Yet with such share as we have of those, it seems as if on no shores can there be happier or brighter homes to be thankful for to the Father of all mercies than in this land of Hawaii—" Hawaii nei." The year is ending. Its record is nearly complete. Can we not round it out still better ? What acts of kindness can we yet do? What neglected duty yet fulfill before the year's record is closed ? Some good work begun now, some besetting sin now heartily repelled, some reform of habit now resolutely adopted, and the new year will be entered upon with courage and hopeful aspiration and joyful confidence. To such upreaching action, may all the Father's goodness impel us, in true Thanksgiving, as December hastens to its end. mercury S, K. BISHOP, Editor CONTENTS. roaokapivtoj I lAill' Mrs. ('. S. N.

Dr. Beckwith'* Thanksgiving Sermon conveyed the lessons and inspirations of the day in a most attractive and entertaining form in a jolly description of his own boyhood's experiences of Thanksgiving among the Berkshire hills. It abounded in the humorous and yet in the reverent—in the rollicking of the boys, and in the grave earnestness of the Puritan fathers and mothers. We are with Brother Beckwith on the Pie question—every time. None of your anti-pie dietetics for us. So the good mother's pies were bestowed where the four boys could not find them ! It looks as if there were some environments in which those boys could not be relied upon. They all turned out well, - however. We keep Thanksgiving in Hawaii very heartily as good Americans. The institution could hardly have been indigenous here. Seed-time and harvest do not belong to this mild clime. How gently our nominal winter opens today upon us.

Another one has just been withdrawn from the last few and fast closing lives of the Missionary Parents. Mrs. Ursul i Sophia Newell Emerson has, in her turn, been taken to her blessed Rest, at the advanced age of eighty-two years. The announcement came by telephone from Waialua, in the early hours of Saturday, November 24th, that the dear and venerated mother Emerson had passed away at three o'clock. She had sat at the supper table in her usual health and cheerfulness. At the hour of retiring, she was taken ill. The local physician found her beyond anything but a relief of present pain. Old age had expended the vital forces, and she soon lapsed into the last sleep. Dr. N. B. Emerson chartering the steamer Kaala, the Revs. Dr. C. M. 93 The Friend. NIJMItKR 12. Hyde, S. B. Bishop and E. S. Timoteo, with other friends proceeded to Waialua in the evening, arriving at the old Kmcr son home about midnight. The attenu- ated and venerable form of the dear Mother lay there, attended by her af fectionate Hawaiian friends and former pupils, who watched lovingly therewith, until the last moment. Funeral services were held on Sunday noon, in the Hawaiian church. A con gregation of eighty Hawaiians and thirty whites was gathered. Key. K. S. Timoteo, the pastor, and Rev. S. E. Bishop offered prayers and addressed the people in Hawaiian. Dr. Hyde prayed and spoke tonchingly and appropriately in English. Three familiar and favorite Hawaiian hymns were sung. The grave was opened by the side of tfiat of the husband, Rev. J. S. Emerson. As the precious form was laid therein, the strains of " Sweet Bye and Bye" floated tenderly on the air, the voices blending in English and Hawaiian. Mrs. Emerson was born at Nelson, N. H., Sept. 27, 1806; she made public profession of religion in March, 1829; was united in marriage Oct. 25, 1831 to the Rev. John S. Emerson, then under appointment as missionary of the A. B. C. P. M., and sailed from New Bedford Nov. 26, 1831, in the ship Averick. Mr. and Mrs. Emerson were stationed at Waialua, which was their life-home, saving four years from 1812 to 1846, spent at Lahainaluna Seminary. Mr Emerson died of apoplexy March 28 1867, and fortwenty-one years in widowhood, the aged Mother Emerson has continued to abound to the last in good works and faithful labors for the people to whose service her life was consecrated. She was in her accustomed place on her last Sabbath, instructing her Bible-class. Mr. and Mrs. Emerson enjoyed but once a furlough from their Missionary labors, visiting the homeland in 1860. Among the more obvious traits of Mrs. Emerson's very lovely character, were a patient fidelity to duty, and great gentleness towards others. During a life acquaintance, we do not remember ever to have heard a severe or unkind expression respecting others from her �94 lips. A tone of sweet and patient kindness toward all seemed to pervade her nature. Her house for fifty-six years so familiar to all who passed through Waialua was always sweet with her gentle pretence, full of kind words and kindly attentions. With all this ruled a quiet common sense and sound judgment, eminently adapted to the manifold emergencies and strange contingencies of a missionary's life. Mrs. Emerson's was one ol the very few .ild missionary homes which have been kept up after the death of the husband and lather, especially where as at Waialua, the once large native population has become reduced to a small remnant. Of the large reinforcement of 183J, her death leaves Mrs. Arm strong now in San Jose, and Mrs. Hitchcock of Hilo, the sole survivors. Two sons lie by their parents at Waialua, and a daughter in the old mission graveyard at Kawaiahao in Honolulu. Five sons survive, Mr. Samuel N, Emerson, long resident at the old home; Dr. Nathaniel B. Emerson of Honolulu. President of the Board of Health; Dr. Justin E. Emerson, of Detroit, Mich.; Mr. Joseph S. Emerson ol the Government Survey; and Key. Oliver P. Emerson, of Peacedale, R. 1., now under appointment as Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board. It is a sight of rare sweetness to observe a bright and peaceful old age like that of Mrs. Emerson, closing so gently and easily. It was an old age not without its special cares and solicitudes The busy bravely and patiently borne. and skilful hands wrought to the last. The unresting feet, though weary, did not forsake their wonted rounds, although filial care had supplied efficient aid to relieve. Her church and Sabbath school cares she never relinquished. Though her strength had greatly failed, it was her noble record to have "died in harness," even in her great old age. Yet with all her care and toil and solicitude, her presence did not impart care and worry to others, but was ever a ciieerfuland gladdening presence through the lender and patient quietness that ruled her spirit. Mrs. Emerson's faith seems to have been always full and trustful. Her soul ever rested on the Lord. We have laid away her aged form to its last sleep, in the bright hope of a glorious Resurrection. We have the dear assurance that this aged and toilworn servant of tne Lord has passed easily and gently to a higher life of joy, of growing gladness and glory, of endless youth and vigor. Earthly opulence she had never tasted. Now we cannot but count the departed saint as truly and highly rich in all the real wealth ofexistence. We are sure that her life choice of missionary service was a noble and happy choice. By faith we know that it is now gloriously recompensed and con- summated. [December, 1888 THE FRIEND. Dr. Ellis on the Death of Capt. Cook. Aii authentic narrative of a voyage performed by Captain Cook and Captain Clerke. in His Majesty's ships Resolution and Disco-eery during the years 1770, 1777, 1778, 177<J and 17«0; in search of a Northwest Passage between the Continents of Asia and America. Including a faithful account of their discoveries, and the unfortunate death of Captain Cook. By W. Ellis, Assistant Surgeon Co both vessels. London, Mdcclxxxii. *J vols. The above work is believed to be c\ tremely rare. It appears to have been unknown to Mr. Pomander (and therefore to all preceding historians of the Hawaiian Islands), according to the following passage from his History, referring to the death of Captain Cook. "There are three independent sources of information: King's continuation of Cook's journal, Ledyard's life, and the records of native reminiscences." To these Dr Ellis' account adds a fourth source of testimony. The book came for a short time into the hands of the present Editor of the pRIENOa few years ago, and portions were copied by him. It was the property of Captain Doughty, 11. B. M. S. Constance. He declined to sell it, but was afterwards prevailed on to part with it to His Majesty Kalakaua, in whose possession we presume it now remains. Capt. Doughty stated that he found it in a second hand book stall. Some little breeze of controversy having lately been re-stirred* as to the circumstances of Cook's death, we present here with the passages of Dr. Hllis' account relating thereto. The statements concerning portions of the body restored to the ship are of especial' interest. The surgeon would naturally be a very competent witness thereto. We may hereafter print other extracts from this book. This portion of the story commences with the return of the ships to Kealakeakua, after their first visit there. The year is 1779. At two in the morning, (Peb. 9th), the Resolution hailed the Discovery, and informed her that she had sprung her foremast, on which account Captain Cook intended to make the best of his way to the old harbor. Our weather proved very disagreeable, with a strange unaccountable sea, attended with a very short and heavy swell, one of which came rolling in at the great cabin windows, and almost carried away everything in it. Our observed latitude was 20 degrees, 5 minutes N. We found a strong current running to the northward. The next day was cloudy, with heavy showers ofrain, and the whole of it spent in endeavoring to regain our port, but will success, so were obliged to stand oft'and on all night. Thursday, (the 13th), was fine with flying c!"uds, and at half-past six in the morning, the Resolution anchored in the bay; the Discovery not being far enough to the eastward, was obliged to tack and turn to windward, and at nine dropped her .in, hor likewise. All hands were immediately employed in preparing to ,he Resolution's foremast, which gel job v, is next day effected, when it was conveyed on shore, and the carpenters of both ships set to work upon it. The natives cone off as before, and we purchased hogs, breadfruit, tarrow, and other productions of the island, as usual; but we could not avoid observing that they were more bold and daring in their attempts to thieve than before. Saturday, (Peb. 13th), the weather was clear and pleasant, and our carpenters weie at work upon the mast, while our launches were employed in filling water out of a kind of well in the rocks, near the head of the bay. The natives wen, on board as usual, trading for hogs, &c, and the women were also trading in then way. It must be observed that many of the Indians had been, both now and before, very attentive to the armorer while at work, and took particular notice of the tongs and chisels which he made use of, with his mode of using them; and finding that they were so essentially necessary in the forming the different iron work, they had long beheld them with an eager eye, and were fully persuaded, if they were once possessed of them, they also could work as well as we. Urged by this motive, one of them, at the instigation of Purraah (Palea) as we afterwards found, watched an opportunity, while the armorer of the Dist over v's back was turned, seized the tongs and jumped overboard; s.imt of our people immediately pursued, and soon took him, and being brought on board, he received quite a severe thrashing. In the afternoon another fellow, set on likewise by Purniah, ran from the opposite side of the deck, and in the face 01 several people, seized both tongs and chisel, with which he made off. This was so sudden and daring an attempt, that for some time we were at a loss how to act, and the man had got on board a canoe that was waiting for him at a distance, before a boat was sent in pursuit of him. Several muskets were fired, but without effect, and the canoe had greatly the advantage of our boat, Punaah, who was at this time on board, said he would endeavor to recover them, and immediately put off. After a long chase, the canoe got in -shore, and the man landed; the boat arrived soon after, and Mr. Edgar, the master of the Disrovery, who had been sent in her, landed also. The natives upon this pelted them with stones, and a skirmish ensued; Purraah, who soon came after, seized Mr. Edgar, and secured his arms behind him. At this instant, the Resolution's • �Volume 46, No. 12.] THE FRIEND. 95 pinnace arrived, and one of the men, tendants, who probably were apprehen- under his left eye; Mr. Phillips was seeing Mr. Edgar's situation, struck sive of some design, earnestly begged wounded in the shoulder, and a corporal Purraah with his oar, who instantly and entreated that he would not.

The body being demanded, some told Mr. King that it should be brought off on the morrow, others.said that it was cut in pieces. Nothing farther could be learned from them; the boats therefore returned. The ships' companies, exasperated to the highest degree at the loss of their commander, and still more enraged at this behavior of the Indians, desired Captain Clerke's permission to go on shore, declaring that they would bring off the body in spite of everything, and burn down the town; this rash request of theirs was, however, prudently denied. During the night, a good lookout was ordered to be kept, lest the Indians should meditate an attack, and a boat was directed to row continually around the ships. Monday, (Peb. 15th), Hying clouds with showers of rain. Abo.ut ten in the morning, three of the natives, (one of whom was a priest) came off with a flag of truce. He told us we should have the Captain's body to-morrow, and was very desirous that Captain Clerke and Mr. King should go on shore with him; but this was entirely out of the question. In the afternoon, the effects of Captain Cook were disposed of; and about half-past seven in the evening, we were alarmed by the firing of two musUpon kets on board the Resolution. euquiry, we found that the sentry had discovered two Indians in a canoe under the ship's bows; they begged us to desist from all acts of violence, as they came on terms of friendship; and having hauled their canoe into the pinnace, which was alongside, they came on board, one having a bundle under his arm. Mr. King, who ran upon deck immediately upon the discharge of the muskets, perfectly recollected one of them, who had always shown a great attachment to Captain Cook. When introduced into the great cabin, they untied the bundle, which upon examination, contained the fleshy part of a man's thigh, the bone being taken out; this they told us, belonged to Captain Cook, and was all that remained of him, the rest being burnt. As they had brought this off by stealth, they were fearful of coming on board till it was dark, lest they should be observed by any of their own people. Having staid till ten. they returned to the shore. About twelve, three girls from the Morae side of the bay, swam -on board, and soon after a canoe, in which were two Indians, came alongside, but were desired to return, which they did very quietly. The girls remained on board. Tuesday, (the 16th), pleasant weather, with flying clouds. Several canoes passed and repassed from the shore to the Resolution. About noon, three of the natives came off in a canoe, and paddling towards the Resolution, one of them got up, and waved the hat which belonged to Captain Cook, threw several stones, and slapped hi«. posteriors. This being THE FRIEND. observed from the ship, several muskets and four great guns loaded with round shot, were fired at them, but without effect; they, however, did some mischief on shore, for soon after two Indians came off in a canoe, and told us they had killed one of their chiefs. The command of the Resolution, in consequence of the death of Captain Cook, devolved to Captain Clerke, and Mr. Gore, first lieutenant of the Resolution, succeeded Captain Clerke; Mi. King and Mr. Williamson were appointed first and second lieutenants, and Mi. Harvey, masters' mate was made third, February the 17th. In the morning, the Discovery hauled nearer the watering place, in order to protect the boats from the insults of the natives during their taking in water. Upon our people's landing, they were at first quiet, but soon after collected themselves, and began to fling stones. Several great guns wen. fired from the Discovery, whicli checked their progress a little; but they soon began again, and being sheltered by their houses and walls, our muskets did very little execution. In the afternoon, before the boats went again, the Discovery fired a number of guns, loaded with round and grape-shot, into the midst of the town; after which the boats were sent on shore, and our people set fire to tht houses, which cleared them effectually. In this attack, six of the natives were killed; and the sailors were so much enraged, that in spite of everything, they cut off the heads of two, one of which they tied to the bow of the Resolution's. large cutter, and the other they carried on board; hut as soon as the Captain was informed of the affair, he gave immediate orders for the heads to be thrown overboard. Many of the Indians. who had assembled upon the hills im mediately above the watering place. pushed down large pieces of rocks, but they fortunately did no damage except killing one of their own people. This was observed from the Discovery, and in order to dislodge them, two or three swivels were fired, which answered the purpose very well. One of the Indians was taken prisoner, and carried on board the Resolution. This poor fellow tully expected to be killed, and even after he was released, could at first scarcely believe otherwise; hut finding we had no such intention, he was at loss to express his gratitude sufficiently; every day during theremainder of our stay, he brought us breadfruit, tarrow, plaintains, and several hogs, and was almost continually on board. To wards the evening, a priest, named Kari-kaah, who resided near the morae, and had been our friend even to the last, came on board with a pig, which he presented to the Captain, who made him several presents, after which he re turned to the shore. Thursday, the 18th. In the morning, the boats were again dispatched for water, but not an Indian was to be seen. [December, 1888 About seven in the evening, one of them came swimming off to the ship upon a piece of wood, whereon was tied a bundle of roasted breadfruit. It was purchased of him, and he staid on board near an hour, and then returned to the shone. Whilst this man was with us. a canoe with three Indians came along side, laden with breadfruit and sugar cane; we very gladly bought their com modities, after which they departed. Hogs now were a very scarce article, so ih.it at length we were obliged to begin upon our corned pork. Friday morning, the boats were sent for water as before, which was now filled without the least molestation from tht Indians. Many canoes were paddling about, all of which carried flags of truce. In tiie afternoon, a chief came on board the Resolution, from Teniaboo, (Kalanioputi), to Captain Clerke, informing him that lie would bring all the remaining bones of Captain Cook, at the same time begged that we would enter into a league of friendship with him, and lay all animosities aside; that Terriabo6 was very sorry for the melancholy affair that had happened, and if we should ever come to this island again, he entreated that we should not hurt or molest them. i lie.-se terms being agreed to, he depart id very well satisfied. This man was dressed in one of those elegant long cloaks, with a green wreath on his head. I'he next morning at eleven, the chief came on board, bringing with him two bundles of cloth, which contained the iiones of our unfortunate Captain; the upper part of the skull, the scalp with the hair and ears, the bones of the thighs, legs and arms, and the hands on which was the flesh were all that remained; the ribs and vertebrae he told us were burned. They had cut off the long hair behind, which he said was in possession of Komrnaah-maah, a chief nearly relat ed to Teniaboo. The hands had several incisions in a longitudinal direction, both upon the back and inside, and a quantity of salt had been rubbed in, with a view to prevent putrefaction. Things being thus amicably settled, we the next day, (Sunday -Ist), purchased several fine hogs and plenty of breadfruit of the natives, who now came on board without the least signs of fear: among them was Kari-caah, our friendly priest. In the afternoon, the sad remains of Captain Cook were committed to the deep, with all the honors due on such an occasion.

Some who do not venture to criticize Christ, express their estimate of him by classing him with Confucius, Zoroaster. Buddha, and Mohammed. Those who do this certainly succeed in classing themselves, and not among great thinkers. You may class St. Peter's with New England meeting-houses, as being edifices for religious purposes; you may class Pike's Peak with the foot hills at its base, for they are all elevations of the earth's surface; but you cannot class |csus Christ with the founders of religions because he differs from them, not merely in degree but in kind.

There are over 900 lepers now at the settlement, with two Catho lie priests and an assistant. Are our Evangelical Churches doing what they might for these poor unfortunates ? Rev. G. B. Kaonohimaka at Kekaha, North Kona, is very feeble from the weight of years. L. K. Kalawe, has been chosen acting pastor at Puula, Puna, and is doing vigorous work among that sparse population. A Hawaiian by the name of Kekipi is emulating the Christian Science Healing of some cranks around Boston, and has started around Kohala a new sect, devoted to faith cure, and called "Ka Hoomana Hoonaauao" (Science Worshippers). The new pastors at Waimea, Waipio, Paauhau and Laupahoehoe, are doing good work in their respective fields. The Young People's Christian Associations are being modified more and more after the fashion of the societies of Christian Endeavor. A subscription has been started to repair the old Mission Church, and the Agent of the A. B. C. E. M. has authorized Mr. Hofgaard to proceed with the work with what funds he has on hand. Rev. Isaac Goodell, who makes Koloa his headquarters is doing evident good on that side of the Island, organizing Sunday Schools, supplying singing books and Testaments, and awakening new religious activity generally. J. Niau is preaching at Lihue, and will probably receive a call. This is the church of which Rev. J. H. Hanaike was formerly the pastor. S. Oili, now acting pastor at Anahola, failed of ordination, because of some informality in the call given to him. There are but very few Hawaiians now residing at Kapaa, and that place should be made ■ part of the field of the Anahola church. Rev. J. W. Kaapu, pastor of the church at Hanalei. is incapacitated by a para lytic stroke. J. Kanoho is now preaching there. It is hoped a successful effort will soon be made to pay oil all the indebtedness of this church to its H. former pastors. nse ission. TheJapM A Japanese steamer brought 1085 more Japanese laborers, Nov. 13th, Interesting religious services were held at the Immigration Depot the Sunday after their arrival. In a little more than 1 week the whole company had been distributed among the different plantations that had made applications for them. The Japanese Government has, from the very first, endeavored to guard the interests and to secure the welfare of its people, taken from the teeming millions of the home land to find new homes and more remunerative labor in these islands. Seven-tenths of those who came first to the island! under a three years' contract, will be permanently added to our heterogeneous population. Christian people ought to be alive and diligently at work for the Christiani/ation of this additional heathen element, while these Japanese are likely to be most easily and favorably impressed. But Christian people at the islands are few in numbers, and few of them are in possession of great wealth. Their own religious necessities demand their first thought, and what money they have to spare. They are many of them interested on work for Hawaiians, and especially pledged to that. They are ready to assist personally and pecuniarily; but the work to be done by a few score of Christian people among thousands of Portuguese, Chinese, and Japanese is overwhelmingly great. We cannot stem the current of superstition, worldliness, and infidelity. We cannot easily control, much less, direct it. Under these circumstances it has been with devout thanksgiving for this providential mercy, that we have welcomed the coming among us of other Christian workers from San Erancisco, specially competent to take up the work for the Japanese. The corps of laborers is too small for the five or six thousand Japanese, only Rev. Mr. Miyama and his wife, and Mr. Ukai, to whom is now added one more, Mr. Takeshita, who arrived by the last steamer. There ought to be certainly two at work on each ii other islands, that is, six additional laborers. Can our San Prancraoo friends do as much as that for the Islands? Japanese in the Hawaiian The work among the Japanese has taken a Strong hold. There is opposition to it as might be expected, from " fellows nf the baser sort.'' We cannot, however, be too thankful that the ,: representatives of the Japdipl anew !i ivcrnment are favorable to Christian y ork, and judiciously promote, as far ;h their official position allows of active participation', all schemes for the tnoral and religious uplifting of their people. The Japanese Temperance Society, of which Mr. Ando is President, now numbers over 1,100 members, and the Mutual Benefit Union, of which Mrs. Ando is President, has more than 3,000 members enrolled. A convention of delegates from the local societies was held last week in Honolulu. Some forty members were present. The sessions were opened with prayer. No smoking was allowed, nor any coarse talk. The convention closed ,with a collation at Queen Emma Half Monday noon. On the Sunday evening previous a subscription was started, and live hundred dollars pledged for a hospital for sick Japanese. The wonderful work of grace in connection with which every member of the Japanese Consulate was last June brought out into the privileges and activities of Christian life, has had its counterpart recently in a fresh outpouring of the converting influences of the Holy Spirit. All the employes of the Japanese store on King street were simultaneously brought to see the futility of opposition to the claims and promise of Christ Jesus, and avowed their trust in Him as their personal Saviour. The next day was observed as a season of special prayer, and in the evening, when the handful of Japanese Christians met for a special service of thanksgiving, three others came out on the Lord's side. Meetings were held every evening, and during the week thirteen in all made public profession of faith in Christ. Sunday morning, Nov. Ilth, a consecration service was held in the Lyceum, which through the kindness of Mr. J. T. Waterhouse, has been placed at the disposal of the Japanese for their religious meetings. Rev. Mr. Miyama administered the rite of baptism. Rev. S. E. Bishop and Rev. C. M. Hyde, took part in the communion service which followed. The participants knelt at a long bench in front of the table. It was an impressive sight to see so many of different nationalities, and different church connections, uniting in thus celebrating together the most sacred rite of our Christian faith, which testifies not only to Christ's foregoing grace, but to the loving sway with which He unites all believers in penitent humility before the cross, on which His self-sacrificing atonement was made for the sins of men.

Judson Smith, D. 1)., one of the Secretaries of the Board, on " Our Missionary Opportunity in China." Most vividly does the writer state the present needs of this vast mission field and pleads, with noble fervor, for men and means to carry forward the glorious work of the Evangelisation of this might}' Empire. It would be stimulating to us all in Hawaii nei to read and ponder this earnest appeal to the Christian church of our day. I wish it might be possible to reproduce in full all that this valuable article contains. As this is not possible, I would most earnestly ask all who are interested in the up building of the Redeemer's Kingdom to read for themselves Dr. Smith's paper, published in the November number of the Missionary Herald. At the risk of occupying considerable space in the col umns of the Fkiknd, I am tempted to give one important extract " China has been known to the western world for nearly three thousand years; never has she quite sunk below its horizon. She has been visited and something of her vastness exposed, but the effort at comprehension and permanent communion has been but fitful and has often died away. It is not a little significant to note how Providence is compelling" the great Christian powers of our day to face this problem; how active and persistent the Chinese question is becoming in America, in Australia, in the South Sea, in the policies of Great Britain and Russia. 'The Chinese be upon thee,' is the haunting dread of many a land, and the trouble will not cease until Christian love has had its rights, until this people have been won to an abiding-place in the Kingdom of Christ. It is a question beyond the composing of armies and ironclads, which neither treaties nor embassies, neither congress norparliament can solve. It is the debt of Christian love which we owe to the greatest empire and the most populous nation of modern times, a debt which nothing but the Gospel of our Lord, freely given and exemplified in thousands of lives, and held up to their view till its wonted miracle is wrought, can ever quite discharge. Let the Chinese, sought out with patience and won with Christian love, become a new creation in Christ Jesus; at once all jarring collisions, all violent antipathies, all divided interests, will cease, and the Christian church will be doubled in volume and power. Wordsare powerless to convey, the imag ination fails to comprehend, the meaning and grandeur of such a miracle; and yet this is the very task which God appoints to our times and by a thousand voices is bidding us to attempt boldly and at once. This is not the only great enterprise to which the age is sum- : another august undertaking lies immediately before this generation and cannot be neglected. But, this also, is upon us, in all its vast dimensions and unfathomed meaning. God does not permit us either to ignore or to evade it. And it becomes us to face our whole duty and measure the unspeakable privilege of our times by the unparalleled opportunities God has set before us. The sun has looked on nothing like it since Saint Paul and his companions were led forth of the Holy Ghost for the Evangelization of the Roman Empire, and we are the chosen of God for this august service." With singular and thrilling emphasis does this come home to us, dwelling in a land where the representatives of this great empire are numbered by thousands. It is not a question of politics, of national likes or dislikes, nor of ease or difficulty, but a clear, undisguised duty, as followers of the Lo.rd Jesus Christ, to the immortal souls about us. We should not allow other issues to blind us to this matter, which is one of supreme and imperative importance. It is a sign full of hope and promise that so many of our Christian people are feeling an earnest interest in the evangelization of the Chinese, and it is most earnestly to be hoped that this interest will gather force and power until all of this nationality dwelling among us, are brought under the beneficent influence of the Gospel. As was stated in a recent issue of the FriKND, new reinforcements and equipments are needed for adequately carrying forward this work. But a comparatively small section of this great field can now be reached with the force now here. To our land it is a question of most vital importance whether the Chinese are to be made acquainted with the uplifting principles of Christianity. It is a sneer, unworthy of notice that they are beyond the reach of the Gospel, and one which no true Christian can for a moment entertain. There are those of this nationality living in our midst, gathered out of the darkness of heathenism, whose daily lives are an attestation to the power and beauty of Christianity. No one can thus limit the blessed power of the Holy .Spirit. In view of the reflex influence of our work upon China, our efforts here take on a peculiar significance. Yearly hundreds of Chinese leave our shores for that land. The influences for good or evil which they have received here, are to aid or retard the spread of the Gospel in the portion of the Chinese Empire to which they go, which as we have seen is regarded as a subject of such vast importance. Let us then while the opportunity is offered be faithful to the work, which is given us to do. It was my intention to mention some of the points of interest in our work ried forward, but I find that I have already overrun my limits and must leave this to another time. I would like, however, in closing to simply call attention to a special effort which is now being made in Honolulu in behalf of Sabbath School work among the Chinese. Pour interesting schools are now in operation, at Makiki, the Chinese Church, the Chinese Mission Room in Hotel Street and at Palama. These are enlisting the services of a numbei of our earnest Christian ladies and gentlemen and young people, notably some of the pupils at Punahou College and Kamehameha School. It is to be hoped that this good work will go forward and influence a still larger number, and that many more of our Christian friends will join with us in this important mission ary undertaking. Earnest efforts are now being made to lift quite a heavy debt which has rested for some time upon our Chinese Y. M. C. A. Hall. Most generously have friends come forward to our aid, giving nobly to remove this burden from a most important branch of Oar mission work. One of them writes as follows: Christian work among the Chinese, I feel to be very important; a work that we should all he ready to assist in. If any others are desirous of following this good example, further donations for this same object will be most gratefullyr eceived. Fkank W. Damon. The Spirit of God lies all about the spirit of man like a mighty sea ready to rush in at the smallest chink in the walls that shut him out from his own. We learn from Rev. T. L. Gulick, that arrangements are making for the dedication of the new church edifice at Paia, E. Maui, on some day in January. Rev, Oliver P. Emerson has received the appointment of the Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, in place of Rev. A. 0. Forbes, deceased. We hope for his arrival some time in January. In the wise Providence of God, our dear brother is not to have the satisfaction of again greeting the aged mother, who has just left us. Through the kindness of Mr. B. F. Dillingham, the teachers of Punahou Schools, of Kawaiahao Seminary, and of Kamehameha Schools, have one of those delightful trips to Pearl Lochs on the stern-wheeler Eva, Our better half, who is a poor sailoress, returned highly enthusiastic the other day from such a trip. And it was a delightful skim around those long reaches of water, with their smiling shores, and the beautiful long mountain ranges stretching away so far.

He intimate!, that by the mere omission to direct the pupil to the Church of Rome as God's sole channel on earth for human salvation, any religioui instruction necessarily becomes I'rotestant and soul-deluding instruction. Bishop Hermann is a very estimable priest, and we honor his candid and straight-forward presentation of his opinion, and of the fixed position of his church. It is not a bad thing to havethus distinctly brought before us those extreme demands of Rome for absolute submission to the behests of an Italian prelate and his ecclesiastics, who thus usurp the authority of our Divine Lord and King, and presume to interpose their arrogant claims between the soul and its Redeeming Shepherd and Master. Religious people often apply this term As to the schools, however, we are to public schools in which there are no not going to distress ourselves about religious exercises or religious instruction. Rev. Dr. Hyde recently lamented the exclusion of the Bible as a reading book from the Hawaiian schools, which (correctly, we think) he imputed to the late Judge Pomander, when holding the office of Inspector-General of schools, some twenty-five years ago. It was done in compliance with unquestionably the demands of the Catholic priesthood, Mr. Fomander being himself a Catholic, so far as he was not a free-thinker. This drew out Bishop Hermann, "of Olba." A rejoinder followed from"A Protestant Layman." Others took part, and there has been a general interchange of opposing views, conducted in a very courteous tone. Nothing new has been elicited. The Roman Bishop has asserted the well-known claims and position of his church as to religious instruction. The Protestant Layman has pointed out that there might be instruction and exercises in those Christian doctrines and precepts, so numerous and weighty, in which Protestants and Catholics alike agree. The Bishop utterly refuses to hear of any religious instruction for the children of his flock which does not emphatically teach that Christ's salvation can be received only through the priesthood of Rome. These are not his precise words, but they embody his The public school system of Hawaii is the child of the American Protestant Mission. As far as the schools are concerned, the Roman Catholic priesthood are mere interlopers. They never teach the common people in Catholic countries, even to read. The very idea of schooling is foreign to the minds of these Catholic Portuguese. The Romish priest dreads to have his flock know how to read, and above all to read the Bible for themselves. They will never learn anything in that book about the authority of the Pope, or the worship of Mary, or confession to the priest, or purgatory, or holj water, or indulgences, or any of the heathenistic accretions with which the Greek and Latin churches corrupted themselves during the miserable centuries of the dying Roman Empire. They will learn something entirely different in that blessed Book, even the pure doctrine of Christ and his Apostles. That Book must be diligently kept from the eyes and the understandings of the Catholic laity, lest they fall away from the authority of Rome, and so perish everlastingly. The general education of the laity, the Common School system, is something that Rome detests. Since, however, in Hawaii, as in the United States, Protestant Christianity got the lead, and the laws require all children to receive a good common school education, the priests make great and often creditable exertions to maintain schools of their own, where their youth shall be thoroughly indoctrinated into the Catholic corruptions of Christianity. We learn that the very worthy and zealous priests are now diligently forbidding the Portuguese parents to send their children to the new government school on School street, where tuition is free. They must send them to St. Louis College, and pay the fees. We hope that flourishing institution will turn out as really well educated pupils as any other school in the kingdom. If it does, we feel safe that they will become too intelligent largely to remain zealous Roman Catholics. - what would doubtless be an unavailing effort to have the public schools opened as formerly with Scripture reading and prayer. We should always send our own children in preference, to a school in which Bible religion was made prominent in the teachings of the istru:tors, anU also in their lives. We should hope, however, that the home teaching and example would render the lack of this a matter of minor importance. Why need a day school for teaching letters and mathematics and elementary science be denounced as "Godless" any more than a music school, or sewing school, or a cooking school, or a book-keeping class in the Y. M. C. A? We don't suppose that Mr. P. C. Jones opens his blackboard exercises with prayer; but no doubt the young fellows are the better for the evening's contact with a hearty, manly Christian. In a boarding school, the religious element becomes of essential importance in the Christian view, because it involves the daily home life of the pupils. But the Government public schools are only day schools. If by reason of relentless Romish resistance, we cannot have the Bible taught in them, we think the next best thing is to accept the secular mental training without it, and strive to supplement the The right to live involves the purpose to live aright. spiritual pabulum otherwise. �THE FRIEND. 86 Outings from the City. We drove out the other day to the Halawa divide, overlooking Kwa, five miles out. The road is now in superb order, barring a few spots in Palama. Those evil hills in Moanalua have been nicely graded down, as the) ought to have been thirty years ago. At least three of the five miles are newly graded and metaled. The present Department shows such a turn for road work, thai we even expect to see those absurd and horrible hills in Kalauao and Waimalu abolished before long, by throwing the ascent seawards, where even the clumsiest engineer would put it. It is a shame to leave such grades on the main thoroughfare seven and eight miles only from town. Forty yeara long have we endured this grievance—will one Thurston prove the deliverer from it ? Our companion on the drive was friend Kluegel who comes to lay out the railroad to Ewa. Some fourteen years ago he married Miss Mary Taylor, who was born here, the daughter of the first pastor of Fort Street Church, and granddaughter of the Thurstons. We trust Mr. K. may find it best to send for his He has had man)' years exfamily. perience on the Northern Pacific, Mexican Central, and other railroads. The line to Kwa is an unusually easy one, and running through rich districts, ought to be a very paying one. To glide on the rails along the beautiful Kwa Lochs, will give us charming and easy outings from Honolulu. From the broad Puuloa flats is a most noble view of our main mountain Siena with its deep furrowing canyons. We hope ere long to see that rich but arid plain vitalized by artesian fountains, and alive with green farms and populous homesteads. The district of Kwa is surcharged with copious fountains of water, but too little above the sea level to be available for the rich slopes above. Hon. Mark Robinson has for some years been lifting the water of one spring eight) feet by a turbine pump, copiously irrigating sixty or more acres of bananas on the upland. There are several thousand acres of rich soil a few miles beyond, irrigable by a lift of from twenty to sixty feet. Much of this tract can probably be supplied by Artesian wells without lifting. The watershed of Kwa is enormous, and the rainfall heavy on the upper rfflges as the rank verdure testifies. Of the lighter and more frequent showers inland, all soaks through the porous rocks, to emerge near the shores of the Lochs, or to be stored in the artesian water-bed. The storm waters rush in What tnormous floods to the lagoon. will ultimately be done wili be to construct systems of storage reservoirs by frequent dams across the ravines, whose slope is very gentle. From these the water will be led out over all the lower and richer uplands. We have no doubt that ultimately some ten thousand acres of exceptionally rich land in the Kwa district will be reclaimed by irrigation. Probably much of this will be so reclaimed in a short time, after the railroad opens the district more thoroughly than the present water communication can do. Mud shoals obstruct communtca tion with the shore along many miles of the finest lands around the lagoons. 'The United States Congress have just appropriated $260,000 at Major Powell's suggestion for preliminary surveys of the Rocky Mountain canyons with* the view of constructing storage reservoirs in order to stop the Missouri floods and to irrigate ten million acres of arid lands. Kwa presents a far more promising although a smaller field for like improvement, having a much heavier rainfall. 'The uplands slope more gently than any others in these islands except on the windward side of Kauai, where irrigation is abundant already. The railroad uniting the district closely to the city and port, will render the district, when irrigation is supplied, peculiarly adapted for a varied farming production. French Occupation of Raiatea and Huahine. We are permitted to print part of a letter from Raiatea, dated June 7, IKNK, the writer of which, we are assured is a reliable witness. The French have possessed 'Tahiti some forty years. It appears that by some recent convention with Great Britain, the consent of the latter was given the 'fahitian government to annex the adjacent islands of Raiatea and Huahine. 'This appears to have been in consideration of the surrender by France of the New Hebrides to Great Britain. Raiatea in common with the other Society islands, has been evangelized for some seventy or eighty years. The people have, however, made no such progress in civilization or intelligence as have Hawaiians. It seems very doubtful whether French governors are likely to improve them socially or financially. Polynesians prosper best when they ally to themselves philanthropic whites, and submit to their direction in politics and finance. The brave Raiateans merit our sympathy; but it is unlikely that they are capable of conducting any government which can cope with the conditions created by the growing trade of the Pacific Ocean. I think I told you of the first bombardment of the Tevaitoa, and the retreat of the natives to the mountains; so to proceed, on the seventeenth of March France formally annexed the whole of the group, and hoisted their flag in the presence of the French party only numbering about thirty spectators, and couldn't raise a cheer among the whole lot. * * [November, 1888 On the '21st, the Governor of Tahiti with the frigate Dceres went to Huahine and found that the people had revolted and put down the (,)ueen and all the governors, for allowing the French to take the islands, and had installed a new (,)ueen. The Decres commenced to shell the beach, and landed a force of marines and sailors in three lots. They were met by a handful of natives and their officer and three men killed and 21 men wounded, all in about ten minutes. The French had been firing from small arms, gatling and shell guns, and managed to slightly wound one native. After the loss of their men, they beat a retreat to their ship, taking their flag with them, and sued for peace, which was granted on the conditions that no Frenchmen should land, and the removal of the soldiers. As soon as the news reached here, the natives were all of a ferment, and Tanaau, who had removed his headquarters to Avera valley, called all his men together and declared war, and sent written notices to all the white men to clear out of the way. The French commenced to fortify the King's house, and intrenched themselves there. The two men-of-war got their broadsides to bear on ihe beach, and everybody cleared out with the exception of two Americans, and Mason and myself. The missionary, who was very sick, got into his boat and went to Avera and had a personal interview with Tanaau, and after five hours hard talking, prevailed upon him to stop for two weeks to give him time to write to the English Consul to know for certain if these islands were ceded to PranceThe French were as mad as hornets with Mr. Richards for the action he had taken in the matter, and threatened to place him under arrest; but if he hadn't stopped it, 1 believe there wouldn't have been a Frenchman left on the beach. At the end of the two weeks came a letter from the Consul, but the natives wouldn't credit it and resolved to light, but said they wouldn't fight in the settlement, but would await the French at Avera. After an interval of two weeks more, which was spent by the French in binning and destroying houses in the settlement, they proceeded to Avera with the Decres and to the 'Tevaitoa with the Scorpion, and kept up a most furious bombardment the whole of the day, throwing shell and round shot as fast as they could. Gatlings in all their tops and in all their boats. 'They returned to their anchorage at five o'clock, and very quietly buried two sailors at midnight. Of course we knew nothing of what had happened at Avera, and 1 for one was very much surprised to hear that the native loss was one man slightly wounded and one dog and one horse killed at Avera, and at Tevaitoa nil. When theFrench heard of the success of their efforts, their rage knew no bounds. Since that time they have attempted nothing, but have occupied �Volume 46, No. 11.] their time in strengthening their fort and in destroying houses and pigs belonging to the rebel party, who make an occasional demonstration with a few men just to keep the French awake. The greater part of the people, non-combatants, are living on some small islands in the lagoon, and all business stopped. We are now expecting the Admiral, and I will let you know what eventuates on his arrival. Can write no more now, as the steamer leaves for Tahiti at once. A. G. B. Commodore Perry Observes the Sabbath. The third day dawned, again to usher in fresh anomaly. The Americans would transact no business on this clay. Why ? It was the Sabbath, for rest and worship, honored by the "Admiral" from childhood in public as well as private life. "Dontaku" (Sunday,) the interpreter told the bunio. With the aid of glasses from the bluffs on shore, the) saw the Mississippi's capstan wreathed with a flag, a big book laid thereon, and smaller books handed around. One in a gown, lowered his head, and all listening did likewise. Then all sang, the band lending its instrumental aid to swell the volume of sound. The strains floated shoreward and were heard. The music was "Old Hundred." In the afternoon a visiting party of minor dignataries was denied admittance to the decks of the vessels. Nor was this a mere freak of Perry's, but according to a habit and principle. This was the American Rest-day. The Commodore was but carrying out a habit formed at his mother's knee, and never slighted at home or abroad. "This was the only notable demonstration which he made before landing." A strange summons to the Japanese was this Sabbath morning salutation. The waters of Yedo Bay have since become a baptismal flood.— Griffis' Life of Perry.

The author has left the fitting encomiums of his father's life and work to be given in a chapter of memorial discourses and testimonials. But all through the book, one feels brought in contact with a devout and consecrated, as well with a heroic and generous spirit—one who loved his Lord, and loved his fellow men. We wish the portrait of Father Alexander were less sombre; and yet one sees there the eyes and lips prone to the cordial smile and genial jest, as well as the lineaments of the brave and resolute soldier. 'The volume is enriched by a brief memorial ol Mrs. Alexander who departed this life after the book had gone to press.

By William Hillebrand, M. D. Annotated and published after the author's death, by W. F. Hillebrand. London: Williams St Norgate. New York: B. Westermann & Co. Heidelbeig, Carl Winter, University bookseller. 1888. Bvo pp. 673. Four maps. Dr. Hillebrand was the most eminent naturalist who has resided for a length of time in these islands. Their most secret recesses were diligently explored by him for many years. The fruit of his greatest life-work is fitly embodied in this noble volume, one of the most exhaustive monographs ever produced on such a subject, and generously dedicated to the Hawaiian People, by whom he was greatly beloved and honored. All intelligent citizens of this country mu?.t feel it to be a great boon to be now possessed of a complete and minute account of our Island Flora. There would seem to be about 1500 species described, chiefly indigenous. A Compend of Botany is appended to the work, which will make it available for new learners. The indices appear to be thoroughly executed. Constituting a most valuable part of this book are the eighteen pages of Introduction, fragmentary and unfinished as much of it was left by the lamented death of the author. The testimony of the Island flora to the unbroken isolation of the Group from the Continents on either side, is of the profoundest interest. Dr. Hillebrand was fortunate in leaving a son who could so ably and thoroughly edit his father's work. this memoir of the younger Commodore Perry, lies in the fact that he was the distinguished agent of the United States in opening to the ingress of the world our important neighbor, the Empire of Japan, by the Treaty executed March SI, IKM. It is well known with what tact and straightforwardness Commodore Perry won that great victory over Japan's isolation, without shedding a drop of blood, and without threats or discourtesy. The story is ably narrated by his biographer. Mr. Griffis is the son and grandson of merchant shipmasters, and now Pastor of Shawnut Church, Boston. He writes with enthusiasm, clearness and power. The book is a lively one. He makes it evident that Perry was one of the ablest and noblest on the long list of America's naval heroes. He ascribes to Com. Perry the chief part in the reduction of the cattle of S. Juan dc Ulloa in the Mexican war. He makes him the leading promoter of the use of steamships in the navy, and of the improved guns of his day. Above all he gives the impression of a grand personality, brave, wise, generous and true, if perhaps a little bluff and stern. Our naval friends doubtless know and value this book already. We commend it to landsmen. If one should visit your great city of New York, or other great cities, he would be struck with the noble institutions charity has built up, asylums, almshouses and the like. He would find also such institutions as your Girard College and your Pennsylvania University, instructing the people in everything that can advance and ennoble society. When all this had been seen and applauded, your visitor would pass down your streets and find the dramshops at every corner and crowding the centers of every block. He would ask: "Where do the inmates of the almshouse and the madhouse and of the hospitals come from? How could all this flood of misery creep in?" And the grog-shops make answer: "It is from us." I cannot understand how, year after year, you tolerate the presence of these feeding-grounds of want, misery, debasement and crime in your midst. W.M.Evarts. Mission Life in Hawaii; Memoirs of Rev.

Probably the editor knows and cares as little about Hawaii as he does about Borabora or Butaritari. It is a conundrum to us in Honolulu from what correspondent or informant a Christian paper could have derived such absurd statements as that the Hawaiian Government was on the eve of bankruptcy; and was laying hold of any money it could find for current expenses! The latter imputation does seem to describe the Gibsonian finances. Is it possible that the Christian at Work has fished up some old paragraph about Hawaii to do present duty? The Cjuarterly Report of the Finance Department makes a very satisfactory showing. The Treasury holds a large sum in hand. Customs receipts have increased. The excellent credit of the Government is attested by the large and steady increase of deposits in the Postal Savings Bank, on which the Government pays five per cent, interest. There have been persistent efforts of a malicious nature, to damage our credit abroad for more than a year past, and the Christian at Work has repeatedly, though we must believe inadvertently, countenanced these wretched slanders. This kingdom is, however, substantially independent of foreign credit, although there are projected public improvements which would be facilitated thereby. The Presidential Campaign. In a few days the election of a President of the United States will have taken place. Senator Evarts has called attention to the fact that it is exactly one hundred years since Gen. Washington was first elected to the Presidency, under the then new Constitution. No purer, and but one greater man has succeeded him in that office. It should be matter of thankfulness that in this Centennial campaign no charges of personal unworthiness are being hurled against either Cleveland or Harrison, and that the great issue between the two parties, is only how best to regulate the imperial and overwhelming prosperity of the nation. ac Iits ommon fashion to deprecate itements of the quadrennial Prescampaign as a great evil. Many [November, 1888 persons wish a President need be elected only once in six or eight years, so as to diminish what they think to be the corrupting effects of such excitements. Of course, it is not to be denied that such great agitations are attended by some evil. We think, however, that the benefits are vastly in excess of the harm done. One of the worst conditions in public affairs that can exist in any republic is a general indifference and neglect on the part of the people, and a torpid ignorance upon the great political issues of the times. in each kind of revival, the relative proportions of evil and good will vary according to the spirit and wisdom of the men who promote them. The present campaign seems rather a typical one, a contest upon interesting political issues rather than upon personal merits. It is noted as an interesting coincidence, that the first Act, not of a merely formal nature, passed by the F"irst Congress a century ago, was one enacting a Protective Tariff. months of dull grinding over lessons. Now this is just what the enthusiasm of a Presidential campaign do for multitudes of the people, especially the young. It educates them upon the great questions of national importance. For instance, in the present campaign, it is impossible but that millions of young men will gain an immensely enlarged knowledge and activity of mind upon the great and very important topics of Protection and Free Trade, with all their related topics of Foreign commerce, Domestic manufactures, Tariffs and Taxation. It is urged per contra, that there is a greatly intensified activity of evil in the lower strata of political action, drawing in many who would otherwise have escaped the taint. It seems to us that that sort of foul work is at its worst in the off years. When the great excitement is on, the people are less disposed to stand the foul tricks of the ward caucuses and the bosses. In Presidential yean, corrupt nominations have far less chance than at other times, because the public are more keenly awake. We regard a great political revival, not very differently from what we do a great religious revival, a time of grand enthusiasm and agitation on noble questions—a time not wholly unfruitful of special evils, but vastly more productive of great good. We need not add that with him. It seems to us that the American Board have failed to take in the fact that there are 20,000 Chinese in the Hawaiian Islands in circumstances peculiarly favoring their evangelization, that they live here in the presence of and in contact with a very enlightened and comparatively active Christian community. The same labor expended among them seems far more likely to become fruitful than in China, where few white Christians are to be seen, and the merits of Christian domestic life can seldom be observed. Whatever course is taken as to farther Chinese immigration, it is of the deepest moment to the future of these Islands that the Chinese now here, and to remain here as a large proportion will, should become imbued with Christian sentiments, that they may become good citizens.

The next quarter will show a still greater improvement in Hawaii's financial condition to which the attention of the N. Y. Tribune and Christian at Work, and a few other similar prophets of evil are respectfully invited that they may witness the "bankrupt" condition of this government which they assert "nothing can prevent in the near future." In added proof of the stable condition of the finances of the country, and the confidence reposed in the present government by our own people, it may further disconcert the above referred to prognosticators when we state that the steadily growing receipts from the Postal Savings Bank has necessitated the withdrawal, by the Minister of Finance, of the balance of bonds under the last loan act from the market, in order to have the new legal guarantee to protect Savings Bank depositors, a precaution the late administration cared little for. Figures are not at hand at this writing to show our financial state when the late mal-administration ceased, so as to present the comparison in tabular form, but if there was a more striking contrast required between the late Gibson and present Reform Ministry, than in the Lowrey, chairman of the Entertainment Committee, who afterexpressing pleasure for the occasion that brought them together, and extending brief words of welcome, called upon Messers T. K. Walker and T. May, who responded with a well rendered duet. Mrs. Walker playing the accompaniment. Mr. P. C. Jones followed with brief remarks, saying the Association owed Mr. Cooke a debt of gratitude for the service he had rendered at his own expense. That he had undoubtedly been helped and inspired by what he had seen and heard, and that the members of the Association would be inspired to better service for young men as a result of listening to Mr. Cooke's report which he had conto give in an informal conversational manner. Mr. Cooke, who was received with much eclat, said he thought perhaps the debt was on his side for the honor conferred upon him in appointing him a delegate. He had also received a similar appointnicntfromtb Chinese Branch in this city ai.J fcom the Japanese Branch, in • place of being the delegate of one association, as he had anticipated, he was entrusted with credentials from three, of three different nationalities. It was just four months that night, since he left Honolulu and his brother who had accompanied him followed four days later. They were pained on arriving in San Francisco to hear of the death of Rev. A. O. Forbes, whose funeral they attended on the following Sabbath in Colorado. The following Saturday, July 21st, they left New York in the steamship City of Berlin. There were on board about forty persons on their way to attend the conference, including delegates from Brooklyn and other important places; also Mr. K. C. Morse, General Secretary of the International Committee. Many entertainments were got up during the voyage by the various secre- taires, who were naturally very efficient in that respect. One lady who was not religiously inclined said she had no idea the members were such jolly good fellows. That was an instance of the way 89 in which their influence was exerted among people not connected with them. Several prayer meetings were also held on board and many attended them, because they had met the members at the entertainments. On arrival of the boat at Liverpool they heard of a reception provided for their comfort, also the delegates who had already arrived in London, by Mr. Geo. Williams, founder of the Y. M. C. A. at Exeter Hall. They themselves did not have the pleasure of attending, because the)' had left the boat at Cjueenstown; also because it had been planned by the English brethren to make an excursion to the fjords, in the north of Norway. The part of the company who went there from Ireland met the others at Edinburgh, where a reception was provided for the delegates. From thence they embarked in a small steamer. There were about eighty delegates, and the trip was made in twelve days. It was described as most charming and the scenery simply wonderful. On arriving at Thronsjem they found waiting for them a special car ordered by King Oscar to carry them to Stockholm. They arrived Sunday morning, but as they could not conscienciously travel on that day the train was held over till Monday. The speaker and his brother, however, went by another route, leaving London, about five days after the other company by way of York and Newcastle. They left the latter place on Friday in a small steamer called theProspero The party numbered sixteen. They arrived at Christisniaon the Monday morning, following, spent a day and a half there and then left by train for Stockholm, arriving Wednesday morning. The Convention was formally opened at 10 a.m. on August 15th. It met at the Blasie-holm's Church in Stockholm —a building resembling Mr. Spurgeon's tabernacle in London. It held about two thousand. The number of those provided with credentials was 303, but many others attended, so that there were in all from 37ft to 100; the total number of delegates and friends was between 700 and HOO. The exercises were opened by an introductory sermon from the Key. Prof. Kudinof Upsala University. Itwasveryeloquentalthough not very well understood by the English speaking portion of the audience, however they afterwards received copies of a translation, The address of welcome was given by the late Great Governor of Stockholm.

If I undertake it, I shall hold you to the promise of a large patience, and a generous store of sympathy and solid help." Very truly yours, >>f il.c Hawaiian the Editor, appointad liy the lieve our OOOiaata, '/as. Bicknell, - - Editor. The New Secretary. The Hawaiian Hoard, about six weeks since, forwarded through the A. H. C. F. M. (who have a voice in the appointment) a call to the Key. Oliver P. Emerson of I'eacedale, K. 1., to take the office of Corresponding Secretary. Owing to the absence of the Boston officers at the annual meeting of the Hoard at Cleveland, some delay has occurred in their action upon the matter. Sufficient intelligence, however, has arrived to make it highly probable that Mr. Emerson will receive and will accept the appointment. To do so, he will have to resign a desirable pastorate, where lie has been for mail}' years, and is much beloved. Among not the least of hts qualifications for the work, is a not perfect, but quite idiomatic knowledge of Hawaiian, which will enable him to engage at once in active visitation among the churches. The following part of a letter to Dr. Hyde will aid in favorably introducing our expected helper: " 1 think I appreciate something of the importance of the work, and perhaps a portion of its difficulties, knowing what I do of the islands. And yet, for one who has a feeling of strong affection for the Hawaiian people, for one who would gladly serve them, I am sure its opportunity could hardly be matched. I will say that the work has for me a certain attractiveness, and that if I were to enter it, 1 should want to pay the price of its success. At this distance, and in my present inexperience, I could not exactly block out ni)- plan. In doing this I should wish to be assisted by your kind counsels and by the necessities of the case. Such visitation as you suggest I apprehend to be an all important part of the work. The Secretary would have to know his field, bring his personality into it, and be felt in it from end to end. ••As to in}' theological views, I am aware of none tiiat should present me from being in hearty sympathy with all evangelical Christians, and with the great missionary work of to-day. I have not adopted the so-called Andover hypothesis. I have a great fear that life in the body gives final fixedness to spiritual tendencies, and decides destiny {i Cor. 5:10). Life makes its solemn appeal to me as a final opportunity (John 9:4). My sympathy is with a theology that is Christo-centric —that takes him as the key of the Hible, and as the great fact of life. Through the Biblical and historical Christ, we get at the essential Christ, and the Holy Spirit is his forerunner even to the heathen. T believe that we 91 THE FRIEND. Oliver P. Emerson, Micronesia. Treasurer's Statement. The Treasurer of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association would like to make the following statement in regard to the finances of the Association: The receipts from the Hawaiian churches throughout the Islands have fallen oil" very much during the past few years. A tew special donations have been made for special work, but the receipts for the general work of the Hawaiian Hoard have been small. The amount of funds now in the treasury available for the uses of the Association is but $770.20. The following accounts stand in debt: 8 82 SB Home Mission Chinese Work Micronesian Mission N. P.

And the credit accounts would foot $.'1,1H1.05. Deduct from the credit accounts the amount of cash on hand $770.20 and the balance $2,710.85 corresponds to the amount of the accounts in debt. If, therefore, collections and donations to the amount of $2710.86 were added to our treasury the debit accounts would be all wiped out and there would be just enough to settle all the credit accounts, should it be necessary; but nothing of a surplus would remain in the General Fund of the Hoard. What we need is the amount above stated to make good all the credit balances, and besides an amount gradually accumulating in the General and Foreign Mission Funds for the uses of the Association and to defray the expenses of the Foreign Missions. The sum of $5,000 is needed to carry on efficiently the work of the Board throughout the Islands. It is hoped that the Association will soon be able to secure the services of a new Secretary to supply the place so ably filled by the late Re*. A. O. Forbes, and that his efi'orts among the churches throughout the Islands may stimulate the members and friends to give according to their means to the cause, which includes a great variety of Christian work done on the Islands. Wm. W. Hall, Treasurer Hawaiian Hoard, The American Board at its annual meeting reports the following gains over last year's reports: 70 additional centers of evangelical effort, 1 ordained missionary, 90 young women connected with Woman's Board, !l native pastors, 55 preachers, 11 churches, 4,'.iSrt church members, 1,000 young men and women in high schools and colleges (now 7,000 in all), 34,000 in common schools lvi all), $121,274 native contributions (in all).

(Contenued from page By.) Among the delegates fourteen different languages were spoken. The speeches lost their force somewhat in translation. The discussion was so rapid it made a kind of modern Babel. Translations were made into English, French, German and Swedish. The next thing after opening was the report of the World's Central Committee, whose headquarters are at Geneva. It was a very favorable report. It stated that there were throughout the world 3,801 Associations, 1,468 in the United States, 72 in Canada, 021 in Great Britain, G73 in Germany, 505 in Holland, .'lO3 in Switzerland, 93 m France, 00 in Norway and Sweden, 17 in Denmark, 47 in Asia, 12 in Africa, 25 in Oceanica, and the rest are scattered throughout Kussia, Italy, Spain and other parts of the world. The work had made the greatest progress in the United States. The Associations there numbered 950 in 188 I, and in INSM the number, including Canada, is 1240; the number in Canada being 72. The property of the Associations in the United States had increased in the four years from $4,0(JO,000 to $7,000,000. The work in Germany, although increased since ISS4, and numbering 673 Associations, only supports nine secretaries, who give their full time to the work. The Associations on the Continent are very different from those of England and the United States. They are very like Societies of Christian Endeavor, generally composed of the members of one church, whose pastor heads the Association. After listening to the Report of the Central Committee the meeting adjourned and the members received tickets for lunch provided by the ladies of Stockholm and for dinner each day at one of the best hotels in Stockholm. The association's work is so limited in Stockholm that great credit must he given to those who tendered this hospitality, because it fell upon so many not connected with them. King Oscar 11. contributed liberally towards the expenses of the Conference. During the meeting a telegram was received from him at Berlin regretting his inability to attend and invoking the blessing of the Holy Spirit upon the Conference. At the Association's rooms in Stockholm each delegate was presented with a badge bearing his national color—i. e. the principal nationalities, the Hawaiian delegatesreceived thecolors of the United States. A room was also set apart for each nationality, equipped with newspapers, writing materials, etc. The meetings were called to order on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 9 o'clock. They were opened by one of the Ministers of Stockholm, followed by singing, and about twelve or fifteen prayers occupying as many minutes. The delegates of each nation sat together as the roll was called, they would rise in their places. The week was spent mostly in listening to papers ably prepared upon different phases of the work for young men, followed by discussion. Those who are trying to can"}' on the work on the Continent encounter a gootl deal of difficulty, as the state churches feel that they aie in opposition. There is no union between the two, but the work has increased and is increasing. and wherever conferences have met, it has done a good deal towards dispeling this feeling. The work has increased'in Paris four-fold since 1884. The Stockholm Delegates had great hopes of the good accomplished through holding the conference in that city. Agencies for the physical development of young men were considered for the first time and awakened great interest. The importance of this department was well brought out by a paper prepared by Mr. Luther Gulick, Gymnasium Instructor at the '-Training School for Christian Workers" in Springfield, Mass., and the discussion it provoked. Mr. Wishard's work among the Colleges in United States excited intense interest. He was authorized to visit the non-christian lands to organize Y. M. C. A. work in their colleges and universities. He purposed going through China and India and around the world. On Friday afternoon the members were invited by the citizens of Stockholm to an excursion. Three good sized steamers were provided and some 700 guests attended. He (Mr. Cooke) and party took passage in the Victoria, and the cruise around the beautiful waters of Stockholm was much enjoyed, especially as they were accompanied by the glee club of the Upsala University. On the return of the steamer they called at Skuri and were there entertained at tea by Capt. and Mrs. Ahlberg. At this place Mr. Geo. Williams gave an earnest talk, and was met personally by the speaker who had left at this gentleman's office in London a scroll, of which he was the bearer, from the Chinese Y. M. C. A. in this city, acknowledging his kind assistance (a donation of $100) toward the erection of- their building. On their return to Stockholm the excursion party were greeted with fireworks and illuminations. On Sunday the conference had no regular meeting in the morning, but in the afternoon there was a Bible class, attended by about three hundred. Mr. Kennedy, the London Secretary, delivered an address. During their stay the delegates received an invitation from the Crown Prince of Norway & Sweden to an entertainment at the Queen's Palace. It was not the speaker's privilege to attend, as he had to leave before the close of the conference. The conference was a decided success. One point of note was the temperance cause. German}' begged to be excused bringing that in, as it would break up the work in Germany; where beer was a thing so common. One gentleman spoke of this very earnestly to this end, although a member of a temperance society himself—the only one in Germany of which he knew. The feeling among the English and Americans was that this was an important branch of their work, and that all the associations should take their stand upon it. He was more than ever impressed with the magnitude of the Association's Mission. The next Conference is to be held in Amsterdam, four years hence. Mr. A. F. Cooke followed with a brief report of the California State Convention, which they attended in Fresno, and some personal impressions gathered during the trip. The remainder of the evening was spent in social intercourse, enlivened with plenty of ice cream and cake. Sunday Evening Topics. The Gospel Praise Service, which is held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, every Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock, will have the following topics for the month: Nov. 4—Credible Witnesses. 2 Pet. 1:10-18, 1 John, 1:1-3. Nov. 12—Joyous Dedication. Ezra 0:15-22, Acts 8:36-39. Nov. If—Fighting and Winning the Prize- 1 Tim. 6:12-10, 2 Tim. 4:7, 8. Nov. 25—Add to your Spiritual Possessions. 2 Pet. 1:5-8. — The fundamental principle in all good teaching is that the specific precedes the generic. General principles and truths are deduced from specific illustrations. But in our common methods of education we reverse this process, stuff our children's memories with laws that they cannot understand, and then expect them to proceed to the illustration and events from which those laws have been deduced. We ought to reverse the pn cess. We are beginning to put lai guige first and grammar afterward, as the vernacular is always taught in the home. This is the natural method; so we ought to teach, in arithmetic, problems first, rules afterward; in science experiments first, generalizations afterward; in geography, physical facts first, political divisions afterward; in history, biography first, history afterward. To speak as we think, to do as we pretend and profess, and to make good what we promise. As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.— Thorcau. �THE FRIEND. How Was Sodom Destroyed ? It is useless to attempt to reconcile the Old Testament narrative with that phase of modern thought which denies Clod the power to use the forces of nature which are in so many ways obedient to man's will, or which denies that in fact he ever exercises that power. The two philosophies of history are simply irreconcilable. It does not help the matter to say that the "Id Testament miracles can be explained by reference to known natural laws. It may he lli.u an earthquake demolished the walls of Jericho, as a much more terrible earthquake demolished the greater part of Lisbon. It is certain thai a great wind drove back the Red Sea and made it passable for Israel, and that a volcanic eruption destroyed the cities of the plain. But in these and kindred cases the miracle consists in the tact that the event occurred at a specific time, .it a specific command, and accomplished the predicted and purposed en#, demonstrating the presence 'J iU-\ power of the I.aw-giver. —LvMAM Auboi i. Dr. Abbott is profound and discrimi- nating as an expositor of the Bible, and has a searching insight into its spiritual meanings. He is, perhaps, hardly as great in his physical explanations. In the above extract, he seems justified as to what he says about the Red Sea, by Exodus, 14:21. But it does not seem to us '-certain that a volcanic eruption destroyed the cities of the plain," adhering as we do to a belief in the substantial accuracy of the description of the attendant phenomena in Genesis, 19:24 28. There are several objections to this common hypothesis which Dr. Abbott has adopted. One is that the account makes the destruction instantaneously complete. Absolutely no time was allowed for the escape of any individual, after the first appearance of the destructive element, which is described as "fire and brimstone rained from the Lord out of heaven." The most sudden explosive eruption is attended by violent premonitory throes, always giving time for some persons to escape. The column of ashes, stones and other ejecta projected into the air takes time in falling, and those living in the outskirts of the devastated district have more or less time to escape before the falling matter overwhelms them. The destruction of the cities of the plain was sudden as if by lightning. Again the destruction is not described as an explosion upwards as in a volcano, but as raining down. It is true that after a volcanic explosion, there is a tremendous down pour, but it is not a fiery one. The ashes and cinders fall cooled by their immense expansion in the upper air. So far from fire being seen, the darkness under the ash-fall is intense. In Batavia in 1883, one hundred miles from Krakatao, it was impenetrably dark for many hours, and the ashes fell so cold as to chill the air. Near Krakatao the falling matter was mingled with water. It seems a fatal objection to the volcanic hypothesis, that there is no existing trace of such an eruption in that region. An explosive fiery shower that would utterly destroy five cities at once must have built up quite a cinder-cone like Punch-Bowl or Diamond Head, and it ought to be standing there now, and much fresher than our little craters, because probably more recent. Then to what natural agent was the event due ? We aie inclined to think that the Lord may have employed some natural agent in his miraculous work. Lightning is sufficiently sudden. It can hardly be imagined as powerful enough. One of the largest flashes would keep an Edison lamp going but a very short time. It might indeed serve to kindle the combustible bitumen below the cities; but it does not answer to the description of a " rain of fire" from heaven —a copious pouring down of fire over a considerable space. And then where is the •• brimstone" in lightning ? What seems to be indicated is some fiery element coming instantaneously and without warning from the skies, and in a copious shower. Now there is such an agent well known, which is quite capable of producing such a destruction as that described in Genesis, with all its attendant phenomena. It is the fiery shower of a large and finely-shattered meteorite. Large flaming meteorites have many times been seen traversing the earth's atmosphere, the diameter of whose flame was not less than one or two thousand feet. Such meteors have often been seen to burst like a bomb into thousands of flaming fragments. Now suppose such a meteorite, say one hundred feet in diameter, to have plunged into the earth's atmosphere near Sodom at a velocity of forty miles in a second, and by the friction of the air to have burst into a great conflagration, and then when immediately over the city, to have exploded into innumerable blazing pieces; we then have substantially the phenomenon described. Or we may suppose it to have been a small compact cloud of minute meteorites, in other words, a comet, which struck the earth at that point. An objection to this comet hypothesis would be that no comet has ever been seen of such small dimensions. Comets are getting to be somewhat understood, and such a comet as those we know of, colliding with our atmosphere, would probably produce a very dense shower of small shooting stars all over the globe at once. Still, there may be very small comets or congeries of meteorites only a few miles in diameter, related to the known comets as asteroids are to planets. Such a small dense comet, or such a large meteor exploding in striking a great city, might completely destroy it without a second's warning. In the case of the cities of the plain, the ground in the vicinity was honeycombed with slimepits (Gen. 14:10). In other words, it was a petroleum and asphalt country. The "rain of fire" whatever it was, ignited this combustible material, which consumed whatever was left, and probably produced a depression in the ground, which may have been filled by the waters ofthe Dead Sea. The prevailing belief of Bible scholars now is that the site of the cities was at the north end of the Dead Sea. In that case the mud deposits of the Jordan would long since have covered the last traces of the event. Sulphur is a constituent element in many meteorites. The stench of sulphuretted hydrogen is very commonly noticed in newly fallen meteorites which have penetrated the ground. The combustion of the petroleum seems to have been what Abraham witnessed (v. 28). "He beheld, and 10, the smoke of the land went up as the smoke of a furnace." It will be said thai the destruction of cities by volcanic showers has repeatedly occurred, as Herculaneum and Pompeii; whereas, any considerable disaster from the fall of meteorites is unknown. Still, we think that the possibility of such disaster is evident, and that a volcanic eruption wholly fails to meet the conditions of the narrative. One thinks, as Lot was lingering and the angels laid hold of his hand and hurried him off, how they plainly saw that meteor or comet, then perhaps half as far away as the moon, but shooting with unerring aim to its doomed mark. Nay, even then God may have sent an angel's hand to hinder it a little, or to give Lot a little more time to escape. Or the same hand may have directed very slightly its course, so as to spare the little outlying Zoar, in compliance with Lot's anxious plea. In considering God's miracles as using the forces of nature, why are we not to think of the employment of physically mighty and highly-endowed angels as operating upon and guiding great physical agents at God's direction ? This idea seems to be quite in accord with the story of Lot's escape from Sodom. Rev. L. H. Gulick writes to Dr. Hyde: "The thought frequently comes to me that I could find no more desirable home for coming years than on my native islands. My work here is all that one could ask for, and is constantly growing upon me, but my heart often travels Hawaii-ward. Stranger things have happened than that I should some day appear among you! "Work in China has nothing very startling to report. Railroads and telegraphs are growing in length, and are silently doing a great work. In a week or two I shall set out on travels north and south," which will give me increased knowledge of affairs. I am soon to be relieved of pastoral responsibilities for our Union Church which I have carried now for nearly two * years." Lazarus came out with his grave clothes on, because he was to use them again. Christ left his behind him in the sepulchre, because he rose to die no more. Matthew Henry. — �THE FRIEND. T ITIHEO. H.

It has indeed seemed very doubtful whether in the present attitude of the parties to this question, any discussion on our part could be serviceable. On the one side are arrayed the Chinamen themselves, deeply sensitive to whatever tends to disparage them, or to treat them unequally. Many of them are highly intelligent, some of high character, and good business standing, and many of long residence in the country. They have true and warm friends among the whites, especially those devoted individuals who are laboring to impart to them the knowledge of the Lord our Saviour, and who naturally and worthily sympathize with them in their claims and aspirations. On the other side are the great body of white people of all classes, who partake strongly of the Anti-Chinese feeling which is so intense and imperative on both sides of the Pacific, wherever Chinese immigration has brought Chinese into competition with white labor, especially in California and in Australia. In the view of earnest Christian and philanthropic men, looking from a distance at the question, the Anti-Chinese feeling in California has been regarded as unhumane and has been summarily denounced as wholly unchristian, causeless and inhuman. It is undoubtedly true that bad elements have taken an active part in this as in all other controversies, and that much that is unchristian and inhuman has been done and said therein. Hut to the best of our knowledge, it is far from being the opinion of the great body of wise and good men in California that there are not good and weighty reasons for taking strong measures against the farther immigration of Chinese laborers into that country. Their chief reason is the impossibility of white laborers Competing with the frugal and patient Chinese coolies, and the inevitable impoverishment and degradation of the former. Another reason of great force is the improbability trf the Chinese becoming assimilated and amalgamated with the Americans, as do other immigrants. The question has different aspects, and more complicated ones, in Hawaii nei. Here the Chinese already constitute nearly two-fifths of the male population of the Kingdom. The others, men and women, are divided among not only different nationalities, but diverse races, more than one-half being native Hawaiians. Future assimilation into a homogeneous people seems very difficult. Some would argue that the difficulty should not be increased by so large an element of the intractable Mongolian. There is no doubt, also, that both the native people and the white immigrants do severely feel the competition of Chinese labor in this country. From untold ages of severe and crowded competition, the Chinaman inherits an ability to make the most of everything, and to live on the least, so that he thrives where better men starve. Chinamen have already absorbed many of the common occupations of the natives, such as fishing, taro-planting, the poi trade, &c. They absorb a large part of the retail trade. They carry on a great proportion of those mechanical industries by which a most valuable and important class of whites and the more intelligent natives are maintained. Let the present number of Chinese be doubled, or trebled, which may easily happen in a few years, and where would be room for any white men in these islands, except employers and directors oflabor? And what would be left for the natives? We do not question that the 20,000 Chinese are contributing materially to the financial prosperity of the country. They have brought into cultivation great tracts of swamp land, for which they pay heavy rental. They supply an indispensable portion of the labor on the sugar plantations. While they remit much money home, a considerable part of the fruits of their toil goes into general circulation. They are a people of so much character, ability, and productiveness, that they must needs be treated with consideration, even did not ordinary justice, humanity and Christian fraternity require it of us. There seems to be a general agreement that the farther immigration of Chinamen should cease, and that their numbers should not be permitted to increase. Probably those already here do not consider this a special hardship to themselves. They and their friends do, however, make a strenuous opposition to measures in any way discriminating between those now living hereand other residents. There seems to be a very strong determination to make some such discriminations. The new Constitution so discriminates in denying to all Asiatics the right of suffrage here. At the late session of the Legislature, an effort was made to secure the preliminary action for a change of the Constitution two years hence, so as to permit of laws limiting Chinese to certain occupations, and securing special registeration of Chinese laborers. This was defeated by means of bribes to native members, although a few of the best white members voted against it. The perplexities of the subject must lessen any regret that action was deferred. The chief ground upon which the advocates of such Constitutional discrimination justify it, is that by reason of their utter strangeness of tongue and literature, added to their great and tenaciously fixed peculiarities of custom and habit, the Chinese constitute a separate community in the kingdom, whom it is impracticable,to reach and govern effi- �78 THE FRIEND.

Hut how shall these laborers be returned to their own country and not be absorbed into the population ? And how shall the great army of Chinese tramps be controlled ? Not without special registration, it is answered.^ We cannot profess to have arrived at any fixed conclusion upon these questions of policy. We have here only touched upon some salient points. We would deprecate hasty action. We would urge the closest regard to justice and to humane fraternity, and meantime, we would pray for wise, just and courageous men to make and to administer our laws, not forgetting to thank God that we have tome such. Notes of a Tour Around Hawaii. Leaving Honolulu on the ll'. G. Hall at the seasonable hour of 10 a. m., the traveler finds himself early the next morning oft the coast oi Hawaii, and anchored oft' Kailua, the favorite place of residence for Kamehameha when the American Missionaries first landed. Why should the Inter-Island S. S. Company give such a common-place individual name to their new steamer, when the Hawaiians with quicker a;sthetic instinct will insist upon calling it the Maintain? In size and convenience it is a model vessel for our inter-island voyaging; but as new wants call for new comforts, the next new vessel will doubtless make us wonder why we could ever have been so well satisfied with such defective arrangements as the stern-lights of future experiences will show our present methods and achievements to be, as we leave them behind in the wake of the world's progress. Hut what is to be done with such places as Lahaina, that in the brief period covered by the history of these islands succeeded to Kailua in metropolitan rank, to be speedily distanced by Honolulu as the great commercial center? Is Honolulu destined to be left outside of the changing currents of competing traffic, when British America and the great Colonial Britain shall be connected by a fleet of ocean steamers, stopping at its convenient quays for coal and water? Kailua is again the favorite residence of Hawaiian royalty; but if stories told, yet not printed, are to be credited, the new buildings give shelter and opportunity for such dissipation and debauchery, as would have shocked into recoil and remonstrance even savage ideas of decency and dignity. /The Kona district is not adapted to and tillable lands. If preference should be given to Hawaiian! as intending settlers, who of them will take up such lands and build up homes for themselves ? The lands originally allotted to the Hawaiian occupants have generally passed into the control of the more industrious and enterprising Anglo-Saxon race. Would it be worth while for any one now to try and persuade the Hawaiian young men, loafing and lounging in all manner of disreputable places and pursuits, to avail themselves of this fresh opportunity to secure a home? It is such homes, abodes of peace and comfort for the middle class, neither poor nor rich, that constitute the sinews of a nation. Too much high breeding makes the race-horse, thinskinned, and too nervous for the wear and tear of life. Too great accessions of ignorant field-hands are no more desirable additions to the population of a country than would be flabbiness and obesity to the average man. Just now, the talk is about a possible revival ofthe coffee industry. The coffee berry, like the grape, gets an indefinable flavor from the soil on which it grows; and good Kona coffee has as peculiar and as grateful a flavor as Mocha, or Java. Hut how to manage the blight? We learned nothing about that from the expert employed by the Government. That good coffee commands twenty five cents a pound is the stimulus that is waking up even somnolent Hawaiians to set out trees and start a coffee plantation. That this can be done in a small way is one of the facts that make this a promising undertaking. The cheap labor necessary to pick the berries might he easily provided if the .Secretary of the Hoard of Education would not persist in running the schools by the calendar year, but arrange the vacations in the coffee districts so that the children could have the opportunity to earn a little money, and learn the value of a dollar. In Kau the cattle look fat and sleek. In fact, the evenly-distributed rains of this season have made fat cattle so plenty that the question with ranchmen is where to find a market for their stock. From Kau they are now driven to Hilo, where a new meat market has just been opened specially to dispose of them. But our island markets, for any article of production, are so limited, that an old settler found to his cost when he undertook to raise beans; one bushel beyond a limited amount would flood the Honolulu market. From Kawaihae seventyfive head of cattle were shipped to Tahiti on a venture, for even low prices could not force a sale. But what a transformation a few years have brought on the windward side of Hawaii! From the water's edge up to the edge of the forest one belt of green that once lined these shores, the homes of a people, that never puzzled their brains over questions of tariff or reciprocity, but kept pounding their kapa mallets from day break till set of sun, where now we hear only at distant intervals the shrill whistle of the sugar mill? There is a marvelous contrast in the aspect of the country. There is a sad contrast in the condition of the people. > Hut even in the same country in studying the different nations of the world we see as marked contrasts. Compare, for instance, the Highland and Lowland Scotch, and while the Southron has delved and spun, the Highland crofters are now being turned out of their huts that wealth and leisure may have the pleasure of hunting deer in the Highland glens. It is the old story of Capital and Labor, of Chronos devouring its own children, Labor producing Wealth, and Wealth devouring Labor. drift of the times is towards more complete organization of industry. Sugar plantations have now been concentrated and consolidated, so that it would seem the minimum of expenditure per pound of product has been reached. Processes, too, have been simplified and unified, till it would seem the maximum of result for the given cost has also been reached. Wonderful boldness and skill have been shown in the use of the means employed, as one looks at the flumes carried along the sides of the precipitous ravines; over and above and around acres and acres of cane fields. Hut what opportunity has the plantation "hand to develope his manhood, or who cares for the souls of these contract laborers, who are rated at so many dollars a month?/ The Hawaiian Evangelical Churches. In the experiment that has been tried in this country of giving the Polynesian race, while only one generation removed from Barbarism, a representative con stitutional government, and a democratic church policy, we ought not to be disappointed if there are apparent lamentable failures and defects. Hut we do not throw away our ideals because of some practical difficulties. Would a despotism have done any better for Hawaii, than the old constitution did? Would such a peaceful and accepted overturn of affairs have been possible in a community that had not been trained to regard principles of right and justice as of higher account than the caprices and whims of any man? Would a prelatical form of church government have maintained even the forms of religious life under the measureless strain of trial to which the Hawaiian Evangelical Churches have been subjected for the last twenty years? It is manhood �Volume 46, No. 10.] that Gospel truths were given us to call out and elevate, not adherents or devotees to be enumerated and emasculated. The Hawaiian Evangelical Churches have been allowed to go on for years without any efficient supervision; not, because such holding people up to their responsibilities was considered unnecessary; but rather from a vague idea that' all that was needed was to be had in the system of government and education that had been established. The system may be all well enough; but how about the changed circumstances that the revolving wheels of time bring about? When the Hawaiian Islands were six months' distant from the United States, and the whole commerce of the country was supplying the limited wants of a few whaling vessels, who could anticipate how quickly the time wouid come when they would be only one week's traveling away, and an army of 40,00(1 laborers in equal numbers with the whole native population would be occupying every point of vantage? It is the rich soil, not the treasures of the seas, that the foreigner now wants, who comes to the Hawaiian Islands. Under the old government policy there was no holding official! up to their responsibilities. But under a proper representative constitutional government, this can be done and is done. So what our Hawaiian Churches need is not a new form of church polity, but such thorough application of Gospel truth to individual hearts and lives, that Christian manhood will show itself and assert itself. We cannot cut ourselves off from our past, if we would. These Hawaiian Churches must be taken just where they are, and as they are; and a true, heavenly spiritual life developed from the elements of character possessed by the race and possible by it. A Hawaiian cannot be a Yankee, any more than he can be a Japanese or a Chinaman. Hut he can be a Christian, sincere, humble, loving, faithful, if not energetic, enterprising, shrewd at a bargain. There are hundreds of such devout, consecrated Christians in our churches whose influence ought to be greater than it is.

The Reports of the various Committees on the subjects assigned them are generally characterized by a lively Christian spirit, albeit on some points very conservative, as might be expected. Their dealings with the subjects of Temperance, of Social Purity, of the Sanctity of Marriage, of Observance of the Lord's Day, of Socialism, are on the whole quite fairly abreast of sound Christian sentiment generally expressed In respect to "Definite elsewhere. Teaching of the Truth," nothing could be much better than this, "We most earnestly press upon the Clergy the importance of taking, as the central thought oftheir teaching, our Lord Jesus Christ as the sacrifice of our sins, as the healer of our sinfulness, as the source of all our spiritual life, and the revelation to our consciences of the law and motive of all spiritual virtue. To Him and to His work all the teachings of the Old Testament converge, and from Him all teachings of the New Testament flow, m spirit, in force, and in form." We are thorough believers in "Christocentric" doctrine and preaching. It is especially gratifying to find in this Council evidences of a like genuine yearning after Christian Union to their brethren of non-Episcopal Churches, with that which appeared lately in a convention of Anglo-American Bishops. " " This expression of fraternal desire is and will be Cordially recognized and welcomed by other Christians generally. All true Christians musfpray that these yearning advances of Anglican Churches towards fellowship with their brethren, may grow and be fruitful of light and love, until all real and fancied barriers are overcome. It does not lessen our regard or sympathy with these good brethren that in their hereditary conservatism they are not yet able to reach over the barrier of the "Historic Episcopate.' to which in such manifestly conscientious fidelity, they still cling as the indispensable condition of church recognition. These things are matters of time and patience. We must all be content to work on for Christ, warring alike against "the world, the flesh, and the evil one," until every division of- the sacred arm)- has come into the clear light, and each owns the other's fellowship in Christ, caring naught for diversities of order or ritual. God speed the day! Letter from Prof. A. B. Lyons. In answer to our request for a stateof first impressions on return to Honolulu, Prof. Lyons has kindly furnished the following letter, addressed to an American friend : My Dear G Here I am at last at home again. Very unhome-like perhaps you would think it. for our house is as yet almost bare of furniture, and is in a chaotic and odoriferous condition, which tell of the recent presence of carpenter and painter. The prospect as 1 look out over the Punahou grounds is unfamiliar. There is scarcely one feature in it that I can recognize as belonging to the Punahou of old. Everything about the grounds is changed so Completely changed that I Can scarcely make myself believe that it was here that I spent six years of my student life. I look in vain for the distant view of the cocoanut palms of Waikiki, with the white surf line, and the deep indigo of the boundless Pacific beyond. A forest of trees—exotics, all of them—has completely shut off this view, without which it would have seemed to me that the place could not be Punahou. Hut in the stillness of these calm nights there peals out the magnificent sub-bass that I remember so well as the accompaniment of so much of the music of that old life, and I realize that the changes that seemed at first so radical are after all only superficial and trivial. The quaint old "courts," of which I have so often told you, are a thing of the past. Nothing remains of the old trees that once grew in them except one tamarind, ment : - which continues to shade the roof of the old corner building, in which it pleases me now to remember, that 1 was domiciled one year out of the six I spent here. Another tamarind tree, now of respectable size, standing about half-way down the old winding road, I left twentyfive years ago a mere sapling, where I had watched it grow from the sprouting of the seed planted by my own hand it is older now than I was then, and much more robustly and symmetrically developed. I wonder if there is any but myself who remembers the strange heraldic device that was displayed in connection with that little garden patch, or would to-day appreciate its significance. Yes, changed as is the place in so many of its external details, it is still haunted by a thousand memories that are as green as they were a quarter of a - century ago. When I go into the school-room, 1 find everything familiar. Not is the room practically unchanged, but in the seats I see identically the same faces that were so well known to me as those of my schoolmates. They answer now, it is true, to other names, but I feel sure that I know them as surely and as fully as of old. They belong indeed to another generation, but not one of them is fresher in heart to-day than I am. I had had some fears that I should find Punahou boys and girls changed degenerated, I was about to write, but that is too strong a word; but the type still exists, I am happy to say, in full vigor. None but animated faces and clear, honest purposeful eyes meet yours when you glance over the room. Here certainly lam at home, and cannot believe, indeed, that I am in presence, in one sense, of a generation of strangers. When We reached Honolulu, we were detained half a day in the offing, awaiting the decision of the Hoard of Health with regard to the advisability of putting the passengers in quarantine. To main' this was an irksome delay. To me, it seemed an extraordinary piece ofgood fortune, in that it gave me opportunity to feast my eyes on the scenery whose beauty had lingered all these years in memory. Some things possibly 1 may have seen that had formerly escaped observation owing to lack of scientific training, but what my eyes dwelt upon was that which an artist would have tried to place if possible on canvass, so that others might share the 'enjoyment he had found in it. It is useless to try to describe it to a stranger. It included a sky as full of tender light, and of as deep a sapphire tint as was ever seen in Italy, a distant view through a transparent atmosphere of the picturesque Waianae mountains, full of calm and latent strength, the blue Pacific, also, in repose, save where its otherwise imperceptible swell met the basses of the reef, breaking into snowy lines of foam, the extinct volcanic craters of Diamond Head and Punchbowl Hill �Volume 46, No. 10.] 81 THE FRIEND. nearly as bare as ever of vegetation, and I and speaking their language fluently nearer mountains and valleys that rise 1and well.

A. Kauhi and G. P. Kamauoha and others conspired to corruptly influence members in order to defeat the proposed amendment. 4, In pursuance thereof G. P. Kamauoha sought to persuade A. P. Kalaukoa and others through him to vote against the amendment. 5, That A. Kauhi, in pursuance of such conspiracy, received money from certain Chinese as a reward for those having voted to defeat the amendment,and gave fifty dollars each to A. P. Kalaukoa, G. P. Kamauoha, S. C. Luhiau and O. Nawahine. fi, That said A. P. Kalaukoa took the money so paid to him, for the purpose of exposing the conspiracy. One portion of the committee recommended the expulsion of Kauhi, Kamauoha, Luhiau and Nawahine, as all alike guilty, while a part thought that through the free confessions of the two latter, the censure of the House be their punishment. The report was lengthy and fully discussed before coming to a vote at a late hour, resulting in the expulsion of Kauhi, Kamauoha and Luhiau, and censure of the House, by the President, to Nawahine. The further recommendation of the committee that the Attorney-General institute such proceedings, as the facts shall warrant, against all parties engaged in such conspiracy, carried, and at 7:45 the House adjourned subject to the call of the President. 12th.—Executors of Estate of T.

Our Christian friends will be interested in the report from Kekela and Hapuku, of their work in the southern islands of the Marquesas group. After thirty-three years of p.'tient continuance among savage cannibals, Kekela is enabled to witness a brighter day of light, order, and education. We have already known how much the French authorities in their efforts to establish order, have valued the influence of our Hawaiian missionaries among the Marquesans. It is very gratifying to learn that the children of these missionaries are aiding the work of their parents. To Wm. W. Hall, Honolulu:-Best love to you and all your family. Your draft came safely to hand on the <>th are all in June. We, your missionaries, good health, except the wife of S. Kauwealoha, who was very feeble a while ago, but is now somewhat convalescent. On the sth of May, John Kekela who was our fifth child, was united in marriage to Emily, the daughter of Key. Z. Hapuku. Their ages are twenty-three and fourteen. My daughter and Hapuku's are the teachers in French of the Protestant girls, 80 and upward. A. Sarran, a Frenchman, is the teacher in French of the boys, 90 and more. Our youngest child, we have sent to Tahiti, where she lives in the school of Vienot, a l'rotestart, learning French and English. At the examination before the French governor of Tahiti, she received the highest prize from the governor as the best scholar. We hope to have her become the instructor of our Protestant girls. The Catholics also maintain schools; one in Fatuiva, taught by a priest; two in Hivaoa, under four nuns and one male teacher; two in Nuuhiwa, three nuns and one man, being the teachers. The French governor and the French iniitoi (?) incline towards the hulas and things of the dark times, and influence the people in that direction. The work of the Lord is not a failure. There are here some who love the Lord Jesus as their Savior. Please to give the .love of myself and wife to your family, and to all the Christian friends in Honolulu. I am your fellow-servant in the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. James Kekela. Puamau, June 11, 1888. 83 THE FRIEND. I and my family are very grateful for the prompt forwarding of our yearly stipend. The great work of our Lord Jesus Christ is growing; it has leaves; it is fruiting; it blossoms with beautiful flowers. [ state as follows : There are seventy pupils in the (iirl's Hoarding School in the French language. My daughter and the daughter of Rev. J. Kekela, are the teachers in French. They are both skilled (maalea) in that tongue. Two buildings are filled with the girls. The parents supply their food, clothing and fish. The Lord's work in this field continues. The members are steadfast. So it is with Hanaiapa, Hanamenu, Caaoa, and Cahautu. Myself and family are all well. We unite in much love to you and your /amily. From your truly loving friend, Z. Hapi'kil, Atuona, Hivaoa, June 14, IHBS. News of the Churches. The Island Association of Hawaii met at Waimea, September .*)-!». There was a full attendance of pastors and delegates. The Waimea people had made generous provisions for their expected guests. The special attraction at this time was the dedication of the monument to Key. Lorenzo Lyons, erected by the Sunday School Association in loving remembrance of one whose labors for them in the service of song had been so unwearied and so blessed. The reports from the Churches were unusually hopeful. The general testimony .was that while superstitious practices might occasionally come into notice, there had been no drifting away from the central truths of the Christian faith. The tricks and impostures of the kahuna, or "medicine man," were less influential, year by year in deluding the people. The general observance of the last Thursday in each month as a day of special prayer for lepers, and for deliverance from this invader of the home, shows that when one in thirty of the Hawaiian people are segregated, and another sixtieth may expect to be, the physical condition of the people is alarming, as evidently so as the danger of spiritual death. A large part of the time of the Association was given to the examination and ordination of two students of the North Pacific Mission Institute, called to the pastorate of the Churches in Waimea and Paauhau. The Union Church of Laupahoehoe and Hakalau failed to preient a satisfactory call and the candidate is to serve as stated supply till the next meeting of the association. A new pastor was installed at Waipio, and Hall. one was to be installed at Onomea. Mr. Wm. W. Dear friend:—Great love to you. Steps have been taken by the Hilo Yours of March 30 is received, also Church for the speedy settlement of a on June sth. Your draft came safely to pastor, and a subscription is in active and successful circulation for funds to % build a parsonage, for which an eligible lot has already been secured. It was voted to ask of the Hawaiian Board a gratuity for the the relief of the aged pastor at Kekaha, who has been suffering from sickness for several months. The Church building at Opihikao had come to be almost a ruin. The shingles had dropped off; the ceiling was falling down. Hut a deacon of the Church had mortgaged his property and came to Honolulu with the proceeds, to purchase the male; ial to repair it thoroughly. That is a Hawaiian way of doing things. Constant attention to needful repairs is foreign to their ideas and habits. They will let a building go to ruin; then with a spurt, rebuild and renew it. The Church at Kalapana is quite dilapidated, but the people out of their poverty have raised seventy-five dollars, which they hope soon to increase to one hundred dollars. Then they will put it in order. The Church at Waimea has been thoroughly renovated, painted and cushioned. A comfortable parsonage has been purchased. Though the personal solicitations of Miss E. VV. Lyons, this has been neatly and completely furnished, making a most comfortable and attractive home. The pastor at Kalapana has a sunrise prayer meeting at six o'clock, with an attendance of about thirty. There is a Sunday School, embracing nearly the whole congregation, numbering about one hundred and fifty. But the people are poor and for nearly five months he had nothing paid on his salary. He was supplied with fish and potatoes, and had a cow to milk and fifty chickens to supply him with eggs or meat. At last the sweet potato crop failed. So he went to his old home for a month, returning when the breadfruit began to ripen. He has preached so strongly 0:1 the evils of beer drinking, that sweet potato beer is no longer made in that district. He has been active, too, in suppressing the gambling, by which the Chinese storekeepers were getting into their clutches the little money or other possessions of the improvident Hawaiians. He holds on* to his work, living in the parsonage with only a bedstead, a washstand, a table, and two chairs for the furniture, cooking his meals in a saucepan over a fire of fagots between two stones. The Oahu Association meets in Kaumakapili Church, October 3. The Kauai Association meets at Koloa, October 10. Rev. IsaacGoodell isdoingagood work on Kauai. His musical talents are put to varied service for the special benefit of Hawaiians. He has occasional religious services also for the foreign community. The Hawaiian Board has appointed W. S. Lokai, a Colporteur for the sale of Bibles and other books, and he has begun his work at Waimea, Kauai, talking with the Hawaiians about their spiritual welfare as well as selling books. �[October, 1888 THE FRIEND. 84 THE T.

Among the causes that led him to backslide, and to go farther from Christ and duty, he gave prominence to what he called "No Harm,'' and he uttered a solemn warning to all persons to beware of these "No Harms." He was once a total abstainer, but he was induced to take a little domestic wine, being assured that it was some which his friends themselves had made out of their own grapes. There was no harm in taking a glass of that. The result was he soon became a confirmed drinker. He was invited to join in a game of cards. There was no money staked; it was simply an amusement. No harm in that. The result was, he became a skillful and constant gambler. He was invited to join ii a simple parlor dance to the music of a piano. There was no harm in that. But he soon became an attendant and danced at balls. Invited to the theater, he declined; but being assured the play was a perfect moral and proper one, and there was no harm in it, he yielded. It was not long before he became a frequenter of the theater, and preferred it to the prayer-meeting. Thus was he led down, down, lower, and yet lower, by these "No Harms," till all trace of Christian living was gone. Significantly he asked: "Who ever thought, in offering a cup of water to a friend, of assuring him there was no harm in it.— Watchman. Don't Swear. I know some good men, some of the best in the world, who will "confound" it, and even "dog-gone" it; and in New England even a deacon has been known, under a terrible strain to "condemn" it. But, as a rule, my boy, don't do it. Dod't swear. It is not an evidence of smartness or worldly wisdom. Any fool can swear, and a good many fools do it. Ah! if you could gather up all the useless, uncalled for, ineffective oaths, that have dropped along the pathway of my life, I know it would remove stumbling blocks from many inexperienced feet, and my heart would be lighter by a ton than it is to-day.

He was expressly forbidden to take any part in governmental affairs.When Constitutional Government began to be organized, Dr. G. P. Judd. Rev. Lorrin Andrews and Rev. William Richards withdrew from the mission in order to aid in that important work. At the death of the latter, Rev. R. Armstrong left the mission and took his place. For some twelve years, through these persons, missionary influence predominated in the government. Before that time, no missionary is known to have been in the habit of advising fluking and chiefs as to public affairs. It is impossible, however, that with their immense spiritual influence, and the great force of character of some among them, like Mr. Bingham, the political action of the government should not have felt their influence from time to time from an early date. For reasons which it is not necessary here to discuss, this political influence of the missionaries was always, very obnoxious to most of the foreigners then living here. It is generally admitted, however, that this period of missionary domination was one of efficient and honest administration of affairs. We think also that no one can honestly doubt that but for this missionary intervention no such thing as Constitutional Government could ever have existed in these islands under Hawaiian rulers. It was under God, the creation of the Missionaries. But for the tremendous spiritual and moral uplifting that followed their teachings, the Hawaiian chiefs and people would never have surrendered their old ways and fallen into line with civilized judicial, legislative and administrative institutions as they did with ready consent and zealous co-operation. This is a thing to be expected. It has always existed here in a very pronounced form. It is an old, chronic condition of society. It is a part of the established order of affairs in Honolulu and its surroundings. Everybody has been used to it for the last fifty years. In fact, society always arranges itself into two sides, pulling against each other. Xo doubt, although both sides cannot be equally in the right, this arrangement is to some extent useful, in preventing extreme and hasty action. That ••Missionaries" should be spoken against with so much frequency and energy as they are, may be taken as an evidence, that whatever their faults, they must be at least a very considerable force in the land. They must be a set of people of a good deal of influence, or there would not be so much effervescence as there often is in the animosity expressed towards them. Being such an influential force, it seems inevitable that their influence should be exercised, and appear in the various directions in which men generally act. They will be likely to be found exerting some force in political affairs, as well as in religious, educational, social, and commercial As said above, none of the old misalfairs. This seems natural and inevisionaries are now in active service. table.

Several foreign churches, notably the Central Union Church of Honolulu, are practically the offspring of the old missionary social and religious influence. At any rate all these people and churches have inherited the name, in vulgar parlance, of "missionaries." They are a class of reputable and generally religious people, whose views on morals and politics are substantially in accord with those of the old missionaries, and with those of socalled Evangelical Christians in America and England. They have shared more or less in the financial prosperity of the country. The members of these churches are, to a large extent, leaders in the foreign community, socially and financially, as well as in education and religion. This "Missionary" element is thus be a very large one in the community. Its character, its ability, its share in general affairs, its experience, must be felt necessarily to endow it with a very powerful influence in this country. This influence will, of course, be felt in politics as much as in anything else. In fact it tends to be stronger there than elsewhere from the fact that a large number of these people are identified with this country by birth and early education. They possess a peculiar patriotism in respect to their native land, which amounts to an instinct and an enthusiasm in all public affairs. Hawaii is very dear to them. They have ideals of what can he made of such a country and its people, which they would like to see realized. seen to Wise men will calmly recognize these facts and their causes, and will adapt their conduct to them. They will understand that the so-called missionaries necessarily have and will continue to hold considerable influence in public alfairs. Kvcn if they seriously differ with the "missionaries" upon moral and political questions, they will, like good politicians, try to ally themselves with them as much as they can, just as they always do in business affairs. When men froth out against missionaries it is not the wise men, not at least in their . wiser moments. �Home Missionary Sermon. Preached at CentralUnints< hurc h by Rev. I'. L. (lulick, June 10. 1886. Is. 00:2,, 21. I hy people shall be alt righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the hranch or my planting, the work of my hands, that I may beglorined. A little one shall hecome a thonsaii I and a small one a strong narton. I.the Lord, will hasten it in his lime. There has no doubt, been disappoint- ment arising from an unreasonable ex- pectation in some minds, that the gospel would do for the Hawaiian! in one generation what it has taken it over a thousand years to do for the Anglo-Saxons. Such expectations are not in accord, either with the teaching of history, or of common sense. "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness." "Thy people shall be all righteous, tht> Lord will hasten it in his time." Individuals and multitudes of them may be converted at the first preaching of the gospel, and started on tJie road towards Christian perfection. So a nation, however degraded, may be started on the road that leads to the highest Christian civilization, but the process must be expected to be slow. So all history, even of the most highly endowed races, in the most favorable circumstances, teaches. Thinking men.are coming to recognize more than before that the very constitution, capacities and traits of races, even more than of individuals, are developed, moulded and stamped by the environ- ment in which they live. Given, a race without the light of revelation, living on small tropical islands, without foreign intercourse, without any metals, and consequently without the possibility of good tools or advanced arts, and yet, with the means of subsistence obtainable, almost without labor, from theabundant natural products of land and sea, and with so mild a climate as to feel but little need of clothing or houses—let these have been the uniform conditions of existence for many hundreds and, perhaps, thousands of years—what will be the traits, constitution and capacities developed by such surroundings? Would not an intelligent student of our species predict with certainty, before he had even seen them, that a people so circumstanced would have little capacity, and less inclination, for hard and continuous labor; that they would find it difficult to acquire proficiency in the trades and arts, and especially difficult to compete in these, employments with races that had been trained in them for many centuries; that they would have little or no capacity for commerce or the management of huge and complicated affairs, that they would be, as a race. improvident, pleasure-loving and pas sionate? [September, THE FRIEND. 70 Are the Hawaiians, then, to be blamed because they do not easily become firstclass carpenters and blacksmiths, because they find it difficult to continue steadily at hard labor, and because they do not become successful merchants? Not- withstanding, we are glad to see that, according to the last census, a large percentage of the carpenters and a full half of the printers of the islands, are Hawaiians. What if you think that the Hawaiian acts too constantly on the command: "Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn thou not away?" Is he to be severely blamed because he is impulsive, warm-hearted and over-generous; because he is so child-like that he is unable to keep his land or even his house out of the hand of the more shrewd, grasping, land-hungry foreigner? Would not those of the stronger races who are so, not by their own individual virtue, but by heredity, through the discipline of favorable circumstances on unnumbered generations of their ancestors would not these do well, instead of censuring so continually Hawaiian weakness, to remember rather what our common Maker says in reference to greed, self-seeking and avarice, which is idolatry? Would we not all do well to consider less the mote in our brother's eye and more the duties of the strong to the weak' "We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves." What shall we think of those who deliberately lead the natives into extravagance, drinking and debauchery, while at the same time sneering at their ignorance and weakness? Nothing could be more unreasonable than to expect a Pacific islander to leap at a bound to the position which the European has only attained through slow and hard climbing for sixteen centuries. A nation may be born in a day, and a nation may die in a day; but a savage people cannot grow up into the perfection of Christian civilization except through generations of Christian culture. Let us beware of having any part in the heartless and faithless conduct of those who make a parade of the imperfections of Hawaiian Christians, as though the}' would have the world believe that the apostolic labors of the devoted men and women who lifted them out of tlfe most degraded heathenism, had been labor spent in vain. Someone has said that the weaknesses of acknowledged saints are a positive in tpiration when we are tempted to be disheartened by our own failures. So when we remember the grave di lects ol character and the startling sins; the — cowardice, lying, polygamy, adultery and even minder of such old time saints as David, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; when we consider the terrible abuses which existed in the Corinthian and other apostolic churches; when we call to mind the outrageous slavery and the debasing intemperance which existed in the churches of our fathers, and above all, when we consider our own multiform weaknesses and sins, in spite of all our unprecedented advantages, we have no 1888 right to be discouraged on account of the weakness and immaturity of Hawaiian Christians. I have dwelt at some length on this thought because I am convinced that many who wish well to the natives, and who ought to be laboring heartily for their spiritual welfare, are deterred from doing so by unreasonable expectations about them and, consequently, unreasonable disappointment and discouragement at their present attainments. When the American churches ceased sending missionaries to this field, it was hoped that the children of the missionaries together with the other foreign Christians would, by degrees, and so far as it was possible, take the place of the fathers in leading and pressing forward the work. We think that the directors of the American Board, from lack of intimate personal acquaintance, misjudged the advancement, self-directing apd self developing power of the Hawaiian churches in 1863, and that the work was too immature to have been thrown upon those who remained here under the changed relations. We probably agree that it was a mistake for the Board to have so suddenly laid down their half-finished work among a people who were still groping in the twilight and beset by such an incoming flood of temptation. In 1863 Dr. Anderson said to the assembled fathers "It cost our churches more than a million dollars to evangelize this nation, and those churches will have no idea of seeing these evangelical institutions subverted, whatever be the cost of preventing such a disaster." He also said, "The race has been Christianized, but needs a large amount of foreign labor before its Christian institutions can stand without foreign as- sistance." It was twenty-five years ago this month that these statements were made at the formation of the Hawaiian I-Cvangelical Association. Since then most of the fathers have died at their posts, but in that time only one man, I believe, has been sent out to fill the gap! We are glad to be informed that four or fivenew men are now promised. They can not come too soon and will find abundant work on every band. In the mean time we do well to ask ourselves whether we have been, and are, fully meeting all reasonable expectations of us id this matter, Have we shown, and ,ue we showing, the samespirit of devotion and Whole-hearted consecration to the Lord's work that the fathers did? Do We feel and show as much aloha for Hawaiians, and anxiety for the progress of the churches? 1 do not mean to intimate that all, or ;i majority, should become ministers or missionaries. Christian men and women are needed in every department of life, and we must listen to God's call individually; but why should we not all have the self-denying devotion to the Lord's ' �Volume 46, No. 9.] work of the truest missionary? Because the Lord has catled me to be a mereliant Of a planter, docs he, therefore, expect me to be less self-sacrificing for the advancement of his kingdom than if hehad called me to be a missionary in China? Such self-excusing is the curse of the church and the greatest cause of the delay of the salvation of the world. What if God has sent China and Japan and the islands of the sea to our door? What if we have been instrumental in bringing these darkened souls here to toil for the advancement of our worldly prosperity; can we wash our hands of their blood if we fail to do all in our power to give them the bread of spiritual life for the lack of which they are perishing in our very midst? The Hawaiians are struggling in a death grapple with terrible bodily diseases which have been brought to them from foreign lands, and with which their previous training (and habits have not fitted them to contend. The result to the race is still uncertain. But in the meantime an ever increasing population is coming in upon us from America, Europe, the Portuguese islands, Japan and China. In the years that I have been away from my native land, that is since 1860, the foreign population, the industries, and the wealth of the islands have increased enormously. In 1860 the, total foreign population was less than 3,000. In 1884 it was more than 36,000/ The increase of wealth in the hands o? Christ an men and women, with its accompanying power for good, has been correspondingly great. Probably the wealth of the Christian communities is thirty times what it then was. I suppose there are single Christian men who to-day have greater wealth than all the foreign Christians in these islands had forty years ago. What portion of this wealth is being used for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ? Let every one, says the apostle, -'give according to that he hath." Before long a telegraphic cable will probably be laid connecting our islands with each other, and all with America and Australia; and undoubtedly, in the near future, a ship canal or ship railroad will be in use either at Panama, Nicaragua or Tehuantepec. When that timecomes, the commerce of Europe and the Atlantic sea-board of America, with China and Japan, will pass by our very doors. Most of the ships will probably touch at om: of our ports. With our unrivaled climate and productive soil, our population and wealth may be expected to increase more rapidly than at any previous time. Note is our opportunity to get our Christian institutions firmly rooted. God is to-day calling on all Christians in Hawaii nei to consecrate their silver and their gold, their bank stock and plantation stock, their cattle and horses, their merchandise, houses and lands, 71 THE FRIEND. their children and themselves to the work of the Master. To do this is the great est privilege of our lives. When we do it heartily, we will discover for the first time what a blessing property, power and opportunity can become. Are there not several Christian men in our Hawaiian communities, who could individually support three or four missionaries: one in Hawaii, one in Japan, one in China and one in Micronesia, and still have enough and to spare for himself and family? Why not do it? Do you know of any better investment? Is there any which would be more pleasing to the Master, more profitable to the donor, or a greater blessing to the world? A student, about to be admitted to the New York bar. has pledged himself to support ;i friend, as soon as he enters the foreign field. Will not some of my hearers undertake the support of at least one missionary each' Eighty-live persons, contributing only live- cents a day, can pay the salary of a missionary and his wife. The fields are already white to the harvest: the Lord is seeking for laborers. "Is this a timeto receive money and to receive garments, and olive yards, and sheep, and oxen, and men-servants, and maid-servants?" Let us rather become servants, for our Master came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Letter From China. Df.ak Mr. Bishop: -It scarcely seems if it were already much more than a year since we bade farewell to the many friends who had been so kind to us in Honolulu, and who loaded us down even to the very hour of sailing with gifts for our new chapel. Thanks largely to their generosity, the chapel is done and paid for. and its legitimate effect has been to show that the Chinese can do some things for themselves, which they once thought impossible. We have outgrown the stage in which it seems to our Christians that certain things absolutely cannot be accomplished, and have come to a time when they gently hint that if the Shepherds will be patient witli them—say to the extent of a few hundred years, which in China do not count for much, they think perhaps a beginning can be made. Already since this chapel was completed at no expense to the Board, two others have been provided, and a third is planned for this year, but all of these later ones are comparatively inexpensive. We have been delighted to hear that the long projected union of churches in Honolulu has been happily accomplished. We are delighted to know, not only that the Lord has led you to the very man who ofall the numerous inhabitants of this planet seems best able to be your pilot, but haa» also led that man to you. At times, it almost seems like a 'providence!' As for the work here in China, when we came up the long coast of China a year as ago, whatever else we failed to learn, we a new and fadeless impression of the magnitude of this expansive Empire, which stretches from the tropics to the Amoor river. The missionary work, in this vast area, is in all stages of advancement, and in great territories equal in magnitude to ordinary kingdoms, it is not as yet begun. It is a misleading comparison which is often made between the missionary work in China and the same work in Japan. In the latter country, there has been a singular preparation for the gospel, the pressure for the means of existence is by no means so sharp as in China, with its far denser population, and the class reached thus far in Japan has not been the lowest, but the middle stratum of society. All this is quite ditlerent in China, where the progress has been made one step at a time. How great that progress really is, we can only appreciate by recollecting the time but a few years ago, when the number of missionaries was but half of those now in the field. Each year witnesses a great increase, the recruits for the China Inland Mission alone, being annually about 100 persons. The work of that great society is so diffused, that it is difficult to get an idea of it as a whole, but it cannot fail to have a farreaching influence for good, almost all over China. In our little corner of the wide field, we have had on the whole a good year, though with much less progress than we ought to have seen. We have many things to encourage us, such as the occasional opening of new places, and the resurrection from the dead, of some old centers which seemed past hope. I visited one such last week, in which we once had a little company, but they scattered by a case of persecution for which nothing could be done. A former helper became alienated and was transformed into a hinderer. Eor years we never even visited the place, as they did not wish to see us. One woman, who was married into the village from this region (the place is sixty miles away in Chihli province) was the means of reviving the expiring faith of the few that were left. She had learned to read before she was married, and had a little service each Sunday at which (in defiance of the proprieties) she took the lead. She had no help, but rather opposition from her brother in-law, the former helper, but she quietly held on, and sixteen months ago Mr. Porter visited them, and found that fourteen persons- wished to be baptized. One of these was a woman, whose husband refused his consent to this proceeding, sententiously observing that if any moie •'religion" was needed in the family, he would see to it, and she might have leisure to attend to her proper business. Whenever she came to meeting, it was a "stolen" opportunity, and she was generally beaten to pay for it, often with extreme severity. Although she has been a virago hitherto, she bore this gained �72 treatment in such a way as to excite the curiosity of her husband as to therationale of the matter, and at last he frankly asked her what it meant. She embraced the opportunity to explain her position, and the result was that he begged her to pray for him, and he went to paoTing-fu to study last winter, and was there baptized. This sounds like a stuty "out of a book," which only shows that God's grace is the same in all places. I had the pleasure of baptizing the youngest child of this couple. There are now about twenty members there. and they meet regularly twice a week. and have a little fund made up of odd cash contributed by the old women as they are able, toward the building ot a little chapel, to be their vers own, and which will cap their ambition. At our Mission Meeting just past, we- have asked for a new family for this little interim station, and in fact for reinforcements for every one of the older stations, the renewal of the old station of Yu Chou, where there hits been no resident missionary for fifteen years, and the opening oftwo new stations in the regions of southern Chihli, or northern Honan, where as yet there are no missionaries, and where they have no idea that foreigners have penetrated to the Celestial Empire! If all should come for whom we have asked, there would be next year an accession of twenty-nine people, though we hardly expect so many at one time. There is to be, we suppose, another general Missionary Conference in Shanghai, in 1890, to which we are all looking forward with great interest. In the eleven years since the last conference, the changes have been very great, and not the less significant because they have all been peaceful ones. With the exception of the desultory scuffle with the French, which can hardly be termed a war, there has been no breach of peace with foreign nations since Peking was taken in 1860. From a position of insecurity, merely tolerated on sufferance, missionaries have gradually advanced to a position of security, with all the protection that they can expect. In great cities, and in new regions like Ssu Ch'uan the people still offer occasional violence, but the officials in the end always try to adjust the matter in a satisfactory way, and in general this class, if not more friendly, are far less hostile to us than we have any right to expect. The wide influence of the score or more of hospitals and dispensaries, must be everywhere felt. Here, in the center of a community strictly rural, with no great city anywhere near, Dr. Peck has treated within the last year more than 9,306 patients, and his name has gone abroad into all the earth. This form of work is far more valuable than any famine relief could be, because it is regular, uniformly distributed over wide districts, and never stops. We have reported to our people, the unexampled generosity of the people THE FRIEND. of the "Sandalwood Islands," and they hold you all in admiration and in awe. So, perhaps omitting the awe, do we, and shall cherish it as a bright memory that we were once permitted to visit for a few months, the Isles of the Sea, which have been so prominent a witness to the perennial power of Christianity to spread. Meantime, I remain with the best wishes for you and your work, most sincerely and gratefully, Arthur H. Smith. [September, 1888 beautiful Punahou.

Why do you delay to give yourself wholly to Christ? We personally know the writer of these words. He is an eminent pastor of more than thirty years in one city church, and a Christian of tender and lovely spirit. These words too are tender and persuasive. We cannot say that every word is not in a sense true. Yet there is one expression, which we would like to modify, because we think it fails to set forth the truth as to God's sorrow, —his regret—his sense of loss and grief in the self-destruction of sinners. It is this: "God will be infinitely happy though you fail to honor him." It seems very clear both from the old and the new Testaments, that theFather of all is |)iofoundly grieved at the death of even sinner; that He would save them if it were possible, and that their ruin is a cause of the greatest pain and sorrow to God. Although it is true that an infinite Blessedness rolls evermore like an ocean through his being, it seems equally true that he experiences profound sorrow for his dying creatures. We would strictly avoid every expression seeming to imply that he is indifferent. God's compassion, his love, his sorrow for sinners—his pitying fatherhood is one of the tenderest and strongest incentives to men to turn and live. "How can I give thee up, Ephraim?"

I i"his page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions, and the Fditoi, appointed by the Hoard is responsible forits contents. Rev. Jas. BickneU, - - Editor. is making a month's visiting the churches in Puna and Kan. also attending a meeting of Association at Waimea. He thus adds to his own work that of the Corresponding Secretary, as during Mr. Forbes ill health he had done before. Rev. Dr. Hyde tour on Hawaii, We are glad to learn that on Sunday, the I "2th August, he met five audiences in Waiohinu, Honuapo, and Naalehu. including one of Japanese at the latter place. All the native congregations were large, as was one at l'unaluu on Monday evening. The people welcome these visits from the missionary makuas, and the native pastors are essentially helped and stim ulated by them. One man is needed on each principal island who shall labor constantly in visitation among the churches. No definite information yet comes of the appointment of any such helpers. One is needed for the vacant Secretary ship, another to reinforce Dr. Hyde in the N. P. Institute, his strength having long been over-taxed by manifold duties. And then, the men for evangelistic and pastoral work, as above. The A. B. C. F. M. have agreed to send men on, as soon as they can be secured. We shall be glad to get them, if only one at a time. Meantime the subscription at these Islands toward the support of such missionaries now exceeds $7,000 per annum. Of this $:?,000 are from Rev. I-:. Bond, and $1.0011 each from G. N. Wilcox, H. P. Baldwin, and the H. M. C. Society. A newspaper correspondent lately attributed to missionaries the virtue or crime which ever it was of getting rich, (iood Father Bond is the only one we ever knew of, who could be called rich, that is. who ever acquired more property than would yield a very moderate, living. He did it by a fortunate location of waste land near his dwelling, which became converted twenty-live years ago into shares in a small plantation, one thai grew ultimately into a larj;e and profitable one. As Mi. Bond never turned aside from his missionary work, and never applied himseli to secular business, he may well say that his moderate wealth is from the Lord. He has truly employed it liberally, as held for the Lord. 75 THE FRIEND. Kawaiahao Girls' Seminary. This institution has greatly prospered during the past few years under Miss Alexander as principal, aided hy her able associate. Miss Malone. Prospered, we mean not only in numbers, in finances, and in additional facilities, but also in gooil and thorough work upon the minds and characters of Hawaiian girls. These ladies seem to have possessed an especial gift in enlisting munificent aid from the friends of the school. Between ten and twelve thousand dollarshave been secured within a year and a half. Must of this has been applied to the addition of a large wing at the east end, taking the place of the old stone wing, the former mission bindery. In this wing is the large school and assembly room, thirty-five by forty-two feet. Adjoining aie two school rooms, capable of being thrown into one with the larger room hy sliding doors, and so doubling its area. The whole makes a no mean lecture room. All are furnished with school desks of the latest pattern. Upstairs are two large dormitories intended for seventy girls, but capable of accommodating ninety. The dormitories in the other parts of the building will accommodate fifty or sixty. The pressure of applicants is so great that it will be hard to keep the school below its outside capacity of one hundred and fifty hoarders. The late corps of teachers have as nearly worn themselves out in the service as they could be justified in doing, and all now retire with the exception of Miss Hopper. They are to be succeeded by six new teachers. The new principal is Miss Helen A. Pepoon, for seven years past the principal of Fox Lake Seminary, Wisconsin. Among the others are Miss Frear, formerly of Honolulu, and Miss Grace L. Brewer, daughter of Prof, l-'isk P. Brewer, of Grinned College, lowa, and granddaughter of Key. William Richards, the first Minister of Public Instruction in this kingdom. This corps of teachers are expected to arrive about September fust. It should be said that besides the recent improvements above named, nearly twenty thousand dollars had been previously expended in building. Now, .ill tin old mission buildings have been removed, and the new seminary stands a handsome and somewhat imposing structure, fronted by a beautiful lawn. The school has just been so happy as to acquire the much needed lot adjoining. si, long occupied by the late William Guliek. Kawaiahao Seminary is for English education of Hawaiian girls. Sewing and household economy are leading branches of instruction. Board and tuition, fifty dollars per annum; piano, extra. A noble career seems to lie before the school. Christian schools of this class are, in our opinion, the most effective coadjutors of the church in steadily lifting up the Hawaiian race. This must be done through the home and through the future wives and mothers who make the home. A Little Old Saint. Mis. Arthur Smith writes of a village near Pang Chuang as follows: "Most interesting of all this group, is the little grandmother, aged til!, mother of the five men who all entered the church together. She has a face seamed and wrinkled, two bright little beady eyes close together, and the cheeriest smile in Shantung. She has never yet recovered from her delighted surprise that the 'Ming Shepheid' baptized her. She tells the story with a naive humility that loses itself each time in the great joy that crowns her life. "There I was." she says, "and all my five sons to be baptized, but I wasn't expecting anything, because I was old and stupid.' But who would have thought it! The shepherd called me, and he said, 'what do you knowabout it, venerable lady?' I said, Tarn old and stupid, and can't talk, but I know that God loves me. and gives me everything, and I thank him every day, and I lean on Jesus, and ask him to save me from my sins.' And (with a smile that fairly transfigured the plain old face), the shepherd said,'come along and be baptized with your five sons.' So I did." The family is a poor one, and has to work hard for a living- such, busy, busy women; but not too busy to think about heaven as we followed them around from spinning-wheel to loom, and from loom to needle work, trying to give a fair share to those who are glad to learn, but who must not stop work." Go through a Canadian village in the province of Cjuebec, and find out, if you can, where the son has advanced upon the intelligence of the father. The Roman church holds him in statu qua. The education is just enough to keep him from absolute ignorance. Go into the French quarter of Montreal, or into the same three-quarters of (Quebec, and you shall feel the change in the atmosphere without entering a single dwelling. The intellectual hie is stunted. The influence of the Roman church in Canada is that of repression and hostility to civilization of the highest type. It is the truth, that the Roman Catholic religion is the principal obstacle to the proper development of Lower Canada. It works not for the building up ol society, not for the enlargement of men's lives, hut for the aggrandizement of the Papacy, as expressed in the acquisition flf property, and the increased control of the people in the interests of the Church.

Christian at Work. — Never a Drop. One can readily imagine the amazement of our English cousins, to hear from Howe's own lips that he never tasted a drop of alcoholic liquor, nor used tobacco in any form; that he never yet had an ache or pain alter any race, and never found any one to push him hard when in condition. His diet is oatmeal, beef, chops, plenty of eggs, one cup of hot tea at each meal, and no drinks at all between meals. Rowe says: I have consulted the finest doctors and physicians in the United States, and they tell me the greater part of my success lies in my abstinence. I feel myself that it is so. lam just as good one day as another. I never have an off-day, whereas people who take stimulants are good to-day and nothing the next day. It sometimes takes them a fortnight to get back again into good order. Professionals have admitted as much to me. When I rode my greatest distance in the hour, I had not done any work on my bicycle for a week, on account of bad weather; and though 1 thought I should not be in condition, yet when I came to ride I found I accomplished the greatest performance ever yet done in the world.—Leisure Hours, Boston. It is right of your young men to enrich themselves with the spotla of all pure literature; but he who would make a favorite of a bad book, simply because it contains a few beautiful passages, might as well caress the hand of an assassin because of the jewelry which sparkles on his fingers.— Joseph Parker. No grace is more necessary to the Christian worker than fidelity; the humble grace that marches on in sunshine and storm, when no banners are waving, and there is no music to cheer the tired feet. �THE FRIEND. High License. In the debate on the Crosby High License Bill in the New York Assembly, one member saial that "a tax on the saloons no more lessened the amount of drinking than a tax on coffins lessened the death-rate." We do not regard High License as by any means an effective temperance measure, but nevertheless think it is far better than low license, or than unlimited liberty to saloons. Honolulu has had forty or fifty years experience of a Higjr License system, by which a limited number of saloons, say ten or twelve, pay Slonu each for license to retail. As we understand the Crosby and other high license systems at the East, as many saloons are licensed as choose to pay the established fee. Our system is therefore still more restrictive. As to its restraining effect, we think it is generally agreed that there is less liquor sold than if grog-shops were opened on every street corner throughout the city. There is some illicit traffic probably, but not approaching the amount of traffic which unrestricted license would produce. As it is, every person with an appetite for beer, wine or spirits, is able to gratify it with facility. Drunkards and the evil fruits of drunkenness abound. Great numbers of persons also are being enticed to drink, and are in process of creating a fixed appetite. It is not for the interest of the regular saloons to interfere very much with the illicit traffic, because the more temptation and the more frequent opportunity there is to drink, the more rapidly and numerously are fresh appetites created, and so new customers for the saloons are supplied. If we admit what is perhaps true, that with our large British and German elements, public sentiment in favor of entire prohibition is not sufficiently advanced to render prohibition practicable or expedient, until our foreigners are educated up to the measure, yet it does seem as if very much advance could be made in restricting the activity of the saloon traffic—in diminishing the convenience and the attractiveness of such places. Admit that many men demand as a right, under the full approval of their conscience, that they shall be permitted to supply themselves with beer, wine, or spirits, does that support any claim of right on the part of vendors to create places of seductive attraction and allurement to increase the consumption and their profits thereon ? As a measure of amendment, we would require the saloons to be divested of all elements of attraction as places of agreeable resort and recreation. We would have them made as bare as a butcher's stall or a blacksmith's shop, of everything but the so-called necessary stimulants. There should be nothing to invite the pleasure-seeker or to accommodate the lounger. If there must be places where men shall purchase liquors, let all screens be removed from the doors —all privacy be forbidden—all seats betaken away. Let the purchasers supply themselves and go away. It will be an important step forward when the liquor shop ceases to be a "saloon" —is divested of conveniences and attractions—and when those who indulge, must do so in the view of the public. If it is right for A. to buy his glass of liquor, why should he be ashamed to do it openly, any more than B. is, to liuv openly his glass of soda-water? The parents whose children are debauched by the saloon, the wives whose homes it desolates, the children whom it beggars and starves, the community which is scourged and taxed by the crimes it generates, have the right to demand at least this much of restriction and repres sion upon its pestiferous work. End! Is it any wonder that those unevangelized minions of a coward Pilate eighteen hundred years ago stripped this man Jesus of his raiment and put on him the purple of mock royalty—in his hand a reed for sceptre, and on his head a wreath of prickles? Is it so wonderous strange a thing that they should have smitten his face with switches and spat upon him, and bowed down before him with jeers and guffaws before they took off the purple (the time being spent) and replaced his own clothing for the execution, and then, drawing down their faces, marched to Calvary with exhibition step and decorum ? Are these things so wonderful in them, and is it an occasion of no remark that upon a brutal "slogger" is conferred the corporate recognition of a Christian community of four hundred thousand souls? Such things, however, did our Master bear. The record does not give us light upon ii. demeanor in face of these brutal bufferings. We can only be sure that his heavenly dignity did not fail him even then. They crucify him. He hears the jests renewed. That most stinging of them all: "He saved others, himself he cannot save."

Our columns in June recorded the public satisfaction felt in the re-election of this gentleman as President of the Legislature. It is so very soon and suddenly our lot to join in the general mourning for his decease. Mr. Wilder was an experienced and sagacious leader in public affairs. He was successful and enterprising in business, but especially honored for the noble public spirit which made his enterprise tributary to the public welfare, as in the Marine Railway, the Steamship Company, the Kohala Railway, the projected Hamakua and Hilo Railway, and his excellent Volcano route. His superior business ability was habitually directed in lines contributing to the development of our resources and the general welfare. Mr. Wilder was greatly honored for integrity and generosity. All feel that a heavy loss has been sustained in his death. THE M. E. JAPANESE MISSION. The statements by Dr. Hyde with the accompanying correspondence on our seventh page, give the facts concerning the establishing here of a branch of the San Francisco Mission of the Methodist Episcopal Church to the Japanese. This has been arranged with the Hawaiian Board —who were prosecuting the work with inadequate means—in the most cordial and fraternal spirit on both sides, and with the most glad and hearty welcome on our part to this grand reinforcement of our Christian work at a time of so great straits. These dear brethren of the Methodist Church have come and given a wonderfully efficient help to the Lord's work in Hawaii at just the time when we were most in clanger of discouragement from the great increase of work, and our lack of men and means. As may be supposed, we had not looked to our Methodist brethren as a source of possible aid. The Lord of the vineyard has chosen his own way of sending relief. They have come, filled with the spirit of Gospel work, and have been favored with remarkable success. They come, not as rivals, but as helpers. One great source of satisfaction in this new organization is in the practical carrying out of the principle of Christian fellowship between sister denominations. Nothing can be more cordial and fraternal than the whole action and spirit on both sides in this matter. Rev. M. C. Harris, Superintendent of the San Francisco Mission, has greatly endeared himself to us in these respects, as well as by his inspiring and affectionate Christian zeal. Another and even deeper satisfaction is in the marked manifestation of the Divine Spirit's power in connection with the labors of Rev. Mr. Miyama. the leader of the new mission. This evidencing appeared in a marked manner in the experiences in the household of The the Japanese Consul-General. were heard echoes of these experiences by many in the testimonies given by the Consul and his household when examined preparatory to baptism. A good work had been done and much seed sown by Dr. Hyde and his associates in labors for the Japan* <• ; the first visit of Mr. Ifiyama. Thl Consul-General, 11, Taro Ando, had himself been diligent in benevolent efforts for his countrymen- had been indeed a true father to his people— and had lent his personal encouragement to Christian efforts in their behalf. Having been educated an Atheist, however, his 61 The Friend. Number 8. own unbelief had remained apparently unmoved. He had welcomed Mr. Miyama to his house, and under the influence of his sweet and earnest Christian intelligence the seeds of faith began to grow in the Consul's mind and in that of his cultivated and interesting lady. They became in a few months devout and prayerful Christians. Within a few weeks the Divine Power seemed to descend upon the whole household; and every secretary and attache- became deeply moved and converted to Christ. Every domestic servant was also converted. The testimonies of these dearfriendshasbeen profoundly affecting. Mr. Miyama and his associates are full of joy, and are going forward with great hope and expectation to carry the knowledge of Christ Jesus to all their The countrymen in these islands. example of their official head, highly esteemed as he is among them, must have a powerful influence. The most hearty and hopeful prayers are going up for the success of these workers, and must be joined in by all. And now is the time for every Christian to help in this Japanese work as they have opportunity. ITEMS. President Merritt, Rev. E. P. Baker, and several Punahou boys, lately ascended Mauna Loa. Rev. M. C. Harris gave a most inspiring talk on the progress of the gospel in Japan on Sunday the 15th ult., in Central Union Church. Rev. E. P. Baker of the Eoreign Church at Hilo, has at the earnest and united request of the church determined to remain, after having fully arranged his departure, The venerable missionary father and mother, Mr. Edward Bailey and wife are about to take up their residence in California, whither three of their sons have removed. Our Japanese friends gave a most agieeabie welcome on the evening of the ilh ult. to Rev. M. C. Harris at a reEmma Hall; a fareception in well reception followed at the same place on the evening of July 26th, to Mr. Harris and Mr. Shimidzu, the excellent calporteur who had been labor ing for six months under the auspices of the Hawaiian Board. �THE FRIEND. 62 [Augst, 1888 proving the fact of a change in apostolic of religionists can argue to any extent times may go for nothing with them, for their side.

But we do think- part of his letter; we were governed in one on which we all cheerfully and that in doing so, they are bound to our belief of Mormon error by other conSEVENTH-DAY-ISM. fraternally agree to differ. The duty of baptism by immersion is one for which a large body of beloved and honored Evangelical churches are strenuous; and immersion itself has, without doubt, been extensively practised in the churches from the beginning. Their other peculiarities of teaching do not, as far as we know, impair the clearness and cogency with which they hold and teach the great doctrines of the blessed Gospel of Jesus Christ. Why should they come here to make war upon us? Why do they not gladly and fraternally work with us? We have religious adversaries enough, full of zeal and of confidence in their own standards. Only the Lord of the harvest knows why still others are permitted to come and in his name to attack the churches first planted here, and so blessed and honored by Divine gifts and fruits of salvation, poor as their service has been. "The Sabbath is, by God's command, the seventh day, and not the first." This is the dogma with which these Christian brothers assail us, declaring us to be apostate churches, because in observing the first day as Sabbath, we thereby violate a.sacred ordinance of God, and are rebellious and disobedient. Our well-known apology for the observance of the first day is, that it is the "Lord's Day" of the New Testament —that it commemorates the Lord's Resurrection—that it is the day which he himself chose and consecrated byrepeated meetings with his disciples that by apostolic testimony, it was of special observance in the church. Add to this that the Didachc, or Teaching of the Twelve Apostles (a church manual in general use near the end of the first century, as all leading scholars agree) expressly designates the Lord's Day, ho kuriakos kurioii, as the day of Christian assembling and worship. low all this may go for nothing as lority with our zealous brethren inst the old Mosaic specification, 'the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." All the above records — I exercise some modesty. If they are siderations. So we have no doubt that really in the right, it is certainly a most some of these Seventh-day friends might extraordinary thing. They, the least of get the better of us in their special the tribes of Israel, undistinguished by pleading on this one point on which any learning not only, but by any they have trained themselves.

This whole matter a res stantis vel cadentis ecclesiae; and of holding to one figure rather than anall the rest of Christendom are in fatal other, of seven instead of one, is excesserror. This is certainly a tremendous ively petty.

There is no doubt that the great majority, irrespective of religion, are perfectly agreed on Sunday as the most available day, for many preponderating reasons. We think that the majority can hardly be charged with injustice if they refuse to admit claims to exemption from this wholesome law, which, if granted, would go far to break up the useful working of that law. A man might conceive it his religious duty to be dressed in bed and go undressed in the day time. But any inconvenience resulting in his relations to society would have to be charged to his own singularity, and not to the injustice of his neighbors. We are sorry for the inconvenience to which our Seventh-day friends find themselves subject. We cordially wish for them a better understanding of God's will, and more moderation in asserting their own opinions and rights to the detriment of so beneficent an institution as the Christian Sabbath. SERMON BY REV. T. L. GULICK AT THE FUNERAL OF MRS. M. A. ALEXANDER. Haiku, Mali, July 1, 1888. At evening time it shall be light. —Zee. 14:7. This was very true ol our dear Mother Alexander. After a long and bright day, filled with love and usefulness, there was a serene and beautiful evening time, in which a mild radiance shone about her, filling those who knew her with thoughts of heaven, and bright anticipations of the greater glory which she was soon to behold. When she so suddenly left us, it almost seemed as though we could see the pearly gates and the golden streets, where she had entered to join her companion in the toils of earth, the innumerable company of angels and the spirits of the just made perfect. She had but little of this earth's goods but what a rich legacy she has left, no, only to her children, but to us all. Its worth is above all rubies and precious stones. She was so retiring that only those who were intimate with her were conscious of the full strength of her character; but, who that knew her has not felt the warm pulse of her loving heart? God is love; and that divine love had so entered into her that it seemed to have taken possession of her whole being, and to irradiate with light and warmth all who came within the circle of her influence. It was this flame of fathers of New England, to sail from By a providential ordering, our theme New Bedford November l'i>, 1831, to at the last prayer-meeting she attended, spend their lives, far from home and and which she afterwards said she enkindred, in lifting degraded savages out joyed very much, was " Heaven, our of heathen darkness.

O. FORBES. By the Australia, July 21th, was received the very surprising and afflicting intelligence that our beloved and efficient Corresponding Secretary, the Reverend Anderson Oliver Forbes, very suddenly departed this life at Colorado Springs, early on Sunday, July Bth. Mr. Forbes had been enjoying his sojourn exceedingly at this famous health resort, and had apparently made line progress towards the recovery of his long-impaired health. His appetite and digestion had been better than for nearly two years past. He was eagerly planning for Mrs. Forbes to join him in Colorado, as she was much in need of rest and change, and was already embarking for California. This was not to be. After an active day on Friday, visiting at Col. Ue la Vergne's, he found his head somewhat affected on Saturday, apparently tending to sick-headache. It did not seem sufficiently serious to ask medical aid which was at hand. At nine that evening, he retired as usual. Not long after, a lady inmate of the house heard him moaning, and entering his room, found him unconscious upon his bed. Medical aid was at once obtained, but he passed away in the early morning, without a return of consciousness. Congestion of the brain was the immediate cause of death. Col. Dc la Vergne and family showed the utmost kindness. Mr. S. T. Alexander of Oakland telegraphed to have the remains embalmed to await the wishes of Mrs. Forbes who landed in San Francisco on the 10th. By her decision the funeral was proceeded with at the place of decease, she lacking the strength to go on thither, although furnished every possible aid thereto by the kindness of Mr. C. M. Cooke. Mr. Forbes was the eldest son of Rev. Cochran Forbes, missionary at Kaawaloa, Hawaii, where he was born April 14,1833. His earlier schooling was at Punahou under Rev. D. Dole. He went to the United States with his parents on their return thither in 1848, and in the following year united with the church. He graduated at Washington College, Pa., in 1853,and at Princeton Theological Seminarj-in 1858, receiving Presbyterian ordination as an Evangelist at Philadelphia May 5, 1858, and returned to the islands as a missionary of the A. B. C. F. M., via Panama, in September of that year. He was at once stationed at Kaluaaha, Molokai, as successor to the deceased Father Hitchcock, into whose wonderfully successful labors Mr. Forbes man into the Hawaiian work since Mr. entered with remarkable efficiency and iForbes in 1858, and Dr. Hyde in 1877. zeal, having already an idiomatic famil- [Hence the present deficiency.

Mr. Miyama gathered at his house to hear the story. Rev. Mr. Harris, Superintendent of the Japanese Mission in San Francisco, had come to Honolulu on the steamer arriving July *th. The new converts were eager to make some public acknowledgement of their faith. They wished to be baptized by Rev. Mr. Miyama. Arrangements were accordingly made for a Union Consecration Service in the Central Union Church, Sunday afternoon, July 15th. After brief addresses by Rev. Mr. Harris, Rev. Dr. Hyde and M. Taro Ando, the ordinance of Baptism was administered in Japanese by Rev. Mr. Miyama, and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper by Rev. Dr. Beckwith and Mr. Harris. The persons baptized were M. Taro Ando, the Japanese Consul, Mrs. Ando, four attaches of the Consul, two domestic servants, also a woman and her child from Mr. Miyama's household. There were present and participants in the Communion, Chinese, Japanese, Gilbert Islanders, Hawaiians, English, uniting with members of the Central Union Church in this unique, impromptu, impressive service. The coming of Rev. Mr. Miyama was at the desire of the Japanese Christians in San Francisco, who deputed him to come and look after the religious welfare of the 4,500 Japanese laborers, that have been brought to these islands. It is hoped that his work may take on some permanent form, and it was with a view to arrange for this that Rev. Mr. Harris came to Honolulu. The correspondence which follows shows how satisfactorily this has been arranged: Hon. A. F. Judd, Pres. Hawaiian Board. Dear Brother:—-The attention of the Japanese Christians of San Francisco, belonging to the Japanese Mission, was first directed to the Japanese laborers on the Hawaiian Islands about two An earnest desire was years ago. awakened at that time to do something for their countrymen, but owing to business reasons no steps were taken. The interest however continued to grow, and finally took shape in the visit of Rev. K. Miyama in September, 1887, the object of which was to ascertain their condition, and if anything could be done for them. Upon his return he reported that Rev. Dr. Hyde, Mr. F. Damon, and many other friends of the Japanese, had already taken steps to Christianize the people, but that they were embarrased for want of trained Japanese workers, and recommended that we send one or two young men to the Islands to work under the Hawaiian Board. While the matter was under consideration, letters were received from Messrs. Irwin, Ando, and Damon, urging the immediate return of Mr. Miyama 67 THE FRIEND. to continue the work so auspiciously grace that has been going on during the begun, Mr. Irwin offering to meet all past few months, culminating in the financal outlay necessary. As Mr. Mi- Union Consecration Services in the yama had been appointed to the Mission Central Union Church on Sunday afterin San Francisco, he was not at liberty noon, July 15th.

We hesitated at taking the latter step, and it was decided that I should come and confer with the Hawaiian Board before taking any action; but this was found to be impracticable, as I could not leave at the time, owing to illness of my wife, and other reasons. Accordingly after much prayful consideration, it was decided to send Mr. and Mrs. Miyama, and Mr. Ukai to begin the work at once in connection with the Japan Mission of San Francisco. These workers are now on the field and ready to go forward and give the Gospel to their countrymen, in cooperation with the Christian people of these Islands. While for many reasons, we should like to unite in forming a purely independent organization among the Japanese here, yet we are not at liberty to do so while sustaining our present relationship to our Conference and Missionary Society. We recognize the devoted and successful labors of Rev. Dr. Hyde, Mr. Damon, and many others in behalf of the Japanese; and we desire that they continue to cooperate with these Japanese toilers in the common work of the Master. We do not seek to. magnify denominational distinctions, but to strive together with you in the Gospel in saving men. I desire to express my profound appreciation of the cordial and catholic spirit that you and all the brethren have manifested in the conferences held upon this subject; and I earnestly pray that we may all be so led by the Holy Spirit, that the cause of the Lord, so precious to us all, may not only suffer no injury, but be greatly promoted. Yours fraternally, M. C. Harris, Supt. Japan Mission, San Francisco. Board of Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Rev. M. C. Harris, Sup't of the Japanese Mission, San Francisco. The undersigned, Dear Brother: members of the special committee of the Hawaiian Board on Chinese and Japanese Evangelization, have been instructed to reply to your communication of the 24th instant, read at the meeting of the Board last evening. It has given us great pleasure to meet you, and to unite with you as occasion offered, in religious meetings and exercises with the Japanese resident in Honolulu. We have rejoiced with you also in the incidents and the developments of the wonderful work of divine — in the San Francisco Mission, who have felt moved to come to the islands and undertake Christian work among their countrymen resident here. We most heartily reciprocate your desire for some possible organic union outside of any lines of denominational nomenclature. But we fully appreciate your loyalty to the Church in which you hold recognized official positions, and your reluctance to compromise yourselves or others by any action inconsis tent therewith. In view of acknowledg ed difficulties in uniting differing ecclesiastical polities, we yet believe with you that cooperation in some form is both desirable and practicable. Taking this view of the circumstances in which we find ourselves, we most heartily respond to your expressed deWe welsire for such cooperation. come yourselves, Mr. Miyama, and any who may be hereafter associated in your mission to the Japanese in Hawaii nei. We have enjoyed working together in various forms of Christian activity and usefulness. We assume no right or form of direction or control in the conduct of the work, which is distinctly re cognized as originating from the Japanese Mission in San Francisco, and con ducted under its auspices. In whatever way our Christian people, outside of your ecclesiastical organization, haying been accustomed to work undenominationally, may render aid or comfort, we are ready to unite with you in active efforts for the one great object of the working Church, the glory of God in the salvation of souls, and particularly the lifting up of these Japanese to the privileges and responsibilities of the Christian life of faith and hope and love. We understand that you leave Rev. Mr. Miyama at the head of this work, and with him we shall be pleased to confer, as occasion may arise, in regard to the time, place, or method of such Christian work as may seem to him desirable and feasible for any of our people to do. We assure you that any and all will most gladly and heartily do whatever they can to help on the good work so auspiciously begun. May the Lord of the Harvest send forth more laborers and give abundant increase to all work for the common Master. Yours in Christian fellowship and C. M. Hyde, work. S. E. Bishop, E. G. Beckwith.

Mr. George Williams, the founder of the Young Men's Christian Association, is expected to be present at the World's Convention which convenes in Stockholm the fifteenth of the present month. Few men have lived to see a work of their own planting so abundantly honored of God and fruitful. From one single company of consecrated young men there have grown nearly four thousand Associations, with a membership of more than two millions, whose fraternal grasp encircles the entire globe. While the history of the movement extends over a period of forty-four years yet the marked growth, numerically and otherwise, has been principally within the last twenty-five years. The last five years have been years of unprecedented financial prosperity, as evinced by the "building boom" that has extended over the entire field of Association effort. The numerous handsome and substantial Y. M. C. A. buildings that have been erected in small as well as large cities have given the work a prominence and permanency that promise well for the future, if the spiritual forces keep pace with the material progress. During these last few years not so much attention has been given to multiplying the numbers of Associations as to perfecting the organization of those already established, and this cannot be fully accomplished until the Association owns a home, specially planned and fully equipped for its own peculiar work. The number of buildings owned by the Associations in America has nearly doubled during the last five years, the present number being 132. During the same period the total net property owned by American Associations has increased from $3,330,786 to $7,201,658; and the number of persons employed in the work has increased from 255 to 752, with 43 positions temporarily vacant at the present time. JAPANESE Y. M. C. A. The work connected with the Japanese Y. M. C. A. has been greatly stimulated by a visit from Rev. M. C. Harris, Superintendent of the Japanese Mission in San Francisco. A very pleasant welcome reception was given Mr. Harris at Queen Emma Hall on July 9th, and at the same place Thursday evening, July 26th,an interestingfarewell reception was given to Mr. Harris and Mr. Shirhidzu, whoreturned to San Francisco on the following Saturday. A large number of friends were present to show their interest and join in the exercises, which consisted of speeches and singing [Augst, 1888 HINTS FOR LEADING A MEETING.

GEMS FROM SCHOPENHAUER. . There is in the world only one false being, that is man. He stands as a blemish in nature. However closely friendship, love and marriage bind men, each man ultimately only means well by himself, or at most, by his child. Wherein should one refresh oneself from the endless deception, falsity and malice of mankind, if dogs were not there in whose honest faces one could look without mistrust? Women remain children their lives long, only see what is immediately before them, cling to the present, take the appearance for the reality, and prefer trifles to things of the greatest importance. Before a tribunal, two male witnesses should outweigh any two, or even four female witnesses. For I believe that the female sex, in the mass, emits daily three times as man)' lies as the male. A woman always needs a guardian, and should never, therefore, act as one. Between men exists by nature indifference, but between women exists by nature hostility. Only the beclouded intellect of man could apply the term 'fair' to the lowgrown, narrow-shouldered, wide-hipped and short-legged sex. The European lady is a being that should not exist; there should be only housewives and girls who hope to become housewives, and they should be brought up therefore, not to arrogance, but to domesticity and subjection. The republican system is as unnatural to man as it is unfavorable to the higher intellectual life, and so to the arts and sciences. How beneficial would be the sixteen hours of the wearisome and thereby dangerous Sunday, if twelve of them were distributed over all the days of the week! The true national character of the Germans is clumsiness; this is what is conspicuous in their walk, their actions, their speech, their conversation, their understanding and thinking, but quite especially in their style of writing. The English are by nature better provided with understanding, intelligence, power of judgment and firmness of character, than any other nation, but sunk far below any other and made positively contemptible by their stupid church superstition. Educated Englishmen, travelling on the continent, and manifesting their Sabbatarian superstition, should be shamed into common sense by being treated with unconcealed contempt. Journalists are like small dogs, who whenever anything moves, forthwith set up a loud barking.—Gentlemen's Magazine. Some "advanced thinkers" are just now making Schopenhauer their Bible.

The second of last April a Protestant pastor of Malaga, Senor Vila, was summoned before the court of that city to answer for having trampled on the laws of Spain. A priest of Malaga had distributed a printed circular in the part of the city where the protestant chapel was, in which he says: "The beautiful image of the 'Virgen dc los Dolores,' so loved and venerated in these regions, will return in a few days to dwell in your midst, and will rejoice with its presence your fields, will protect your dwellings, and shelter under its mantle of mercy your dear families. I also firmly believe that the mere presence of this holy image of sorrow will be all sufficient to deliver you from the wretches who seek your souls, not to save them and direct them to heaven, but to destroy them, carrying them away to eternal condemnation. "Yes, my beloved children, the old and already rickety protestantism, discredited and moribund in its own country, Germany and England, has wished to try its fortune in Spain, ever virgin in the faith," &c, &c. Senor Vila replied in a circular: "We will not stop to comment at large on the assertion as an article of faith 'that the image of the Virgin of Sorrows will rejoice with its presence your fields, will protect your homes and shelter under its mantle of mercy your families.' This is pure paganism. Everybody knows that from the same wood of which the artificer made this image, he could make a manger for the horse of the priest. And why should not the manger have the same virtue as the image of the Virgin of Sorrows? But we have a few words to say on what follows. The priest firmly believes that the mere presence of the image of the Sorrows will be sufficient to frighten away the Protestants from the ' Gate of the Tower.' He is mistaken. Our presence there will be more constant to combat idolatry, and we will continue to show to all, from the Sacred Scriptures, that there is a commandment of God which the church of the priest hides from the people, that forbids the making of images to be venerated, which forbids their worship or giving to them any religious homage: teaching us to love, venerate and worship God only through Jesus Christ. We preach these truths, and we teach the people to go to God through the mediatorship of Jesus Christ alone, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." There is considerable more in similar strain in both circulars, but the above is the most serious and significant portion of each as was shown by the way in which they were singled out by the court. Senor Vila's offense would doubtless have been more grave if he had simply quoted Isaiah 44:9-19, Psalm 115:4-8 and Exodus 20:1, 5. For this sacrilege of "comparing," as the court says,"the sacred image of la Virgen dc los Dolores with the manger of the horse of the priest and attributing the same virtue to this miserable object as to that, by which the greatest scorn is thrown upon the worship of the holy images," etc., Pastor Vila is condemned to "two years, four months and one day «£ imprisonment; to pay a fine of two hundred and fifty pesetas ($5O) and the costs of court." The case has been appealed to the Supreme Court. We and many others will await with much interest the result of the second trail. Spanish Romanists are learning by a novel experience in>Micronesia and elsewhere that they cannot do what they please with closed doors, as in the palmy days of the Spanish Inquisition. Since the failure at Sioux City, lowa, to convict the man who murdered Rev. Mr. Haddock at the instigation of the saloonkeeper, the reaction and uprising of feeling in Sioux City have totally exterminated the saloons there, and nearly all the men engaged in the business have either fled or are in prison. The gambling houses and brothers are being closed as fast as the Law and Order League can bring it about. The laws are now better enforced there than in any other large city in Iowa; it is growing more rapidly; the churches are adding scores to their membership. It was a pitiful thing that Haddock's death should have gone unvisited by the law; but it is a great joy to learn that the law was all the more vividly written on the hearts of the citizens of Sioux City. Why should it be thought incredible that God should raise the dead ? is Paul's triumphant question to King Agnppa. Why, thou creature listening to the blowing of the winds, thou creature gladdened with the waves of light that reach thee from the distant sun, why, thou creature of quivering nerve, dependent for thy sentient life upon the interweaving of subtlest agencies, whose secrets laugh thy knowledge all to scorn, why should it be incredible to thee that God, the living God, should, if thou dost ask of Him, find other gate ways than those of sense and space, and fill thee with the beginning* of a second and more wonderful existence? If conscience smite thee once, it is admonition; if twice, it is condemnation. �THE FRIEND. T rPHEO. H. DAVIES k CO., Kaahumanu Street, Honululll. Generalcy Commission . igen is 1).

There is no doubt among those acquainted with the subject, that for the past two or three years it has been assuming a very serious aspect. During that time strenuous and systematic efforts have been made in certain quarters for the revival of the old pagan worship in various forms. This is not a new thing. It began with Kamehameha V, and that some years before his accescession to the throne in 1864, while he occupied the very influential position of the Minister of the Interior under his brother, Kamehameha IV. About 1861, he caused to be issued more than 300 printed licenses to as many native medicine-men, with schedules of prices for their services to the sick. While these men employed some native herbs and a few foreign drugs, their art was mainly that of the sorcerer. Here, as among heathen people everywhere, all diseases are understood to be caused by the malign presence of some akua or demon, entering into the sufferer. He does this either to gratify his own malice, or that of some enemy of the victim, who has procured his services through the medium of a sorcerer, whose familiar the demon is. In order to relieve the sufferer two ways are possible. One is to propitiate the demon by gifts and sacrifices, through his friend the sorcerer, who however, is apt to be implacable. The other is to secure the services of some greater sorcerer, with a more powerful demon who shall drive out the first. All this is attended withthe heaviest expense and dreadful incantations and heathen performances. The newly licensed kahunas of 1861 were active, and plied their arts industriously, to their own gain, and the impoverishment of their dupes. one became at once an active propagator of the old paganism. Some established classes for the instruction of the young in the half forgotten lore of aumakuas and other forms of demigod powers, and how to invoke and propitiate them. A considerable number of fetishes and idols were set up in a rather private way, many of them in connexion with the gross and filthy lutlahulas, which Kamehameha Y. was especially active in reviving. Previous to 1861,the aforesaid heathen practices were not extinct, but latent among the people. The tremendous spiritual uplifting of 1837 3!) had given Christian faith a grand supremacy for a whole generation. Since 1801,with the growth and reinstatement of heathen sorcery and hulas, there has been a gradual decline of spiritual activity among the Hawaiian people, and this in the presence of an ever increasing intelligence and external civilization. It has been apparent, since 1880, that more or less systematic effort has been increasing in high quarters to promote the tendency to reinstate old heathen For the practices and superstitions. past two years these efforts have assumed very definite and decided form. The late corrupt Legislature of 1886 organized a "Hawaiian Board of Health," really a Board of heathen sorcery. In connection with this was shortly after incorporated the Hale-nau-a Society, a grand secret society with wide ramifications, designed to entangle and embrace the whole Hawaiian people in the toils of pagan practices. Many of the formalities practised in the latter Society are reported to have been of an unspeakable nature, but characteristic of the usual bestiality of paganism. "Children of NuMIiKR 7. the air and the light," indeed! Sad victims rather were the old Hawaiians of a baneful tyranny of demon-gods, dark and foul! The late revivals of pagan worship have afforded an opportunity to learn the true nature thereof, and gain a knowledge probably not otherwise to have been obtained. While these things contain great peril to the Hawaiian people, and portend serious injnry to their Christian life, we believe that there are very strong and hopeful elements of good, which we trust will prevail against the increasing evil. These elements of good, however, need active and diligent reinforcement. It is a time for wise and earnest measures to preserve and maintain the life of the Hawaiian Churches that it do not succumb to the strange fascination of the old hereditary Power of Darkness from which this people was once emancipated. It is long since any one has left Honolulu carrying with them so many regrets, and leaving so many grateful memories of their residence with us as Mrs. Van Slyke, who, as Mrs. Hanford, has for so many years conducted the musical department at Punahou. Her rich and sympathetic voice will be greatly missed in our choirs and on musical occasions. Few teachers have thoroughly won so many pupil's hearts, or created so much progress in the work in hand. We would follow Professor and Mrs. Van Slyke with most cordial wishes for their welfare. Honolulu is again favored with the lectures of Mrs. Florence Williams on Literature and History. When here last year Mrs. Williams imparted a great impulse to many minds in the study of these topics. We are glad to know that many more are now finding a high satisfaction in the rarely able and interesting lectures of this eminent teacher. Our brother Rev. A. O. Forbes was California by news of the death from heart disease, in Jacksonville, Florida, June 15th, of his brother Col. Wm. J. F'orbes, born at Kona, Hawaii. Col.

In our individual ser- Mr. Logan had often sought in vain to them all too well. But progress has been made, good has been done. Is there no call from Christ upon His people now to be separated unto His service as Abraham was ? Must not the Israel of God beware of yielding to Canaanitish pleasure-loving worldlings? Can it he said of you. as it should be said of every follower of Christ, " The love of Christ constraineth us?" No reluctant, no resistant soul knows the full intent and blessedness of the Christian life. Does the branch ever regretfully think how it is held fast to the vine ? Or does it ever reluctantly reach out from the vine to clasp with its loving tendrils, or to cover with its foliage and fruitage the trellis on which it has been placed? When I hear people talk of what Christians are expected to be and to do, as if this was putting clogs and fetters on the liberal mind and the free spirit, I can only mourn that they know so little or know nothing of that which Paul says he had apprehended in Christ, lor which, too, he had been apprehended of Christ, a life like Christ's possible to every believer, a life in Christ offered to every believer, a life for Christ expected of every believer, a life with Christ the crowning blessedness to every believer. Christian truths and Christian duties clogs and fetters to the soul! Nay; nay! It is faith in Christ that makes us partakers of Hie Divine life. Faith gives our souls the eagle's eye, undazzled by the unclouded sun, the eagle's wing, untiring on its untrodden way. It is perhaps an infelicitous phraseology in our English Bibles that speaks of the constraining love of Christ. There is nothing narrowing and restricting in it, brothers and sisters in Christ. You will testily, as Paul does in a more correct rendering of His thought, "The love of Christ has me and holds me to one all comprehensive object of human life, as the sun holds and swings this earth of ours in its mighty orbit, its never ending course through the stellar spaces." Likeness to Christ, union with Chirst, was Paul's avowed and all absorbing object in life. In what do we resemble Jesus most, in what is our fellowship with Him most complete, if not in the work of the world's redemption ? Shall we, can we, keep back any power we have, or can exert, to reclaim the wandering, or open to benighted souls the door of heaven, with its glory, its blessedness, its holiness ? CJuestons of method, questions of vice, whatever that may be, we need such self-forgetfulness that we shall evermore, live not unto ourselves, but unto Him who died for us. We need abounding hopefulness in the service that His love may appoint us to undertake for Him. Whatever obstacles there may be, whatever discouragements, we must remember that it is the Lord's work, We arc doing, not our own, and in due season that work must have its resultant triumph. .

Get into the inner life of these Hawaiian*, know- them in their homes, share in their labors and their trials, in Christ's own spiiit of uplifting helpfulness, and you will be thankful that for them, as for you, there is a Gospel ol Grace with its words of comfort and hope, its promises of cheer and light. Xo less thankful will you be that for them, too, there, are the commands and duties of the Christian life, however irksome, wearisome or distasteful they may seem to some, (iet some knowledge, if you want to form correct estimates ol heathenism, of the unspeakable vilenesses, the wanton cruelties, the debasing superstitions of the heathenism that is still rampant and riotous in this Hawaiian Kingdom. Granted that in these Islands, as in other Pacific groups—the Gilbert, the Marshall, the Caroline such qualities as affection for one's offspring, devotion to one's friends, may gleam as resplendently as in other hinds ; these are not evidences ol Christian enlightenment, but rather, like the phosphorescence of decaying vegetation, evidences of degeneration from the normal growth and development. See the stolid face, the furtive eye, the brutalized appearance of these Pacific Ocean islanders as the missionary of the Cross first sees them.

Shall Jesus' love for the world he of less account to us than the loving ministry of an humble follower ol Jesus was to those' poor heathen? If we have any love for the Divine Redeemer, who laid down his life for us, shall we not be willing to give all we have, and all we are, in like loving ministration for those for whom Christ died ?

Choral and other pieces of music were interspersed, led by Miss Dressier, and showing a fine and successful training of the whole school. At noon, the company adjourned to the manual work deparment. There Mr. Terry exhibited the exercises in carpentry practised during the year, showing wonderful expertness in the use of hammer, saw, plane, chisel and bit, also in the sharpening of tools, and the tiling of saws. Samples of mitring and dovetailing showed a high degree of skill. A large exhibit was also presented of hand sewing and stitching by the boys, under the direction of the lady teachers. Many of the samples would have done credit to the classes of a girl's school. The button-holes were particularly good. In another room was the printing office, where a number of boys were engaged in setting type with much facility, under Mr. Oleson's direction. A variety of tasteful work was shown, executed on a very fine Peerless jobbing press. The class is exercised regularly in newspaper composition. Nearly all the work above named, except the sewing, brings no pecuniary or other return, except in the development of manual skill and aptitude. On Thursday evening, June 22d, an exhibition was held in the Gymnasium Hall, which was very largely attended by members of the Legislature, the clergy, by teachers, leading citizens and naval officers, and by members of the Royal family, notably the Priness Liliuokalani, who manifests a deep interest in all educational matters. The programme consisted of recitations, singing, reading of the school paper, and writing and drawing exercises on the blackboards. In many of these was a large admixture of the humorous element. The singing was excellent. The whole closed with a tine exhibition of calisthenics. A majority of the scholars began the year having enjoyed but little instruction in English. Mr. Oleson had, however, the advantage of a number of older boys who had some practice in the use of the language, and who exerted the usual beneficial effect of veterans in breaking in the new recruits to jabber away in the difficult tongue. With these forty odd to lead, the breaking in of the next installment of pupils will be easier, while every successive year will facilitate the acquisition of English. Several large and elegant wooden buildings have been erected since the school opened last autumn, in preparation for doubling the number of scholars the coming year. A very large edifice courses of stone already in place for the new Bishop Museum in a central position in the grounds. The stone is handsomely dressed from the rough clinker rocks that encumber the grounds. A large quarry near the eastern entrance is in full activity. Amply endowed, with an able board of trustees, an accomplished principal, and a wise system of policy, the Kamehameha Boy's School has entered upon a career of the highest promise of usefulness to native youth. The education given will be an eminently Christian one. It will be one of highly civilizing culture, such as few Hawaiians have hitherto enjoyed. It will will also be an education in those manual aptitudes especially needed by Hawaiians to enable them to enter the ranks of skilled labor, instead of aiming at professional life, for which they seldom have the needed capacity. Such education must go far to counteract the various disabilities which the untrained Flawaiian has for holding his place in the presence of trained and civilized races. Without disparaging the work hitherto done by Protestant, Anglican and Catholic Training Schools, which has been great and effective, we feel that a far higher order of training is now secured, and consequently a brighter prospect for the coming generation of Hawaiian young men. OAHU COLLEGE. Arthur M. Brown followed with a vigorous oration on " Socialism," marked by good articulation ana manly inflection. Lillian E. Lyman concluded the exercises with the Valedictory, preceded by an essay on " Lear's Daughters as Types of Character." The farewells were spoken with sweetness and dignity. President Merritt then bestowed upon the class their diplomas, with an address of affectionate commendation and sympathy, noting especially the fact that this class began the course at his own inception of office in the college. It was a gratification to trustees and patrons to see that the Class of '88 well sustained the high character of Oahu College in past years. We were interested to notice that six of the class were of missionary descent, two of them on the side of both parents. KAWAIAHAO FEMALE SEMINARY. A public examination of this old and excellent school was held on June 4th. The preparations for the usual exhibition in Kawaiahao Church were frustrat ed by the painful illness and death of Miss Morley in the Seminary. The classes were accordingly examined in their different recitation rooms, the large number of visitors passing from one room to another. The school had evidently more than maintained its past We congratulate the thoroughness. very able and excellent principal Miss Alexander, upon the success and prosperity of their important work. During the past two years, very large additions have been made to the block of school buildings, and the ancient and unsightly structures in front have been removed, giving place to a clean lawn and drive-way. Another large wing is in contemplation, to occupy the site of the old stone printing office still forming part of the block. Large as the additions have been, they have failed to keep up with the increase of numbers, now reaching nearly 140. The Kawaiahao Seminary is under the care of the Hawaiian Board, who appoint its trustees. The ground is the property of the A. B. C. F. M. It is supported by a charge of fifty dollars per annum to each pupil, covering board and tuition; by capitation fees of sayone thousand dollars from the Government, and by a large amount of beneficent contributions for building, furnishing and support of scholars. The sister seminary of East Maui is doing a like excellent work. These boarding and training schools for both sexes are now the chief instrumentalities for the continued elevation of the The graduating exercises of the College took place on I'riday evening June 22d in Central Union Church, which was most profusely decorated for the occasion with our sub-tropic wealth of roses, lilies, ferns and palms. Rich and sweet music was supplied by organ, piano, and the voices of the students of both sexes, aided by Mrs. Van Slyke. The voice of Levi C. Lyman was a favorite one, and the delightful "Sweet Home" of Miss Hessie Dickson on the piano. Each of the four young gentlemen and four young ladies making up the class of '88 appeared in turn upon the stage. There was a lively and humorous Salutatory by May C. Dillingham. William J. Forbes delivered a forcible and clearly argued address in favor of Prohibition. Hessie J. Dickson read a very nice "Study of Beethoven," with clear articulation and natural expression. Horace Y. Hall graphically sketched the "Career and CharacterofKamehameha." May C. Dillingham recited the Class Poem, with some of a parent's genius. Levi C. Lyman gave a clear and philosophical disquisition on the "Power of Song," which literally "took the hat"— a black silk one. Ida R. Campbell read Hawaiian people. �Volume 46, No. 7.] NORTH PACIFIC MISSION INSTITUTE. Graduating Exercises —Eleven New Preachers. Kawaiahao Church was filled last Sunday evening, by a large audience chiefly of Hawaiians, who came to listen to the graduating exercises of eleven young preachers who have completed a four years course of study in the North Pacific Mission Institute, under the care of Rev. C. M. Flyde, D.D., assisted in the work of instruction by Rev. H. 11. Parker, the pastor ofKawaiahao Church. The young men with three fellow-students under-graduates, making fourteen in all, were seated upon the large platform with their teachers and two Hawaiian pastors who had assigned parts in the exercises. The appearance and bearing of the young men was that of cultured and civilized gentlemen, in a higher degree than in any similar class we have ever seen in former years. Four speeches were made by selected members of the graduating class, of about six minutes each, of course in the native language. Their topics were theological, evidently assigned to them, and all relating to the Holy Spirit. All evinced thoughtful study, and careful statement, not devoid of practical application and sound feeling upon their important themes. As usual with Hawaiians, their delivery was vigorous and animated. To the foreigners present familiar with the language this portion of the exercises was unusually interesting and attractive, not tedious as sometimes, as the judicious principal had secured a rare brevity and conciseness. Four musical selections in Hawaiian were rendered with excellent force and feeling by the fourteen young men, supported by two of Berger's band. It is encouraging to see our young pastors beginning their work with so much musical culture. A public examination of these young men was held on the Wednesday previous, in the subjects of church history, exposition of several psalms, pastoral theology, and Christian doctrine. Thoroughness of instruction was shown, and marked progress in the school from previous years. Those familiar with the school are assured that it is steadily and strongly advancing in all respects. The men now going out are many of them already called to pastorates in native churches; it is hoped that suitable locations for all may soon be procured. The position of a Hawaiian pastor is usually humble; his support is meagre; he often becomes disheartened. He needs the encouragement and active support of white Christians in his vicinity; he should have frequent visitation and help from white missionary workers, if such there were to incite and inspirit him. But with all their drawbacks, the work of these humble native pastors is of inestimable value, both spiritually and materially, to the population of 57 THE FRIEND. these islands, keeping alive the sacred flame of spiritual life in a multitude of otherwise heathenized souls. In maintaining this important work, the N. P. M. Institution is the chief agency. Dr. Hyde has wrought therein, now for eleven years, ably patiently, and with very great success. A large class of new students is promised to take the places of those now graduating. The institution, like all others, needs frequent help, and requires some expenditure. The Hawaiian Hoard have formally approved of Dr. Hyde's present effort to raise money for the erection of new buildings to replace the old, dilapidated, and ill-adapted structures which have hitherto poorly accommodated the school. He has already secured f 1,500, and needs several times that amount. SELECTIONS. Neighbor's right, God's right. Philosophy seeks God; Religion finds him.

Even now as we enter upon our new year, one dear missionary mother, Mrs. Alexander, passes away from us, over the river to the heavenly home, where are gathered so many of the missionary hand, who have proclaimed the Gospel tidings to this Hawaiian people.

Mrs. Rogers, wife of the Captain of the ship jfosephus, gives a pleasant report of a call at Pitcairn's Island on the twenty-first of last January. There are IIS inhabitants, all named Young, Christian or McCoy. Miss Rosalind Young is writing up a history of the island. Herfather is preacher and teacher. About one year ago the people adopted the views of the Seventh-day Adventists. They have no neighbors to be troubled by a difference in sacred time. The ship was well supplied with oranges, cocoanuts, pumpkins, watermelons, sweet potatoes, eggs, fowls and flowers. Twenty-five of the people staid on board to supper, and spent the evening in singing hymns, etc. Mr. T. Shimidzu has just returned from a tour among the Japanese on Kauai. He reports live as desirous of Christian Baptism. Gambling has become a prevailing vice among some companies of these Japanese. To such an extent has this been carried, that they will have no funds at the expiration of their contracts, to return to their homes, if they pay their gambling debts. The services at Queen Emma Hall are kept up with steady interest. Rev. W. C. Harris, of the Japanese M. F. Mission, S. F., is expected on the next steamer. Miss Alice C. Little is in Honolulu, on her way to labor in the Training School for Gilbert Islanders on Kusaie. Her Class graduated June 20th, at Oberlin College. Rev. Mr. Snelling and. wife were detained in San Francisco by illness of the latter, but are expected down by the steamer due on the 6th. It is hoped that the Morning Star will sail by the middle of the month. Mr. and Mrs. Snelling are to take the place of the Logans at Ruk. To save society from ruin we must have men and women whs are not to be turned back by the "poor smell," but can forego their dainity fastidiousness. �July,1888 THE FRIEND. 60 A. THEHONOLULU, T.

WORLD'S CONVENTION. The Eleventh Convention of Young Men's Christian Associations of all lands will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, August 15-19. Mr. C. M. Cooke, Chairman of our Finance Committee, has been appointed a delegate to represent this Association for the first time at a World's Convention. He sailed by the Zealandia, June 30th, for San Francisco. He will then proceed to New York, where he will join the American delegation, for whom special excursion arrangements have been made, they to leave New York by the City of Berlin July 21st. Mr. Cooke will be accompanied by his brother, Mr. A. F. Cooke, and they expect to be absent about three months. The last World's Convention was held in Berlin in 1884. There were 297 delegates present, 46 of whom were from America. Honolulu affords a rare opportunity for Christian workers to engage in foreign missionary work right at our own doors. This was illustrated in a striking manner on a recent Sunday morning at the Immigration Depot; when something over a thousand Japanese men and women, stood for nearly an hour, eager to catch the earnest words of Rev. Mr. Miyama and others, who spoke to them of the "way of life," from a moral and spiritual standpoint. JAPANESE Y. M. C. A. The many friends whom Prof, and Mrs. Sydney Dickinson made when here last year were glad to welcome them again last month. Prof. Dickinson was en route to the Colonies, but stopped long enough to give us two finely illustrated lectures on European scenery and art, that drew large and appreciative audiences. At the close of the lectures several Hawaiian views that had been specially prepared to illustrate a lecture on the Islands, were thrown upon the canvas. They were quite unique and elicited enthusiastic applause. AT THE "HUB." At the Thirty-seventh Anniversary of the Young Men's Christian Association of Boston, His Excellency Governor Ames honored the occasion by his presence as one of the speakers. The General Secretary in his report stated that 4,923 different young men had belonged to the Association during the year, of whom 903 were enrolled in 15 evening classes. In the gymnasium 1,470 young men had enjoyed healthful exercise and recreation, this being the highest attained during its history. Situations had been furnished to 420 applicants for work. The average daily attendance at the main building and the Tremont St. branch was estimated to be about 800. The current expenses were $28,732.47 for the year which closed with a balance of $55.06 in the treasury. The Boston Association was first organized in the United States, and has always ranked among ihn first in practical, efficient work for the salvation of young men. Massachusetts and Rhode Island have associated together in their State work, and now have in the two States sixtyfour Young Men's Christian Associations, including two railroads and eight college associations, with 19,906 members, of whom 967 are college students. The regular monthly meeting of this Association was held at Cjueen Emma Hall Saturday evening, June 2nd. Essays were read in English by M. Fujita on "The advantages of foreign travel," and THE HAWAIIAN BLUE RIBBON by M. Nakumi on "Sincerity indispensiLEAGUE. ble to friendship."

They will meet September Ist for the election of officers and to plan for the work of the new year. It was difficult to obtain quiet for the speech making that followed, but the Stentorian lungs of Mr. W. B. Keanu of Wailuku finally secured the attention of all the audience, except the small boys who Were too intent after Horn's buns to listen to even a temperance speech. Hon. H. S. Townsend followed in English, his remarks being interpreted by Hon. H. Waterhouse. Mr. T. G. Gribble then held the attention of the listeners in a crisp speech interpreted by Hon. A. F. Judd. Revs. S. L. Desha and E. S. Timoteo, always favorites with a Hawaiian audience, closed the speech making and the procession was formed by the committee who, distinguished by large rosettes, acted as marshals. Led by the band and the blue banner of silk, the procession—consisting first of Sunday school children, next of women, then of boys and lastly of men, all four deep, at least -MIO persons marched out of the gate. The line of march was down Nuuanu street to King, then up King to Fort street, and up Fort to Beretania, thus passing the majority of the liquor saloons, whose destructive work ruining the Hawaiians it is the object of this Society to suppress. On reaching Queen Emma Hall again the band played some time longer, and the people gradually scattered homeward. The Blue Ribbon League among the Hawaiians is conducted by a committee of the Y. M. C. A. of Honolulu, who hire these very convenient and commodious premises in the interests of the Hawaiians and Japanese. The few foreign visitors at the celebration last Saturday felt much encouraged at the zeal of Hawaiians inthe temperance cause and at the impulse forward given to it by this festival.—Daily Bulletin. — TOPICS.

There was a vast congregation piescut at the dedication services of Kaumakapili (.'lunch. Princesses Poomaikelani and Kaiulani, also Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, Rev. and Mrs. 11. Bingham, Mrs. Judge McCully, Mrs. Dr. Hyde, Mrs. B. I-'. Dillingham, with other representatives of the foreign churches, were found amongst the great concourse formed by Kawaiahao congregation uniting for the nonce with that of Kaumakapili. As anticipated, the services were very impressive, thirteen native pastors being on the platform, while seven native and foreign clergymen officiated in the exercises. Rev. C. M. Hyde, D. (>.. offered the opening prayer; Rev. 11. 11. Parker, pastor of Kawaiahao, the dedication prayer: while Revs. A. Pali. J. 11. Mahoe and S.

Led by the great new organ, lately imported from England, manipulated with his usual skill by Mr. Wray Taylor, the service of praise, as may be supposed by ail who know what Hawaiian singing is, was magnificent. The offerings of the occasion amounted to the laTge sum oi S.s'JD. Rev. Dr. Smith read tile following historical sketch with a force and fervor that were astonishing, considering his treat age and the fact that, only a few months ago, he nut wiili a severe accidi i: VI MAX M'll I. During the annual meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, in Honolulu. June. 1837, Rev. Lowell Smith and wife were requested to commence a new station at Kaumakapili nei. The native grass houses were very numerous at that time: and we found it very difficult to secure a suitable lot for the mission family, and another for the school-house. In those days, the land all belonged nominally to the King and high chiefs. Most of the land in this neighborhood belonged to I'aki. one of the high chiefs. But like the centurion in the Gospel, who said to one man go. and he goeth;. and to another come, and he Cometh; so this high chief commanded two or three families to vacate, and he would furnish them houses in some other locality. In this way. a little oblong square, about one-fourth of an acre, was obtained for the mission premises: and another for the school-house yard. Our first work was to build a dwelling house and a large school-house. I think it was some time in November when we were ready to commence operations in this part of the town. In the good providence of God, this was just at the commencement of the great celebrated revival, which continued three years (more or less); and when chiefs and people, all over the islands, were easily persuaded to meet often for prayer and praise to Almighty (rod, and lo Listen to the reading and preaching oi the Gospel, For the want of a suitable house of worship, we used to meet in the school-house on the Sabbath, and for early morning prayer meetings. But we soon found that the school-house did not accommodate one-halfofthe Sabbath congregation; and we built a large lanai in the front yard, and covered ii with rushes to keep off the sun. and strewed the ground with grass and rushes forthe people to sit down upon, a la Hawaii. My pulpit was the door sill, with half of my congregation in the house and half outside. I was then in the prime of life, and, with the aid ol the Holy Spirit, I found ii very easy to preach line upon line, and precept upon precept, and thus feed the sheep and lambs with the bread and watei of life. On tiie first day of April. 1838, Rev. H. Bingham, assisted me in organizing a church under the lanai of the school bouse; twenty-two persons were received by It Iter from the Kawaiahao Church, two from Ewa, and one from Kauai, and forty-nine were received on profession of their faith in Christ, This was immencement of the Kaumakapili Church lift}' years ago. Soon alter the organ i lation of the church, we resolved to arise and build a large adobe meeting house: the walls to be :; feet thick, 125 feel long and HO feet wide inside. To have eight large doors for ingress and egress, and sixteen large windows for light and ventilation. Our fust iil.in was to build it twenty feet high, with a gallery on each side. But when the walls were up fourteen or fifteen feet high, the adobes began to crush about the doors and windows: and it was then obvious that it would not be sale to put a heavy rool upon a We then tWO-Story adobe building. decided to raise the walls only twelve feet, dispense with the galleries, ceil the audience room overhead with lath and plaster; plaster the walls inside and out. build a verandah seven feet wide all around the house, and when thus finished, the audience room and its spacious verandah would accommodate 2,600 persons who could hear the preacher. We were one year and four months in building that house of worship; and it was dedicated on the twenty-ninth day of August, IBS* ( HI years ago). For its acoustic properties, that audience room was admired by all preachers, orators, and concert singers. A good, clear, conversational voice could be heard distinctly through the room, and also by those who stood around the doors and windows. For thirty years I was the officiating clergyman and pastor of the Kaumakapili Church and congregation, and administered the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper to more than .'i.oiio persons. Subsequently to my resignation in 1868. on account of asthma and deafness, three other clergymen we re called and installed in the following order: First, Rev. A.(). Forbes from Molokai. who served two or three years, and then accepted a call to go to Lahaina I una. X'ext, Rev. G. W. Pilipo at Kailua, Hawaii, came and served two or three years, till dismissed by the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. The next person called was Rev. M. Kuaea, pastor of the church at Lahaina, who was very popular among us for several years. He took a gieat interest in collecting funds for this new house of worship. And i! was during bis in cumbency and at his command that the old bouse was loin down in 1881, and the foundation of this new house of worship was commenced. But before the walls were finished he was afflicted with softening of the brain, and unable to attend to his pastoral duties. :md died on the sth of May, 1884, some lour sears ago. Yes, the old house, and most of the peopll who helped build ii, have passed away. Another generation are now on the tage, who have built this large two story brick house, with two splendid steeples ; and have furnished it with a chime bells and a large, splendid organ, and have filled the audience room with nice and convenient chairs. And we have assembled this morn in;. to dedicate this house to the worship ol the living God. And as long as these walls shall stand, may this house be none other than the house ol (iod and the gate of heaven for all who may choose to meet here and worship within its walls. /'. C. Advertiser.

The regular biennial session of the Legislative Assembly was opened in due form by the King last Tuesday. Organization was promptly completed, and business actively pushed by notice of thirty Bills given on the same day, Hon. S. G. Wilder was unanimously reelected President. This indicates the careful and conservative character ot the body. It is very many years since any session of former legislatures could be expected without grave apprehension of mischievous and destructive action. Such expectation was fully realized in the last legislature, notably in the Opium law, the Kahuna law, the Loan law, and the Man-of-war law. Now we have a governing body which in a high degree represents the most intelligent and prudent people of the Islands. We may expect from them only beneficent legislation, and such modifications of existing arrangements as will conserve and establish the public welfare. We wish to emphasize the fact that the present Legislature is not only an honest and patriotic one, but in a high degree, a conservative one. We use the term in its best sense as meaning aversion to rash and ill-considered changes, but not to sound and wholesome progress. It means the establishment and maintenance ofthe safeguards of society, and increased protection against corrupting and destroying agencies—not the conservation of old abuses. The constituency of the present House guarantees its sound conservatism. One half of the Assembly, the Nobles, were chosen by a select constituency of all citizens enjoying six hundred dollars of income, composed chiefly ofthe skilled artizans, and well-to-do farmers and graziers as well as tradesmen —men accustomed to prudent and practical activity. The other half representing the total citizenship, were elected by constituencies who generally voted independently, and certainly without official intimidation or royal gin to pervert their votes. As a result the half-parasite, half-demagogue class of members which predominated in late Legislatures have been mostly weeded out, and the sound, conservative, experienced men are again to the fore. Many persons who are strangers to the country, and many residing abroad who feel interest in this little nation, fall into the error of thinking of our Reform Party as the Radical one, whereas the contrary is the obvious fact. The Reform Party is soundly Conservative. It was the old Palace party which was gisyen to reckless change and wild scheming. Witness the Moreno escapade— ten million loan projects—opium factory schemes—national bank monopoly—Pacific empire visions—constant sudden changes of ministers—seven years Premiership of a broken down adventurer. This crazy management had nearly ruined the Kingdom, so that the solid conservatism of the country was compelled to seize the reigns of power which it holds, we trust firmly and permanently. We do not here feel called upon to advocate any particular measures proposed. This Assembly doubtless has important measures to consider. It has the important task, one requiring the greatest wisdom and firmness, of doing whatever is needful to consolidate and perfect constitutional and liberal government, and to render any farther attempt at a crazy autocracy impossible. In accordance with the Constitution, the Legislative Assembly is the chief depositary of power. It controls the Cabinet, the executive branch. To this body there is due the chief practical loyalty 45 NUMBKR 6. and the moral support of all good citizens. They are men—they are liable to errors of aim and errors of judgment—they need wisdom. Not doubting then to mingle our prayers with all our honest and clean political activity, let good and religious men also earnestly implore for this honored body the help and guidance of the Divine Wisdom in their arduous and important work. MISS F. G. MORLEY. The Kawaiahao Girls' School has sustained a heavy loss in the death of their very capable and very lovely music teacher, Miss F. G. Morley, who died after a brief illness May 13th. Her home was in Baraboo, Wisconsin. She was a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. No teacher was more beloved by her pupils. Under her instruction the school had made remarkable progress in" music. This was manifest at the funeral services in Kawaiahao Church, when their united voices, more than a hundred, rendered a chant and two hymns with unusual power and sweetness, a rich echo from the voice of their dear and departed teacher. The loss of Miss Morley is deeply felt by the noble sisterhood of teachers, thus broken, and by the neighbors and friends of the school, among whom she was much beloved. Do not think that I mean to teach that religion is, as Matthew Arnold says, morality imbued with emotion; that Christian experience is simply a moral life lifted up a little. Christianity is a divine life. If there be anything in the Scripture taught more plainly than another, it is that there is no true life separated from God, and no way in which man can truly live, except in contact and communion and fellowship with God. —Lyman Abbott. A Christian should not be peculiar in oddities or pharisaical pretensions, but peculiar in having a distinct likeness to his Lord. He ought to be peculiar in unselfish kindness to his neighbors; peculiar in hating wrong and opposing popular sins ; peculiarly square, truthful, honest, and conscientious in the things that are least. He should never leave his neighbors to doubt which side he is on in moral questions, and he should never be "to be had." �46 THE FRIEND. [June, 1888 He returned from army life to Ohio. Wisconsin.

ANCIENT SYSTEM OF LAND TENURE IN POLYNESIA. Read before the Honolulu S.vial Science Association, March 12. 1888, by Hon. W. 1). Alexander. TONGA. On passing from the three other western groups to Tonga, we find a remarkable and striking change in political institutions, in land tenure, in social customs. In a word, we are politically, though not geographically, in eastern Polynesia. We find no organized village communities or clans, holding lands in common, but a fully developed feudal system, and a strong centralized government. The patriarchal head of the clan has become a landlord, and the clansmen, bound to their chief by the tie of blood relationship, have become his tenants and subjects. From Rev. L. Fison we learn that the nation was divided into four main tribes, two of which were further subdivided into sub-tribes. As in the Hervey Group, and in the Society Islands, the people were divided into three classes or ranks, viz.: ist, chiefs or " Eiki;" 2nd, the middle class or gentry, 'including the '• Matahules" who are heads of villages, hereditary artisans, &c, and their relatives called "Muas," and 3d, the " Tr/ds," or serfs, comprising the mass of the common people, who had no political rights. The lowest of these were the "Bobulas" or slaves, who had been reduced to this condition by war. The highest chief by birth was called "Tui Tonga," he was considered a sacred person, directly descended from a god, and received almost divine honors, but had no political power. The actual king was styled "Tui Kanokubolu" (from the name of a district), and was �[June, 1888 THE FRIEND. 48 elected by the chiefs from the "Hau," or Hale's theory is a very probable one, surpassing anything of the kind elsethe families of the blood royal.

As the Constitution of 1840 expresses it, "the land belonged to the chiefs and people in common, of whom Kamehameha I was the head, and had the management of landed property." We have seen that the Maories of New Zealand occupy one extremity of the series, leading from Tribal tenure to feudalism, and the Hawaiians the other. Now, if the process of " Feudalization" of Europe, presents one of the most difficult problems of legal history, so does that of Polynesia. The difference in the respective results is probably owing to the difference between the European and the Polynesian Family systems. For all our Anglo-Saxon liberty and progress are founded upon the idea of the inviolable sanctity ofthe Home. An ounce of cheerfulness is worth a pound of sadness to serve God with. A godly old negro woman was asked, "Aunty, how did you go to Christ?" The answer was, "Why, bless your soul, honey, I no sooner said to myself that I'd go right to him, than I was thnr." One hundred and twenty years ago, LinmßUl knew of only three thousand species of insects. Now, two hundred and fifty thousand species are contained in the collections ofthe world. A little girl gave her father the most important condition of bodily well-being when, in answer to his question, "What was the minister's text?" she replied, "Keep your soul on top." It was, "I keep my body in subjection." The seventh chapter of Romans portrays the experience of life's awful conflict under the power of sin. The eighth chapter is filled with the experience of life's resplendent victory and supernal repose under the power of Christ Jesus. There are in India 124,000,000 women who are truthfully described as "unwelcomed at their birth, untaught in their childhood, enslaved in their marriage, accursed as widows, and unlamented when they die." And this with all the vaunted Light of Asia surrounding them. Revivals come down from above. While many ofthe conditions are human, God sends the victory from the habitations above. Ask him. Beseech him. Serve him. Before him lay the sacrifice, and from him expect the consuming fire. The Pope's temporal power is a thing of the past, but he still remains an extremely interesting historical figure; a figure all the more interesting because essentially an anachronism—a survival ofthe days ofthe Holy Roman Empire, of chained armor, ofthe Inquisition, and of Spanish supremacy. �50 [June, 1888 THE FRIEND.

Pease.] The reason of our contributions being smaller than usual this year, is the fact that notice was given to several of the churches that such collections would not be permitted by the German authorities, and so none were made. I have tried to rectify this matter. The German Emperor's High Commissioner will allow contributions to be made, but they "must not be excessive," should be once a year only, and the amounts given reported to him at once. You notice that we are coming under a Patenaal Government" in the Marshall's. The traders think that so much money given for our work is so much taken from them. Hence the opposition. I will now give a very brief account ofthe state ofthe work in the islands as it appears to us. We were at Namerik, Ebon, and Jaluij twice, going and returning. Key. Motu has been at Namerik during the year. Everything seems to have gone well. On our return we left Liktol in charge of the work. (Motu stays at Ebon and will have no charge. There is a question or two of veracity which he has not been able to clear up satisfactorily as yet.) Liktol graduated this year and this is his first effort. He is not a very strong man, but we hope he will do well. The church in Ebon has been under the care of Deacon Lomjinor, with the help of Lailero and others, who have taught school since Hiram went to Kusaie with us a year ago. He has got on tolerably well, although several more have been excommunicated than have been received into the church. It is always a pity to leave an island without a ministerfor a whole year or more. Hiram felt obliged to remain there, although he is hardly equal to the work. His health is improved, but not yet perfect by any means. After we left Jaluij last year the pastor there, Laniing, whose wife had just died, fell and abandoned the work. Laijarki, his helper, kept on with the school and preaching services as well as he was able.

The meetings of the Blue Ribbon League continue to draw very good audiences, and although the number of those who take the pledge on the spot is not so large as formerly, yet there is abundant proof that this work is not in vain. It is one of the agencies that helps to keep alive the public conscience; and frequently a private conscience becomes so awakened to the call of right and duty, that men come to the Association during the week to sign the pledge and don the "blue." Absolute fidelity to the principles of the League, on the part of all its members, and the honest, earnest cooperation of all believers in total abstinence in this city would soon revolutionize the town; and the same spirit working throughout the Kingdom would speedily close the open door of every saloon and drive the drink curse from these fair isles. a river of Rum, and it whirls and foams " There's With the madness of hell as it sweeps through our homes.

The lady of the house and most of the family were members of a I fashionable church, and they were determined to look well after the character of the servants. So when John Chinaman appeared at the door he was asked, "Do you drink whisky?" "No," said he, " I Clistian man." "Do you play cards?" "No, I Clistian man." He was employed and gave great satisfaction. He did his work well, was honest, upright, correct and respectful. After some weeks the lady gave a "progressive euchre" party, and had wines at the table. John Chinaman was called upon to serve the party, and did so with grace and accep-» tability. But next morning he waited on the lady and said, he wished to quit work. "Why, what is the matter?" she inquired. John answered, "I Clistian An American clergyman observes that there are three parties in his congregation—a mission party, an anti-mission party, and an omission party, The San Francisco Association are looking about for an available site for a new building, which their large and growing work seems to demand. At Pasadena the corner-stone of the Young Men's Christian Association building was laid April 18th. The building and grounds are valued at $60,000. The relation of the saloon and the jail is happily illustrated in Pasadena; which is a prosperous prohibition city, without a single saloon their jail is advertised for rent. The Young Men's Christian Association at Riverside, Cal., were presented with a lot, by Mr. Miller a hotel-keeper, and on April 16th, laid the corner-stone for a $20,000 building. Horace Greely once said to me, "Bryant and Longfellow have written noble verses, but the great American poet is John Greenleaf Whittier."

The work that is being carried on at the Queen Emma Hall in the interest of the Hawaiians and Japanese is exceedingly encouraging, especially the latter. The Blue Ribbon movement is gaining adherents every week, and the converts to total abstinence among the natives prove to be quite as firm and true to the pledge as their foreign brothers, and I think much better workers. The gospel work meets a less enthusiastic response, but the weekly seed-sowing must result eventually in some garnered sheaves. The Japanese are remarkably receptive and manifest a lively interest in all that is being done for their improvement. This, together with their thirst for Christian knowledge, makes the work in their behalf a very pleasant and hopeful service. vocate. GOSPEL SERVICE. The Gospel Praise Service held in the Association hall every Sunday evening at half-past six o'clock, is free to everybody, but is intended especially for young men. If those who attend at present, would make a special effort to invite one or more of their acquaintances, the attendance and interest would be largely increased. The following are the topics for the month of June: June 3—Bound by Satan—Released by Christ. Luke 13:10-17. June 10—No Compromise. Acts 4:13-20. June 17—Work and Wages for Every One. John 4:35-36. 1 Cor. 3:7-9. June 24—Convicted but not Converted. Mark 6:17-20. Ezek. 33:31-32. A wonderful escape occured in connection with the railway catastrophe at Hugstten, Germany. The train ran off the rails during a terrific storm, and was smashed to pieces. One carrage only, the eighth, was preserved intact. In that carriage were 23 members of the Young Men's Christian Association of Colmar, who were returning from Friburg, where they had been attending a Conference of the Young Men's Christian Association Union. Thej'were singing hymns when the accident tookplace, and whilst the.carriages before and behind were shattered, the one in which they sat gently glided off the rails, and not one of its occupants was hurt. We cannot explain this singular fact, but we recall the inspired words: "He shal] give his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways." Special provj. denceis not a fiction.—Association New s. �THE FRIEND. DR. BECKWITH ON THE SABBATH. Central Union Church have enjoyed sermons from the Pastor upon Sabbath observance. We print the closing passages. After urging the need of a day for spiritual culture, gospel appeal, and special heavenward effort, the preacher concludes: And so, by all this world's danger of perishing in its sin, it needs this sacred two earnest day to summon it back to a sense of its peril, and set it toward God and heaven. More than men need it for rest, they need it for the saving oftheir souls. And when I say this, I do not forget how tired men are, bending under life's burdens all the weary week. I know how the back aches under the tiresome toil, driving the plough, or shoving the plane, or swinging the sledge, or sweltering at the furnace, from week's end to week's end, year in and year out. I know all about that. I have done it myself many a weary year. And if I know how like a bit of heaven the Sabbath rest comes in to give surcease of toil to tried and troubled men. And I have infinite sympathy with my weary brother who just wants to lie in his hammock under the palms all this blessed day, and let the sweet sea-winds soothe him to rest. And I did not know how wearier than this weary body is the sin-burdened soul, and how more than the fevered brow and brain need the cool breath of the ocean-breeze to fan them into calm, the fevered soul sin-stricken needs the very breath of heaven to save it from the weariness of the unending woe—if I did not know all that, I would say, swing on, my tired brother, in your hammock under the palms, all this blessed day; swing on, and sleep, and rest." But when I know that men are weary and heavy laden with sin, and in peril of losing the everlasting rest, then I say, make it a day of holy rest, my brother; a day of the sweet peace of converse with Cod; not swinging idly in slumber, but sitting joyfully at the feet of Jesus ; not a day of festive outing among the mountains or by the sea. Good as those things are in their place, and much as you may long for a change from the dust of the town, and the grime of the shop, and the grind of the gruesome toil, and innocently as you might make the day go by among the festive throng, if you had no God to worship, nor any soul to save; .vet, because God waits for your homage upon his holy day, and because you need rest of soul more than rest of bone and sinew. I entreat you to hold by the commandment, and remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Give it to worship. Give it to the culture and the saving of your soul. Give it to your household and to the house of God. It will rest you more than a day of mirth. It will rest you more than a day of slumber, for it will rest, you body and soul. It will bring peace to the weary spirit. It will give you new heart and hope for the daily toil; and to all it will speaking thine own words: then shall add the joy of the good hope through thou delight thyself in the Lord; and I will make thee to ride upon the high grace ofthe life everlasting. Now, friends, I know what you are places ofthe earth; and I will feed thee waiting for.

To have .sprung from a Judson or a Logan will be counted a greater honor than to trace back to a Grant or a Sherman. " On them that were in darkness bath risen a great Light; and to them that were in the region and shadow of death the Light hath shined." What* is so good as to impart good to others ? And of all the good, the light, the help, the healing that earth contains, what can we find so great, so uplifting, so rejoicing, as to make men know and love and trust to the glorious Lord Jesus Christ! To know Him is life now, and it is life eternal. Honolulu Christians have great calls made upon them for Christian work, and heavy demands on their beneficence. We are none the poorer, but richer for it. And we need and welcome such incitement and inspiration as the return of the Star brings to us. Very much of that sort is the present number of the Friend. Four extra pages are added for Y. M. C. A. annual exercises and reports. Of the rest, the greater space 1s filled with matter growing out of the return of the Mottling Star.

MISSIONARY LIFE OF REV. R. W. LOGAN. The old pioneer native teacher Moses stood by the bier of h s departed leader, saying " U'e never shall get one like Mr. Logan." Captain Narrhun, the friendly trader, said: "If the Hoard want the work carried on that Mr. Logan was doing, t'ney must send four men out to do it." There is no doubt that our departed brother had grown to a great power in his large field ; that he had developed an immense capacity tor work, and that he was laboring with wonderful enthusiasm and effectiveness, and with a most thorough and happy const cration. To the unspeakable loss and detriment of that infant and prosperous work, death has cut short his labors—death undoubtedly resulting from overwork, under the pressure of imperative demands, while unsjpplied with the aid and reinforcement of new helpers for whom he had urgently asked. We take up Mr. Logan's record at the point of his actual entrance upon work among the heathen. Another hand will have depicted his earlier history and his characttr as exhibited up to that time. Mr. and Mrs. Logan reached Ponape, in company with the Rands, in the autumn of 1874. lor five years they learned their work in association with the veteran missionary Sturges. Mr. Logan occupied the station of Kenan during the absence of Mr. Doane, keeping up the work of the latter in the churches and schools and doing something in the training of teachers. Two of these earlier pupils of Mr. Logan's proved faithful missionaries at the Mortlocks, and one of them is still doing good service at home. Mr. Sturges, in the meantime, was initiating a glorious work of evangelization in the Mortlock group, where he planted his first teachers in the January preceding Mr. Logan's arrival. There his Ponape teachers had wonderful success in the conversion of these very simple and docile natives, who, unlike the Ponapeans, had been but little corrupted by traders. So rich and fruitful a field drew Mr. Logan to give himself to its cultivation. His first trip there was made in company with Mr. Sturges in November, 1577. His deepest interest and enthusiasm were kindled by what he witnessed. He saw their need of a leader. On his return to Ponape he at once sought and obtained the consent of his brethren that he should apply himself to acquiring the language of the Mortlocks, To this he gave two years' diligent study, with the aid of a man and his wife whom he had brought with him. In November, 1879, Mr. Doane returned and resumed his former charge in Kenan, and Mr. and : : �34 THE FRIEND. May, 1888.

A wicked trader, who wished to injure the work, offered the natives liquor to make them drunk, and when drunk, they were to come and do wicked things too bad to write. The whole scheme failed by the natives quickly spitting out the liquor, saying it burned their mouths. One can hardly imagine the abominable wickedness of these white traders.

Some particular village is known as the capital of the district, and its chief has a certain primacy among the other chiefs, and is styled "Tupu." All matters affecting the interests of the confederacy are discussed in open air meetings, or "fonos," by the chiefs and heads of families. All Samoansare said to be natural orators. The land in Samoa is held by the chiefs and heads of families for the community. The land belonging to each family is well known, and the person who for the time being holds the title of head of the family can dispose of it only "by and with the advice and consent" of all the members of the family. The adjoining lagoon and the forest are considered to belong to the village community. As Mr. E. B. Taylor remarks: "Among the Samoans may still be seen in some measure practical common property. * * * Here is a people who hear with wonder that among the white men the poor can ever be hungry and houseless." I will only add that they were a comparatively chaste people, and that from ancient times great care was taken to prevent any union between near relatives —so much so that a list of what they deemed improper marriages would almost compare with the "Table of kindred and affinity" in our Bibles. Among them rank descends by the male line, so that the son of a princess by a common man would not be a noble. FIJI. We shall find a more advanced and highly organized communal system among the Fijians. This extraordinary race of savages far surpassed the Polynesians proper in keenness of intellect, and ingenuity in the arts, and had also worked out a much more elaborate and artificial system of government. Although the people had little voice in the state, yet " the utmost respect was paid to ancient divisions of landed property, to family rank, and official rights." The recent annexation of Fiji to the British Empire has led to much discussion on the Fijian system of land tenure. For the following account of it I am chiefly indebted to an able article by the Rev. Lorimer Fison in the Journal of the Anthropological Institute, which appeared in 1881, the essential points of which are here condensed. THE KORO. The Fijian name of the village community is the Koro, which is properly an organized clan, with its fortified village, surrounded by moat and bank and palisade, and its outlying lands. The individual land owners are called Taukei. The Koro is divided into quarters, each of which is called a Matangali, and is composed of the descendants of a band of brothers or Mata-veitathini, from each of whom is descended a minor division called a Yavusa, and each �Volume 46, No. 5.] yavusa is again divided into a number of Vuvale, consisting of brothers with their families, who inhabit either the same house or adjoining houses. The common origin of the clansmen is known by the fact of their having the same god, who is called the Kalou-vu or god-an- Not all the people are land-owners. polygamy.

The exalted rank of the chief is due The land then is held by certain tribal to several causes, such as the system of owners who have a common descent. descent by males, primogeniture, and . 37 THE FRIEND. descended, the elder brother takes precedence of the younger, and the yavusa" of which he is ancestor takes precedence of the others. Hence the descendants of elder brothers are elder brothers forever, as in New Zealand. Again, every chief of high rank had a number of wives, but one of them came of a better family than the others, and her children consequently, were of higher rank. Thus we find numerous gradations of rank, from the "kaisi,"' men who are "not born at all," through the children of strangers, the commoners, and those who are noble on one side, till we arrive at the chiefs who are "so high-born as to be god-born, the pure blooded eldest son of the eldest up to the 'Kalou Vu' (or deified ancestor), who stands at the head of the line." But though the high chiefs are thus exalted above the commoners, land tenure remains untouched. " To conclude, the original tenure of land in Fiji was tribal, and though the tribal land is in many places subdivided among households and individuals, yet each owner holds for the tribe and not for himself alone. He cannot alienate the land from his tribe or disinherit his heirs. He may, it is true, give a piece of land as dowry with his daughter to a stranger, but it is really given not to the stranger but to the Taukei's daughter, or rather to the son who shall be born of her, and if she die childless, the land reverts to her kin. No man, according to the Fijian theory, is the absolute owner of the land. He has no more than a life interest in it. He may dispose of that interest if he pleases, but he can do no more. Nor is even the whole tribe the absolute owner. Each generation does but hold in trust for the next, and the tribe is under obligation to hand down the tribal estate undiminished forever. The land is, as it were strictly entailed, the heir being the posterity of the clan to all generations. It is impossible to cut off an entail such as this, for the heir can never be a consenting party. The above is the view held by most of the English missionaries in Fiji, but not the one adopted by the British Government, which has treated the chiefs as feudal lords, and thus greatly increased their power of oppressing their people. It reminds us of Lord Cornwallis' settlement of Lower Bengal, by which the Zemindars, who had been formerly mere tax collectors, were made feudal proprietors. ITo be continued. I .

Mr. Logan's death received here via San Francisco after the issue of the April number of Tin-: PftlßND.' After a long and severe illness of fever, he died on the 27th of December* 18S7, leaving a noble record of successful and devoted missionary labor, and lamented by all who knew him. Rev. Mr. Treiber and wife, who went out to Ruk only last year, remain alone at present to carry on the work to which Mr. Logan devoted his life. At Ponape, affairs are all quiet at present, and the missionaries are now allowed to carry on their work unmolested. In the Marshall Islands some hiflderances have been thrown in the way by the German occupation, but the work in general is still favorably progressing. In the Gilbert Islands there seems to have been some retrogression. Yet our Hawaiian missionaries hold on amid many discouragements. The Training School for this group, under Rev. A. C. Walkup, located on the island of Kusaie, sends forth every year more or less Gilbert Island teachers to help in the work.

Fuller, - - - ANNUAL MEETING. Editor. It was so cheering to us that we believe it can very appropriately find a place in our annual and final report. The committee have during the year made some special efforts toward the drawing in to our meetings Sunday evening a • greater attendance. Small handbills or dodgers were printed, and were distributed on eich Sunday morning for about two months, perhaps more, in the restaurants and other places cf public resort, these dodgers bearing a cordial invitation to be present at the meetings, the timeand place being very carefully stated. But a careful study of results did not showsufficiently well to authorize a continuation of tlrs work. In concluding our report the committee would express a belief that the life of our Association depends entirely upon our spirituality, and that our spirituality depends very largely upon our entering individually into the work of our Sunday evening services, maintaining it by our presence and voice, and therefore that we have reasonable hope and expectation for the future. The annual meeting for the election of officers was held in conjunction with the regular monthly meeting, April 19th, when the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: VV. W. Hall, President; J. E. Bidwell, Vice-President; R. VV. Pod more, Recording Secretary ; E. O. White, Treasurer ; T. R. Walker, Henry Waterhouse, Directors. The meeting adjourned to meet Thursday evening, April 26th, for the usual anniversary exercises. On trje above-named evening the chair was occupied by Mr. F. J. Lowrey, the retiring President, and a goodly audience were present, despite the fact of counter attractions at six different places. Respectfully submitted, The programme for the evening opened William A. Bowen, Chairman. by singing Gospel hymn No. 61, and prayer by Rev. W. C. Merritt.

Second —To induce those who came in who have not already taken the pledge, to do so, and the result of the efforts made in this direction is as follows as shown by the record book kept for that purpose One hundred and eight persons have signed the pledge, besides which several others have signed whose names d ) not appear in the books, the correct number of whom is unknown. Rev. Mr. Gowen, President of the League, has been a most faiihful worker, and it is very largely owing to his labors that interest has been kept up so well this year. While these entertainments have not reached as large a number of those for whom they were intended as was hoped, yet they have been the means of doing much good, especially among strangers and sailors of the men-of-war and merchant vessels in our port, quite a number of whom have taken the blue ribbon. Your chairman met a mechanic of superior ability a little more than a year ago en one of the island steamers, who had had some disappointment and sought to drown his sorrow by drinking. An invitation was extended to him to come to the meeting ; he came, took the pledge, and only last week a letter was received from him from one of the other islands, in which he says : " I rejoice to tell you I still hold on to the blue ribbon. It has benefited me so much that I can soon buy myself a home." Many others can no doubt give similar testimony. One important benefit gained during the past year in the temperance cause is a growth of public opinion in favor of prohibition in this city, if not throughout this group. Many of the speakers who have addressed the meetings have strongly urged this point, and there is no doubt but that their words have produced a deepened feeling in its favor. It is unquestionably true that there are more people in favor of prohibition in these islands to-day than a year ago, and this is growing continually. Let us hope that the day is near at hand when public opinion will demand laws abolishing the silc and use of liquors in this land, and may all interested in the temperance work labor to that end. Respectfully submitted, P. C. Jones, Chairman. : REPORT ON HAWAIIAN WORK. To the Officers and Members of the Young Men's Christian Association of Honolulu.

The Japanese Mutual Benefit Union has been organized, under Mrs. Ando as President, for charitable relief in cases of sickness and need, and now numbers over 1,200 members, all over the islands, with its headquarters in Queen Emma Hall. More recently, a " Rising Sun Temperance Society" has been started numbering about thirty charter members. In all these enterprises Mr. Taro Ando, the Japanese Consul, has heartily cooperated as fully as he could, consistently with the impartial discharge of his official duties, seeking in over}' practicable way to advance the interests and promote the welfare of his countrymen. On Mr. Miyama's return to San Francisco, and in accordance with arrangements made, he engaged a young Japanese, Mr. T. Shimizu, a licensed M. E. preacher, to come to the Islands to do Christian work among the Japanese under the direction of a committee of the Hawaiian Board, the expense to be defrayed from the contributions of the Central Union Church. Since his arrival (February 7th) he has occupied two of the smaller rooms in Queen Emma Hall, as his living room and reception room.. These were nicely furnished and fitted for his use by gifts from Mr. H. Waterhouse and others, through Mr. Damon. The work has so far progressed and so many of the Japanese—ten or twelve —have expressed a desire for baptism that it was in contemplation to organize a Japanese church, the better to develope and strengthen Christian life and activity. But for the present that plan is held in abeyance. Rev. Mr. Miyama, on invitation of Mr. Irwin, and through his liberality in providing the necessary funds, returned March 15 to Honolulu. He brought his wife with him, and has rented a house on Nuuanu street. They are devoting themselves to the special work they came to do, meanwhile assisting heartily and ably in the various departments of work for the Japanese carried on in Queen Emma Hall. It is a work full of interest, as the Japaneseare so quick to respond to all kindly Christian effort in their behalf. It is a work full of promise, for what is done here in Honolulu will have its blessed results of good among the 4,000 Japanese now located in various districts of the islands, and among their people in Japan. It is a work that ought to engage the prayers and sympathies of the whole Christian community, eny of whom will be heartily welcomed if ever they wish to inspect or participate in the work going on for the Japanese in Queen Emma Hall. Respectfully submitted, C. M. Hyde, Chairman. TREASURER'S REPORT. GENERAL SECRETARY'S REPORT.

Besides these we have had the regular weekly meeting of the Blue Ribbon League, which has combined a good, practical temperance talk with a fine literary and musical programme by our best local talent, thus furnishing an attractive entertainment nearly every Saturday evening of the year. Air. P. C. Jones has continued to teach a class in book-keeping every Monday evening when not absent from the city. We have received a large number of calls for employment, but have found it possible to find situations for only a small percentage of the applicants. In a few instances relief has been given to worthy young men who were strangers and in distress. There have been eleven business meetings of the Association, with an average attendance of twenty-six. The Board of Directors have had ten meetings, with an average attendance of five. Twenty new members have been received during the year, but this number of additions is counterbalanced by the loss of old members, so we have not advanced beyond the membership of one year ago, which was 196. The Y. M. C. A. Boys have had their prosperity somewhat interrupted by changes in leadership, but they are now re-organized, with Mrs. B. F. Dillingham for President, and a renewed interest is already apparent. The reading room is supplied with forty-five periodicals. This includes all our local papers that are printed in English, some of the leiding secular and religious publications of America and England, one Portuguese and two German papers. Some of these are kindly contributed byfriends. Further additions would be thankfully received. The daily attendance upon the Reading Room has ranged from fifteen to ninety, which is large for a tropical city of this size. The branch work at Queen Emma Hall, in the interest of Hawaiian and Japanese young men, as a whole, has been very encouraging and valuable, as you have learned by the reports read. The claims of this work have met with generous financial support from some of the business men not members of our Association, but who have our thanks for their welcome aid. We are conscious that our service has been very imperfect, yet desire to acknowledge the Divine goodness and help of our Heavenly Father, in what has been accomplished. And to extend our grateful thanks to the friends with whom we have associated, for their uniform courtesy and kindness ; to the Press of the city for their friendly and helpful notices; and to all LIGHTS AND SHADOWS. Ladies and Gentlemen and Fellow- members of the Y. M. C. A.: During this past Association year it has been my privilege to look upon grander scenes in nature than ever in my life before, and by them to have been led to more of a realization of the new thoughts and feelings which arc thus inspired. Among forests of giant trees standing in their majesty and defying <*jl the elements, yet among them those which in their long existence have, after years and years of strength, been overcome by that same power which brought them into being; among mountains whose bases were clothed with verdure, and whose tops were capped with snow; among the wild flowers of hill and valley, with their bright and happy faces, and among streams differing from the laughing brook as it twines in and out among the pebbles of its bed to the rushing, roaring mountain torrent as it plunges wildly over and about every obstruction and finally leaps over the precipice before it. In the wonderful Valley of the Yo- semite it seemed to me I was in the very presence of God. The first bursting of the view of the whole valley upon one is a moment to be remembered, and the effect is varied, from the exclamation of surprise to the silence which can only express the feelings of others. For the variety and beauty of its waterfalls one must go a long way to find its equal. From the soft and beautiful sheet of water, swayed from side to side by. the wind, aitd ever changing its always pleasing aspect the well-named "Bridal Veil" —one turns to the grander rush of waters over the Yosemite or stands beside the roaring Nevada, and is unable to say which impresses him the most deeply or whether in the light music of the one or the deep organ tones of the others is the most perfect harmony. On the banks of the lovely Mirror Lake you may stand and see reflected at once in all the exactness of the originals three of the high mountain peaks about it and the rising sun as it appears over the crest, showing in the water like a huge electric light. Wonderful and enchanting as were the many scenes connected with my short visit, none could equal those obtained from the grand Glacier Point. I stood there, with a sheer descent before me of 3,500 feet, at noon, and saw the Vernal and Nevada Falls in the distance, with lovely rainbows across them. Later in the afternoon I saw them one mass of rainbow colors from top to bot- — nearly full moon, as it shone through the brisk, cold air, bathe the Yosemite Fall with its radiance until it looked like a great white specter. After a brief rest, once more I sought the Point, and now all below me was nearly dark, and where I was it was only beginning to get light. Before and beneath were the two arms of the valley; behind was Sentinel Dome, and across, ranging for about two-thirds of the whole horizon, were the peaks of the Sierra Nevadas, many of them snow-capped, the one directly in front the majestic Half Dome. And here, exercising to counteract the extremely low temperature, I watched the dawn and break of day. Very gradually the various objects assumed definite shape and new features presented themselves ; the crowing of cocks and lowing of kine came up from the valley ; more distant peaks could be discerned, and soon the sheen from the clear surface of Mirror Lake could be seen amid the dark trees which surround it. But these are only suggestions of what was to follow. The sky was cloudless, and soon one of the snow-tipped points far away glistened and gleamed as it caught the first ray of the sun and reflected it towards me; and now another and another catch it until they stand out like spires reaching toward heaven. Lingering but a short time about these elevated peaks, the rays soon reach the lesser points between, and soon it is a study to watch the various aspects of light and shadow. One moment and a point is in the shade of a more pretentious neighbor, the next, and it has caught the eye of the sun, and is in like manner shading one behind and a trifle below. Now the direction of the rays apparently change as they begin to strike into the valley and, from my position, over seven thousand feet in elevation, and half that distance above the floor of the valley, yet still in the shadow of the wonderful South Dome opposite, yet towering fifteen hundred feetabove me, I watched with exceeding interest the bars of light, and shadow as they extended from the tops of the mountains into the depths of the valley; as they shifted and changed, the light continually gaining new points until the orb of day appeared majestically over the top of the Dome, and, having surmounted the last obstacle, bathed the whole valley below with the light of another day; and having seen the changes from death to life, as it were, with a full heart I withdrew. Standing amid such scenes, one can but be impressed with the beauty of nature; but it must be a cold heart which does not turn from these to the Power which created them and rules over all. The'same harmony and com- �44 pleteness which we see and delight in, in some grand view, we may find just as complete in the smallest object about us. Not only are we impressed with those things, but with the fact of our belonging ourselves to this same creation. And while we have the joy and delight of feeling that we may intelligently walk or climb about among these scenes, yet how small and insignificant our bodies seem when compared to the magnitude of these mountain peaks, or the forces which we see beside us in these foaming waters. It seemed a beautiful illustration in nature to me, as I witnessed this dawn and break of day, of the condition of the world as it was at one time, all in darkness, and then the coming of the light of the Gospel, first faint and indistinct seeming afar off, then gradually getting nearer, illuminating a mind here and there which stood far above its neighbors, its rays caught and reflected from one to another, until the full break of that day, when this light is over all but the most secluded places, and when nearly every one may enter into and enjoy its benefits, unless he from his own choice prefer to remain in the darkness. We are supposed to be in this light. Are we reflecting it beyond and about us to those who have not yet felt its influence? Or are we absorbing all of the light which strikes us and casting a shadow over them ? Look in any direction about us, and 'do we not see these same rays of light and shadow? Amid the supposed brightness and freedom from care which many seem to think there is in the possession of large amounts of this world's goods, do we not often see the deep shadows of unhappy lives ? On the other hand, where poverty appears to be darkening the very existence, yet the light of love overcoming all! The child in its innocent play finds that not all is as he would have it, and fleeting as they may be, the shadows will occasionally darken his usually bright horizon. The man of business finds not all times alike, but that some come which try and test him severely. The shadow of death falls and for a time darkens even the happiest of homes. The mother finds much joy in watching and guiding the unfolding of the young minds about her, but some pass through the experience of finding one which does not respond to their efforts. Those who labor especially in bringing the Gospel before men for their acceptance, whether it be among those who are their peers in intelligence and learning, or among the minds yet darkened by heathenism, must find great pleasure in witnessing this light accepted by some, yet great sorrow in seeing that it reflects no answering rays from others. The bursting of the light of freedom upon a multitude of slaves was accom- THE FRIEND. panied by how many, many shadows of suffering? And even the progress of Christianity has been marked by scenes dark and terrible. Yet, while looking in whicheverway we may, and finding these shades about us, do they not only intensify the brightness; and are they not the exception, while the rule is light and love ? It seems to me that this is a beautiful world, and, in enjoying it, that we should not forget to be thankful for it, and that we should from time to time consider the relation in which we each stand to it, and feel the responsibilities which our privileges impose upon us. This is a personal matter to and for each, jet the same is true for us as an association. We -re organized for a purpose, and appear before the community in this role. Are we doing our duty, and meeting the expectations of those interested in our work ? There are shades about us, and hearts of the class for which we labor, in darkness. Is there a light shining from here which penetrates this gloom ? If we succeed in interesting any, and, through this association and its appliances, draw any from paths of idleness or vice, it is well; but forget not that our aim is not reached unless these are brought under such influence of Christian knowledge and example as shall lead them to receive the light of the Gospel of Christ, and accept the salvation which is through Him. We are engaged as an Association in a special work, and doing our small part in what is a grand whole. When we were discussing plans for this building, and whether or not it should combine a gymnasium with its other appliances, a prominent gentleman remarked, in effect, that while the members of any Christian association might be a fine lot of men intellectually and morally, it was not a class from which, or in which, you expected to see any muscular development or power. That those who were strong spiritually were weak physically. For a most emphatic refutation of such an idea, one should see the General Secretaries of the United States in conference. In attending one of these sessions, I was most strongly impressed with the idea of being in the presence of one of the most powerful set of men, physically and spiritually, that I had ever seen. Their absorbed interest in the questions before them, their capacity for accomplishing work, and their consecration was remarkable. The work of these Associations is looked upon in that country as one of great power, and productive of much and lasting good. Remembering that we are part of this union of Associations can we not, at the close of this year, make new resolutions, and determine that this next year shall be one of devoted service, and if so, memorable in the history of this Association as accomplishing the objects for which we strive. May, 1888J Shadows may at times be about us, but does not the fact of their presence show that there is a powerful light above and behind that which casts the shadow ? Let us faithfully labor to obtain and reflect what light we can, knowing that if we are faithful we shall at last come into the fullness of light which there is in the presence of Him who says,"I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light oflife." REMARKS OF NEW PRESIDENT. In undertaking the duties of this office, 1 regret that my time and energies are already taxed so heavily in other directions chat I will not be able to give to this important work the thought and care it should have, but I shall do the best I can. The success of the Y. M. C. A. work, and the amount of good that will be accomplished, will not depend on the efforts alone of the officers, or the members of the Association, but on the united efforts of all, working under the leadership of our blessed Master. The work to be done by our Association seems to increase year by year, so we should renew our exertions and not allow the interest to flag in any way. I trust that each of the Committees appointed to attend to the different departments of the work, will plan wisely and carry out their plans in a way to bring the best results in reaching the young men of Honolulu. Let us go forward with the prayer and hope that God will bless our Association in the future as He has in the past, and even more abundantly. I take pleasure in announcing the following Standing Committees, as appointed by the Board of Directors for the coming year: Devotional Work—J. B. Atherton, Cairman ; W. A. Bowei), S. E. Bishop, J.

It is to be hoped that this will be done before our next regular monthly meeting, so that a report of progress can be had from each Committee. After the concluding hymn the audience were invited to remain for a social hour, and indulge in an ample supply of ice cream and cake. This met with hearty approval, and appropriately closed the exercises of the evening and the work of the year. . TOPICS. The Y. M. C. A. Gospel Service is held every Sunday evening at 6:30, and the topics for the month will be as follows: May 6—Help for every Temptation. Cor. 10:11-13. May 13—Following Christ involves Self-Denial.

The Temperance Movement, or the Conflict between Man and Alcohol. By Hon. Henry W. Blair, U. S. Senator from New Hampshire. This work, which has just been issued by the William E. Smythe Publishing House of Boston, is pronounced by Miss Willard the "best temperance encyclq-" paedia and picture gallery we have had." The book of 550 pages, of the finest style of execution, packed full of statements and statistics of the greatest value, with fifty-seven full-page portraits of the leading temperance workers of the United States, both men and women, by such a man as Senator Blair, who has for many years stood as the representative legislator on this great question, demands a fuller notice than can be given it now. Of the twentyfive chapters thirteen are devoted to the scientific and economic aspects of the subject, comprising such subjects as "A Study of Alcohol," "Effects of Alcohol upon the Soul and Body," "Alcohol Not a Food," "Scientific Investigations," "Alcohol in Medicine," "Alcohol is Pauperism and Crime," etc. In the last-named chapter are given some facts which certain "anti-prohibitionists" in our own midst would do well to ponder. For example: The fifth annual report of the Board of State Charities for Massachusetts makes the following statement: "Overseers of the poor variously estimate the proportion of crime and pauperism attributable to the vice of intemperance, from one-third in some localities to nine-tenths in others." The Inspector of the Massachusetts State Prison in 1868 says that "About four-fifths of the number committed the crimes for which they were sentenced either directly or indirectly by the use of intoxicating drinks."

Personally, it is painful to us to see well-known neighbors of good social relations in serious difficulties. From what we have learned of the case, there appear to be palliating circumstances, which if the facts charged become established, may entitle the defendants to lenient dealing. We earnestly hope that such may prove to be the case. These mitigating circumstances, however, seem to grow out of the abnormally corrupt and debauched state of affairs subsisting under the late government, which made irregular and unlawful methods in dealing with the government, the easy and almost the natural way of proceeding. The evidence presented at the (preliminary examination is said to disclose much of that well known state of things, not ill-suggested in the couplet. • Oh.

It may often be expedient to let such escape re compense for their wrong action. Mercy and forbearance are particularly in place after severe political revulsions, although indiscriminate amnesty is an evil. An assurance that full penalty was to be exacted for all past abuses, would animate considerable numbersof men to desperate opposition to Reform. There seems reason to believe that the reactionary efforts of last December were largely owing to such apprehensions being excited. It is also certain that in any case, only a few of the offenders Some of the worst can be reached. and the highest ones will escape with no other penalty than lessened power and prestige. YVhat is chiefly important, however, in such prosecutions, is the full and precise exposure they produce of the facts as to gross abuses and frauds, such as took place under the late government, and which are among the things which the Reform movement is striving toremedy.

Any freeman might who receive royal patents for the same. r viz.: : Sir Charles Dilke, in his "Greater Britain," gives a graphic description of the scenes attending the purchase of the so-called " Manawatu block " of land by the Government in 1867. The negotiations for it had lasted three years, and at last the Maori and the Pakeha had agreed upon the price, viz., $125,000; but the difficult question that remained to be settled was how the money should be shared between the thrie rival tribes. One tribe had owned the land from the earliest times; another had conquered some miles of it; a third had had one of its chiefs cooked and eaten on the ground. It required the greatest tact and management to prevent a bloody war. At length a great council, or "runanga," was held, with fervid displays of barbaric eloquence and poetry. On the third day an agreement was arrived at, and the deed was signed by many hundred Maoris—both men and women. The payment of the money was celebrated the next day by a bloodcurdling war dance, executed by 400 warriors, and a grand barbecue. By this course the British Government has plainly recognized the tribal nature of the native land titles, and it has instituted a "Native Land Court" to adjudicate such claims. < To he continued, t RELIGION AND MORALITY. ByRev. Thos. L. Gulick. The kingdom of God cometh not with observation. The Pharisees demanded of Christ, when that kingdom He answered: "The ahould come. kingdom of God is in the midst of you." It had come already and they knew it not. Christ's uplifting work is done so unostentatiously that men of the world, from Judean Pharisees to modern philosophers will often doubt or deny the source of it. Lowell, an interMr. Percival esting philosophical writer, says in the Atlantic Monthly of last December: "So far as its practice, certainly, is concerned, if not its preaching, morality has no more intimate connection with religion than it has with art or politics." He then goes on seriously to prove his assertion by reference to the matter of truthfulness and honesty. Finding that the devotees of Mahometanism, Buddhism and Jesuitism, as well as many other religionists who have changed the truth of God into a lie, are far from truthful, he comes to the conclusion that religion has nothing to do with practical honesty. Searching profoundly to find the real cause of the greater honesty of our western civilization as compared with that of the orientals, he professes to find the explanation in two causes: "The one is the development of physical science; the other the extension of trade." [Atlantic Monthly, December, 1887, page 840.] It hardly seems credible that such a statement could have been made by an intelligent �28 man and published in a respectalle journal in this nineteenth century. Let us look at one or two facts in the light of this remarkable philo- literary sophical discovery. Wltcn the Hawaiian Islands were first made known to the civilized world, the natives were found to be one of the most dishonest and thievish of races. Though they were, at first, on good terms with Captain Cook's vessels, they were said to \n as thievish as monkeys, and would steal whatever they could lay hands on. What was their conduct after the religion of Christ began to take hold of them? At Kaluaaha, Molokai, and at Waialua, Oahu, where we lived many years among a purely Hawaiian population, we seldom locked our doors and we very seldom had anything stolen. According to our philosopher this marvelous change must have been owing to "the development of physical science and the extension of trade." In the winter of 1873 my wife and I rode from Hilo to the volcano of Kilauea, a distance of thirty miles, by a bridlepath through the woods and the wilderness. Many miles from any human habitation 1 lost my pocket knife in the grass. A week later a native man who had never seen me, came to Hilo inquiring who had lately been to the Learning that I had, he volcano. sought me out and give me my knil'j. I was surprised at such a scrupulous honesty, but I must confess I was not philosophical enough to think to inquire whether my new acquaintance was deeply versed in physical scien:e, o; whether he was a great trader. I was" innocent enough to take it for granted that the religion of Christ had something to do with it. When the Moravian missionaries went to the lisquimaux of Greenland they found them a remarkably thievish They were converted to people. Christianity and now are one of the most honest races known. Travelers tell us that families will leave their homes for many months and instead of fastening their houses, they leave them unlocked for the express purpose that they may be used by entire strangers whom they had never seen and never expect to see. Not only do they leave their houses open for the entertainment of strangers, but they also leave their most valuable property, their household utensils and their implements for hunting, where they can be easily found and used. This confidence, we are told, is seldom The strangers come, and abused. occupy the house as though invited guests. On their departure, if the house has been injured, if any article has been worn out or lost, if a spear or a sled has been broken, it is carefully mended, or replaced by a new one better than the old. The house and all its appointments are left as clean, and in every respect as good condition, as it was found. And so the strangers depart leaving their [April, 1888. THE FRIEND. prayers and blessing for the christian friends whose very names they may not have heard. Christianity, of course, has nothing to do with this change of character, for has not Mr. Lowell informed us that "morality has no more connection with religion than it has with art and politics?" Honesty is the result of two causes, "the development of physical science and the extension of trade." Now, in sober earnest, what more significant evidence could we have than this assertion of Mr. Lowell's, that even a philosopher sometimes funis it very difficult or very disagreeable to speak the plain truth? Is it knowledge or physical science, or acquaintance with trade, or something more important which is lacking? This attempt to steal the fruits of Christianity and attribute them to schools, to governments, to inventions, to philosophy, to science or to trade, is nothing new in skeptical literature. It is ;ts common as it is weak, and as ludicrous as it is dishonest. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit. Mr. Robert Ingersoll writes in the North American Review in reply to Dr. Field: " Let me say to you again- and let me say it and once for till that morality has nothing to do with religion." And yet this very man would probably act about as the two sailors are said to have done when they were shipwrecked on what they had known to be a cannibal island. As they were cautiously crawling along the beach, one of them suddenly jumped up and shouted: "We're all right, Jack! There's a church!" And they both walked boldly forward. There is an old book that some philosophers consider antiquated, which says,"the natural man receiveth not the the tilings ofthe spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot know them, for they are spiritually discerned." The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. We have no need lo be surprised at the persistent " oppositions of science falsely so called." When the apostle warns men not to lie to one another, perhaps our philosopher would remind us that he was "preaching," not practicing. Mr. Harrison and some of the otherrationalistic philosophers have lately been raising the question, " is religion of any use. or can we do as well without it?" The idea is almost as grotesque as the story ofthe woman who said, "we owe avast obligation to the moon, which affords light on dark nights, whereas we are under no such debt to the sun, who always shines by day when there is always plenty of light." PRAYER NOT UNPHILOSOPHICAL. The devout, believing soul, who is experienced in the grace of God, seldom feels troubled by philosophical argu ments against prayer. It is not uninteresting, however, to see how freely and candidly the chief argument of this sort is brushed aside by Prof. Huxley him self, the eminent biologist and Agnostic. It may be remembered how several years ago Prof. Huxley challenged the Bishops to a " prayer test." " The supposition that there is any inconsistency between the acceptance of the constancy of natural order and a belief in the efficiency of prayer is the more unaccountable as it is obviously contradicted by antilogies furnished by everyday experience. The belief in the efficiency of prayerdepends upon the as sumption that there is somebody, somewhere, who is strong enough to deal with the earth and its contents as men deal with the tilings and events which they are strong enough to modify or control; and who is capable of being moved by appeals such as men make to one another. This belief does not even involve theism; for our earth is an insignificant particle ofthe solar system, while the solar system is hardly worth speaking of in relation to the All; and for anything that can be proved to the contrary, there may be beings endowed with full power over our system, yet practically as insignificant as ourselves in relation to the uniCertainly, I do not lack faith verse in the constancy of natural order. Hut I am not less convinced that if I were to ask the Bishop of Manchester to do me a kindness which lay within his power, he would do it. And I am unable to see that his action on my request involves any violation of the order of Nature. On the contrary, as I have not the honor to know the Bishop personally, my action would be based upon my faith in that 'law of Nature,' or generalization from experience, which tells me that, as a rule, the men who occupy the bishop's position are kindly and courteous. How is the case altered if my request is preferred to some imaginary superior being, or to the Most High being, who, by the supposition, is able to arrest disease, or to make the sun stand still in the heavens, just as easily as I can stop my watch, or make it indicate any hour that pleases me?" The above language of Prof. Huxley accords with a view long ago expressed in a sermon of our own, viz That even if the Supreme Being thought it unbecoming himself to modify the action of natural forces, he might not unfitly commission his powerful angels to do so. The point is this, that there is no more law in God or one Do the truth you know, and you shall violation of natural of his angels producing rain or giving a learn the .truth you need to know. : �Volume 46, No. 4.] THE FRIEND. fair wind in answer to prayer than in a human being " lending a hand " at request. How much plainer is this in the spiritual uplifting antl guidance which we ask for. The last sentences of the above quoted paragraph impressively suggest our Lord's words, "If ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven, give good gifts to them that ask him."

Dr. Beckwith is preaching a series of discourses upon the evidences ofthe Divine origin of the books of the Bible. His presentation of the subject is a very powerful one. Rev. T. Y. Moore, ofthe Presbyterian Church of Helena, Montana, has been visiting Kilauca and Ila'.eakala. Mr. Moore led the prayer of the meeting sweetly and powerfully at Central Union Church hist Wednesday evening. He soon leaves on the Planter. A very interesting reception was given at (jueen Emma Hall Saturday evening, March 24th, to Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Miyama, by their Japanese friends and others. Mr. Miyama expects to spend several months in Evangelical labor among his countrymen in these islands. Rev. T. Dwight Hunt is publishing in the Pacific a series of " Reminiscences of Pioneer Missionary Life in California." Mr. Hunt spent some years as a missionary in these Islands. On the discovery of gold he hastened to San FYancisco. He was the first Protestant minister on the ground, and labored for several years with zeal and great acceptance its Pastor of the First Congregational Church. During an absence of Father Damon, Mr. Hunt filled the editorial chair of the Friend. This was more than forty years ago. Rev. J. Q. Adams, of the Westminster Church, San Francisco, preached« in the Central Union Church on the evening of March 25th, from the text, "Thereshall be no night there"—no night of toil, of ignorance, nor of sin, well lifting our thoughts up into "heavenly places." Mr. Adams has made himself a very welcome guest among the Christian people of these islands. His impressive, but cheerful voice has often been heard in our assemblies, ministering to us of many good treasures ofthe gospel. Mr. and Mrs. Adams have sailed for San Francisco on the shipAlexander McNeil. Mr. Adams has been very successful in his quest of rest and recuperated nerves. 29 In more than three-fourths of our territory containing far more than threefourths of our population the grog-shop is practically unknown, so that an entire generation has grown up there never having seen one. In proportion to population, Maine's share of the national drink-bill would be now about thirteen million dollars, but one million will more than cover the cost of all the liquor smuggled into the state and sold in violation of law. We save annually more than twelve million dollars directly, and an equal sum indirectly as the result of prohibition, which, but for the Maine Law would be spent, lost and wasted in drink. In those .lays, Maine was said to be the poorest state in tin: Union, but now she is one of the most prosperous. Signs of unthrift and poverty were set;n everywhere in neglected, shabby houses, barns, farms, school houses, meetinghouses; but now such indications of the saloon and the drink habit are seen nowhere. John Blight said: "If the evils coming to the community from intemperance could be put aw.iv, England could not be recognized as the same country." Precisely that has happened to Maine. Some time since a stranger sat by my side in a railway car on our way to Boston. He knew me and said : I am a native of Maine.

Jesus' disciples came to him for the constitution of the church, for the organization of a hierarchy. Time the church had government marked out, its lordships appointed. " Who is greatest," they demand of him, "in the kingdom of God ? " We may easily imagine the contest. Peter claims precedence because he has first confessed Christ, and James because he is the Lord's brother, and John because he is a son of thunder, and Judas Iscaiiot because he is lord high treasurer and carries the bag. But Christ puts all these claims aside, and says in effect, In my Kingdom there is no other law of precedence and authority than this, He who serves most is chief and highest.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions, ami the Editor, appointed tiy the Board is responsible forits contents. A. O. Forbes, - - - Editor. The Morning Star may be considered due now at any time on her return from her annual voyage to Micronesia. Although a careful general plan of her voyage is made out every year before she starts from Honolulu, yet there is always an element of uncertainty which renders it difficult to say within a month just when she is due. This uncertainty arises from various causes, the chief of which are the length of her voyage, and the nature of the work she has to do. A merchant vessel has a definite route from port to port; a whaler has a season whose limits are quite well defined, and, in either case, the contingencies which may change or lengthen the voyage are comparatively few. But with the Morning Star the case is different. The contingencies of her voyage are so numerous, and the work she has to do is <nr such a multifarious nature that the most puzzling work of the General Secretary of the Hawaiian Board each year is to make out the general plan of the voyage and the corresponding letter of instructions to the captain. She is provisioned and fitted out for a ten months voyage, but her actual work among the mission stations in Micronesia occupies from eight to nine months; the rest ofthe time being mostly taken up in going to the field and returning. She plies back and forth among five different groups of islands in Micronesia, visiting twenty-six separate mission stations besides exploring new islands from time to time, landing supplies of various kinds for the missionaries, taking them from island to island in their tours of visitation, or for their general convocations, and carrying the scholars of the Mission Training Schools back and forth to their homes or to the schools. This is no small matter, as there are now four Training Schools and two Girl's Boarding Schools established in that broad field. Her track in this work zigzags back and forth, and frequently doubles on itself through a field of about six hundred miles broad, north and south, by about eighteen hundred miles long, east and west. In such a voyage and such a work many contingencies are apt to arise which cannot be foreseen and and which materially alter the plan and duration of the voyage; such for instance as serious illness or loss of health of some of the missionaries, or breaking out of war on some of the islands. Our last date from Capt. Garland showed that the vessel was only three weeks behind her usual time, owing to an unusual series of protracted calms, and to the trouble with the Spanish on Ponapc, which had caused her to make an extra visit to that island to.ieeifthc missionaries needed further aid. She had at that time accomplished nearly half of her work, and unless some special delay should happen during the remainder of her voyage, she would therefore be now due at this port on her reIf, however, unusual turn voyage. calms or other causes of delay should arise, she may not arrive till the latter part of April or the early part of May. 31 where a Gilbert Island teacher alone is stationed. Here an unfavorable state of things was found to exist. Tern Binoka, the somewhat celebrated King of Apemama, had shown himself decidedly hostile to Christianity, and being an absolute despot, those who stood firm against heathenish orgies and practices were in fear for their lives.

A TESTIMONY TO AMERICAN MISSIONARIES. Letter from the American Minister to China, SII.II klefurj. Kvans\ illc. Indian:.. Legation of lo General United States, Peking, March 20, 1886. Dear General:—I wrote you some time since about the missionaries. Since then I have gone through some-of the missions here, and will go through all. Believe nobody when he sneers at them. The man is simply not posted on the work. With your enthusiastic religious nature, you can realize the view that the believing Christian takes of the divine side of the question. I, unfortunately more worldly, look at it as the ancient Roman would have done, who said, " I am a man, and nothing that is human is indifferent to me." I saw a quiet, cheerful woman teaching forty or more Chinese girls; she teaches in Chinese the ordinary branches of common school education. Beneath the shadow of the "forbidden city" I heard these girls sing the Psalms of David and " Home, Sweet Home." I saw a male teacher teaching forty or more boys the translation of the arithmetic used at home; these boys did examples for me at the blackboard. I saw their little Chinese dormitories, where they slept on kangs; their plain, but neat, refectory; their kitchen, with its great piles of lice. I saw their chapel; I visited the dispensaries, complete and perfect as any apothecary shop at home; then the consultation rooms, their wards for patients, coming, without money or price, to be treated by the finest medical and surgical talent in the world. Think of it! Is there a more perfect charity in the world ? The details of all the system were explained to me. There are two of these medical missionaries here who receive no pay whatever. The practice of the law is magnificent; but who can rival the devotedness of these men to humanity? I have seen missionaries go hence a hundred miles into districts where there is not a white person of any nationality, and they do it as cooly as you went into battle at Shiloh. And these men have lemarkable learning, intelligence, and courage. It is, perhaps, a fault that they court nobody, make no effort to attract attention, fight no selfish battle. I made the advances that have secured their warm and cordial personal affection. My personal magnetism, if I have any, came into play. I gave them a "Thanksgiving" dinner; I had the Missionary Society meet at the Legation, and gave them, as is usual, tea. I invited them to visit me, and discuss quesrions of interest to Americans, particularly, lately—the threatened reprisals at Canton, which called forth some energetic action on the part of the Legation and Admiral Davis. It is idle for any man to decry the missionaries or their work. I care not about statistics, about how many souls they save, and what each soul costs per annum. The Catholics alone have 1,200,000 Chinese church members. How -Tiany the Protestant denominations have I do not know. I taught school myself for more than two years in Alabama. The men or the women who put in from eight o'clock to four in teaching Chinese children, on a salary that barely enables one to live, are heroes or heroines, as truly as Grant or Sheridan, Nelson or Farragut —and all this in a country where a handful of Americans is surrounded by 300,000,000 Asiatics, liable at any moment to break out into mobs and outrages—particularly in view of the tremendous crimes committed against their race at home. I am not particularly pro-missionary; these men and women are simply American citizens to me as Minister; but, as a man, I cannot but admire and respect them. I can tell the real from the false. These men and women are honest, pious, sincere, industrious, and trained for their work by the most arduous study. Outside of any religious question, and even if Confucianism or Buddhism, are more divine than Christianity, and better for the human race which no American believes—these people are doing a great work in civilizing, educating and taking care of helpless thousands. They are the forerunners of Western methods and Western morality. They are preparing the way for whitewinged commerce and material progress, which are knocking so loudly at the gate ofthe Chinese wall. At our missionary meetings at home you may quote these sentiments as coming from me. I fancy that I hear your burning eloquence, arguing much better than I have done, a cause which, outside the religious denominations, has no advocates. I do not address myself to the churches, but as a man of the world, talking to sinners like himself. I say that it is difficult to say too much good of missionary work in China, from even the standpoint of the skeptic. Should your people send me any sum whatever, and however small, to be given to any denomination, I will faithfully see that it is transmitted. Yours very truly, (Col.) Charles Denby. — The same writer, in a letter to Dr. Ellinwood, Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, says I have made it my business to visit every mission in the open ports of China. This inspection has satisfied me that the missionaries deserve all possible respect, encouragement and consideration. I find no fault with them Civilization except excessive zeal. owes them a vast debt. All over China they have schools, colleges, and hospitals. They are the early, and only translators, interpreters and writers of Chinese. To them we owe our die- " : tionaries, histories'and translations of Chinese works. They have scattered the Bible broadcast, and have prepared many school-books in Chinese. Commerce and civilization follow where these unselfish pioneers have blazed tRe way. Leaving all religious questions out of consideration, humanity must honor a class which, for no pay, or very inadequate pay, devotes itself to charity and philanthropy. The early Greek tragedies move on the same lines as the book of Job, but are full of fate, and end in bare endurance. Job is full of freedom, and ends in trust. What a figure is Moses ! Dwarfing all other men in the majesty of his achievements. What breadth of character; what vicissitudes in his life; how romantic—a waif on the waters of the Nile in its beginning, buried by angels at'its end. Take David—a man who covers a broader reach of qualities than any other found in all history ; a continental character, embracing in himself whole zones of morality, mountains and plains, green pastures and stagnant fens, still waters and rushing torrents, and joining all into beauty as they spread under the light of heaven. Not only at his birth did Christ sub- mit to swaddling-bands. Ever since his resurrection he has been in the world as it were in swathing-bands. He has been in his body the church, and the church has been a very infirm body; sometimes crazed with the fever of fanaticism ; sometimes drunken with the strong drink of worldliness; sometimes comatose with the stupor of spiritual lethargy. Follow Jesus. Where? To Gethsemane? Yes; and into the mount of Transfiguration. Follow him in deeds of love; follow him into the temple with the whip of cords to drive out evil from the house of God. Love, comfort the little children, and condemn the hypocrites whose deceitfulness delays the salvation of the world. Hate evil strongly enough to expose and condemn it, if you would follow the Son of the living God. The health and wealth of the highest are bound up with the lowest. Sir Robert Peel gave his daughter a superb riding habit on her eighteenth birthday, and proudly rode by her side in the park She came home, as she wore it. sickened with malignant typhus, and after a few days died. The poor seamstress who wrought the rich embroidery of that garment lived in a wretched attic, in the London slums. Her husband was dying of the worst form of typhus, and when his chill came she spread the riding habit over him. So the deadly germs were carried from the slums to the palace.

Tm: leading event of local interest for the month has been the decision given by the Supreme Court upon the question of the independent right of the King to exercise the veto power, without the " advice and consent of the "Cabinet." This right was denied by the Legislature, and several bills vetoed by the King contrary to the advice of the Cabinet, were promulgated as laws. Resistance was made to the enforcement of one such law; on appeal to the Supreme Court, four Justices united in a decision that the King's veto was a valid one, and the vetoed bill no law. Justice Dole rendered a dissenting opinion. This decision of the Court is doubtless final in the matter. It has, however, been received by the public with extreme dissatisfaction, and we think it correct to say that the weight of legal opinion in Honolulu, by a large preponderance, is adverse to that of the Bench. The positions advanced by Mr. Dole have been much applauded, and those of the majority of the Court severely criticised in private, as well as in the dailypapers. It is noticeable that the rejoinders in support of the decision have been few, and thus far feeble, being confined mainly to assertion of the finality thereof. NUMBKR 3. the Constitution which sets forth the least a matter of serious doubt. And if veto power of the King are such as to so, ought not the doubt to have by all forbid or not the applying thereto of the means gone in favor of the right of the limitation made in the 78th article Legislature and the People, and adverse which says that "Wherever by this Con- to Royal Prerogative and irresponsible stitution any act is to be done or per- legislation ?

They hold that in the nature of the Such construction accords with the spirit case, to "approve" must be his private and intent of the whole Constitution personal act, and cannot possibly be which the adverse construction of the subject to consent of the Cabinet.

We have nodoubt that such will be the result here. %The support lent by the Court may possibly serve to incite the King to further exercise of the Veto. If so, it will only be the means of creating a mischievous and useless discord between himself and the Legislature which, like the British Parliament, is now the actual if not the nominal depositary of the supreme power. In any such contest, the utter weakness of the King will be speedily exposed. We do not at all expect that he will make any attempt of ihe kind. He is tired of the hopeless contention, and we think is sure to yield to sound advisers. In any case, there is nothing of which we may all be more thoroughly assured than this, that such is the public virtue. the enlightenment, the intelligent leadership, the patriotic will, which by the Divine goodness exist and prevail in our Islands, that the cause of liberal, responsible and honest government will -;o forward and prosper, despite all adverse influences. DR.MEREDITH ON DENOMINATIONALISM. Dr. R. R. Meredith of Brooklyn began his address to the Congregational Club by saying, that the fact that churchmen of every denomination were able to find in the New Testament that their own form of church government was the Scriptural and divinely appointed one was, to him, conclusive evidence that the New Testament contained no formula of church organization, unless it were that of Episco-presby-gationism. He firmlybelieved that God had left the whole matter of church government to the sanctified common sense of men, and that that was the divinest form of church government which was best adapted to the community in which it worked. After this very liberal introduction, Dr. Meredith went on to say that different forms of church government were best adapted to work among different classes in the community, and that he believed that Christ's church, because of its denominational lines and divisions, was a grander and stronger body for carrying on the work of evangelizing the world. He believed that there were often too many denominations in frontier towns; he believed that city churches should co-operate in some of their work, but after all, he thought that uniformity and organic unity were not desirable because not natural. The high ideal of church unity was an impracticable dream. The church must adapt itself to human nature, and this it does through denominationalism. He concluded by saying that Congregationalists more than any others needed to cultivate tiently wait for time to soften prejudices the denominational spirit. and for the ever-patient Spirit of the Lord to lead us all into purer Light. In the face of the loud and frequent And our sister church in her mistaken if assertion of the wickedness of denomizeal for the Lord, exscinds us and denies nationalism, we hardly dare to declare us in Him, let us not therefore any part an approval in full of Dr. Meredith's also the schismatic spirit, and indulge position, in holding that it is better that the Church of Christ should continue to pronounce her cut off from Christ. The be divided into separate branches and dear Lord has borne with his blinded denominations. Yet we will say that and erring disciples through the Ages, this is about what we long have felt in a long and dark—and how much He still large measure to be true. It seems to has to bear from us, who think ourselves us that no one denomination can possi- so enlightened. bly represent all sides and all types of what the Spirit of Christ seeks to produce in the thoughts and the lives of believers. It is given to some to develop doctrine; to others, to search out the meaning of the Scriptures; to others to reach out more to the suffering, ignorant and poor. To some, it is given to conserve the fruits of the past; to others, to progress to newer conquests of truth for the future. The prepossessions and ineradicable prejudices of men especially need provision for their accommodation by means of varied forms of church government and ritual adapted thereto. Because I like voluntary speech best in public prayer, am I therefore to object to my neighbor's enjoyment of the liturgies and litanies which are sweet and beautiful to his spirit ? Though I enjoy order and decorousness in public worship, may not my brother be free to have a church where he may shout amen? If I demand that no priest intervene between me and my Father and Savior, am I yet to deny to my brother (whom I think mistaken) his privilege of the sacerdotal intercession and absolution? If I think that I find my Lord more as He would have me do, shall I deny that my Catholic brother is also accepted of the Lord, and shall be permitted to seek Him in the only way he has learned to follow? What seems to us the chief element of Christian Unity to be earnestly sought after, and by all means, is a cordial recognition by the different denominations of each other's valid church existence and Christian character, and a hearty and affectionate fellowship with each other in all spiritual and benevolent work for men. It is of course too much to expect this in the near future, in view of the deep and fixed prejudices existing, ass to the fundamental nature of points of doctrine and of order on which the \arious churches differ. We must pa- EXPULSION OF ANOTHER MISSIONARY. The Rev. J. Jones has been for 34 years the agent of the London Missionary Society at Mare, one of the Loyalty Islands, which are under the French Government of New Caledonia. A gunboat was sent, and Mr. Jones was taken from his desk while translating the Scriptures, and without notice or opportunity to arrange his multifarious affairs, hurried on board, and landed at the capital Noumea the next day, December 10th. He immediately proceeded to Sydney, where he filed protests and claims for losses at £2,000. It seems that the French had sometime agb located at Maro two Roman priests and one French Protestant pastor. The native Protestants refused to submit to the French pastor's jurisdiction, Mr. Jones having been officially notified that he was no longer at the head of the church at Mare). He continued, however, to labor privately, dispensing medicine, and translating the Scriptures, and doing nothing to disaffect the natives towards the French authorities. " Englishmen will hardly comprehend the spirit of bitterness and opposition to Protestant missions existing in the hearts of many Frenchmen. Connected with this animosity, there now rankle in the minds of some at Noumea, the disappointment and vexation of being deprived of the New Hebrides." We derive the above from the Australia;: Independent of Jan. 15. It is due to Frenchmen to say that their officials have dealt very kindly with our Hawaiian Protestant missionaries in the Marquesas, where there was no political complication to affect their relations. If the widow's two mites had been put on compound interest, and if she had lived to the present day she would have been a millionaire on earth. But her money has been, if we may so speak, on compound interest ever since, and she is now a millionaire in Heaven. The religions of the world have been religions of fear; but Christ says to his disciples: "Fear not; it is I." Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it. �Volume 46, No. 3.] THE FRIEND. 19 Righteousness as to receive large sup- members of Evangelical Churches of plies of His light and warmth you will America as yet give absolutely nothing At the Installation of Rev.

Chapter IV., "Volcanic Matter. What is it ?" shows that volcanic matter is identical with the universal cosmical matter, as it appears in meteorites, the sun, stars and comets (an ultra-basic lava) more or less modified by water and the earth's atmosphere. The most primitive form of the interior magma, such as wells up so copiously at Mauna Loa, is substantially the same as the stony portion of meteorites, which Norman Lockyer has just proved to be the raw material of all solar systems. This raw material, however, as Mr. Green shows, has in the earth's crust undergone a long series of changes. By a system of mineral evolution, it has passed from the forms of anhydrous, unstable and basic minerals such as our Hawaiian lavas, to the hydrous, stable and silicated forms found in granite, gneiss, serpentine, etc., minerals almost unknown here. The lesson taught in this regard by Hawaiian volcanoes is, that the ultra-basic and basaltic lavas, and volcanoes, have no necessary connection with water, whilst the trachytic eruptions in continental volcanoes are necessarily due to the long continued action of internal waters transforming the lavas from basic to Among the points made by the author acidic. This doctrine of Mr. Green's is in the eleven sections of this chapter are an exceedingly important one, and is to be especially noted the following: The enormous outpours of basalt in presented in a very interesting form.

This cumulus was blazing with electrical discharges. At its base was visible a broad stratum of smoke, highly illuminated from below. The position of this cumulus was not on Mauna Loa, but over the point of eruption at Kahuku, thirty miles from the summit, and 150 miles from the observer. The source of this immense column of aqueous vapor is believed to have been not steam from below, but from the inrush of vapor-laden air from the ocean, drawn in by the tremendous heat of several square miles of incandescent lava surface. The lava was not shot into the air in explosive columns by any steam, but welled up from the earth in rounded fountains. Both the scientific world and the Hawaiian public are to be congratulated that so experienced and able an interpreter as Mr. W. L. Green has been found for the giant and truly typical volcanoes of Hawaii. By means of exceptional opportunities for volcanic study, by wide and deep scientific culture, and by rare philosophic insight, our author, we feel thoroughly assured, has done his adopted country the honor of contributing an important and permanent addition to the world's knowledge of the internal forces and structure of the Earth. There has been of late, since Canon Isaac Taylor's glorification of Mohammeda-'sm and its missions, quite a tendene n a certain class of people who 10 love for aggressive Christianity, hf t lise the culture which the religion <h Mohammed gives in comparison ~'ith that of Christ, at least among the ruder races. But if Mohammedanism can elevate a people it ought to have done so for the people of Arabia. But Arabia is now the most inaccessible, not to say barbarous country on the earth. It is more dangerous to travel in Arabia than in Central Africa or New Guinea. Mr. Palgrave, the chief authority on Arabia, says:—"When the Koran and Mecca shall have disappeared from Arabia, then, and then only, can we seriously expect to see the Arabs assume that place in therank of civilization from which Mohammed and his book have more than any other individual cause long held them back." And again the tests of systems, and " Results are narrowness of mind, frightful corruption, or rather extinction of morality, cruel or desolating war on the frontiers; within, endless discord in all its forms, family, social and civil; convulsive fanaticism, alternating with lethargic torpor; transient vigor, followed by long and irremediable decay. Such is the general history of Mohammedan Governments and :— races." The Tower of Babel might have been finished if the builders could have held their tongues. ITEMS.

We cannot wish for God's kingdom in our own hearts without wishing for it in all hearts. "Browning,'' says Whittier, "is a great poet, but leaves too many gaps for me to fill in, and fatigues me." The absence of sentimentalism in the relations of Jesus to men is what makes his tenderness so exquisitely touching.

Two qualifications are needed for a successful editor. If he has anything to say, he must say it clearly, concisely and pointedly. If he has nothing to say he must be able to say it neatly, gracefully, and effectively. Said the old lady, bewildered by the freedom with which certain Liberals treated her articles of faith, " I don't care so much about predestination and free-will, and all them sort of things, but if they take away my total depravity I shall feel as though I hadn't any religion at all."

You have not to appeal with passionate outcries to God to send the Spirit— the — 21 Spirit has come as truly as Christ has come. Consider what knowledge you may have concerning God and things divine since the Spirit dwells in you; what power for Christian righteousness since the Spirit dwells in you; what passion of devotion to God since the Spirit dwells in you; what victories of faith, what hopes of glory, since the Spirit dwells in you. Unable to distinguish one tune from another, to Whittier, music is an unknown language—and yet what melodies his heart has sunt;! The poet discerns "in all familiar things the fancies underlying," and sings of the huskers and shoemakers, the barefoot boy, the telling of the bees, the pumpkin, and the commonest things of life. He absorbs the stories rife in his boyhood, of Quaker, witch and Indian, as the plant drinks the sunshine and dew. He is intensely American, and whatever touches his brother, black or white, he feels. His war poems have the stateliest rhythmic march and a rush of passion carrying all before it, for every drum-beat vibrated in his heart. "The Catholic Church," writes one of the most thoughtful orthodox men of Boston, "is to be let alone. Like the Jewish Temple after the resurrection of our Lord, it is allowed to stand for a while after its main work has been done, until the transfer can be made from it to evangelical Christianity. If the people are allowed to lose confidence in their Church before they get confidence in the Church of the future, they will go to in* fidelity and atheism. There must be a transition period between the old and the new, during which that which is to be done away nevertheless remains, and has its temporary office. The twentieth century will dispose of the Papacy, and then the crossing-over will begin. I rejoice in the responsiveness of the Papal Church in this country to the light of purer doctrine, and the general radiance of the nineteenth century." Are you gaining in steadiness? Many a Christian life, if such it can be called, is little more than a series of spasms. Wonderful purposes are formed, and wonderful courage ts felt, but there is no "holding on." Purposes dissipate; courage fails; plans are given up; and effort wholly or partially ceases. W/»at resolutions and pledges characterized the beginning of say this year. The Bible was to be read daily. Secret prayer was to be the habit of the life. Scores of blessed things were to be done. Have they been done? What ups and downs we have along the years! What crooked paths we make! How hard we find it to hold straight on! Cold conquers us. Heat conquers us. Passion conquers us. We tire, turn aside, compromise, haul down our flag, surrender. It is a wonderful thing to grow steady and unfaltering in our faith and zeal. Are we gaining on this line? �22 THE FRIEND. MONTHLY RECORD OF EVENTS. —Hop of Co. A., Honolulu Rifles, at their Armory.

LETTER FROM NEW HEBRIDES. Df.ar Dk. Hyde:—Now that we are again settled in a home of our own, I will write you somewhat about our doings and going* since we left your hospitable roof. Our voyage to Sydney was speedy and pleasant, the weather continuing fine most all the way. Nothing of note transpired on the passage. A warm welcome awaited us in Sydney, and three weeks appeared to pass very quickly there. On the 2nd April we sailed on our mission vessel Dayspring for this group. We visited all the stations occupied by missionaries, and were pleased and cheered to hear of progress all along the line. Our annual missionary conference was held in May on the island of Ambrim. We were very sorry to find that Mr. Murray, our missionary on that island, was insane. Fever, combined with undue depression on account ofhis wife's sudden death a year ago, had proved too much for his mind. I am glad to be able to say that, since he left the island, he has almost wholly- regained his reason. However, he is lost to our mission. This season there were three new missionaries to settle besides ourselves. In order to accomplish this work, and give us all comfortable houses, a vessel was chartered in Sydney to bring down building material and goods that our Dayspring could not fetch. The Cairndliu (the chartered vessel) was appointed to settle one of the new brethren and us in the north of the group, while the Dayspring took the other two young brethren to Mollicolla. We settled Mr. Landels on Malo, or as called in the charts St. Bartholomew's Island; and, on leaving there on the 17th of June, our vessel ran ashore and became a total wreck. All our stores and effects were saved, but in a damaged condition. The vessel filled inside of ten hours after she struck, and a number of our cases were under water for a day or tw.o. After three weeks of tent-life on Malo among the savages, the Dayspring came to our rescue. One of our boats went a three days' voyage hunting her up. From Malo we came'over here some eight or nine miles and located on this south side of the large island of Espiritu Santo. We have our home on a little isle lying close to the main land, and forming a good harbor for ships. There is quite a large village on this islet, the people thereof cultivate on the mainland. It is, so far as we can yet judge, a comparatively healthy place. We have been here now about two and a half months, and like the place and people very well. It is a wholly untried field, no teacher or missionary ever having even landed here before us. The people are quite friendly. Some of them have been away with white men for three years or so, and consequently have a little knowledge of English. There are no less than four different dialects spoken on the south side of Santo. However, we hope to get along by acquiring one of them. The language of this village is spoken in ten others, and is more or less understood by many more. I have received some benefit from Dr. Codrington'a book that you were so very kind as to give me, and I hope to gather some information from it that will help me in this tongue. The language of Mota, of which he gives such a full account, is much more closely allied to this than the Aneitvumese is. We have a beautiful situation and a comfortable home. Our hope is that the Lord may use us here for His gloryin bringing in many of these degraded cannibals. Our postal advantages are not very good here. We have not heard a word from home since we saw you, but we expect our vessel back again either this month or early in the following. The French have not made their appearance in Santo yet, and we knownothing about their proceedings elsewhere, excepting that two small militaryposts are still maintained in the group— one on Efatc and one on Mollicolla. There are five or six priests in the group, but as yet they have not made their influence felt. There is said to be one stationed on the northeast of this island, but as that is 70 or 80 miles away from us, we never hear of him at all. I am, dear Dr. Hyde, yours faithfully, Joseph Annand. Tangoa, Santo, Oct. 7, 18K7. OUR JAPANESE MISSIONARY. We have recently had the pleasure of welcoming to our shores anew Christian worker who has already, with much energy and enthusiasm, entered upon his duties. This is Mr. T. Shimidzu (a licensed exhorter of the Methodist Church), who has accepted the invitation of the Hawaiian Board of Missions to labor among the Japanese residing in Honolulu and the country districts. He is connected with the Japanese Methodist Church of San Francisco, and brings most cordial letters of recommendation from both Rev. Mr. Harris, Superintendent, anjl Rev. Mr. Mujama, Assistant Superintendent of the Mission to the Japanese in that city. The interest and enthusiasm manifested by these gentlemen and the Japanese connected with their work in San Francisco in the Christianization of the Japanese on these Islands has been very marked, and we have every reason to feel most grateful to them for their earnest efforts. It is a beautiful witness to the missionary spirit of the religion of Jesus Christ. Mr. Harris writes as follows: "The Japanese Christians here have been thinking and praying over the matter for nearly two years, resulting in a deep conviction of duty, which finally took shape in raising money to send Mr. Mujama to the Islands last Autumn. After his return they organized a local missionary society for the purpose of aiding the Christianization of the Japanese on the Hawaiian Islands and on the Pacific Coast. Since Brother Mujama's return these poor students have raised over $60 to aid in the blessed work. Brother T. Shimidzu, who goes out by this steamer and the bearer of this letter is sent by this Society. One young man who works for his living, a school boy, gave ten dollars at one time for this ob- ject." Mr. Shimid/u is now about twentyfive years old. He was born in the northern part of Japan and came when quite young to reside in Tokio. Later he entered the Naval Technical College of that city as a student, and after a course of study covering some five years graduated from this institution. A long and serious illness compelled him to desist from further studies in Japan, and ultimately led to important changes in his life. He was advised to visit the United • States, and there study ship-building. About two years ago he landed in .San Francisco. Through the earnest efforts of our friend, Rev. Mr. Mujama, he was brought under the beneficial influences of the Methodist Mission and in time became an earnest and devoted Christian. He has resided in San Francisco, supporting himself by the work of his hands and engaging as opportunity offered in earnest Christian work. When the call came from our Islands, he felt moved to accept it and we feel sure he has not come in vain. Most heartily has he been welcomed by his countrymen and is rapidly winning their confidence and esteem. We would ask for him and his important work a large interest in the prayers of all Christians. The outlook for missionary effort among the Japanese is most encouraging. It is possible that Rev. and Mrs. Mujama may come to our Islands for a visit ere long. Their coming will be hailed with delight by many. May God's richest blessing rest on the work here and also abide with the dear brethren in San Francisco, who have so generously aided F. W. D. in its happy initiation. In the Pacific, in a letter from Captain Garland, we find the following items about Ponape, not before received here: "The foreigners who had so much to do with affairs are now taking a back seat. Kehoe and Tim Curry are prisoners in the hulk. Old Christian is carried off to Manila, probably never to return. Skillings is at Mokil with his family.

Relative Number of Christians.— The number of Christians has increased century by century until now they far outnumber the adherents of any other faith. The ordinary statistics, by which Buddhists are made to outnumberChristians, are totally misleading. The difference between Quakerism and the Church of Rome is trifling as compared with the difference between sects who are all classed together as Buddhists, but who have almost nothing in common except the name and a few merely outward and material resemblances. To call all Mohammedans Christians would be very much more reasonable than to consider as adherents of one religion all who call themselves Buddhists. As this is not all, for in China, which contains most of the adherents of Buddhism, this is only one belief among many, and the same man is often Buddhist, Taouist, Confucianist, and ancestor-worshipper all in one. Taking Christians and Mohammedans together, it is probable that there are from five to six hundred millions of people who believe in one God, Creator, and Governor of the world, who has icvealed himself in Jesus Christ, while it is extremely improbable that even a third as many are agreed on any other creed.—Church Review. Very Like an Anthem.—A sailor who had been to a cathedral, and had heard some very fine music, was descanting particularly upon an anthem which gave him much pleasure. His shipmate listened for a time, and then said : "I say, Bill, what's a hanthem?" "What!" replied Bill, "do you mean to say you don't know what a hanthem is ?" " Not me." " Well, then, I'll tell yer. If I was to tell yer, 'Ere, Bill, give me that 'andspike,' that wouldn't be a hanthem. But was Ito say, Bill, Bill, Bill, give, give, give, me, give me that. Bill,' give me, give me that hand, give me that hand, handspike, spike, spike. Bill, give, give me that, that hand, handspike, hand, handspike, spike, spike, spike. Ah-men, ah-men. Billgivemethathandspike, spike. Ah-men,' why, that would be a hanthem." ' liefs is not a faith nor a system. The SELECTIONS. Rev. Hugh Pentecost tries to blend the Sin has many tools, but a lie is the Parsee, the Papist, the Puritan, the handle which fits them all. Protestant, with the deist, the atheist, Alas! this time is never the time for the rationalist. He is a nondescript, a self-denial; it is always the next time. what-is-it, a paradox. Nature dislikes Nothing succeeds like success. What hybrids. If one does appear, we call it is hit is history What is missed, is a freak, sometimes a monster. It never : mystery. The progress of humanity is hopeless, apart from the Divine regenerating power and the liberty wherewith Christ makes free. Will the world never grow tired of its fatuous attempts to demonstrate that human selfishness by natural evolution will work out universal bliss ? The flesh is not easily subdued. The carnalized mind shrink from its own purification. It rebels against what seems destruction to its joy. Despair of no sanctity. Why should you so despair—you the children of the Eternal, who have been made partakers of the Divine nature ; the inspired men and inspired women ; you who have received the Holy Ghost, although your negligence'and unbelief may have suppressed this work in you? Christianity wherever it has gone, and nowhere more so than in India, has promoted the dignity of woman, the sanctity of marriage, and the brotherhood of man. Where it has not actually converted, it has checked and controlled ; where it has not renewed, it has refined; and where it has not sanctified, it has softened and subdued. Lord Lawrence. The only thinkers of to-day that face serenely the coming floods of popular power are those who cling to the oldfashioned ideas of God and the freedom of the human soul. To them the sight of this long sought-for open sea is one of glory and not of terror. The roar of the multitudinous waters as they break upon the crumbling institutions of the past is music and not horror to their minds. For far above the surging masses shines the Sun of Righteousness, with healing in his wings. It is the threshold truth of the Kingdom of God that spirit must conquer flesh, the selfishness of the natural man be purged away in the overpowering love of God, and the lust of the flesh be swallowed up in the vast and eternal enterprises of the Holy Ghost. Those who accept the Bible as the Word of God in its entirety embrace a system which brings no intellectual shame. Take Christ's manhood, however, and deny his deity; cull out parts of his moral code, and deny his miracles; select those passages which reveal the blessedness of the holy in heaven, and reject those which declare the misery of the lost, and there is only patchwork. Why call a man a crank, when no one can turn him ? A heterogeneous hodge-podge, made up of fag-ends and fragments of all be- — • propagates, nor will Pentecost's church. You seek to produce the Millenium by change in administration or in the structure of society. You forget that the best of constitutions would prove unworkable in hell and would be quite superfluous in heaven. You cannot liberate a kingdom of bad people by a good constitution. You may well despair of an unregenerate democracy. The Sovereignty of the People is bound up with the Sovereignty of God, with the capability of the human soul to be transformed, and the readiness of the Holy Spirit to endow it with new life. What lies in the cradle sleeping there? What life looks up out of the laughing eyes? What service waits in the tiny hands? What errands in the feeble feet? And yet to most mothers, the babe counts not as the beginning of a new infinity, but only as the object of a careless, coquettish fondling. Blessed is the mother who sees more truly what birth and maternity mean; who catches some glimpse of what the cradle contains as she rocks it; and who ponders these things in her heart. Dorchester's statistics show that in 1886 the number of communicants in Protectant churches in the United States were as follows: All Methodists, 4,601,-416; all Baptists, 3,729,745; all Presbyterians, 1,431,249; Lutherans, 930,830; Congregational, 486,879; Protestant Episcopal, 415,605 smaller bodies, 579,427: total, 12,175,151. Estimating each communicant as representing two other persons in the sairje family, we find a population of 36,000,000 attached to the Protestant churches in the United States, besides 7,200,000 of Roman Catholic population. Say not we are going to the grave." You are coming nearer and nearer to a magnificent land, and a more populous city than any that the earth knows. The gr,pat majority are on the other side of the river. You are going to Mount Zion. You are going up higher—to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the general assembly of the blessed. Ages and ages they have been assembling. It is a vast company—a heavenly gathering—a great church —a church where Christ in God is the light and the joy of life. You are marching fast in that direction ; you are day by day coming nearer to the spirits of just men made perfect; to those whose inferiorities are cleansed off; to the most powerful, the truest, the sweetest, the noblest, and the best men that the earth has known; and since you are going toward all these, what a desecration it is to say that you are going toward the grave. ; " �THE FRIEND. y M.
