us to speak of the merits of Tin-; FBI&HD. We have made as good a paper as possible under the circumstances. Hampered and limited as Wd have been in resources and materials, it has seemed to us sometimes that we were set at the hard task of •' making bricks without straw." But our friends, both in Hawaii and in America, have been kind enough to say many times that the bricks were of excellent quality. We feel grateful for all such expressions of appreciation as have come to us. Much of the value and Interest of The FuiKN'i) during the past year have been due to the ability with which our assistant editors of the special departments devoted to Education, Missions, and the Y. M. C. A. have filled their pages. We wish thus specially to express our appreciation of the valuable services rendered by Messrs. Oleson, Forbes and Fuller, and the Y. M. C. A. editors who preceded the present incumbent. —We think Number 12. HONOLULU, H. 1., DECEMBER, 1885. Volume 43. that of all undesirable religious (?) states the consciousness of having attained unto perfection is the worst. It cancels one of the beatitudes : "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness." Hunger of soul, the desire for more of God, for holier life, for deeper communion, for fuller transforming of character, is the only hopeful state; the want of thete desires tells of a perilous spiritual state. Well, yes, perhaps. Let us test these assertions a little: Take the most popular Infidel scientist, or philosopher, or apostle of the new gospel of culture: secure for him the largest, finest and best hall in any large city; announce that he will lecture on his specialty twice every day for three months in that hall. Over against that hall, and that apostle of the new dispensation, we will suppose is built a tabernacle twice as large; in it Moody and Sankey hold three Gospel services each day during the same three months. Which gospel would draw the largest audiences'.' Which would he compelled to hold "over-flow" meetings? Nay, at the end of one month, would your scientist, talking twice em li day on Ids specialty, have a "corporal's guard" to listen to him? Hut Moody's audiences grow with his stay in every < ity, and the last meetings are more thiol.:'i'd than the first Take another practical test: What science or Infidel philosophy, or new gospel of unbelief, has sufficient hold upon the hearts of nieli to induce its believers to organise a society, open then- purees, and tiuiid a hall or temple, or bend-quarters, Which Would cost, we will lie moderate and say only $100,000. YetOUr metropolitan churches which cost more than that are legion in nunihcr. l.ul suppose tjiat such a temple of the new di-pensation was hy some hook or crook to lie built, let us say in Brooklyn : where is the man who could .stand upon its platform, and, speaking three times each week, draw audiences limited only by the size of his temple ¥ And yet Do Witt Talmage has dune that in a Christian Church for over ten years, and Mr. Bcecher for more than a third of a century. And what apostle of unbelief standing upon the platform of this temple of the new dispensation of scientific culture could so grasp the hearts of the people who listened to him, that they would put into the hands of their treasurer $20,(11)0 each year to maintain those services? Richard S. Storrs has done that for thirty-live years in Brooklyn in a Christian Church ; and Messrs Beecher and Talmage, and Behrends, and Cuyler, and l'entecost and many other christian ministers in that one city of Brooklyn have accomplished this financial miracle for year-i. Men do not in this practical age when all things are tested by the question, Will it pay ? put thousands of dollars into the support of that in which they have no belief, and no interest " " Dr. Frothinghani, of New York, tried this very experiment of maintaining a platform whereon should be proclaimed a gospel of culture. By the aid of his pen and his private fortune he was enabled to support himself and keep open a hull for years. But his audience numbered only a few score, and he at last confessed the attempt a failure and abandoned it. Again: During the past seventy-five years the members of one Church in America have poured into the treasury of only one of its many Christian missionary organizations, the A.B.C.F. M., theenorinous sum of twenty-one millions of dollars, to send the Uospel to heathen lands ; the Congregationalists, numbering less than 400,0U0 members, have given hundreds of their sons to the service of that Board in self denying missionary labor in all part.-, of the world. What power is there in this new dispensation to produce like practical costly consecration and self denial? Has infidelity, or culture, or Christ-less negation any such hold on the hearts of its believers as the record of this one Missionary Society shows that Christianity has? But there is one more test: What leader, or thinker, or founder of tins new dispensation lias ever given to the world a book of which millions of copies were sold? And yet the Loader of the Christian Church has given the world book which is now' translated into me than two hundred and fifty languages, ai. which sells every year by the million copies. There cannot be named ten scientific,or philosophic books, or twenty books of unbelief which in the past twenty-five years have had a combined sale as huge as that which the Revised English Bible has had. Notwithstanding the loud boasts of infidelity there is no one thing in which men are so interested as in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Not culture or science, or philosophy, but the Cross of Jesus Christ is the strongest magnet. —Are there two sets of laws In Ha- waii, one for Chinese Sabbath-breakers, and another for boat-clubs, rjerchants, the favored few and white man generalAre our laws local and not general —operative in Nuuanu and Maunakea streets, but dead letters in palace-yard and in high-places generally ? Is there some official Tetzel who can sell or grant, indulgences to law-breakers?

During the past few months the temperance workers in the United States have been taking account of stink," and counting up the gains, and marking the progress made during the past hundred years by the cause so dear to them. This review has brought out much to encourage. The world has moved, and the cause of temperance has moved with It during this hundred years. Out of the experience of the past many valuable lessons have been learned. But that lesson which the past century hits taught most clearly Is this: If ever the saloons are closX'd and the rum-traffic banished it must be by prevention and not by reformation. The road to victory over the great evil of intemperance lies in the right education and training of the young, so that they will never come under the power of this sin, and not by the reformation of the sots now in the saloons. It is easier to guard and keep safe from destruction the ninety-and-nine in the fold, than it is to reclaim and restore tho one ■wanderer. Not that we would neglect the wanderers and make no effort to reclaim drunkards. God forbid! We would not have less of such work, but more. Dut not have this regarded as the r the most important temperance It is because it lias been thus re, and because so-called temperork" has so largely begun and tvitlidrunkardsthat no greater proms been made, i Honolulu for an example: During it five years the thought, the time, ayers, the sympathies, and the money of Christian people have been lavished upon drinking men. Some good has come of it; and we hope such endeavors to win these periled souls will be increased, not diminished. But suppose the same amount of thought, and time, and sympathetic endeavor, and money had been expended in training and educating the young in Honolulu in right temperance views and principles. In ten years which line of endeavor the richest and largest harThe question answers itself, we do not see why labor in this more productive, harvest field of ting the young from ever drinking is not just as grand and praiseworthy as the rescue of drunkards—aye, more so. It is a noble thing for the ship captain to stand at his post while the rocks are splintering the ship under him, and make manly endeavor to save those in peril. There is just one thing nobler, and that is to guide the ship so that she will keep clear of the rocks, and save those on board from ever coining into shipwreck and peril. It is a noble thing to save a drunkard; it is a nobler thing to save a boy from theruin and the shame and the disgrace of drunkenness. The experience of the past hundred years writes as the watchword of success in temperance the word "Prevention!" By that motto is victory. And to us one of the most hopeful signs of the times is " Rjld Pshow " that temperance people are at last awakening to the importance of this line of preventive work. The systematic effort of the W. C. T. U. in its work among the young is full of promise. In no less than fourteen of the United States temperance instruction is now obligatory in the public schools. Such instruction should have a prominent place in every school In this Kingdom. The next Legislature should be asked by petition to give us such a law. If we could take our choice of laws, a strict prohibitory law, or a law making temperance instruction a part of the curriculum of our schools, we would choose the latter. SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS. The late meeting of the American Boud of Foreign Missions was si notable one in many respects: 1. It waa notable In that it was the seventy-fifth anniversary of the organization of that body, ami of organized missionary effort In the world. 2. It was notable for the emphasis put upon "Christ the Living Saviour, as the centre of theology, as the source of all Church life, as tiie motive for all missionary labor, as the end of till religious endeavor, and as the Interpretation of all the involved but harmonious move* nients of history." :1. It was notable for the victorious retrospect which the review of seventy-live years showed, —of difficultiesconquered, of victories gained, and of power bestowed, 4. It was also notable for the large concourse of strangers, and the overflowing audiences; no less than 0,01)0 strangers being furnished entertainment, and Tretnoiit Temple and Music Hall both proving inadequate to hold the great throngs which attended the evening sessions. There was also running through all the papers and speeches a grand inspiring undertone of faith and expectancy of the final victorious conquest of the world by the Nazerene, which was in marked contrast with the meetings of the same organization twenty-five or thirty years ago. Then missionary meetings appealed to our sympathies rather than to our hopes. The Macedonian cry, "Come over and help us|" was one almost of despair. The Ignorance, the superstition, and barbarism, and cruelty of heathenism were the themes of the orators. Their eloquence consisted in the vividness witli which they were able to portray illustrations of the saying, "The peoplo that sat in darkness:" the rest of the text was as yet only a prophecy. But the meeting this year was a harvest home." They that had sown in tears came rejoicing bringing their sheaves with them. These were only the "first-fruits" it is true; but they were enough to serve as an earnest of what is to be. The gathering was a jubilee. The songs were songs of gladness, and the prayers were praise. The spies that brought back reports were all Calebs : much was heard of the grapes and little of the giants. And all this rejoicing was warranted by facts. The Independent well says : " Volume 43, No. 12 FRIEND. Think of the growth sinoe L)r. Worcester and Dr. Splint' rode in the chaise from Andover to Hi-nlfiii-il, and contrived the plan for getting some missionaries to the heathen. During the three-quarters of a century since that eventful ride, the American Board has expended twenty ..no nullum dollars, has sent out l.sf.i; men and wolutin to misnitm work, has g.tttiered .KM) churches, and received t). >,00() into their membership. One does not need to go back rtoveiity-nve years to see the progress made by Christian missions. During the l.isl I \ inn live years the number of stations, of schools, anil of preachers and teachers employed by the American Board has increased about live fold. In India we see the Christian population doubling in each decide. Christian r iiiisions have m ulo a self-governed Bulgaria possible. The islands of the sea ire mostly converted. Japan has been opened to Christum oiviltz ition, and is exncotiug, within a few years, to accept Christianity as a nation, as did the Unman Kiniiio under Constantine. Some fifty years ago, Dr. Kay l'aliuei- (iiniclied and published a missionary tier- inou, in which he pictured how bis soul, returned live hundred years later to visit the earth, mitfht see closed Japan opened to the Gospel, and its people instructed in Christianity. It will not take seventy-live years to accomplish that for which his faith required live hundred. But these are only the "first-fruits." Such meetings as this seventy-fifth anniversary of the American Board are but the beginning. The day eonietli when the full loads of garnered grain shall be brought home amid great rejoicing. COLLEGE EDUCATION. "How is your son getting on at college?" "Finely. I bad a letter from him yesterday,and he tells me that be is training for the ball nine and crew, and has won several medals for boxing and" —" But I mean what is lie studying f" "(), he didn't write anything about that." The aim of the average young man of to-day sec-ins to lie mainly the training of his physical nature, [lie development of his arms and legs, w ith a manifest indifference to the Improvement of his mind. This reduces the young man to tin equality witli the horse, while with his best efforts lie can never expect to compete with that animal in strength or speed. With reference to the college student, it Is entirely proper to ask what are his studies and how is be progressing in them. Hut most of the Information that cornea to us from the high seats of learning does not relate to mental acquirements and spiritual culture, but to boxing, boating and foot-ball contests, and we read about the muscles of the young men, their shoulders and fists and shins, the ideal aim apparently being to graduate in due time as accomplished athletes. But is tint demand of tiie world on colleges is not for tine animals, but for mentally equipped men, we would suggest that there is need of an immediate and radical change in modern college education. —The chemists of~the Brooklyn Health Department have added their condemnation to the use of beer by showing that in addition to the deleterious drugs introduced into the beverage itself it receives a poisonous taint passing through the metal faucets. A Dumber of samples from different saloons were analyzed and found to contain quantities of copper Mid zinc in solution. It is more and more evident that the only drink that can be taken with perfect assurance of safety is pure water. - �5 TH E FRIEND. Deecmlier, 1885. THANKSGIVING DAY.

Just think of this method of aiding this last-named cause, if you really waut light on the subject. Let the preacher plead the cause of missions, pressing its claims on all believers; linn let him announce from the pulpit: "The deacons will now serve ice-cream to those whose hearts are moved in this congregation in behalf of tho perishing souls in heathendom. The ice-cream is of three tlavors, of good quality, and two spoons an with each glass. Brethren and sisters, invest for the blessed cause of missions! take at least one glass apiece two, if your souls are deeply stirred." It is quite possible that that method might induce some persons to show an interest in ; missions who have hitherto seemed unconcerned for the world's evangelization; but that that fact alone would justify such a method of money raising, we do not believe.

Thig was a great offense, but not without excuse, when we consider what Mr. Edgar has to toll us about the sermons of the time. He finds from a M.S. volume of sermons in his possession, that the preacher oocupied the bnndays for a year and eight months in discoursing on the last eight verses of the nineteenth Psalm. What time eaoh sermon occupied we do not precisely know. John Livingstone described himself as having preached on one occasion for two hours and a hal f.

The Importance of the annual meeting of teachers at Honolulu can hardly beoverrated. The reasons which in general make it advisable to hold such meetings elsewhere, have tenfold emphasis here at the Islands. For with us, teachers' meetings cannot be frequent owing to the fact that our teachers are widely scattered, and find tnter-tslaad travel too exjionsive to be often indulged in. Our annual meeting is thereforeall the more Important inasmuch as many teachers could not easily be present at any other meeting. But such a gathering of teachers shoii'd have a special signill ance owing to the peculiar necessities of Hawaiian schools at the present time. It is not supposable that any one teacher has a monopoly of wisdom in the matter of elementary English instruction, or that all his methods are superior to those of other teachers. As teachers, we are grappling with no small difficulties in our efforts to instruct Hawaiian children in the English language. A comparison of method and of experience is what we want, and it is supposable that every observant teacher can contribute somewhat from his experience that will inure to the common advantage. No more timely topic can come before the approaching Institute than a thorough presentation of the methods of teachers who are known not to be working in the same groove. It would not be unwise to devote a whole day's session to this important subject Papers could be assigned by the Executive Committee on such topics as < Tin? best method of teaching the English Verb;" "The use of the auxiliaries be and have;'''' •< Drill in English idioms ;" "Acquiringan English Vocabulary," etc. Such papers could be supplemented by discussion, and special features could be still further illustrated through the medium ol normal classes organized on the spot. Again, since the sessions of the Institute are limited to a portion of two days, should not special effort Ix.. made to secure evening sessions ? This would accommodate friends of education resident at Honolulu whose occupations would prevent their attendance through the day. But the chief advantage would be that more time could be devoted to the discussion of specially important subjects. Very much depends at such meetings on wise concentration. It is possible lo dissipate considerable energy by the consideration of questions wholly apart from the legitimate programme of the InstiIt oiten happens that what is tute. said twice on such occasions would be better said once, and that when the appropriate topic is discussed.

The Morning Star returned most unexpectedly on the 26th of October. Her return was caused by the state of health of the veteran missionary, Uev. A. A. Sturges, one of the pioneer missionaries Having been to the island of l'linajie. seized by a paralytic stroke in July last, and there being no physician within reach, the mission there voted to have the Star return at once to Honolulu to bring Mr. Sturges here where medical aid could be obtained. His health was much benefited by the voyage, and he was able, on arrival here, to proceed by steamer to San Francisco. The »SV«/- having refitted, started on the 19th of Xo\cinber to return and finish her work which had been thus interrupted. It had originally been planned that she should proceed on a voyage of missionary exploration to the westward of Ruk, as far as Yap, a distance of nearly a thousand miles farther west than bus heretofore been the limit of her missionary operations. Hut the time occupied and the additional expense incurred by this return to Honolulu have rendered a reconsideration of that plan necessary, and it has been decided under the circumstances to postpone the trip to Yap till Tni-iii 1 really Auditor in '■■ is il.'v.iicil to tin: Interest* «' tin Hawalltn liy the Board of Missions, and the Kilitur, appointed Board, i« responsible for its contents.

NOTES BY THE WAY. It is worth a twenty-seven years steady application to work 00 these islands to experience the sensations produced by a good, old-fashioned trip on a sailing vessel for a voyage of three thousand miles and hack. The preparation for the voyage itself is it sen.-ation wortli having. The gathering together of old duds for sou wear; the many little preparations ; the various surprises in the way of comforts provided by the thoughtful kindness oi friends; the messages intrusted tor conveyance to relatives and acquaintances abroad ; the whole process ot wrenching loose from the ruts into which one so insensibly falls in tiie quiet, even life of these sunny isles ; the half uncertainty and half anxiety which tills the mind when, the last farewells uttered, you stand upon the deck of the vessel as the hawser Is cast off from the wharf, the good ship gathers headway, and you are borne out upon the broad ocean's bosom ; all these together, we say, constitute a .series of sensations worth years of life to experience. Not being ourself subject to that terror of most landsmen, sea-sickness, we have She will therefore return at once to the Marshall Islands, finish up t he visitation of the stations in that group, then proceed to Tonape, the Mortlock Islands, nnd Kuk, doing a similar work throughout those groups, and returning another year. and the Star left direct for Kusaie on Monday last, Nov. :l()th.

RECEPTION. Another reception of English sailors was given on Tuesday evening, Nov. 24. This time to the crew of 11. B. M. S. Quittance, who remained In port a week. These receptions are becoming a popular feature in our work, and their moral and social Influence must be a power for good in the hearts and lives of all participants, especially the men who sail the seas. The talented friends of the Associstion very kindly contribute to the musical und literary needs of the occasion. The ladies provide an abundant supply of cake, some of the wealthy members generously exchange their coin for ice cream, and the result is un evening of delightful entertainment and sociability, and a hall full of |icople go nway to be better for it all the balance of life. The last was perhaps the most succes.-ful because the largest. Part second, the rejoinder of the sailors was vigorous and thoroughly enjoyable. NOTES. CONVENTION There were 126 delegates present, it larger number than at any previous year. 1,500dollars were raised for State work. They expect to put a State Secretary in the field soon. The State Committee, consisting of .'ill members, has been incorporated. The General Secretary of the Honolulu Association was added as a Corresponding Member. A goodly number of delegates remained on Monday and visited in a body the Napa College, and the Insane Asylum ; the latter lacks but a few rods of a mile in circumference and contains 1,100 in- mates. At 4 p. m. a large company gathered at the depot to bid us good-bye, as we took a regretful departure from the pleasant city, but still more pleasant people of Napa. On Tuesday evening, the 27th, the Wan Francisco Y. M. ('. A. gave a reception to the delegates from Southern California and Honolulu. Brief but very excellent reports of the local work, short speeches, and plentiful refreshments combined to make a very enjoyable evening. The merchant delegate from Honolulu contributed a specimen Kanaka greeting (o the amusement of the company. During the intervening week we gladly shared the old-time hospitality of .Mr. McCoy's pleasant home. The days were so tilled with busy work and the evenings so happily spent with little gatherings of friends, that before we were hardly aware of the fact, our allotted time had slipped away. November 2nd had arrived, und we were shaking hands with the dear friends who came to bid U a hearty Godspeed on our homeward voyage to this beautiful island city of the sea, where we arrived on the Oth, tolerably convalescent after the more than usual nauutical experience peculiar ton lands-man,but profoundly thankful to God and the members of the Y. M. ('. A., for the privilege of enjoying such a precious, helpful, soulinspiring seasofi. REMEMBER AND TRUST. We were once coming around the Capo of (iood Hope. There were quite a number of other ships in company. The appearance of the weather at this time was very threatening, and every other ship in sight was under close reefed topsails, waiting for an expected gale while the wind was yet moderate and fair. We hud kept an abstract log of all our past voyages. This enabled us to refer back, and to know just what the weather had been while in the same position several times before, and what the Indications of the Bar. and Ther. were on those occasions. Referring to the past, we found that each time we bad been in that latitude anil longitude, the indications had been nearly the same as at present, and yet under .such indications, we had never had a gale, With the experience of the past, we kejit all sails set, and passed vessel after vessel all through that day and were brought far on our way towards home, without any danger or gale, while the other ships were waiting and worrying about something that never took plate. No doubt there were old captains in some of those ships who bad passed that way many more times than we, but yet, they ditl not benefit by their past experience. It reminded us of the majority of Christians. Whenever anything threatening appears in life, bow we begin lo fear anil to take in sail, as if all depended on ourselves, forgetting how many times \\c have been brought .safely through just such dangers by our Heavenly Father, in times past. How much better to refer to the log of memory, anil thus bring again to mind that God lias in irrri/ instance brought ns safely through every trouble and danger that ever presented itself. This would lead us to trust Him in the present, and instead of "heaving to" in fear, we should go sailing on our way towards our Heavenly home, anil do it to the glory of our (ileal I. B. Captain. TRAINING SCHOOL. The growing demand for lay-workers during the past few years has brought a large number of young men into more or less prominence in Christian work who have felt they have failed of highest usefulness for hick of more thorough training for the definite work in which they were engaged. 'Ibis need has been met in a limited way by the est.iblisb-1 ment of a training school for Christian in Springfield, Miss. I workers At its ret cut opening there were students from all parts of the United States and'Canada One department of the School gives special attention to training I young men for secretaries in Y. M. C. A. I work. GROWTH. During the List two years tho growth in the Y. M. C. A. work has not been so much in the multiplication of organisations as in the development and increased efficiency of those already existing. Yet the reports at the Napa Convention showed that four new Associations had been added during the year, making a total ;>f li) in the State, employing nine General Secretaries and assistants. ! ITEMS. li., Nov. 16, the General Secretary presented the international work, anil a collection of $17.70 was taken for the Committee. This would have been done one week earlier, on the Day of Prayer, only for his absence. The Reeeptlon Committee la improving in faithfulness to duty. This is one of the most Important ('ommlttees of the Association and the hardest to keep in running order. The class for social Bible study conducted by (he General Secretary meets in the parlor every Sunday morning at precisely 0.46. Young men and strangers are very cordially invited to come in.

It was the most impressive scripture recital I ever witnessed, the stillness throughout the entire audience, many of whom were standing, was like the silence of death. A half hour was allowed delegates to speak from the Hoor. Then ten short addresses were delivered front the platform, followed by the closing exercises which consisted in all the Christian young men joining bands in an unbroken circle that reached the entire length of both aisles over the platform and across both ends of the church. In this position all joined in singing withspiritualfervoronever.se of "The Sweet Bye and Bye," and the hymn » Blest be the Tie that Binds." President McCoy offered prayer. Dr. Coyle pronounced the benediction and the best convention that ever convened on the I'acitlc Coast was declared adjourned to meet one year hence in Los well Hall to listen to this eloquent Englishman expound the Gospel.

At the same hour a service for women only which was addressed by delegates; at 4:15, open air meeting at which there must have been nearly 1200 people present. The farewell meeting at 7:30 was a blessed season. It opened with a praise service in which the Y. M. C. A. male choirs of S. F. and Napa joined.

Gladstone, it is said, has always boon a conscientious observer of the day anil now in his advanced years he is able to moot the most complicated political situations. With beneficent intent the weekly day of rest was founded by the Creator in the constitution of man and body, mind and soul demand that the day shall lie kept. We would also call attention, as we have done before In Tin-: Fiuf.ni), to the fact that It is the Lord's day. On this point there is needed line upon line and precept upon precept." .Signalized by the resurrection of our Lord Jesus from the dead, the <lay has an interest which no day of human appointment can po-.-ibly possess antl should therefore be regarded as distinct from all other days. Philip Henry called it "tile best of till the seven, the queen of days, the pearl of the week." Let no one imagine that the day should be a sad one or one of solemn dullness. We would not clothe it witli funeral robes and sing solemn dirges, but rather invest it with a character of calm antl The general aspeaceful enjoyment. pect of this day which we would encourage," says Dr. Hamilton, is not that of sternness, of morbid sensitiveness, of crouching will-worship, but that of settled, solemn stillness. One wortl would interpret all we desire, as best agreeing to it, without and within—serenity. We rejoice when it breaks in elemental pence, with balmy breath and cloudless beauty. We rejoice when it departs with tin,' tranquility of a sunset which is disturbed by no angry blast or tempest rack. Yet more do we rejoice when the tumult of the people stills. The collisions of life no longer chafe. The dizzy wheels of society stop. City and village, temple and home, lie bathed in an unearthly calm." The day is one for worship. Man is not a brute. He has a spiritual as well us a physical nature. He is Ood's offspring and is not for this world ouly, but the possibilities have been placed within his reach for happiness and advancement in another and higher sphere, ami the holy time should be tilled with thoughts of God and- immortality, Thus set apart for God and the contemplation of our higher needs the day will carry its influence onward and shed a blessing on all days and time and fit us for the enjoyment of that heavenly life of which the day of rest here is a type. " HOLY TIME. Our American exchanges tell cf steady progress in non-observance of the christian sabbath; of an increasing violation of the day on the part of business men, railroad officials and politicians, which leads the christian people of the land to fear, that, unless this aggressive foe be arrested and overcome, the day which <« was made for man"—for the furtherance of his best interests, temporal and immortal —may be turned from its beneficent design of rest and worship into one of traffic and travel, gaiety and dissipation. It is apparent to every reflecting mind that were this day stricken from the calendar of days, the fair fabric of civil and religious liberty which has been our glory and joy would not only be seriously imperiled, but the pillars would ere long tremble and the temple fall. To give up the sabbath would be putting the knife to the throat of that which gives dignity and stability to society. It would be going back to barbarism. No nation can look for endurance and prosperity except through the recognition of God in the day he has instituted. Every community or land thathas thrived and become a center of power and ol beneficence to others must attribute it to the healthful and uplifting influences of the sabbath, and the prosperity of the people has been in proportion as the observance of the day has been carried out. The keeping of it has carried the choicest blessings to the individual, the family, the nation and the world at large. There is hardly a question in political economy or concerning tho home life that is not identified with the keeping of the day. The sa"bbath is God's best boon to all classes of men, because ail need it. The so-called lalioring class, or those who work with their hands, must have their weekly rest day.

There are two sides to the Chiuese question. Ten yours ago when we went from hoston to the Pacific Coast, like all other "wise men from the East," wo were very certain that there was but one side to the question, and that we knew all about it: (Tie Chinese should be allowed to come to "free America" as they pleased, like all other nationalities; they were peaceable, industrious, law-abiding, and a valuable addition to the working force of any nation. And we embodied our wisdom in a sermon very speedily, and inflicted it upon a surprised and decidedly unappreciative audience in PortYou will know more land, Oregon. about this Chinese question in a few years," said one of my hearers next day. "1 should not be surprised if your views changed somewhat." And he was right. We still keep that sermon as a curiosity. Five years' residence on the Pacific Coast taught us this fact: iVo nation can afford to have its white mechanics and iciirk'imj-iaen brought into competition with the Chinese. Such is the ease in Hawaii, and she is paying the penalty: her white smalltradesmen, mechanics and working-men are steadily, remorselessly being driven out of the kingdom. It is only a question of time when of these classes all who remain will be a few master-, mechanics. Walk through the Chinese quarter and you will rind every line of trade (except hart I ware and agricultural implements) and every line of mechanism represented. Take a few sample cases of the competition to which our white mechanics are subjected : A wise woman in this land of moths and cockroaches had a large white cedar box made; properly upholstered it serves the double purpose of a lounge and a receptacle for clothing. A Chinaman made the box for $10. A friend desiring one like it ordered it from a white carpenter; it cost $20. Carriage painting la tirst-class white shops costs from $25 to $30 ; the Chinese painter charges from $15 to $18. A gentleman wished a light business coat: his white tailor did not have the kind of goods he wanted; passing through the Chinese quarter he saw just what he wanted, asked for a sample of the goods and the price of a coat: "Nine dollars." The gentleman took the sample of goods to his tailor: "Here is the kind of goods I want: what will a coat from it cost?" "Eighteen dollars." An old house was to be remodeled : the lowest bid from white contractors was $2700. A Chinese contractor did the work for $1700! When asked how he could afford to do it so low he replied: "If we make a dollar a day we are satisfied." We could multiply such instances. " �4 THE FRIEND. The Chinese mechanic can live on a dollar a day, yes, on fifty cents a day, and "fare sumptuously." No white mechanic can live on such wages; his actual expenses for room and board will amount to a dollar per day. We cannot afford to have our white mechanics live as the Chlnese.do. Civilization and religion both forbid it Brought in competition with cheap Chinese labor, marriage, and a home, and a family Is an impossibility to the mechanic and working-man. Such a. state of things means immorality and utter de- moralization. Without touching the political, and economic, and sanitary sides of the question, from moral and religious reasons alone we say that no nation can afford to have its white mechanics and workingmen orought into competition with the Chinese. Who will suggest a remedy ? Hoodluinisin certainly is not a remedy and is a disgrace to civilization. Class or race legislation seems unjust, and in America has largely failed to accomplish its object We confess that we are in doubt as to the best course for this government to pursue. But that something should be done to retain in Hawaii the remnant of white mechanics and working men which is still here, all admit, for there is no more valuable element of our population. The white man has gone, and is going. Must he continue to go ? "BISHOPS" AND "ELDERS." Some wise advocates of the extrascriptural system of church government which requires three orders in its ministry, and which squarely In the face of the divine prohibition, gives its "Bishops" "lordship" over the church, admit that this is not "the essential divine order;" in other words, that while it has rfo scriptural authority they claim that it is expedient and best. With such we have no controversy ; it is their privilege, if they choose, to use that system of church government. Hut some "otherwise" advocates claim that this so-called order is scriptural, and of divine authority, and that "a church cannot be constituted" without it. With them we join issue. For it is a plain but not verybroad or liberal assertion that for years after Christianity was introduced into Hawaii there was no such a thing as a church; and that now the only churches in this Kingdom are the Catholic and Anglican ; all other Christians are unchurched, their ministers un-ordained, and their ordinances invalid ! It is admitted that the words Hishop {epUcopos) and Elder (presbuteros) "were originally synonymous." The "burden of proof" rests with those who hold that they come to mean something different, An attempt to do this is made. We are told, the Apostles exercised authority over the churches ; that they "appointed Matthias to the vacant place" in the A postulate, and that they up pointed aud ordained deacons." No one Ist. That " denies that Christ committed to his Apostates the founding and care of such Churches SS might be gathered. lint <J id they (iji/ioint "elders," or "bishops"? The liook of Acts tells us that the whole body oj belierors chose Matthias "by lot," or vote ; and the whole multitude * * chose" the first seven deacons. (Sec*Acts i: 15-21); andvi: 1-7). The Apostles simply inducted into office those whom the whole body of the church had chosen. The Aposlles even did not exercise lordship, as do our modern bishops. They were missionaries who "went everywhere preaching the word," and organising believers into local, self-governing churches. 2nd. Again we are told that the Apostles were succeeded by bishops, in the modern sense of that word, and that Timothy and Titus, and Epaphroditus were among the first. But on what evidence ? We are told that Paul "appointed Epaphroditus to be his successor" as Bishop of Philippi, because, forsooth, the church in Philippi had chosen him as their messenger (Greek, apostolus) to carry a contribution to Paul in Home ! What right had Paul to appoint him? Paul tells us (Phil, ii: 26-80) that he sent him back to Philippi, not as his successor, but because he had been very sick, and because "he longed after you all." In other words, Epaphroditus was home-sick, and so Paul sent him back hotne. And on this home-sick helper of l'aul's some would try to build the fabric of modern Episcopacy ! Again we are told that Paul " ' set luus over the Church in Crete that be might ordain elders in every oity, besides 'setting in order the things that were wanting' ( fit. 1.5). Paul's missionary work in Crete was, for some reason unknown, left incomHe sent Titus to continue it. plete. But that he made Titus a diocesan bishop is squarely contradicted by this very epistle, for In the third chapter Titus is told that bis work there is only temporary, that be is to rejoin Paul "before winter," and that he (Paul) will send Artemas, or Tychicus, to relieve him —a rather highhanded and summary proceeding that to supercede and remove a lord-bishop from his diocese! It is amazing with what cool assumption Timothy is transformed from a helper Bishop of Fphesus." of Paul's into the Paul says (1 Tim. i : .'J, 4) that be desired Timothy to take special charge of the Church there, not become its permanent head, for a specified purpose. And, Timothy having accomplished that object, Paul in liis second letter (2 Tim. iv : !)) orders him to leave Fphesus and come to him. The Scriptures do not give us the least bint that Timothy was ever, in the Episcopal sense, bishop of the Church in Ephesus. In the scriptures the words Elder and Bishop tire synonymous, and they denote Dean Alford in his but one office. Greek Testament in his comments on 1 Tim. iii: I, correctly states the fact in regard to the New Testament teaching, when he says: " Volume 43, No. 11 It is merely laying a trap for misunderstanding to render ho words, 0/>/«-»»m) at this time of tin- Church's history, "tlieofrirte of a Bishop."

On the other hand, as we briefly showed in a former article, there are passages of scripture which lie squarely against any such lordship and authority over the Church of ('hrist. We can multiply passages of this kind, if necessary. EDITORIAL NOTES. —Another new definition : PHILISTINE.

THE CHURCHES. THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH. OCTOBER—NOVKM BE 11. The Rev. A.(). Forbes, secretary of the Hawaiian Board, having returned in safely and with renewed health from a three months' vacation trip to Puget Sound, gave a very interesting account tit the Wednesday evening prayer meeting of his travels, including Portland, (hregoa and the various towns alxiut the Sound. After a graphic description of the scenery Bro. Forbes spoke of the evil which is rampant there in every form, but that to counteract and overcome it, the cause of religion is not only well established but making noticeable progress. After the close of the prayer-meeting the annual meeting of the Bethel Social Union was held to listen to reports and to elect new officers and committees. Mr. T. M. Henderson was elected President of the Union to serve till October, 188IJ. The names of officers and committees having kindly been printed in full in the Daily Bulletin we may here omit them. On the the first Thursday evening of the month the Church social was held at the residence of the pastor. The time was devoted to conversation, literary and musical exercises and refreshments and all who were present reported having spent a very pleasant evening. On the morning of Sunday, the 4th, Mr. F. W. Damon, superintendent of christian work among the Chinese, addressed the Sunday school on China and the spiritual needs of the Chinese in this community and kingdom. Mr. Damon had brought with him a painting of Rev. Robert Morrison, the first missionary who in this century went from England to China, translated the Bible and pre- pared a dictionary for the Chinese. Also a painting of one of the Pagodas which are reared all through China to appease the wrath of the gods. He also showed the school a praying machine, being a small round box of which they turn the crank and turnout prayers. Mr. Damon said, that sometimes these machines are so large, that it takes seven men to turn the crank. He also showed a brick, that he had brought with him from China, of a wtill 1,500 miles long, built 200 years before Christ. He said it was easy enough to laugh at this people and call them John Chinaman," but thatapeoplc who could build a wall like that are worth looking after. The speaker then pleaded eloquently, in behalf of the Chinese cause, for a more general interest on the part of christian workers. The school through Mr. B. F. Dillingham gave Mr. Damon a cordial vote of thanks for his instructive and earnest address. The collection taken up was devoted to christian work among the Chinese. Tho monthly concert was well attended. The subject The North American Indians" made the hour one of interest and profit. Professor Bates had a map and pointed out where the red man dwells. Mrs. 11. A. Parinelee read a poem on the Indian's rights and Mrs. B. P. Dillingham contributed an able paper, printed subsequently in full in the Fhiily Jlit/letiii. To this we may add, that the article "The Indian Country" by Henry King in the August number of the Century Magazine is a valuable contribution and deserves attention. The teachers' meeting, at Mr. Dillingham's residence, was attended by nearly all the officers and teachers. Arrangements were completed to provide suitable rewards for all scholars who have been faithful in attendance on public worship during the year. On the evening of the 20th there was a very pleasant gathering of the members of the Social Union at the residence of Mr. 11. A. Parmelee. Some changes were made in the Constitution of the Union and a new one ordered to be printed. Refreshments followed and at the close the thanks of all present were tendered to Mr. Parmelee and his family for theirkind hospitality. There was a collection for the foreign work of the Hawaiian Board on Sunday, the 25th. The preparatory lecture was given Wednesday evening, the 28th, for the celebration of the Lord's Supper, November Ist. The Young People's Friday evening prayer meetings have the presence and blessing of the Master. We pray and labor for a more general attendance. The monthly meeting of the officers and teachers of the Sunday school will be held on Tuesday evening, the 10th, at the residence of Mr. Jonathan Shaw, No. 24 School street.

At tho communion held Oct. 4th, baptism was administered to the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas Waterhouse, Jr., and four persons were During the admitted to membership. month the pastor administered baptism to five infants. Attendance on public worship during the month has shown a marked increase, especially at the evening services. Prof. Yamdley's fine choir is doing excellent work and by its rendering of the choicest sacred music adds greatly to the worship. Special effort is made to have the choral service on Sunday evenings full, spiritual, uplifting, and helpful. It is the exception where bettermusic is heard than that rendered in Fort-St. Church. During the month of November the following special services will lie held: Sunday evening, Nov. Bth, at the request of the W. C. T. U., there will be a union meeting of the Bethel and Fort-St. Churches, held in the Fort-St. Church. The meeting will take the form of a Centennial Platform Temperance meeting. Brief historical papers and addresses will be given, showing the rise, pmgress and gains of the temperance cause during the past hundred years. Thursday, Nov. 2<>th the annual Thanksgiving service will be held. As tho regular Communion season occurs Dec. tith, there will be special meetings of the StandingCommittee Wednesday evenings, Nov. 18th and 25th, at 8:30 o'clock, immediately following the pruyer meetings.

Dining all the early yaart of his boyhood young Noble waH utterly without education. This state of affairjoontiiiued until he was twelve years of age :) Alxiut this time he began to hang around the theaters. Full of the dramatic instinct, as most children are, and without even the safety-vul ye of the common excitements and emulations of schoolboy life, what he saw and heard tit the theaters—loiteringatthe pit entrance, perched in the flies, or up in the topmost tier under tint roof— delighted him and set his thoughts at work upon such scraps of the thoughts of great and little playwrights as thus fell to his share; and he dates from this time the beginnings of such education as lie has since attained. At tint age of fifteen lie entered the Royal Navy. He was now justbeginning to discover that he must train himself, and he came the more readily under the discipline of tin? navy, which taught him method; but there also he learned to drink. In the mean time he began to study any and every bank be could get hold of, both to learn to read and to learn what he read. The works of that strong apostle of temperance, William Fllery (.'banning, came in his way, and, to use his own words, "he was captured by him." lie read and studied Chunning until he knew him by heart and by head. �When his discharge from the navy was purchased, in 1801, these studies bad prepared him to enter into a religious and moral reform work then at its height in Woolwich Woolwich, and called the Boys' Movement," led by one Captain Orr. Young Noble came under religious conviction, gave up drink, and took the platform, talking on temperance and religion In an illiterate way, but with such warmth and energy that he was known as "the Woolwich Boy." Between the years ISIJI and 1871 he had worked his way on, had been a warehouseman, and finally was head of the firm of Noble & Company, stay and corset manufacturers, 4'J Lower Whitcross Street. He was popular among his acquaintances, energetic and successful in business. Too successful, for neither his moral nor spiritual development had yet acquired the liber which is strengthened and inspired by success. *. * * But he had returned to one habit which kept pace With and outstripped till this Industry at books, thisIntellectual growth, anil this business success—the habit of drink!

He signed the pledge, and has kept it, through some stern struggles, faithfully ever since. He began business again in a small way, and was asked to speak at temperance meetings. It was up-hill work, but he went on steadily. His parents died. Before her death his mother gave him a copy of the autobiography and orations of John It. Gough. Roth the manner and substance of these orations strengthened his resolve to abstain, and he committed the principal ones to memory. Subsequently he delivered them from memory to 75,00(1 people in thirteen nights in the National Standard Theatre of London. He continued these recitals in London and tin- provinces, attracting great attention and doing much good. Stimulated by his example, many young men tried to follow it, and some are still making these recitals with good effect in different parts of the country. In 1K73 Mr. Davis, a gentleman influential in London iMge matters, seeing with what effect Mr. Noble delivered the (iough orations (Mr. Noble interpreted those orations in his own way, not having at that time ever met Mr. Gouglii, endeavored to engage him to play certain Dickens roles, such as Quilp, Serjeant Du/.ftiz, and little Joe."

It has not been a difficult task to point out features in our present text-books in arithmetic and geography that render them unsuitable for tho peculiar work of many of our schools. Neither is it difficult to outline what would prove to be a most useful manual in each of these studies. A text-book in arithmetic could be prepared, and printed here at the Islands, that would not only serve all practical ends but would actually raise the standardof attainment in this branch in all our schools. And this would be accomplished not through the loss, by omission, of a single valuable principle, but by a wise combination of the improvements made in recent years Ivoth in England and America in the matter of simplifying and condensing the treatment of the most practical departments of this very practical study. It is important that our pupils should be well grounded in the fundamental processes, decimals, fractions, denominate numbers, and percentage and its applications, including, of course, interest. Ratio and proportion, equation of accounts, involution and evolution, partnership,exchange, alligation, duodecimals, and the metric system, could be profitably consigned to an appendix according to the fashion of some recent text-books, or what would be better incorporated into a supplementary arithmetic. This expunging of several very familiar divisions of our stereotyped arithmetics would not mean that they were of little value but that theother divisions were of greater value. It is important, again, that these retained divisions be very clearly and concisely treated. Decimals and whole numbers, as in Wentworth's Practical Arithmetic, should be taught together. It is easier to teach a child to notate in both directions at the outset than it is later on to make clear to his mind that decimal notation is not a contradiction of all that be has learned before. Besides whole numbers and decimals as they occur in practical mathematics are not divorced as they are in the books. They can be taught readily and luminously under the same rules, a single note under multiplication and division each being sufficient to clear up all the legerdemain of pointing off." Fractions should be more succinctly reated than is the case in most textxxiks. Compound and complex fractions should not be allowed even a name to ive, for the one is a simple example in multiplication and the other in division of fractions. Multiplication and division of fractions should precede addition and subtraction as is now the case in one text-book, at least, and there should be " but one comprehensive rule for each. The rule for finding the common denominator could well drop out of reduction and fall into its natural place in the rules for addition and subtraction. Compound and denominate numbers could be advantageously taught together under each table as in Smith's Arithmetic (Cambridge, Eng.). Steady progress has been made in all recent textbooks in the treatment of percentage and its applications. This progress has been in the direction of simplicity and luminosity in the treatment of discount, particularly. In no text-book are all of these improvements to be found. In many of them, some are pronounced features. There seems no good reason why they should not all be incorporated into a single textbook. Such a book with mental and written exercises combined would be brief, so that most of our pupils would be able to complete it, clear, so that all would Ixs able to understand the various processes, and practical, so that it would prove one of the most valuable text-books that could be put into a child's hands. The cause of elementary education here at the Islands is suffering from the lack of just such a book. SCHOOL SUPERVISION. Has not the time come for a modification of the present system of school supervision? There are about IGO schools in the Kingdom that are wholly under the control and supervision of the Government. There are over 40 independent schools each of which is in some measure under Government supervision. Here then is a total of 200 schools, calling for supervision, and considering the distances that need to be traveled and the comparative inaccessibility of some of the schools, it is quite within bounds to say that the supervisor can visit not more than one school a day, on an average, and can visit each school but once in a year. Such supervision must iv the very nature of things be superficial. Probably quite as much depends on the judicious supervision of these schools as on efficient instruction. But this supervision cannot be undertaken in the most profitable way by a single person. There is need for a supervisor general, as is now the case, but his work needs to be supplemented in some way so that while he is made responsible for the quality of the supervision, he may at the same time have valuable assistance rendered him by others. It would not be a bad plan to have an assistant supervisor for the large island of Hawaii with its 76 schools so widely scattered. Or it would be a very effective way to help and inspire teachers to have stated and frequent gatherings of the teachers at centrally located places for strictly normal work. The working of our educational system has not kept pace with our development in other directions. With but a slight comparative increase in outlay our common schools and consequently Volume 43, No. 11 our higher schools could enhance their efficiency in a marked degree. It is no part of the supervisor's work as at present conducted to hold teachers' meetings. It is not difficult to see how the personal presence of a competent super- visor at such meetings would advance the cause of English primary instruction among us. We trust that the Board of Education will see the need of re-vitalizing present methods of supervision. There are some very positive evils connected with things as they are, and there is no excuse for their continuance. —The very steady increase in attendance in all our higher schools is a hopeful indication. For it not only shows that our youth are appreciating better the advantages of an education, but it likewise shows-that the schools of lower grade are making commendable progress in imparting English instruction. —" The use of tobacco is to be absolutely prohibited in all the government schools in France, on the ground that it affects injuriously the ability to study. The regulation is based on the recommendation of a commission of men of science, and meets with general approval." —The successful teacher is the one who gives an onward impulse to the whole school. The successful school is the one in which progressive work is being done In all the grades. Too often superficial observers are loud in their praises of a teacher who can deftly exhibit a few advanced pupils possibly in a single study ; and they call such a school successful when the very attention given to a few pupils of promise has resulted in making the school almost a failure in the quality of work done by the school as a whole. . —It is not often that a truth is more tersely put than this, from The Spring-, field Republican : This is not the age of the decadence of Christianity, and it is amazing that even an lngersoll can entertain the notion that the nails are being driven into its coffin, at a time whose intense activity in missionary work at home and abroad exceeds everything ever known before in the world. Steadily for the past ten years this activity baa been increasing in this country. All over the land multiply organizations of practical workers ; society after society is organized for some special and detiuite purpose, or for the general purpose of strengthening mutual faith and fervor. The sceptics may drive the nail home as fast as they like and bury the coffin, but it will be an empty chest, or more likely infidelity itself will fill it. Hainan swung from the gallowsprepared for Mordecai. —Rev. Dr. Stratton of Natchez, Miss., in a manual for Church Members recently published, has these comments on worldly amusements : The radical difference between the Christian and the votary of these worldly amusements appears in this—there can be no reciprocity in their enjoyments. In his associat.on with the worldly man in his amusements, the Christian makes a con; cession winch the worldly man will not reciprocate. I'he former is expected to affiliate with the latter, hut the latter never affiliates with the former. No one would dream of seeing a frequenter of a theater or of the race-course goinu with the Christian neighbor whom be had been inducing to aocompany him to those places of amusement, to attend the prayer meeting or the religious assembly, which the Christian is supposed to love. �November, 1885. 9 THE F RIEND.

Satellite on Friday evening, Oct. 9th, was perhaps the rhost successful and profitable entertainment given by the Association. A well selected programme of readings, vocal and instrumental music was admirably rendered. Three brief speeches were interspersed at proper intervals, after which the entire company were served with ice cream and cake, provided by the British Vice-Consul, who is Chairman of our Entertainment Committee, and the President of the Association. Next in order followed responses from the guests of the evening, which consisted in heartily expressed thanks, and two songs, in one of which the crew joined vigorously in the chorus. One of the speakers said "ho had been nearly all over the world, but he had never met with anything to excel the reception and entertainment of the present occasion." In closing, at the suggestion of the Chairman, all present rose and joined heartily in singing "God Save the Queen," Which Was followed by"Auld Liang Syne." "Three cheers for our Honolulu friends were then proposed and enthusiastically given by the sailors, as with smiling faces they took their departure, feeling they had enjoyed a good time" of the sort that brings only sunshine and pleasure in the subsequent hour of quiet reflection. " " CLASSES. The Singing Class under the efficient eadership of Prof. Yarndley promises to lecome a valuable help to our general work. The members attending this class will be the better qualified to assist n our public meetings, and perhaps later they will be able to give a concert in the course of entertainments. We should be glad to welcome a few more ladies to the cla>s, especially those singing tenor. The class in Book-keeping was re-organized the first Monday evening in October. Several of the former scholars graduated from the class at its close before vacation, but a sufficient number of the new members of the Association have joined to form a large and interesting class. Mr. P. C. Jones, an Ex-President of the Association, organized the first class over two years ago, and has continued its constant and faithful teacher every Monday evening since when at home, except during a short vacation last summer. A class in Geometry was formed Oct. 10th to meet every subsequent Friday evening at 7.30 o'clock. Mr. H. W. Laws of the Government Survey Office, a young man of superior ability, und one of our recently elected members, has kindly consented to teach the class. The only requisite to join one or all of the above classes is a membership ticket in the Association,and a pledge to regular attendance. Young ladies are admitted to the singing class free of charge. YOUNG MEN. During the past month there has been a very noticeable increase of young men among the numbers who have patronized our building. Of course the conspicuous Welcome" at the front entrance indicates that our doors are open to all. Yet there is a particular pleasure in seeing the young men turn away from the questionable places and forms of amusement to put themselves under influences that are pure, and that will give an up-lift to all their better aspirations. Such an institution is the Young Men's Christian Association. An interesting variety of reading matter can always be found in the Reading Room, and surely no pleasanter spot can be found for social diversion than our attractive Parlors—beautifully furnished, well lighted, delightfully cool, and provided with al the principal parlor games. Young men, remember they are yours, to use and enjoy. " IN THE SHADOW. We frequently meet young men who appear to be so sadly out of harmony with all their social surroundings that one is led to believe the lens of their little telescope must be strongly tinged with blue, and that the range of their observation is chiefly along the shady side of life. Because of an imaginary slight, or a fancied failure, on the part of superiors to appreciate their valuable qualities they have become soured and censorious. The young man who makes the laudations of men the goal of his endeavor will find sooner or later that he is following simply the Mirage of the desert, —in another form, it is true but none the more satisfactory in results. My young friend, apply all your God-given energies to develop those qualities in life that will make you useful rather than ornamental. Worth will be discovered, and its possessor will be invited to the front in due time. Character will take the prize. "Chromos strike the sight, but merit wins the soul." FOOD FOR MEDITATION. Mrs. Clara Hoffman, President of the Missouri W. C. T. U. in a recent address in lowa, said,—" From the report of the Commissioner for Internal Revenue for 1883, I have learned that the amount of tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, liquor, and beer consumed iv our Republic each year, gives each of our sovereign voters 3J pounds of smoking tobacco, 10 pounds of chewing tobacco, 250 cigars, 6 gallons of " " whiskey, 33 gallons of beer, besides 10 gallons to each woman and child. Happy voters ! Happy country 1 "Then, that there shall be no falling off of patronage, and that the rising generation should be well and fully prepared for coming citizenship, there were consumed 100 cigarettes for every one of the children between 10 and 21 years of age. "Then millions of pounds and millions of gallons of ".comfort" were furnished by our Christian Republic to other peoples not as favored, Christian and cultured as we." There is much in the above that can bo applied to these beautiful islands so wonderfully blessed by God, but so sadly cursed by whisky. As individual christians and as an Association we have an important work to do along this line. "Rescue the perishing." Protect the innocent. "GOD BLESS THE Y. M. C. A." The following lines were written expressly for this page of Tiik Friend, by Mrs. M. F. Greenleaf, a Ixdoved Christian friend, in our old home, Lowell, Mass. God bless the V..M. C. A. of onr land, God bless them everywhere; In the Isle of the sea, the spot He has given Like the Eden of old so fair. May the influence carried abroad so far, By young men, from the east and west. Gather in a harvest for him each year, Of those by bis love redrest. We're praying for you here in New England, And when in communion with Him, We pray that if dark may seem the way, Your faith may never grow dim. And when here your mission-work is done Antl you lay your armor down— May the Y. M. C. A. of christian lands, Receive a star-decked crown. A COSTLY LITTLE PAINTING. "My, but these art works do run into money," remarked a passenger, whose breath smelled like the south side of the Ohio river; it beats all what fools some folks make over pictures. When I was in Chicago I saw a little painting about a foot square that was held at $500. 'Spect some simpleton will come along and buy it. If I had a million of money you'd never catch me paying $500 for a little painting like that." That's the way you talk," spoke up a bashful drummer, but I'll bet that you've paid four times as much money for a painting not a tenth part as big." "What, me?" " " Yes, you." " What of a painting ? " The onekind the end of your"nose."— at " Talk. Train Some of our Honolulu young men will do well to discontinue their practice in the above kind of painting. When perfected it is a possession not usually enjoyed by the owner, and one not easily disposed of even at a heavy discount from the original cost. Depend upon it, there's no money or real pleasure in the business. Sec. Fuller will return Nov. 8 from the California Y. M. C.

This building continued in use until it was replaced by the present commodious and substantial building of coral stone. This building was commenced in 1830, under the auspices of Kamehameha 111 and the then Premier, the high Chiefess Kinati, and GovernorKekuanaoa. Alxiut SO,001) in money was subscribed to begin with, and besides the subscriptions in money, the rulers gave a considerable portion of the stone, lime and timber for the building. The stone was cut from the coral flats, in front of the town. Tho lime was obtained by burning the coral. The timber was brought largely from the forests back of Honolulu, and some from California and Oregon. The shingles came from Oregon ; boards, nails, glass, sashes, and lamps from Boston. The tower clock was presented by James lluiinewcll, Esq., of Boston. The length of the building is 144, and the width 78 ft. The whole basement story is excavated down to the coral rock, and the foundation walls are laid on that rock. Tho basement walls are 44 inches thick and about 12 feet high. The corner stono was laid with due ceremony at the north west corner of tint building, at the to]) of the basement wall. This is a block of Waianae sandstone weighing about half a ton, Which was procured by A. Paki, the father of the late Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop, and transported to Honolulu under his direction. Beneath this stone were placed a copy of die Hawaiian Bible, a volume of Mathematics and one on Anatomy, both in Hawaiian, anil a brass plate on which was inscribed the date, reign, and the object for which tho church was erected. The engraving was neatly done by G. L. Kapeau, then a studentat LahainaltiiniSeminary. Abovetho" basement, the walls were carried up 30 inches thick to the sills of the gallery windows, and thence 27 inches to tho plates. Rev. Mr. Bingham returned to the United (States in 1840, while tho building was yet incomplete. Rev. R. Armstrong succeeded him as Pastor of the church, and uncTer him it was completed and dedicated July 21, 1842. Originally, the audience room occupied the whole inner space, and the pulpit was placed at the southeast end. Tho side galleries extended the whole length of the building, and the whole floor space was occupied with seats. Both fhxirs and galleries were notunfrequently filled by the large congregations of those days. But subsequently the decrease of tho people rendered it desirable to reduce the size of the audience room, and a partition was run across the main floor, and the pulpit moved forward to correspond. In 1848, Rev. E. W. Clark succeeded Mr. Armstrong as pastor of aha church, and continued in thatrelation till 1803, when he resigned, and Rev. H. H. Parker, the present pastor, was installed, �Under the present pastorate, a gallery has been thrown across tho end of the audience room behind the pulpit, a fine pipe organ placed on it, large and heavy but appropriate chandeliers have been provided, and the whole audience room has been refloored, newly seated, and provided with a large platform pulpit.

There must be a visible and organized church, and a special and definite constitution thereof. I have been however, accustomed to think that no specific form of church government la ordered by Christ or defined by his apostles; that no one form is essential to the validity of the ministry and of church ordinances; and that that form of church government is best in each church which test promotes the order, peace, purity and spiritual activity and growth of the body. In this latitude of opinion I may be seriously in error. Quite possibly those Episcopalian brethren may be right, who narrow the bounds of valid organization to churches under Episcopal rule, and of valid ordination to that transmitted by an unbroken apostolical succession' of bishops. It might even be conceivable to a right-thinking mind that the Lord Jesus may have intended all his churches throughout the world to be subject to the Bishop of Rome, as their head, although my own mental adjustments make such a thing inconceivable to me. But however human errors and mental limitations' cause true believers to differ on these points, of one thing I am positive and certain, (and you also, brother) that my Lord and Savior rose from the deatl, as was witnessed "by many infallible proofs," and that he lives and reigns, antl is the blessed and almighty Head of his body the church. We know him ; he reveals himself in our souls in love and power. Our strength is from him. Our spirits live and grow in him. Following, trusting, obeying him, we belong to him, and he knows us as the members of his body, and will bring us with him when he appears in glory. It seems needful to emphasize above all things this privilege we have of personal union and closeness to our Lord and King. In the light of this one great and essential fact of Christian experience, how inferior do all considerations of outward forms appear ! How little must the large and loving heart of our blessed Redeemer care for those things • The weak, wayward love of his people, their trembling, wavering trust —how unspeakably great to him is it to confirm and strengthen these ; how little he cares for the outward badge or style of array. Is not this living union of souls to the one Head, the true unity of the church ? Thus trusting him, thus loving, thus loyal to one Beloved, we must love and honor one another. And for his dear sake, we shall gladly work together to save from sin and satan those for whom he died. B. Honolulu, H. I. "He leads me sometimes joyfully, sometimes sorrowfully, but always wisely."—A class meeting testimony. " THE TRUE CHURCH. The Lord Jesus Christ "is the head of tlic body, the church." (Col. 1: 18.) The church of his people are united to him by the closest and most Intimate tie, so as to he, as it were, a part of himself. It is evident that this cannot lie the bond of a mere outward form expressing allegiance. It cannot be mere membership In any outward visible organization, however sacred and solemn. It must be a personal union between the living Savior and the soul of each member of his body. Bach one must be joined to Ids Lord by the tie of personal and real adhesion —of loving, trusting, clinging faith. Without this, no professed and formal connection, however regular, with Christ's visible church among men can constitute true membership; nor does it secure the Inestimable benefits of union to Christ. That can come only by each member for himself with his whole soul taking hold of the Lord Jesus as his living Savior, Shepherd and Friend. In this view we believe that all enlightened Reformed Christians unite. The teachers of Reformed or Protestant churches are generally disposed, we believe, to emphasize the need of personal, heart-faith in Christ, however they may differ as to ecclesiastical principles. They all accept and hold the view that Christ knows his own sheep, the souls who cling to him, and that of whatever service and value outward and formal church-membership may be, it does not of itself render any one a real member of the body of Christ. No doubt, the divergencies of opinion are very serious among earnest Christians as to the importance and the validity of church organizations, and external ordinances. For myself, I hold outward and definite organization of the church "Strength is born in the deep silence to be needful and of extreme iinpor- of long-suffering hearts, not amidst joy." CHINESE Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. The new house for the Chinese Y. M. C. A. Is progressing rapidly and will probably be ready for use in a few weeks. It is situated in a lot in the rear of the Chinese Church premises with which It is immediately connected. There are also entrances from Beretania and Fort Streets. Generous subscriptions have already been raised from the members and their friends in Honolulu, and subscription papers have been circulated among the Chinese in Kohala and at other points. The new building, in addition to a large apartment for meetings, will have a reading room and a number of small rooms, for the temjwrary accommodation of members who may be without a home, and there will also be accommodations for the sick and destitute, if necessary. This Association is a very worthy one and exerts a most excellent influence upon a large number of Chinese, who are thus made acquainted with the principles of the Christian Religion and shown the evils of heathenism. Any donations which friends may be pleased to make towards defraying the expenses of the new building will be most gratefully received by Mr. F. W. Damon or Mr. Goo Kirn. —In the opinion of The Golden Era it makes all the difference in the world whether it is an ox or a man : If intemperance should break out among horses and cattle, there would be an extra session of Congress called ill less than three weeks to stay the evil.

Grant, the most illustrious soldier of the sacred cause of union and liberty and the most famous figure of our epoch is dead. After a long continued and distressing illness which has served to reveal more fully how endeared lie was to the American people, the hero has passed away. A thrill of sorrow has gone through the heart of the great Nation of which he was the most highly honored citizen. On these faraway Islands of the sea our hearts too have been touched and the tidings have stilled us into silence. We share with the Nation in the great bereavement. The cause and the ideas for which the General rendered his distinguished services gave him a national and a world wide reputation and with national honors he was taken to the place where now his mortal remains repose. General Grant won his first military spurs in the war with Mexico. In the hour of her sore need his own country called him to arms and to her defence. "There's a divinity that shapes our ends." Here was a providential man, a man for a great crisis and who subsequently proved equal to the occasion. The patriotic spirit with which he went into the war is shown in a letter which in April of 1801 he wrote to Gen. Dent of St. Louis, which has only recently been made public, and in which he says: "Now is the time, particularly in the border and slave States, for men to prove their love of country," and also, "President Lincoln can have not only seventy-five thousand, but two millions of men, if necessary, to put down the rebellion." He went to the field at the head of a regiment and by the unseen hand of God was led on to rise by merit to the foremost rank in the army and in time to assume full command. It needed only the touch of opportunity to reveal the elements of his character and the possibilities within him. Under God ho became not only the chosen but also the victorious leader of our armies in the struggle to save the imperiled Union. To his prowess in the field the National capital owes its existence and are we indebted for the preservation of Constitutional liberty. His sword was drawn for theperpetuity of the American Republic. It was Grant who not only prevented the severance of the Union, but to him the great Rebellion finally laid down its arms. For his distinguished services he will he honored as long as the annals of the Republic endure and his memory kept green in the hearts of his countrymen. His military fame rests on the solid foundations of a great achievement, for he did the work which the Nation with prayer and expectant hope committed to his trust. Hebecame the "saviorof the Country." And to him did not only his own land but all the crowned heads of other lands do honor. The Republic was established on firmer foundations. Our country came out of the fiery trial purer and stronger, with a better future before it and to be more than ever the land of the free and the home of the brave." The name of General Grant, who came out of the great struggle a successful commander, will be embalmed in the National history and fill a place in the annals of the world. His character and achievements should serve asan example and an inspiration to young men, to devote their energies to duty and the weal of others; and lead those whom God has placed in high and responsible positions, regardless of self or personal ambition, to stutly and promote the best interests of the people, that their praise may be on the lips of nifMi and at their departure they may leave behind the memory of a good name. " DR. S. IRENÆUS PRIME. The hand which but a short time ago penned the beautiful and touching tributes la the New York Observer, in memory of Dr. Damon and Mrs. A. W. Smith, will write no more. For Iren.eus has entered into rest. How soon he has followed his Sandwich Island friends to join with them the company of the redeemed in the better land! More than threescore years and ten were allotted him, and now as we take a review of Dr. Prime's life, it seems that through the whole of that life the spirit ot our Lord was his: "I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work." For nearly half a century his name has been identified with the widely circulated Observer, and with the civilizing and uplifting causes of education, philanthropy and religion. A busy, useful, widely influential life has been that of Dr. Prime. And, thank God, that influence abides. Though being dead, he will continue to speak through his forty books and the unnumbered lives, and institutions and enterprises on which through all these years he has brought his powerful influence to bear. We shall Irenwus Let' ter." His pen and presence will be missed in the religious world. But the great lesson illustrated by his example remains—to do with our might the work of life and to prepare for the call of God, "Come up hither." greatly miss the weekly " EDITORIAL NOTES.

Certain politicians in the States are striving to usher in the next ['residential campaign at once, though the election will not take place till '88. The Current well says: "The Uovernraeut is for the people, and if the people need anything in this world just now, they need a little time to attend to their personal business. The politician has had the ear of the private citizen; now Rive the business man a chanoe." The Occident of a recent date says, "Rev. Dr. Divid Wills, U. S.

Wills, we are informed, is to be the guest of Mr. J. T. Waterhouse, Sr., of this city next January. We hope the Doctor will bring Lemuel with him. Rev. J. A.

Once fliore we embarked in the Kinau. In the world, " " Our comfortable state-room was ready for us. We had a large American mail and the hours passed swiftly by. Kurly in the afternoon we reached Keaohou, the new landing plane to the Volcano. Here we met for the first time Mr. John 11. Maby, the genial and popular manager of the Volcano House. Mr. Wilder had kindly arranged that we should stay here over night which entirely accorded with our wishes. The next day under Mr. Maby's guidance we traveled on horses, the first four miles by a gradual ascent to the Pali ; thence onward through a tropical forest full of the ohia and other trees, many of them in full blossom, while the road, gradually rising, is lined on either side with a great variety of large and beautiful ferns. Wo reached the Volcano House, fourteen miles from the Keuuhou landing, in good condition, satisfied beyond anticipation witli the ease and convenience whereby our journey had been conducted. During our stay .of twelve days we made two Volcano excursions and descents into the crater. Both nights the element! were propitious. The crescent moon walking in her brightness and the clustering stars relieved the evening gloom. The path which we traversed across the lava beds to the lakes is quite direct. For three miles we walked over this lava field where the flow has as> tuned fantastic shapes, at times twisted together like coils of rope, but inure often heaped up in petrified waves. We first came to the so-callel Little Beggar," or as we have since heard it named I'cle's throat and Tele's chimney," the new, small crater on the route to Haleinaumau. We found it exceedingly active and the heat of it was intense. In due time we reached the South lake, which the natives long ago named Haleniauinau," the everlasting house, the abyss in which they were wont to throw the bones of their chiefs, to the end, it is said, that no vulgar feet might ever tread above them. A stupendous phenomenon to which no language can do justice, met our eyes. Before us was the lake, surrounded by almost perpendicular walls, from 100 to 150 feet in height. These high, bold and irregular clifls present a strange, picturesque appearance. We found the lake in part apparently dormant, but at other points in a state of unwonted activity. The lava was being constantly thrown up in jets ; fountains sprang high up and were perpetually breaking into fiery spray. A surging mass dashed like surf against the walls of Haleinaumau, accompanied by a roaring like the sea. Pele's hair streamed in the whiffs of rising gas. We saw fountains playing and rockets throwing sprays high up into the air. The lake was undergoing a constant change and to all appearances increasing in activity. Portions at first quiet revealed commotion and began to throw forth the lava in fiery fountains and crimson waves. The view through the opera glass augmented the grandeur of the " " " " " �5 THE F RIEND. September, 1885. scene. Frequently the center of the lake heaved up and tossed up showers of fiery liquid. It kept bubbling and boiling upward in glowing cascades, at times lighting up the heavens and the sombre surroundings with a peculiar brilliancy and the eye never grew weary of the sight. Returning we frequently saw the hot 1 ava through the crevices a few feet below the surface. We arrived at our hotel at midnight and after refreshments had been served we retired to rest. On a following visit our guide led the way first to the new lake. When we reached it its surface was almost entirely quiescent. We had been waiting on the bank for perhaps ten minutes and were preparing to confess to a feeling of disappointment, and thinking there would he no action we suggested proceeding to But the guide said, Haleinaumau. "Wait!" and scarcely had he spoken the word when the fiery unrest began. There was a dull, rumbling sound and a seething wave spread along the edges of the lake. Gradually J t broke up. Everywhere appeared golden and crimson borders of fire piece by piece the old crust dissolved ; after a great quiet the whole lake suddenly boiled in every part and swallowing the black crust a fiery red soon glowetl over the entire surface ; the lake burst into mightiest activity, a seething mass and violently- agitated, and was then submerged in the now perfect sea of Are and boiling upflow and Same. Electrified we followed with fascinating eyes the workings of this surging, tumultuous ocean rtf fire. There was a roar resembling thunder. The ebullition of the lioiliiig mass sent up sounds resembling the waves of the sea when they break on the shore. The surrounding walls were brilliant with the reflection of the burning lava and the heavens were lit up with wondrous splendor. The scene was beyond description complete in its awful, terrible grandeur. We stood before ontMif God's master pieces. What compared to this are the designs of Raphael and Michael Angelo ? Verily, the finished pictures of the great masters are but feeble imitations of the choice exhibitions of God, the noblest master. Relating to these volcanic phenomena there are among others these questions that arise in the mind : How shall we explain the periodical breaking up of the lakes ? The most natural theory that has been suggested and one that seems plausible, stated in condensed form, is that the lava is kept liquid by the great quantities of heat that come up from unknown depths. But the heat of the steam is inadequate to keep the surface of the lava from cooling. The result is the formation of a semi-solid crust. As the crust takes shape the lava below it grows hotter. While the crust thickens and grows cooler the lava underneath gains intensity of heat. As its intensity increases the ebullition grows more violent. At length the crust can no longer ; —« sustain itself. The hot lava asserting itself a breach is made in the cru*t and the break up rapidly spreads while the lava which has been cooled at the surface descends to lie reinelted, the process repeating itself continually. Is there any connection between the craters of Kilauea and those of Mauna Loa? (apt. C. E. Button, of the U. S. Geol. Survey, a high authority by virtue of his thorough investigation of the subject, is of the opinion, that the lava reservoirs of the two localities are not one and the same, because if such connection existed the Kilauea craters would at once drain the reservoir of Mauna Loa down to their own level. By this theory the craters are independent of one another as much so as Mauna Loa and Mauna Ken, each locality having its own reservoir and wholly disconnected from the reservoirs of other volcanos even though these be closely adjacent, ('apt. Button deems himself strengthened In this view of the disconnection of the reservoirs of Kilauea and Mauna Loa because of the distinct character- of their respective lavas. He admits however, that the same cause may act upon both, producing eruptions from both. Thus disturbances in th -craters of Kilauea Save in some cases been accompanied by great excitement in Mokuaweoweo, crater of Mauna Loa, indicating that the cause which sets the one in motion simultaneously actuates the other. What is the source or cause of volcanic heat ? The thoughts are naturally turned to the solution of this problem. It is a well-known fact that the deeper wo penetrate into the earth the greater are the degrees of heat. But this leaves the question still unanswered. It remains for Science to find the key that shall unlock the mystery to the cause of volcanic action. If the origin of volcanic heat could be satisfactorily explained a great point in knowledge would be gained and we would have facts in place of opinions that as yet are tentative and liable to modification. We leave this region to-morrow. Our stay has been restful and invigorating. The weather, with the exception of the storm on Sunday, the 26th, has been pleasant during the day and such at night that the wood fire was comfortable and homelike. We record our appreciation of the kindnees and polite attentions of Mr. J. H. Maby, the courteous and obliging hostof the Volcano House. While writing we are called out to the veranda to see the effect of Haleinaumau on fire, the entire heavens being brilliantly illumined. The scene is one never to be forgotten. This locality so replete with interest and instruction is one of the grandest to visit and will draw we think constantly increasing numbers of those who desire to see the mightiest active volcano in the world. E. C. Oggel. TOUR BENEATH THE SOUTHERN CROSS. BY MERTON RUSSELL COTES. We left Plymouth November 1, 1884. We made our voyage in the ship Torrens, with M saloon passengers on board and after the usual stereotyped run of weather we arrived in Adelaide on the 24th of Jan., 18H5. We found the beat, although very dry and oxhilerating, excessive, being sometimes 115° in the shade and after one week's sojourn left for Melbourne. We remained visiting our friends and all the places of interest in Victoria upwards of two months. During this time we saw the gigantic trees in the Black Spur Mountains, Gippslaiul, many of them attaining the immense altitude of 400 to 500 feet and from 70 to 90 feet in circumference. We visited the new and most beautiful city of Ballarat, where we went down the Last Chance Mine," accompanied by the directors and managers and my son. This mine is nearly 500 feet deep and some ol the cuttings extend from 100 to 150 feet. On ascending we were photographed in a group in mining costume and presented a most ludicrous appearance. At Warrnambool we saw potatoes as large as it man's head and weighing from 8 to 12 pounds each, enough for six men's dinner. After leaving Melliourne, which is a very fine modern city of stone buildings, we arrived at Sydney—quite an old fashioned English looking town with tin? finest harbor In the world, and after sojourning there a fortnight visited the nine Mountains and that marvelous engineering wonder the great "ZigZag" Railroad. The scenery of the Blue Mountains is altogether so sublime and grand that I know of nothing at all like it except Martin's great picture of the " Plains of Heaven," or some of Gustave Bore's similar works. The Fish River" Caves in the Blue Mountains are wonderful, being more beautiful and extensive than the Mammoth Caves of Kentucky or any other in the known world. During our tour through Australia we were much pained to find how much the Free Thought movement had taken root and the hard up-hill tight the Ministers of the Gospel have before them to combat it. During our stay in Melbourne one of the judges, Mr. Justice Williams, published a pamphlet entitled "Religion without Superstition," wherein he strives to show that the whole universe is governed by what he calls the God of Nature," and that man requires no other divinity or mediator either as a God or Savior; that, in short, Nature alone is our all in all, —the Alpha and Omega of our own and the world's existence, He then proceeds to ridicule the New Testament history from beginning to end, flouts the idea of Christ being God— man, but nevertheless paradoxically admits that Christ was a good man." How a good man could be an Arch-Impostor he fails to explain, and no weaker point in his pamphlet is more apparent " " " " �6 THE FRIEND. than this ! The Trinity Mr. Justice Williams scoffs at, as being unreasonable and absurd and altogether inconsistent with Nature's (the God of feature) laws. This pamphlet created much excitement and contention. Many lectures, sermons and pamphlets were hurled against it, and with such admirable judgment, acumen and power that commen sense could not withstand the irresistible force of the arguments brought to bear and it culminated in Mr. Justice Williams' Religion Without Superstinotorious tion" becoming a subject for ridicule except among those whose preconcerted views were in favor of Free Thought. I think it only right to add that iv Auolaide we found little or no Free Thought movement compared with Melliourne, where it unfortunately appears to be the rule, especially among those who have lieen the most successful. In fact as they have been prospered so in proportion do they appear to have forgotten the Hand from which all their worldly pelf has proceeded. The Almighty however has been graciously pleased to show great mercy in this city in providing it with most excellent Ministers of the Gospel and Servants of Christ. I would mention two in particular whose; words were rich in pure simple Gospel truth, cutting like a two-edged sword the Rev. T. E. Ick, of the Presbyterian Church, Albert Bark, and the Rev. Mr. Hall, Pastor of the Baptist Church, Melbourne, earnest, conscientious men, straining every nerve to combat the baneful effects of the most detestable movement of modern times Free Thought. We visited Hobart, Tasmania, a charming old English looking town in a lovely harbor surrounded with grand hills, the highest (Mount Wellington) forming a picturesque background for the town of Ilolurt, nestlingat its feet. The climate here is of an exceptionally equable temperature throughout theyear,<tay;»nd night, rarely varying more than 10 degrees in the 24 hours, and nmging from 50 to 05 during the winter and 70 to 80 in the summer—the average being about fiO all the year round. With more energy and capital Tasmania could be made the richest and most prosperous colony in the universe, as certainly it is now one of the most charming and healthy. After leaving Tasmania we steamed to the Bluff, Invcrcargill,the southernmost point of the Middle Island, of New Zealand, then on to Port Chalmers and Dunedin, a purely Scotch settlement with a Mcotch climate, Scotch mountains, Scotch accent and indeed everything to remind one of Lang Syne" and I may. fairly " Auhl Auld add Reekie." Christchurch, which Is only one night's steaming from Dunedin we found equally as intensely English as Dunedin is Scotch. No mountains—a flat fertile well wooded and splendidly watered plain—(the Canterbury Plains, so called after the Canterbury Pilgrims" or first settlers) the city itself being in its center with the " — — — " " lovely serpantine Avon, with its banks liiu'd with weeping willows, winding its way with sparkling and rapid strides in and out in every direction, bridgeseverywhere, so that within a comparatively short walk the Avon is crossed and recrossed many times. The streets here are at right angles and till named after the different Bishoprics at "Home"— as England is invariably called throughout the Australian Colonies, and the citizens seem to partake of the feeling of intense respectability their streets ought to inspire, by a demeanor and general appearance at once proper ami well-to-do. Wellington, the Empire City, is the seat of Government, but has nothing else to recommend it. Every building is constructed of wood, even a high pile of three stories occupied as Government offices—except the new Post Office which is exceedingly handsome and built of stone and concrete. The employees' lot therein however is not a happy one, for at any moment an earthquake might raze the entire fabric to its foundation and bury everyone within its ruins. The entire description of this city may be summed up In my wife's words as Wet, Windy, Wooden Wellinyton ."' Our friend Sir Julius Vogel objected to this as a libel on the place when I suggested that the word Wretched" should be added to the other appellations. The suggestion was not considered an improvement! To the marvelous wonderland among the Maoris in the "King Country," I cannot attempt to do justice. Its hot lakes, geysers, mud springs, sulphur springs, pits and holes of roaring, boiling, fretting, fuming steam ; its caldrons of lioiling waters at 220 degrees Fahr.; its magnificent and unparalleled alabaster marble, pink and white terraces, no pen can describe, no picture can delineate. For further particulars of this interesting locality and the remedial and curative properties of these hot springs of Ohinemutu and Rotoroa I must refer the reader to my friend Dr. Ginder's (the Government medical officer) pamphlet. The fair sex especially ought to be interested in these marvelous natural hot springs, there being one named << Madame Rachel" which has worked the most extraordinary metamorphoses in their personal charms, giving them soft, velvety and delicately beautiful skins and complexions. Forchronic rheumatism, gout, skin diseases and all such kindred affections these thermal springs possess the highest reputation throughout the Australasian Colonies. I have also come in personal contact with 'hose who have derived much benefit from a course of these baths. The distance from Auckland to Ohinemutu is about 150 miles and is best made per steamer Clansman from this port to the charming little town of Tauranga and thence per coach through the Oropi Bush. The whole journey is completed in 24 hours and costs four pounds for first-class return ticket. From « " Volume 43, No. 9 Ohinemutu to the pink and white terraces of Rotomabana and back is a distance of al)out 30 miles occupying two days at a cost of two pounds each person for the return ticket, including coach, boats, guides and fees. Dv ring our visit to Wairoa, the stopping place for Rotomabana, we became acquainted with Mis. M. P. Snow, of Fitchburg, Mass., who had prolonged her sojourn among the Maoris for upwards of six mouths under peculiar circumstances. Her .-on visited this place about two years previous simply as an ordinary tourist in search of health. He however became so deeply interested in the natives of Wairoa that he determined to remain among them for the sole purpose of using his influence and example to wean them from the intemperate habits ho found them addicted to. They became deeply attached to him and success attended bis most exemplary and Christian work. His health still failing he arranged to return home through Europe and he left Wairoa amid the deepest regrets of the Maoris. His health grew worse and he finally broke down in the Red Sea en route for England which however he was never destined to see. On bearing of their son's decease, Mr. and Mrs. Snow determined to visit the scene of their dear son's good work. Business matters would not admit of Mr. Snow accompanying his wife ; she therefore arranged to make the trip alone. On her arrival at Wairoa she was received with delight by the natives and Sliding how much intemperance still existed she determined to remain sufficiently long to complete the work her son had carried on with such signal success. This she did and returned home in the P. M. S. S. Australia, on the 23rd of June, 1885, and traveled with Mrs. Cotes and myself as far as Honolulu where with sincere regret we had to part company with her, she proceeding to Fitchburg, via San Francisco, wo remaining at Honolulu preparatory to our visit to the Volcano of Kilauea. One of the gentlemen who came down to see us off before leaving Auckland by the Aim/ratia was the Rev. Thomas Spurgeon. This gentleman has accomplished in Auckland an exceptionally admirable work in establishing a Tabernacle at a cost of upwards of £14,000, every penny of which was absolutely subscribed and paid for before he preached his first sermon. We visited his Tabernacle several times during our sojourn in Auckland and on each occasion found the place crowded to excess and many outside unable to obtain admittance. His eloquence and excellent plain, forcible English reminds me of John Bright, and in his telling and earnest appeals to bis congregation one could not help feeling one's spirit refreshed and intensely gratified with the Gospel of our great Master as He Himself would wish it preached. May many earnest Christian men be grauted to us, who like Mr. Spurgeon shall serve the Lord in spirit and in truth. �September, 1885. 7 THE FRIEND. ville, the largest sugar mill, or rather I after; Nature's handmaids began to fold mills, in the world, looks like a rowof up the clouds "like a garment," but the August lilth, 1885. j dirty red brick; while Knhului, Wai- folding was poorly done; the Wailuku TOPOGRAPHICAL. luku and Waikupu, art; apparently not mountains seemed to be the place where first attended the so large as the set of toy building blocks most of these "folded garments" were in Chautauqua, I 1874, and among the attractions (?) was with which Master Harold is now amus- packed away in great masses pile on pile; but there was not room enough there for a miniature Palestine, about half an acre ing himself.

Oat's arrival from California a pleasant surprise party was given to her. A number of guests were present, and the ever radiant Mr. Oat did the honors of his house in his genial style. A most enjoyable evening was spent by all those who were present. BY F. WILLIAMS DAMON. To the readers of the Fkiknd in former years, the name of Sit Moon, the Chinese preacher and missionary, was a familiar one, as that of a most faithful and devoted christian worker. The announcement of bis recent death at Kohala, Hawaii, will be received with sincere sorrow by many who knew and valued him highly. He was a man of sterling character, remarkable executive ability and most sincere and unassuming piety. In the early years of missionary effort among the Chinese in Honolulu and in other parts of these Islands, he labored with the greatest zeal and enthusiasm in the organization of the work, and instructed many of the agencies which are now in active operation for the spiritual and temporal benefit of his countrymen in the group. He was converted in California and was first connected with the Presbyterian Mission Church of San Francisco, and labored as a colporteur in the service of that mission, with much acceptance. He left behind him a high reputation on the coast as a devoted christian worker. He came first to these Islands in 1875, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. of Honolulu, anil ut once began his laborsheretimongtheCliine.se. He gave from the first great satisfaction and won the confidence of all those with whom he came in contact. Interesting notices of the beginning of his work will be found in the Fhiiond of that year. He visited different parts of the Islands, and continued the wor.k begun in Honolulu. He was one of the leaders in the organization of the Chinese Church in Honolulu, and was the first acting pastor of the same, and held this position for several years. For some time past he has resided In Kohala with his family. Though of late not engaged in active missionary effort, he has thrown his influence a I way*, upon the right side. He was at the time of his death connected with the Kohala Chinese Church. After a faithful and earnest life he has entered upon his eternal reward. His name will long l>e remembered with reverent affection by the Christian Chinese for whom he labored with so much zeal. Appropriate memorial services were held in the Chinese Church, of this city, last Sabbath. After a i>eriod of one to two years, missionary effort has been resumed among the Chinese in the Island of Kauai. It has been the aim of tin■ Superintendent prayers of christians are earnestly solicited for him that God will be pleased to bless his efforts. There areat present fiveChinese preachers actively at work in these Islands, one at Kohala, Hawaii; one at Hilo; one on the Island of Maui; one on Kauai, and one in Honolulu. These with two Chinese teachers in the boys' and girls' schools in Honolulu, make up a company of seven assistants. The work among the Chinese in Hilo, owes much to the earnest and self-denying efforts of Mr. W. S. Terry of that place. He has for several years devoted himself with great enthusiasm to the spiritual elevation of tl»e Chinese in Hilo and the adjoining country, as lie has had opportunity and has been most successful in winning the affection and confidence of those with wi.oni he has come in contact. For some time he has acted as superintendent of the Chinese Sunday School held in the Foreign Church. He has aapuired some knowledge of the language, anil we trust he will continue his studies in this direction. Recently he has made quite a missionary tour with the Chinese preacher, .Mr. Wang Pang, now stationed in Hilo, visiting all the most Important points along the road from Hilo to Waipio Valley. We wish that it was possible to give in full his very interesting letter descriptive of this tour, but our limited space forbids, and we are obliged to content ourselves with ihe mention of one or two items. They were received most kindly by both Chinese and Japanese, at the different plantations. At Pepeekeo and Laupahoehoe especially opportunity was given to meet quite a large number of Chinese. At Paauilo they were most hospitably entertained by a Chinese shopWhen they came to leave, be insisted upon the travelers taking each a package of coin. "We tried to refuse lint it was no use. He said he wanted to pay expenses. We took it and found it to be $8 for each which has more than paid all expenses." At another point they were pleased to find a Chinese Sunday School conducted by Mr. Puty and his wife. Tracts were distributed all along the way among the Chinese and Japanese. The letter abounds in interesting and encouraging incidents, and the two missionaries felt that their time was not in vain. After being absent about t,wo weeks, they returned to Hilo.

Young Man—does personal experience or history any where tell, that you can improve upon the divine plan ? Many have tried their hand at it, with results varying only in degree, all the same in kind. We want to kindly ask the young man of Honolulu who reads this page, if you are in any degree reversing this divine order of things ? If so, Beware !! We have seen it tried, the results were not encouraging. We have known young men to pass the six days given for honest toil in idleness, or in painful labor because the night had been spent in riotous dissipipation. We have known young men of promise posessing a keen sense of right, would scorn a mean thing, and yet allowed themselves to be inveigled into an unprofitable and unholy use of the Lord's Day. This proved to be the pivotal point in life, on which their future turned downward, instead of upward. Nothing can be more desirable for a young man than a knowledge of the right, a sensitive conscience to apply the same, and a strong will that holds on until duty is performed. These valuable qualities of young manhood are best developed not by spending theLord's Day in idle lounging in boating, in picnicing, or any other purely worldly and selfish amusement, where a reverential thought of God never enters in the past, yet there is room for improvement. If a larger number of young men would occupy their poition of the time in brief prayer or testimony it would be of incalculable value to themselves, and also give more variety and spirit to the their plans.

Lalx>r problems are at once the most intricate and the most urgent that press for public atttention ; and their urgency and intricacy are not diminished by the alarming prevalence of child-labor even in most favored lands. In the United States in 1880, the number of boys under sixteen years, and of girls under fifteen years who were wage-receivers was 1,118,000, an increase of GO per cent, in a single decade. "In twelve leading mechanical industries, women and children compose a fair majority, and in some important cases have an almost absolute monopoly of labor as against men." A residentin theanthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania was led to an inquiry into the employment of children in the mines by having noticed a boy of six and a half years regularly accompanying his father to work. He found "that boys of from six to fourteen years earned forty-five cents per day at picking slate ; of these there are thousands at work. The labor of driving mules in the slopes and gangways is performed by boys between the ages of eight and sixteen at about sixty cents a day. At the tender uge of seven, boys are taken down to work on night shifts with their fathers. On day shifts these boys leave home at six o'clock in the morning and often do not reach home again until seven in the evening. Under the surface, at the depth of from 200 to 700 feet, breathing in the dampness, the poisonous gases of the coal and powdersmoke, they tire doomed to hard labor as if they were working out the penalty of some unpardonable crime." This is little better than the condition of England's laboring population at the opening of the century. The employment of child-labor in Massachusetts has undoubtedly had much to do with furnishing thatcommonwealth with its 75,000 illiterates over the age of ten. The factories and mines are usurping the prerogatives of the school in citizen-making and are turning out voters as poorly equipped for the duties of citizenship as the minerals and textile fabrics that pass through their bauds. Unreasoning illiteracy was at the bottom of all the violence and bravado in the recent strike of iron-workers at Cleveland. What is in store for the great Western nation that is thus allowing one in every fifty of its population to grow up physically, mentally, and morally unfit for citizenship only the inevitable labor complications of the future can reveal. But the problem is a pressing one here in Hawaii. Large numbers of Portuguese boys under twelve years of age work regularly on the plantations. The Volume 43, No. 9 ISLAND TEXT BOOKS III. For the peculiar work most of our teachers have in hand, so much can be said against the geographies now in use among us that it is difficult to think of anything that can be said in their favor. They are microscopically minute in the attention they give to local American Hawaiian children, and geography. Portuguese as well, must learn about Bmttlohoro, and Katahdin, and Monongahela, and Yankton, and Winnipiseogee, etc., before they learn anything about such a land as China, or Australia, or even England and Germany. Again, being meant for American children, and being prepared for the laudable purpose of making American children thoroughly well-acquainted with their own country, it is not surprising that, in three different geographies, the amount of space.devoted to the United States is respectively 31 per cent., 32 per cent., and M per cent, of the whole. This is an unnatural percentage Of minute study of the local geography of a foreign country for Hawaiian school-children to havo set before them as a task. It is a mass of meaningless information that discourages teacher and pupil alike ; and is the occasion, not Infrequently, of a total collapse of the study of geography in some of the schools. But this local coloring of the geographies affects the structure of the maps, and while the map-work of some geographies has well-nigh obtained perfection, so far as the instruction of American children is concerned, it is obvious that such minuteness is a serious obstacle to the comprehension of a given map by the majority of our pupils. Why sliouM our Island children who are acquiring English, be compelled to learn the Uuited States by states and territories rather than as a unit. How enjoyable it was for boys in primary and grammar school grades in America, twenty years ago, to learn the names and location of all the petty German States! The Franco-German War was a blessing to Yankee boys for it blotted out the fashion-plate markings of Central Europe and left them a single great nation to study. It would be an inestimable blessing to Hawaiian children if the State lines could be sponged out of maps of the United States, and some of the lakes and riven could be evaporated, and some of the capes and mountains could be robbed of their names, and seventy-five per cent, of the State capitals could be obliterated. And what is true of the United States in these particulars, is just as true of every nation. For use here, all the geographies that have come to our attention sadly need compressing. It must not be forgotten, that, for the present decade at least, English language instruction must occupy the foremost place in most of outschools. In very few schools does it getting. occupy anywhere near the promineut A good educational system is a chief place that the exigencies demand. In factor in tno national well-being. order that more may be done with teachers of our schools have the greatest difficulty in securing the attendance of Portuguese l>oys who are able to carry a pail of water, or handle a light hoe. In some cases large numbers of Portuguese boys are enrolled as being in attendance at certain schools when they are regularly at work on some neighlioring plantation. It would lie a revelation to the public if reliable statistics could be published showing the number of boys and girls under fourteen who are regularly employed in the various industries of Hawaii nei. The law looking to the compulsory attendance of all children of a suitable school-age would seem to be sufficient in securing its object. The fact that it is not is due to several reasons. In the first place, the teacher in a given district has the greatest difficulty in securing an accurate enrollment of children of a school-age in the district. In many instances the enrollment is only of such as have actually presented themselves at the school-house. If it were made obligatory on all employers of labor to return semi annually a list of all children of their employees, under sixteen years of age, a great step would he taken towards the accurate and complete enrollment of school-children. Of course, without such an enrollment only a partial attendance can be counted on, In some school-districts there are probably scores of children whose names have never been on a school record. Again, so long as employers of labor are allowed to draw children away from school by offering wages for their work, the cupidity of illiterate parents will find ways of evading the school-law. Many employers of labor would be glad to have a law enacted making ii a punishable offence for employer and parent alike, within certain limitations, to induce children of school-age to go to work instead of going to school. Undoubtedly child-lalxir is a valuable element in the lalior necessities of our moat important industry. In many forms of light work, a child can drop into a man's place and release him for heavier work much to the profit of the employer. Hut not to the profit of the common welfare ! Illiteracy lias no more terrible curses than for the employer of labor. An elementary education that inculcates obedience to law, respect for authoriry, and a community of interest, is the employer's best safe-guard for the future. Childlabor everywhere shortens life, vitiates the constitution, predisposes to disease, invites intemperance, and fosters criminality. It is incumbent on onr Christian community for otherthan mere utilitarian reasous to restrict, so far as possible, the pernicious practice of employing children in the various industries when they should be at school. The littleold faces of childlaborers among us appeal to us for more of the privileges of life than they are �greatest ease in this direction, a reformed THE CHURCHES. geography is needed in the schools.

The epicurean made Him being. Their common philosophy is like that of the present day, which boldy declares that God cannot be known. While atheism denies the existence and personality of (tod, agnosticism neither affirms nor denies. It says we have no knowledge of (tod and of man's relation to the Supreme" Being. The term is applied only to Cod and religion. It is admitted that in other fields we may come to know what is true. There are questions that have arisen in the mind for which it has craved a solution. Men of intellectual strength have devoted the best part of their lives to a careful and profound investigation of history, astronomy and philosophy ; and though after long and laborious research only a part —and perhaps but a small part —of what may be known is ascertained, yet there are many things which as results of diligent and profound study we have accepted as facts worthy of our belief. It would be remote from the truth to say that we know everything, for instance, about astronomy; but it would be as far from being true to say that we know nothing about it. The same applies to agriculture, art, and the like. It is also agreed that some things are known of man, as to his physical and mental organization. But when we approach the existence of Cod, it is asserted that nothing can be known or understood of a .Supreme Being, and that there is DO attainableness of any religious knowledge. But this theory of Cod as the unknown and the unknowable bears the mark of insufficient investigation. Says The Occident in this connection: Before a man can Bay there is no evidence of God be must be a great explorer. He must possess such powers as to bring himself up lo the level of omniscience. Fur if in bis own breast and mind and heart and moral nature, if in bis own intelligence and will, he cannot Und any evidence of God, he may find it in Nature. If he does not find it in New York, he may find it in Pennsylvania; it he does not find it in Pennsylvania, he may find it in California; if he does not find it in California, he may find it in Nevada; if he does not find it in Nevada, he may find it in British North America; if he does not find it there, be may in tbe ocean. And if be does not find it in these, what right has he—while the whole universe is unexplored, while the stars shine out m their beauty, while they revolve with suoh perfect mathematical accuracy, while the moon performs her functions, and while the sun never sets in shade, but nil shades mid darkness and doaht vanish before his translucent presenoe—what right has a man, while the i/roat universe is unexplored, to say, There is no evidence of God !" He must first traverse that universe; and when be shall have gone from star to star and | I met to planet in his ureal search, and fidled, then, and imfl ill then, he will have the right to say, '* There is no evidence of a personal God." For who knows, if he has not found God in Saturn, but he may be in Mars; if he has not found linn in Mars, but that he may he in Orion? And when man has thus searched with finite power and only tli.it, there will be yet before him the infinite eternities of time to aid Inm in the search; and thus be must be an omnipotence in himself boforehe cm stand tip and say: "There is no testimony that God is." " Number 8. niiiiilier, "Alfred Honolulu " insists on stretching the rubber band a little more, oven at the peril of breaking it. Ho Insists that bishops are everywhere and always spiritual lords," and advises everyliody to read a sermon of Canon Liddon's, in order that they may know all almut "lord-bishops." Thank you, but we prefer our Greek Testament, if it is all the same to you. And there we learn, in the language of Dean Alford (see his Commentary on Acts 20:17) who ought to be good Anglican authority, that Klders and Bishops were originally and apostolically synonymous." In the New Testament we get no hint of any such office as lordbishop. Bishop" and "Klder" were two names for the same office. So says Dean I'luinptre.of Kings College,London: "EpUoopoi (bishops) and presbuteroi (elders) are nowhere named together as being orders distinct from each other. The same persons are deserilied by Imth mimes," (Article on Bishops, Smith's Bible Dictionary.) We regard Jesus Christ as of still greater authority than even two Anglican Deans, and his plain teaching on this question of lordship would seem to be sufficient: " " We readily concede" that the highest Order of natural genius in all its soarings and teachings has failed to lintl out (Jod to perfection. But weclaim that the existence, power and goodnessof (toil are mirrored In Ills works. And when methods of thought and all mental effort was exhausted, the cry of the soul, "() send out Thy life and Thy truth" was responded to by the Father of light and the Fountain of truth. The sacred writings bear the evidence that they are the word of God. The light that illumines the volume and man's pathway is Jesus Christ. The twilight of natural religion Ye know that they which are accounted to rale brightens and broadens into the clear over exercise lordship over them: and light of the Gospel.

We remember the story of a man passing along the street, who rashly interfered when he saw an Irishman chastising his wife, and for his pains, the wife joined with the husband and thrashed the benevolent gentleman soundly, and so we hesitate to take any hand in "the little bit of difference" between "Alfred Honolulu," whoever he may be, and the Editors of The A. C. Y. We have searched our copy of the Directory for the name of "Alfred Honolulu," and cannot find it. The Editors tells us that he is the Bishop of Honolulu," but as we have fifteen or twenty Bishops (sco Acts 20:17, 28,) in Honolulu, that does not help us much. Hence we are compelled to accept this title as a norn dc plume. But it is not the identity of the persons engaged, so much as the bit of difference" between them which interests us. As near as we can understand it, it Is a question of breath, or narrowness. Our friends, the Editors, in their June number, seized the rubber band of Anglicanism, set their feet together and by vigorous pulling made it look quite broad. But even this rather forced enlargement of the Anglican clastic ecclesiastical circle looked too small to their anonymous correspondent. And so, in the July " " thereof, not - bat * neither an being lorih over Ood'B lieritmie, but*being onsaitiples to the flock.—/ fewillingly; # ter 0.1, .'(. • And then The A. C. C.'s anonymous correspondent takes up the important matter of ministerial dress, upon which, in his opinion The Chronicle was not "broad" enough. He claims boldly that in the matter of church-millinery there are no "sealed patterns, after which each surplice, stole, chasuble, ety.," must bo made, but that here the church is very "broad," so much so that "all manner of varieties of shapes and patterns may Indeed! Let us suppose be found." that one of the editors of The A. C. C. should see fit to exercise his "liberty," as to the form of his surplice, and next Sunday morning should appear before his congregation in the broad church arrayed in a purple robe, with tight sleeves, and in imitation of the latest dress.reform, the bottom bi-furcated ! Would he not And the climate of Honolulu grow very tropical, and that speedily? Would "Alfred Honolulu" stand by the priest, and shield him from the authority of his "lord-bishop" in this exercise of his liberty? The A. Y. O.'e correspondent passes from the great question of ministerial dress to say: This may seem bqt a small matter. [Yea, it does.—Ed. Frump.] But what it points to is thi* . —that the Anglican, Ctrqrcb, so far from being • �THE FRIEND, 4 narrow, formal, exclusive, national "isnt"—a kind of Procrustean bed to huh the dimensions of which every one must be cut down, or stretobed according as he should be found too tall or too short; a system which aims at moulding all within its pale after one pattern with Chinese exactness —is the most tolerant, liberal, and comprehensive branch of the Church Catholic Perhaps ! In the matter of belief, the Anglican Church is "broad"—so "broad" that it is a serious question whether her liberty does not degenerate into looseness. But in all other things U she dyes not build a "Procrustean bed" what church does? Mr. Machonochie, in England, by exercising his "liberty" in one direction, and Mr. Cheney, in America, by exercising his in another, learned how "broad" the "Procrustean bed" is. And so does every "priest" who Jares exercise the liberty in worshipping God which the New Testament grants to every redeemed soul, dare a "priest" of the "broad," "liberal," "tolerant," church deviate one iota from her prescribed forms ? Suppose some great calamity, or some other Providence of God, has touched all hearts in the community: Dare the "priest" standing at the altar of the broad church deviate one single word from the set service? Dare he read a comforting passage from God's word other than the lesson of the day, or voice in prayer the thought and petition in every heart? No, not until some "lord-bishop" has been pleased to dictate to him the form of words lie may use; and if there is no such functionary at hand, he must stand there before his people dumb, without one particle of liberty. And "most tolerant, liberal!'' John Bunyan and the Pilgrim Fathers did not find the Anglican church very tolerant. We shall be told, of course, that that was an intolerantage, and that the Anglican church simply was no better and tin worse than all others at that time. But the church which to-day arrogantly claims that it is "the only church," and all others are "sects;" which denies the validity of all ordinations except her own and refuses the title of clergyman to all ministers of the Gospel except her owu "priests;" which claims that her houses of worship alone are churches while all others are only "meeting-house," or "chapels;" which intimates, if she does not openly claim, that through her baptismal-regeneration and church-door lies the way of salvation, may perhaps, be the "most liberal and toler. ant" of all churches, but we should choose quite different words to characterize her spirit. We believe, brethren, that your church has a work to do in this Kingdom. We rejoice in all its successes. But when we come to talk about .'breadth" and toleration facts are stubborn things. Instead of magnifying churches, and organizations, would it not be a more excellent way to magnify Christ? The thousands in Hawaii lying underthe curse and doom of sin,care little whether our churches are broad or narrow: they do care for the bread of life. Shall we not be anxious to excel in " " zeal in giving this to Hawaii ? Then that church which does this most effectually will have no need to be anxious for fear its merits will not be known. BEER DRINKING AND HEALTH. Perhaps there is no fallacy more widely believed, and more specious, than that beer drinking is conducive to health. Beer drinking gives added weight of flesh, and the appearance of robust health. And yet U' is i air and promising exterior is invariably the cover of weakness, which sooner or later succumbs at the touch of disease, or added strain. On this point, Col. Green, President of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Co., bears the following significant testimony, which scores of men in Honolulu, who. never are the worse for liquor," would do well to cut out and paste inside their hats : " In one of our largest cities, containing a great population of beer-drinkers, I had occasion to note the deaths among a large group of persons, whose habits in their own eyes, or in Ihe eyes of their friends and physicians, were temperate: but they wero habitual users of beer. When I began, they were on the average, something under middle age, and they were, of course, selected lives. For two or three years nothing remarkable was to be noted. Hut presently death began to strike the group, and until it bad dwindled to a fraction the mortality was astounding in extent, and still more remarkable in tbe manifest identity of cause ami mode. Thar* was no mistaking, the history was Volume 43, No. 8 worshipping God, and who takes upon his broad shoulders added responsibility that the Sunday (School and the* prayermeeting may continue to do their work. Blessed is that Christian : he shall not lose his reward. And blessed is that Church which has a large corps of such. And those who do leave home for a time need this type of religion. Our advice to every one is: If possible take a vacation, but take your religion with you. We have known people, of whom the Church had a right to expect better things, leave their religion at home when they started on a vacation. Take a religion with you which will enable you to keep the Sabbath holy; which will make you unselfish and mindful of the rights of others; which will make you keen-eyed to see opportunities to do good, so that it may be true of you, as it was of Christ, that "as He journeyed He taught;" which will lead you to the house of God, on the Sabbath, and the prayer-circle on Wednesday evenings; and, even though you may be among strangers, make you enter heartily into the religious life of the place, so that the little handful of Christians in some out-of-the-way place may during all the rest of the year have occasion to kindly remember "the stranger which tarried in their gates;"—in a word take conscience with you for a traveling companion on your vacation, and you will return not only strengthened in body, but in soul also. almost invariable: robust, apparent health, full muscles, fair outside, increasing weight; then a touch of cold or a sniff of malaria, and instantly si a ne acute disease, with almost invariably, typhoid symptoms, in violent action, and ten days or less ended life.

Congregations dwindle ; whole sections of pews have a "plucked" look; the Sabbath School decreases, and the Superintendent is compelled to double up the depleted classes, for lack of teachers ; and the prayer-meeting attendance becomes but a handful—then blessed is that Christian who is faithful, who morning and evening of each Sabbath is found with the children thou hast given mo," " " " " " Yes. Very true, and very well put. But what about the smoke from the omnipresent cigars and pipes ? The smoke is taken into the smoker's mouth, and is then puffed out into the air, and often into they ry faces of other people. These unfortunates have no choice in the matter; they must take into their nostrils and langs that which has been in the omnipresent smoker's mouth. Has any man a right, for the sake of gratifying an acquired appetite, to force clean, decent people to fill their lungs with smoke which lie has just ejected fromhis mouth? We agree with The Nation in all that it says about "excessive salivation." But the nuisance of smoke-poisoned air, which clean i>eople are compelled to endure in �all public places is still worse. Clean people can avoid the snail-like trail of salivation which the average smoker leaves behind him, and by care can keep their clothing and persons from defilement, but how can they keep their nostrils and lungs from defilement? The smoker would be insulted were he offered a glass of water a mouthful of which hud been returned to the glass after having been in some one else's mouth, and yet when he puffs his cigar along the street, or in a public place, he compels other people to take into their lungs that which he has just ejected from his (clean?) mouth. We would not sit in judgment upon smokers. We would not question the the right of any one to use tobacco. But we do hold that no one has the shadow of a right to use it in public. A gentleman respects the comfort and rights of others, and one of the rights of every clean person is the right to breathe pure, unpoisoned air. Smoke if you will, but be unselfish and a gentleman, and do it in private. BENJAMIN HALE AUSTIN. Hawaii has met an irreparable loss in the death of Judge Benjamin Hale Austin. In his high office so strict was his integrity, so high his standard of duty, so colorless and utterly impartial were his rulings, that even the most bitterly disappointed litigant never dreamed of questioning his motives. As a citizen he was unselfish, and always a warm supporter of that public policy which he believed to be right, and which he thought would result in the "greatest good to the greatest number." As a husband and father he was kind, loving, thoughtful. As a friend he was genuine, and he fastened others "to his soul with hoops of steel." As a Christian he was sincere, looking up to God with that implicit confidence and love with which a child looks to his father. His charity was unfailing, and his bright smiling face and clear kindling eye was but the mirror of the strong, pure, loving soul within. His memory will abide in Hawaii an inspiration to noble and pure and unselfish living.

Purity lies within the range of self-actions. The pure in heart shall see God.

Volcano Housk, July 20, 1885. Early in Juno we received a very cordial invitation from the Rev. Mr. Jordan to pay him and his family a visit on our way to the Volcano. It was accepted with pleasure and we agreed, nothing preventing, to make our trip the following month. We left Honolulu on Tuesday, July 7th, by the Kinau of the Wilder's Steamship Company, arriving the next morning at Mahukona, where we enjoyed Mr. and Mrs. Wight's hospitality at their home till the departure of our train, which brought us at noon in good condition at Kohala. Mr. antl Mrs. Jordan and their little daughter were at the station to welcome us, and when we reached the parsonage we were made to feel at home at once. During our stay there of nearly a week every thing was done to make our visit pleasant and one long to be remembered. It was a genuine pleasure to meet Father Bond. Our first introduction to him was at the large native church, where a quarterly church meeting was in progress at the time. He presented us to the native brethren and after exchanging greetings we expressed our gratification at finding them engaged in the work of the Lord. On Friday morning Father Bond placed a model pair of horses at our disposal for a trip to Polalu Valley. The ride is one of about six miles through as many gulches, but on reaching the valley one is abundantly rewarded by the wonderful beauty of the scene that greets the eye. From the high point of observation on which we were standing we gazed at the charming, lovely landscape below, and it took some moments to realize that this glorious Volume 4.1, No. 8 picture spread before us in light and did us good to be with him and to speak shadow and feeding our eyes with its of the things pertaining to the Kingdom profusion and variety was not a fancy of of (Sod.

For the last seven years Mr. Dyer has been the efficient and acceptable principal of the schools at Kohala. During this time they have alsobeen devoted and able helpers in the native and foreign churches. We received tokens of kindness from individuals and families. Horses and conveyances were cheerfully placed at our disposal. The days, which passed rapidly, were full of enjoyment and rest. Siilibath morning gave promise of as fair a day as any of the weeks preceding. The Sacrament commemorative of our Savior's death and love was to be celeShortly before the service a brated. shower fell but there was a good congregation in attendance. Pastor Jordan preached an appropriate and effectivo sermon on The mission of Christ to save .-innors," after which the Sacrament was administered. The hoar spent together was profitable and helpful. The writer preached in the evening and Miss Alice Kenton assisted the choir by beautifully rendering a solo entitled "Nazareth." Brother Jordan bus reason to be greatly encouraged in his work. According to the testimony of Father Bond and others the attendance at church services is larger than it has ever lieen before. A line field of work presents itself. There are those who have not yet decided for Christ, but who through the Gospel may be brought in. There-are also a considerable number of Japanese and Portuguese. The christians at Kohala are debtors to these people to lead them to the know I edge of Christ and under abb; and faithful leadership they will do their duty in this direction. The Chinese church is doing well. The pastor, Kong Tet Ying, is bold in much esteem. Mi.-s Moiiross and Miss Turner are efficient helpers in tho Sunday school. On Tuesday we spent a good portion of the day most pleasantly with Mr. James Ronton and family. Here we had the pleasure to form the acquaintance of Dr. and Mrs. Wight. After an elegant luncheon Mr. Renton kindly took us through his mill and we saw the processes through which the cane on the field becomes the sugar for the markets and for daily use. We took tea with Father Bond and children. In a short time this venerable man of Ood will reach his 72nd year. It Dyer.

His statements being questioned the Nashville American investigated the matter with tho following result: "There are in Nashville, thirty sir licensee wholesale liquor bouses and eighty-one persons in the business, sixty eight of whom are church membets, divided as follows: Nineteen Catholics, fifteen Methodists, twelve Presbyterians, seven Episcopalians, six 'Christians' (Campbellites),siz Baptists, and three Cumberland Presbyterians." —Does dishonesty pay?

When Secretary and Missionary Editor Forbes was granted his well-earned three months vacation, the Hawaiian Board tried to fit his editorial mantle upon several brethren; first they tried it upon Rev. H. Bingham, but as Mr. Forbes is only about 5 feet (i inches tall, while Mr. Bingham rejoices in his (J feet 4, it was at once evident that the mantle was too short for a good fit. Then the Board tried to stretch the garment over the broad shoulders of Rev. S. E. Bishop, but an ominous tearing of the fabric warned them to desist. Then, taking advantage of bis absence in Hilo, the wise Hoard voted that the should be forced over the already overburdened shoulders of Dr. Hyde. What is the old adage about it being " Easy enough to lead a horse to water, but not so easy to make him drink"? Well, so it has proved in this ease. Dr. Hyde won't don that mantle! And so we have stuffed it with straw, fastened the dummy in the hardest-bottomed chair in our sanctum, put before it a file of papers, tied a pair of scissors to the end of one sleeve and a paste-pot to the other, and lo! as a result the following page of matter! If this experiment continues to work satisfactorily we may decide to fill all our editorial chairs with dummies. HAWAIIAN LITERATURE. One great lack in the religious growth and culture of the llawaiians is a varied and healthful literature. Aside from the bible alxait the only literature (?) Which enters the home of the Hawaiian is the native newspaper, and with one or two exceptions, so far as religious growth aud culture are concerned, the papers are a detriment. Our duty as a-member of a committee led us the other day to an examination .if the stock of books kept on sale by the Hawaiian Hoard. We found among others the following in Hawaiian: Bunyau's Pilgrim's Progress. Life of Abraham Lincoln.

Dull times in business have pinched many givers ; but surely the cause of the Lord should not be suffered to languish. On Him all prosperity depends, and He may certainly be expected to bless those who do not neglect His work. —The United States has at last waked to the enormity of the crime of polygamy,- and the conscience of that great Nation demands that the remaining "twin-relict of barbarism" must go.

" The contribution box—what is it? convenient agency through which we can make some slight return to God for his countless contributions to us. Some people object to a contribution box in church ; they find it very distasteful to their sense of propriety in worship to have such an article thrust into their face every Sunday. Yet is not every one of us passing his personal contribution box to the Lord, not on Sunday alone, but daily? Our instinctive cry is, "Give, give !" Every prayer is in a certain sense the passing of a contribution box unto Him who declares, "Ask and ye shall receive." The contribution box ought to be recognized as a more sacred call than it is, and its frequently noiseless appeal ought to echo the Master's words, Freely ye have received : freely give."—The Only a very " Congregationalist. —The New York World, commenting upon the defeat of the Gladstone ministry says: The great British nation, as represented in Parin its might and driven the Liberal Ministry from power with a bung-starter.

He is a man whose to externals and nonessentiOTS is stronger than his attachment to the truth. He is a man who forgets the interests of truth in his absorbing zeal for the interests of his party or sect. He is a man who will "compass sea and land to make one proselyte." The Pharisees were sectarians. The Jesuits and Mormon propogandists are sectarians. Every Christian missionary who seeks to rally men about the standard of party rather than about the standard of truth, is a sectarian. It is not a savory name. Its declension is pharisee (i.e. sectarian), hypocrite! But all religious teachers are not sectarians. John was not, Jesus was not, Paul was not. The Jews were not all Pharisees, Catholics are not all Jesuits. Religious teachers in the main care more for truth than party. There is a common ground on which men of very diverse creeds can meet and join harmoniously in practical religious instruction. The man who doubts the being of God, and the existence of sin, and the need of salvation, and thepower of Jesus, the Christ, to save from sin, is the exception and not the rule. And the man who cannot teach these fundamentals of our Christian religion without unfurling, his party's banner, be he Catholic or be he Protestant, is not a man fit to instruct the young in any morals whatsoever. The point we make is, that religious instruction in schools is practicable here in Hawaii. The pressure of heathen morality is heavier every year. The heathenism of Eastern Asia is stalking into our school-rooms. If Anglo-Saxon civilization has anything in it that lifts it above Asiatic and South Sea Island civilzation, it is its Christianity. Hawaii nei, as against all other creeds, is a Christian nation. The morality tiught in its schools must be a Christian morality. It must be based on the Bible. It must be grounded in respect for God's truth, and in reverence for God's character. It must be definitely Christian, and it can be so without being sectarian. It was not sectarianism that brought England up out of heathenism. And sectarianism can do nothing to rescue this outpost of civilzation from the merciless heathen morality that is restlessly moving toward our shores from the West. We are a Christian people, with Christian institutions and Christian standards, and our schools should be Christian schools. The policy that abandons such a position as this will prove a disastrous one to the schools and the country alike. began Jnsuly Publshool vacaitco24. 9 THE F RIEND.

Ihe American Teacher. " " " " " " " — �Volume 43, No. 8 THE FRIEND. 10 —Every moral code that commands and secures obedience among men, derives its highest and most restraining authority from religion. What is needed in the moral training of the young is the making of tho conscience regal by the proper use of the sanctions and authority of religion. There is a practical mean in the public school between godless moral training and technical religious Instruction.—E. E. White, L. L. D. —TheLondon School Board deals with 800,000 children. In the last three years its Vice-President, the chief executive officer of the Board, Mr. Mundella, has had but one complaint, viz., that of a father who wished his children withdrawn from religious instruction, a request not granted because the mother persisted in wishing her children to receive such instruction. And yet it is the rule of the Board, That the Bible shall bo read, and there shall be given such explanations, and such instructions therefrom, in the principles of morality and religion as are suited to the capacity of children ; provided that no attempt be made in any such schools to attach children to any particular denomination." The world's metropolis in this matter sets an example that might well be imitated in many another city. —Since the passage of the famous "conscience clause" of 1870, a distinct -revolution in public sentimont lias taken place in England relative to moral instruction in the schools. There are now 4,273,000 children receiving religious instruction in the schools of Great Britain, against 1,093,000 in 1870. At Birmingham a very determined effort to secularize the schools was for a time successful, "but public sentiment experienced a reaction ; the policy was set aside, and to-day unsectarian religious instruction is given in all her Board schools." The English system favors religious instruction not sectarian, with perfect toleration to all creeds. The American system rules out religious instruction, and so emasculates its moral training out of dread of the cry of sectarianism. The English system is definitely Christian, and so aligns itself with the highest civilization ; the American system at best is only apologetically Christian. " LIPPINCOTT'S MAGAZINE. LippincotVs Magazine for July opens with a fresh and long instalment of "On this Side," which few readers will be likely to pass over in quest of more entertaining matter. No seriar published during the present year has excited wider interest or been more unanimously commended. "A Temple Pilgrimage," by Henry Frederic Reddall, describes very delightfully the buildings and purlieus of those famous inns of court," the Middle and Inner Temple, so rich in historical and literary associations, extending from the days of the Crusaders to those of Goldsmith, Lamb, and Dickens. "The Next Vacation," by Alice Wellington Rollins, offers a tempting " bait to summer tourists in its facinating description of the scenery of the Great Lakes and the varied incidents of the inland voyage from Buffalo or Detroit to Duluth. The Pioneers of the Southwest" is the first of two historical papers by Edmund Kirke. An article, by J. Bunting, on the late Joseph J. Mlckley, the well-known collector of coins, autographs, and rarities of many kinds, and a man of singular simplicity and charm of mind, will interest readers of kindred tastes and pursuits, while those who like sea sports and a dash of adventure will find attraction in "The White Whalers," by C. F. Holder. Miss Thicker* Aurora is brought to a satisfactory conclusion in this number, which also contains some capital short stories and anecdotal papers. " " " IS CHRISTIANITY DECLINING. Rev. Dr. C. H. Parkhurst, in tho July number of The North American Review, has one of the brightest, keenest articles on the alleged decline of Christianity which we have read in many a day. In regard to the present loud-mouthed "assurance of unfaith," Dr. Parkhurst shows that it is no new thing. He says : In the North American Review of December, 1879, Froude says, "Protestantism has failed." In the Atlantic Monthly of an earlier date Goldwin Smith writes, Belief in Christianity as a revealed and supernatural religion has given way." In 1808 Dr. Ewer issued a book entitled Protestantism a failure." Buckle in his History of Civilization In England," claimed that Protestantism had seen its best days. In the times of Aaron Burr," says Parton, it was confidently predicted that Christianity could not survive two more generations." Of the same period another writer states that Wild and vague expectations were everywhere especially entertained, among the young, of a new order of things about to commence, in which Christianity would bo laid aside as an obsolete system." Considerably more Bethan a century ago Voltaire said, fore the beginning of the 19th century Christianity will have disappeared from the earth."It is an instructivecoincidence that the room in which Voltaire uttered these words has since been used as a Bible repository. "They came unto the sepulchre bringing the spices which they had prepared, and they entered In and found not the body of the Lord Jesus." And it is still so ; a redundancy of ointment, but no corpse. Dr. Parkhurst calls attention to an oftforgotten fact that in measuring the progress of Christianity we must take into account the force of resistance which it meets. Whatever Christianity has done or is doing, it is doing it all in the teeth of spontaneous impulse. Every inch that Christianity has gained or may still be gaining, it has gained in a square fight." Dr. Parkhurst confines his review of facts to America, and calls attention to two special hindrances to the pro- " " " " " " _ " " gress of Christianity there, viz: 1. The intellectual and spirtual independence of her people ; 2. The vast foreign immigration—eight millions in the last 30 years—a large proportion of which, is anti-Protestant, anti-temperance, anti-Subbath, anti-Bible." Dr. Parkhurst then says : And now as to the actual tokens which Christianity is at present giving of its own vigor. going As to any suspicion that forward in society a process of moral deterioration, such suspicion is* historically unfounded and is explicable on three grounds: the avidity of newspapers, which stand in electric connection with the remotest quarters of the country and make a point of giving largest prominence to whatever will satisfy an appetite for the sensational; meager acquaintance with the moral condition of society fifty, a hundred, or a thousand years ago ; and an elevated moral sentiment that takes offense now at what in time past would have been accounted as tolerable or even unexceptionable. Writing of a period a hundred years back, a recent contributor to JUackwootVs Magazine says: "It was an age when delicate young women of the best blood and best manners in the land talked with a coarseness which editors of the nineteenth century can represent only by asterisks." It is part of the history of the old church at Andover, Mass., that the chief causes of discipline for 125 years were fornication and drunkenness. Theodore Parker, writing in regard to the fathers of New England says, It is easier to praise them for virtues they did not possess than to judge them with fairness and discrimination." As illustrating the coarse intemperance of the times among Christian" people, he states that it is recorded in the probate office that in 1078, at the funeral of tho widow of John Norton, one of the ministers of the First Church, in Boston, abovo fifty gallons of wines were consumed by the mourners. Just two hundred years ago at the funeral of the pastor of tho church at Ipswich, Mass., there was consumed one barrel of wine and two barrels of cider." If this occurred at the funeral of an old and loved pastor, we can infer what excesses would be habitual on occasions less stated and solemn. In a historical survey of the Congregational churches of one of the New England Not very far States, it is related that from the period of the Revolution, several councils were held in one of the towns where the people were trying to get rid of a minister who was. often the worse for liquor, even in the pulpit, and once at least at the communion table! but some of the neighboring ministers stood by him, and the people had to endure him till death." This reminds me of the case of one who not above fifty years ago was deacon of a prominent church in western Massachusetts, who had habitually a drunken spree as an after-effect of tasting the wine at the sacrament, but whose irregularities were " " " �11 THE F RIEND.

The English-speaking world now has the fourth Authorized English Version of the Sacred Scriptures. It has two Revisions issuing from busy presses—the King James Revision of 1011, and the New Revision authorized by the Convocation of Canterbury in 1870, and just published. A brief review of the historical facts connected with our English Bible may help to dissipate the absurd impression lodged in many minds that the King James Revision, if not inspired, is at least so sacred that it must not be touched. John Wiclif, in 1381, gave the first English translation of the Bible, not from the originals, but from theLatin Vulgate. In. 1626 William Tyndale made the first English translation from the originals, and for it suffered martyrdom in 1530. In 1530 Henry VIII appointed a commission which, in 1037, issued the first Authorized Version, known as the '< Greate Bible." This was never popular. The Bible of the people was an unauthorized version (the Genevan), issued in 1500, which held its place in the homes and hearts of the people until displaced by the King James Version. During the reign of Elizabeth, a Revision of the "Greate Bible," known as "The Bishops' Bible," was issued by authority in 1508. In 1004 the King James Revision was authorized, and issued in 1011. Though a great improvement over all former versions, it was fiftyyears in displacing the popular Genevan Bible. And now we have the fourth Autiiorized Version. One hundred and one of the ablest biblical scholars of this age, or any age, have devoted fourteen years of incessant labor to this third Revision. There never before was such a force employed on any version of the Bible. Most other versions have been the work of one, or a few individuals. The King James Reonly forty-seven visers numbered scholars, all from the Church of England. In this New Revision, all branches of English-speaking Christendom have had a share, and every prominent denomination has contributed of its ablest and best talent to the great work. Not and the King James Version was made, more than 250 years ago, the Hebrew language was very imperfectly known ; grammars and lexicons were very few, tod very imperfect. The Hebrew scholarship of to-day is superior to any the world has ever before seen, and it is equipped as never before. The valuable Syrlac and Arabic versions were unknown to the King James Revisers. 2. Palestine, Egypt, the Sinaitic Peninsula, and the Valley of Euphrates, were compart lively unknown lands 260 years ago. These Bible lands are God's own comment.iry on His Word. They have been sear, hed during the last fifty yeais by one exploring party after another, and a flood of light has been poured in upon God's Word. '•i. Our own language, as every living language, is constantly changing. Two hundred and fifty years have wrought not only many changes, but given us greater knowledge of the exact meaning of our own noble speech. With these, and many other advantages, this hist company of Revisers ought to be able to give us a much better Version than the King James. And they have done it. This new Revision is not all it might have been, but it is incomparably superior to the King James or any other English Version. The change which will strike the ordinary reader first of all, and perhaps unpleasantly, is the arrangement of all prose books in paragraphs. For reference chapters and verses are indicated by figure* in the margin. This is as it should be. The present mutilation of the Word of God, by breaking it up into verses and chapters, does not appear in the original: it was the invention of man inspired by (we are tempted to add the Devil ! "). On this point we quote from The Christian Intelligencer: " Now, there is only one reason for breaking up a Bible into verses, and that is for the sake of easy And as that is the only reason for subjecting the book to such treatment, the chapter and verse should be indicated in the margin by figures, and in no other way. The division was made originally with undue haste, and under unfavorable circumstances. Kobert Stephens, a celebrated printer of New Testaments, perceiving the need of such help in finding a passage, marked the present div hious on the margin of a New Testament as he was journeying on horseback. Work done under such circumstances, much of it with unpardonable carelessness, is accepted and maintained by intelligent people, and by such excellent organizations as the Bible Societies, who reference. ••• sentment. This language is none too strong. In some cases in the Old Version you will find a single sentence broken up into three or four verses. For example, see Ezekiel iii : 15, 10, 17. Another marked excellence is, that the poetical teoks and passages are printed in poetical form, in couplets. A ease in which the advantage of this method is clearly seen is found in Joshua Kith chapter, wnere Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon!" at which infidels have carped, is shown to be poetry, and not a historical statement. In the space at our command, we cannot note passages in which changes have been made. So fur in our study of the book we have found few changes, if any, which are not for the better, and none which are not warranted by the original, or by good reasons. We give a few general observations elicited by the study which we have been enabled to give this New Revision. 1. It is emininently conservative—in some respects almost absurdly so. If the popular verdict in the case of the Revised New Testament was "overdone," in regard to the Old Testament scholars will say "underdone." It Is difficult to see why, for example, the word "Jehovah" should not have teen uniformly substituted for "Lord ;" the retention of this phrase is simply a tribute to past superstition. And why "Sheol," the Hebrew word for the place of departed spirits, equivalent to "Hades" in the Greek, should not have uniformly been used is pu-it comprehension. The American Revisers urged both these changes, but English conservatism compromised using them occasionally, but in the case of Jehovah using also the old misleading terms; and in the case of Sheol sometimes substituting It for lull; and also translating it by grave, which it never did mean ; by hell, wnieh it does not now mean ; and by pit, which is, to say the least, very obscure. In the matter of changing obsolete English words, many excellent changes were made, for example: Botch —boil; carriage—baggage; coast—border; conversation—manner of life; leasing —lying; let—hinder ; nephew* —grandchildren ; occupy—trade, with ; offend—make to stumble; road—raid ; table—tablet ; tache—class ; thought " * — anxiety; vagabond—wanderer; wenchr— �Volume 4!), No. 7 TH E FR I EN D. 4 maid-servant ; wimple—turban ; brigandines—coatfl of mail ; champaign —plain ; ensue—pursue, etc. But why the billowing and many other erroneous words should lie retained "is past finding out:" Basilisk for Adder; The going up tor i h< ; Astotiieil fur Astoiiialii-d ; Of the first year for A your old; Aforo for Before) Or ever for Before ; Mow up the trumpet for Blow the trumpet; Seethe for Hull; Bands for Bonds ; Chapiter- tin Oapltal; Dukes for Chief*; Plead for Contend; l'itoh tor ('amp; Find grace for Kind favor ; Heal for Food; Kray for Frighten ; Can skill for Knowi tli ln<w ; Lien for Lain ; Mount for Mound ; Oil olive for Olive oil ; Confectionary for Apothecary Ouolies for Sittings ; Siih for Since nscent , Why, too, should the old obsolete spelling Of such words as /rftiis/rr, cichil, bason, forgo, through!)/, etc., be retained ? •I. While scholars will find much yet to be desired in this Revision, the Christian who has learned to love the stalely diction of the Kin"; James Version will llntl it intact. The old literary form has been held sacred. If changes went not pointed out, the ordinary Bible reader would pass over page after page without discovering a single change. 3. It follows, of course, that not a doctrine has been affected by the changes made. The New Revision simply makes clear what before was difficult, obscure, or misleading. 4. To the English readei who desires first of all to know what the exact Word of God is, who cares more for that than all else, this New lievision is Invaluable. The Christian Union truly says : Whatever makex clearer thu spirit which thine* behind the letter, whatever bring* home hi the understanding and the heart the truth incarnated in the book, is to he welcomed. Those who desire to be to stop at the letter, to worship the undisturbed by any question* as to thesignilie.ance of sacred phrases whose meaning they have pel haps never even asked, to content themselves with rote repetition of texts and words, hallowed by external association, but not by inward meaning, will close their doors against the New Version. But whoso desires to get through the letter to the spirit, into the casket to the gem which it eon tains, will find in this New Version the best of all modern instrument* fur tlial^purpoae. Let there lie no haste either to adopt or reject this New Revision. Let it have patient, careful, thoughtful investigation, .Some one lias study, and criticism. truthfully and wisely said : The Mevised New Testament was condemned off-hand. Its f le men attempted to settle in let* than a furtuighu The multitude bought it, read it rapidly, did not wait for the patient examination of competent scholars, but finding here and there verbal and structural changes not to their fancy, discarded the book summarily, and have not looked into it again.

HJtd many of them are ready to-day to substitute it for the Accepted Version. In our judgment tin Revised New testament wna hastily and unfair!, ooudeiiiued. Let uk hope that the Kcviscd Old Testament will receive a more patient and caret ill examination. The greatest difficulties with which the New Revision will have to contend will have no connection with its merits. Ignorance will say, in the language of the New England Deacon, "If the Old Version was good enough for St. James It Is good enough for me !" and thus settle the case. The tender, sacred associations, and life-long attachment to the King James Version which bad become part of the life of the present generation of Christians, i- another formidable difficulty in the way of the ready acceptBut this mice of the New Revision. is simply prejudice.

With the love of (iod and the lose of man there is intimately blended in the human heart the love of country. Who is untouched by this affection?

The anniversary exercises at this Institution, which for the first time it has been our pleasure to attend, were interesting and satisfactory throughout The young people acquitted thetustves creditably. The results seemed indicative of close application on their part, anil of industry ami thoroughness on the part of their instructors. The thoughts which presented themselves to us here follow: It was a pleasure to enter the shady College grounds. But right here should it be said that about three thousand dottars art 1 needed for their improvement in various ways. Will the friends of the College take this statement to heart? We notice that the old buildings are The Bishop making way for new ones. Hall of Science, erected and furnished by the gift of the Hon. C. It. Bishop, of this city, has reached its completion and will, at the opening of the next College year, be entirely ready for use. It was pleasant at the examination to see besides the examining committees a numberof visitors in attendance. There might and should have base, more. A general, genuine interest in the cause of education, and in the progress of the students from year to year, would be a gratifying sign, and encouraging to instructors and students alike. With such excellent opportunities foran education, we hope that parents will not take their sons and daughters away from this Institution until they have finished the whole course. We fear there is too much of this, for we notice in the Catalogue of IKHI-o that out of M —the entire number of students—IS have not completed the year. We think the young man who leaves this Institution in the first or second year, or at tiny time before the full course is completed, commits a mistake which in later years he will regret. The fact that wo have tin Institution of such a high order, and so near to home and friends, is one which young men and women should not lightly re- essentials.

In the conduct of this department of Tiik Friend, special prominence will bo given to the vital relation of education to the evangelization of the various nationalities among us. The school is the natural complement of the church. Where the work is to reach people speaking aft alien language the school is of even greater importance than the church. What the church undertakes to do in inciting to faith and love and righteousness, the school must supplement by patient and ceaseless discipline in right thinking and doing. To emphasize this mission of the school, and to reinforce in all possible ways the moral uplifting of pupils in all the schools of the kingdom will be the chief aim in these columns. Further than this, it will be our purpose to thoughtfully consider some of the grave educational problems that face us in this little realm. The obligations thrust upon the present generation to provide adequately for the education of our immigrant population are such as perhaps never rested with like force on so small a body of intelligent citizens elsewhere. The great tide of European immigration hardly stirs a ripple on the the surface of America's vast imputation. But here every illiterate Immigrant counts definitely among the forces that make against righteousness, intelligence, and good government. The census shows that the tendency is to steadily increase the percentage of illiteracy. This is not wholly due to the immigration of an illiterate class, but likewise to the steady decline of the common schools away from the industrial centres. There is hardly a problem in common school education that does not in one form or another present itself here. These problems will be candidly discussed in these columns with the sole purpose of helping on the common interests of intelligence and morality. Education wears too serious an aspect among us to admit of captious criticism, whether of methods or results. We aim to strengthen and build up. If we can do this through kindly criticism and wholesome suggestions we shall be con- tent. ' —It is pleasant to note the fraternal relations existing among the schools at Hilo, as shown in the Union Temperance Concert of the various schools under the direction of the ladies of the Women's Christian Temperance Union of that place. Why might not similar concerts be held elsewhere both in the interests of temperance and the fellowship of schools and teachers ? ELEMENTARY EDUCATION IN ENGLISH. One is less surprised to hear men nowa-days occasionally maintaining that the education of Negroes and Indians, and of course Portuguese anil llawaiians, is a waste of time and money, than to learn that it was less than fifty years ago that many ol the upper and middle classes in England cherished and avowed a deeply-rooted dislike to the education of the poor." Wrote Lord Cockburn: "The principle was reverenced as indisputable, that the ignorance of the people was necessary to their obedience of law." Lord Melbourne, in 1825, questioned the ad vantage of education as a means of promoting knowledge in the world, since people got on without it. The Bishop of Durham Believed that education was not likely to make its way among the poor;" and the Bishop of Exeter said if, when rector, he had started a school in his parish, the squire would have laughed in his face. In a magazine article on How England is dealing with illiteracy," it is stated that "There are still to be found in England a few who view with dismay the education of the laboring man, and are loud in their assertions that education will unfit him tor his place in life ; make liim restless, ambitious, knavish, and a bad citizen in general." Even the historian Froude, in his article "On Progress," lends the prestige of his name to very much the same sentiment. It is a sufficient answer to all this, and at the same time to all the ill-considered " " " objections usually urged against compulsory elementary education, to make some quotations showing the condition of the poor classes in England in the early part of this century, and the present condition of education among them in its relation to criminal statistics. In the early part of the present cen- Volume 43, No. 7 males, and to 22 per cent, among females. Rut the two facts which clinch the argument in favor of elementary education in England are: First, that the social condition and the home comforts of the lower classes have steadily improved with the advancement of education; and second, "That, with population on tho Increase, crime is on the decrease, and that, too, in spite of the alarming prevalence of drunkenness." ISLAND TEXT-BOOKS—I. The English language is essentially the school language in this Kingdom. Hut the number of pupils in the schools whose vernacular is the English is less than 000 out of a total school population of 8,723, as reported January 12, 1884. This is only 6 per cent. We thus see that 94 per cent, of the enrolled pupils in our schools either do not study English, or study it as a strange tongue. The inquiry is a very natural one, whether the peculiar situation does not demand the preparation and publication here in Hawaii of a complete set of textbooks purposely designed to aid in tlio peculiar work of most of our schools. Our present tcxt-l>ooks, admirable as they are, do not furnish special facilities for acquiring the English language. They are prepared solely for American pupils who have, many of them, known no other language but the English. Resides, these text-books are arranged in sets, the really valuable information being scattered through several books, so that it is impossible for many in our schools to learn what they ought to know because they go 100 slow in their English to get beyond the limits of a single book on tiny given subject. Again, the text-books which come to us from other lands have such an emphasized local signification as to make it difficult to interpret them readily and profitably to many in our lower grades. In a series of articles, of which this is the first, we shall consider more in detail the objections which may justly bo urged against any and all text-l>ooks introduced from other lands, and the reasons why it is desirable to have a set of books prepared here by those who aro well acquainted with the situation, and have the highest interests of this population at heart. We shall also consider some of the obstacles in the way, both as to to the preparation and the Publication of island text-books. We invite consideration of this question in all its phases, believing that its right solution will mark an era in the school history of Hawaii uei. —It has been estimated by a high authority that a child from six to seven years of age is able to attend to one lesson not more than fifteen minutes ; a child from seven to ten not more than twenty minutes; a child from ten to twelve not more than thirty minutes.

Children of six were habituully employed. Their hours of labor were fourteen to sixteen daily. Law did not seem to reach to the depths of a coal-pit, ami the hapless children were often mutilated, and occasionally killed, with perfect impunity by the brutalized miners among whom they labored. In 1818 more than one half ol the children were growing up without education. In the manufccturing districts forty per ceut. of the men, and sixty-live per cent, of the women, were positively unable to write their own names. In 1830 Parliament voted £30,000 towards national education. Rut it was with difficulty that this amount was obtained. The vote by which it was carried was 275 to 273."

We take great pleasure m announcing that our new General Secretary, Mr. S. D. Fuller, will assume the editorial work of the Y. M. C. A. department of Tiik Friknd after this issue. According to a provision of our Constitution, an appointment of editor is made once in each three months. At our last monthly meeting, Mr. Fuller was appointed for the coming three months. We rejoice in this appointment, as it will give to the many on the other islands who are interested in our work some acquaintance with our new Secretary. A RECENT OCCURRENCE. Recently a young man in this city made sarcastic comments and insinuations to one of our members upon the work of the Y. M. C. A. Our brother turned upon him and gave him something to think about. He quoted from Mr. McCoy, who so recently told us of the many Instances where non-Christian business men of San Francisco, in seeking for employees whom they could trust for faithfulness and integrity, went to the Employment Committee of the Y. M. C. A. and asked for Christian men. finally, as our brother *was*closing * And his remarks to the sarcastic young man, he forcibly said, The business men of the United States, and of Europe—yes, and of all the world—are beginning to look more and more to men of genuine, solid, moral worth or character to do their business." Right here we thank our brother for this noble defense of the Y. M. C. A. What he said reminds us of what President Fairchild, of Oberlin College, told us in his visit here last summer. He spoke of the great oil company, whose head quarters are at Cleveland, Ohio, and who were in need of a cashier ; and in these days of defaulting book-keepers and cashiers, where could they find the man whom they could trust ? They were willing to pay a very high salary for a man of responsible character. The duties required were only .such as any man of ordinary business capacity could well do ; but, above all things, their man must be one of character. In this great world of uncertainty, they must have the one certainty of character if it could be obtained. The large compensation was not for ability, but for character. It almost seemed as though they were after character as an article of commercial or monied value, like an article for sale and purchase. Finally, they found their man in a poor drug clerk, who had proved his faithfulness for years in a drug store at Cleveland. They can well afford to pay the arge salary for the feeling of security " which they have sought and found. But door employee, who has charge of the again take an instance nearer home. horses and drays, and when the first Three years or so ago, when one of our younger Y. M. C. A. members was about to enter the employ of one of the large businesses houses of Honolulu, his father asked "What will be his work?" and the answer was, The duties are simple ; your boy will be told to do only one thing at a time until he lias learned the routine ; and all that we ask of him is that he ho faithful." Yes, our brother was right; it is character that is wanted, and it is for this that the Y. M. C. A. is established in Honolulu. Would that all young men here could appreciate it, and help make it for themselves. " OUR NOON-DAY MEETINGS. We would like to Advertise the fact that we have a half hour noon-day prayer meeting every day of the week, commencing at twenty-five minutes past 12 o'clock, and closing promptly at five minutes to 1. We would like a larger attendance. To friends on the other islands we extend the invitation as you come to Honolulu, just drop in for a few minutes and see what sort of a meeting wo have. To the friends of Honolulu, who do not now come in, please give us the encouragement of your presence. If you cannot come all the time, come occasionally. Never mind fixing up, for this is a meeting where we drop in just as we are ; and to ladies in particular we would extend a most hearty invitation. Why, a lady who heard us trying to sing without an instrument, and without any billy's voice to help, said, "It did sound dismal enough," and she expressed it in a tone of great commiseration and sympathy for us. Thanks. Now, ladies, since we have thus publicly made known your appreciation of our attempts at singing alone, there is no other way for you to do than to come and help us. Please rememlier how dismal we are without you, and don't fail to come. " " THE FIRES. The conduct of a certain out-door employee of one of our business houses during the recent fires seems suggestive and worthy of mention. There have been, perhaps, four or five fires in the business part of Honolulu within eleven or twelve months. In each case this man has been found on the premises of his employers, out in the back yard, with the hose attached to the water-tap, and playing water upon the sparks as they fell on the wooden warehouse, or in the yard. Also his horses were harnessed and made ready for any emeigency. And in the case of the late fire—the old Enterprise Mill— he thought best to take certain combustible articles from the warehouse and carry them to the house of his employer. We understand that this young man was not hired as a night watchman, or anything of the kind; he is simply an out- stroke of lire alarm was heard he sprang to look out for his employers' interests. Is there not, in this young man, a prac- tical illustration of faithfulness which it would be well for all of the clerks and other employees of Honolulu to imitate ? We are glad to add that this young man lias recently been admitted as an associate member of our association. ITEMS FROM MONTHLY REPORTS. There have been twenty-seven halfhour noon-day prayer meetings; total attendance at the same, 374; average attendance, 14; largest number present, 27 ; smallest, 8. There have been four gospel temperance services on the Saturday evenings of the month, at which the average attendance has been 28. One or two instances of special encouragement were named. The number of Sunday evening services is four; total attendance, 177; largest number •present, 61 ; smallest, 32 ; average, 44. Only one public preaching service, at which there was an attendance of 67. Pastor Crusan preached June 7, by special request, upon "The Uncrowned King." The Rible class attendance Sunday mornings, held in our parlors at 9:45, report an average attendance of 10. The hospitals and prisons have been visited. A Sunday morning service is held at the prison at i) o'clock. There have been between 1,100 and 1,200 in attendance during the month at the Y. M. C. A. Reading Room. 100 papers were given away. The Financial Committee reported $1,553 pledged for the current expenses of the year. And full $700 more will be needed before the ordinary requirements will be met. The attendance upon our monthly business meetings is increasing. There were seven new members admitted to the association, of which two become voting members, and five associate members. During the month of June the Association received and accepted invitations from each of the two Sabbath Schools— the Fort Street and the Bethel Union to attend their picnics. The first was given June 11, at Punahou ; the second June 20, at Waikiki. For these kind attentions the Association publicly made acknowledgement by a vote of thanks at the monthly meeting June 18. On the evening of the 25th instant occurred the first of a series of monthly entertainments and sociables, planned and promised by the Etertainment Committee. After readings, and a short address, by the General Secretary, came the usual refreshments of ice cream and cake. — �10 THE FRIEN D. HAWAIIAN BOARD iionomm.u, iv I.

This annual convocation of the Hawaiian churches which have grown out of the labors of the former American missionaries, in its review of the work of the past year, and its planning of work for the coining year, furnishes an invaluable stimulus to the growth of Hawaiian Christianity and civilization.

Of the total amount contributed for missionary purposes from the Hawaiian Islands, there was received : From native Hawaiian churches and donors, $8,659.461 from Gilbert Islanders anil Chinese, 148.80 { from foreign churches anil donors, 82,071.96 ; total, $0,777.21. A LIBERAL AND TIMELY GIFT. The following letter explains itself. Our missionary brethren in Japan have the earnest thanks of the Christian workers in Hawaii for their timely gift : Kom:, Japan, April in, 1855. Japanese laborers have recently gone to the Hawaiian Flands on contracts covering several years ; and, Whereas, This is, in all probability, the beginning of a continued immigration that will from year to year take many of the inhabitants of this land to a country where the institutions of Christian civilisation have been planted, ami where new Influences strongly tending to loosen the hold upon their minds of the heathen religions and superstitions under which they have lived in Japan, will surround them, fissofesd, That we express to the Churches of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association the deep interest with which we watch the remarkable providences which are carrying so many of the suns of Japan to their shores, ami the special pleasure with which we hoar of the welcome given them by the Y.

To bear witness to Christ—to declare His name—to proclaim His salvation to all people. To this great office our risen Ford called the twelve, and with them the whole church of His chosen followers. The true Christian knows something of Jesus, even if only a little. Knowing that, he at once becomes a competent witness of so intieh, and he is to testify to it. "Ye are my witnesses," .said the Ford to Israel through Isaiah. Paul told the Thessaloiiian converts of his joy, because from you sounded out the word of the Lord, not only in Macedonia anil Achats, but also in every place your faith toward Cod Is spread abroad, so that we " need not to speak anything." The churches of Hawaii uel tire enlightened churches. They possess in great fulness ami clearness the (Jospel of salvation. The name, the character, tho work of the Savior is very familiar to them. For generations they have held in their hands the Holy Scriptures, in many editions. From childhood, Hawaiian christians have enjoyed Sabbath school instruction. Religious newspapers and publications of all kinds have long abounded. Powerful and fruitful revivals of religion have repeatedly prevailed. Where can Christ look for witnesses if not here '! Especially is this true of the foreign Protestant churches of this land. It would be hard to find any churches in the world more richly favored with religious opportunities. 1 believe that one will have to search far for a more powerful religious atmosphere, or more that tends to spiritual edification, than in our foreign churches of Honolulu. Truly we can bear witness to exceeding comfort from the Word of God, and great riches in �July, 1885. the Lord Jesus. We can testify to a wonderful power in His salvation, and to inestimable treasures of heavenly wisdom which we have found in Him, in whom "are hid all treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Are we thus richly endowed ? Is our state as christian believers so high and so favored f Then Is laid upon us the corresponding office of being in like degree, witnesses for our Lord. The toiling Jesus of Nazareth did not endow His favored twelve with all that wealth of intercourse with himself, mainly for their own edification. He gavethem so much of Heaven's treasures, that they might make the world rich, mid bring mankind to know Him whom they knew. And Christ has made ns here so rich in Divine knowledge, not mainly that we may be superior christians in culture and personal experience, but that we may be fitted to efficiently testify and make known the great power ol His salvation to ignorant and sinful men around us. With the gift conies the duty—with the great endowment, the weighty responsibility. Why has the Lord planted His church here in this central city of the Pacific, and so grandly endowed it with spiritual tfifts '.' Is it for any other end than this, that we shall tell all souls we can reach, of Him, testifying busily, persistently, joyfully ? As if to more clearly manifest that this is the will of the Ford concerning us, He has brought to our doors those to whom we may bear witness, and make known our dear Redeemer. A multitude of strangers of many races have landed here, who are mainly ignorant of our Lord. By thousands and ten thousands they have poured in, and still are coming, and their questioning eyes look on the , steeples of our churches, and the songs ring out from our aisles on their wondering ears, and they would fain know whom we adore, and In what Ford of power and life we trust. Our witness is waited for by tens of thousands of ignorant minds, if not of receptive and opening hearts. Are we all ready, till eager to make Him known '.' Do our inward eyes so clearly behold the King of salvation, do our hearts so pulsate with His love, that we are full and ready to tell of His graceami glory to these yet untaught. What an immense change has come over the population of these islands in a few years. What new conditions we are in, and what new and honorable duties are laid upon the churches of Not long since this was a Christ. heathen land, and foreign mission ground. The foundations of our present wealth of Christian privilege were laid by those who began to make the Savior known here only sixty-five years ago. Here and there an aged Hawaiian lingers among us who tells how in his youth the teachers came and told them fo Jesus, as they were living in slavery and debauchery, and horrible fears of their malignant gods; and how chiefs and people early and heartily accepted the good news, and gave Christ their ' 11 THE F RIEND. allegiance ; and how by the Redeemer's with us, and a grand heritage to keep. light and love the dark anil suffering Christian brothers and sisters, we fall people were lifted out of slavery and heirs to them of the noblest and richest disorder, and set upon this high plat- Inheritance.

It is the speaker's privilege vividly to extending the conquest of Christ over recall the childhood scenes of fifty years these shores. They were, under Christ, ago, when the Church of Christ here was but young; when the great thrones of worshippers were almost fresh from the reeking heiaus and the cruel kaput; when there were still grey heads who saw Cook slain, and fought in Kamohameha's battles of conquest! and these old priests ami warriors, still half-clad, Were bending their bronze limbs in great gladness in worship of the Cod and Father of our Ford Jesus Christ. What throngs then crowded the mats in that long grass church where now stand the massive coral walls of Kawaiahao, and there with their stately ami dreaded chiefs listened patiently to their teachers' discourses, ami sung the old hymns. Those old fathers were then in their prime and vigor, who had come to proclaim the kingdom of the Redeemer in great toil and many privations. These strong and zealous men are passed away ; almost all are gone. Of that large and enthusiastic bin d who used to gather every June of liily years ago in that old Chapel at Kawai ihao, and stir up one another's hearts In hope and zeal as they reported.and planned their work, and whose communing! were so kindling and Inspiring to their children, but four of the fathers still survive among their descendants. Their steps are feeble, and their forms bowed, and they patiently wait for the sweet summons that must soon call them to join the blest throng of the glorified. Of that earlier veteran band, two most beloved and regretted fathers have departed from us this year, both in great ripeness of piety and joy of faith. The faithful David lioldon Fyinan hail given his long years with most affectionate skill and power to the training of Hawaiian boys. A multitude of his worthy pupils rise up and call him blessed. The other was the venerated William Pattimiii Alexander, whose more varied labors made him prominent in work and counsel. To these we affectionately add the name of Mrs. Abba W. Smith, a veteran toiler of the same early days. We all knew her, how richly her heart and activities went forth to old and young, and made her a chief leader in every good work to her latest day. Several other veteran missionary fathers and mothers Of a little later service still remain for our comfort and joy. One of these known world-wide as the ''Father Damon of seamen, has lately left us— and where shall we find one of such sympathetic joy in the Lord's cause, or one who can witli such enthusiasm or fulness of knowledge recount to us "God's work in the Pacific?" These fathers and mothers whom the late years have borne so fast from our sight have left a radiant memory to abide " the founders and builders of the Lord's house here—and their work stands. It isstrong. This good land, with all of darkness and sin that abound, is filled with the radiant presence of'many who nre strong witnesses for the Ford Jesus in the spirit of the fthort and these are men and women of many races and tongues. There are many souls growing towards maturity in divine knowledge, who give promise of noble testimony for the Lord Jesus. Tho work of the fathers stands, we say ; and we feel assured it is to stand, and to increase more and more. We believe the Ford means yet greater things for His Church in Hawaii. Adverse influences may abound in new and varied forms. Foreign immigration may seem to be overwhelming. It may seem wholly to overtask our resources to evangelize and bring it under the redeeming Influence of theGospel. Hut let us know our power. We have the King of Salvation on our sitle. We march under the banner of the Cross; the inspiring power of the Holy Ghost is ours to convert our weakness into a resistless might. The work of tho fathers is still our work. Their message is our message, as it was the message of the apostles of old —that Wortl of Fife which we preach. The old story of Hetblehemand Calvary ; of the man of Nazareth andOothsemane; of the dying and the risen Redeemer; of the atoning, the glorified, tho interceding Ford our Righteousness. Tho same is still our message and story. What the fathers relied on as the one great fountain of healing for the miseries of debased men we also bold to be the one remedy. What they confidently applied to lift a degraded race out of animalism and slavery, and build them into a free and happy psople, we also depend on to maintain the civilization and freedom which they founded so grandly and successfully. That only power on which they relied to uplift fallen inanhixid, and on which we depend for all present and future hope of social good and worthy life in this land, Jesus in the is the power of the souls of men. It is LJis supernal grace in weak and wicked human hearts transforming them. It is His all-quickening life, who is the Bread of Life, transfused into fallen, dying, human lives, with resurrection power. It is the testimony of Jesus, administered by His feeble, but divinely strengthened human witnesses, ever by life and doctrine urging righteousness on all souls in the land, and, by the living power of holiness, making sin to cower disreputable, and clean, merciful, just-living to be honored. �12 It Is the Man from Heaven bringing the powers of the eternal world to bear upon human hearts. He witnesses, and His people witness for Him, of a higher sphere and an eternal condition, in whose stately presence all the pomp of earth Wilts, and its glories fade. Ry this it is given the Lord's witnesses to summon besotted souls to raise their eyes from the clods and the stubble and reach up towards celestial ends, to inspire forlorn and bedraggled spirits with heavenly hopes and divine ambitions. And crowning all in power to move, and strength to uphold stumbling, helpless souls, is the ineffable personal love of the Cod-man whose feet were bathed with the penitent's tears—who gives His own peace to the restless, and His own yoke of strength to the heavyladen, and is Himself tho bread of life to the starving. Armed with this gospel of grace, the fathers came here sixtyfive years ago, full ol this faith, certain that Christ, who had illumined and rejoiced their own souls, could also give life to the dark and dying Hawaiians, and that none other could. The Lord favored their work. He had much people here. Chiefs and subjects heard the Oospel gladly. The Holy Spirit was mightily poured out. In twenty-five years there stood here a Christian nation in political freedom ami firm civil order, with free schools, churches, Hibles, their nudity covered, and pressing onwards towards a full civilization. This work stands. It goes on. The generations have marched forward. Those who renounced paganism for the blessed light of Jesus are nearly all passed away, and their descendants share the land with others. It is more than ever a ( hristian land. Never, perhaps, was there more of active and earnest faith than now, though outward conditions are so much changed, and evil forces are ever trying new aggressions. And now, with all this wealth of Christian power, we are not left to rest and have peace. We are called to fresh enterprises and conflicts. We may rejoice in a rare and peculiar opportunity for bearing testimony for the Lord Jesus, and making known His grace tea multitude ol souls most precious in His sight. He lias especially honored and exalted His churches here by sending a grand evangelizing work to our very doors. What so honorable as to be the messengers of the King of Peace ? What so delightful as the errand of "jjood tidings of great .joy?" And this it seems as if the Lord would call us till to be. We have not to cross weary seas to remote shores to find those we may evangelize. They have come to us; here they are in our streets—the thous ands of Japan, the 20,000 of China, and many others who know nothing, or but little, of our glorious Savior. Our great work of evangelization is right here, around our homes. Where was ever a Christian church so clearly, so nobly summoned to grand testimony for its Lord ?

The wildest statements have been made in regard to old heathen rites being practised there, and many true friends of the llawaiians have been greatly distresseti thereby.

There is a passion in the human heart for a wide and extended view—a view that will take in the stars above, the landscape at one's feet, and the sea. From the hill-tops of observation and study we will see and know what will never come to us on the plain. We occasionally meet people who do not appear interested in the work of Foreign Missions, and who seem surprised at the earnestness and enthusiasm of those who regard this department of Christian endeavor as lirst and supreme. Joseph Parker, of London, says, "As wonder is a sign of ignorance, so unbelief anil indifference are signs of inThe unlettered man is completeness. amazed at language which to the learned man is perfectly simple. The man of diminutive faith is astounded at the miracles of Jesus Christ, while the man of large faith accepts them with com- posure." This is true. Thought is limited by So lire enthusiasm and knowledge. effort. As knowledge increases, the range of vision is expanded. With a higher standpoint come grander con- ceptions. On the mount Moses communed with God, and his face shone. The plain must be exchanged for the hill-top. The lowest life in religion is the purely selfish standpoint. No man should live only to himself, lie is a member of a community, of a land, of the world. Of one blood has God made all nations that dwell on the earth. F very day the man of business looks over the whole world. This should we do, that we may learn what God is doing in all lands. Do we understand the heights of opportunity on which God has placed us, and the possibilities before us ? It is said of Michael Angelo that he selected the material himself, and did not allow another hand to touch the block. So has God himself selected and called us, and it has pleased Him to put us in the foremost ranks to hasten the coming of the blessed day to which the Church, in all ages, has looked forward with prayer and hope. In this work, to what does duty direct ? To train your sons and daughters to love the missionary work. They should be made to feel that the grandest purpose of life to which they can consecrate themselves is to work in foreign fields. �Volume 43, No. 7 THE FRIEND. 14 I was iKith surprised and sad, when the Morning Star left, that not one of Honolulu's sons or daughters volunteered to go to the waiting and ready fields of Micronesia. For we live on sacred soil. To these islands the missionaries came ; here they have- toiled, and thousands have been converted to Christ. Ts it not reasonable then to expect, that from this field of missionary effort and success young men and women, following in the footsteps of those whose names they bear, should be ready and eager to go as messengers from the Great King, to carry the tidings of salvation through Jesus to the Ignorant and destitute in other parts of the earth '! The offerings of your gold and silver cannot but be acceptable to the Ford, for through these means the work is to be carried on. But Jesus, who in love gave Himself as a snerifice for us, has higher claims. He asks you to say, in a spirit of thorough consecration, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me do? Not only my gifts of money do 1 offer Thee, but if son and daughter be needed for the work, then take what is Thine." Such a claim the Master has. He is, moreover, entitled to the healthiest, strongest, and brightest of the family. I have, in my own land, seen Christian daughters giving themselves joyfully to this work for Jesus' sake—leaving happy homes behind—to lalxir for Jesus in Siam and Laos, and other lands. There is no sphere of effort that can be compared to this. It is employment which angels might envy. Grid and the heavenly hosts are intensely interested in its progress. As this work of Foreign Missions is the grandest and best of the day, its nature and aim should bo taught at home. Childhood and youth should become as familiar with it as with air and sunshine. It should color and permease all Sunday School instruction. No educator should attempt to teach geography except in intimate connection with the mission enterprises of the past and the present. Only thus can it be profitably and successfully taught. The lands of earth are of interest only as they are identified with the progressive march of the kingdom and interests of Jesus. The island world of the vast Pacific used formerly to be spoken of under the general name of Oceana, or Polynesia; but now we read of Micronesia, Melanesia, and Malaysia, thus showing how largely geographical science is indebted to missionary enterprise. No course of education should be deemed complete or satisfactory without a thorough knowledge of the missionary work in all lands. To-day there is hardly a city in America that has not one or more ladies' societies for the furtherance of the Foreign Mission work. And the brightest, best-informed, and most thoroughly devoted of the women in the churches of the States are identified With this cause. A portion of their time, their shining abilities, and fervent prayers are sacredly set apart to this • work, and they are giving additional hold forth the Word of life as beacons momentum to it from year to year. planted on a hill, or on the shore of some Lovers of missions make themselves dangerous sea V familiar not only with the religion of Boom years since, a man fell over every land, but investigate as well its Niagara and was caught on an extended climate, politics, commerce, habits of the rock.

Ford Macaulay tells us that in an F'nglish cathedral there is an exquisite stained window which was made by an apprentice out of the pieces of glass which had been rejected by his master, and it was so far superior to every other in the church that, according to tradition, the envious artist killed himself with vexation. So was the Christ by the builders refused, but God has made Him to be the headstone of the corner. The Scriptures speak in glowing language of the expansiveness of the divine Word, its perfect adaptation to the wants of every clime, and its eventual promulgation to a wilier range than humanity has ever beheld, and the eyes of men are to lie gladdened by the full-grown orb of truth. The inspired records teach, and the Founder of our religion lias promised that the cause of which He is the acknowledged leader shall not fail of ultimate triumph. And though the work that is being done among the millions of earth nitty to some appear "like the track of an insect on the ocean's shore," or like the breath of an infant in the tornado's blast," we who love this cause and watch its progress, know what grettt things (Jod Is doing, and we have this sure word of promise, that the light shall dispel the darkness; truth vanquish error; holiness subvert wrong ; peace annihilate war; blighted regions shall experience the vivifying touch and teem afresh with life ; on what is now a waste and barren desert, flowers of paradise may be expected to grow; the kingdom of our God shall be established in every land, and all flesh shall see His salvation ; corruption shall pass into incorruption and the mortal be replaced by immortality, while angels and men shall join in one wide-spread chorus, loud as the sound of many waters, Hallelujah, hallelujah ; the Lord (Jod Omnipotent reigneth ! Shall we do our part and strive for the spread of the religion of Jesus—a religion that is to be succeeded by no other ? Shall we help to build up the spiritual temple that is ascending among the nations ?. Shall we be here a center of illumination to the world? Shall we " " " a thousand dollars to anyone that would save the poor fellow from his terrible fate. Soon the man was seen to staler, and then he went whirling into the torrents beneath. A cry of horror went up from the assembled thousands. Ladies fainted, and strong men wept. Hut this was only the loss of one life, and that a temporal one. My friends, shall we not put forth greater efforts to save the souls of men, and send the light of the Gospel into the darkest corners of the earth ? We occupy in this island world of the Pacific a vantage ground as to vision. What we need is an awakened sense of duty and of golden opportunity, and corresponding activity. While speaking on this theme, I mentioning, that this year a son and a daughter of the late President of the Woman's Hoard of the Hacitic* have contributed the sum of $600 toward this work in memory of their mother's relation to, and life-long interest in this cause. I mention this, that others may be induced likewise to guard the deposit of the Lord and put it to usury, instead of entombing it in the earth. A few years ago, in a town of Illinois, a physician lost his wife. The spirit that bad animated this lady was, in some degree, that of her Master who "had compassion on the multitude." She was one of those women whose motto is, "The world for Christ." She had loved the Foreign Mission movement intensely, and followed its progress with prayer and hope, if you should walk through the Cods-acre there you might see many a costly shaft ; but this man preferred to honor the memory of his wife in a different way. A plain monument marks her resting-place. Knowing, and appreciating, that the cause of Foreign Missions had been precious and sacred to her in life, he soon sent a liberal gift to the Woman's Board of the Northwest, and has several times since repeated it, in memory of the departed. Referring to this ease, Mrs. Hoge, the President, said to the ladies of the Board, "I ask for nothing better of my husband and children than that after my decease my memory may be likewise kept f-agrant. I desire no costly, cold, crumbling marble ; but that they shall support and strengthen the cause of missions, that when I am dead I may yet speak, through the missionary, the Bible and the tract in heathen lands." cannot refrain from * Mrs. Abigail WiUia Smith. �The Hawaiian Evangelical Association will recommend to the Hawaiian Board that six additional missionaries shall be sent out this year. I can think of no measure that will be so reviving and helpful to our own churches as this. It will kindle anew within us the spirit of missions. It is our great work, our high calling. Freely ye have received the grace of God ; now freely give. Six more missionaries to go ! Who will they be f Are these six all to be llawaiians ? Are they alone to fill the honorable places in the kingdom of Jesus, and to receive corresponding rewards ? At the social gathering in this church, last Thursday evening, the Rev. George Leleo stilted his determination to have his two children trained to become missionaries. Is it possible that this blind man has spiritually a higher standpoint and a wider range of vision than others ? A brother minister in the States wrote to me a few weeks ago that he was bringing up his five boys to become preachers of the Gospel, whether at home or abroad. He knew not whether his hopes would be realized ; but of this he constantly spoke to them its the best and highest fulfilment of life. Standing here to-night in the providence of God, and with this resolution of the Hawaiian Association fresh before us, I repeat the question, "Shall these six all be llaAddressing myself to the waiians ? young people, I ask : Will you give yourselves to this work ? Though Micronesia is more particularly the field of our alms and operations, yet we are not confined to those islands. You may go and lift the torch of redemption above the paganism of China, or carry the story of salvation to the sunny isles of Japan; you may follow the steps of tho Scudders Into India, those of Livingstone and Stanley into Africa, and direct the benighted to Jesus, the Light of the world. 1 do not think the purpose of life is fulfilled if we have obtained an education and possess the required accomplishments to move in society. The Master, and the Church of (Jod at large, look for higher things than these. Yes, the Christian Church may reasonably expect that many a son and daughter born and reared in this missionary atmosphere, and umid missionary influences, shall hear the call of Jesus and go to lift up the standard of the Cross in every land. And I should esteem it an honor, and feel thankful to God and to my brethren of the Hawaiian Board, who have accorded me the privilege to plead this cause to-night, if 1 could be instrumental to kindle, even in but one heart, the longing and the determination to carry to those who have not the Gospel the message of God's love—a love brighter than the morning sun, fairer than the evening star, sweeter than the blossoms in a summer field, clearer than the air that fills the earth—and tell them that there is a Savior, which is Christ the Lord j that there is rest for the " 15 THE FRIEND.

This De- . partment will be edited by Pkof W. B. Oeesox, Principal of the Boy's School, Ililo, 11. J. PROFESSION AND PRACTICE. In a recent number of the- Observer, Jiriiaeus devotes a column to the career of David M. Stone, Editor of the A. Y. Journal of Commerce. After sketching the editor's young life1* and his remarkable fidelity to business through nearly two score years, Dr. Prime says : Mr. Stone resides in Brooklyn, and is a raomber of the Congregational Church of which Dr. Behrends is now and Dr. Scudder was the past ir. His devotion to religious work is In harmony with his diligence in business, and his example is as commendable in the church as in the world. Dr. Scudder preached more than one thousand sermons during tho eleven years of nis pastorate in Brooklyn, of which Mr. Stone heard all but three, and then ho was h tiding a service of his own else, where. For this indefatigable man is a diligent student of the Hililu, an i gives lectures on it. expounding book after book of the Holy Scriptures, going through the life of Christ, the Book of Revelation, etc., to the great editioKtion of the people. Dr. Dehrends has been settled in Brooklyn heard for just two years, and Mr. Stone hasalways every sermon that he has preached, and is meeting ready the and weekly prayer on hand at to assist if desired. This is indeed a case of exceptional faithfulness to sacred relations. We make this record available to transfer a few thoughts, which we have been carrying for some time, to the columns of The Friend. It is not our plan to exhort to diligence in business. Of this we think there is enough. We have no fault to find with it. The family and the causes of education, philanthropy and religion must be sustained. What we contemplate, is to exhort to greater fidelity in church relations. Our words, as the reader will perceive, are more particularly directed to church members. One of the things which often has puzzled us has been the absence from church on Sunday, when there was no absence from the store or the office on Saturday or Monday. We do not question that the Sunday case of absence was caused by some ailment. But it is a somewhat strange phenomenon, that the ailment should come just on Sunday and come so often on Sunday. "Hut," it is said, "business must be attended to." So it must. What the Ajiostle enjoins is however equally binding: "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselvs together, as the manner of some is." It is clear from Mr. Stone's record, that he attends to his religious duties with the same conscientious fidelity which he observes to his Journal of Commerce relations. We may in this connect inn suggest, that in attending lioth morning and evening services, there remains the entire afternoon for rest. There are church members who do not seem to have the sense of obligation which the rd Uion imposes. To be ii member of a church and have one's name on the roll is a sacred relation and a BOtomn responsibility. Fidelity, manifested in regular attendance at the meetings, will rotlect honor not only on the one thus faithful, hut on the whole church of which th.it one is a member, while keejMiig aloof from the church and showing Indifference to its work and growth, the name however remaining on the membership list, will reflect dishonor not only on thai one member but on the entire body. We here have reference to persons who are regularly absent from the services of the church to which they belong. This absence is caused by reasons, which we will not now stop to record. Of course we have not in mind the aged or any others who would attend if they could. But we refer to those who can and ought to, but who do not frequent the house of God. And we do not hesitate to say, that if these persons should come to die, the condition of things being as we have stated it, it would be a matter of painful embarrassment to officiate at their obsequies. Such a thing however litis happened. And tra may Imagine an exchange of questions and answers carried on by A and B, consistent christians, with reference to the departed, somewhat of this nature : A. Was he (or she) a church member •> B. Yes. A. To which church did he (or she) belong ? B. To our church. A. But I never saw him (or her) there ? B. No; he (or she) was not in the habit of attending. A. But you are sure that he (or she) was a member ? B. Yes, for I remember that sometime ago, looking into the church man- 3 THE FRIEND. Number 6. ual, I saw his (or her) name in the membership list. We turn from the shadow to the sunshine. We have before us a body of men and women in this community of the same spirit with David M. Stone. They have before them the same high ideal of sincere and consecrated effort. They have put their hands to the plough and are determined not to look back. They are on the way to Zion with their faces thitherward. Their presence is familiar to us, for they ever greet us on Sunday; their voices we hear at the prayer-meeting and we meet them in united work for the Master. They are never weary in well-doing. Were any of them to tako up their residence elsewhere they would at once transfer their church relations and in a short time make their influence felt in every good work. For such men and women we thank God. They are not afraid of the battle, for << far down the future they hear the smiting of victorious shields and tho shoutings of a great multitude." Their eyes sparkle and their faces glow with the enthusiasm of earnest endeavor. Their motto is onward and upward,' and it will come about that the eternal gates will open and (hey shall he lifted into the skies. PURE BEER AND WINES. It is too bad ! Whenever the organs of the drink-curse wish to completely annihilate "temperance fanatics" they triumphantly bring forward their beer argument : Beer is pure, healthy, unintoxicating, and, could it be brought into general use would alxilish the consumption of stronger liquors"—four simonpure, unadulterated falsehoods compressed into a single sentence! But now comes a circular, so says the San Francisco dhronioh', published in the interest of the hop-growers, which not only states, but proves its statement, that the brewers have largely abandoned the use of hops in making beer, and have substituted a villainous compound of poisonous drugs, simply because the drugs are cheaper than hops! And what remedy does the wise Chronicle propose? Why that beer be abandoned, anil that pure(?) California wine be substituted. But who will guarantee the purity of California wine ? Who will stand guard over the guileless California Granger, and the immaculate San Francisco wholesaler, and the spotless and incorruptible Honolulu importer, and tho money-making retailer ? O wise temperance reformer, your bottle of pure California wine is too strong a draft on our little faith in the honesty of moneyloving liquor dealers I And there comes to -us from an unexpected quarter strong evidence of the falsity of the oft-repeated claim that the ••>general use of beer and wine would abolish the consumption of stronger ' " �T.HE FRIEND. 4 THE LAND OF LANDS.

One of the noted papers read before it wits by Dr. Karl Stark/, on"The Fight against Drunkenness." We quote from an article reviewing this paper, by Rev. E. D. Eaton, jiuhlished in The Advance: On the basis of the Internal Revenue returns the Empire, and statistics of German pliysiuinns mid other scientific investigators, the author prooeeds to Uy before his German audience the aptailing facts as to the extent and consequences of iijnor drinking in tlieir country. The Gorman government statistics place the annual consumption of ardent spirits, brandy and the like, at ten quarts per capita for the entire population, which. Dr. Stark remarks, is manifestly far too low an estimate ; but even this is three times as BMSI as the amount consumed in Norway, nearly three tiims what is consumed in France (although Dr. Stark says that the Qamaana pharisaically despise the French for their addiction to strong drink, and attribute in part to this their degeneration and lifeat in war), more than twice the brandy con sumption of Austria, nearly twice that of Great Britain, and nenrlif ttrire the total titnannt of urdtol drank in tile I'triterl Strife*. 11l ISSI-'L', the K/iiril.i outlay for brandies in Prussia amounted to the immense sum of 2iU,O'IU m irks, while thedirect tans of the states were but IfiO.IXjO marks. Besides this, there is of course an enormous oonaiiiii|itioii of beer, aggregating in Thuriugii 124 quarts annually iter capita', in Saxony 1211 quarts; in Wurtemberg ISO quarts; in Bavaria 233 quarts. In some districts the br.unties are actually displacing the lighter drinks, as in Als ice and Lorraine, where in IH7O, six times as much wine as brandy was sold, but io IS7SI I he sale of brandy a as almost equal to that of wine. Director Stark estimates that there tiro in Germany to-day botweeu 300.H00 and 400,001) drunkards—not n.oderate drinkers, mind you, but continued drunkards [Snnt'er). The results of all this are not other than wu ahould expect, in the hospitals of Prussia alone 3,101) peraoiis suffering from the use of of alcoholic liquors are tre.Hed ; in the insane asylum are K)7 mad from this cause ; 1,174 die annually of elirum tremens; fil)8 suicides resulting from drink, and l!ll tat il accidents fiom thes line cmso, must be added to this list of yearly victims of drink in Prussia alone. The numberof persons tit for military duty sinks perceptibly in those districts where ardent spirits are most largely consumed. It is'stated as the result of the investigations of Haer, that of grave crimes in Germany against person and life, U3 per cent to 77 per oeut are committed when in a condil ion of drunkenness. When persons beoome so poor that they must be aided by the state, as high as SO to'JO percentof the cases are found to bo due to iuteiuperance. In a nue provinces the number of saloons stands in almost direct ratio to the number of inaauo ia the census. In Prussia it haa been established that illiteracy and poverty prevail where there is the most drinking, and that is true not alone of Prussia. One-fourth of all thee ises of insanity, as high as 1G per cent of the suicidas, nearly th:ee fouita* of all the grave crimes, are attributable to drunkenness. f Bone WORKI CATHNURDE NGMEN.

On Sunday morning, May 3rd, the services were conducted by J. A. Cruzan, pastor of Fort St. Church, who gave the people un excellent sermon. On Sunday the 24th, the ltev. Harvey 8. Jordan occupied the puljdt in the morning, llro. Jordan preached an able discourse from Romans H: ,'i, 4, on the impossibility of being saved by the law and our consequent need of Christ as a Savior. In the evening the pastor preached a sermon in conmioiiioralion of those who fell in the war between the North and the South. The attendance at the Sunday School has been very good in May. There has been an addition to the Library of al>out 150 volumes. A donation of i)5books has been made to a Sunday School on another island. The officers and teachers of the Sunday School have been invited to meet on Tuesday evening, the ilth inst., at the residence of Mr. J. O. Carter, on Nuuanu Avenue. The Sunday School picnic will take place on Saturday, the 20th inst, at the seaside residence of Mr. S. M. Damon, Waikiki. The children's quarterly concert will be held on the 28th inst., in the morning instead of the evening as heretofore. The series of evening sermons on the Lord's Prayer will be continued this month. The following subjects are announced for the Wednesday evening meetings : 3rd—Monthly Concert, subject, Syria. 10th—The conditions of prevailing prayer. John 9:111. 17th—The relation of belief to practice. James 2:22. 24th—The temptation and triumph of the Second Man. Matt. 4:1—11. FORT-S.CHURCH. It was a pleasant suprise to the congregation on Sunday morning, May 3rd, to find Rev. E. C. Oggel of the Bethel Union Church in the pulpit, on exchange with the pastor. The sermon was helpful and stimulating. The series of Sunday Evening Lectures to Young Men were concluded May 17th; the attendance of the class for whom they were prepared has been gratifying. Sunday evening May 24th, it was a pleasure to extend the hospitalities of the Church to Geo. W. Dc Long Post, and their finely-drilled and noble-looking escort the Honolulu Rifles. The music on that occasion was especially fine. Mr. Turner's rendering of his solo in Biiumbach's Te Deum, and the quartette "Rest, Soldier, Rest," and the duet by Mrs. 1 lan ford and Mrs. Brown, were all exquisitely rendered.

At a recent meeting of the Boston Congregational Club, Itev. .Mr. Moynton read a blight paper on The Pew. Among other good things, The Congregational is/ reports him as saying : "It is not so unusual a thing for the pulpit to address the pew upon its shortcomings. It is, however, ordinarily un- dertaken under certain limitations which are wanting here. The |>ulj)it is said sometimes to be unduly cautious because of Its dependence on the pews. If it opens its mouth too widely in public, that useful receptacle may not be sufficiently well filled in private. the advantage, too, that, " Youin have each church there is but one Whtye pttll>it, there are many pews. When you hear of the virtues of the pew, therefore, you will all doubtless say, as you are accustomed to do on Sundays, That's No. 41), where my wife's children sit with their father.' And when I suggest a failure, 'That's No. 48 or oil, where the other man sits, lie ought to hear it.' "The question is a.s to the relation of the pew to the pulpit I remember some years ago to have addressed a circular-letter to theabsent members of the church of which I was the pastor, Inquiring among other things, What church are you regularly attending, and what tire your relations to that church ? To which one good sister made answer that she was attending a Presbyterian church, but her relations were mostly Methodists. The term is not used here precisely in that sense, though it is pi wallill.) that some Congregational pews have their relation quite as much .Methodist as any- • thing else. my brethren, not the Sunday jinpors. And that man—it must be Unit he sits in No. 4.5, next pew to yours—who spends bis morning boar up to the ringing of the church bell over his Sunday Herald, or (i/o/ie, is not content with the dampness that the week's dews have left upon them, but deliberately soaks his kindlings before he brings them to the sacred fire—and it's harder to kindle than Klijah't- altar was on ('annol, for that wtis soaked at least with good pare water. But, most of all, because it includes all the rest, the pulpit needs a prayerful bearing In the pew. << Hut the pew is also a place for hospitality. Let him that heareth say come I —not him that speelteth. When the other servants go out into the highways and hedges to constrain them to come in, the chief cook must stay at home and see that the dinner is kept hot. Put your best men at the doors. At the hour of worship the deacons should not belong to the church invisible. Your Ushers should be your finest gentlemen, and it should not be necessary for them to go up the aisle with an anxious look, as though it were a very delicate matter to find a place where it would be safe to locate a guest. James ii : 1-5 would be a good motto to place over a diagram of church pews in the vestibule. When Charles bttiiib was asked why he did not go to church, he answered, 'I'udor refaf.' You may take it in either language. Too often it is not modesty, but the pew door which forbids. He who sat over against the treasury sits over against the pew still. The pew is also a place for harnessing. < What do they do when they install a minister,' said a youthful scion, do they put him in a stall and feed Not a bit,' said the father, him ?' 'they harness him to the church and expect him to haul it alone.' Paul writes, Ye are our ejiistle,' his only letter to the world. The Church has been divided into militant, triumphant and termagant, but the mere church absorbent is bad enough. The water-wheel gives power, but it does not spin or weave. 'Is the sermon all done." asked one pew of another. No, it's all said, it's got to be dune yet,' was the answer. We are the body of Christ and members in particular. If His life be in us all and always, We shall move together at His will." " ' ' "The pew doesn't serve its purpose unless it Is occupied; nay,-not unless it is occupied with regularity. Saul was greatly annoyed, on a certain occasion, because David's place was empty, though the point he wanted to make with him was not exactly in the line of preaching. Tlie pulpit doesn't want an admiring pew, nor a patronising pew. It does not want to be set up to be worshiped, nor set down to be patted on the back. It is not afraid of a critical pew—l mean in the only worthy sense—a discriminating pew. But the pulpit does want a sympathetic hearing in the pew.

Hut the coming and going of Captain Isaiah Hray does ; for, was he not our very first General Secretary, though a temporary onet And was he not, while in the United States, fully authorized, as our delegate at large, to represent us, as an Association, in tho various Y. If. C. A. gatherings, which he might attend ? Yes, both of these things are true, and though little may have been said, during bis recent stay among us, to show our real appreciation of these peat valuable services, yet wo have not forgotten tltcm by any means. Indeed, we believe if he could have remained with us, as (ieneral Secretary, instead of going to the States, our Association would to-day be in a stronger condition than it ta. Hut he had a larger duty to perform—that of raising funds for the new Morning Star. His heart was in the idea of getting a steamer for missionary purposes, and so his way heetiiiie clear to leave us. And how successful he was in the accomplishment of his purpose is shown by the new vessel that has just gone from us on its annual mission. Hut he was successful in another direction also, as is shown by the well attested and enduring love of thousands of children throughout the United States, in whose hearts ho has won for himself a place. As a delegate at large, he spoke for us, and alKitit our work, more than once. At the State Conference of Massachusetts, the opportunity was courteously extended to him of taking all the time he wanted, in which to speak ot our work, while, to the other Delegates, was given but a limited time for reports. He said, Every one seemed quite surprised to learn how established we had become. They could hardly grasp tho idea of the existence of a $20,000 Association building in the midst of the Pacific ocean." At the same Conference referred to above, when they were raising funds for State work, and when a little lull came, so that pledges were made slowly, Captain Hray called out, For the Honolulu Association $25," whereupon there was a perfect storm of applause, and from the novel fact of Honolulu's Association, the Association almost from the very districts of Heathendom assisting in the home work, there went forth a new enthusiasm, and subscriptions came In with a fresh and vigorous nipidity. We would not speak of this other than as an acknowledgement of our appreciation of the man, who so ably and faithfully represented us as our Delegate abroad. And again we cannot close our expression about him, without >3aylng that his presence among us, for the few weeks of his recent stay, has been an encouragement to us. He dropped into his old habit of earnestly taking hold, and giving us the helping hand. Should the time come, when, for any " " �THE FRIEND. 10 for him to give up his charge of the Morning Star, we believe he would make some Association a most admirable general secretary.

At their second meeting In New York City, lateThe ly, one of the members said, ministers and the papers have been pretty hard on us lately, and we've got to do something." Uut when they tried to do something, they found they could not agree on a single something. A resolution against keeping the rinks open on Sunday, and another against permitting skate races by women and girls, were Ixith voted down, after excited discussion, and a noisy protest against dictation from the board of managers, as to tho conduct of the rinks. It became clear that ■ the most objectional features of this new craze were the most popular with the mass of its patrons, and brought in the largest share of the income ', and that those managers who were for "elevating roller skating, making the character of the rinks above suspicion or reproach," and "cultivating taste, homely manners and a genteel gait," had undertaken a hard task. " TRAMPS IN THE TROPICS. From The Occident we clip the following in regard to Rev. R. Mackenzie's lecture upon his Hawaiian trip: We know but little of the Island world to the west ol us. The time is near when we must know much more. It is the scene of the next conflicts and conquests of the hungry Saxon. The Hawaiian kingdom is the commercial and political portal to thai world. The romance of Geology ban loved to consider tin' Hawaiian Islami.s either the pioneer peaks of a continent yet to rise, or the lingering summits of a continent already Bunk. Probably ttiey tire neither, but n few irresponsible islands urged up by volcanic action from the sen bottom, fringed by coral r**efs of great antiquity. The processes of earth formation are well seen in tbeHe islands. The finished island, the cold and empty crater, still intact, as if the fires were extinguished but yesterday, and the volcano still in full action. The first inhabitant ■ are supposed to have arrived ill the islands about the second century of our era, and were the vanguard of a race that .eft the cradle of mankind at about the time Abraham was loading a greater race to the west. The natives are a stalwart, benevolent, happy people, much given to hospitality and superstition. By reason -if their own vices and early contact with the worst vices of our civiltz nio.i, they rapidly decreased in number, until from 300,000 they are ivduoed to 40.000, and are disappearing at the rate of 4,000 in every six years.

It is a holiday trip in a genial climate, among a generous people and gorgeous scenery. THE "WASTED" SERMON. Dark clouds were gathering in the western sky and it did not need the wisdom of a weather prophet to predict storm was rapidly approaching. disappointment overshadowed the minister's face, as he stood by his that a A cloud of study window and watched the sky, hoping against hope that the storm might pass over. He turned back to his desk and sighed wearily as be took up the sermon he had just been reading over. |a it not bard f" lie said to his wife, who was sitting in her low chair before Hie open grate; "even the weather seems to have entered into league with everythingelse to defeat my hopes. This is the last Sunday before communion, and I spent so much labor on these two sermons, thinking that surely some good would come of them ; but only two of those whom I had especially in my mind were there to hear this morning's sermon. Brother Henderson's new organ proved a superior attraction, and they went to hear it. Now this evening I cannot hope for an audience, for this storm looks as if it would break just about church time. 1 have a great mind to preach an old sermon, for I have spent so much labor on this one, and hoped for so much from it, that I cannot bear to waste it on a few." '< It is hard," responded his wifesym- " Volume 43, No. 6 pathetically, its she came to his side and but, looked out at the lowering sky; dearest, you know Who will choose your audience this evening. Do you think it would be better to lay aside the sermon you have prepared especially for this evening because the weather is so unpropitious than to preach it in faith that God will not'let his word return unto hint void." The minister shook his head. "Perhaps you are right," he said; this is a question I have never been able to settle .satisfactorily in my own mind, whether I have any right to reserve a sermon that I have prepared for a special occasion. 1 will preach this one to-night, that I may err on the safe side if I err at all." Great drops began to patter down as they left the house, and before they had gained the shelter of the church the rain was coming down in torrents. One by one the faithful few who were always in their accustomed places, despite wind or storm, straggled in, and just us the second bell stopped ringing, three of those over whom the pastor bad yearned came in, and it was with a hope that his appeal might retich these three hearts at least that he began the service. A swift-winged prayer rose upward from his heart as he rose to preach. The feeling that his message was directed especially to these three souls which had not yet found their Savior lent him unusual energy and power. His text was the precious invitation, "Come un(o me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and 1 will give you rest." His bearers could not but be impressed by the earnestness and solemnity of his appeal, as he urged them to accept the gracious invitation and find the rest and peace which passeth all understanding. As the notes of the last hymn echoed through the church the storm seemed to rage less furiously for a time, and a man who bad been standing in the vestibule, unseen by either minister or people, raised his umbrella and went out into the darkness again, with the words of the Delay not, delay not," followhymn, ing him until he passed out of hearing. He bad sought refuge there from the storm just before the sermon, and had been tin unseen auditor through the remainder ol' the service, lie had glanced at the array of empty pews and the small congregation scattered about the church with a smile half of amusement, half of " " . " contempt. "A storm like thissifts a church pretty thoroughly," he said to himself, "in spite of all their professions there are few that care enough for their soul's salvation to seek it in such weather. I suppose the minister will save a sermon by it, however, for no doubt he will either give them an old one or let them go without any. I can't say that I blame him either, for empty seats have a remarkably depressing effect upon a man's eloquence." The door leading from the vestibule into the church was ajar, so he heard �June, 1885. word of the serfnon without any effort to do so. He listened with an interest that he was surprised at. It was his boast that he could live, and had always lived and prospered, without religion. He was a successful lawyer, with genial manners which made him universally popular. He was charitable and generous, not from any sense of duty, but from a kindness of heart that made him willing todo any thing to alleviate suffering or distress in others, and no man could have led a more upright lite than he did. He believed himself to be thoroughly sincere, and he was merciless in discovering inconsistencies in the lives of those who professed to be Christians. He was the leader of a large circle of young men -who, admiiing his character and talents, followed his example implicitly in regard to religious matters. He had not entered the doors of a church for years, and it was only the fury of the elements that had driven him to seek a temporary shelter there this evening. Had the sermon been argumentative he would have sought arguments to mentally refute it, but it was nothing of the kind: it was an earnest appeal to all to come to the Savior. The words were full of impassioned entreaty, and he could not doubt but that the speaker spoke from his heart. A strange longing to know somewhat of this joy and pence In believing cam;' over him as he stood there alone in the darkness, but he shook off the feeling half angrily. He would have plunged into the storm again, but there was a fascination that held him to the spot until the sermon was concluded and the hymn read. He walked home rapidly, trying to banish the train of thought that hid been suggested by the words he had heard, but his attempts were useless. He sat by the glowing tire in the solitude of his own room while the storm raged without, and tried to comprehend this new feeling which had taken possession of his heart. "It is the weather," he muttered to himself, impatiently drawing the heavy curtains together, that they might dead, en the sound of the wind and rain. Hut he could not as easily shut out this unusual depression that had seized him. He kept late vigil, and when he finally retired it was only to toss restlessly on his pillow and hear again the words, "Come unto me and I will give you rest." Rest! That was what he longed for; but how could he give up his unbelief, his arguments, and go to the Savior whom he had rejected all his life ? "That sermon was utterly wasted," said the minister to his wife when they reached home, "for old Mr. Sands slept through it, and itis evident enough that the two girls present paid no heed to It. And yet I cannot blame myself, for I did my utmost. If I had had a hundred unconverted souls before me I could not have tried more earnestly to win them. I was so terribly in earnest myself to-night evjery 11 THE FRIEND. that I telt as if I surely had reached some you see how entirely J. failed. 1 have lost heart and hope." Don't say that," answered his wife. You have done your part, now trust the Lord to do his part." Hut she could not cheer herhusband's depressed spirits, and it was with a heavy heart that he sought his pillow. The next morning, when he was enjoying the late breakfast that was his Monday morning privilege, thedoor-bell rang and a card was brought in to him. Mr. Leonard !" he ejaculated, in sur< What can he have come for !" prise. He left his unfinished breakfast and went into the parlor. Minutes passed away into an hour, and still Mrs, Newton heard the continuous sound of voices in low, earnest conversation, and she grew somewhat annoyed at this untimely visitor, who had interrupted her husband's breakfast. At last she heard the sound of retreating footsteps and the opening and closing of the front door. She replaced tbedishes which she had been keeping warm upon the hearth, and sighed a little at the thought of how long they had been kept waiting. When the door opened and her husband reentered the room she was struck with the look of solemn j.iy on his face. p>< Truly God's word did not return unto Him void 1 tst owning," he said, with a The storm was glad ring in his voice.

Mr. Leonard was driven by the tempest to seek shelter within the doors of the church, and he heard the sermon which I thought was wasted. It has already brought forth fruit, by God's blessing, for Mr. Leonard came this morning, as humbly as a child, to ask the way to his Savior. May God forgive me for my lack of faith in hispower, and to Him be all the glory." Mr. Leonard's openly professed allegiance to his new Master was but the first fruit of that sermon. Those who had imitated him in his indifference to religion followed his lead now, and a new spiritual life was infused into the church, the beginning of which could be traced back to that stormy evening whenMr. Newton preached the sermon which, in his ignorance of the workings of Providence, he had condemned as wasted.

We do not believe in a religion which simply jumps over earth and lands upon Jordan's better side. We believe in a religion which tries to better this side; which leads men up to the temple of the Almighty not only to seek forgiveness of their sins, but to seek guidance in the paths of varied duty. A religion which exhausts itself upon the future, and dare not speak out about the present life, The Friend holds in contempt. As we turn over the leaves of our Old Testament we find that religion, as there taught, was almost wholly occupied in the reform of man's earthly affairs. In the language of Prof. Swing, of Chicago: Evidently the mission of Mosaism was to build up an improved nation, an improved morals and a better manhood. It made no effort to save men from a hell beyond the tomb." And so in the New Testament: while the Christ plainly taught a future life, yet his discourses lie largely within the field of duty between men. While He taught that man should love God supremely, He also taught •' Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." He preached the necessity of righteousness and responsibility in a manner unequalled before or since. What then is the mission of a religious newspaper? It should, of course, first of all hold up the Cross as the only way of salvation from sin. But a salvation which does not make men better citizens, business men, fathers and associates, is worthless. Hence it should stand as the fearless exponent of righteousness, temperance, justice, honesty and good government. It should not hesitate to rebuke immorality, or dishonesty, or betrayal of trust wherever found. The Friend accepts that as its mission. We wear the collar of no party, and we allow no one to put a muzzle upon us. The editors of The Friend were men be/ore they became ministers; they are men still, and claim the rights of men. We have opinions—yes, political opinions—and shall fearlessly state them whenever we think we can do good thereby. We shall write upon such questions in no narrow, partizan spirit; we shall make no war against men; but we " favor or displeasure almost every occurrence was attributed. The earth and the sea, tlie firmament, the seasons, flowers and fruits, were all subject to the behests of their respective divinities. The philosophers professed to know hut little about these gods, and as to their power over men and events they differed. Seneca says: I* Fortune scatters her gifts over the world and rules without order the affairs of men." Some held that the gods were themselves controlled by an irresistible fate. Tiie Stoics taught that the deities interfered with human affairs only on important occasions. But though they were at variance on many points, the belief of the multitude was in polytheism. The opposite of this, that there is no superior being at all, seems recently to have been adopted and organized. The /St. James Budget has the following: ''An anti-deist society has been founded in Jfaris.and it has just begun its operations by holda B'irt of anti-prayer meeting iv one of the public hails of the oity. The object of the society is to 'combat religious dogmas of every description,' and iv its motto, which was set forth conspicuously on a placard in the hall, 'Dieu voila i ennemis,' God is the enemy. The second article of its statutes declares that its speoial aim is 'to suppress tho word Dieu, God, and its equiva aleuts in all the languages of the globe; for if the being so designated is a mere fiction the word has neither sense nor ruisoti d'etre,' right to exist. The anti deists are uuder a pledge not to use the word themselves iv their correspondence or conversations. Kveu the familiar formula adieu is ban islied from their phraseology, and a lon souvenir substituted for it. Ihe anti-AbbeOaston *>iwwiied n sermon—an anti-sermon it ought to be calleJ perhaps—though, like orthodox sermons, it w is in three heads, turning on the creation, pi evidence and a future state—all of which the preaoher denied." ing But what is the origin of these foolish tind fruitless endeavors to banish God from His universe? There is no doubt that one of the causes is pride. Another, and perhaps the main cause, is the consciousness of guilt. The children in our Sunday schools do not object to God. The Christian does not; but some men do; and we suspect the reason to be that they dread to meet God because their hearts and lives are not right. South says: Men are atheistical because they are first vicious." So belief in God is allied with goodness. The Christian faith contemplates right character. Its object is to build up. I'ure and happy homes, the education of mind and heart, and the cure of the widow and the fatherless in their affliction, are the trophies and aims of Christianity. But atheism makes no sacrifices. It builds no hospitals; it sends forth no missionaries to enlighten and elevate. Atheism cannot account for human pain and suffering. Nature is pitiless. The tempest-tossed sea has no compassion on the mariner in the dark and lonely wreck. But Christianity teaches that affliction develops and perfects character, and that the season of suffering will be followed by a crown of glory, as fruit comes from the blossom-bud. The atheistic creed sees nothing beyond. Its dogma is: When the mortal term ends I stare into the darkness. Dust to dust and then eternal silence. But the Christian by faith looks through the open door into the Father's house. The light of the world is Jesus. If we follow Him we shall not drift away from the haven of Faith to be lost on the dark and perilous sea of atheism. your. " THE DOWAGER QUEEN EMMA. Again Hawaii sits stricken, because one of her noble and great ones is dead Saturday, April 25th,the Dowager Queen Emma passed away. She was a devoted, earnest, loyal member of the Anglican Church.

" �4 ROLLER SKATING. In the April number of The Friend attention was called to the injurious physical effects of this form of "amusement on the health of young people, particularly girls, and that leading physicians, in such a city as Boston, pronounce against it. In connection with the dangers to the physical well-being, we made mention of the permanent enlargement of the ankle as a well known fact. To this we may add from a recent American publication, not dependent on the rink for advertising, and therefore at liberty to speak out: "It is now ascertained that the effect of roller-skating on the feet is such that ladies' custom-made shoes will be demanded from one-halt to a full size larger." Facts accumulate to show that the amusement in question Is open to the most serious objections. We said a month ago that it must of necessity take the minds of the young away from their studies. Since then an educator among us has substantiated our words. This teacher's testimony is, that those once among the best of scholars and most earnest in their Studies have lost their application and enthusiasm, and are now absent-minded and restless. This "would seem to be the natural effect of an exercise so full of unhealthy excitement. It is remarkable how infatuated many young ladies have become with this form of amusement. To illustrate: In a certain city there lived a young lady. She was beautiful, gifted and popular. One day she gave a luncheon to a number ofheryoung friends. She of course expected these young people to spend at least a part of the afternoon with her. But this was not to be. Shortly after the meal it was asked, "May we be excused?" and the secret was the rink—roller skating on the brain. In the April numlier we have recorded our objections against the rink from a social standpoint It is a strange phenomenon that where ladies at other times select their society with care, and draw the line as to being introduced, they throw aside the prevailing rules and formalities on entering the rink. Bearing on this special point, the Christian Union remarks: THE FRIEND. quette of the place permits, has been in many cases disastrous. The Christian Union further and wisely adds : When your children go to spend the evening at the rink tbey go to spend it with you do not know whom, they do not know whom ;'with Tom, Dick aud Harry. Yonr own guardianship is laid aside ; no other guardianship is substituted. There is doubtless at this time a culpable lat'k of parental authority. Of Abraham the Ijord said : I know him that he will command his household." When the mother of Washington W;is asked how she had trained her noble son, her I taught him the lesson of reply was : obedience." Good government at home is wanting. When an old minister was •sked whether he thought there was as much family government kept up now as in his young days he replied, that he thought there was, with this difference, that in his young days the old people governed, but now the young people did most of the governing. This at least is certain, that never before have mothers had such a time with their daughters. Once these could say from the heart, 'There is no place like home;' but the rink has brought about a feverish sttite of unrest and excitement. How? Hark! One young man will run against another young man at so many dollars a side. Two or three evenings later, a race for a medal. On which an exchange remarks : " " It is an atmosphere of pernicious competition: nf dangerous proximity to gambling. Some natures are strong enough to stand it. But it is tiot worth while to breathe a malarial atmosphere because we think we shall not be poisoned. It is the social law of the publio rink that any one may speak to any one; any one may invite any one as a partner in skating. No introduction is required. None of the ordinaryguards which society puts about character are recognized or required. It is true that the acquaintance is only a rink acquaintance. But what shall we say of an institution which oasts down for a night, and for night after night, all barriers, while at the same time it tacitly recognizes their neoessity and propriety by pleadiug in defense of its action that they are not destroyed,only for the evening's hour removed? No evidence of good moral oh iracter or social standing is required for admission. The only oard of admission is the quarter paid at the A fact which cannot be denied is that the young, and married people also, are at the rink alienated from home anil home life. But is it not better, that young men especially, who will go somewhere to spend their evenings, should go to the skating rink, instead of frequenting worse places? To this our reply is : The young men in question probably have no tendency or desire—at least so we hope—to spend their evenings at the dramshop. Besides, the young men of Honolulu are not shut up to a choice between the dramshop and the rink. For—and to this fact we earnestly invite attention—there are other and far superior attractions. What are they ? The beautiful and well ventilated rooms at the Y. M. C. A. Hall and at the Public Library building. As we saw these buildings a few evenings ago, with their reading rooms abundantly lighted and aired, we felt that ptiius are taken and much money annually contributed to draw young men to a safe and pleasant resort, and to provide them witli what will be to them of great and lasting The Advance coincides with the above.

Thus we once more record our objectlOßS against roller-skating and point out, particularly to the young, a more excellent way. CHRISTIANITY AND THE NATIVE HAWAIIANS. The native Hawaiians have been mainly deprived uf their lauds, and different parts of the world have been tried to get labor to work them with tlie very least pay. The labor-ships have cruised all over the Pacific Ocean for men. Many have been brought from the Azores, Home from Norway, and eiieii h from China to outnumber all the males of all nationalities. No notice is taken of the rights or wrongs of the natives. No word of remiiustrance rises from any quarter. The question conies uu, Of what value is Christianity to the native islanders ? Had we found the above in the San Francisco Chronicle it would not have surprised us, but to find it in Thel'ucijic's editorial columns excites wonder not unmixed with indignation. It is another proof that all wisdom and knowledge does not inhere in an editorial "we." What are the facts ? 1. As to native Hawaiians being deprived of their lands: Previous to the introduction of Christianity no common native Hawaiian owned a foot of land. It was all owned by the King and a few high chiefs. The common people were "tenants at will"—they could be dispossessed any moment. The tenant had no rights save at the mere caprice of the chief who controlled the land. Through the old tabu tyranny he was not certain of enjoying the fruits of his labor even. This state of affairs existed until 1845, when, largely through the influence of missionaries, Kamehameha 111 divided the lands, reserving a part for himself, another part for the Crown, while still another was granted to native Hawaiian residents. Patents were granted to every man who could prove his occupancy of lands for a certain numberof years. Rev. Mr. Richards, a missionary, was President of the Land Commission. Throughout tlie entire group the missionaries assisted the natives in preparing proof of their right to lands. Three years later Dr. G. P. Judd was a member of a committee of three to finally decide upon disputed claims for lands. It is noexageration to say that, but for Christianity, the common native Hawaiians never would have had any lands ot which to be deprived. It is true that these lands, thus put by Christianity in the ownership of native Hawaiians, have largely passed into other hands. This fact is not due to Christianity but in spite of it. The law of "the survival of the fittest" prevails here as elsewhere. The native is no match for the Anglo-Saxon, or the shrewd, industrious, money-making Chinaman. In a free country of equal rights, like America �THE FRIEND. May, 1885. or Hawaii, a man who owns land has a right to sell it. The Hawaiians have | exercised this right. Were the Indian Reservations In America to be divided up and granted to the Indians in severalty, in ten years time how much of the land would be owned by red men? Then, too, it is not true that the Hawaiians have sold all their lands. Much of it still remains in their possession. 2. In regard to cheap labor: Our plantations must have cheap labor or be run at a loss. On nearly every plantation native Hawaiian laborers are preferred. There is uot an able-bodied native Hawaiian in the Kingdom to-day, if he will work, who cannot have steady employment, a comfortable home for himself and family, plenty of plain food, and fair wages on our plantations —which is more than can be said for tens of thousands of American operatives and mechanics. :i. In regard to "no notice being taken of the rights and wrongs of the natives": Constant endeavor is being made to save the remnant of the native race from extinction. Good men and true Christian women are devoting their money, their best thought, their time, themselves, to the uplifting, educating, and salvation of the natives. 4. Last and most amazing, "of what value is Christiaity to native islanders?" Sixty-five years ago Christianity found the natives naked, superstitious itlolators, living in grass huts; without laws, n written language, or a government, save the despotic absolute will of the King; tlie native had absolutely no rights, either of property, person, or life itself; the state of morals wits unspeakebly gross—"all the vanity and indelicacy that lewdness and drunkenness could accomplish, were to be seen:" among the chiefs "rank had to be taken from the mother, no child with certainty being able to designate till father."* New, largely as the result of Christianity, the native Hawaiians have a constitutional government, which guarantees to every man the rights "of life, limb, liberty, freedom from oppression, the earnings of his hands and the productions of his mind"; they have homes and decent clothing; they have a written language, and the beginning of a literature; they have good schoools in every district, and more than five thousand adults out of a native population of 44,00(1 are members of Protestant Churches. Morally, while much remains to be done, and there is much over which all good people lament, the native Hawaiians arcincomparably superior to the negroes of the South in America, and will compare favorably with the poorer or "lower" classes in American cities. We quote from "Aloha": "Do you think," asked a Boston merchant of an earnest religious man and merchant of Honolulu, "that the mission to the Hawaiian Islands has really done much That depends," was the spirgood?" ited reply, "on whether the people of the Hawaiian Islands have souls or not."

Nevada has a law prohibiting "treating," which punishes any violation or evasion of its provisions with fine and imprisonment. We know some people from that State who will now lose all desire to return to it. In the "rules and regulations" of a certain skating rink not a thousand miles from Honolulu, we find the followiug very suggestive sentence: "Skating in couples should be practiced as much as possible, especially by gentlemen and ladies." The Friend acknowledges thereceipt of complimentary tickets to the entertain. meat given by the Myrtle Boat Club, Jr. At the next regatta we shall watch eagerly for the colors of "our boys" at the fore, and shall throw our hat very high over their victory.

The total num >er of accessions to the Congregational Churches of America, since Jan. 1, 188 i, gathered by The Advance, of Chicago, is stated in its issue of Mar li ISHIi, to be 7,044. These figures indicate a wile-spre el revival interest among Congregitionilists. The Kansas legislature has just passed a wise law prohibiting the selling or giving of tobacco in any form to persons under sixteen years of age. Whatever difference of opinion there may be in regard to the use of tobacco by adults, till authorities agree that its use is injurious to the young. The poorest and most unprofitable mission in the world is fault-flnditig, and yet "their name is Legion" who make it theirs. Dear Christian, if things in your Church don't go just as you wish, if the minister does say and do things you don't like, and you are iuclined to criticise, take Puck's advice to those Go to your Don't! about to marry, closet and pray for your Church and your minister instead. Rev. Dr. Warren, President of Boston Univesity, has written a book, "Paradise Found," in which he maintains that the Garden of Eden was at—the North Pole : This is not a new theory, however startling it may appear. The Congregationalist, in reviewing the book, We are free to say that the apsays: parent force of its reasoning is great, and we do not see why it may not prove convincing." It is now a very generally accepted fact among scientists, that originally the climate of the Arctic zone was temperate if not tropical. The Salvation Army recently held a Hallelujah Octopus in Brooklyn N. Y. " " " " " 5 Over 300 delegate* from eight different States were in attendance. The street parade was led by a "Major" on horseback, with six mounted aides, followed by one hundred young women, marching two abreast, clad in red Jackets, with red ribbon on their hats, and all thumping tambourines! It is a strong proof of the divine origin of Christianity that it increasingly retains its hold on the heart and brain of the world in spite of the absurdities and monstrosties perpetrated by its adherents. Is there not a hint for parents in the fact that in New York, where the popular amusementof roller-skating has prevailed long enough for its fruits to be seen, a bill lias been introtlueed into the Legislature which "prohibits girls under fourteen years of age from attending rinks after 5 o'clock p. m. without the written consent of their parents or guardians, or being accompanied by them, and prohibits children from attending during school hours?" If the bill becomes a law the next number of our esteemed contemporary, the A. C. C, will undoubtedly contain an item giving its opinion that "the Legislature of New York is too severe on skating rinks," and our secular papers which derive advertising revenue from the rinks will undoubtedly approve it as "a manly expression," all of which will be looked" upon by The Friend with serenity, and as in the natural order of things. The N. Y. correspondent of The Advance, on the authority of Mrs. Ellis, Sec. of the W. C. T. U., of New Jersey, gives the following: Early last year several ladies agreed together to pray that she who might oome into charge of the White House after the next election might be a temperance woman. Shortly after, at a Isrgo mooting of the Union iv New York, a lady of moon presence, who presided at the meeting bat who was unknown to Mrs. Ellis, asked her to oome to tlie platform and pray. She did so, aud she and the presiding officer kneeled together. Daring the prayer Mrs. KUia remembered her pledge aud prayed earnestly for the incoming mistress of the White House, that, whatever she might be, she might be an advocate of teinperanoe. The lady kneeling by Mrs. Ellis' side responded freq untly with a fervent Amen. At the olose of the meeting they were introduced, and the lady who presided, and who was so much in sympathy with A! rs. Ellis' prayer, proved to be Miss Hose Cleveland, who now presides, with much acceptance, at me w'uite House. But this meeting, it should be noticed, was iv May, before the conventions winch nominated presidential candidates. Miss Clevi land, therefore, had not the least suspicion that this prayer might he auswered by a summons to herself to take the responsibility she has now assumed. - It is perhaps an open question as to who is the most despicable of cowards, but undoubtedly the anonymous letter writer stands in the foremost rank in the competition. Honolulu is not without specimens of the reptile. In his essay on "Human Intercourse," Mr. Philip Gilbert Hammerton says of him: The envious or jealous man canjthrow his vitriol can in the dark and slip away anperoeived—he ever write an anonymous letter. Has the reader to himself the state of that really tried to picture man's or woman's mind (for women write these things also) who can sit down, take a sheet of paper, make a rough draft of an anonymous letter, copy it oat in a very legible, yet oarefally disguised hand, and make arrangements for having it posted at a distance from the place where it �Volume 48, No- 5 THE FRIEND. 6 was written?

April—May. On the Sunday evening previous to his departure to the States, the Rev. Dr. A. P. Rapper gave an interesting address on the progress of Christian missions in China, On the sth, Easter Sunday, there were large congregations morning and evening, As each returning Sunday brings to our attention the blessed fact of Enter, "I am he that liveth and that was dead; and behold I am alive forevermore," why should not our congregations be always as large throughout the year? The floral decorations were, beautiful and abundant. On the morning of the 12th the Rev. Arthur 11. Smith, from North China, occupied the pulpit. His subject was, "Is Christianity obsolescent?" In a discourse Which commanded close attention, the speaker first presented the arguments adduced against the Christian cause; then demonstrated its progress, and furnished the proofs for final and complete success. Mr Smith understands the art of presenting old truths in a new and attractive form. On the tenth of August, 1884, while Dr. Damon was traveling in China and Japan, E. C. Oggel, by invil ißon, I ~lv charge of the pulpit. On Wednesday evening, April 15, 1885, after the prayer meeting, the Church and congregation took the following action: "Resolved, That the Rev. E. C. Oggel be invited to become the pastor of this Church, and that if agreeable to him, he be installed." In reply to this, the pastor-elect said on Sunday morning, the 26th: I deem it an honor and a privilege to have stood for eight months In the pulpit from which the late Dr. Damon has for more than forty years broken to you the bread of life. I accept your invitation to serve you in the Gospel.

Above the platform, on the Willi, were the words "Christ the Lord is risen today," and below theae the same In Hawaiian. On either side, Aloha oukou. A great mass of ferns rose at an angle from the floor, and ut the apex stood a cross of ferns, heliotrope, and white flowers. Over this were festoons, and an arch of ferns, to which were attached tho letters, M-l-G-H-T-Y T-O S-A-V-E, as the scholars recited their various parts. The tones of the new beautiful organ were supplemented by Mr. Rickard's trombone, Mr. Sanford's violoncello, and Mr. I lusty with the cornet. The combination of all these instruments in What shall tbt! harvest be," and in several selections, was delightful. All who took part in the exercises did well. The singing was good, especially that by Miss Emma Hickard in the Palms," and Nellie Rickard in the "Easter Carol with chorus and bell accompaniment. "There is a green hill faraway" by the Misses Hattie Sanford and Kavoni, and There's a Land that is faiter," by Mastor and Normon Symon, were very sweetly sung. The opening anthem by a male quartett, "Christ the Lord is risen," was nicely sung by Mr. Lyman, Mr. Hickard, Mr. Sanford, and Mr. Goodell. Mr. Haislip read The Resurrection,'' with much taste. A duett, "We shall sleep," by Mr. Lyman and Mr. Goodell, was well sung. The remarks of Pastor Goodell were interpreted to the Hawaiians by Mr. D. F. Sanford. Pastor Kalaiwaa of the Paauhau Church with his people were present, the former making the closing prayer. The pleasant exercises was closed by the large audience rising, and with organand orchestra, joining in "Coronation." The Sabbath congregations are good.

Mr. Moody preached a Christmas sermon, taking for his text, Luke 2:7. "There was no room for him in the inn." We copy the following paragraphs from this sermon which is full of suggestive ideas: Has the world grown any better during these eighteen hundred years? Is Christ wanted to-day ? If He should come again, would he be welcome? Would the nations of the rnrth receive Him with delight and gladness? What nation would make room for him to-day? If it were riut to the public vote, what nation would vote to have Him come back to be their King? Talk about England and America being Christian nations, do you think either of them would invite Him to come? Has America got room for Him? Eighteen hundred years have rolled by since He went away, and more has lieen written about Ilim and said nbout Him than any other man, or thousand men, or million men, and yet there Is no nation under heaven that wants Him. When He was down hero there was not a village in any part of the country that wanted Him. He went to Nazareth where lit! was brought up: He went into the Synagogue and began to tell out the glad tidings. They took Him to the brow ol the hill and would have cast Him into hell if they could. They put llini out of the town. And there is not a town or village under the sun to-day that would not do the same. People say the world is growing so much better; but, as 1 havt! said, there is not a nation anywhere to-day that wants Him. Does (.erniany, or France, or England or America? Not only that; there is somothing a gootl deal worse than that Tnere Is hardly a church in Christendom that wants Him. Go to any of the churches next Sunday, and ask if they would vote to have Him come back. Why, my friends, the church has NOT GOT ROOM FOR HIM. She is not praying and longing for His return. (Jo down to the Exchange and ask if they have got room for Him. Why, a good ileal of the business would have to be done on different principles. Men would say: "We cannot quite make so much money, and we don't want Him." if it should be put to a vote In congress, would they have Him back? Is there room for Him among our statesmen and those who are making our laws? Would they invite Him back? Why, there would l>e a great commotion among the nations of the earth if He were to come. The fact is, there is no room for Him in the world yet. Our homes, our churches, the nations of the earth, are like that little Inn at Bethlehem. There is room for everything else; but In the church and the world to-day there is "no room for Him."

Quite a large number of the Gilbert Islanders brought to these Islands a few years ago, seem to have become so well acclimated, and so wellsatisfied with their condition here, that they remain on these Islands instead of returning to their native soil. There are now between 200 and 300 of them on the Island of Kauai, which for some reason seems to he their favorite island. Others are scatttered here and there on the other islands of the group. The whole number now on these Islands is probably not more than 400. Most of them, after having completed the term of their original contracts, find work again on the plantations, and are well liked as laborers. We notice by the way, on referring to the tables of the late census a lamentable dearth of information in this matter. All immigrants from the southern and western Pacific islands are lumped together under the one head of Polynesians"; whereas some of them come from the Gilbert Islands, some from the New Hebrides, and some from the Tonga Islands. These groups are from 600 to 1,300 miles distant from each other, and peopled by two, if not three, distinct races, neither one of which falls within the category now classed its "Polynesian." The New Hebrides and Tonga Islanders are of the very dark, woolly haired, prognathous tjpe known as Melancsian," and the Gilbert Islanders are of the type known as Micronesian,' which is quite distinct from the Polynesian. The census tables would have been much more satisfactory to those in search of accurate information if a little more care had been taken to observe these distinctions. During the brief stay of the City of Sydney in port, on her way to San Francisco last week, we had the pleasure of meeting Rev. Thos. Powell, for many years a missionary of the London Missionary Society in the Samoan group. Mrs. Powell and himself were on their way to visit old England once more, and see their children and twelve grandchildren. We enjoyed a delightful hour of converse with them, and found Mr. Powell full of Information with regard to the Samoan people, their language, legends, etc., as well as their advance in Christian civilization.

By the Morning Star, we send forward this year, Scriptures and school books in three different languages for lilcronaaja, viz., the New Testament, and a Hymn Book in the Gilbert Island language, the Book of Genesis, and the arithmetic, in the Marshall Island language, and The Epistles in Ponapcan. Of these, the Gilbert Island New Testament, translated by Rev. 11. Bingham, the Marshall Island Genesis, translated by EteV, Joel F. Whitney, and the I'onapean Epistles, translated by Rev. K. T. Do—, are published by the American Bible Society at New York ; 'md the Gilbert Island Hymn Book, prepared by Rev. H. Bingham, and Marshall Island Arithmetic, revised and enlarged by Rev. E. M. Pease, are published by the Hawaiian Board. in our item for March on the census, a slip of the pen made us say that the actual percentage of decrease of the Hawaiian nation hail diminished 0.11 per cent, during the past six years. The correct figure-, would have been (1.(54 per cent. Then, comparing this with the LSI per cent of actual diminution of rate in the previous six years, we find that the actual rate of decrease has risen J1.87 per cent during the past six years.

All the friends of the Chinese Mission will he pleased and encouraged to learn of these new additions to the membership of the Honolulu Church. The Superintendent of the Chinese Mission, F. W.

Rev. R. Taylor, D. D., of Beverly, N. J., U. K. A. WOds the handsome sum of $100 to help on the work among the Chinese. It is most encouraging to be thus remembered by one, who, though faraway from us, feels so nil an interest in the spread of the Gospel in, -ng this heathen people on our Islands It has been deemed wise to appropriate this amount towards tho support of the three Chinese Evangelists, now laboring among their countrymen in the group, and the teacher of the Boys' Mission school, Honolulu. These are all THE CHINESE WORK. and true helpers. The recent visit of Rev.

The Chinese will long remember his visit, all too brief, and the earnest words of encourgement and exhortation which he spoke to I hem, will undoubtedly bring good results. On Sunday morning, March 28th, Dr. I lapper spoke to a large audience which filled the Chinese Church to overflowing. Several hundred persons, men, women and children were present, who listened with the greatest attention lo a discourse on John iii:l6.

McCOY'S VISIT. Mr. Henry .1. McCoy, General Secretary of the San Francisco Association, has come and gone. He and his wife arrived March 23rd, and returned April 16th, making a visit of twenty-three days with us. We had heard that he would 'stir.us up,' Whan he came, but we had doubts. II has, however, proved true; and it was simply done hy his going energetically to work himself, and showing us how to do it ourselves. During the first nine days of his visit there were twenty-two public exercises, in which he hatl a part, and the most of which he had full charge of. Of course this counts in the half hour noon-day prayer meetings, which he established in our building. At the end of the nine days, he paid a flying visit to the volcano, but resumed his untiring public efforts upon his return. During his absence these prayer meetings were kept up in full force, so that we can report an average attendance of sixteen or seventeen for twenty-two meetings. Though there has been no special revival, the Association has surely caught some of the earnestness of the spirit that has been with us, and so we have hope for our future. Yes, of this oie result we are sure, we have learned a lesson from the practical example we have had in Mr. McCoy, and are thoroughly awakened to a keen appreciation of the best methods of work, and thus we go forward with courage. ANNUAL MEETING. to the fact that Mr. McCoy was to leave us on the 15th, our annual meeting, which would naturally have occurred on the 16th, was held on the evening of the 14th Inst. At the business meeting in the parlors below, held before the openning of the more public gathering in the hall above, the following annual officers were elected: J. B. Atherton, President; J. A. Dower, Vice-President; W. Podmore, Recording Secretary; Wm. Clark, Treasurer; T. H. Davies and P. C. Jones, Jr., Directors. The meeting then adjourned to the hall above, where the following programme was essentially carried out: Opening prayer by Rev. E. C. Oggel; singing; reports of Secretary and Treasurer, which by vote of the Association are printed below; the excellent address of the retiring President, which is also printed by vote of the Association, on another page of this issue; and finally, an earnest, enthusiastic address from Mr. McCoy. After a closing prayer by the Rev. Geo. Wallace, came refreshments prepared by the ladies, in the way of ice-cream, cake and coffee.

God has given to every young man his life for a purpose; not to be wasted, not to be frittered away in idle pleasure, not to bo spent in selfish indulgence, but to be filled up with usefulness and to prepare for eternity; so life is full of responsibilities—a constant battle to l>e fought day by day even unto the end, with many failures by the way, and those failures are often the means to success. The end is sure to come, sooner perhaps than we expect, antl when it does come we must giflfe an account of our stewardship. " So live that when tu> summons comes to join The innumerable caravan whioh moves To that mysterious realm where eacb sball take His chamber in Ihe silent halls of death Thou go not like the quarry slave at nichi, Scourged lo bis dungeon, but sustained and soothed By au unfaltering 1 trust, approach thy grave Like one that wraps the drapery of bis couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams." Our lives are in our own hands and we are expected to make the best use of the opportunities given us, and just in the position in Which God has placed us. Success in life is not attained by one grand stroke, and just here is where so many make a failure of it. Many young men give up very early in life because success does not come with their first effort. Many others think it can be attained by one grand effort, and their lives tire wasted in watching and waiting for the one grantl opportunity which never comes. Faithfulness in little things Is what contributes very largely to make life a success. "Despise not the day of little things," is a truth not to l)e forgot- ten. All New Englanders are familiar with the name of "Billy" Gray of Salem, who began life as a drummer boy and afterward became a successful East India merchant. Some one once alluded sneeringly to his humble position when a boy, when he replied: When I was a drummer did 1 not drum well ?" It was because of his faithfulness in little things that made him the successful "merchant prince." Every young man has an influence either for good or for evil, and our influence increases with our years. We tire all also more or less influenced by others, and we are constantly imitating the example of those we look up to. No man can tell the extent of his influence upon others. I remember several years ago, when I was Introduced to Mr. Alpheus Hardy of Boston, a prominent member of the Prudential Committee of the A. H. C. F. M., one of Boston's successful merchants, a Christian gentleman and a man of grt at influence both in meicantileund religious circles in New England, and in fact the whole United States; in a short walk down State Street I receivedan inspiration from this man that has lasted me to this day. The names of such men as Peter Cooper, George Peabody and Wm. E. Dodge are a power in all Christian lands, who being dead yet speak." " " �11 THE FRIEND.

Our success in life is not measured, as some suppose, by the number of dollars, or lands, or houses, or herds that we gather antl accumulate during our "three score years and ten," nor by the reputation we may gain as able • ministers of State, or by our success in the various d( partments of science, literature or art, but by our faithfulness in the discharge of duties to Gotl and to our fellow men.

Now I firmly believe that if he had in very early life chosen God as his portion and consecrated all to Him who died for him, he would not to-day have had a dollar less and his life would have been a much happier one; besides he would have been a greater blessing to his fellow men. Young men, my advice to you is now to cheat the devil and turn Christian. Accept the offer of God now, after which you can choose that special form of. worship best suited to your tastes and early education.

The skating rink seems to be a center of much attraction to those who attend it. The young people especially appear to have taken an ardent fancy to it. This new and popular amusement has become quite general in the States and we, though somewhat isolated, already have two, or rival rinks. The amusement, when first introduced here, was greeted by many with a cordial aloha. The reasons of this were, doubtless, that there seemed to be nothing inherently wrong in the matter; it had the appearance of a harmless diversion, a pleasant pastime. One thing •which especially commended it to public favor was, that besides the amusement which it would furnish, it promised to do much toward preserving and supplying health. It engaged to develop the physical nature, add color to the cheeks and give tone to the system. Now as to this point, to begin with, the skating rink, of which we speak now in general, is a source of great and serious disappointment. From one of our exchanges we gather the opinions of six leading medical practitioners, of Boston, who speak disapprovingly of the rink. The first physician says:—" They are bad. bad all through. Nothing good about them." The second:—" Is any exercise conducive to health that is carried on in an illventilated room, where the atmosphere is poisoned with scones of breaths ? Is it conducive to health to exercise in an intolerable heat, and then to take a sudden coolim? draught from an open window ?" The third:—"One of the worst places for lungs and head. The room is filled with fine particles of dust, which pours forth from every crack in the floor and from every other place where the heavy jar of the skates can cause it to escape. This fine dust penetrates the lungs and head and irritatesthe mucous membrane, and let a cold be taken at the same time, and you can imagine how feebly a case of pneumonia may be resisted under such circumstances.". The fourth:—"In most cases now-adays, when misses come to us for medical advice in regard to some new form of ill— Number 4. HONOLULU, H. 1., APRIL, 1885. ness, the first question we put is, Have you been to the skating .rink ?" He also adds, that the late Dr Thorndike, one of the most eminent physicians of Boston, remarked to him shortly before his death that he had attended no less than fifteen eases of spinal affection coming directly from the skating rink. The fifth:—« The unnatural effort Incident to standing on rollers and skating, though not noticed at first by a well person, frequently causes protracted invalidism, and sometimes leads to spinal meningitis." The sixth:—" The movements of skating on rollers are all injurious. The ankles stiffen and often swell badly from the severe strain and the knee joint loses its ease of action; the spine sometimes suffers greatly, especially among girls and women in whom the dangers of future disease are much greater from all such exercise." We also note that a permanent enlargement of the ankle, or as it is now called "the skating riu'c ankle," has become a well known physiological fact to physicians, wherever I his amusement has prevailed for any length of time. Hence the institution in question appears fraught with danger to the physical well-being of those who frequent it. We. may add, that actual cases are reported, not a few, of broken arms and limbs; in one case of a mdtherwho broke an arm, her four children at home dependent on her care. Is roller skating a harmless amusement ? Is it healthy exercise ? Still sadder are the many cases of elopement of young girls, often witli married men, who leave wives and children behind. This would seem to be a natural result of the promiscuous gathering at the rink. Three such cases in one town in the States have come under our notice. A leading Chicago publication remarks: —m We know of one official member of a church who once defended the rink and became a stockholder in one. Forty ilays experience has taught him a lesson, to unlearn which he would give his very life. Educated, rather.rich, confident, a loving father, and sure there was no danger, his own and only little girl, in his own rink, fell a victim to the very 'innocent recreation' in which he 'bought stock' and which he will lament as long as he lives. The father in question reaped his percentage on the admission-price of a well-dressed young scamp who skated with the child, won her confidence, and finally gave the father a dividend of ghastly horror that will forever keep him from being a Univerealist." It further impresses us, that the rink draws away the minds of its patrons from the proper pursuits of life. We believe this to be especially true in the case of those attending school, whose attention " 3 THE FRIEND. to their duties should not be diverted by anything of so exciting a nature as the amusement at the rink. The institution educates in feelings that do not seem right. We understand that there are present such as do not take an active part, but who only attend to see those engaged in "the whirlwind of hot fun," and especially beginners, fall down. The qualities that adorn human nature and of which we all stand in need are those of kindness and gentleness. We submit, in view of all the facts, that it behooves parents, to exercise a loving and watchful care over their children. In what has been written we have with the best of feelings solely aimed at the public good. WORKING MEN, SALARIED MEN AND SILVER. is Nothing more certain than the fact that, unless some action is taken by the Government by which the present quantity of silver shall be largely reduced, and tin* excess permanently withdrawn, Hawaii's business must be conducted upon the basis of our 85-cent silver dollar. The result is inevitable. When that result comes the great loss and hardship will not fall upon capitalists, and tradesmen, and planters,—those classes in the Kingdom best able to endure it—but upon the working men, and salaried men, the very persons least able to endure it. America is facing the same inevitable fact, that she must stop coining 85-cent dollars or lose her gold, and conduct her business on the basis of 85-cent -ilvt-r dollars. In the Senate last month, Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, called attention to the hardship which such a calamity would bring upon all wage-workers. Commenting on his speech, the JV. Y. Independent says: Wage-workers and those whoreceive fixed salaries will be the first to feel the evil effects. These persons are paid for their services in money ; and if the money in which they are paid has lost some fifteen or twenty per cent in its purchasing power, this is to them practically equivalent to a similar reduction in the rate of wages or the amount of their salaries. The prices of the things on which they live, and which they must therefore buy, will rise much more rapidly from a depreciation in the value of money, than the rate of wages or salaries. It takes considerabletime to bring about an upward movement in the latter; and while this process is going on the wage-workers and all salaried persons who receive no more money for their services, have to pay more money for what they buy and consume. This is to them a severe hardship, and often involves a great deal of misery. They have to use their money as they earn it, being paid by the day or by the week, " �Volume 43, No. 4 THE FRIEND. 4 and are generally compelled to spend about as fastas they earn; and if prices go up, and wages and salaries, though not nominally changed, practically go down, then a heavy burden Jails upon them. Their services will buy less of the needed comforts of life." When Hawaii Is drained of gold, and our tradesmen must buy exchange at 1"> to 20 per cent, to pay for goods which the wage-worker buys, it goes without saying that the tradesmen will not bear that loss. They will simply add that much to their prices. And the clerk will find that his one hundred so-called dollars, which he receives at the end of each month will buy only eighty dollars worth of the necessaries of life for himself and family. In Other words he will have to pay fifteen or twenty dollars each month because Hawaii's business is on a silver and not a gold basis. daily food, and one of you say unto them, depart in peace, be ye warmed and tilled, notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth Uproot?" (James, 2: 15, Hi.) We must economize ? Yes. But to begin by discharging clerks with families; tutting down the salaries of those you retain: dispensing with white domestics and replacing them with Japanese; leaving the old tumble down fence, and the house unpaintcd, and the out-huildings unrepaired; rattling the old carriage, like A dice-box, through the streets rath- er than spend a few dollars in repairs, is not the wisest or the most Christian way to economize. How would it do to drop off Ihe tobacco and the wine bills, and many other useless, not to say harmful, and expensive luxuries, and use the money thus saved in a wise endeavor to make the times better by giving work lo the unemployed ? "WE MUST ECONOMIZE." He helps the poor man most who gives Must we ? while economy is generally hitn a chance to help himself. to be commended, in some cases, it is a christian anything but grace.

For this purpose they have adopted a course of reading recommended by the W. C. T. U. of America, proposing to spend half an hour at each monthly meeting in discussing some important subject. At the Kerch meeting Mrs. W. W. Hall read a most carefully prepared paper on"The Physiology of Alcoholics," founded upon a lecture by Dr. Carpenter of England. And Miss Charlotte Carter gave an equally full and interesting resume of a lecture by Dr. B. W. Richardson, an English physician of note, upon "The action of Alcohol upon the Body." In connection with the Woman'sBoard of Missions they have secured the services of Miss Mary E. Green, of Makawao, a Lady thoroughly acquainted with the native people and language, who will devote her whole time to temperance and evangelistic work among Hawaiians. She will arganlee a Temperance Society among them, visit their homes, circulate the pledge, and endeavor in every way to awaken a public sentiment in the right direction among them, as well as to reach individual cases. She has already entered upon her work with enthusiasm, and finds much to encourage her. They have also standing committees upon the following departments of temperance work: Influencing the Press; Scientific Instruction ; Sunday Schools J Juvenile work; Temperance; Literature; Evangelistic work ; Prison and Police Station; Work among the Chinese; Work among Sailors; Music. The ladies feel thatthere is a great responsibility laid upon them as the only specifically temperance organization in a community which has such needs in this direction. And that their Society may not have only a "name to live," they ask the willing assistance and sympathy of all who are interested in righteousness and reform. EDITORIAL NOTES.

" " " Grover Cleveland was inaugurated Presidentof the United States March 4th. His inaugural address was not "brilliant," but what was much better, it was manly, straightforward, common-sense, and conservative. Taken in connectioon with his Warner letter," and his selection of Manning as Secretary of the Treasury, the new administration is fully committed against the folly of further coinage of 85-cent silver dollars, which the people do not want, and which are steadily piling up in the treasury vaults. On civil service reform the inaugural gives "no uncertain sound." The Cabinet, as a whole, is a good one j certainly since the days of Lincoln there has not been a stronger one. But the seclection of two members from the President's own State, and leaving the great Interior States without a representative, seems strange, to say the least. Grover Cleveland has the grandest opportunity, and the hardest battle before him, if he manfully attempts to fulfil the just expectations of the Nation, of any President sinceLincoln.

THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH. MARCH—AI'RIE. This month has been one of more than ordinary interest to us as a Church. On the evening of the 4th a business meeting was held, after the Monthly Concert, at which Mr. J. O. Carter, on behalf of the Committee, presented the Charter, which was approved; also a Constitution and Rules, which were discussed, and with a few changes, adopted. The following persons were elected officers: Trustees forone year : H. M. Whitney, H. A. Pannelee, B. F. Dillingham. For two years: J. O. Carter, S. M. Damon, T. (j. Thrum. For three years: S. E. Bishop, Robert Lewers, D. B. Petersmi. For members of the Standing Committee : W. Babcock and G. C. Lees. S. E. Bishop was appointed Scribe, and E. C. Damon, Treasurer. Deacons: Robert Lewers and D. B. Peterson, and Deaconesses: Mrs. S. C. Damon and Mrs. S. E. Bishop. A word about the Sunday School: The monthly Teachers' meeting proves to be of great helpfulness in the work. Mrs. E. C. Oggel has a Bible class for ladies, and Mr. J. E. Bidweli a class for young men. There is, it seems, a special interest now in the infant room, in behalf of which an entertainment will be held in the vestry on Tuesday evening, March The class of persons represented by the Index have a hell phobia. This is something very differ ivit from the serious, oilru and reverent fear of hell, such as the Bible enjoins and Christian men have, t'ne fear wbic'i the disbeliever feels is thai ol panic. This man believes that if there be a hell —and bell is a possibility—he is in great danger. Consequently, even the suggestion that there is one, startles him, and the startle is shown in his irritation and violent epithets. But the fear which the believer feels is tranquil, steady and intellt gent. * * * He is made solemn, and anxious, and thoughtful, but he does not lose his head. He proceeds to make preparation to meet the final judgment in the way that the very Being who will presideat that judgment has provided for him. Hell is like any other danger. To be forewarned is to be forearmed. In order to escape danger one must believe in it. Disbelief of it is sure destruction. Speaking generally, all who acknowledge a hell and fear it, will esc ipe it; and all who deny a 31st. hell and ridicule it, will fall into it.

We have seen no more glaring and lamentable instance of this than was given by Joseph Cook, in his prelude on Washingtou, England and America, delivered iv Tremont Temple, Boston Feb. 23rd. Not only was he unfair, but he came perilously near to being untruthful, in resorting to the dodge of stopping in the middle of a sentence, and shouldering upon his audience the responsibility which he dared not take himself.

Each pupil is under the best of influence. The attendance this year is 84 ; average attendance is 77. There is some religious interest. Scholars are learning exceedingly well. No sickness this term worth mentioning. All strangers remark the fine physical appearance of the scholars. Special attention is given to the thinking and reasoning faculties.

There have been put into the school moulding tables, to teach object lessons in geography and language, with good results. The school feel very much the need of an industrial building, for teaching carpentry, funds for which the Government should contribute, as much good would come by erecting such a building. Such an institution should not lack anything thatIs needed, for it has been abundantly proven that they are of great value to the Hawaiian. James A. Martin. The Rev. A. O. Forbes has been absent during the past three weeks in attendance on the semi-annual meetings of the two Associations of Hawaiian Churches on the Island of Hawaii. The Association of North and West Hawaii met at Waiohinu in Kau on Friday, March 6th, and closed its sessions on Saturday evening. Sunday was occupied with the examinations of the Sabbath Schools connected with the Churches of the Association. Theattendance was unusually large and enthusiastic, and the orderly conduct of the crowded audiences throughout the whole was worthy of all praise. The spirit manifested was excellent, and the impulse given to the work will, we doubt not, result in much good. There are sixteen Churches on the roll of this Association, embracing the districtsof Haraakua, Waimea, Kohala, Kawaihae, North and South Kona, and Kau. Seven pastors and thirteen delegates were present, and over two hundred delegates, superintendents, teachers and scholais from the various Sunday Schools. At "Hilo, the Association of East Hawaii met on the 10th of March, and concluded its sessions on the following day. This Association is at present much smaller than the other; its field embracing only the two districts of Puna and Hilo as far as Laupahoehoe. HILO. On Sunday, March Bth, Mr. John Lidgate of Laupahoehoe delivered a sermon on Little Things at the Foreign Church. On March 15th (Sunday) Rev. Arthur H. Smith, Mission of North China, occupied the pulpit of the Foreign Church, in which he spoke of God's calling His people and giving each work to do for llim. A very practical sermon, one of great benefit to all who love the truth; a sermon that will long be treasured by those who were favored to hear him. In the evening he delivered a lecture on China which interested all; his illustrations were excellent and caused some to smile considerably, which of course gave satisfaction, and each of the audience felt that they had received much instruction. Itis seldom that we get such a mass of information in a short hour.

Observer contains a considerable portion of Father Damon's valedictory when he entrusted The Friend to the present editors. Referring further on to the enlargement of his residence, But he has gone from the editors say: the scene of his earthly labors to dwell in that house not made with hands eternal in the heavens." In another article the editors give to their readers from the The Pacific Commercial Advertiser of this city an account of Dr. Damon's life and public services. Editorially the Observer says: Few men have been known more extensively or more favorably. Being stationed on one of the great highways of the sea, as a touching place for vessels from all parts, his influence was carried far and wide. The N. Y. Evangelist of March sth also contains a long and appreciative article on Dr. Damon. In the same number of the Observer, Rev. Dr. S. Irenaeus Prime pays his tribute of respect to the memory of our beloved and lamented Mrs. Lowell Smith He says: More than 50 years a missionary in Honolulu, the work of Foreign Missions has lost one of its noblest friends in the death of this accomplished woman. Her husband was a classmate of the writer of this notice. Mrs. Smith was a lady-of refinement and cultivation, fitted to adorn the best society, and able and willing to adapt herself to any company into which duty called her. Therefore as a missionary, a teacher, a friend, a wife and mother, she has exerted the happiest influence. Many of the '< first families at the Islands have had their children educated by her, and they rise up to bless her memory. Mrs. E. Throop Martin, of Auburn, N. V., was a friend of Mrs. Smith, and on hearing of her death she writes: < She was a woman of rare gifts and graces, and those who had the privilege of knowing her wonderful character will all unite in saying, Take her for all in all, we ne'er shall look upon her like again!' The correspondent who sends me the sad tidings says: < There was no valley of the shadow of death for our dear Mrs. Smith; she seemed like a tired child needing'rest and gradually falling asleep.' ****** "Thus has closed a beautiful life of missionary service. Mrs. Smith was very happy in her work. At the head of a fine school she exerted great influence. Her house was the resort of travellers and others who greatly loved to enjoy its hospitality. The corps of Christian laborers at the Islands held her in the highest esteem. The heart of her husband safely trusted in her. She did him good and not evil all the days of her life. She opened her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue was the law of kindness. A woman that feareth the Lord shall be praised." # The N. Y. Evangelist of March sth, " " " " ' contains an appreciative notice of Mrs. Ami.mi. Willis Smith, and her life work. Speaking of herdeath, the writer beautifully says: Gradually the "silver chord" was loosed; the keepers of the house trembled," and '.'those that looked out of the windows were darkened"; and then till that was mostal of one who had nobly borne her part iv life << put on " immortality." • THE WAR IN CHINA. BY REV. A. P. HAPPER,D.D. The origin, the object and the prospects of the wtir between France and China are but imperfectly understood by most persons outside of China. We have to prepare for our readers a condensed statement in reference to those points which we trust will help tliom to a clearer understanding of this matter, which is a subject of great, interest in itself, but which has a special interest from the fact that it is so intimately connected with missions in China. The war originated not beuause France had any complaint to make against China iv regard to anything, but it has arisen from France's desire to get possession of the countries of South-Eastern Asia. Having established a colony, of which Saigon was the capital city, France was desirous to annex other territory, and hence sought to take possession of the whole of the country between Saigon and the southern boundary of China proper, which is known by the name of Annum. The northern part of An nam is called Touquin. The French pVoposed to exercise a protectorate over Tonquin. One great object in seeking to get possession of this region was through it to get access to the south-western part of China. For the Red River, which is the largest river in Tonquin, rises in Annain, which is the south-western province of-China, and flows iv a south-eastern direction, draining the greater part of the whole district, and empties into the Gulf of Tonquin. To the east of its mouth lies the large and important island of Hainan. The French, through constraint, had obtained a cession of the protectorate from the King of Annum. But there was still the traditional suzerainty of China in the way. In 1883 the French Minister to the Pekin Court, Mr. Bores m.idea treaty with China, in which China consented to France having a protectorate of the most of Tonquin, leaving a tract of country between the part yielded to France and the southern boundary of China, which was to be regarded as neutral territory between the two powers. This treaty, which gained so much for France without any military force or the destruction of peaceful relations between the two Governments, was rejected by the French Government and the Minister recalled. This region was then held by a band of outlaws known as the Black Flags. They were a part of the forces of the Talping rebellion, which had tied from China to Tonquin and maintained themselves by plundering the peaceful people. After the rejection of this treaty the French- 7 attempted to get possession of the country by military force, and the Chinese (iovcrnuient encouraged the Black Flags (and perhaps aided them by sending men end war supplies) to hold the country against the French. There was desultory warfare up to May, 1884, when a convention was arranged by H. E. Li Hung Cluing and a representation of the French Government, in which China consented to France having a protectorate over Tooquln with various conditions and stipulations. This convention provided for the cessation of the war, and it was to be all arranged and settled by a formal treaty within three months. This satisfactory arrangement was set aside in a few weeks by the French because as they stated the Chinese had refused to give up some military posts held by them and had led the French army which had come to take possession of it into an ambuscade and fired upon it. That there was some fighting between the Chinese forces which held the position and the French forces which came to take possession is a fact. But it is not true that there was any ambuscade or treachery on the part ol the Chinese olHcers. The official report of the French Commander stated that he found a Chinese force in possession of the approaches to the post. The Chinese officer in charge stated that he had not received any authority yet from the Chinese Government to give up the post, but that if time was given to arrange the matter he would withdraw. The French officer replied that if he did not withdraw in one liour he would open Are upon the forces, and by reason of this the convention was set aside, and the French Government claimed an immense indemnity from the Chinese Government for the alleged treachery in the matter. The negotiations which were then commenced between specially appointed Chinese Commissioners and the new French Minister were not successful in arriving at any terms of agreement in regard to the indemnity as the Chinese utterly refused to admit that there was any ground of a claim for an indemnity. While these negotiations were still in progress some of the French vessels of war went into the Mm river up nearly to the city of Foo Chow. On the cessation of the negotiations their vessels of war, without any previous notice, attacked the Chinese gun boats lying in the river and the forts on the river and the large arsenal. After destroying all these the French fleet went, out of the river and attacked the fort on the N. E. corner of Formosa to get possession of the coal mines of Kilung, and get possession of the forts. This was in August of 1884. Since then warlike operations have been carried on in Formosa and in Tonquin as yet without desired results. What the result may be no human foresight can fortell. We feel assured thafHe who overrules all things, will overrule this war in China for the furtherance of His own glory. �Volume 43, No. 4 THE FRIEND. 8 "SAIL HO!"

The Upper Bethel of Now Orleans has just celebrated its seventh anniversary. The chapel was crowded with seamen and friends of seamen. Rev. Drs. Palmer, Markham, Flinn, and Rev. Dr. T. D. Witherspoon, of Louisville, Ky., and other ministers were present. This mission is under the charge of Dr. Witherspoon, the indefatigable and successful chaplain, -whose name is known over sea and land. At this meeting he read communications from emperors and empresses, kings and queens, princes and princesses, Presidents Arthur, Diaz and Barios, Mrs. Commodore Vanderbilt and many others showing their interest in the work. He then introduced his kinsman, Rev. Dr. T. D. Witherspoon, 'of Louisville, Ky., who said he had ceme from the foot of the limestone cliffs of Kentucky, from near the centre of population of the country, not to see the Exposition, but to see the friends and patrons of the Bethel. He must say, however, that he was surprised to see the extent of the Exposition and the evidences of its success, and wondered at the criticism of it which had been made by some. His friend, the Chaplain, had been raised a land-lubber, like himself, but had recently grown so much of a seaman that he looked upon the hills and cliffs of Kentucky merely as water sheds for the sea. It was of the knighthood of the sea that he proposed to speak. The address is reported to have been one of unusual merit and interest. We may be able to give it in a later issae. The closing part of it related to the possibilities which the life of a seaman presents for the spread ofChristianity. "It every seaman," remarked Dr. Witherspoon was a christian man, the church would have a band of missionaries which would soon convert the world." Well said, Bro. W. Another was inspired to put it thus: " Sailor loves the Gospel " IfHethewill tell the glorious news, joyful message important then to train him " How For so useful a career, And take the Wherever he may Bot if reckless, wild or vicious, When he visits foreign land*, He will fearfully obstruot tbe work Of missionary band*." He may help to spread the gospel In either hemisphere; If he nobly shows his oolonrs, Good example will prevail; He will pray for all his mess-mates And faith's prayer shall never fail." PORT OF ANTWERP, BELGIUM. As a commeVcial entrepot, the trade of the port of Antwerp has increased to an astonishing extent within the last few years, as shown by the following figures: —In 1809 the tonage of the port of Havre was 1,042,23(1; Of Hamburg 941', 154; of Rotterdam 878,889; of Antwerp 148,664; of Bremen 420,237; of Amsterdam 413,-780; of Dunkirk 279,144. Of all the notbern ports, therefore, Antwerp ranked fourth. Hut in 1882 it had so rapidly increased, owing to the improved harbor works and navigation of the Sheldt, and also to the greatly extended railway communication, that Antwerp has mounted to the top of the tree, and now stands first. The figures of 1882 show that the tonage of the port was 3,401,534, while thatof Hamburg was 3,030,909; of Havre 2,20(5,927; of Rotterdam S, 086,888; of Bremen 1,129,217; of Dunkirk 9:19,313; of Amsterdam 784,379 Chart and Compass, London, England. — The Chart and Compass of London reports the departure to the home above of another Chaplain. It says:—"The Rev. R. Byron fell asleep in Jesus at Antwerp, December 18th, 1884. The Lord has at last released him from pain and suffering and taken him to Himself. Antwerp, Dec. 18, 1884.

Forbes, Editor. TrMURI Auditor THE LICENSE QUESTION. Again all true friends of the Hawaiian nation are called upon to raise their voices in loud protest against an imminent danger. It is now proposed by the Government to open the flood-gates a step wider forthesaleof intoxicating liquors on these Islands, by granting licenses for such sale at principal poiids on each island of the group. We are glad to see that, with perhaps a single exception, all the papers published in this city are unanimous in their disapproval of this move. And more than that, we can tell His Majesty and his administration that all the lawabiding, right thinking people in the kingdom are united in their opposition to any such measure. All honor to Mr. E. Bailey and the citizens of Wailuku for the manly way in which they have spoken out. It but voices the feeling which Is ominously growing among ajl the better classes of the people. Who wants the increase of licenses to sell liquor? Not the merchants, not the ship-owners, not the inter-island steamer and schooner owners, not the planters, not the sober, thrifty, industrious mechanics and wageearners. All these are opposed to it. None of them have called for the issuing of such licenses. Why should they be granted? As a revenue measure? The veriest tyro in such matters shouldknow by this time from the statistics of crime and the concurrent testimony of the highest authorities in Great Britain and the United States, that every dollar of revenue so obtained will be offset more than ten times over by the increased cost to the kingdom of crime produced by the increased consumption of liquors. But we are told that the licensing of the liquor traffic will prevent in great measure the illicit sale of intoxicating liquors. So would the licensing of theft, arson and murder prevent the iUicit commission of those crimes; for of course, where an act is authorized by law it cannot be unlawful. But, says the license law, it is unlawful unless you pay for it The difference then, it seems, is not one of principle, but one of money. But facts have never yet proveu that the licensing of the liquor traffic does actually diminish the unlicensed sale of liquors, except where license is freely extended to every person who may wish to make money by the sale of liquor. A license at a few principal points only will do little to check it. We hardly think any one will venture the absurd plea that the amount of drink consumed, and the consequent amount of drunkenness, will be decreased by increasing the facilities for obtaining intoxicating liquors lawfully. Does the licensing of dry goods or hardware dealers tend to decrease the amount of those goods consumed? As well the one as the other. The fact is, the drinkers will purchase the drink at at any rate, whether lawfully or unlawfully; and the sellers will sell as long as there is anyone to sell to, whether lawfully or unlawfully. It will therefore require some other kind of law than a license law to restrict the consumption of liquors and consequent drunkenness. Mr. Ruskin fitly characterizes the whole business in the following words "The encouragement of drunkenness for the sake of the profit on the sale of drink is certainly one of the most criminal methods of assassination for money hitherto adopted by the bravos of any age or : country." ITEMS. One thousand copies of the "Lei Alii," a school song book with tunes, prepared a few years ago by Rev. L. Lyons, and published origin liy Mr. 11. M. Whitney, have been recei\cd. This second edition is published by the Hawaiian Board, the stereotpye plates and all rights in the lx>ok having been purchased by them a few months since. By the Morning Star the first shipment of the new Hawaiian 18mo. Bible has been received from the American Bible Society. It will be a great convenience to our ilawaiian Christians to have the Bible in a portable form. We regret that owing to want of time only 300 copies could be sent by the Star, as we have no doubt that 1,000 copies could have been disposed of. Letters received from Rev. R. Maka and Rev. J. W. Kanoa, our missionaries on Butaritari, state that a British vessel of war(name not given) arrived therelast July, and the commander instituted an inquiry into the murder of a Chinaman there which occurred in September, lss ;. One foreigner and three natives were accused, but no sufficient evidence being obtained, the foreigner and one of the natives were acquitted. The other two natives were banished to the little islet of Makin. Then the commander demanded the surrender of all the guns in ths hands of the people. More than a hundred guns were surrendered and thrown overboard by the ship of war in deep water. The commander seems to have been favorably impressed with our missionaries, and rather surprised to find Christianity the ruling influence on that island, where doubtless he expected to find, and a few years ago would have found, only cannibal savages. It should be recorded to his credit that he treated our missionaries very kindly, entertained them on board his vessel by invitation, attended their service on shore on Sunday, and finally gave a donation of twenty-five dollars to purchase a clock for their church. The Morning Star arrived here on the 15th of March, one hundred and thirty days from Boston, having been much delayed by calm weather and light battling winds in the Pacific. Notwithstanding a furious gale encountered within twentyfour hours after leaving Boston, which thoroughly tested her sett-going qualities, and did some damage to her upper works, she has turned out her cargo In excellent condition. We rejoice to welcome her to her work, and we extend our hearty congratulations to dipt. Bray on the prospect before him of enlarged usefulness and greatly increased comfort and safety to all on Ixiard by reason of her auxiliary screw. The exact date of her leaving has not yet been determined, but she will leave as soon as she can be got ready for her first year's work in Micronesia, which will be about the last of this month or the first of May. She is to be fitted out for a voyage of ten months, and after visiting all the mission .stations at present occupied in eastern and centrrl Micronesia, is expected to stretch her course to the westward as far as Yap, between eight and nine hundred miles farther west than Ruk. A little careful investigation of the census lately taken gives us some food for thought. According to these tables, the total number of aboriginal Hawaiians on these Ishuids, including half-castes, is 44,.'132. The total number* in 1878 was 47,508. The total decrease, therefore, during the past six years is 3,17(J, or 7.1(1 per cent. During the six years previons, we find on reference to the census of 1872 and 1878, the rate of decrease was 7.80 percent., which wits a diminution of 4.51 per cent, from the rate of decrease lietween 1866 and 1872. What do these figures indicate? We had hoped, almost against hope, that the cheering progress indicated by the census of 1878 would at least continue to 1884. The percentage of decrease had been diminished from 12.31 per cent, in 1872 to 7.80 per cent, in 1878; being an actual diminution of 4.51 per cent, in the rate. But we find that during the past six years the percentage of decrease has been from 7.80 ocr cent, in 1878 to 7.16 per cent, in 1884; being an actual diminution of only 0.11 per cent, in the rate. Comparing this with the 4.51 per cent. of actual diminution of rate in the previous period, we find that the percentage of decrease has risen 4.40 per cent during the past six yearn. This is a saddening fact. Will free liquor to Hawaiians, and Government aids to its sale in the shape of licenses check this downward tendency In the next six years? If not, what will? If anything is to be done to carry out in earnest the motto of Hooulu Lahui (increase the race), '''twere well 'twere done quickly." figures of the �THE FRIEND. 10 THE Y. M. C. A., HONOLULU, H.

The annual meeting of this Association, will be held April 10th. Judge Judd and W. A. Bowen, have been appointed a committee to make up nominations for the new year. We understand that there will be a complete change in the officers. This is as it should be. Others should be brought into active work of the Association. Mr. H. J. McCoy, General Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of San Francisco, accompanied by Mrs. McCoy, arrived in this city, March 23rd., for a three week's visit, returningon the 15th of this month. He comes as the guest of the Association and during his stay will do what Association work he can. He has been connected some 15 years with Y. M. C. A. work and evidently knows in a practical way what should be done. The evening of his arrival, he met members of the Association at the Hall, and gave a very practical and valuab c talk on the methods of work adopted by the San Francisco and other Associations. The work of the Y. M. C. A., he says is a definite work, ». c. to reach young men. The efforts of the Association should be concentrated on this line of work. It reaches after men not only religiously but mentally, socially and physically as well. Physically, through their Gymnasium, baths and other tike conveniences; mentally, through the educational classes to be found in every well organized Association. Socially through the entertainments and social gatherings and the fellowship of other members, and last but not least religiously through the meetings, and the Gospel of Christ, this being the main object for which the Association was formed and towards which all work should converge. The secular branch of the Association is what first attracts young men and pave the way for religious effort. Yet experience teaches that it is not sufficient to have a fine building and all the best of appliances and attractions. We may have all these, yet young men will not come in any numbers unless they are sought out and drawn in by personal efforts. The Y. M. C. A. building of San Francisco, is worth $130,000. They have a fine gymnasium, baths, reading rooms, the best lecture talent the Coast can afford etc., and everything practically free and yet even thenyoung men do not come until they are personally sought out and brought in. Another important branch of the work is to attend young men who are found sick. The 8. F. Association is in communication with all the reputable physicians and hotel clerks of the City, who are requested to notify Volume 43, No. 4 the officials of the Association of any during the year, an increase over the young man found sick in the city.

" " " " " �April, 1885. A BIRTHDAY LUAU. It is not often that the haole. is treated to a first-class luau, or alumina. In part because a thorough Hawaiian feast is becoming a thing of the past, and because that when such an affair is had the haole is not always present. The feast given on the spacious; back lot at Kawaifihuo Seminary a few days ago, in honor of the first anniversary of the birth of the son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Mahelona, was in all respects a first-class Hawaiian feast, and the large number of both Hawaiians and haoles present so thought, and evidenced their appreciation by the vigor with which they attacked the dainty and sometimes interesting viands. The feast was spread in a large lanai (or tent) not less than seventy-live feet wide and one hundred and fifty feet long. Across the westerly end stretched two long tables. At right angles to these four other longer tables extended up the tent. The easterly end was cut off by a room whence the smoking and delicious dishes from lime to time emerged. There was seating capacity for several hundred, and they were all there. The lanai was beautifully decorated in true Hawaiian taste with ferns, inaile, bunches of ieie and flowers. A single blue banner with a golden crown indicated where His Majesty the King should sit; and he presided there with royal affability and dignity. The occasion was also graced by the presence of Her Highness Princess Likelike and many of (Air leading citizensof many nationalities. The tables were waited ui>on by the girls of the school, all in white, with different colored ribbons for those attendant on each table. It made M exceedingly pretty scene. Those who were curious about Hawaiian cookery methods satisfied that curiosty by a visit to the rear of the tent, where a large smouldering lire burned. There they saw large rolls or bundles of the ti leaf, containing fish, young pig, or other tempting meats. Elsewhere whole pigs were slowly roasting, fowls and fish sent an appetizing odor into the air, and before the welcome signal to rally round the table came, all felt—if they did not say—that they were in a «ondition to eat a whole ox. About half-past twelve His Majesty seated himself. He was quickly followed by the crowd, and the feast began. Of course poi was everywhere; fresh poi, sour poi, in bowls, on plates and in calabashes. There was fresh bread, but no butter, for that forms no part of such a feast; baked kalo and huge sweet potatoes; koele palau, cooked sweet potatoes, cocoanut grated mixed with the milk; kulolo, kalo and cocoanut grated and mixed, then baked, making a most delicious pudding ; tuau, boiled young kalo leaves, a "green"; limu lipoa and limu kola, sea mosses or sea-weed; roasted kukui nuts but not grated, in which form it is called inamona, and other dainties.

We give up this number of Tin; PaUJUfO almost exclusively to the memory of Rev. Samuel Oiik nicks Damon, 1). 1)., and Mrs. Ami;am, Willis Smith. Upon these new-made graves, with tearfllled eyes and loving hands, we wish to place our tribute of love. Wk never could understand how the disfiguring a paper by turning column rules on the death of an editor came In be considered necessary as an expression of grief. We believe Dr. Damon would not wish Tiie'Fhiknj> to follow this custom. We prefer to express our sense of loss and grief in a different way. The family of the late Dr. Damon desire through our minimis to acknowledge the receipt of many letters from absent friends expressive of sympathy and condolence, which are highly appreciated, and for which they tender sincere thanks. The ruling passion: "I trust you are pleasantly impressed, Mr. Bala, with our unique little city?" "Very much so! at least three coluinns-and-a-half. By the last mail comes the sad news of the death in the United States of two of our csteamed islanders, viz: Mr. Chas. Alexander, formerly of Makawao, and Mr. William Lydgate, formerly of Laupahoehoe, Hawaii. We extend our sympathies to their bereaved friends. Just now we are having a feast of good things in the way of lecture's by distinguished gentlemen from abroad. Gen. Van iiuren told us about "Japan and the Japanese;" last night Prof. Agassi/,, the distinguished son of a distinguished father, gave a very instructive lecture; and Prof. Waylandand Rev. R. McKenzie are announced for lectures in the future. A PitiVATE letter from Mrs. Hampson, dated San Jose, Cal., Feb. 9th, contains many loving remembrances of Christian workers here in Honolulu. She was to begin Evangelistic work in San Jose, Sunday, Feb. 15th.

Maui has enjoyed a refreshing whiff from the outer religious world in the presence of two live ministers, llov. It. Mackenzie, a live pastor from San Francisco, and Rev. A. 11. Smith, from the North of China. In exchange for the scenery of our mountains and valleys they gave us wortls of counsel and cheer on the Sabbath ; and we are none the losers by the bargain, for their words remain with us, —anil so also do the mountains and the valleys. Mr. Smith preached at Makawao, showing by his apt illustrations and ready tongue that even thirteen years' contact with the sleepy Chinaman and his incomprehensible language could not becloud his intellect or liefog his speech. Mr. Mackenzie preached in Wailuku, much to the satisfaction of the people there, who have been some months without preaching. While in Makawao he gave an interesting talk to to the native girls at the Seminary. He seemed to be greatly Interested in the Work done there, and has promised to furnish money for the support of one Of the girls. The increasing attendance at the Makawao Church on the Sabbath is certainly encouraging, especially when it is remembered that there is hardly a house within walking distance, and a large proportion of the congregation have to come from three to six miles to attend service. Effort is being made, with .some success, to interest and bring In the Norwegian element. Now that they are mastering the English language they can understand something of the preaching, and take a part in the Sabbath School where a class has boon torined for them. A new feature of the Sabbath service Is a five minute sermon for the children, precedding the regular sermon. 8. S. �THE FRIEND 4 SAMUEL CHENERY DAMON. EDITORIAL TRIBUTE. is He not dead. We refuse to let our thoughts rest upon the pall, the grave, and the lifeless form already touched by decay. Why should one, when standing on some lofty height keep his thoughts fixed on a withered leaf, a blighted branch, or a lightning-riven tree, when a magnificent country, rich in colors, varied in scenery, clad with lieauty as a garment, and reaching so far that imagination fails to follows, awaits the uplifting of his eyes? This not is not Death, it is Hirth. It is not Night it is the ruddy blaze of Morning. It is not rest even: it is new strength, and power, and a new and endless period of activity. The immortal, grand, good man has simply stripped himself of bur- densome garments, and bounded beyond our sight. - "Hast thou not .rliin |,s.■ -. in the twilight here, Ol mountains where immortal mom prevails?

Aye. But our hearts are full of tears, for they are very human. At Daniel Webster's funeral, a farmer-neighbor, stood with tear-iilled eyes looking into the strong face, and with choked voice said: "The world will be very lonesome without you, Daniel!" Honolulu will be "very lonesome without you," Dr. Damon! We loved this strong man, and he was worthly of it. Other pens have written worthy tributes to his memory. It remains only for us to speak of him in two relations, personal to ourselves. For three years, and more, the writer of this article worked with Dr. Damon, as pastors of sister Churches. Dr. Alexander used to say to the young men of his classes, "The bestting sin of the Of this there was ministry is envy." not an atom in Dr. Damon's great heart. During all the three years and more of our intimate work together there was never a hint of that narrow, grasping, "will- it-build- up-my-Church?" spiiit shown by him, which so often mars the characters of otherwise goes! and able men. He was larger than any church or creed. His tirst thought was, "What will best further the cause of Christ, and help humanity to nobler lives?" It was Christ, and man, first, and self second, If at all. It follows, of course, that in all the intimate blending of our work, there was never the shadow of discord, or want of harmony, hut always the fullest and heartiest sympathy and co-operation. The time came when Dr. Damon saw that it was best for the cause he loved, and also for himself, to transfer his work to other hands. There can be no severer test of the character of a man than the spirit in which he surrenders place, and Volume 43, No. 3 influence, and power, and stands aside, by Rev.

I shall not forget to pray for you, that God will bless you in it!" We feel the pressure of his hand still, and his prayer lingers as a benediction. What a grand man he was. How like a father he was to us younger pastors! How we miss him! Is it any wonder that we plod along like footsore and weary children, and forgetting the unalterable joy and blessedness and gain which is his, would fain bring him back, because we do not wish to be left alone? But it will not be long, this separation. Soon the work of us all will be done. Then we, too, will be "unclothed, that we may be clothed upon." When Mary saw the shrouding lying folded away in the sepulcher, she said at once. "The Master has risen!" And when she and the disciples saw Him, it was not the sorrowing Jesus, but the serene, effulgent God. "When we see Him we shall belike Him." THE SEAMAN'S FRIEND. Rev. Samuel Chenery Dauioii, after the short but severe illness ander which ho has suffered for the past few weeks, died on Saturday, February 7th, at 6:''s p. m. He had boon unconscious since the previous Wednesday, at which time he rallied slightly aud bade his family an affectionate farewell. The immediate cause of his death was inflammation of the brain. The funeral service took place on Sunday afternoon, the Bth from the Bethel Union Church, which was packed to standing room by those desirous to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of one who has gone in and out so prominent ly among this people for over forty years. King Kalakaua, Governor and Mrs. Dominis, Ministers Gibson, Neumann and Gulick were present. The Trustees of Oahu College attended in a body. Rev. E. C. Oggel, assisted by Revs. J. A. Cruzan and S. E. Bishop conducted the services, which were touching and impressive. Loving hands had arranged many floral tributes and emblems; anchors, crosses and wreaths decorated both pulpit aud coffin. At the close of the service the coffin was opened to allow friends to view the remains as they passed out by the King street gate. At the grave the services were conducted ing newspaper in the Pacific. He visited Oregon and California in 1849; the United States in 1851; Micronisia in 1861, per Moriiiiiy Star as delegate of the Hawaiian Board; Europe, Palestine and Egypt in 18G9-70; the United States in 1876; England and the Continont in 1880, and China and Japan in 1884. One year ago, before sailling for China, feeling the advance of age, Dr. Damon tendered his resignation of the Bethel pastorate, to take effect on his 70th birthday, and the duties of that position were assumed last August by the Rev. E. C. Oggel. At the close of 1884, after forty years editorship, Dr. Damon also transferred The Friend to Mossrs Cruzan and Oggel. He still felt strong aud active, and looked forward to many years of useful labor among seamen and others. Ho was engagod in superintending the completion of alterations and enlargement of his dwellinghouse, for the accommodation of his son, when his last illness unexpectedly prostrated him. Although not directly engaged in work for non-Christiun peoples, Dr. Damon's aims and sympathies were pre-eminently missionary. His chief thoughts and desires were supremely and enthusiastically for the ascendancy of the Lord Christ over all men, and the blessings of His reign to them. No subject so aroused his enthusiasm as that of missionary progress. His happiest public efforts were historical reviews of missionary work in the Pacific. He was well known as a successful speaker on missionary platforms in England and America. In his extensive travels his highest interest was in visiting and inspecting missonary stations. He had visited the principal stations in Syria, Egypt, China and Japan, where ho was a welcome and most inspiring guest. Of lato years he had become profoundly interested in evangelistic labors- among the Chinese in these islands. He was thoroughly convinced that there was no place in the world so favorable for effectively reach.ng the Chinese with Christ's Gospel as Honolulu. It was very much through his father's influence that Mr. Frank W. Damon became actively aud successfully employed for three years past as missionary of the Hawaiian Board to the Chinese in these islands. Dr. Damon's eminent practical business and financial aptitudes made him prominent in counsel for good works. Besides the chief management of theSailor'sHome, and of the Stranger's Friend Society, ho had from the beginning been a leading member of the Board of Trustees of Oahu College and of the Queen's Hospital, also of the Hawaiian Board of Missions. In all these departments, the loss of his wise counsel will be deeply felt. Dr. Damon was widely read in general literature. The writer lately found him �5 THE FRIEND.

A good breadth of robust manliness, a transparent since rity, with a sagacious beneficence of purpose commended for him universal conti dence and honor.

No cause of which He is the leader can fail of ultimate triumph. Dr. Damon received a pirt of his education for his life work at Amherst College, Mass. He was a graduate of the class of 18MG. In that class appear the names of men illustrious ia the professions of their choice. Among these are the late exGovernor Uulln :k; Judge Chits. Hut bins Doolittle; Dr. R. D. Hitchcock, of the Union Theological Seminary, New York City; Dr. Stuart Robinson of Kentucky, and Dr. B. M. Palmer, the celebrated preacher of New Orleans, La. In college with hii.i were also the Rev. Dr. R. S. Slorrs and the Rev. Henry Ward Beechor, both of Brooklyn, N. Y. With these and many other men of reputation Dr. D.imon has had a delightful corrosp in.lence in after years. He entered ujion his theological course at Princeton Seminary, N. J., in 1838, and finished the course at Andover, Speaking of Princeton, Miss., in 1841. it is proper to mention here that all through his life Dr. Damon spoke with great enthusiasm of Dr. Addison Alexan ler. Edmund Burke once said that his life might bo bestdivided into fits or manias; tbihi • soul would launch out in hi one lit and be succeeded by a mania for some other thing. It was not so with Dr. Damon. He entered on the career of his life, not only with a definite aim, but with the highest passible purpose. As in different ages Augustine and Milton, Galileo and Martin Luther were called of God to their several tasks, so was Dr. Damon directed to preach the gospel of Jesus. His father, who was a capable business man, had designed his son also lor business, but Dr. Damon on his knees consecrated himself to the missionary work and in after years called this his second conversion. He was ordained to the Gospel minis, try, Sept. 15, 1841. He was married to Julia Sherman Mills, Oct. 6, 1841, his faithful aud loving companion till God took him. �6 It was in his mind, utfelar the auspices of the American Bo ird to carry the glad tidings to India anil to this end he had already begun the study of Tamil, but owing to the ill health and subsequent doatli at sea of the Rev. John Diell, the first chaplain at this port, Dr. Damon was transferred from the American Board to the American Seamen's Friend Society as Seamen's Chaplain for Honolulu. Dr. and Mrs. Damon arrived here on the IMb. of October, 1842, and until bis departure to the heavenly land, this has been his home and the field of his labors. As his chaplaincy, under the auspices of the parent society In New York, has been the great work of Dr. Damon's life, it is proper that on this oi'casion I should speak particularly of his labors in this direction. He began Ins efforts for the temporal and spiritual welfa.eof the sons of the ocean in his young manhood. 1 confess my Inability to tell you of all that he has done for seafaring men in these more than forty years. At this time, when eompanitively few seamen enter this jKirt, we, and especially those of us who have come here recently, can form no idea of a chaplain's work during the first twenty years and more of Dr. Damon's labors. 1 quote the following from his jubilee sermon: "During the years intervening between 1842 and 1807, at the lowest estimate 6,000 annually entered this port, and some years many more. The Rev. S. E. Bishop reports from .'l,llllO to 4,00(1 visiting Lmaina; the Rev. Titus Coan reports nearly the same number as visiting Hilo, while at Honolulu we were visited by 142 whaleships. I recollect one Sunday morning over thirty rounded Diamond Head, sixteen vessels of war, besides all the merchant vessels, and there could not have been less than 10,000 seamen during the year in the port of Honolulu." "During thc.se years," says Dr. Damon, "my labors were abundant, and sometimes beyond my strength." And though he went not to India, he carried out in the best sense the great commission, "Go preach the Gospel to c verycreature;" for in his distribution of Bibles and papers and tracts, in various languages, he came in contact with officers aud men of every land and clime. And here 1 Would remark what a blessing of God is the printing press, by which, as ou the Pentecostal day, we can reach the people of all lands, aud give them the Word of God and the knowledge of salvation through Jesus in their own language. 1 said 1 could not tell the extent of Dr. Damon's work for seamen. No, unfriends, I could not, even if I had accurate and complete statistics of every one of the forty-two years of his labors. Dr. Damon himself could have no adequate conception of it And this because of the multiplying and expanding power of the Gospel of Jesus. For the sermon preached and the word spoken for the Master is like sowing a THE FRIEND. seed that tiears abundant fruit, not in one life, but in many lives. Hence the glory of Dr. Damon's work through these? many years. Look back and see him, a young, earnest man, devoted to Jesus and his life-work. There ho goes, carrying hisjiusket full of the broad of life. As he visits one vessel after another, he scatters words of kindness like rain-drops. With one be leavss a Bible, with another n tract, that tells the old, yet ever new story of Jesus, and with others a FKiF.Nii, and a.s they read on the wide waters, there conic to them the memories of early teachings and a mother's prayers and perchance a prayer of their own for acceptance with Cod. And these in their turn speak a word and put the tract or thk fkif.nd in other hands, and so the work of one man has widened«from year to year and from land to land. Who of us can tell how many Simla he has touched, or what the harvest foi him shall be? My friends, not here, but with G<*fl it is known. Thus has he toiled, in closest sympathy with his Divine Master, who Identified Himself with sailors and ships, whom the sailor needs for salvation, and who in turn needs the ship and the seaman to carry His Gospel to all lands. Gladly would I dwell longer on this part of his work, so dear to him while But 1 must allude briefly to he lived. his other lalmrs. Of thk friend, a monthly publication devoted to the highest purposes, he was editor and publisher from 1843 until near the close of his life. Freely has it been circulated, and it has gone to all lands. During these years Dr. Damon has been the pastor of this church, and no tongue can tell to how many souls from this pulpit he has offered the bread and water of life. For the period of ten years, from 1842 to 1852, he was sole pastor among foreigners in Honolulu, both residents and seamen. In last year's report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association it is said of him: ."His labors in the Bethel Union Church, as well as in the chaplaincy for seamen, and the editorship of thk FiHKNii newspaper, are for him M enduring monument, and are a part of the history of this Hawaiian Kingdom." It was during the years of his greatest activity that he had the Sailor's Home built, which ever since, has served to meet the wants of seamen visiting these islands, and where not only the temporal hut also the spiritual needs of men have constantly been attended to. Besides these Dr. Damon sustained His name other important relations. was identified with the causes of education, philanthropy and religion. His pen, his voice and his purse have been willing servants to elevate the mind, alleviate distress, and to bless mankind with the light and glory of the Gospel. During his period of service here he traveled at different times abroad. His Volume 43, No. 8 travels embraced the United States, Europe, Egypt, Palestine, China and Japan. He visited the Micronesian Islands as delegate from the Hawaiian Missionary Board. He went In the Morning Star, and subsequently published the "Morning Star Papers," of the highest value to all lovers of missions. The anticipation and the visit afforded him much gratification. In the preface to these papers he says: "Long before the establishment of the Mission had we conversed with shipmasters ami sailors alxiut these comparatively unknown regions." Again: "In imagination we pictured many a pleasant day's sail along the shores of islands decked in the rich and gorgeous drapery of the tropics, and the bright fancies of the imagination have been realized." Through all these years Dr. Damon has conducted an extensive correspondence. To this he attended in the early hours of the day. His letters went to many lands and to people of every class. Thus the same mail would carry letters to scholarly men in Europe and America, to English missionaries throughout all tho islands of the South Seas, anil to anxious mothers in Massachusetts and other States, carrying answers to inquiries about their sons. The honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred on Dr. Damon by his alma mater in 1868; as one of our publications remarks, "a title well earned and worthily bestowed." In the latter years of his life he manifested a deep interest in the Chinese, and was anxious that they should be reached by the uplifting and saving influences of the Gospel. Dr. Damon presented his resignation as pastor of this church just a year ago, intending it should take effect this day, which, had he remained with us, would have been the seventieth anniversary of his birth. His design, however, was to continue his fellowship with us and to work for the Master. He said: "This decision, to resign the pastorate, I do not consider as affecting my position a.s Chaplain of the American Seamen's Friend Society, neither do 1 wish it to be understood that I cease my labors in Honolulu for the good of my fellow men. If God shall spare my life, I shall hope to return from China, and labor with you for years vo come, in the upbuilding of Christ's kingdom on these islands, it no longer as your pastor, then as your fellowluliorer in the closest bonds of Christian fellowship and love. But "God took him" before his pastorate ended, and the faithful servant has gone to his reward on high. He leaves behind, to cherish the memory of his loving nature, cheering presence and thoughtful interest in them, a wife and three sons with their families, respected by this community, and who now have the sympathy of all in their sore bereavement. In this tribute to the memory of Dr. �Damon we have not attempted to exhaust his life's work. A life so abundant in labors will furnish memories and teachings as the days go on, as God paints different pictures on the earth and ever new ones on the evening sky. But we are satisfied if we have succeeded in showing that Dr. Damon "walked with God." We say to young men: Look at this life of Dr. Damon, from his youth until the evening of the day when God took him; and as you compare it with the life of the man who has lived for the world and self, whose is to la' most envied and which shall be your model ? O, then, choose rightly and wisely. Dear friends, as we look at the grandeur of Dr. Damon's work, we are filled with gratitude to God. We cannot all attain his years, lint we may all live in followship with God, sow the seed, and work while the day lasts. Then "at evening time it will be light," and hereafter we shall forever dwell in the presence of the Lord and the glorified saints in that ideal land— '* Where dear ties are never severed; Parting., clasping, soli und moau, Hldoljrnt wakiue. twilight weeping, Heavy nooulfefe—ull are done; Where we fine! the Joy of loving, As we never loved before — Lovliitron. mi. hilled, unhindered.

Can we not say of him: <He Was a good man and a just, full of the Holy Ghost and of faith, and (through him) much people was added unto the Lord?' The work that he has done will lie gratefully remembered by all classes of Christians, by the stranger, especially, by 'them that go down to the sea in ships and occupy their business in great waters.' He is at rest. We doubt not but that he has overcome by the might of Him who called him to His service and to him shall be given to eat of the hidden manna which is in.the midst of the Paradise of God. His life is calling us with persuasive voice to follow the Son of God in cheerful, noble duty and in devotion to His service. His death is calling us, by its unexpected coining and by his readiness to go when the Master came. 'Be ye also ready."' RESOLUTIONS OF THE HAWAIIAN BOARD. God, in His wise providence, has recently removed from among us, to a better service on high, a beloved member of our Board, Rev. S. C. Damon, D. D. He had been in active membership ever since its organization in 1803, and nearly all this time in some position of special responsibility. In 1864 he was elected Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Missions, and was annually elected for five years. From June 1868 he was our Vice-President. In 1870 he was made Chairman of the Committee on Publication, and served in this cajiacity for nine years, seeking by his counsels to forward the publication of a Christian literature in the various dialects of the North Pacific. In 1881 In; was chosen as Chairman of the Committee on Home Missious, and held this position until the day of his death. Without doubt, our brother attended more meetings of the Board during these last twenty-one years than any other member whatever, and it will be long before we shall cease to miss his genial face in our deliberations respecting the work of the Lord in these islands of the sea All who have read Dr. Damon's "Morning Star Papers," written while he was a Delegate of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association to Micronesia in 1861, will hot need to be reminded how sincerely he'desired that "the Isles should wait for the Messiah's law," and how he returned from his tour of inspection with a heart filled to overflowing with the missionary spirit, and with a bright hope of the speedy coming of the Kingdom in those dark lands. How often since then, in our meetings has his face brightened as he listened to the report of the success of some distant missionary in Micronesia, sometimes- interupting to ask for the name of man or place that he might more vividly locate the scene of the triumph among the heathen he had once visited. Who of his associates can ever forget his unceasing interest in the evangelization of the Chinese who have come to our shores, his earnest presentation of their great spiritual wants, and of their claims upon us for tho Gospel ? Few of any am ing us have seemed to realize the magnitude of these claims as he did. Whenever we hear the sweettoned bell of the aeal Chinese Church on Fort street calling these strangers among ns to the worship of Sehovah, let us be reminded of that good friend of the Chinaman, who was indefatigable in his efforts until that chaste spire, pointing to tho better land, had been completed, and a comfortable audience room provided for their accommodation. As we see our brother's son, with full consecration, moving among these Chinese heathen, who swarm our streets, and seeking to lead them to the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world, let memory turn to our departed friend, with the thought that tho mantle of the the father has fallen on his child, and with David let us sing, Instead of thy father's shall be thy children." In view of the loss which our Board has sustained, Resolved, That we will cherish the memory of our Brother as one faithful unto death. Resolved, That the tender sympathy of this Board be extended, in this time of sorrow and loneliness to the bereaved help-meet of our Brother who, for so many years, baa been his constant and ever present sharer in his labors of love among the friendless and destitutestrangers from every land ; and to the children now mourning the loss of a beloved and honored father. Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent to the family of Dr. Damon, and that they !>e published in The Friend, a paper ever to be associated with his name. 11. Binuham, Com. Attest: A. O.

John 14:3—"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." This blessed promise of our Saviour has been fulfilled to all his beloved children from that day to this. The mansions—the abiding places—in our Heavenly Father's house are many; enough for each one, and our blessed Saviour has a mansion prepared for each one, ready and waiting for each occupant in glory. His own hands of infinite love and tenderness have prepared those mansions, not in a general and indefinite way, but with special reference to each individual. "The Lord knoweth them that are his." "He calleth his own by name, and leadeth them out," even as the shepherd does his sheep. The comings of Christ to His own are not one, or two, but many; and the sweetest, most joyful coming is when he comes to receive them to himself. Our Saviour loves to lie with His children and to have them with Him. Thus it is that he would have us walk with Him and live in Him while in this world, in order that we may dwell with Him and reign with Him forever In the heavenly home. He has gone to pre- pare us each a place for this very purpose. "That where I am, ye may be also." Ho has called home another of His dear ones, and to-day we pay our part ing tribute of affection to her memory. She was so well know to you all, her whole life was so much a part of this community, that it would lie superfluous for me to dwell particularly on all its lalxirs for the good of those with whom she came in contact. It was a life consecrated to the Master's service, for the good of the Hawaiian nation, and there are doubtless here present many of the younger generation who feel to-day that they have lost a true and devoted mother in her departure from earth. For fiftytwo years has she given "her strength, her timo, her heart's best love to the Hawaiian people and to the upbuilding of the Redeemer's Kingdom in these islands. A whole generation has passed and nearly another, and she has been permitted the joy of seeing this nation coming out of the darkness and degredation of heathenism, and rising steadily into the light and the privileges of Christian civilization. But to-day I look around upon this great audience and ask where are those who were among the early fruits of her labors? Where are the old chiefs, whore the good old men who in firmer years received instruction and Christian'light and help under her teahings, and were co-workers with her In all that was good? Alas, how few remain! Gone—all gone, except here and there a solitary one! Gone before! And now she has gone to meet them in the light and the glory of that heavenly home of which she so often told them here below, and concerning which she so often held sweet counsel with them. But two short years ago, she was permitted the rare privilege of celebrating her golden wedding, amid the congratulation of children and grandchildren, and many friends.' To-day she treads the streets of the "great city, the New Jerusalem," that city of "pure gold, like unto clear glass," where earth's dross and rubbish and alloy have all been demised away, and only the pure gold of the redeemed and sanctified nature can be permitted to enter. Her life work was well finished. She dropped in the harness. But two short weeks ago, she visited the Lunalilo Home, and her life-long love for the Hawaiian people, and interest in their welfare was greatly roused, as she-said, "Ah here is my remaining work, to do good to these aged and feeble ones"; and her soul rejoiced in prospect of that work. A day or two after, she at tended a meeting of the Women's Board of Missions for the Pacific, of which she was president. Then it was that for the first time her physical powers failed her, and that was her lastofficial service. Two days later, she attended a meeting of the newly organized Women's Christian Temperance Union, but was obliged to 9 leave liefore the close. A few days more of quiet, appearently painless, gentle slumbering away of life, and she slept sweetly in Jesus. She was not, for the Lord came and took her to himself. And to-day we look on her face and say, "Farewelldear mother." As one after another of the aged fathers and mothers who have led this Hawaiian nation through the tottering steps of its infancy up to its present position pass away, we cannot resist the feeling of national bereavement in their departure. An orphaned people may well mourn the loss as they step through the open door in answer to the Master's call, and enter the mansions waiting for them, leaving to us the priceless legacy of their example, and the testimony of their lives to the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the regeneration of our humanity. MRS. SMITH AS PRESIDENT OF THE WOMAN'S BOARD. Mrs. Smith's connection with this Board began with its beginning in 1871. The first year she was the First VlceProsident. The second year she was the Home Secretary. The third year she was again appointed First Vice-President. But when Mrs. Bingham returned to Micronesia in the summer of 1878, Mrs. Smith succeeded her as President of the Board, a position which she has most acceptably and faithfully filled for And her chair nearly twelve years. was almost never vacant. With the exception of an absence of three months, while visiting the Coast in 1878, she was never more than once or twice detained from attending our meetings. Even feebleness and suffering which would have disablad most of us, never kept her "Oh yes, I shall be from her post. there," she would say; "I have kept quiet for several days, so that I could go to the Board meeting." There was never any discussion during all these twelve years, as to who should be our next President; Mrs. Smith, of course, was the first and only choice of every one of us. This Society was the child of her advanced years, and in a very special sense the child of her love. While never neglecting in any degree, Church or Sabbath School work, or any benevolent work or labor with the natives, as her strength would permit, it was perhaps, as President of this Board that she was best known and loved by the Christians of Honolulu ; and this was the Missionary work to which she devoted the last years of her life. She was always and InThe cause to tensely a Missionary. which she early gave her life, held ever the first place In her love, and she counted It a privilege and a joy that she was thus able, in this public position, to carry on this work, which otherwise advancing years might have Impeded. Mrs. Smith was a person of great sympathy; and this, combined with her devotion to God's cause, gave her a love for all those engaged In God's work, �which overbalanced all other considerations. It gave her an especial love for all Missionary workers, who were almost more than brother and sister to her. We must all remember with pleasure the tender reception which she gave our Mlcronesian Missionary, Miss Palmer, last summer. In the name of the Woman's Board, I extend to you a glad and loving welcome. You shall have u daughter's, a sister's place in our hearts always. Give yourself to us. Confide In us with a daughter's freedom, antl we promise you all the love and aid and spmpathy it is in our power to bestow." Wo have reason to be thankful that our loved President was permitted in the last year of her life, to see this ardent wish of many years accomplished, and to thus bestow her blessing upon a Missionary of our own, going to that distant " field. Volume 43, No. 3 THE FRIEND. 10 Mrs. Smith was naturally prompt and methodical. She was always among the first to arrive at each meeting, and she rarely overlooked or forgot anything which should come l>efore us. As we came in one by one, and sat down before her, how her tlear face would beam upon each of us ! It was so plain that she had come straight from the great Fountain of Love! And as she opened with reverent hand God's word, and spoke to Him in prayer, we knew that it was only a continuation of the communion with Him which had filled her soul in preparing for the meeting. It was this intimate union of her soul with God, this habit of her life of taking all her wants to Him, and accepting His guiding, which made her the successful leader and the tender mother to us all, which she was. She was strong in faith. Perhaps we none of us realize how much we owe as a society, for the many works of bonevolence we have been able to assist, to her never-failing faith. If the object was worthy, she always knew that we could raise the money to aid it; and she often thus led us with her faith where few of us would otherwise have ventured. Mention has been made in another place, of how, several years ago, when the thought of a new Morning Star, with steam attachment, was first spoken of, while some of us were inclined to think that could never be, Mrs. Smith said: "Oh yes, we shall certainly have it—we must pray for it till we get it" Her active mind and ready wit, were particularly advantageous to her in conducting our meetings. How quickly she grasped a point, and saw in it all its bearings 1 How readily she met a thought of discouragement with some word of cheer 1 How quick she was to catch some bright thought, and reflect its light over all of us I The dullest of us could not be very dull in her bright presence. And so our meetings have always been entertaining and cheerful and social, and there has never been any of the stiffness and shrinking from "speaking in meeting," which have so frozen many meetings of the kind which we have been wont to attend In other places. These Board meetings have been schools to some of us, which she, our teacher, never dreamed of. Not the least of those traits of diameter which made Mrs. Smith so loved and acceptable a.s President of this Board, was her intense motherliness. She has said of herself that the strongest passion of her nature was her love of children. And this love extended to all over whom she was placed in miy position. Hhe seemed by right, to lie our hfd, not only by her superior years, but still more by her great motherly nature. How she took us all into her loving heart! How appreciative she was of any effort we ever made, esi>ecially in any branch of the Lord's work ! How cheering her words of sympathy were, and how her warm approval encouraged us! Yes Her kind look and nod, and dear !" How we sh.dl miss them—how we do miss them to-day ! We stretch out our hands as did Elisha toward the ascending prophet, and cry with tears "Oh, my mother! my mother!" and like Elisha, we each one pray most earnestly—" Let a double portion of thy spirit be upon mcV M. L. Whitney. " — MRS. SMITH AS A TEACHER. From the time my baby fingers could point out round O, I have always thought of Mrs. Smith as teacher, and guide, as well as friend. Seven of us, her pupils in times past, walked the old familiar way down Judd's hill, —but from her grave, instead of the schoolroom door, —and spoke of the strangeness of it all. Our old teacher's long labor of love ended, and the busy hands for the first time at rest. Some of us grown into womanhood, with life's duties and trials upon us, some still in school—all, thinking not only of school lessons, (those firm foundation stones in the "temple of knowledge" for the laying of which she was so often and so justly praised)—but also of the earnest life lessons. As tenderly as she taught the baby lips to say their A. B. C.'s, just so patiently and tenderly she led tho baby feet along the "narrow way." Every quarrel on the play-ground, every lesson and song, all made to tench in some form, "the old, old story." Thirty-two years of teaching given to us Island children. Some of us were her pupils for ten, and twelve years, and upon her golden wedding, came loving words of greeting and gratitude, from far and near—across the seas, and beyond the mountains—each one written by a former pupil. Truly, we thought, as we heard them tell of her good works, these consecrated years of teaching, were among the most blessed, and only God can measure the abundance of the harvest, as children's children shall scatter broad-cast, the seed of her sowing. As we looked at her lying calm in death, after her faithful stewardship— her life with its bitter and sweet," its many hard trials, and its pleasant places, ended forever-—came thoughts of what she had awakened to, out of that sleep. Was she sitting at Jesus's feet, as we sat ut hers, learning glorious lessons of life eternal 1 Yes, I like to think so. And, our dear old teacher, though your lioys and girls will never have your loving greeting or word of sympathy again, we are glad you are at rest. And because you have fallen asleep in Jesus," we will strive more earnestly to follow your teachings, and be Christian men, and women. So that it may be said of us, as it is of you—•" Well done good and faithful servant." "He that goeth forth with weeping, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with Nellie E. Fuller. him." " MRS. SMITH'S CONNECTION WITH THE STRANGERS' FRIEND SOCIETY. Among tho various forms of Christian work which have occupied the life of our gifted friend, none perhaps interested her more than that connected with the Strangers' Friend Society. Formed as it was at a time when imperative need called for some organization by which the destitute strangers thrown upon our shores could be systematically cared for, her ready sympathies responded to the call. She was present at the first gathering ; accepted the office of Secretary, and acted in that capacity to the close of her life, a period of thirtytwo years. In this as in every branch of her work she truly obeyed the Master's injunction, Occupy till I come." During these latter years, Mrs. Smith has been mote actively engaged in the details of the society work than earlier, when schtxil and family duties pressed more closely. The hospital, the sick bed and the resort of the degraded, can all testify to her faithful zeal ane indefatigable effort to relieve distress, succor the helpless and reclaim the erring. Who but God can toll and what but eternity reveal tho results of such a life ? But It Is finished, rounded offand she is gone. We do not see her, her place is vacant and we are stricken ; still we rejoice in her peaceful and delightful release ; we rejoice in the easy transition from this life to the other. She is with her Saviour whom she loved and served all these years; with her children and grandchildren who have passed on, with the dear old mother who lived on Into the nineties, and with hundreds of friends whom she knew and loved here below, and who are now in the ranks of the redeemed. We wish her joy in it all, and pray that her example may incite us who remain, to like faithfulness and unwearied effort. Mrs. H. M. Whitney. " �March, 188,5. MRS. SMITH'S CONNECTION WITH THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH AND SABBATH SCHOOL. As a leader in many branches of Christian work, Ms. Smith has been spoken of this nftenoon. There remains another most tender and loving connection, that of the Bethel Church and Sabhath School. The same ship that brought Mr. and Mrs. Smith to these islands brought material to be used in the construction of this chapel, which still remains as part of the Bethel. Mrs Smith's interests have ever been closely connected with the Bethel Church. During the years that she was particularly occupied in work among Hawaiians, she was, socially, most intimately connected with Dr. Damon, then pastor of the Bethel, and his family. On the occasion of the Golden Wedding in 1882, Dr. Damon, said "For 40 years our lives run parallel, and our work has been in the same calling; love and confidence have charactuized our intercourse with cnch other. We have rejoiced in each others successes and sympathized in each others trials—especially has this Ireen true in the deep family bereavements, which each has been called to sustain." This Ismd of union, still exists, for when the spark of life went out, and while loving hands were bearing what we knew as earthly of Mrs Smith to rest in Nuuanu cemetery, Dr. Damon was lying upon his dying lied, unconscious that his old-time friend had passed over the river before him. One week later, he also was laid to rest in the same valley cemetery. Together they sing "the song of the redeemed," around the throne of God, while two mourning households linger here a little longer. Her warm heart opened naturally to the sailors and strangers, who came for longer or shorter time, to this Church There in the early and congregation. days, her children were brought SablHtth after Sabbath, to listen to preaching in their mother tongue, and as they grew to mature years, they gave very efficient aid in Christian work. This thought was in stilled: "Do all you can to help the Bethel prayer meeting, choir Sabbath School, Ac." Thus she upheld the pustor in his work. Some years ago, Dr. Smith having left the pastorate of Kaumakapili Church her attendance at the Bethel became constant We shall all miss her familiar face in our congregation* With heart and life overflowing with love to God, her testimony for the Master, was often heard in our social meetings. Her zeal was great during the revival meetings held by Mr. Hallenbeckin 1881, and many were led to Christ through her earnest entreaties. We who used to meet with her in those ladies, afternoon prayer meetings know how she would plead for souls, even by name In many cases. God was very good to her and gave her answers to her prayers, so that many now think of her as their spiritual mother in Christ. From her own rich experience at that time she often spoke in the THE FRIEND. 11 Wednesday evening meeting, whereby class and listening to her earnestpresenta- all our hearts were full, and we were quickened te more active work, through her words and example. During the recent temperance and evangelistic work, she lalxired as actively as her strength would allow, saying, "I will do all that 11 woman of 75 years can do." She prayed most fervently for a full outpouring nf God's Spirit upon this community, and rejoiced greatly over some who came out on the Lord's side. Alxmt a year ago, as you all know, our Pastor presented his resignation to this Church. This weighed heavily upon Mrs. Smith's mind. Were we to be left alone in our weakness? The first Sabhath in March a notice was read, asking all ladies of the congregation to assemble at the vestry on Monday afternoon. Wo went, wondering for what! Then she laid liefore us, how much we needed prayer to (iod in this, our emergency, that He would lift Hie dark cloud and send us a man after His own heart to minister to us. Some of you will rememlier the prayers that went up from that little room as week after week we gathered the re. How closely our hearts were drawn together and what a comforting hour it was! Mrs. Smith was never absent except when detained by sickness, and that was seldom, for she often came when weak and suffering. When the faith of some was weak and trembling, she took strong hold of God's promises and led us upward and onward. Is it not in answer to those prayers that we have been so blessed during the past six months? She welcomed our present Pastor and his wife most cordially and a warm Christian affection had grown up between them. On the first Monday of the New Year she led the Ladle's prayer meeting in a very solemn and impressive manner. The next week she was again present, and urged upon an inquiring one that she she should "put her trust in the Saviour; who doeth all things well." The next week, from her sick bed, she sent us a loving message through the elder Mrs Thrum. Now she is gone. She loved this little meeting, as a mother loves her child. Let the Ladies prayer meeting at the Bethel, on Monday afternoon, be a lasting, living memorial of Mrs. Smith's life among us. Closely connected with all her other efforts has been her work for the Bethel Having a ready and Sabbath School. peculiar gift for communicating with and instucting others, Mrs. Smith was a most For many acceptable Bible teacher. years she was personally connected with the school, first in charge of the infant class, afterward of a class of young girls, many of whom have now, in turn be come teachers, while others have gone up higher. For several years she has conducted a Bible class for adults, on compossd Sabbath morning. This chiefly of ladles, but I have often seen men who, as strangers, had found their way into tho room, gathered into her tion of the truth as found In God's word. No doubt much seed was thus scattered abroad which will bring forth fruit in Janunry 11th was her last due season. morning at the Sabbath School. By request she came into the room when the scholars were gathered for dosing exercises and made the dosing prayer. These were her last words to the dear Sabbath School children whom she loved so dearly. While thus we all, Pastor and tieople, aged and young, friends and family, miss her from our midst, may we each and every one be incited by her memory to do more for the Master's cause; that whether it shall lie as the unfolding bud, or as the rijiened sheaf of wheat, that any of us are called to end our pilgrimage, we too may be ready when our summons shall come. << Blessed are they that do His commandment, that they may have right to the tree of life and may enter in through the gates into the city." Mrs. S. E. Bishop. MRS. SMITH AS A CHRISTIAN. Dear Friends: We have assembled in this place to-day to unite in calling to mind precious memories connected with our sister, Mrs. Ixiwell Smith. We read in the good twok that after Dorcas died, many who loved her came together to mourn for her. They recounted to each other her good deeds, displayed the evidences of her love, lal»r and self-denial, for the poor people around her. Did not our Lord show that he approved of this memorial meeting? He gave Peter power to restore their kind friend to life. Our blessed Jesus commanded his disciples to love one another. We are thankful for this command; thankful that it is a duty as well as a privilege ; thankful for tfte example He gave us when Lazarus died, of his love and sympathy for the afflicted. This love does not die. It reaches into the world beyond. We have in remembrance the names of many dear sisters who have been fellow workers with us. Their faces are seen no more on earth. But they appear to the eyes of our minds when we think of them or speak their names. We shall not forget them. Mother Thurston, Mother Andrews, Mrs. Judd, Mrs. Chamberlain, Mrs. E. O. Hall, Miss Ogden, Mrs. Fidelia Coan, Mrs. Wetmore, Mrs. Bond, and some others; now we have another dear name to place with those in memory's cabinet —the one we speak of to-day. She was a friend of this nation, and proved it by her works. For over fifty years she dwelt among this people doing good. She was no half-way Christian. She threw into her work the whole energies of her being. A large, warm heart was hers, and she had room in it for oh! ad many I Not only her kindred, her children (no mother ever loved her children more!), not only fellow Christians (those she loved i-rdrntly, by whatever �12 na mo they were called), but ; !.e had a warm place in her heart for theiittiiite.j, the ignorant, the degraded, the heathen; "Christ loved them," she said, "He died for them! they do not know him! I love them, and long that they should come to Him !" "Love of children," said Mrs. Smith, "is the strongest passion of my nature." We who knew her understand this. She was gifted with a kind of magnetism that drew children to her and made it easy for her to teach them. No child passed by her unnoticed. They all belonged tn her she said. No wonder that it was a "glad day to her when she first gathered a group of Hawaiian lioys and girls around r.ei." Teaching was work that she loved, and for which she was especially prepared. Mr. and Mrs. Smith landed on these shores, May Ist, 1833. They had a long passage round Cape Horn of 150 days, without sight of land. In those early days the Missionaries on these Islands assembled in Honolulu once in a year, somewhat as the Jews used to go up to Jerusalem. It was called the General Meeting. They assembled every day in the old school-house, for mission business. Here they read reports of their work, discussed difficulties; decided on plans of work for the coming year; books that were needed, and who should write them;translations, printing,sehools, fields to be occupied, and who should occupy them; and above all, they united solemnly in seeking aid from on high and a blessing on their work. By this Association Mr. and Mrs. Smith were located on Molokai as assistants to Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock. They were to teach school and learn the language. Their dwelling was a small grass hut; as it proved very uncomfortable, they built a cottage of stone. There was an old heiau near by tijat furnished the material, and natives assisted in the work of construction. Their bouse being completed, their work was pro grossing, hut Mrs. Smith's health was failing, and her condition became so alarming that after one year she was brougnt to Honolulu, und the physicians decided that she must live nearer medical aid. They were then stationed at Ewa, a new station, about 10 miies from Honolulu. There Mr. Smith erected a house and school-house, and commenced a church. Work for the people began with vigor. After two years trial, during which time Mrs. Smith suffered much, physicians again interfeivd, and our friends were brought to Honolulu that Mrs. Sought have continued medical treatment. Rev. Mr. Bishop was appointed to take the station at Ewa. Mr. Smith took charge of the schools of Honolulu. Mrs. Smith did what she could reclining on her couch. Native women visited her and she used her opportunities with them. For six months she taught the little Prince Alexander, giving him his first lessons in English and lessons from the bible. In 1837 teachers arrived, after which THE FRIEND. Mr. antl Mrs. Smith were located in the lower part of the city, called Kaumakapili, where mission work seemed especially needed. Again they commenced anew with unabated enthusiasm and zeal. Mrs. Smith's health had improved, and she was delighted with the prospect of work, real work for the lower class of natives. This was the commencement of a long term of labor fur the blessed Master. They took it up with avidity. The first place of worship was a schoolhouse, with a large lariai built outside of it. People flocked around them, and often 2000 persons were presnt to hear the Gospel. Our sister, though still in delicate health, found many ways to help in the work. Hundreds of women came to see the new teacher; she gave them kind greetings of sympathy. Sometimes they brought their infants and young children, and received instruction and advice about training and caring for them, or medicine if they were sick. Native teachers were employed, and it gave her delight to give them instruction to tit them to influence, govern and instruct in the best way. She organized female pniyer meetings, which she always attended and took charge of, if possiblee, and from which she derived much strength and courage. She appointed women in whom she had eotideiiee to go to out-districts, conduct duct meetings, visit the sick, and report to her such as needed especial help. After laboring and preaching under the lanai for two years, Mr. Smith and his people decided to build a church. Their people were all poor. It was a large building that was planned. Mrs. Smith took hold of this work with energy. She called the women together to contrive ways to raise money, as a large sum would be Deeded. They all wanted to help. Some who had work would save a part of their wages. Others were taught to braid hats and mat bags; these were sold, the former to native's, and the latter to a sugar Hunter on Kauai. Men, women and children joined heaitily in the work of building the new church. The walls were to be of sun dried bricks, or adobes. They were made by the men, the moulds lieing prepared by Mr. Smith. Lime was needed to plaster the walls. Tiie. natives brought coral from the sea, and burned it for this purpose by their teacher's instructions. The people had willing hearts and labored gladly. It was to be their church, in which they would worship God. It would lie impossible to speak of the lnmy tilings that our sister found to do for the peopie of Kaumakapili. Besides giving religious instruction, home life, cleanliness, dress, economy, care of time, the decencies and common things of life, all called for thought and lessons from her. In 185i»Mrs. Smith consented to commence an evening school for some promising young men (Hawaiians) who applied to her for lessons in English. Volume 43, No. 3 found them docile and appreciaAfter teaching them one year she reluctantly gave it up, as this night work was too fatiguing after the labor of the day. She had much comfort in these pupils and some of them afterwards filled positions of usefullness with credibility and faithfulness. Mrs. Smith was teaching at this time aa English day school for Hawaiian children. In 1856 this was made a Government school. It was the first English common school taught on these islands.- June 1854 to 1860 it was a popular flourishing school of 80 or more pupils. In 1860 the Government organized the Royal school and Mrs. Smith was invited to be its principal. This she declined, gave up her school and advised her pupils to go to theRoyal School. After this Mrs. Smith taught for many years the children of some of her friends and neighbors. One of those pupils will give some reminiscences of that school to-day. Mrs. Smith was a Christian worker as well as teacher. She was ready and helpful whenever and wherever duty called her. Others will speak of her as a member of The Womans' Board, the Stranger's Friend Society and of the Bethel Union Church and Sabbath School. But whatever other work she engaged in her sympathies and best efforts were for the Hawaiians. Much was done by her for their sick. During those dreadful months when the smnll-pox raged in Honolulu, this father and mother labored constantly for this poor suffering people. Mr. Smith left home in the morning and sometimes did not return till midnight. For three months fire .scarcely went out in Mrs. Smith's kitchen. Soup, rice, pia and tea were prepared daily in large quant'tics for distribution among their people. When the awful disease subsided, 500 from their roll-call answered they were numbered with the not dead! Those were sorrowful days! Mr. and Mrs. Smith had other sorrows in their Mission at Kamakajiili. Their home so delightful to them, where they had spent so many years of joy and sorrow was burned to the ground and never rebuilt. Many dear friends and relatives in the home-land, left for the far country and their loving, cheering letters ceased to come. Seven little lives, heart treasures, were given them, but five were recalled to be educated in heaven. They left living arms that ached from emptiness! But I heir severest trials came when some whom they had loved, and for whom they had prayed and hoped, left the good and returned to theirevil ways. One consolation was always theirs. They could go and tell Jesu*! They found in Him help and comfort at all times. Our precious friend has gone to her rest. All her toils and anxieties are over. She left no word of farewell for ys, but she has left lessons for each of us. Her example seems to say to us, These are days of opportunities. Watch for them. She tive. — " �March, 1885. Do not neglect one; neglected, the same one never returns." Let us together praise the Lord to-day for all his loving care and help from our sister during the many years of her sojourn in these Isles of the Sea. Juliette M. Cooke. BOARD HAWAIIAN HONOLULU, H. I. This pa<j*;e is devoted Ut the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, und the Editor, appointed by the Board, is responsible for its contents. A. 0. Forbes, 13 THE FRIEND. Editor. OUR DUTY TO THE JAPANESE. Nine hundred and forty-eight Japanese have just landed on our shores, the large majority of whom come as laborers and household servants. We owe it to them to give them such opportunities of Christian instruction and education as may be in our ixiwer to give. At the suggestion and request of the Hawaiian Board, in a letter sent by the Corresponding Secretary to Japan as long ago as last September, a young and intelligent Christian Japanese who is preparing for the ministry has come with them. A supply of Japanese Scriptures and tracts has also Ixjen received from Rev. Mr. Loomis, the Agent of the American Bible Society in Japan. Consul Irwin, who has come with this lot of immigrants, has shown a • commendable interest in their moral and spiritual aiding in every way the advancement of these objects so far as was within his power. i'lie Honolulu Y. M. C. A. have tendered the use of their hall for religious meetings of the Japanese on Sundays, and it has been accepted by the Hawaiian Board with thanks for the generous courtesy thus siiown. Arrangements will be made to have a service held there for the Japanese in Honolulu each Sunday. The Board are also expecting to start an evening school at once for such of them as may desire to be taught English. We commend these objects to the generosity and Christian cooperation of the community. THE CHINESE. True Christianity is as broad as the world. It embraces in its beneficent provisions, all races, and all classes of men. And we hold that this grand principle should govern the views and the daily life of every professing Christian. The fact that it often does not, and that so many who profess to believe in Christianity, and to be in cordial sympathy with its spirit and its objects, nevertheless act and speak in a manner inconsistent with those professions, only shows the imperfection of man. In our editorial for February, we quoted with hearty endorsement, a noble, manly Christian, utterance from a journalist of natioi'"' reputation and of high stauding, in to the Chinese problem." We stated no "conclusions" of our own on either the political, social, . " or economic features of the question. When therefore our fellow editor of the Saturday Press launches out in rather wild tirade against what he is pleased to term our conclusions on the subject of admitting unrestricted Chinese immigration," we are somewhat curious lo know whence he derived his information as to our views on that point. And all the more so as the views he impliedly attributes to us happen to be wide of the; mark. We are well aware that there are* many serious and difficult questions connected with the political and economic sides of this question. And we do not undertake to deliver any oracular utterances Uiereanent, or to enter the lists in the controversy. We simply recognise the fact that the Chinaman is a brother samj that he has a soul to be saved as well as any other man; that he is here in large number, and 'hat we who profess the doctrines and principles of Christianity havea moral responsibility laid upon us by these very facts; a duty which we owe to the Chinaman in common with every other human being; that of endeavoring to do him good. We hold further, that if there be danger to trade or to social morals from bis presence in such numbers, (and we do not deny such danger) there can be no greater safeguard against it than the bringing, to bear upon it the transforming and elevating power of a true, warmhearted Christianity.

A labor-ship arrived here to see Binoka, and he sent it to Nonouti to get the people, and many went aboard there to go to labor. Pitiable are the children who have no parents. It is God who will care for them. Trnimliition from Vutaio Tibur's letter of July 9, 1884. [Teacher on Nonouti J. Rev. H.

The inhabitants of Nonouti were also very many of them slain by Binoka, and very many were bound, after the fashion of a pig when its four feet are tied together.

An item has appeared in the papers of this city about the visit of a British ship of war to Apemami, and the penalty inflicted upon the King of that island for his share in the trouble at Nonouti last year. A little explanation may place the affair in a somewhat different light from that in which it appeared to a British captain unacquainted, doubtless, with the language, and probably receiving his information from doubtful sources. Letters have been received by the Hawaiian Board, and also by Rev. H. Bingham from theGilliert Island teachers on those two islands of Apemama, who were on the spot, and who, so far a.s we know, are reliable men, extracts from which we give below: " •.

Landed on Nonouti with their rifles and ammunition purchased in Honolulu, this Nimatu assumed royal airs and authority, called himself Kalakaua, and gathering a party about him, committed havoc on the poor people. Many of the inhabitants were slain by him, and many subjugated. Many others, to the number of one hundred canoe loads, fled to Kuria and Apemama, and called on King Binoka to protect them. He accordingly collected a force of his own people, and went to Nonouti to quell the disturbance anil restore order. He landed, attacked Nimatu, the pseudo Kalakaua, vanquished his party and slew Nimatu himself, and thus became master of the island. His treatment of the vanquished party was in accordance with savage custom, "thongh not in accordance with our ideas of civilized warfare. For this he is visited by a British ship of war and severely punished as though he had been guilty of a wanton act, whereas he was only doing a kindness and a real service to the people of Nonouti by rescuing them from their oppressor,and that too at their own request. We regret that the commander of that ship of war should have been led by what he may have supposed to be sufficient evidence, into the commission of an act which must have appeared to the King Binoka and to the people themselves an unjust act, and one which will not tend to exait their confidence in the paternal Justice and kindness of the English nation. CAPTAIN J. M. OAT, Sr. Ftom the Memorial Address, by Rev. S. C. Oggel, in the Bethel Union Church, Feb. 25th, 1985. My friends, In the Providence of God, this Church is again called to give up one of its members. To Brother Oat, having fought the battle of life and run the race, came the voice of God: "Come up higher,"—and knowing that our Father doeth all things well, it behoves us to say, "Thy will be done." The following is a brief account of the history of his life and of the leadings of God with himself and family. Captain Oat was born at Philadelphia, September 25th, 1809, and was therefore in his 7'ith year. He was married to Miss Elizabeth R. Crocker, December 17, 1884, In New York City, by the Rev. Mr. Chase. For IS years after their marriage Mr. Oat "followed the sea," casion lieing the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage, at which over two hundred guests were present and regrets for unavoidable absence were received from many others. The event was a most pleasant one to the aged couple and their children, and to thecontinuous stream of visitors that came to offer their congratulations. For half a century these two bad been united as one and had together borne the sorrows unci shared the joys of life. Yes, we rejoiced that evening with parents and children in the goodness and faithfulness of (Jotl to this family. Surely His blessing, and comfort and pence were there. The occasion was one that will fill a place in our memories for many years to come. To this it gives me great pleasure to add, that on the 2d day of October, 1881, Mr. Oat made public profession of his faith in Christ and united with this Church, "lie that confessedh me before men," the Muster says, "him will I confess before my Father and his holy angels." And therefore to you, the companion of his many years, I would say, 1'Be comforted." Having been together for so many years you will miss him in days to come, but trust in God, and in an ever present Savior, who is "the same yesterday and to-day and forever." Jesus has said, "I will not leave you comfortless." And rejoice in the promsies of God of re-union in the better land and home on high. And to you his children I would say, recognize with gratitude to God that you carry to his resting place to-day an honorable and honored man. For such was your father in this community. Satisfied that you have done all in your power to please him while he lived and especially to make his last days comfortable, submit to-day to the will of Him, whom it hath pleased to take your father unto Himself. Shall we all this day, realizing that death may any day call for you ami me, heed the loving voice of God, "Son, daughter, give me thine heart?" Captain Oat was present in this Church on the Bth day of this month, the day after God took Dr. Damon from us, and we were here that Sabbath afternoon to hear God speak, look at the remains, and then carry them to their last resting-place. My friends, you are here to-day. Who of us will be called next? Oh, God alone knowsl Are we ready? Not all become old. Human life must close. I, this afternoon commend to you all Jesus Christ the Great Physician, and the University of Michigan. Mrs. Mngoon was a member of the Bethel Union Church. She was a consecrated, happy Christian, faithful in all her relations. Blessed are the dead who die in tho Lord. Yea, saith the Spirit, for they rest from their labors, and their works follow them." The funeral service was held from the Bethel Union Church, E. C. Oggel, the " pastor, officiating. To the husband and son we extend our sympathy in their bereavement.
