VALEDICTORY.
Forty-two years ago, the 18th of this
month, was issued Volume I, No. 1, of
The Friend. 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

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

Some of the errors in information (?)

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

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.

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.

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

these tasty headings.

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,

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. Consequently our subscribers
on the other Islands, or in other countries,
can confidently order by mail anything
needed from any firm advertising in The
Friend.

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 Teachers Association meets in
annual convention, their sessions to continue for two days. Mr. 11. G. Townsend, of Lihue, was chosen President,
and Miss Lulu L. Moore, * Secretary.
There were present, in all, twenty-eight
teachers, eighteen of these being ladies.
Just as we go to press, Mr. Moore, of
Wailuku, has delivered an Interesting
lecture uix.u "The Teaching of English

Howard Presbyterian Church, and the
Doctor feeling the "drag" of five years

his church said, "We must keep Mr.

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

Recitation by the boys of a part of the

Singing of a hymn in Chinese by the

to attend the exercises and to see the

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

Two little girls read from Matthew

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."

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

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,

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."

EXPLANATORY.
As has been stated in the Prospectus
of this paper for the current ..oar, the
Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association," commonly known by its
briefer title, the '(Hawaiian Board," is
to have the use of one page in each issue.
A large proportion of the readers of
the Friknd on these Islands are already
familiar with the history and work of
this Board. 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

Tut: duties of this Board are to perform
any agency requested of it by the Prudential Committee of the "American
Hoard of Commissioners for Foreign

Hoard in the North Pacific, ami to "take
charge of Home Missions on these Hawaiian Islands; the education of a Native
Ministry, and of females who may become teachers and Pastors' wives; the
preparation, publication and circulation
of useful books and tracts, and also of
Foreign Missions so far as the conduct of

charge of and tlie dlsbursal of funds contributed for these objects, from whatever source."
This Hoard is an incorporated body,
having received a Charter from the Hawaiian Government in the year 1873;
and the Corresponding Secretary of the
Hoard is also its general executive officer,
having the oversight oi the work on
these islands in its various departments

THE NEW MORNING STAR.
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.

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

DECEMBER MONTHLY MEETING.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Y. M. C. A. was held in tlie library room
of the Y. M. C. A. building last Thursday evening. 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

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."

J. A. 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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

We have received from Dr. Kittridge,

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

friends. Her heaven will lie worth the

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. Oggel, the pastor, appealing to the scholars to dedicate themselves to the service of Jesus without
delay. 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

will commend itself to us who owe so
much to Mrs. Leavitt, both for her lovely

THE BROADER CHURCH.
In reading English current religious
intelligence, we read about the Broad
Church party in the Established Church.
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. Our Savior's language is full
of meaning; "By this shall all men
know ye are my disciples, if ye love
one another."

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.

is such a recognized power in that great

THE CHINESE PROBLEM.
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.

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.

"I am very sorry, Wilbur, but we shall

These words were spoken in the private office of the large manufactory of

was sitting in a chair by the desk. He

man to whom they were ■ddretved stood
with one hand upon the knob of the door;

After the gentleman at the desk had

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

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

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

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

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

Owing to the jircss of matter (in our

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

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.

Aye. But our hearts are full of tears,
for they are very human. At Daniel

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

During all the three years and more of
our intimate work together there was
never a hint of that narrow, grasping,

shown by him, which so often mars the
characters of otherwise goes! and able
men.
He was larger than any church

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

Never shall we forget the day when the
transfer of The Fkiend was completed,
how, as he passed out from the room, he
turned, and with tear-rilled eyes and
quivering voice, said, as he grasped the
hand which writes these lines: "I want
you young men to know how constantly
I thank Cod for sending you here to take
up this work, and how heartily I appreciate the work you are doing! 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

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,

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;

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

He was married to Julia Sherman

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

them the Word of God and the knowledge of salvation through Jesus in their
own language.

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

seed that tiears abundant fruit, not in

Hence the glory of Dr. Damon's work

and see him, a young, earnest man,
devoted to Jesus and his life-work.
There ho goes, carrying hisjiusket full

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

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—

we not say of him: <He Was a good man

that he has done will lie gratefully remembered by all classes of Christians,
by the stranger, especially, by 'them

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.

Drinking men are almost always smokers or
chewers, and many a drunkard owes his ruined

formed by the use of tobacco, and the company
into which it led him.
Old cigiir-stninps are often pioked up from the

is worse than disgusting ; for in this way, diseases may be spread, coming from the months of
the lirst users. These stumps are the "strongest"

nicotine, whioh thus goes into the cigarettes.
A boy who uses tobacco runs the risk of being
dwarfed in body, mind and soul ;—of becoming a

MR. FORBES' ADDRESS.
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

while visiting the Coast in 1878, she was

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

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.

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

—
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

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.

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

longer or shorter time, to this Church

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

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.

loves her child. Let the Ladies prayer

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.

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.

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.

SKATING RINKS.
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

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.

We must economize ? Yes. But to
begin by discharging clerks with families; tutting down the salaries of those

leaving the old tumble down fence, and

form themselves intelligently in regard
to all phases of the temperance question
and work. 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

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.

Miss Cleveland's personal appearance
is thus described :
In looks Miss Cleveland reminds one of Anna
Dickinson; perhaps because she wears her hair in
the same stylo. Yet there is nothing mannish about
her, and in private she is rather too modest than
otherwise. Her voice is clear, and her articulation
distinct, making her a tine speaker. Since 1882
she has given frequent lectures at the college,
which have been very popular with the young Indies. Her name is found in the last catalogue in
the Faculty as Lecturer on Mediteval History. The
country may congratulate itself upon hating so
intelligent and public-spirited n Christian woman

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

In another article the editors give to

Editorially the Observer says: Few men

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 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.

THE BETHEL OF NEW ORLEANS.
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:
"

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;

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."

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

�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.

THE FRIEND AND POLITICS.
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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

HONOKAA.
A valuetl correspondent sends us the following: A very successful Easter concert
was given by the Sabbath School in llonokaa,on the sth. 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. TheSabbath school
has been presented with a book-case, and
the school at Hilo has given a number ot
volumes, which will form thenucleus of a

"IS CHRIST WANTED TO-DAY?"
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." It is one thing to talk

ITEMS.
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. The John Williams,

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

MR. 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. The ladies
have alwaya given hearty support to all

The young men of this city would do
well to read this address, which is to be
found iv our read ing-room. 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."

A friend of mine, who is on tho other
side of fifty, and whose life has been devoted to the accumulation of wealth, and
who has not been unsuccessful in his life's
work, said to me not long since, "I'm
going to be like General Jackson now;
I'm going to cheat the devil and turn
Presbyterian." 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.

you can choose that special form of. worship best suited to your tastes and early

ANNOUNCEMENT.
We are glad to be able to announce that
in our next issue, and regularly thereafter,
we shall devote one page o/The Friend
to the interests of Education*. This De-

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 :

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

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

Congress of the Established Church.
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

mind you, but continued drunkards [Snnt'er).

are committed when in a condil ion of drunkenness.
When persons beoome so poor that they must

In a nue provinces the number of saloons stands in

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,

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.
On Sunday evening May 31st, we had

THEPEW.
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,

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.

that sense, though it is pi wallill.) that
some Congregational pews have their relation quite as much .Methodist as any-

thing else.

And that man—it must be Unit he sits

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. There is an

CAPTIN
BRAY.
The coming and going of the Morning
Star, does not come particularly within
our province. 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

for him to give
up his charge of the Morning Star, we
believe he would make some Association
a most admirable general secretary. To
anticipate such an event as this is like
crossing bridges before getting to
them." Hut in thought of its possibility, we cannot forego our natural
question: Who could take his place in the

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.
The natural scenery is surpassingly attractive—
mountains among the loftiest in the world, val-
leys the most beautiful, a sea varied in all the
colors of the rainbow, and broad fields covering
tho heaviest harvests of sugar cine.

THE "WASTED" SERMON.

western sky and it did not need the wisdom of a weather prophet to predict

hoping against hope that the storm might

and sighed wearily as be took up the sermon he had just been reading over.

who was sitting in her low chair before

is the last Sunday before communion, and
I spent so much labor on these two sermons, thinking that surely some good

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

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."

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.

Don't say that," answered his wife.
You have done your part, now trust the

it was with a heavy heart that he sought
his pillow.

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.

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

THE NEW REVISION.
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

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. The book was laid awa\.
and has remained anased. The few have studied
it, and with them it has steadily increased in favor.
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

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
The Nation of America once a year devotes a day to —I Venal Jubilation over
the goodness of God in giving us our national liberty, thus preserving the honor
and tradition of Independence I lay. It is
natural that the American people si Id
be prepared to enter enthusiastically into
the patriotic ceremonies with which this
anniversary of our Nation's birth is celebrated. The craving for lila-rty is not
new. It Is Wentitled with the earliest
periods of history, ami to attain it men
have used the power of concentrated
force. 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? It throbs
in the heart's pulsations; it illumines
every face. Thus from year to year the
nation gives a passing day to the contemplation of its civic existence and material
progress. In the American age 177(1 is
most replete with interest. It stands in
history famous for the Declaration of Independence, The Fourth of July is celebrated because that is the day when the
document was dated. Yet we do not celebrate the act of a day. Weeomnieniorate
a period of great events; a period that
siw men's faith and spirits sorely tried.
We recall political ami social emergencies, ami perceive how the leading men,
statesmen ami soldiers of Unit period,
dealtwith those ci gencies. The Dee*
laration of Independence is therefore a
mere exponent; it is an epitome of the
times; it symbolised the creation of an
Independent Nation; it was a greeting to
old England—kind, yet Ira and determined, "We Stop being a dependency In
a foreign crown; we set up forourselve-.
Ami they' called the heritage America;
but one name*, to work out under one Hag

A century and more of the Nation's existence is behind us ami it liven

OAHU COLLEGE.
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

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-

OUR PURPOSE.
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-

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.

EDITOR.
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

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.

ANNUAL MEETING.
During the first week of June the Ha-
waiian Evangelical Association was in
session in this town, with an attendance
of thirty-three minsters ami thirteen lay
delegates. Sixteen ministers failed to
attend. The sessions lasted through the
week ami were harmonious and full of
interest. 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. We devote
this page largely this month to extracts
from the annual reports read before the
Association, as they will thus reach a
large number of readers Who may not see
the reports in their pamphlet form as issued by the Hawaiian Hoard. The actual
receipts of the treasury for all purposes,
have been $15,50'.)..'C1, to which adding
the balance from last year amounting to
$3,815.70, the total for the year is
$19,325.12. The total expenditures for
all purposes have been $17,(118.57, leaving a balance on band of $1,706.61.
Five pastors have

Houston of the Kobala Foreign Church,
Rev. T. S. Rouse of the Makawao Foreign Churreh, Rev. Z. S. K. Paaluhi of
Haiku, Rev.P. Ksaupual of Huelo, and
Rev. J. 11. l'aihio of Onomea. Three
have accepteetl calls: Rev. E. C. Qggel
to the Rethel Church, Honolulu, Rev. 11.
Jordan to the Kobala Foreign Church,
and Rev. /. S. K. Paaluhi to the Wailuku Church on Maui.
Three new pastors have been ordained:
Rev. W. M. Kalaiwiui as pastor of
the Church of East Hamakua, Hawaii,
Rev. S. L. Desha its pastor of the Church
Kealakekua and Komi Waena, Hawaii,
and S. Kaiupa as pastor of the Church at
Anahola, Kauai; all three graduates of
tho N. P. M. institute last year.
Two pastors have been Installed: Rev.
Rev. 8. W. Kekuewn, In January, 1885,
over the North Kobala Church, and Rev.
Z. S. K. Paaluhi, over the Wailuku
Church, Maui, in May, 1885.
One pastor, Rev. S. C. Damon, who
resigned last year, has died. One, Rev.
E. Helekunihi, at his his own request
has been permitted by the Presbytery of
Maui to demit the ministry, and four
have been deposed by the Oahu Assocla-
tion, viz: A. Kaoliko, Hauaihilo, J. Manuela, and I). Kekiokalaui.
There are twenty Churches now without pastors: eleven on the Island of Hawaii, six on Maui, two on Oahn and one
oii Kauai.
Our Hawaiian Sabbath Schools, both
foreign and native, have, up to dale,
taken $823 worth of stock in the
new Morning Slur at 20 cents a share,
and it Is hoped that they will enter
heartily into co-operation with the Sabbath Schools of the United States in providing for her running expenses by
contributing at the rale of at least 10
cents per share each year for I hat purpose. It is an interesting fact that of
the above amount of stock taken in the
Morning Star, 87.75 was taken by Unchristian Chinese, ami 87.75 by Gilbert
Islanders residing in Honolulu; while
.■s|:{.7u additional has been taken in the
Marshall Islands.
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. M. ('. A.
ami other Christian workers in Honolulu.
2. That we authorise our Secretary to
■end to the Rev. J. A. Cru/.an, I'astor of
the Fort Street Church, of Honolulu, and
one of the Committee on Home Missions
in connection with the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, a set of all the books
and tracts published by our mission, with
the bound volumes of our newspaper,
one hundred hymn-books without tunes,
thirty hymn-liooks with tunes, and two
copies of the Romanized hymn-book, to
be used for the benefit of the Japanese
as may seem to him best.
8. That we ask the Committee of the
Whereat, Nine hundred
Volume 43, No. 7
American Tract Society to add sets of
books published by them, and also an
assortment of tracts for gratuitous distribution.
4. That wo request Mr. Atkinson to
write to Mr. Cru/.an in behalf of the
mission, assuring him of the great interest we take in all they are doing and
planning to do for their Japanese Immigrants, furnishing him with a copy of
these resolutions to.be presented to the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association at
their annual meeting next June, and
asking him and them to communicate
with us freely on any matter in which
we can aid them in their labors for these
immigrants.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

into a free and happy psople, we also

and freedom which they founded so
grandly and successfully. That only

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

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

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

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

the Foreign Mission work.

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

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

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

such powers as to bring himself up lo the level of

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

the stars shine out m their beauty, while they revolve with suoh perfect mathematical accuracy,

A BIT OF DIFFERENCE.
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

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

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:

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

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.

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.

his own Sunday school class. In the second, he
was shown to a not very good sitting, with frigid

VACATION NOTES.
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

During our brief stay we took tea
with them at their pleasantly situatetl
home. 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.

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

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

HAWAIIAN H.BOARD
AN EMPTY MANTLE.
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:

SECTARIANISM.
A sectarian is apartizan. 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.

—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

GENERAL GRANT.
Ulysses S. 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

EDITORIAL NOTES.
We had the pleasure at the Volcano
House to make the acquaintance of. Mr.
and Mrs. Merton R. Cotes, of Bournemouth, England.
Our readers will
doubtless peruse with interest the article
on Australian matters, written by Mr.
Cotes for this number of The Friend.
Mr. and Mrs. Cotes are probably at this
time in New York City. We wish them
a prosperous and pleasant voyage across
the Atlantic and a safe arrival at their
home in England.
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. A., whose rare
ability as a pnblio speaker is well known, is announced to lecture at the Y. M. G. A. Hall for the
benefit of the French church, on the subject,
'Lemuel in neuron of a wife.'
"
Ur. 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.

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

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

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 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.

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

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,

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.

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

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.

are in any degree reversing this divine

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.

CHILD-LABOR IN HAWAII.
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

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
