We had hoped in this number to give
in full the five addresses made at the
services of Recognition and Installation
of the Central Union Church. Lack of
space forbids this, but we are glad to
say that they will be incorporated in a
pamphlet, shortly to be issued, containing the other related matters of interest.
We feel no need of apologizing for
again dividing the admirable resume of
temperance history in Hawaii by Mrs.
Whitney. We cannot afford to expend
so much rich matter on our readers all
in one banquet. It admirably helps
to maintain the well-earned reputation
of The Friend as a repository of Hawaiian and Pacific historical matter.
THE AMERICAN BOARD AT
SPRINGFIELD.
The majority of our readers are probably acquainted with the painful controversy which rendered the annual
meeting of the A. B. C. F. M. at
Springfield, Massachusetts, a season
of very trying contention, instead, as
heretofore, one of happy fellowship and
enthusiastic kindling of missionary purpose. We do not mean here even-to
name the subject of disagreement, nor
to indicate to which side we may chance
to lean as to the issue before the Board.
It was a new phase of the ever recurring
controversies between that necessary
and most serviceable party in the Church
of Christ who are conservative and who
earnestly withstand changes that are
possibly pernicious heresies, and that
other not less important party whoeagerly adopt what seems to be new and important light from God's word, but who
may be too incautious in their zeal for
progress. To borrow from Evolution,
persistence of type and variation of form
are both indispensable to desirable results. The Church can dispense with
neither the Conservative nor the Progressive, although the one may some-
times be too peremptory, and the other
too headstrong. In the difficulty which
now so painfully occupies the minds of
the Congregational Churches and of the
Prudential Committee, it seems clear to
us, after reading much that has been
said on all sides of the question, that
both parties are equally in earnest to
be guided by the Holy Scriptures,
and -are equally loyal to the Lord
Jesus Christ, and the work of his kingdom. Why so large and devout and
highly cultured and able a body of Christian men have in God's Providence been
permitted to get into so active a variance
with one another, is not easy now to
discern; but we do not doubt that like
many other apparent evils this one will
ultimate in great good to Christ's Church,
and to the cause of the Evangelization
of the world.
One possible good suggests itself. No
intelligent Christian is ignorant that the
Evangelical churches of America have
for more than a generation been almost
insensibly drifting in the direction of
materially discrediting the old severe
doctrines of the fathers as to the future
condition of sinful men, even as their
sister churches in England and Europe
are far gone over. Where do we now
hear the old positions boldly and freely
taken in our pulpits? Now it may be
that the time has come when our
churches are to know their own minds,
and settle what they do or do not believe on these grave questions, and what
their ministers shall preach, and not be
silent upon { Certainly the existing contest in the Board is giving a resistless
impulse to a thorough discussion of
these questions, and is awakening a
spirit of most earnest inquiry in a great
multitude of Christian minds which have
hitherto evaded taking issue upon them.
Indeed, it looks as if our Evangelical
churches had entered upon a period of
sharp contention on these great topics,
in which they will need the highest
degree of brotherly love and forbearance.
1887.

Another possible benefit has suggested
itself, although we may be thought rash
and even divisive and harmful to name
such a thing. May not the time have
come when the enlargement of the missions needs not only more money and
more men, but when, also, more directing
agencies are needed? Is a division of
the missionary activity of the zealous
and wealthy Congregational churches
into direction by two Boards instead of
only one a thing to be dreaded as an
evil? There are said to be thousands of
young students of both sexes pledging
themselves to the foreign work among
the heathen. It seems evident that a
rapid expansion of missionary agencies
is at hand, commensurate possibly with
the enormous expansion of openings to
reach the heathen tribes of Africa and
India, and the "ungospelled" provinces
of China. Perhaps more Boards arc
needed to provide for all these workers.
And it may be that in answering the
many prayers of His people to "send
forth laborers" the Lord of the harvest
is now just decentralizing and pulling
apart his people a little, in order to compel them to multiply agencies, and not
continue to work everything through one
organization, which may become cumbrous and overgrown. Division and
separation is often the best thing—it is
almost the law o£rgrowth and expansion. When we cover a lawn with
grass, we divide the sods and set them
apart. The gardener cuts his choice
plants into bits in order to multiply
them. Centralization is more to be
feared than division and independence.
We feel like saying, dear and honored
American Board, and beloved Congregational churches of America, do not be
afraid to divide, if you are at all out of
accord —separate your agencies by all
means. You of the grand old Board,
go on; increase your contributions, and
push your work. You who are unhappy because your noble devoted young
men cannot pass the doctrinal tests imposed, send them out yourselves—it is a
simple matter of business in the light of
gathered experience. Prove what we
are sure is true, that the new phase of
doctrine has by no means "cut the nerve

of missions." For ourselves, there is
nothing we should like better than to
see a splendid young Board at once set
to work and sending out its men and
women into the great harvest, with a
strong and liberal constituency. How
emulous the two Boards would be each
to do the most and best work for the
Lord and King. Would not this be a
grand competition that would double
and treble the missionary activity of the
churches!
THE CENTRAL UNION CHURCH
ORGANIZED.
The proposed union of the Fort Street
and Bethel Union Churches was carried
into effect on the evening of November
13th, at services- in the Fort Street edifice, when the separate memberships of
the two Churches formally entered into
mutual covenant, and constituted the
new organization under the name of the
Central Union Church of Honolulu.
The exercises were as follows:—1.
Preliminary services of worship. 2. Sermon by Key. Dr. Beckwith: "The
Church the Body of Christ." 3. Historical statements by the stated clerks
of the two Churches. 4. Reading of
the two letters dismissing the members
of each Church, and of names of others
uniting by letter and on profession. 5.
Pronouncing in concert of the Articles
of Faith and of the Covenant of the new
Church by the whole membership standing. 6. The Moderator declares the
Central Union Church of Honolulu to
be now validly constituted by the solemn
covenant of its members. 7. Prayer led
by Rev. W. B. Oleson. 8. Doxology.
9. Benediction by Rev. H. Bingham.
On this great occasion the house was
thoroughly filled, the membership present and joining in the exercises, being
probably over three hundred. These
all seemed to deeply feel it to be a
sacred, solemn and joyful act, when
covenant with each Other and the Great
Head was entered into with united voices.
May we not confidently trust, that in
accordance with our Lord's promise,
what was at that moment bound on
earth was also bound in heaven that
the obligations and privileges then assumed received the Divine sanction and
blessing ?
On Sunday, the 20th, the new Church
united in the morning in the Lord's
Supper. At 2:30 P. m. a council convened, composed of pastors and delegates, as follows :
Hilo Foreign Church—Rev. E. P.
Baker, pastor; H. Deacon, delegate.

proceeded to inspect the different buildings. First was the kitchen, with its

with the latest improvements. This
large kitchen-building is constructed tntirelv of hewn stone. The door and
window casings are of highly-finished

which cover the extensive grounds so
abundantly. It seems to be an excellent
material. Mr. Oleson states that his
Portuguese stone-dressers produce the

be supplied. Why is it not the best
material for the main building, yet to be
erected ?
The site of the proposed main building is at the highest part of the grounds
at the curve of the noble roadway, and

stories. Next comes the large dining
hall, now used for school-rooms, and
supplied with the latest educational furnishings ; and still beyond is a third
dormitory in process of erection. These
four buildings face toward the sea,
standing along the inland side of the

The three dormitories are all on the
same plan,, and contain each twentyfour rooms 8 by 12 feet in dimensions, designed for occupation each byone scholar.
The furniture consists of table, chair, bed
and wardrobe shelves. We should have
thought such accommodation very good

as in terracing, and in the extensive and
handsome stone fences around the
grounds. There seems to be no immediate cause to apprehend a failure in the
supply of material. Wonders have
already been wrought in the improvement ot the grounds, and these promiseto become one of the most lovely of
all our beautiful suburbs.
A special entertainment was provided
for the company til what to ourselves
was an entire novelty —the hammer
drill at the carpenter shop. Some
fifteen lads stood at work-benches, each
armed with a good hammer. Exercises
were first gone through in concert, in
blows upon wood by motion first of the
wrist, then from the elbow, and lastly
from the shoulder. Then each one in
succession struck his hammer into a
piece of soft redwood four times in turn.
Each one's wood showed four round indentations ofa uniform and ev< n depth.
Several of the visitors attempted to produce a like result, but in every case
made an indentation deeper-on one side
than the other. The boys had been in
school only four weeks, and had every
one become competent to deliver with
precision and perfect economy of force
any required blow with a hammer, and
to that extent had become good carpenters. What was the nature of the drill
or practice with saw. plane, chisel and
other tools we did n. t learn, but have
no doubt that it will be efficient.
We need not say how wholesome an
education such training is in its effects
on mind and character, as well as upon
hand and eye and muscle. It is evident
that Mrs. Bishop's great bequest is
being nobly employed, and that Hawaiian youth are to enjoy high and
peculiar advantages in being qualified
and furnished for useful and productive
lives. That their moral and religious
education will also be efficiently cared
for needs no better guaranty than the
character of the Trustees, and the
earnest and able Christian energy ofthe
Principal.
We congratulate the Churches and
the nation upon the opening of a school
of this high character. A bright and
noble prospect of usefulness is before it.

TEMPERANCE IN HAMAKUA.
Editor Friend: —In this district of
Hamakua is the home of the man who
publicly styled himself the "father and
mother of the opium and liquor laws."
He expected that on September 12th his
friends would elect him to office. We
all know of his great defeat.
In this very district a quiet but
earnest temperance work has been going on for several months. At Kukuihaele, on June 16th, Miss Green spoke
in the native church, and ten or more
took the blue ribbon.
At same place. September 18th, Mr.
Gribbles, Judge Miau, from Honokaa,
R. A. Lyman, from Paauhau, and others
spoke. Ten signed the pledge.
October 30th, same place, a rousing
meeting was held, Judge Miau, R. A.
Lyman, Kaekeoahiwi, Rev. J. Goodell
and others made remarks. There were
earnest words and some stirring music,
Miss M. A. Kirk singing very effectively
several songs. Mr. R. A. Lyman did
excellent work by the rapidity and ease
with which he interpreted the speeches.
Postmaster Homer and his good wife
are active workers, Mrs. Homer being
an officii of the Blue Ribbon League.
As a result, thirty-five signed the pledge.
Another meeting was held November
20th, and more names added. R. A.
Lyman. Mr. Lightfoot, Mr. Blight from
Waimea, J. Goodell and others spoke.
The same day Messrs. Lyman and
Goodell held a meeting at Waipio, and
more names were put on the roll.
Similar gatherings have been held at
other places in the district.
The conscience of the people is being
roused to the importance ot the temperance work. Foreigners and natives are
taking the pledge, and the public sentiment is, "The sale of opium and liquor
must be stopped." Men working on the
plantations are asking that no more
liquor be sold. "Prohibit it, prohibit it."
In Kukuihaele the Blue Ribbon has
scored a triumph. Through its influence
one man. who sold liquor, has stopped
its sale, and joined the Blue Ribbon.
The other, and harder case to deal with,
was that of a man selling without a
license. But, through his own "tricks
that were vain," he has just been arrested and fined. Thus Hamakua is

work!
It is true, here and there are a few
men who want to give the license to the
liquor men. They say :" It lias always
been sold ; therefore it cannot be stopped,
and it would be a source of revenue to the
Government." The most absurd proposition is, to grant licenses in all country
towns, and then when a man gets drunk
fine him heavily! " Benevolem c with
a vengeance," some one says. But the
great defeat of the " father of the liquor
law " by the people of this district, and
the springing into active life ofthe temperance work, proves that Hamakua
wants no license within her borders.
We do not believe that any Government
has a right to exist which supports itself
by money gained through the degradation of its people.
A good sign of the times is the increasing interest in religious matters
shown by the Hawaiians. A native Y.
M. C. A. exists here, and meetings are
held Sabbath afternoons. We have
organized a singing-class, to meet once
a week—free to all who may choose to
come. The Sabbath School meets regularly, and there is a fair attendance.
There is always preaching when anyone can speak, although there is nonative pastor in the district.

islands united their influence to the same
object. This object was, at length, so
far accomplished at least as to free the
Government almost entirely from the
responsibility of the traffic.
About this time the following law was
proclaimed—one of the earliest published laws of the kingdom
"A law respecting drunkenness, established in the year of Our Lord, 1835:
"1. We prohibit drunkenness. Whoever drinks spirituous liquors and becomes intoxicated and goes through the
streets riotously, abusing those who may
fall in his way, he is guilty by this law.
He shall pay six dollars in money, or
in other property of the same value,
and for want thereof shall be whipped
twenty-four lashes, or be condemned to
labor one month, or be imprisoned one
month.
" 2. If the intoxicated person breaks
down a fence, he shall pay one dollarfor
each fathom, be the same more or less.
And if the offender does not make redress according to this enactment he
shall rebuild the fence which he has
broken down. But if the breach in a
fence or in a house be small, the fine
likewise shall be small; and if the aggressor refuses to pay it he shall be imprisoned one month, and then liberated.
This is the punishment for damaging a
fence or a house.
" 3. When the individual who damages a fence or a house pays the amount
forfeited by his crime to the owner, he,
the owner, shall pay to the judge one
fourth of ever}' dollar which the fence
breaker or the house breaker shall pay.
Kamehameha 111.

In March, 1838, the first license law
was enacted, which jirohibited all selling
of liquors without a license under a fine
of fifty dollars for the first offense, to be
increased by the addition of fifty dollars
for every repetition of the offense.
All houses for the sale of liquor were
to be closed at ten o'clock at night, and
from .Saturday night till Monday morning. Drunkenness was prohibited in
the licensed houses under a heavy fine
to the drinker, and the loss of his license
to the seller.
In 1840 the following law, prohibiting
the manufacture and use of intoxicating
dunks was enacted, and signed by
Kamehameha 111.

HAWAIIAN KOAED.
H. 1.
We have, then, here a large and important field for missionary effort. It
may be interesting for the readers of
this article to take a map and see from
just what part ofthe Land ofthe Rising Sun " these immigrants come to us.
It will be found that Japan is divided
into some thirty-eight different departments.
The Japanese who are nowhere in Hawaii-nei represent many different sections of the country—some
coming from as far north as Niigata,
where there is a mission station of the
American Hoard ; others are from Tokio
and Yokohama; but the very large majority come from the South, from the
two Kens, or departments, called Heroshima and Yamagnchi, on the great
island of Hondo. This portion of the
umpire lies along the so-called Inland
Sea, whose exquisite natural beauty is
the delight of both the Japanese and of
travelers who are privileged to visit this
Here on the
most charming region.
mainland and on the many picturesque
islands which stud this famous sea, the
quiet farming and fisher folk have lived
their busy and simple life, until the prospect of larger prosperity in our part of the
world led them to emigrate hither. It
is almost as if a section of the rural life
of Japan had been magically transported
across the ocean. These people have
come but very little, if at all, in contact
with foreigners; up to the present time
there has been but comparatively little
missionary effort in their part of Japan,
if I am correctly informed. Hence we
have a large number of this most interesting people who are to receive their first
impressions of Occidental life, customs
and manners, and, most important of
all, the first presentation of Christianity
from us. Are we ready and willing to
meet this new responsibility ?
Our first visit in this trip was to Hilo
and the neighborhood. Here we found
the Japanese Inspector and Doctor of
very great assistance. They entered
most heartily into all Mr. Miyama's
plans for visiting among their countrymen on the different plantations, and
were eager and enthusiastic in their aid
at all times. A large and successful
social gathering was held at the Court
House, which was decorated with Hawaiian and Japanse flags and tropical
foliage and flowers from the beautiful
gardens of Hilo. Each guest wore a
minature Japanese flag with a fern spray.
On the Sabbath an interesting service
was held at the Haiti Church, where the
Gospel was earnestly preached. Later,
other meetings were held on different
plantations.
Before leaving Hilo, it was arranged
that a Japanese Sabbath School should
be started. Mr. J. A. Martin kindly
consented to lake charge of the same,
and I have been pleased to hear from
him since my return to Honolulu that it
has been well attended! The trustees
of the Haili Church kindly loaned a
school-room for the use ofthe Japanese,

AMONG THE JAPANESE ON
HAWAII AND MAUI.
I Frank W. Damon.!
A recent visit to Hawaii and Maui, in
company with the Rev. K. Myama, of
the Japanese Mission in San Francisco,
California, enabled me to see something
of our Japanese friends on those islands,
and afforded me an opportunity of prosecuting m.y work among the Chinese. As
I may at some other time refer more
especially to the present state of the
mission work among this latter nationality, I would like to say a few words in
regard to the very favorable impression
which my companion made upon his
countrymen in his earnest efforts to
bring to them some knowledge of the
religion of Jesus Christ, trusting this
will be of interest to the readers of the
Friend. All those who rejoice in the
advance of the Redeemer's kingdom
have reason to be grateful that Mr.
Mivama was moved to pay our islands
a visit, and to engage in evangelistic
efforts here. He is Assistant Superintendent ofthe Methodist Episcopal Mission to the Japanese in California where
his labors have been greatly blessed.
Horn in Japan just before the new era of
progress dawned upon that empire, his
early years were spent amid the stirring
and inspiring scenes of that most remarkable and eventful period. In his
early manhood, led by that desire for
knowledge, which is so striking a characteristic of his countrymen, be decided
to visit the United States. Fortunately
he found in the mission school of the
Methodist Church in San Francisco
warm and loving friends, and in time
was led to accept of Christianity. With
him this has been no mere intellectual
concession to a superior religious system, but a whole-hearted and enthusiastic allegiance to a personal Savior
whose praises he delights to sing, and
whose name he counts it the highest
privilege to proclaim to his countrymen.
Under the guidance of that devoted and
valiant friend and champion of both the
Chinese and Japanese, Key. Dr. Otis
Gibson, he studied theology, and in due
time was admitted to the ministry. I
have alluded thus in detail to the history
of this friend, because in the instruction
of Christian work among the Japanese
on these islands, his visit among us has
been of the greatest value, and he has
helped to lay a foundation here on which
There
a great work may yet be reared.
are at the present time scattered over

mostly engaged as laborers on our plantations. A large additional number are
expected to arrive within a few days.
"

and a large sign in English and Japanese now announces to the passer-by that
there is a "Japanese Sunday School."
In Kohala a week was spent, religious
meetings being held nearly every evening with the Japanese on the different
plantations, and on the Sabbath in the
Chinese Church at Kaiopihi. As the
birthday of the Emperor of Japan
chanced to come during our visit in this
district, an entertainment was given, to
which a number of the foreign residents,
with some Hawaiian friends and all the
Japanese were invited. We were the
guests of the Japanese Doctor and two
other friends. Everything passed off in
the most delightful manner. After the
feast was over the Japanese present
asked Mr. Mivama for a further address
on the subject of religion.
It was an
extremely interesting scene, the attentive, earnest audience drinking in the
words of the speaker and the eloquent,
consecrated young apostle of the new
faith, urging his countrymen to walk in
this better way.
Later, of their own accord, they contributed over fifty dollars towards defraying his traveling expenses while traveling over the islands. Rev. Mr. O.strom
and family, with true missionary spirit,
have started a Sabbath service for the
Japanese. May God bless their labors.
On Maui interesting visits were made
among the Japanese at YVailuku, Paia,
Spreckelsville, Hamakuapoko, and LaIn Wailuku a Sabbath School
haina.
was started under the superintendence
of Rev. Mr. Bissell, and a night-school
has been undertaken by Mrs. Yerrex.
At Hamakuapoko the Japanese have
been invited to have a share in the interesting Sabbath School of which Mrs.
Hall has charge. Since his return from
Maui, Mr. Miyama has been busy in
Honolulu. He has now gone to Kauai
for a visit of two weeks among his
countrymen. Before Christmas he «x-pects to leave for San Francisco to
resume his work there. His visit here
has been most stimulating and helpful,
and we shall have reason long to remember him and his efforts here with
gratitude and love.
In our already complex and polyglot
missionary field, a new branch of work
now presents itself—one full of most inviting possibilities and splendid promise.
Let us wisely and prayerfully and enthusiastically set ourselves to meet this
opportunity of advancing the interests
of the Redeemer's kingdom. In long
ago days Japanese junks, borne on the
great ocean current of the North Pacific,
drifted to our shores ; and here weary
and wave-tossed exiles from that mysterious and unknown empire found help
and succor. Now carried on the greater
tide of God's Providence thousands of
this nationality come among us. While
they seek material gain and prosperity,
let us be faithful in bringing to them
knowledge of the Savior of the world
and the riches of His love.

"Master, if you don't take any I shall
go. Good-bye." But at the moment
of his leaving the master appeared
again and said that he would buy what
he wanted. The hawker was, of course,
confused by this offer, but endeavored to
conceal his amazement, saying that he
would not come down even a cent. The
master said, "Oh no, I will take all you
have at your own figure." The hawker
was thunderstruck by this proposal, and
stood a moment like a statue. Gazing
calmly on his pale face, the master
gently said, " My dear friend, you had
better first take out the basin from your
basket." This generous expression even
more terrified him, and made him fall
down at the feet of the master, as if he
were suddenly knocked down by a fearful blow. He then begged his mercy
for the crime he had just committed on
account of his extreme poverty, and returned him the basin which he had concealed in the basket. Without saying
anything about the theft, the master fulfilled his offer to buy all the vegetables,
and besides gave the hawker the basin,
with the explanation that he did not intend to give it for relieving his poverty,
but for washing and cleansing his dirty
mind with it. This admirable illustration never failed to show the poor fellow
what he had to do with this most handsome present he had ever received.
About a year after, he again appeared
to this virtuous gentleman in a better
condition than before, and returned him
the basin with which he had improved
his character as well as bis condition.
One of the Sunday School Boys.
A JAPANESE HAWKER.
At the literary and social meeting of
the Japanese Y. M. C. A.on the third
Saturday of last month, one of the
pleasant incidents was reading a newspaper (written, not printed), giving items
of news, advertisements, correspondence, etc. One of the contributed articles in this jfapancsc Times is of such
interest that its publication has been requested in these columns.
In the lecture given by Mrs. Coleman
at the Sunday School respecting the life
of Christ, she explained that Baptism
owes its origin to the washing of the
body of those who attended to hear the
preaching of John, and that the people
of Israel were noted for giving illustrations in expressing their ideas, so that
the act of washing their body was given
as an illustration of cleansing their mind
in order to prepare for the reception of
the coming Messiah.
This reminds me of an interesting
story on moral improvement in Japanese, which singularly corresponds with
the above illustration, and will show
that Japanese are not less remarkable
for the use of illustrations than the old
ITEMS.

them to the meeting, ask them to sign

Mr. T. H. Davies was one of ttle passengers for Honolulu by the Zealandia
on November 26th. It seemed good to
again see his pleasant face and hear his
earnest words in our Gospel meeting in
the hall last Sunday evening. He expects to remain in the city about four
months.
There is a noticeable absence of the
blue ribbon badge so universally worn
by the friends of temperance a few
months ago. If it was a good thing to
wear the "bit of blue" then, it is the
right thing to wear it now. Surely this
is no time to hide our colors or slacken
our .efforts to help and encourage our
weaker brother.
The latest, but not least, publishing
enterprise is that of the Japanese
Times, from which the first article on
this page is copied. It is a four-page
paper, entirely written, and to be published monthly by the Japanese Y. M.
C. A. The first number is a very interesting and creditable piece of literary
work.
OUR NEIGHBORS.
The Seventh Annual State Convention
ofthe Young Men's Christian Associations of California convened in Woodland, October 12th to 16th. It is said
to have been the best ever held in the
State (a claim made for every former
one we believe). This certainly indicates progress, and should be literally
true each year, as a legitimate result of
enlarged work and added workers. A
good list of live practical topics were discussed with spirit and profit. There were
present 162 delegates, 24 ofthe number
being from College Associations. In
1882 there were only two associations in
California: now there are thirty-two,
efeven of which aie in colleges. The
sum of 53,000 was raised for state work.
Mr. C. S. Mason, formerly General
Secretary of this Association, was reelected State Secretary, and Mr. J. S.
Voorhees was elected Associate Secretary. A generous donation to the State
fund was made on behalf of the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. by Mr. J. B. Atherton
of this city, who was present.
TOPICS.
A Gospel Praise Service is h«ld in the

THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE WORLD.
(Inserted by Request ]
Hlessings on the hand of Woman!
Angels guard its strength and grace,
In the palace, cottage, hovel,
O, no matter where the place!
Would that never storms assailed it;
Rainbows ever gently curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Infancy's the tender fountain.
Power may with beauty flow:
Mothers first to guide the streamlets;
From them souls unresting grow.
Grow on for good or evd,
Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman, how divine your mission!
Here upon our natal sod!
Keep, O keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
All true trophies of the ages
Are from mother's I.ove impelled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Blessings on the hand of Woman!
lathers, sons and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky;
Mingles where no tempest darkens.
Rainbows evermore are curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
OPIUM LICENSING.
There appears to be the strongest
probability that the coming Legislature
will repeal the law to license the sale of
opium in this country, and that this very
pernicious traffic will again be prohibited.
The Planter's Association, for one, have
unanimously and emphatically demanded the repeal of the law. This body represents the capital and the industrial
interests of this country. They undoubtedly also represent the average
public opinion upon this question. They
have been governed in this action not
by moral or sentimental, but by busi-
ness considerations —by the question,
what is necessary for the prosperity of
the industrial and business interests of
the country. The rapidly increasing use
of opium among the laborers incapacitates many of them for their daily work,
makes them unreliable, indolent, thievish and destitute, as well as sickly and
wretched in body and mind. Plantations,
mills, railroads, vessels, ranches cannot
be prosperously carried on with a class
of workers so demoralized and suffering.
No doubt the Legislature will heed this
unanimous demand from the employers
of labor to remove the cause of so much
evil.
We do not forget, and our intelligent
leaders will not forget that the present
opium license law was enacted against
the fully expressed opinion of the people.
It was enacted by a very corrupt and
servile Legislature, against their own
strongest convictions, in slavish compliance with the command of one man, who
had in view an unlawful profit for himstamps this wicked
of
as
an
special execration,
law
object
and will make the promptest repeal of it
a cause of the greatest satisfaction to
the people of this kingdom, to whom its
enactment was a peculiar insult. This
strong public feeling is enhanced by the
colossal bribery scandal which attended
the operation of the law, and which has
just resulted in the death ofthe unhappy
Aki, who was the victim of the great
swindle. We do not doubt that ever)
member of our new Legislature is in full
sympathy with this general feeling of
the public mind, and that they will
promtly take such action as is wise and
expedient. We shall all breathe with
more comfort, we shall all feel a weight
of shame lifted off, when these wrong
things are set right.
While as a business convention the
Planters are supposed to be governed by
business considerations, we know that
very many if not all of them are sensible
of the force of the moral considerations
involved. And we are sure that our Legislators will strongly feel the same force.
We thankfully remember that men are

ii.
not always as bad-hearted as their arguments seem to imply, when they contend
that the State should make the poisonous opium traffic a source of revenue,
since it is impossible to suppress it. The
same reasoning would make it the duty
of Government to make a revenue from
licensing houses of ill-fame, because it
is impracticable to suppress prostitution.
Gambling dens should be licensed so as
to contribute a handsome revenue to the
government, because it is impossible to
prevent a vast amount of gambling.
The answer applying to all these cases
is twofold; first, it is dishonorable to
government to profit by the degradation
and misery of the people; secondly, the
licensing of any traffic to be public and
open lessens the shame of indulgence in
the vice licensed, weakens the sense of
criminality, and enhances the various
forms of attraction tempting to the evil
practice. There are, we believe, few
persons professing to be governed by
principles of morality who think that a
government should ever license gambling, prostitution, or opium for the sake
of revenue. If such persons do justify
the licensing of the liquor traffic, they
probably do so upon the ground that a
considerable proportion of mankind continue to hold the moderate use of alcohol a good thing, and that government therefore cannot prohibit it, but
can only regulate it.
It is not impossible—so incredibly
astray are many of the vagaries of human minds—that some persons may
have really persuaded themselves that
opium, in a reasonable and moderate
use of it, may be a harmless and usefully agreeable narcotic, such as tea and
coffee are generally considered to be,
such as tobacco is called by most persons who use it. Now, we firmly believe that no use of tobacco is really
beneficial, and that nearly or quite all
users of the weed would be greatly
benefited by abstaining from it. But we

of one who was driven into poverty and

then think of those acute and terrible
nervous agonies which are so commonly
experienced by the victims of opium,
when the fatal drug is wanting, or when
in the later stages it has become inadequate to stupefy. Consider also the
peculiarly resistless craving which is invariably caused by opium, and which
renders a moderate use of it as impossible to most persons, as a moderate use
of alcohol is to a person of savage race.
Do not these peculiarities of destructive

It may be argued that a civil governschool, nor
a family home, and that it is not its province to provide for the moral elevation
of the people, but for their material welfare and security. Such is the position
taken by those who are always indignant
at laws to repress vice, and to enforce
morality, to which they apply the general term of "blue laws." But what,
then, becomes of the essential fact that
indulgence in vice impairs business
prosperity, and that morality and business integrity cannot long walk far
apart? Drunkenness, licentiousness,
gambling will impoverish and destroy a
state just as surely as they do the individuals of whom the state is composed. Has the state, then, no duty to
suppress these destructive vices, and is

again in turn to retire. Its present condition is one of medium activity, but of
peculiar interest and approachableness.
We found the surface of the sand and
tufa on which we were to be studded
with numerous angular boulders. These
were all of the same very peculiar characters as those foilnd on Monday on the
western upland, but were much larger.
This testified that the point of ejection
was nearest to the southeast side of Kilauea, which we were traversing. The
same conclusion was indicated by the
great extent and depth of these masses
of ashes and gravel, covering several
hundred acres to depths apparently of
hundreds of feet. The great peninsula
we were upon was composed of such
material.
Our course now led upwards along
the southeast bank of Kilauea, to the
small satellite-crater of Ke-ana-ka-koi.
This name means the cavern for chipping adzes. This crater is a deep pit in
the upland, of some 400 feet depth, and
about 1,500 feet diameter at the top, the
sides being somewhat clothed with
vegetation. Fresh lava makes a black
smooth floor on the bottom, no debris
from the sides having fallen upon it.
This lava entered the crater in 1868,
and covered the cave or hole where the
peculiar stone had been found as material for native adzes.
One mile farther ascent of easy grade
brought us to the ohia forest at the east
angle of Kilauea, and the descent to the
depressed plateau connecting Kilauea

or Kilauea the less. Here we encountered a very strange thing. On the side
of the steep slope, about 100 feet below
the high upland, and 400 feet above the
floor of Kilauea, and the present bottom
of Halemaumau, a horizontal fissure
had opened in 1868, and emitted a
tremendous gush of very glassy lava.
This fissure seemed to be 350 feet long.
The lava had flooded clown the pali,
and spread over perhaps a dozen acres
of the wooded plateau, but had not lasted long enough to fairly burn off more
than half of the small ohia trees. These
stood with the lava clinging for three or
four feet up where the first rush had
carried it. Large clots of lava hung in
many of the dead limbs. A little farther
east along the pali and at a lower level,
could be seen another lava flow of some
forty years earlier date. This had
flooded the plateau and poured over its
precipice into Kilauea, where its cascade
is conspicuous.

we are solving. Shall missionary effort

many years, be a failure as scorners say
and as too many Christian people are almost ready to admit; or is there enough
of the grace of God in the hearts of this
native race, to turn aside the temptations
that beset them, and make them arise
in the dignity of a Christian nation before the world ? Whether we wish it or
not, as the result of what has been done

Of all the agencies which Satan ever
devised to enslave the souls of men, and
keep both individuals and nations from
rising into light and liberty, none has
ever been more potent than the love of
strong drink. It blunts the conscience,
it benumbs the intellect, it deadens the
affections, it weakens the will, it destroys
the soul and body together. It is not

Who can tell what sin and suffering
would have been saved, had the public
sentiment of Christendom sustained this
judgment! Trading vessels then in
addition to the useful articles which
these people demanded, such as clothing, hardware, etc., always kept a supply
of rum which the natives were not slow
in learning to use. In this way the
taste for intoxicants was readily introduced into these and other islands.
Mr Turnbull found that some convicts
from Botany Hay had previously escaped
to these Islands, and in return for some
service rendered Kamehameha I, had
been put in possesion of small tracts of
land, upon which they raised sugar-cane,
and from this contrived to distill a sort
of liquor. By this means the king himself acquired a relish for spirits, and navigators who touched at these shores,
at that early day carried on a lively
trade in rum and other liquors. Mr.
Turnbull relates that this taste became
so excessive on the part of the king, that
Young and Davis, white men residing
here became anxious for their own
safety during his periods ofdrunkenness
and made attempts to escape from the
Islands. In one of his timesof sobriety,
the king demanded of them—"what
could induce them to these repeated efforts to leave him, when they were treated so kindly and were daily receiving
from him whatever he had to bestow."
"That is true," they replied, "but our
lives become endangered as often as you
are inflamed with spirits. You are then
no longer master of yourself." Kamehameha accepted the reproof, and promised that thenceforth he would limit
himself to a moderate quantity, which
promise, it is said, he kept to his death.
His subjects, also acquired a taste for
the poison, but during the lifetime of
this despot, drunknness was always restrained. Not long before his death he

Kamehameha 11, though ardently fond
of liquor, was until his accession to the
throne, held in complete restraint by
this powerful will.
But upon the death of Kamehameha
I. in 1819, all restraint was thrown
aside. In a state of intoxication Kamehameha 11. broke the tabu, (which
till then had been rigorously enforced),
by eating dog's flesh with the women,
drinking rum with the female chiefs,
and smoking with them from the same
pipes. Seeing that no evil effects followed at once, the people shouted
"The tabu is broken ! " Messengers
were sent to all parts of the kingdom,
and the chiefs and common people abandoned themselves to drunkenness and
all kinds of excess.

must be our own works and deservings.
Here, then, we make our chief contrast.
Our own Holy Bible, our own sacred
book of the East, is from beginning to
end a protest against this doctrine. Good
works are indeed enjoined upon us in
that sacred book of the East far more
strongly than in any other sacred book
of the East; but they are only the outcome of a grateful heart —they are only
a thank-offering, the fruits of our faith.
They are never the ransom-money of the
true disciples of Christ. "Put off the
pride of self-righteousness," says our
Holy Bible; "it is a filthy garment, unfit
to cover the nakedness of your soul at
that awful moment when death brings
you face to face with the holy God."
"Put on the garment of self-righteousness," says every other sacred book of
the East. "Cling closely to it. Hold it
closely to your heart of hearts. Multiply
your prayers, your pious acts, your pilgrimages, your ceremonies, your external rights on all hands, for nothing else
but your own meritorious acts, accumulated like capital at a bank, can save you
from eternal ruin." We can understand
then the hold which these .so-called sacred books of the East continue to exert
on the natives of India, for the pride of
self-righteousness is very dear to the
human heart. It is like a tight-fitting
inner garment, the first to be put on, the
last to be put off. Nay, this may also
account for the fact that in the present
day these so-called sacred books of the
East are gaining many admirers who fall
into raptures over the moral precepts,
which here and there glitter in them,
like a few stars sparkling through the rifts
of a cloudy sky on a pitch-dark night.—

THE JAPANESE Y. M. C. A.
We reprint the following excellent report from one of our daily papers, the
Daily Bulletin, October 14, 1887.
The Reading Room in Queen Emma
Hall was filled with a large and interested audience of Japanese last evening.
The long table had been removed, chairs
arranged, walls decorated with palms
and ferns and Japanese emblems, while
from the rear room the bubbling of the
tea urn, and the fragrance of steaming
coffee, made it evident that our Japanese
friends believe in physical comfort as
well as moral improvement. A few of
our Christian workers, interested in this
new movement, were present to participate in the exercises of the evening.
After prayer by Dr. Hyde and the reading of the scripture by Rev. T. L.
Gulick, and the singing of one of the
Gospel Hymns, Mrs. F. W. Damon
playing the organ, Mr. Taro Ando, the
Japanese Consul-General made theopening address, speaking first in Japanese
and then in English. He proposed and
answered the two questions, What is the
object of the V.M.C.A.? Why should we
join it ? He spoke of the prejudices
against Christianity that had naturally
taken deep root among the Japanese
when Western adventurers landed on
the Asiatic Coast, followed by priests.
who sought to build up an ecclesiastical
organization inimical to the maintenance
of the independence of the country. But
the recent labors of the missionaries to
Japan had shown what the great object
of Bible Christianity was, the true blessedness of men, for time and for eternity.
He believed that all the Japanese present
wanted to be loved and respected, but
to secure such love and respect they
must be good and learned. To help in
securing this was the object of the Y.
M. C. A., and no one could hesitate to
say it was a laudable object that all
ought to promote by uniting together for
that purpose. Rev. Mr. K. Miyama,
from the M. E. Mission in San Francisco and Mr. Nakayama, th.: Japanese
Commissioner of Imigration tor these
islands, also gave brief addresses in
Japanese which were not interpreted.
Rev. Mr. Gulick and Mr. F. W. Damon,
and Dr. Hyde, spoke in warm approval
of this organization of Japanese for their
own benefit, morally and intellectually.
Mr. J..T. Waterhouse, Jr., on behalf of
the Honolulu V.M.C.A., pledged to the
new organization most cordial sympathy
and all possible assistance. It is not
yet 25 years since this Hawaiian nation
was declared to be Christianized and
ceased to be one of the mission fields of
'
the A. B. C. P. M. Imperfect as are
our Christian institutions they seem to
have made a favorable impression on
the Asiatic immigration to these islands.
Here at this meeting place of the Eastern and Western civilizations, we have
a Chinese Y. M. C. A. and Chinese
Churches. The Japanese seem to be
now falling into line, and adopting of
their own free-will our Christian institutions with such modifications as they
find needful to make them most efficient
for their own national characteristics and
usages. The Japanese Y. M. C. A.
Constitution, drawn up under the supervision of Mr. F. W. Damon, provides
for four Standing Committees for as
many departments, Religious Work,
Educational, Finance, Social and Literary Entertainments. It is proposed to
begin a class for Bible study next Sunday
evening. The Japanese wished the
(Committee to secure some Christian lady
to be the teacher of the Bible class. It
is strange that these Orientals should
have such respect for our Christian
women, and desire so strongly the personal influence of consecrated womanhood. Mrs. H. N. Coleman has kindly
consented to take charge of this new and
important field of Christian labor. Fortyeight signed the Constitution of this
Japanese Y. M. C. A. last evening, and
others will soon be added to this number.
given by the Entertainment Committee
on Thursday, Oct. 13th, in our Hall and
was thoroughly enjoyed by a good audience. Mr. Walter Leman of San Francisco had the leading numbers on the
programme and was ably assisted by
some of our best local talent.
Young men, whether strangers or
residents of the city, you are always welcome at the Y. M. C. A. Rooms. The
reading room or the social rooms are for
your use, and quite a variety of parlor
games can be obtained by simply asking
the Janitor or the General Secretary.
Make your appointments, meet your
friend and pass your leisure evenings at
this pleasant and convenient center.
A HANDSOME GIFT.
The fine crayon likeness of Rev. J. A.
Cruzan, recently exhibited in the window
at King Bros, has been purchased by
friends, and presented to the Blue Ribbon
League and the Y. M. C. A. jointly.
The picture was the work of Miss Ada
Nolte. It is 24 by 29 inches in size, and
incased in a heavy gilt frame. It will
hang in our Hall and we trust it may
prove an inspiring presence to those who
meet on successive Saturday evenings,
in the interest of that cause for which
Mr. and Mrs. Cruzan so faithfully labored while here—the cause of Temperance.

We once heard of a Baptist minister
who was very fond of interpreting Bible
histories and parables down to the minutest detail, and a Presbyterian neighbor professed to have been converted to
his plan. "And what passage was it
that opened your eyes, my brother?"
queried the Baptist. "The parable of
the man who went to his neighbour for
bread at midnight," was the Presbyterian's reply. "Yes;" and do you expound it? "The man was an anxious
sinner." "Yes." "The neighbor was
a Christian."
"True." The bread he
desired was saving truth." "Exactly so."
"The bed in which he was found was

RESULTS OF THE ELECTION.
The general election ordered for the
twelfth of September duly took place,
and resulted in the choice by the people
of twenty-four nobles and twenty-four
representatives to constitute the Legislative Assembly. There had been but
little solicitude felt for good order and
peaceable balloting, which were nearly a
certainty. There were no indications
of any moment to the contrary, and as
a fact, no election had been held for
years, where such order and quiet prevailed, where so little liquor was distributed, or where there was such an ab»
sence of unfair means to influence votes,
as a rule, throughout the towns and the
country.
The election resulted in the choice of
the entire Reform ticket in every district,
and in nearly every district by overwhelming majorities, over the antireform or heathenizing party. The only
exception to this statement is a possible
one in the case of Nakaleka of Molokai, who was formerly a partisan of
Gibson, but who is believed to have
changed his views, and was chosen in
the absence of a competitor, being a
popular man. The Legislature will
assemble to find themselves an absolute
unit on the question of supporting the
great political change made by the Revolution, including the leading changes
in the New Constitution.
would control the choice of the twentyfour representatives. No doubt was felt
that the twenty-four nobles would be
chosen for Reform, since they were to
be elected by men holding over $3,000
of property, or enjoying over $600 income, a majority of which class would
be white men, including all skilled
workers and mechanics.
Hut strenuous efforts were made before the election to embitter the natives
against the Reform movement and
against foreigners. At the last election,
a majority of the natives had voted with
the heathenizing party. It was true,
that this had been in consequence of the
most open corruption and intimidation,
and it was well-known that a very large
and influential proportion of the natives
felt keenly and bitterly the need of
reform. Still in the new situation, with
a Revolution conducted wholly by the
whites, much doubt was felt how the
native vote would go. It was in the
highest degree desirable that they
should heartily co-operate in the work
of Reform. It was desirable for the
moral effect upon themselves, that they
should voice themselves distinctly on
the right side. It was extremely important that there should be no race
division upon the question, and no deep
heart burnings as of a victory of whites
over Hawaiians in securing the expected
majority in the Assembly. It was also
important that our friends abroad should
have the Hawaiians' own testimony to
the righteousness of our Revolution.
Tiif. Hawaiian has answered nobly to
the call made upon him, and has well
supported the cause of Reform. There
is no doubt that in as free and just and
earnest an election as was ever held in
any country, a large majority of the
native people have recorded themselves
on that side. They held the great bulk
of the votes for representatives, and doing so, they elected the unbroken Reform ticket. We insist upon, and we
parade this great and unanswerable fact
beas the one silencing and crushing reply

conduct of our Revolution, and
which have even found some place in
such papers as the Christian Union and
the Illustrated Christian Weekly. Not
only the whole white population as a
body have supported it, but also the
majority of the native people, in the
face of many years of efforts to stir up
jealousy and embitter them against their
white friends. All honor to the Christian and civilized principle of the native
Hawaiian.
It may be of interest and use to our
friends abroad to know something
definite as to the personal standing and
social position of the members of the
new Legislature. A study of the list
gives the following results which we believe to be substantially correct. Ofthe
24 nobles only three are of native or
mixed blood, 12 American, 6 English,
and 3 German. Seven ofthe Americans
are sons of missionaries born here. As
to occupation, the one pure native is a
pastor of twenty years' service, one is a
teacher, six are in commercial business,
eleven in plantations or grazing, four are
lawyers, and one a manufacturer.
Twelve or more of these are men of
large capital. Twelve of the 24 are active members of Evangelical churches,
and two are German Catholics. Several of the others are members of the
Anglican Church.
Of the 24 Representatives, eleven are
natives and three of mixed blood, seven
are Americans and four English. None
are Catholics; five or more of the whites,
and most or all of the natives are members of Evangelical churches. Three of
the Americans are sons of missionaries.
Two of the natives are old pastors. Of
the whites, two are in commercial, seven
in grazing or plantation business, and
two are lawyers, while nearly all of
them enjoy large incomes. One of the
natives is the leading Hawaiian Editor,
several practice law more or less, and
all are in property and influence leading
men among Hawaiians.
Such a delegation" of gentlemen as
above catalogued of itself proves the
general absence of corrupt or mere partizan influences in the election. It in-
�spires the highest confidence in the
legislation which shall be conducted by
them, and in the Cabinet which they
shall leave in possession of the Government at the close of their coming
session.
We do not expect a perfect conduct
of the government hereafter. We anticipate the constant intrusion of corrupt elements. As a native friend today remarked, "Satan will sow tares
among this wheat."
Vigilant and
earnest care to prevent this behoves
every good man within and without the
Legislature and the Cabinet. Even
while the new assembly are a unit in
support of Reform and of the Constitution, most serious divergences of opinion
are sure to arise even among the most
honest and public-spirited, not only upon questions of public policy, but upon
moral and social reform. Parties will
divide upon different lines from the past,
but there will be parties. It is not in
the province of The Friend to take
sides in general political discussions.
When a public question arises involving
the moral and social well-being of the
people, we hope to have light and courage to say what may usefully contribute
to the public good.
LIBERATION OF REV. E. T.
DOANE.
Our last number reported the imprisonment of Mr. Doane by the Spanish
Governor of Ponape, and his deportation to Manila. Since then full letters
have been received from Mr. Doane,
down to July 24th, when he was at
Manila, where he had been for some
three weeks. "There is the best of evidence that the Governor-General is
heartily ashamed of his officers on Ponape. This head ruler says I shali in a
few days return to Ponape, my rights
secured, that I, Bro. Logan, Dr. Pease,
Brethren Rand, Walkup, we all, and all
lady workers, shall be protected, and
our lands secured to us. This high
functionary is a liberal minded man.
I am to be relanded in Ponape
in a Spanish war vessel.
The United States Consul, Mr. J. S.
Voight, has been a true friend,
has taken up the case con amort,
has presented the case to the
Governor in strong, plain language,
speaking of the arbitrary tyrannical
course of the Governor of Ponape towards me, and tells him plainly the
United States Government will demand
reparation for the wrong done an old
man of sixty-seven, torn from his home,
deported 2000 miles to another city for
trial, imprisoned for three months, not

American, especially a missionary, al- liquor, and returned to ava pounding
though he does not take the highest and planting, and so that evil flowed in
view of missions. I bless the Lord the upon us like a flood, threatening to
clouds are breaking. But as the Consul
says, we shall still find it "hot" enough
in Ponape; Rome will do all she can to
thwart us, crowd us, drive us out. But
if we can only be allowed to stay there,
we can endure the "hot," and keep
things from being a total wreck. Let
us share your prayers. Dear old Ponape
pc is in the fiery furnace; pray that no
sign of fire may pass on her."
Mr. Doane has obtained through the
United States Consul a partial and verbal statement of the charges sent up
from Ponape against him. So far as
ascertained, they were as follows:
"I —Want of respect to the Governor.
2 —Advising natives, as per edict to give
up all guns, for each person to keep one,
not to be wholly disarmed. 3 —Giving
away lands not mine. 4—Exciting
natives to rebellion. 5 Interfering
with the business of traders. 6—Using
handcuffs with which to punish natives.
7 —Being a dangerous man."
Mr. Doane states that the disrespect
consisted in using the word "arbitrary"
in his protest against being deprived of
his land which he had held seven years,
for which protest he was immediately
imprisoned. The third charge relates
to his giving Spain land for the new
city to be built upon. The Governor
had succeeded in getting some of the
former donors of that land to the mission work, to deny ever having signed
the deed. One of the high chiefs, however, continued steadfast in affirming
the genuineness of his signature.
The rest of the charges Mr. Doane
denounces as absolutely unfounded, and
the work mainly of a class of degraded
and hostile white men, who saw an opportunity to rid themselves of a missionary who had lately reclaimed several
of the leading chiefs from vice.
Mr. Doane sends distressing statements of the evil that has fallen upon
their work at Ponape. "You may have
had report of the terrible cyclone that
struck us a while ago, terribly shattering
our work on Ponape. breaking up our
schools, save two; deposing from the
ministry, our good brother, a Malay,
Narcissus; demoralizing the natives,
church members who were weak, especially; taking from Christian chiefs all
power to correct evil in their little
realms; setting liquor to flowing; giving
life to houses of ill fame; bringing the
natives under the complete power ofthe
Governor, working them in gangs for a
week each without pay. The Spanish
reached Ponape March 16, 1887.
The sluice ways of liquor were opened.
For years we had fought this, the making of toddy, pounding of ava, drinking
of foreign liquor, and had made much

swamp us all. So again houses of illfame arose, and were filled with inmates
with astonishing rapidity. So also the
breaking down of all religious rule or
law in- order exercised and set in motion
.by religious chiefs—common natives
laughing with impunity at their chiefs
young men eloping with the wives of
other men, the chiefs powerless to rebuke.
* I did think that when
Spain came in, she would try to rule in
equity, to foster, if not our Protestant
form of religious life, yet the morality,
obedience, temperance, chastity it had
begotten. But she seems determined
that all should be wiped out.
Mr. Doane was well treated upon the
ship. Mrs. Rand and daughter also
went to Manila as passengers, immediately proceeding thence to San Francisco. Mr. Doane pleads that an able
man may at once be sent to their aid at
Ponape, to help continue and save the
work.
—
HOW CIRCUMSCRIBED.
How circumscribed in locality is our
earthly abode! Even with all the aid of
steam, one can traverse but limited
regions of the earth's surface. And
then we are tied down to that surface.
You may climb Chimborazo with
Whymper till your panting lungs fail in
the thin air, or mount with Glaisher in
a balloon till you become insensible in
the cold ether. You have only got as
far from the surface as you could walk
on a level in one hour. Endlessly above
and beyond you stretch away the far
reaches of boundless space, cold, breathless, inaccessible. Those numberless
corridors and vistas of your Father's
material universe are not for you to tread
in this your infancy of being. A feeble
child. He has tied you safely down in
this your cradle.
So, too, is it forbidden you to penetrate
the world beneath your feet. Only the
surface is for you, possibly with extreme
toil a very little below it. On the ocean,
you may send your steel wire down into
mystic depths, and drag up a little ooze,
or even a few of its pulpy habitants.
But there yourself can never dive.
And on the land, men delve for silver or
for coal or salt one or two thousand
feet down, and if the invading water
does not stay their farther burrowing,
the increasing heat forbids it. No more
than this mortal body can ascend into
the cold Heaven above, can it either descend into the fiery Hell beneath. Here
too has your Father in wisdom limited
you, and bid you walk contentedly on
the upper crust of Earth, even though
�45,

below you, guarded by fire, may be incalculable treasures of gold and gems!
One stands on Kilauea's brink, and
sees the bright and fearful surges of
molten glass boil up from beneath, and
follows in thought the liquid column of
fire, down, down, through the thick
rocks, far down till they all are red with
heat, still down the white fire duct till
all the rocks are also white, and yet
down the far depths until all is white
molten fire, a sea, an ocean, a world of
fire from surface to center, fire that has
been gathering there and glowing from
the beginning of the world. And on
that fire world is our home. It is just
beneath our feet. A thin rock crust of
a few miles only divides from it, and
that crust on which we stand rests upon, and is upheld by this molten sea.
So we dwell between these two material immensities, each so close to us,
the one an ocean of fire beneath, the
other the cold, deadly heights above.
We inhabit just this thin stratum between the two, protected from the consuming heat of the one by the thin interposing soil, blanketed from the destroying frost of the other by the equallythin layer of interposing atmosphere.
What a strange home it is when we
think of it, this thin spherical sheet of
space which we inhabit! But it suits
us well. It is enough for our present
bodily needs. Nay, we too commonly
count it enough for our highest aspirations. Men strive in it and rage and
toil for more possession of it, as if this
thin sphere were all the universe, and
there was no boundless glory of Heaven
beyond. Nay, our Father hath only
cradled us here. He means us to outgrow this narrow cradle. He has destined us, if we will take of Him, to ineffable glories of Homes above, and
boundless Realms of range and dominion, to enter upon when we shall have
matured and ripened.
We are very safe here between the
two consuming deaths. How strange a
shelter for God's human children has
He made for us in this thin shell between the fire and the frost! So that
we never even suspect how near to us is
the horror below and the death above,
and when we learn of it through study,
we never need fear lest the frail crust
shall haply part and drop us into the
lava, or the life-holding atmosphere
shall haply float away and leave us to
the death nip of the upper frosts. Our
Father has well eared for all that.
Perils there are, but not of that sort
perils from disease of body and malady
of soul, but from which also we may
find healing and a refuge in the everlasting arms of Divine Love.

Pending their consolidation now in

The Lord's Supper was commemorated
September 24th by a very large assembly of the two churches, a time of sweet

been acted upon and adopted. The

near Little Beggar,' anil walking on
the smooth lava of this canal, easy
access is had to all points around or
upon the cone, barring the smoke and
the risk of fresh lava Hooding treacherously out from almost any point. We
did not try this, but took our fill now
and on three subsequent occasions in
observing Dana Lake.
This was in fine action. At from five
to seven points chiefly on the south and
west sides, a violent ebullition of the
molten matter was going on. Occasionally the thin crust would break in the
center of the pond, with tossing and
flinging of lava. The greatest activity
was mar the southwest angle where
from a sort of cave a furious regurgitation was proceeding, flinging the fiery
spray fifteen feet high, sometimes over
upon the top of the overhang, and
twenty feet out upon the crust, which,
however, was kept pretty well opened
here by the violent surging. It hardly
need be said, that the performance
was a very brilliant one, fairly terrific
with its massive swash and surge, and
furious bursting puffs and pantings.
From the overhang depended heavy
black stalactites fed by the spray. The
crust was thin antl smooth, but occasionally crumpled into exquisite folds
and curlings.
The long walk back, meeting the rain
near the pali, brought us wet and tired
to our haven, where our good host took
our wet clothes and shoes into his hot
drying room, and we refreshed ourselves
at his excellent table. Sunday was
spent in our New England fashion, save
a quiet stroll in the forenoon to the
mighty pit of Kilauea-iki, a mile distant. In the afternoon we regaled ourselves with a delightful Bible lesson on the
�Volume 45, No. 10.]
Beatitudes, in which our venerable chief
showed himself as full of "wisdom and
spiritual understanding" as he was of
scientific discernment.
Several hours of Monday were em-
ployed in a long tramp southeast from
Haleama'uma'u, out from the south
angle of Kilauea upon the gravel waste,
and back along the northwest wall, Mr.
Emerson acting as guide to Professor
and Miss Dana. We found Dana
Lake without material change in its
activity. Moving half a mile westward
across the black floor, Dr. Dana made
some examination of the old basalt of
the western wall of Kilauea. Here the
fresh overflow had nearly buried the old
talus. Some of the black iridescent
glass crusts were of exquisite beauty.
Our course now lay southward into
the edge of the great smoke drift. This
was slightly unpleasant, but not distressing. Less than a mile brought ns
to a steep slope of eonimingled pumice
and sand. The pumice was of a peculiarly soft spongy character. Here
we struggled up an ascent of perhaps
one hundred feet and found ourselves
out upon the open country, which here
was a tract of desolation. The surface
was covered to a very great depth with
deposits of tufa, pumice and gravel with
scattering boulders. In many places
the soft pumice would permit a stick to
be thrust down to an indefinite distance. All these deposits were evidently
the results of one or more terrible explosive eruptions of the volcano. Such
an eruption occurred a century ago,
when Keoua's army was destroyed by
the falling sand. A heavy deposit of
sand and gravel now covers the country
around Kilauea for many miles in every
direction. Massive banks of the same
materials enclose the southern limit of
the caldera.
Mr. Emerson directed attention to a
series of immense straight parallel fissures intersecting this tufa and sand deposit. These fissures bad a southwest
direction stretching on for miles, and
were mostly filled with sand, but occasionally open, with steam issuing from
the depths. The fissures which we saw
had opened in 1868. Mr. Emerson had
visited a large recent fissure which
opened last year, but was now in the
smoke drift, and hardly accessible.
This was steaming actively, and was
probably connected with the course ol
the subterranean escape of the lava at
.the collapse of Halema'uma'u in that
year.
The numerous boulders large and
small which strewed the gravel were of
great variety of material and kept the
Professor's hammer in active use, as indeed it was most of the time, wherever
he went. His sinewy arm seemed untiring. These boulders had formed part
of the matter ejected at the last great
explosion. They had evidently been
torn off from the sides of the great inner
throat of the crater, and so furnished

And besides the grievous wrong thus
on the native races, reproach
has been brought on the name of Christ.
The English missionary who preaches
the Gospel and the English merchant
who brings the fatal temptation are inevitably associated in the minds of the
heathen people, and by many not only
associated, but identified.
It is asserted by travelers of repute
that in many parts of the world the
moral character of the natives gains
more by the preaching of Mahomedanism than by the preaching of the Gospel, for the former tends to make them
sober.
The evils of intemperance in the British islands have, as you are well aware,
long engaged the attention ofthe Church
at home. The report of theLower House
ofConvocation ofthe Province of Canterbury in 1869, and that ofthe Province of
York in 1873, in each of which a large
mass of evidence from every class of society was got together, had a painful effect on the public mind at the time, and
they have served as trustworthy manuals
on the subject ever since.

Our course now lay upward and
homeward, not far from the edge of the
cliffs, to the great Uwekahuna bluff,
from which is an excellent overlook into
Halema'uma'u and the surging Dana
Lake. About half-a-mile below Uwekahuna we observed a point where a pahoehoe flow had issued from the outside
of the top of the crater and run westward. This was not very recent, but as
will be shown, we found three other instances of like strange phenomena, that
is that lava should make its exit from
the lofty outside of a crater, when its
apparently natural and easy exit would
be in the pit just below.
Uwekahuna furnished a convenient
height from which to observe the depression bttween the giant slopes of Maunaloa and the great Kilauea plateau. This
was very marked; there was, however,
a point where the level plateau seemed
to unite with the Maunaloa slope, and
it was difficult to assert that the line of
depression was continued across that
point. Professor Dana seemed quite

The great yacht race between the
British Thistle and the American Volunteer about to come off, stirs us up in a
lively manner. These two boats embody the highest conceptions yet attained by British and American builders
of the elements of speed in sailers of
their class. They are the consummate
evolution of the thought and genius of
the two nations on this subject, incited
to the utmost by the keen contests of
many years. The race promises to be
a close one. All nations are watching
it. Which ever comes off victor, will
have well earned the America Cup.
We, of course, wear the colors of the
Volunteer, and as we are bound, believe
she will beat, and that the cup will stay
on this side of the Atlantic.
Of one thing we are quite confident,
that if either vessel serves grog to its
crew, it will lose the race, and deservedly. But athletes in contest, wholly
avoid the use of alcohol, whether on
land or on the water. The harmfulness
of alcohol is one of the useful lessons
athletic work has taught us.

WORK IN AMERICA.
We are in receipt of a Y. M. C. A.
Year Book for 1886-7, containing reliable information gathered from the reports ofthe Associations sent to the International Committee before the close
ofthe first quarter of the present year.
There has been a most vigorous
growth in nearly all departments of the
Y. M. C. A. work during the last Association year. The following are a few
of the facts learned which we give for
the benefit of our members:
1,064 Associations have sent in reports; 1,176 is the full number in existence in America.
1,001 of these report an aggregate
membership of 154,921.
116 Associations own buildings
valued at $4,822,9.80.
53 have other real estate sufficient to
make the total property in buildings
and other real estate £5,611,239.
310 Associations report 410 Bibleclasses for young men only; 372 of
which have a total average attendance
of 5,068.
698 observed the Day of Prayer for
young men in November, 1886.
158 report special work for boys.
195 report 11,628 situations secured.
623 persons are engaged as paid
officers in the work, and 41 positions
temporarily vacant.
Reports are given from 70 railroad
branches and 10 German branches; 232
College Associations reported, also 24
colored Associations and 13 Indian
Associations.
The reports of religious work being
done by the Associations are good.
These we omit, as they would have to
be given in detail to do justice to the
work. A wise and generous variety in
methods is employed by different Associations, but with the same object in
view—winning young men to the
Saviour.
ADVICE TO YOUNC MEN.
So you have got yourself into trouble,
my son? Gone a little wrong have you ?
Yes; well that means, you know, that
you have gone clear wrong; because
there is only one kind of right and one
kind of wrong; there is no mugwumpery
in morals, my boy. And you've had
such a hard time getting back that it's
made you a little bitter and cynical, and
you think all the world is rather hard
and selfish, and pitiless, and especially
severe on you ! Well, I wouldn't feel
that way at all if I were you. I don't
think I ever did feel that way, and I
know more about it than you do. I've
been further down on the Jericho road
than you. Went down there to let my
beard grow. Great town for toots, from
way back. It's a bad country. Never
heard of but one good woman in Jericho,
and she didn't move in good society.
But, my son, it isn't society's fault that
you got into trouble. You knew what
the Jericho road was before you went
down that way. You knew there was a
curse on the town. You were safe
enough in Jerusalem. Why didn't you
stay there ? Don't feel bitterly toward
all the world because you fell among
thieves and got cleaned out. It is a
kind, good-natured, forgiving old world,
if you give it a chance to be forgiving.
True, it doesn't always look that way to
a fellow in trouble, because then the
fellow is apt to look at the wrong people.
You found on the Jericho road, say, six
or eight thieves—that is, half a dozen
professional and the two amateurs who
passed by on the other side—and only
one Good Samaritan; and naturally it
seemed to you that the leaven of good is
utterly lost in that great mass of rascality and hypocrisy; but, bless you, my
son, in the great, honest living world; in
the world that is trying to do right, and
trying to lead men to better things than
Jericho excursions; in the only world that
really loves and cares for just such
young fellows as you; in the real world
of men and women who deal with the
young man all the more gently when his
smarting wounds are deepest, the one
Good Samaritan outweighs a regiment
of these villains who beat you, and robbed
you, and passed you by on the road to
Jericho. Never mind the priest and the
Levite, my son. They were going down
to Jericho, too, you remember; that's the
kind of priests they were. And one
closing word my son. Unless you are
smarter and stronger than the thieves
down Jericho way—and I guess may be
you are not; very few men are why,
you keep off that road. You stay in
Jerusalem, and you'll have more money
and less headache.—Hob BurdeV.e.
VACATION.
Vacation is over and gone with the
most of us, and work to be done now
invites our strengthened hands and
energies quickened by rest and change.
My vacation of one month was spent
OH Hawaii, most of it in Hilo anil
vicinity. The •'dry spell" that had
terrified the citizens the previous
month, had ceased before I arrived, and
did not reappear in any dangerous
quantity during my stay.
The people were exceedingly cordial
and kind, many of whom I had known
only by name before, I shall now treasure as personal friends and acquaintances.
Of course, the trip must include a visit
to the wonderful Volcano, which, being
my first and at a favorable time, was
thoroughly enjoyed.

PERSONAL.
Mr. H. Waterhouse, one of the Man,
aging Committee of the Hawaiian
Branch, sailed for California on Saturday, September 24th, where he will
meet his wife and come home on the
return trip ofthe Mariposa.
Mr. J. B. Atherton, Chairman of the
Finance Committee, sailed for Oakland,
where he will join his family and remain for a much needed vacation of two
months. He expects to attend the Y.
M. C. A. State Convention of California, which convenes in Woodland,
October I2lh and 16th. Our prayers
are with the Brethren, that they may
have a rich and profitable season.
He that is born but once dies twice.
He that is born twice, shall never die.—
Henry Varley.
Better to have tried and failed than
never to have tried at all. He who
never tries to serve God will certainly
never do it.
Talmage says that "the man who can
and won't sing should be sent to Sing
But some would say that
Sing."
it is the man who can't sing and will sing
who should be sent to Sing Sing.
Boys, why do you care so much fur
what "they say"? Why do you dress
and pose for the admiration of those you
meet in public places or on the street ?
A fellow who travels on his looks has
little capital; better BB such a man that
those who meet you and those who know
you shall respect you. A manly bearing,
a considerate care for others' feelings, a
reverence for those who are older and
better than you—for there are some
are the marks of a man who will be admired E xclia ngc.
It appears that prohibition in lowa
fails to keep up the supply of penitentiary
convicts, and that the contractors of
prison labor at Fort Madison are much
embarrassed thereby. The lowa Register
says of them that "they say they are losing eight thousand dollars a year because the State cannot furnish them with
the number of convicts it contracted to
furnish." And to-day, out of ninetynine counties there are fifty-five which
have not one prisoner in their county
jails. Let the "failure of prohibition"
in lowa be again proclaimed !

SEPTEMBER, 1887.
the gravest moment as well to those who
are concerned for the moral welfare, as to
those who stiive for the material prosperity of this country. The question is
primarily whether we are to have Consti
tuiional and Representative Government,
Of whether we are to revert lo the despotic
and capricious form of Government which
has been ({rowing for six yens to a shameful culmination. This issue, as we all
know, involves the questions of ct onomit:il oi wasteful expenditure,; of financial
credit, or of national ban! rnpt» v: of light
or heavy taxation; of expenditure productive of public improvements, or of a con
tinned absence of improved streets, side
walks, and good roads. So heavy anil
urgent has become the pressure of these
questions of material well being, thai they
whole royal power was actively sapping
and breaking down the fetble honesty and
imperfect probity of the native people,
and through them, of the rest of the population.
Intimately associated with the material and moral evils which go to make up
the great issues of the present struggle between civilisation and barbarism, is the
attendant revival in high quarters, ot
Strictly heathen abominations. We do
not 'arc to nunc than allude to the practice of heathen sacrifices, to son cries, to
deification of royalty, to foul heathen
orgies, and to the immense elaboration of
the unspealcabteness of the hulas. 'These
were the natural concomtl mis of the

used and accepted as antagonistic to

the Palace. This is precisely the issue
before us at this election. It is so great,
so fundamental, and so instantly pressing,
that we would subordinate all other political or personal questions to it. We do
not know much about some of the nomi-
nees of the Reform Party. Some names
have been left off the ticket which we
should have been greatly pleased to vote
tor. But in this great crisis, we intend to
vote every name on the ticket just as it
stands. When at future elections, as we
hope, less vital issues only shall be before
us,' we may feel it our liberty and even
our duty to scratch and divide our votes.
We may, then, if in charge of these col
umns, think it inexpedient to discuss in
them any of those issues. Tor entering
into politics of the present kind, we feel
the need of no apology.
MR. DOANE'S
CAPTIVITY.
The American Hoard have had very
few missionaries in the Pacific Ocean,
more highly esteemed than Rev. E. T
Doane of I'onape. He has labored there
patiently, faithfully anel zealously for
thirty-three years, inclusive of short intervals of absence. He is well known to
his brethren here and abroad as possess
ing not only great force and intelligence,
but also a zeal for Christ and His flock
that is tempered with prudence. No one
who knows brother Doane is likely to
suppose for a moment that he has ever
tampered with or instigated the natives of
Ponape to resist the Spanish authority
which has been set over them with the
consent of Europe. He has himself distinctly expressed his sense of the serviceablcncss of a strong government of that
sort over the people. His letters claim
for the Christian work and influence of
the mission the credit of the quiet yielding of the Ponape people to their newrules.
It is not improbable, quite the contrary,
that Mr. Doane and every other Protestant teacher has been diligent in instructing and exhorting the native Christians to
be steadfast in adhering to the teachings
of the Bible, and in resisting the efforts
of the Spanish priests and monks to pervert them to Romanism. This he had
the right to do, in accordance with the
proclamation of the Spanish Governor.
It does not appear that the Catholic
priests had any part in the accusations
brought against Mr. Doane of treasonable
acts. Knowing what «ur missionaries in
from that source, we may be pardoned i
we are too ready to surmise such instigating influences at Ponape. In lack, however, of any present evidence, we assume
that the only source of the false accusations is the one mentioned, a class of dissolute white men, naturally hostile to missionaries who labor for sobriety and chastity.
At any rate, our dear brother Donne
has betn for several months a prisoner on
board of a Spanish gunboat, and when
last heard from, in the city of Manila.
We do net know whether he suffered the
usual indignities accorded to prisoners, or
whether his venerable aspect and sweet
Christian dignity secured to him any
special courtesy and forbearance. As
much as this we surmise, that brother
Doane made good use of the opportunity
to learn Spanish, and that he has told of
Jesus ami salvation wherever he could.
We shall not wonder to hear that our dear
captive apostle has preached Christ even
in Manila, that city until now close sealed
against the Bible and against any knowledge ot the Lord Jesus except that so
dimly imparted among the thit k supersti
tions of Spanish priestcraft.
It' an o; ening should now be found to
carry Gospel light to the Philippine
Islam's: if brother Doane's captivity
should result in directing Christian love
and zeal to relieve the spiritual needs ol
that populous group, then his captivity and
sufferings of body and mind will indeed
not hive been in vain. 'This aftair must
ie a somewhat conspicuous one; we
pray that it may all fall out for the furtheri the Gospel, and especially lor the
kindling ot Christian zeal for the Lord's
Kingdom in Mi' ronesia ami the Phillip
pines.
The Rev. E. G. Beckwith, D. D.,
sailed for his home in San Francisco on
the a6th tilt., after having supplied the
pulpit of Port-Street Church during bis
summer vacation. A very unanimous call
was extended to him to become the pas
tor of the new church to be organized by
the union of the Fort-Street and Bethel
Union Churches. To this call Dr. Keckwith gave a conditional acceptance, subject to such reconsideration as might
prove necessary upon his arrival in San
Francisco, Our two churches feel greatly
encouraged by the prospect of the energetic and experienced labors of this greatly
esteemed and beloved servant of the
Lord.
The Rev. Lowell Smith, D. I)., while
Spain and their converts have suffered unharnessing bis horse at his former resi-
dence in Nuuanu Valley, had his vehicle
upset upon his body. Some severe bruises
were sustained, and a fracture of the head
of the left humerus. After the lapse of
two weeks, the bone appears to be knitting,
and the patient seems very comfortable
and cheerful.
Dr. Smith has attained the great age of
eighty-five yean, and since the death of
Father Lyons has been the senior missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. in these
Islands. He has not ceased from active
daily visitation among the native people

Dear Mr. Oggel: —l have not forgotten
that I promised to send you a line from
somewhere, but our point of view has
been so constantly changing, that it has
generally not seemed clear whether we a ere
just leaving, or had not yet arrived; we
reat bed Hongkong in thirty-threedays from
Honolulu, which though somewhat more
than we had planned for, was much le-s
than some other vessels have been known
to take. We thoroughly enjoyed the ship
Mercury after so many steamers, and the
children had for once all the deck raom
that could be desired. 'The time of
reaching Hongkong was about the worst
of the year, and our impressions were not
very favorable of that great resort of ships.
The hotels were all so full, that we had to
stay on the ship all the time we were in
port. In Canton we spent a delightful nine
days, the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Graves,
of the Southern Baptist Mission, and we
saw enough of the work in that city to
appreciate the difficulties as also the progress that has been made. It is hard to
realize that Canton was visited by Europeans within thirty years of the discovery of
America, and that it is more than 250
years since the English began to trade in
that port. Small indeed seems to be the
visible good result of so long an acqaintance with Western ways, but it must be
remembered that for the greater part of
all this time it was the spirit of trade that

ruled both parties, and that is always by
itself far enough from being the spiiit ut
the gospel. No province is better adapted
for travel than that of- Kwangtung, in
which the numerous rivers seem to be
always going just where one wants to go.
All of the missions are conducted on a
large scale, and all of them have, so far
as 1 was able to learn, a hopeful outlook.
The various German missionaries arc
tarrying on a work of great promise in
the inte-iior, arid seem to prefer to make
their homes in the small villages rather
than in the tities, as is the general rule in
China; as we have a home in a little hamlet, we- were much interested in this fact.

The family name,
which they say is the "revised version" of
Telemachus, signifies "to fight to the
end," and is an excellent one, provided
one tight as the venerable Amoy doctor
does. The Reformed Mission, to which
he belongs, began in 1847, in connection
with the American Hoard, from which, a
decade later, they withdrew in order to set
up for themselves, taking this Amoy mis
sion to make a start, withal. The htlltone has grown to be a great man, and 1 ne
of which its parents have a right to be
proud. In connection with the English
Presbyterian Mission of Amoy, the Re
formed Mission has for many years set an
object lesson of Christian Union, which is
of more value than any number of articles
in the pa|>ers on the subject. The two
missi ,ns form but one churth, and do all
their work in common, so as to economize
time and money. The union in Japan
among the various branches of the Presbyterian churches, of which so much has
been said in late years, was suggested by
that of Amoy, and patterned after it. It

really seems as if the most hopeful prospect for practical Christian union, in dislini tion from that which is purely theoretical, is to come from heathen lands! It is
a significant fact, in this connection, that
when the important experiment in Amoy
was begun, the most violent opponents of
it were the missionary authorities at home!
The present membership of the united
churt h is over 1,600. The London mission is the only other in Amoy, and their
work is fully as interesting md promising
as the Presbyterian. 'They have more

in the stage of small things, so far as the

it Amoy a doctor who has just come to
join the London mission, who is an Egyptian, ami who was converted from Mahora
nedanism, by attending the school of the
American Presbyterian .Mission in Alexandria, where his family still live. He was
kidnapped from the school, when it was

ami barely escaped to Scotland, where he
was educated at the University of Edinburgh, and now has come to China, to be

Editor,
SPANISH OCCUPANCY OF PONAPE.
Rev. E. T. Doane writes to the publishers of The I-KlKNii-as follows:
It is but proper I should send the following facts respecting the landing of the
Spaniards on this island, since some
months since I wrote of their taking possession of the island and so all the islands
of the Caroline (Iroup, all west of Strong's
Island. This was the region in dispute a
year or so since, between Spain and Germany.
The Spanish gunboat Manila dropped
anchor in Jamestown harbor March 15th.
Immediately she prepared to land the
forces she had brought, a governor, some
30 soldiers, some convicts, and 6 Capuchin
Monks. She comes to take full and absolute possession of the island; she claims
it, anil the natives are the children of
Dona Maria Christina. From this time
through the coming ages this is to be
known as Spanish territory. If Spain
sends here her governor with humane
purpose, to rule in justice, it will be a
blessing to the island. A good strong
government is needed, perhaps never more
than now. As to Romanism that could
be dispensed with, for the -people are
happy under, the religious truths now
taught.
Already the name Puerto Santiago has
been given to the old harbor formerly
called Jamestown, because of her surveying the harbor some fifteen years since.
And this will be the order of things, new
names will cover up or overlay old Ponape
and foreign terms. The port is to be free
from all duties for ten years. As yet no
taxes have been laid on natives or foreigners. A city is in contemplation of being
laid out near the harbor. The governor
is wishing the kings and high chiefs to
come over and reside near him; so he has
a daughter.

ANGLO SAXONIZING MACHINES.
This term is coined by Canon Wilberforce. He says that the United States of
America is the largest existing machine of
that kind. His meaning is plain. That
country possesses English institutions,
language and civilization. It has these in
such force nnd activity that it has so far
been able to assimilate the enormous mass
of immigration pouring in from Europe,
It has been able generally in one generation
10 convert all those different classes of
people into English-speaking people with
much of Anglo Saxon ways of thinking and
acting. None of the other countries, sprung
from England, such as Canada and Australia—receive and assimilate large bodies of
other races. As America is the greatest
English nation, so it is the great converter
of all sorts of men into ultimate English
men in speech and general customs.
Now to go from the great to the small,
we wisli to point out that Hawaii is gradually getting into working order as a small
but somewhat effective " Anglo-Saxonizing
machine." Probably no well informed
and thinking man among us has any other
expectation for the future of the Hawaiian
Islands than that they will be the home of
a population which will be at least, Englishspeaking. And to our mind, the universal
use of the language will carry with it much
of the exercise of English thought and practice of English customs.
English is already settled in its place as
the controlling language of the country It
is the governing language of the laws and
of the courts. It is supreme in business,
and in journalizing. Our public schools
are taught in English, except a few primary
schools in back districts which are still
taught in the Hawaiian tongue. The Portuguese if they care to have their children

and dispassionate statement of the leading

designed mainly for the information of
friends abroad who may depend upon the
FRIEND for their knowledge of what occurs in these Islards.
'The results of the change are chiefly
embodied in the new Constitution, which
was signed and sworn to by the King, and
proclaimed as thenceforth the fundamental law of the land, on the sixth day
of July, 1887. 'The new follows the general form and language of the preceding
constitution, but is changed in several important particulars, most of them reducing
the previously very great powers of the
Sovereign. The personal dignities of the
King remain unimpaired; his governing
power is radically changed. 'The fol owing
are the principal changes of importance.
Article 20 renders all officers and employees of the government and contractors
with the government, ineligible to election
to the Legislature. It also renders all
members of the Legislature during the
whole term for which they were ele< ted
incapable of appointment to any other office than that of a member of the Cabinet.
This deprives the King of the immense
power which he has heretofore enjoyed by
means of controlling the action of Legislators who were also government officeholders, subject to removal at his will.
Article 41 renders the Cabinet independent of the King, making them
movable only by a vote of want of confidence of a majority of all the elective
members of the Legislature. This puts
an end to the former frequent dismis
of Ministers, even in the face of voti ol
full confidence. It takes the working 1
of Government wholly awn from
under the
King's control, and places
control of the people's Representatives.
Article 48 destroys the King's absolute
veto power, giving two-third's of il c I.< filature the power to overrule his veto, air.
the case of the President of the United
composed of all male residents 'of Hawaiian, American or European descent,
possessing $3,000 of taxable unencumbered property, or in receipt of $600 annual income. This appears to be practically the greatest diminution of the King's
power, depriving him of the appointment
of nearly one-half of the Legislators. It
is understood to have been the change to
which the King manifested the greatest
reluctance to consent.
Article 62 does away with all property
qualifications for electors of Representatives and, as well as Article 59, extends
the franchise to all persons of American
and European descent resident in the Islands, whether naturalized or not. 'This
article, while fully preserving all the voting
privileges of the natives, and indeed .somewhat enlarging them, puts foreigners on a
complete equality with them, thus ending
the long felt grievance of foreigners that
they could not vote without renouncing
their nationality, nor then until after the
lapse of several years.
Article 78 declares that all official acts
of the King, not otherwise expressly specified, must be done by and with the advice
and consent of the Cabinet. 'The King
no longer rules, he only reigns."
Article So provides for an early election
o( a new Legislature and for an early
special session, designed to consolidate
and sett'e the working of the new government.
There are several other minor and subordinate changes. We believe the above
are all that are of material importance. It
is evident that these are very great, radically altering the character of the Government, while leaving its outward form.
This Constitution is held to possess at
least equal validity with the one before it,
whii h proceeded entirely from the arbitrary
will ot Kamehameha Y. who chose to proclaim it in 1564. As the new Constitution diminishes and impairs no privileges
of the people existing before, while it
increases and extends those privileges, it
is held that no vote of the people is
essential to its validity. At any rate, it was
who secured the
firmly believed by
new Constitution, that it was impossible to
obtain the necessary changes by tardy
legislative processes,-that immediate results
must be secured or none.
'These radical concessions were secured
from the King solely by a solid and iqfii
ier.t exhibition of military force, in the
form of a S nail well drilled battalion of the
Honolulu Rifles composed of white men.
'To nppase these the King had only a
badly demoralized guard ot native soldiers,

A large proportion of our leading white
residents cf all classes and all shades of
opinion were manifestly engaged in it, and
had been for sometime very quietly pre
paring it, and when the day came, prompt
ly carried it into effect without a shot or a
thrust and without tumult. It was neatly
and" thoroughly executed, with absolute
success, and without suspending or disturbing for more than a few hours the
ordinary functions of government. It
received the earnest and unanimous sup
port of nearly all white men in the Islands,
constituting the very first undertaking in
which they have ever before shown substantial unity of purpose.
According to custom, much is said in
reports sent to San Francisco papers about
the part taken by the "missionaries" in
this business. Many will wish for reliable
information upon this subject. We may
perhaps define the popular use of the
term as especially designating the several
hundred persons attending the white Cor.
gregational churches. It is often used to
include everybody else in social or moral
sympathy with then). There is no doubt that
this large and influentialclass ofcitizenshad
an active part in this movement, and that
among them were sons, grandsons, and
sons-in-law of old missionaries. The move
tnent however embraced substantially all
white men, Portuguese included; and a
large proportion of the most influential
actors are in no special sympathy with the
so-called "missionaries."
As far as we are now informed, we
believe that the influence of the so-called
"missionary element" in this movement
was quite conservative, seeking to preserve
the rights of the natives, and existing
monarchical forms, in opposition to the
very radical aims of those not interested
in the native people, and who were eager
to overturn the throne, and immediately
inaugurate Republican government. Many
others were equally conservative, and their
more moderate counsels prevailed. The
King was given the opportunity of yielding,
which he happily embraced. Bloodshed and
tumult were avoided. 'The complications
and disturbances attendant on extreme
Revolutions have been escaped. Mary

a violent crisis was seen to be imminently

PROFESSOR DANA'S VISIT.
We gladly record and welcome the second visit to Hawaii of the eminent Geol
ogist and mineralogist James I). Dana,
LI..D. for thirty seven years Silliman Pro.
fessor of those sciences in Vale University.
Dr. Dana's first visit to these Islands was
in 1840, as the Geologist and Mineralogist
of the U. S. Exploring Expedition commanded by Capt. Wilkes, he having charge
also of the department of Crustacea and
Corals, on which subjects, as well as upon
the Geology and Volcanoes of the Pacific,
especially of Hawaii, Dr. Dana issued elaborate reports, which secured to him the
highest rank in his departments of science.
Upon the Coral Islands of the Pacific,
Professor 1 >ana stands as the highest authority. His Uxt books and manuals of
Geology and Mineralogy are held of indispensable use in all schools ©f Natural
Science. Especially has no one contributed so much to the record of facts, or
to the study of theory concerning Hawaiian
volcanoes, as Professor Dana.
As chief editor for a long period of the
American Junrnal of Science ami Arts,
which has always been the leading scientific journal of America, he has long been,
as it were, the chief clerk or secretary of
American Scientific work. His own separate papers include hundreds of titles, and
according to President Oilman of Johns
Hopkins University, "are unsurpassed in
extent and value by those ofany American
philosopher.''
Dr Dana comes crowned with years and
iionors, to revisit the scenes of his youthful
researches, after an absence of forty-seven
years, for the especial object* of renewed
personal observation of volcanic phenomena, in view of farther revisions of and additions to his writings on the subject. How
great the changes during those years both
in America and Hawaii! The (iolden
Gate was then an almost unexplored passage, and Honolulu a town of grass and
adobe huts, with scarcely a tree.
No
steamship had then ever visited the Pacific
Ocean, nor even a steam-engine. Our
mails were then five months in coming,
snd now only twelve days. There are almost none of the old time people remaining to greet him. Professor Dana has however many personal friends, pupils, correspondents and students of his books in
these Islands, who will make him teel at
home.
Like Louis Agassi/, Dr. Dana has an end
nent son, Dr. Edward S. Dana, who is a
ieading specialist in crystallography, inheriting the gifts not only of his father, but of
his distinguish! d grandfather, Professor
Silliman.
We would add that Mr. Premier W. 1.,
(ireen kindly loaned us his copy of "I >ana's
(Geology " the other day with the remark
that he "knew it all by heart."
The wellworn book bears marks of the truth of
that statement.

for priU'c deem them of some
historical interest. They are also a priceless record of the honest manliness of a devout missionary in dealing with his royal
master, in order to save him from destroying himself, and his people with him.
Kauikeaouli, the King, was not a wilfully
evil man. He had good intentions, and
in some important respects was an eminently good King. But he inherited the
sensuality of his race and did not easily
bridle his will when his appetites were inflamed. 'To such a ruler a resolute monitor like the devoted Armstrong was invaluable. A king tan fall into no waxmore evil than to count his passions and
caprices supreme, his own will the law, and
himself a sort of earthly god. It is then
fortunate for him if there are those who
can quell him, and still happier if he
comes to heartily acquiesce, as did Kauikeaouli, in their control. No incident of
his official life is more completely char

GREEN'S THEORY. Armstrong's children, and printed

By the following letter of Mr. Martin,
late Hawaiian Consul-General to France
and Belgium, it appears that in France a
complete and general acceptance has been
accorded tothetheory presented many years
ago by the Hon. \V. L. Green of Honolulu in his book entitled " Vestiges of the
Molten Globe," as to the cause of the peculiar and somewhat regular arrangement
and forms of the great continental and
ocean masses of the Earth's surface, a
theory more specifically known as that of
the "Tetrahedral Collapse" of the Earth's
crust upon its shrinking interior.
Paris, June 2d, IXB7.
Hon. W. L. Green, Honolulu. S. I,
Dear Sir: lam requested by the Pjris
ideographical Society to transmit to you
the enclosed circular. Our .Society has a
very fine and numerous collection of portraits of almost all the Scientific men in
the world, and we would be very happy to
have yours.
Your'name is often on the lips ami in
the books of all the French geologists; for,
as 1 am happy to say, your theory of the
formation of the- globe has now been
adopted and is currently taught by the
great majority of professors of geology in
this country, as agreeing better with the
facts than Elie dc Beaumont's
What has become of the hook you mentioned about two years ago as being
ready for the press? Main s< ientific
men often ask me if you have not published
anything new, and 1 am at a loss to answer.
I have the honor to remain, dear Sir.
yours very sincerely and respectfully.
William Martin.
The Editor feels a particular interest in
the facts above slated, on account of having, soon after the appearance of Mr.
Green's book, published a confident prediction that his theory would ultimately
become the one taught in the schools as
correctly explaining the main outlines of
the Earth's surface.
We are happy to state that the maps and
diagrams for Mr. Green's new book on
Volcanic Action are nearly completed,
when the work will at once go to press.
We regard the forthcoming book as one of
the most valuable contributions of the period
to volcanic science. It is especially full in
tacts and able in discussions respecting
Hawaiian Volcanoes.

leaving the room and that he felt that he had been
grossly insulted. Mr. A. replied that he might
have made a mistake in judgment, hut that he had
been moved to make the remarks by a sense of
duty. The king then retired from the Privy Council, after requesting that the subject should be carefully considered. Paki, an old chief, said that
the king was hurt because the truth had been
slated; that he had conversed with his majesty that
morning, and his majesty had informed hint that
the ministers and chiefs had better bring his reign
lo a close at once.
Dr. Judd informed the Piivy
Council that he had threatened several times, to
resign unless the king kept sober. He thought the
remaiks complained of might better have been
made elsewhere, and for that reason he thought
Mr. A. might be censured, but if he was, there
should be a full explanation of the circumstances.
Paki thought that the king would take Mr. A's
life, after the service, and suggested that Mr. A.
be brought before the king, with the request that
he deal with him gently, for he thought that the
king was not vindictive; other chiefs expressed
the opinion lhat Mr. A. had spoken the truth, but
that, as it was done in public, it had naturally incensed the king. Mr. Wyllic, the Minister of
foreign Affairs, a wealthy and eccentric Scotchman, who had, by persistent diplomatic despatches
to oilier nations forced the Hawaiian Government
into notice and recognition, said that he knew of
nothing so likely lo cause the king to abdicate,
as public reproof; that if the king abdicated, there
would be a Republic, and the chiefs would lose
their rank and their lands; that most kings drank
liquor, and got more or less drunk, but he never
heard of their being rebuked by their ministers,
because of it. lie did not think the king wished
lo punish Mr. Armstrong, and suggested that a disapproval of ihe public reproof would be sufficient.
Mr. Armstrong stated to the Council that he had
repeatedly admonished the king for his sin of
drunkenness, and finally made a public reproof as a
last resorl. He felt that he might have been in
error in so doing and would submit to any punishment which the Council should impose, whether it
was deprivation of office or imprisonment. ( Hher
native chiefs then spoke, expressing love and confidence in Mr. Armstrong, but regretting that he
should have censured the king in public.
The following resolutions were then adopted
1. Rttetoed, That the members of the I'rivj
Council deeply regret that the feelings of the king
have been hurt by remarks on his private conduct,
addressed to him personally, last evening.
h'ewlvcJ, That the members of the Privj
2.
Council fully nly on the king's sense of propriety
and honor so lo comport hinisell as to keep up the
respectability of bis character, Ha man, and his
dignity as a king, for the good ol his subjefSS,
"3. AVm/.-v./, That the members of the council
express the hose that no occasion will occui to
hurt the feelings of the king, by any public remarks
on his private conduct, and thai the king will lor
jet what has pa-t.
A committee, therefore, took ihe resolutions to
ihe king, who, alter reading tin in. said lhat he
thought that Mi. Armstrong was making the chiefs
disaffected towards him, bui that he would reftect
on the matter,
On the following day the king senl word to the
council that Mr. Armstrong nrusl be removed
removed, he
from office, and that, if he was
should abdicate. Paki said thai i.c would agree
to Mr. Armstrong's dismissal from office, it the
king would promise to reform. Mr. li. an niil
chief, said that he would not consent to the dls
missal, because the hull was »ith the king. Kanaina, the father of Lunalilu, who became king in
1.574, made an imaginary tddiess lo the king, and
Hated what inconveniences and evil residis would
follow a dismissal. It was then suggested tiial the
king be asked il be would be satisfied if the ollice
ol chaplain to the Royal lainily be taken from
Mr. Armstrong, but lhat he be allowed to hold
bit office as Minister of Public Instruction. A
committee waited upon the king and made the
request, but the king demanded that it should be
put in writing." Mr. Wyllie informed ihe council lhat he had assisted in placing Mr. Armstrong
in office, but that he would prefer his dismissal to
the king's abdication. He suggested that the
:

council ask the king to forgive Mr. Armstrong;
that many kings were irregular in their,conduct,
hut, still, they were God's sovereigns, for all that.
In his opinion it almost amounted to high treason
lo speak in the council ef the king's indiscretions.
A new committee then waited on the king, and
informed him that the council requested him to forgive Mr. Armstrong. The king replied that he
now understood that he was really regarded as king
by his Privy Council, and accordingly forgave Mr.
Armstrong.
From this time until the king's death, the king
placed great confidence in Mr. Armstrong. His
quiet humor and genial manner was a strong agency
in controlling the king and chiefs; they felt that he
was a true friend. In small matters, which they
considered of much moment, he patiently advised
with them. He undestood their simple, child-like
natures, and realized how greatly their actions
were controlled by their feelings, rather than by
their reason. On one occasion a chief, delighted
with his assistance in the settlement of a dispute,
pointed out certain lands, and said lo him. "That
is yours," and was much surprised that he did not
accept the gift.
Mr. Armstrong's last entry in his journal
in regard to this, matter is as follows:
I did not attend Privy Council to-day. At 2
o'clock I)r. Judd returned and informed me that it
was pau " (ended). I assured him of my love
and loyalty and of my sorrow at having given him
offence. In doing so I was conscious of nothing
but anxiety for his welfare and that of his government. The interview was in his private room and
no one else was present. Thus this storm has
blown over. My prayer is lhat God will bring
good nut of il to the King, the nation, and to myself above all. I need more of the wisdom lhat is
rom above. God grant it me."
"
"
And illustration of the curiously simple
relations which underlay the external form
and ceremony of the little Kingdom, is
given by an entry in the journal made on
the evening of the same day
:

ll'
BY MRS. ARTHUR SMITH.
March, 1887.
On boar,l .Mercury, hound for Jlong A'i>n;cDeab Sisters \i No. 53: Far away
among the volcanic isles of the Pacific, I
find my thoughts turning lovingly to you.
On this Friday, while I lie here on a
long steamer hair, fanned by a tropical
breeze so soft and languid that it only flaps
our sail idly, and carries us no whither,
you. wrapped in your furs, aie hurrying
to the spot which will m.ike you ftcl that
you never were cold ill y"Ut life Would
ihat 1 were with you cm more, and yet
no farther than now from my beloved
China. It warm, toy heart ut lo remember the tine when Is.ii among you.
We had a safe and prosperous journey
to the Pacific coast after lea\ ing you, and we
sailed thenceontile-eighteenth of I lee. mber,
in company with my dear mother, for Honolulu, where we were to spend the winter.
While there it was a pleasure to meet, several times, one of our most interesting Sister Hoards. I wonder if any one has
ever made you acquainted ? I feel that
you cannot afford to miss the knowledge
of each other. You cannot afford it, because the Honolulu Hoard is a most remarkable, admirable, and sympathetic one,
—

whose acquaintance would enrich any one
Nor can they afford to miss the inspiration
of your loyal, loving Chicago hearts; for
they can but feel the isolation of theit
Board life, 2,100 miles form the nearest
Sister, with rip possibility of annual handclasp or heart-communion.
I suppose it to be the most remarkably
constituted Woman's Hoard in the World.
Everywhere in America one finds in the
service of the Woman's Hoard choice spirits, cultured, executive women, with heart*
attuned to Christ's last command, —women
of far sighted wisdom and sanctified common sense.
'The sisterhood of Honolulu has one
grace denied these others; 1 may call it
the grace of birth. In America it is educated into you, stamped into you, by
Children's Mission Hands, by Voting Ladies' Missionary Societies, and later by
Women's Hoards, that missions are the
noblest work on earth. In Honolulu it
has just been born into them. 'They do
not believe that missions pay; they know
it. 'They know it just as they know that
Diamond Head is beautiful, and Rilauea
is grand.
Let us look a moment at their rank and
file, as they sit in the quaint old Fort Si
Church basement. In the presiding chair
we shall find a face full of sweetness a"Vid
strength, and shall hear a voice full ol
cheery sympathy in its welcome to all pres
ent. We find a heart so large that it car.
love far-away China almost as well as its
own Micronesia, and plan to send an only
son there some day. Here is not simply
a theory that missions are good. She does
not say, " I.ct some one else 'go into all
the world' and do the preaching, and we
will see to the-dollars;" no, indeed ! In tar
away Apiang are dusky faces that would
brighten at sight of her—Apiang to which
her heart fondly dings, though its unprodui live shores nearly cost her her dearest
treasure. By some strange suggestion of
contrast, one look into her tranquil fat c
reminds one < ! a night her husband once
described. It w#s when they sat, solitary
and defenseless, in a little island home,
while a band ol lien c lavages without, with,
hideous yells ami outi ries, danced about,
thirsting for their blood. Aye, verily, mis
sirtns are something more than a theory in
the he.on of those here present. We can
not dwell on their past, but if all the Bp
dangers and hardships of these
mid 1 is before us in sudden pant
rama, we should wish to take our shoes
tin pres* n< eofmh i
from 1
in ti lisin.
'Two years ago, when we were last in
Honolulu, the president's (hair was draped
in black ; for one of the noblest of thei
(hoti c women had gone to her rest, leaving behind her, like the glory of a fadeless
sunset sky, the memory of her long, loving,
self-denying lite given to Hawaii.
A worthy daughter of hers has the not
inconsiderable task of carrying the bag tot
this society. A word later about her bags,
and how they are tilled in Honolulu.
I do not need to tell you, who are rich

�Volume 45. No. B.]
in rare women, that it is a very important part of the success of a missionarysociety to have a good secretary. They,
too, are no whit behind. I trust this letter
may stimulate you to send for their published reports, and prove the truth of my
statement.
Scattered about among the benches, let
us pick out the faces full of Heaven's own
peace,— the blessed mothers in Israel, the
missionaries of long ago, whose presence
would be a benediction to any meeting on
earth.
Many a loving service is still received
from them by that Hawaii Nei to which,
so long ago, their young lives were given.
But the conflict is nearly over for them.
Silver hair crowns the dear faces, and the
strength of that long ago hardly abides
with them now. "Mother Cooke,'' ''Mother Castle," "Mother Rice," "Mother Parker," as they are lovingly called, forgive
us if we call you out by name, would
that every Woman's Hoard had an edition
of you !
Yonder sits another, lit companion for
such hearts,- wife of the great-hearted,
cordial, loving sailors' chaplain of llano
lulu, who knew sailors, and loved and understood them as if he had been brought
up "before the mast." The great heart is
t)tliet now; the chaplain's work is ended;
but dear "Mother Damon'' still carries her
burdens with a brave spirit. The lovely
face over there that wins your glance and
holds it, —whose is that? Ah 1 there is the
romance of the Woman's Hoard. She is
a missionary of the American Hoard to the
20,000 Chinese on these islands, and the
only specimen of a ready-made missionary
ever heard of by the writer. The Chinese
there speak chiefly Cantonese; antl when
the son of the sailors' chaplain above mentioned set himself to work for that strange,
alien people in the island home of his
childhood, he could expect no better help
in his artluous work than other poor mis
sionaries have to put up with. They must
expect a male dumb and stammering, like
any beginner in a strange tongue. But
lo what grace is this conferred by
Heaven? A veteran missionary in Canton
has a daughter reared there to whom the
Cantonese dialect is idiomatic; to whom
the Chinese people, their prejudices, their
i ustoms and habits of thought, are an
open book well read. She is transplanted
to bless the new home in Hawaii.
Think
of il! No long, heart-wearying novitiate;
no struggling with pent up desire for work;
no groping in the dark after methods; but
fresh, young strength, and fullness of
utterance, without one idle, waiting year.
A Chinese overseer on a sugar plantation
said of her: "Missce talkce belly well indeed. When man talkee Chinaman he all
stay out; he no go in. Missee talkee,
plenty Chinaman all come inside listen to
her. They stay. They all still." Another Chinese friend said, with an enthusiasm that seemed strangely Occidental,
" She speaks our language better than
we do."
But time would fail me to tell of the
'
THE FRIEND.
sister on your right who shared the life of
the man who made Hilo forever memorable; of the unselfish worker on the left
who still toils for Hawaiian women; of the
active sister in front, the wife of the l'resi
dent of the Pacific Institute, where they
make Hawaiian ministers; of her work
among the native girls, who not only study
and play the piano, but sew, knit, crochet,
and make fearful and wonderful silk quilts
at their missionary meetings; of all the
other busy workers in the Cousins' Missionary Society; of the Cleaners, and the
Y. M. C A. boys. As we look about,
nearly all the women in that room are
daughters or daughters-in-law of the old
missionaries, though 1 see in the background faces familiar to you and belonging
rather to the Chicago than the Honolulu
circle. It seems more like a missionary
meeting in one of our mission-fields than a
Woman's Board.
Now, a word as to that bag and its contents. Their regular gifts seemed to me
royal in quantity, and were conferred as if
giving were a noble privilege they could
not be persuaded to forego.
Being invited lo speak to them the last
afternoon I was there, I told them about
our dear little chapel in Panng Chuang,
the result of so much self denying effort by
po r men, poor women, and poorer little
children, and how help had come from unexpected sources more than one c, a
beautiful story of helpful lo\c. 1 told it
simply for the encouragement it gave,-the story of earnest souls striving in the
midst of poverty for self-help. 'The hour
was late and the meeting was dismissed,
but as most of the ladies neared the door
an earnest voice said, " Please wait a
moment; I think we want a little share in
that chapel." I have been in places where
such a proposition was followed by a
marked increase of activity round the outside door. I was surprised at the suggestion. They had already taken up their
contribution, not a small one, and they
airy a heavy load of responsibility and
work all the time. 'The mere handful of
them support missionaries in Microbe'
sia, besides lesser burdens. In a few moments the beaming treasurer counted into
my palm twenty-three dollars. I was
amazed but thankful. Some ladies did
not have their pocket-books with them;
naturally they were absolved from all responsibility, as it was an unexpected i ah,
and that was the end of it. The end of
it? No, indeed not in Honolulu !
'The next day a lady drove up. to tall.
She had no money with her yesterday.
She had fifteen dollars in shining goldpieces today, -gifts from herself and two
daughters. Small sums came in from
various people who had wanted to give the
previous day, and could not, some coming
miles to bring the gifts. One young lady
brought ten dollars in gold from papa and
mama, and a five-dollar piece, proceeds of
the tardy fund, it being a rule in the family that members late to any meal must put
something into the missionary box. 'The
Panng Chuang Church will feel those
<
67
tardinesses have been blessed to the family.
One business man heard of it, investigated,
and derided it to be a good, sound invest
ment, and sent fifteen dollars to the Lord's
bank. 'Ihe Cousins' Missionary Si ciety
and the dear Young Lady Ghanetl sent
shining reinforcements, so that almost before we knew it we had one hundred and
eighteen dollars and fifty cents toward the
debt on our chapel; and what they started
for was to furnish a Bible !
Do you not agree with me that Honolulu understands the real grace, and tastes
the real joy of giving ?
Now, life is short, and 1 dare not begin
to enumerate the works of this Island Sister of yours; but are thty not all written,
nay, printed, and to be read of men? The
more you know of it the more you will
honor them.
Beloved, will you not send them a lettet
of greeting and love, and make your own
lives richer by this friendship? 'Trusting
you will, I remain,
Sours, with constant and abiding affcc

HILO BOARDING SCHOOL.
The fifty first year of Hilo Hoarding
School has just closed; and the examination and exhibition exercises, marking the
occasion, were most interesting.
Studying and reciting, as the boys do,
wholly in English, they showed commend
able aptitude in the use of that to them a
foreign tongue; —far more than the specta
tors present at the examination would
have shown, had they been required with
only a year or two of practice in it, to ex
press themselves under the fire of a rigid
cross-questioning in ancient Creek.
The three most interesting exercises
of the examination wtre the writing of
sentences in English on the black board,
generally without mistake, the correct solving of arithmetical problems, also on the
black-board, and the rehearsal by word of
mouth of extended stretches of American
and English history, showing not mere
verbal memorizing but the possession ol
facts and ideas given in their own words.
It was well done.
Among the noteworthy changes during
the past year is first, the erectk n of the
Industrial building, in which the boys are
to be taught carpentry, furniture making
(some very (reditable work in this line
has already been done;, tailoring and print
ing. 2, the introduction into the s< hool
curriculum of band music.
Considering the short time they have
been in practice, the Hilo boarding Si boo 1
brass band plays remarkably well, not only
simple airs, but music of a much highei
style than beginners usually attempt.
Mr. Burt, the Principal, besides being
an excellent preacher of the gospel, and a
cultured gentleman, is an experienced
teacher, an efficient musician, both vocal
and instrumental, and a practical mechanic;

in his pi sition; and ably seconded as he is,

REORGANIZATION OK EVANGELISTIC
WORK AMONG THE
HAWAIIANS.
It is known to many of our readers, that
Dr. J. K. Smith of Kauai, and his sister,
have been interesting friends in Boston in
their project of securing additional Christian
workers to labor among the Hawaiians.
The Hawaiian Hoard lias prepared and
sent on to Boston a request to the A.
H. C. 1'. M. to resume, at this critical juncture, its old relations to the Hawaiian Islands, and re-organize the Sandwich Island
Mission. Sc< retary Smith writes from Boston, 'We had a gathering of friends in my
room last Monday, June 20, in the interest
of the new work in the Hawaiian Islands
it which Gen. Armstrong, Dr. Smith and
his ister, Gen. Marshall, Mr. Hartwell,
and Gen. Anmtong's mother tcok part
along with several clergymen of Boston
and vicinity. A very hearty response to
the general call for more laborers was
made, and I think we may count upon
rom] t and generous support of this new
measure whenever it shall be fairly inaugurated. A good many of the young pastors
ha\e been conferred with in regard to undertaking this work; and some are quite
The Kamehameha Constitution, now
happily superseded, asserted tlntthe country belonged to the King: "the Kingdom is
his." The Hawaiians natura'ly interpreted this to mean that the King had supreme control over the people, their persons
and their property. He could order any
notion of his carried out, in church or state.
He could take all the money he wanted,
wherever he could get it. The King owned everybody and everything, and as the
Constitution also asserted, was above all law.
With such fundamentally erroneous sentiments it is'not strange that our Hawaiian
churches have suffered from the Kind's in
terference with the management and po'ic y
of individual churches and of ecclesiastii al
organizations. As the pastors and deacons
are usually the leading men in any community, they have in many instances been
induced, or compelled, to lent! offin carrying out the Emg's political S< hemes, and
managing elections, and voting for the
King's candidates. This sort of interference with the legitimate work of out
churches is, we may tru>t, finally and for
all time abandoned. At least, this is one in< lined to consider the question.
It will be a matter of a good deal of delof the political reforms demanded and
secured by the mass meeting held June ;,o. icacy to find just the right persons, such

etc.
The great difficulty, as Secretary
Smith writes, is how to secure suitable
men. Mere willingness to work is no
gauge of fitness. Aspiration to leadership
is no sufficient reason for putting unquali
fied persons forward to shame them and
harm the cause. Just as all good citizens
should now unite in supporting the new

EXTRACTS FROM REV. R. LOGAN'S
JOURNAL.
Our own school progresses favorably
The attendance of most of the scholars is
regular and all are learning We now ha\e
twenty seven Ruk people reading in the
Testament. Some scholars had complained
tha' they could nut get cocoanutl enough
to buy Testaments, but Capt. Narrhun als.i
buys arrow-root, anil all who can read
have now provided themselves with Testa
ments, paying arrow-root; and nearly all
have bought also the Bible Stories, so that
they are well supplied with br.oks. At the
out stations, also, they have bought many
books, mostly primers, paying (or thei"
with arrow root. We are so very glad that
there is a market for the arrow-root, which
is very abundant here, and of c\< eller I
quality. Our house building goes on
slowly. There are three under way, two
for the Training scholars and one foi
Karolina which we plan as the nucleus t>>
a girls' school. There is trouble to find
leaves for thatching. 'The leaf of the ivoiy
palm is used, but the tree is scarce. We
have been to some of the other islands
and now have enough to complete the
three houses.
One couple in the training s, |,o«.i
brought a baby about two years old. I
sickened, some weeks ago, and last Sur
day died. The parents feel the loss very
keenly. I did the best I knt'w how to do
for the child, but medicine did not sect
to help. Arthur made a little coffin f"i
him and we had a service at the grave, the
first Christian burial here.
Wednesday last, Hay 19th, Mr. Wortl
and Moses started for Murlloi k. We fell
anxious to have the t hun hes visited
again, hoping to slir tip more interest and

THE BLUE.
It is exceedingly gratifying to the friends
of Te nperance lo observe the growing interest in the Blue Ribbon movement which
seems to pervade the community among
both foreigners and natives.
The Blue Ribbon League holds a public meeting in the Association Hall every
Saturday evening which is well attended,
and some new names are added t) the
pledge-roll every meeting.
The Y. M. C. A. Committee on Temperance Work continue to co-operate with
the League, believing the cause needs all
the strength that union of forces can give it.
The native Blue Ribbon League holds
an interesting meeting every week, and
they have received large accessions to
their numbers, Stand by your color,
brother—and the popular color just

stand by your side. Or.c wan over from

OUR
PIANIST.
A very imooriant and helpful feature of
the Sunday evening Gospel meetings has
been the excellent singing, which has surpassed that of any meeting of equal size
the writer ever at.ended. The secret of
this musical success was largely due the
efficient leadership of Mi.-,s Mary Atherton,
who for the past two years, or more, has
most faithfully performed the double services of presiding at the piano and leading
the singing; her spirited touch and strong
leading voice imparted life and energy to
all present.
Miss Atherton graduated lion Oahu
College with high honors in June and
sailed lor California July sth. where she
will spend a well earned vaca'i in with tela
lives, after which she intends t.iking 1
four years course of Study in the States.

immense attendance, chiefly of white men.
Some 2,000 chairs were occupied, and
t,ooo more men were standing. All stores
and saloons were closed for the afternoon.
The good order of the meeting was simply
superb. It is the general testimony of
those accustomed to popular assemblies in
England and America, that tbey had never
seen anything ecpjal to it in this respect.
Its make every citizen proud of Honolulu,
that such severe displeasure and intense
determination found a full expression in so
orderly and dignified a manner.
The same good order prevailed outside.
The only intimation of anything otherwise
was the application of the unhappy
Premier Gibson to the commander of the
Rifles for a squad to protect him against
natives, who probably would not have injured him. The natives are believed to be
generally in sympathy with this movement,
which demands thorough reform, but deprecates revolution, if it can be avoided.
The very high character of our Honolulu citizens and of the Island population
is admirably attested by the whole style
*nd complexion of this movement. We
think it fair to claim for the excellent
moral influence of the Blue Ribbon
league for the past four months no unimportant share in this.
It is rare in political conflict, that so
strong an element of righteousness enters
into the feeling of an assemblage as it has
done in this. The corruption of tht Legislature, of office-holders dependent on the
kings will, had culminated in a law for
licensing the sale ef opium, intentionally
framed so as to facilitate the taking of
bribes. The King had solicited and receivt d a bonus of $ 71,000 from one chinaman, and then issued thelicense to another
party, while retaining the money. This
�56
almost incredible scandal, added to a multitude of other public offenses, produced a
unanimity and force of public sentiment
for reform, which made our mass meeting
one of refreshing and wholesome atmosphere, good to breathe; all who attended
it must have had their moral sense invigorated.
We have never witnessed such calm unanimity as in this meeting, such quiet force
■{determination, such repressed but stern
displeasure. The applause, the responses
of yes ! and DO ! were short, but sharp,
united, and as the seven thundeis.
We never have feit so sure of good,
stable, economical, honorable government
in Hawaii as we do today. How the
tawdry show til coronations arid jubilees
pales before the stately n.ajesty\ of the
righteous will!
CLOSING SERVICES OF BETHEL
UNION CHURCH.
Some editorial matter was prepared upon the subject of the termination of the
separate existence of this church. This
was, however, incorporated into a sermon
preached at the closing services last Sabbath, portions of which discourse will be
found in another page. It will be seen
that the dissolution of this church was not
a measure lightly or hastily agreed upon,
and that a most honorable lack of unani
mity testified to the strong affection of the
membership to their old church.
Lest any unfavorable inference should
be drawn from this language on account
of the greater facility with which the FortStreet Church passed a similar measure,
we point to the fact that to the Bethe'
Church, with their small membership, it
was a practical absorption into a larger
brotherhood, while to the Fort Street
Church it was practically not very much
more than a change of name, with the advantage of a large accession to their forces.
Hence the uniun was a project which the
one church might naturally entertain with
out regret, while to the other it was practically an end of their church existence.
We well know that Fort Street Church
look upon their noble record with all the
loving pride that the Bethel people feel for
or since. A large number of our leading
citizens, of both sexes, look to Dr. Beckwith with grateful regard, as the most valuable friend of their early days.
It has long been an ungratified desire
with this large circle of his former pupils,
as well as of his many other admirers, to
enjoy here in Honolulu, far a time at least,
the stated pulpit and pastoral labors of
this most able and beloved brother. This
wish is at last realized. By a convenient
exchange with the late pastor of Fort Street
Church, Dr. Beckwith is to supply the
pulpit of this congregation during the
summer month*. We bad the privilege ol
listening to a sermon from Dr. Beckwith
on the occasion of his recent visit sonictimeago. We then thought and still think
that it was the most thoughtful, and the
most eloquent discourse that we have ever
heard preached in this city.
Many feel with us, that it is a most
favoring Providence that has supplied our
two churches, now deprived of the services
of both their pastors, with the aid of so
wise and strong a man of God, who already
possesses in so unusual a degree, the personal confidence of our churches.
We cannot here refrain from renewing
our regrets over the early death of the only
son of our dear brother, who left us less
•
than two years ago, when near his earthly
end, the Rev. Frank Beckwith, then assistant principal in Lahainaluna Seminary.
We well remember the cheerful undauntedness with which he left us for California
to battle for his life
the renewed pulmonary malady which had already a hopeless hold upon him. Frank greatly reminded us of his uncle, Gen. Armstrong,
in his magnetic nerve, and intellectual animation. The Lord has taken him, one of
the very noblest of IL.wait's sons.
regular attendant of worship, including children.
Although the enterprise of building a new house
of worship, and enlarging our nunihers, which had
especially engaged our Pastor's energies, has suddenly been arrested by peculiar circumstances exterior to our Church, and so while possessing in
the fullest degree our unanimous personal confidence and support, our Pastor has regarded the
lou of unanimity in the proposed plans as fatal to
that especial seivice which he aimed to render,
and thai bat been led to leave us, we feel called
to testify to the prefioas remarkable success of our
Church in securing under Mr. Oggel's lead, subscriptions for a new house of worship to the

Mr. and Mrs. Oggel leave Honolulu with the

but ol tin- win.ie community, among whom they
have become relied upon lot their activity in every
tjo.jil will,. We would follow them with our

At a Church meeting which met en June
14th, after thirty days written notice to
each member, the live propositions of the
basis of union were adopted by a twothirds majority of 49 to 24.
A very cordial invitation having been
received from Fort-Street Church to unite
in '.heir Church and Sabbath School services, pending the expected consolidation,
it was v. ted at a meeting on the 22d to
accept the same, to take effect on and after
the first Sabbath in July.
Messrs. J. O. Carter and R. Jay Greene
were chosen as the two Bethel members
of the Executive Committee to prepare
the measures for consolidation.
The hearty thanks of the Church and
congregation were unanimously tendertd
to J. T. VVaterhouse, Esq., tor the bee use
of the Lyceum for fifteen months.
During the month of June, morning
services only were conducted by the pastor
for the two Sabbaths, by Rev. \V. B.
Oleson on the 19th, and the closing services by Rev. S. B. Bishop on the 26th.

be fitly described in the words of Isaiah:
the sole of the feet even unto the head there is no
soundness in it, but wounds, bruises and putrefying sores." So powerful for evil or good on the life
of a nation is the example set in high places.
There is one striking passage in Holy Scriptures
which emphasizes the beneficial or disastrous consequences of the habits of the Court on the habits
Woe unto thee, O land, when
of the people.
thy king is a child and thy princes eat in the
morning. Blessed art thou, O land, when thy
king is the son of nobles, and fy princes eat for
strength, and not for drunkenness." It wis woe
to the land when, at the Restoration, freed from
the stern hand of Puritan restraint, the nation,
following the example of a dissolute monarch,
rushed into every form of extravagance and vice.
But blessed has been the land under the present
reign, where the Court of the Sovereign has been
a bulwark of religion and virtue; where the wives
and mothers of England, looking to the example
of their Queen, have beheld in her the pattern of
all that is line and lovely and of good report in
woman; and when the Court of the Queen and the
sacred home of all domestic virtues has been the
pattern of family life to every home in the country.
2. Now, if the high personal character of the
Sovereign and the bright example of the Court has
been the bulwark of the throne, we may see another source of blessing in the respect of the nation,
from the Queen to the humblest of her subjects,
for the sacredness of the Lord's Day, The national reverance for this Divine institution has been
upheld and strengthened by the example of the
Q'een and Royal family. Those who would
break down or ignore the obligations of attendance
at public worship on ihe day of rest, find nothing
to appeal to in the practice of the Court, which
has been to "give unto the Lord the honor due
unto His Name." The promise stands sure,
"Them that honor Me I wilt honor." The English Sunday may be, as it has been described, a
perplexity and a purgatory to the Continental nations, but it honors God, who from the beginning
has appointed one day in seven to be kept holy,
as a day of worship and of rest, so that bound up
with the observance of the seventh day rest are
both the duties of religion and the rights of humanity. The nation has honored Almighty God
by refusing to diminish the honor in which it horn's
this sacred day, or trench upon the rights that it
bestows. And we can scarcely doubt that this
testimony of the nation's faith in the redemption
of the world through our Lord Jesus Christ of
which the first day of the week is an abiding memorial lias been a source of the honor bestowed
upon Ihe Crown. How deeply the neglect or observance of the Lord's Day may affect the best
interests of a nation we cannot attempt to define.
But it is written in the history of Ihe chosen race
that beneath the idolatry and all the other sins
that were denounced by their Prophets, the
neglect of the Sabbath and the Sabbatical year
was the root sin calling down the judgment that

I have been led to think that this com
mended frame of feeling was one especially
suitable and useful to all of us members of
the Bethel Church just at this time. We
meet to day under very rare and peculi ir
circumstances. I have never witnessed or
known of similar circumstances in the
history of any church with which 1 have
been acquainted. According to arrangements carefully and deliberately made, we
are about to dissolve our existence as a
separate church organization. It has been
agreed to terminate to-day those Sabbath
morning services of Divine worship which
have been uninterruptedly maintained for
fifty-three years. A few of us, myself for
one, have been acquainted with this
Church since its first establishment under
the chaplaincy of Rev. John Diell. Many
more of us have passed childhood and
youth and many adult years under the
pastorate of the beloved and lamented
Father Damon. Strong bonds of mutual
affection have grown up, and a deeply
rot ted church life has developed through
two generations of christian work and culture. Nearly three years ago, assuming
new responsibilities and engaging in larger
undertakings, we hopefully advanced under the leadership of our experienced and
energetic Pastor Oggel, whobecame greatly
endeared to us
All this has now come to an end. It
was so thought best to be done. This was
the decision of a majority of two-thirds of
the qualified gating members of the
Church, and so this morning we hold our
Sabbath services as we suppose, for the
last time at the Bethel Union Church. I
believe lhat to every one of us this fact
comes with great sadness. We are leaving
the old and dear home. It has been
thought best to abandon it, but it is to us
very dear and sacred, and we all lingeringly
cling to it, even though many are very
clear in their judgment that the proposed
new arrangements are altogether exptcbent
and best lor the interests of the Church of
Christ in this city. You know that I have
not myself been quite so sure of this,
although an impression has been growing
upon me that very probably true practical
wisdom does lie in that direction. I have
found it very hard to abandon our interesting and hopeful plans, and harder still
to dissolve the cherished family life of our
Church. I think I can enter with deep
sympathy into the very painful feelings of
many of the large minority who have earnestly and steadily opposed this great and
serious change.
This is no place or tbne to recapitulate
the many arguments used on both sides
with so much ability. It has been a protracted contest, one which has severely
tested the love and the forbearance of
both the parties. I rejoice to testify thst
the contest has been remarkably free from
whatever would have been unseemly, and
has richly proved the Christ-like spirit of
our membership. 1 do feel that the spirit
of Christ has been with us, and kept us
from much painful error that might have
been expected.
It is because we are so fresh from this
struggle, dear friends, and because the
soreness of our hearts is now so keen in
ending our united work here, that the exhortation to meekness and self-siirrender
seems one that will now be especially helpful to us all. One party in the Church
has overcome the other party in a matter
very close to their hearts. Any exultation,
any sense of superiority, any assumption
of wiser judgment, I trust is far from the
thoughts of the winning side. l'Yr one I
feel humbled in self distrust for what we
have been doing, although it seems to me
that this is the way that the Lord's hand
is pointing out to us.
To the defeated side, the task of yielding is of the hardest, and they need all the
wisdom the Lord is so ready to bestow in
order to see what is best for them to do
and they need all His helping grace in
order to kindly yield, if such He shows
them to be the present duty. And here I
wish to testify to our dear brothers and
sisters of the minority, how highly I, far
one, esteem them for their steadfast loyalty
to the dear old Bethel C*urch. I say to
you that you have done well and nobly,
and are to be honored and loved for your
staunch constancy and fidelity to the old
flag. We could, none of us, afford to
spare the testimony you have borne to the
dearness and worth of that Bethel Church
life which war are surrendering. Think,
brethren, how it would have seemed, if
that surrender had been made easily and
unanimously. How plainly that would
have seemed to say that we lightly valued
the old mother Church —she was decrepit
and useless —let her die! No! We leave
the old Church, but we leave her honored
and mourned, as is becoming. And that
seemly fact is attested, only by the steadfast loyalty of one-third of our membership, who under deepest discouragement,
have voted to maintain our organization.
Dear brethren of the minority, we are
deeply indebted to you. I am glad that
we had the majority needed to carry the
measure, but I would not have had the
minority one less. I would not forego the
precious testimony of a single one of your
votes to the preciousness of the Bethel
Union Church in the hearts of her membership. Anything like unanimity in this
action would to my mind have been a
moral calamity convicting our Church of
a tack of worthy natural affection.
And yet I think, perhaps with erring
judgment, that the majority voted wisely,
and that we shall probably all be more
prosperous and efficient in christian activities under the new plans than under the
other. Be that as it may, it has been so
voted by the requisite majority, and it is
for you dear brtthren of the minority to

At Lahainaluna also, as in the early New

with the view of preparing young men for

were a decided advance on previous years.
This is the training school for native Hawaiian preachers and missionaries, under

Institute. The conducting of this school
has been the main work of the ten years
which Rev. Dr. Hyde has spent here, amid
a diversity of other labors.
One of the surest marks of success in any
work is a great and steady improvement in
trie style of the work done. This test is

them with marked eminence. Two, Paaluhi and l.utera, are about to embark as

have already proved their capac.ty in active service here. Paaluhi is mentally the
ablest of these two men, but l.utera may

some romance in his story. A wild sailor,
he passed some years on the Gilbert Islands, and learned the language. Returning here, he fell over board from a coaster,
and like a good native swimmer, spent the
night among the waves, and was picked

sjlemn night. His sins came before himand all the Divine calls ofmercy and grace
which he had slighted. He there alone
in the deep vowed his life, if spared, to
Christ and His work among those pagans
whose vices he had shared. Now, after live
years of training and work, he goes to help
feed the bright flame of Christian love and
righteousness which has for thirty years
been slowly kindly in those savage tribes.

HAWAIIAN EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION.
The present Editor being Hawaiian
born, has b;en wont to personally enjoy the
annual meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelican Association, at whose sessions only the
native language is used. These and the
semi-annual meetings of the Island Associations have been a school of parliamentary
training for the native pastors, and the details of organization and order have come
to be conducted in a very becoming and
satisfactory manner. Some fifty pastors and
preachers with half as many delegates were
this year assembled. These were largely
men of grave and dignified aspect, with
kindly, intelligent faces—with a manner
betokening earnest faith and purpose. No
Christian could fail to feel that this was a
company of the Lord's people with whom
it was good to be associated.
The details of their work will be found
reported in their proper place. The conduct and results of the meeting were highly
satisfactory. Some apprehension had been
felt respecting some known revolutionary
elements tending toward corrupt political
affihatioas. A slight effort indeed was attempted in that direction, but met no sup

THE MORNING STAR.
The steam barkentine Morning Star is
appointed to sail on Tuesday, July sth,
on her third voyage through Micronesia.
The last of her expected passengers arrived on the 2Sih per Australia, the Rev. D.
J. Treiber and wife. Mr- Treiber looks
like the right man for pioneer work at the
front. R.ik, where lie is going, is truly the
very westernmost front ol American missionary enterprise. These friends luuk
strong and resolute, young yet not inex-
perienced. They have to meet tribes in
their primitive srvagery, Mr. Logan will
he glad for their coining. The ship carries
them direct to their destination, returning
eastward to the Other missionary renters.
Miss Dr. [ngersoll is to land at Ponape.
Paaluhi and l.utera, with their wives, will
probably locat: at Apaiaog. Altogether a
strong reinforcement is being borne to
those who are carrying on tne war for the
blessed King Jesus, His light and love,
against savage darkness, sorcery and
cruelty.
Captain Garland of the Star curies
with him our best wishes. He is highly
qualified for his work by many years of
successful voyaging on lliis ship and her
predecessor. Captain Garland is a special
favorite wiih the missionaries, who know
him intimately, and with whose spirit and
work he is in thorough sympathy. A good
sailor and a good man is a noble combination. From the first of our many years' acquaintance with Captain Turner, late of
the Star, we plainly found that combination in him. We hope to see him soon
again on his old route between here and
San Francisco, and to hear often his manly
Christian utterances in our church prayermeetings.
EXTRACTS FROM REV. R. LOGAN'S
JOURNAL.
Last year the teachers asked to have a
stated allowance instead of being supplied
at the missionaries discretion as formerly.
I wrote to the Cousin Society at Honolulu
who support them, and with their permission gave each one goods to the amount of
forty dollars a year, each taking just such
goods as he wishes. We have commenced
on this plan this year. I send for the
goods, expecting each to tell me as well as
he can the year before what he will want.
I order the things and let them have them
at enough advance to cover leakage, breakage, &c. The plan promises to work well,
having the merit of treating the teachers
as men, not as children. It takes time and
strength however.
The breadfruit is gone now and we are
having to look out for food for our large
family. We hope to feed them all so that
none will be hungry. It is quite a little
61
responsibility and not a little strain. But reaching here, and has not yet been able

doing well, so we are encouraged.
Dec. 7. Two canoe loads from the Island of Suk, or l'alosuk, some 140 miles
west of Ruk have been here. Some of the
same people were here soon after our arrival two years ago. They live in constant
fear of the people of I'aloat, a neighboring
island. They asked for a teacher two
years ago, and renew the request now.
They brought several of their women this
time that they too might see something of
the new religion,

nd the desirableness of the new religion.
a hope that before very long something
can be done for them. Two ranue loads
from Eatal, MortloCk, arrived here sometime ago. A deacon and two church
members are among the number. They
went to Namaluk alter lood (a distance of
about thirty miles), and on their return
drifted off and were lost, sighting Ruk
at lust after they hail been about ten days
at sea; they had food, but suffered severely
for water. None ot them died, though
—
some were quite wean.
The new scholars are doing very well in
school. It is so much easier to teach
them than it was those we began with;
they now get so much help from those
who have already learned.
We began sciiool March 29th, having
about 70 scholars from Ruk and the 14
from Mortloclc, &c We now have 25 to
clothe and feed, in addition to Solomon's
family of four persons, How we are going to accomplish it ail is yet to be determined, but we hope to "pull through."
We have one house which will accommodate three families, which leaves the other
four to be provided for. They will build
for themselves, we furnishing the tools,
twine, &c. Mrs. J.ogan began soon to
teach the women tffiew, so that they may
make their own and their husbands'
clothes.
Just before the Morning Star reached
us we were visited by an epidemic influenza. We found the people suffering
severely at every island we visited on the
Star. In some places we could hardly
make ourselves heard, and the people
were too miserable to give much heed to
our words. I hoped the worst might be
over by the time we got back to Ruk, but
found the epidemic still very severe.
Arthur had a severe attack, but Dr. Wetmore broke it up. I tried to look after
the severer cases while the Morning Star
was here, and when she had gone I did as
well as I could for all. I treated from 30
to 40 or more a day for a while. Several
died, and others were at death's door.
Several of the Mortlockers were very sick,
but all are nearly well now. All are taking hold well n school except one, who
became a mother the second week after
David and Sera, who came from Ponape
on the Star, have been located at Kutua
on the north side of Yoloas. A chief from
there came and staid all the time I was
away at Mortlock, going away only to get
food, fearing that someone else might get
the teacher away from him. 1 wanted to
locate him in the west part of the lagoon
where there is no teacher, but the urgency
of this man Was so great that we thought
it best to let him have the teacher. They
have given a good piece of land for missionary purposes, and the prospects there
seems very hopeful. David has been over
once, and was very enthusiastic in view of
his opportunities.
The interest here at Anapauo is growing, i think. The evening meetings number from 50 to 60, and the morning meeting! from 30 to 40 or 45.
May 22d. It is a long time since I
wrote in this. Duties crowd upon us, and
I try to get a little time every day for translating. FotH weeks ago Mrs; Logan and-1
went to Umm to spend the Sabbath and
have communion services. Capt. Narrhun
offered to take us in his little schooner,
and as the boat was just then in need of
repairs, and we saw that he would really
enjoy doing us a kindness, we were willing.
Mrs. Logan bad not been feeling quite so
well as usual. She worked hard Saturday
i'. m in teaching a new hymn, for the people at Uman do not have many opportunities to learn the new hymns. She slept
poorly at night, and on Sunday had a fainting lit in church. She bore the journey
home reasonably well on Monday, but a
ryn of fever followed, less severe than last
year, but she has not yet fully recovered.
The mission station at Uman is on the
windward side of the island. Capt. Narrhun anchored in a place partially sheltered
by a reef, and came on shore and had
dinner with us. When he returned on
board the vessel had dragged her anchor,
and before she could be gotten under way,
went on to the rocks. Moses and some
of his people ran out and by the aid of a
long pole, when there seemed scarcely a
ray of hope left, succeeded in getting her
into deep water, so that she hoisted sail
and got safely off. It was a time of intense
anxiety to us. She is worth about $1000,
and is not insured, and the captain had
come entirely on our account.
The communion services were on the
whole pleasant; several had to be excomThere
municated, several suspended.
were also quite a number to be admitted
to the church. Moses has a school of
nearly a hundred. The discouraging
feature is that fully two-thirds are women
and girls. We had something of an examination on Monday morning before we
started for home.
To be continued.

'Testimonies showed that the best Y. M.
C. A. workers were the readers of the
Y. M. C. A. IVatchman and it was advised
to introduce the paper and its reading
more among the associate members.
Throughout the sessions considerable emphasis was laid on the Bible training classes, and the free use of the word of God
among workers; it was very gratifying to
see how conversant the delegates were with
it, quoting it on every opportunity.
The devotional services were very interesting, after the leader had expressed his
thoughts, which were given readily and
with accuracy by one and all.
Your delegate was much interested, instructed and benifuted at every session of
the Convention and the good resulting from
it and the privilege of attending it will
never be forgotten by him.
It is rather singular that your delegate
was the first to arrive; your Association was
the first one called upon for an International subscription, and your building was
the first one shown in the stereopticon views
ot the last evening session and which called
forth much applause.
'There were in all 319 delegates, representing various localities from Maine to
Hawaii and from Winnipeg to New Orleans,
and nearly half of these delegates were
Britishers.
The closing exercises of the convention
on Sunday evening were very impressive.
After the usual service was concluded a delegate's testimony meeting' was held in
which nearly every one made half-minute
or one word speeches. We then ranged
ourselves in lines down the aisles of the
church, and joining hands sang the Y. M.
C. A. hymn; and college secretary Wishard
offered prayer, pleading for the continuance
of the Holy Spirit upon us, and who can
estimate the power of such a prayer, participated in by so many earnest Christian
men
Tue iadies of the different denominations furnished elegant lunches during the
week for the delegates and their friends,
and on the Monday following the convention, nearly 400 delegates, wives and
friends, excursionized for two days to Del
Monte, Pacific Grove and Santa Cruz. During the whole time we were well entertained and cared for; notably at the city of
the Holy Cross, where the repasts were
most sumptuous, and the local Y. M. C.
A. met us with a band and conducted us
toa pavilion where were millions of fragrant
and beautiful flowers, such as can only be
produced by the golden state.
Your delegate was abundantly blessed
and most thoroughly impressed with the importance of greater activity by all classes
and conditions of men in Y. M. C. A.
work; and determines to attend as many
conventions as practicable.
Your delegate feels grateful that the
honor and privilege of representing the
Honolulu Y. M. C. A. at the 27th International Convention of Y. M. C. A. was conferred upon
Thos. S. Southwick.

VICTORIA'S REIGN.
'The Britishers, resident in Honolulu,
are making arrangements for a proper
celebration this month of the Queen of
England's Jubilee. Our English friends
have reason to be proud of their Queen,
and we notice with pleasure that they are
enthusiastic in preparing for the Jubilee
exercises. The fifty years of Victoria's
renin will compare favorably with any like
period preceding it in British history.
These last fifty years have been marked
by a great improvement in the material
condition of the people; by an increase of
population, so that the United Kingdom,
which in 1537 had less than 26,000,000
persons, in 1885 had a population of
nearly 37,000,000; while to this it should
be added that during these fifty years
nearly 6,000,000 persons have left the
British country to dwell in other lands.
For this increased population there have
arisen improved means of livelihood, new
industries and sources of revenue, so that
the production of the country has not only
been equal to, but exceeded the consumption. Bearing on this, want of space forbids us to enter into details. Tnen, the
condition of the working and middle
classes and their manner of living has
wonderfully improved during Victeria's
reign. 'The people of the last fifty years
have had more means, better incomes,
better houses and greater comforts than
those before them. There has been

Rev. Dr. Meredith of the Union Congregational Church, Boston, has decided

the hour brief remarks were made by ladies
and gentlemen present. Miss Hall's desk
was covered with bright and beautiful
flowers, and the hour was worthy of the
man "of calm face, iron will and unflinching persistence," the hero of Appomattox
and the genius of the war.
The second in the list of propositions
for church consolidation in this city contains this clause
"a new church to be
called the 'Congregational' Church of
Honolulu." Why this name of a single
denomination should be proposed for
churches which are made up of members
of various denominations is to the average intellect a mystery. Hitherto both
Churches have carried unsectarian and
acceptable names. To Fort-Street Church
no reasonable person can object, as the
name simply expresses the street on which
the house of worship stands. The Bethel
Union has been equally unobjectionable as
a name. In this Church we have received
members from all evangelical Churches
and under the "Union" name they could
meet on a common basis as christians.
To introduce at this late day and in this
part of the world a denominational flag,
under which all christian soldiers will have
to march, we cannot but regard as singularly unfortunate. We had looked for
some such name as the " Union Protestant
Church of Honolulu," the first indicative
of a common meeting-ground as christians
and the second of the fixed purpose to
protest at all times against whatever is
wrong in Church and State. The proposed name is a reminder of the divisions
of Christendom and will, in case the consolidation shoulel take effect, easily invite
to the introduction of other denominational societies, a matter too sael to contemplate. 'What's in a name?" In the
case before us the name is important, and
we iVar that it has not received the attention it deserves.

they will also become followers of Christ.
Some of the wealthy and leading men
in the city have raised the funds to build
and collegiate department, and, although
they are not Christians as yet, they have
placed the whole management in the
hands of Christian men, of which Rev.
Mr. Neeshima is the head. The former
principal of the Doshisha at Kioto will
have the position of President, and two
missionaries are to be instructors in this
institution. 'The examinations for admission into this school took place while I
was there, and about 120 students will
constitute the beginning of this new and
hopeful enterpiise.
Some e>f the Buddhist priests have been
alarmed at this movement, and one of
their number lecently went to the governor, and with tears in his eyes begged
that he would not allow a Christian school
to be thus opened in Scndai.
In other places, also, the Buddhists are
frightened at the prospects, and are madly
opposing its progress. They say that it is
like the cholera and even worse; for while
one only destroys the body, the other destroys the soul. 'The older and ignorant
classes are still largely addicted to the
worship of idols, but the young and educated portion of the people laugh at such
folly.
At one town on the route, I saw some
gayly dressed cars being drawn through
the streets by the people, and accom
panied by the usual music of fife and
drums. On some of the cars were hideous images worshiped as gods.
On
some of thee ars were dancers dressed in
the richest robes, and trying thus to
amuse the crowd. All this was to keep
up the zeal of the people in their old systems of idolatry, and prevent their adoption of a foreign system of worship. But
few people were present, and but little
enthusiasm was seen. Idolatry is doomed, and the scream of the locomotive, is
its requiem.
Dr. Shwartz of the Methodist Church
has been employed for one year in the
Government school, and is so highly
esteemed that at the end of the year it
was insisted that he should remain in that
position, as they would accept of no substitute. Some forty of his students have
professed conversion during the past year.
In all that region there is an eager desire to learn English, and a very general
spirit of inquiry. While the masses of
the people are mostly indifferent, and
many still attached very strongly to their
old faith, the educated and thinking
classes are ripe for the gospel.
At Yonezawa there are 180 pupils who
desire to study English. Application has
already been made to both the Methodist
and Congregational missions for a Christian teacher
At Yamagata there are 120, and at
Awamori 150 more, who wish to study
great energy and influence.
This condition of things is, of course,
very favorable for all Christian work.
The sale of English Scriptures is increasing daily, and more copies are sold now
in one month than in the first five years
of work by this society. This extensive
circulation of the Word of God will certainly tell in moulding the character and
lives of the rising generation in Japan.
And it is this only that cm save this
nation. Old'systems are fast being swept
away. It is Christianity or infidelity that
is to prevail here in the future. If the
latter is to become the predominant influence, it would have been better for the
country to have followed Buddhism, as
any which teaches a future state of Tewarel and punishment is better than a
denial of a Supreme Ruler and future
life.
Wherever one goes there are marks
of progress. New and expensive roads
have been constructed in all directions,
and travel now is not the same that it was
but a few years ago. Nearly one third
the distance to Sendai is covered by railroad, and in about one year there will be
a complete line the whole distance. In
other directions, also, there are the same
facilities being multiplied, and the spread
of the gospel is thus rendered far less
difficult and expensive.
God reigns in Japan, and is using the
enterprise and the wealth of this nation
to promote the triumph of His Word and
the glory of His name.

IN MEMORIAM.
From the home of her daughters, Mrs.
Crocker and Mrs. Sutherland in Chicago,
111., April 6th, Mrs. Sophia M. B. Moseley was summoned to her home in glory
after a lingering and very distressing illness.
She was the oldest child of the now sainted
Rev. and Mrs. Hiram Bingham, and the
second white girl born on these Islands.
When eight years old she was sent to the
United States, and it was eighteen months
before her loving parents heard from her—
striking contrast to that of hearing in ten
days of her recent departure to "The Better
Land."
Leaving Mrs. E. Willard's Seminary,
Troy, New York, at the age of eighteen, she
soon married and resided for several years
in Hartford, Conn. From that city she
removed with her husband in 1842 to
Michigan where she lived till a few months
before her death when she was removed to
Chicago for more thorough medical treatment. As a truly devoted follower of
Christ, she labored faithfully for the advancement of His kingdom; and in her
various trials and sufferings she honored
mons. A few minutes before the end
came, she said: "Almost gone," and her
last words were " Praise the Lord."

AN APOLOGY.
The writer of the article "'The Reinforcement of 1837," in the May number
of The Friend, made a grievous, but
altogether unintentional mistake, in omiting the names of Mrs. W. P. Alexander
and Mrs. E. Bailey from the list of missionary mothers, who were in attendance
at the jubilee. 'These dear ladies hold too
high a place in the affectionate regards of
all, to have been thus overlooked; and she
begs a place in the June number of The

FORT-STREET CHURCH.
Tor the pastor and his wife May has
been a month of "surprises." Our generous people have added a golden cord to
the many other strong ones which bind'us
to Honolulu, having presented us with a
munificent "testimonial" in the form of a
elraft on California. The Young People's
Society gave us a very pleasant surprise in
the piesentation of a copy of Mrs. Sinclair's " Indigenous Flowers of Hawaii,"
accompanied with words of love and
friendship.
During the month of May, at private
ceremonies in their homes, the pastor has
baptized fourteen children, and in the
Church, May 15th, Philip Cushman, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hall.
The most important event of the month
justpassed was the special business meeting
ofthe Church to take action on theproposed
union with the Bethel Union Church.
While there were differences of opinion,
the meeting was most kind and Christian
in spirit, and resulted in the adoption of
the first and main proposition by 138
affirmative votes to 11 negatives, 7 having
since been received by mail and added.
Of the negative votes nine were cast by
members residing in Honolulu, and two
by absentees.
Sunday evening, May 29th, the Geo. W.
Dc Long Post, G. A. R., held their annual
memorial service in Fort-Street Church,
the pastor preaching the sermon, and
Comrade W. C. Merritt assisting in the
opening service. The music on this occasion, under direction of Prof. Yarndley,
was txceedingly good, the " Hallelujah
Chorus " especially being most effectively
rendered.
Sunday morning, June sth, will be a
notable communion service, notable in
that it will be the last service conducted

with their wishes and stayed with them
till the close of 1875. During that time
his ministrations were crowned of God
with two revivals of religion. As a result
of these awakenings about sixty persons
were added to the Chord). The year
1875, has for the l'astor added anil abiding
interest from the fact that it saw him married to Mrs. Cruzan.
Leaving Williamspoit the last week in
December, Mr. Cruzan at the opening oi
1876, America's Centennial year, took
charge of the Church at East Weymouth,
Mass. The Church there conferred a call
but was for reasons satisfactory to Mr.
Cruzan declined and though the call was
conferred anew, it was not accepted. The
work however was continued there for a
year and crowned with the Divine approval. Mr. Cruzan was then called to
the First Congregational Church of Portland, Oregon. The call was accepted
and the pastoral work assumed there in
February, 1877. The Portland Church
then had on the roll 154 members. The
Pastoral relation there continued till November, ISSI, and was Divinely blessed
with two revivals of religion; being crowned
in addition by a revival, resulting from
union services with the Y. M. C. A., which
continued for several weeks. When Mr.
Cruzan ceased his ministerial relations at
Portland, the membership roll of the
Chuich numbered 260, an increase of 112
members. From that field of endeavor
and visible results Mr. Cruzan came to
this city. Id August of 1 SSi, dining his
annual vacation, accompanied by Mrs.
Cruzan, he visited Honolulu. The Fort
Street Church was then without a Pastor
and Mr. Cruzan was invited to preach.
His services proved at once acceptable
and he was called to assume the pastorate.
The field was certainly an inviting one.
The Fort Street Church has always been
one of numerical and financial strength, of
commanding influence as a moral power
in the community and a wideawake aggressive organization in the direction of
mission work at home and abroad. When
Mr. Cruzan came to this Church in the
latter part of 1881, he arrived at an opportune time and began his labors under

JOHN ALEXANDER CRUZAN.
The Rev. J. A. Cruzan, Pastor of the
Fort Street Church in this city, has been a
minister of the Christian religion for sixteen years. He graduated from the Congregational Theological Seminary in Chicago with the class of IS7I, in April of
that year. Previous to his graduation he
received a call from the Congregational
Church at St. Charles, Illinois, where he
began to preach in January, 1871.
The call was accepted and Mr. Cruzan
was ordained to the ministry of the Oospel
and installed as Pastor in September of
that year. Mr. Cruzan's labors there covered exactly three years; he resigning, and
terminating his work in St. Charles the
last week in December, 1573. The impelling motive in requesting a severance
of the pastoral relation was that he might
go East to attend a course of lectures in
Boston and continue his studies to become
better qualified for the work of the ministry. But while "man proposes, God disposes." This proved true in Mr. Cruzan's
case, for when en route East he stopped at
Hudson, Ohio, and was prevailed upon to
supply the Church at Ravenna for a season, where he labored for four months,
from January until April, inclusive, 1874.
From that place he was called to Williamsport, Pa., where he arrived in May. While
Mr. Cruzan did not accept the ca'l, he
felt that the people there were not only in
need of pulpit and pastoral work, but also
that there was a strong desire that he
should minister to them. He complied

week in August, and under his ringing
Gospel appeals, Christians were aroused
and large numbers entered upon a new
life. It was during the progress of this
season of refreshing in spiritual things
that Mr. and Mrs. Cruzan arrived. Dr.
Damon through 'I'm: Fkii.nii thus cordially welcomed them to this city: "It is
peculiarly pleasant to welcome these
strangers as fellow-laborers. They have
had experience in seasons of religious
awakening and have entered the field in
Honolulu in the most satisfactory manner.
It has been our privilege to hear the Cospel faithfully preached by Mr. Cruzan and
in the inquiry-room his labors are admirably suited to the occasion, while Mrs.
Cruzan's voice in the choir has been
equally effective in the ministry of song.'
For two years we were associated with Mr.
Cruzan as editors of Tut: Friend and for
nearly three years we have been Pastors of
sister Churches in this city. We have met
in the social circles of Honolulu, exchanged pulpits and labored together during the Week of Prayer and in Evangelistic and Gospel Temperance work. On
Sunday, the 20th of February, Mr. Cruzan
resigned the Pastorate of the Fort Street
Church, the resignation to take effect at
the end of August, which will close a six
years' ministry in Honolulu, abundant in
labors for the Kingdom of Cod and the
best interests of men. These labors are
outlined in the following memorial 1
tions, presented at a meeting of the fort
Street Church and congregation, Wednesday evening, March 30th, 1887, by the
committee appointed to draft a reply to
the Pastor's letter of resignation, and

with which he has labored in the interest

In his efforts to helpfully reach and win

ministry here.
Ami this Church recalls with gratitude

forth on his part to reach the neglected

them within the influence of the Gospel.
And in this connection it would bear glad
testimony to the high esteem and honor in
which Mr. Cruzan has been held during
these years by all classes of people, winning their confidence ami
favor, and
known lo all as a manly man as truly as a
minister of Christ in till his intercourse

He has baptized our children, has solemnized our marriages, ministered to our sick,
has buried our dead and comforted our
bereaved, and always with such genuine
sympathy and love as to win us to himself.
His presence in our homes has always
been a welcome one, and our children will
lose a personal friend as truly as will their
parents. And we cannot refrain from including here an expression of the love and
admiration of this people for Mrs. Cruzan,
who has so lovingly antl tenderly added
her ministrations and labors to those of
her husband, and expressing the deep and
heartfelt regret and sense of loss which
this community feels as truly in losing her
as her husband.
In parting we shall bid them God-speed,
and pray that the Almighty Father may
continue His favoring blessing towards
them, and that wherever He shall call them
to labor in His service, they may reap an
increasingly abundant harvest for their
Master.
UNITY.
The genial editor of the Anglican
Chronicle in the April number of that
publication makes a plea for unity. The
editor's proposition is that the Fort Street
and Bethel Union Churches shall disband
and become one with the Anglican Church.
The common basis of agreement is to be
Episcopacy, which is made a sine qua non
"
side of " The Church " are dissenters "
or "schismatics." The platform is certainly not a broad or liberal one, but there
it is. We feel disposed to thank the editor for the kind invitation and his willingness that we should all be sheltered under
the Cathedral roof. The editor seems to
labor under the impression that such union
would be of advantage to the Fort Street
and Bethel Union congregations for they
would then be in "The Church." Now
the amusing part of this " Church " affair
is—and it is decidedly amusing—that
while the Anglican Church is preaching its
little sermon to us, " We are 'The Church'
and you arc prodigals and wanderers,"
the Raman Catholic Church is all the time
pn ching that same little sermon to the
Anglican Church. We should therefore,
in case we '.vent, on arriving at the Anglican Church not feel as if we had reached
our place ot destination, but rather as if
we had come to the ecclesiastical half way
house, and we verily believe that not a
month wot,ld have elapsed after the un'on,
when there would be a communication
from hi* reverence the Bishop of Oiba to
this effect, " Beloved, erring children
Delude not yourselves with the idea that ye
are The Church. The Roman Catholic
Church alone is the Church. Therefore,
ye prodigals and sinners, come home. The
Anglican Cathedral, which has been in an
unfinished state these nineteen years or
more, is still in statu quo. Ours is a spacious
edifice and complete. Repent, ye heretics,
of your past doings and ye shall have full
absolution. ' Verbum sat sapicnti.' The
Anglican bishop shall Deo volentc have a
vacation of indefinite duration in his native
England and I will house you and take care
of you all. Tria juncta in uno! Utcunque placucrit Deo."
Seriously we would say first—Let it
be settled between the Anglican and Catholic bodies as to whether either cf these is
alone The Church and if si which one.
Both cannot be The Church, and two cries

tend to confusion.
:
:
:
Again We would say kindly, yet with
some emphasis, that a proposal for unity,
coming from a Church which starts out by
unchurching all other religious organizations, can never have great weight, and
would emanate with better grace and produce profounder impression from one of
thereligious bodies, which at the observance
Master's table.
Finally: We believe in unity. It is
necessary. There should be no divisions
jn the household of faith. " But what
is called Episcopacy is with us not of central or pivotal importance. In fact, leaving
the argument untouched, our religious belief finds its truest expression in rites of
worship few and simple; in a ritual without a prayer-book and a Church without a
bishop. " Then, unity is not external or
mechanical, but spiritual. The essence of
unity is Love, and unity itself will be
11 at bed as thought contemplates and affection circles around the Person if Christ and
He is exalted among us, and we grow in
Him in holy emotions and heaven-born
graces, in clear conceptions cf right,
fidelity to duty and labors of love, "till
we all attain unto the unity of the faith
and of the knowledge of the Son of God."
The secret of unity is therefore not—nor
ever will be—in Episcopacy, but in likeness to the Personality and Character of
the Christ of Cod.

ness, and the recital of their experience in
toils and hardships which they joyfully
bore for the Master, could not fail to
strengthen our desires to see the waste
places repaired, and the kingdom of the
Prince of Peace re-established on these
fair shores. So this gathering has seemed
to have been most providentially inaugurated, and most kindly smiled upon by
Providence in the happy carrying out of
well appointed details, that have made it
one of the pleasantest gatherings ever held
in Honolulu. It was a pleasing coincidence that the regular monthly meeting of
the Cousins fell this year on the 9th of
April, as near the full of the moon as
possible, and that the place of that meeting was on historic mission ground.

the hospitable home of scores of missionaries on their arrival here, hard by Father
Castle's, whose parlor was the first Sabbath schoolroom for mission children, and
still retaining on its grounds the mission

by turns, the home of the Shepherds, the
Judds, Armstrongs, Clarkes and Gulicks,
stands Kawaiahao Seminary, itself an outgrowth of missionary effort and a monument to the early and continued interest
of the Cousins' Society in the education
of native girls. Its courteous corps of
teachers welcomed the Society to its halls
on the evening of the 9th. Artistic decorations in varied tropic foliage, with spears
antl arrows of heathen warfare, covered
the walls of the spacious dining room,
while a fine upright piano, late gift of
Castle tS: Cooke to the Seminary, a convenient platform for president's chair and
desk, and comfortable arrangement of seats
for the members and their guests made an
attractive spot for the first in the series of
our Jubilee meetings. It was a precious
keynote that was struck when we joined in
the hymn:
-
be the tie thru binds
" Blest
Our hearts in Christian love."
This was followed by choice words of welcome from Mrs. Merritt. Then, in order,
came able papers in the Maile," letters
from absent members and valuable discussions relative to new reinforcements for
Christian work among the Hawaiians. All
closed by the time-honored custom of
singing a verse of the missionary hymn,
" From Greenland's icy mountains."
The two congregations of Fort Street
Church and the Bethel Union united on
the following Sabbath evening in their
attendance upon the second Jubilee meeting, at which Rev. Dr. Hyde presided.
No text could have been more fitly chosen
than these words, "The Lord our God be
with us, as He was with our fathers." The
preacher, Rev. W. B. Oleson, drew a sad
but truthful contrast between the former

those who so richly shared in this " Reinforcement—of—37 " Jubilee. Upon the
platform, with President Merritt, were the

were opened with the doxology, and

in kindly words of welcome and explanation then greeted the society and their
honored guests, and programme in hand,
called to the platform in order as their

to make the pleasant parlors still more

OUR CHINESE INVASION.
By Rev. W. B. Oleson.
There is a restless spirit abroad in the
world to-day not unlike that which characterized the westward movement of nations in the early days of Christianity.
Primitive Christianity had barely permeated Roman thought with its new faith and
Roman life with its new spirit when it was
called upon to stem the onset of the barbaric
hordes of northern and eastern Europe.
It was a crucial time, one of those crises
through which Christianity however has
uniformly passed triumphant.
The same assertive and absorbent power
of our religion is manifest to-day in the
religious amalgamation of the various nationalities who have sought a home in the
United States. There is a modern migration of races and it is as assuredly under
Providential supervision as that earlier migration of nations which gave to the world
our Anglo-Saxon type of Christian faith
and practice. And there is quite as little
occasion now for pessimistic views as to
the religious outlook for nominally Christian communities subjected to the strain of
assimilating a large alien population of
irreligious or positively heathen antecedents as there was when the vandals
thronged the streets of Rome and changed
its civilization in a day.
To be sure, it is doubtful whether in the
present movement of races, Anglo-Saxon
Christianity is put to a severer strain in
maintaining its supremacy than right here
in the Hawaiian Kingdom. So great is
the emergency and so perplexing are the
problems confronting us, that not a fewhave been led into a sort of semi-pessimism as regards thought and action alike.
This is unfortunate for it paralyzes effort
and puts our common faith at a disadvantage before the persistent heathenism of
the East now domiciled among us. It is
moreover ill-advised since there is really
no sufficient reason fur dismay at lbeap| arent establishment in our midst of a heathen philosophy of life. It is altogether likely that our Islands will afford shelter for
heathen belief and practice for many years
yet. But it does not follow tha» heathenism will make any substantial growth or
even hold its own before a pure and aggressive Christianity.
Where are the converts to Chinese
heathenism ? Where are the signs of any
attempt to propagate Chinese heathenism?
the signs that Chinese heathen-
ism is holding its own ?
We know of not a few converts from
Chinese heathenism to Christianity. We
know that Chinese half caste children and
their mothers do not break away from
Hawaiian Christianity. We know that so
far as any change of religion has resulted
from the contact of Chinese with Hawaiians it has not been Hawaiians who have
become heathen but the Chinese whohave
become Christians. But the fact which is
most significant is that our Christian civilization is certainly modifying Chinese
prejudice; and thus promoting the cause of
mission-work among them. It goes without saying that a Chinaman is more accessible to Gospel effort here in Honolulu
than in Hongkong.
Prof. Phelps once remarked that in all
great moral conflicts minorities have won.
A minority compacted by the cohesion of
high moral purposes is a force that easily
dominates mere numbers. In this lies
the power of our Christian institutions,
agencies and society notwithstanding the
large influx of Chinese. But in the total
effect of Christianity on all heathen beliefs
among us we must recognize fully the
numerical strength of Christianity. We
must not ignore the power and presence
of the Roman Catholic Church with its
large body of Portuguese and Hawaiian
adherents. We may deplore the type of
Christianity thus presented, but we cannot
deny that it is a formidable foe to any
heathen faith, and we should gladly recognize the fact that Portuguese Christianity
is more likely to take on an evangelical
vitality in the presence of our preponderant Protestantism than it is to suffer any
serious loss by contact with Oriental heathenism.
The present era of indifferentism among
our Protestant Hawaiian Christians betokens no real decadence of intellectual conviction and belief but rather a lack of
spiritual life only. To all intents and purposes our Hawaiian community is Occidental rather than Oriental in its predilections. Apparently Hawaiian life has taken
on none of the distinctive characteristics
of Chinese life, while on the contrary, our
Chinese community has been less conservative, adapting itself readily to the situation as it has found it in our outlying districts, if not in Honolulu. It is nothing
to the point what the reasons have been,
that have induced this adaptation to surroundings. The fact is significant that
notwithstanding the historic conservatism
of the Chinese, the drift towards a community of interest between Hawaiians and
Chinese is from the latter rather than from
the former. In this connection, it is a
notable fact that so many Chinese have
been introduced to the Christian life
through the instrumentality of the Hawaiian language. It is one of the most
hopeful indications regarding the religious
future of these Islands, that the religious
capital invested here under missionary
auspices in other days is likely to be employed most effectively in the regeneration

of Chinese and Japanese resident among
us especially in places outside of Honolulu.
It is not probable that our English tongue will be the medium of any very radical
changes in Chinese and Japanese life and
character. It is a language too difficult
of acquirement and in matters of religion
and morals too abstract in its vocabulary.
Really valuable work has been wrought for
the Chinese through our mother-tongue,
by city missionaries in San Francisco.
But there, the English language is a common medium of communication, and there
is a more pervasive English language atmosphere. Here social necessities throw
the Chinese into more intimate relations
with Hawaiians. The Hawaiian language
serves all business purposes and is more
readily acquired. It is moreover a more
objective language and naturally apueals
more readily to the class of Chinese who
are providentially among us.
Personally, I do not share in the conviction that the Hawaiian is a dying race, or
that the Hawaiian language is doomed to
disappear or that our Hawaiian churches
are fated to dismemberment and extinction. Personally I am convinced that
the Hawaiian race has a future before it;
that the Hawaiian language will always be
the chosen medium of communication
between the masses of our population;
and that a new era of life and work is
opening to our Hawaiian churches. The
religious possibilities of the Hawaiian
language in arousing the sluggish temperament of our Oriental population are far
beyond those of our own tongue. 1 have
seen Chinamen stirred till their whole
nature seemed to respond to the fervid
rhetoric of a Hawaiian speaker. Not one
man in a thousand can .use English with
any such effect. If Hawaiian fervor could
be wedded to Cninese constancy, a type
of religious life would be evolved that
would put our Anglo-Saxon Christianity to
shame.
To a certain extent, Hawaiians, Portuguese and Chinese mingle on the same
plane. Their contact is daily and hourly
along all the lines of industrial employment and social necessity. They meet on
the common basis of the Hawaiian language. That language and our Hawaiian
churches offer the leverage whereby many
Chinese at least will be lifted into the
Christian faith and experience. It follows
that our Hawaiian churches must be sustained and their work reinforced in every
wise and feasible way. I have purposely
refrained from any discussion of the industrial aspect of our Chinese invasion. 1
have less fear than some that Chinese
industry is to triumph here and that it will
outbid all competition. I believe there is
a great deal of hard fact in the ejaculation
of a Chinaman when he saw an artificial
limb. "Melican man he too muchee
smart. Chinaman he no can do that."
There are aspects of trade and industry
that are largely closed to Chinese and
must remain so.
For our present purpose however I wish
to emphasize two facts, viz., that our Isl-

FORT STREET CHURCH.
A very pleasant social was given by the
Ladies' Society in the Lecture-room, Thursday evening, April 14th.
On Sunday afternoon, April 3d, the
pastors of the Bethel Union and Fort St.
Churches held a union baptismal service
at the residence of Mrs. Lack,
when
Charles Henry Franklin, son of Mr. and
Mrs. C. H. Nicoll, and Myra, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Peterson were baptized.
April 24th, the pastor administered baptism to Lawrence McCully, son of Hon.
A. F anil Mrs. Agnes Boyd Judd. Rev.
C. M. Hyde, I). D. and Rev. Geo. Wallace
assisted in the service.
Easter Sunday, April 10th, the audience
room was tastefully dot orated with flowers;
the choir, at the morning service, gave a
delightful praise service; the ordinance of
infant baptism was administered to Donald
Evans, son cf J. A. and E A. I. Cruzan,
and the pastor gave a brief Easter address.
In the evening there was a union service,
held under the auspices of the Hawaiian
Mission Children's Society, in commemoration of the arrival of the missionary reinforcement of 1837. Dr. Hyde and Revs.
Bailey and Smith conducted the opening
service, and Rev. W. B. Oleson preached
a sermon which gave in a few words the
most clear, graphic, and truthful picture of
the present condition of the Hawaiians,
and the importance and responsibility laid
upon Christians, for renewed effort in religious work among them, we have ever
heard.
APRIL—MAY.
The collection on Sabbath, April 3rd,
by the Sunday School for Christian work
among the Chinese on these islands
amounted to $24.90.
On Sabbath afternoon, April 3rd, at the
residence of Mrs. Lack, the pastor administered the rite of baptism to Myra, infant
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Peterson.
The morning service on Easter Sunday,
April 10th, was conducted by the Sunday
School. The floral decorations were abundant and beautiful. There was a large
attendance, especially of young people,
and the hour doubtless one of profit and
interest to all present.
The subject at the Monthly Concert on
Wednesday evening, the 13th, was India.
Rev. S. F. Bishop and others took part.
A paper was read by Mrs B. F. Dillingham, which will appear in the next number of The Friend.
On Thursday evening, the 14th, a farewell sociable was given by the ladies of the
Church at the pastor's residence to Mr.
and Mrs. William Waterhouse, who, with
their children, left Honolulu the following
weak for their home in Cedar Rapids,
lowa. A large number gathered together
for the occasion. The evening was spent
in social intercourse, with vocal and instrumental music, followed by refreshments. There was also the presentation
of an address by Mr. J. E. Bidwell, in'behalf of the Social Union, to Mr. and Mrs.
Waterhouse, expressing the appreciation
of all of their labors in the Church, regrets

parting and best wishes for their prosperity in their Cedar Rapids home. Mr.
Waterhouse responded in his happy, warmat
hearted manner. All regretted that these
friends were to leave Honolulu. We hope
to hear before long of their safe arrival in
lowa.
On Monday, the 18th, Walter Hemdon
Ruberg, at the Queen's Hospital, professed his faith in Christ, and the pastor, assisted by Mr. D. P. Peterson, administered to him the lite of Baptism.
On Communion Sunday, May ist, the

March 26. About sixty Japanese gathered
inside the large room, and quite a large
number unable to get in stood outside at
the doors and windows. Dr. C. M. Hyde
presided, and opened the exercises with
prayer. Mr. Taro Ando, the Japanese
Consul, gave an excellent address in his
native tongue, which he repeated in
English, for the benefit of the Englishspeaking friends present. Addresses were
also made by Mr. G. Nacayama, and Mr.

work of Mr. Damon, assisted by some of
the young men. The Consul and those

THE MORNING STAR AND HER
WORK.
The Morning Star, Capt. H. W.
Turner, arri.ed safely in port on Monday,
April 4th, being only thirteen days after
the date set for hef return, which was
March 22m1. This is hitting the mark
pretty closely in a voyage of eight m mths'
duration, with so many contingencies and
uncertainties as always accompany such
work as hers.
This is the first time that she has cofiipleted all the work laid out for her in the
instructions given to her captain, ami returned t> Honolulu on or about the lime
set. While we thus give credit to the
captain, officers, and crew, we also appreciate the peculiar difficulties which had in
be overcome throughout the voyage, OW
ing to the poor sailing qualities of the vessel, and the lack of proper steam power.
As somewhat extensive repairs will be
required to fit her for another voyage, she
will not probably sail on her next annual
trip before the midd c or latter part of
June.
With reference to the condition of her
hull, we are glad to be able to say that
after a thorough investigation by a competent Board of Survey since her return,
she is found not to be in so bad a condition as was fearetl. The dry-rot is found
to be confined to the stern timbers above
water for a distance of ten or twelve timbers on each side, or not quite as far as
the miz/.en chains.
Some of the upper planking
on the stern
is also affected with dry rot. The principal cause of the trouble seems to be the
entire absence of salt in the stern frame.
These defects will be remedied, anil the
vessel put in thorough sea-going order.
It was fortunate for her, in her weal:
ened condition, that she had pleasant
weather throughout the voyage, and met
with no heavy gales. Captain Turner in
his report sums up the work of the voyage
as follows: Number of stations stopped at,
|0: number of islands visited, 23; number
of miles sailed and steamed, 13,846; number of miles of boating, 745. The engineer reports fifty-five days and five hours
of steaming during the voyage.
By
the Morning Star, returned Miss
.ydia E. Hemingway of the Mission at
Lusaie on account of a failure of health.
t is hoped that after a season of rest and
recruiting she may be enabled to return
again to her work.
The house for the Girls' Boarding
School at Kusaie, the material for which
was sent down by the Morning Star, was
successfully erected, and the school at
once put in operation.
FROM MISSIONARY
EXPERIENCE.
We cull a few extracts from the journal
letters of the missionaries in Micronesia
which will be of general interest.
The following are from the journal of
Rev. R W. L igan, who is stationed at
Ruk. Under date of June 5, 18S6, he
writes:
"Hall's Islands are a small group of
con! islands thirty or forty miles north of
Ruk The people speak the Ruk language and have been reputed veiy fierce.
Some years since, they massacred the
whole crew of a wrecked vessel who escaped to those islands in a boat. A boy
from there, some years ago was taken to
the Ladrone Islands. From there he,
after a while, got to Ponape, where he
learned to read, and was a quiet, inoffensive man, He went with Mr. Sturgei to
Honolulu to take care of him on the voyage:. There he shipped as as itlor on the
Morning Star. Just before the Star sailed
for Honolulu in Mate!, Tom, as he is
called, had liberty ashore. On the north
side of U 'la be found hi; mother and
brother, who had come from their home
in search of food. The pressure upon
Tom was too strong and the Star hatl to
sail without him. We heard nothing of
him for about two months, when he came
to us wanl
et boOkS. He said he
did not want to run away from the Star,
but finding his mother was too much for
him. He had been up to his former home
and said he had been talking to the people, and they were willing to accept
Christianity. We encouraged him to do
what he can. This week he came back
for more books, saying that the young
people in numbers want to learn to read.
He has also been to two other islets and
talked to the people, some of whom were
willing to accept Christianity, others not.
We gave him more boiks, and t ,ld him
we would try to have the Morning Star
visit those islands. We feel so glad that
the way is opening for the Gospel there."
And under date of January 17, 10S7,
EXTRACTS
a-;
follows:
"The sequel to the story of Tom, the
sailor who ran away from the Morning
Star, is a very sad one. Captain Narrhun
sent his schooner to Hall's Islands in command of one Sundberg, a Swedish American. When the schooner came back she
brought two women, whom Sindberg said
he hatl brought to save them from Tom,
who was trying to conquer the whole
group, and was waging a cruel warfare.
Captain Narrhun suspected something
wrong, and asked me to go down and talk
to the women. I found out that the women, who were mother and daughter, were
very much frightened. Sundberg wanted
to marry the young woman (he is 65 years
old), but as it appeared that they were
taken by force we gave the.n into the care
of some of their friends who are living
about here. Sundberg told a terrible
story about Tom's fightings and cruelties.
Later we found out that he himself had
helped Tom in an attack on Murila, one
of those islands. He had armed some of
Tom's follrwers from the schooner, and
himself assisted with a breech loading and
a repeating rifle. There were two native
boys on the schooner. Sundberg threatened to kill them if they should tell, and
made them swear that they would not.
"Captain Narrhun promised to protect
the boys, and with much trembling they
told the whole terrible story. It is difficult
to imagine a sufficient motive to lead the
old man into such tiendisriness.
Captain Narrhun at once discharged
Sundberg. The story has been quite fully
corroborated by the women, and by natives
of those islands, who have since come to
Ruk. Torn hatl previously conquered
Faranu, another of the Hall's Islands, at
the expense of two lives, wl ile with the
white man's weapons and help at Murila
probably twenty were kilted. Tom lived
on the island of Nomnin, and hunger
seems to have joined with the l< ye of
power, and d.-rsire of gain to lead Tom and
the Noranin people into these nets. We
have since heard that the people on all

KAWAIAHAO CHURCH.
During the first quarter of the year both
Church and Sunday School have made
satisfactory progress. The attendance upon
divine service has been rather better than
during the latter part of 1886 and the interest greater. The marked feature of
Church work has been the Temperance
cause under the stimulus given by Mr.
Booth's lectures.
The Sundayschool has been fuller than
for a number ofyears, there being a marked
increase in the number of boys. The average total has risen to about 330. The
weakest spot is the lack of intelligent
christian teachers.
The last Sunday in the quarter was devoted to the Quarterly Exhibition of the
eight or nine schools dependent on the
central school at the Church. The attendance from the schools was about 550; the
audience about 800. The exercises were
marked by vigorous singing and intelligent
exposition in the main of the lesson of the
past quarter. For both Church and School
the outlook for the present quarter is good.

'The year just closed has been a successful one for the cause of Temperance in
this city, and progress has been made in
the work. Some of our churches have
been alive to the subject and have labored
faithfully and well; the W. C. T. U. has
rendered good service and done much to
create a sentiment in favor of tern' erance
in our community, and the labors of Mr
Booth have been greatly blessed not only
to the foreigners but to the natives.
We are soon to lose our most active
temperance worker, Rev. J. A. Cruzan. I
do not hesitate to say, without fear of contradiction, that Mr. Cruzan has done more
for the cause of temperance during his six
years' residence in this city than any other
individual, and it will be difficult, if not
impossible, to find one to take his place.
While the past year has been one of
progress we should not lose sight of the
fact that we are far behind the people in
the United States on this subject, and a
great work is yet to be done here before a
good public sentiment is brought about in
favor of temperance in these islands.
According to yesterday's Advertiser 4S

GENERAL SECRETARY'S REPORT.
Mr. President and Fellow Workers:—In two days it will be eighteen years
since a small but noble band of young
men met in Olympic Hall on Nuuanu
street, and organised this Association.
Most of that little company are still with
us, but they have ceased to be young men.
'They are now heads of families, and
in the business life of
this Kingdom. 'They are still identified
with the Association and generously contribute time and money to further its work,
but the working force of this Association
should be made up largely of the young
men of today. Some of our resident
young men have gone, others have come;
by the exchange we have not always been
the gainers. Still there are among us a
large number of young men who ought to
be vitally connected with this institution,
making it the doorway to an active Christian life and a Church home. For this is
the object of all our work.
During the last twelve months as we
have labored along this line we have found

as it ought to be; but with the present
claims upon our members for work not
under our auspices, it is hard to find men
or time available for enlargement.
The membership of the Association one
year ago was 210, since then fifteen voting
members and thirty-two associate members
have joined, making a total of forty seven
new members for the year; notwithstanding
this apparent gain, the changes in our
population have been so great that with
the few wh I have failed to renew, our present membership is reduced to 196.
There have been eleven business meet
ings of the Association; total attendance
269; average twenty-four.
There have been ten meetings of the
Board of I Mrectors; total attendance fiftytwo; average live.
'The Y. M. C. A. boys have had a prosperous year, and graduated one of their
number into the present Association, at
the March meeting. Mrs. F. J. Lowrey,
the former efficient President, has resigned,
and her place has been taken by Mrs. W.
K. Merritt of Oahu College, under whose
wise and enthusiastic management these
juveniles are sure to flourish.
A branch work in the interest of Hawaiian young men has been undertaken
which promises well. 'The Queen Emma
residence having been rented and put in
thorough order was formerly opened on
Saturday evening, March 12th. 'The exercises of the evening were interesting and
much enthusiasm was manifested by the
large number of natives present Educational classes, a debating society, and a
Gospel Temperance meeting are held
weekly and well attended. 'The reading
rooms are well patronized, especially in
the evenings. 'Two rooms in the same
building have been fitted up for Japaneseyoung men; and they prove a bright center
of attraction to many who gather for instruction, to read, or play games. A gen
erous amount of Japanese reading matter
has been provided by the Consul and
other friends of the work.
One of the most important and helpful
events 01 the year was the visit of Mr. R
T. Booth, the Gospel 'Temperance Fvang

many encouragements and much for which
to be thankful. To-night we pause for a
little to look backward over the way we
have come, and if may be, to catch fresh
inspiration for the duties before us.
Most of the Committees have been
quite faithful to the work assigned them,
especially the Committees on Devotional
work, 'Temperance, Reading Room and
Finance. Some of the Committees have
not been remarkably successful as a whole,
but a few of the individual members of
each, have done good work.
The Entertainment Committee started
off well at the beginning of the year, but
soon showed signs of weakness caused
mainly by the loss sustained in the removal to London of Mr. T. H. Davies,
the former energetic chairman. This is
an important Committee and we hope for
better things from the new one during the
coming year.
'The Committee on Visitation has made
weekly calls at the hospital, ministering to
the needs of the sick yonng men as opportunity afforded. During a part of the
year the prison has also been visited regularly.
Business depression has made it impossible to find employment for only a small
proportion of the large number of applicants, yet the Committee feel they have
done what they could, and several young
men hold good positions to-day as a result.
During the first of the year our experience with a Welcome Committee was well
calculated to develope some of the strong
Christian graces, especially one. I teparture
from the city deprived us of the few to be
"counted on," and the work of the Committee has since been continued on general
principals with quite as good success, the
Secretary acting as chairman of an unorganized Committee. A goodly number ot
young men have thus been induced to
pass their evenings in conversation, or
over the social games in the parlor. 'The
new game of Crokonole, a present from
Mr. J. B. Atherton, procured in the East,
seems to be the favorite.
A few destitute young men have been
provided with rooms, food and clothing,
and in three instances with medical at-
�sociation, and personally as well, to thank
all the friends who have so kindly and
generously contributed time, means, ability and influence to forward our efforts in
the interest of young men; especially those
who have aided the Hawaiian branch enterprise. 'The press of the city deserve
special mention for their uniform kindness
and helpful notices of our work.
Our best service has been consciously
imperfect, but we gratefully remember the
source of our strength in the past, and lock
out into the new year with hope, trusting
in Him who hath said: "I the Lord thy
God will hold thy right hand, saying unto
thee, fear not; I will help thee."
As officers and members let us be careful not to lose our individuality in the
organized body, or shift to it the responsibility that belongs to each personally; and
may God impress upon each worker of
this Association the importance of reaching and saving the individual young man.

PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.
THE WORKING OF THE LEAVEN.
Edward Everett Hale has written a
beautiful story entitled "In His Name."
It places the reader back several hundred
years, when the Church of Rome was so
jealously guarding her every interest, even
to the extent of extreme persecution of
those who thought and acted independently
of her teachings. In short it is an imaginative picture of the Waldenscs, and of
the severities they were obliged to undergo
for conscience sake.
A little girl lies
sick and dying; her physician believes help
can come only from one man; but this
man rests under the special condemnation
of the church, and is among the mountains
at a considerable distance in hiding; a
messenger is secretly dispatched to the
exile, and the story consists chiefly in a
description of this messenger's journey.
His way is peculiarly obstructed by difficulties which he cannot altogether foresee.
At the very outset the guards of Church
and State are on duty, and they must be
passed. 'The messenger is in trouble,
when he, almost unconsciously as it
were, appeals " In His Name" to be permitted to go on. No sooner are the words
"In His Name "used than the guard, "In
His Name" grants the request. Antl all
along the journey, as difficulty after difficulty comes, the quietly expressed "In
His Name" serves as countersign and
help. 'The words are as magic. Friends
of the exile, who are inclined to protect
the secrets of his hilling, and to mislead
all who seem to be from the church, atl
vance the messenger in answer to the
words of wonderful (tower, In His Name.''
Finally the errand isaccomplished and the
little girl's life is laved. And the whole is
to illustrate the working of the leaven,
Christ's love, with its cementing power.
No one of hostile intent could break
through the impenetrable wall of protection, with which the friends of the exile,
for the love of Christ," had surrounded
him. And yet one friendly disposed,
"
"
[May,

44
could for the love of Christ," and In
His Name " reach him.
A second story of interest by Edward
Everett Hale is entitled "'Ten 'Times One
is Ten." A number of people are at a
station awaiting the train. 'They have
been attending the funeral of a man whom
they have all loved in common. They are
unknown to each other, but while waiting,
each recalls and speaks of some special
act of kindness, or some characteristic of
Harry Wadsworth whom they have buried.
Though no pre-arranged agreement, or
organization, is made by these ten, whom
he has influenced for good, still each one
of the number determines to adopt and
put in practice the life principles of their
common friend. It happens that, at the
end of a year, a comparison is made among
them, and it is found that each of the
original ten has influenced ten others to
adopt the same principles. So that now
the number is one hundred. Again, at
the end of a second year, each of the one
hundred has gained ten more. And one
thousand is the number. And so it runs;
on the "Ten 'Times One" principle, as
year after year passes, the number of those
who have adopted the principles of Harry
Wadsworth, becomes ten thousand, one
hundred thousand, ten hundred thousand,
or a milli >n, ten million, &c And the
story is intersperced with incidents—where
strangers are brought together under peculiar circumstances,—perhaps through
some accident of wreck—and in some
mysterious or unexpected manner it is
discovered that each is a Harry Wadsworth
man, whereupon each feels a peculiar
warmth and cordiality toward the other.
The whole is intended to illustrate the
working of the Leaven, Christ's love, together with the unending and ever increasing influence of every person's life.
As a pebble, dropped in a pool of water,
creates circles which hnaliy reach the
banks that enclose it, so every individual's
influence, small as it may seem is limited
only by the confines of Eternity itself. Or
as Carlyle expresses it:
"It is a high and solemn and almost
beautiful thought, to every individual man,
that his earthly influence, which has had a
commencement will ne\er through all ages
(were he the meanest of us) have an end."
The working of the leaven is the quiet
working of ideas. Chri.st, himself, in
warning against the leaven of the Pharisees, explained it as "Beware of their doctrines." These ideal pictures by Edward
Everett Hale, of the "Working of the Leav-
"
"
en of Christ's love," find their verification
to-day in many existing organizations whose
aims and objects are worthy. When we
consider the small beginnings of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Unien,
and then look at the strength of its organization of to-day, and the magnitude of its
operations, how the working of the Leaven
of Christian temperance is circling the
globe, then it is that we are forcibly reminded of the "unending influence" and
"cementing power of Christ's love." " In
His Name" is also their magic touchstone
1887.'
of power. Again when we consider the
Chautauquan movement, commenced only
nine years ago at Chautauqua in Western
New York by Dr. J. H. Vincent, for the
promotion of intelligence and culture
among the masses, and thensee how many
have taken hold of the idea and have improved the advantages offered through it,
it seems but another illustration of the
quiet working of the Leaven. Why? We
are told that " without lofty promises at its
beginning, or ostentation during its progress, it pursued its way and gained such
an increase that its very first class after a
four years course of study graduated with
nearly two thousand members. And that,
at that time, its enrolled students numbered nearly thirty thousand, and were
found not only in every State and Territory of the Union, but in every quarter of
the globe." Dr. Vincent, in the conception and execution of his idea, touches
upon the lives of many, and admirably
illustrates from real life, Edward Everett
Hale's "Ten 'Times One."
Again Robert Raikes in his conception
of the idea of the Sabbath School sends
his influence on unendingly. When we
see the vast proportions to which the Sabbath School has grown, and how it is
bound the world over, by one common
series of " International Lessons," we find
but another illustration of the working of
the Leaven of Christ's love, with its unending and cementing power.
It is but a step to pass from the Sabbath
School to the Church and briefly examine
the working of the Leaven there. As to
the point of increase in numbers, for
Christianity resulting from home, and missionary efforts of the various denominations of the Christian Church, we have the
statement that at the end of one thousand
years there were fifty millions of people
under Christian governments. In A. D.
1500 there were one hundred millions;
doubled in five hundred years. In A. 1).
1800 there were two hundred millions;
doubled in three hundred years. In A. D.
1880 there were four hundred millions;
doubled in eignt years, or more gain in the
last eight years than in the previous
eighteen hundred years." And to-day we
are told by Sir Monier Williams, Professor
of Sanskrit in Oxford University, "that,
Christianity now stands at the head of the
world in the number of its adherents;"
"that the common impression in regard to
the numerical preponderance of Buddhists
in the world is entirely incorrect; and that
the number of Confucianists is greatly
overstated.'' In Burmah we learn that
" Buddhism is in arms against Christianity.
The priests have led their men on the
battle field —a thing unprecedented in
history." 'The Karen Christians regard
God as the Leader of their hosts. In
their prayers they remind Him, that the
conflict was raised against Him by the
priests of Buddhism. They say: "They
(the priests) could not reach up to overthrow your throne in the heavens, and so
they try to hurl you from your church in
Burmah. It is for your own self interest to
"

help us, for they hate us only because they
first hated you, our glorious Head." And
on the eve of battle the prayer is continued:
" To-morrow give us cool heads, strong
arms, and steady fingers on our triggers,
and give us a chance to measure with
these idolaters, not our weapons or our
bravery, but their wooden gods against our
glorious Jehovah." 'The writer of this,
In every case the Karens have
says:
shown how a man fights whose heart is
nerved by a perfect trust in the Lord of
hosts." He says: " I have never seen
such quiet assurance of faith in Gi d as
nerves their hearts now. Ten years of
preaching would never build them up in
faith as the wondeiful deliverances God
has wrought for us in these bloody days.
They say ' we now know we have a God
fit to be trusted, and infinitely greater than
we had supposed.'"
Outside of the mere point of numbers,
we give for a moment a glance at the
results of Christianity in other directions.
It is said: "'The miracles of Christ are
the types of what Christianity is doing on
a far larger scale than could be done in
Palestine. 'The kindly feeling, the desire
to hep, the increased skill which springs
up under Christianity, as (lowers and fruits
grow in the sunshine, has made Christ's
works through his pcoplts greater than
those He wrought on earth. 'They are not
miracles, but are better than the power of
miracles, as the prolonged sunshine is
better than the flash of lightning. Blind
asylums have opened many eyes, and
caused people to read and work even
without sight. Hospitals have cured and
cared for multitudes of sick and insane.
We cannot raise the dead to life, but the
average length of life has been greatly increased. In the United States alone the
Philanthropists sum up the results of Christian care for the poor—the orphans, little
"
wanderers, insane, sick, foundlings, cripples, drunken outcasts, children, —as
amounting to at least one hundred an
twenty million dollars ($120,000,000) a
year." Such is the working of the leaven
of Christianity in the churches.
Bit at this Ant.ual Meeting of our Association, it is tptite natural and pro] or to
ask, what about our own department of
Christian work—the "Y. M. C. A?" Howhas the leaven been working with the
Noting Men's Christian Associations in
general, and our own association in particular? It may be interesting and profitable
for us to Study the beginning, progress and
results 'of Association work. And at the
outset I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Secretary Fuller lor placing in
my hands reports from which 1 have
gathered the following facts; first, observe
the quietness of the beginning: " In the
year 1841, Mr. George Williams, then a
young man of about twenty years of age,
sought and obtained employment in one
of the then great mercantile houses of
London. He found about one hundred
and fifty other young men employed by
the same house. Almost all there spent
their unemployed hours at the " free-and
easies." Young Williams organized a
3
prayer meeting in his own bed-room, with
one other Christian clerk. 'There were
several clerks who occupied the same
room. Mr. Williams says, in speaking of
the beginning of this work: "If our
room-mates did not choose to stay during
the time we had our meetings, they retired,
but we made it a great privilege to attend.
We got the room crammed in answer to
prayer. 'The spirit of God came down,
and we saw conversion after conversion.
'The band increased, a Bible class, a mutual
improvement society, was formed, and the
good «'as so great that we naturally said to
ourselves, ' If God has blessed us by these
Simple means, why should He not give
such blessing in other houses in London?'
We wrote to a friend we knew, a Christian,
who came forward, and we consulted with
him about the formation of what has since
become the Voting Men's Christian Association of the present day. In my own
bed-room the first consultation was held.
Associations were soon organized in other
houses and in other cities. It was not
until ten years later, December 9th, 1851,
that the first Association was organized in
America at Montreal. 'Twenty days later,
by direct suggestion from London, and
without the knowledge of the Montreal
Association, an Association was organized
ten other orin Boston." "During
ganizations were effected from which time
the oreanization has grown in numbers,
definiteness of aim, plans of work, and
power among the Christian forces of the
world." until now " a world's convention
is held triennially in Europe." This convention appoints a World's Central International Committee. 'There are in the
neighborhood of two thousand and seven
hundred Associations in the world. And
they are established in twenty-six different
countries. In the United States and the
Dominion of Canada alone, there are
1066 Associations, eight hundred and
ninety-six of which report an aggregate
membership of about 135,000, and a total
net property of $5,040,178. Special effort
is made to reach the (1,600,000) railroad
men of the United States through the Y.
M. C. A. We have Secretary Ingersoll of
the International Committee of America,
Secretary of the railroad department, as authority for the statement that "railroad
corporations in this country (the United
States) are putting into the Evangelical
Church, through the Y. M. C. A., more
than $60,000 a year, with which to do
Christian work, and while that is done
from B purely business stand point, it is
worth to the Church as much as if she gave
every penny of it." And illustrative of the
value of Y. M. C. A. work to railroad
interests, as well as the interests of the
general public, among other incidents he
relates the following: " One day the lightning express on the Pennsylvania road was
coming down the mountain at the rate of
sixty miles an hour, and the train came to
a stop, suddenly and yet quietly. Some
how everybody was surprised. 'There was
no jar, but they knew something was
wrong. They rushed out and were horrified to find that the train had stopped
45
within ten feet of the edge of a fearful
chasm. 'The engineer, in blouse and over
alls, was down on his knees uncoupling,
but pretty soon in answer to a question he
looked up and taking off his cap, reverently,
he says:"The Lord stopped this train."
An old engineer who was riding with hira,
says: "No man could have stopped it."
The engineer says: "We had a little
prayer meeting, as we are accustomed to
do, before we started. We asked the
Lord to help us run this tram safely, and
He has done it." Three years before
that, that man spent his leisure time in
the beer saloons of Altoona. When a
committee of the Y. M. C. A. came to
him to ask him if they might have a
cottage meeting at his house, he said
" yes," and then he was sorry that he had
given them permission, and he thought
about it so much that when the night came
he put the light out, took his wife and
went to the theatre, and there was no
meeting. But he was ashamed of it afterwards, and was man enough to go to the
committee and apologize and ask their
pardon. He asked them to come again,
and they came, and the Lord came with
them, and he was led to ask: "What
shall I do to be saved?" and he is the man
that said "the Lord stopped the train."
Thank God, says Mr. Ingersoll, there are
scores and hundreds of such cases in this
God has set the seal of His
country.
approval wonderfully on this work."
It has been truly said of the Y. M. C. A.
that "in its relation to the Church it is
simply and entirely auxiliary. In fact it is
the Church reaching out undenominationally after the unsaved young men." In
some instances the Y. M. C. A. accomplishes what the Church cannot. A recent
report from China from a missionary states
that he has been able to reach the Chinese
of his district, only through the agency of
a Y. M. C. A. which he has established.
From the Tenth Annual Report of the
Atlanta Association, Georgia, we cull the
following opinions, as to the work and
results. As to the work in England, Samuel Morley, Esq., M. P., says: " 'There is
not an organization in England, at the
present time, of greater practical value, or
so full of promise, as the Young Men's
Christian Association." As to the work
in America; the Harpers Weekly says:
"The Young Men's Christian Association
is an institution, the very mention of whose
name should cause the breast of every
American citizen ta thrill with pride and
emotion." Bishop Peck, in the History of
The Great Republic, p. 558, says of the
Young Men's Christian Association: "No
other agency has yet been discovered in
which are combined, to the same extent,
those desirable constituent elements
Catholicity, economy, originality, progressiveness, efficiency, sympathy and vitality."
College President E.R.Hendrix says: "After
considerable observation and reflection, I
have ventured to call the great work of the
Young Men's Christian Association the religious movement of the nineteenth century.
It has already become a vital part of other
institutions, confessedly permanent, as
—
�46
colleges and railroads. Its organization is
wonderfully complete, and shows great
adaptability. The hand of God is manifestly at work in such a, way that it cannot
come to naught. The little cloud which I
began closely to observe some sixteen
(now 19) years ago, when there were only
sixty Associations in our land, with less
than 16,000 members, and not a single
building of their own, is slowly overspreading the sky. It has adjusted itself to the
great existing Church as a co-worker without claiming itself to be a church, and has
the confidence of all the leading divines of
all Churches.'' Among some of the results claimed, are the following: "The
Christian Commission with its employed
army of 4,859 missionaries, and distribution of $5,652,753 in cash and stores, and
its untold wealth of cheer and blessing,
had its birth in the Young Men's Christian
Association." "'The Society for the Suppression of Vice, which has originated and
secured stringent legislation in the United
States for the suppression of obscene literature, and laid its hands of power on those
who would pollute our best beloved, had
its birth in the Young Men's Christian
Association." "'The system of International Sunday School lessons, which has
been such a blessing to the present generation, had its birth in the Young Men's
Christian Association." " Mr. D. L.
Moody, who has been in the hands of
God, a greater blessing to the Christian
Church and a sinful world than any other
man of his years living, says that he is
more indebted to the Young Men's Christian Association than any other organization for his training in Christian work."
As we look at the magnitude of the
Young Men's Christian Association of today, and see how it is bound together the
world over by the one common tie, the
love of Christ, it is but another verification
from real life of Edward Everett Hale's
story, "In His Name."
Again as we look at its constantly increasing growth, the end of which is not
discernible to human vision, the principle
involved in Mr. Hale's second story "Ten
Times One" is again proven from real life.
For Mr. Williams, in his original conception of the idea of "Christian Association
for Young Men," is no less to the Y. M.
C. A. in his unending and ever increasing
influence, than Dr. Vincent is to the Chautauquan movement. The courageous action of the young man ol twenty, who,
finding one other willing to help him,
kneels down in a room full of godless
young men, results in fullest realization of
the promise, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in
the midst of them." Surely "a little
leaven leaveneth the whole lump."
And now, briefly, for the home ques
tions, what has been the working of the
leaven with ourselves in the past, and what
may we expect for oilr future ?
Our Constitution bears date April 30th,
1869, so that now we are, as an organization, eighteen years of age.
Our beginning was a very quiet one.
[May, 1887.
THE FRIEND
Our founders, only ten in number, did not
make themselves unduly public. So far as
we can find they did not advertize in any
manner our organization in the one religious journal of Honolulu; and, in turn,
The Friend did not even mention the
simple fact of our existence, until over
fourteen months had passed. 'This was
undoubtedly an oversight on the part of
both organization and paper.
In September, in 1870, we secured the
last page of The Friend for our own editing. 'This arrangement continues to-day.
The first editorial stated the aims and objects of our organization as "doing good
to men." 'These aims are the same today. The general plan of work in the
tarlier years of our history was much the
same as it is to day. A reading room was
supported in the Sailors' Home. A Sunday afternoon prayer meeting was conducted. 'The hospitals were visited.
Reading matter was furnished them.
Special work for the Chinese was undertaken, which work was later passed into
the hands of the Hawaiian Board. And
now the Chinese have an Association and
a building of their own, the only Chinese
Association in the world possessing a
building. Out door, or open air preaching services were held upon the wharves.
Our first open air service was held in November, 1870, Rev. Mr. McCully preached
from the text: " Ho every one that thirsteth." About two hundred were present.
By way of entertainment, public lectures
weie held in Buffam's and Olympic Halls.
Regular monthly business meetings took
place then as now, at which the monthly
reports of standing committees were made.
Then, the duty of members to be on hand
at the reading room as a sort of Reception
Committee, was a troublesome question as
it is to-day. 'Then the expenses, were the
expenses of the reading room chiefly, and
amounted to only $300 a year. Now we
need that much a month, making over
$3,000 a year, which fact indicates our
growth, dnd again illustrates, in another
way, the principle of " Ten 'Times One."
As we have learned from our General Secretary's report this evening, we have recently started a branch work among the
native population of our city. 'The large
and beautiful residence of the late Queen
Emma has been obtained for the purpose.
To-day we have a largely increased and a
constantly ir.creasing membership roll.
We possess a beautiful and commodious
house. It is more than a house. It is
home. We have a leader to direct our
efforts. Our prayer meetings are more
largely attended. And finally we have a
recognized and established position in the
city. With such results as these we cannot question our right to an existence.
But what may we expect for our future?
Our leader cannot do everything for us;
neither can our building. Hence the answer forces itself home to our convictions,
we must have more of the leaven of spirituality, if we would have life and success.
It has been pertinently asked of the Y.
M. C. A., "what is your splendid machin-
cry without the throbbing power of God
pulsing through it?" With the Watchman
we say: "The need is of intelligent, consecrated young men. A man is more than
bricks and mortar. An immortal soul,
with all its deathless energies, is more than
real estate. A fully equipped building,
with a large membership, is not a Young
Men's Christian Association; these are but
the utensils, out of which one may be
made. In the building and equipments
we have the facilities of work. In the
membership attracted by them we have
the material out of which to create an
association. But this material must be
organized. 'The mass must be spiritualized. 'The working machinery, of which
every wheel is a living soul, must be carefully wrought out and harmoniously set a
going. 'Then there will be a Christian
Association." There is a great work before this, our own, Association. Not only
the young men of Honolulu of to-day, but
their greater number of the future, must
Society, home, commerce,
be saved.
the Church, duty, and Christ, each and
all, demand it." Are we ready for the
call? 'True, the difficulties are great, but
they are no greater than " those that stand
in the way tit all Christian work; viz., the
mighty power of sin and satan, and the
insufficiency of human strength and wi.s
dam." Surely our difficulties are no more
than met
that handful of men in that
upper chamber; ignorant, crude, unlettered
fishermen that they were, and to whom
it was given to revolutionize the world; to
triumph even against the gates of hell.'
Their work is ours. Their marching orders: ''do preach the Gospel," are also
ours. "We can not reach young men
alone. Our need cries out importunately
unto Gcid. We are not left to gloom and
darkness. Power divine may supplement
human strength. Tis God that gives the
increase. He makes human insufficient)
sufficient." Thus works the leaven.

SOWING AND REAPING.
It was spring-time in the land. Our
Lord was sitting weary by a well. In the
absence of His disciples, who had gone to
the city to buy food, Ile had an interview
with a woman of Samaria. On their
return the disciples urged Him to eat of
the food which they had brought. The
Master answered: "My meat is to do
the will of Him that sent Me and to finish
His work." To supply His physical wants
was lost sight of for the moment as He
thought of His high mission and the
spiritual needs of humanity. Then as He
surveyed the fields around Him, He asks :
Say not ye, there are yet four months,
and then cometh harvest ?" And as He
sees the Samaritans coming from their city
to meet Him, urged to this by the woman
who had said: "Come, see a man who
told me all things that ever I did; is not
this the Chrjst ?" He directs these words
to the disciples: " Behold, I say unto
you, lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields; for they are white already to harvest." Continuing the illustration our
Lord gives all Christian workers the encouraging assurance that they who are
one with Him in sympathy and earnest
and untiring effort shall be rewarded.
"And he that reapeth receiveth wages,
and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that
both he that soweth and he that reapeth
may rejoice together." Then as He thinks
of His own relation to The cause which He
came to espouse and of theirs, He says:
And herein is that saying true, One
soweth and another reapeth."
"
"
1887.
Prophets and messengers had heralded
His coming. He Himself was the great
Sower, and those coming after Him are
privileged to go forth and gather in the
harvest. "I sent you," He says to the
disciples, "to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor; other men labored and
ye are entered into their labors." Thus
our Lord leads one woman to believe in
Him as the promised Messiah. The seed
that is sown grows up and results in a
bountiful harvest of conversions. The
sacred penman thus relates it in the Acts:
"Then Philip went down to the city of
Samaria and preached Christ unto them.
And the people with one accord gave heed
unto those things which Philip spake,
hearing and seeing the miracles which he
did. And there was great joy in that
city." And this in turn prepared the way
for the conversion of the gentiles.
The saying, " One soweth and another
reapeth," may be one found in some of
the Greek writers. Similar proverbs were
in use among the Jews It is possible
that the reference may have been to the
words of Joshua to Israel, which bear a
striking resemblance to this saying of our
Lord:
I have given you a land for
which ye did net labor and cities which ye
built not, and ye dwell in them; of the
vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted
not do ye eat."
But whatever may be the source of the
saying, it expresses a truth that is observable everywhere around us and which is
verified by all history.
To illustrate: One man, or a few men,
are captivated by a great thought. The
advocacy of it becomes the chief aim and
ruling passion of their lives. At first men
do not notice it, then laugh at it. But
instead of dying an early death it has come
to stay, advancing on its mission. Like
the seed it has taken root; like leaven it
works; the storm rages around it, but it
lifts up its head; onward it goes, conquering and to conquer until eventually it
shall with complete triumph be crowned.
There have in every age been those
whose mission it has been to sow in
tears, that others might reap in j«y. Yes,
herein is that saying true,
One soweth
and another reaptjth." The men of a
"
"

former century laid the solid and enduring
foundation of the American Government,
a government "of the people, by the people and for the people," on which the
glorious edifice of that fine and prosper
ous nation now rests. The people of today reap what those before them sowed.
Others labored and they have entered into
their labors. In the civil war thousands
laid down theirlives, that the Nation might
not die but live and take higher rank than
ever before among the powers of the earth.
Thus some sow the seed and others reap
the harvest.
In spiritual things the saying expresses
the fact that the relation which the Christian sustains to the cause of Christ is one
of work. In seasons of communion with
God the spirit desires to linger in that
high and holy atmosphere, even as the
disciples longed to remain with their
Master on the Mount t»f Transfiguration.
But the summons is:
To the work, to the work, we are servants of God,
Let us follow the path that oar Master has trod.
There are few successful business men
who have not had care and toil for their
partners. Men, who in the various departments of life have risen to success i
have battled earnestly with the obstacles
No Christian can overcome
in the way.
sin and triumph over temptation and his
evil propensities without a struggle. The
work to which God has called, us demands
all our energies. No other work is so
great or s 3 solemn. It burdened the
soul of an apostle; it might tax the powers
of an angel. There is a work which every
one is to do for himself. There are
besides duties that he owes to his fellowmen and to God. The Master had the
right spirit for the work. He expressed it
thus: "My meat is to do the will of Him
that sent Me and to finish His work.''
Jesus had His whole heart in this work; it
sustained and strengthened Him. But we
get into ruts and do the work mechanically. Yet. not when we have to be forced
to the work, but only when the heart is
in it can we do acceptable and efficient
service for the cause of Christ.
It is admitted by all who profess the
Christian religion that no other cause is so
great or so deserving of our supreme efforts
as the cause and Kingdom of Jesus. O,
�THE
28
what great things God has wrought since
Christ conversed at the well with the
woman of Samaria I As we survey the fieldi
which is the world, the facts are, that the
Bible has been translated into all the principal languages and in many dialects. As
on the Pentecostal day, so may the nations at this time say: "And now hear
we every man in our own tongue, wherein
we were born." The Christian church not
only has access to all parts of the earth,
but we have to-day a multitude s>f missions
established in every quarter of the globe.
Everywhere the nations of the earth are
opening their doors to receive the teachers
and preachers of the Gospel. The calls
from every part of the globe, are: " Come
orer and help us!" Never have the encouragements to prayerful and increased
endeavor been so great as they are ta day.
A man who reaps his field considers himself awarded for his labor, because he lays
up in his barns wealth which will support
him through the years. But the Christian
Church is now gathering from the fields of
idolatry, ignorance and sin, " fruit until
life eternal," a harvest of souls for the
kingdom of glory. And the day is fast
hastening when all the earth shall echo
and re-echo Christ's triumph and reign
over all the kingdoms of time.
The three sisters, India, Siam and Laos;
cultured and progressive Japan; China, of
which it is said, that if all the people of
all the world can be imagined as standing
abreast, in a single line, so that they could
just touch one another, that line would be
about 500,000 miles long, long enough to
reach around the earth twenty times, and
if you could pass in front of that line and
look on each face, at least one man in
evary four you would see, would be a
Chinaman;" Europe, our mother; Africa,
where the march of events is so rapid, that
the maps made yesterday are inaccurate
to-day and will be obsolete to-morrow;"
Syria, the country of the Savior's birth;
pantheistic Persia; South America, with its
pleading cry for help; our beloved America
and the islands of the sea, evangelized and
redeemed, shall all welcome Jesus, with
thousands of souls saved by His love; the
whole world shall see the promise of the
Father" fulfilled, enjoy a great Pentecostal
revival and shout the harvest home.
That we may witness the realization of
this plan of God for which the ages have
longed we must watch the signs of the
times, preach the gospel, be instant in

The fields are all ripening, and far and wide
The world now is waiting the harvest tide;
So come with your sickles, ye sons of men,
And gather together the golden grain.
It should be everyone's high resolve to
be personally and actively identified with
the great plans and movements of God.
The invitation to share in the work here
and in the rewards hereafter is extended
to everyone, whether rich or poor, high or
low. The cause of God is like a golden
chain running through the centuries. If
we will, we may by personal consecration
and endeavor be a link in this great chain
of divine accomplishment. The cause of
God is like a costly and colossal edifice
that is rising and advancing toward completion. In this work everyone is invited
to take part, that soon the last stone maybe crowned with the smile of the Lord's
approval. As time is measured by days
and hours, so is there a division of labor
and to every man is assigned his share
and work in the Ringdon of God. And
when the toil of time shall be ended and
the rewards of the future bestowed the
sower and the reaper shall together rejoice.
OUR AGENCIES FOR GOD AND
HUMANITY.
The modern temperance movement is
rapidly and successfully making its way
into all circles of influence. The latest
papers from our own State, Michigan, are
full of the earnest efforts put forth to carry
on the 4th instant, the prohibitory amendment to the Constitution, which has been
passed by a large majority by the House
and the Senate, and of which the following is the text:
That the manufacture, gift, or sale of spirituous, malt, or vinous liquors in the State, except
for medicinal, mechanical, chemical, or scientific
"
purposes, is prohibited;
That the Legislature shall enact laws with
suitable penalties for the suppression of the manufacture, sale, and keeping forsale or gift of intoxicating liquors except as specified; and
That the said proposition shall be submitted
to the electors of the State at the next spring election, to take place on the first Monday in April,
A. D. 1887."
"
"
The plan, at all points heard from, was
to make March a month of ceaseless labor
to carry the day for the amendment in
April. Writes a leading clergyman in the
State: "Let our March with its clouds
and bluster anticipate the sunny days of
April in every best sense. The whole
i
•»
M
country is looking at Michigan. What we
do in March and in early April, for the
prohibition of that traffic which is cursing
our homes, will not only tell upon us and
upon our children but upon the whole
land."
We notice that men and women are
united in this endeavor to protect the
home. From the beginning the temper
ance movement has had the individed
support of pure, noble-hearted, philan
thropic ladies. We invite attention in this
number of Thk Friend to
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
This organization is the outgrowth of
the Woman's Temperance Crusade of
1873. It was born of faith and its devel
opment has been truly marvelous.
It numbers in the States more than
Its leaders are among

the grandest women of this age or of any
other.
The national president Miss Frances K.
Willard commands the respect and admi
ration of all good men and women everywhere. Her name is a household word
in thousands of homes and none know
her but to love and honor her. Unions
have been formed in every State and
almost every town in the United States.
"The object ol this organization is to
educate public opinion up to the standard
of total abstinence, train the young; save
the inebriate and secure the legal prohibition and complete banishment of the
liquor traffic."
Two efficient women have been sent out
by the National Union to lecture and
organize unions. Mrs. Mary C. Leavitt,
westward, and Miss Charlotte Grey, eastward.
Mrs. Leavitt so fitly called our-round
the-world ambassador is now in China.
Success has marked her progress as she
has gone from one country to another.
It will be remembered by the people of
Honolulu that this lady was in this city in
the fall of 1884, lecturing on temperance
and before her departure for the Colonies,
a union was organized, called:
"The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union of the Hawaiian Islands." It began
with about forty ladies and has increased
to about 75 active members with an honorary membership of fifteen or twenty.
The officers of this W. C. T. U. are the
President, Mrs. J. M. Whitney; Vice
Presidents, Mrs. J. A. Cruzan, Mrs. E.
C. Oggel, Mrs. E. VV. Jordan; Recording
Secretary, Mrs. R. Jay Greene; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. W. C. Merritt; Treasurer, Mrs. L. B. Coan.
We have several departments of work
and an efficient lady is at the head of each
department. Work among Hawaiians has
been successfully carried on by Miss Mary
Green. She has organized nineteen societies with a membership of 1,019.
Their blue ribbon society meets in
Queen Emma Hall on every Friday even-
�THE FRIEND.
April, 1887.]
ing. On Saturday evenings the foreign
blue nbboners meet in the Y. M. C. A.
Hall.
The exercises of both Societies are of
the same general character. The badge
of the W. C. T. U. is the white ribbon and
many of our members wear the white and
the blue.
Another department of great importance is the juvenile work. This society
numbers about sixty. Their ages range
from five to fourteen. The nationalities
represented are American, English, Scandanavian, Portuguese and German.
There is some good work done in the
Sunday Schools. Much temperance literature is distributed at different places, but
chiefly among sailors. There have been
gospel temperance meetings held on the
wharves and one on shipboard.
Through the efforts of the Union the
Health Primer has been translated into
Hawaiian and is now in process of printing
and when completed will be introduced into
all the Government schools as a text-book.
Temperance will thus be taught the children and the evil effects of alcohol impressed upon them. More than sixteen
thousand leaflets have been printed in the
native language.
The society has expended in carrying
on its work the past year over five hundred
dollars. And they hope to accomplish in
the present year much more in this grand
work. "For God and Home and Human-
a precious truth and many a great and
noble cause.
He went to Brooklyn in September,
1847. From that time his fame as a
preacher has been world-wide. He has
held one of the largest congregations on
the continent by his personal magnetism
and his pulpit power, in spite of the declaration of theological errors which would
have shocked that grand old theologian,
his sainted father, Lyman Beecher. Lightly
let the ashes lie upon his mouldering body.
He was a man, take him for all in all;
we shall not look upon his like again."
To this we would add that the Brooklyn
Magazine contains some of Mr. Beecher's
latest sermons, one of which closes thus:
I see coming a new heaven and a new
earth, grander views and higher experiences. We cannot foresee, we do not
know what is going to happen; but one
thing we do know, that ('.od reigns, and
that the true light has been so far disclosed
that no raven wing can sweep it back
again. Once let the sun come over the
east and you cannot stop it; it will ride
triumphant through the whole day, shining
brighter and brighter to the end. The
rising light of knowledge; the rising light
of true religion; the rising light of liberty
and regenerative manhood has come, it
has come to stay; and the whole earth
shall see the salvation of our God.

HENRY WARD BEECHER.
It seems strange that this man of fine
physical frame and seemingly inexhaustible mental resources is no longer among
men. Mr. Beecher has been so long and
prominently before the public that any
sketch of his life would be to write what
everybody already knows. We make
room however for the following tribute
from the correspondent of The Occident,
San Francisco:
The Henry Ward Beecher of forty years
ago was a widely different man in many
respects from the pastor of Plymouth
Church, and yet he was noted then for
some of the peculiarities that have marked
his subsequent career. He would often
say and do things that were a sore trial to
the more conservative members of his
flock. But he was so genial, so frank and
at times even so spiritual and devout that
they readily forgave him. A mother in
Israel, the oldest member of the church,
used to say to me, "Henry did a great
many things that I didn't think were right,
but after all I believe that he is a good
man." This is, no doubt, the verdict of a
large part of the Christian world to-day, as
the great preacher lies in his coffin. He
was eccentric. He startled us now and
then with the announcement of some
heresy in doctrine, but after all we could
not help loving him for his sincerity and
for his manly utterances in behalf of many

hunter's camp for 40 hours; dreaded to go
up into the snow; wanted to turn back,
but finally started for the summit; tethered
the horses at an altitude of 6,600 feet
amid bunch grass and strawberry vines,
ascended the mountain obliquely, passing
from the east side round to the south-west
and striking Mokuaweoweo on the west
side; spent 12 mortal hours of toiling over
the dreadful aa, every step of which awful
pedestrianism was at the peril of a sprained
ankle; was compelled one night to sleep on
the sharp aa; struck snow at 11,000 feet,
the crust of which held up and made good
walking; reached Pele Kahuku, the upper
Mauna Loa outcropping of the late flow,
11,500 ft. above sea level; there was deep
snow beneath and all around; Kanae stops
and makes coffee while I go off a mile to
the west and examine Pele Kahuku.
Toward the smoking Mokuaweoweo, the
"pillar of cloud" we pressed on and up
during the afternoon of February 9th,
snow continually growing deeper and cold
intenser; we must give it up; the sun has
already disappeared in the Kona sea. and
that smoke we want so much to reach is
as far off as ever. Another smoke is seen
close by a very deep crater to the right;
we make for that. Amid sulphur fumes
and darkness I hustle into sleeping bag,
with head at the crater, 500 feet deep; lie
quiet a while in the utter stillness, when
all at once there is an earthquake, and still
lie quiet and pray to God; we know somewhat how Moses felt when " the whole

night do more of moon watching and
thinking than sleeping.
"Htle au ma Mokuaweoweo. Hele oe?"
I call out from my bag at day break, to
which Kanae replies: "Aole hana wav

and a bite of snow for interior stimulation,
my hands in buckskin gloves and two
pairs of woolen socks drawn over them for
outside protection, make I my way towards
the pillar of smoke ahead, reaching the
brink of Mokuaweoweo, not long after
sunrise and looking down into its thousand feet depth, I see at once that the floor
of the crater, near where I slept so comfortably more than a year ago, has been
rent and a fissure formed about four feet
wide, beginning near the middle, extending
towards and disappearing underthe western
wall; tbe column of smoke issues from this
fissure and fresh lava that has been thrown
up, lines and distinctly defines its edges.
The remarkable mineral vein which so
greatly interested me last year seems to
have been broken into and partly taken up
by the fissure.

QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE
WOMAN'S BOARD.
The meetings for the last three months
have been well attended and exceedingly
interesting. Sixty-six ladies were present
in January; fifty-three in February and
thirty-six in March. At the January meeting Mrs. F. VV. Damon's report of work
among the Chinese during their recent
tour around Oahu, gave us much light
upon the present condition of the people.
They found much that reminded them of
China. Worship of idols and burning of
incense was common in many homes.
Many of the women were very homesick.
Those having small feet were kept mostly
at home and were longing to go back to
China. Mrs. Damon's loving words and
kind instructions were cordially received.
In this city, the little chapel has been rebuilt in the burnt district.
Miss M. E. Green reported on work
among Hawaiians. She has now six Bible
readers; and she herself visits from house
to house among the people.
With this
free access to their homes, she learns
much of their condition—some things good
and encouraging; some bad and heart-
sickening.
Business was transacted with reference
to a lady physician, Miss Dr. Ingersoll,
who wishes to go as a missionary to Mi-
cronesia.
At the February meeting Miss Knight
read a letter from Miss Cathcart, now at
her home in Minnesota. Her health has
somewhat improved, but her physicians

Micronesia.
and work of Robert Moffat.
At both January and February meetings
the ladies were addressed by Mrs. A. H.
Smith of North China. With her husband and children she spent a few weeks
here while on their way home to China.
Her topic in January was, "The connection between missionary and medical work in China." Those who know
Mrs. Smith's lively and interesting manner
will understand what a treat we had.
In February she told us how the money
was being raised for building their chapel,
now nearly completed. Their first donation
from abroad was from the little band of
Hawaiian women, who meet weekly for
prayer, at Kaw'aiahao church. Hearing
from Mrs. Dickenson, about the work of
her daughter in China, they sent six dollars as a donation. The astonishment
of the poor Chinese women on the recep
tion of this money from this far away land,
was wonderful. Mrs. Smith gave many
touching incidents of the way in which
they had been helped. After the meeting
was closed, each lady present felt that
she must have a share in this good cause,
and twenty-three dollars was placed in
Mrs. Smith's hands. The story spread
and before Mrs. Smith sailed $120 was in
her hands for the chapel. Further contributions will follow them.
Among the reports of Committees concerning home work, was an interesting
account given by Mrs. S. M. Damon, of a
day spent at Kawaiahao Seminary, in company with Mrs. E. O. Hall.
Responses are coming to the Committee
appointed to make special appeals, for
means to secure Miss Dr. Ingersoll for
Micronesia, and we hope the way is being
made clear for us to assume her support.
Miss Ingersoll is now in California.

JUBILEE ANNIVERSARY.
Editor of the Friend:—April ioth
1887, will be the fiftieth anniversary of the
arrival at these Islands of the largest
missionary reinforcement ever sent by the,
A. B. C. F. M. to this or any field.
Thirty-two consecrated men and women
composed that party, and their influence
upon the religious and moral life of these
Islands was powerful for good.
The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society are planning to celebrate this jubilee
anniversary; to that end they have invited
all the fathers and mothers of the mission
of the American Board to these Islands,
who are still resident here, to gather with
them on that occasion, and fittingly keep
this semi-centennial anniversary of that
historic event.
A detailed programme has not yet been
prepared, but the general plan has been
arranged. On Saturday evening, April
9th, the regular monthly meeting of the
preach. The Board of Managers have not
yet planned for further servii es on that
day, although to do so may seem desirable.
On Monday, April n, there will be a
general gathering of all interested, on the
grounds of Oahu College. The day will
be spent in social reunion and listening to
pa])ers, especially prepared by the honored
survivors of the mission. It is hoped that
the occasion will receive the attention
such an event deserves, and the "Cousins"
resident in Honolulu will gladiy welcome
the "Cousins" resident upon the other
Islands, and it is safe to say that no one
will lack for entertainment who comes to
attend these services.

coming year, and Mrs. McCully will conduct the evangelistic services on Monday
evenings in the yard as heretofore.
Thursday evening, March io, the Church
and congregation met with the Ladies'
Benevolent Society for the annual sociable.
The reports read showed all departments
of Church work during the past year well
sustained. The Treasurer's report showed
a total collection for mission work during
the past year of $1,727.95. To this should
be added $346.40 contributed by the children in the Sunday School, which makes
the totalfor missions by the congregation
$2,070.35. This, of course, makes no
account of what has been given privately
by our members. There has been a gratifying increase in the attendance at the
Sunday School, and the retiring Superintendent, Mr. Atherton, has proved his
efficiency in that arduous position. The

prosperous and promising condition.

LECTURE ON MICRONESIA.
RE, .
BCH.Y.M.WETMOD
(Delivered at I/il», Hawaii, Nov. 7, 1886,
and published by request.)
( Concluded.)
The first sermon preached at Ruk will
help to solve the question. Moses was
the minister, he told them of the one, only
living and true God, who was the only object worthy of their love and adoration; he
is the great Creator of all worjds and of
all human beings of whatever nation or
country; be made the earth, and the sea
and all that in them is; he told them he is
our father and your father, the father of all
people, and although you have strayed
away from him, he is ready to take you,
Rukites, all of you, back into his family,
and make you very happy both here and
hereafter. While we were at Ruk Brother
Logan preached to the few foreigners about
him, (as he does every Sabbath afternoon
when at home,) a choice, simple, plain
gospel sermon. Interspersed and beautified as that genuine archipelago is with
many isles, in time its beauties must and
will be still greater if such labors continue
to be bestowed upon it.
'Three mission families resided and labored assiduously " eight years of night "
on the island of Ponape before the darkness gave way and a 'single convert appeared to cheer them in their work and to
cause angelic joy in the blessed world
above.
Later on in other places the spread of
the gospel was much more rapid in its
progress and called forth gratitude from
many a Christian heart a* they saw spiritual fruit gathered in ; Kusaie took the
foremost rank in this direction ; look at
her people and see adults and youths committing to memory the entire gospel of
John, and afterwards familiarizing themselves with other portions of scripture as
the press gives it to them. Hear them all
over those beautiful Micronesian Islands,
singing their 500 hymns, which are translations of those we esteem most highly ;
mark their strict observance of the Christian Sabbath !
Observe Julia at Etal overcoming"evil
with love and prayer, an example the Missionary says, which it would be well for
wiser and more intelligent Christians to
imitate. Listen to the Kusaians after conversion and hear them thank God that he
has helped them to turn to Him. Listen
again to the Ponape official, who was once
a man of blood, now a man of prayer, sitting as a lamb among his people, and hear
him as he enters Church to attend a preparatory lecture, asking pardon of another
church member for having used some hard
unbrotherly words to him and see the two
completely reconciled, and then tell me
whether or not you believe that God will
justify those heathen through faith in
Jesus Christ. Do you think the people
can ever go back again into idolatry and
its kindred evils ? Certainly they cannot,
and be ignorant of the fact " that they
which do such things shall not inherit the
Kingdom of God."
'The missionaries, native s>nd foreign,
are pressing on with their work. In it
neither will they or the chiefest among
ten thousand ever despair, believing as
they do that great truth, Christ for the
world and the world for Christ."
In closing I will speak of the Morning
Star. Have the people great reason to
feel that they have been cheated in her ?
Yes ! Her sailing capacity is not equal to
that of some of her predecessors, and her
steam pawer, instead of being seven knots
per hour, (as was promised by her builders,) is not over five and she cannot make
headway against a strong current or head
wind ; it is really ef use only when calms
prevail, or you wish an entrance or exit
from a labyrinthian lagoon passage, or to
wind about among numerous coral shoals,
1
scattered all over such atoll lakes.
might also speak of other imperfections,
you have heard of them, but I do not like
to dwell upon this topic.
A chapter of accidents naturally follows
these assertions
Dec. 3, main gaff-neck broke off; 29,
carried away fore-top-gallant trestle-tree.
Jan. 26, p. m. ran on to a coral shoal;
(the 2d day following got afloat again in

March 11, a boiler tube failed us, as
many others had done, and did afterwards
on the voyage; 19, main gaff iion broke;

the prayer, which the entire Mortlock and
Ruk congregations repeat at the close of
every meeting:
"O God, Great Spirit, who made heaven
and earth and all in them; we praise thee
that thou hast kept us alive; that thou hast
enlightened us; that thou hast fed us; and
for teaching us to-day. Wilt thou forgive
our sins; send the Holy Spirit into our
hearts, cause us to know thy words; help
us to obey; shield us from evil; continually dwell in our hearts; make.us to love
one another; hasten the kingdom of Jesus
in all the earth; hear our prayer for the
sake of the Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen."

BUSINESS MEETING.
Despite the storm and counter attrac-
tions, the regular monthly meeting was
held on the evening of March 17th, President Bowen in the chair. Some of the
Committees failed t» be represented by
their chairman but the reports presented
were of an encouraging nature. The
meetings had been well nttended and tbe
other privileges of the association enjoyed
by the usual number. It was with verygreat regret that the association accepted
the resignation of Mr. T. S. Southwick as
treasurer, to take effect April 9th. Mr.
Southwick has performed the duties of
this important office most faithfully during
the past year and a half, and resigns only
because of a change of residence to the
States. The President appointed Messrs.
Atherton, Bidwell and Crozier, a committee on nomination to prepare a list of
names to be submitted for the election of
officers at the annual meeting. Five new
members were received, two voting and
three associate.
Y. M. C. A. BOYS.
The last meeting was well attended and
very interesting. The subject under consideration was temperance. An excellent
paper was prepared and read by James
Judd on alcohol, and another by Hiram
Bingham on Mr. Booth's work in our city.
The President, Mrs. W. C. Merritt,
gave an instructive address on the effects
of alcohol, illustrated by some very practical experiments that must have given to
the truths expressed a life-long clinch on
the minds of the youthful listeners.
The subject for next Thursday's meeting
is "Switzerland."
FAITHFULNESS.
" Faithful to business," is the boasted
motto of many a man who makes the
things of this world the goal of all his
endeavor, forgetful that there is a business
fur God and eternity that has been placed
first in point of time and importance by
One who knew whereof he spoke, and to
whom we shall have to account f >r any
disregard of his word or work.
Faithfulness to a business calling is not
an attainment to be disparaged, but it is
not the end ol life, praise-worthy as it may
be; it is only one ol the means to a desired
end, the scope and importance of which
cannot be estimated by any bank account
or ledger showing.
Faithfulness cannot be claimed as a
possessed virtue by those who frequently
substitute a flimsy excuse for a promised
action—or, what is worse, an unexplained
absence for a pledged presence. Moral
obligations are no tinsel decorations that
may be put on or off at our merest pleasure. They are cords that should bind us
inseparably together, and hold us to the
performance of duty.
Faithfulness to trusts we have accepted
and to the moral obligations which we
sustain to those with whom we are associated in business or christian effort will
go a long way toward making up that
faithfulness to Grd which is an essential
element in the christian character. The
lack of this will prove a defect that eternity
will be too short to remedy.
Divinely recognized faithfulness is the
highest attainable honor outside the real
kingdom of Christ, and is an essential
His
requisite to an entrance therein.
lord said unto him: Well done, thou good
and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee
ruler over many things; enter thou into
the joy of thy Lord. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness;
there shall be weeping and gnashing of
teeth." Mat. 25:21, 30.
Hon. A. F. Judd presided at the exer
cises which he opened with a short but
appropriate address of welcome to friends
present. Brief speeches were also made
by Messrs. W. O. Smith, Henry Water
house, F. VV. Damon, Rev. H. H. Parker,
Hon. C. R. Bishop, Messrs. Taro Ando
(Japanese Consul), Kalaukoa and S. D.
Fuller.
The opening prayer was offered by Rev
Waiwaiole, and the dedicatory prayer by
Rev. C. M. Hyde. Excellent music for
the occasion was furnished by the Kawai
ahao and Kaumakapili church choirs.
The exercises were exceedingly interesting
although not entirely understood by every
one present, as three languages were
spoken during the evening, Hawaiian,
Japanese and English.
The jooibs, doorways and windows
were all full of attentive, enthusiastic list
eners, who not only showed their appreci
ation of the things heard, but later, as they
passed through the building, expressed
themselves highly gratified with the pleasant horne—like appearance of this new

of church government. Hut the doctrine
of the absolute necessity of the Episcopal
as the only valid form of government, and
ofthe Episcopal succession of bishops, in
order to a participation in the gifts of the
Spirit, we must regard as something foreign
to the true idea of the Christian church.
It is in direct conflict with the spirit cf
Protestantism; and is the origin, not of
the true Catholicism of the apostles, but
of that of the Romish Church. When
therefore, Episcopalians disown, as essentially deficient in their ecclessiastical
organization, other Protestant Churches,
which evidently have the spirit of
Christ, it only remains for us to protest, in the strongest terms, against
their setting up such a standard of perfection for the Christian church. Far be it
from us, who began with Martin Luther
in the spirit, that we should now desire to
be made perfect by the flesh."
If "the oldest pupils" could be induced
to imbibe these words, they might develope into broad-minded, large-hearted, influential christian men and women.
OUR AGENCIES FOR GOD AND
HUMANITY.
All who nave surrendered themselves to
the Savior and entered upon a christian
life have in so doing consecrated their all
to the cause of Him, Who redee.ned them.
But it would seem, that some Christians,
owing perhaps to superior home training,
have a more vivid realization of their duties and responsibilities than others. We
rind those, who apparently are satisfied
with the performance of few duties and
these of a nature that do not demand
much self denial. They are not altogether useless, yet they do not bring great »>r
effectual help to the cause of their professed allegiance. This is to be regretted.
Not only some, but all christians, in view
of what their Savior has done for them,
should be in earnest, full of love, faith
and courage and consequent happiness,—
our lives fruitful of good and adding
daily to the sum total of human blessedness in the bestowal of helpfulness to the
needy, and sympathy to those whose sky
is darkened and who have the cup of sorrow pressed to their lips. The pathway of
duty and of every one's daily pilgrimage
should be to follow in the footsteps of
Him, Who "pleased not Himself" and the
highest enjoyment for every christian will

2. —THE INVENTIVE SKILL OF COD.
A little more than ten years ago when
the first century of the American Republic
had closed and a new century begun, the
Centennial Exposition drew thousands of
people to the memorable city of Philadelphia. 'Thereon every side could be seen
the results of man's inventive power. 'The
exercise of this power begins, way back at
an early day in the world's history. 'Thus
when man could no longer sleep amid the
flowers of Paradise Jabal made a tent;
his brother directed his attention to the
science of musical sounds and invented
the harp and the flute. Tubel-Cain was
the first discoverer of ore and was perhaps
the inventor of the spade and the sword.
And through on-going centjries men have
put to a practical ttst the gift of intelligence and exerted then mental powers.
And as one age succeeded another, civilization, art and science have made wonderful advances and triumphs. And in this
century especially, the thinking faculty
of man has achieved astonishing results
on the fields of investigation and practical
application. And yet there never have
been displayed, and there never will be,
any productions of science or of art, that
can at all compare with the evidences of
the inventive skill of God. It is true,
sometimes Godremains in the secret place
of His habitation and all things proceed
in their stated and usual course, but not
seldom does He step forth from His solitude, and He touches some natural cause
and sets it in motion and there is a storm,
an eruption, an exhibition offire and flame,
a mighty, rushing, gathering stream of
lava, all nature in terrible commotion, and
a Voice, not of earth, says, This phenomenon is designed for your thought and reflection; come and behold the works of
the Lord! And yet, my friends, grand
and marvelous and full of instruction as
the works of Gcd are in the natural kingdom He will show you greater things
than these. For we might stand amid
nature's most brilliant scenes, helpless and
hopeless. Burdened by sin, offer at her
altars a prayer for pardon and you will receive no answer; weary and heavy-laden
she will give you no rest. And here it is
that God, inexhaustible in His resources,
has come to the rescue, and He says,
Come into the sanctuary of My grace,and
behold the provisions ofinfinite love! You
return. What went you there for to see ?
O, a grander sight than the Baptist, the

but also in past years. Not always has it
bten thus in other parts of the world.
Only think of the wide-spread earthquake
which laid the city of Lisbon in ruins and
ashes. It was of a wide-spreading nature
and disastrous in its effects. It was felt
at different times through most parts of
Europe. One describing its devastating
career and awful consequences says of it,
"Lisbon numbered 300,000 souls. Its
foundations trembled and the ground
heaved. Towers, palaces and churches
tottered and fell. 'The city's vast riches
and by all accounts between fifty and a
hundred thousand persons were buried or
burned. One might see the flames bursting from the ruins; the sea roaring and
rushing over its banks with resistless impetuosity; the people running from place to
place in wild consternation and rending
the air with their wild shrieks and cries,
and walls falling upon thousands in iheir
helpless and hopeless flight. Other towns
in Portugal, Spain and along the European
coast of the Mediterranean were damaged,
overthrown or sunk. It extended acrcass
the sea and ruined a great part of Africa
and many thousands perished. It was felt
in various parts of Italy, Germany, France,
Great Britain and Ireland. 'The tremor
reached also the American land and was
felt in Boston and other parts of New
England." And likewise I might speak
of Pompeii and of the more rectnt occurrences on Java and Charleston, in the
home land. Now on these islands we
have had expositions of majesty and power
coupled with the goodnes and sympathetic care of God. I have been deeply interested in a graphic description by the
late Dr. Coan of Hilo, of the eruptions
and streams of lava that have taken place
here from time to time. Mention is made
of seven of these, and, beginning with that
of 1823 and ending with that of 1868, it
may be said of them all, that they occa
sioned no loss of human life, even though
of the eruption <»f 1868 it is recorded,
that "tradition reports no convulsions to
equal those of that year in magnitude or
extent. The whole land was shaken."
The eye-witnesses of some of these phenomena were rewaided with sights such as
but seldom favor the vision of mortals and
so subl.me and terribly impressive were
the scene of action and the magnificent
pyiotechnical displays as to baffle all description. No deaths ensued from the
eruption and accompanying earthquakes
of 1880-81, and the same may be said of
this last one, of which a personal beholder
says, "It was impossible previously to
conceive of a scene of such indescribable brilliancy and sublimity." Yet now,
as on a former occasion, when all eastern
Hawaii was lighted up at night and the
scene was like the conflagration of a great
city or a burning firmament, we are privileged to record that no lives were lost.

The special services so ably conducted
by Mr. Richard T. Booth during the last
week of January and the first two weeks
of February interrupted the regular work
of the Church. A Union service was held
Sunday evening, Feb. 9th, at which Rev.
E. C. Oggel made the opening address,
and Mr. Booth followed with a temperance

a farewell meeting for Mr. Booth in the
audience room, followed by a soc'al in the
lecture room.

whom many of us call Father Thrum, and
his wife. At that time my honored predecessor, the Rev. Dr. Damon, wrote in
'The Friend, "We rest fully assured, that
they who have been invited to manage the
establishment are fully competent to
manage the undertaking and are persons
in whom the public, and especially seamen, may place the fullest confidence."
And neither Dr. Damon nor the community were disappointed in their expectations. Tor her service there many a
sailor owed her a debt of gratitude. And
what more blessed woik can there be in
this pilgrim land than to clothe the naked
and destitute and feed the hungry and
nurse the sick and speak words cf comfort and hope to the dying? As fruit
grows on a tree, so did this loving service

of Christ. 'There is no life like that

the sick, the destitute, the unfortunate,
the dying, ye have done it unto Me, the
Son of Man and the Lord of heaven and
earth, whose is the gold and the silver,
and the cattle upon a thousand hills."
And now, though being dead—but her
real, unclouded, ever-blc,sed life has but
just dawned !—though being dead, she yet
speaketh. She speaks to you, my aged
friend, whose loving and faithful companion she has been for nearly half a century, and she says: "Be patient and faithful to the end." Yes, a few more suns
shall roll and go down and then you, too,
will be in the blessed land where the beloved companion of so many years is now
waiting and watching for thee. In the
meantime the Lord will abide with you
even unto the end.
Children and grandchildren of the
departed: through her life and example may you all be attracted to that
Savior, who said, "And I, if I be lifted up
from the earth will draw all men unto
me." So will you all stand at some time
at the right hand of earth's Redeemer,
and your parents shall say: "Lord, behold
us and the children whom Thou hast
given us."
This place and this very Monday afternoon hour —as many of you know —is
consecrated as "the ladies' weekly hour of
prayer." Not far from where I am standing the dear departed mother has often
sat and prayed and given her testimony
to Christ and the blessedness of His service. She will be missed in that circle of
praying women—and who will take her
place? Her life here is ended; her voice
hushed in the repose of death, but her
example and the record of her life remain.
"And I heard a voice from heaven sayiig, Write, Blessed are the dead, who die
ii the Lord, from henceforth: yea, saith
the spirit, that they may rest from their
labors; and their works do follow them."
Says 'Thatcher:
Karth is the spirit's rayle-s cellj
lint then, as a bird soars home to the shade
Of the beautiful wood, where its nest was made,
In bonds no more to dwell:
So will its weary wing
He spread lor the skies, when ils toil is done;
And its breath How free, as a bird's in the sun,
And the soft fresh gales ol spring.
Not dearer, 'mid the foam
(>f the far-off sea, and its stormy roar,
Is a breath of balm from the unseen shore,
To one that longs for home.
Wings, like a dove to fly !
The spirit is faint with its feverish strife;
O, for its home in the upper life !
When, when will death draw nigh?
Or, in the words of the departed
mother, "Let me go: why do you keep
me ?"

LECTURE ON MICRONESIA.
ETMORE,
BHCY.WM.D.
(Delivered at Hila, Hawaii, Nov. 7, ISS6,
and published by request.)
It is very hard indeed for such islanders
to get toughened to the common results
which
so
often accompany civilization*
Like the TssD anians, it will ere long be
said of the Micrcnesians, too, "not one
cf them remains." So what is to be done
for them should be done quickly.
You ask, "What was considered wrong
(among the people) before the missionarywork commenced?" It was wrong for women to join with the men in celebrating
a heathen feast. It was wrong for a sister
to sit upon a brother's mat or to eat food
prepared by him. It was wrong for a
plebeian not to take hold of the right wrisl
with his left hand in conveying anything
to a superior. 'This is done even now at
the communion table. It was wrong for
one of the common people not to crouch
in sight o( the king; in which position hewas forced to remain until bidden by the
king to rise, or until his majesty chose to
mo\e on. In like manner all common
I eople had to go down to every chief,
lesser chiefs to greater, and sisters to
brothers. At Kusaie, where this custom
prevailed, it was termed "sinuk." It was
forever abolished by their king, January
11, 1884. It was wrong to take and eat
a cocoanut from a recent grave if placed
there by a relative. Such an act would
displease their god, "Anit": no native
would dare even to hand'e such a nut. It
was wrong, and is now, at the Mortlocks,
which are a subordinate group of the
Caroline Islands, to gather cocoanuts
from any grove which a king or chief had
encircled with a string, cord, or vine, until
he chose" to remove it; no matter whether
the people suffered and died or not from
famine. We saw several groves thus
under strict taboo. It was wrong, and is
now, in many places on Ponape, to address a king in the language of the common people. The royal dialect, containing many words of ceremony, must be
employed in conversing with them or you
incur their hot displeasure.
In speaking of Micronesian character
in early days, I would say they were regarded as barbarous savages, liars, thieves,
ciuel, full of hatred, darkness, and obstinacy, naked, dirty, haggard looking,
heartless, wild, rude and wicked. Murder,
robbery and lawlessness reigned among
them, and they were sunken even into the
FRIEND.
lowest depths of moral degradation. A
few examples will suffice to elucidate these
declarations. At Pohape in early times, a
Nanakin endeavored to make two widows
live with him. With help they escaped
from him. He caught one and shot her,
and then butchered the other with his own
brutal hands. Formerly, at the same
island, people would take with them to
church their large knives and other fighting implements, and lay them in a pile by
the church door. When travelling about,
they would carry them along to protect
themselves from insult and violence from
their enemil I, At l'ingelap there was a
jacred i land. On one OCCSStI n the king
retired to it "to have his gods prevent the
coming of the missionary God." He was
there afflicted with severe pains and nearly
died. Despairing of life, he sent for the
native missionaries, 'Thomas and Tepit.
They came and prayed with him and their
prayers were heard. 'The king soon revived, and not long afterward embraced
< Christianity.
Ebon chiefs would wrench open the
bowels, tear off limbs, break the head and
gnlp down the blood of their ercmies.
Once more: turn your attention to Mille
and see what transpired there in 1824.
In the midst of terrifying whoops and
yells, the exasperated people dash upon
the remnant of the ill-fated Globe crew,
then ashore, and massacred in cold blood
all but two of their number. One old
woman about sixty years of age ran ('apt.
John North's brother Columbus through
with a spear ar.d pelted out the remainder
of life with stones.
Here let me mention some things
which they believed.
Each land rests, or floats, on the sea
and has its own heaven and hell. Different lands had no common foundation.
Sickness, calamity, a noise at night, or
anything singular, was looked upon as the
work of a ghost. Even the rainbow they
regarded as the work of a spirit moving
upon the clouds. They entertained this
strange idea until Father Sturgis made a
prism, which convinced them of their folly
and made them laugh at their simplicity.
Among certain classes there is a belief
that spirits swarm in the air and take human form; that they sometimes inhabit
certain birds and fishes which are taboo
as food to the family, though they are allowed to help catch them for others.
'They deified their ancestors, supposing
from time to time that they occupied
blocks of stone. These stones were
anoinktd with oil, and worshiped with
prayer and offerings 'They were ominous
and used for divination. In the Marshall
Islands, instead of stones, certain palm
trees were enclosed for a like purpose.
Bodies of the dead and even of the sick
were sometimes dispatched to sea westward with certain rites and ceremonies.
Bodies of chiefs were buried. At Ponape
they would bury the bodies of a deceased
one very early, lest a stranger, looking
upon it, should offend the spirit. They
believed that the dead go down under the
25
sea to a beautiful world where the scul
finds all it wants, fruits, fish, canoes, feasts,
etc. Going to thic Elysian land, a dark
beautiful place must be passed; on either
side of its portal stand two spirits ready to
catch and thrust down into it all they car.
If those approaching these spiiits can sing
sweetly they are suffered to pass on to
their land of bliss; but woe to him, who is
no singer, that seals his fate and he is cast
down into the dark and fearful abyss.
Such views of the future night help a people to cultivate the voice while living.
You ask for bill of fare in mission families. We ofti ne-r had roast pigeons than
any otler form <i meat diet; (it was our
fortune to be there in pigeon reason,)
fowls, rice, canned meats and fruits, yams,
Irish potatoes, squashes, cucumbers, pineapples (superior to any I have eaten before),
bread and butter, with tea and coffee, or
lemonade, were enjoyed by us while we
were privileged guests at mission tables.
I fear we fined more sumptuously than
they often did after we left.
Some officers of a man of war weie invited to tea by the Snows at Ebon twelve
years ago; a heavy rain prevented their
being present, "Else," Brother Snow said,
"they might have gone off and reported
the extravagantly luxurious living of these
coral-island missionaries; viz.: butter A. 1
or li. 2, white bread toast, moistened with
roast beet from the tin can, wheat meal
biscuit, tin of fresh grapes, tea and cm rat t
pie with half dried apple."
'The missionaries seemed to have suitable', nourishing, palatable food, with nothing extravagant or luxurious, whether their
supplies would hold out, j-nd be preserved
in good condition a whole year or not, the
deponent saith not. 'The almost unvarying climate has, I judge, more de'eterious
effect on health than all other agencies
combined.
Morning prayer-meetings have been kept
up for years at Ova, Ponape, and evening
meetings too for instructing the youth in
Bible history and character; in this way
much good seed is sown and rooted.
You ask the sort of preaching the missionaries give the natives. 'They repeat
the" story of the cross; they preach " to
them "the unsearchable riches of Christ,"
introducing as time admits the arts and
usages, and the hopes and joys of the
Christian life. At Ponape the people
have had the gospel during a whole generation. Brother Doane told me that they
are no more children, and therefore need
something more than milk; he considers
them of full age, and is feeding them with
strong meat.
Moses at his island, Manassa at his, and
Brother Logan at his, have each induced
the people about them to build long stone
wharves out into the lagoon in order to
lighten and expedite work at low tide; but
they have also done other work, which, if
put into the balances above, would far
outweigh the former, although these landing places are exceedingly convenient and
advantageous.
