CRUZAN, 1 E CLEAVING TO CHRIST. beautiful A sight in nature is a tree full of blossoms. The hope that accompanies the view is, that they may escape the danger to which they are exposed, come to maturity, and the tree may in due time exhibitabundant fruit. So it is, too, in the kingdom of Jesus. We pray and labor for converts to Christ and His cause. And when we realize the hoped for results, we rejoice, but at the same time we expect that there shall be steadfastness and advancement in the Christian life. Hence the practice of the early preachers of the Gospel was to exhort new converts to remain faithful to their consecration vows, and theiraim to confirm the souls of those who believed, persuading them to adorn their profession with a holy life. Joining the Church is a step in the right direction, provided there has first been a heart-union to Christ. But uniting with the Church by a public profession of religion should not be regarded as the end of duty. For conversion and confession are only the commencement of the Christian course. Then life is before one with its golden possibilities of converse with Christ, fellowship with His followers, growth in grace, and labors of love which shall be richly rewarded. With such relations and opportunities every convert can say with Doddridge, happy day that fixed my choice " O On Thee, my Savior and my God; Well may this glowing heart rejoice, And tell its raptures all abroad." The new life in man is like a seed that springs up, a light that illumines, a fire that burns. It creates a change that is seen in the countenance, shines in conversation, and reveals itself in a course of conduct that contemplates the glory of God. It is a life sacredly set apart to the service of Jesus. Such a life is only possible, however, in union with Christ Our Lord said to the disciples, "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine, no more can ye except ye abide in me." Joined to Jesus the life will be radiant and resultful. He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit." But where there is not this union one is helpless and the life unprofitable. " "For," said the Master, "without me ye thing to him was new and delightful. can do nothing." Cleaving to Christ is therefore essential to a right state of the heart and to usefulness. For as in fruit, ripeness and sweetness come from the sun, so in the Christian, grace and growth must come from the sun of righteousness. It is our duty and privilege to live in constant communion with Jesus. It is said that in Nova Zemhla, where the winter is long and the summer short, an evergreen can get hut six inches from the ground. Hut when it is carried further south, it springs up and carries its stately growth full three hundred feet toward heaven, showing where it should he and what it can do. So it is with the Christian. He cannot be an earnest, steadfast, shining witness for Jesus, unless he breathes the atmosphere of intercourse with his Lord. "I cannot get on without three hours a day of prayer," said Martin Luther. "Pull the bell of prayer," says Cuyler, "and wait for the answer." Love, interest and duty should lead us constantly to seek our Savior's presence and to say: It seemed as if heaven and earth congratulated him on the glad, surprising change. Standing as It were in a new world he said, "I am a happy man. I have had more real enjoyment in one hour since I found the Savior, than I have had in all my life before." So will every Christian give his personal testimony to the preciousness of Jesus and that only a life close to him true pleasure affords. An eminent writer says: "It is good to become a Christian; better yet to ben. Christian; still better to remain a Christian; best of till to live and die a Christian, because such an one shall have a crown and throne in glory." personal relation to the living, personal Christ. We are ever exposed to doubt and distraction, temptations and trials. The soul may be tossed too and fro like a vessel at sea that is swept by the fury of theelements and dashed by the waves; but if we only cleave to Jesus Christ, He will be to us amid the winds and billows of life a strong and steadfast anchor. But if we live at a distance from the Savior the cares and attractions of the world will soon gain the ascendency over in general, but particularly to those who, during the labors of the lady evangelist among us and since, have indicated their intention to be henceforth on the Lord's side. Mrs. Hampson came to us after years of successful work for Jesus in other lands. She is one of many women who have consecrated their lives to the best interests of humanity and who live Savior divine— ''Our hearts and lives to Thee we (jive For without Thee we cannot live; Till in tho ocean of Thy love. We lose ourselves in heaven above." For usefulness then and safety, for comfort hen and enthronement hereafter, it is essential that we should cleave to Christ and abide in Him. No other relation of life is so honorable and agreeable. Of all bonds this union with the Lord Jesus is the most vital, noble and enduring. "Welcome, welcome dear Redeemer, Welcome to this heart of mine; Lord, I make a full surrender MRS. HAMPSON AND HER WORK. Every powei and thought be Thine, Thine entirely— In writing for this numlier of The Through eternal ages Thine!" Friend on the necessity of cleaving to Our safety too depends on a vital and Christ, we aim to be helpful to christians us. To illustrate: Dennis was a distinguished professor of religion. But Paul says of him: "Demas hatli forsaken me, having loved this present world." But Demas must have forsaken Christ before he deserted Paul. For he who lives near to Christ will not dissolve partnership with Christ's friends. Nothing therefore can be better than to cleave to Christ and abide in Him. What wife will lean upon a crutch, though it be of gold, when her husband says, "lean on me?" So should we cling to Christ. His loving heart and almighty arm alone can protect and save us. Happiness idso is found on,ly as we are with Jesus. A young man wended his way to a revival meeting. The first evening of his attendance he said to one, who addressed him on his need of a Savior, "I would give everything I possess to be a Christian." The following evening he found hope and peace in believing. He was one of the happiest of all who rejoiced in Jesus. Every- " For the heaven that smiles above them, And the good that they oan do." Her stay and efforts, here called to our remembrance the names of women who after well spent lives Have passed through ((lory's morning gate, "And walk in Paradise." Also of women who in different fields of work are still toiling and battling to undo the work of sin, and to further human happiness and God's glory. Among a hundred names there is one, in the line of christian temperance of whom Phoebe A. Hanaford says: "Her intellectual gifts have been supplemented with rare grace of character. The brilliant mental endowments and the delicate moral truth blend, like prismatic hues, into a broad ray of white light radiant with the name of Frances E. Willard." Another name is that of Mrs. Sarah J. Rhea, for a number of years a missionary in Persia, eloquentin prayer, gifted in address, thoroughly imbued with the spirit that wants the whole world far Christ and now exerting her powerful influence in this direction. And then Mrs. Hampson: On Sunday, �THE FRIEND. 4 Rev.

But this little discrepency will November 23d, we said to the Bethel on the Lord's side and a deeper interest Union congregation, in anticipation of this lady's mission: "Let us ask of God, that the place where we shall meet may be full of the presence and j>ower of the Divine Spirit. Let us address the throne of grace with an importunity of prayer, which only faith in the living God can inspire. Let us pray that the blessing of God may so rest upon the meetings, that salvation may come to all hearts and homes. So will our fair city to some extent become typical of that great city, which in the sacred records is pictured as filled with the redeemed from all lands; a city, ineffably beautiful, beaming with brightness from the presence of God and Christ, and musical with songs of triumph and the minstrelsy of harpers and cherubims." Mrs. Hampson has come and gone. It is proper to speak of the lady, the nature of her work and the results. Mrs. Hampson is an earnest, enthusiastic whole-hearted christian. Before the meridian of her life was reached, she had been tried in the fire, from which she came forth as gold purified. Husband and children were taken from her, and so to what sometimes is said, "A woman's place is at home," we mayanswer in this case that the home was broken up. Judging from Mrs. Hampson's frequent allusions to this subject, perhaps no one believes more strongly than she does that woman's sphere begins at home. She also illustrated the influence of the christian religion on the duties of domestics by saying that a servant can sweep the floor to the glory of God, and how one of these had said, "Even the door-mat shows that I have become a christian." But woman's work cannot be confined to the home sphere. Ages ago, under the Old Testament economy, women were identified with public affairs and sustained positions of responsibility. Those last at the cross and first at the grave were women, and the first one to proclaim a risen Redeemer was a woman. To-day there are women poets, women scientists, women artists, women lecturers, women reformers, women educators, women physicians, women lawyers, women in business, and women evangelists. Mrs. Hampson has for a score of years been telling "the old, old story" of Jesus and his love. As she discoursed one evening after another to large audiences at Kawaiahao church on the commanding theme of the great salvation, we thought of Chadwick's lines, "She spoke of justice, truth and love, How soft her word* distilled! She spoke of Qod; and all the place Was with His presence filled." And under the powerful presentation of the truth we think all must cordially have said Amen to Paul's sentiment, "There is neither male nor female; for ye are ail one in Christ Jesus." As to the results, christians have been revived, the Savior and his teachings have become more precious, some have come forward and declared themselves Volume 43, No. 2 �5 THE FRIEND.

They will soon come to the front with unabashed enthusiasm and a new prediction, which nothing but time can prove to be false, and nothing but fanaticism will believe to be true. Our thanks are due the publishers of "The Honolulu Almanac and Directory," and "The Honolulu Guide Book of Information" for copies. Both contain much valuable information. Dr. Damon, who for over forty years has enjoyed uninterrupted health, has for a number of days been confined to the house. The Doctor has our sympathy and we shall rejoice in his speedy restoration to health. It is not often that a father's mantle falling on the shoulders of a son, is such a complete and acceptable "fit," as in the case of the succession atMakawao, Maui, where Rev. Mr. Rouse, Jr., has stepped into his father's vacant pulpit, and is giving general satisfaction. We congratulate the people and the young pastor. The Editors of this publication extend their thanks to Rev. Dr. Damon for the valuable New Year's present to each of a complete set of The Friend. We assure the generous donorof our thorough appreciation of his kindness. If any parties desire to obtain a complete-file of The Friend, they should apply to Dr. Damon, as per announcement, in this paper. We have received from Dr. Kittridge, of Hilo, a sample copy of a little book entitled, "Sermon Texts, and Sunday School Record," which was prepared by his brother, the pastor of a large Presbyterian Church in Oswego, N. Y. It is by far the best thing of the kind which we have yet seen. The pastor of the Fort-St. Church will introduce them among his young people. Fort-St. Church wedding bells rang out cheerily on Thursday evening. Jan. 22d. The church was most beautifully decorated; Dr. Emerson made a manly looking bride-groom, and Dr. Sarah E. Peirce a charming bride. The Friknd extends most heartfelt congratulations. It is, perhaps, fortunate that there is no Medical Society in Honolulu, else Dr. Emerson might find it difficult to mainregutain membership among his lar" brethren; his consultations with a homeopathlst will undoubtedly occur frequently. We are glad to see the two "schools" thus happily united. We have received a long communication signed "B Secret." We had suprule, posed that the invariable newspaper must that the real names of the authors always accompany articles for publication, was so well-known that it needed no repetition. But in order that there may be no misunderstanding hereafter, we now inform all our correspondents that they must send their real names with articles intended for publication in The Friend. It is not necessary that the article be signed by the real name of " the author, but the editors MHtt have the name for their protection. "B Secret's" article goes into the waste-basket. We call especial attention to the advertisement of Miss Frances E. Willard's new book, "Woman and Temperance." It is a very complete statement of the part woman has taken in this great work, and her talent for it. The members of our local W. C. T. U. especially will find the book of value. Rev. J. S. Cutler is the agent. The entire foreign community of Honolulu, sympathize with her relatives in the severe illness of Mrs. Dr. Lowell Smith. The self-denying labors of seventy-five years, seem about to be closed. Her sweet, beautiful, charitable, christian spirit, her earnest sympathy with, and active participation in every good cause, her. large generous sympathies have bound closely to her a host of friends. Her heaven will lie worth the having. THE CHURCHES. THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH. JANUARY—FEBRUARY. The Church work for 1885 opened with a sociable on the evening of New Year's day, which was well attended. At a called meeting the following persons wore chosen as Sunday School officers: Superintendent, Mr. J. Robbins; Secretary, Mr. T. M. Henderson; Treasurer, Mr. Jonathan Shaw; Librarian, Mr. Win. Clark: Assistant Librarians, Mr. Fred. Win. and Ernest Thrum; Prudential Com., Mr. H. A. Parmelee, Mrs. E. C. Oggel, Mr. E. C. Damon; Lesson Com., Mrs. B. F. Dillingham, Mrs. S. M. Damon, Mr. J. O. Carter, Mr. H. A. Parmelee. A vote of thanks was accorded Mr. H. A. Parmelee for his faithful and efficient services as Superintendent for the past three years. On Sabbath morning, January 11th, the Sunday School exercises were in harmony with Mrs. Hampson's work at Kawaiahao Church. Mrs. S. M. Damon, as usual, presided at the organ and led the school in several appropriate hymns. Addresses were made by Superintendent Robbins and E. C.

Mrs. Dr. Lowell Smith then led in a fervent prayer for the blessing of the Holy Spirit on all present. On Sunday morning, the 18th, the pastor preached on "Confessing Christ," the Rev. Robert Mackenzie of San Francisco assisting, and in the evening on "The Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price." January 25th, the closing Sabbath of the month, was full of interest and encouragement. A large congregation was present at the morning service. The pastor spoke briefly on Ps, 34:8, "O taste and see that the Lord }s good." The to three adults. Nineteen |>ersons were admitted to membership; twelve on profession of faith, and seven by letter from Presbyterian Churches in the States and Canada. The sacrament of Communion was celebrated with gratitude and praise. Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde assisted, administering the cup. The pastor conveyed to the communicants a message from Dr. Damon, that in the forty-two years of his pastorate he has never been absent from the regular prayer-meetings on account ot sickness, and that this was the first communion morning on which through illness he could not be present; but that he was restful in God, and rejoiced with us in the goodness of the Lord to us as a (Church. Prayer was offered both morning and evening for the recovery of Dr. Damon and Mrs. Lowell Smith. In the evening the discourse was on the love of Christ in the gift of Himself for our salvation. The after-meeting was of especial interest, several persons testifying, from individual experience, to the saving power of Jesus. On Tuesday evening, the 27th, a meeting of officers and teachers to promote the interests of the Sunday School was held at the residence of Mr. J. O. Carter, on Nuuanu avenue. The following are the subjects for the Wednesday evening meetings this month : Feb. 4, Monthly Concert—China. Feb. 11, Social Worship—Mat. 18:19,20. Feb. 18, Stand fast!—Gal. 5:1. Feb. 25, Wide awake—Luke 14:2,3. Go out and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." " FORT-ST. CHURCH. Notwithstanding the marked depres- sion in business circles, and the feeling of financial uncertainty and the necessity for economy, the annual sale of slips and sittings in Fort-St. Church realized over $5,000, securing an ample revenue for the coming year. The regular church-work for the past month has, of course, been greatly broken up by Mrs. Hampson's evangelistic services, only the Sabbath School sessions being held for the first two Sundays in the month. It was with a satisfied, "itis-good-to-be-at-home" feeling that the congregation gathered on Sunday morning, Jan. 18th, in the "home church." It is said that "one of the benefits of a vacation is the satisfaction with which one returns to his, hom,e." Certainly there was this satisfaction in many hearts on the resumption of our own services. The event of the month was the strong, earnest sermon of Rev. R. Mackenzie on Sunday evening, Jan. 18th. A large audience was present, and were wellrepaid by the suggestive, eloquent evan« gelical discourse. Mr. Mackenzie showed the self-possession and power of a true orator, in his compelling the attention of his audience during the very annoy-, lng alarm of fire, which occurred in the sacrament of Baptism was administered midst of the discaujrsje. �THE FRIEND. 6 Mr. Cruzan has resumed his "FiveThis minute Sermons to Children." year the young people will be divided iuto two classes: Class 1 Will consist of those who are eleven years old, or under, who will keep a record of attendance of morning services only.

The recent visit of Mrs. Hampson and the position she took among the nonEpiscopalians in Honolulu, indicates that there is a party in the English Church which has always given Mr. Moody a warm and cordial a reception whenever he has visited England. Among the best and most earnest supporters of Mr. Moody in England, have been members of the Established Church. We are always rejoiced to witness a cordial sympathy among Christians, no matter to what particular branch of the Christian Church they may be attached. True Christian sympathy and fellowship rides alxive the partition walls of all sects and denominations. It is on this account that we have witnessed the progress of Mrs. Hampson's Evangelistic labors in Honolulu with interest. This is a consummation to which we have ever directed our efforts as a minister of the gospel.

He believed it an absolute necessity that the officers, and the leading members of the church, should assist the pastor heartily in this movement, personally going to people with invitations, and then cordially welcoming them, even though they wear very coarse cloth.

Looking over some old books the other day, we ■mine across Charles Nordholf's 'California," a book written a little more than ten years ago, and therefore fairly entitled, in this fast age, when we live as much in ten years as our forefathers tlid in fifty, to be called an "old" book. And we were struck by the sturdy common sense and clear Chiistian insight or foresight of the views therein expressed as to the Chinese problem. We have room to quote only a sentence or two which are as full of truth and as pertinent to us here now as they were to California and the United States ten years ago. He says: ''John is inevitable. He has discovered America (Hawaii nei?) and finds It a good country. We shall not keep him out. But it is ours, and not his, to determine whether he shall be a curse or a blessing to us. If we treat him as Christianity teaches that we ought to treat our fellow menj-if we do unto him as we would that others should do unto us; if we see that he is instructed in that which we believe to be right, he may become a useful part of us. Teachable he certainly is; a far more civilized being— or rather, a far less savage creature— than many we get from Christian Great Britain." And again, "In some way, not by laws, for they can do nothing, but by missionary effort; by earnest, general, conscientious training, John must be brought to a comprehension of our customs, so that, even if he does not become a Christian in name or in fact, he shall yet learn to conform his lift; to that of our American people, and not live among us disordering and disorganizing our own society." Nordhoff never said a truer thing, and we rejoice to know that there are many friends of Christianity and of social older and purity on these Hawaiian Islands who take a similar view of the case and are willing to do what they can for the Christian enlightenment and advancement of our Chinese brother men on these shores. The Hawaiian Board have ordered a new edition of 4,000 copies of the Gilbert Island Hymn Book. Also a new edition of 1,000 copies of the Marhall Island Primary Arithmetic. These are to be printed in San Francisco in time to send forward to Micronesia by the new "Morning Star" next May. • Volume 43, No. 2 THE FRIEND. 8 ITEMS. The total amount of stock taken in the new Morning Star by the Sabbath Schools on these islands to date is $<i47.f15. We regret to record the death of one of our most promising and valued Hawaiian Missionaries to the Gilbert Islands, Rev. 8. K. Maunaloa, who died at Kawela, Molokiii, January 2d, 1885, of hemorrhage of the lungs. On the Ist of January, Rev. S. W. Kokuewa, formerly a valued missionary of this Hoard to the Marshall Islands, was installed p:ist«r of the native church of North Kohala, hitherto under the care of Rev. K. Bond. Rev. S. L. Desha, the young and promising pastor of the church at Kealakekua, Hawaii, was married January Ist, IMBO to Miss Mary Kekumano. Rev. G. W. VVaiau, pastor of the Church at Ilookena in South Kona, performed the ceremony. The Church building at Puako, a few miles south of Kawaihae, originally built under the active superintendence of Rev. L. Lyons, having been, for some years in a dilapidated condition, has been rebuilt under the direction of Rev. S. C. Luhiau, and with the active and praisworthy assistance of Mr. John Stupplebeen, the new building was dedicated on New Year's Day. New Year's Sabbath School Conventions were the order of the day this year at Wailuku, on Maui, and North Kona, on Hawaii. At Wailuku the Sabbath Schools of Maui and Molokai were all represented, numbering in all between six and seven hundred. H. R. H. Princess Liliuokalani Dominis and other invited guests from a distance graced the occasion with their presence. Rev. E M. Pease and family left by the Mariposa, January loth, on their way to the United States for a year's rest and recruiting. Dr. Pease takes with him the final manuscript translation of the whole New Testament in (he Marshall Island language, and will superintend its publication by the American Bible Society during the coming year. The graduates and former pupils of the Hilo Boys' Boarding School have taken steps to raise among themselves the sum of $25(1 for the erection of a monument to their late reverend and beloved teacher Rev. D. B. Lyman. It is to be of Italian marble, and will mark his resting place in the beautiful little foreign cemetery at Hilo. This graceful act of theirs is a spontaneous tribute of affection and esteem from bis former pupils. There are now two organized Chinese churches on these Islands connected with the work of the Hawaiian Board. The one here in Honolulu, with ail educated and excellent Chinese pastor, and an active membership of between seventyfive and one hundred; and the other at Kohala, with a competent and earnest Chinese preacher. Besides these there is a valuable Chinese colporteur and preacher at Hilo, doing a good work among the Chinese in that district, and another at Paia on East Maui, engaged in similarlabors for theChinese so thickly scattered In that region. It is interesting to note that at the last communion in the Chinese Church of Honolulu on the first Sabbath of last month, seven adults were received to membership on confession of faith, and two children were baptized. There are also several candidates for admission at the next communion season. At Kohala, in November last, two adults were received to membership in the Chinese Church on confession of their faith. Tiik war in China having resulted in much hardship and persecution to the Christian Chinese in that land, the sympathies of our Christian Chinese on these islands have been enlisted for their suffering brethren in the home land, and at the close of last year a contribution of $1520 was sent forward by them to Rev. R. Leehler to be distributed among the needy Chinese Christians of southern China, without regard to sect or denomination. The boys also of the Chinese school here made up a little purse among themselves of about eight dollars as their contribution to aid the children of those suffering ones. Surely this is a noble example. "By their fruits ye .shall know them" are the words of Christ. DONATIONS. Our hearty thanks are due to Mr. J. T. Waterhouse, Sen. for his liberal Christmas gift of $250, and to Mrs. M. S. Rice for an equally generous and timely donation of $250 more to aid the w ork of Mr. F. W. Damon, our Superintendentof the Chinese Evangelical work. Such investments are worth far more, both for "the life that now is, and for that which is to come," than plantation, railroad, steamship, or commercial, or even government bonds and stocks. r Statement of the receipts of the Hawaiian Board for the month ending Jan. 20th, 1885.

"I am very sorry, Wilbur, but we shall be obliged to give you a less responsible position than the one you now hold." These words were spoken in the private office of the large manufactory of Wells & Co. The man who spoke them was sitting in a chair by the desk. He was the senior member pi the thin. The man to whom they were ■ddretved stood with one hand upon the knob of the door; his hat was in the other band. He was a tine hsoking young man, with a (till, erect form, broad shoulders, and splendid physique. He bad a keen eye and a bright face. After the gentleman at the desk had eeaeed speaking, the employee presented a moody silence for some momenta His first impulse would have led him to refuse to take a subordinate position; his pride struggled hard against what was to him, "such a come down." But it was late in November, hard times, low wages, and many were out of employ. ineiit. If he left that place, what was he to do? There were plenty of others waiting to take it if he should leave it. He did not look up into the speaker's face, but answered with a despairing tone of voice: I am very sorry, Mr. Wells." It is not necessary for me to fell you why we have decided to make this change. You know yourself, Wilbur. The position you hold is too important and has too many interests at stake to allow us to run any risks. If you would only be true to yourself, Wilbur, all would be " " right." As Mr. Wells ceased speaking the young man bowed, and went out of the office. A gentleman came in just as he passed out As he closed the office door the new comer asked: Was that Wilbur Cummings, whom I just met at the door?" "Yes," replied Mr. Wells, "it was." How he has changed in two years!" said the first speaker. He seems to have such a Imng-dog look. What has happened?" Wilbur Is his own worst enemy," said Mr. Wells, sadly. "lam sorry to say that he is drinking heavily of late. He is not as reliable and responsible as he used to be." "How strange it is!" said the gentleman, that men will make such fools of themselves! I don't believe that it is necessary for any man to go beyond a certain limit. I take my wine at dinner and a glass of beer now and then, but further than that I never go." Perhaps you may be strong enough to be able to control your appetite, but I found when I was a young man that I could not be governed by any such rules. I have seen the time when one glass made me desirous for more, and later for a larger quantity than was proper for me to have. I have been obliged to give up " " • " " " " Volume 43, No. 2 THE FRIEND 10 It might the whole thing altogether. not all'ect me so now, but I do not canto tamper with it." r But why don't you talk to Wilbur " Mr." Wells'.'"' my dear friend, I've talked " Why, him time and again; given him my with about it, own experience, but it has'nt done any 1 don't want to turn the fellow good. oft entirely, for 1 am hoping font reformation in him, but I cannot continue him in his present position. He had one of the best of mothers. I knew her well. He has a splendid wife, and a baby. They lost their two first children." While this conversation was being carried on in the olfice of the manufactory, Wilbur Cuuiniiugs was slowly walking toward home. It was the dose of a raw November day. Everything looked gloomy anil cheerless. The young man buttoned his overcoat tightly over his chest, and as Ik cast his eye down upon it be said: ••How shabby I am getting to be! The whole world has turned a cold shoulder to me; even Wells has Insulted me by ottering me asubordinate position, and my pride almost compels me to quit the place this very night. What an unlucky fellow lam anyway! Everything conspires to drag me down. Things in this world are so unequally divided. Some folks are always in luck. There is no use ot trying to he anything; everybody gives me a kick. I'll go up to treason's before I go home and get a drink. That is all the consolation I have, anyhow." This resolution seemed to give Wilbur a new impetus, and he quickened his pace. But he was obliged to pass by his little home on the way to the saloon. His wife was usually in the kitchen at that time getting supper, and he thought he could pass by without being Men. But as he glanced toward the little house he culled his home, he saw the baby's face pressed against the window pane. The little child saw him, and immediately its face illuminated with joy, and a happy smile lieained upon it, and as its father approached nearer, it held out its little hands to be taken. "The baby Is watching for me," he thought as he waved his hand in recognition. "Watching for me, his miserable father. 'The sins of the father—the sins of the father!'" he muttered to himself. "What is the rest of it?" Instantly he seemed to hear his mother's voice, as he did in the long years ago when he repeated the words after her: "The sins of the father shall be visited apom the children." "That is it—'Shall be visited upon the children!' He stopped in front of the window and the baby hand threw a kiss out to him in the gray twilight. "I'll go in and take the baby first," thought he. "The little fellow will lie so disappointed if I pass on. I'll go to Gleason's after supper." In another moment he had taken the ittle one in his arms and kissed the " baby face that watched so patiently for his coming. He went into the kitchen, where his wife was preparing the evening meal, with the baby In his arms. "I've had a letter from mother to-day," his wife said, very cheerily. "She has invited us down there for New Year's day." "You and the baby can go. I shan't husband, in a gruff tone of voice. "You know I shall not go if you do not," his wife said, this time with no show of enthusiasm. "The Bartlett's are going," she continued, "and I wish we could go too." "Bartlett has got something to go with; I haven't," he answered, as he put the baby in its high chair at the table. His wife would like to have asked her husband why they hadn't any means to use, as well as their neighbor, especially as he had nut as large a salary as Wilbur had. But she had learned that silence was golden, and silence was strength at such times. So she put her'supper on the table mh\ prepared her husband's meal just as he liked it best. While the husband was eating his supper he noticed that his wife's only decent dress for visiting occasions was lying over the back of a chair; her scissors and work-basket were on the seat. "Nan thought she was going to her mother's for New Year's, and she has been ripping up that old dress again to make it look like a new one, I suppose. Poor Nannie!" He remembered at that moment what a fresh, pretty, trusting girl she was when, only a few years before, she bad promised to take him "for belter for worse, for richer for poorer." You made a poor bargain, Nan," he said, when you married me. lam one of the unlucky ones. You needn't expect to be anything or have anything while you are tied to such a miserable fellow as 1 am." "And why not, Willie dear?" she said. You know I love you dearly." "Nan," ho said, looking her straight in the eye, tell me if you do not regret that you ever married me. What a comfortable, warm home you had! Was it not a great deal nicer there than it is now out in the cold, comfortless world with me?" (), Willie, please don't talk so. What is the matter?" The wife's hand was instantly laid upon the husband's head, and she stooped over and kissed him. You know, Willie dear, 1 never regretted being your wife." Well, Nan, nobody would blame you if you did. You are worthy of a nobler, better and stronger husband than I am." As he glanced over the room everything seemed to look shabbier and poorer than ever. Everything in his neighbor's home was so neat and cosy and attractive. "Why?" The old saloon-keeper could have told in a few words. He lived in a stone-front house; his wife go," said her " " " " " " " �11 THE FRIEND. February 1885 dressed in silks every day; yes, and on Willies money—the very money Nan and the baby ought justly to have. Catching up his hat, he said: "Nan, I'll be back before long, but if I don't get home before bed-time, don't sit up for me." "Tiss pupa! tiss papa!" the baby said, lifting up its little face. Wilbur Cumming's hand was already upon the door-knob, but he relinquished its hold and came back and kissed the baby. "Kiss me, too," said the wife, as she went to the door with him, "and please Willie, don't stay out late to-night, I'm so lonely." Wilbur Cummings was outside the door, out in the chill November darkness. His first impulse was to go to Gleuson's and "drown his sorrows," as he expressed it. But something seemed to arrest his steps. A voice kept saying, "The sins of the fathers! the sins of the fathers!" What right have we to enuiil misery and wretchedness upon our own flesh and blood, our innocent children?" he exclaimed. "O, if I only had strength to overcome this terrible sin!" Just then he turnedand looked toward the house. The curtain was rolled up a little way, and there was the baby's face peeping through the glass, looking out for him. The tears came to .his eyes; they rolled down his cheeks. God helping me, "I will," he said, bo a better man. My child shall not suffer for his father's sins!" He buttoned his coat more tightly over his chest, for he was facing the east wind. He walked rapidly, but in an opposite direction from Gleason's. When he stopped it was before a large, handsome house in the avenue. He rang the bell, and when the door was opened he asked for Mr. Wells. While he waited in the hall he heard the merry voices of happy children. The music gave him renewed courage. When Mr. Wells, after a few moments of waiting, appeared in the hall, his employee said: "Please excuse me, Mr. Wells, for interrupting you at this time, but please God, and by his help, I am going to be a better man. Will you try me once more, sir?" Mr. Wells stood and hesitated a few minutes, and then he said, as he took hold of Wilbur's hand with a cordial grasp: "Yes, Wilbur, I will trust you once more. It will be a struggle and a fight. These victories are not won without combats and conflicts," his employer continued. "Put your trust in God, and rely upon his strength for help." The baby had gone to sleep, and the young wife had turned down the light, locked the doors, and, with a thick shawl wrapped around her, she had also gone out into the darkness. Wilbur's manner had been so desperate that she was filled with alarm. She had been up the street in frout of Gleason's, but of course she " " BIRTHS. could not summon courage to go inside, and now she was walking slowly back At Hilo, Hawaii, Nov. 29th. 1881. to the wlfo of L.

During all these subsequent years, the subscriber has been lx.th publisher and editor. It is a period embracing the best part of a half century, and covering the reigns of three Kings, and parts of two others. Vast have been the changes in this '< Island world of the Pacific" during this period; and if the reader will perilse the more than 4,000 pages of this monthly, he may gether no unreliable and untrustworthy history of the past half century. There is no such complete record, in the Governmentarchives or church records, of deaths and marriages among foreigners, or of the arrival and departure of ships, and passengers, besides a vast amount of useful A historian historical memoranda. might confine his research to the more than forty volumes of this paper, and write a history of Polynesia, including its commerce, and the progress of Missions. So valuable has the Friend become in a historical point of view, that yearsago a request came from the British Museum for a complete file, and even now Mr. Bancroft, the historian of the Pacific coast, is employing one of his secretaries in carefully gleaning data from its pages. Here are found the full reports of the whaling fleet, the early accounts of the gold discovery in California and Australia, and also a full and complete history of Missions in the Hawaiian Islands, Micronesia and other groups. Special attention has been always given to th* last mentioned topic, ; appendix to the "Acts of the ApotttM." In retiring from the active management of this paper, I cannot but express my unfeigned satisfaction that the enterprize has passed over to publishers, in whom the Christian public has such entire confidence, thus affording the assurance that the aims and purposes of Tin-: Friknd will be even better carried out than they have been in Pastors Cruzan and Oggel enter upon their duties with every prospect of a successful career of usefulness in this department of Christian effort. This paper occupies a peculiar sphere, and I rejoice that its life is to be perpetuated under such favorable auspices. I trust all old subscribers and many additional new ones will aid in its liberal support. In closing my lal>ors as publisher and editor, I desire to return my unfeigned thanks to all subscribers, contributors and donors. There is only one name I will publish, which is that of E. Dunscombe, my ever faithful clerk for over twenty years. I would gladly record one other, but I know permission would not be given. Neither will I forget to mention the printers, who have always been piomptly paid when their quarterly bills were presented, whatever might have been the amount of The Friend's credit at tne bank. Thus more than $20,000 have been disbursed, or than $80,000, including the bills for paper. During all these years, with the exception of the Y. M. C. A.'s contribution, the publisher has not relied for support on any Benevolent or Mission Societies. In concluding this brief valedictory, I cannot refrain from acknowledging the kind Providence, under whose sustaining care and guidance, more than a half million copies of this paper have been scattered broad-cast among landsmen and seamen. It affords satisfaction that this little sheet has cheered the cabins and forecastles of thousands of vessels as they have cruised in these Pacific waters and the Arctic seas. With the kindest wishes to my successors and the reading public, S. C. Damon, Late Publisher & Editor of Tlie Friend. The Friend needs no introduction The parting words of Dr. Damon tell of a continuous existence through fortytwo years of this monthly publication, whose further management has been entrusted to our care. In these parting words Dr. Damon sets forth clearly and comprehensively the history of The Friend and the wide influence which it has exerted during these many years. An influence that is far reaching, as well in the various and distant parts of the earth to which The Friend has wended its way as in the unnumbered lives which it has touched and moulded beneficently for time and the hereafter. THE OLD AND THE NEW. It is said in the Apocalyptic vision .hut at some point in the oncoming history of humanity, Time will cease to be. How far off or how near this cessation of Time is, we do not know. But the fact itself is announced. All divisions and measurements of days and months, years and centuries, shall end. The stream of Time will flow into the ocean of eternity, and the ever-changing present be succeeded by the immutable hereafter. The mind naturally turns to this theme at the near terminus of the Old and the threshold of a New Year. How Time flies ! Truly and beautifully Queen Charlotte said : "I am always quarreling with Time; it is so short to do something and so long to do nothing." Time never halts. Banks suspend and human plans are thwarted, but amid financial disasters, the disturbances of war, the ravages of eaithquake, cyclone and pestilence, and the commotions in tbe affairs of nations, Time contiuues its ever onward march. Progress is the watchword of men, cities and kingdoms. Nations do not al ways remain the same. They come up from barbarism and idolatry to civilization and Christianity. Science in all departments is constantly advancing. What changes and improvements have been wrought by movable type, by gunpowder, steam and electricity ? Former tilings are ever passing away, and the future will be better than the present, Thus the individual Christian should �4 Volume 43, No. 1 THE FRIEND. s grow in all the graces and in usefulness as the years come ami go. For what would lie thought of a man who should constantly attempt to amuse himself with the toys that interested him when he was a child ? To a young man the memories of childhood and youth become things of the past. His native town becomes too small for his ambition and aims. He leaves his lioyhood's home, with a Bible from his mother in his trunk, perhaps to get tin education, or for better chances in business. Thus tlie Christian's motto should lie : Onward and upward. With all things around us advancing, a Christian standing still, or doing nothing, would be an anomaly in God's creation. With Improvements in art, Literature and law, shall not the Christian bead tin? list in earnest effort for God's glory and the good of man ? The close of one year and the commencement of another call upon all for a review and a look forward. It should lie to everyone what the settling time, or the time to balance liooks, is to the man of business. This time has always and impressively reminded us of such themes as the solemnity of living, human responsibility, the glory of Christian work, and kindred matters. We think of a hymn that tells of ''Nothing but leaves and years of wasted life," a song of sadness ! Will anyone, as 1884 is passing away, have to say of himself, "Through all the months of this closing year I have borne nothing but leaves." And this with an open Bible suying, No man liveth to himself." No! for the facts of duty and mutual helpfulness are proved by the very fact of one's own One cannot existence. Carlyle says: move a step without meeting a duty," In public prayer we have often beard the expression, '< We are unprofitable servants." This is a wrong application of a Scriptural phrase. As Christians we are doubtless useful to God, who, through human instrumentalities, is carrying out bis merciful designs. But we cheerfully admit that, as "the light of the world" in an intimate and living union with our Lord, we might and ought to be much more profitable, and that the Christian church as a whole, by a more thorough and complete surrender of itself to Christ, might be far more instrumental and efficient for human salvation than it has been heretofore. As we look ahead and realize that the clock of Time some day will stop and the hand of God will wind it up no more, and the whirl and excitement and toil of life shall cease, let us learn the meaning of our existence and appreciate our God-given opportunities. Then will our departure to a higher sphere of living and of labor be like a glorious crown which God's hand will put on a noble, well-spent life. Thus tbe Old will vanish while the " " New is to dawn sinless, tearless and cloudless.. And the glory of the future is in this also, that in tbe New, thjit shall follow the Old, there will lie the blissful reunion of friends. Now, if the Old were always to continue, there could bono reunion. But the New is coming, and coming without an attendant train of trials and tears, of parting and pain. Hence this revelation of the New is a fair vision and a source of hope and strength to the tried and tempted and those bereaved and bowed down. And we apprehend that the checkered scenes of intermingled joys and sorrows arc subservient to our best interests and conducive to the augmenting of our felicity hereafter. For the reminiscences of the past will be fountains of profit and gladness, as the joy of the safe landing is increased by the remembrance of the storms and perils of the voyage. It has since long been a custom for persons upon the first day of the year to salute one another with good wishes. Subjects have done so to their rulers, children exchanged these greetings with parents, pastors with their people, and friends with each other. In conformity with this time-honored and beautiful custom, we wish all our readers on the Islands and abroad a happy New Year. FROMMICRONESIA. The "Jennie Walker," Captain Holland, arrived in this port from Micronesia on Wednesday, the 24th of December, having had a prosperous voyage, although absent nearly a month longer than was anticipated. It will be remembered that she was chartered by the Hawaiian Board to take Rev. R. W. Logan and family and Miss A. A. Calmer on their mission work in Western Micronesia, and also to take forward tlie supplies for the missions of the American Board in Micronesia and to bring back the crew of the wrecked "Morning Star" and such missionaries as might be waiting to come. Having landed the supplies at Kusaie ami Ponape, on the voyage out, she proceeded to the Mortlock Islands and link with the Logans, landing them with their supplies at the Island of Uole, in Ruk Lagoon, where a favorable site for their station was Obtained, and with the help of two carpenters from Ponape, the frame of their house was put up, roofed over, and enclosed, and the floors laid before the vessel sailed on her return. She returned to Kusaie, arriving there early in November. Left Kusaie Novemlier 7th with Rev. E. M. Pease, M. D., and family, Rev. G. Leleo, Mrs. K. Haina, and the crew of the Morning Star" and two other passengers. Touched at Jaluit, and arrived at Honolulu after a rather protracted passage of forty-eight days from Kusaie, ten of which were occupied in the passage between that island and Jaluit. • Dr. Pease and family are in fair health, " but much needing a rest of a year to recruit in the United States, whither they will shortly proceed. The reports from the mission stations are in general favorable. Miss Palmer, though destined for Ponape to assist Miss Fletcher in her girls' school there, remains this year on Kusaie, as associate for Miss Cathcart during the absence of Dr. and Mrs. Pease. Mr. und Mrs. Walkup were in usual health, and busy in their training school for Gilbert Islanders. At Ponape, Miss Fletcher's school was quite flourishing, numbering fifteen girls. Mr. Logan writes from Ruk that their prospects there were inspiriting, the people receiving them very, cordially. The live stock they took with them on the '(Jennie Walker" stood the voyage well, and arrived in good condition at Ruk. It is hoped that an associate family may be stationed there with the Logans in another year. WANTED, ACCURATE INFORMATION. There is great need for some one to put in compact shape information in regard to these Islands, for the benefit of tourists, and then our steamship lines, the hotel, and other inteiested parties should scatter it broadcast, not only over the Pacific Coast, but also in the Interior and the Eastern States of America. Hawaii is but a speck upon the map, so it is not strange that among the most intelligent people, the densest ignorance prevails. We know, for a short time ago, when we faced towards the Islands as a (xissible home, what we did not know about Hawaii would have made a much larger book than Miss Bird's, while what we did know could have been put in a small paragraph. To the questions, What is the cost of the trip? Is there a good hotel ? What is the cost per week of room and board ? "What are the facilities for visiting on the other islands besides Oahu ? What outfit is needed in the way of clothing ?— and dozens of others which any one planning a trip here would ask, where can the information, briefly and plainly put, be found '? Some of the errors in information (?) given seekers after truth about Hawaii, are laughable. Mark Twain apologelically says, in one of his ixx.ks, that in solid facts of inspite of all his efforts formation will leak out of him." There mu-t be something in changing climate which has the same effect on former residents of Hawaii. They are generully the most misleading people into whose hnnds the poor, unsuspecting tourist can fall. For example, when, three years ago, we faced Hawaii as a probable future home, our better half asked a lady who had resided seven years in Honolulu, "About bedding: now, will I need to ship my blankets ?" Why, as you have them," was the reply, "perhaps you had better take " " " " �5 THE FRIEND. January 1885 Rev.

You will have to eat with your fingers," said an intelligent woman to a lady lecturer just before she started for the Islands. Why the white people use knives and forks, do they not ?" Oh, no. I have a friend who lives in Honolulu, and she writes me that they all eat with their fingers. One soon gets used to it and does not mind it at all !" The wife of a prominent clergyman of San Francisco, anxiously seeking information so that her family might come to the Islands with suitable clothing, was told by a former resident of this city : Your husband will not need any coat down there ; all the gentlemen go in their shirt-sleeves, it is so hot!" Think of one of our congregations, or worse still, a full-dress party, with the gentlemen all without coats! It certainly would create a sensation. I suppose this weather just suits you and reminds you of home ?" said a citizen of Los Angeles to a poor, sweltering, panting, perspiring Honolulan, who was caught in that city when the mercury was waltzing around between 95 and 110 degrees ! In reply, some very emphatic climatic information in regard to Hawaii was imparted. Who will compile a Hand-book of Information for the Benefit of Benighted American Tourists to the Hawaiian Islands ?" We charge nothing for the suggestion, nor for the above title. " " " " " " EDITORIAL NOTES. Consul H. W. Severance, of San Francisco, has ohr thanks for late California papers by the Alameda. What better prayer for the New Year could be offered than this which comes from the pen of Father Lyons: "May the year '85 be greatly blessed in the work of revivals on the. Islands, and throughout the world"? In addition to the various departments mentioned In our circular, printed on open a question another page, we box and shall be glad to have our readers on the Islands and abroad send questions to our columns. Dr. Damon having disposed of The Friend, proceeds at once to build him a fine house. We congratulate the Doctor, and hope that, when we have conducted The Friend for forty-two years we shall be able to build two fine houses. We regret to learn that Rev. Walter Frear, the former well-beloved Pastor of Fort Street Church has been seriously ill, but are glad to see by The Pacific of December 10th, that on the previous Sunday (December 7th), he was able to resume bis pulpit labors again. the veteran missionary of the Marshall Islands and Kusaie, is to be Chief Engineer of the Morning Star. Owing to special services conducted by Mrs. Hamp.on, the regular church services will be so broken up during the coming month that the pastors of the Bethel and Fort-st. churches have not thought it best to attempt to outline any work for January. Mrs. Partington stands as a type of worshipers (?) in every community, and Honolulu has a few of them. When asked Where she went to church," the dame replied, "O to any church where the Gospel is dispensed with!" Fortunately Honolulu has no such church, and if thi. class worship at all they must listen to the Gospel. The new headings used on this number of the Friend will disappear with the next number, and new electrotypes, ordered from San Francisco will take their place. We are indebted to Mr. Spencer, the courteous foreman of the Saturday Press for the temporary use of these tasty headings. " gregation, leads his own choir, and is Superintendent of his own Sunday School besides doing excellent work in other directions, we are sorry to learn has heen very sick.

We congratulate our Anglican Church friends on the great success, financially and in every other way, of their recent They have demonstrated that fair. there is no need to resort to the numerous gambling devices which disgrace so so many church fairs, in order to raise money. In what other community of the size of Honolulu, could over $3,000 be legitimately netted by a fair in a single afternoon and evening? Why should it be thought necessary, because a newspaper is religious and not secular, that its columns should be "padded" with "leads" and "slugs," and and the headings of each article made to take up as much space as possible? We see no good reason for it, hence our instruction to our printer is, "Pack every By the short route, via San Francisco column as close as possible with reading and The Pacific, we have this item from matter." As a result we have doubled the amount of reading matter usually Honokaa: found in The Friend. La*t Nabba h(Nov. 16) wo had a concert, given by the " Sabbath-school—the flm in tho new building.

Brother Goodell send your items, in the future, to San Francisco, via Honolulu, and the columns of The Friend. As will be apparent to all, we have added four pages to the Friend. What may not be so apparent to the casual reader, we have widened the columns also. By this change we not only greatly improve the appearance of the paper, but, what is much more important, we gain a half column of space on each page, which formerly was lost in an unsightly, one-sided margin. Rev. W. A. Swan, conveying with him the aloha of hundreds of his friends outside the English Church, has left us for the Colonies, where he is to enter the regular ministerial work. The pupils of lolani College, of which he has been the very successful Head-master, presented him with a fine watch as a token of their regard, and St. Andrew's Church put in his hands a well-filled purse—and he deserved it all. The Chronicle, the organ of the Anglican Church in Hawaii, hasjust entered upon its third year, and celebrates the event by appearing with a much improved "head." The editorial "head"' remains the same, and could not well be improved, for Rev. Messrs. Mcintosh and Wallace have demonstrated that they know how to make an interesting religious newspaper. We wish our colleague all success, and hope that ere it reaches the venerableage of the Friend it may count its readers by the thousand. In our well-filled advertising columns our subscribers will find the names of most of Honolulu's sterling firms. We can vouch for the reliability and fairdealing of our advertising patrons. We shall rigidly exclude from our columns the advertisements of business houses or men with cloudy reputations for honesty.

The Mission Children's Society held their monthly meeting Saturday evening, December 27th, at Woodlawn," the residence of Mr. B. F. Dillingham. The exercises throughout were full of interest. It was especially agreeable to have a cousin present, in the person of Dr. E. M. Pease, from Strong's Island, who gave an interesting account of the missionary work in the regions from which he hailed. There were also present the Revs. W. B. Oleson, from Hilo, Hawaii, who spoke briefly of what is being done in the boarding schools for natives. He was followed by the Rev. Robert MacKenzie, of San Francisco, who made some happy remarks. A fact worthy of note is that there were no less than eight ministers present Mrs. Mary C. Leavitt, the temperance lecturer, was also there. New members elected: Miss Spooner and Miss Hall and the Rev. and Mrs. E. C. Oggel. The next regular meeting of the Society will be held at the residence of the President, Dr. C. M. Hyde.

A Pittsburg, Pa., church called Rev. Robert McKenzie, of the Howard Presbyterian Church, and the Doctor feeling the "drag" of five years of the high-pressure at which a minister must work on the Pacific Coast (we know what that Is, for we have tried it), accepted, and shipped his library. But his church said, "We must keep Mr. McKenzie!" and the Presbytery said in effect to the Pittsburg church, "We admire your judgment in the choice of a minister; but we know a good workman as well as you do, and need him as much. He cannot come. Send liaek his books."

The exercises were opened with prayer by the new teacher, who arrived here from China with Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Damon. The children, perhaps 50 in number, then read 1 Corinthians, l.'.th chapter, first in Chinese and then la English. This was followed by tbe reading of the 2;! d Psalm in Chinese. Tlie exercises were then continued in the following order: Song in Chinese, by the girls, "Jesus loves me;" led by Mrs. F. W. Damon. Recitation by the boys of a part of the 2d chapter of Luke.

Skttljl.no ourselves comfortably in our editorial arm-chair, the "ruling passion" instinctively leads first to an examination of The Fri end's exchanges. Among religious newspapers that one which comes first to hand is the venerable N. Y. Obxrrrcr, a Prime, sterling paper, blight and fresh, though now in its volume—though why it should be a "double-header" and separate so rigidly its "goats" of news-articles from its religious "sheep-fold" is more than we can understand.

From the far south, Dunedin, New Zealand, comes the Prcxhi/lcrian; a glance through the columns of which shows that somebody in tho Colonies knows how to make a good family religious newspaper. The Missionary Outlook, from Toronto, Canada completes the list of distinctively religious exchanges which haveas yet come to hand. But the sturdy Advocate of temperance and righteousness, published by the National Temperance Society of New York is without a peer in its destinctive field ot work. With a bright, new pair of scissors, and a paste-pot standing near at hand, such a list of exchanges make us long for a 82-page paper.

CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION AT THE CHINESE CHURCH. Having received an invitation to the Chinese Church last Wednesday evening to attend the exercises and to see the Christinas tree we accepted, and at halfpast six we were at the d(xir. The main room was tilled with Chinese, men, women and children. A Chinaman politely took us to another roam, where seats had been prepared for visitors. In this room was a beautiful Christmas tree prepared by kind hands, trimmed with maile, ferns and other decorations. Throughout the room there were presents for the children. The place was lit up with Chinese lanterns, and when the inas. Recitations followed by tho boys in English. "The raging waves dashed high," and "A boy stcxxl on the burning deck." Two little girls read from Matthew 2d, in English. The exercises were interspersed by brief remarks and explanations to the visitors present by Mr. F. W. Damon, the leader. The whole school all with banner in hand then sang: "Brightly gleams our banner," and tho children all waved their banners aloft. The presents were then distributed by Mr. and Mrs. Damon, assisted by Miss I'ayson who has conducted the English teaching of the boys. Two baskets laden with exquisite llowers stood on a table, from Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Damon, for Miss I'ayson and Miss Pearee respectively. It was a genuine pleasure to look into the bright, intelligent faces of the children, whose parents have come hither from an idolatrous land and to know that they are now being reached by the enlightening and saving influence of the Christian religion. And as we looked on, the words of the sacred writer came to us, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace and bring glad tidings of good things!" and the Master's saying: "Suffer little children to come unto me; for of such is the Kingdom of God." May the efficient, consecrated workers be strengthened to continue their noble endeavors in winning souls for "the great multitude, outof all nations, and kindred, and people and tongues, that stand before the throne."

Damon, - - - Editor. WOMAN'S WORK AMONG SEAMEN. Meeting a sailor a few days since, he referred to the fact that he had not received any letters from his friends tit home, '(but," he adds, ((I have received a letter from the Lady Missionary among Seamen in New York." This reminds us of the remarkable work now being done among seamen in England and America, by Christian ladies who are employed to labor among seamen. Some of the most successful laborer* among seamen in New York city are christian ladies. When last in New York, in 1880, we met several of these workers. Who can estimate the noble work among seamen in the British Navy by Miss Weston. This Christian lady is doing a great work among British seamen all over the world as well as in the home ports of England. Every month she sends forth one of her printed letters in a small monthly periodical of eight pages. These letters are freely distributed on all ships ol the British Navy. We often have met seamen who speak most enthusiastically of Miss Weston's efforts in their behalf. The success which attends the labors of Christian ladies among seamen should encourage others to go and do likewise. LOAN LIBRARIES. The effort to furnish vessels of war and merchant ships with libraries has become remarkably successful under the patronage of the American Seamen's Friend Society of New York. Since the enterprise was started, 12,078 libraries have been placed on shipboard. Lieutenant Richard Bush, U. 8. Navy, remarks in a note of thanks for the use of loan libraries placed on the U. S. S. Juniata: "As a life member of the American Seamen's Friend Society, and one who is in accord with its high object, I trust I may be permitted to say from the personal experience of several cruises, that these loan libraries are the most direct, effective and substantial way of reaching the sailor, and of giving him the benefit of religious, instructive and entertaining reading-matter. The result of this good work is incalculable, and the Navy is under a large debt of — obligation to your Society, which, for one, it gives me pleasure to acknowledge " THE FRIEND IN SOUTH AMERICA. Nearly forty years ago, a .stray number of the Friend found its way to Valparaiso, Chili, and was read by the Rev. Dr. Trumbull, Seamen's Chaplain. It suggested to his mind the idea of publishing a paper in that city, hence, he commenced the Neighbor, which was published in that city for nearly or quite twenty years, when it was discontinued. So pressing was tbe need of such a paper that it was revived under the name of the Record, and is still published by the Rev. Dr. Trumbull, now Senior Pastor of the Presbyterian church of that #ci.y. The October number of the tlecord was received by the last mail. It is No. 179 and Vol. 13, and is printed in octavo form of 10 pages, and the contents are most readable, containing a graphic sketch of Dr. Trumbull's visit to Talca, Talcahuano, Angel and Concepcion.. He preached in those cities in both English and Spanish. His influence in the Republic of Chili in promoting the circulation of the Bible and introducing a better religious tone among both foreigners and Chilians, have led to conferring upon him the honorable distinction of being styled the Luther of Chili. The Record contains the full report of u sermon by the Rev. M. Dodge, Dr. Trumbull's associate Pastor. AN ENGLISH SAILOR'S TRIBUTE TO A YANKEE SAILOR'S YARN. In the issue of the Gazette of the 17th uit. there is a capital and appreciative critique upon Dana's. "Two Years before the Mast." We distinctly remember reading the book when it was first published, about the year 1840 or '41. It had a wonderful sale and the Harpers arc reported to have made many thousands while the writer only received an insignificant amount for the copyright for twenty years. When Mr. Dana visited the islands a quarter of a century ago, we heard him partially repeat the story of his cruise on the coast of California. While thus referring to tinarticle copied, from the pen of W. Clark Russell, from the Contemporary Review), we are reminded of the whispered reason why the British Admiralty encouraged a generous supply of ((Two Years before the Mart," to be distributed among sailors in the British Navy, viz: to dissuade "British Tars" from deserting the '(English Flag" and enlisting under the "Stars and Stripes." Mr. Dana docs certainly depict most vividly the rather hard usage the Yankee sailors bad in the days when the "Cat and nine tails" wain use. SOUTH AMERICAN MISSION WITH THE NATIVES OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO. We are rejoiced to learn from the Valparaiso Jlecord that this mission continues to flourish. It will be remembered that it was originally founded by the noble Missionary Capt. .Gardner, who perished by starvation. This, true missionary martyr deserves to be ranked among the moral heroes of the world. It Is a remarkable fact that from among the otlii ers of tbe Royal Navy of England there have arisen some of the best and noblest Christian workers of modern times. Capt. Gardner deserves to hold the first rank. He chose for his field of labor the forlorn and desolate regions of Cape Horn. There, among the ignorant, besotted, degraded and outcast Tierra del Fuegians, he spent the closing years Volume 43, No. 1 of his most useful life. It was for the temporal and spiritual welfare of this heathen and cannibal people that he cast his lot among them. So successful were Captain Gardner and his associates that even Mr. Charles Darwin, the naturalist, was led to believe in the success of Missions, and actually contributed annually for the support of the South American Mission. It appears that a scientific expedition has been sent out to Cape Horn. In the communication made before the French Geographical Society by Captain Martial, relative to the scientific mission of the Romarushe, to Cape Horn, he said that the English Piotestant Mission of Ooshoovia had contributed greatly, if not to the civilization of Tierra del Fuego, at least to reclaiming them from savage life and manners. Consequently, when he quitted the island in September last, he with the consent of the French Government, made over to the missionaries the large range of huts which the French survey hud erected for their lodgings and meteorological and magnetic observations. "A WORD FITLY SPOKEN, HOW GOOD IT IS." More than thirty years ago a young sailor passing up Nuuanu street one Sabbath morning, was met by a lady going to worship at the Bethel who invited him to attend church, but he hurried away. Years pass on and the sailor boy became commander of a vessel in the U. S. Navy and served his country during the civil war. • Other years pass and he returns to Honolulu, but he had not forgotten the lady's invitation to attend divine worship. He seeks her home and most gratefully acknowledges her Christian kindness and the good which he had thereby received. ((A word fitly spoken, how good it is." 1 The Rev. Frank Thompson, formerly Pastor of the Foreign Church in Hilo, Hawaii, and more recently Pastor of the Congregational Church in Wilton, Ct, is now Seaman's Chaplain at Valparaiso, Chili. Witty was the rejoinder of Thackeray to Montalembert at the Derby, the race which is run annually at Epsom. The Frenchman noticed on the course several men dressed as fancy sailors, not Ihe genuine article. "Ah," said Montalembert, "these, 1 suppose, are some of what you call your British tars?"

But as, with the growth of the community, there are now many who are unacquainted with the work of this Board and its relations to the Christian welfare of the islands of the North Pacific Ocean, a few words of explanation seem desirable. This Board was formed in the year 1803 to be the executive body of the "Hawaiian Evangelical Association," which by its Constitution comprises, "all the ordained clergymen, both native and foreign, of the Congregational and Presbyterian orders on the various Islands of Hawaii and of Micronesia and the Marquesas Islands; together with such laymen as may be elected from time to time by a two-thirds vote; together also " 9 THE FRIEND. seiiii-aiiiiually.

From the Missionary Herald for November we learn that the total receipts up to that date toward the building and equipping of the ((Morning Star" No. 4 were $40,509 30. The total cost, ready for sea, at Boston, was nearly $41,000. She sailed from Boston for these islands Nov. sth, and will be due here about the first of next March. The passage is to be made under sail, as her steam is only for auxiliary use, and the instructions of the American Board are that "its use is to lie avoided" * * * ((whenever sails can fairly be relied upon. Her steam power is sufficient to make from six to seven knots per hour in ordinary weather, but it is not expected that she will ordinarily use more than would be required to give a speed of from four to five knots an hour. We clip the following from the Boston Congregationalist of Nov (ith: Regarding the boilers of the Morning Star and her detention, we are authorized to state that the lioilcrs were tested by the Government inspectors at Portland and certified as '(.sound, safe and fit for use." ln addition to this tho superintendent of the Delamater Iron Works of New York says of the same class of boilers, ((1 am fully prepared to advocate these boilers. They have now been used in the Louisiana for five years and the old bottoms were quite perfect when overhauled last spring. They are fast steaming, economical and strong boilers." The detention of the Star has been on account of the pump above. On the final test in running all the machinery tne pump did not work satisfactorily and the builders at once replaced it by a Dean pump of approved class. Captain Bray will come out as commander of the new Morning Star, with Mr. Oarland as mate. Arthur Logan, a Mm of Rev. R. W. Logan, is also expected as a passenger by the Star. He goes to rejoin his parents at their new station on Ruk. Receipts of the Hawaiian Board from November 22(1 to December 22d, 1884. Foit Foreign Missions. !.,.:,.il_ Knreli.it Church, A. P.

R Kinney, - - - Editor. Last meeting the resignation of C. 8. Secretary, was presented to the Association and accepted. Steps will be taken at once to secure a successor. Mr. Mason has gone right to work in California and will probably remain somewhere in that State. We wish him all success. Mason, our General Mr. Geering, who has so faithfully filled the position of janitor for the Y. M. C. A. building, has resigned his position to accept a more advantageous one with a business house of this city. The Association, we are sure, hits appreciated his careful attention to every detail of his work with us, and feel assured that he will give satisfaction elsewhere. Mr. Gonzalves takes his place. The following is a list of members who have joined the Association since April of last year, some being merely associate, however the majority aro full members. Those who have not signed the Constitution in the hands of the Secretary should do so at once. G. F. Spackman, W. H. Baird, C. Crozier, T.C. Morris, T. May, J. 11. Reist, F. J. Chapman, Thos. S.

Mr. Yarndley's singing class was discoursing melody in the room above, which may have had something to do with the enthusiasm of those in the room below. The meeting was inspiriting—at least in one of its features. President Jones spoke rather discouragingly concerning the committee work of the year, which called Mr. Davies to his feet. The latter gentleman then gave an exceedingly interesting account of what he saw of Y. M. C. A. work during a recent short stay in San Francisco. He happened to be there during the session of the Y. M. C. A.convention of the state. He said be had been encouraged, _ nay, inspired, by the words and acts of the ('hrist lan young men of 'al i forn ia. He had not before realized what Y. M. C. A. work, in its fullness, really •was. And he hoped thnt our association would be able to send a delegate to the next convention to be held in San Francisco, President Jones said that there was a chance that General Sot-rotary McCoy, of San Francisco, would visit the Islands next February; and, if he canie, much good was to be hoped from the visit. Treasurer Kinney reported a satisfactory financial condition. The resignation of General Secretary Mason was accepted. The following persons were elected members: Messrs. Herbert, W. Deals, T. Douglass, Wallace Porteus, F. W. Yates and LouisT. Valentine.—-/Saturday ]*resit. PROHIBITION AND THE U. S. ELECTION. [ Cornin un i ( ;itcd] What the full result of the recent presidential election In the United States will be upon the Prohibition movement it is impossible to say, but that in the main it will cause niarketl advancement in the Prohibition party we do not doubt. This election must murk ;i new era in the cause. It is and for some time has been one of the great questions of the hour and in u land where politics, from the nature of the Government, must necessarily mirror the questions agitating the mass, it is idle antl wrong to hope or attempt to isolate this issue from the political movements of the people. It must and will appear there. Party leaders undoubtedly will resist any Innovation which will endanger party success*. Daniel Webster, Rufus Choate and other Whig leaders deprecated, deplored the defection of followers opposed to slavery, which resulted in the disintegration of the Whig party. Bald Webster, speaking of the anti-slavery movement, this agitation must he stopped; slavery is a local issue. You in the North must leave it alone." .lames (1. Blame, standing in a similar position, I decline to said recently in Augusta, vote on prohibition in my own State because it is a dual issue, and I wish to show that I consider it such. It must not be brought into a national contest." The results in either of these two cases show how futile it la for any man or set of men to attempt to stay the workings of a great movement among ugreat think- " " ing people. Temperance, by the last election, became a prominent factor in the national contests in the United States, and will continue to be such until that issue is settled and settled right. Many may re- sist this, many may deprecate it, many may be alienated from the Prohibition ranks by this new departure. This must be expected. So it was with the Whig party when the defection occurred which resulted in the Republican party. But the young party, having the moral courage to face the questions of the hour, Volume 43, No. 1 soon gathered to itself the flower of the land. There is not n party in theUnited States to-day that has the vital power or force of the Prohibition party. It is young, it is growing, its sfar is in the ascendant. Other parties point to the past; it points to the future. Other parties are more or less negative and defensive. The temperance party Is positive, decisive, having the courage of Its own convictions and back if it all represents a principle which appeals to all that is best in man. Already thai party, small as it may seem, cannot be rivalled for the ability, eloquence and worth of its leaders. The people of the United Stales themselves are more ready to meet this question than one would suppose from the language! of party leaders. Canada has already instituted local option in a large majority of her counties—certainly the United States can do as well. Southern a.s well as Northern States are moving rapidly that way. Many ridicule the possibilities above suggested, and point to tin: comparative insignificance of the recent vote for St. John. Well, men laughed when old John Brown and family opened war upon the United States at Harper's ferry for the crime of slavery. But who laughs now? It is true John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave, but his SOU] goes marching on. As Wendell Phillips once said when the abolition movement was ridiculed and its Insignificance in numbers, position, Ac, pointed out, » Well, what of it ? What was ridiculed yesterday is the popular creed to-day, and will be as trite its the multiplication table to-morrow." So we welcome the advent of this new movement, even though a ft.w may petulantly desert its principles, because it caused the defeat of a party —and we believe the day not far distant when, as the prohibition loaders -,;iy, -<a schoolbouse shall crown the hill-top of every village, and no saloon shall be found in the valley below."

But is there not a hint in this paragraph to some of the ((Lord's Stewards" to whom He has enontiusted wealth? The Y. M. C. A. Would gladly send its receipt for two or three such chocks, and could wisely use the money. If there aro more who '(wish to administer on their own estates," there aro plenty of other worthy Institutions and causes: Oahu College, the proposed Hospital and Home for Leper children, the Bethel Union Church and the Fort Street Church, could each make excellent use of such checks.
