THE WEEK OF PRAYER.
This season of prayer, set apart for the
Church of God throughout the earth to
pray unitedly for the speedy and universal establishment of the Kingdom of
Christ, is at hand. The week will be observed as heretofore, by union meetings
of the Fort Street and Bethel Union
Churches, at the latter church from eleven
o'clock a. m. for one hour, and the evening
meetings at Fort-St. Church at half-past
-even. As followers of (Jod we lielieve in
Hun as the hearer of prayer. We know
from His Word and by experience that
Divine Compassion can pardon our offences, that Divine Wisdom can enlighten
our ignorance, and Divine Power
strengthen our weakness. We know too
that there is great ellicacy in united, fervent prayer fir our own spiritual growth
and happiness, and for the regeneration
of the world ;:t large. We therefore desire to say to nil who are of the household
of faith : Let us look to this Week of
Prayer with gl id expectancy; let all decide beforehand that no pressure of work
and no engagem nisof a business or social
character shall prevent attendance at the
meetings. Do not come, as is often done,
to one or two or a few of the meetings,
but come every tini \ Come, not in a dejected mood, as if .ircst's ok Naz.vhktii

His cause and ours are one. And the
Lokd Jkhus has the fullness of the Holy
Spirit! He can and will bless us, and
He can reach and transform and draw
unto Himself every heart in this city.
O, only believe, for according to your
faith shall it be unto you. Extend the
invitation and assure all of a welcome.
And may Christ's great salvation come
to every household and to all hearts.
God grant it.

IT DOES NOT PAY.
The experience of the world has been
crystalized in the maxim •< Honesty is
the best policy." Even men dishonest
at heart arc shrewd enough to see that
the ■hottest road to permanent, abiding
success, is not along the by-ways of
tricks," and "dodges," and dishonesty,
but that it lies along the air line of rectitude and strict integrity. In the business world there is no capital so sure to
bring regular and satisfactory returns as
old-fashioned honesty.
And what is true of men is true of communities and vat ions. Years ago Milton
teisely, forcibly, put this truth. He said:
"
"A commonwealth ought to be but as one huge
personage, one mighty growth and stature of an
Imi,est man, as big ami compact in virtue as in
body ; for look, what the grounds and causes are
of single happiness to one man, and the same ye
shall find them to a whole state."
Aye : it is just as true of a nation as it
is of a man, that Honesty is the best
policy." Let political corruption and the
taint of rottenness fasten upon and permeate a community and the results from
a material point of view are disastrous.
The general social life will so deteriorate
that thoughtful parents will feel that they
cannot afford to rear children in such a
moral atmosphere. The foundations of
business will become so insecure that
honest tradesmen will desert such a community as rats do a sinking ship.
Cincinnati, Ohio, is now presenting an
example of the truth of what we have
just written. That city has become notorious for election frauds, Sabbath breaking, and dram-drinking with all its train
of evils. The courts have become so corrupt, or lax, that it has become almost
impossible to punish crime ; and so great
have become the outrages upon decency
that last year a mob took possession of
the city, and a reign of terror prevailed.
But the lawless element, instead of being
checked by this outburst of the pent-up
indignation and wrath of a sorely tried
community, are displaying increasing
shamelessness and audacity. The last
election was notorious for its frauds, and
for the liold attempt of the lawless element to over-ride the will of the people.
And Cincinnati is paying the penalty. A
-The National Baptist has a very recent number of The Congregationalist,

"Daysman" for every one !
We stand on the threshold of a New
Year, 188G. Let us each ti.ke Paul's
motto :
Forgetting those things which
are behind, anil reaching forth unto those
things which are before, I press toward
the mark." Press forward hopefully.
You ought to make this a better year
than any of your life, for have you not
all your past experience to help you ? Do
you not know more of God's love than
you did a year ago? Are you not better
armed to resist temptation? Have you
not learned much oven from past failures?

As a natural oonsequence the trade of that city
has been affected unfavorably. Business men elsewhere, accustomed heretofore to supplythemselves
■iith goods in Cincinnati, have beguu tosend their

1870," the "entire clothing trade of Cincinnati,
which amounts to $20,000,000 yearly, is threatened
with destruction," and "nearly all the leading lines
are similarly threatened." Possibly this dispatch
presents an unduly gloomy view of the tituatiou,
but it is undeniable that trade in that city is in a
bad way, and that prominent business men are
very outspoken in attributing the state of business
to the existence of political corruption as the
prime cause.
Is there not a lesson in all this for Hawaii ? Whether there be any justification for it or not, the fact is that a general lack of confidence, and n feeling of
distrust and insecurity prevails in this
Kingdom. Some of our very best citizens have already gone from us, and
more are discussing seriously the question of finding homes elsewhere. The
universal verdict is,
Business never
was so dull before !" We suggest that
the most potent means for the restoration
of the prosperity of this Kingdom will be
found, not in a war against this man or
that man, or set of men, but in impressing firmly upon the minds of all that success lies along the line of strict integrity;
llighteousness exthat it is true that

THE STANFORD GIFT.
The recent act of Leland Stanford
and his wife in giving away the greater
part of their wealth towards founding the
Leland Stanford Junior University
in memory of their son who has passed
away, is one so entirely out of the course
of ordinary affairs that it seems more
like romance than reality. The gift to
the State of California of eighty-seven
thousand acres of land which are said to
have a present value of five million dollars and which before or at the close of
this century may be worth twenty millions, with an additional munificent endowment for the maintenance of the
Institution and to carry out all the objects contemplated, is indeed a magniticent benefaction. The Institution being
designed for both sexes, Mr. and Mrs.
Stanford may be said to have made
the boys and girls of California their
heirs, and in their desire to promote tho
public welfare they have done a deed
the greatness and beneficence of which
neither they nor we can understand.
They have not built for to-day but for all
time; not for this generation alone but
for those to come.
Bearing on this new University to be
erected at Palo Alto, we find the following important provisions in the articles
of endowment.
"That there shall be taught in the
University the existence of an all-wise

C. M. llydi:, L.D.
In accepting the trust created by tho

Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the trustees
therein named have deemed it best to
prepare and publish this Prospectus of
the Kamehaineha Schools. This action
has been considered advisable both for
iheir own guidance in administering the
trust, and for the purpose of making such
public announcement of their plans, as
shall meet the constant inquiries of those
interested in the right disposition of this

these i-iauds.
In accordance with the terms of the
will, the Hoys' School will he established

reason now for desiring or attempting
any such institutions. The two schools
will be locatetl in Honolulu but in opposite
quarters of the city. The (Jills' School
will be near the Lunalilo Home in Mnkiki; the Hoys' School beyond the lteformatory on the western limits of Palatini.
The will expresses a wish that land
belonging to the estate should be chosen
for the location of the two schools, rather
than that money should be spent in purchasing a site. The trustees have decided that these locations are not only admirably adapted for school purposes, but
better than any that could be bought out-

A paper by Mr. E. N. Dyer of the AinaUea English School, Kohala, on Encouragements and Discouragements in
the work of teaching English," was read
by Dr. C. M. Hvni:. We make the following extracts.
"Among the DiscouragemenU are these: the inability of llawaiians to give the consonant sounds;
the utter lack of wholesome restraint in
Hawaiian homes ; the fact that girls show
no other ambition than to reach the age
of fifteen, ami to secure lawful dismissal
from school; the non-attendance of pupils
at Sabbath service and Sunday School;
the increasing use of opium, tobacco, and
intoxicating drinks by the children; the
general sad influence of < Ihinese shops on
the rising generation ; the unwillingness
of Portuguese to permit the regular attendance of their children ; the bad use
(and little good use) nude of English;
the fact that older scholars are not fond
of reading English books; the general
ambition of Hawaiian boys to be 'shipped
hands' on a plantation. Among the Encouragements are these : that so many
enter the higher schools ; that those who
stop going toschool obtain respectable employment, receiving good wages ; that
Hawaiian parents desire to give their
children an Knglish education ; that Portuguese mothers in so many instances,
seeing the advantages of English for
their children, willingly purchase the
books required and have their children
attend ; and that so much progress is
made In attention to personal appearance.
The conclusion is that this work pays if
our aim be to build up character, but if
we desire only to impart a smattering of
English it is a most unsatisfactory and
unprofitable business.

THE WORK OF THE Y. M. C. A.
Many regard the. Young Men's Christian Association simply as a "City of
Refuge" into which the guilty and sinning may flee for succor and safety, but
think it bears no relation to the guileless
and upright who are unpursued by some
avenger of broken law.
While all that may be said in favor of
the Association as a help in reformation
may be true, yet the institution is quite
as valuableand as much needed to shelter
the innocent from the attacks of the
spoiler, as it is to win back to the paths
of virtue and righteousness those who
have wandered therefrom. The bright
pure boy of to-day will be the spotless,
noble man BO much needed to-morrow, if
he can only be safely kept through the
intervening hours of boyhood's twilight
ami manhood's dawn.
In this somewhat difficult task the
Association seeks to lend a helping hand.
During the seven days and evenings
of each week cheerful and commodious
rooms are constantly open, provided with
Social companionships, where the leisure
hours may be spent not only agreeably,
but profitably, and safely away from the
glitter and gilded allurements of vice.
In this city where so much of the social life tends downward, let the fathers,
motheis.and friends of the boys and the
young men, in their homes and out of
them, seek to inspire them with interest
in this noble work, the influence of which
brings unmeasured blessing to the
Church, the home and the community.
ITEMS.
Two royal palms have been planted in
front of the building—one on each side
of the entrance —which greatly improve
the general appearance from the street.
The Y. M. C. A. had a Christmas
present of five dozen cane-seat chairs

prominent members. Ye who complain
of hard seats, "Go thou and do likewise."
The new parlor games have proved
quite an attraction to the young men.
On one evening recently fourteen were
counted at one time pleasantly occupied
in the two social rooms, besides others in
the reading room.
So ninny things were crowded into
Christmas Week in our little community
that the Entertainment Committee
thought it best to defer our regular entertainment, that would have come on
Thursday of that week, until some time
in January.
Perhaps by that time
another man-of-war may drop her anchor
in our sheltering harbor. If so, we will
be able to extend a cordial aloha.
Young men who are in sympathy with
our work, and especially those who are
members of the Association, can render
a most valuable service by inviting their
friends or acquaintances to our building.
Come in with then), and introduce lliem
to the General Secretary.
Spend an
hour or an evening with them in the
parlor over the Interesting games always
to be had there.
Make them feel at
home. Show them that you are truly
and practically interested in them, and
in the Young .Men's Christian Association. One of the members who joined
at the last meeting came as the result of
just that kind of work.
MONTHLY MEETING.
Although the evening was one of tho
most unpleasant of the season, yet there
was a surprisingly good attendance, and
the meeting was up to the average in
interest. Prest. Atiierton presided.
The reports from theCommittees present
showed an unremitted work was going
on which we hope to make more aggressive in the future.
Among other
duties, the General
Secretary had made seventy-seven calls,
attended twenty-one religious meetings,
and conducted the Sunday evening services for Itiov. 11C. OOORL at the Bethel
Union Church on two occasions.
Two new members were elected.
T. S. Nor in wirK was elected Treasurer for the balance of the year.
The interests of the Boys' Branch was
discussed, and a committee appointed to
co-operate more intimately with this important department of our Association.
Bear in mind that a membership ticket
in the Association, costing only two dollars, entitles the holder to free instruction
in vocal music, and book-keeipng.
"YAU HOK KITUK CHING TO UI."
One of the important events of the past
month was the dedication of the new
building erected by the Chinese Y. M. C
A., which took place on Thursday evening, December 3d.
The beading of this article Indicates as
nearly ss it can he expressed in English,
tins name of the Association.
Religious work among this important
class in our city was first undertaken by
our local Y. M. ('. A. about sixteen years
ago. Since then the work has grown until
now a large Church has been organized,
who own the commodious edifice in which
they worship. Schools have been established, and a Young Men's Christian
Association has been formed, who now
have a line home of their own, admirably
atlapted to their work among their own
peculiar race.
The audience of aliout three hundred
that crowded the Ball to its utmost capacity represented at least seven nationalities. Addresses were made in three
languages, and all joined heartily in the
singing, each in the tongue in which he
could best praise the Lamb," who came

refreshments were served, und tne remainder of the evening was spent in social converse.
In turning homeward from the unique

one felt to exclaim with wonder and
praise, "What hath (Jod wrought!"
ADVICE
TO YOUNG MEN.
GOD
PORTER, of Vale, recently
gave this sound and wholesome ndvice
Young men, you are
to the students:
the architects of your own fortunes ; rely
on your own strength of body and soul.
Take for your star self-reliance ; inscribe
on your banner < Luck is a fool, Pluck is
a hero.' Don't take too much advice ;
keep at the helm and steer your own
ship, and remember that the art of commanding is to take a fair share of the
work. Think well of yourself; strike
out ; assume your own position ; rise
above the envious and the jealous. Eire
above the mark you intend to hit. Don't
swear; don't deceive ; don't marry until
you can support a wife ; advertise your
business ; love your God and tellownien ;
love truth and virtue ; love your country
and obey its laws." And we might add :
Don't use tobacco in any form. It is
doubtful if there is a more common or
filthier habit than tobacco chewing.
How ladies can allow their male associates to use it in their presence is more
than we can account for. When "Will

IMPORTANCE OF BIBLE STUDY.
Would you make the testimony meeting more edifying? Then see that more
of God's word is spoken. This can best
be accomplished by storing the heart
beforehand with the Gospel of Christ.
Meditate upon the portion of Scripture
selected for the next meeting.
Eeed daily, regularly and systematically upon it previously, until you aro
Oiled with the truth of it.
Then when you go into the meeting,
lei its fragrance till the souls of Others.
Persons who use perfumery carry the
fragrance wherever they go. So will
the Bible-studying young man be known
when he rises to speak, by the blessed
refreshnfenl coining from the name which
is as an ointment poured forth. First
having made bis own heart glad, he
gladdens the hearts of the rest. Let each
one come so prepared, then think what
a blessing would accompany such a meeting. Then you could in reality edify
one another.— Exchange.

MISSION STATISTICS.
Tho total number of llawaiians sent
out from these islands as missionaries up
to the present time, is sixty-eight; of
whom thirty-five were males, and thirtythree females.
Of the total sixty-eight, nine have been
sent bo the Caroline Islands, fifteen to
the Marshall Islands, twenty-six to tho
Gilbert Islands, and eighteen to the Marquesas Islands. Some of them have died
abroad, and others have returned to these
islandson account of ill health, or for other
reasons. There are now in the field,
seventeen Hawaiian Missionaries, six of
whom are at the Marquesas, and eleven
at the Gilbert Islands.
MICRONESIA.
In the article entitled "An Island Republic," published in the .S. P. Bulletin
of November 25th, and also in the editorial columns of the Jlaicuiian (Ittzette
of Dee. 22nd, we notice a few errors of
statement which need correction in the
interest of historical accuracy. The
somewhat extensive Island world comprised under the title of Micronesia has
hitherto been so little known to the civilized world that we are not at all surprised that errors of this kind should
creep into even the best and most reliable
newspapers.
In the Bulletin's article, we notice this
.statement: The Gilbert, Marshall, and
Caroline Islands have been civilized
through the efforts, principally, of missionaries who have been sent out from
the Hawaiian Islands."
This paragraph gives a wrong impression. The truth is as follows: The Gilbert and the Marshall Islands owe what
civilisation and christian light they have
to the combined efforts of Hawaiian and
American Missionaries; the former being
sent out from the Hawaiian islands, under the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions, and
the latter from the United States, under
the American Hoard of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions; both bodies cooperating in the work.
But the Caroline Islands have been occupied almost entirely by American missionaries only. During the first years of
the mission there, from 1852 to 1857,
there were nine Hawaiian missionaries
sent to tho Caroline Islands, five males
and four females. Ono died there, and
the rest all returned to their native land
after ,t trial of als>ut seven years, which
seemed to prove that llawaiians were
better adapted to the work in the Gilbert

Our feelings prompt us to pay him a
tribute of affectionate respect.
"A good man leaveth an inheritance
to his children's children," the inheritance of a good name and a well spent

This priceless legacy Dm Baldwin has

His entire trust for Immortality and
glory in the world to come was in the
mercy of God through the mediation of
Jesus Christ He was a man of prayer
and lull of faith.
As the live is known by its fruit, so

To his faith were added virtue, temperance, godliness and kindness to ail

Blessed are the pure in heart:
" shall see

and gentleness of spirit were blende.i

adherence to the right

fill and his looks and words; ever tendoil
to inspire hopefulness in others.
He delighted in adapting himself to
the feelings of the young and knew how
to lind his way to their hearts. His
grandchildren truly loved him.
His last days and hours were soothed
by the unwearied kindness and tender
assiduities of his children who deemed
it a privilege to minister to his comfort,
to watch over him through the progress
of decay, to hear his hist words, smooth
his pillow and to close his eyes in the
sleep of death.
The places which have known this
honored and beloved man shall know
him no more. He loved 'the habitation of God's house.' Oil the day before
his departure to the
rest that remained! for the people of God he said to us,
" 1 shall not be at church to-morrow,
but all is well." Never, except from
necessity, was be absent from his place
In the house of tire Lord. And now as
each Nabb.iih morning returns we miss
his presence, and his frequent words of
encouragement after the service. Yet
we rejoice to fhlnk that his spirit, sustained here by the hopes and promises of
religion, has g no to he with the Savior
fo unite In noti of worship and praise
Wittl the spirit.-- uf the just made perfect.
May flic contemplation of the character and life of this man of God help us
to a holy emulation, that by imitating
the faith and eon i iteut walk of the
righteous we also, through faith and
patience, may Inherit the promises.
If wo arc correct, which we doubt not,
in our wayof thinking, thepending issues
are three in number, und they Me these:
Ist, To license the sale of opium on
the Mauds.
2nd, The Ten million dollar Loan, and
Brd, The Lottery Bill.
Now we submit that the three (riven
points are each and all of vital importance,
and we reiterate our expression of surprise that the discussion of Ihein should
have been so studiously ■voided.
Had they been brought forward one
.side could, for example, have elucidated
why the Chinaman and the Hawaiian
should have Opium, and the other side
might have portrayed the disastious
effects that must necessarily ensue, especially to the Hawaiian race, from the
Introduction and free use of opium on
the islands.
Then as to the Ten Million Dollar
Loan | it was evidently incumbent on (he
party that favors this plan to explain to
the public why such a loan is desirable,
and it would have been exceedingly
gratifying if the matter could have bean
laid before us in detail In boom such way
as this :
Amounts needed.
$
Obieota.
1, Few
2, Cor
3, Etc., Etc.,
Iiital
$10,000,000
Then the other party might have looked into these successive items and condemned the whole thing on the principle,
lie that goes a borrowing goes a
sorrowing and on the beautiful utterance of the lamented Artemus Ward,
Pay as you go, and if you can't pay
don't go ; —or approved the scheme in
part or in toto.
Then as to the Lottery Bill—one party
might have attempted to unfold why
Hawaii should import gambling from
abroad, and the other party could
have pictured
In vivid colors the
appalling evils that must inevitably result
from the adoption of such ■ measure.
The discussion of these points, we repeat, would have commanded interested
attention. Should it fie said that these
questions will arise later, to-Wit when
the Legislature shall be in session, then
we ask why have they not been brought
forward and discussed and candidates
nominated who shall be known to the
public to be eitheradvocates or opponents
of these measures. To this, it seems to
us, the voters of this Kingdom had a
right, that they might vote on matters
of seme significance and vote intelligently. Why these questions should have
been so carefully hidden from the public
view must to the thoughtful observer be
almost as great a mystery as that on
which we wrote in our September number

fully concede that such matters as tinaforesaid papers bring to the front are
often handled ably and interestingly, but
we regret to say that with the exception
of the currency question they are mutters of no vital importance. Personal

JANUARY—FEBRUARY.
The morning unii.n meetings during
the Week of Prayer were largely attended anil full of interest.
The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper
was celebrated Jan. :trd. Two persons
united on profession of faith.
On that first Lord's day evenlngof the
New Year the pastor introduced the
Praise and Gospel Service. In addition
to the Church choir he was assisted by a
chorus choir of young people. Every
chair on the huge platform was occupied.
The sermon was an earnest presentation
of the Gospel; the object to win souls.
Every Sunday evening since, the service
has been conducted in this way—a success from the beginning, there being at
once a marked increase in the attendance. We noie with pleasure that similar services are held elsewhere, the

SHALL THE OPIUM TRAFFIC BE
LICENSED ?
Bottom or Tke I'i;ikni>:—By your
request i contribute a few thoughts noon
this question, an affirmative answer to
which is already announced authoritatively as the policy of the Government.
If the present administration can prevail
to this end upon the Legislature, a law
will he enacted at the coming .session to
repeal the present prohibitory statute,
and to authorize the unlimited sale of
the drug to all consumers, hy dealers
wlio shall pay high license fees.
Such repeal of prohibition, and licensing of the sale of opium lias been strenuously urged, and still more forcibly opposed in many previous Legislatures. A
pamphlet dated May 7th, 1881, written
by Hon. W. R. Castle, and containing a
forcible array of facts and arguments
against the license, was effective in preventing the repeal of the present law at
the last session. Such a discussion of
the subject should ho studied by every
thinking person who desires the welfare of our population physically and
financially as well as morally.
There are very many such who are
anxious to diminish if possible the evil
of tbe consumption of opium by the people of this country, but who regard pro-
hibition as Ineffective, and who perhaps
feel as if the working of tht; law against
smuggling and using the drug wis too
severe and unequal in its action while
failing to reach the evil. We think such
persons are mistaken, and t(»ut the consumption is vastly less than if the sale
and Use wero lawful and open.
Under the present law, tbe possession
of opium is unlawful, and any Chinese
peddler or other person having it can lie
promptly punished. Such persons are
compelled to conduct their traffic with
extreme secrecy and caution. They sell
but little to natives, who are liable to
disclose their secrets. Opium joints or
divans are impossible to any great extent. Thus while it is true that those
who have formed the opium habit, mostly Chinese, can procure it if they are set
lo do so, although at some risk to both
seller and consumer, it Is also true that few
new victims to the terrible disease are
made. While thus far it does noi appear
that the malady can be stamped out by a
prohibitory law, it is clear that its ravages are closely circumscribed.
Undoubtedly it Is painful to read the
frequent record of heavy lines and Imprisonment Inflicted especially upon seamen who smuggle the drug often with
small sense of wrong-dobrg. it is even
more painful to think of the torturing
agony ni an opium user committed to
prison and deprived of his Indispensable
relief from utter misery. Probably there
is hardly any form of evil Indulgence
again*t which lovers of mankind arc
called to contend which oilers more
difficulties in the contest. The drug itsell' being a -mall and compact solid, unlike alcohol, oilers peculiar facility for
illicit Introduction and transportation,
i in I bow is open traffic under a license
going to diminish the amount imported
and consumed V It mud necessarily enormously increase the consumption. The

which follow this habit.
There are many claiming to be statesmen and financiers, who regard it as

BY REV. C. M. HYDE, D. D.,
An address delivered at the funeral services in Kawaiahao < 'hurch.
We have but recently watched the old
year out and the new year in; hut the
change from the old to the new was as
voiceless and pauselosa as the revolution
of some mighty machine, around and
around and around. Yesterday, about
the dying bed of this father, were gathered the children and grand-children,
watching till the change should
conic.
The breathing was labored and quick,
then faint and slow. A moment of listening expectation—and then, all was
still. The reverent care and loving
ministrations that .smoothed the pillow
and bathed the brow of the dying one,
could no longer <;i v e ease or Comfort.
The change had come; but so quietly, so
gently, that in the hush of bated breath,
no one could say of flickering pulse-beat
or fluttering breathing, "This Is the last;
this the last." We may speak of the
last of earth; but in eternily, in heaven,
never a last hour, never a last moment
to its life of blessedness. For earth only,
and for earthly affection these last hours,
these last services.

the college course at Vale, graduating
iv the class of 1821. Then he spent several years in teaching at Kingston, Catsi kill and Durham, X. Y. While teaching, he also pur.-ued the study of medicine, Intending to become a physician.
Hut the earnest preaching of Rev. Dr.
BETII WILLIBTON, pastor if the chinch

religious convictions that had been aroused In him during his college course.
Uniting with the church in IS_<>, he was

the medical profession and to enter Auburn Theological Seminary where he
graduated In 1829. During his last year
in the Seminary he offered himself to tbe

was accepted. By direction of the Prudential Committee he attended the course

Dr. Baldwin was physician as well
as preacher, and the only missionary
physician for all the families on Maui
and Molokai, Du. Chaimn having left
Lahalna in 1836 after only three years'
residence. In those days, every missionary was expected to prescribe, as far
as his knowledge and ability would
serve, for the many and varied bodily
ailments of the Hawalians in his district.

BALDWIN had still more of tins work to

Into requisition at all hours of tin: day
and night. When the small-pox ravaged
the islands in 1863, Da. Baldwin was
almost übiquitous in his labors for the
prevention or cureof this terrible malady.
So energetic and successful was he, that
out of the 10,11(10 who died, there were
only about 266 fatal cases on the whole
island of Maui. The spread of leprosy
among the llawaiians awakened his
deepest solicitude as soon as the nature
oi the disease was known.
He eagerly
sought for some treatment that would
alleviate if not eliminate the disease.
The account which he prepared of the
origin, treatment and spread of this
dread disease, has been of f,rreat value
and Interest to other physicians.
Doth from the nature of his professional studies and from his own personal
conviction of duty, lie was strenuously
opposed to the use of stimulants and narcotics. \le made a special study of the
ill effects of tobacco and liquor. An
essay he wrote took the prize offered at

best article on that topic. He was appointed by the Mission to prepare a tract
on intoxicating drinks, which was published in 18:57. Down to the very last

FAITH—CURESREVERSED.
Many good things come from Boston,
but it does not follow that all Huston
methods are good things. That city has
recently become the center of the delation known as "Kiiili-i'u.e." An attempt
has been m.ule lo reduce Hie cure of
disease simply by faith to a system, .and
instruction is now given in Boston in an
"institution" or ••College" Iv this new
art. In calling this modem craze a delusion we would not be understood as
denying that genuine cures of certain
kinds of diseases are wrought by lakh.
Especially isiiiis trueol nervous diseases
which depend almost wholly upon the
will and the imagination. We believe
that genuine cures have been Wrought at

oi this new
sutttuieut lo esby
mediums,and by the disciples
erase. The evidence is
tablish the fact thai diseases of a certain
class have been healed by each oi these
widely different wonder-workers. But
we do Dot believe that there is anything
miraculous, or supernatural, or power
divine in the cures. Il is simply the
action of the imagination aud the arousing of a dormant will, energy aud purpose which overcomes and banishes, at
least for a time, the di-ease.
In all the discussions evoked in our
religious exchanges by this craze of
"Faith-cure" which we have read, no
one has called attention lo the fact that a
belief in the malign influence of prayer
has had equally potent effect among
superstitious pagans. The native 11awaiians are a ease in point. OpeniugOUT

below The
(N. V.) Aution's stiniiiiary and
comments on this decision:
Before ISSU the hiewuiool beer was n» free from
reatrietiou in Khiuui* as the ruilliiui uf flour, and
when the Legislature enacted h statute li i bidding
tie further Drawing of laser, it made every brewery
wortbleaje. To pass, audi law uithoiit ooiiiptnsaiuin, the owners of breweries for Hie InssislliUß
imposed upon them i* simply to legalise robbery
by society in Its nrganlimd capacity. The Federal
court* are bound to protect Hie injured oiuzeli in
bis rights if he can secure no redress train iho
fs;ati, and there is no doubt Hint the Supreme
Court will sustiiii Juduo ISrewer if the case is
curried to Wellington. Section 1 of the Fourteento Aiueudiiieiil provides that "No State shall
deprive any person of lite, liberty, or property
without due process of law,'' und the highest tribunal lias alio idy gotw OH record, iv the case uf
liarleiiioyer vs. low*, some years ago, a* holding
that, while n Stale may Kgolata, and even prohibit, til tiafllc in intoxicating liquors, it may not
deprive tua owner of properly iv which he bad invested under a pel missive system, without waking
bun due amends. The deotsi >n is of more practical importance in lowa tuiiii in Kansas. The latter Siate Ins never gone extensively into the mnnulaciuie of liquors of any kind, but tile cousus of
IMb showed lli.it lowa had 114 establishments lor
the production of malt liquors and three distilleries, wluca reported ah aggregate c.pitalo:

$2,100,000. li.it il moat be remembered that this
repreiente paly the v.due returned for purpose* of
.e-sesnn ut and taxation, and that the actual iuveatuuenl was much eruatcr Ih.in this estimate.
The larger share of I his was undoubtedly invested
in building* ami in icliinery, winch prohibition

old superstition still linger*) In the remnant of the native race, and is potent
still for evil. One of the ablest and
brightest of the physicians now in the
employ of the Hawaiian government, in
a conversation with the writer of this
article recently, said that he repeatedly
has to meet this superstition: "What is
the moi lor?" "They are praying me to
death I'' will be the sad hopeless reply.
And it is almost impossible to disabuse
the poor victim of his delusion. Die he
must, and die he Will, and (lie be does

terror, which j lining hands with some
slight functional disorder, or producing
it, causes death.

and many personal friends of Mil. DYER
were pre-ent.
The Moderator requested the.liynin to
be sung: ''Stand up, stand up for Jesus"
and Key. W. ('. Meiuutt led in prayer.
The object of the Council *vas again stated
aud the examination of the candidate
proceeded with. It was conducted by
Rev. Dk. Hyde and other members of
the Council.
The examination was thorough and in
all respects satisfactory and by unanimous vote it was resolved lo ordain Mr.
Dyer to the Gospel ministry.
The
Moderatorannounced the evening services and the meeting dosed by singing
the Doxology.
At 7:30 o'clock the auditorium of Fort
Street Church was tilled in every part.
The pulpit was occupied by Rev. .1. A.
Cnt/.AX, the Pastor, and Be vs. C. M.
II v in;, D.D., 11. S. Jordan, Hiram
Binoham nudß C. Oooee. Dh. Hyde,
the Moderator, announced tint the examination had resulted favorably ami
that Brother Dyer would now be ordained to the sacred office of the Gospel
ministry. The second chapter of the Set
ond Fpistle to Timothy was read by Rev.
K. C. Ouobl. Prayer was offered by Rev.
11. S. Jordan, who also preached the
ordination sermon from 1 Corinthians,
15:25, "For He must reign till He hath
put all His enemies under His feet."
Mb, Johdan said: ••To whom do these
words referV Evidently to Jesus Christ.
He is to be this Supreme Ruler. It is
not Withclash of sabre that lie is to rule,
but by love. He is the friend and
savior, and not the enemy of mankind.
Christ's rule is noi a temporal but a spiritual one. The text plainly indicates that
the end is not yet. The sway of Christ
is not yet unhindered. There are enemies yet unsubdued. These, though
they are legion, may be summarised under three cla.ses: Satan and his kingdom; false ii ligions and false conceptions
of religion; and ilio.se who personally re.
ject Christ." These points wv.e developed in their order and made clear by
farts and illustrations. Mr. Jordan
closed hi- able discourse thus: "The
reigu of Christ will advance unto the
final triumph. Sometimes the way looks
dark, but our great Captain will lead His
Church on to complete victory. The
harbingers of victory are till around us.
Arise, youiifi men, arise, and catch the
inspiration of the limes! Awake, t hri.-t
ian men, awake, and behold the dawnlugs of a new day !''
Mr. Dyer was then set apart to the

THE JAPANESE.
On the

Appealing to be a healthy and Btrong

Mr. K. YV. Irwin, Hawaiian Charge

were present: Mis. K. \Y. Irwin, Consul
at Japan, and sou; Mb. and Mas. Taro

Nacayama, Mb. and Mrs, Fuksiiima,
Mr. and Miss. Kei.iiro NaOaNO, Mr.
Tanaka; Doctors M. Yam ash ita, F.
IWAW'I and others. Some of these are
professing Christians and come from different missions in Japan, To make
their acquaintance there were also present a large number of Invited guests,
whe through this occasion of social enjoyment we're doubtless infused with u
new and stronger interest in the spiritual well-being of those Whom God in His
providence has brought so near to us.
Mb, and Miss. Damon and Mrs. Dr.
Damon made the evening a very pleasant one to all present.
At the Immigration Depot interesting
religious services were held Sunday
afternoon, the 21st. Hundreds of Japanese attended. Aoki, the young theological Student who arived in Honolulu
a year ago, opened the meeting with
ian Worker, acting
as
interpreter.
Brief
addresses were made also by Mil. Ono.mi
and byMit.T.\.\A!CA, who conies from the
Church ol Christ, with a letter from the
Key. Mr. Baixagh.
The services
were closed with prayer by the Rev.
Div Hyde. Tracts and Testaments were
then distributed.
We would ask our fellow christians on
the other Islands to keep in view the
liiglierneed.softhese Japanese, and to
strengthen the hearts anil hands of those
who aim lo lilt them up intellectually
and spiritually. Remember, we have
not crossed the sea to go to them, but
they have come to us and this greatly
increases our Indebtedness to these souls
and our responsibility to Cod.

TEMPERANCE INSTRUCTION IN
OUR SCHOOLS.
Call it new education or what not,
there certainly is a spirit abroad that demands larger views as to elementary education. Not the least significant proof
of this is the intelligent interest, now so
general, in the temperance training of
youth, notably in such leading American
Commonwealths as New York and Massachusetts. The spirit of our age is
keyed to the highest Interest*of the race
in education as in philanthropy. To use
Caklyiye's phrase, education is "foursquare," for it now aims iv its best development to instruct brain, hand, heart and
muscle. Technical schools are rapidly
increasing in number and efficiency.
Drawing, as related to the art of designing, is working its 'way successfully into our elementary courses of
instruction. The simplification of methods and means m the interests of a more
natural mental training mark all present
progress in primary instruction. The
necessity for a thorough grounding in
temperance principles in view of the gigantic evil of our generation is in the
same line.
Were argument necessary, it would be
quite enough to say that if elementary
education calls for better methods, so that
a larger body of real knowledge may be
imparted within a limited period ; oi if
if calls for skilled hands and practical
knowledge of tools in the interests of industry; it certainly calls quite as loudly
for training in practical morals In the interests of civil order and economy.
But there is no call for argument. Individuals may differ as to method but it
cannot be said that they differ materially
as to the necessity of instruction in temperance principles. The stock sentiment,
even among those who cannot be called
temperance men is, that they do not wish
their young friends or their children to
fall into the same pernicious habits.
Could a vote be polled among drinking
men on the question, Shall the children
be taught the evils of intemperance ?" it
is more than likely that the 'ayes' would
be in large majority.
Public sentiment calls for tidiness and
good order as to school grounds and
buildings, and none the less us to character and conduct. So far as public sentiment is concerned,the public school teacher is amenable for every departure from
good morals and manners. His true
gauge is always correctly fixed when his
conduct and character do not harmonize
with what public sentiment recognizes as
essential in one who stands before the
young as an instructor. The school is
the natural home of all best purposes and
practices, and is a failure when it does
not come up to this high standard.
"
To teach the children the physical injury of indulgence in drink and to avoid
the first step that leads to drinking
habits, is in fullest accord with the sentiment which even among the unthinking
and immoral thus voices itself : "Here's
Tom. Teach him how lo use his hands,
and eyes, and brain; how to behave as
lie ought; and how to keep his body and
his heart clean."
Public necessity calls for temperance Instruction. Never has the emergency
seemed greater than now. We are sowing the wind here in Hawaii. Drunkenness is so common that our sensibilities
an- dulled, and we do not hear the roaring of the whirlwind that we are sure to
reap by-and-by. Systematic temperance
instruction In our schools can avail much.
Let every conscientious teacher do his
utmost to combat the sad influences that
surround our youth as they go out from
the school-room daily.
ENGLISH LANGUAGE METHODS.
I.
11l reply to a letter of inquiry, Mil. 11.
S. TtiwxsKND of Lihuc, Kauai, lias
kindly offered the following suggestions
a- tn bis methods of language Instruction.
"The teacher, meeting the pupils very
much as the mother meets the child,
takes the mother's method of teaching
First conies the object, then
the idea, and afterwards the word. This
is the natural order. The object excites
the ideas, and the idea is embalmed in
the word. The lirsl and most prominent
ideas in a child's mind on giving attention to any objects are its individuality
ami identity; anil these are expressed
by the name. To express the idea uppermost in the child's mind at all times,
is one of the highest polntu of excellence
to be reached in teaching language.
Names are best taught first, and quite
a number of objects may well be named
before other words are taught. But
while the most prominent ideas are expressed by names, othersare taking more
and more definite form. Then some
verbs follow. They are taught much
after the manner of nouns. The manner
of teaching adjectives is somewhat different. Here the idea of correlation becomes more prominent. Prepositions are
taught by developing their ideas first and
afterwards by expressing them in words.
And in this the idea of correlation la especially useful. Suppose ti child Is ready
for learning the preposition on. How is
the teacher to know whether the child's
thought is, The book is on the table; or,
The book and the table. Rut let him
put the hook on the table and then under
the table; on a chair and then under a
chair, and then returning it impressively
to its first position, say: The book is on
the tattle, and he knows that he is giving
expression to the child's thought. Other
words and sentences are taught in similar ways.
Let no ohe think that language teaching after the Pestulozzinn method can be
other than hard Work, requiring great
care and calling into use all of the teachlanguage.

Swioton'.s Reader Is followed, but it is
considerably modified. Questions and
answers are greatly multiplied. The
exercises In paraphrasing are very much
increased. The language of common
things is taught by means of frequent
talks with tongue and pencil about the
things seen and heard at school and out
of school, the news of the day, the
stories read and heard, the other lessons
in school, etc. Some little work approaching technical grammar is done at
this point.
Occasionally a word is translated into
the language of the pupil. Sometimes
when one of the more advanced classes
Is composed wholly of Hawaiian*, a whole
lesson is translated into Hawaiian."
We also make quotations from a reply
to our inquiry received from Miss N. J.
M.\ i,(im; of Kawaiahao Seminary. "We
do not teach technical grammar, our
work is entirely language work. We
begin by having answers made in complete sentences. .Sentence in iking, dictation exercises, reproductions of stories
read, iilling in blanks, letter-Witting,
etc., are the means we use to make our
pupil.; familiar with good English."
Prom a reply sent by Miss M. sheei.ey of Makawao Seminary we quote: "I
always combine the phonic and word
methods in the beginning, using objects
wiienever 1 can, and paying particular
attention to the articulation. Later, we
take words and from these form sentences, or 'tell stories' both oral and
written. When the meaning and pronunciation ol the words in a sentence are
known at sight, then the sentence is road
with proper Inflection and emphasis.
After this the pupils are required to get
the thought expressed in their lessons,
and encouraged to use the dictionary
and other helps in mastering the thought.
In Hie advanced classes 1 use Swinton's
Language Lessons."
—Whata ridiculous contrast there is
between the railroad train that moves
-lowly bat steadily up-grade, and the
train that goes bumping along,jerked by
an inconstant locomotive that either has
not sufficient steam for its work or has
failed to gather momentum for the upgrade tug! The temptations are great
for teachers equally with oilier professional workers to lapse into a routine spirit
that sees only the same work to be done
day after day, and undertakes the work
of each day after the same style. Rut
(his is far healthier for the atmosphere
of school-lift! than the spasmodic, efforts

THE LONDON LECTURER.
We are looking forward with great
Interest to the coining of Ma. W.m.
NoBLB, the famous Gospel Temperance
Lecturer ot London, lie is expected to
arrive here the first or second week in
March and to remain two weeks for solid
work in the Interestof God and humanity
and against t ha drink curse in our midst.
Mk. NoaiJC comes, rich In the blessed
experience of personal salvation from the
power of drink through faith in Christ.
11 is forty-four years of age, and has
had a wonderful range of experience between height and depth, wealth and
poverty in his checkered life.
He was born In London in 1812, and
when but a mere lad he ran away from
schooUmd went to sea. Later he entered
the Royal Navy, from which his father
purchased his discharge in 1860. At
this point in his life he reformed, was
successful in business and soon aecuniulaied considerable wealth. But during
his business prosperity the habit of drink
into which he had again fallen rapidly
developed strength, until in 18,7.1he stood
stripped of business, fortune and position; bankrupt on life's great highway
by the demon drink.
Soon after this through the help of kind
friends, the solid foundation of permanent reformation was begun, upon which
he wrouglit a noble temperance work for
himself and the cause to which he then
gave all his time and energy.
In 1577 Mil. NOBLE came to America
and in company with John 15. Gough

On the 13th the Association was honored by a call froin Sim Alexander
and Lady Stkwaht of New South
Wales, en route to London by the
Mariposa. They expressed surprise and
pleasure at the apparent prosperity of the
Y. M. ('. A. work in our Island city.
On Sunday, Feb. 21, we were happily
surprised to find at the building our old
California friend, Rev. W. Scott
Whittieb of Oakland, he having just
arrived on the Alumeda. We spent a
most enjoyable day together in attendance upon the different services in the
churches and Association. He sailed for
Sydney at midnight where he will rein, tin a few months and then continue
his journey homeward by the way of
India, Kgypt and Palestine.
We have received several pleasant
calls from RBV. 11. S. Jokiian, who was

Y. M. C. A. HISTORY.
The Young Men's Christian Association In London, generally known as "the
parent Association," was organized June
(i, 1814.
To-day there are 2,901) Associations distributed throughout the world—in North
America and Europe, in India, Syria,
Japan, Turkey,
Madagascar, South
Africa, New Zealand, South America,
Australia, China, West Indies, Hawaii,
etc. There have been held iv the capitals of Europe ten World's Conferences,
the first tit Paris in 1855, and the last in
Berlin, in 1881.
The first Association iv America was
organised at Montreal In 1861; the first
in the United States at Boston, a few
months later. The year following, Associations were formed at New York,
Washington, Iluffalo and Baltimore. In
1864, the first Convention of American
Associations was held at Buffalo. Tlie
twenty-sixth of these International meetings was held last May, in Atlanta, Oa.
The work in America has grown in the
[last ten years as follows: Associations
reporting, from 664 to 1)05; net value of
Association property, from $2,483,804 to
$4,863,490, libraries, from 11)8 to 325;
reading rooms, from 201 to 408; secretaries and other paid agents, from 90 to
416; Bible-classes, from 128 to 583; regular prayer and Oospel meetings, from
740 to 1,173.
During the lime sixly-one new buildIngs, valued at $2,007,055, have come
into the possession of the American
A-sociations, and fourteen more are now
in the course of erection.

Prayer is a creature's Strength,
of it :
his very breath and being it is the golden key that can open the wicket of mercy ; it is the magic sound that says to
faith, 'so be it'; it is the slender nerve
that moves the muscles of omnipotence."
It has been said th it if there be a 'God,
He is dependent on the fixed Immutable
laws of nature ; and by others, that He
is enthroned bo high that He takes no
notice of poor mortals. Bui to every one
-who from a personal experience knows
the efficacy of prayer, there Is a Qod aad

and heaven; (or the worshiper has seen
ma spiritual vision the glory of Bethel—
«a ladder set up on the earth, and the
top of il reaching to heaven, with tbe
angels ascending and descending on It,
and the Lord < Jod standing above it."
And therefore, if we are approached with
the theory of the eternity of matter, that
has within itself the cause of its existence
and of its multitudinous forms and
changes ; or that (Jod is a despot whoso
flat is rigid and unalterable, and that human events are governed by a stern, imperious destiny, we know by a conscious
experience of moving in the presence of
God, that He is ; and that iv prayer

Thomas Laueie, himself a former
missionary of the American Board, is its

order in which he has treated his subject.
Missionaries have contributed to geography and philology to such an extent
that these have been called ''missionary
sciences." As early as the 18th and 14th
centuries the Jesuits traveled widely,
and from the tirst their missionaries contributed to these branches. As the signal service stations of the United States
flash their daily observations to the
central office tit Washington, so 4,000
missionary stations, in every /one, and
from almost every land and island of the
world, have been supplying their Intelligent observation- to the scholars at home.
So great has been this supply that Rev.
Dr. w.m. Adams, of New York city,
I believe thai more has been
said :

i'kksidknt's
hi: pout.
My subject to-night is: "The Sabbath
or Lord's Pay." Why should il he observed as a day for religious worship,
and rest from secular toil?
Tbe strongest ground upon which any
friend of the Sabbath or Best Day can
standi is the llirine eointnund.
We would give no other reason, hut
maintain constantly, la all men's hearing, Thus xttith tht Lord.
The Fourth Commandment summons us
lo worship, t<» keep the day holy, and to
rest from unnecessary work.
As long as we stand firm on the word
of God, we have Impregnable ground for
hallowing the Sabbath day.
The Sabbath is an ordinance of Creation. The first intimation that we have
of a rest-day is that spoken of at the
finishing of the work of creation by the
great Creator of all things.
We read In Genesis 2d: That the Heavens and the earth were tinished, and all
the hosts of them, and on the Seventh
day (hid tinished bis work which he had
made and be rested on the Seventh day
from all the works that he had made,
and (Jod blessed the Seventh day and
hallowed it.
The sunctitieation of the Sabbath, as a
day of rest, thus took place at the very
close of the cieative week. And when
we see how necessary the Sabbath is to
the whole nature of man, how indispensable to his highest well being, we are
compelled to lieliove that it must have
been given to man at the beginning, if
he was to be fully equipped for Ml mission
in the world.
Till! view expressed above, of tbe
passage (piloted from (Jenesis, is confirmed by the word remember," iv the
Fourth Commandment, coupled with the
reason given at the end of the ComFor in six days the Lord
mandment:
"
"
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all
that In them is and rested the Seventh
day. Wherefore the Lord blessed the
Sabbath day and hallowed It."
We do not discuss here, the question
which may arise as to the length of these
days of creation; but, any doubt as to
the observance of a Sabbath or rest day
before the time of the Jews, is set at rest
by the recent discovery of the meation
of a day of rest in the Assyrian account
of the creation, which is believed to antedate Moses by nearly (100 years, and
the further discovery of the actual observance of a Sabbath in Babylonia, long
before the time of the Mosaic Institution.
(See chapter (itb, Primitive Sabbath).
We need the Sabbath day for worship.
We have religious natures, and must
provide for them, and in no other way
can we so surely cultivate and .strengthen
them, at by making the Sabbath a day
for worship.
During the six work days man's
thoughts are mainly centered as they
should be, upon the worldly business
by which ho secures for himself and
those dependent upon him the necessaries of life, and he has little time for
aught else. The Sabbath day conies to
still with its touch the din of secular
life. It lifts the yoke of toil from weary
shoulders,and enables the spiritual senses
to unfold so that they can behold the
larger life. It may be .said that every
day should be a Sabbath to the Christian,
and that, therefore, no particular day is
required for special worship. Man is
a creature of habit.
if we give
to the regular duties of life their appointed times and seasons, bow much
more should those duties which underlie
and inspire all others demand of him a
specific and regular season for their perfiirintince.
We believe that the religious life of
the Sabbath should permeate the entire
week, hut it is only by hallowing the
Sabbath itself that a Sabbath blessing
can come to the entire week.
We need the Sabbath for rest, or relaxation from daily toil. Upon this
point there seems to he little or no difference of opinion.
Even those who deny the moral obligation of the Sabbath, do not hesitate lo
admit that it is a necessity of the xrcu/tir
life.
11
To the working man, therefore, the
Sabbath comes as a rest day and freighted
with blessing, it has also been abundantly proved that man can and will do
more work in six days than in seven,
taking the year through, and this is not
only true of men but of animals.
The Sabbat li is needed for society.
The drift is toward the (slavery of ceaseless toil. If our laboring men do not
have a rest day divinely assured to them,
they will more and more become the
bond servants of their employees.
Blackstone says:"The keeping of
one day in seven wholly us a. time of relaxation and refreshment as well as public worship is of inestimable value to the
state, considered merely as a civil institution. It harmonizes by the help of
conversation and society the manners of
the laboring classes, which would otherwise degenerate into a sordid poverty
and selfishness of spirit."
It enables the industrious workman to
resume his occupation in the coming week with health and cheerfulness; it impresses on the mind of
the people that sense of duty to
Qod so necessary to make them good
citizens, but which would yet lie worn
out and effaced by an unremitting continuance of labor without any stated
time of recalling them to the worship of
their Maker.
Lord Macauley says: << We are not
poorer but richer because we have
through many ages, rested trom our
labor one day in seven. That day is not
lost while industry is suspended, while
the plow lies in the furrow, while the
exchange is silent, while no smoke ascends from the factory.
A process is going on quite as important to the wealth of tbe nation as any
process which is performed on busy days.
Man, the mac bine of machines, a
machine compared with which the
contrivances of WATT» and Ahkwrioht,
are worthless, is repairing and winding
up, so that he returns to his labors on
the Monday with clearer intellect, with
livelier spirits, and with renewed corporeal vigor.
If the Sunday had not been observed
as a day of rest, but the axe, the spade,
the anvil and the loom bad been at work
all the days during these centuries, no
doubt we should have been at this moment a poorer people and a loss civilized
people than we are.
Those countries that have made the
most rapid increase in material prosperity have been those that have the most
strictly observed the Sabbath as a day of
rest and worship.
An American orator says : I am no
fanatic I hope as to Sunday, but I look
abroad over tbe map of popular freedom
in the world and it does not seem
accidental that Scotland, England and
ihe United States, the countries which
best observe tbe Sabbath, constitute almost the entire map of safe popular
Such men as John Stuart Mill and
Professor Tyndtile, while denying the
Divine authority of the Sabbath, recognize the benefit to man of the rest day,
and believe iv the maintenance of Sunday laws within certain limits.
They would maintain Sunday laws to
give to the laboring man a relief for one
day iv seven from the grinding toil of
the other six.
Tbe law of rest is quite as imperative as tbe law of exercise. Night and
day teach us the necessity of alternate
lalsir and repose, but experience shows
that sleep does not fully restore the physical balance, and this can only be accom- government.
Where we find the Sabbath neglected,
plished by frequent and regular times of
we surely find social insanity manifestrest.

In constant revolution, outbreaks and restlessness.
Ordered liberty needs the Sabbath
without It the state becomes the combined prey of either the tyrant or demagogue, is forever falling into one of the
extremes of despotism or anarchy.
We need the Sabbath as a rest day for
the home. Unless the laboring classes
are granted one (lay la seven to be with
their wives and children, it will soon
come to pass that the home of such
will be to the father but little more
than a restaurant and lodging-house.
The family is the first form of government, and without the family and home
we can have no wellordered government.
Without the Sabbath the home in its
highest and best form can be said not to
exist.
Religion Is the guardian of the family
relation, and without the Sabbath or
hallowed day that relation would
gradually be destroyed. The Sabbath
and the family go up and down tigether,
and those countries having the best
homes and the family relation the
strongest are those where the Sabbath is
best observed.
It is well to note that as the Sabbath
observance declines, so the family bond
becomes weakened. This was true In
France during the Revolution where one
day in ten was set apart as a rest but not
a hallowed day, and it is certainly
observable in the large cities of the
United States and Great Britian with the
growing disposition to destroy the
sanctity of the Sabbath and making it
for many simply a day of pleasure and
selfish gratification, without a thought
given to Him who made the Sabbath
for man" and not •< man for the Sabbath."
Not made for his gratification, for his
selfishness, to use as he pleases; hut
made for his benefit, his improvement, to
meet the high wants of his nature.
Strangers coming to Honolulu have
remarked upon the general observance
of the Sabbath, the quietness of the day,
and the rest from toil and business. To
those long resident here, the contrast
between now and a quarter of a century

If persisted in will most certainly result
in the entire destruction of the Sabbath
even as a rest day : for just as soon as
the employers of labor, who care nothing
for the divine command, find that the
public sentiment on the maintenance of
the Sabbath Is lowered they will find
work for their employees for the seven
days, and as remarked before, the laboring man will become more and more the
bond-servant of the employer.
Honolulu has a Sunday law, and although as stated by one of thedaily papers
•'its violation is tacitly winked at on
steamer days," yet it Is to be hoped that
the suggestions of said paper will not be

Honolulu, but instead the Christian

be so clearly and strongly expressed
against the disposition on tbe part of
any in the community to lower the tone
of, or destroy the sanctity of tbe Sabbath
that no material change will be made in
the present law.
This day must be general, the same to
all, arresting business and worldly cares
throughout the community and giving to
all an opportunity at the same time to
address themselves to the service of
Ood. If wo maintain such a day here
God's blessing will rest upon us, but so
surely as we begin to desecrate and

Islands of the sea.
ADDUKSS OK THK PRESIDENT ELECT
After singing No. 72, Mr. Atherton
introduced Mr. W. A. Bowen, the President elect, who took tbe chair and
spoke briefly as follows :
It is probably very greatly a matter of
satisfaction to all concerned, not only to
the members of the Association, but to
their friends as well, who have gathered
here this evening, as indeed it is a great
satistaction to myself, to know that it
has never been the custom of this
Association to expect anything like a
formal address on the part of the incoming President.
But even if such were the case, it is
to-night our especial relief, that, after
listening to the most excellent address
which we have bad from tbe retiring
President, and to the very comprehensive report of our General Secretary,
and to the full report of the Treasurer,
as well as to the ample reports of the
chairmen of the various standing committees, we all so unanimously feel, as
we do, that anything further in the line
of speech-making is quite unnecessary.
But rather if we have anything to say,
the more quickly it is said, the better.
As the object perhaps of all inaugural
addresses Is to express to the public the
aim, or plan of operations, or policy, if
you please, of the new administration, it
may be well to remind tiie Association,
right here, that there is no new administration, nor any new policy. For five
members of the Board of Directors this
year were upon the Board last year, and
it is undoubtedly their purpose to continue to transact the business of the
Association in the same general way as
in the past.
As to the new policy, we have none.
We have only to point to the aim of
our organization, that of helping young
men, and urge that so long as our aim
remains as it is, our policy must ever be
the same. Yes, lam especially glad
that with the change of Presidents,
there is and can be no change In policy.
And now I will read the list of committees, as your new Board of Directors
has chosen to appoint them.
But before reading them let me say
that it is not the intention to limit the
privilege of work to these committees.
Why, we should all take a lesson, each
individual member of the Association to
himself, from the case cited in the report of the Temperance Committee this
evening, of a man, who though not on
any committee last year, still felt it his
privilege and duty to do his best, and as
a result personally secured so many
signers to the pledge. Yes, this one man
ought to lie an example and an encouragement to every Individual member of the
Association. By no means do we purpose
to limit any mail. Bather do we urge
upon each and every one to hold the
banner of Christ just as high as lie can
carry it. The object of these committees
is simply to organize effort. The committees are as follows:

was greatly enlivened by an abundance
of delicious ice cream and cake.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.
The bitter conflict between the workingman and bis employer, which has
been detrimental to the interests of trade
and productive in many instances of
deeds of violence and cruelly, is still in
progress with no prospect of decline.
This strife of class against class and interest against Interest is to be deplored,
and the outlook is certainly gloomy.
From Belgium extensive strikes are reported, Which have resulted in riots,
bloody conflicts, destruction of property
valued at millions of dollars, and, what
is far worse, in the sacrifice of hundreds
of lives. The cause of the terrible outbreaks mid bloody scenes through which
that land has just passed Is doubtless attributable to the Influence Of anarchist-,
aided by habitual criminals, and similar
results may be looked for wherever anarchy is allowed to carry its red Hag.

Lave been avoided the business of the
United States under the sway of industrial peace would have been in excellent
condition. Even now the Internal Revenue receipts for tiie year show an increase of more than three million dollars,
which, had this labor agitation not occurred, would have been twice that
amount. Though the results of this uprising, thus far, are not as disastrous, especially in tiie loss of human lives, as in
Belgium, yet the record'"of events is sad
enough. In Brooklyn, N. V., ihere have
been tights between policemen and worktngmen, In which tne former were injured and the latter clubbed. In the

MODERATION.
Those who oppose total abstinence from
intoxicating liquors are always warm advocates of "moderation." One of the
vexed questions has long been, What is
moderation ? At last we have a definition. The London Lancet has given one
which we wish every drinking-maii in
Honolulu might read ; though we fear
that few of them would accept tljis definition of "moderation" as given by this
foremost medical journal of the world.
According to The Ltaxeet this is moderation :

SOME DESIRABLE STATISTICS.
The schools feel most keenly the pressure of oui peculiar social conditions.
There is a growing impression among
well qualified observers that not only i-. illiteracy gaining ground as a result largely
of Portuguese Immigration, but that the
percent igeof Illiteracy among Hawaiian*
is steadily Increasing. There anthat Hawaiian children are being neglected in the effort to provide school accommodations for tin- children of other
nationalities. It is desirable that the
public should know just what the real
facts are.
If there are sections that are
specially illiterate, it should lie known,
sought
tin I the causes should be carefully
out and the remedy applied. The needy
sections mast not be neglected. It does
not follow that because l here are successful schools here aud there, therefore the
school system I* being administered lo
the greatest advantage. Neither does it
follow that because 175,000 is expended
for the schools, therefore the money has
been wisely apportioned to tin- needs of
various sections. Prom any published statistics it is Impossible to learn how many
children of school age are in n given district, what the average attendance Is,
What the total expenditure is in said district, what the cod of common-school
education is per capita in such district,
how many teachers are employed, bow
many school buildings there are in the
district, wiial tin- value of school property is in the district, etc.
Without some such statistics u these
how can a body of men apportion the
public money so as to accrue to the public
advantage? Who knows where the needy
districts are? What Inquiry is being
made lo ascertain the causes of the increasing illiteracy, if it be increasing-.'
And what remedies are being devised to
meet the necessities of the base '.'
It is a bit of political satire that some
Democrats in the States are said to vole
for (Jen. Jackson at every presidential
election. It is to be hoped that a similar
spirit of conservatism may not characterize the administration of school affairs in
this Kingdom. It will not do for us to
pat ourselves on the back and congratulate ourselves on our simple and cheap
system ot" administering school matters.
It would be Wise to collect and tabulate
for public inspection the real facts as indicated above. From statistics now furnished we do not know whither we are
tending.
If certain localities are being neglected
it is not definitely known through any
statistics made public. If certain teachers in remote localities are teaching over

another illustration of those son- of Scotland who have crossed the Boiler and
built up great commercial undertakings
by the exercise of the old homely virtues ot sagacity and perseverance.
Born in I,even, in Flfoshlre, he entered a mercantile house in this city
about 1810, and eventually joining
Mr. Stephen Williamson, •another native of the same "kingdoil of Fife,"
became one of the pioneers of the
Valparaiso and latterly theSan Francisco
trade with this port. As a shipowner he
stood in the front rank, recognizing in a
pre-eminent degree his duties to the men
before tin.- mast, and doing everything in
his power 10 ameliorate their condition.
In his own walk of philanthropy he
stood unrivalled, lie was the father and
princely benefactor of the Young Men's
Christian Association. He founded tin;
Institution in Duke St. for the lodging of
seamen and apprentices. Along with the
late .Mr. Charles M'lver he was one of
the chief promoters of the Seamen's OrFor a longphanage in Newshain Park.
series of years his contributions lo the
Liverpool Town Mission enabled the
committee to pay the salaries of several
missionaries, while he had a cottage at
Rossett, close to his own residence at
Mount Alyn, near Wrexham, entirely
for the benefit of ihe agents of the invasion when invalided or in their holiday
time. He was one of the warmest supporters of University College, generous
at its institution, especially in helping to
endow the chairs; as in the kindred
Council of Education, Which has taken
the elementary school* of the city under
its fostering care, he was ever ready with
his purse to provide scholarships and
prise funds for the stimulus of the boys
and girls. To the Liverpool EvaugeUxa*
tion Society, the Medical Mission, Temperance Societies, and Bands of Hope,
especially the great Temperance Society
on the tlual basis connected with the
Church of England, he proved himself a
never-failing friend. In fact, we might
go down the list of almost every philanthropic and charitable Institution in this
city, antl see tiie name of Mr. Alt \ander
Balfour, for he had a substantial sympathy with them ail. Much also of the
good he did in this way never came to
the surface, but lay buried in the secret
recesses of many a grateful heart. In
Church connection he was a Presbyterian,
and yet by his charity and catholicity lie
may be said to have made himself an
honorary member of all denominations,
for all bad experienced his generosity.
Few men ever understood better than
Mr. Balfour the duly antl privilege of
Christian giving, lit- hail found wealth
in this city, and he realised in turn the
weight of the moral obligation to make
ot iters sharers in it. He will long in- remembered, as he will certainly be missed,
When works of charity and benevolence
call for the exercise of the liberal hand.
The lesson of his life is high, and he has
left a memorable example of a man who
laid himself out for the good of others."
To this record we may add, that .Mr.
Balfour was an Intimate friend of tho
late Dr. Damon and of the work among
seamen at this port. His heart was also
in the efforts here among the Chinese,
and the same mail which brought the
sad news of his death also brought a
gei eriitts
donation from him for the
Chinese Y. If. C. A. in tiiis city. May
(lie record of hi- life inspire others to do
as he did in lending a helping hand toward every inovemeni that contemplates
the reign of-Christ in all hearts.
Creed! What is a creed? It is the
-kin of the truth dried and stuffed with
sand and sawdust. If 1 had a creed I
WOUld -ell it to a museum. Orthodoxies
have ruined the World. My !my I how
a man will light for his doxle, and then
see his Savior insulted and never resent
it ! You must not step on my creed; if
you tin you are a goner ! -Sam. Jones.
I tell you what tickles me; to see an
oltl sinner come in and pull out an old,
lame, dwarf member Oi the church, antl
lay him down ami measure by him.
Look here, boys; 1 am as long and

man, to lay myself d iwn by the side of

You would look like a rat-terrier lying

INFIDELITY.
The New York O/tserccr has done the
reading public a valuable service by
reproducing from its September and
November editions of 1877, in a form
convenient for reading, preservation and
circulation, the testimony bearing on the
life, habits and death of the noted Infidel Tom Faille. If the maxim "By
their fruits ye shall know them" shall be
applied in this case then certainly the
ruined character and miserable end of
this man are a sad commentary on the
creed with which his name is identified.
Though Zin/.endorf has said that "the
smallest truth is of more value than the
reputation of him who propounds it,"
men will always estimate the value of a
system by the character and lives of
those who advocate it an well as by what
it confers for good or evil on society and
the world. We are not surprised that
Paine's creed should have led him on to
a dissolute career and an ignominious
close. We call Infidelity a creed purposely, for every man ban his creed, and
It is W impossible for the human mind
to be devoid of a creed as of thought.
Now, if the creed be that there is no
God, no hereafter, no human accountability, there is nothing high or noble
for which to live and aim, and what is
more natural than that it should become
life's motto : Let us eat and drink and
be merry, fur to-morrow we die and anno more. Infidelity's creed is dangerous to the individual, the marriage relation, the home, and to society. When
Thomas Paine wrote his "Age of Reason" he sent a copy of it to Benjamin
Franklin ; but the philosopher wrole
back telling him to commit the manuscript to the Haines. The great and
the good of the past have not been on
the side of Infidelity. We do not speak
of the exceptions—respectable persons
who forgetful of their Hible and prayer
have become entangled in philosophical
doubt—but as a rule the ranks of Infidelity are made up of free lovers,
communists, the incendiaries that infest
all largo cities, and the class generally
that is considered dangerous and detrimental to the social order and well-be-
ing. The whole Universe invites man
ascend the height of spiritual endeavor and "the diviner the mountain"
I lie more resolved let man be to climb to
its .summit. Only the erring voice of
Infidelity urge* him "to die in the
valley, the gods being dead." Infidelity
is a false light. It does not instruct man
how to be of value in sending the forces
of his life through all time. It forsakes
him in the hour of sorest need, leaving
him wrestling with the billows and trying to hold to his anchorage liy u rope of
sand.
THE SEVENTH PETITION.
Mr. (Jkoiuik Bancroft, the historian,
in an article in the Neu Princeton Review
on"The Seventh Petition," writes in
favor of the old rendering, deliver us
"from evil
instead of "the evil one."
Let us say, tirst of all, that it is gratifying to'know that Mr. Bancroft takes so
great an interest in searching the Scriptures. We dn not agree with him, however, in his views. As to correctness of
translation,
evil may be as good as
« the evil one," but the word temptation" in the preceding clause naturally
leads to the res:-ed and better rendering:
to
"
"
"
"
>< the evil one." The two, as L.vNOKsays,
agree in this, thai ('hrist uniformly traces
all evil in the world to the evil one.
Yet here, as also in Matt, v: ;17, we prefer the revised reading. Mr. Bancroft
says, The supplicant must search the
recesses of his own soul and seek there
for the mot of evil. But, through our
revisers, if their innovation is to be accepted, the prayer becomes the prayer of
pride, of a man who attributes no weakness to himself ; and instead of looking
into himself for the seed of the evil
which he may commit, presents his own
inward nature as in itself perfect, and
needing no protection but from an outside evil one. In this way the prayer of
humility bocomes the voice of self-deception and pride." This we fail to see,
and we fear that there may be greater
danger of pride and self-deeeptio.i " in
"
ignoring the author of evil, against whom,
as a most energetic, skillful an 1 in ilignant fiend, the sacred page frequently
and faithfully tells the Christian to be on
his guard. In this connection we quote
from the Country Parson's words on the
personality and agency of evil spirits;
"How solemn a meaning does all this
cast Upon that petition in our Lord's
Prayer, in which He bids us say, i Lead
us not into temptation, hut deliver us
Many of you know that the
from evil !
word translated evil there, means t/te evil
one ; so that Christ speaks of the teinpta
tion and the tempter as meaning the
same thing : Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the tempter;'
that is the meaning of tie petition:
"
'
—
'
the prayer for deliverance friini temptation is a prayer for deliverance from
Satan and his dark array. All temptation, everything, every influence that
can ever lead to sin or suffering, is of
him, or through him, or seconded afld
aided by him." Surely the cry to God
for help against and deliverance trom
such an antagonist can never be "the
prayer of pride, of a man who attributes
DO weakness to himself.'' We believe
that the rendering the evil one" in the
Revised version is correct, and that
Ralimi BBU ink wits right when he said,
There is no devil so bad M no devil."

As the prayer meeting on the 28th
would come in the midst of Dr. MunHALL'S work and will probably be omitted no topic is annoiinced.
The pastor requests all members of the
Church who can do so to so arrange their
vacations as to be present for work during
the two weeks of Dr. Muniiall's stay
in Honolulu. He will arrive, on the 22d
of July and go on to the Colonies by the
steamer due August 7th. Can you not
arrange to have your annual "outing"
either before or after these dates?
The death of J. I'oktek Green on
Sunday, June 25th, was not unexpected,
and was the peaceful close of years of patient suffering;. The sympathy of all our
people are with the relatives of the deceased.
It is a cause of great regret that Rev.
Walteii Fiieau feels compelled to decline the invitation to supply the pulpit
during the Pastor's vacation. It is now
hoped that Rev. Thomas Gi'licic may
be secured as supply.
As next Sunday is the Fourth of July,
in the evening the Castor will preach
a sermon appropriate to the day.

The new recreation ground, now provided in the rear of the Recitation Hall,
will be in readiness for use next season.
The grading that has been done is only
preparatory to such a comprehensive
scheme of landscape gardening as will
make the college grounds a most attractive drive for citizens and strangers
visiting Honolulu.
The whole week from Monday, Juno
21st, to Friday, June 2oth, was given up
to the anniversary exercises. The first
three days were devoted to written
examinations. These gave a very satisfactory exhibit of the scholarship of the
various classes, and the percentage marked was a decided advance on former
years.
Besides this marking for percentage as testing the accuracy of the
knowledge acquired, the Trustees this
year without any notice to the scholars
that such a measure was contemplated,
awarded the income of the Damon I'rize
Fund to the best set of examination papers, both al the college and at the Preparatory School. The Examining Committee scrutinized the penmanship and
orthography as well as the accuracy and
fullness of the several sets of papers presented, and made their awards on that
basis. Thus it happened that while Miss
Bertha Young, of the entering class was
marked 08 percent., the only one reaching
that high average, Tadamichi Takechi,
a young Japanese, received the first
prize and Miss Marion Lyle, the second,
tor the be-t two sets of examination papers though their average was marked
U7 per cent, for correctness in the answers given. Mi-s Carrie P. Green received the first prize, and Miss Hessie
Dickson the second, from the second
and third year college classes, for the
beat two sets of examination papers,
while honorable mention was made of
others, Elb-u H. Bicknell, and Henry J.

The over-crowded rooms of tne Ptiuahou Preparatory School on Friday afternoon showed how deep an interest is
taken In that school, by the parents and
friends of its 100 scholars. The exercises,
recitations and songs were very interesting. It is a pity that the school has mi
large assembly hall, where frequent opportunity might be given for general exercises. The gymnastic drill on the play
ground was well conducted, and the drum
corps of small boys did themselves great
credit by the support they gave to the
proficiency and perfectness of the drill.
The Principal, Miss Hall, bad the general superintendence, and the ease with
which the whole affair was managed was
a new revelation to many of a New England woman's fitness for command, U. 8.
MinisterMeirill playfully suggesting that
in case a Brigadier General was needed,
he was prepared to recommend the Principal of the PunahoU Preparatory.
The interest of the week culminated
in the Presentation Exercises in Fort-Nt.
Church on Friday evening. A special
platform was erected on which sat the
Faculty of the College, the orator of the
evening, and the two young ladies who
were to receive the graduating diplomas
at the close of their college studies. The
audience room was beautifully decorated
with flowers and ferns, and in the audience were many of the leading representatives of all classes in the c< nullity. The young ladies essays were well
written, well rendered, and well received,
each in subject and style fittingly characteristic of the two graduate-, Miss Ainiee

felicitous words of counsel and encouragement, as well as approval, in presenting the diplomas to the young ladles,
whose class motto hung conspicuous
among the decorations: "Building for

his oration an effective plea for a thoroughly religious education for our young
people.
KAWAIAHAO SEMINARY.
An event of peculiar {uteres! was the
annual examination of the pupils of Kawaiahao Seminary, which took place on
the second of June, in Kawaiahao Church.
The number of pupils during the la-t
school-year at this Institution has been
ninety-six, all girls, and with few exceptions, all native llawaiians, ranging between the ages of six and seventeen.
The examination in Hawaiian geography,
music, physiology, and other breaches,
was a very thorough one, and gave
evidence of efficient training on the part
of the teachers, Miss Alexander and Miss
Malone, and their assistants, Miss Brewer
and Miss Annie Needham, and of close
application to their work on the part of
the pupils. An excellent programme
of song and recitation was rendered, the
song parts being assisted by music from
a parlor organ, played by a young Chinese
girl, Mary Ten Sli.ii, who, for six years,
has attended this school. All (he parts,
including also Bible recitations, kindergarten exercises and calisthenics, wore
admirably carried out, reflecting the
highest credit on teachers and pupils
alike.
The Princess lakelike and other members of the royal family were present.
Tlte Hawaiian Parliament had adjourned
in honor of the occasion. The President,
Nobles, Ministers of the Crown, Representatives and large numbers of llawaiians and foreigners filled the spacious
edifice. Brief addresses were made by
Rev. Dr. Hyde, UN Excellency W. M.
Gibson, Noble C. R. Bishop, and lion.
\V. R. Castle. Many persons in that
large audience must have been agreeably
surprised at the excellent work that Is
being done al this school, convincing all
that Kawaiahao Seminary, in the excellent physical, mental and religious training which it Imparts, deserves a place in
the hearts and prayers and benevolences
of all the people on these Islands.

is certain to enlarge the opportunities for

among the skilled artisans of the kingdom.
While we were under the former conditions hardly more could have been expected of the schools than thai the industrial training Imparted should bo

Industrial necessities of the laud demanded nothing higher.
It was sufficient If boys and girls were taught how

some purpose that industrial training in
the schools has taught children Industrious habits. But new conditions are
upon us, and the schools should adapt
themselves to these conditions.
There are industrial schools in Franco
for the Instruction of pupils in sumo single branch of Industry common to the
people of the vicinity. This reinforces
the industry in a most desirable way,
furnishing a constant supply of intelligent and skilled workers, and it gives
point to the Industrial training. The intimacy which should exist between the
industrial training ami the Industrial
necessities is what we wish to emphasize.
In our host schools, familiarity
with machinery must be u prime essential In whatever industrial training is imparled.
Boys, under suitable supervision, will acquire this familiarity as

Others think that nothing else should be
done under tin- nxif tint to bold religious
services. Some think we are a bureau of
information on every subject. One considers that the Association is only a
library, another that it is exclusively a
gymnasium, another calls it an evening
college, a club, or an employment agency.
Others think it a place of social enjoyment and good fellowship. The fact is,
it is a little of nil of these. Even the

EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION.
The aiinutU meeting of this liody was
held during the first week in June.
There were present tit its sessions
eleven ordained ministers, and three lay
delegates from the island of Hawaii ;
eight ordained ministers and two lay
delegates from Maui and Molokai ; sixteen ordained ministers and four lay
delegates nun Oabti : two ordained ministers and three lay delegates from
Kauai ; making a total of forty-nine members in attendance, of whom thirty-seven
were ordained ministers and twelve were
lay delegates. Fifteen ordained ministers and live lay delegates failed toattend.
There were also present live licensed
preachers, graduates of the North Pacific
Theological Institute, who sat as corresponding members.
Rev. A. PRli, of Lahaina, was chosen
Moderator, and Rev. YV. M. Kalaiwaa,
of West Hamakua, Hawaii, Scribe.
The sessions were harmonious mid
busy, and the fraternal Christian spirit
shown in all the discussions was worthy
of any similar body in any land. Two
occasions of special interest occurred
during the meetings: the earnest and
exceedingly graphic address of Mr. F. W.
Damon on Chi nit, on Wednesday forenoon,
and the entertainment at the parlors of
the Fori St. Church on Thursday afternoon, given by the ladies of the Woman's

Institute vi) Saturday forenoon and evening, were also occasions of much interest.
The annual sessions of the General
Sunday School Association, and the General Young People's Association Were
alsu held at stated tinu-sdiiiing the week,
and were very successful. On Friday,
the exhibition of the o.ilni Sunday Schools
occupied the most of the day. The annual sermons on Foreign Missions were
delivered by Rev. W. C. Merritt In English and Rev. B. W. Kekuewa in Hawaiian ; and those on Home Missions byRev. J. M. Alexander in English and
Rev. A. Pall In Hawaiian. The sessions
of the Association closed on Monday noon,

The work of the Churches has gone on
usual during the past year. A genertil view of the field, however, shows a
great increase of obstacles to the spiritual
as
health and growth of Christian institutions in Hawaii nei. It seems as though
Satan had been let loose lo use bis utmost
efforts lo overthrow the Christian training and uplifting of tin- past sixty years.
In this severe testing lime, the Churches
are being silted US never before, and the
sincerity and steadfastness of Hawaiian
Christians is being tried as by fire.
1 here are yet many who stand fast and
bravely resist the tremendous tide of
temptation, though there are many also
who fall before il. But it is matter of
rejoicing and thankfulness that amid the
general demoralisation now sweeping
over the nation, a goodly number of our
Churches and Pastorsstitl stand out nobly
for the truth as it is ill .le.-us.

conduct, and through them changes other
individuals and grows to change the institutions, laws and customs of society,
and Is thus yet to transform the world.
Tbisgrowlh is made against difficulties.
There is a struggle against destructive
tendencies within and without. The
greatest difficulty to be opposed is the
similar power of evil to grow. An apostle has u-ed this figure of leaven to descril>e sin, saying of corruption in the
churches, "A little leaven leaveneth the
whole lump." We know how sin has a
tendency to grow insidiously from small
beginnings to vast forms of evil ; as the
first sin of our race has grown into all the
subsequent evil. Now, the nature of the
gootl leaven is to oppose this growth of
evil; it must work against it; it must
cause fermentation, or it is not good
leaven. It is God's way when he would
make changes for the better, to introduce
an ingredient that will cause commotion.
Some of the most sublime and awful
scenes of nature have occurred in transformations for the better. The Gospel is
such an element, causing agitation and
strife. Christ came to send a sword.
There is no discouragement In this.
The struggle is to establish righteousness
and peace on the principles of righteousness and peace. Besides, the leaven will
overcome the growth of evil.
Where
sin has abounded, grace will yet more
abound. Greater is He that is in the
Church than he that is in the world.
Moreover, it is more easy to plan) and
spread the leaven than to directly break
down great forms of evil. Besides, the
result will be a thorough and complete
work, a perfect and permanent work,
that Will be a glory to God Himself.
These truths had a wonderful exemplification In tho beginning of Christianity
Hardly anyafter the death of Christ.
thing could have been more discouraging
than that beginning was. The disciples
of Christ, few in number, without education or wealth, or arms, or social Influence,
amongst :i people ibat bad just crucified
their Master, and in tin Idolatrous empire
that bad trodden down every nation from
Britain to the Euphrates, could not have
expected to directly overthrow the great
evil institutions of their day. They have
been blamed for not directly opposing
slavery and intemperance and forms of
civil oppression. They would have only
■roused opposition by so doing and would
have accomplished nothing. They were
divinely led on the cmtrary to unite in
prayer, as they tarried tit Jerusalem, (o
their crucified and risen Master, till their
souls were kindled with a new lite, and
then they imparted that life toothers;
and in spite of Hume and sword that life
spread amongst the hovels of the poor, in
the dungeons of the Imprisoned, in the
catacombs and mountain hiding places,
till nearly a million persons had testified
of it by martyrdom, till at length it rose
into the palaces of the wealthy, and at
last it took the throne of the empire.
A similar illustration of our parable

was afforded in
the modern reformation

hardly seen a darker time than there was
when that reformation begin ; when a

The humble monk, who,
through Gnd's help, largely awakened
thai reformation, could not tit first have

He would have only destroyed himself
by first attacking those evils. He did
not at first even see that they were evils
to be attacked. But he tit first received
certain new and profound experiences of
the truth of justification by faith in Christ.
He Imparted those experience; toothers,
and the life thereby begun grew, and
soon wtis too strong to be overcome by
the Pope or by Emperors, and at length
largely abolished the evil institutions opposed to it, and caused the rise of better
institutions and of all modern reform and
progress, antl we see it still spreading
like leaven and transforming the world.
In considering the work of Home Missions in these Islands, we shall find
divine instruction as well as cnenurageinent in these teachings of the partible of
my text.
1. And first, let us more
vividly realize the familiar truth taught
by it that the mere influences ol civilization are not the poster of the mission
work. Wo tire at a stage in this work
when more advantage can be received
from such Influences than formerly, and
we rejoice in (his. But it is possible to
overrate their importance; it 1.-> possible
to largely substitute them for those Influences, in which alone our true power
lies. Already the complaint is made
that our past mission work has been a
mistake by neglect of mere civilizing Influences. The liiv-! religious teachers of
the- Hawaiian! have been criticised because | hey did not give themselves lo
teaching the Industrial arts, The strange
from
criticism
may in-
remembered, which was
made nut long ago by the popular writer,
Moncure Conway, in which he expressed
regret that instead of teachers nf severe
religious truths there hail not come here
persons more in sympathy with the
beauty of the scenery who might have
Won over the people by the attractions
and beauty of modern culture and refinement. It is pleasant to think of a pagan
people being astonished by the wonders
of our modern industries and led on in
our tropical ivlcn.s with flowers and song
into the beauty of high art, but the fear
would arise lest such Instruction might
only tit them for doing more evil, and
lest such culture might in- only a thin
gauze over corruption. We will surely
most gladly welcome till means in the
future for civilizing, enlightening and
refining the people, but when urged to
make them our reliance we shall call to
mind how the greatest obstacle in the
past mission work in these Islands has
been influences from civilized lands;
Volume 44, No. 7
how the saddest thing the world over for
a degraded people is, fur them, to come
in contact with civilization without the
Gospel ; and how almost impossible it has
been to cause civilization except through
Christianity. We have been Interested
to hear from those who have labored as
missionaries in Micronesia that the first
impulses of the natives there to put on
clothing and to adopt civilized life have
come in religious experiences.
An amusing story is told of how some
gentlemen once took a plow into the interior of Africa and endeavored to teach
the natives how to Use it. As it tora
up more sod in a few hours than the native- could dig up in as many weeks, the
natives danced with delight. The gentlemen left it and returned to the coast.
In a few weeks they came hack to see
how the natives bad .succeeded with it,
and were surprised to find it turned upside down covered with wreaths of
flowers, and that the natives were worshipping it. The natives had a deeper
want than to be taught the industrial arts,
and till that w-mt was supplied it was of
little use to endeavor to civilize them.
Like the demoniac whom Christ found
amongst the tombs they could not become
clothed and ill their right minds till the
[inwer of Christ had come in mercy to
them.
Ik-sides, if it were possible to teach the
forms of civilisation without the Gospel
the result would be only to make abler
heathen. An Illustration is afforded fn
the Chinese, the most, industrious of
heathen, whom, in their present state,
we would not desire to be made the pattern of society. Nor can we admit that
even the highest civilization ever yet
seen should be our pattern,and that it
wouhFbe anything earthly In comparison
with that Kingdom which is as high as
the heavens above our thoughts, which
is the Kingdom of Heaven and of God,
and which so far tis il prevails on earth
is to be Heaven on earth and a glory to
God himself.
\L. There is also Instruction for us in the
parable we tire considering, respecting
what is the power in the Mission work,
and we Slid illustration of this in the for
liter mission work in these Islands. The
history is familiar to most of us how there
came a time in the labors of the first
missionaries, when it was more realised
:>y them than before, thai nothing hut
the power of God could change the hearts
oi the people ; and how they then united
in more earnest prayer than formerly;
and how soon some hearts of the natives
were touched, and through them others,
till at length such a work of God resulted
as has rarely been seen since that of
Pentecost. The continuance of that work
of God has been the cause of all the good
that has since appeared. The method of
that work, to first make the tree good
that it might bear good fruit, made possible till the peace and order, all the establishment of constitutional government
and till the practice of the industries and
refinements of civilization that have since

appeared. We are to attribute all the
present prosperity and progress of these
Islands, till that which makes life sale
and successful and delightful here, to
that method of first making the tree good.
It is true that all has not been accomplished that We could wish, nor should
we have expected it; but more has been
accomplished than they who never saw
genuine heathenism can realise. The
words of John Newton respecting himself have been well applied to the present
condition of this people, I tun nut what
I was ; I am not what I ought to be ; I
am not wliat I hope to be ; I am not what
I shall be ; but by the grace of God I am
what I am." The grace of God working
in the hearts Of the people, as pictured
in the parable of the Leaven, lias been the
one cause of all the good that has ap-
"
peared.
What has been true in the past will be
We rejoice in many
new methods for promoting the welfare
of the people. We rejoice, for instance,
in the institution of boarding-schools
calculated to take the people in the pliant
condition of childhood and train them to
proper character and life. If we had
enough of these schools conducted by the
proper method to care for all the children
of the people, the country might be trans.
formed in tlie time of a generation- It
is earnestly to besought that more wealth
may be consecrated to this object, like
the noble beipiest recently made lor
schools to be called
Kamehameha
Schools." A little over a million dollars
was expended in evangelizing these
Islands, hardly enough for building :m
ironclad or starting a line of steamers ;
ami the investment has paid ; it has paid
in dollars and cents, as is indicated by
our present wealth ; it has paid in social
and moral progress ; it litis paid in the
multitude of souls that have been redeemed. A million more should now be
invested for carrying forward the work
begun to completion ; but it should be Invested in the proper way. The remark
has often been made that our schools for
llawaiians are a curse, since they seem
to educate many only for indolence and
wickedness. They must be so, unless
there is in them the leavening process.
The one thing needful in them, first,
greatest, indispensable, Is the leaven of
the Gospel. The same is true of all other
institutions and enterprises of reform.
The temperance cause, fast becoming one
of the greatest movements of our age,
and imperatively needed now by us, we
will help on by every method in our
power; but in all we do our reliance is to
be on tho power of the Gospel of Christ.
Our Churches and Sabbath Schools we
shall seek to make as perfect in organization and working as possible; and we
shall seek to assist them in their poverty
according to our means; but the one
thing we are to pray and strive for above
forms of association and creeds and labors,
is a reviving influence inspired by Christ
and like leaven transforming the people.

it seeks to secure. The Church is the
body of Christ, and it lives because in it
is the Spirit of Christ, governing and
controlling it, giving to it its activity,
its loves, its
purposes, its aims.
The
Holy Spirit dwells in and should away
the motives, and thoughts, and life of till
Christian hearts. And as the human
body is moved, controlled and governed
by Hie human spirit, producing tho
symmetry of the Individual life, so tho
Holy Spirit is to pervade the Church,
the body of Christ, and producing Identity of faith and love, and sentiment,
and hope, is to guide its actions to the
production of the highest and truest harmony. Diversity of gifts and power and
position and success, there will ever bo

come, but rubbed of jealousy, and envy,
and strife, because each, in his place and
Way, is doing that which the same Spirit

This, then, is the idea of the apostlo
as I understand it, and also the teaching
of Chri.-l himself. Bound to him by a
supreme love, the soul is guided to do
his perfect will. But what a consecration of life and heart this means! I lowfar short tire we now of the perfect:standard, and so far short as we come, so far
dn we limit our own powers for aggressive work.
And yet the Church is by no means
ilest iin|e of this high consecration. How
gloriously the record of the missions and
the thousands of consecrated missionaries

unity that comes from the indwelling
Spirit of (iod. The great cry of tho
people of God to-day should l'e for such

11. What is the relation of humanity
to this unity ? 1 answer, lirst, it is intended to include within it every individual of the human family.
At no time in the history of the world
has the unity of the human race been
insisted upon more, and never litis it received higher human sanction.
Paul
standing on Mars Hill, Imldly declared:
"(■oil hath made of one blnod all nations
of men for to dwell on all the face of the
earth, ami bath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their
habitation; .that they should seek tho
Lord, for in him we live and move anil
have our being." And the best science
of to-day, studying the problem of the
races of men and their origin, from a
purely scientific stand-point, re-aliirms
the declaration of the Apostle and tho
teachings of the Bible, that all these diverse human groups are only races of one
and the same species, i. c., have descended from ti single primitive pair by an uninterrupted and natural succession of
families.

done a fearful work during the hundreds
of generations thtit have passed since the
first creation, but they have not, nor can
they obliterate this great fact that all
men are of one family, or that they bear
the likeness of the eternal (iod, and mayall he redeemed from the thralldom and
bondage of sin and restored to their lirst
estate as children of the Most High.
Hut in view of this truth we must go
further and affirm in the second place,
that the relation is not only one of privilege, that is, that all Stag possess Ibis
Spirit of Christ, but it Is one of obligation;
every man ought to receive it. To make
the most and best of one's self is the
hounden duly of every .soul; but alas,
how feebly this duty rests upon tin-great
mass of men ! How few comparatively
recognize that obligation, although their
failure to do so does not in the least lessen
their responsibility.
And this brings me in the next place
to say, that, because of the bond which
unites the whole of humanity ; because
of the possibility that each human being
may PSceive the grace of (Iod; because
of the obligation which nobis each one of
them in its grasp ; because of the tremendous import of this life in its Influence
upon the eternal life; and because our
Savior died for all men and commands
us to teach them the way of salvation,
there rests a fearful responsibility upon
the Church to carry the (inspol and present it with apostolic beseeching to every
creature. Antl the Church, the body of
Christ, is composed of many members
upon each of whom rests a due share of
this responsibility. Bach of us has a
just part of this work for which we must
give account. God, in giving us the
knowledge of these, and related truths,
lays it upon our individual consciences
to do our individual duty. We, for our
own highest good, need lo know and feel
it; the great mass of men lying in sin,
and want, and wretchedness, need that
we know, and feel and do our duty;
Jesus, who died for all men, and (iod,
the Father, who gave Him to become
the world's Savior, need that we be honest and earnest in the performance of our
individual duties, for they share with us
the honor of participating in the redemption of the world, lying in sin and in
need of a Redeemer. There is no safety
for humanity except in redemption by
Jesus Christ. There is no hope, for the
world except in a real, a vital union with
Jesus Christ. Look in any other direction and the horizon is black with despair.
Were I not a Christian I should be a pessimist. There is for me no middle way.
There must be a real, a genuine unity of
faith, in which tdl men are swayed by
the one Holy Spirit of (iod, in which a
common but supreme love holds every
heart true to .its highest self; by which
the inner nature is changed, absolutely,
receiving upim it the renewed impression
of (iod's image and the seal of the Holy
the essentials of faith named in our text,
while there is freedom and liberty accorded in the non-essentials of faith and
life. And bear in mind always that this
unity does not contemplate uniformity,
but desires diversity in the details of ser-
vice and activity.
Differences and antagonisms have been
the prominent factors In making the
world's history of a dismal, suffering past.
Unity and friendship are demanded as
the factors of a truer, a nobler, a richer
future. The relation of humanity to this
unity is (hat of ability and obligation to
receive and accept its faith. The relation
of this unity to humanity is that of
bounden duty to carry the message of
salvation to every unsaved soul, wheresoever that soul may be.
111. And now, in the third place, wo
come to the study of the present condition
of the world, from which 1 hope to show
you how the indications of the present
should emphasise our faith in the promise
of the Qospal.
Hi a series of articles just published in
The independent, written by Bishop fc'ostSl of the M. 1-:. Church of America, entitled (he "Outlook of the World,'' in
burning words be litis pictured the condition of the heathen. He says :
accepted as simple statements of fact,
•'That the heathen world was ethically
as well as religiously, at the point
of dissolution; that it had become
as bankrupt in morals as in faith ; and
there was no power at hand," i. c., within itself, "from which restoration could
proceed." Against this frightful wickedness, enthroned in the highest places of
power, tis wellas possessing all tho lowest
ranks of society, came Christianity, a now
and unknown religion, undertaking to
change aid vitally renew the moral life
of the capital and the lOmpire.

shall lie satisfied." The work will not
behalf done, nor will the infinite Head
of the Church be satisfied with less than
will satisfy his finite disciples.
Another source- from which I draw increased faith, and hope, and courage, is
found in the actual growth of Christianity
during the present century. The number of Christians—using that term in its
ordinary signification—at the close of the
fifteenth century htis been estimated at
100,000,000. One century later, or 1800
A.!>., at 125,000,000. In 1700, at 150,
000,000. In 1800, at 200,000,001). You
will note that three centuries were required to add the second hundred million to its number. Hut during the first
forty years of this century the third hundred million was added, and in 1880, the
total number of Christiana was estimated
at 410,000,000, or 210,000,000 were added to the number of Christians during
the first eighty years of the century,
while the entire population under
Christian governments was estimated
at nearly 700,000,000, or almost one-half
the population of the globe. This includes, of course, the Roman Catholic,
Greek Church, and Protestcnt Governments, and was divided, approximately,
as fellows: BottWl Catholic, 108,000,
000 ; (jireek Church, 07,000,000 ; Protestant, 420,000,000; the great gain being
made under Protestant Governments.
We, thinking our lorni of belief represents most nearly the mind and will of
Christ as revealed in the Bible, tire therefore glad, and are strengthened in our
faith by seeing the increase indicated by
these figures.
But the> full import of this is to be seen
only when taken in connection with
other great facts. When the nineteenth
century Opened, the facilities of communication between the nations of the
world and within themselves were
tedious and few compared with to-day.
The application of steam to such uses
I'pon the ocean
was just beginning.
only sailing vessels were to be found.
It was not till 1807 that Fulton applied
steam to river navigation, and not until
1810 that ocean steam navigation was
successfully inaugurated. To-day iron
and steel steamers traverse every sea and
touch at every sort of any siss or importance in all the world, affording rapid
and safe transit between all nations. It
was not till 1830 thatrailroads were made
successful, hut now on every continent
and in every civilized land they have
been multiplied until almost all internal
communication is carried on over these
lines. It was as late as 1844 that telegraphic communication was made a success. But now men talk to each other
from the ends of the earth, under sea
and ocean, and over continents. Consider the extent of the inventions and
discoveries in every department of labor,
which have followed upon the application
of steam as a means of power. I cannot

And have you ever
thought to connect the religious awakening at the close of the eighteenth
and opening of the nineteenth centuries with the need of the century ?
Was it not God's gracious preparation, anticipating in his own good way
and time the increased demand for
that moral and spiritual power which
should hold in equilibrium the mighty
conflicting forces about to he let loose
UDOS the earth ? In the advance of the
sciences along their different lines of investigation there have been sharp and
prolonged conflicts bet ween material and
spiritual forces. And it seems to me if
these had found the Church as it was a
century earlier, the injury to morality
and religion would have been almost
Immeasurable. Not that they would
have been driven, ultimately, from the
field, but that they might have seriouslydelayed the Incoming of the perfected
Kingdom of God. But Christ is upon the
throne of the universe ; and in this wonderful and timely preparation tin- deepest need of the world was met and the
Church was aroused to a sense of her
duty so as to wrest for God and truth
every discovery, Improvement and invention, and use them for the spreading
of his trutli and the hastening of the
coining of his kingdom upon earth. In

—An editor of a daily morning paper
says he knows all about the nights of

—You can not hire a man to be

—Someone has said that, "The Roman spear did not hurt Jesus so much

—In the United States the Prohibitionists continue to organize and the
politicians of both the old parties continue to agonize.
—It was a characteristic remark of
President Lincoln about common people

—Total abstainers are not infrequently called fan itics. Well, it is a
mere question of taste: we would rather
be a fanatic than a saloonati'-.

—Kkv. E. C. OfMiEL, pastor of the

success. When tbe above fact was reported to the
association at Marion laßl week, and when the
gentleman who made the announcement expreaaed
his pleasure in it, and added that he hoped many
other women in the Church would be called to do
likewise, there was no expression of disapproval,
as might have been expressed in some ecclesiastical bodies.
—Massachusetts has 475 Congrega-
tional Churches. At the last State Convention Ilev. 1). P. NOTM from the
Committee on Public Worship reported :
Oar ctnirclii'H are now taking on variety and
seeniliness. Instead of tbe old stereotyped order
the report showed that responsive readings are
now used in at least 133 Churcließ, the Lord's
Prayer by tbe congregation in 60, and the Gloria
P.itri in 33; and Mr. Noyks predicts tbat these
changes will go on. He recommended the bowing
of the bead in prayer, standing in time of singing,
and that ministers give more attention to devotional services, and thought it oaght to be possible to have an entire service of actual and profitable worship sometimes, even without a sermon.
—The question now agitating the

the old parties to the saloons makes the
question a very practical one, hence the
large increase in all the States in the
vote polled by the Prohibition party.
For example : In the last State election
in Oregon the Prohibitionists polled over
8000 votes while in 1884 St. John only
received 41)2. Oregon now takes her
place in the list of "doubtful" States,
the Prohibitionists holding the balance
of power.
—Uev. I. Goodell, principal of the
Government-school at Kukuihaele, spent
last week In Honolulu, en route to the
Coast for a brief vacation. Mr. G. reports
himself in labors abundantat Kukuihaele,
he in addition to his day-school having
a night-school of eighteen Japanese and
Chinese, a class of Japanese in the Sunday School, and the leadership of the
music in the Sunday School and native
Church. Mr. Goodell will on his return spend a Sabbath or two in Honolulu,
and will probably supply Fort-St. Church

—Rev. W. B. Oleson, principal elect
of the new Kamehameha Boy's School,
spent two weeks in Honolulu in arranging details and plans for the new school
buildings, and sailed on the 15th tilt, for
a six month's vacation in the United
States, which he will spend in studying
the latest and best methods of industrial
education. We expect a good report
from the new Kamehameha School under

This passion has always been strong.
Bat in tbe past twenty-five years it has

education will time the whole nature of
man up to concert pitch in unison with
the harmonies of God's law and his providence. It will give our sons cleared

Then it was,
in that dark hour of humiliation and
disgrace, that Prussia's greatest Chancellor (not even excepting BiSMAHCK),

no time to trouble himself about the

all Europe wants on Germany's bidding,
a- the result of this far-seeing policy.
Yon Stkin built his empire on Christian
Education, an education under the molding influence of Christian teachers, and
direct religious instruction.
For these reison.s then I believe that
education should be religious: I. In
order to give a full, round, symmetrical
manhood; 2. Because mere Intelligence
will not make and keep men moral; S.
In order to resist the mercantilism of
the age ; 1. That we may have solid
foundation on which to build a stable and
free government.
It is a matter for devout thanksgiving
to God and of gratitude to the noble
and revered founders of Oaiiu OOUJKrS,
that we have here in Hawaii a distinctively Christian Institution of learning.

ITEMS.
We have several times heard it remarked that m this was an exceedingly
well organised community," hut we
never so fully realized the fact hs during
these last tew months, when the number of interests demanding public attention and time to be heard has been so
great that in order to find a place in the
over crowded week it has seemed
necessary for three successive months to
put other gatherings in which we all
were Interested on the same evening on
which occurred our regular monthly Association meeting. In a small community like ours, with only a limited number of workers, it is possible to over-organize, so that a less number of distinct
organizations, with more time and more
supporters for each, would he able to
perform more real aggressive work.
It is with deep regret Hint we learned
Dr. 1.. W. Mi'NHAiii, had given up his
proposed visit to Honolulu. Definite arrangements had been made by him to
come.
He had secured his passage, nnd
left hi- family in Cal., while be went to
Denver, Col., to conduct a series of
union meetings, at the close of which he
was to have joined his family in S. F.,
and start on his voyage to the Colonies,
arriving here July 22nd. Tbe failing
health of his aged mother and other unforeseen circumstances seemed to warrant an Indefinite postponement of the
trip.
The sixteenth Annual International
of General Secretaries was
held in I lariisburg, IVnn., the lust week
in June. About 27.") General Secretaries
and Assistants were present. It was
considered the best ever held.

picture of the tine building erected for
ihe school for Christian Workers at

It is a grand insti-lul ion and meets a long felt want in

HAS CHRISTIANITY A FUTURE ?
The Christian Church, in its general
application, denotes the aggregate body
of believers in Christ. The Institution is
of divine origin, and both Scripture and
history tell us that the well-being and
progress of the Christian cause are dear
to the heart of God. Indeed, the entire
co.lduct of His administration is to promite the highest good of all that love
Him. ; The Church is not only tho substance, security and glory of a land, but
it is the chief cause and interest which
God has in this world. As a bridegroom
rejoices over his bride, so, O Church of
the Living God, does thy God rejoice
over thee.
Before Time was born the cause of
God was assailed. Angels rose in rebellion, and they failed. After Time began,
a happy pair lived with God in Eden,
but an intending foe dropped poison in
the cup of their wedded bliss. The
young Abel, the first professor of religion, became a martyr for the cause of
God. The King of Egypt arrayed himself against the Almighty and oppressed
His chosen peuple. The kings of the
earth have ever set themselves and conspired against the Lord and His anointed.
As soon as the Messiah was born, a ruler
sought the young child, that he might
destroy it Though the attempt failed,
yet in later years the Christ was nailed
to across. And when, after His death,
the Apostles went forth to preach a crucified and risen Lord for men's salvation,
t'.ie State policy was to harass and I ppress and imprison these messengers of
good tidings. One was slain by the
gword, and another banished to a lonely
isle. In the early ages of Christianity
one persecution succeeded another. Julian, the apostate, assailed the Galilean
In after ages the
and His religion.
pathway of the Church's progress lies
through fiery trials and persecutions, so
that there is not a country, hardly a spot
in Europe, that has not been reddened
with the blood of those who have been
slain for the testimony of Jesus. And
yet at no time in the history of the
Church has the power of God failed to
be equal to the emergencies ot the tiny.
In dens mid eaves, in prison and in martyrdom, with the sword over them and
the fl imes near them, those true to God
have never lacked a song of faith and
triumph.
Hitherto the Church has outlived every
attack, and survived every persecution ;
no weapon that has been formed against
it has prospered, and in the whole times
of its history Evangelical Christianity
has never been so strong or so aggressive
as it is to-day. How could it be otherwise
when God and Christ are on the side of
it?
But what as to the future of the
Church ? Some enterprises in history
have had their day, and disappeared to
make way for others. Is it to be so
with the Church, the organization of
God ? Cities of the past have risen,
flourished, and declined. Imperial Rome
disappeared like a vanished star. Tyre
and Sidon, Nineveh and Bahylon, Athens
and Palmyra were great and renowned
centuries ago, but where are the vestiges
of their departed splendor ? Is this also
the destiny of the holy city of God ?
Religious systems have come and gone.
The religions of Persia and Egypt,
Greece and Rome have lived and died.
Though "the beauty of nature, the
charm of art, and the genius of man"
were blended with their thought and
worship, yet, as ethnic religions, they
have shared the fate of the race or
nation with which they were identified.
Is dissolution the destiny likewise of the
religion of Jesus ? We know that it is
not. The Scriptures throughout teach
that at some time Christianity is to be
Anally and completely triumphant; no
other Savior, and no other Gospel are to
come after the divine Jesus and the
heavenly Word, that age after age have
saved men and cheered their lives by
the blessed hope of immortality. And
no other institution is to supersede the
organization of God, which has for its
foundation the words and deeds of Christ.
The Church has stood the shocks ot time
without being overthrown ; and not only
is it a walled city, but a movable column,
continually advancing, of which the most
wondrous things have been predicted.
One sacred penman has, as it were, vied
with another, to spicture in glowing
imagery the glorious future that awaits
the Church of God. And well they
might. For has not Jesus redeemed the
Church with His precious blood ? Is it
not His care, His treasure, His delight,
His reward ? Yes, it is engraven on the
ptlms of His hands—dear to Him as the
apple of His eye. He love-* it wiih an
And at some future
everlasting love.

Number 9.
praise in all the earth. This implies a
greater excellence than our eyes have
ever beheld. Light and knowledge shall
abound in all the earth ; there shall be
holiness and abundance of peace. We
do not know how to illustrate this. The
visible works of God in creation have in
comparison no glory, because of this ex>
celling glory to which the Church of God
is moving onward. The sun itself is
darkness com >ared with Jesus Christ,
the Sun of Righteousness.
And the
Gospel light that is now rapidly spreading over the horizon will shed its rays
on regions yet in darkness, and at an oncoming day it will shine in its fullness,
like the sky at noontide, on Asia and
Africa, and on every portion of the
habitable earth. This is the predicted
future of Christianity ; it is an object at
which we should directly aim, and a
consummation which we cannot too fervently desire.
The day of the establishment and
praise of the Church should be first in
our thoughts. Not to remember Zion
above every other consideration the
Church of old deprecated as a calamity.
"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my
right hand forget her cunning. If I do
not remember thee, let my tongue cleave
to the roof of my mouth ; if I prefer not
Jerusalemabove mychiel joy." Absence
did not lessen their affection. Zion was
in their thoughts, and they were devotedly attached for it, with an affdetion
like that of a mother to her child, or like
the feeling of a man for his bosom friend.
This pledged and glorious event should
also continually be in our prayers. The
honor has been put upon us to be the
Lord's remembrancers. The cause of
Jesus Christ is one in which every Christian has an interest, and therefore we
should not keep silent, and give God no
rest until He establish His kingdom in
all the earth. Friends, it is time for fervent, importunate prayer; time to plead
at God's mercy seat, urge His promises,
argue tie person and deeds of His annointed Son, and ask till He cause our
souls to hope.
But it is also our duty to work. Prayer
and earnest effort must go hand in hand.
As Christians we are God's; our time,

gain advantage of propitious winds. It
is so with us! The more full the gifts
and divine breathings of the Spirit, the
busier let us be—busier in the use of
prayer, of the Bible> and of all those
ordinances through which the Spirit
works and impels souls onward and homeward in a heavenly course." Are we
individually doing our appointed part in
this active and aggressive work of saving
men ?
On a cold, frosty morning, two friends
were walking together, and, in the
course of a pleasant ramble, they came
to a spot which was enlivened by a pretty
stream, and the music of a waterfall.
The still and silent pool was frozen, and
as it lay there quietly locked in its
frosty fetters, it strikingly contrasted
with the lively spirit of the free and
flowing rivulet. "Look," said one of
the friends as he pointed to the cataract
tumbling down its clear waters, "it is
too busy to freeze !" So should we be
busy and work with energy and enthusiasm, cheered by the fact that in all
lands sowers are sowing, and reapers arc
reaping, and glorious crops are growing.
In the medieval past alchemists sought
the philosopher's stone—that mystic
stone, the touch of which would transmute the worthless into precious treasures. They never found it. Yet it is
in the world. It is that "stone which
the builders rejected," but which has
"become the head of the corner"—Christ
Jesus. Through His mighty love the
world will be saved, and the universal
song shall be :

SAILOR'S HOME SOCIETY
AND THE HOME.
The above Society was established in
1854 and held its first meeting in the
Bethel, on the 21st of November of that
year.
Of its original officers and members
only a few are now among the living ami
of these only Messrs S. N. Castle, H.
M. Whitney and J. T. Waterhousk
Sr. are residents of these Islands.
The object of the Society was to provide suitable, respectable and cheap lodgings for the numerous sailors who Were
then visiting this port, with such influences thrown around them as would tend
to their well being in other respects.
For the purpose of incorporation a
Charter was granted to the Sailor's
Home Society and a piece of land set
apart by the Government on which to
build the Home, such land to remain the
property of said Society, as long as it was
used for the purposes set forth in the
Charter.
The funds required for constructing
the present Sailor's Home building were
raised by public subscription and the interest shown in accomplishing the object of the Society by his late Majesty
Kamehameha IV may well be recorded
here. He laid the foundation stone of
THE
the building on the Olst of July 1855
and soon after that the house was ready
to receive its inmates.
Thus the Society started on its sphere
of usefulness in this community and has
continued to carry out its object through
nil these years until now. Looking back
upon this period and remembering the
many fellow workers intent to further
the good work of this institution, the
figure of the late Rev. S. C. Damon, D.
D. stands first and foremost before our
vision, and his name and labors are identified with all the good that the Home
ever has done for the sailor here.
The conflagration of the 18th of April
of this year consumed the out buildings
of the Home and only providentially the
building itself escaped destruction by
fire. The three-storied wooden structure had ere then often been spoken of
as a fearful threat of fire and the late
conflagration directed public opinion
more strongly than ever to the danger
offered by the Sailor's Home to the city
in case a fire should occur in its immediate neighborhood or in the building itself. The Board of Trustees duly recognized the fact and thought it their duty
to take steps by which the threatened
danger would be obviated and the fears
of the public be allayed whileat the same
time the continued existence of the
Sailor's Home Society as a Corporation
would be secured and arrangements be
made by which its sphere of usefulness
could still be maintained.
To achieve this end the Board appointed a Committee of five of its members to confer with I he 1Government and
ascertain on what terms arrangement*
for the removal of the present building
and the surrender of a part of the site
belonging to the Sailor's Home Society
under its Charter could be effected.
The Government met the views of
the Committee in a liberal spirit and
i'. was mutually agreed upon tint the
'milding be removed, the Society enjoying the benefit of the proceeds thereof, and the Government entering into
possession of half of the original Sailor's
Home premises, the Society retaining
I lot of land of 67 feet frontage <>n
Bethel street adjoining the old Bethei
Church premises and running back to
the Rwh end of the lot at right angles.
furthermore the Government agrees,
iHyeet to the sanction by the Legislative
Assembly, to pay $5000 towards the
construction of a new Sailor's Home
building whenever the same amount or
more is raised from" other sources for
that purpose during the five years ensuing. If at the close of such term of
five years no such fund is raised then
the lot reserved as above Will revert
to the Government.
At a special meeting of the Sailor's
Home Society held on the 25th of Aug.,
the above terms and conditions were
agreed to by unanimous vote of the
members present and the proper officers
were authorized and instructed to have
a document drawn up and signed, em-
bodying the terms and conditions mutually agreed upon.
The original Sailor's Home building
will therefore soon become a thing of
the past, but it is earnestly to be hoped
that soon another structure will take
its place which in smaller dimensions
and perhaps on a smaller scale, may
prove to be a useful institution in this
community and a boon to the seaman
who visits our shores. For this object
the liberality of our fellow citizens will
doubtless not be called upon in vain.

VACATION NOTES.
Our highly esteemed friend, Dr. Geo.
F. Hunting, the able and popular pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Kalamazoo, Mich., recently started a

publication
Church for the benefit of his congregation. Should the reader ask what this
has to do with our vacation, we reply:
Nothing. Yet there must somewhere
be a connecting link, or the above would
probably not have been written, at least
not where it appears. The link is this:
In the August number Bno. Hunting
says:
We are a little in doubt as to
whether we have earned a vacation, but
the people tell us we ought to have a fewweeks of rest, and so God willing, we
are going for an outing. We have a
feeling that it is a selfish sort of thing to
go off and leave so many of you here at
home, but perhaps we can do better for
you, after a little release from the routine of life, and so you may be the gainers in the end. We expect to find new
material for sermons and prayer meeting
talks, and new vigor for pastoral work
while we ramble in the woods, or lounge
by the lake side and we hope to come
back to you with a large iucrease ot physical and mental capital."
Our people here also intimated that we
ought to take a rest and the Trustees
very kindly allowed us such time us we
should need for a visit to the Australian
Colonies. But ascertainingsubsequentl.y
that tnc trip would demand eleven weeks
and being on the point of erecting a new
Church edifice we postponed this contemplated voyage till a more convenient
time. As a substitute we accepted a cordial invitation from Mrs. Adelia Cornwell to spend a few weeks at her home
on Maui and at this hospitable and beautiful mansion Mrs. Out;el and the writer
enjoyed through the month of July generous hospitality, delightfully cool weather, pleasant social intercourse and rest.
Shortly after our arrival we accepted an
Invitation from Mr. and Mrs. E. M.

the third Suixlay, the Rev. Arthur D.
BtWBLL) the expected pastor, and wife
arrived. Mr. BUUU is still young In
years and his biography brief; yet,
though brief, by no means devoid of interest. He was Ixim in India; educated
at Amherst College and for five years at
Vale Divinity School; then went to India
as missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. ; after eight months there he was sent back
on account of Mrs. Bissell's ill health and
after spending some months in the States
received a call to the Foreign church at
Wailuku. Mrs. Bissell is the daughter of an old resident of Maui, known
doubtless to many of our readers, Mr.
M. M. Gower, who however left the Islands in 1870. As to the Wailuku church,
the Rev. S. E. Bishop, who acted as
Scribe at the organization of the church
reports this, in the February number of
The Friend, 1808, to have taken place
on January 15th of that year. From
this report we learn that the original
name was "The Union Protestant
Church," a very good name for a church
with the Protestant left out. A few
days after the arrival of the pastor and
his wife a reception was given them and
us at the residence of Mil. and Mrs.
Lowrie, at Kahalui. A special train
was kindly placed at the disposal of all
who desired to be present. And it appeared that wiien they congregated from
Waikitpu at one end and Spreckelsville at
the other, the house was soon filled with
pleasant people and the evening made
so enjoyable to us, and indeed to all
present, that it will ever have a place in
our remembrance.
One word more about Bro. Bissell.
The last Sunday of our stay was for him
the first one in his present field. His
sermon as to matter and method was the

We take the liberty to quote a few lines :
« So the old Bethel building has become
a memory like its former and devoted
pastor, my life-long triend Dr. Damon.
I sympathize with your desire and effort
to perpetuate its name and usefulness
and will therefore add my name to its

Dr. Smith's letter was accompanied by
a contribution of one thousand dollars,
for which the generous donor will please
accept our thanks.
On the evening of the 13th a letter of
dismissal was granted to the member,
Geo. L. Bates, in order that he may
unite with a church of his choice in
Chicago. Bro. Bates has given himself to the Gospel ministry and will enter
on his theological studies in that city
this month.
Two meetings of the Trustees were
held during the month at the residence
of Hon. J. O. Carter, for the purpose
of di-posing of the old Bethel Church
site and to secure a suitable lot for the
location of the new edifice. To this
matter the attention of the congregation
will be besought at an early date.
We miss in our Sunday school the
familiar faces of Miss Charlotte A.
Carter, Mr. J. O. Carter, Jr., and
Mr. Maurice Beckwith who have exchanged their island homes for a stay
of a year or more in the East. We
also regret the departure of Miss Helen

and doubtless at leisure moments draw
as many caricatures as boys with sharper
pencils. The only advantage they at
tirst enjoyed over the boys in native
schools was in methods of teaching. The
Hindu schools at that time laid great
stress on noise; the quiet pupil was in imminent peril of a rap (of the knuckles or something harder) on his shaven
pate from an irate teacher, while he who
loudly and persistently conned his lesson was pretty sure of favor. Any boy,
young or old, can at once see what a
grand chance that gave to fool the teacher,—to pretend to be learning something,
to be bright and smart, while In reality
you are just as ignorant and stupid aa
ever. The missionaries of course made
sweeping and revolutionary changes;
they abolished from the school all noise
that was strictly necessary, and actually
undertook to give the boys a little Information. The aim was to open the eyes
of those poor creatures, and if possible
win them to Christ and set them to
teaching other boys. And that aim haa
been steadily adhered to amid all subsequent changes. The result is that at
present the mission employs a large number of native young men, graduates of
the schools and Christians, in teaching
small schools in the numerous villages
that dot that part of the Bombay Presidency. Accommodations are often not
much better, but as a rule the boys can
have the use of slates and books, while
the teachers are trained to profitable
methods of instruction. In these litt'e
schools, the low caste boys (who are virtually though not legally excluded from
Government schools) learn the rudiments
up to the third or fourth Government
standard. The inspector appointed by
Government visits these schools, and
draws up a report of progress and efficiency; whereupon if the report is favorable, Government makes a "grant In aid,"
to help maintain the work.

EDUCATION IN INDIA.
BY REV. ARTHUR D. BISSELL.
I.
Readers of The Friend may be interested to know something of educational work as carried on by the oldest mission of the American Board, the Maratha
Mission at Ahmednagar, India. Tae
tlrst missionaries found it difficult to obtain any scholars, even from the paupers
who had consented to listen to preaching
for the consideration of a farthing or so
per day. At last a few were persuaded
to come more or less regularly,—boys
only; for girls could Jno more be taught
to read than donkeys, at least so said the
Hindus when asked to send their daughters. The boys were accommodated in
rather sorry quarters, though better than
to. A
many of them were
roof of thatch or tiles held aslant against
the city wall by means of posts at the
corners, a floor nicely washed over with
mud and then dried, for seats the floor,
for slates boards smoothly overlaid with
fine sand, for pencils their own fingers,
—such was the style In which they began their education. With those crude
tools they could learn the rudupeuts;

FIRST HYMN OF ISAAC WATTS.
Watts wa.s but a youth when he wrote
his first hymn. He was visiting his
father, and had worshipped one Sabbath
morning at the little Independent chapel
it 8 luthampton. On his way home he
complained of the crude, uncouth psalms
they had to sing. '«Don't complain unless you can write better, said the deacon.
"If I can write better, will you sing
them ?" A promise was made, and the
next Sabbath they sang from manuscript
the ({lories of tbe Limb
" Behold
Aiuid Hie Father's throne ;
Prepare new honors for tiis name,
An i songs before unknown."
Other hymns were soon prep tred, and
these "songs before unknowu" awakened new interest and infused new life
into the psalmody of the churches. Mr.
Watts sent copies of the hymns to Dr.
Cotton Mather, and in 1741 the book
was published in America. Watts wrote
six hundred and ninety-seven hymns.
He wrote two-fifths of the hyinna used
by
the English-speaking world. —Stand-

MULTIPLICATION.
There are a few principles in the multiplication of numbers which may bo of
great service to business men, and hence
worth the teaching to our young men
before they leave school. If any young
man will give attention to these principles as they appear in The Friend, I
promise him perfect satisfaction, as the
tradesmen say. Any that can learn
common arithmetic can practice these
principles to advantage.
1. To find the product of any two
numbers betwen 10 and 20, multiply the
units' figures together and write in the
product as units the right-hand figure ol
toe product thus obtained, and add to
the sum of the units' figures the lefthand figure of the product, and write
the right-hand figure of the sum for the
tens' figure of the product, and finally to
the product of tens' figures of the multiplicand and multiplier, add the left-hand
figure of the sum for the hundreds'
figure of tho product.
Example—lBxl9=342.
Explanation—Bx9 72. Write the 2
for the units' figure of the product.
8+ 9 + 7=24. Write the 4 for the tens'
figure of the product.
IXI =1; I+2 3. Write the 3 for
the hundreds' figure of the product. We
have 842, Ans.
Again—l7xl6=272.
Explanation—7x6 42. Write the 2
for the units' figure of the product.
7+ 6 + 4=17. Write the 7 for the
tens' figure of the product.
IXI =1; 1 + 1=2.. Write the 2 for
the hundreds' figure of the product. We
have 272, Ans.

2. The product of any two numbers of
two figures each, when the unit figure in
each is 1, may be found by writing in
the decimal order the unit figure 1, for
the unit figure of the product, the sum
of the tens for the tens' figure of the product, and the product of the tens for the
hundreds of the product Thus: 91 x7l
=6461.
Explanation—lxl =1- Write the 1
for the unit of the product. 9 + 7=16.
Write the 6 for the tens' figure of the product 9x7 + 1 =64. Write the 64 for
the hundreds of the product. We have

If the reader will practice the principles given above, and become familiar
with the operations, he will be prepared
for the next methods, which will appear
in the October number of Thk Fkiend.
It is thought that they will be still more
interesting, and quite useful as a time
and labor saving device. It is desirable
that all the principles be filed away for
reference and examination when the
entire work on multiplication is finished.
KINDNESS IN SCHOOL.
The world has yet to learn the power
of kindness. It is to the teacher the
philosopher's stone—a real existence
without the aid of alchemy. It disinns
malice, conciliates an adversary, soothes
discontent, makes an advocate or champion of every pupil, and carries to each
family circle an influence which secures
golden opinions and troops of friends.
What the lever ot Archimedes was to
mechanics, this is in morals and social
life. That could move the material
world; this is able to move the social
and spiritual. This, however, has the
advantage of that, as the place to stand
upon is already found—it is the nature
of a human being.
I would affectionately commend the
following lines to the attention of my
brother teachers:
for Kindness speaks
" BeAkind,
language quite her owu ;
The charms she hath, the good she seeks,
To all mankind are known.
The rudest sivage feels her sway—
She rules the most refined,
And seems in pleading tones to aay,
Who'er thou art, be kind."
Be kind, if love sbonld dwell
VVnerever man is funud ;
It should in beauty most excel
Where Cnristiaus most abound.
Reciprocated kindness there
With every graoe combined,
Should set the world example fair,
And teach it to be kind.
Be kind. The gentlerain,
The bright and glorious sun,
And every souroe wheuoe good we gain,
Are kept by Ood from none.
Bat both the evil mid the just,"
"
"
By goodness undefined,
Alike are blest. Then, if ye trust
In God, ye should be kind.
Be kind to every friend ;
This friendship's self demands ;
Be kind to foes who sore offend,
For this your Lord commands.
Let not the Christian cause through you
Be weakened or maligned:
In all ye say, in all ye do,
Be courteous—be kind.
Be kind to erring ones;
The best of men aver,
That he who most pollution shuns
Feels most for those who arr.
There is no human will so strong
That cannot kindness bind ;
Jostioe mast punish what is wrong,
Yet Justice oan be kind.
Be kind. If you are rioh.
Ye need indeed to care ;
For Ood hath given wealth of whioh
Tbi poor should have share.
•
Ye iiinv be bountiful, hat yet
To charity be blind ;
Ye ni iy give freely, bat forget
Ye also shoald be kind.
Be kind. If ye sre poor,
Yi> know how kindness smooths
Tbs roughest fortunes ye endure,
And how it sorrow soothes;
Ye know ye mat receive relief,
Yi'i sympathy not Qnd ;
Then learn to sympathize with grief—
The poorest can be kind.
Be kind. If jo sre old.
Love may not light yonreye;
The strongest passion may ({row cold,
Rut virtue cannot die.
There is ruKpect from youth to yon,
By (Jod sud men assigned ;
Let your deportment claim it too:
Ye aged ones, be kind.
Be kind. If ye are young,
And free, as yet, from cares.
Remember, ye mast w ilk among
I 1111ii in 1>«i.-1 ill.) mid snnres ;
"The small sweet courtesies of life"
For mortals were designed,
To iiiii inn- peace—to banish strife ;
Employ them, and be kind.
Be kind. Why should yon not.
If constant friendship cheers,
And makes morti bearable your lot
In this our vale of tearsr"
Oh ! think how different your fate
Had yon neglected pined ;
If kindness shown to you be great,
Oh 1 should you not be kind ?
Be kind. Why should you not ?
If faithful friends are few.
And if you seem lo be forgot
By those you once deemed true,
Should you not sympathize with those
To cold neglect consigned ?
Can you not feel for others' woes ?
Oh ! should you not be kind ?
Be kind. Forget, forgive
The wrongs wlnoh you receive ;
Oh ! strive in love wirh nil to live,
This world ye suon mast leave.
Then cultivate n generous mind—
Live peace ably with all mankind,
And those, at death ye leave behind,
Will bless your memory, and—be kind."
"
DRUNKENNESS.
—" Drunkenness," says Raskin, << is
not only the cause of crime, but it is
crime" and if any encourage drunkenness for the sake of the profit derived
from the sale of drink, they are guilty
of a form of moral assassination as criminal as any that has ever been practiced
by the bravos of any country or of any
age."
Eromanga.—The Presbyterian Record
of Canada publishes a letter from Rev.
H. R. Robertson, who has just resumed
work on Eromanga which he began thirteen years ago. On his return he was
welcomed with the greatest cordiality by
the people. Day after" day for a whole
week the natives gathered to welcome
him back. Some women actually carried their infants over the island twenty
miles to meet the returned missionary.
A present of a ton and a half of large
yams and twelve bogs was made to him.
Thirty-seven candidates were baptized,
and on June 28 not less than 179 church
members sat down together at the Lord's
table. Six hundred and ten natives were
present at the services, which were held
close by the large rock upon which the
body of the missionary John Williams
was laid after his murder. Mr. Robertson speaks with greatest satisfaction of
the condition of things on the islands.—

ASSOCIATION AT
HILO.
The Evangelical Association of the island of Hawaii held its semi-annual
meeting this time at Hilo, beginning its
sessions on Thursday, August 12th, and
closing them on Tuesday the 17th.
There were in attendance the Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board,
all the pastors of the churches on the island except three who were prevented
from ominjr either by sickness or absence from the island, and one delegate
from each church. The sessions were
busy, harmonious, and profitable. Reports
for the past six months were read from
the various churches, among which was
a report from the venerable Father Lyons
of the church at Waimea, in which he
mentioned his increasing infirmity of
body, and requested the Association to
make some arrangement to relieve him
of the burden of bis church work. Much
sympathy was expressed for him, and
the Rev. D. Kapali, a former missionary
to the Marshall Islands, but now resident
at Kohnla, was assigned to assist in the
care of the Waimea Church until the next
meeting of the Association. Essays wore
next read on subjects or portions of Scripture which bad been assigned to the pastors at the previous meeting. This exercise is found to be valuable as a means
of stimulating thought and adding to the
interest of the meetings, as each essay is
criticised by the members, and often
opens up an interesting and valuable discussion on some practical or doctrinal
point.
The needs of the churches were considered, and arrangements made for the
supply of those without pastors during
the next six months. The subjects of
Foreign and Home Missions were brought
before the body. Also that of the Theological School at Honolulu.
Thursday and Friday were thus occupied exclusively, and Saturday was devoted entirely to the exhibition of the
Sunday Schools. The exercises consisted almost entirely of Scripture recitations and the singing of appropriate
hymns, and we were pleased to note the
entire absence of attempts at comic or
dramatic performances, or Inappropriate
songs, such as have in years gone by
disgraced some such occasions. On the
contrary, everything was appropriate and
befitting such an occasion. The exercises were honored by the interested presence of Her Royal Highness,
Princess Liliuokalani, and greatly aided
by the assistance of Mr. Berger and his
band, who played three of the hymns
while the whole audience joined in a
volume of song that was truly inspiriting.
The total number of Sunday School
tbe silver was soon precipitated—a sharplcss mass indeed, but
every grain there. A few days after it
came back a more beautiful cup from the
hands of the silversmith. May not Ood
as readily restore our bodies after the
decay and disorganization of death ?—
George F. Pentecost.
scholars who took part was 183, of whom the jar, and
were connected with the Hilo Sunday School and the rest represented ten
different Sunday Schools from the other
districts of the island. The exhibition
began at in o'clock a. m., and lasted till
half-past five p. m., with the exception
of an intermission of an hour at noon,
when all partook of a feast which the
good people of Hilo had provided in an
immense shed outside of the church.
The Princess bad provided a prize of a
beautiful silver flagon and cup for the
school which should be adjudged to have
excelled. The prize was neatly inscribed
on the outside, in Hawaiian
(if)
"NO KE KULA BABATI I LANAKILA. NA
1886."
At the close of the exhibition, the
prize was awarded to the school from
Kalapana, under the leadership of Hon.
J. W. Kauwila, the lately defeated candidate for Representative. All were
agreed that this school fully deserved
the prize.
On Monday forenoon, the Association
was again in session, and the afternoon
was devoteii lo the sessions of the Sunday School Association, which is regularly organized witli its constitution, officers, and members representing the different Sunday Schools of the island, and
which always meets at the same time
and place as the Evangelical Association.
Tuesday forenoon, the Evangelical
Association finished up its work, and adjourned to meet next March at Waiohinu
LILIUOKALANI.
HILO, AUG. 14,

BUSINESS AND RELIGION.
A wealthy, irreligious, shrewd business man in Illinois was approached by
a member of the church of Christ for a
subscription towards building a meetinghouse. He cheerfully put down his
name for two hundred dollars, and then
remarked, "I give that as a good business investment. I would rather give
two hundred dollars every year than not
to have the gospel preached in this community."
How is that ?" he was asked. You
do not pay any heed to the gospel. Why
are you interested in having it preached ?" "O," he replied, "I live here
with my family, and my property is
around here; without the infliieuoe of
Christianity the condition of society
would soon become such that neither
property nor life would be safe. I would
not be willing to live in any community
where the gospel was not preached !"
These views of a hard-headed man of
the world are confirmed by all experience. Christianity is the salt of the
earth. Only the utterly abandoned would
be content to live where its influence
had ceased to be felt

The regular monthly meeting for August was omitted in accordance with
action taken by the Board of Directors at
their last meeting.
Gen. Sec. S. D. Fuller is searching for

Notwithstanding that so few people
are in town at present, the Sunday afternoon meetings have been continued, and
members who are able to attend should
endeavor to do so, particularly those who
are on the Committee on Devotional
Work.
Of the pledge cards sent to members
some time ago, there are still some which
have not been returned. It is owing
probably to oversight in some number of
cases on the part of those who received
them, but the Treasurer will be glad to
have them filled up and sent to him soon.
Topics for the Sunday afternoon meetings for the month will be as follows :
September 5.—" Wise Counsel to a

Though obtained at great cost and expense, the owner of the wine graciously
asks nothing for drinking. All he requires Is, that you acknowledge and feel
your need of it. When a petition is presented for a draught, the Owner replies,
<• According to your faith be it unto you."
It the petitioner be well stocked with
faith, he will receive a full supply of the
wine. And if he wishes to carry some
of it home with him for future use, he
must be in possession of the faith container, for no other will hold it.
This wine possesses medicinal properties which are very remarkable. For
chronic diseases such as evil-heart, blackheart and vile-heart, it is a sovereign
remedy. Imbibed in large quantities, it
Is a foe to melancholy. And when
condensed and made into pills, it is efflcatious in cases of dyspepsia. Multitudes
of dyspeptic souls that went about- crying, M Who will show us any good ?" by
taking these pills, have had their organs
of digestion restored to soundness, and
an edge put to their appetites as if by
miracle—so powerful is the wine in its
operation. I might mention many more
of its medicinal properties, but your own
thoughts will suggest them to you.
It remains to relate a case in which
the curative properties of the wine were
strikingly exhibited. The case is that
of a Mr. Saul, who lived In the first
century and was afflicted with jaundice.
The nature of his disease led him to view
things In a wrong light, it put an evil
aspect to the doings of some of his neighbors; and being a zealous man in his
views, he thought it his duly to try and
reform these neighbors of his. But the
manner in which he started upon his
career of reformation was a novel one.
It was by <* breathing out threatening
and slaughter against the disciples of the
Lord; by making havoc of the Church,
entering into every house, and haling
men and women committed them to
prison." (How would such a reformer
suit our times ?)
In the midst, however, of his reforming zeal, Mr. Saul trot a drink of the
wine, and the jaundice all left him; he
saw things in their true light, and set
about reforming upon another principle.
Another property of this wine is, that
it informs the judgment, and enlightens
the understanding. There is a case mentioned of a young gentleman who was
self-willed, and proud withal. He
thought, that by setting up for himself,
he would make a greater show in the
world, than by remaining in his father's
house. So he asked his father for his
portion of goods, and having received it,
he set out to make his fortune; but he
did not succeed in his expectations; he
soon became bankrupt, losing all his property. In his destitution, he providentially obtained a draught of the wine
whose praises we are sounding, enabling
him to perceive that the course which he
bad taken in leaving his father's house,
was wholly wrong. His judgment being
informed, as well as his mind enlightened by the draught, he decided that the
best thing he could do now would be to
return to his father's house. As he
thought, so it proved, he met with a
kind reception on his return home.
This wine hasalso cleansing properties.
An extraordinary instance of its power
to cleanse is the case of Mr. John Newton, a native of England. He was a
very profane man; so much so, indeed,
that he was styled the
African Blasphemer." Well, in the course of his
blasphemies, it occurred that he took a
pretty copious draught of the wine; and
it is related that it washed the oaths completely out of his mouth, so tbat, for ever
afterwards, he lived quite a decent gentleman. Being engaged, at the time, in
the slave trade, the wine cleansed him of
that filthiness as well.
Multitudes who have had their hearts
frozen in the ice of selfishness, have been
recuscitated by this wine. Some who
were home bound have had their home
ties sundered, and they have been sent
abroad on an errand of benefaction to
mankind in general.
A virtue none the less estimable for its
negative quality, is the power wnich
this wine possesses of blinding the eyes
to the faults and misdeeds of our neighbors, so that instead of denouncing
them before the world, we go to them
and help them mend their errors.
If men were only filled with this wine,
a great many of the idle tales passing to
and fro, would never be heard. The
peace of families would be preserved;
slander, and talebearing, and backbiting,
and censoriousness, would all be put
down; and there would be a glorious
time.
Language fails to impart a just conception of the goodness of this wine. I
therefore invite you all to taste of it;
then you can Judge for yourselves.
You are anxious, perhaps, by this
time, to hear the name of the cup from
which the wine is drunk. Well, the
name of it is, the Cup of Free Grace.
This you might easily have guessed from
"
.
the text which says, "Come, buy wine
und milk, without money and without
price."
The Cup of Free Grace is unique. It
is divided into two compartments; one
contains wine (or exhilerating, medicinal and cleansing purposes; the other
contains milk for nourishment The
world is a hospital, and all men are patients. In providing the Cup of Free
Grace with two compartments, we behold thewisdom of the great Physician
who has charge of the hospital; the wine
is to restore the sick to health, and the
milk to nourish them after they become
convalescent. Did the Cup of Free
Grace contain wine only, there would be
room to suppose that patients would famish. It would be no mercy to cure a
man of his maladies, and then leave him
to perish of hunger. The Cup of Free
Grace provides against such a catastrophe. Therefore it becomes us all to bow
down, and adore the wisdom which contrived it
EXPLICATION.
The words of the text are an invitation from the Lord Jesus Christ to sinners, to come and partake of the provisions of the Gospel, which provisions
are life and salvation.
The invitation U general in one sense,
and particular in another. It is general,
inasmuch as it is extended to all mankind. «*Hu, everyone, come ye to the
waters.' It is particular in the sense
that it is available to the thirsty soul only, "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come
ye to the waters."
The invitation specifically is to the
weary and heavy ladened sinner; to the
man who, having come to a knowledge
of his true
burdened with the
weight of sins, thirsts after a righteousness that shall deliver him from the
plague of his own heart. To him are
the glad tidings announced, that Jesus
is able to meet all the necessities of his
case, that he stands ready with the
might of his Spirit to draw him from the
miry clay" and to plant his feet upon
the lasting foundation of the Rock of

THE WOMAN'S BOARD.
The August meeting of the Woman's
Board was held at the usual time and
place. Twenty-five ladies were present,
a full attendance for this season of the
year.
Mrs. S. N. Castle read an interesting
and instructive paper on the life and
work of Francis Xavier. Miss nhattuck from Mt. Holyoke Seminary, was
present, and addressed the Society, giving some account of the work for missions in the school; also of the schools
in South Africa that are modeled after
Mt. Hob'oke.
Two hundred pupils have gone out
from Mt. Holyoke as missionaries. No
special business came before the Society.

EVOLUTION.
The
Southern Presbyterian Church of
AiriaM-ica has been for the past two years
in a panic over the theory of Evolution.
The oacasion of this theological ferment
wis tin- fact that Dr. Wiiodrow of the
Theological Saminary, at Columbia, ,S.
C, taught lo his class-room that, while
it has not yet been clearly demonstrated
by scientists, yet suffi.-icut well ascertained facts have been made known to
render it probable that God created the
universe by a proa-ess of Evolution, and
that it is also probable man's animal na-
ture was produced by the same process.
The supporting Presbyteries made haste
to demand Dr. WOODROW'S dismission.
The trustees of the Seminary yielded to
the demand; but Dr. Woourow refused
to leave the Seminary under censure
without trial. The ease was taken up
by the Southern Presbyterian General
Assembly, and that body gave to the
World this amazing, extra-scriptural,
medinvel decision :
l'n it tie Siri.auivs trach that Adam and Ei-e
were created, bo ly and soul, by immediate set. of
div: ie a "-ver, n u 1 that A Jam's bo ly .v is fashioned
by •} id without any natural animal parentage ol
any kind, oat of matter previously created from
nothing.
And the Assembly earnestly recommended by a vote of 88 to -'>, that the
four synods having control of the Seminary dismiss Dr. Woodrow.
The Hoard of Trustee-, complied, and
Dr. Woodrow was dismissed, thusbeing
virtually condemned of heresy by hi*Oenend Assembly
by indirection" and
without trial !
But the end is not yet. Charges of heresy
were preferred against Dr. Woodrow
in his own Presbytery, that of Augusta,
Ga., for maintaing the doctrine of Evolution as applied to the animal man."
Dr. Woodrow was acquitted by a vote of
13 to 9. The Presbytery of Augusta, by
a vote of 12 to », protesterl against the
action ot the General Assembly in attempting to exercise by indirection, authority in the ease by passing a resolution
condemning the position of Dr. Woodrow before the case had properly come
before the Assembly. The case will now

probably be regularly appealed until it
reaches the General Assembly.
We believe that science will yet demonstrate the truth ot a theory of evolution. We do not believe that Christianity lias anything to fear from scientific
progress. She has much more reason to
fear the effect of such dogmatic, extrascriptural deliverances as that quoted
above by that very conservative body of
divines.

They reported that they had been fiftytwo days and nights in an open boat out
on the ocean.
The wrecked vessel left Sydney, NewSouth Wades, on the 7th of June last.
On the loth of July, near midnight, she

24th of July it was determined to send
a boat's crew to seek assistance. HENRY
Norman, first mate, and six sailors

The most notable trend of scientific
thought during the past few years is that
which has led steadily away from materialism, so popular lifteen years ago, and
back: to the theory of tbeistic evolution,
so ably advocated by Profs. Dawson and
Dana in America, and Lot/.i:, Hamilton, Dr. CabPKVTER, Hi-xmuoltz, and
the late CUCBK Maxwkll in the old
world. More and more the best scientitia thought of tin- day is coming into
h.iriuoiiv with the best religious thought
of the day. It is no longer materialistic:
it is, if not in all cases tbeistic, at least
not antagonistic to revealed religion. As
an instance: One of the strong arguments against the Scriptures has been
the supposed antiquity of mail. But
here the best scientific thought of the
day is in harmony with the Scriptures.
At the last meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science,
Dr. Hortio Hale, Vice-President of
the Aulhropologicalsection, read a paper
on the "Origin of Languages and the Antiquity of Speaking Man." His conclusions were summed up as follows:

effect were made at once and on the 14th
the steamer Witinlenlr left this port for
Ocean Island. From an interview with
the men at the llomi* we learn that
before they left their companions a quantity of fish had been caught from the sea
and that turtles abound on the Island,
but that the great danger which threatened them was the want of water. We
await the return of the Wuialeale with
interest and anxiety.
Before we go t,o press we are able to
add that the Waialeale returned to
this port on the 29th ult., bringing the
news that a paper had been left behind on
Ocean Island by ('apt. 11. A. .Martin
stating that he and his men had been
rescued by the ship Birnam Wood and
taken to Valpariso; mid that at the time
of departure the crew were all well.
HON. H. A. P. CARTER.
During tin-month just past Honolulu
has been honored with a visit from his
excellency, the Hon. 11. A. P. Carter,
Hawaiian Minister at Washington.
During his slay among us Mr. Carter
has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. P. ('.
Jones, who on the evening of the 23rd
gave a reception to the Minister which
was largely attended. On this occasion the
Hon. (has. R. Bisnoi», in behall of tinChamber of Commerce, presented Mr.
Carter a substantial gift in silver whose
value Is $1000. Mr. Bishop, in the remarks which accompanied the gift, said
that the Minister was held in highest
esteem by the business men of Honolulu
and of the Islands and that they should
ever appreciate the Minister's labors at
Washington for the promotion of Hawaiian interests. Minister Carter responded, saying tiiat lie greatly valued
the esteem of the business men and the
people of these islands and that during
his further stay at the American capital
as Hawaii's representative lie would do
whatever was in his power for the advancement of the material interests of
the Hawaiian Kingdom and people.
It is perhaps needless to add, Unit
every day of his stay among us Mr Tauter has been entertained in official and
social circles, all classes taking delight in
doing him honor. And we cannot refrain from adding, because it has afforded us genuine pleasure, that the Minister
was seen not only in the social gatherings but that his presence grew familiar
to us at the services of the sanctuary and
in our weekly prayer and prai.-e meetings, it was refreshing and helpful to
have this man, of exalted ohVial position and distinguished experience at the
Courts of Europe, mingle with the multitude in the worship of God. We have
found in him not alone the educated intellect, the charming conversationalist,
the cultured man of the world, but also
the humble, devout christian. To observe and to come in contact with so
rounded, complete and uplifting a character has contirmed our conceptions of
the possibilities of manhood. And now

OUR SUMMER OUTING.
The editor of this department was kindly
invited to spend his vacation with the
senior editor of The Friend and his family, ou the gentle slopes of Huleakala. On
tho afternoon of Aug. 10th, we solemnly
stepped ou board the steamer Likeleke,
with unpleasant forebodings which were
all painfully realized before we arrived at
Kahului, next morning. As wo landed
tho -'big hill" before us looked quite unlike the hiijh mountain we had expected
to see; but. instead of starting off for a
walk to the summit that day. wo were persuaded to geti nto one of the littlo railroad
ears and ride over to Paia. seven miles.
From here three miles by carriage road
brought us to Grove Kanch, where we received n hearty welcome and spent the
night. In the morning, mounted on horseback we started upward, and reached Olinda
in tho afternoon. This unique spot,—one
of nature's rarest gems, 4,000 feet above
the sea, was to be our dwelling place for
the next month. Th" party named on the
hist page of The Friend for August, with
a few additions, were all on the ground,
they having preceded us, and a happy,
joyous company it was, notwithstanding
the "restraining influence" of the senior
editor.
A few days later we continued our upjourney, and after riding nine miles
one afternoon, with a party of sixteen, we

the valley scene, 10,000 feet below, we con

undertake!! on foot the day of our arrival
As wo turned our eyes in the onp' .;, vi
rection, we looked down 2,000 teet into the
crater of the largest extinct volcano in the
world. The morning view richly repaid
for all the discomfort of the night. Tho
opening day was perfect; tho cloud effects
and the golden glories of the rising sun
constituted a scene of indescribable beauty
and grandeur never to be forgotten. After
feasting our bodies on the substantial, and
our eyes on the sublime, we returned in
safety to Olinda.
We made many very pleasant acqeaintances among the good people on Maui, for
whose kindness and hospitality we shall
always feel grateful.
It seemed a little primitive to ride five
miles on horseback down the mountain to
attend church, but this we did each Sun
day, and rather enjoyed it.
While we climbed the mountain, explored the gulches, indulged in eating
fresh figs, genuine old fashioned black
berries and lots of other good things, the
time passed all too quickly by, and the
month was gonealmost before we knew it.
But we return to take up our work in the
Master's name, with renewed vigor and
strength, as the result of one of the most
pleasant and helpful vacations we have
