KAWAIAHAO SEMINARY.
From the very commencement of the
American Mission, some sixty years ago,
the preaching of the Gospel has been accompanied by the education of Hawaiian
boys and girls; at first in Christian fam-
ilies and subsequently in the boarding
schools established by the American missionaries at different points on the Islands.
The Kawaiahao Ferrule Seminary
originated twenty years ago in the family
of Dr. Gulick, secretary at the time of the
Hawaiian Board, who had taken a number of Hawaiian girls into his family to be
educated together with his own children.
In March of the year 1867 Miss Lydia
Bingham, the present Mrs. Coan, arrived
from Boston in the Morning Star with the
Rev. Hiram Bingham, Jr., as captain.
The school, which had been in operation
for three years, was now established on a
firmer foundation. Since then several
worthy ladies have been engaged as
teachers in the institution, while a con-
siderable number have rendered tem-
porary assistance from time to time. In
June, 1876, it was deemed desirable to
place the school under the direction of a
Board of Trustees. The appointments,
made by the Hawaiian Board, were
Messrs. C. M. Hyde, A. F. Judd, W. R
Castle, S E. Bishop and M. Kuaea.
These gentlemen have served in this capacity continuously. Mr. Kuaea's place at
his decease was filled by the appointment
of Mr. G. W. Pilipo.
In 1884 the Trustees secured the services of Miss M. E. Alexander, of Ann
Arbor, Michigan, and Miss N. J. Malone
of Akron, Ohio, the present Principal and
Associate Principal of the Institution.
These experienced and conseciOed ladies
are assisted in the work by Miss M. A.
Brewer, of Oakland, Cal.; Miss S. Y.
Hopper, of Williarastown, Mass.; Miss F.
G. Morley, of Baraboo, Wis.; Miss L. E.
Applcton, of Damon's Crossing, Virginia,
and Miss Jennie Bates, pupil-teacher, of
Honolulu, H. I. These ladies constitute
a strong and efficient corps of teachers,
and under their careful and thorough
training the physical, mental and moral
requirements of the girls are met, their
characters developed and their young
years permeated with influences calculated
to qualify tham to take their places in the
domestic, social and religious departments
of life.
The Seminary is supported in three
ways: Ist, by Tuition, which is $50 a
year per capita; 2nd, by Capitation fees,
which, last year, realized $1,431.25; and
3rd, by the Hawaiian Mission Children's
Society, which contributes $200 per annum.

The present number of girls in attendance is one hundred and twelve. Some
of these are supported by individuals and
one-half tuition for five. The following
carefully prepared list will doubtless be of
interest to all who have the Christian
training of our Hawaiian girls at heart:

also supports one girl in Miss Fletcher's

All the pupils are native girls with the
exception of one white girl and two from
the Gilbeit Islands, Micronesia.
The salaries of the Teachers are paid
from the revenues of the School and the
$200 contributed by the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society.
Under the training they receive, the girls
are learning to live for others. The majority of them give to the three monthly
collections at Kawaiahao Church, Kawaiahao Sunday-sehoolandthe "Lima Kokua"
Society. Of this society we made mention
in the January number* of The
Friend. We would add in this connection that it is controlled by Christian
ladies, with Mrs. C. M. Hyde as President.

The steamer which arrived at this port
January 23rd brought the sad tidings of
the death of Mrs. T. B. Cunningham, of
Canton, China, second daughter of the
Rev. Dr. Happer, and sister to Mrs. F. W.
Damon of this city. The lady will be remembered by many of our people, she
having visited Honolulu in October,
1885. Mrs. Cunningham was born August 13, 1853; her death occurred
December 9, 1886. For seven years she
has been a missionary of the American
Presbyterian Board; she has translated
various religious works into Chinese,
among them "Line upon line," catechisms
and hymns. Up to the last she was
deeply interested in mission work. To
her husband, T. B. Cunningham, Esq., of
the firm of Messrs. Russell & Co., Canton; to the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Happer,
Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Damon and other
relatives of the deceased, we tender the
assurance of our sympathy in their bereavement.

�February, 1887.]
In the December number of The
Friend we printed, as our readers doubtless remember, an able paper on " The
Present Condition of Hawaiian Christianity," by His Honor Chief Justice Judd.
In this paper the Judge says: "If any
plan can be devised and carried into effect
which the Hawaiian Churches after their
twenty years of autonomy will accept,
which shall give them the supervision of
foreign resident quasi Bishops, some of
the lost ground may be regained." In
response to the paper as a whole, and the
quoted paragraph in particular, Dr. J. K.
Smith writes from Boston as follows :
"I have only time to say that we find it a
strong argument when talking with the Secretaries of the American Board and other
influential people here in favor of sending
men out to the Islands to act as counselors and leaders for the native pastors and

and many others here, are only waiting for
the request from the Hawaiian Board for

the Hawaiian Board asks for the more it
is likely to get."
The words of Dr. Smith are timely, and
true to the spirit that ever actuates
the American Board. Though that experienced and competent body needs no
direction from us, we would, however, suggest, that in the selection of such "counselors and leaders," in case the plan, as we
have reason to expect, shall crystalize into
action, it will be the part of wisdom to select for this work, men who are familiar
with the Hawaiian language and the peculiar characterand tendencies of the natives.
Such men, sons of missionaries, or missionaries themselves, may be found, both
in the United States and on these Islands.
These men would not first have to battle
with the language, b'Jt fully equipped as
they already are, could at once enter upon
their task. It would be an economizing
of time and money and the purposes of
the Board, would, according to our view,
be more ideally realized.
THE
HEATHEN WHO HAVE NEVER
HEARD OF CHRIST.
BYREV.EDWARDP. BAKER.
When, therefore, New England divines taught,
that those who did not consciously profess Christ
could not be saved, were they never so diligent to
conform their lives to the light of nature, they certainly seem to have been contradicting Christ's
teaching recorded in the 25th Chapter of Matthew.
Freeman Clarke.
Andover Professors, at least those of them
who represent Ihe new departure, retain the belief
that a knowledge of the historic Christ is essential
to salvation. Unitarians, on the other hand, hold
to the doctrine set forth by Jesus in the
25th chapter of Matthew, that the righteous of all nations,
whether they know Jesus or not, are the heirs of
salvation, both in this world and the world to
come.— Christian Register.

Here also the native teacher takes the entire charge of the work, and although I

an Island with so large a population a
missionary ought to be resident so that a
larger harvest may be gathered in.
At Rarotonga too the outlook was quite

The question will naturally be asked as
to what will be the reign here. The Commander of the war ship is not able to tell
us much, but in answer to questions put,
replied, that in some two months two
steam-ships will return, bringing a Governor, 50 or 100 soldiers as a body-guard,
some Catholic Priests, some cattle, perhaps
50 workmen, materi.il'for erecting large
buildings and residences, and so on. We
hear the port is to be free; one can come
and go at his own pleasure and goods will
be admitted without duty. We hear, too,
that the natives are not to be taxed, but
word is already given out that no land is to
be sold till the arrival of the Governor.
Deeds, however, already holding land will
be respected. The coming in of this neworder of things cannot but be a good thing
for all this Island realm, if only the newrulers will be just. It will bring in a new
good Government much to be desired.
The time is at hand when capital seeks to
enter these Islands. It is timely. There is
no law, no protection to life and pioperty.
There has thus far, it is true, been but
little outlawry. The rfetives on the Island
reached by Christian influence have mellowed and sobered down most wonderfully. Kusaie at which Island four whalers at
least have been cut off, now through Christian instruction is almost the safest place
in the Pacific Ocean to live in. Even
now, a poor widow with her children, having come from the Colonies, lives there
and carries on trade without being in the
least molested by the natives. But all
this reign of order and peace is liable at
any moment to be broken up; tramps and
freebooters are liable to drift along at anytime and sack any trading house they
choose; and there is no protection in such
a case for the trader. But if Spain is only
true to the spirit of the age, she will give
here good Government both for her own
good and the merchant. I need hardly
say there is not much yet to invite the
merchant. The Island is poorly cultivated,
but the soil is good, and manila, hemp,
coffee, cotton, sugar cane and all such
commodities can be grown with ease so far
as the soil is concerned, which is rich.
Perhaps I may say the war vessel goes
from here to Strong's Island, simply to
raise the Spanish flag. She has been at
Ruk. At Yap she recently landed a Governor, 50 soldiers, six priests, laborers and
material for building. The natives there

of Mauna Loa, about a mile to the north
and a little above the well known extinct
crater called Halepohaha. A temple of
the King Umi is near the place, which was

and about ten north-west and above the

no lava was to be seen. There is a comparatively level plain in the vicinity, and

that the force of the eruption was decreasing. Had heavy thunder and thunder

At daylight of-the 22nd the fire fountains were about the same as on the 21st.
Light trades were blowing, which carried
the smoke away, and allowed a clear view
of the coast at the point where the main
stream was flowing into the sea. A column of steam a quarter of a mile in width,
and three or four hundred feet high, was
constantly ascending, and joining above
with the smoke and steam from the fire
fountains. After sunrise its whole eastern
side was glistening like a pillar of snow.
At the place of observation, six or seven
miles distant and to windward, the roar
of the tumult beneath this column could
be plainly heard. At 9:15 a. m. had a peculiar earthquake. All of the others have
been from a northerly to a southerly direction and without noise. This was apparently from east to west, and although the
jar was light, it was accompanied by a rattle
similar to that produced by running a stick
along a picket fence.
At 10:30 a. m. some gentlemen who
had been up the mountain for the purpose
of photographing the flow brought the following intelligence:—
The head of the flow is not, as has been
supposed, at the lava fountain above Halepohaha, for the molten stream was visited
by them some miles farther up than that
point. One of these gentlemen is about
the oldest foreign resident of Kau and is
well acquainted with this side of the
mountain. In his opinion, the lava comes
from Pohakuhanalei, where the fire was
first seen on Sunday, 16th inst., as b«yond the point visited by them a line of
smoke was seen extending to that crater.
They all agree in estimating the rapidity
of the stream at thirty or forty miles an
hour. They say that the fountains which
had been observed from below, are caused
by this rapid stream of lava dashing
against the numerous cones and portions
of ancient flows with which the plain is
thickly covered, and that there is no sign
of a crater or fissure where they appear.

The continuous down-pour during the
first half of the month of January, compelled the cessation of our special services
after the Week of Prayer, and very largely

during the Week of Prayer.

THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH.
JANUARY—FEBRUAR Y.
The Rev. Arthur H. Smith of North
China, on the 9th, addressed the Sundayschool. In tie evening of that day Dr.
Dorman preached an earnest discourse on
the words, "Son, remember." He pressed
the truth home and the Divine blessing accompanied the Word.
At the Young People's meeting the following Friday evening there was an unusual
degree of interest. The meeting was led
by Mr. William Waterhouse, and there weie
brief addresses by Dr. Dorman, Mr. J. T.
Arundel of London, England, and Mr.
George C. Ellis of Auckland, New Zealand. The hour proved one of interest
and profit to all.
On Sunday, the 16th, Mr. Arundel addressed the Sunday-school. The Rev. A.
H. Smith occupied the pulpit in the morning and preached an able and instructive
discourse. We take for granted that Mr.
Smith is needed and. useful in North
China; but we know no other man so well
qualified to be a Secretary of some Foreign
Missionary Board, and to present the cause
and claims of Missions to the churches
throughout the iand.
On Wednesday evening, the 19th, after
a brief season of prayer, in which Mr.
Ellis of Auckland took part, the annual
business-meeting of the Church was held.
The Treasurer, Mr. E. C. Damon, presented his report, showing the receipts to
have been $3,787.80, and the disbursements $3,784.09, leaving a balance on
hand of $3.71. A unanimous vote of
thanks was tendered the Treasurer. Considering the fact, that our Church building
was lost during the year by the great fire
and that we have since April occupied a
temporary Church home, which, though
comfortable, is not by any means central,
we felt that the congregation deserved to
be congratulated on presenting so noble a
financial record.
The following officers were re-elected:
Rev. S. E. Bishop, Scribe; Mr. E. C. Damon, Treasurer; Messrs. J. O. Carter, S.
M. Damon and T. G. Thrum, Trustees;
and Messrs. S. E. Bishop and J. O. Carter,
members of the Standing Committee.
Mr. J. E. Bidwell was elected Sundayschool Superintendent, Mrs. S. M. Damon,
Assistant Superintendent, Mr. J. Shaw,
Treasurer, Mr. W. G. Thrum, Secretary
and Mr. G. E. Thrum, Librarian. It was
resolved that Mr. John Rehn shall be paid
monthly for his labors among seamen.
As the Union Gospel Temperance meetings still continue, we will present no out-

Ruk we experienced our hottest weather,
viz: 84 at midday in the shade. In the
lagoons the temperature of the sea was
positively delightful. Being a little cooler
than the air, in almost all cases it proves
both salutary and tonic to sea bathers.
Within these lagoons you woulel readily
observe the intensely green sea which every
one notices when voyaging among coral
Islands; and when you see one spot
greener than'another, shun it, for there
you wi 1 find a coral shoal near the surface.
The native table usually consjjts ofbreadfruit leaves spread on the ground, or floor.
I plucked one young breadfruit leaf at the
Mortlocks that was two feet long and
over one foot wide. A few such leaves
would cover quite a good sized table. In
some places I saw mats kept and used for
such purposes. They handle food with
their fingers. In the breadfruit season the
people largely subsist on it, but scarcity of
food occurs almost annually among them;
hence they cook it and make it into balls
and then dry it, and in this state it will
keep a great while. The jack fruit they
usually bake in their hot stone ovens. For
preservation they scrape it fine and put it
into salt water for maceration and seasoning. Then they place it in the earth
packed in leaves, or out in the sun, till
perfectly dry. In some places, the fruit is
preserved for use by storing in pits where
the fruits ferment and resolve themselves
into a mass similar in consistence to new
cheese, in which state an offensive odor
is emitted. After baking in their ground
ovens, this is dissipated. They wrap some
of the leaves of the tree around a piece of
wood to form a mould, and when securely
tied with strings, the stick or board is
withdrawn and in this mould the " bump"
is inserted. It is said to be of a sweet,
pleasant taste. Brother Doane had it on
his table daily instead of cheese. One
mouthful was enough for me. Their
" kalo" is coarser than ours; they never
make it into poi; generally they bake or
roast it; sometimes they mix it with pia"
(arrow-root) or cocoanut or both. Their

with Pandanus fruit and then use them

either eat fresh, or slice and dry them in
the sun for use in times of destitution.
Cocoanuts when well sprouted they split
open and then cook them, and in this
state they highly esteem them as an article
of diet. Fowls are quite common, often
existing in the bush. Pish obtained near
the shore are good to eat.
The natives
often frighten a hundred or more skip jacks
or other kinds of fish into shoal water
where they can readily be caught. Those
which they get in deep water are often
poisonous, particularly at certain seasons
of the year.
A Hawaiian missionary from Hilo almost died at the Marshall Islands from
eating poisonous fish sent him by a chief
who evidently intended his death. Green
sea turtle we saw and tasted at Mokil and
°
"
Mor. There they are often captured on
the coral shoals at low or medium tide.
At Kusaie and the Marshall Islands we
found the people pretty generally well
clothed with foreign fabrics bought with
cobra (cocoanut meat sliced and dried) at
two cents per pound. Some persons there
still wear the mat dress. Many men and
boys at Ponape and at the islands in that
vicinity continue to wear the fringed "figleaf" ppron. Kings and chief's in early
mission-days tabooed their wearing foreign
apparel. At the Mortlocks and at Ruk
there is a great scarcity of dress and of
dress materials. Red and yellow ochre
pigments are much used for the head and
upper part of the body. " Unadorned,
adorrftd the most," mcthinks I hear you
say. Persons fond of naked statuary
would there have their tastes fully satisfied.
Aprons, mats, " malo's," "pa'u's," poncho's and foreign clothing are coming into
use as fast as the missionary influence is
extended. On Pingelap (McAskill's Island) and in many places on the Marshalls,
the houses are on "stilts;" men sleep
above and women below, except chiefish
women, who are allowed quarters in the
rooms above. One high stilt house attracted my attention at Pingelap, and on
inquiry I was told that some boys erected
it so as to sleep above the mosquito region.
Ruk houses are thatched, low, flattish, and
dismal, and the people herd together.
Neat houses are now seen taking their
places where the gospel has a hold.
The Micronesian population is a portion
of the great Malay, or as you might say,
the brown Polynesian race. They certainly have the Asiatic appearance. There
is a " combination of elements in different
degrees of fusion" effected by the surrounding Islanders and people. In some
places the oblique Mongolian eye is quite
perceptible, and in general you will note
their scanty beard. Their language and
institutions have also a Malayan aspect.
The Caroline Islanders have a soft yellow
or saffron tinge with rather slightly built
figures. The Marshall Islanders are a lit
tie darker and more vigorous.
Tarapon "
is a peculiar name given by ethnologists to
designate Micronesians. It is derived
from " Tara," a part of the word Tarawa,
and "pon" from Ponape; one a Gilbert,
and the other a Caroline Island. The natives are learning English to some extent
in their Training Schools, and but little
elsewhere except as they pick it up in their
intercourse with seamen.
In regard to taking in abstract ideas,
they are very much like Hawaiians in
former years. It is extremely difficult for
them to concentrate their minds upon
difficult, abstruse matters. The mission
ary, who has to labor for a thousand, and
perhaps ten thousand souls, has all he can
do to do plain work, obliged as he is to
give line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little," as opportunity is affortled him.
The sin of impurity, the great sin of the
Pacific, is the Micronesian besetting sin ;
yet it is not overlooked or disregarded.
"
"
On Pingelap, just before our visit there, a
man had broken the seventh commandment, and had been banished to an uninhabited island, there to live a long time
alone and thus atone for his offence.
When the Spirit of God his entered the
heart, (and I believe it has there entered
many hearts) conscience hasbeen awakened
in them ; not created or manufactured by
man, but by that higher power which helps
men both to will and to do " what nature
and men never can. I saw persons manifesting good evidence of true penttence
for such transgressions.
Rev. Eli Corwirj, once expressed his
views of such things in the following language: "If we have occasion to lament
that the Pacific Islanders so often seem
like full grown children, sinning and repenting and easily lapsing into the same
sin again, we have occasion yet more to
lament that so many in our own land fall
into sin without any thought of repentance
or restoration." Rev. George Chancy
says, "hardly more successful in illustrating Christian virtues than the average
"
Christian elsewhere."
The Strongs Islanders (Kusaians) are
physically and numerically declining. Influences sadly connected with civilization
have done and are doing this terrible
work. Ponapeans may be classed in the
same category. The Marshalls rank next
in the scale and show strong indications in
the same direction. At those "sunny
isles," the Mortlocks and at Ruk, fewer
visits have been made by profligate seamen, and the people are multiplying almost beyond the resources for supplying
their necessary wants.

A lady, teaching her little daughter
four years old—pointed to something in
the book and asked: "What is that, my
dear ?"
"Why, don't you know ?" inquired the
child.
"Yes," said the mother, "but I wish to
find out if you know."
"Well," responded the little Miss, "I do
know."
'Tell me, then, if you please," said the
lady.
"Why, no," insisted the little one, with
an arch look; "you know what it is, and I
know what it is, and there is no need of
saying anything more about it."—Early

Every-day religion is the foundation of
thoroughness, which is another word for
truthfulness or honesty. Workmen that
slight their work, whether they make
shirts for a living, or sermons, build houses
or ships, raise flocks or families, will be
some day or other found out. We want
clothes that will not rip, vessels that will
not leak, and bridges that will not break
down. So we want characters that will
stand temptation, and will not snap asunder under the sudden pressures of life.—

FEW
FRIEND-LY WORDS.
With the December number my connection with 'The Friend ceased. The
sole reason for this step was that the paper
took too much of my time.
For the warm "words of commendation
which have come te> us from many of our
subscribers; for the uniform courtesy,
kindliness and abil ty with which my editorial colleague has worked with me during the past two years; f6r the generous
financial support which has been given the
paper by the business men of Honolulu;
and for the kind words about 'The Friend
which have appeartd in the columns of
the secular journals of this city, I wish to
express my thanks and due appreciation.
I hope that, with Mr. Oggel as Editoi,
tinder the new business manager, The
Friend will find increase of favor with the
people of Hawaii nei.
With kindest regard,
J. A. Cruzan.
Honolulu, H. I.
At Mr. Cruzan's retirement from The
Friend, it is pleasant to testify to the cordial relations that have existed between us
these past two years. Also, that under his
careful and efficient management thepaper
has easily made its way financially. And
further, that our readers will not be altogether deprived of the benefit of his pen,
as the monthly record of the Fort-St.
Church will appear regularly as heretofore.
And this leads us to s;iy, that were it
only for this monthly record of ourchurches
it would pay every one of our members to
take The Friend. We send the January
number of the paper to every household
in the Fort-St. and Bethel Union Churches,
hoping with the opening year to add many
new subscribers to our list.
Let it be remembered that The Friend
is the oldest published newspaper in the
Pacific. Its publication was begun in
January, 1843, and its memorable past is
inseparably linked with the honored name
of Dr. Samuel Chenery Damon. We

make the most of every year that is given

To this we should be stimulated by the example of Him, Who lived, labored and
died for others. Moving amid the varied
sufferings of men, He bore their griefs and
carried their sorrows. And He expects of
us, not a cloistered seclusion, but a going

In the evening the congregation 01 Kan

sustains a young people's association, holding meetings once each month and which

FORT ST. CHURCH.
One year ago, the 30th of Nov., the
"Morning Star" sailed from Honolulu, with
Mr. Chares Lewis, a much-esteemed
member of Fort St Church, as engineer,
and Miss Lucy Wetmoie, of the Foreign
Church, Hilo, asdelegale from the Woman's
Board. 'They found the voyage so peas
ant that ere it terminated they decided to
make the iccaineler of life's voyage together.
And so, just one year from the
date of the sailing of the "Star," they were
united in marriage, by the Pastor of the
Foreign Church, Key. E. P. Baker, at thi!
residence of Dr. Wttmore, in Hilo. And
Fort-St. Church joins with the Hilo Church

LECTURE ON MICRONESIA.
BY C. H. WETMORE, M. D.
( Delivered at Hile, Hawaii, Nov. 7, 18S6,
and published by request.)
Microscopic Islands is a name not inaptly applied to Micronesia, as you will all
say when you attempt to find them on ordinary maps. 'The term Micronesia is now
used to denote the western islands of the
North Pacific Ocean. Small as these
islands arc, it is necessary, in describing
them, to divide them into volcanic and
coral islands. When we make this division, we must bear in mind that the
former, though volcanic, are '■ more or less
fringed with coral reefs," and even have
barrier reefs, "a sort of submarine rampart " of coral, enclosing their lagoons,
with here and there a volcanic or coral
islet intervening to complete the boundary
line. Rev. S. J. Whitmee says that " the
volcanic islands, with the exception of the
Hawaiian Archipelago, are all south of the
equator." He makes three or four exceptions, evidently including among them
Ponape, Kusaie, and Ruk or Hogolu as it
is sometimes called.
Micronesia forms a very important portion of what is called the " Atoll Valley."
Southward of this valley is located the
Ridge," which is about
" Great Volcanic and

Atolls, however, vary so much in their
formation and appearance, you cannot
map them out satisfactorily and intelligibly except on a very large scale ; and after
doing this you need to see one or more in

"PAY THY VOWS."
'The new year is pre-eminently a time of
high purposes and new resolves. 'To
many the new year has been the birth-hour
to a new life, followed by glad years of
consecrated activity in the interest ol God
and heaven. But to a much larger number, with equally good opportunities and
similar intentions, the matter never got
beyond intention. 'The good resolution
has never crystalized into action. 'The
sacred promsie t) God and friends has
never found fulfillment, and the passing
years record only failure in a multitude of
lives that might have been signal victories,
to the glory of God and the cheer of
humanity.
Concerning the past the record is made,
but of the future, what i—For your n.otto,
take from the Word of God the f blowing
Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay
thy vows unto the most High." Ps. 50: 14.
My unsaved friend you ought to " offer
unto God thanks-giving" that He has
spared your life to see this opening year.
How merciful He has been not to cut you
down in the midst of your sins, with the
burden of all your broken vows upon you
Young man, you stand today upon the
thresh jld of another new year.
How
will you begin it ? Wilt thou " pay thy
vows unto the most High?" Vows of
consecration to Jesus, made so long ago are
nearly forgotton may be ; or perhaps they
have been kept fresh in mind, by being
repeated occasion illy under pressure of a
disturbed conscience, but repeated, only
to be broken again as the record shows.
Friend, —vow no more, but haste thee, and
pay quickly the vows already made. " Behold, ncno is the accepted time; behold,
nOw is the day of salvation." 2 Cor. 6: 2.
" When thou vowtst a vow unto God,
defer not to pay it; for he hith no pleasure
in fools pay that which thou hast vowed.
Better is it that thou shouldest not vow,
than that thou shouldest vow and not pay."

BRIEFS.
The presentation of the Y. M. C. A.
International Work by the General Secretary, was gener >us'y responded t > in a
collection of $22.50, which has been
forwarded to Mr. Wetmore in New York.
Arrangements are being made to have
a brief series of Lectures in the Hall, during
the next few months. Prof. Van Slyke of
Oahu College has promised to favor us
with one or more scientific lectures, and
we have our eye on one or two other
sources of help.
The young men's Bible class has been
unusualiy interesting during the past
month. The lessons have been calculated
timate relation with the personal Savior
who although the Son of God was—and
is still the sinner's Friend.
Aitkr mature deliberation it has been
decided that the next International Convention of the Young Men's Christian
Association will be held in San Francisco,
probably some time in May.
Mr. George W lliams of London, the
founder of the first Young Men's Christian
Association, has recently been elected Hon.
President of the Association which he
started forty two years ago when a young
man of twenty one. For the past twenty
five years the late Earl of Shaftesbury
occupied the Presidency.
We have seen frequent and favorable
mention ia Eastern papers of a new parlorgame called " Crwkinole." It has proved
to be very popular in many of the larger
Associations in the States. 'This Association is now in possession of two of the
ibove games, the gift of Mr. J. B. Atherton,
purchased by him when on his recent tour
in America. Members and other y>ung
men are cordially invited to come in and
try their skill.
A considerable number of the Associations in the large cities of America, now
make it a part of their regular work to
provide a Thanksg ving Dinner annually,
for the young men among their members
who are away from home. Oakland and
San Francisco Associations both dispensed
turkey on that recent festive day. In the
latter city the family circle consisted of
one hundred and fifty young men.
Wi: have known General Secretaries in
the States who when about to publish an
Association paper, have worked themselves
up to nearly a fever-heat in their vain
efforts to invent some nm and appropriate
name by which to christen their literary
producti in. The nautical Secretary at
Oakland Cal. bears away the palm for
originality in that line. He enlightens
the public mind through the columns of
an " Association Log Book "

L. HASTINGS.
Bible a century ago, in Voltaire's time—
entirely demolished the whole thing. "In
less th in a hundred years" said Voltaire,
"Christimity will be swept from existence,
and have passed into history." Infidelity
ran riot through France red-handed and
impious. A century has passed away.
Voltaire's old printing press, it is said has
since been used to print the word of God;
and the very house where he lived has
been packed with Bibles from garret to cellar, as a depot for the Bible Socieiy. 'Thomas Paine demolished the Bible, and
finished it off, finally; but after he had
crawled despairingly into a drunkard's
grave in 1809, the book took such a leap
that since that time more than twenty
limes as many Bibles have been made and
scattered t'tirough the world as ever were
made before, since the creation of man.
Up to the year 1800, from four to six million copi-;s of the scriptures, in some thirty
different languages, comprised all that had
been produced since the world began.
Eighty years later, in 1880, the Statistics
of eighty different Bible societies which are
now in existence with their unnumbered
agencies and auxiliaries, report more than
15,000,000 Bibles, 'Testaments, and portions of Scripture, with two hundred and
six new translators, distributed by Bible
societies alone since 1804; to say nothing
of the unknown millions of Bibles and
Testaments which have been -issued and
circulated by private publishers throughout
the world. For a book that has been exploded so many times.this book yet shows
signs of considerable life.

The friends who attend the Sunday
evening service are most earnestly requested to come prepared to take some
part; to express briefly some thought in
the line of the above topics. It is to aid
the members io this matter that the topics
are selected a month in advance and
printed on this page. Our meetings have
been interesting and profitable during the
past year, but will we not personally endeavor to make them more so in the year
to come ? Let us seek to make them soulsaving as well as interesting.
Now, do not be fooled by this soft talk
about the Bible being a good book,' and
vet just like many other good books.
Tliere is not another like it in the world
Let us look at some of its peculiarities:—
Here is one The Bible is a book which
has been refuted, demolished, overthrown,
