'These are also divided between the different nationalities. By these tables it appears that there are about 1,500 voters for Representatives, of whom one-fifth, or about 3,000, are electors of Nobles. possessing $iio ) income or $3,000 in unincumbered property. The very interesting and important fact appears, that of these 2,097 electors of Nobles not less than 1,005, or 35.51 per cent, are of Hawaiian blood. In this is a most gratifying assurance of the immense progress of the Hawaiian people in wealth and earning capacity, and in the high degree of intelligence and character which these imply. It is true that the proportion of capable Hawaiians is shown to be still much behind that of the white races. But it is wonderful and most encouraging that they are pushing up so fast towards the white level. By inspection of the tables we discover what is not shown in them—that of the whole number of Hawaiian voters 11.41 per cent, vote for nobles, while of the foreign voters 36.69 per cent, can vote for Nobles. That is, nearly onethird as large a proportion of Hawaiians are acquiring property as of the foreigners. This is certainly a very fair showing for the native people, when we con- Number 12. 95 HONOLULU. H. 1.. DECEMBER, 1889.

When passing King trades and professions, as well as in street he left the balloon, descending their home training in civilized living very slowly. Hurrying seaward with and effort. Now that the Hawaiians are being educated in manual training schools, as well as so many successful artisans among them able to instruct others, an accelerated progress in earning capacity is to be expected. Still further figuring develops an interesting fact in respect to Hawaiian voters of foreign parentage, who by the way are only 1.3 per cent, of the whole. It is commonly understood that the dc scendents of white men degenerate in warm climates. It would seem that in Hawaii they improve, for the tables show that 71.43 per cent, of them have reached the required property qualification, compared with the above given 36.64 per cent, of all foreign voters. Is this fact due to the high standard of education in our white schools and churches ? The Portuguese constitute 19.26 per cent, of the voters for Representatives, but only 4.77 per cent, of the voters for Nobles ; only 5.09 per cent, of them have the required property qualification. Most of them are entirely illiterate, and unskilled laborers. 'They will rapidly improve in condition. 'Their children will be educated, and may be expected to attain good circumstances. 'The largest ratio of Noble voters, 82.09 pe r cent., is among the British. The Americans stand next at 81.86 per cent., and Germans at OS.4G. It is evident from the above facts that the Hawaiians possess an overwhelming ascendency in the choice of representatives, as well as a most influential vote for nobles, and that foreigners can maintain an effective share in the govern ment only by wise counsel and worthy conduct. There can be little doubt, however, that a majority of those intelligent Hawaiians who are qualified to vote for Nobles will usually feel the same interest in competent government that is felt by intelligent whites, and will unite with the latter to secure it. The figures given are from the registration of two years ago. There has probably been 'no great change in the relative ratios during that time. Discarding Life-Preservers. Our city experienced a painful shock two weeks ago in seeing B daring parachute jumper suddenly swept to a watery grave. We witnessed it, like almost all the people of the town. The balloon over the town with the swent snlendidlv X I.MV. I*l J the crowd, we saw him carried past the shore and far out to sea. In a few moments more he plunged into the combing waves and disappeared at a point at least a mile outside the reef. Two boats were making for the spot, but near two miles away. Everyone said he had a life preserver, and no apprehension seemed to be felt. 'The Sydney steamer was coming in, and we hurried home to close our mail. Going down with it two hours after, a sober-looking group of men told us the daring jumper had not been found. And we soon learned the fatal fact that at the last moment he had diseariled his life-preserver as a troublesome impediment. 'There is little question that had he worn the life-preserver, Joseph Lawrence's life would have been saved. He would easily have survived until the boats had reached him. It was the impetuosity, the impatience—we would be gentle and not say the folly—of youth that sent him unequipped, unarmed, unsustaiiK-d to a certain and sudden death. A friend told us that he stood by and saw him throw aside that on which his safety depended. He felt like urgently interfering, and almost reproached himself for not having done so. The poor boy had no thought of drifting out to sea. He was certain that he should alight on land. We cannot help thinking of a young man we know who is impetuously discarding the restrictions of purity and launching out on a life of pleasure. We know another who is impatiently casting away the impediment of strict honesty while he is soaring up towards expected wealth. Another youth is recklessly despising a mother's entreaties. No apron-strings for him. Another is evading his father's experienced counsel. And so what a throng of hapless young men there is all round us in this city, rushing jubilantly—whither? Oh the graves of ruin that are fast engulfing so many of our choice and promising youth. They have thrown away their life-preservers ! Can we say or do anything to arrest their mad flight to death? "Oh, that is all right," they will cheerily reply to you, and off they go, and by-andby you hear of a drunkard's &rave, and a gambler's grave, ola suicide, and of a murder, and of shattered reputations and ruined homes, and broken hearts. And some of them or their associates will read this and befoul us for a missionary and puritanical Pharisee! �96 [December, 1889. THE FRIEND. Morning Star News. The Morning Star came into port most unexpectedly Monday afternoon, November IS; about three o'clock. As she steamed steadily onward it was evident that no damage to the vessel had interrupted the voyage. She was not expected to be back in Honolulu before the first of May. 'Those who went out to meet her, and saw the missionary ladies, Miss Crosby and Miss Ingersoll, sitting on the deck, wan and weak, did not need to ask why the Star had been sent back. The ladies were speedily taken ashore, medical examination made, and it was a relief to learn that while Miss Ingersoll might find it advantageous to remain in Honolulu a little time before going on to the States, Miss Crosby's illness was not so serious as to prevent her taking the steamer Australia on the succeeding Eriday, and getting into a more invigorating climate as soon as possible. Both of the missionary ladies were suffering from nervous troubles. The constant rainfall on both Ponape and Kusaie, with the intense heat of the tropic sun, is most debilitating, even to vigorous constitutions. Miss Smith, who came up from Kusaie, to care for the invalids on the voyage, will return to her woik in the girls' school, on the return trip of the Star. This interruption of the voyage is a serious matter in view of the impossibility of accomplishing the missionary work that must be done, as well as the large expense involved. It costs about fifty dollars a day to run the Star, and ten months barely suffice to take the vessel down and through the various groups of islands and back again to Honolulu in season to refit for the next year's trip. The Star sails nearly 1 1,000 miles each year, and to accomplish this distance in time, must steam about onefifth of the ten months allotted. To get back in season, the plan for a general meeting in the Gilbert Islands of the various missionaries for this year cannot be carried out. All that can be done is probably to land supplies and bring up orders from the Hawaiian missionaries. The Marshall group is in charge of native catechists, and they must be yisited and supplied this year, however hurriedly. Rev. Mr. Walkup was left at Nonouli, on the Gilbert Islands group, on the outward voyage of the Star, August 21. He had with him one of the boys from his training school, whom he had brought to Honolulu. His intention was to visit what other islands he might be able to reach before the Star should come back from the West to pick him up and bring him to Honolulu. Not until the Star had left him, was it known, that two Catholic priests were on the island, and that last April a fracas had occurred between some of their adherents in an altercation with the Gilbert Island Catechist who had been previously stationed on the island. The parties had come to blows, but the timely arrival of the priest had prevented a general scrimmage. Rev. J. H. Mahoe, of Koloa, who had been sent down as a special delegate to the Mission, of which he was formerly a member, was left with his little son at Apian. Rev. M. Lutera and wife had returned to that island from Butaritari in April, and were meeting with marked success in their work. They had bought a new whale boat, and made a visit to Tarawa, baptizing many converts there. Before the Star reached Nonouti, about the third time the steam was started, the iron main mast which is used as the smoke-stack, was noticed to be red hot. The soft coal when broken to powder, seemed to be drawn into the smokestack to the great loss of heat, as well as peril to the ship. Thefires were promptly drawn; but the next morning the rigging of the main mast was slack. When this had occurred twice in succession, investigation was made, and it was found that the iron mast was completely eaten away at the bottom and was settling down. On arriving at Kusaie, Capt. Garland cut some long spars in the woods. With these he lowered the mast on deck, and then the engineer, with such tools as he had, cut off five feet and more of the mast, replaced, riveted it anew, and made the necessary connections. It was carefully and skillfully done, and no further trouble was experienced. Some of the boiler tubes have been repaired here, and the Slar will probably sail next Monday or Tuesday to resume and complete her annual voyage for this season, coming back again, it is planned, about the first of May. The veteran, Rev. E. T. Doane, on Ponape, works vigorously for a man of seventy years; but the strain must tell upon him, strong as he is, anxious to spend his days even to the last in work for his beloved people. Miss Palmer has been unusually well. Rev. Mr. Eorbes landed his goods on Ponape, but returned to Kusaie, where he had been obliged to leave Mrs. Eorbes in Dr. Pease's care for medical treatment. They were planning to take up their abode on Ponape, when the Star next went west. Dr. Pease and wife on Kusaie were somewhat fatigued from the incessant care they had taken for months, night and day, of Miss Crosby. Miss Little, left alone with twenty-eight girls to look after, will gladly welcome back Miss Smith, associated with her in care of the school. Rev. Mr. Snelling was planning to leave Mrs. Snelling and Mrs. Logan alone on Ruk, while Capt. Worth and he in the open mission boat made a tout through the Mortlocks. It seems too much of a risk to venture, both for those at sea, and those left on the island, as we see things at this distance. Mrs. Logan, with her girls, was occupying the house built for Mr. and Mrs. Treiber. The Star brought to Honolulu, the captain and crew of the bark T. L. Sweat, of Portland, Me., bound from Newcastle, N. S.W., with coal for Hongkong, and wrecked April 9, on the Susanna reef. The ship went to pieces almost immediately,and the crew reached Polowot Island with only the clothes they wore. Capt. Gooding foi nd his way to Ruk. The mission boat was sent back for the crew, who were brought to the mission station, and kept there till .September. Then and they were taken in the boat to Ponape, thence brought to Honolulu by the Star. The Spanish soldiers who have taken possession of Ponape, have brought only degradation, disease and death to the native inhabitants. The faithful preaching of the Gospel by the Protestant missionaries and their warnings against the evils of intemperance and licentiousness, had checked the downward course of Ponapeans. But priest and soldier say, "Don't believe what these Protestant missionaries say. There is no harm in doing what you like to do." And so the good work of rescue and reform that had begun is stopped, and the endeavor seems to be to find the depths of immorality to which human beingscan sink. Some good photographs of scenes in Micronesia were taken by the second mate of the Star. The negatives ought to be secured for printing these views, for which there will probably be quite a demand both here and in the States. Three Christian Marshall Islands chiefs were present at the Calvary Presbyterian Church prayer meeting, Nov. 6. They had came to San- Erancisco to examine the worship and work of American churches. They sang in their own language "Wonderful Words of Life," and their presence at the meeting on such an errand, awakened fresh interest in the possibilities of Christian achievement among the Islanders of the Pacific. Very little has been done on Ponape in cultivation of the land. Notwithstanding the exuberant verdure, the soil is very shallow, the enormous rainfall washing away all depth of soil. A Portuguese, who was induced by false representations to take his family from Honolulu to Jaluit, has turned up on Ponape. He wanted to get some land belonging to the mission, to carry out his plan of building a saloon. So he represented himself to be a member of Fort Street Church. But it did not avail. The Spanish governor has refused to recognize any title of the mission to the land which he has taken for his headquarters. The saloon is built near the Spanish stockade, and the officers take their meals there. Skin diseases of various kinds are prevalent on Ponape; but no case of lepro was seen by Dr. Ingersoll until a few weeks before her departure, a man the presented himself for treatment with unmistakeable marks of that dread malady. . �Volume 47, No. 12.] Romanist Competition in the Gilbert Islands. It transpires by the arrival of the Morning Star that this process, which was to have been sooner expected, has begun. A serious collision had already occurred between the Protestant and Romanist parties. We are not informed who was most to blame. Probably both were in fault. The people, although partially Christianized, retain much of their ancient violence of disposition. The Protestant native catechist was much injured, and only escaped death through the interposition of the white Romish priest, on whose sincere humanity we do not wish to throw needless doubt, although he must have .known that the death of the catechist at his adherents' hands would have brought him into trouble with the Protestant German some government, which exercises authority in that group. We wish to avoid bigotry. With all the terrible faults of practice and errors ot doctrine which characterize the Roman Church, we recognize with admiration and brotherly love the pure character and holy lives of many of her priests and her laity. While we believe that the great body of her people are in spiritual darkness, we believe that man}' do arrive at true spiritual and saving union with God through Jesus Christ, especially among Romanists in Protestant lands, where the priesthood are compelled to come nearer to Gospel truth, and the people imbibe such truth from the Bible atmosphere around them. In the face of the deadly hostility and unsparing denunciation by the Roman Church towards all Protestantism, we are glad to have become able to exercise thus much of Christian charity towards her priesthood and laity. We cordially recognize the missionary heroism of her laborers among the heathen and the undivided devotion of so many of them to their work. While we regard their average work as coming far short of a true evangelization, yet, as in these Islands, where Protestant competition drives them up to a high educational srandard, they often greatly elevate the people out of savagery towards Christian civilization and purity of living. At the same time, we look with a regret which we are at no pains to conceal, at the introduction into the Gilbert 97 THE FRIEND. Islands of an avowedly hostile and ac" tively subversive agency of great power and activity just at the period when the long-delayed triumph of Christian peace and order is being gained in nearly all parts of that very savage group. The Protestant agency there is not a strong one. There are half-a-dozen Hawaiian ministers of limited education, none of them men of special leadership. There is a considerable number of native catechists trained in Mr. Walkup's school in Kusaie. One devoted and active white man is doing perhaps his last work in superintending and directing. It surely ought not to be a difficult task for a band of Romanist priests, easily subsisting where married white men cannot keep their wives, to crowd out the Protestant work and take possession of the ground. Happily, the people have the New Testament and much ofthe Old, and some other Protestant literature for we reckon the Bible as the most efficient of all Protestant books. So do the Romanists; for they never print the Bible for the heathen, and generally burn it when they dare to. It has become very much the fashion especially among the secular papers, which love to propitiate the Catholic voters, to exalt the missionary zeal and heroism of the Catholic priesthood as if superior to that of Protestants. We wish, therefore, to call special attention to the fact that, in Oceanica, if not in other pagan lands, the Roman Catholics have never been the pioneers in evangelization. They have always waited until the Protestants have Christianized the heathens and secured social order, and then they come in and strive to share the harvest, which they have not planted, reaping where they have not sown. 'The only exceptions to this that we know are where Papal governments such as the Spanish or French have forcibly subdued the savages and so facilitated the work of their clergy. In this there is doubtless an economy of force and of means. It is a cheap way of making conquest. But, if heroism is in question, then honor the Protestant pioneers who, for three-quarters of a century, have been breaking ground among savage tribes in Oceanica; and still they are penetrating fresh realms of darkness, in New Guinea, Melanesia, and the western Carolines. Thither, doubtless, the Roman priest will follow them with missal and rosary, as he does — everywhere else, after the conquest is made and the bodily peril is past. With all this, we might be content if Romanism came to lift the people into a higher life. Unhappily, it comes to the lately evangelized heathen to place a yoke upon him of subjection to an Italian priest. It comes to veil the beaming face of Christ in a dense and murky fog of incense to Mary and the saints, and of homage to an almost omnipotent priesthood. It comes as the invariable ally of absolutism and of antagonism to Liberal Government. It is one of the chief retarding factors in the world's progress towards the day of Him who will reign in Righteousness. And yet, like the Jewish priesthood of Pilate's day, these men verily think that they alone are serving God. We can only work on, striving to imitate the patience of Him who, for near nineteen centuries, has borne with all obstacles so patiently. The day of His triumph seems to be approaching. A dwarf can catch just as big a cold a giant. Some people are like a rocking-horse full of motion, but no progress. When a young man starts out for a drink and passes an old drunkard on the way, he can see just how he is likely to look himself in a few years. He is below himself who is not above an injury. Life is too short to be spent in minding other people's business. Revenge is the pleasure of a small and narrow mind. Poverty soon overtakes laziness in the race of life. Truth is stronger than error, righteousness is stronger than evil, life is stronger than death. Always to indulge our appetites is to destroy satisfaction. He who is false to the present duty breaks a thread in the loom and will find the flaw when he may have forgotten the as cause. Last I knew, you were deep in the Mind Cure. So I was. That was last week. Now I'm in the Faith Cure. I've found out about both. The difference is, in the Mind Cure you don't require any faith; in the Faith Cure you don't require any mind. The Eaith Cure just suits me. Chas. Dudley Warner. — Wherever the tree of benevolence takes root, it sends forth branches above the sky.

Dkar Sir:— In your kindly notice in your November issue of our return to Hawaii nei after an absence of thirty-one years, you say that after my mission to Europe in 1843 I returned to the Islands and started the Lihue plantation. I regret to say that I cannot claim that distinction. The Lihue plantation was started in 1849 by Henry A. Peirce, William L. Lee and Charles R. Bishop. Of this enterprising trio, Mr. Bishop is now the sole survivor. I purchased an interest in the plantation later in the same year or early in 1850, and went to Lihue as resident partner after the first field of cane had been planted, where I aided in putting up the buildings and machinery, remaining there five years, until the plantation, with its water and steam power, was well established. The plantation during this time was in charge of H. A. Widemann. My first plantation experience was ten years before that time, when, in 1839, in company with J. J. Jarves, the author of Jarves' history of the Hawaiian Islands, I took up land at Koloa. That land is now, I believe. a part of the Koloa plantation, which was started by Ladd & Co. somewhere about the year 1836, the first sugar plantation of any note at these Islands. We were at that time verdant youths of twenty years, in search of health, which the plantation life in the open air soon brought to both of us. We were also willing to make our everlasting fortunes at the same time, and fully expected to do so by the cultivation of the morns multicaulis, and the manufacture of raw silk. In this less important enterprise however, we failed, and I left Koloa, to accept a business offer at Honolulu. Jarves however, nothing daunted by the failure of our first venture made a heroic effort to retrieve his fortune, and soon wrote to me, to my astonishment, that he had planted a field of sago, from which he was sanguine of reaping profitable returns. .But as his sago obstinately refused to germinate, he too abandoned the plantation, and came to Honolulu where he started the Polynesian, finding in journalism a more congenial and satisfactory field of labor. In revisiting the scenes and surviving friends of our early married life at these islands, we are realizing the long cherished hopes of our later years. The My [December, 1889 THE FRIEND. cordial greeting we have received from Pearl Lochs. acknowledged. We are amazed and delighted beyond expression at the wonderful progress and prosperity ol which we see the evidences on every hand. And I am especially gratified to see that both Koloa and Lihue, the scenes of my own brief plantation experiences, have had their full share in the general prosperity. May no untoward events occur to retard Hawaiian progress. Yours faithfully, J. !•'. B. Marshall, There seems now to be a definite prospect of an early development of the large estates which the Oahu Railway and Land Co. have acquired around Pearl Lochs and beyond, ensuring the creation of a large paying traffic for the road in addition to that already existing. It also insures the speedy extension over the road to the projected sugar lands ot Honouliuli. Every added mile increases the beauty of the route, and we hope, the profits of the enterprising proprietor of the road. Should, as hoped, the American Government proceed soon to the removal of the bar and construction of a naval depot, Pearl Lochs will become a region of stirring activity. both old and new friends is gratefully Central Union Church Building. Mr. Bordwell, an able architect from San Francisco, has visited and conferred with the church committees, and will soon remit full plans and particulars for the construction of a stone edifice in accordance with the ground plan adopted after long consideration. Over six hundred sittings are provided in the auditorium, with Sunday-school and other apartments of proportionate capacity upon the same floor. It is probable that the stone will be colored vesicular basalt from the Kamehameha quarries. 'This resists lire, and is readily and finely cut. Some $75,000 have been subscribed, with need of much more for such a stone building as is contemplated. It promises to be an ornament to the city. We trust that it may be a place in which we and those who come after us shall truly and humbly worship God, feed upon his word, and grow in all grace and good works. Oahu Railway. Together with 3,600 other people, we are indebted to the Oahu Railway Co. for a delightful trip on the 16th, over its road as far as to Aiea, nine miles. We have since taken tickets and a ride one mile farther, to Kalauao. 'Two or three weeks more ought to open traffic to the Manana station. Every mile of the advance grows more interesting. A deep cut admits the road into Kalauao valley (or Crowow, as an old voyager printed it). We did the twenty miles there and back in an hour and a half, picking up the King and his party, band, etc., on our return. They had been calling at the pretty place which Mr. S. M. Damon is creating out of the mud-flats of Mo analua. " Kamu," as the Hawaiians call him, is not going to show any back-yard unsightliness to passing trains, but a highly improved and beautified series of fishponds and terraces. —Rev. J. M. Caldwell, pastor of the Oakwood Boulevard Methodist Church, reported, to the edification of his brethren at the Methodist ministers' meeting, the results of his investigation of Christian Science as a creed. To thoroughly satisfy himself, he had attended a course of twelve lectures given by a prominent exponent of Christian Science, as that doctrine is held in this city, and taken copious notes. He affirms that the name Christian, as applied to such a belief, was a fraud. He considered the name science as applied to such teachings as he heard, to be also a fraud. In the twelve lectures attended, the speaker ignored facts, perverted logic, misstated history, coined phrases and alleged facts. He cited a number of cases ofdeaths and of insanity which were due to belief in the pernicious doctrines of Christian Science, so-called.

Robert W. Wilcox, the leader of the insurrection of July 30th, was acquitted by a jury of Hawaiians, after two pro tracted trials, the first of which was broken off by the mis'onduct of a juryman. His guilt was absolutely proved by the testimony, including his own, nearly the same evidence as that upon which Albert Loomens had previously been promptly convicted of treason by a white jury. We do not think that the native jury intended to commit an act of injustice, although from the point of view of the white man, and of a large body of intelligent natives, they were greatly in error. Three of themselves were for conviction. Aleading element which seems to have turned the minds of the jury, was the quite well established fact, that the King was himself in complicity with Wilcox, who was acting really for the King to destroy the present system of government by the Legislature and its appointees, and to restore the King's formerly nearly absolute power. Like the old Jacobites, to the minds of most Hawaiians, whatever is done by the King and for the King, is legitimate, and cannot be treasonable. Added to this, was a wide-spread sentiment, which had been diligently worked up, that the present government was one usurped by the foreigners, in subversion of the rights of the natives. A race question was made to enter into the merits of the case. Altogether it became in the minds of a majority of the jury a political question, and farther, a national and patriotic one, in which an obligation to side with Hawaiians seemed paramount to their duty of judging according to the law and the evidence. It can hardly be doubted, if the Revo lution of June 30, 1887, had come to issue of battle, and had failed, and its leaders had been tried for treason by a white jury, that they would have been similarly acquitted, in the face of all law and evidence, and this amid general applause. It is true, that in the view of most white men. that Revolution was justified and necessitated by the baseness and corruption of the old regime; and it became established law by the general acquiescence and concurrence of the nation. But on the other hand, as said above, a majority of the natives adhere to their hereditary and instinctive THE FRIEND. loyalty to the King, through thick and thin, right or wrong, and a native jury votes straight on that side. Although most of us would have preferred a conviction, and would like to have had some penalty inflicted for the evil act of attempting to restore a wasteful and degraded government, still there is probably no very great regret, considering that it hail become so much a political question, and that the moral approbation of so large a portion of the people could not be enlisted on the side of justice, but was against it. Possibly it is better as it is. There will probably be less of anger and bitterness in the coming electoral contest, than if further punishment had been add d to the defeat and distress already experienced by the insurgents. An appeal is soon to be made to the ballot. Pali Road. 99 of important further use. In such a book as this, in addition to the close restriction as to space, there are some strict limitations imposed in deference to differing religious and political beliefs which would not control a historian writing independently. Notwithstanding these limitations, we judge that a very readable book is forthcoming as well as one adding materially to our accessible knowledge of Hawaiian History. After Shipwreck.—By J. A. Owen, author of Candalaria, etc. London. pp. 214, 12mo. This little book, just arrived, is written by Mrs. Owen, formerly well known in Honolulu, and sister of Mrs. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr. It consists of nine separate stories, which appear to have been all drawn from the writer's personal experiences in many parts of the world. The scenes are laid in Portugal, Panama, Rocky Mountains, New Zealand, California, Honolulu, Germany and England, beginning with a very realistic and vivid story of the writer's experience of a terrible wreck by collision off the coast of Portugal. The scene of "Tom Powers" is laid in Honolulu. His wife becomes a leper. Mrs. Owen fully endorses the statements of the July Friend about Father Damien's work. The writer's style is such as to make the book a very entertaining, as it is an instructive and wholesome one. It ought to have a good sale in Honolulu. It is very much above the ordinary level of the better class of Sunday-school books, yet is just the book for a Sundayschool library. The very best books are, like this, written out of one's own The new carriage road down Nuuanu Pali has actually been commenced, and quite a start made in blasting into the hard cliff below the summit of the present road.

This page it devoted to the interests o* the Honoh.lu Young Men's Christian Astxriaiion, ai.d the Board of Directors are resDOusible for it- contents. S. D. Fuller, - - - Editor. Sunday Evening Service. The pastor of the church and the deacons and the older members of the Associations have all expressed an earnest desire to have the Christian young men step more prominently to the front in gospel work, especially in our prayer meetings. But they shrink because of inexperience, in the presence of older and abler workers. Now the best drillground for young Christians known to the writer is the meetings of the Y. M. C. A. Here the young man is surrounded more exclusively by kindred spirits; a common experience begets sympathy, and it is much easier to give n i'ew words of testimony or offer a brie! prayer in the Association meeting than in the large Church meeting. While this is a good place to begin, it is not the place to end. Any work that does not make a young man more valuable and efficient in his church work, is spurious; it is of man and not of God. Kxperience proves that persistent, consecrated effort in the Association work, although it be weak at first will develop strength and efficiency in any well balanced young man. As a practical application of the above principle, a most cordial invitation is extended to all the Christian young men in the city to attend our Gospel Praise Service in the Association Hall every Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock. All young men, Christians or not, strangers or otherwise, will receive a hearty welcome. Below we give the topics for the month: Dec. I—How to win against great odds. 1 Sam. 17:40-50. Z-ech. 4:6. Dec. 8 -Soul thirst satisfied. Ps. 63: 1-8. Dec. 15—Determined men. Daniel 3: 8-18. Dec. 22—"Good Tidings ofGreat Joy." Luke 2:10-20. Dec. 29—The Sum-Total. 13,14. 1 John 3:23. Eccl. 12: The Week of Prayer. The week of prayer for young men, and Young Men's Christian Association work throughout the Christian world, has for several years been a season of spiritual quickening all along the lino. In several instances the interest awakened during that period has resulted in a blessed revival, bringing scores of young men into personal fellowship witth Jesus their long neglected Saviour. While the observance of this favorable season by our Association has not yet led to a like greatly desired result, still we have received help and blessing each year sufficient to prove that the measure of God's bestowed grace and spirit is only limited by our willingness to properly receive and faithfully use His offered mercies. The noonday meetings were not quite so largely attended this year as last, on account of the absence of several of our working members from the city during that week. On Sunday the work of the International Committee was presented by the General Secretary, and a generous coile :tion was made for the work, which augmented by a little personal effort amounted to $ iO, a gain of fifteen dollars over the contribution of any previous year. Although occupying one of the isolated outposts in this grand conflict for God and young men, we are still interested in the great and necessary work being done at the headquarters of the Intel national Committee. Social. Several fruitless attempts to select a propitious evening for the long-plannnd Social resulted in a final choice of Friday evening, Nov. SSd. Other attractions drew away some of our members and friends, but we had a good attendance, and a delightfully pleasant evening was enjoyed by all present. The Y. M. C. A. Boys were invited, and most of the older ones were on hand. There was an encouraging number of young men, some or whom had recently joined the Aesociation, but several were comparative strangers, who greatly appreciated the opportunity to make congenial acquaintances. The programme was purposely short, consisting of a piano solo, artistically rendered by Miss Adele Widdefield, a song by Mr. D. G. Morgan, who had to respond to a well-merited encore, and closing with a recitation by master Eddie Lame. The Reception Committee did excellent service in passing refreshments, introducing strangers and making everybody feel at home, and anxious to have the occasion duplicated as soon as convenient; which we purpose to do, and invite all to come again. Y. M. C. A. Boys. The V.M.C.A. Boys held their annual meeting Thursday p. at., Nov. 7. in the Association parlors. They elected Mrs. B. F. Dillingham President, Mr. S. D. Fuller Vice-President, Willie Whitney Secretary, Charlie Hyde Treasurer. After transacting sornj o'her business, the boys listened to an interesting "talk" by Hon. J. B. Atherton, who had just returned from an extended trip in Furope. He spoke more particularly of his visit in Paris, giving a pleasing description of the great International lixhibi.ion, the Eiffel Tower, and other wonders of that famous city. Items. We have arranged a good beginning for a series of "Familiar Talks" on interesting and popular subjects. The first will be given by General James F. B. Marshall on Tuesday evening, Dec. 3d, in the Association Hall. Subject, Hawaii Fifty Years Ago. The General has been absent from the Kingdom some thirty years, but was a resident here for about twenty years previous to that time. His personal acquaintance with, and activerarticipation in,the events of that early and important period of Hawaiian history will make the above occasion one of interest to old and young. The multitudinous Saturday evening attractions have interfered with the regularity of our Blue Ribbon entertainments, but we have tried to make up in quality what was lacking in quantity, and think we have met with some success. Yet the magnitude of the drinkcurse demands strong, constant and universal opposition. There are a considerable number of young men in the city who are recent arrivals—strangers in a strange land. The Secretary cannot meet them all; will the individual members make it a point as they may meet any of these to extend a V.M.C.A. welcome, and invite them to the Rooms. Endowment Fund. Several Assoc iatiationa in the United Statss have recognized the great advantage of having an endowment fund. They are working up an interest in the matter that has already placed some of the Associations on a firm financial basis of their own. The principal is invested and remains untouched, receiving such additions from legacies and other sources as friends of the work are pleased to make, and when sufficiently large the income is applied to defray current expenses. The Honolulu V.M.C.A. voted to invest the $403.40 received from the widening of Alakea street as the nestegg of such an endowment fund. It now remains for the worldly endowed friends of the Association to fill up the nest. While the population of Portland, Maine, has increased twenty-five per cent, in the past ten years, the City Marshal's last Report shows that arrests for drunkenness have decreased seven per cent, during that period, while arrests for all other causes have increased nearly seven per cent. But people will keep howling that "Prohibition is a failure!" Mr. William Noble, the founder of the Blue Ribbon Gospel Temperance Movement in England, whose serious illness was noticed in December Ust, lias made considerable progress towards recovery, and it is expected by his medical advisers that he will be able to resume his labours in the cause nf temperance during the early spring of next year.

So important a feature of the city as Punchbowl might have been described, and its nature briefly explained. The attention of pupils should he called to the successive streams of lava of which the mountains have been built up. as disclosed by the cutting out of the ravines. Some mention should have been made of the coral reefs, which form so important features of Oahu and Molokai; also that the harbor of Honolulu is formed by a gap in the fringing reef, due to the Nuuaiui stream preventing the growth of coral at that point, also that it is the only harbor where large ships can lie at wharves. The elevated reefs of the Oahu lowlands might have been spoken of; also the cemented dunes of Kahuku and Laic, now sandstone. The causes producing the Pearl lochs might have been briefly stated to good purpose. The bar is scarcely " across the mouth," but u pon the barrier reef, quite out at sea. The three chief mountains of Hawaii are classed together as of gentle slope. Surely we should make at least the old native distinction between the low, smooth dome of Mauna Loa (Long Mountain), the broken outline, steep sides and warty summit of Mauna Kea, and the hillocky contours of Hualalai. This last, by the way, if not called an active volcano, should at least be credited in the text, as it is on the map, with its splendid eruption of 1801. There should be a brief statement of the leading features of lava-flows, especially of the aa and the pahochoe ; alsc* of the ducts and caves. Are not the Haena caves parts of ducts, and not "great bubbles"? The early fertility of inland clinkers might be noted as suited to sweet potatoes, coffee, oranges, etc., as well as to growth of forests. It is hardly correct to say that the Maui isthmus "is composed chiefly of sand-hills," when perhaps there are more acres of growing cane than of sand. The remarkable chasm of Kaliuwaa i» not in Hauula, but in Kaluanui. It should have been more definitely stated that the lepers are housed, clothed and fed by the Government. Nothing in the book suggests the fine old native grass houses. The source and cheapness of lumber might be stated. Nothing is said of minerals, and of the absence of metals and coal. Kaula and Lehua should be described as "horseshoe-shaped craters," as well as Molokini. It should be stated that on these three islands, as well as on Diamond Head, and all other tufa cones, the highest part is to the south-west, and why it is so. It is always easy to pick flaws.

Marshall spoke of his first arrival here, when he saw the Princess and Premier Kinau lying in state, and heard Air. Bingham preach her funeral sermon in the old thatched church. He last saw Mr. Bingham at the funeral of the honored James Hannewell. He spoke of his long association with Gen. S. C. Armstrong, son of Mr. Bingham's successor in the pastorate of Kawaiahao, whose grand work at Hampton for Indians and Negroes, the poet Whittier thought the greatest work now being done in the country. "To lo6k upon this gathering of Hawaiians, the largest 1 have seen since my arrival, makes me feel as if I were renewing my youth. I say again, 'Aloha oukou.' " Mr. Josiah Kua spoke first in Hawaiian, atid then read an address in English, during the progress of which the Tablet was unveiled by Hiram Bingham third, a lad of thirteen. The inscription was interpreted by Mr. Kua to the Hawaiians. It is as follows : A CENTENNIAL MEMORIAL OF HIRAM BINGHAM Born in Bennington, Vt., October 30th, 1789. Died in New Haven, Ct., November 11th, 1809, aged 80 years. This slab is placed here in grateful remembrance of a pioneer missionary by descendants of Hawaiians (aided by his children), among whom he preached Christ for more than twenty years. He preached the first sermon ever delivered in this city, April'2~>th, 1830, from 'Fear not; for behold, I bring you glad tidings of great joy." Here he taught confiding kings, queens, and chiefs, faced dangers, and bore calumny from abroad; aided in reducing the language to writing, translated much of the Bible, composed books, hymns and tunes; here he baptized a thousand converts, planted a church, planned this edifice, and with his loving people, on June Bth, 1839, laid this adjoining corner stone, beneath which was placed a Hawaiian Bible, first published May 10th, 1839. From here, amid loud wailings of hundreds of his flock, he sailed on August 3d, 1840, to revisit his native land; but never returning, was not with them, when, on July 12th, 1842, with joyful acclamation, they dedicated this church. To Jehovah our God forever and ever." " The slab is of marble, about five feet by four, attached to the front wall of the church, immediately makai of the old corner stone. At the close of the exercises, at which His Majesty and the Princess Liliuokalani were interested attendants, the audience were invited to partake of a very bounteous feast which was spread upon the adjacent lawn under the algerobas. About six hundred natives sat down at once at the low tables, and as many more after them. Four bullocks, six hogs, and numberless fish and fowl had been cooked in the huge ground ovens, poi and other comestibles making up rations for two thousand people. So ended a most happy and profitable celebration. Miss E. K. Bingham and Mrs. L. B. Coan had the satisfaction of assisting in this commemoration of their father's labors. Letter from Gilbert Islands. Rev. Z. S. K. Paaluhi, writes from Tapiteuea via Sydney " When the Morning Star reached here November 11, 1888, our stock of provisions had failed in August, and we were buying food of the traders. [The route of the : Star was changed that year, going to the Marshall Islands before going to the GilbertGroup. -Ed.] Ourlettershad been left at Jaluit to be forwarded, and they were not delivered to us until December 21. Then we had to pay $2.50 postage. On our outward passage here the previous year, we stopped at Kusaie, visited and admired her girls' school. We wondered greatly at her ability to converse in three different Micronesian languages, Kusaian, Marshall and Gilberts. We have not received the box from the Lima Kokua, nor the medicines from Dr. Smith. Besides the money spent for the purchase of land for the station, I have been at considerable expense more than was sent me, in building those houses as shown on the plan I have drawn and send to you. I had no compass, but took my bearings from the points of sunrise and sunset. Emma (Mrs. Paaluhi,) came near dying July, 1888, from some stomach trouble, and the pain continued until November. "We went to the south end of the island to visit Kaaia (his missionary associate). Emma and the baby grew better and returned to our station January, 1889. The mission work at this station is making more progress than formerly. Kaaia and I and the natives have passed certain laws to preserve peace and tranquility. They were proclaimed July 10, 1888. Here are some of the penalties for various crimes: For drunkenness, a fine of 2,000 cocoantits, or 5 cocoanut trees cut down: making or for intoxicating liquor, the furnishing liquor; stealing, a piece of land to the owner of the property stolen; for adultery, a piece of land to the wife; for murder, death or 3 pieces of land; for Sabbath breaking, 2,000 cocoanuts; for bloodshed, 2,000 cocoanuts; for lascivious dancing, 1,000; lying, 1,000 nuts, or 3 cocoanut trees; for truancy, 10 nuts. In consequence of these laws, there is peace and order, except for the drink. I have four districts to visit, spending one Sabbath in each district. In Sunday School, the scholars recite Bible lessons. I cannot report many conversions, only a few. "All do not wear clothes. On Sundays, they will have at least one garment. The people fish night and day. But the Holy Spirit giving me that divine power, on which only I can rely, my hope is strong in the final supremacy of the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. I am teaching in the schools the primer, the Scriptures, Mental and Written arithmetic, writing, geography. Mr. Walkup's school at Kusaie is a same: Novembr, 1889. great blessing for the Gilbert Islands. His pupils are taught English, singing by note, elocution, composition, Bible history and doctrines. I have established a BlueßibbonTemperance League here, which 1 hope God will prosper. Itaaka Niuta and his wife have returned here from Banaba, and Taremon and his wife are now stationed there. Banaba has suffered from famine. Many have died. There are no leaves or fruit on many cocoanut trees. Fish is the only food, and many people are leaving the island. Itaaka is helping Kaaia. In January, 1889, a certain Bekau Kaiboboki, came into the third district of my parish, caught me by the two arms'and said, " I will tie you with a rope, and keep you tied till the Star comes again, and then send you aboard." He was a drinking man, and because he had been fined for drunkenness, threatened me because I had accused him of it before the people of Tapiteuea. I did not make any opposition to this violent assault, only spoke pleasantly to him. But when the South-enders heard what he had done, they came up with Kaaia and made him pay them a fine of 1000 nuts, and cut down the tree on his land. Then he confessed his fault. March 18, 1889, a similar disturbance sprung up at the South-end, between the Bekau folks and Kaaia. He called on the people of trfe North-end for help. So I went with my people, not to fight, but to hold a Christian assembly. The Bekau folks were fined, and tranquility restored. limma'sUrouble is now in her chest, and she can no longer teach the women and little children. Sunday and Wednesday meetings are orderly and Emma continues the Friday meetings for the women. Sometimes we think we ought to go back to Hawaii to get proper medical treatment for Emma. I have planted 72 cocoanut trees, 0 bread-fruit, 6 pandanus on the mission land; built an eating and store-room, a cook house, a school house, and have bought for $4 four cocoanut trees outside of the mission premises. My house is very comfortable, with its windows, blinds, veranda and steps. I would like to have three nets for fishing. I used to pay $4.50 for one net, with meshes about one inch or less. The net ought to be 10 or 12 fathoms long. Kaaia is well, and doing well, not very well. The Holy Spirit is what we need. We have had rain, and the island looks very beautiful. My kind regards to all the members of the Hawaiian Board." The letter is dated March 19, 1889, and was received October 19. A letter from Rev. M. Lutera, Apaian, speaks of his wife as teaching the girls to sew and sing, while he teaches the boys. A new school house is nearly completed, and also an addition to the church. Attendance is good, and order almost universally prevails. The Christian people have passed a law, that if any one sleeps or laughs, or �Volume 47, No. 11.] makes a disturbance, he shall be fined 20 cocoanuts, and policemen are stationed every Sunday to enforce this rule. Lutera visited Tarawa June 8, and received 150 to the church, baptized 40 children, mairied 40 couples. A new church building has been put up, 80 feet long by 50 feet wide. Rain has fallen abundantly for two years, and food is plenty. But there is no King or Queen, no one person with supreme authority. The Annual meeting of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union was held on the evening of Saturday, October 26th, at Y. M. C. A. Hall. The reports of the various officers were read, and an animated and instructive address was delivered by the President, Mrs. Dr. J. M. Whitney. The exercises were followed by a sociable hour, with refreshments served. The Blue Ribbon League participated in the occasion, their President, Rev. H. H. Gowen opening the exercises. We print in another column the report of the missionary of the W. C. T. U., Miss M. F2. Green, which was read on this occasion, and which is full of interest. Report of Missionary of W. C. T. U. By Miss Mary E. Green. On account of absence six months to California, we give this year a biennial report. Temperance effort and success are the main features during the year 1888. In June, I toured the island of Oahu. My companions were Jennie Bates, assistant teacher at the Kawaiahao Seminary, and Obed Kekuewa, both natives of the soil. Both consecrated to the Master's service. Descending the Pali, we were overtaken by an Hawaiian who wore two hats; his attitude evinced an inclination towards the jug that depended from his saddle's pommel. Miss Bates opened upon him a battery of wholesome advice. On parting she suggested the propriety of dashing the jug away, and returning to his wife and children. We reached the sugar plantation of Mr. John Cummins, where we were tendered right royal hospitality. The following day, the people met me in Mr. Cummins spacious reception room. We held services and took pledges. In due time we left for more "seed sowing." Now and then reaching Hawaiian homes, we would dismount, and call the inmates to prayer, Bible reading and instruction, into which my young companions entered willingly. It was a joy to converse with the aged Hawaiians; their simple trust in God, their cheerful expressions of gratitude for what has been done for them by the missionaries, bright anticipations of the "mansions" prepared for them, and their decided non-complicity with intemperance stamped them Christ's own ones. 89 THE FRIEND. At Kaneohe, we were guests of Mr. WaiIn company with the Deputy nee. Sheriff, we visited many homes. At this place I formed a Union, previous to which, our Constitution, By-Laws and pledge were read. There were speeches, songs, prayers and intelligent questions as to the best method of carrying on the work. Pledges were given, and a good spirit prevailed. We left for Waikane bedecked with garlands of fragrant flowers. As on the preceding days of travel, grand cliffs of Koolau were on our left, the breezy, bright blue Pacific at our right. At Waikane we were entertained by Mr. Aikue in foreign style. The family vied with each other in ministries of love. On Sunday we held service, Sabbath School, and formed a Union. The pastor was absent. His wife spread for us all a generous lunch, and showered upon us assurances of aloha. On Monday we set forth reinforced by our friend Aikue and his family. We visited the district school kept by our half-white hostess. The first beholding was a line of boys and girls, each holding a copy of Hunt's Child's Health Primer. I received prompt replies to questions put them from the book. We road over a beautiful country. To the left mountains, to the right the murmuring sea, sowing the seed as we entered the lowly homes of the dear Hawaiians, or met them on our way. At Kahana, one of Nature's valley gems, we made cold water calls, then to the home of Mr. Kapu, pastor of the churches on the west side of Oahu. For hours he and friends had been awaiting our arrival, and a gladsome reception we met. The women of his parish had braided Pandanus mats for the floors of the parsonage, skillfully fitting to each turn and corner. The appointments of the house were civilized and neat. The ensuing day with Mr. Kapu, we revisited Kahana to find the church filled with Hawaiians, some from miles away. We organized there a Society, whose officers were young women, more modest, sensible interesting I have hardly ever met. "True ring" was imparted to the occasion by the well trained choir, under leadership of the pastor. With Mr. Kapu we journeyed through Koolaupoko and Koolauloa, missionating on the way. We passed the Mormon settlement. At Kahuku homes, we met, conversed and united in prayer with men and women whom I shall never forget. We shall know each other in "The Better Land." While at Waialua, we were the recipients of many loving attentions from Mrs. Emerson. She could not have said or done more for us had she known it was her final visit with us. A loving mother welcome she gave us on arrival; a fond farewell at departure; as we turned for one more look at the dear face, fresh inspiration incited us to greater effort in behalf of "God, Home, and Native Land." At the old missionary church we held meetings, and organized a Temperance Union into which work the Judge en- tered heartily. We passed on to the north-east part of Oahu, stony and bleak. Here to my surprise was a former pupil, who with her family signed the pledge. After many miles of slow riding, we reached Makua. That evening was devoted to our special mission. At Waianae, 1 formed a Union of earnest hearts and willing hands. At Ewa, we hoped to have gathered the people together, but they are so scattered it could not be done on short notice. We reached Honolulu after seventeen consecutive days of service "in His Name." My companions gained knowledge as to methods of work among their countrymen. They took it up in a manner highly creditable to themselves. The past year your committee has spent in Honolulu. Have translated temperance articles for the two weekly newspapers "Kuokoa" and "Pat Ainu. Have held weekly " Band of Hope" meetings for Hawaiian children at "Queen Emma Hall." Although success is not commensurate with our hopes and plans, we endeavor to bear in mind what is written in the "Book of books." It reads thus : "If thou faint_ in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." So, adverse circumstances will only stimulate us to greater faith, and efforts in the blessed cause of aiding to rescue humanity from death and ruin. We have hoped to publish a second edition of our Hawaiian temperance song book with music; but cannot yet see our way clear. We have added "awa" and "opium" to Our temperance pledge. Although our meetings are not always fully attended, we know that such is the way among other nationalities. There ever was, and ever will be a high and low tide in the affairs of men. On our last monthly visit to the prison, we saw, as usual, whites and natives confined for alcoholism. We visit the public institutions of the city, and the homes of the people; and in our ears is poured the same sad story that brings tears to our eyes, and sorrow to our hearts. The Friday evening meetings at Queen Emma House, ably conducted by the Chief Justice of the nation, are still replete with interest. Many are the thrilling facts and experiences there given. Many of those who have signed the pledge of total abstinence are this night rejoicing in their freedom. It is gratifying to see the "bit of blue " by some worn costantly; an emblem of unshaken adherence to the pledge given. We believe that Prohibition is what Hawaii nei needs. License, high license, low license, weighed in the balance are found want- . �90 THE FRIEND. ing. "License is a sham, a fraud, a sin." Some say the people are not quite ready now for the adoption of any complete measure for the cure of this great evil. We must wait; we must bide our time; the saloons are too much for us now; we must stand aside and let them have their way, as people in a crowded street must do if a savage bull were running amuck through it. No possible good, even to an infintesimal extent comes to temperance from the policy of license to the liquor traffic, while immense harm comes by giving the saloous the protection and support of law, as if it were a good thing, and not an infinite mischief to the community, and a great sin, "shame and crime before God." There exists in Honolulu a necessity whose importance cannot be over-estimated. AHome, and in it aW.C.T. U. department, in connection with a coffee and refreshment room, furnished with a view to comfort and pleasure, cheerfully lighted, whose wallsshall beadorned with scenes and letterings suggestive of happy homes in other lands, of a Heavenly Father's love—of welcomes to all. There should be bright flowers, and literature entertaining and improving. It seems to us a deplorable fact, that aside from the Y. M. C. A. no such Home exists. Its motto might be "Home Protection versus Saloon Destruction." Mrs. Homer of Kukuihaele sent five dollars for the work, which were expended for temperance mottos, arranged on the walls of Queen Emma Hall. Mr. Southwick has placed in our hand ten dollars. The brothers Wilcox on Kauai have each donated $25, and Mrs. T. Waterhouse ten, towards the purJ. chase of a sterioptican "A. No. 1" which, when secured, after a due amount of the wherewith is raised, will be a material aid to temperance work. Early Trading in Hawaii. The monthly concert exercises on Wednesday, Oct. 2d, in Central Union Church, were most agreeably varied by a most spicy and stirring account of his labors in Singapore by Rev. Mr. Oldham, a returning Methodist missionary in transit by a P. M. S. steamer. Mr. and Mrs. Oldham had gone to India on Bishop Taylor's self-supporting plan, which does not seem to be altogether the best one. They found remunerative occupation in Singapore in teaching English to sons of Chinese merchants, and had created a large and prosperous educational institute, resulting in many conversions of the pupils. Mr. O. speaks and looks like a man who could make his way anywhere. A lady missionary from Corea, the first one ever visiting us, also made some interesting statements. We are pleased to learn that Prof. Edmund Sanford, lately of Oahu College, and since then at Johns Hopkins, has become one of the faculty of the new Clark University in Worcester, iFrom the MaiU Wreath.) By W. D. Alexander. It has been said that anatomists like Cuvier or Agassiz from a single bone, a tooth for instance, could reconstruct an entire skeleton. "Ex pede Hereiilem." So a literary fragment, an old newspaper or a diary will often throw unexpected light on the state of society in which it was produced. This is true of a little book accidentally found the other day in a store-room of the Government building called Hale Kapuaiwa. While examining a mass of forgotten rubbish, I came across a large box containing the account books of the old firm of French & Co., from 1828 to 1843, among which was a small ledger filled with accounts of the years 1818 to 1819. After some inquiry I learned that this set of books and papers had been filed with the Court of Chancery ofOahu in 1844, during the settlement of the complicated affairs of the Estate of French and Greenway. It seems that Mr. Wm. French came from Boston to these islands in 1819, on his way to China with a cargo of merchandise. From the ledger referred to above we gather -that he left Boston in September, 1818, in the Brig "Neo," arriving here in March, 1819, and that he remained here until November of the same year. It was a memorable year in Hawaiian history. Kamehameha I. died on the Bth of May, and was succeeded by his son Liholiho. The abolition of the Kapu system was proclaimed in the following October, and therevolt ofKekuaokalani in behalf of idolatry took place in November, to which events our account book makes no allusion. The first and most interesting account in the book is that of King Kamehameha I. or "Tamaahmah," commencing March 12th, 1819, on which day he bought two shirts, paying for them by a canoe load of vegetables. A week later, we are sorry to see that he purchased 16 kegs of Rum, valued at $400, and on the 27th a box of Tea, together with $8,000.00 worth of guns, powder and shot. He paid for the above with 850 piculs of sandal wood at $10 a picul, the picul being equal to 133c_ lbs. weight. During the following May, his son and successor, Liholiho, or " Reah Rehu," purchased 34 casks of gun-powder, 80 muskets at $15, with a large quantity of bullets, flints, etc., and the new sloop "Kiroua," valued at $4,160.00, for which he gave in payment 416 piculs of sandal wood, 4 hogs, and his note for the balance. This supply of muskets and ammunition was very timely in view or civil war which broke out five months later, and no doubt contributed to the decisive victory of Kuamoo over the pagan party. Next comes the account of Kalanimoku, or "Crymacoo," who bought a shirt [November, 1889 March Pith, paying for it with a hog, which seems to have been the regular price. He also purchased over $1,200 worth of cloth, paying for it with hogs and small wood; and lastly Aug. 6th, bought the brig "Neo" and appurtenances for the exorbitant price of $51,-750.00, paying down $44,470.00 in sandal wood, and giving his note for the balance, viz., $7,280.00. The craze for buying ships has always been a weakness of Hawaiian Chiefs, from the time of the brig "Neo" or "Niu" to that of the steamship "Kaimiloa." The next important account is that of Boki, here styled "Gov. Boka," who was Governor of Oahu, and appears to have made a final settlement for the debts of all the chiefs. Among his purchases were 6 packs of cards for $3.00. The final upshot of the business was that the King and chiefs parted with over $61,600.00 worth of sandal wood, besides many hogs, and gave three joint notes amounting to $24,310.00, payable in sandal wood. We have been told that Gov. Adams found the brig "Niu" rotten (popopo), and had her hauled up and repaired in Pearl River. Among other accounts we find those of Kaahumanu or "Caramano," Keeaumoku or "Tyamoko," Naihe or "Nyhee," Kaikioewa or "Kikeavah," and Hewahewa or "Haver Haver," the high priest. Nearly every one of these worthies purchased a shirt on the 12th of March, 1819, giving a hog in exchange for it. Among the names of foreigners we find that of John Young, who, like the rest, bought a new shirt March 12th, for a hog, and afterwards gave a small pig in exchange for 3 lbs. of tobacco. John Harbottle, who arrived here in 1794, was acting as pilot, and took his pay in goods. We also find the familiar names of Capt. Thomas Meek, of FVancesco Marin (spelt "Marinne"), of George Beckley, Wm. Bade, W. H. Davis, and other old settlers. Nearly all the trade was carried on by barter, and scarcely any payments in cash are recorded in our book. Hogs are credited at $2.00 a piece. On the other hand, the price of an axe was $3.00, of a "palimpore" or Chinese umbrella, $3.00, and blue cloth was sold at $3.00 a yard. It is worthy of notice that the seamen of the brig "Neo" were shipped in Boston at from $11 to $16 per month, receiving all the way from $22 to $80 in advance. Facts like these speak for themselves. W. D. Alexander. General James F. B. Marshall.

Mr. Marshall soon returned here and started the Lihue sugar plantation. In 1858 he returned to Boston, where as President of the Hawaiian Club, he helped to welcome Hawaiian visitors, arid to disseminate information about these Islands. Being debarred by a physical disability from military service during the war, he rendered most important service as Paymaster General of the Massachusetts troops, and was at one time, with Mrs. Marshall, for several months at the front in the work of the Sanitary Comission, Mrs. Marshall laboring as a nurse in the Military Hospitals. Later on, for fifteen years, our friend was associated with Gen. S. C. Armstrong at Hampton, Va., as financial manager of the great and successful school at that place. After a long life of so much beneficent service, he is again among scenes of his earlier labors, to find almost all his former associates passed away.

BOARD. HAWAIIAN HONOLULU I. H. This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions and the Kditor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. We are glad to see that at the planters' meeting, which is now being held, such appreciative and kind resolutions were passed bearing upon their relations with the native Hawaiians. It is by the honest expression of just such sentiments as these, and by the carrying of them out into practice, that the bitterness which is being gendered by the demagogue is to be neutralized, and the workmen of our earlier days to be won back to wholesome labor. Let the planters pay handsome wages; let them be careful in the selection of their lunas (gang overseers); let them keep these positions, so far as they can in fairness to themselves, for the native Hawaiians; let them offer them as a reward for trustworthiness, and we believe that the policy will prove itself. Why should not the young men of the Kamehameha School be assured that the great industry of the islands offers them a fair and open field; why should not some of them be permitted to "plan to enter plantation life; what could be healthier for them, or often more remunerative. If rightly led, they might help to bring the dignity of plantation work up to a higher level. If the bright, informed native (or half-white) can readily collect a band of suffering indigents, and lead them in a raid against good government in search of precarious spoils, then it would seem that hd might be a good man to enlist men for plantation work. It may be fairly possible that this might be one solution of the problem, "where shall we get laborers?" There are workmen enough already on the islands if they can only be got at. The opening that might thus be offered the intelligent young Hawaiian, might also be afforded the young Chinaman or Portuguese, or Japanese of right quality. Are there not enough unemployed hands already in the country to man our plantations, without trying the doubtful experiment of bringing in more. It is one thing to get workmen and another thing to keep them at work; the latter matter is quite as important as the former. Plantation life may perhaps be made more attractive. Let us avoid the coolie system, or the alien driver. Let natives lead natives at their work, and Chinamen lead Chinamen, when it is a feasible thing, and so in and between the hands of workmen,.let there be honor aud emulation.

There was but one Blue Ribbon Entertainment last month owing to an unusual counter attraction on one Saturday evening, and the hall being engaged two other Saturday evenings. We hope to do better in the months to come. The business meeting last month was not so largely attended as it should have been. The usual committees reported and several mattes of interest were discursed. Mr. F. J. Lowrey, who has been spending several months in the United States, gave us an interesting talk on his impressions of Y. M. C. A. work gathered from visiting some of the larger Associations from San Francisco to Boston. Since vacation the Sunday evening Gospel Service has increased in interest and attendance, and yet there is still room for improvement. The value of the meetings would be greatly increased if a larger number of our members would make special effort to be there, and come prepared to take some part in the exercises, also invite or bring a Topics for the friend, or stranger. month are printed elsewhere.

I am moved to copy some of the things I found on the back of these various cards, the front being reserved for the advertisement: "This is the most complete and correct collection of all military and naval uniforms throughout the world." "We will pack in the celebrated Chewing Tobacco the portraits of all the leading base-ball players in the country in full uniform." "Flags of all the states and territories in the Union." "Portraits of our leading actors and actresses in the costumes of all nations from 600 B. C. to the present time." On some of these cards important statements are made: To-day. "Figures never lie.

"Ah, but, it is said the heavens are evolved, and the earth is evolved, and these bodies and souls are evolved." Then why not say the flints and hatchetheads are evolved. It would be easier to believe it. They look to be verymuch in a state of transition. But suppose these worlds, and these blossoms, and these people aie evolved—it does not yet appear—but suppose they are evolved. How does that hinder the argument ? How does that do away with God? Who evolved them? Evolved themselves? Suppose even that. There is no proof of it. But suppose it. Then out of what did they evolve ? Who made the marvellous fire-mist ? And who gave it such amazing forces, that out of this formless immensity there could come these myriad beings, all instinct with life, and all radiant with beauty ? More than before, if possible, there needs a wonder-working hand behind that primordial form of matter which is said to have in it "the promise and potency of every form oflife." Who made it? It does not solve the mystery of the material universe to put it all back into the protoplasmic nebulosity. Whence came that nebulosity ? Who got that marvellous tire-mist ready to roll up and around, and upon itself through eeom upon eeona of ages, and to flame up into ten millions times ten millions blazing suns; and then to settle away into these hills, and valleys, and waters: and then to begin to stir with mysterious vital forces, all out of its own protoplasmic mud evolving all the world's bloom and all the world's life, you and me, your soul and mine, all that we are or ever are to be. our very thoughts, and hopes, and loves, and longings after immortality ? That was an amazing skill that could give primordial matter all that promise and potency. Whose skill was it? Nobody's? "Nobody's skill," they say. "for matter is eternal.'' That is the only way of escape from the admission that there is a (iod iif infinite power and infinite skill. out of whose hand this wonderful universe came. Either matter has existed forever, m else there is a God of whom it may be said, "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God." The argument now is brief. The simple question that remains is this: since something musl have existed from all eternity, is that something an intelligent mind, a being with a will and with power to work? or is it matter? First, which is it most rational to believe, that mind is the product of unthinking matter, or that matter is the product of a thinking mind ? Mind is a higher thing than matter. Does the higher corns from the lower, or the lower from the higher? Which then is the Lehman being succeeded by Brother most rational, from eternity to eternity, Stolze for four years, and the Brethren the tire-mist; or from eternity to eternity, Wedeman and Kuester, each for eight years, while from 1861 to his being callGod?

How well informed he really is may be seen* by reading an excellent article in the latest issue of The Christian Advocate of this city. Its author is the Rev. S. L. Baldwin, whose knowledge of Chinese Mission work is not exceeded by any man's. Dr. Baldwin shows that there are to-day 35,000 communicants ol Protestant Churches in China; if these were four-dollars-a-month men. as Lieut. Wood asserts, their pay would be $1,-680,000 yearly, or more than twice the amount spent by all the Protestant missionary societies in China, including the salaries of all the missionaries, the building of churches and parsonages and schools, tlie printing of books, the supply of drugs and surgical instruments fur the hospitals, and all other matters of expense. The converts are from every class of society: mainly, however, from merchants, store-keepers, fanners, and artisans. "What," asks Dr. Baldwin. very persistently, "would Tiong Ahok, the wealthy Chinese merchant at Foochow, who gave $10,000 to our AngloChinese College, think of the accusation that he is a menial, hired at $I.(X) a month to be a Christian?"

No doubt many Christian people have supposed that the Hawaiians having been Christianized, had entirely put away the worship of idols and heathen gods. Any serious reflection would show them that this could not possibly be the case. In the nature of things it would be impossible that the ancient religious belief and practices of any people could be extirpated at once. A belief in the powers of the aumakuas, unihipilis, and the various gods and demi gods of heathenism is inwrought into the mental constitution of the Hawaiian. He inherits an aptitude for such a belief, a deadly proclivity to it, from uncounted generations of heathen ancestors. Besides this hereditary proclivity, he absorbs the firm belief in these things from the people around him, from his earliest infancy. Superstition is propagated through the ordinary conversation of the household, whose thoughts run on such things, and the child imbibes it into a disposition naturally welcoming it. In view of these conditions, it is not strange that most Hawaiians continue to be more or less under the dominion of superstitious fears. It is not strange that the great majority of them, as alleged by Mr. Bicknell and others who know them intimately, turn to these evil powers in time of sickness, and in the hour 01 death, when the mind is feeble and the soul faint, instead of seeking unto the living God and Savior. It is indeed a wonderful triumph of of idolatrous fears, as we relieve and build him up. It looks as if personally know to be the fact in very now we were at least getting at an inmany instances.

He was still more specific when he said, "How hard it is for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God"! It is not necessarily an evil to become rich, as many of our old friends have done and are doing. It entails hea-vy burdens and responsibilities, and great anxieties; but it may be so handled as to be a source of great and elevated satisfactions. Riches become a deadly evil, when one trusts in them, as we fear most rich men do. How few wealthy men are there among us who would not count it one of the greatest of disasters to become poor in this world's goods. What a minority of them, who do not look down upon those not rich in worldly estate, however richly endowed otherwise. Such men manifestly trust in their riches. Another token of trusting in riches is in clinging to them, and making it a first object to save and amass, instead of using them for the public benefit, and especially for the kingdom of Christ. It is a sad and pitiable spectacle to see a man to whom God has given a blessed opportunity and ability to set forward by his money good work of all kinds for the help and elevation of his fellow-men, thinking of little else than how to keep his money and increase it and enrich his heirs, who are more likely to be ruined by wealth than benefited. We think no man can feel so horribly poor as a millionaire when he wakes up in eternity with no treasure invested in heaven. His treasure was all here, and he has lost every cent. He serit nothing on ahead. We are comforted to know that some of our rich men, dear aged Father Bond among them, are above worshipping their money, and are putting it "where it will do the most good." Letter from Rev. A. H. Smith. Piang, Chia Chuang, Shantung, 1 China, July 1, 1889. J Dear Mr. Bishop: We are glad to hear that the project so long talked about, to have a new missionary force put into the Hawaiian Islands, has really come at last to some practical head, in spite of all the talk about it! We pray that much wisdom may be given to you all to know what things not to do, as well as what need to be done. The regular visits of the Friend have given us a good deal of welcome information about the island matters, in which I think we are not likely to lose our interest as long as we live.

Mr. Ando has done a noble work in united efforts centering in Berlin, in organizing this and other hospitals where numerous societies sprang up in connection, to meet the want of positive religion in a city with very few churches for a population of one and a half millions, so that 70,000 to 135,000 souls belong to one parish. This movement has been much intensified in the last five years. Inconsequence of the new life, Missionary spirit has come to many circles formerly reluctant to appreciate the importance of foreign missions. The old societies of Basel, Barmen, Leipzig, Hermansberg, Bremen being all built on a thoroughly international basis—as of course the Gospel is always international—did not include the obligation, that wherever the German flag was unfurled, evangelical Christianity should be preached and taught by word and example to the natives, or all who chose to reside within the boundaries of the new evangelical empire. A colonial mission —though not in name, but in fact— was inaugurated by the German East African Missionary Society. There are at Berlin already two well known Missionary Societies, viz., the Berlin Society for Preaching the Gospel to the Heathen, which works in South Africa and China, and the Gossner Missionary Society, which works among the Kolks in India. It seemeed questionable whether the religious life of the German capital could bear a third or even a fourth society, when Kaiser Wilhelm'l Land, Bismark Archipelago, and Marshall Islands, after German East Africa, came into consideration. But as the German Oriental Seminary increases facilities for educating young theologians in the missionary service by teaching them the heathen languages of their fields at home, as the deaconesses of St. Lazarus were before, sending their sisters, some of the highest nobility, to their hospitals at Zanzibar and Dares Salam, there would be hardly any question about the Lord's will, and no hesitation in doing "it. As the evangelization of heathen countries largely depends on the Christian character of the white population, proper care shall be taken to preach to German settlers and organize them into congregations, so that in all parts of the globe foreign and domestic missions as twin sisters may be closely allied and work together.

It is 'It is very difficult if not impossible high time that these pastors were effect- matter, to discuss the Chinese question, without giving serious displeasure to some of the different parties whose interests are concerned, whether selfish or benevolent. ■ On one side are the work- classes, especially the skilled workers, whose livelihood is severely encroached upon by a people who unite a great aptitude for skilled labor with an unequalled capacity for parsimonious living, and subsistence at a minimum ol expense. On an opposite side is the interest of the planter and capitalist, who find a large profit in the abundant importation of Chinese labor. There are again the earnest Christian sympathies of those who are laboring to enlighten the Chinese with the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, and who have learned to recognize and love the noble Christian manhood of many of His Chinese ing disciples. In tho presence of an active renewal of agitation upon the subject of restrictions upon the Chinese, we do not feel justified in remaining altogether silent, no matter whom we are likely to displease. It is a subject presenting many grave difficulties even to those who best understand it. People may well be pardoned for making serious errors respecting it. We earnestly deprecate acrimonious controversy, and bitter denunciation of opposing views. Yet we know that it is very hard for the working man not to be angry who sees his livelihood taken away by resistless Chinese competition, and his family straitened and distressed, because they cannot possibly live in comfort and decency upon earnings upon which Chinamen thrive and prosper. It is also very trying to those who long and labor for the social progress of the community in these islands to see civilized men of Christian training and ideas driven out of the country by the overcrowding competition of a pagan race who cannot assist in maintaining good government or civilized progress. We desire not to be behind .my one here in insisting upon a sacred regard to the personal and property rights of the Chinese already in the country. We would have all possible aid given by the government and by private benefactions for the moral and spiritual elevation of these interesting and very capable people. But we cannot help seeing able addition of pagan and unmarried Chinese males by farther immigration should be effectually prevented. This is urgently demanded in behalf of the social life of the natives. It is essential to the material prosperity of our white population, and of the natives also. It is for the material benefit of the Chinese now here, that they suffer from no further competition from China. And it is for the interest of Christian work among the Chinese, that we be not flooded by pagan immigration. Pastor's Aid Societies. The Secretary of the Hawaiian Board gives some interesting information as to the progress of these organizations. It is very cheering- it contains an element of great hope for the active progress of good Christian work in our feeble native We have been laboring, parishes. with as yet ill success and unfulfilled hopes, for the obtaining of a few able recruits for the emptied ranks of our old missionary army. As yet only one has come to help. It would appear, however, that we have not hitherto used all the means ready to our hands. It seems that a very moderate amount of money, judiciously employed to invigorate and stimulate the native churches in the support of their pastors, will be likely to impart a spirit of confidence and energy to these pastors, and make them far more efficient leaders of the people in their spiritual needs. The raising and proper application of even these moderate sums for pastor's aid, is necessitating a great deal of hard and self-denying work on the part of individual Christians who have undertaken it. We rejoice to know how earnestly some of them are doing it, and how much their own souls have been blessed by this diligent missionary effort, and close contact with the native Christians and their pastors. The two worst moral plagues infesting the native churches are social immorality and idolatrous practices. It is our belief that in most of the churches, the pastor is quite impotent to openly and actively make war upon these evils, however he may hate them. Why so ? Because he is entirely dependent for support upon the people who practice them. If he can feel that there is other resource for his support, and that a Pastor's Aid Society will not permit him to suffer for fidelity to the Lord's work, he will be greatly emboldened. It occurred lately on Maui that the Island Association voted down a strong resolution condemning supestitious practices. This was not because the pastors were not heartily opposed to those practices; it was because they ually placed in a position where they can wage vigorous war upon idolatry, and can work to enforce church discipline in the frequent cases of open concubinage in their churches. We hope to hear very soon that the Maui Organization is actively at work. Rev. H. E. Schneider, Ph. D., is now in Honolulu, on his way to Jaluit, in the Marshall Is. Dr. Schneider is pastor of the Eriedenshalle Chapel in Berlin, and has been devotedly and efficiently engaged in mission work in that city. He has also travelled in evangelistic work among Germans in the United States. It is his present object to inquire into the spiritual needs and opportunities of the German trading stations in the Marshall Is. He purposes also tt»-visit the German stations in New Guinea upon a similar errand. While detained here, Dr. S. is improving the opportunity by holding religious services in German in the Y. M. C. A.

This dear and sweet-natured youth was greatly beloved in his church as one of her most pious and promising children. His teacher, Pres. Merritt, testifies warmly to his promise as a student, and how, "as a Christian boy, he was respected and loved by schoolmates and teachers alike." He had graduated at Punahou in 1888, had taken another year .of preparatory study and of music at Oberlin, and had been admitted to the Freshman class in Oberlin College. A very peculiar interest attaches to his case in the fact that, having gone to Oberlin with business life in view, and having chosen a course in civil engineering, Horace announced to his father in October, 1888, that "I have felt that God was calling me to go and work in his vineyard, in the uncultivated parts, and have prayed that he would show me his will in the matter; at length, after much prayer and wrestling with tiod, I feel that I have a personal call from him to be a missionary, to carry the precious Truth to perishing souls." This plan met with cordial approval at home, and he pursued classical studies with the sacred ministry in view. God, whose thoughts are higher than ours, has removed him from earth, and left broken-hearted parents, whom He will comfort and heal. Those whose children have died far away and with imperfect attendance can feel the mitigation of grief it is to these honored friends that their dear son was in the home of his grandparents, Gen. and Mrs. Van Cleve, of Minneapolis, where, in his severe attack of pneumonia, he received the most skillful and tender treatment, and most motherly and saintlyministering to the spirit as well as the body. He was apparently well advanced in recovery when death came sudden and unexpected from a clot in the heart. Our deepest sympathies attend the mother who had gone in hope to bring home her boy, only to meet the news of his death in San Francisco. Horace was a manly youth, as shown by his joining the Honolulu Rifles at the age of sixteen. He was but eighteen at the time of his death. We had all hoped much from his future course. May the Lord of the vineyard move many young heroic hearts to fill the vacant place in the ranks of his soldiers. Capt. Thos. H. Hobron. We are moved to especial notice of this decease not only as of an esteemed and honored friend, but as of a fellowcitizen of great worth and ability. Our acquaintance with Capt. Hobron began in 1853, when he was master of the clipper schooner Maria, which ran to Lahaina, and was about the first of the swift and comfortable packets of our roa«tincr iicci. fl#»*>t H» nc cn,.n soon hur'inii. uecame fVie me 83 THE FRIEND. proprietor of other vessels, engaged sucThe prosp .tive early development to cessfully in sugar-planting, and ulti- tin \.im i l.imiuliuli tract of choice land mately built the steamer Kiln uea Hon and would alone seem to confirm a brilliant the Kahului Railroad. Capt. Hobron was, like many sailors, somewhat versatile, but invariably successful in his enterprises. This was through sound foresight and thorough good work in all his business. He was of high honor and integrity, public-spirited, liberal in giving, and kind in personal ministrations. Kindly, hearty, sensible, shrewd, intelligent, Capt, Hobron was esteemed and honored by all, and his presence was a welcome one everywhere, although failing health of late years enforced great retirement. Honolulu can boast of a large circle of enterprising, honorable and generous men, yet can ill afford to part with one like Capt. Hobron. The Ewa Water Supply. We have received a copy of the admirable Report made by Messrs J. I). Schuyler and G. 1". Allardt upon the Water Supply for Irrigation on the Honoufiuli and Kahuku Ranchos, on Oahu. Mr. 15. F, Dillingham the projector of the Oahu Railroad, employed these eminent civil engineers to examine and report upon the aforesaid water supply. They found a measured flow of unused water running to waste into the Ewa lochs in large streams amounting to 170.11 cubic feet per second. An immense amount besides in small springs and streams could not be measured. This water nearly all emerges at or near the sea level, and would have to be pumped up in order to be used. This measured flow is sufficient to irrigate 7,000 acres of sugar-cane, and "we have no doubt that the supply can be increased to provide for 10,000 to 12,00a acres if necessary." Most persons will be amazed at the existence of such large bodies of water running to waste in Ewa. Besides this source of supply, these engineers find flowing artesian wells in the district which indicate the possibility of an equal additional supply from that source. They also find good sites for storage reservoirs which might be expected to irrigate from three to four thousand acres of upland without pumping. They report from 4,000 to 5,000 acres of sugar and rice lands on the Kahuku Rancho, which can be irrigated from artesian wells, with little or no pumping. This report contributes valuable and exact information obtained on Maui, as to the amount of water required by sugar-cane, which is a duty of 00 acres average for each cubic foot per second, or an equivalent of 144 inches of rainfall per annum, yielding an average of 3yj tons of sugar per acre. There is also most valuable informatoin as to cost of pumping and of storage reservoirs. A handsome colored map of the Ewa district accompanies the Report. prospect for the future of the Oahu Railroad. The contract for the new building of the North Pacific Mission Institute was awarded to J. Ouderkirk, whose bid was !?8,:527. Mr. H. W. Mcintosh has been engaged as Supervising Architect. The grading for the foundation is now completed and flaming will begin at once. It is expected to have the building completed in four months. About one thousand dollars more are needed to furnish the sixteen suites of rooms in the new building, to grade the whole lot, and to build a new fence on Punchbowl street. The new term of study begins October 7th. While the building is going up recitations will be held in the Session Room of Kawaiahao Church. Dr. Abel Stevens, writing from Yokohama, Japan says:"I have been inspecting the great Asiatic battle-fields, and I report the general conviction of both foreigners and intelligent natives here that the epoch of a grand social and religious revolution has set in in India, Burmah, China, and Japan—that this old Asiatic heathendom is generally giving way before the continually increasing power of Western thought and Christian civilization."

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. It is pleasant to note with how little talk the Pastor's Aid Society was formed on Kauai. We simply heard of it as in process of organization, and went and found it an actually achieved fact, and doing its beneficent work as smoothly and easily as if it had been an institution of long standing. The fact is the reasons for its existence were so urgent, and the conditions so favorable, that it could not help coming into being. On the one hand were the suffering, patient native pastors —their manhood in arrears for lack of being duly fortified with adequate material resources; and on the other hand were those who had the wit to perceive their need and appreciate its meaning as affecting the whole people. We think it was a far sighted wisdom, as well as a generous sensitiveness to fair dealing, that took this matter in hand. Not only are our brethren of the native ministry co-workers with us in the interests of Hawaii, and therefore entitled to be sharers with us in the unprecedented material gains of these days; it is even true, if we will but perceive it, that they stand between us and the ills we dread. They are the rank and file of Hawaii's forlorn hope. Let this consecrated band fail us, and we stand flanked by the enemy. In our fight with paganism we do well to enlist the native Christian and his pastor. If we would make headway against the ever uprising power of idolatry we must work through the native ministry. And we must have a strong native ministry. We must see that they go into the fight well equipped, and while there give them good support. There are those who do not look hope- fully on the work which the native ministers are doing, who even fear their power as often harmful. We are told that they are put into positions of trust which they cannot fill; that they have not the stamina for their work; that they soon lose heart, grow inefficent, and break down under the pressure of evil. Let us look at the facts. The young native pastor goes out from his seminary (as does every young minister) unformed in the sturdier qualities of the Christian leader. This scholarship is in need of being rounded out, and he must develop as a man among men with an approved position. He goes forth to his place conscious of his shortcomings, but hoping to work himself up on to the level of a larger manhood. What does he soon find out, and what is likely to be his first grievous surprise ? It is of the poverty of his surroundings and of the insufticency of his support. He gets hungry and his good clothes wear out. He finds that he must turn aside from the kind of life he had fondly, and in his ardor marked out for himself and work for the mere necessaries of life. There is no help for it; he must live the life of a common native. Like Peter, he goes back to his nets, or you will find him with a malo in a taro patch. The man feels his misfortunes. He may very naturally come to think that he is in a false position, and that he is being wronged. It looks as if his rich white brethren had forgotten him, as if they acknowledged no responsibility toward him; and so there comes to be harbored in the native pastor's soul a bitterness which might never have been there, but for the lack of a little timely help. The Pastor's Aid Society proposes to give that help. It is thought that three hundred dollars a year is as little as any healthy man can get along with. That is a dollar a day for each work da)' as a common laborer; surely estimate. it is not a 85 delegates. There was a union of services held on the Sabbath day, both morning and evening, between the two congregations (the English and the native), at Haili church. The installation of Key. Stephen L. Desha occurred in the morning, and was a very impressive service, each minister, natives and white men having some part. This made thirteen parts in the entire morning service. Kach participant was seated on the platform. A very stimulating gospel temperance service was held in the evening. Mr. Desha takes his pastorate amid favoring circumstances. He has gathered again the long dispersed and thinned congregation, and has a full bouse. He has the sympathy and substantial support of his white biethren. One of the novelties of the Sabbath School gathering which occurred the fourth day of the session of the Association was the Puna Sabbath School which numbered some sixty, children and adults, and which had come (some of them forty miles) over a fearful rough road to take jjart in Saturday's exhibition.

Mrs. Corliss, the widow of the late George H. Corliss, of Providence, K. 1., the eminent inventor and manufacturer, together with the son and daughter of Mr. Corliss, have jnst announced their desire and purpose to erect for the Young Men's Christian Association of Newburyport, Mass., a magnificent build ing, to cost thirty-six thousand dollars. Mrs. Corliss is a native of, and still has her summer home in Newburyport. It was the cherished purpose of Mr. Corliss to erect some handsome memorial in her native city as an expression of his deep love and appreciation of his wife. His final decision was in favor of an Association building, as being the most practical and far-reaching in its benefits to the community. The untimely death of the great inventor prevented the carrying out of the plan, but his family have nobly taken it up, and will make it a memorial to him. No doubt the Association will see to it that it expresses also his original purpose. The Association owns a beautiful lot, finely located, and the building will no doubt be the most attractive in New- • buryport." The above city was the scene of our initial work as a General .Secretary, and our not over hopeful mission was to revive an Association that had been twice dead and burned; through the sympathy and co-operation of friends and the blessing of God the work was a sue cess. During these last ten years the Association has stood unshaken as a beacon light and a refuge to young men in that old and honored city. Although at present in the far-away and fairer clime, we remember with pleasure and gratitude the numerous friends we then found; and sincerely rejoice in the prosperity and good fortune of the Association which is soon to have a suitable home of its own.

A large number of the members and interested friends were present to participate in the joyful ceremony. The New York Association, at the 23d St. branch, was damaged by fire to the extent of $40,000 on Sunday, July 2Hth. Through the coolness of those who saw the danger one hundred and twenty young men, present at a meeting, were enabled to escape without panic or loss of life.

So had those who walk ten squares to an entertainment, and then plead being so tired on pi aver meeting night they can't go to service. Yatntaii. Mr. T. K. Cree, Secretary of the Inter national Committee, has gone to Paris to assist in raising $200,000 for a building for the French Association in that city. He takes with him 460,000 given by B member of the New York Association. The President of the French Republic was recently shown the fine display of Association buildings and literature on exhibition at the Exposition, and being informed in regard to our work expressed much interest in it. We talk about the sacred ministry, the sacred desk, and the sacred calling; but we want sacred offices, sacred banks, sacred stores and sacred shops, and every man in them who names the name of Christ to be an ordained minister of God—to do His work, bear His testimony, lift high the light of the devine life, and scatter the salt which saves the world from corruption, to be witnesses for godliness, righteousness and brotherly kindness. Rev. Dr. George F. Pentcost. Topics. Mar. 26:63-66. Exchange Items. — Confirmations of Scripture come in from many sources just when unbelief is most vehement in its assaults on Scripture. The following, from an exAt Babylon, change, is remarkable Col. Kawlinson found the very hunting diary of Nebuchadnezza ! In it here and there are portraits of the old king's dogs, sketched by himself, and underneath is written the king's name. It is wonderful. But the most wonderful of all is, that in the diary he records thaj he had been very ill, and in the delirium of his sickness he thought he had been 'out to graze like the beasts of the field : ! Now read God's Book (Dan. iv. 32, and so on.) It says he did thus go out senseless and beastlike, to eat grass seven times (years). And to think that twenty-five hundred years afterward, as if to sternly rebuke unbelief of the Holy Word, the clay plates excavated from the ruins of the king's ancient capital should confirm this old book of the prophet Daniel. It is the Book of God ! Some Facts Worth Knowing. 1. There is Young Men's Christian Association work in thirty-nine countries,—among others, in Japan, India, China, Ceylon, Turkey in Asia and Turkey in Europe, Syria, Inland Africa, Germany, Switzerland, France, Great Britain, Holland, Belgium, Australia. Canada, the United States, and in the different countries of Scandanavia. 2. At present there are 3,600 persons who have voluntarily signified their desire and intention, if God wills, to go to foreign fields as missionaries. Some of them will do Association work. One hundred and ten of these volnnteers have already sailed for their fields of labor. This volunteer student movement can be traced directly to the influence of the college Young Men's Christian Associations. 3. Within the last two years, ten men, selected by the Young Men's Christian Associations, have gone from this country to teach in the government schools of Japan. When their day's duties in their respective schools are done, they go out to do Christian work, by explaining the Gospel, answering inquiries, etc. The greater part of their work is a.mongyoung men. The necessities of Japan alone may be imagined when it is stated that the people of an entire nation,' having abandoned their idolatry, are saying: "We are not Buddhists; we are not Shintoists; we are nothing." We need 20,000 laborers, home and foreign, before the year 1900. The city of Tokio, Japan, has 80,000 students. The largest University in the world is said to be in that city. A Young Men's Christian Association has been formed there, and a New York man has contributed $25,000 towards the erection of a building for it; $25,000 more are required. It is one result of the Northfield Summer School of 1887. 4. India affords a magnificent field for Young Men's Christian Association work. There are 3,000,000 young men there who speak Engiish. It is, truly, "the opportunity of the ages." No wonder that such a consecrated worker as David McConaughy, Jr., general secretary of the Philadelphia Young Men's Christian Association, is about to go there for Young Men's Christian Association work. In Madras there are 3,000 students, but not a single Christian in the faculty. �THE FRIEND. An Appalling Statement. The presiding Judge of one of the Chicago courts has recently said to an Inter-Ocean interviewer: "You may ransack the pigeon holes all over the city and country, and look over such annual reports as are made up, but they will not tell half the truth. Not only arc the saloons of Chicago responsible for the cost of the police fon c, the fifteen justice courts, the Bridewell, but also for th ! criminal courts, the county jail, a great portion of Joliet, the long murder trials, the coroner's office, the morgue, the poor bouse, the reform school, the madhouse. Go anywhere you please, and you will find almost invariably that whisky is at the I">ot of the evil. The gambling houses of the city, and the bad houses of the cily, are the direct outgrowth of the boon companions of drink. Of all the thousands of prostitutes of Chicago, tin: downfall of almost every one can he traced to drunkenness on the part of their parents or husbands, or drunkenness on their own part, Of all tin: boys in the reform school at Pontiac, and in the various reformatories about the city, ninety-live per cent, are the children of parents who died through drink, or became criminals through the same cause. Generally speaking, these families go to destruction. The boys turn out thieves, and the girls ami their mothers generally resort to the slums. The sand-baggers, murderers and thugs generally of to-day, who arc prosecuted in the police courts and criminal courts, are the sons of men who fell victims to drink. The percentage in this case is fully ninety-five per cent. I have studied this question for years, and have passed upon criminal cases for years, and know whereof I speak. "This saloon," that "saloon," the other saloons, saloons, saloons, "saloon" figure constantly and universally in the anarchist trial. Conspirators met in saloons; dynamite was discussed in saloons; bombs were distributed over saloons; armed revolutionists were drilled above, under, or in the rear of saloons; treason made assignation in saloons, and time and time again witnesses say, "we went to" such and such "a saloon for wine or beer." There is not a country under the sun in which.lurks so much treason, revolution, and murderous treaty, as in the "saloon" of the United States, and notably in all large cities. These saloon pests harbor thieves, thugs, house-breakers, anarchists, robbers and murderers. Nine-tenths of the lawbreakers in America are hatched in saloons, and the admitted fact is palliated by the axiom that saloons are the headquarters for town, city and even national election gerrymandering. The liquor counter is the scaffold on which a halfhundred beautiful, vital American things are assassinated, and on which scores ol imitation, but in undisputed completehorrid public plagues are glorified. ness.

Road-making is in active progress in the rich but rugged Kona district. Minister Thurston has just been up with his engineer to lay out roads from the sea to the great inland wagon-road.

For coffee-culture, Kona has found as lis immense beds ol yet no rival. crumbling clinker.- recent lava -together with the abundant moisture, form the natural home lot the most fragrant coffee.

Death came by sin. and sin goeth out No evil action can be well done; hut a good one may be ill clone. The Roman Church is said to have six bushels of St. Peter's teeth. The vial of God's wrath dropa, but the fountain of his mercy runs. In the sorest trials God often makes the sweetest discoveries ot himself. The only way to Bee away from God is to flee into Him.—Phillips Brooks. He who waits to do a great good at once, will seldom do any good at ail. God stops his ears against their prayers who stop their ears against his laws. In creation God shows us his hand, but in redemption God gives us his heart. If you would have God hear you when you pray, vnu must hear him when he speaks. Every man has his chain and clog. Let him not drag it, hut bravely lift and carry it. Habits are to the soul what the veins anil arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves. The earnestness and accuracy of our blows is all important; it matters not how far fly the echoes. The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the might of God. Man)- an ob|cct in life must be attained by flank movements. It is the zigzag road that leads to the mountain top. Many indeed think of being happy with God in heaven; but the being happy with God on earth never entes into their thought. The answer to the Sbaster is India; the answer In Confucianism is China; the answer to the Koran is Turkey; the answer to the Bible is the Christian civilization of Protestant Europe and America.

We had one hundred extra copies printed, which were all bought up early. The aiticle was reprinted in the August number of the Paradise of the Pacific, which we believe can still be obtained of the publishers. A great number of warm commendatory expressions have reached us, and not i whisper of any adverse feeling. In fact, our whole community seems to have been in a state of very hearty disgust at the absurd craze into which many people in England and America have been led about certain fictitious merits imputed to Father Damien, and of indignation at the slanderous charges of neglect of the lepers by this Government. The only approach to censure we have encountered, was for having been too moderate, and having suppressed so much that might have been said. All, however, have recognized the necessity of reserve in speaking of one who is gone, and who with all his faults may be regarded as a very benevolent and devoted man. The N. Y. Independent has kindly adopted our statements, and sent them forth under its own editorial authority, having doubtless been fully advised of their correctness. The Christian Union carps at the strong official evidence we adduced, and makes no concessions, as it might easily have done, having evidently had no information from reliable sources.

VOYAGE TO THE SANDWICH ISLANDS, AND RESIDENCE AT WOAHOO. June 25. * * At two o'clock p.m. we could plainly distinguish the huts, canoes, and persons of the natives on the seashore—some employed in fishing, others in mending their nets. The shipping and smoke of Hannah-rourah, the capital of the Sandwich Islands, soon after came into view, and the approach of some boats and canoes kept us all in a state of agreeable excitement. At three o'clock we anchored in the roadstead, and received visits from several American residents. They assured us that no danger was to be apprehended from the natives, with whom they had been accustomed to live upon the most amicable footing, and that some missionaries and their families were likewise established here. Mr. Jones, the American Consul, kindly offered me accommodation for the night, which I accepted, and immediately accompanied him upon shore, leaving my fellowpassengers, who were less eager and impatient, to follow the next day. Upon landing we were immediately surrounded by a mob of men, women, and children, who pressed forward to shake me by the hand, and eyed me with great apparent curiosity. They were all dressed an naturel, or nearly so, with nothing but the maro, a cincture of cloth made from the paper-mulberry tree, round their waists; their cries were most discordant, and the clatter of women's tongues not the least audible. I afterwards found out that they were settling a nickname for me, in allusion to some peculiarity in my dress or person. * Having � ' * * thus encountered their jokes on first landing, I went with the Consul to the palace of the King, if such a term can be applied to a grass hut, floored with mats, and only distinguished from the rest by a few cannon placed about it, in terrorem. Imagination had pictured the monarch sitting in the midst of his chiefs with dignified composure, his interpreter on one side and secretary on the other (for he really has two such officers); and as the subject of a brother king, I anticipated a most gracious reception. What then was my astonishment on entering the royal hut! "Oh, majesty! Oh, high ambition, lowly laid!" The royal beast lay sprawling on the ground in a state of total drunkenness and insensibility. On one side of his head was extended an enormous sow, which every now and then gave a grunt, as if in sympathy with its master; and upon the other side sat his Queen, an immense woman, like,him, almost in a state of primitive nudity, who seemed [Septmbr, 1889. endeavoring, though in vain, by her but it was evident that she had gone too caresses, to assuage his beastly trans- far already. She did not hesitate to own ports: a few chiefs and domestics, in all her frailty, indeed, and said that as her about twenty, completed the group— some asleep, others fanning away the flies, and singing the wildest and harshest lullaby that ever saluted mortal ears. We then passed into another room belonging to the head Queen; who, though equally large in her person, had a benevolent and pleasing cast of countenance. She was dressed in a loose robe of FLnglish chintz, and to my delight, was engaged in learning to write, which she had only attempted within a few days. She showed me her performance on the slate with great eagerness; and well she might, for the letters were by no means badly formed. I then underwent, as on my first landing, a thorough examination, during which her Majesty often laughed immoderately, and ended her remarks by saying that I was a mere child, and had no beard. The ground part of the apartment was matted, and the walls hung round with mats, and a large and handsome mirror on one side, and upon the whole had a comfortable appearance; though the furniture, comprising several Chinese chests, a mahogany table, and three matted bedsteads—in addition to the living furniture, comprising her Majesty the Queen and her numerous attendants, who lay extended on the floor in different attitudes, and kept up an incessant singing sort of noise—gave to the whole scene a truly fantastic character. Mr. Jones accommodated me at night with a bed in his hut, and introduced me the next morning to the other American residents, who were all sea-faring men, and had come to this place to carry on a trade for sandal wood. We then paid a second visit to the King, who had by this time recovered a little from the debauch of the preceding night. He shook me heartily by the hand, and was pleased at hearing that I was an saying that his Islands belonged to the King of Great Britain, to whom they had been formerly surrendered in Vancouver's time, by his father, old Tama-hama-hah, and desiring me to apply to him for anything I might want during my stay. He afterward said that he was too much intoxicated to talk with me any longer at the moment, but hoped to be sober in the course of a few days, and in the meantime would have the Queen to do the honors of the house. We were ushered accordingly into the inner apartment, where a third lady, whom 1 had not yet seen, presided at a table which groaned under the weight of bottles of wine, and almost every spirituous liquor. I immediately drank her health in a glass of wine; but she, to my great surprise, pledged me in a good tumblerful of gin, and quaffed it off at one draught as if it had been husband had been enjoying a drinking- bout, she had a right to take the same license herself. She then began to tumble about the room, and sing, or rather utter, discordant cries after the fashion of the country, until I could bear the sight no longer, and turned away in disgust, lamenting the beastly excesses to which the human creature is carried in a natural and unenlightened state. The mere arts of civilization and intercourse with liuropeans are evidently insufficient to elevate the character, or correct the immoral habits, of men in such a state of society. This is reserved for an infinitely more powerful and influential cause, namely, the Christian dispensation; and who then, that had witnessed such a scene in life as I have here cursorily described, but would feel most anxious to impart the blessings of Christianity to these rude islanders? So thinking, I directed my steps to the dwelling of some American Missionaries, who had arrived a few months ago, and my visit was altogether most gratifying. Their house, a little distant from the village, is built of wood, brought with them ready prepared from America, and is sufficiently large for the accommodation of four missionaries, with their wives and families; of whom the principal, Mr. Bingham, seemed very active and zealous in the discharge of his missionary duties. Three English gentlemen were on a visit to them; namely Mr. lvllis, a missionary from Otaheite, and Messrs. Bennet and Tyerman, sent out by the London missionary society to inspect all their different stations. They had taken advantage of an opportunity which offered from Otaheite to visit the Sandwich Islands, and were agreeably surprised to find that a beginning had been already made in the work of propagating the Christian religion among them. Mr. Ellis found the language analogous to that of the Society Islands, with which he was perfectly acquainted; and having brought some converted natives from thence with him, their united exertions proved of great use to Mr. Bingham and his associates. Mr. Ellia gave me much interesting information respecting the past and present state of Otaheite and its dependencies. The efforts of the Missionaries have at length been attended by success; as a proof of which he said the King, with the greater part of his subjects, are now not only good moral Christians, but sufficiently well instructed to be able to read the Gospel and other religious books which have been translated into the language of the country, and they cooperate zealously in the propagation of Christian knowledge among the adjacent islands. With regard to the Sandwich Islands, water." The fourth and last Queen was next it ci nnot be expected that any beneficial introduced, and made a similar libation; result should be perceived in the short �Volume 47, No. 9.] space of a few months after the arrival of the missionaries. It is enough that a beginning is made, and facilitated by several favorable circumstances, of which the following is the most important; namely, the previous abolition of idolatry. Upon the King, * meanwhile, depends in a great measure the nominal conversion of his subjects, for many of them have repeatedly told the missionaries, that before they can attend earnestly to the new religion, they must have the King's express declaration in its favor. The chief obstacle to its progress is perhaps the enmity and unchristian conduct ef the F-uropean and American residents, who are most of them directly or indirectly opposed to the cause of religion, as well from their habits of life, as because they perceive that when the natives become instructed in useful knowledge, their own mental superiority will cease, and with it the attendant influence they now possess. But these evils cure themselves; already has the bad conduct of the whites prepossessed the Sandwich Islanders against them, and their influence will no doubt dailydecrease, in proportion as the march of religious civilization advances. June 27.—This day I again visited the King, who lay as usual on the ground, in the costume of a common sailor. He was surrounded by sixteen Chiefs, sitting on chairs, and newly dressed in blue nankeen clothes which had just been brought from China in an American brig. Some displayed watchchains, and all seemed very proud of their new dresses, particularly as they were a present from his Majesty. They shook me by the hand very cordially, and with an air of most consequential satisfaction. The principal Queen was engaged within the hut with Mr. F2llis in learning to read and write. The favorite Queen lay on the ground by the King, like him in the fashionable dishabille of the island. The swine too, which I had before noticed, were still in the apartment, and quietly reposed not far from their Royal master and mistress: so much for the beauty of a state of nature! * * * The prospect which presented itself from the verge of this hill (Diamond Head) was not less beautiful than extensive: a small but fertile plain ten or twelve miles in length, tarrowplantations, cocoa-nut and other trees, and uncultivated moss-ground, interspersed with villages and cottages. Among these, Whyteete and Hannahrourah, the latter distinguished by its port and shipping, were particularly observable. causes of * * * Among other beach-comber complaint, he (an in Koolau) inveighed bitterly and with truth against the tyranny of the chiefs, who claim a right to possess all private property which is acquired upon their 73 THE FRIEND. sity delivered up, sooner or later, to the Chief whom they serve.

He was a Spaniard by birth, and spoke English remarkably well. He gave me some wine made by himself from a grape grown in the country, which he had been the first to introduce. He showed me his farm-yard, and grounds adjoining, stocked with a herd of fine cattle, the only cattle in the island, and with goats, pigs, poultry, and pigeons, and some horses of an inferior South American breed, of his own importation. He had several plantations of tarrow and sweet potatoes in the interior; and besides the vine, was endeavouring to cultivate other vegetable productions, such as the cotton-tree, maize, pease, beans, etc. Of all he showed me samples; some I had seen successfully cultivated elsewhere. He spoke much of the fertility of the soil, and assured me that if the natives could by any means be forced into habits of regular industry, they might turn the whole country into a garden, and export cotton to China. He entertained no hopes, however, of such a change. I remarked that it might gradually be brought about by the influence of religion on their minds and moral conduct, which he did not appear to understand; nor was he disposed to depart from the prejudices of his associates against the Missionaries, to whose exertions in the work of civilizing these people he was evidently opposed. As a trader and farmer his industry, sobriety, and good management, were highly meritorious, and it would be well for the country if there were more such settleis in it; but in other respects, his mind soared very little, if at all, above his Indian neighbors. I attended Divine Sunday 28th. service, and heard a very good discourse delivered"!))- Mr. Bingham. Not many of the white residents were present, and but few natives. Kaahumanu, one of the chieftainesses, and a sister of Coxe, who had distinguished herself sometime before in burning the few remaining idols and destroying every vestige of idolatry at Owhyhee, was specially invited, and had promised to attend. A sudden whim, however, seized her to go to Whyteete; and there she spent the day bathing, and playing in the surf with a host of equally frolicsome companions. — >;: * * * Monday, 29th. —Upon visiting the King to-day the house really presented a novel and interesting sight. At least thirty natives of both sexes were present, most of them, the King and his Queens among the rest, engaged in learning to read and write. * * Mrs. Bingham's school, containing upwards of fifty pupils, is already far enough advanced to give a satisfactory assurance of ultimate success. The young Prince, Kau-ke-oule, heir and nephew to the King, about 12 years old, is one of the most promising scholars; and the importance of giving him such an educationas may render his government beneficial to the whole community hereafter, is very sensibly felt by his instructors. * * * August 10.—On the afternoon of this day, having taken in all our freight of sandal-wood and made every preliminary arrangement, we finally left Woahoo and the Sandwich Islands. It was jpolicy, perhaps after all, which led Tama hama-hah to encourage the priests and their religion. Their assistance helped to strengthen his power, and the abject fear thereby created in the minds of the people was constantly turned by him to their mutual advantage. Arbitrary measures, on the ground of religion on the one hand, and slavish, reverential obedience on the other, were thus rendered habitual to both parties, and no one dared to resist the united authority of church and state, enforced by a King of acknowledged courage and abilities. The last dying words of Tama-hamahah to his son, enjoined upon him the protection of foreigners, and the cultivation of a friendly intercourse with all nations. He pointed out their great superiority in the arts both of war and peace, the riches and consequent advantages which an extended commerce with them would" confer, and the opposite evils which were likely to follow disagreements with such powerful ad- versaries. This arbitrary system is a sad hindrance to the prosperity of the tenant; for if he be disposed to be industrious, and bring his land into good cultivation, or raise a good breed of live stock, and becomes rich in possessions, the Chief is soon informed of it, and the property is seized for his use, while the farmer loses the fruit of all his labors. * * Murders and robberies accompanied by violence are absolutely unknown. The word of a chief in the Sand*wich* Islands may be relied on, and their minds have, from some cause, acquired an elevation or conscious sense of superiority. This is discoverable at first sight in their gait and manner; and in stature they are, with few exceptions, much taller than the common people, and consequently much respected by them. * * 1 have been informed that during the last eighteen months from 35,000 to 40,000 peculs of sandal-wood have been sent to Canton, which at the rate of ten dollars per pecul, the usual price, brings into the hands of the King and trading chiefs a clear receipt of 350,000 or 400,000 dollars, paid in goods bearing that nominal value. * How far the use of ava, which formerly prevailed but is now in a great measure discontinued, might have been attended with still worse consequences (than the use of gin) is an inquiry that cannot easily be answered. • ISeptmbr, 1889. Hon. H. P. Baldwin is about to purchase an organ for the Makawao church. The Tramcars are becoming a great convenience, and will soon seem an indispensable necessity, like the Telephone. The Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Dwinell returned home per Zealandia on the 34th. They had greatly endeared themselves to our church people. We have been mentally and spiritually enriched in a high degree by Dr. Dwinell's ministrations, both in the pulpit, and in the prayer-meeting. The Inter-island Telegraph Cable is in progress. The section across Molo- kai channel is in working order. A slight hindrance has occurred in laying the Oahu channel section, of fort}' miles. We may expect to "be speedily in free communication with our friends all over the windward islands. Oahu Railroad is preparing to give us all rides very soon. Sleepers and rails are piling up at the terminus; a strong force of graders are closing the gaps between this and Kalihi, where a fine bridge is in place. Moanalua bridge is building. Thence to Aiea, nine miles, the track is mostly graded. The tremendous growth and expansion of the Pacific States and British Columbia points to an early date for the laying of Pacific cables via Honolulu, and to the establishment of at least weekly steamship lines. I-A-erything is booming over there. Honolulu must soon be "in the swim." In fact, we are already feeling the electric impulses. Our venerable friend Mr. E. Bailey favors us with a letter from Tacoma, W. T., en route for Alaska. "This new, crisp, and lively town which has set itself down on the steep bank of the straits which commence here and extend along up the coast for a thousand miles or more." What a future dimly reveals itself for that long sea-channel that reaches to where the northern ice first touches the Pacific. We took our folks, babies and all, to the top of Punch Bowl on the 23rdThe road was rather heavy, not being rolled, but otherwise mostly in good order. We drove down in less than fifteen minutes, and with no less sense of security than on Nuuanu Avenue. We congratulate the residents of this city, and all visitors, on so delightful an addition to our enjoyments and sources of attraction, as this facile means of access to one of the noblest of panoramas. The ever-changing and enlarging views on the ascent are very fascinating. One of the sweetest things is the sudden vision over the splendid Pauoa greenery as you come up on the inland outlook. -Who has got a fine fancy name for that delicious natural balcony? �Volume 47, No. 9.1 In view of the active progress and growth of all material and mental civilization around us and among us, nothing could be more fatuous and idiotic than for a set of discontented natives and half-whites to attempt to overturn our improved Government, and to ievert to old heathen, despotic ways of administration, No winder that the King could not see his way to join in such a movement. With all its iniquity, it partook of childishness. To our minds, no great severity in called for in dealing with the actors in this foolish emeute. Some penalty is called for, but w; are in favor of great leniency, especially to the subordinates. Indeed, the leader:; themselves were like a set of foolish cattle dashing against the locomotive of modern progress. They got badly smashed up. For the rest of their punishment let them oft mercifully, as the United States did the rebels in 1865. It should be borne in mind, and un doubtedly is borne in mind by our authorities, that this blind emeute was largely stimulated by a certain sentiment which, if wisely directed, is most honorable and praiseworthy- the sentiment of Nationality. The Hawaiian loves his country and his race, and has a reasonable pride in it. He cannot be blamed if it deeply pains him to see the power, once in the hands of native chiefs. largely passed over into the abler hands of white men. Although this is inevitable, and for the best interests of all parties, it is nevertheless somewhat grievous to the Hawaiian. Many of them, especially o( the half-whites, necessarily do take this deeply and genuinely to heart. For this reason, it has been the policy of the government always to favor men of the native race, where at all competent, in the distribution of official positions. We think that these feelings should be especially considered, in estimating the guilt of the insurrectionists, and in dealing with them. We do not regard them as having acted from a mere desire for pt wcr and pelf, but also from a strong though not a just sense that the natives had the right to hold the controlling power. It does not seem wise, therefore, to ignore this "national" feeling as an element in determining their guilt. The sympathisers and actors in this unhappy affair need to be educated rather than punished, and their crushing defeat is an education. 75 THE FRIEND. We ask especial attention to the closparagraph of Mr. Beckwith's dis- ing use on the insurrection, as given on ninth page. Now is the time that all good men should be incited to do iheii utmost in behalf of the Hawaii,ti. people—to uplift them, to enlighten them, to st. y the progress of their decimation, to make them sharers to the full in all our prosperity. If any have felt a momentary resentment because the sympathizers in the late insurrection are chiefly Hawaiians, let all such feeling be put away. Let a spirit of cordial regard prevail, and hearty sympathy with these kind and true-hearted people. How much our civilization and prosperity owe to Hawaiians for their free and cordial co-operation with all true and friendly foreigners. And we need their help now. We need all the aid and accordant action that can be had, from the native people. Let us bestir ourselves, in all active and friendly exertion in their behalf. We never cm Gorget or be insensible to the long and affectionate attachment of the Hawaiian people. May nothing be allowed to alienate it. ci OUI Our venerated father in the Church, Rev. Dr.* James R. Boyd, has been called to a brief separation from the.beloved paitner of his life. Dr. and Mrs. Boyd are affectionately remembered by their many friends in Honolulu. Our sympathetic regard is extended to Mrs. A. F. Judd, to whom comes this added bereavement after the death ofher sister, Mrs. Stuart Dodge. Mrs. W. W.

Of the three grandchildren then born, one had congenital disease of the spinal cord, one a deficiency of the heart and the circulatory apparatus, and the third was an instance of generally arrested development. The results among people are found to be similar. Beware of marrying a habitual drinker, orthe son of a drunkard. High—Churchism Disparages God. Catholicism is but colossal individual- ism. God's grace is too rich to be con- fined to any one channel, too boundless to be bound to councils or coteries or oiders of men, infirm and fallible like all their kind. It is a position capable of the clearest historical proof to"affirm that the higher the theory of the Church the meaner the conception of God, or that the grow ih of High Church doctrine is always coincident with the decay of the highest theistic belief. An absolute or infallible church means a limited God, a God whose working men condition, whose grace they regulate and distribute. The more worthily churches think of Ciod, the more will the}' feel the fallibility of all their popes and pastors. The more infinitely good and gracious He seems, the less will they feel able to claim to be his sole and adequate representatives. The vessel magnified is the M. Fairbatrn. treasure Apart from all disputed points of no one practically doubts that our I ord lived, and that he died on the criticism, Cross, in the most intense sense of filial relation to his Father in heaven, and that he bore testimony to that Fathers providence, love, and grace towards mankind. The Lord's Prayer affords sufficient evidence upon- these points. If the Sermon upon the Mount alone be added, the whole unseen world, of which the Agnostic refuses to know anything, stands unveiled before us. There you see revealed the Divine Father and Creator of all things, in personal relation to his creatures, hearing their prayers, witnessing their actions, earing for them and rewarding them. There you hear of a future judgment administered by Christ himself, and of a heaven to be hereafter revealed, in which those who live as the children of that Father, and who sutler in the cause and for the sake of Christ himself, will be abundantly rewarded. If Jesus Christ preached that sermon, made those promises, and taught that prayer, then anyone who says that we know nothing of God, or of a future life, or of an unseen world, says that he does not believe Jesus Christ.

Emerson, 77 THE FRIEND. - Editor, From the Chinese Recorder of July, we learn that Dr. Gulick had been very low indeed at Kumamoto. At last accounts he and Mrs. Gulick were staying in Oakland, Cal., with Mrs. Sturges, their old associate in pioneer work at Ponape. It is understood to be not wholly unlikely that they will revisit the Islands. A warm welcome would meet our former Secretary after twenty-three years absence from his native land, spent in arduous labors in Italy, Japan and China. students to get food. Class work, if not at first altogether prevented, was much broken into, and at last inevitably relinquished. The appeal made by Mr. Kobinson, based on statements culled from private letters, although a great surprise to all the 1.. M.'s missionaries, was none the less most opportune, and, in enabling us to carry on our higher education work, most useful. The results of that appeal, consisting of 15 tons cwt. rice, 3 tons sugar, 1 cwt. potatoes, 20 tins (50 pounds eactl) biscuits, 20 tins, (50 pounds each) flour, and a case of provisions have been already received. We are further advised that 40 tins biscuits, and 5 cwt. rice are now on their way here in the Society's ship Harrier. Hon. C. R. Bishop, previous to his return, remitted a donation of $1,(10(1 to Dr. Hyde to be applied towards the proposed new buildings of the North Pacific Mission Institute. This brings the sum in hand nearly up to the amount ab- solutely necessary for the purpose. But very much more is needed to put the Institute in comfortable shape.

There ore no difiiculties or obstacles compared to those within the Church itself; and these are a want of spirituality, of consecration, of a sense ofresponsibility and of devotion to the great work of soul-saving. The great need now, as it was when our Lord went up from Olivet, is a Pentecostal baptism. The sails are set, but the breeze which now flaps them so idly needs to freshen into a gale. The machinery is all ready, but it waits for the fire which shall make every band and wheel throb with life. Only the picket line of the Lord's countless hosts are on duty.

Those who wrote it, were for the most part, cheerful men. God endures us when we offened him; let us endure him when he tries us; endurance is one of the names of love. There is no liberty to men whose passions are stronger than their religious feelings; there is no liberty to men in whom ignorance predominates over knowledge; there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves. God has special care of the aged. When the grasshopper is a burden, and the windows are darkened, he opens their way to other worlds. If they have grown old in religion, he sends his angels to await their translation. It is good to join with the angels in ministries of kindness.

They may seem great a little way off, but, somehow, they always diminish or vanish altogether as we come near them.

We all understand the kind of thing which is meant by people who talk of Muscular Christianity. It is certainly a noble and excellent thing to make people discern that .1 good Christian need not be a muff (pardon the sbmg term: there is no other that would bear out my meaning). It is a fine thing to make it plain that manliness and dash may co exist with pure moralit] and sincere piety. It is a fine thing to make young fellows comprehend that there is nothing line and manly in being bad, and nothing unmanly in being good. It is a splendid combination, pluck and daring in their highest degree with an unaffected regard. In religion and religious duties; in ahorl muscularity with Christianity. But there are folks whose admiration of the musculrr is very great; but whose regard for the Christianity is very small. They are captivated by the dash and glitter of physical pluck: they are quite content to accept it without any Christianity, and even without the most ordinary morality and decency. They appear, indeed, to think that the grandeur of the character is increased by the combination of thorough blackguardism with high physical qualifications; their gospel, in short, may be said to be that of unchristian muscuI confess that larity. I cannot find words strong enough to express my contempt and abhorrence for the theory of life and character which is assumed by the writers who describe such blackguards, and by the fools who admire them. And though very far from saying or thinking that the kind of human being who has been described, is no worse than disagreeable, I assert with entire confidence that to ail right thinking men, he is more disagreeable than almost any other kind of human being. And Ido not know any .single lesson you could instill into a youthful mind which would be so mischievous, as the lesson that the muscular blackguard-should be regarded with any other feeling than that of pure loathing and disgust. A man consists of bod) and soul, and both would be in ideal perfection if the soul were decidedly Christian and the body decidedly muscular.—Every Day serving on committees.

In the last fifty years the Knglish mind has been greatly liberalized and humanized. Macaulay has led the Knglish people to re-read their history, and revise the old Tory verdicts on great men and great epochs. Darwin and Huxley have given the theology ot the nation and of the age some facts and theories which have led to new and better statements of truth. Thomas Arnold and his pupils have given a higher tone to Knglish education. '1 hackeray has exposed the follies of high life and punctured many a wicked pretension. George Elliot has shown the seriousness of human existence, and portrayed, with unrivalled artistic power, the working of the all pervading moral law. Charles Dickens, by his broad and genial humanity, and his hatred of all cruelties and shams, largely contributed to the amelioration of humau sorrows and the hi caking down of the walls of unchristian feeling. Cobden and Bright raised the artisan class to a position both of personal comfort and political power never before reached. Gladstone has led the progressive elements of England to a score of victories, and made class rule a future impossibility. It is significant that the time of this moral advancement has been the time when the churches have added to their numbers as never before in the history of Christianity.— J. H. Barrows, D. D. The editors continue to poke fun at the performances of the modern quar tette choirs. This piece, which has been floating around among our exchanges for some time, is a sample: 'Off started the nimble soprano with the very laudable though startling announcement, ■! will wash.' Straightway the alto, not to be undone, declared she would wash. And the tenor, finding it to be the thing, warbled forth he would wash. Then the deep-chested basso, as though calling up all his fortitude for the plunge, bellowed forth the stern resolve that he would wash. Next a short interlude on the organ strongly suggestive of escaping Steam, or splash of the waves, after which the choir individually and collectively asserted the firm, unshaken resolve that they would wash. At last they solved the problem, stating that they proposed to 'wash their hands in innocency, so will the altar of the Lord be compassed.'" Michigan Advocate. : Our happy city has had a day of terror. Our peaceful streets have heard just a little of the sound of battle. Our quiet citizen's have had an hour's dread of mutiny and massacre. Our defenceless homes have had a wear. night of watching in fear of the torch and of pillage. And all from the wrath of a handfull of plotting and perjured men, rising up in their rage against the right for the overthrow of law and order. For that was what they wanted, the oh! regime of spoils and corruption back again. They had lost their clutch upon the nation's revenues by the new order of things, just as Sennacherib lost his extorted tribute when Judah came back to decency and duty. And it angered them. They wanted no reform. It was The) not in the line ol their plans. had no sympathy with the new order of things. They did not care to stop the vices that were consuming us, or to have away the idolatries that were being set up among us, or to hinder the wasting of the revenues that was impoverishish us. or to end the corrupting of the people that was taking the nation back to its old time tyrannies, or even to wipe out the shame of the batterings and the briberies that were bringing upon us the scorn of the world. None of these things. The)- just wanted spoils, and place, and power. And because the) had lost them, the) plotted insurrection. -i- * * Then finally, and this 1 believe to be the chief providential significance ol it this outbreak is God's voice to us, summoning us to our duty to this neglected people. We have lifted them up a little way into the light of Christian civilization, and then have left them to grope their way alone. And the onlymarvel is that they have not groped more blindly, as they will, if. the) are not taken more closely into our Christian sympathy, and taught more persistently the things that make for peace and prosperity. Its our only safety, the regeneration of Hawaii nei. And so the echo ol that day ot terror seems to me God's summons to us to put ourselves into the closest possible sympathy with this dear people; to pour out our prayers for them; to consecrate our activities to them; to devote our wealth to their enlightenment, to spare no love, no time, no money, no men, that may be needed, for the speediest, and completest evengelixatiori of all this Hawaiian people. Let us listen to it so, and in a little, by the new love that will bind them and us together, and by the better manhood into which they will have come, and the perpetual peace we shall have in all our borders, we shall understand right well how God makes the wrath of man to praise him. The atheist and Positivist Frederic Harrison is very earnestly busy upon erecting Humanity into an object of worship. He says The old anthropomorphic '>od of Abraham : . of Calvin and Bossuet, was a and Moses, very real, active, intelligible, active, moral rulei earth, of this with most of the attributes, feelings and passions of man idealized.

The italicizing is the Christian Union's. That paper says: It tins shocks the moralist and the philosophei so much the worse for his morals and Ins philosophy. We cannot worship an Eternal and Infinite energy, nor love a Stream-of-Tend ency. nor swear allegiance to a Power notour selves that-makes-for Righteouness, nor rejoice in the benignant Providence and Saving Grace of the Absolute and Unconditioned 'defecated to Mr. Harrison assures us a pure transparency.' that these are the gods whom the modern philos ophcr and the modern moralist, shocked at the anthropomorphism of the Bible, offers us in place of the Jehovah of the Old Testament, and the Christ of the New Testament; and that the offer is endorsed by some dignitaries high in the Church of Kngland... Human companions are better than divine companions carved out of the fog. To worship such gods is as impossible as to warm one's self by the Aurora Horealis. of to day. Where the open Bible has not gone, there to-day is darkness illimitable. Where that Bible has gone, partly open and partly closed, there is a dawning of the day. And where it is an open Bible and a free page and a well read one, there is the illumination of civilization. We hear much praise of the illumination of the nineteenth century. Is there no nineteenth century in China? Is there no nineteenth century in Turkey? In India? In Siberia? In Russia? Hang the map of the world there before you, and look at it. All China dark; all India dark; all Africa black with darkness; gray lines �on Russia, where there is a half open Bible; gray lines on Italy and Spain, where there is a half open Bible; and the tints growing lighter and lighter as the pages of the Bible become more open, until at last you reach England arid America, where the hands hold aloft the open Bible; and there, and there only, is there the light of our boasted nineteenth century —the light that streams, not from the book, not from the lid or cover or printed page or any such thing, but the light that streams from the living Christ.—Lyman Abbott. The Civil War could never have been fought to its successful issue but for the deep and divine emotions which found expression in such a hymn as the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." The nation that had no religion could never have sung that hymn; and the nation that could not sing that hymn could never have endured Vicksburg and Antietam and Gettysburg and the Wilderness. Kxpediency would never have had force enough to set the enslaved free. It will not furnish force enough to close the liquor shops, or to promote the equalization of wealth;-or to harmonize the strained relations between employer and employed; or to thwart the scheming politician, break the power of the machine, purify our elections and banish bribery and corruption from the polls, or to establish a just and merciful prison system—or in a word, to do any one of the things which this nation must do, not only to fulfil its true function in the world's history, but even to preserve its National life. Secularism never carried a nation through any great crisis or crowned any nation with the crown of a great achievement; and it is safe to prophesy that it never will.— Christian Union. We have previously referred to some of the replies to Canon Taylor, but the following, taken from the London Record, is decidedly the most pungent of any we remember, to have seen: Sir: Canon Tavlor, in the Fortnightly Revieie, judges, by comparison of expenditure with results, mission eliort to have failed. He counts non-Christian people at i1'20,000,000, and estimates the annual outlay for their conversion at £•..',000,000; that is £1 for each 400, or rather more than an annual half-penny a head. Yet he says, "Clearly there is no lack of men or means." friends abroad may justly take umbrage that their souls are estimated by him in value at I-457 of the value of the folk of Settrington! I omit, to preserve to simplicity of the compailson. such other factors of the equations as the enormous difficulty of the task of christianizing people out of heathenism contrasted with keeping Christian a parish christianized so many centuries ago. It is, indeed, humiliating to enter into such statistical contention with the clergyman in question. But he has appealed to figures and statistics; to figures and statistics he must go—Sun sihi hnne glaiio fu/rulo. GSOMI F.nsor. 80 THE FRIEND. WOODLAWN DAIRY fe STOCK COMPANY, MILK, CREAM, BUTTER.

C A Sunset Glows Again Punchbowl Road Volcanic Forma'ions in the Vicinity of Punahou Y. 67-8S 89 "0 Cover " Vitality of Christian Civilization. Some observations made by Rev. Dr. Dwinell at the Wednesday evening prayer-meeting, on the unhappy affair of the day before, appeared so fitting and instructive, that we requested him to expand them in writing, as he has kindly done in the following paragraphs: It has long been observed that a plant or tree that is vigorous aud full of vitality is not so likely to be attacked by parasites or disease, and when attacked is not so easily overcome as others. Roots in a good rich soil and fine dressing and culture are the best security against the enemies of the garden and of the farm or plantation. The way in which the recent civil disorder in this city has been thrown off by the community shows the vitality of its civil and political institutions. Governments whose roots do not go down into the intelligence and virtue of the people, and that do not rest on a public sentiment of law and order, respect for property and personal rights, when assailed by political adventurers and that element in society that feels it has nothing to lose and everything to gain by revolution, must take the consequences. There is no inherent energy in them instantly to rise and throw off the menace. The factions must be left to fight it out, not along the lines of law and order, or the public good, or of the rights involved, but of partizanship, personal ambition, and often of their own mad passions and lusts. The trouble begun, no one can tell when it will end. It may become Number 8. chronic, and the whole civil condition political revolution.

Southern Polynesia. Schooner Twilight, ) Easter Sunday. ) > As our voyage is beginning to draw to a close, for we crossed the liquator into our own Hemisphere about breakfast time, 1 am going to redeem a long since made promise and tell you something about the islands of the Southern Pacific. Unfortunately bad weatherhas very much detained us, and 1 have only been able to visit Tahiti and two of our own islands. We sighted Tahiti on Thursday, seventh of March, but the bad weather was just beginning and we could really only just catch glimpses ofit through the clouds every now and then. On Saturday we tried to run into Papeete, but although only about 10 miles off at 6 a.m., and Tahiti is 7,321 feet high we could see nothing whatever. Hoping, however, that it would clear up we still went on, but one blinding squall set in after another and finally it fell calm with a very heavy sea running, during which we drifted on to one of the fringing reefs, and although we could not have been a quarter of a mile off the beach and the light-house at Point Venus, nothing however, was visible, and it was dark enough for six in the evening. About noon we saw the green water close astern of us and we were rapidly approaching it-—both current and sea setting us on. Soon we were right on the reef but as there were no breakers visible as yet, we got one boat out and anchors ready, so as to be prepared for the worst, as we were utterly helpless. I once heard Mr. Spurgeon preach from the text, "Call upon me in the time of trouble," etc—this came to my recollection now in a very forcible manner, and I gave it to the Captain for his comfort also, and we both felt its truth, for presently as we were expecting to see breakers every minute a light land breeze sprang up and took us out of immediate danger, though the next eight or nine hours were spent in anxiously beating her clear of the reefs and into open water. The next day, Sunday, the weather cleared up, and all hands had a good rest, and our afternoon service was full of thanksgiving. On Monday the glorious yueen of the Pacific shone out in all its loveliness, green as an emerald, encircled with lines of white, foamy breakers on the coral reefs, and with innumerable waterfalls streaming down its mountain sides like chains of diamonds flashing in the sun. We presently welcomed the pilot on board, and were soon safely anchored in beautiful Papeete Harbor—after, as far as I was concerned, an absence of eight years. Here we heard a sad account of the damage done by the storm of Saturday (in which we so nearly came to grief), roads and bridges washed away, houses flooded, trees washed down, and the whole place a perfect wreck. The road to Fautawa, the beautiful country house of my friends Mr. and Mrs. Darsie, whose guest I was, had been completely washed away, the river having changed its course and cut a channel fully 10 feet deep right through the road, making it impassable except on foot through the adjacent bush. Later on, however, bridle paths were cut and we were able to do the two miles on horseback. You do not, however, want personal details, but some account of the present position of the islands. I was very glad to hear that a largely' increased interest in the higher things has been shewn by the natives of Tahiti, particularly during the last few months. Since my last visit, or. the departure of my friend the Rev. J. L. Green, the London Missionary Society has transferred its work to the French Protestant Church. Mr. Green had labored for twenty-two or twenty-four years, first in Tahaa, one of the Leeward Islands, and then in Tahiti, and retired for a well earned rest. I learnt in Papeete, however, that he has girded liimself afresh for the fight and gone out to Dcinerara, to exercise a kind of Episcopal oversight of the churches in that Colony. Tahiti is now divided between three French Pastors. M. M. Vernier and Vienot, who have lived in Papeete for many years, the latter gentelman devoting himself principally to educational matters, and the former being Pastor of the large native church in Papeete, this church answering in some degree to your Kawaiahao, only smaller—unlike Kawaiahao, however, it is generally densely crowded. Monsieur Dr. Pomarez lives at the eastern end of Tahiti, and the native churches which are verynumerous and largely attended, are more or less under the oversight of these three gtntelmen in what I imagine is the true or earl)- episcopal sense. Mons. Brunn, who has lived for many years in Moorea, the adjacent island, only separated from Tahiti by about eight miles of sea and reefs, is still doing good work there. The recent storms and the one which followed on lfith March were, if anything, more destructive in Moorea than in Tahiti and during my stay various subscriptions were started, one headed by the French Governor, and another raised by the church of which M. Vernier is pastor, for the relief of the suffering people. M. Vernier himself went across in the little steamer to distribute the material aid thus collected in the shape of food and clothing, and on his return on the day I left Papeete he gave me a very sad accpunt of the destruction and suffering. One great feature of interest in the religious life of Tahiti, is the earnest study of the Bible, which has recently sprung up. M. Vernier gives out (1 believe weekly) a text of scripture for study, and when a trinity of these is complete, he gives one which sums up [August, 1889. or illustrates the meaning of the whole, the people in the various districts gather weekly or oftener for the prayerful consideration of these scriptures, and occasionally adjacent districts will visit each other for still more enlarged sion. I consider this as a very hopeful sign. Mrs. Darsie has taken up this Bible study in a very earnest manner and is doing a large amount of good in this and other ways. As she fills very much the same social position in Tahiti that the late lamented Mrs. Bishop did in Honolulu it can be easily understood that her influence for good is very powerful. I do not think I am violating the confidence due by a guest when I mention the morning family worship on the Sunday I was at Fautawa—all the servants gathered together in the drawing room, and as soon as Mrs. Darsie and her children were seated, one of the young men servants rose, read a chapter, and then offered a very earnest prayer. It was very pleasant; the whole household bowing at Ihe family altar, while their devotions were led by a servant, and yet, as Philemon was, 'a brother beloved.' Mr. Darsie always conducts morning family prayer in English. I understood from Mrs. Darsie that all the servants, and they are probably over a dozen, are with one or two exceptions, earnest members of the Church and also of the Bible Classes of which I have told you. She has built a large house close to her own beautiful place, especially .for these services, and here they meet on Sunday afternoons and evenings, all going in to M. Vernier's church in the morning, weather permitting. The natives flock from far and near to the evening meetings, and I believe Mrs. Darsie conducts them. She has also translated a little daily text book into Tahitian, and has had a large number beautifully printed in England, and they are I know very highly valued. Would that her example were more largely followed, and that wealth and social position were more often looked upon as talents to be consecrated to the service of our Lord. As far as I could learn, the Roman Church is not making much if any progress in .Tahiti. A new CoadjutorBishop has arrived during my absence, who is likely tfl infuse more life and energy into the work of the church, as his colleague is well advanced in years. I was told the new Bishop is a Jesuit. The diocese is a large one, embracing all the South-Eastern Islands of the Pacific. As a rule the Roman churches are fully as numerous as the Protestant; one in each village, and they are much liner buildings; the difference in attendance and membership is, however, very strrking. The Roman Cathedral (I never add Catholic, as that is too grand a word to attach to any one commu nion) in Papeete is a fine building, no, far from the pjiglish Protestant onet �Volume 47, No. B.] THE FRIEND. and with a tall steeple. The old Roman Bishop is reported to have told his flock on one occasion, probably at the consecration service, that when God came down to earth He would be sure to go to their church first, because He would see it so much sooner. The story may he, and probably is, apocryphal, but if true one cannot but 'admire the Bishop's liberality in admitting by inference that God would come to our church at all. He was the prelate who once wrote to Mr. Green asking him to reserve for him some Tahitian Bibles out of the next shipment from the Bible Society, probably the only letter of the kind that has ever been written. The Dotray Bible has not I think been translated into Tahitian, and so this book is the one of all others valued in the South Pacific, I suppose the Romanist Tahitians have larger freedom allowed to them than is the case elsewhere. My impression is that the new Bishop may not be quite so liberal. The position in the Leeward Islands Huaheine, Raiatea, Talma, Bora Bora etc., is not satisfactory; only one English missionary, the Rev. E. Y. Cooper, ot Huaheine, remains out of about ten or twelve in the early days, and fiveeven in my time of visiting the islands. Mr. Richards who was at Raiatea, died a few months ago, deeply regretted by everybody. I do not know the intentions of the London Missionary Society as to this old and successful missionary field; the present seems an unfavorable time to hand it over to the French Protestant Church, as since the withdrawal of England from the joint protectorate the natives are vainly struggling for their independence of France, and loss of life has occurred on both skies, causing naturally considerable ill feeling, i hope, however, when peace is secured, though this can only he by the submission of the natives to French rule, that, if as it seems most likely the French missionaries will succeed the English, they will be men of the same earnestness and devotion as those who have so long given themselves to the work in Tahiti—certainly they are wise not to go there under the protection of the guns of a man-of-war. The natives of the Leeward Islands have hitherto absolutely prohibited any Roman priests from landing there, but I fear now they will not be able to prevent them. I feel very sorry for the position of the English-speaking population of Papeete, as they are really 'sheep without a shepherd;' they have a very nice church, about two-thirds of the size of Port Street, but without the lower rooms; but since Mr. Green left they have no minister. The London Missionary Society of course considers its work is with the natives, but usually in ports like Papeete the missionaries also do what they can for the foreign residents, of course in a purely voluntary way; and for the last forty years, I suppose there has al- — ways been an Engli h or Bethel church in Papeete. The present building was erected by the earnest efforts of Mr. Green, the beautiful pulpit or platform of Tamanu and other native woods having been presented by Mrs. Darsie, at a cost of over $. >oo. M. Vernier holds a service in I'rench once a month, and this is the only opportunity for worship, except when an occasional visitor arrives. Having been privileged lo take the service once or twice before, M. Vernier and other friends asked me to do so on this visit and I consented, subject to the weather allowing any one to venture out. On Saturday night, March HI, however another storm broke over the island and continued until Sunday afternoon; the wind blowing with almost hurricane force- -nothing like it has ever been known; the town of Papeete was strewn with large Burau trees that had been uprooted —the streets were in most cases impassable, trees in falling having uprooted fences and taken houses down with them also; and although on Monday morning French soldiers were called out to open up the roads, when we left on the Friday they had not been able Up to 3 to fully complete their .work. o'clock on the Sunday afternoon we kept discussing the chances of any congregation being able to 'assemble— the storm presently, however, began to abate and I determined to go in at all hazards —being much stimulated by the sad condition of the people, and that they might not have another English service for a year or more perhaps, and also by Mrs. Darsie telling me that on my last visit in 18N1 I had preached from Ist Epistle St. John, Ist Chapter, Hth and 9th verses. After dinner, at about 7 o'clock, the weather being much finer, I started in, accompanied by the two daughters of my hostess and a servant with a lamp to lookout for holes in the road and for fallen trees. It was a long two miles, and when we got into the town itself the fallen trees across the roads reminded me in the darkness of the barricades in Paris of which I had recently been reading in Victor Hugo. We had to climb over and through these as best we could, especially through two very large ones that had fallen close outside the church, and had in fact carried away some of the fencing with them. Truly this was going to church under difficulties. On arrival we found the church lit up and a good number of people assembled and quietly waitingfeeling that I was late 1 looked at my wa,tch, but it was still a few minutes before the time—half-past seven, and I learnt afterwards from M. Vernier that some of the friends had come before daylight was over so as to avoid the fallen trees and other obstacles, and to ensure safety. Of course a good many of the regular congregation could not come on account of the weather, but the fact that I have mentioned of so many r 65 having assembled an hour or more before the time of meeting, so as not to miss the opportunity of united worship, says a good deal for their earnest Christian life, and how much they deserve the care of a regular pastor, and is at the same time my only justification for having entered so much into matters of personal detail. I cannot say much' about the other groups.of the Southern Pacific, as I have not visited them lately. F.ngland has recently annexed the Hervey group and Niue, islands in which I am much interested, as from them we draw supplies of labor for our Guano and Cocoanut Islands, and also on account of many pleasant memories ol visits paid to them at various times. On one occasion, in 1881,1 was entreated by the natives to use all the influence I had in England, or as the Rarotongans and Mangaians put it to me, "speak Queen Victoria, get her to take our islands, and not let French come;" with the Hervey Islanders the French were most feared, with Niue, on account of its vicinity to Samoa and most naturally the Germans. I am sure that the best interests of Christianity and of the islanders will be served by the good work done last year by Captain Bourke in H. M. S.Hyacinth at the Hervey Group, and by Admiral Fairfax in H. M. S. Calliope at Niue. One of the objects of my cruise has been to visit Caroline and Flint, two of our cocoanut Islands near Tahiti, and curiously enough when I arrived at Caroline on March 2nd, I was able to announce to the two Niue boys, and two Mangaians, who had been there as caretakers for over 3 years, that their wishes had been fulfilled, and that they as well asmyself were.now subjects of Queen Victoria. It did my English heart good to see the joyous light flash into their eyes, and the hearty way in which they received the good news of being free from either French or German domination in future. Shortly after the deportation of King Malietoa from Samoa by the Germans, I was talking to a young German baron in San Francisco about these high handed proceedings, and he replied, we are only following in the footsteps of England. I could not but admit past national errors to some extent, but said we had turned over a new leaf, and that Germany should follow that, and nottheone that had been turned downand closed, and in Sir Charles Dilke's article in the Fortnightly Review on the present position of European politics, he uses the following words almost conveying the same idea "I suppose it is useless to speak of the rights of the native inhabitants of the countries which are'annexed by France, looking to our own past; it does not lie in the mouth of an Englishman to do so. But, we may hope that when the historian of the future comes to deal with the times in which we live, he will point out that England in this �66 THE FRIEND. respect grew better while France grew of every one engaged on the side of worse." order.

Few things have been finer than the quiet and gallant way in which the gentlemen of the Rifles and their volunteer friends took their stations in the face of a thoroughly armed and rather desperate enemy. This is especially true of the squad of picked sharpshooters in the Opera house, which was the chief post of danger. The front of the Opera house is a sorry sight. It is nicked all over by rifle shot and grape. Windows all shattered and doors riddled. A shell hole in the roof, another in the main door, another through a shutter, all which burst in the rear parts of the building. F"or a short time the little band up-stairs were in a hot place, and some of them were close grazed by bullet and grape shot. The men never slacked their fire, nor wasted ammunition. With eye true and hand steady they swiftly picked off the men serving the guns, and soon silenced them entirely. It was quick and neat work, and done in the face of a heavy fire of shell and grape that poured through their windows, stormed upon the front, and exploded behind them. Only amateur soldiers though. We were on Fort street, anxiously awaiting the result of Mr. Damon's attempted parley with the insurgents, when the sharp rattle of rifle shots an- derly thankful for the absolute immunity the native people, by the less reputable nounced a work of death begun,- The �Volume 47, No. B.] 67 THE FRIEND. waiting crowds surged into commotion. Then came the heavy reports of the field guns again and again and again, telling of the enemy's immense superiority in arms. Swift closed the shutters and doors on all the stores, and men ran in every direction. A slight lull, and again the crack of rifles, and the banging guns, and so on for a time, after which onlyrifles were heard, quite intermittent. Other rifle parties held Kawaiahao steeple, the Hopper house, Hotel Stables, Coney house, and Wundenberg house, all overlooking the Palace yard, and peppering anything in sight. The Wundenberg party had a close and commanding position, and soon quite divided the work with the Opera House. The enemy got a gun trained on them, but every man who tried to fire it they shot down. By noon all the enemy were driven into permanent hiding. The Cabinet and their friends made head-quarters at the station-house, with a machine gun at the door. Through the afternoon the public waited for the end, with now and then a shot or two to tell that an enemy's head had been seen. Near sunset a fusiliade of rifles set in quick and strong, and then the sharp peport of dynamite cartridges flung on the bungalow roof by a ball-pitcher's arm. This went on for half an hour, and we heard the welcome cry of"white flag." The Rifles poured through the open-gate and soon marched out with their prisoners for the Station house. Poor desperate, doomed Wilcox Poor wounded, misguided Boyd and Markham ! Poor misled suffering Hawaiians ! They have futilely combined to overthrow one of the best and most beneficent civil systems in the world. The claims of Justice upon them are stern and stringent. Our people's liberties and lives must be protected. Is there any escape from the necessity of severe examples ? Our government is strong and secure, more so than ever —but one of its nrost painful and arduous duties yet lies before it, and before the community. To all appearance, the insurrection was a most idiotic one, in its concepti n, in the means employed, and not much less in its execution. Wilcox seems to have had very few drilled men. His followers were a rabble. He must have relied on accomplices outside to support him, possibly on some in very high position. If all were known, some of his apparent brainlessness might be ex- • plained. It was because he was so very destitute of adequate means or force that no effective guard was made against him, and he was able to inflict such an absolute surprise upon the city, and so distressing a one. Surely the Lord has our beloved little land in His gracious keeping. "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper." Te Deum laudamus ! Hon. S. M. Damon, our well-known citizen, and a leading banker, takes the portfolio of Finance in the Cabinet, to which he contributes the strength of high personal and business reputation. He comes to an overflowing Treasury, yet one that needs very prudent and careful handling. His accession is at once followed by a new measure, that of reducing the rate of interest paid by the Postal Savings Bank, whosedeposits are mountFrom ing up to an unexpected sum. November Ist, only A]/2 percent will be paid. As this small reduction will hardly serve to check deposits, we shall not be surprised to see a reduction follow to four per cent. We trust that our public credit will soon become and continue so good, that no fresh loans need ever be made at more than four per cent. This will be only, however, as the better elements of society shall continue to predominate. All believers receive of Christ's full- ness; the greatest saint cannot live without him; the weakest saint may live by him. The Gospel is not a clenched fist, but an open palm. The parent who would train up a child in the way he should go, must go in the way_ he would train up the child. Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace ot the city, and the security of the State. Keep your conduct abreast of your conscience, and very soon your conscience will be illumined by the radiance of God. There were two notable suicides in Europe, one of a Crown Prince, and the other of a private adventurer. Well may we note, that in the case of neither princes nor knaves, neither in high life nor low life, is there any alteration in the old schedule of the wages of sin. Rudolf of Hapsburg and Richard Pigott had fairly earned their wages, and all who apply can be paid with the same certainty.—lndependent.

We are pained to learn that Rev. Dr. L. H. Gulick of Shanghae has been compelled by nervous prostration to retire for a while from his many labors at that post. Dr. and Mrs. Gulick were at last accounts sojourning at "Rural Health Retreat," St. Helena, Cal. Rev, Thos. L. Gulick of Paia, Maui, returned about the beginning of this month to his church and work there, after a visit of six weeks at Kohala, somewhat improved in health by his visit. Rev.

Mr. P'orbes was educated at Aberdeen and P2dinburgh Universities, taking his Theological course at Montreal. The Pastor of Central Union Church is taking his annual vacation at Waikiki beach. Mr. Westervelt supplied the pulpit with great acceptance on the 14th and 21st of July. Dr. Dwinell on the 28th. Rev. Israel E. Dwinell, D.D., has been for five years Professor of Homiletus and Pastoral Theology in the Pacific Theological Seminary in Oakland, Cal., and previously for twenty years the pastor of the First Congregational Church in Sacramento. Prof. Dwinell is most favorably known in the Theological world as the author of many forcible and discriminating papers on Doctrine and Biblical Criticism. His discourses are especially acceptable to thoughtful hearers. Dr. Dwinell will supply the pulpit of Central Union Church during the rest of the vacation of the pastor. Mrs. Coles, who came to Honolulu by the Star on her last voyage, returns again. The Woman's Board of Missions having appointed her as their missionary. Her destination in the field has not yet been fixed. It will probably be Ponape or Ruk. With these let us pray that the spirit of Christ may go to sustain and approve and comfort them in all their deeds. Monthly Record of Events.

The Call which Comes from Kona. 69 very little well directed effort will not only fill their stomachs, clothe their bodies, and put a comfortable roof over their heads, but also put money in their pockets, and this is proven by the fact that so many of the population are forehanded. In a late tour through this district I met a man driving a donkey laden with delicious pine-apples to the nearest port, for shipment to Honolulu. Asking the price of them they were ten cents a piece, but as a favor he sold me six for a half a dollar. Surely, thought I, where the purchasing power of the dime is so small the touch of poverty cannot be greatly felt, for even in Honolulu after all charges have been paid, one can buy the same fruit for ten cents a piece. But allowance must be made for the illogical nature of the Hawaiian mind. Much has been said of the growth of heathenism in this district during the last few decades. But what is more natural than that where the seeds of heathenism are not yet quite extinct, they should begin to spring up, and, like the pernicious lantana seed to cover the land, when it is left to itself? Sad as it is, the very fact that, in the lack of better and more influential guidance, this people have shown a tendency to relapse into heathenism, is to our mind a more hopeful sign than if they had just settled down into blank nothingness.

The sun's rays traversed horizontally a vastly less extent of the atmosphere; consequently other colors being but partially intercepted, less red was exhibited than in the Krakatau glows. In fact, these are not properly to be called "Red Sunsets." Finally the twice-reflected rays having travelled so much shorter a distance, retained force sufficient for a slight but definite third reflection of the red rays only, they reaching farther than the others. The above is written before the arrival of any foreign mail by which we could learn of a probable cause to which this remarkable phenomenon may be owing. Punch Bowl Road. The road to the top of Punch Bowl Hill is nearly completed. In all there is a drive-way of 17,200 feet or 3.27 miles. This is divided into the North and South approaches meeting at the "Saddle," of 4,200 and 4,600 feet respectively; then 2,200 feet from the "saddle" to the "Gap," which is along the steep eastern side of the hill, and is scarfed into the rock, with a high outer wall; then 3,400 feet around the North and West inner sides to the carriage stand; then 060 feet of the "Loop" around the rock-pile; and finally 2,200 feet back to the "Gap" across the south side of the interior. The road touches three higher points of the upper rim, viz., on the North-east, the South-west, and the South from which full views are obtained without leaving one's vehicle. To the North and North-west, good views can only be obtained by leaving the road. Doubtless a branch road will be made up to a point on the North-west. The highest pinnacle is about fifty feet higher thanthe road. In this lofty point now made so accessible, we have a natural height of observation, practically equal to the Eiffel tower for Paris. It immediately overlooks the central parts of the city and the harbor from an altitude of 490 feet. It gives a near birds-eye view of the fine eastern plain, with its streets and residences, to Punahou and Waikiki beach. Inland the panorama of mountain and rich valleys is superb. A great revelation awaits anyone who has not seen Pauoa valley from these heights. To the North-west again is the great panorama of Palama, Kalihi, and the route of the Oahu Railroad. The road is 20 feet wide; the grade is a very gentle one, from three to four feet rise in the hundred. Your horse should trot up the whole distance. The panorama is constantly changing and growing as you rise. We risk nothing in predicting that this road will be constantly used, the summit will at once become a favorite resort, and the whole will be one of the leading attractions of the city. �Volcanic Formations in the Vicinity of five degrees. It had probably been a fissure, and was filled with an entirely Punahou. different By Hattie G. Forbes, Oahu College. Every one knows what the view is from Rocky Hill. Most of us are contented with turning our admiring glances from Diamond Head, along the expanse of blue ocean with its fringe of cocoanut trees and Punchbowl on guard over the city, to the cooling green of Manoa Valley and saying, "How beautiful it is!" But we do not give much thought as to how the valley, Round Top, or Rocky Hill were formed. I have found this a very interesting subject. There was once, hundreds of years ago, a long mountain chain running from one end of Oahu to the other. This mountain was like Mauna Loa in shape and slope and had craters at different points, one of them being where the head of Manoa valley is now, and what is now the highest point was one edge of the crater, only much rock. From a place were sand has been dug out we have a good chance to study the formation of the gravel. It varies in color from black to yellow and white, and it is laid down in strata of these colors. We find long stalactite-like projections, which look as if they might once have been roots, and may have been formed by the action of water on certain constituents of the gravel. Although shells are to be found in this gravel it is evident that they were left there by human beings, as they are kinds from which the natives eat the fish. It is proved by coral rock near here, that the ocean was not far off and the place may have been inhabited by natives who cooked their fish on the shore. To confirm this theory, ashes are found mixed in with the gravel, also kukuis of ancient date. Now examining the Rocky Hill formation, we find the rocks are quite porous, very different from those of Round Top, and in some places look almost as fresh as the lava thrown out at the present day. The fossil shells which Prof. Lyons found there recently were imbedded in a white kind of limestone which had formed in a crevice of the lava rock. It is supposed that this limestone was formed from a fine volcanic dust which settled into this crevice little by little, and that the shells dropped from trees and shrubs growing near. During all these volcanic disturbances there were earthquakes, probably much harder and more destructive than are now experienced, so that we may be thankful we were not living in this vicinity then. In such a case "Distance lends enchantment to the scene" indeed. higher. After a time the crater became apparently extinct, and erosion began its destructive work down this side of the mountain, until not only the crater was worn away but there was a great valley, about a mile wide, gouged out. It must have taken a stream of great force many ages to wear away the mountain side to such an extent; but there it stands to day with all its ridges, now densely covered with a growth of kukui, koa, ohia and other trees. The remains of the original mountain may be seen on both sides of the valley, the ridge separating Manoa from Palolo being one part, and the rocks outcropping in Judd's pasture at the base of Round Top, the other. The volcanic action however was not entirely extinct, and an immense fissure was opened near the old crater, runALMANAC & ANNUAL ning north and south, from which lava issued at times, but not enough to flow FOH IHKD. any distance, and so it just piled up on This regular and favorite publication is now in its fifteenth year, and has In this way Tantalus, top of itself. proved itself a reliable handbook of Sugar Loaf, and Rocky Hill were formreference on matlers Hawaiian; conveying ed, Rocky Hill being the most recent. a better knowledge of the commercial, is of Round Top composed layers of agricultural, political and social progress ofrhe islands than any publication extant. loose gravel which was thrown out Orders from abroad or from the other when the mountains behind were being islands atlended to with promptness. formed, and which fell on the remains l'lsirK ■■-to Postal Union Countries 60 of the old mountain, piling up until the els. each, which can be remitted by Money Order.

In the care of the lepers, and in the improvement of their condition the Government has always been active, and very solicitous. The lepers themselves were more or less influential people, and never had any difficulty in making their complaints heard and attended to. Mr. Ballantyne represents the settlement as abandoned to disorder and neglect nntil Father Damien's arrival in 1874 secured amelioration. The N.

The truth is, first, that no such abominable disorder among the lepers or neglect on the part of the Government existed, either at Damien's, arrival in 1873 or at any previous time. It is true that in 1865, the first year of the residence of lepers there, there was some disorder and some destitution for a short time, until the Government had learned their work. Secondly, Father Damien, although more or less serviceable, was never a chief moving spirit in the steady improvement that went on in the condition of the settlement. Such a claim for him is unfounded on fact, and the grossest exaggeration. The Government always took care to have faithful and capable agents, and gave zealous attention to the wants of the settlement without waiting for Damien to importune them. We now quote from the Biennial Report of the Board of Health to the Legislature dated April 1, 1874, about the time of, to Damien's arrival at the settlement. This report is signed by Hon. H. A. Widemann, then President of the Board of Health, a gentleman of high standing, a Catholic, a vigorous critic of administrative faults, and his party having just come into office, quite at liberty to denounce any neglect of the late Protestant Minister of Interior E. O. Hall. Mr. Widemann asserts that "in a material point of view these people are better off on Molokai than most natives of these Islands, and also better off, with few exceptions, than they ever were in their own homes." A " large number of kuleanas" "with numerous good houses" had recently been purchased to meet the wants of the increasing population. (Kuleanas are small private pieces of land.) Six thousand feet of water pipe had been laid. "Mr. W. P. Ragsdale who some months ago gave a remarkable example of self-sacrifice ingoing of his own accord to Molokai, is the present superintendent of the asylum. A more active and efficient man could hardly be found." The lepers "have been made in all respects as comfortable as possible." All this was before Damien had gone to the settlement. Turn back two years to the report of Dr. F. W. Hutchinson in 1872. "The food ration is a large one, and exceeds that supplied to the soldiers of the best supplied European and American armies." "The Board can fairly assert that these people are better supplied than they ever were in their own homes —a proof of the assertion may be found in the fact that many of the people living at the landing place at Kalaupapa, have been anxious to make themselves lepers." "We repeat again, that these [July, 1889. THE FRIEND. people are well taken care of, and not that island. After this, for eleven years, Rev. A. O. Forbes carried on the work unhappy." The tone of defense of this- report be- ably and devotedly, periodically visiting tokens the fact that the treatment of the and ministering to the lepers after they lepers was then as always the subject came there in 1865, organizing the of jealous scrutiny by the Hawaiian Siloam church, and installing their fiist public. pastor. At that time thatched houses were A considerable proportion of the lepers the common abodes of the people in all were members of Protestant churches, the country districts. These were often more comfortable and more healthy than their present wooden cottages. For many years our pioneer missionaries lived in grass houses. One writer complains that the lepers did not get milk. The natives are not used to have milk at home. What they want is pot, and poi was always a chief part of the leper's rations. This report of 1872 describes the commodious house of the keeper, two hospitals for the sick, and separate houses for those lepers needing special care. There are described "separate houses built for boys and girls, with a special building for a school room," the teacher being a leper. " A number of milch cows furnish plenty of milk" for the patients, "and the food is prepared by a Chinese cook." "A little distance from this central place, nearer the seaside, a little church has been built, where every Sunday a native minister, a leper himself, holds a service. * It is well attended by the poor people for whose benefit it has been specially erected." This last testimony of Dr. Hutchison will have the more force with those who remember how entirely out of sympathy he was with the Protestant missionaries. We now take up the calumnies as to the religious and moral' condition of Molokai and the Leper Settlement at the date of Damien's arrival. Mr. Ballantyne says: "Though the other Hawaiian Islands had abolished idolatry and adopted Christianity, in Molokai— where there was no missionary, no priest—the old paganism, with all its horrible consequences,reigned supreme." This seems really too absurd for serious notice. Molokai was, in many respects, the most thoroughly and successfully worked missionary field in the group. Mr. and Mrs. Hitchcock were at the head of the work from 1832 to 1857. They were peculiarly devoted and efficient, and had excellent missionaries associated with them. There were no traders in their field, and their influence was less impeded than on the other islands. Nearly every man and woman on the island came to own their powerful moral and spiritual sway. Father Hitchcock was a first-class example of a devoted, hard-working missionary hero, whom the people both loved and feared, and we had plenty more like him. About the time of his death the count showed an excess of births over deaths on Molokai. This was the one solitary instance of the kind in this kingdom. It erinced the superior moral condition of * many deacons, and some ministers. Their spiritual wants were well supplied by church and Sabbath schools, and have always been the object of solicitous care from the other churches and the Hawaiian Bosrd. And now comes this Mr. Ballantyne and tells the world that Molokai was a heathen island, which Father Damien christianized! Mr. Ballantyne may have been misled by Catholic Mission statistics, which would have shown Molokai to have been without church or priest of their persuasion. Father Hitchcock's supremacy left them no foothold. Still we think that good Bishop Maigret would hardly have made return of Molokai as a "Pagan" island, however far from salvation he may have reckoned us Protestants. Why Bishop Maigret left his Catholic people at Kalawao for so many years destitute of spiritual care, we do not know. So neglected, they became the source of much of the moral disorder that existed at Kalaupapa among the idle lepers in spite of church and magistrate. Father Damien did a worthy and noble thing to volunteer in 1873 to serve them. He did great good by bringing the neglected Catholic minority under spiritual direction and control. He also worked zealously for their bodily needs. In this respect his services may doubtless be regarded as of indispensable value. We don't know of any evidence that Damien's usefulness for some years extended beyond what he did for the Catholic minority. All good missionaries, as a rule, combine a variety of ma-terial labors with spiritual; Damien did the same, -and seems to have done his work zealously and faithfully according to his ability. The fact was, that the. general condition of the settlement was good, and the government and superintendents Meyer and Ragsdale were doing all they could to improve it. As Damien gained experience, he no doubt contributed useful suggestions. We find him in 1878, after the death of superintendent Ragsdale, acting as assistant superintendent. A strong committee of investigation evidently did not consider him as meeting the needs of the office, although they imputed his inadequacy to the pressure of his spiritual duties. We have, contended that Damien's usefulness was simply that of the ordinary missionary priest. A special heroism there undoubtedly was, in undertaking and performing his duties in the face of the liability of becoming a leper himself. We do not minimize that he- �Volume 47, No. 7.] roism in saying that he coveted death by leprosy as winning for him special spiritual "merit," or a "martyr's" crown. Such heroism in varied forms, however, pervades the history of Catholic and Protestant churches. Hawaii and Micronesia are full of examples of it, and among those who do not believe in earning "merit," but who wish merely to follow their lord in helping and saving men. We think it an unworthy exaggeration to erect this good priest into a rare and wonderful martyr. As to the alleged "exile," there was none. He was always free to go and come, and occasionally visited Honolulu, even after he became a leper. There are several other devoted priests here, and we doubt if some of them would not have willingly exchanged parishes with their brother Damien, with his ample govHis ernment rations and housing. ardent admirer Stoddard found him in 1884, hearty, buoyant and busy, and living in plenty. None the less a hero for that. But the vain effort to make an exceptional hero of him has led to the flood of calumnious misstatements which we have felt compelled to refute. We purposely abstain from setting forth several acknowledged facts which would put this matter in a stronger light, and which many here will feel disappointed not to see published herewith.

Mr. King is now on his way to confer with the officers of the London Missionary Society. A pleasant reception was given Mr. and Mrs. King and daughter, with Mr. and Mrs. Harris of Melbourne, at Rev. Dr. Hyde's on Saturday evening, to which were invited those persons more intimately related to mission work here. Messrs. Harris and King made short addresses. They had landed at Samoa from the Alameda, and so renewed their knowledge of the people and their affairs. While the Gospel work retains sub stantially its power and activity in Samoa, the churches are suffering from the lack of missionary superintendence. There is little education as compared with that of the Hawaiian natives. No native newspapers exist. The Romanists maintain a strong force of priests and assistants, with advanced schools, 53 THE FRIEND. CITY MARKET, Nuuanu Street. All orders delivered with quick dispatch and at reason* able rates.

THE FRIEND. 54 The Conemaugh Valley Disaster. Rev. Dr. Beckwith, Jast Sunday evening, applied the lessons of this terrible event with great force and feeling. It teaches us to build well, both in material and in spiritual things, so as to endure all tests. One inestimable enrichment which the Conemaugh destruction will assuredly be in material things, we have not seen alluded to. Congress has just given half a million for a mere reconnoisance of the Rocky mountains, with a view to construct perhaps a thousand great storage reservoirs, with colossal dams. The hundreds of millions of fertile but arid acres that await irrigation, will ensure the construction of those dams to impound the spring floods for man's service. What gangs of greedy and inhuman contractors and of corrupt inspectors stand ready to slight and cheapen their work, and to imperil the lives of the millions who will dwell in the lower valleys. Now at the inception of the work, and in merciful though stern warning God sends this gigantic wreck of Conemaugh. It will now be hardly possible for either government or individuals to neglect their duty in making faithful and solid work in the Rocky mountain dams. So the judgment may prove to be the greatest mercy. So—too optimistically some of our readers may think—we regard the Seattle conflagration, with all its ruin and loss to individuals, as really a great mercy to the city. First, the fire was sure to come in that ill-built huddle of houses. How much better to come now before millions more had been expended on good buildings. Secondly, the whole tract is cleaned off; the streets will be widened and reformed, and a noble city of fire-proof blocks will replace the former ill-built town. Probably the ground alone is already worth more in the market than it was before the fire, with all its buildings standing. But note another thing. Such a fire in Constantinople or Peking would have been purely a disaster. No improvement of the burnt district would follow. A dam or a dyke bursting in China would be followed by no improvement in the public engineering. Why are we so thoroughly assured that improvement will follow in America? Because in America there is conscience. Because there is spiritual enlightenment. Because there are crowds of noble men and women whose soiils make great outcry against sloth and greed and treachery; they kindle other souls, and the sluggards and traitors and pirates are daunted and made ashamed. So good work will be done. This is one thing that comes to any people when Christ has shone upon them. They witl not endure scoundrelism. They will have good and honest work. The same sort of thing was brought out just two years ago in the Armory meeting in this city, when a flood of public wrath swept away villainy in high places. Solid and honest work is likely to be done in Honolulu for some time to come. But all public affairs need the support of active and watchful consciences. Bad men hate and vilify conscience in other people, but give way before it when aroused in its might. Rev. E. G. Porter Visits Honolulu. Among the many visitors which our central position in the lines of commerce brings to us, we have met few more interesting than Rev. E. G. Porter, pastor of a church in Lexington, Mass. Mr. Porter has now been two years on his travels. Associated with the wellknown Rev. Dr. March of Woburri, and in the interests of the American Board, although not at their expense, he visited and studied the Board's missions in the Turkish Empire India, China and Japan, also missions in Burmah and Siam, most of which countries he has extensively explored, as well as Java and Australia. In Peking Dr. March became disabled by illness and returned home. Mr. Porter is evidently an acute observer and an admirable reporter of what he has seen. We have seldom listened to a more entertaining and agreeable has lectured in Central speaker. Church upon missions in the Union Turkish Empire, and again upon that in India; he has also lectured in the Y. M. C. A. Hall upon Siam and upon Java. Mr. Porter has visited Kauai, and is now upon Hawaii. He expects to sail for home on July sth. We hope to hear again his interesting narrations. The home churches have a spiritual and intellectual treat before them when he arrives. The sermon on Home Missions was preached in the evening at Kaumakapili church by Rev. S. Paaluhi. Rev. A. D. Bissell at the same time preaching the sermon on Foreign Missions to the English speaking congregation in the Central Union Church. Kamehameha Exhibition. When we went to our Sabbath school on Sunday, June 23d, in old Kawaiahao church, we found the immense platform, supposed to be adequate for all possible school purposes, extended to more than double its area for the coming exhibition of Mr. Oleson's school. It was suggested that they were going to show us a baseball game, in which their nine have, this season, been so victorious. Thursday evening, June 27th, we went and saw some things out of the ordinary course. There was a fair assortment of declama- tions, creditably delivered. Some of these Hawaiian youth were perfectly distinct in articulation of English words, which is not very common. Samuel Kauhane and William Spencer read compositions, both of which were interesting in matter, and distinctly enunciated. An interesting newspaper, the Kamehameha Sentinel, was read by the editor, John Wise; it contained many amusing hits. During the reading, four artists were drawing comical pictures upon the black-board, showing freedom and correctness of handling." Fractions on Fire" and "Rapid Calculation" were black-board and oral exercises, exhibiting quick movements in arithmetic, and amazed the natives. The need of the great stage appeared in the Indian club and dumb-bell exercises, in which the athletic, military forms of the tall boys were displayed in splendid action. With such physical training, and with the regular habits and temperate regime of the school, the base-ball success of the Kamehameha nine is quite accountable. Now if these fine fellows will only keep up to what they are learning here through after life! The weakness of Hawaiians is to do nobly for a while and then relapse into slack and careless living. Yet some of our fine Lahainaluna youth have fulfilled their early promise, while too many have drifted with the strong tide of half-heathen living. The young Kamehamehas are being finely equipped with hands and eyes skilled for the best and most useful artizenship. An exhibit of their manual work hung back of the stage in the form of house and bridge models with samples of turning and joinery. Plumbing and smithing exhibits were seen at school. We fully coincide with the view of the founders of the school that this manual training will supply an es- �Volume 47, No. 7.] sential element in the success in life of Hawaiian Youth. Mr. Townsend ably conducted the vocal music exercises, several of which varied the exhibition. The voices of the boys seemed to be receiving a careful training. The Hallelujah Chorus closed the evening. We congratulate Mr. Oleson and his faithful assistants upon the fine impression of their work which the exhibition has made upon the public. The great house was crowded. Mr. Shinichi Ando, son of Mr. Taro for the occasion, which was to give a Ando, the Japanese Consul-General, is farewell reception to Mr. Shinichi Ando, now leaving Honolulu to study at An- son of the Japanese Consul residing in dover, Massachusetts. Mr. Ando has been at Oahu College for the past three years, giving special attention to the natural sciences. He has been highly esteemed in his church relations, as well as in school. For his own sake, as well as for that of his noble Christian father, we wish for him every success and prosperity in his new surroundings. We think he will carry through life very recollections of Honolulu, as pleasant Oahu College.

The closing exercises of this institution were held on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 4th, in the fine large schoolroom added to the building last year. There was a crowded assembly of parents, patrons, and prominent residents. The pupils, all native girls, went through their numerous assigned parts in excellent style. The music was directed by Miss Patch, who has evidently more than kept up the high standard of her predecessors. It reflects the greatest credit on the new corps of young and skillful teachers that, notwithstanding their total inexperience with Hawaiian girls, the school has prospered and even gone forward. Miss Pepoon the new Principal, has earned high praise. But perhaps the greatest honor of all is due to the excellent Miss Hopper, who alone remained of the former faculty, and who lent to the utmost her valuable experience and happy influence to introduce her new associates to their work. We congratulate the Trustees and Patrons on the successful progress of the school, and on the many generous benefactions which have replaced the old and dilapidated buildings with the present noble and commodious edifice. Nearly 130 girls were housed and taught in the Seminary the past year. 55 THE FRIEND. Judd read at Central Union Church prayer meeting an English version of his historical address to the natives at Kawaiahao on the occasion of the Jubilee anniversary of tke completion of the Hawaiian Bible. We hope to print this address in our August issue. It is rich in interest. Judge Rev. A. C. Walkup arrived per Umatilla on the 28th ult., to do his yearly visiting per Morning Star among the Gilbert Islands. Mrs. Logan and Mr. and Mrs. Forbes are expected per Zealandia on the 6th. The Star will take speedy departure after their arrival. We thankfully acknowledge the receipt from Mr. John T. Arundel at Howland's I, of a long promised account of a late visit toTahiti and other South Pacific Islands, with observations of great value from so experienced an observer. We shall hope to find place for this paper in our August issue. Reception. The Japanese Y. M. C. A. had a very pleasant gathering in Queen Emma Hall on Saturday evening, June 22d. The room was very tastefully decorated this city. Young Ando came here with his parents about three years ago, and although *his parents were not then Christians, he had been placed by them in a Christian school, and while there was converted. Since he came to this city he has been very earnest and active in Christian work especially among his countrymen. He was a member of the Central Union Church; an active member of the foreign Y. M. C. A.; also Recording Secretary of the Japanese Branch. Mr. Ando goes to Andover, Mass., to spend a year in Philip's Academy, then to Ann Arbor to persue a special course in chemistry, after which he will return to his native land to engage in business. On the above evening Dr. Hyde presided and the exercises consisted of singing, prayers and brief addresses rendered in Japanese and English, there being a goodly number of each nationality present. A generous supply of ice cream and cake made up the programme of a very pleasant evening, the memory of which will cheer and help our young brother when among scenes and faces that are new and strange. The Nineteenth Century contains an article by Mrs. Humphrey Ward, entitled "The New Reformation, in which she demands that the same principles of literary criticism which have been applied to the analysis of other documents, be applied to the Four Gospels. With this demand we are in hearty accord, as are all the more progressive members of the evangelical church. The result, however, of the application of this method to the study of the New Testament has been to make it almost absolutely certain that the three synoptic Gospels existed in substantially their present form within half a century after the death of' Christ, and reasonably certain that the fourth Gospel existed in substantially its present form before the end of the first century. These are the conclusions, not merely of orthodox students endeavoring to defend the authenticity of the Gospels, but of unprejudiced, if adverse critics. All that Christian faith demands of the Rationalistic school is that they should explain how the narratives of miracles became incorporated in these contemporaneous, records by writers whose honesty never has been impugned, and whose opportunities for observation are not questioned, if the events did not occur as they are narrated in the evangelical histories. The notion that these narratives of miracles are mythical additions of a later date, has been destroyed by the very methods of criticism to which Mr. Huxley and the author of "Robert Elsmere" appeal.—Dr. Lyman Abbott, �Monthly Record of Events.

June is our Anniversary Month, the closing exercises of our various educational institutions being put into at least three of its four weeks. This week (the last of the month) we have the stimulating anniversaries of the Karhehameha schools. Last week we were entertained by the Punahou schools—collegiate and preparatory. Indeed, week before that we went to the annual picnic of the Sabbath school of the Central Union Church, and ran the bases with the married men for the encouragement of the small boys. We had all the exercises we wanted. But Anniversary Week proper begins with the Sabbath before the first Tuesday in June. Then the people commence to gather—pastors, delegates and friends at the churches to hear the missionary sermons. The first meeting this year was at Kawaiahao Church. It was a union meeting, and the auditorium of this notable structure was filled with a select audience. On the platform sat the clergy with Rev. H. H. Parker the pastor, and Rev. J. K. losepathe preacher for the morning. He was on appointment to preach the sermon on Foreign Missions, and his theme was the power of Christ's Kingdom, and the things that make it strong. In pleading for money he used the apt illustration of a kite. Boys fly kites, but they have to get the kite up to catch the wind, and so they must have string and pay out, and if they want the kite to fly high and sail like the moon, far overhead, they must have a large ball of string, and they need not only plenty of string, they must have tail to steady the kite in its far flight, and to keep it from diving down to destruction. Now, said the preacher, Micronesia is our kite, she lies far out upon the azure sea, but if we are to sustain her there, we must give her plenty of string and tail. — Our Anniversary Week is a full one. Meetings were held every day. Besides the parent society there are the auxiliaries that cluster with it: the Woman's Board, which, like woman, is needed everywhere; the General Sabbath School Association of the group, the General Young People's Christian Association and the Blue Ribbon League.

EVIDENCES OF GROWTH AND PROGRESS. Volumes in the libraries of 522 associations number 385,728. Educational classes are reported by 234 associations, literary societies by 148, lectures by 543 and sociables by 657; in each case a large increase over the figures of the last report. The attendance at the Bible and training classes, weekly prayer meetings, foreign missionary meetings, Gospel and daily prayer meetings and days of prayer for young and colleges indicates also an average gain. Situations to the no/Tiber of 7,619 were [July, 1889. secured by 277 associations. Railroad branches number 77, and boys' departments 162. Substantial progress is shown by the statement as a whole. INCREASING WEALTH OF THE ASSOCIATIONS. The buildings owned by the local associations are valued at $6,829,395; furniture, $688,136; libraries, $388,517, the volumes numbering 385,728, the figures showing a remarkable advance,. The increase in associations reporting has been in ten years about 33 percent.; in the Bible classes, 100 per cent.; the aggregate membership 200 per cent., a fact having an important bearing on the increase in what are called secular agencies. The increase in the total net value of property, real and personal, is $6,600,000. Another indication of growth is the change in the quality of the secretarial force. Sixty-one young men are now connected with the Springfield school, taking wholly or partially the two years' course, most of them with their instructors attending the convention. The report goes on to speak of the instruction in gymnastics, noting that most of the teachers are now Christian men. In relation to finance it is pointed out that the demand for assistance in securing building funds and building calls for a longer time of service in particular localities than was formerly given. In California, for example, one man could be employed in the matter of buildings for an entire year. Prolonged absence from home calls for expense, and the Committee will need an addition to the budget this year of $12,000, and as much more the year following. Publications, correspondence and offices in New York are additional items of expense, the committee having removed from the rooms furnished without charge by the association in that city. IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS SUBMITTED. An increase of the funds annually placed at the disposal of the committee, to the sum of $65,000 is asked in view of the growing magnitude and importance of the specific fields of effort open to it, viz.: at the East and Northeast, at the West and Northwest, on the Pacific coast, at the South and Southwest, in the Dominion of Canada, among the colored young men, among railroad men, among German and other young men speaking foreign languages, among students in colleges, among commercial travellers. General visitation of the better organized fields, including attendance at State and local conventions. The work at the central office, including correspondence and the distribution of printed and written information through circulars and the newspapers. And, as of special importance, the secretarial department of the work, including attention to the provision of gymnasium instructors.— Y.

"Ye that are the Lord's remembrancers, take no rest, and gfae him no rest, till he establish. and till he niaku Jerusalem ;i praise in the earth." Isaiah, tii:li, 7. Why may we not reverently, yet boldly adopt these glowing words, and apply them to ourselves as Christ's workers, and to the churches and people of these Hawaiian Islands? As was forcibly set before us last Sabbath evening, the Lord had chosen Israel for his inheritance. He had selected that little nation to be the center and seed-ground of his spiritual operations upon this globe. Through the long Old Testament centuries he concentrated his work of revelation and redemption upon Palestine. He chose Judah and Jerusalem for choice and peculiar religious culture, that they might learn somewhat to know the Lord, and so become qualified in their turn to make him known to all mankind. It was his desire that his church as planted at Jerusalem should grow into maturity and beauty. He wanted it to become " established," and be "a praise in the earth." Therefore should God's earnest working people,those especially called to his spiritual work, be intensely solicitous to gain the accomplishment of this great end. They should set themselves to it, and take no rest from their exertions to gain this noble result. They should give the Lord no rest, but be unceasing and importunate in their petitions to him to inspire and prosper the spiritual work, until Jerusalem, or the visible community of God's people, became strong and predominant, and over all the earth famed for its honor and sanctity, its beauty and purity. The fulfillment of this prophetic desire has not yet arrived in any completeness to old Jerusalem or to any considerable portion of Christ's visible church. We cannot yet tell whether it will ever have any especial fulfillment to that city on Judea's hills, or to that wonderful race of Israel scattered through many lands. It is common expectation that in a perhaps soon-coming day the churches of the Lord will cast aside their impeding weights and their benumbing sins, and will stand forth in their true heritage of strength and beauty, in the full power of the Holy Spirit, and likeness to their Lord. It is certain that every community of churches in the world should cherish such an ideal, and should press forward to realize it. It seems as if no community of Christian people in the world had a clearer call to take these words of the text to ourselves than we. That wonderfully strong and concentrated application of spiritual force which marked Jehovah's work for Israel has had something like its counterpart here. Fifty years ago, when after nineteen years of missionary labor our Hawaiian Bible was completed, 59 �THE FRIEND. 60 no such stigma among Hawaiians as large a proportion have been baptized they do among us, why should we re- this year past, as have been gathered quire their genuine Christians to be into all the Protestant churches in Japan proof against those?

Parsonages having been built, the Aid Society undertakes to furnish them. In many other ways the native pastors are assisted, and their efficiency promoted, and the native and foreign Christisns feel the bond of mutual kindness and help. It is to be hoped that similar Pastor's Aid Societies will speedily be formed on the other islands, availing themselves of the happy experience of Kauai, and that a very liberal support will be given them. All that we can do to promote the activity and efficiency of the Native Pastorate, will more effectively build up all the churches under their care than any other agency. Working in another way to the same end of pastoral efficiency will be our new missionaries from the American Board, whose leading work will be in spiritual aid and counsel to the pastors and their churches. One able and experienced man has already arrived whose earnest spirit is a great refreshment to us. We hope for more soon to follow. These men must be liberally supported out of such means as tlie Lord has bestowed upon his more favored followers.

I wish he had a coadjutor, who could take half his seminary work and care, before he succumbs to the pressure. He has been laboriously striving to gather a very moderate sum to decently house this important school. How can a better investment be made for the Lord's work than in putting this indispensable and most successful school of the prophets into a fitting condition? How are recruits to be found for the institute, candidates for training for the ministry? The most important feeder for supplying trained and devout young men, has been and is the Hilo Boarding School. This school is now languishing through poverty ( although eminently successful and prosperous in its work. Such a school is the creation of generations of faithful missionary work under the blessings of the Spirit of God. It calls for your liberal help. Its failure would be a most disastrous loss to our churches and to the supply of our Pastoral Force. Your are already conversant with the �Volume 47, No. 7.] THE needs and the inestimable service of our various Boarding and Training Schools for both sexes, and have learned to be generous in their maintenance. Every year will call for larger expenditure upon these in which lies so much of the nation's hope. There still lie before us the great and ever enlarging fields of evangelizing labor for the immigrant races. In this work our churches have already shown a high activity, and a zeal that is continually bringing its own reward to the earnest workers. Yet we can see how much more might be done and ought to be done at once. Our missionary to the Chinese ought by this time to be supported by one or more coadjutors to help in the enlarging work, while he himself should receive an adequate stipend, without need of recourse to privatemeans. These Chinese schools and churches are prospering and constantly pushing for extension. Shall they be cramped for lack of funds, as they have been ? Considering the great ness of our opportunity here, how small our past performance! Never was there a more successful and fruitful work for the Lord that that which in now going on for the Japanesepeople. It has not been costly to us. We ought to do more for it. It will inevitably need a great deal of help. So I might go on and point out this and the other call for support in the various branches of the Lord's work. Our more prosperous Christians have been largely called upon in past years, and have responded to the call as I believe, far beyond what is generally found in Christian churches. We may indeed greatly rejoice in the liberality of our prosperous Christians. They have been learning to give, and have tasted much of the luxury of giving. It now seems as if our Lord and King were calling on you to find a yet higher satisfaction in more abundant tribute. It has been a year of unwonted financial prosperity. Your means have been greatly augmented of late, and now the call comes is it not a clear and loud call ?—for you to deal generously by the Lord's work even as He has dealt graciously with you. Do this, and doubt not that He will greatly bless you. He will build you up spiritually. These renovated and spiritually enriched churches all over the Islands will in their turn impart to you and yours of their own spiritual increase. All things seem this year to point to a "new departure " in spiritual activity and in church growth and prosperity. Reinforced in personal strength of workers, invigorated by sufficient means, shall we not confidently ask and expect the one essential help of God's Holy Spirit without which all other expenditure and toil remain unproductive, but which help is never withheld from the prayers of Christ's workers? Let us then take no rest, brethren, from these holy labors and this sacred - 61 FRIEND. tribute, and let us give the Lord no rest, until as the years of effort and gifts and prayers go on we see him establishing this our Hawaiian Jerusalem, and making her a praise in the earth. Then shall bis word be fulfilled unto us, "Arise: shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." Annual Meeting of the W. B. M. P. I. The Woman's Board held their Annual Meeting the first week in June. On Tuesday afternoon, about forty ladies met in the ladies' parlor of the Central Union Church. Afrer the regular monthly business, the reports of the Home and Foreign .Secretaries were read. The foreign correspondence has been rather small this year. A few letters from members abroad and from Micronesia. The Home Secretary g;ive reports from the Maui branch, which has been in a very flourishing Condition during the past year; also from the Hilo branch. These are the only places outsice of Honolulu, where regular meetings are maintained. The Secretary of the Gleaners, Mrs. E. C. Damon, presented their report; and Mrs. Coan that of the Helping Hand. Both of these are Auxiliary Societies. Mrs. Miyama was present and gave an interesting account of their work among the Japanese. Mrs. J. M. Cooke read a paper, a memorial of Mrs. M. A. Alexander, giving quite a full account of her missionary life, Mrs. A. was for main- years a Vice-President of our Board. Miss M. A. Chamberlain read a touching memorial of our much missed member, Mrs. L. F. Dickson. Both of these papers will be found in the printed report. By request, this was followed by the singing of the Hymn ".Some Sweet Day, Bye and Bye," by Mrs. E. C. Damon and Miss M. Beck with. Business reported by Committees followed and the meeting was closed with the Doxology. The second session was held in the vestry of C. U. Church, taking the place of the Monthly Concert. Mrs. S. M. Damon had decorated the room very beautifully. Mrs. H. Bingham presiding; the opening exercises of prayer and Scripture reading were by Rev. E. G, Beckwith. Treasurer's Report was presented by Mrs. J. M.Whitney, Treasurer pro tern, showing a balance of $145 in the Treasury. Mrs. S. E. Bishop, Recording Secretary, gave quite a full account of the girl's school on Ponape, as represented by Miss Fletcher during her recent visit here, on her way to the States. Also extracts from letters written by Miss Palmer and Miss Dr. Ingersol with a brief sketch of the Home Work among Hawaiians and Chinese. A selected choir of girls from Kawaiahao Seminary sung an Anthem very sweetly. Thirteen little Chinese girls recited texts of Scripture and portions of Hymns, closing by singing "Jesus Loves Me," in English and Chinese. Miss Mary E. Green presented her reyort of Home Evangelistic Work, Mrs. F. W. Damon that of Chinese Work, both of which were exceedingly interesting and appear in full in the printed report. The Anthem "From the Cross Up Lifted High," was sung by Mrs. E. C. Damon and others. The closing address of the President Mrs. H. Bingham was upon the "Work of Woman for Women," as shown in the various Boards now in operation, showing how the work began, and how it has been carried forward. Benediction by Rev. E. G. Porter of Lexinton, Mass. The Annual Tea-Party given by the Woman's Board to the members of the Evangelical Association, was held on Thursday from 4to 6 P.M. About two hundred guests were present. The cordial hand-shaking and -aloha, testified to the good will prevailing. A bountiful repast of coffee and other refreshments gave social cheer. This was followed by programme, opened with prayer by the venerable Dr. Lowell Smith. Mrs. Bingham gave an address of welcome in Hawaiian. Dr. Hyde by request of Mrs. Bingham was in charge of these exercises. He called upon Judge Judd, Mr. P. C. Jones, Rev. O. Emerson, Rev. W. Westervelt; Rev. E. G. Porter, a young Chinese teacher, Mr. Ban, a Japanese, Rev. S. Desha, Rev. Nawahine, and a Gilbert Island teacher; for speeches, which were all happy in expression and met with cheerful response. Intersperse was selected, music by the Theological Students accompanied on the piano by their instructor, Mrs. Hyde. Also singing of Hymns in which all joined. Closed by singing "In the Cross of Christ I Glory." As evening drew on the company broke up, all ready to say, that they were taking away pleasant remembrances. Cornelia A. Bishop, Recording Secretary. Punchbowl. IRead at Oahu College, June 19th, by Ellen Bit knell. I We take pleasure in printing the following essay, by a young student*of Oahu College, both as a specimen of the scientific work being done under Professor Lyons, and for its great intrinsic interest. Punchbowl was so named because its circular shape and the crater in the top give it some resemblance to a great bowl. Being situated directly back of Honolulu, Punchbowl is a familiar sight to all, and many have been to the top to see the beautiful view which it affords. Standing on the summit, one can see for miles about him in every direction. In front the town, harbor and the ocean are seen, at the left Waikiki and Dia- �62 mond Head, to the right the Waianae mountains in the distance, and to the north Nuuanu and Pauoa valleys and the mountains. Altogether it is a view at which few can -keep from exclaiming in admiration. Under the supervision of the government a good carriage road is being made around the inner edge of the crater and running in a long, easy grade down the east side. It reaches the plain just beyond Lunalilo Home, when, turning to the south, it joins a street. Before long the townspeople and tourists will be able to enjoy the beautiful view without first having to undergo a toilsome climb. A drawback to the full enjoyment of the drive may result from the fact that the soil is soft and deep, so that it will be impossible to drive fast. Though many persons have climbed Punchbowl, doubtless only a few have thought to examine at all its geological structure, so that even a very meagre and imperfect description may be of some interest. Punchbowl is a tufa cone, whose highest point is about 500 feet above the level of the ocean. Like nearly all tufa cones, the sides of Punchbowl are steep; almost everywhere they are thickly covered with lantana bushes, making it uncomfortable to stray far from the paths. When disintegration began, the loosened particles were carried by the winds and rains from the steep slopes to the level plain. But in the bottom of the crater the decomposed rock remained, forming a soil so deep that a small forest of algaroba trees is growing well in it. A few weeks ago, some boys discovered what they thought were fossil shells. Investigation, however, showed that they belonged to the shellfish so commonly eaten by the natives, and that there were tell-tale bits of charcoal close by, the remains of a fire at which they had probably been roasted. No doubt the shells had been taken there by natives, and it may be only a few years' ago, since there was also found with them the flint of an old musket. A short distance below the flagstaff is the entrance of a cave. It is said that in, old times the natives were in the habit of placing their sacrifices on the ledges around this cave, because they believed that the spirits came up through it. It is to this practice that the hill owes its native name, "Puuowaina." How far in the cave extends and whether it was formed by nature or by man I am not able to say. The side of the hill just beneath it had been cut away to make the road, and had raised the opening so far above our heads that we were unable to reach it. The point on which the flagstaff stands differs from the rest of the crater in consisting of genuine lava. Some of this is compact and highly crystalline, and THE FRIEND.

Christianity somewhat of its former prestige here. It is beginning to be mooted in our magazine literature whether Protestantism possesses permanent elements of success as a missionary force. There are indications here both in the present status of our Hawaiian churches and in the comparative feebleness with which our Protestant agencies cope with the problem of evangelizing the non-Christian elements in our population that, in the minds of certain writers, of the Canon Taylor class, are proef positive of the decadent influence of Protestantism as a missionary agency. But we, who are acquainted with the situation, know well enough that this condition oT things is not indicative of inherent weakness in our religion but rather of a woeful absence of adequate forces to give proper impact to the power of our faith. There should be no disheartenment because there is so much about us needing to be done that is not being done. Protestantism having made signal triumphs in these islands that have thrilled the world, is not going to flicker out now like an exhausted candle. What it has done is the measure of what it can do, and what it must do toward the redemption of this land for Christ. It is puerile to say or think that the power which has wrought such changes here in the past sixty years is not equal to the task of coping successfully with the altered conditions of Christian endeavor now. Our Protestant agencies need to be rehabilitated, not superseded. The present movement to introduce new missionaries into this field, so auspici- ously begun, is indicative of an aroused sense of obligation; and in the light of the historical development of Christianity, the arousal of the sense of obligation for work needing to be done has always been the precursor of a definite advance and triumph of Christian forces. When Christian conscience is fairly awakened to the pressure of obligation, evangelistic enterprises in every direction feel the impetus and flow of new life. Let us look anew at the- obligations pressing upon this community and upon this Society as a missionary organization. These obligations are known to us all, none being present this evening who have not in greater or less measure felt their burden, bnt it is well that we look at them once more as we pause for a moment at the threshold of another year's outlook. There can certainly be no greater obligation resting upon us as our inheritance from the past than that we should see to it that the conquests of other years are not lost through default. It is essential to the integrity of Protestant missions the world around that the scenes of former triumphs of the Gospel in the Hawaiian Islands should not become the scene of signal defeat. The obligation is a very strenuous one that the successes of Protestant endeavor in sionaries was sufficient to justify the the past should be conserved in the in- sacrifice and life-long devotion of those terests of the human souls who are to be fearless men and women, the opportunredeemed and sustained in Christian liv- ity bequeathed to us to take up the ing.

It is only necessary in this connection to call attention to the.gradual disappearance of the causes which have led to this condition of things, and to the evident ushering in of a better era of confidence and good feeling. It is specially opportune to give play now to those kindly sentiments which characterized the days when Hawaiian church-life was at its best. A neglect to meet the obligation which the present opportunity offers, may, and probably will, seriously endanger the state of religion in all our churches, foreign as well as native. The reflex blessing of a good deed done is not more sure than the reflex damage resulting from an obligation not met. I do not need to emphasize these obligations, for they are recognized and their urgency realized by the membership of this society. I call attention to them anew that the spirit to meet them, which is abundantly apparent, may be stimulated and sustained by a consideration of the sources of inspiration which are included in this inheritance of responsibility. And first, I would direct your attention to the inspiration which should come to us in the thought that in a preeminent sense the work of evangelizing Hawaii nei is our work. I do not mean by this the work solely of this society, nor in the best sense do I mean by this the work of any organization here at the islands. Rather, I mean the personal responsibility and service of Christian foreigners. In the arrangements of God's Providence he has brought it about that there should be residing in the Hawaiian Islands at this time of special evangelistic need, a body of intelligent men and women, of like faith and purpose with the early laborers here, who are ready to assume obligations of no mean proportions and to sustain every wise gospel effort hy gifts and prayer. In God's Providence we are here, many as heirs by blood, some as heirs by the will of God, and being here, and being, as we trust, obedient unto the call of our inheritance, this is our work. This, indeed, should likewise be our inspiration. There is an ownership in obligation that is its own stimulus. For there is back of such obligation a tremendous pressure that, if we do not meet the responsibility which appeals with peculiar force to us, no one else is likely to feel the force of the appeal in anything like the same measure, nor can they, in any event, meet the obligation so advantageously and with such prospect of success. By a manful acceptance and discharge of responsibilities •peculiarly our own, we shall attract help from others. So much then is dependent on our attitude toward the resumption of missionary effort among Hawaiians, so much is possible in behalf of the race by faithfulness on our part, and by a dup recognition of the extent and bear- ing of our responsibility that we ought the facings of his character and influence to feel within us the promptings of a on Gospel effort at home and abroad. high and holy enthusiasm. The marching orders of the Christian church are, "Disciple all nations." In this vast undertaking Christian strategy plays its part, but this evidently does, not mean that the vantage points are all in the midst of dense population or on continental shores. No finer display of missionary strategy lights up the horizon of Christian conquest than the advent of the early Christians on the coasts of Britain. Isolated, barbarous, and apparently powerless to affect the destinies of the world, Britain might easily have been neglected in the onward movement of Christian zeal. The world is propelled by ideas. The heroism of missionaries on islands in the Pacific has electrified the Christian world and given propulsion to mission work such as most roseate tables of statistical growth in India or Turkey or China have been powerless to accomplish. A drifting canoe-load of Micronesians in whose hearts the Gospel of Christ has found lodgement is picked up by a passing vessel in mid-Pacific, carried to Asia and thence to America on their way back to their island home, affording an illustration in their daily demeanor of Christian fortitude and faithfulness that has been rarely surpassed in the annals of Christian dynamics. There is inspiration for us in the thought that, relatively, Christian effort in these islands is so important and essential to the world's salvation. The commercial and political importance of the Hawaiian Islands is out of all proportion to area and population. Recent complications in the Pacific have lent fresh emphasis to the fact that this importance hinges-on location. It is this fact which likewise makes these islands so essential to the progress of Christian ity in the world. A comparative!}' small outlay of missionary funds and of missionary forces can be made to preempt this land for Christ to the end of time. A sustained and aggressive Christian faith and practice in this mere speck on the bosom of the broad Pacific makes itself felt wherever steam or canvas carries men over the sea. There can he- One Christian life nobly lived here makes its pulse-beat felt on-every ship that leaves our shores, in every port where the white wings of commerce swell, in the teeming cities of inland China, in circles of Japanese diplomacy, in the city that looks out on the world through Golden Gates, in the lone islands to the west and south, in prosperous Australia, in distant mission fields where weary hearts are nerved to fresh endeavor by the story of faithful occupancy of consecrated soil, in the quiet homes which supply the means and men to sustain the effort for the world's redemption. In our limited population the relative value of individual souls in its bearing on the character of our civilization, and on the redemptive work of Christianity abroad in the world is so great that it should lend inspiration to every laborer in the vineyard. What may be done in the way of begetting Christian hope and purpose in one heart here, is equivalent in the total effect of Christian influence to a like result in the hearts of ten in inland China or Japan. A Christian community of twenty thousand in India or China or Japan does not begin to measure the value and influence of such a community in this highway of the nations. Our inheritance of responsibility is great, but the sources of inspiration are more than adequate to hold us to the highest type of constancy in Christian endeavor. Let no evil spirit of pessimism rob us of our birth-right and defraud us of our blessing. HAWAIIAN ALMANAC & ANNUAL FOB 188©.

The death of this venerable Christian man removes one of the best known old landmarks in our churches. For a long period until resignation on account of the infirmities of age, Mr. Thrum was one ofthe Deacons ofthe Bethel Church, greatly beloved and esteemed. After the establishment of the Sailor's Home, Mr. and -Mrs. Thrum were for many years its managers, and made it a success. Father and Mother Thrum thus became widely and kindly known to the wandering mariners of all the oceans, and by their simple, warm-hearted piety helped to win many of them to Christ. "Thomas Augustine Thrum born in London, England, November 17, 1811, and died May 5, 1889, in his seventy-eighth year. By trade a boatbuilder and shipwright, as was his father, he emigrated with his parents to New South Wales in 1838 or 1839, and soon after married Elizabeth Wharton McPhail, whose noble life ended only two years since. He arrived in Honolulu in 1851. His life among us has been one of laborious and.patient industry, and of devout and faithful Christian piety. He has rendered most useful and excellent service in Christian work. He will be especially remembered for his warm and earnest prayers and exhortations, which always had the savor of the genuine love and ardor of a true Christian heart. Those who heard Deacon Thrum pray always felt that here was one of the Lord's true disciples, loving and beloved of his Savior. Mr. Thrum is mourned by a large family of children and grandchildren. Among the best known of his children residing among us are Mrs. Judge Dayton and Mr. Thomas G. Thrum, Registrar of Conveyances. Aged as was the deceased, he could have said with old Israel, that he had not attained "to the days of the years of the life" of his fathers, since at last accounts his father was still alive in Australia at the age now of one hundred and two years. Father Thrum has gone from us, fully ripe in years, in piety, in faith. His departure was easy and peaceful. On his last Sabbath he worshipped in his usual place in church; the next Sabbath he rested from his labors with the redeemed ofthe Lord. �44 A Sunday Afternoon with our Chinese THE FRIEND.

Some ofthe Chinese are gathered about the long table which runs the length of the room, conning diligently their books, while a motley company gather about the doors, who are full of curiosity to see what this whole affair means. If they carry away with them nothing more than the memory of these kind friends' faithful attention to the good of their countrymen, they will not have lingered in vain. It is through these openings that the sunlight ofChristian love and benevolence reaches to and warms the hearts of men. Out once more in the open air and this time in the direction of the Kamehameha Schools, under whose protecting shadow we find a neat, pleasant school-house, where we find Mr, Terry and some of the young men from the institution, giving instruction to a group of Chinese who came from the neighborhood. As we watch the young Hawaiians, for whom so much is being done by faithful teachers, through the week, we rejoice to feel that they are also learning to share with others the light which they have received. We have but time for our most recently opened school, up Nuuanu Valley, in the native church on Wylie street, which the Hawaiians generously opened to us for this hour of the day and where the faithful old sexton is vigorously ringing the bell, as we arrive. It is a bright, pleasant building within, hung round with Bible pictures which are a lesson in themselves. Mrs. Jordan and several other kind friends, are begining the work here with good heart and will. 'The grateful faces ol the Chinese witness to their appreciation of this undertaking. May it prosper and grow! We would gladly linger longer at all these schools, but we have tinje for only a' hasty glance at this time. Some who have never visited these schools may ask. what is the good of all this effort ? We are sure those who are engaged in the work and know more about it are not troubled with such questionings, but rejoice in the privilege which is afforded them of sharing with others the blessed truths which have brought "ligh.t and life" to their own hearts. This effort we are convinced is productive of much good; it brings a large reward to both teacher and taught. It is a work which the Master owns and blesses. Most fervently do we hope that all Christian friends will earnestly pray that this work may go forward and increase in power and beneficent influence. At another time it may be interesting to note the progress of similar work at different points on the Islands. Most gladly will be welcome further additions to our teaching force here in Honolulu and in the country. F. W.

It contained forty-six hymns, prepared by Rev. Hiram Bingham, one of the pioneer missionaries of the A. B. C. F. M. In preparing the hymns he had the co-operation of Rev. William Ellis, one of the L. M. S. missionaries to Tahiti. It will be remembered that Mr. Ellis providentially visited the Sandwich Islands on his way to the Marquesas, was persuaded to remain a while, and greatly assisted the American missionaries in many ways during his stay in these islands from April 1823 to September 1824. The original of many of these early Hawaiian hymns will be found in the Tahitian hymn book. The second edition, of sixty-three hymns, was published in 1827; the third in 1830, wit* 100 hymns; the fourth, 194 hymns, in 1837. Rev. Mr. Bingham edited all these, and wrote the prefaces with directions for reading and singing. On his departure from the islands in 1840, Rev. Lorenzo Lyons took up the work of translating and composing hymns, and supervised the next four editions of the hymn book. 'The fifth, published in 1*46, contained 274 hymns; the sixth, 1855, had 311 hymns; the seventh, 404, in 1864; the eighth and last, published in 1870 and printed in several successive editions of 1,000 each, comprises 612 hymns. Of these 363 were translations of English hymns, such old favorites as "A Charge to Keep I have,'' "Alas land did my Saviour bleed," &c, &C, and recent popular hymns also, "A light in the window,'" Beautiful City," "Depth of mere}' can there be," "He leadeth me," &c, &c. Of these 61 2 hymns Rev. A. O. Forbes wrote one; Rev. R. Armstrong two; Rev. A. Bishop seven; Rev. W. Ellis eight; Rev. H. Bingham ninetytwo; Rev. L. Lyons 472. Continuing his missionary labors for over fifty years " 1832-1886, at Waimea, Hawaii, Father Lyons took great delight, atone station, during all the feebleness of his later years, in writing as regularly as the week came round at least one hymn. He sent these hymns to Honolulu for publication in the Kuokoa, the weekly Hawaiian newspaper. He also prepared two Sunday School Hymn Books, the Lei Alii (Royal Crown) in 1878, pp. 160, 157 hymns; and in 1881 the Hoku Ao Xani (Beautiful Morning Star), 288 hymns, 306 pp. This last was published at his own cost and charges with the money given him ($1,200) as a jubilee testimonial from the Hawaiian Sunday Schools. A similar but smaller S. S. Hymn and Tune Book had been published in 1870 (republished 1872) the Hae Hoonani (Banner of Praise), containing thirty-six hymns, originally pub- 45 THE FRIEND. child's paper, published by the Hawaiian Board. The Leo Hooninna is a similar smiiil collection. Earlier children's hymn books were the Hintent Kamalii, published in 1832, a second edition in 1838, ten hymns, pp. 12, with a condensed.rhythmical compend of the Ten Commandments; and the Lira Kamalii, the hymns edited by Rev. E. Bond, and the tunes by Rev. G. B. Rowell, published in 1862, republished in 1867, pp. 192, 148 hymns. A Temperance Song Book, Mclc Pnali Inuwai, forthe Bands of Hope, was published in 1849. Another, Kiilu Wat Liili'i (Little Drops of Water), was printed in 18*7. A separate treatise on the rudiments of music, Kiiiiiu Leomele, printed in 1832. was also bound up with the third edition of the hymn book. Instead of the usual do, re, mi, Mr. Bingham chose for the Hawaiian gamut the syllables pa, ko, li, hd, no, la, mi, and singing the scale in Hawaiian is called pa-ko-li. just as spelling the syllable pa. pa, Sec, in the first Hawaiian primer, has led to giving the name pi-a-pa to the Hawaiian alphabet as well as to the spelling book. The Lira Hawaii, a tune book printed in several ed'lions, 1814, 1816, 1848, 1855, contains the collection of the standard church tunes, 226 in all, and 95 chants in common use in the Hawaiian churches. In 1872 a selection of sixty of the Moody and Sankey Gospel Hymns, Na Himcni Euauelio, translated by Rev. L. Lyons, was published by the Hawaiian Board, and met with a speedy sale. A second selection of sixty hymns was published in 1884, and a third in 1886. These three are now bound together and sold as one book, and a new edition of 1,000 has just been published. These books proved of great service in making successful the evangelistic meetings held during that time. The Catholics published a hymn book and tune book in 1564, and the English Episcopalians a hymn book in Hawaiian for their school and church use in 1863. c. M. H. News has been received from Dr. Secretary of the A. B. C. F. M., that a new missionary has been found for the Micronesian field, a Rev. John J. Forbes, who is to be stationed with the Rev.

If she comes she may be expected in time for the return of the Morning Shir. Mrs. Snelling is to come on at the same time, and possibly another lady teacher to go to the assistance of the depleted and burdened Kusaiean workers. Another thousand dollars for the Theological Institute! Good; but it is not good enough yet; seven thousand is not sufficient; we want ten thousand, and a lot more for other things besides. (Continued from page 40.) So far as it goes its influence is in- valuable. It is in the hands of an able and a good man who speaks truth in wisdom and fearlessness. Once a month things get said in it which need to be said. For years it has been voicing our best convictions, and yet it is permitted to do this only at the lengthy interval of the month. That is not frequent enough for these days. It is crippled in its beneficent work foi want of means. It needs enlargement; capital should be put into it; capital could not make a better investment for itself than this. We are in need of an influence to be put forth in the fear of God and his truth, just such as this paper represents, and only asks to be pecuniarily backed that it may wield it. The Friend should be granted a semi-monthly issue. This would greatly magnify its power. It would freshen its pages and make it doubly attractive both at home and abroad. A semi-monthly issue would meet better the times of our mails— would send our voice abroad, that in sonorous tones it might repel the false reports that now in their outbound course so frequently get the start of us. This semi-monthly issue would put us at a vastly greater advantage in the struggle with evil than we are now in. But to achieve such a result as this would require capital and a properly salaried editor. The man is at hand if only the money were forthcoming. Diversity of Churches a Blessing. The English people is too rich in religious character and political achievment to have been the creation of any one church. No one of them all can survey our mighty millions at home and beyond the seas and say, " Lo! all these are the work of my hands." 'Towards the result every, even the obscurest, sect has contributed, and churches not ofthe English state are yet of the English people, means and agents by which the spirit and truth of Christ have been translated into English conduct, custom, law. Presbytery helped to preserve and develop our representative institutions ; Independency to evoke and discipline our love of freedom; Quakerism to deepen and strengthen the need of inwardness, simplicity and ethical reality in religion; Methodism to accentuate the value of personal conviction, sincerity, zeal. God has had some message to send through each special community, or it would not have been. It is a shallow and futile philosophy of history that finds God for Esurope only in the Catholic, or for England only in the Anglican Church —that sees in the Protestant or Free Churches only the spirit of schism or wilfulness or perverse individualism. God's ways are despised that honor may be done to a potent and venerable ecclesiastical order.—A. M. Fatrbairn, �46 THE FRIEND. The Messrs. Gulick on Church Consolidation. An Eminent Citizen.

The organic being scorned on earth for their poverty. this union of the Church of Christ has been the dream Fear not, ye sacred souls. of every age, but the realization of none. This [June, 1889. dream has been fostered by the persistent misun derstanding of Christ's prayer that all his own might be one. even as he himself and the Father were one. That Christ did not here refer to the organic unity of the Church is'what commentators insist on. The machinery of the Church was nothing to him (he seldom even spoke of it), compared to the unity of spirit and brotherly love, which alone could give the Church true life and power in spreading the Gospel. It is high time, therefore, that Christians should understand this, and to give up the day-dream that organic unity of the Church will of itself give real power to the Church in saving men or redound to the glory ol God. The shame and weakness of the Church is not that there are many organizations, but rather that there are and have been dissensions and conflicts, so long and so bitter, all of which are due to the lack of that very unity of spirit for which Christ did pray. , However, every church has dreamed of and longed for organic union, and all have been ready and anxious to have the rest join with them. This is also the condition of union urged by the Roman and Episcopal churches, for the reason that they are, as they claim, the only true churches. This is also the condition of union offered by the Presbyterian churches to those of other politic*. Congregationalists alone have been the ones will ing to abandon their own polity, and to make an attempt at union, for the sake of the advantages which it seemed to offer. Their experience in these attempts for over a hundred years has been a bitter one, and they are beginning to see that success is impossible from the very nature of the case; they are beginning to hear the voice of hi*tory, which says, not in words, but in deeds, that those who xxould retain the practical advantages of freedom must hold fast to the fact of such free dom. That polities so opposite as the prelatical, the Presbyterian, and the Congregationalism which have been truly characterized as the autocratic, the aristocratic, and the democratic, should not be able to form genuine unions is a necessary consequence ot the nature of their polities. But why unions should not take place between bodies having the same polity is difficult to see. Such, indeed, have been the successful unions in the past, chiefly in the Presbyterian denominations, and of which the present Union Presbyterian body in Japan (Ichi Kyokwai) is an example. But it is a' strange fact that there, are in the United States thirteen distinct Presbyterian bodies, which have not yet been able to unite; many efforts have been made within the last four years to effect such unions between the larger bodies, but all the efforts have signally failed, and, according to their own leading historian, there is now no pros pect left that such union will take place in this century. Though among the Presbyterian bodies there have been many successful unions, there have been more disruptions. So long, therefore, as Presbyterian bodies cannot secure organic union among themselves, who have nothing to surrender as to polity, it is idle for them to make charges against Congregationalism, because, forsooth, it will not entirely give up its polity and become Presbyterian. Were it a question of Presbyterians becoming Congregationalists. of course the latter would have no objection. Were the Ichi Kyokwai churches ready, perchance, to modify the constitution by leaving out, among other things, the system of courts, and so make the proposed Nippon Kirisuto Kyokwai a genuine Congregational body, it would be the first conspicuous instance in history of Presbyterians, by union, becoming Congregational, and would be a happy omen for the future of Japan. Like all churches, however, Presbyterians are, ready for union, when it is the other polity that i* to surrender. If you are in the spirit of prayer,' do not be long, because other people will not be able to keep pace with you in 6uch unusual spirituality; and if you are not in the spirit of prayer, do not be long, because you will be sure to weary the listeners. — John Macdonald. �Volume 47, No. 6.J Rev. W. D. Westervelt. The Friend is glad to extend its welcome to this able and excellent brother, who is the first of the hoped for reinforcement to be sent by the American Board to co-operate in the work of late supplied almost solely by the labors of Dr. Hyde. Mr. W. comes with a noble record of able and successful work for souls in Colorado, and with a fund of ministerial experience which must be largely applicable even in the new and peculiar social conditions to be met among Hawaiians. We are glad to learn that he has made a most favorable impression already among the Hawaiian churches and their pastors, among whom he comes to labor as a Ii :end and counsellor, especially to the young pastors, who find themselves, deprived of the stimulating spiritual and intellectual influences of the Seminary where they were trained.

This page devoted to the interesti of the Hawaiian Board of Mission*, and the Editor, appointed b> the Hoard is rwAponstbk for it* contents, is Rev. 0. P. Emerson, . - Editor, Our Needs. It h.is been suggested that we ought to know our needs, and that a chaptei might properly he written on them. The meeting of any need must come in con- i with the knowledge of it. Before we make our provision, we find out w hat we are asked to provide for. Any adt quate summary of our needs must a!\\ ,i\ b include the mention of spiritual things. When though they are mentioned, the summary should not be understood to be complete. There are institutions among us which are sorely in need of spiritual helps. It is their defect that they are too material. Hut this charge was never, to our knowledge, brought up against any missionary organization. They are generally regarded as unduly spiritual, and as rather lacking in the things of this world. The latter charge is a true one. Missionary organizations, unworldly as they may he in their aim, have yet great need of the substantial things of this world; and this need, imperative as it is, has been only partially recognized. So meager is this recognition that it is a public scandal, and provokes ungodly mirth. A missionary carriage is understood to he a sort of ramshackle of a a missionary horse is an old, used up plow-horse,' without spirit or gait ; a missionary bouse well, it is a house that is rarely painted or repaired, and when work is clone on it, it is of the cheapest kind and has no regard for taste. The missionary must not growl if things are so, nor utter a word of complaint for himself. But the world sees it. and understands why it is so. Missionary operations must be carried on at the lowest possible expense; they must go as far possible and cost a:- little- as possible. There must be no extravagance nothing may go for show; there must beno sentiment about it. So far as the missionary is concerned he says that retrenchment is the word of the day. He tuts his cloth according to the pattern of an iron necessity. Hut it is not good for the rest of us that this should he so. We should feel that nothing is too good for our nr ;s nnaries. We cannot neglect them and fail of neglecting ourselves. Ourrememb ances ought to be rentii red them i:i the name of our own good. We plead in behalf of the reflex influence of such em nb.ances.

Fuller, - - - - Editor. The Outlook. The last number of The Friend contained the full report of the twentieth anniversary of this Association, held April 25th. That event closed the old year and ushered in the new. More radical changes have been made in the various committees, and more time put into the arrangement of the work this year than ever before, and the good results are already apparent. Nearly every committee has its work well in hand. The committees upon devotional work and invitations have taken hold with a will. The other committees are falling into line, and everything indicates that this will be one of the most prosperous years in the history of this Association. The growing interest in our work on the part of our younger members is very encouraging; this and the recent accessions to our force give a new impulse to the entire institution. This year it was decided to carry a good theory, regarding our finances, into actual practice, and during the first month try to secure pledges enough to cover the expenses for the entire year. As the Finance Committee were unusually occupied last month, the General Secretary came to their assistance in receiving a renewal of expired pledges and getting a large number of new ones. It was a new experience in this city, and one that for real pleasure and encouragement in the work, we think cannot be duplicated by any Secretary in any Association field in Christendom. The cordial welcome, hearty sympathy and large liberality with which we were greeted was refreshing and inspiring when compared with some fields in a larger country than this, that could be mentioned. There is still room and need for more pledges to meet the requirements of the year. Those desiring to help either the foreign or Hawaiian department can leave their names with Mr. C. M. Cooke, Chairman of the Finance Committee, or with Secretary Fuller, at the Rooms. There has been considerable just criticism about the arrangement of cur Hall for purposes of public entertainment. During the past few weeks this difficulty has been largely overcome by the permanent enlargement of the platform, and an arrangement of the curtains when they are needed, that will give a good view of the platform from all parts ofthe hall. This will improve the conditions for the work of the Entertainment Committee, and also make our hall more de- sirable for renting on proper occasions. The Association have voted to continue the occupancy of the Queen limma Branch another year. The various uses to which it is put for the benefit of three important nationalities seems to abundantly warrant the necessary outlay for the continuance of the work. Any contemplated aid of purse or presence can be reported to Judge Judd, chairman of the committee. Sunday Evening Service. erything he could lay his hands on.

Study the Bible. During the last two months the attendance at the Sunday Evening Praise Service has very much increased, and a new spirit seems to pervade the meetings. This is largely the result of new plans and increased personal effort on the part of the new Devotional Committee. We want the good work to go right on, and it will, if all the members will take a personal interest and help the Committee by coming to the meetings themselves and inviting others, and then doing their.duty when there. Some neat invitation cards havebeen prepared for the use of members in inviting young men to this service, and can be obtained ofthe General Secretary. The meeting is held in the Hall every Sunday evening at 6:30. Young men and strangers are cordially invited. Ths topics for the month are as follows: June 2—Drifting. Acts 24:24-27. Heb. 2:1-4. June 9 —What Doest Thou Here? Kings 19:9-18. Ps. 56:3. June 16—Objection to Truth does not make it less true. Jer. 19:14-15. 20:1-6. 39:1-2. June 23—They let slip their Opportunity.

Do not skim it or read, but study it, every word ; study the whole Bible, Old Testament and New; not your favorite chapters merely, but the complete Word of God from beginning to end. Don't trouble yourself with commentators; they may be of use if kept in their place, but they are not your guide. Your guide is "the Interpreter," the one among a thousand (Job xxxiii, 23) who will lead you into all truth (John xxi, 13), and keep you from all error. Not that you are to read no book but the Bible. All that is true and good is worth reading, if j'ou have time for it; and all, if properly used, will help you in the study of the Scriptures. * * * Let us read and re-read the Scriptures, meditating on them day and night; they never grow old, they never lose their sap, they never run dry. Don't let man's book thrust God's book into a corner; don't let commentaries smother the text; don't let the true and the good smother the truer and the better. Beware of light reading. Shun novels; they are the literary curse of the age ; they are to the soul what ardent spirits are to the body.

One subject which specially interested the students was the place which Christianity holds in the colleges and among the highly educated of the West. Many of them had been led to think that Christianity was losing its hold upon our in- tellectual classes. This outrageous false- hood has been circulated in Japan byskeptical professors from lingland, Germany and America. The same men also tell their countrymen that Christianity is a failure in Japan. One of these American misrepresentatives has the effrontery to challenge me to find a single Christian in Japan. I shall consider my mission to the young men of the liast a success if it simply enables me to say to the students of the Christian and government schools that while only one in twenty of all classes of our American young men combined is a member of an evangelical church, betM'een one-half and one-third of the young men in the colleges and universities are professing Christians. Any one wishing to strengthen his faith in Christianity by verifying these figures will find them in the table of College Associations in the last Year Book published by the International Committee. The only audience to which these figures appeared unpalatable was a large meeting held in a theatre in Kyoto. The students of Doshisha conducted the it, but it was not necessary. I had com- T D.

For many good reasons, this report found little credence in Honolulu. Still we were somewhat anxiously waiting to have all doubts removed. April 6th, the Alameda came, with intelligence of a disaster at Apia entirely different from the one reported, even more distressing in its outward circumstances, and perhaps equal in loss of life, yet appealing wholly to our tenderest sympathy, and devoid of all the hostile and bitter feelings which the first reported event was adapted to kindle. The news was very startling; very shockirjg. We were all filled with wonder and sorrow. The strange and painful event of the wrecking of the American and German squadrons by a hurricane in the harbor of Apia was one that came very close to the hearts of the Honolulu people from the fact that the Vandalia, which experienced the severest stress and loss of the American ships, had so recently spent more than a year in our quiet harbor, and that her officers had been peculiarly intimate in Honolulu society, and many of her warrant officers most favorably known. Captain Schoonmaker and Paymaster Arms were especially honored in our churches. It is most grievous to think of their protracted Struggle with the whelming surges, until beaten exhausted from their hold on deck, they disappeared. We had formed a special acquaintance and esteem for Lieut. Wilson, who was rescued from the Vandalia's rigging, after having been stripped by the wind of all his clothing. How glad we are that so much of a man Avas saved, though he lost all his belongings. We figure too, the noble form of Flag Lieutenant Rittenhouse, helping all day to fight the Trenton against the cyclone and along the reef, and to fire the lifelines to the Vandalia sufferers. So the Honolulu people each thought of those they had best known, and all our hearts went out towards them. It is long since so great a sensation has been created here by any event abroad. Memorial services were held during the week at the Anglican and Roman Catholic cathedrals, and at the Central Union Church. At the latter place, the floral decorations were unprecedentedly profuse. The hearts of the people and of their pastors were very deeply in the commemorations and the prayers, for our friends so ruthlessly swept away by the tempest, and for those who survived. We remembered also the sufferers of both nationalities, those whom we knew not, as well as those we know. While our English brethren shared in the common sorrow, they enjoyed a special pride in the gallant feat of their Calliope which after losing all her anchors, and so, as it were, all hope, doggedly defied the tremendous billows, and forced her mighty way in the teeth of the tempest, out into the open ocean. This was grand fighting; but no braver than the defeated battle of the weaker ships that perished. The fate of some of these was terrible. One, the Eber, was flung bodily against the reef and dashed to pieces in a moment, all on board but four, perishing. Another, the Adler, as we see in the photographs of the wrecks, lies far up on the reef, 33 NUMISKR 5.

Common suffering and mutual aid and sympathy must most effectually tend to allay the animosity Avhich had arisen between America and Germany, and which the reported sinking of the Nipsic was fanning into bitterness, We are very hopeful of hearing that this event has had a most favorable influence towards amicable and cordial action in the Berlin conference upon Samoa affairs. It is very remarkable how this remote and quiet little group has been forced into so conspicuous a position, and how the eyes of the world are now so effectually turned upon it by means of the most singular naval disaster qfthe period. Mrs. Mary H. Benfield. The death of this estimable lady at Berkeley, California, on the thirtieth of January last, calls for especial notice in The Friend. Mrs. Benfield had spent the most of her years among us, and for a long period as a member of FortStreet Church. She was born at Kailua in 1831, third daughter of the noble pioneer missionary, Asa Thurston. Her school education was completed at Mt. Holyoke Seminary. In her parent's life she occupied a larger part than any other of their children. It fell to her to minister to their closing years, and after her mother's death to edit and publish her autobiography. Mrs. Benfield's life was one of great and often afflictions, borne with rare Christian serenity and courage. Her repeated widowhood left her to much of the stress of poverty, but strong to bear her burdens, laboring hard in household and schoolroom. Many now in active life remember her affectionately as a teacher of their childhood. Of all Mrs. Benfield's immediate family, there survive but one sister, Mrs. Persis Taylor, and one son and daughter, to whom the departed mother's memory will be most blessed. How consoling our assured hope in the risen Redeemer, in whose welcoming bosom is rest for the ransomed soul after such heavy sorrows and toils as were experienced by our sister who has gone home. �34 Samoans as an Evangelizing People. In our last issue, we gave some account of Rev. A. W. Murray's valuable history of "The Bible in the Pacific." In reading this book, the fact of which we were already aware, became still more apparent, how extensively Samoan teachers were employed as pioneers in the evangelization of Western Oceanica. This is of peculiar interest at this time, when recent events have been placing this interesting people very conspicuously bef :e the world. The French navigator La Perouse who visited the group in 1787, described it as "one of the finest countries in the universe," while he branded the natives' as "atrocious savages, whose shores ought not to be approached." This language Avas owing to the fatal result of a skirmish, provoked by the shooting of a native for theft, in which affray Commander Dc Langle and several savants of La Perouse's expedition lost their lives. The truth is, Mr. Murray says, that whole they were heathens of a milder type than those found on any other group or island of Polynesia." Cannibalism and human sacrifices were unknown; the children were loved and cherished; the aged were respected and reverenced; the sick, as a general rule, carefully tended; the women were almost, if not quite, on an equality with men. From other sources we learn that domestic and social purity are carefully regarded. As a consequence the population is slowly increasing. In 1843 it was estimated at 33,900, in 187(>, at 35,181. It is believed to be noAV still "on the larger. The gospel Avas first carried to Samoa from Tahiti by Messrs. Williams and BarlT, in 1830. Mr. Murray landed there in 1838. The Avhole Bible was first printed in 1855, and in the year I**7 alone, 1023 Bibles were sold among the native Protestant population of 30,000 souls. The record of the landing of Samoan teachers and their labors on distant islands is a very remarkable one. These recent converts to Christ, full of zeal and devotion for their Lord who had saved them and filled them with light, went far and wide as pioneers of that new light and life,' among the savage and degraded tribes, where a white man could scarcely live at all. It is difficult to see how, without the preparatory labors of these simple and devoted Samoan Christians, the gospel could have been successfully introduced, or white men have found a foothold at all among some of the fearfully debased tribes of Melanesia. The earliest landing of Samoan teachers which is recorded in this book was at Rotuma in November, 1839, where Rev. Joseph Waterhouse began to labor fifteen years later. A few days later, November 18, others were landed THE FRIEND. at Tanna in the New Hebrides, conduct- ed there by Rev. John Williams. It was on the very next day that he met his death by savage hands on the neighboring island of Eramanga. It was nineteen years before white missionaries obtained strong foothold upon Tanna, while some of the Samoan teachers had been slain by the heathen. At Niua in the New Hebrides Samoans were placed in 1810; at Aneiteum and Fotuna in 1841; at Fate or Sandwich I. in 1845; and at Mare in the Loyalty group in 1841. To Niue, south of the Fijis, they carried the gospel in 1849. The waste of life was great among these devoted people; but the places of the departed were bravely and eagerly filled, and the ranks of the teachers well reinforced from the training school in Samoa. The Samoans thus stand before us as a people who have besn peculiarly active and fearless in furthering the Gospel of our Lord and Redeemer. We believe that He rules over the affairs of the world. We believe that the enterprise of enlightening and converting the nations to Him is the enterprise which is dearest to His heart. We believe that He is steadily carrying on the war against Satan's kingdom of darkness and idolatry, and carrying it forward to victory, by the means and services of all who love to work in this warfare. Those who are thus engaged, we must also believe, are especially dear to the Head of the Kingdom, and the Captain of the host. In accordance Avith this view, we cannot be surprised to find that He exerts a peculiar protection over those peoples and tribes who are forward to receive and cherish the gospel, and especially over those who are active in carrying the gospel to others. Nowhere has this fact been more marked than in the manner in which the independence, autonomy, and secular prosperity of the Hawaiian kingdom has been promoted and maintained. The Samoans have been lately undergoing a fierce struggle, and enduring the severest aggression from the most formidable of military powers. Recent events indicate that the tempest of war and conquest is about to pass them by, leaving them in the enjoyment of freedom and autonomy. Is it a vain imagination, if we surmise that the Great Protector of His people has been especially at work for the Samoans, or entertain a strong expectation, that they will be brought out of their troubles into "a large place" of honor and wellbeing ? It is certainly premature to indulge in fancied interpretations of the marvellous ways of Divine Providence, but we must watch the outcome of events with the deepest interest. In connection with the late disaster to the naval forces at Apia, it is of peculiar interest to learn that the Samoan forces arrayed against the Germans, laid aside their warfare, and applied themselves to [May, 1889. the work of humanity in relieving the distresses of their foes and their allies alike. Such Christian conduct must win them a kindly regard from all parties, which will go far to aid in the removal of their difficulties. Native Testimony to the Prevalence ofIdolatry. We are permitted to print the following extracts from a letter of one of the best of the native school teachers to Miss Mary Green. After making some favorable statements about Temperance Avork among the people of his district, he adds: "There is a very great amount of idolatry and wickedness in this nation, a nation that has been consecrated to Jehovah, but which has strayed from the path of right. I declare to you, that among some of the parents of these children, (his scholars) there is great Avorshipping of idols.

Where then are the men who have the courage to go forth and overturn the old superstitions of Hawaii nei ? From Hawaii to Kauai this nation is densely enshrouded in these abominations. The ministers are very fearful about going out to resist these things, lest they die by the power of these sorcery gods. Are such ministers real Christians? I declare to you, my dear friend in the Lord, that out of one hundred church members there are ten who do not serve other gods, and ninety who do worship them. If the Deplorable are the evil results. people were properly instructed, they Avould see the evil of it. Are there not some men to be found, free from superstition, and valiant for Jehovah, to go forth and overthrow the ancient superstitions in Hawaii ? I assert there are such men, and these are their names (naming three native ministers and a layman). Many of them, I fear are prone to go backward when Satan tries them, being sometimes orL the Lord's side and sometimes on the Devil's. There is no good in serving two masters. The work of our church and the pastor is going on well." It is truly encouraging to be assured that ten percent, of the church members are free from any tampering with superstitious practices. It is not to be assumed that there is no genuine piety among the rest. We are sure that there is much love of the Lord, but that they do not realize the sin of idolatry to which their fears incite them.

The fact has not unfrequently been reported to us, of certain Hawaiian pastors permitting the employment of kahunas with their enchantments for sick members of their families, and even of such a pastor himself being attended in his last sickness by a kahuna with his idolatrous arts. These are not disheartening facts; they merely indicate the continued necessity for much influence and care to be still expended upon our immature Hawaiian churches "and their pastors by those churches which first gave them the gospel. The needed agencies for this care are, we trust, soon to be actively at work. — �36 [May, 1889. THE FRIEND. Our Lord's Second Coming This grand event must remain shrouded in much mystery, until its prophecy is fulfilled. It is the topic of the International Sunday School lessons for last Sunday and next Sunday. Dr. Peloubet's commentaries on previous lessons we have found reliable and rich in suggestion. We regret in these lessons to find him adopting in explanation the clumsy expedient of a "threefold coming" of the Lord. One of these comings (only metaphorical) he supposes to have been at the destruction of Jerusalem. But our Lord expressly warned his disci pies against supposing that he would come at that time; Mark 13: 5, 6; Matt. 24: 23-28. He emphatically declares, in the 28th verse, that his coming, when it takes place, will be universally conspicuous. It seems most clear that nothing short of a visible, personal coming in indescribable majesty and glory is meant. Compare 2 Thess. 2: 8, "the brightnets of his coming." To talk of "spiritual" comings is a cheap and very misleading expedient for solving supposed posing that these "things", and "that day and hour", refer to the same event. It is indeed only by admitting the force of this antithesis, which is so plain in the Greek, and by so not confounding and mixing up the two distinct subjects, that any one can make sense out of this passage, otherwise you make our Lord strictly define the date of the predicted event as in "this generation", and in his next breath declare that no being but God knows when it will happen ! Christ's disciples asked him two distinct questions. 1. When shall these things be? i.e., the destruction of Jerusalem of which he had been warning them. 2. What was the time of his coming, and of the end of the aeon ? He gave them two distinct answers. The first event would come in that generation as it did. Nothing there about his own coming. Then, after a solemn pause, he replies to the second question, that the time of his own glorious Advent was unknown to men or angels. The one was close at hand; the other in the future. our Lord's preceding statements, In difficulties. his references to the one event and to So Dr. Peloubet blunders on about the other are somewhat alternated; but Christ, to another "spiritual coming" o£ usher in the millenium. His final coming at the end of time and the general judgment, he allows to be a visible one. Thfe truth is, our Lord predicts only one Coming, and that so grand as to be undoubted and unmistakeable, confounding all His enemies. All attempts to make out several comings or "spiritual" comings seem to us a gross perversion of Christ's words, and a beclouding of the Avhole subject. Of course we have no space for extended discussion of this great subject, on which so many books have been written. Our immediate object is to point out to our Sunday School teachers, what have long seemed to us key-words in these chapters. They are found in Matt. 24: 34, 36, and in Mark 13: 30, 32, being alike in both records. They are the antithetical Avords "These" "that." "These things," i.e. the destruction of the Holy City, shall occur in "this generation." "But of that day and that hour," his second Coming, "knoweth no m.ni. This antithesis is peculiarly strong in the Greek, "tauta remote it is quite easy to distinguish what words relate to each of the two events, if you do not let the commentators confuse you. Each class of statements will be seen to be appropriate to its own subject, and the whole will crystallize into clearness as you dwell upon it. Let us, above all, beware how we belittle or becloud that supreme event of our Lord's Second Coming, which awaits the church, and which He and his apostles held up in such glory of expectation. Central Union Church—A large Addition to the Membership. The quarterly Communion of the Lord's Supper was observed in this church on the 14th of April. The sea- son was made memorable by an accession to the membership of fifty-eight persons—twelve by letter, and forty-six on profession. The propounded candidates occupied front seats clear across the church. A majority were youth and children of church families. It was a deeply touching scene and moment as they all stood and took upon them their happy and sacred vows to the Lord's service, and as the pastor in the name of the church moved among them and gave to each the right hand of fellowekeines". ship, pronouncing Bible words of blessall the supposed difficulties of ing and Nearly exhortation.

These, however, had made as clear, earnest and apparently intelligent statement of faith, love and purpose as had some youth much older. Being children of devout and faithful parents, who will watch and guide them, we do not anticipate in them less persistence in piety than in the others. Our pastor, in whose wisdom and discernment we have great confidence, was earnestly in favor of the course taken. It is from the trained children of Christian homes that a large proportion of the best developed character in the church must be looked for, although in His grace, the Lord converts and rears up many able and holy men and women from nonreligious families. Happy are the churches and the pastors who bring in abundant fruit both from within and from without the church fold. The house was crowded on this occassion. It was an interesting circumstance that one of the Deacons landed from the steamer with his wife just in time to witness the public profession of Christ by two of their daughters. From each of five families two children came together. May it be granted to this favored church that such happy harvestdays shall recur again and again, each successive accession pressing forward as the years go on, to higher, purer, wiser and holier Christian attainments than those who preceded them. So do the churches truly grow and move forward toAvards the "perfect man in Christ Jesus." Kauai Association. The Kauai Association met at Waimea Wednesday, April 24th, continuing its sessions through Thursday and Friday. There was a full attendance of pastors and delegates. Rev. J. B. Hanaike, of Lihue, was chosen Moderator, and S. K. Oili, of Anahola, Scribe. The reports from the different parishes presented a more encouraging state of affairs than could have been given a year ago. At Waimea, G. Lilikalani Kopa, who graduated from the N. P. M. I. last year, has had the confidence and respect of the people in his endeavors to carry on evangelistic work in that community. Mr. C. B. Hofgaard has raised money enough to shingle the old stone church, though it needs some more money to put it in order for occupancy. The old Whitney house has been torn down, the stones sold to the sugar mill, and the proceeds put aside towards the building of a new parsonage whenever it may be needed. Mr. Hofgaard has shown great interest in the educational, religious, and business prosperity of the community, and has acted as Assistant Sunday School Superintendent the past year. All speak well of S. Ekaula, who, since the death of Rev. G. B. Rowell, has been the main reliance in sustaining Christian work and worship.

The remark was made in a previous number, that the native HaAvaiian is no plebeian —he has a sense of the dignities. This is seen in his appreciation of the titles and honors of office and of social position; these mean much to him. It is the man in power whom he will follow. He has no head for abstract ideas. He takes things in the concrete. His is a world of realities (shall we say of materialities ?) rather than of ideals. From this it follows that the man of acknowledged position is at a great advantage in working with natives. The successful merchant, the winning lawyer, the sagacious judge, the magnetic chicf—these speak the word of power in morals and religion as well as in politics. Gentlemen, you who hold the places of influence—you who bear the dignities, you bear also a deal of responsibility touching things spiritual—you fairly share our work. None can do finer things than you. No personalities arc clothed with a fairer prestige than are yours. And we are glad to know that there are those among us who understand these things, and who, in their honest way are trying to use their influence for God. There is no doubt but that it is every one's duty to do this. It was one of the pleasant discoveries which Aye lately made in a tour round Hawaii to find that Christian workers had been before us; and there, left behind them on the way, were the comely fruits of their service. The beneficent results of the late temperance work were seen everywhere. While talking one day to my guide, he pulled out from his breast pocket a carefully kept pledge, and said he, "though I am at fault in many things, I have been true to that pledge." His peculiar appreciation of titles and of dignities makes the native pastor jealous of his prerogative. He is especially grateful to the Avhite man who recognizes it. He is generous, he is glad to share his work with his white brother, but he will not be supplanted. Can we not see in this a good ? It is an indication of stability. The native pastorate has taken root. The Hawaiian preacher feels himself to be a part of the religious institution, and let the white brother take his proper place in the same, and he will be met with a warm welcome. The man who is to work alongside of the native pastor and win his confidence and friendship must prove his right to be there by a well authorized work of his own. The native pastor when he gets started, makes a good evangelist. No man can supersede him in this work. It is his as the pastorate is his. As a companion on a tour he is invaluable. It enlivens him to visit other fields and to be visited in turn. One of the lacks of the native pastorate is of just this visitation carried on between parishes, of the keeping up of connection between posts. Does it come of laziness ? sometimes. But we would prefer to refer it often to a morbid sensitiveness. The elderly man will not visit his spruce new coming neighbor, because he shrinks from a possibly unfavorable comparison; and the younger man naturally waits for all advances to be made by his senior. There are other causes afield which operate to keep our native pastors apart in their work, and in overcoming which the kindly assistance of the white brother may be simply invaluable. The right kind of a man could help his Hawaiian brother greatly betimes in the matter of parish visitation. He alone and by himself cannot go freely from house to house. Custom is against it. Gossip will not permit it. Let them go two by two as the Master sent the first disciples, and rumor is disarmed. was found to The good brother at be in a strait. He was a young man his wife had a little babe she could not leave. The deacons were busy,— and the good mothers in Israel were gone— He was really what could he do ? troubled. There the parish was, it was in sore need of visitation, but he dare not go through it alone and unattended. There is room somewhere here for new adjustments. — The Hawaii Association and Circuit. The Hawaii Association met this year Helani. The meeting began at 10 a. m., Tuesday, March 6th, and continued till Saturday forenoon. Rev. W. M. Kalaiwaa, pastor of the entertaining church was chosen moderator. The attendance was good and the work done Avas satisfactory (save with a single at reservation). The pastors dined together faring sumptuously every day. The Delegates Avere by themselves. Between work the hours by the sea passed restfully and friendships were made that shall be lasting. The loav arid belt of Kona shore is tempered on one side by the sea, and on the other by the hills. The night air was perfect. The morning bath in the rocky, salty hollows was never forgotten. At one's feet were the lapping waves, and at one's back the gushing rills of subterranean water rising out of the volcanic rock. Into this soft tempered, commingled tide it was' luxury to take a dip. No wonder kings and queens and regretted chiefs did in the past resort to those shores more restful resorts cannot be found. Kailua, a few miles to the north is sitll the resort of royalty. At Keauhou, a few miles to the south one looks with respect and tenderness upon the spot — where Kauikeaouli was born. The rock is still shown which the royal mother grasped in her birth pains. We regret the loss which Kona sustains in the moving of the Rev. J. D. Paris and family (father and son) to Makawao. For many years this father of missions did go up and down that rocky coast, doing his work now done. At one time the building of churches and chapels was the order of the day. There they now stand, the conspicuous and eloquent monuments of a work which is past. The Rev. Mr. Burt has resigned the charge of the Boy's Boarding School at Hilo; the resignation to take effect either at the end of this school year, or of next as the trustees may elect. Can we afford to lose such a capable worker? The present condition of the school is good. All through the Hamakuas and in Kohala, one sees prosperity, and the traveler goes on his way rejoicing, glad that the Government has at last taken hold of the road question, and made journeying there easy. Better roads than those in Kohala cannot be found. But in southern and eastern Hawaii the long suffering traveller Avearies of patience, and almost comes to disbelieve in it as a virtue. So far the sugar planters have commanded the attention and the ranch men suffer. A more horrible road than that leading out from Hilo into the district of Puna cannot be found; and yet it passes through those charming Panaewa forests, made famous in Hawaiian song. Were there but a decent roadway no tourist could afford to fail of seeing them. As it is now, they are simply inaccessible to the ordinary traveller. The Rev. Stephen Desha of Kona has accepted the call to the Haili church, Hilo. His work there is to begin with May. The good people of Hilo showed considerable enthusiasm in the reception they gave him on the occasion of his late visit. A very respectable and commodious parsonage has been built for him. The Rev Mr. and Mrs. Westervelt are expected to be Avith us early in May. They come with years of experience from a Colorado field. The precise location of their future work is not yet fixed. It may be best for them to stay in Honolulu till after the Annual meeting of the Board, when they will probably be settled some where on the island of Hawaii or on Maui. Mr. Walkup and family when last heard from were in San P'rancisco. The post office address of the Treibers is Carlisle, Eaton Co., Michigan.

The evening of the adjourned meeting proved to be a pleasant one and a good number of members and friends were in attendance. Mr. W. W. Hall, the retiring President was in the chair. The exercises opened with Gospel Hymn No. 14. Appropriate scripture was read by Rev. W. C. Merritt and prayer was offered by Rev. E. G. Beckwith. The monotony of the following reports was pleasantly relieved with a solo by Mr. Levi Lyman and a duet by Mr. and Mrs. H. S.

Report of the Devotional Committee. below; hoping thereby to reach some young men who never attend the mixed meetings; this experiment for some reason was a failure, and after one month's trial with numbers reduced to 16, a return was made to this hall again with a cordial invitation to all to attend. The change resulted in an immediate increase in the number of persons in attendance and greater interest, and it is to be hoped that the renewed interest will be permanent, and but the beginning of better times. Efforts have been made to secure the services of an Evangelist from abroad, and one time it was thought Mr. Moody would come to us for a month, but his engagements prevented, and we had no more success in other quarters. We have been, and are thus left to our own resources; and it may be to teach us to trust more in our Heavenly P'ather, and in His power to work through the means we possess among ourselves. When we consider the voting membership of this Association, numbering here in Honolulu, about 80, every one of which should be an active working member, this thought comes to us; what a grand working force for the Master is here, if every one of these 80 hearts was wholly filled with the Holy Spirit, what results might not be certainly expected, if each one felt as he should a personal responsibility in the accomplishment of all possible. In union there is strength, and if this year our members will but pledge themselves heartily to the Lord and to His work in our midst, another year's report from your Devotional Committee will be far more encouraging, and for this we heartily pray. Respectfully submitted, J. B. Atherton, Chairman. The Devotional Committee of this Report of the Temperance Committee. Association beg leave to report as follows: The work done in this department of The work of your Committee the past the Association during the past year has year has been cofined to the "Blue Ribnot produced the results hoped or wish- bon League," and meetings for men only, ed for at the beginning. Your com- held in one of the unoccupied stores in mittee, however, believe that some good has been accomplished and soulsblessed. The main efforts of the committee have been devoted to sustaining the Sabbath evening devotional services in this hall, and they have been carried through without failure during the year. These meetings have been conducted from week to week by the different members of the committee or by others secured for the purpose, and they have been attended by both sexes, except for a period of one month, when meetings were held for young men only. During the early part of the year the average attendance was about 58, but during the summer months the numbers fell off to an average of about 30. At this time, your committee in considering the out look for the future, decided to make a trial of holding meetings for men only in the class room Brewer's block, Hotel street. The latter meetings were organized about six months ago, and the plan has been to have a blue ribbon entertainment one Saturday evening at the Y.M. C. A. hall, alternating with the men's meeting every other Saturday. It seems to the chairman of your Committee that the blue ribbon entertainments have accomplished all that can be done for the present, and that it has outlived its usefulness as at present conducted. These meetings or entertainments were started over two years ago for the express purpose of providing a good, clean entertainment as -an offset to the saloons, and they have all been first class in every respect, but still they have not been appreciated as they should have been At one of these entertainments last fall, where about one hundred were present, there was but [May, 1889. one person in the audience who had not signed the pledge. Many of the members of the league have not assisted even by their presence, and it appears to be the case that not only members of the league hut members of this association feel no responsibility whatever, being satisfied that the Committee alone should carry on the work, which is the most discouraging part of the work. At the first meeting for men only, there were about forty persons present, and the outlook was very encouraging as there were many present for Avhom the meetings were intended, but it soon proved that they were only attracted by the novelty and the meetings soon fell off in numbers and although free ice-cream soda was offered as an additional attraction the meetings have dwindled down to as low as thirteen out of which number not less than four were speakers for the evening. Those meetings Avere started because it Avas reported that there were many in town, who would not go into the Y. M. C. A. hall, and it was thought that by having meetings in a place where there were no religious surroundings, many of these men would be induced to come, but they have proved a failure in this respect notAvithstanding special efforts have been made to make them as informal as possible, and invitations have been given to speak on the subject of temperance, even if they did not agree with our views on that subject. While this report is not as encouraging as your chairman could wish, it must not be understood that no good has been accomplished, for there are those who have been helped, and many have signed the pledge, some of whom have been , led to a better life. What is needed in this department of the work is that members feel their responsibility, and not only be present themselves, but bring in others who need our help, support and sympathy. Unless this is done it is useless to attempt to carry on this work successfully. New methods should be proposed and adopted for carrying on the *vork. Gospel temperance meetings should be frequently held. A revival of true religion is much needed in this association to stimulate Christians to more earnest efforts in this Avork which has become such a vital question in England and the United States. Let us hope and pray that the new year upon which we enter to-night may be a year of activity in the temperance cause, and that every member of this association may feel a personal responsibility in carrying on this work, and not leave it to a few to battle with this giant evil. Let us not be discouraged but earnestly enter upon the work, remembering the promise—"that in due time we shall reap if we faint not." Respectfully submitted. P. C. Jones, Chairman. �Volume 47, No. 5.] Report of Hawaiian Branch. The Committee on the Hawaiian branch of the work conducted at Queen Emma Hall respectfully report that the Hall has been usefully employed during the past year as follows: The Hawaiian Blue Ribbon League has met there regularly every Friday evening. The meetings are well attended and great interest is shown by the people. There have been admitted to membership, by taking the pledge of total abstinence, since the Society's organization three years ago, some 1,700 persons. An interesting feature of these meetings is the reports of the Standing Committee, who report their experiences and what they have observed as regards temperance during the week. We have also frequent visitors from the other islands who address the meetings and have sent several delegates to other districts who have aroused considerable interest on this matter of vital importance. Dr. Hyde has held a religious meeting at 3 p.m. on Sundays for English-speaking Hawaiians with an average attendance of about 20. The lower story of the Hall is used in which to teach the Portuguese evening school, under the supervision of Mr. Dillingham. The Japanese use the building for a weekly singing school and an English night school and for the meetings of their Y. M. C. A. Miss Green has met Hawaiian women at the Hall on Mondays for sewing and conversation, and on Thursdays she has met the Band of Hope, a Temperance Society organized among Hawaiian children. On the whole the Committee feel that the large expenditure for rent and care of premises which has devolved upon our Association is wise and beneficent, aad that it would be a serious injury to the morals and well-being of the Hawaiians and others if this branch of our work should be given up.

The rapid flight of time has added one more year to the record of the past, and to-night we met to observe the twentieth anniversary of the Honolulu Young Men's Christian Association. To reach young men, to encourage and help them to higher living, and bring them into harmony and communion with God, is the well understood object of this and all kindred Associations; but how to accomplish most successfully this much needed work is a question that is engaging many of the 3573 35 II best Christian minds of this age. The ideal association seeks the highest good of young men by providing for their social, intellectual, physical and 480 00 109 00 20 00 25 00 7 32 30 00 2 50 8 00 102 00 3 00 14 00 7 25 1 00 25 00 18 00 1500 2 13 8 30 1 65 1 30 69 25 60 46 6 90 29 16 104 36 2 75 58 00 20 60 • 3 50 600 00 2710 25 00 166 00 6 50 1 36 60 $ 788 I 74 i $ 8,678 I E.O.WHITE, Treasurer. religious developement. In carrying out these plans a strange medley of helps and hindrances are sure to be encountered, and nearly every Secretary comes to regard his particular locality as "a very peculiar field." In some respects this is unquestionably true of Honolulu. The Associations in America are giving great prominence to the physical departments of their work as an attractive agency by which they win thousands of young men from a class they could reach in no other way. There the climate is favorable to vigorous exercise and compels young men to seek indoor shelter during half the year. But here in Honolulu conditions are reversed, our delightful climate and tropical environments allure young and old to outdoor life through the entire year, and makes vigorous exercise as a pastime or for the improvement of health a thing not to be tolerated, as the failure of repeated efforts to sustain a gymnasium abundantly proves. While this line of work may not be open to us, others quite as important are opening on every side, inviting earnest hearts and ready hands to fruitful service. During the year we have received sixteen new members, eleven of whom were voting members, but from change of residence and other causes we have lost more than twice that number,' so our present membership does not exceed one hundred and sixty. The interest in our religious meetings has been fairly good, but a deeper spirituality would have given more definite results. On two occasions efforts to secure evangelistic aid from the States failed, and the expected help and quickening are still deferred. The special meetings held during the day and week of prayer for Associations were the best of the entire year. A collection of $26 was taken for the work of the International Committee. The Secretary's Sunday morning Bible class, which was discontinued at the Rooms, is now held in the audience room of the Central Union Church at the same hour (10 a.m.), with a varying attendance of about ten young men. �[May, 1889. THE FRIEND. 42 While our temperance work has been nothing to what the case demanded, it has been enough to keep up on open and standing protest .against the growing curse of strong drink, and we have been able to save a few victims from its power. The temperance work among the natives seems to have been more encouraging during the past year than among the white foreigners. Two pleasant receptions to sailors have been given in our hall, one by the W. C. T. U., and the other by Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Walker. Three Practical Talks" to young men have been given by local professional gentlemen with gratifying success. During the brief stay of Prof. Dickinson the Entertainment Committee arranged for two of his finely illustrated lectures, which were well received and with financial profit. On October 30th a very enjoyable reception was given Mr. C. M. Cooke on his return from Stockholm, where he was our first delegate to a World's Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association. A class that opened in October with sixteen young men has received two courses of instruction in vocal music from the excellent musical instructor of Oahu College, Mr. A. D. Bissell. Monday evening is still devoted to instruction in Book-keeping, through the kindness of Mr. P. C. Jones, who has taught two classes on that evening for nearly the whole year. Visitation of the shipping in the harbor has not been so systematic as it ought to have been, but considerable has been done in distributing a variety of reading matter, talking with the men, and inviting them to the Association Rooms and to the Church, where, in many instances, they have afterward been seen and welcomed. The hospital has been regularly visited by some faithful committee men, who have, by word and deed, carried cheer to the hearts of the sick and lonely ones, many of whom were far from home and friends. Numerous calls for employment have been received, but we have been able to find situations for only about a dozen. The Association has had eight business meetings, with a total attendance of 144. There have been eight meetings of the Board of Directors with a total attendance of 39. This institution, with its pleasant rooms, has been a welcome and beneficial resort to a large number of worthy young men, many of whom were strangers in the city. The average daily attendance has been about forty. The Reading Room has been furnished with one additional table, and now contains the following number of periodicals: 2 daily papers, 38 weeklies, 4 monthlies, and 6 monthly magazines, a total of 50; two of which are Portuguese, two are Swedish and two are German, The illustrated papers, after being used here, are taken over to Queen Emma Hall, " where they do excellent service for the natives. Several bound books have been received from friends for the reading room, and a large number of papers and magazines have been donated for distribution. 3,780 papers and 540 magazines have been given away during the year. Under the earnest and skillful management of Mrs. B. F. Dillingham the Y. M. C. A. boys have had a thoroughly successful year. The "Talks" provided have been varied and practical, containing wholesome lessons that will not be easily forgotten. The report of the Queen Emma Hall Branch you have heard. The financial burden of that work has been rather heavy during the past year, but those of us who have been personally identified with the work feel that it has been money and effort well expended. We hope to lighten the burden this year by increasing the number of hands that will help to bear it. In closing, I desire to thank the Press of the city for their courtesy and kindly notices of our work. Also, all the friends who, by their sympathy, universal kindness and co-operation, have in so many ways contributed to help on the work of this Association during the past year. To-night we stand on the dividing line, between the old and the new. For the service of the coming year, as young men interested in the salvation of young men, how many of us will try, with the Master's help, to dc our best? " Who is on the Lord's side ? Who will serve the King? Who will be His helpers? Other lives to bring?" Respectfully submitted, S. D. Fuller, General Secretary. Address of President. It was in the summer of 1871, at the close of the French and German war, that Robert W. McAll, a Scotch minister with his wife, was taking a little rest from work at home, and viewing the consequences of the recent battles as seen in the city of Paris. Their hearts were "saddened by the havoc of the war, they were deeply moved also by the hopeless spiritual condition which they saw. Before leaving the city they desired to see Belleville, the home of the Communists, where the terrible scenes of the uprising had taken place." Knowing that the best way of seeing the people of FYance, and especially of Paris, is to meet them in their Cafe's, they sought one of these resorts, the grand Hotel of La Vielleuse, on the boulevard of Belleville. It was ten o'clock at night on Friday, August 18, and they were to leave for their home in England the next morning. Mrs. McAll entered and asked permission of the proprietor to distribute a few tracts to his guests, while her husband remained at the door to speak to those going out and in. The request was as politely granted as it was made. As Mrs. McAll was retiring from the room, several who had not received her leaflets, ascertaining what they were rose from their seats and their wine and followed her to the door, asking that they too might be supplied. At the door she found her husband surrounded by a large company of working men in their blue and white blouses and engaged in earnest conversation. One of these, speaking for the rest said: "Sir, are you not an Englishman ? Are you not a minister?" and then added with all earnestness, "You think, sir, that we are infidels, and that we do not care for religion. We do care, sir; but we will not have an imposed religion. If any one will come among us teaching a religion, not of hierarchy and superstition, but of reality and earnestness and liberty, very many of us are ready to listen." Mr. McAll says in a recent letter, "we might have gone to the same spot a thousand times without meeting that man, whom we never recognized before or since. The moment, the coincidence, all the circumstances, irresistibly proclaim on the review, 'the finger of God.' " From an historical sketch by John R. Whitney I take the following: "If ever there was a work which showed the power and presence of God overruling the designs of men for the accomplishment of His own purpose, it is in the opening of papal France and Italy to evangelical truth." "It is now evident that by all the fiery trials of those terrible days God was preparing the soil for the reception of the seed, "which is the word of God;" and when the soil was prepared, then He sent forth the Sower to sow. Without such an upturning, a work like that of Mr. McAll could hardly have been possible; with it, it was at once possible. Let us look at the order and connection of these events that we may more clearly see the hand of God in them : ORDER OF EVENTS. July 13, 1870—The dogma of papal infallibility Avas decried. 15th—War was declared by Napoleon against Prussia. 18th—The dogma of papal infallibility was declared. 25th—The French troops were ordered to be withdrawn from Rome. August Ist—The last of the French soldiers were leaving Rome. (Then the Italians rose as one man and declared that the temporal power of the Pope should cease and Rome be the capital of United Italy.) Sept. 2nd—Napoleon was defeated at Sedan. 4th—The Republic was decreed in France. �THE FRIEND. 12th—Victor Emmanuel and the Bible entered Rome. Oct. Ist Victor Emmanuel was chosen king. Thus it was only fifty-three days from the decree of the dogma of papal infallibility to the setting up of the Republic, and only sixty-nine days to the overthrow of the temporal power of the Pope. In the spring of 1871 the uprising of the Communists took place in Paris. Early in May, 1871,it reached its height. Archbishop Darboy Avas shot, theTuileries, Hotel dc Ville and other public buildings were burnt. May 29th—The insurrection was put down. August 18th—Mr. and Mrs. McAll visited Paris. (A little over one year from the decree of papal infallibility and within one year from the overthrow of the Empire.) Nov. 1871, they removed from England to Paris. Jan. 1872, the first station was opened. (Now there are over forty stations in Paris, and over one hundred and twenty-five in France. It would be impossible, in a paper like this to give more than a mere outline of the methods in which this work is carried on, or the various sources from which it draws its support. The first meeting was held in November 1871, in a hall, formerly a shop, near the present Belleville Station. A few chairs, a plain desk, a harmonium, and a few paper texts Avere the simple furnishings. Printed hymns were distributed; the hymns were sung, scripture was read, and some earnest words spoken, a short prayer offered, and that was all. Outside, a simple sign with the inscription "To the working-men: Moral meetings, free entrance." Year after year neAV halls were opened, fresh sympathies awakened, and reliable sources of income secured. In a sketch by Rev. M. Saillens, one of Mr. McAlls most efficient workers, I find the following: "The work has retained the same simplicity which marked its beginning." Most of the halls or salles are larger, but they are mostly shops, and everything about them is marked by a total absence of ornament. The same lively hymns are sung, the same elementary preaching goes on; Christ and Him crucified. And it is most remarkable that, although the meet-places are open in some cases every night, and at least two or three times a week, the people are never tired of coming to them. Some of them, the rue dc Rivoli station for instance, are crowded daily. New comers incessantly mixed themselves in the set of regular attendants which may be found in every station, and thus it may be said that this Mission has formed as many churches as it has stations in France. Yet these are not churches, in the regular sense of the word, for the — great principle upon which this mission is built is, Catholicity. All the Christian communities help us, and we help them. All evangelical pastors now consider it an honor to stand upon our platforms, and to witness along with us the truth of the Gospel. Many are those that have been added to the Protestant churches of France through the working of the mission." There are to-day in France over one hundred and twenty-five Halls. The attendance in them all, for the last year only, has been over one million people. Twelve thousand meetings have been held, and hundreds, perhaps thousands of souls have been added to the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ; through faith in His atoning-blood. The Halls or Salles as opened in the various stations in Paris and other cities in V ranee are named, many of them, for cities in other lands. For instance, the Salle-Boston is supported by the McAll association established in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and other cities in the States. In some instances they have been named for individuals who have been prominent in the work. The Salle Beach was named for the late lamented Miss Elizabeth Beach, who, besides her faithful labors in connection with the work in Paris, was instrumental in creating a deep interest in the McAll mission throughout the United States, which led to the establishing of branch associations in many of the American cities. The total receipts of the McAll mission from all sources in 1886 were $74,--770, but since then the interest in this great Avork has very much increased abroad, and the receipts during the past year cannot be far from $100,000. The Salle Beach was inaugurated on January 15, 1885, near the Arc dc Triomphe. In this hall a variety of Missionary work is carried on. "Here on every Sunday, Tuesday and Friday, are held those popular gospel services, through which the work of the McAll mission has so admirably found the way to the hearts of the workingmen of Paris. Here on Sunday and Thursday afternoons the children of the Faubourg are gathered together for religious instruction. Here also on Sunday afternoons a young Avomen's class and Bible reading union meets for study. The poor mothers of the district gather here on Monday afternoons for work and religious instructions, and a comfortable cup of tea. And here on Tuesday and Saturday mornings is held a free Dispensary with a doctor in attendance, a religious service of song and instruction being held for the benefit of the waiting patients, by another member of the mission staff." One of the most efficient workers in the Belleville district is Miss dc Broen, who with her staff of ten or twelve lady assistants has for many years been do- ing a wonderful work, particularly among the women and children, by means of visiting them in their homes, by furnishing them work, by training of orphans, &c. She herself was instrumental in inducing Mr. McAll to come, and gave him a hearty Avelcome. While perfectly harmonious, they are distinct missions. Thus has this wonderful work of education and evangelization been going on in France for seventeen years; in many respects the most remarkable and successful mission work accomplished during this century. If these people had waited for the French Protestants to take hold of them, the work would never have been accomplished. French Protestantism is not aggressive; perhaps centuries of persecution, and even worse of disdainful neglect, have crushed its spirit. Even the Catholic church had, for years, given up this quarter of Paris as irreclaimably infidel, and would have nothing to do with it, so these earnest workers have free scope. The president and workers of the Y. M. C. A. of Paris heartily endorse the McAll mission and its methods, and have found it a wonderful help and inspiration in their own work. What an inspiration it would be to the Y. M. C. A. of Honolulu, to have an infusion of the spirit of those earnest workers in the McAll mission among our own members. It is the continuous hand to hand Avork, the contact of heart with heart, that, through the blessing of God, lifts men into a better and purer life. If we could catch some of this earnest spirit, and being ourselves quickened, go out among the young men and strangers among us, the leven would soon spread and influence the whole of this community. We have tried in various ways to procure the help of evangelists from abroad to help and quicken our spiritual life, but have thus far failed, and we are noAv shut up to our own resources and to God. Let us through prayer lay hold of the arm that moves the world, and by our earnest efforts strive to bring the blessed spiritual showers that can make this dry and barren field bud and bloom as the rose. At this point Mr. Hall introduced Hon. Henry Waterhouse, the Presidentelect, Avho was received with enthusiastic applause. Mr. Waterhouse said they might think he was going to thank them for the honor of electing him President, but he was not going to do it. He wasn't going to make a speech, but he was going to work, and he wanted the help of all the young men and also the young ladies during the year that he would hold office. At the close of his brief but earnest remarks he announced the following standing committees, �THE FRIEND. Nor can you take the divinity out of T D.

A distinguished pastor writes to us : "Accept hearty thanks, please, for the January and February numbers of The Friend. I have enjoyed them, and especially your leaders, very much. Your views as to the protracted demand of semi-converted nations foroutside.Christian aid, strike me as resting on broad and strong reasonings. The student of "Ancient Christianity" (as Isaac Taylor sets it forth, c. g.) would draw the same inferences. What did those early Christian communities shortly become after the first instruments of their evangelization were withdrawn? What long ages of subsequent relapse and agony followed! What throes accompanied the Reformation back from relapse to ChrisI tianity again throughout Europe. thoroughly share, then, in your views and deem them extremely important. The Foreign missionary Secretaries have caught up the cry, and are rehearsing it all round the horizon, that our work is to carry the Gospel as a witness through and over the nations, that the evangelizing of the nations in this sense, and not the absolute converting and changing of the whole earth into a solid kingdom of God (righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost) is what we have to do, and that this "may be done by the close of the nineteenth century." That does not interpret within conceivable limits the great command, Matt. 18:19. They are busy minifying the character, dimensions and call of their own work. That were little. They are emasculating the grandest "marching orders" ever heard on earth. Hut I imagine that Premillenarianism, infectious even when not accepted, has much to do with originating such talk." Our friend's argument from the rapid debasement of the early Churches is a pregnant one. How different and how bright might have been their history had there somewhere existed at that period a powerful body of highly advanced and matured churches like those now in America and England, who could have taught and admonished them, and nursed them into Christian stature and strength, as the centuries went on. We seem to see a clear reason why the Lord did not stir up his churches in the earlier times to extensively evangelize any except the most vigorous and virile heathen peoples like our Teuton ancestors, just because they were incompetent to nourish and mother them, in the way that churches of the weaker races need to be nursed up. The chaste and rugged Teutons fought their way through into the larger light and back to Christ, and headed the Reformation. Probably the history and present condition of the Abyssinian church is a sample of the results the early church was capable of producing in evangelizing even a race mixed of stronger and weaker. It looks as if the Head of the Church had deferred the inspiring of his people to go actively forward in the grand enterprise of evangelizing the vast outlying races of the world, until they had acquired some degree of competence to can}' that work out to a successful issue by careful, wise, and patient iliseipliiig of them. The early churches propagate their debased and corrupted faith among the powerful races of Northern Europe. There it slowly develops, and with the restoration of the Bible, bursts into glorious power. Three centuries of training and maturing ensue, and now these churches of the latter day are comparatively matured and established in enlightened faith. For their own higher growth and for the world's expedited redemption, the Lord at last inspires these blessed and favored churches to carry their light to the dark, wretched children of paganism, and lead them into loyal obedience to the King of Righteousness and Peace. We seem at last to have been chosen for a work of glorious privilege. Hut it is a work of severe toil and patient, protracted service. These children of darkness will have to be tenderly and carefully trained into Christian living by the labor of enlightened and devoted Christian men and women for many generations before they will stand alone in steadfast loyalty and faith. Are our churches ready for this great work ? Persecution of Protestants in the Loyalty Islands. More than a year ago, we recorded the brutal expulsion from Mare, of the Rev. J. Jones, in December 9, IRH7, by the French authorities. He had labored there with the highest success, for twenty-three years. At the same time, the people suffered much persecution for refusing to join the French state church. Their churches were forcibly closed. They were forbidden to gather elsewhere for worship. They were not allowed to teach their children to read their Bibles in Sunday schools. All schools were closed except those taught in the French language. The people, however, diligently taught the Bible to their children in their own houses. The Protestant native pastors of Mare were also sent in exile to New Caledonia, charged with no other crime than refusing obedience to the Government in matters of conscience. Latterly, however, M. Nouet, the new Governor ofNew Caledonia, has released and returned to their homes all the Mart exiles; he has determined that the persecutions carried on by his predecessor in the Loyalty Islands shall entirely cease. Rev. J. Jones, since his exile, has begun with his former associate Mr. Creagh, the revision of the entire Bible, on the translation of which he had long and diligently toiled. He was, however, speedily summoned to England by his Directors. He will probably soon resume and complete the preparation of the whole Bible in the Mare tongue. We have just received Handicraft for February, and welcome this latest recruit to Hawaiian journalism. It purports to be "a monthly journal devoted to manual training," and is "printed by boys of Kamehameha School." It is evidently not edited by any of that ilk, but by some more experienced sons of wisdom's household. Our good neighbor of the Advertiser gets such a castigation in the last number for a recent freak of alliterate verbosity, that The Friend must be on guard against any similar indecorous saltations or journalistic frivolosities. An address of Hon. C. R. Bishop lends value to the first number. The typography is thoroughly creditable to that department of manual training in the school. The prospectus of the school on each fourth page is of high interest. �THE FRIEND. 26 [April, 1889. evidence that these religions were all corruptions from an WHY ARE THE HAWAIIANS DYING OUT? original Monotheism, retaining something of that earlier Elements of Disability for Survival Among the Hawaiian People. religious recognition of the Righteousness and Benevolence By [Read to Honolulu Rev. S. E. Bishop. Social Science Association, Noveinbei, 1888.] Concluded. There are sacrifices of pigs and fowls; there are complex incantations. There are doubtless various efforts allied to mesmeric or hypnotic phenomena. Violent sweatings and purgings are frequently used to promote the expulsion of the demon, with great physical severities of different kindsi such as often are of themselves fatal to the patient. The tension of anxiety and dread is terrible and very weakening. A great mortality results directly from this violent and terrifying treatment. Furthermore, there is a large mortality caused by pure mental apprehension, where no disease originally existed. The sufferer is told that a sorcerer is at work against him ; he at once sickens, and is prostrated, and soon dies. Or he is solemnly warned by a learned kahuna that he has symptoms of dangerous disease impending. Or he is conscious of having committed some act, such as the violation of a vow, which has offended the family deity, or aumakua, and through mental apprehension, the same effect of sickening ensues. All these things play into the hands of the medicine man, bring him dupes and victims, increase his revenue, and multiply the mortality of the people. It is difficult to determine to what extent these superstitious agencies are still at work. There is painful reason to believe that their activity has been greatly revived of late years. There is much ground for thinking that a large proportion of the more intelligent and educated Hawaiians, when they fall ill, are prone to succumb to the inherited superstition. It is commonly remarked that the Hawaiian, when sick, shows a strange lack of recuperative power. He dies easily. He becomes depressed and surrenders, where other men would recover. Probably in most such cases, the cause is his superstitious belief in a demon, whom he feels working at his vitals, and whom it is hopeless to resist. 6. Idolatry. This is intimately connected with the above-named agency. Its chief importance, however, in this discussion, is in its character as the most efficient of all the agencies that disorder the mental and debase the moral action of the people, and»which frustrate and neutralize remedial influences. It resembles Drunkenness in this respect, but I think very far exceeds it in its evil ethical efficiency. All thinkers, of whatever creed or type of skepticism, consider a pepple's religion to have an immense formative power upon them. The institutions, the customs, and the conduct of a people are certain to be shaped and patterned, in a great degree, after whatever embodiments of moral ideals they believe in, such as deified heroes, and deities of whatever sort whom they fear and worship. If the gods of any nation,-like those of early Egypt, are understood to exercise substantial justice, to reward virtue, purity, and temperance, and to punish vice, treachery, and cruelty, such a nation will continue to cherish the higher, and to despise the baser qualities. Righteousness has the sanction of religion, and the nation grows and prospers. The Polytheisms of Egypt, of Greece, of Rome, of Chaldsa, in their earlier and less corrupted forms, exalted much of the higher elements of character; hence a good degree of civilization became possible under these religions. This was also true of the earlier Brahminism of the Vedas. There is strong of the Heaven-Father, the Dyaus-Pitar, Zeus-Pater, or Jupiter of the Aryan races. It is most noticeable how, from debased races, these nations imported successively the worship of evil gods—the Baals, Molochs, Astartes, Kalis, gods of lust, cruelty, falsehood, debauchery. These fastened as parasites upon the earlier and cleaner Polytheisms, and so corroded and poisoned the social and political life of those great nations. Whether, as Fornander maintains, any traces of an ancient Monotheism can be discerned in the Polynesian Pantheon, may be considered doubtful. It is certain, however, that the prevailing characteristics attributed to even the highest gods, such as Pomander's Trinity of Ku, Kane, and Kanaloa, were wretchedly evil and unclean. There arc-not merely strong tendencies to animalism and cruelty, with frequent lapses into crimes of lust and revenge, such as disfigure Greek mythology. These gods of the Hawaiians become absolute embodiments of bestiality and malignity, like Moloch and other gods of the Canaanites. The impure and malignant essence of Hawaiian deities is visibly embodied in their images. In contrast to the personal beauty of the Greek gods, the aim and the effort of the carver is to depict an extreme of malignity and sensuality. The lineaments are made as revolting and horrific as the artist can combine them from vicious types of animal savagery, such as the shark or the boar. The first impression is a just one, that a people who worshipped such deities as these images represent could not be otherwise than profoundly perverted in their ethical sentiments. The various legends of the chief gods abound in attributes of the most excessive bestiality. They are generally incapable of being printed without extensive expurgation. A loathsome filthiness is not mere incident, but forms the groundwork of character, not merely of the great hog-god Kamapuaa, but even of the more human-like Ku and Kane of the chief Trinity. The moral ideas of the worshippers of such gods could not fail to suffer extreme perversion. Justice and Purity were in contempt. Cruelty and Lust were exalted into religion. The late Matthew Arnold, eliminating personality from the idea of the God of Christendom, defined Deity as "The Stream of Tendency in the Universe that makes for Righteousness." If we could eliminate these horrific personalities from the Hawaiian Pantheon, we might well count the ideal residuum to stand for the stream of tendency that makes for all wickedness. It was an embodied Diabolism. As a shaping force upon character, and a moving force upon conduct, this diabolic religion takes its energy from Sorcery. Sorcery brings these evil gods down as living active powers interposing in all circumstances of life. By the arts of the kahunas the people were held, and, to a considerable extent, are still held, in habitual fear of these powerful gods and their subordinate demons. Their lives are continually threatened by them. Every internal sense of illness is the deadly touch, sensibly felt, of a god. So the people were held in abject slavery to their gods, and to the priests who could influence them. Slaves to such unclean beings, they tend to be like them; their moral sentiments are overturned; evil becomes good, and good evil. Lewdness, prostitution, indecency, drunkenness, being godlike, are exalted into virtues. Recent practical illustrations of this are not lacking. One of the foul florescences of this great poison tree of Idolatry is the Hula. This is most intimately connected with the whole system, and forms an essential part of its services, just as Sacred Music does of Christian worship. The hula dances are habitually idolatrous in practice, having their special patron gods, whom the dancers invoke and worship. The chief posturings and movements of the hulas are pantomimes of unnameable lewdness, illustrated and �THE FRIEND. 27 Volume 47, No. 4.] of such schools conducted by Protestants, Anglicans, and Catholics. Adversely, the youth who go out of these schools are at once plunged into a sea of indescribable temptation. Yet much of our best hopes for the future of the race is in the increasing numbers of these well-trained Hawaiians. They tend to form an elevated and civilized social class of their own. This is opposed and disintegrated by a Hawaiian social leadership," whose tendencies are all adverse. 4. Christian Instruction will continue to be regarded by earnest believers in Christianity as the chief effective agency in healing the nation's maladies. They hold that Faith in Christ has power to emancipate from fear of demon-gods: they believe that the implanting of the high ideal of righteousness of which Jesus of Nazareth is the source, will in the end erect in all minds a standard of integrity and purity which will be more effectual than anything else in securing moral and healthy living among the people. Probably the most of the many true and earnest friends of right living who do not accept the supernatural element of Christian doctrine would agree that for the Hawaiian, in his present mental stage of development, such a faith would be a more efficient antidote than any scientific or philosophical teaching could be. If it be asked why sixty-eight years of Christian teaching has not availed to lift the Hawaiian people out of the mire of impure living, if it be thus efficacious, its teachers would point to the great increase of adverse influences for the last thirty years, and to the direct fostering of sorcery and hulas by authority during that time, and latterly to the promotion of hardly concealed worship of the gods. They would also point to the immense growth of foreign elements whose unfavorable influence has been illustrated in the case of the Chinese. They would also call special attention to the fact that, during the period of powerful missionary ascendancy, say from 1833 to 1853, while nearly the whole people became nominal adherents of Christianity, only a minority become actual members of the churches, while the great majority, although outwardly assenting, remained wedded to their habitual vice, and secretly to their superstitions, and that the more Christian minority gave place by death to another generation far less strongly impressed and less fervid in religious interest. In accordance with the foregoing statement of facts, as I clearly understand them, and whose substantial correctness I think cannot be gainsaid, there seems to be no radical remedy for the two great causes of infertility and mortality, viz: Unchastity and Sorcery, except a system of vigorously extirpating those two allied agencies in which they generate and are nourished, the Hulas and the Kahunas. Both are purely heathen institutions of the most pronounced and detestable type, and are totally incompatible with any true and wholesome civilization. They should both be hunted down and exterminated like the venomous reptiles that they are, poisoning and slaying the people. Until this is done with determined thoroughness, I see little prospect of arresting the decrease of the Hawaiian people. The Hawaiian Race is one that is well worth saving. With all their sad frailties, they are a noble race of men, physically and morally. They are manly, courageous, enterprising, cordial, generous, unselfish. They are highly receptive of good. They love to look forward and upward, even though very facile to temptations to slide backward and downward. In an unusual degree, they possess a capacity for fine and ardent enthusiasm for noble ends. Should the Hawaiian people leave no posterity, a very sweet, generous, interesting race will have been lost to the world. They can be saved. They have deserved too well of mankind—they have been too kindly, too friendly, too lofty. and magnanimous, not to merit the most devoted trustful Domestic and Industrial Training in boarding schools has to avert their threatening fate, and to set them forefforts excellent work for and is doing accomplished much more, ward a hopeful course. It seems as if this might most in both sexes, by their practical training in the ethics, the conbe accomplished, if there were only a wise and resoeasily duct, and the industry of Christian civilization. Several it. lute to do purpose the advantages hundred youth of each sex are now enjoying varied with elaborate art, and accompanied with chants of unspeakable foulness of diction and description. This is the Sacred Music of Idolatry, its Opera and its Drama. The multitudes of men, women and children who throng to these royal /ih/ii-operas there drink in the heathen ethics of social life in unmitigated directness and grossness, made sensational with vivid pantomime of beastliness, and embellished with foul wit and jest in song, extolling and dramatizing impurity. Against such schooling, it must be a powerful civilizing force that can make head and redeem any Hawaiian homes from becoming brothels. 7. Wifeless Chinese. This is an evil of recent growth, which acts most perniciously upon the social life oi Hawaiians. There are some 80,000 Chinamen of the lowest class, without their women, distributed throughout the islands in close contact with the natives, and in many districts outnumbering the Hawaiian males. The effect is necessarily very destructive to the purity of native families, although not more so than the presence of a similar number of unmarried whites would be. There is no doubt but that many native households in all parts of the country are maintained in comparative affluence by the intimacy of Chinese with their females. Some of the heads of these families are members in good standing in the Protestant churches, whose easy-going native pastors lack the energy and authority to deal with the offenders, while the moral sentiment prevailing both within and outside of the church is too feeble to put them to shame. The catalogue of destructive elements making for the death of the Hawaiian people, as enumerated above, is an appalling one. It certainly suffices to account for any amount of infertility and mortality. On the other hand, there are many sanative and restorative agencies at work, which inspire hope for the repression of these evils, and afford prospect for the reinforcement and augmentation of healing agencies. I briefly name some of the most efficient: 1. Government Medical Aid. Paid physicians are within reach of most of the people, whose services to them are free of charge. Their help should save many more lives than they do, or than they will, so long as the people are taught Idolatry, and to trust in the kahunas. It is not in itself a very easy thing for a skilled physician to gain the confidence of the native people in the degree that he needs for any considerable success. It is nearly impossible for him to do so, when contending as he generally is with active superstition in the minds of his patients, and their friends, and with the army of kahunas working with all their arts against him. His prescriptions will very commonly be neglected, and his injunctions disobeyed. I have not the slightest doubt that a hearty reception by the Hawaiian people of the medical aid now provided, discarding their kahunas, would at once cause births to preponderate over deaths. 2. Hygienic Instruction. There has been a great deal of instruction given upon the laws of health and simple remedial treatment in the schools and churches, and by means of books. Dr. Judd's translation of Cutter's Anatomy and Physiology was printed nearly fifty years ago, and used as a text book in the leading high school. Such instruction has done great service. It has proved insufficient, however, to make head against the inveterate belief in the supernatural cause of disease. It is likely to continue inadequate, so long as the kahunas are encouraged to ply their arts. 3. School Education. Book knowledge, and even the much vaunted education in English, have sadly failed to arm Hawaiians against succumbing to superstition and its kindred impurity, either in the ranks of the lowly or the �28 THE FRIEND. Episcopacy. — The Krienii. Sir. In asking permission to say a few words in your columns with reference to your article on "Episcopacy" in your March issue, I will promise at the outset that I am not going to write a dissertation on Episcopacy, for as I cannot expect you to regard that institution from my point of view, so I freely admit that the opinion you express is the result of the position in which you stand towards it. Hence it does not in the least disturb my equanimity to find myself regarded by The Friend as an anachronism in the nineteenth century, like some unfortunate dodo that may still be lingering in the unexplored parts of Australia having survived the geological period to which it properly belongs, one occupying an office which having ceased to be beneficial to mankind, (I suppose since the days of Oliver ofblessed memory) should be relegated to the dust heap of the past. But, when not satisfied with consigning both kings and bishops to your heap ol old lumber, you proceed to dogmatize as follows: "In all communities where intelligence is increasing and character enlarging, there becomes less and less use for one-man control, either in state or church," you give utterance to a statement which is certainly open to discussion before it is admitted into the creed of mankind, and which moreover may be discussed without trenching on matters of theological or ecclesiastical controversy. I» it, then, the case that there is less use today for one-man control than formerly ? Where is the proof of the statement? If a man-of-war comes into the harbour, no matter whether she carries the flag of England, or the United States, whether she belongs to autocratic Russia, or to republican France, the ship is under one-man control. There is not a ship afloat, from the ship of war to the small coasting schooner, that is not under one-man control. Come ashore and enter the police court; fines and imprisonment are daily imposed on transgressors of the law, by one man sitting alone on the bench, who will commit for contempt of court any one who murmurs at his decisions. Go into a school, and you find the order and discipline dependent on one-man or one-woman control. If you want to cross to one of the other islands, you find yourself under oneman control, who notifies you that you will be allowed a deck passage, if under the qualms of seasickness you lie down in your berth with your boots on. When you return home, should you venture to interfere with the celestial oneman control that dominates your cook-house, a ruined dinner will be your just retribution. Travel abroad, and in every hotel you enter, every train you travel by will still be under oneman control. So far then from the growth of any community rendering useless one-man control, it appears rather that the increase of activity, and the interchange of commercial, social and political relations between communities makes the need of one-man control to be increasingly felt in every department. It matters not whether it be a department of the state, or a factory, or a trading company, or a plantation, or a ship, or a railway train, or even your cooking range, the one-man control centralizes at once authority and responsibility. One-man control is the surest safeguard against despotic and arbitrary conduct. The principle underlying one-man control, whether the one-man be the captain of a man-of-war, or the manager ola plantation, or an engine-driver, is that whilst invested with supreme authority in his own department, he is yet a man under authority, who can be called to account should he on the one hand arbitrarily neglect to exercise the authority committed to him, or on the other presume to transgress the limits of his instructions. Now this is precisely the position occupied by a Bishop in the church. If invested with the chief authority within her own jurisdiction, he is still under the authority of the church of which he is a minister. It is his office not to make but to administer the laws of the church, and to see that they are observed. And when charges of arbitrary conduct are freely scattered abroad Euitor of against an overseer, one might justly complain o an editor lending wings to such charges before he has made inquiry into the foundation on which they rest. To the mind ol the schoolboy, a head master is terribly arbitrary who inquires into and takes notice of an offence, but no suspicion of arbitrariness crosses the schoolboy mind when an extra holiday is given. In later life popular judgments too often follow the schoolboy way of looking at things. Were I disposed to be cantankerous, I might take you to task for the impression unfavorable to myself that your article was clearly intended to leave in the minds of your readers, and that on, as you admit, imperfect information with regard to the matter in hand. But rather than do this, let me say that I entirely agree with your statement that arbitrary proceedings have of late come to be at a considerable discount. Yes, has not the arbitrary power of a secret council which not two years ago gagged the press, and under which no man durst call his soul his own, vanished away like smoke? If I mistake not certain arbitrary proceedings with which my responsible position has brought me into antagonism, will be similarly discounttd and discountenanced by all who have respect for law, and desire to see the religious and social as well as political fabric built up on the foundation of truth and integrity. Yours faithfully, ALFRED WILLIS, March 22, 1889. Bishop of Honolulu. The Bishop of Honolulu. After much hesitation, and at some inconvenience, we have given space to Bishop Willis' communicator. We sin- cerely regret the division in the Anglican Church, and apprehend that this letter will not tend to allay it. This, however, is not for us to judge, and the Bishop has some claim to a hearing in the Friend, after our allusion to the case, for making which we thought that we had sound reasons. Our information was by no means confined to what appeared in the Anglican Monthly, as the Bishop seems to infer. The tone of his letter may assist our readers in forming an opinion as to whether any element of "arbitrariness" entered into the Bishop's recent proceedings, or whether he exhibited due regard to the opinions of the able and esteemed gentlemen with whom he is at issue, and who are by no means "schoolboys." In regard to the "Secret Council" who initiated the late political Reform, we would say for the information of our readers abroad, that substantially all the measures of Reform which the League devised are now part of the Constitution and laws of this Kingdom, and that the Ministry nominated by the League are still in their seats, administering our public affairs with reasonable success, and not more than the average wholesome amount of adverse criticism. Having successfully accomplished its task of suppressing Autocratic and establishing Responsible government, any further activity on the part of such secret council would seem uncalled for, and inconsistent with their own principles. Herein, however, the Bishop seems unable to repress the exhibition of that profound sympathy for Autocracy in opposition to Constitutional government, which has always characterized the Prelatical order. Although we do not, like Bishop Willis, [April, 1889. consider theprelatical Episcopate to have any special Divine sanction, we feel no such disrespect for that office, or for the office of a king, as he imputes to us. In certain very common social conditions, those officers are more or less indispensable, like parental control over minors. In advanced social conditions, they may continue to be useful and endurable, if prudently administered. We have the highest respect for a monarch like Victoria, who scrupulously keeps within her established limitations, or for a diocesan Bishop, who ministers faithfully and wisely, as a' servant of the Church, and not as an autocrat. Our observation about "use for one man control," was specially limited (as quoted by the Bishop) to "either in state or church." None of his instances are of either civil or ecclesiastical administration, and so have no application to the case. Three of the leading nations, England, France, and America, are now under almost purely Representative government. A large proportion of the leading Protestant churches are quite emancipated from hierarchic control. We seem to clearly see this to be the line upon which our Lord is guiding the world's upward progress towards his coming kingdom of righteousness and peace. We look upon the present unhappy trouble in the Anglican church in Honolulu as an instructive object-lesson as to this resistless tendency in enlightened communities towards liberal and against autocratic administration. Such a lesson seemed too important and interesting to be passed by without such application as we made of it. In all this we disclaim any personal disrespect for the Bishop, whom we regard a most estimable and conscientious gentleman. Church Dedication at Paia. On Sunday, March 10th, the Makawao Foreign Church occupied for the first time their commodious and elegant church edifice at Paia. Special dedicatory services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, assisted by Rev. Messrs. W. B. Oleson and S. E. Bishop, who were invited from Honolulu for that purpose. An audience of fully two hundred persons were assembled, nearly all whites. After the introductory services, including anthemsand responsive readings, " Dedicatory Remarks" were presented by the pastor, in an address of great force and earnestness. A responsive service was then recited by the pastor and people, standing. It closed with formal words of solemn dedication of the the house to the worship and service of God. Dedicatory prayer was offered by Rev. S. E. Bishop. Messrs. Oleson and Bishop addressed the people on the topics of " The Church and the Community," and "The Church and the World." The services closed with a dedicatory hymn, and prayer and benediction by Rev. Mr. Morrison, an aged vis- �Volume 47, No. 4.] 29 THE FRIEND. itor of the Episcopal Church. The lapse for want of funds.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, - Editor. Arrival of the Morning Star. A little past noon on Wednesday, March Gth, the Morning Star steamed into our harbor, and was soon alongside of her usual wharf. In reference to the return of the Star, the old saying is verified again and again, that "the unexpected always happens." According to the programme of the voyage, April 29 was to be the day of return, making a full ten months' voyage from the time of departure, July 13. The Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, Rev. O. P. Emerson, started on Tuesday (only the day before the arrival of the Star) to make a four weeks' tour around the island of Hawaii. His absence during the hurrying times between the arrival of the Star and the departure for the States of the missionaries who came up from Micronesia and left March 14 on the Australia for San Francisco, was much regretted. Effort was made to get word to him in season to ensure his return on the 12th, but it was unavailing. Rev. F. E. Rand and Miss J. E. Fletcher from Ponape, Rev. D.J. Treiber, wife and babe from Ruk, Rev. A. C. Walkup and three motherless children from Kusaie, came up in the Star on their way to the States. Mr. Snelling was left living alone in his house at Ruk to care for that large field, with such assistance as the helper, H. F. Worth, could give. Mr. Doane, now nearly 70 years of age, is left alone to attend to the church work on Ponape, while Miss Ingersoll and Miss Palmer must carry on the Ponape Girls' Hoarding School with all the disadvantages of ill health and over-taxed energies. The Gilbert Islands Training School on Kusaie is closed. The school on Kusaie for Gilbert and Marshall Islands girls, 12 of each, is under the charge of Miss Smith and Miss Little. The Gilbert Island girls expect to be taken home on the next voyage of the Star for a visit. Miss Crosby assists Dr. and Mrs. Pease in the training school on Kusaie for the Marshall Islands Mission, but her health is not good, even when she is at her best. The Star was favored with exceptionally good weather during the whole voyage. The change made in the usual route, so as to give the first of the time to the Marshall Islands work, proves to have been a better arrangement for securing freedom from detention and danger, than the plan of previous voyages. The work was so far advanced early in the trip that nearly four weeks less than the allotted time sufficed for doing up subsequently the Gilbert Islands work, and returning to Kusaie to take the final departure for the Carolines, Their work among the Mortlocks was shortened far within the allotted time, but the Star did not return to Ponape lest the provisions should not suffice for the voyage to Honolulu with so many passengers. Besides the returning missionaries, the Star brought up the officers of the shipwrecked San Francisco trading vessel Champion,from Ponape. They had waited nearly four months for an opportunity to return to the States. At Tarawa, one of the Gilbert Islands, the Star found remains of the wreck of a vessel whose name, the Rock Terrace, Captain Garland found after several hours search, on a piece of board that had drifted ashore. The vessel itself had been abandoned at Guam, and drifted over 2,000 miles, with only slight damage, to be finally wrecked only a few yards from the channel into the lagoon, where it might have found a harbor of safety for an indefinite period. Very little of her cargo of kerosene oil was secured by the islanders. The Star had her narrow escapes as usual, and touched twice on the coral reefs of islands visited. Capt. Garland dropped anchor forty-one times, visited thirty-two different islands, some of them never before visited by this Star, Mejuro, Ujae and Namu in the Marshall group, and Xgatic in the Carolines. It is always an occasion for regret that a steam windlass for hoisting was not part of the equipment of the Star. With the few seamen that constitute the crew, the difficulty and danger of weighing anchor would be greatly diminished if steam power could be used for this purpose. The vessel must be newly coppered before the next voyage. The paint put on a year ago has proved of great benefit in protecting the copper, but the excessive saltness of tropic seas corrodes the metal with great rapidity. The Star's copper is remarkably clean, probably from lying so long in fresh water at Kusaie. The German officials in the Marshall Islands have established such regulations for vessels plying in the group as greatly to enhance the difficulties of the voyage. Two hundred and fifty dollars must be paid for a license to sell goods; and to visit Pleasant Island, recently annexed by the Germans, a vessel must get the requisite papers from Jaluij, the only port of entry in the Marshall Islands, to which group Pleasant Island does not belong. The German commercial firm which has agreed to make up the expenses of administration, must, in order to save themselves from pecuniary loss, fillout the cash balance to their credit by heavy taxation on the people and the traders. One great difficulty in the proper management of the Star seems to be the failure always to secure Christian men, interested in helping forward its missionary work, and in maintaining its good name as a missionary vessel while managing their special work of navigating the ship. In spite of the many perplex- 31 THE FRIEND. ities peculiar to the character of the work, Capt. Garland has shown admirable patience and consistency. It must not be forgotten, in the interest felt for the success of the Micronesian mission, that much of that success must depend on the character, ability and helpfulness of the master of the missionary packet. Marquesas Islands. It is pleasant to learn through Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson, the well-known author, who has recently visited the Marquesas group, that the veteran Hawaiian missionary Rev. S. Kauwealoha, continues to exercise a strong personal influence in the cause of religion and morality. Amid the foreign residents, with their loose living and rough words, he bears himself with geniality and courtesy, yet with dignity and prudence, as befits a Christian minister. Rev. A. Savran, a protestant French missionary from Tahiti, has assisted Rev. James Kekela since March, 18N2, in his work at Puamau, where there is a school with 80 children. Kekela's youngest daughter has been sent to Tahiti to acquire a better knowledge of the French language, which is now the only language to be used in the schools. She will be fifteen years old in July, at which time she expects to return to the Marquesas. Emily Hapuku has a school at Atuona with 70 scholars. The children at Fatuiva and Uapou must go to the Catholic schools, because no other teachers are provided. Kekela and Kauwealoha are doing their best to translate the New Testament into the Marquesan language. They would like to receive letters frequently from Hawaii, but few persons write to them, and they are sad to think how completely cut off is all personal connection with the home land and home friends.

Nearly 200 of them returned to Japan by the last steamer, but before their departure presented $ 160 to the Buddhist priest who came by that vessel, and who is now maintaining Buddhist rites at Hilo. There are six class meetings now organized, and meetings are held every Friday evening at Waikiki. The Sunday school, the singing class, the English evening school, the Sunday morning and Wednesday evening classes, the Y. M. C. A. semi-monthly meetings, the Mutual Benefit Union, the Temperance League, are all flourishing. Mr. Ukai had remarkable success in his recent preaching tour on Hawaii. Mr. Takeshita has visited every plantation on Maui. Rev. Mr. Miyama went to Hilo via the volcano on the W. G. Hall, on the 26th ult., expecting to be absent from Honolulu several weeks. �[April, 1889. THE FRIEND 32 The Secretary received a very pleasant call from Mr. C. H.

A return to the of Christian work in this ocean-girt KingHall has resulted in increased attendance and more profitable meetings. The Blue Ribbon entertainments have not been held so frequently for the past few months, but have been better attended when held, more men present and a larger number of names have been added to the pledge roll. Several have called on the Secretary during the intervening days and signed the pledge; showing more good is wrought than appears at the time, in the meetings. Now that we are shut up to our own resources in gospel work, let the following words of the Psalmist become more emphatically our motto: "I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth." The book-keeping class has been suspended during the limited absence of Mr. Jones. It will be resumed on his return. Personals. We miss the familiar and helpful presence of Mr. P. C. Jones, who, accompanied by his wife, has taken a briefbusiness trip to San Francisco. Mr. Henry K. Hyde, who for the last two years has been a regular attendant upon our meetings and a quiet helper in our work, has left these tropical shores to make his home in the East. Mr. T. S. Southwick, who after an absence of two years in Southern California, has returned to Honolulu to fill a business engagement for a year, at least. Mr. Southwick served the Association most faithfully as its treasurer for two years during his former residence here. We are glad to welcome him again to our working force, and especially at this time when others are taking their departure. dom is its isolated location. We are largely shut in to ourselves and become so well acquainted with the workers and their methods, that the very familiarity, robs both men and means of their power to move and affect us for the highest good. For the last two or three years there has been a deepening conviction among our leading Christian workers, that a wise, able and consecrated evangelist should be secured to come down and stir us up. From a human stand-point this seems to be our supreme need. And the right man, under God will rind this a fruitful field for evangelistic labor. Earnest efforts have been made at different times to secure the help of three prominent Evangelists in America, but each has sent a negative response owing to uigent calls at home. Yet we believe early and well matured plans may secure a desirable Evangelist for a series of meetings next fall or in the early winter. And thereby we may share in the large blessing enjoyed in so many cities in the States, where hundreds of young men have been won to the Master during the last few months through the efforts of these divinely appointed messengers of life. Topics. The Gospel Praise Service held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall e\ery Sunday evening at 6:30 o'clock, will have the following topics for this month. April 7—Ruined by Appetite. Gen. 2.r>:2 J-34. Heb. 12:16. April 14—A Strange Cause for Rejoicing. Acts 5:40, 41. I Peter 4:13-19. April 21—Is My Name' in Both Books? Mai. 3:16-18. Rev. 21:2, 27. April 28—A Home we all may have. II Cor. 1:1-9. John 14:2, 3. Young men and strangers are cordially invited to the above services. , Christianity Forcibly Defended. The worst kind ofreligion in no religion at all, and all these men, lying in ease and luxury, indulging themselves in the "amusement of going without religion," may be thankful they live in lands where the gospel they neglect has tamed the beastliness and ferocity of the men who, but for Christianity, might long ago have eaten their carcasses like the S. S. Islanders, or cut off their heads and tanned their hides like the monsters of the French Revolution. When the microscopic search of skepticism, which has hunted the heavens and sounded the seas to disprove the existence of a Creator, has turned its attention to human society, and has found a place on this planet ten miles square, where a decent man can live in decency, comfort and security, supporting and educating his children, unspoiled, unpolluted—a place where age is reverenced, infancy respected, manhood respected, womanhood honored, and human life held in due regard—when skeptics can find such a place, ten miles square on this globe, where the gospel of Christ has not cleared the way, and laid the foundation and made decency and security possible, it will then be in order for skeptical literati to move thither and ventilate their views. But, as long as these men are dependent upon the religion, which they discard, for every privilege they enjoy, they may well hesitate a little before they seek to rob the Christian of his hope, and humanity of its faith in that Saviour who has alone given to man that hope of life eternal which makes life tolerable and society possible, and robs death of its terrors and the grave of its gloom.— jfames Russell Lowell. Some persons instead of "putting off the old man," dress him up in a new shape. St. Bernard. What the Bible brings to you will depend in a large measure on what you bring to it. You may have a crumb, or a loaf, or a granary full to bursting, just as you choose.—Dr. Behrcnds. Unless a man has trained himself for his chance, the chance will only make him ridiculous. A great occasion is worth to a man exactly what his antecedents has enabled him to make of it. William Matthews. One thousand four hundred and ninetythree young men profess conversion in the associations of Illinois. Of this number, 562 are known to have joined evangelical churches from October, 1887, to October, 1888. A Vale graduate who was a student about thirty years ago, said, in speaking of changes that had taken place since his time: "I never knew whether to attach any significance to it or not; but when I was there the law school adjoined the jail, the medical college was next the cemetery, and the divinity school was on theroad to the poorhouse. — — �THE FRIEND.

Mortlock Islands and Ruk. James Nisbel & Co., 1888, pp. 292. " This book is a carefully written history of the translation of the Bible and parts thereof which have been printed and circulated in the different languages of the natives of Oceanica. The dates of the first and of later editions are In the Loyalty Islands, the New Tesin 1867, in Lifu in 1868, and in Uvea in 1878. These have also been the work of the London Missionaries, save an edition of 500 copies of Mark, in 1859, in Lifu, translated by Mr. (afterwards Bishop) Patteson. Mr. Jones who was lately expelled by the French from Mare, has the entire Bible nearly ready for the press in that tongue. In New Britain, the chief laborer has been Rev. Geo. Brown, since 1875. He is supported by the Australian Wesleyans. He published Mark in 1882 and other portions in 1886. Like the more debased savages elsewhere, and especially the very sunken tribes of Melanesia, the people of New Britain have a multiplicity of tongues. The missions of New Guinea were begun as late as 1871 by Messrs Murray and McFarlane, of the London Missionary Society. The four Gospels were printed in 1884 in Motumotu, which is the Malayan branch of the mission, at Port Moresby. Mark and John are translated into the Papuan tongue spoken at the other branch at Murray Island. This is a young mission of great promise. There remain to be noted the issues of the American Bible Society in the various tongues of Micronesia, as given in this book. The translation of the New Testament was begun by Key. Hiram Bingham, Jr., into the language of the Gilbert Islands in 1859, and portions thereof were soon printed and in the hands of the people. Mr. Hotchkiss the printer, at Apaiang, of several books, is still living in Honolulu. Owing to repeated failures of health, the New Testament was only completed in 1873. A revised electrotype edition was issued in New York in 1880, and many thousand copies have been sold. Mr. Bingham has also translated a considerable portion of the Old Testament, six books of which have been issued from the press. He hopes to complete the whole Bible by 1893. The New Testament in the Marshall Islands tongue was brought to completion by Rev. Dr. Pease, and published in 1885. Dr. Pease is proceeding with the Old Testament. Genesis was printed in 1882, from Rev. J. F. Whitney's translation. Kusaie or Strong's Island, Through the labors of Rev. B. G. Snow, enjoys the chief portions of the New Testament, and a few fragments of the Old. Only 400 of the natives remain. Mr. Snow died in 1880. tament appeared in Mare given; the numbers of books printed are stated; the names of the translators of different portions are recorded. Interesting and important circumstances connected with the foregoing are related. A brief resume of the missionary operations in each group is given as a necessary part of the history of the circulation of the Scriptures. This volume is thus not only a history of the work done in the Pacific at the cost of the British and American Bible Societies, but also a very lively, although abridged history of Protestant Missions in the Pacific. It possesses a high value as a book of reference on the latter topic, while it must be the standard of reference upon the former subject. We have hastily gone over the book, and find in it the history of the publication of the entire Bible by the British and Foreign Bible Society in six Polynesian languages, namely Tahitian, 1838, Rarotongan, 1852, Samoan, 1859, Tongan, 1859; Fijian, 1864, and New Zealand, 1869; also the New Testament in Niue and Rotuman in 1866 and 1870, with half the Old Testament in the former, and portions of the same in the latter. The first Scripture printed in Rotuman, was Matthew, translated by Rev. Joseph VVaterhouse. The American Bible Society completed the entire Scriptures in the Hawaiian tongue in May, 1839, just a half century ago, and one year later than the Tahitian mission, which was begun twenty-three years earlier than the Hawaiian. The New Testament was first issued in the Hawaiian tongue in 1833, in Tahitian, 1830, Rarotongan, 1838, New Zealand, 1837, Samoan, 1850. In Tonga, Fiji and Rotuma, the work was done by Wesleyan Missionaries; in the rest, except New Zealand, by those of the London Missionary Society. The New Zealand work was done by men of the Church Missionary Society. The British Society has also printed the Scriptures in thirteen languages of Melanesia. Seven of these are in the New Hebrides group, viz.: Fotuna, Niua, Aneiteum, Tanna, Eramanga, Vate or Sandwich 1., and Nguna. In five of these tongues only portions of the Scriptures have been printed. The New Testament is just being issued in Tanna, besides much of the Old Testament. The entire Bible was published in Ponape or Ascension Island. Aneiteum by the labors of Messrs GedMr. Gulick translated the first eight des and Copeland, in 1881, the New Testament having been previously chapters of Matthew, which were printed issued in 1862. The evangelization of in 1859. Messrs Sturges and Doane the New Hebrides was begun through completed the New Testament, and the have These are closely allied in language. Mr. Logan got Mark printed in 1880. Through the American Bible Society he published the whole New Testament in 1883. This was done, and quite well done, in five years after he began to learn the language. This was rapid work. The best time we find to have been made elsewhere in the Pacific, was twelve years in Hawaii, thirteen in Mare, and fourteen in Aneiteum. Dr. Pease translated half the New Testament, and revised and published the whole in eight years after beginning to learn the Marshall language. This completes our schedule of the statistics scattered through this book. They are interwoven with the history of these missions of Oceanica, filled with incidents of toil, perils, even martyrdoms of blessed harvests of souls, and of light pouring into all dark places. It is cheering to know that after forty years of French domination, the Tahitians have in the last twelve years, bought 9,000 new Bibles. This volume bears strong testimony to the high character of most of the translations as to critical accuracy, and happy rendering of the original tongue into the native idioms. In all the versions of the Old Testament, "the sacred name Jehovah is transliterated, never translated, thus adding immeasurably to the force of the contrast between the ever living God and the objects worshipped by the heathen. The English rendering of I Kings, 18:21 is tame indeed in comparison with the Rarotongan," or the Hawaiian. "If Jehovah be God, follow him.". We are indebted to Rev. H. Bingham for the use of his copy of this valuable book, for which he furnished the author with the material for the chapters on the versions of the Bible made in the North Pacific. Catholicism Inhospitable to Truth. If a Church claims to be the alone adequate representative of the religion, and in itself sufficient for the religious needs and aspirations of man, then in the degree it has failed to be either or both its claims will be a fatal hindrance to the truthful handling alike of religion and history. As a simple matter of fact, the higher the claims of a Church the more sectional its spirit. In the very proportion that it limits to its own borders the higher truth and goodness, its judgments become less true and less just. Its fundamental doctrine is its own sufficiency for the truth, rather than the sufficiency of the truth for it and for all other societies. A. M. Fairbairn. — The specious panorama of a year But multiplies the image of a day,— A belt of mirrors round a taper's flame. -Xeuophanes. �THE FRIEND. Selections.

Address to the Law Students, Howard University, — Virginia. How long since was it that we heard something aboet Tolstoi and the eternal nature of his fame? Last week (or was it the week before?) the Russian fad faded out with a final number about insanity. Outside the metropolitan walls, the public mind kept its balance all the time and foresaw the factitious and ephemeral influence that Tolstoi was to exert.- Maurice Thompson.. A Southern speaker told of a farmer in the Shenandoah valley, who used to hang out a Federal flag when the Yankee troops came along, and the Confederate flag when their troops came along. One day one of his neighbors went to him and said 'look here, now! What are you, anyhow ?' 'If you will tell me what troops are going to be along to-morrow' replied the trimmer, I'll tell you!' Oh! -we know all about that. What I want to know is what you are down in your heart? 'Well, neighbor,' was the reply, 'if you won't tell anybody, I'll tell you. I'm nothing nothing, and blame little of that.' There are some specimens of the same type hanging around the churches. (1) Get a good start in the morning by having time for prayer when you rise. (2) Put the word of God in the right place. Feed upon it. Make yourself a Bible and prayer union. (3) Pray for what you want. Talk the day's business over with the Lord. (4) Get a dinner-time for the soul. Don't go on from morning to night without a few minutes of spiritual retirement in the middle of the day. It is common-sense that baffles the devil. (5) End the day well. Review it and call your sins by the right name. Have straightforward dealings with the Lord. Don't confess sins you have not committed. Mark Guy Pearse. Sacerdotalism.—If our church continues to scorn gifts that do not flow down Episcopal lawn and through Episcopal fingers; if she will prefer shallowy succession to grace, learning and power; if she perseveres in her haughty exclusiveness, her future in America is plain. — — — She will alienate and forever the masculine intelligence of a free people. Her success will be more and more among the enervated rich and the superstitious poor. Spectacular displays will soon degrade her majestic liturgy, emasculate her faith, enfeeble her pulpits, and contract her influence. Having lost the spirit of the Reformation she will change her name and obliterate her Articles. From the catholicity she boasts, she will sink into the sectism of a mimic sacerdotalism and a petrifying ecclesiasticism.—f. McDowell Leavitt, D.D. The mind wants steadying and setting right many times a d,ay. It resembles a compass placed on a rickety table —the least stir of the table makes the needle swing round and point untrue. Let it settle, then, till it points right. He perfectly silent for a few moments, thinking about Jesus; there is almost a divine force in silence. Drop the thing that worries, that excites, that interests, that thwarts you; let it fall like a sediment to the bottom, until the soul is no longer turbid, and say, secretly: "Grant, I beseech Thee, merciful Lord, to Thy faithful servant pardon and peace, that I may be cleansed from all my sins and serve Thee with a quiet mind."

The Caucasian also comes with By Rev. S. E. Bishop. 1888.1 Darwin an which has been much ''Mr. supplied expression in vogue, "The survival of the fittest." This is scarcely applicable in the present case, since in Hawaii nei there is no competitive "struggle for existence" between weaker and stronger races of men. The Hawaiian Islands have been far more than sufficiently productive for the ample supply of the needs of all the people living here since the beginning of this century. So far all the different races have lived in plenty, and in amity with each other. A crowded condition might be conceived as possible in the future, when the thrifty and capable classes would push the inefficient and improvident classes into penury. In such case, one would think the Chinese to be the best fitted for the "struggle for existence," and the Polynesian the least fitted. The former inherits an education of hundreds of generations in living on the minimum of necessaries, also an unequaled patience of industry and tactful thriftiness for procuring those necessaries. The latter, thriftless and indolent in comparison, would be crowded out of the land. No such conditions exist. There is no struggle to find subsistence. One race is as fit to survive as another, so far as obtaining a living is concerned, in a country where the wages of one day's unskilled labor will purchase all indispensable food and raiment for a whole week. Neither is the climate of Hawaii less favorable to the health of one race than to that of another. It is comparatively a perfect climate, absolutely devoid of extremes of temperature, free from humidity, swept by the ever purging ocean airs, and seemingly incapable of long harboring malarial or zymotic diseases. Possibly an Esquimaux might not thrive here. For all other races, it is an Eden in salubrity. Yet it is the strange fact—in view of the amiable and attractive qualities of Polynesians, the distressingly sad fact that simultaneously with the arrival of white men in these islands, the Hawaiian people began rapidly to melt away, and that this waste has continued up to the present with substantial steadiness. At the date of the discovery, Captain Cook estimated the population at 400,000. Later historians have leaned to the more moderate estimate of 250,-000. My father who was one of the first party of white men to travel around Hawaii in 1824, then observed such evidences of recent extensive depopulation in all parts of that island, that he very decidedly supported the estimate of Cook. There are now less than 40,000 pure Hawaiians surviving. The later counts have been taken with reasonable accuracy. One is led to suspect that the earlier ones omitted considerable numbers, when one observes the comparative sparseness of native population in every district, as compared with the relatively dense population fifty years ago, when only 12.r),000 were counted, or little more than three times the present number. With the exception of the towns of Honolulu, Hilo, and Wailuku, every large and populous town in the islands has dwindled to a hamlet since my boyhood, and the then frequent and considerable hamlets scattered everywhere, have almost all disappeared. The recollections of fifty years since are of throngs and swarms of natives everywhere. Yet even then all the talk was of how the islands had become depopulated; even then, in travelling, the deserted sites of villages and hamlets with abandoned plantations were constantly pointed out. Have we now one in six of the ancient numbers of natives, or have we only one in ten? It is immaterial; the fact remains of an enormous depopulation. And yet, in the totalabsence ofany struggle for existence, all the more or less civilized races migrating here, appear to thrive and multiply abundantly, and the children surpass their parents in health and in stature. At first sight, these foreigners do not average as equal to. the Hawaiian. The [Read to Honolulu Social Science Association, Noveinliei, — his family and multiplies amain. The query then is, under what peculiar disabilities does the Hawaiian labor, as to vitality and power of propagation, from which the foreign races living here, are exempt? This inquiry is farther complicated by the fact that these disabilities, whatever they are, seem to have first sprung into efficiency upon contact with the white race. The coming of that race appears to have introduced new deleterious influence, and created new conditions, under which the Polynesian, somewhere weak, succumbs. We are to seek to clearly define what these unfavorable conditions are, and wherein the weakness of the native race to withstand these adverse influences, consists./ I here limit our inquiry to the Hawaiians, because with this people only do we possess any intimate acquaintance. A similar state of things prevails more or less throughout Polynesia, and ultimate extinction appears to threaten the native population of most of the groups of Polynesia. We are to endeavor to define the precise causes of depopulation. We should strive to indicate exactly what adverse influences have been steadily at work for five generations to kill off the Hawaiian people. There has been a great deal of vague generalization—of indefinite talk about a weak race succumbing to the stronger. We want to quit vagueness and generalities, and find the answer to the question, "In what respects, particularly and precisely, are the Hawaiian people weaker than their white, or their Mongoloid guests?" This will prepare us for the further inquiry, by what means can this weak race be so invigorated that it will again multiply? Our first effort—perchance unskilled and misdirected, is to diagnose the deadly malady which is slaying the people. •'As the leading and most efficient element of weakness in the Hawaiian race, tending to physical decay, we predicate: 1. Unchastity. This has always been general among females as well as males. The Hawaiian female was, like males of other races, aggressive in solicitation. It was matter of good form that all proposals should be expressed by the female. It is still so, except to the extent that foreign ideas have permeated society. The records of Cook's discovery of the group indicate that state of things as originally existing. The account written by Dr. Ellis, Cook's chief surgeon, states how at Kauai where they first touched, Captain Cook was determined, on account of serious disease among his men, to permit no intercourse with the women so as not to introduce disease among the Hawaiians. It was, however, impracticable to prevent the women from swarming over the ships. The native account received from participants by the early missionaries, states that it was arranged in public council that the women should take this course, as the easiest way of obtaining iron and other prized articles from the ships. Proceeding from Niihau to Alaska, and returning nine months later, Cook's ships made the coast of Hamakua, Hawaii. He again sought to keep the women from his crew, but discovered that they were already infected with the malady. So promiscuous were the habits of the people, that from the first center of infection at Waimea, the malady had in nine months, spread like a fire to the other extremity of the group. This again, is corroborated by the information obtained by the early missionaries as to the spread of the disease. Dr. Ellis describes in words undesirable to here reproduce the grossly aggressive and impetuous action of the females. It was the universal practice of ordinary hospitality to visitors, to supply them during their sojourn, with the women of the family. Such a matter-of-course tender was a frequent cause of annoyance to the early missionaries in their tours in remoter districts, enjoying the cordial hospitality of the most well to-do people in their neat thatched cottages. lam not prepared t say how far this heathen �Volume 47, No. 3.] 19 THE FRIEND. custom has now lapsed into disuse. It is certainly one of the old customs sought to be maintained and revived to- gether with the hulas and idolatrous practices. One of the painful experiences of missionaries in the out-districts, was to hear of this practice being carried out in the chief households of his parish when some great man came along with his suite. I speak from repeated personal experience as a missionary pastor. It may be said in general that chastity had absolutely no recognition. It was simply a thing unknown and unthought of as a virtue in the old domestic life of Hawaii. * A woman who withheld herself was counted sour and ungracious. This did not exclude more or less of marital proprietorship, involving an invasion of the husband's right in enjoying his property without his consent. There was no impurity in it, any more than among brute animals. There was, however, a salutary limitation of some importance in a frequent stringent guarding of early virginity. Young maidens were quite commonly put under tabu for first use by the chief, after possession by whom all restriction ceased. No sense of a sacredness in chastity seems to have been involved in this, nor any sense of profanation in the contrary. It was only the thought of a special choiceness in an article that was fresh and unused. In the tremendous disturbances of life ensuing upon the advent of the white man, even this solitary restriction perished. No severe moral reprobation is due to the primitive Hawaiian for what seems to have been an ignorant innocence of easy, promiscuous living, like the free life of animals, without sense of evil. None the less must we deem this social condition more than any other to have incapacitated the Hawaiians from holding their own after the advent of the white man. During the simplicity of aboriginal life, and in the total absence of sexual diseases, the evils resulting from promiscuous intercourse would be minimized. Procreative force remained largely in excess of mortality, so that the teeming population was kept down by infanticide. But to the malady which the white man imported, the unguarded social condition was as tow to the flame. The scorching and withering disease ran like wildfire through the nation. Multitudes died at once, while the survivors remained with poisoned bodies and enfeebled constitutions. A general impairment of constitutional vigor in the people by venereal disease caused them to fall early victims to other maladies, both native and foreign. All diseases ran riot in their shattered constitutions. They became especially incapacitated to resist pulmonary maladies. The greatly increased prevalence of colds and consumption is doubtless due to this syphilitic diathesis, rather than to change of habits as to clothing, although the latter may have had some unfavorable effect. Probably the pestilence called Okuu, whatever its nature, which carried off such a bulk of the population in 1804, owed most of its virulence to the impaired physique of the people. Another destructive effect of the syphilitic taint is believed to have been an inflaming of sexual passion. It may have acted as a ferment thrown into the former more quiet pool of promiscuous social living. There can be no doubt that the advent of foreigners in large numbers was attended by an immense increase of debased and bestial living. Ten thousand reckless seamen of the whaling fleet annually frequented these islands and used it as their great brothel. This enormously aggravated and inflamed the. normal unchastity of the people. In the presence'of the white hordes life became hideously brutalized. To multitudes of young women, gathered into the seaports for profit, from half the households in the country, life became a continuous orgie of beastly excess. All the former slender limitations and restrictions upon an indiscriminate commerce fell to pieces. The stormy and reckless passion of the white man, exulting in his unwonted license, imparted itself to the warm but sluggish Hawaiian nature. Life became a wasteful riot of impurity, propagated from the seaports to the end of the land. There was thus no defense against the new and try- ing conditions of life through any existing sentiment of the sacredness of chastity. The inevitable consequence was depopulation. The population of brothels and slums has no internal power of multiplying^ In the Report on the subject of Purity adopted by the 144 Bishops convened in the late Pan-Anglican Conference at Lambeth Palace, are the following words; "W« solemnly record our conviction that wherever marriage is dishonored, and sins of the flesh are lightly regarded, the home life will be destroyed, and the nation itself will sooner or later, decay and perish." The source of this language will lend it great weight. The Hawaiian nation is a sad witness to their truth. 'One of the most destructive consequent'*n of the new physical taint was the enfeeblement of int. ncy, rendering it difficult for the diseased babes to survive Hie ignorant and careless dealing of their nurses. The largest increase in the mortality of the Hawaiians was undoubtedly among their infants. The external influences adverse to infant survival among Hawaiians are very great. Chief among these are the practice of feeding with unsuitable nutriment in early infancy, the prevalence of unchecked cutaneous maladies, general lack of watchful care, and evil doses administered by ignorant or superstitious friends. Healthy and vigorous infants, as of the old times, would in good numbers, survive all these hostile conditions. Those born into the taint of syphilis, with its inward and outward corrosions, had little prospect of surviving other maltreatments, unless some missionary or other beneficent foreigner came to their aid with his simple regimen and alleviations. Under this general head of Unchastity, as the chief cause of the depletion of the race, a considerable share must be attributed to the extensive loss of procreative power in the males. This loss was probably due in part to syphilitic taint, but is mainly owing to early sexual excess during puberty. In the aboriginal condition, there would seem to have been less tendency to very early indulgence among the males. The nervous irritations of the syphilitic taint, and the exciting excesses pervading native society, may have been causes extending debauching influences even to the children. It is certain' that in many districts, deplorable excesses have been found to exist among the school children. It seems to be true that a majority of young Hawaiian men never have children. Those placed early under the discipline of foreigners, in boarding schools or otherwise show exceptions to the common rule. The incapacity seems to be mainly on the part of the males. Young women united to Chinamen or white men are usually quite as fruitful as women of other races. Per contra, it is to be noted that such men are apt to select the best conditioned females, also that they are accustomed to restrain and to protect their wives, as Hawaiians do not, and so keep them in healthier condition. The common record of Hawaiian families is, few ornochildren born, or perhaps several born, most or all of whom die in infancy. It is exceedinglyraretofind alargefamily surviving to adultage. Nearly all such that I have known were families underthe immediateand veryparental control of some missionary, with whom the parents had lived from early youth, learning habits of industry, self-control, and civilized domestic living. They were themselves kept in vigor and health, their children were well cared for, and well doctored in sickness. Natives so situated very frequently not only raised large families, but by means of their superior industry, skill and thrift, acquired considerable substance. Being thereby placed in a high social rank among their countrymen, it has too commonly resulted, that most of their children became dissolute, like the children of the wealthy elsewhere, and the family failed to be continued. Among other disastrous effects of the universal syphilitic taint was the frequency of miscarriages. It has been the testimony of missionaries and physicians, that a very considerable proportion of native births have been prevented by that cause. In my inquiries in native households, this has ' �20 THE FRIEND been assigned as frequently as any other, as the cause of the absence of children. To make such inquiries is indeed melancholy. One becomes glad to hear that even one or two children are surviving in a household. Abortion is often attributed to active horseback exercise during pregnancy. As native females used to be continually galloping about, no doubt this has contributed to the evil since 1850, when the common people began generally to possess horses. With the development of good roads, wheels are now coming into very common use by all classes. 2. Drunkenness. This should be assigned to no inconsiderable place among disabling conditions. Before the haole arrived, the favorite narcotic was awa (piper methysticum) more commonly known throughout Oceanica as kava. A beer of some strength was made by fermenting sweet potato. The sirupy Ki-root (Draccena Ti) was also macerated and fermented, becoming still more alcoholic than the potato. This was less acceptable, tending to produce irascibility, while the sour potato swill only inflamed sexuality. No great orgugs of drunkenness resulted from the use of any of the foregoing. The vice existed only in mild forms. Awa in excess tended to waste and paralyze the system. With the foreigner came the products of the still. Only then did drunkenness begin to reign. Drunken orgies were an essential part of the beach-comber's paradise on Hawaiian shores. He found the Hawaiian an apt disciple, save that like all savages, he did not know how to stop. The story of the early missionaries is one of constant impediment in their labors from the inebriety of the King and Chiefs, and of frequent annoyance and disturbance from the riotous orgies of the common people. While Kamehameha lived, he put considerable check upon both his people and himself as to temperance. His youthful successor, Liholiho, plunged, with his people, into a carnival of excess. The contribution of drunkenness to depopulation was mainly indirect, although powerful. It tended to overturn and destroy whatever remains of wholesome social order and domestic life survived the general wreck consequent upon foreign intercourse. It stimulated the passions; it solved the remaining bonds of self-restraint; it flung prudence to the winds; thus it enhanced the effectiveness of the causes previously described. Intemperance is always a chief ally of impurity. The gin-mill and the brothel are close partners. 3. Oppression by the Chiefs. There was a considerable mortality during the first quarter of this century, when the Sandal wood trade was active, caused by the heavy exactions of the King and Chiefs upon the common people to procure this precious commodity, wherewith to liquidate their immense debts to the traders, incurred for yachts and costly luxuries. Great numbers of men were driven into the mountains upon this errand, passing many nights in cold and rain with slight protection and little food. The result was great waste of life, and the almost entire extirpation of the precious tree. Other severe exactions of labor were common. Great levies of labor and supplies were frequently made at a chiefs caprice from the tenants of remote estates, to be brought to the island capital. This was an evil much increased by the temptations of foreign trade. No doubt it materially contributed to the decimation of the people. Oppression by Chiefs has ceased to be an operative cause for nearly half a century, or since Constitutional government began to exist. 4. Infectious and Epidemic Diseases. These have largely added to" the destruction of the population. There seems to be good reason for accepting the theory that new diseases attack with more severity and greater fatality races who are unaccustomed to them or to their like. No doubt any race becomes in time somewhat hardened to the diseases which infest it, the weaker and more susceptible individuals being weeded out, and the hardier ones transmitting their resisting power to descendants. Measles first appeared here in 1849. Great numbers died [March, 1889. in all parts of the group. The excess of mortality was attributed to the patients' bathing in order to alleviate the external heat and irritation of the malady. Small-pox first arrived in 1853. Before vaccination could be efficiently administered to the natives, the- infection had spread over the Island of Oahu, and one-half, or 15,000 of the people on that island perished in a few weeks. After their manner, they rushed to visit their friends when attacked by the disease. Isolation and precaution against infection is foreign to their natures. By the energy of the then "missionary" government quarantine measures were vigorously enforced on the other islands, and the people thoroughly vaccinated, so that only a few hundred deaths occurred. Foreigners were all promptly vaccinated, and nearly all escaped. Malarial and other epidemics have been repeatedly introduced, and from time to time have produced extensive mortality among, the natives. The admirable climate, with its sea-air and the ozone of the mountain land-breezes, seemed in each case rapidly to mitigate the virulence with which earlier cases of the new malady would be characterized, later cases assuming milder forms, until the disease seemed to slowly die out. This was very marked in the instance of what was known as the " 800-hoo" fever, which attacked all newly arrived foreigners. It was quite severe at its first appearance in 1851, but by 1857 had become a very trifling malady. Leprosy has been something of a scourge. Probably 4,000 lepers have died in these islands during the past thirty years. The number at present suffering from the disease cannot be more than 1,500, or four per cent, of the native population. For more than a year, or since the end of 1887, there has been a radical improvement in the work of segregating the lepers. There seems reason to believe that soon, nearly every leper will have been removed to the excellent asylum at Molokai. The lepers are nearly all natives. The disease very rarely appears among the white or the Mongoloid races living here, owing to their carefully avoiding intercourse with lepers. Hawaiians, on the contrary, mingle freely with lepers, in the most intimate daily intercourse. They commonly regard the segregation of their leprous relatives'as a cruel and uncalled for severity. This is only one illustration of the habitual indifference of this people to sanitation, whether in physics or in morals. Indeed the idea of disease being a product of natural agencies, and a thing to be averted by physical preventives, seems to be one quite foreign to the Hawaiian's mind, and contrary to his mode of thought. In common with other uncivilized races the world over, they were accustomed to attribute all diseases to the immediate agency of some personal demon, who enters the patient and malignantly distresses and destroys him. This brings us to another, and one of the most destructive of the agencies contributing to the diminution of the Hawaiian people. 5. Kahunas and Sorcery. The kahuna is the medicine man. He is properly a sorcerer or wizard, whose chief reliance for the relief of disease is the employment of supernatural agencies, although he will also perhaps use drugs and hygienic treatment. From ancient times these men and their arts have been powerful agencies of death, although not seldom effecting a species of faith cure." When a Hawaiian is ill, his superstitious relatives and friends immediately seek to persuade him that his sickness is owing to the malign presence of some demon, who must either be propitiated or expelled by force. Some kahuna is called in to accomplish this object. He is believed to enjoy special power with some patron demon, who may be the one needing to be propitiated, or whose agency may be called in to expel and overcome the perhaps less powerful agent of the disease. H one kahuna proves insufficient to the task, others must be found who possess the special influence needed. The processes employed are always expensive to the patient, and very commonly quite severe. (To be Continued.) " �Volume 47, No. 3.] Why Mauna Loa Must be La Mesa. Students oi Hawaiian history are aware that both Spanish and native evidence point to a discovery of the Hawaiian group by Spanish navigators in the sixteenth century. The native evidence is to the effect that white people landed from a wrecked ship at a place called Kulou in Kona, Hawaii, in the time of Kealuokaloa, who must have lived early in the sixteenth century. The particulars of the native tradition are found in Fornander's History,,Vol. 11, p.p. 106-110. The Spanish charts of the sixteenth!'century locate a group of islands in approximately the position of the Hawaiian group. The largest of these named La Mesa. A copy of such a Spanish chart may be seen in a folio edition of La Perouse's Voyage, in the public library. La Mesa, or the Tabic, is the conventional Spanish term for a level and elevated district, very commonly bounded by precipices. It has generally been thought to have been applied by the Spanish navigators to Mauna Loa as being a very broad and flat mountain. But the question arises, is the name La Mesa or high table land, one so corresponding to the aspect presented by Hawaii to navigators passing by it, that they would naturally apply it to that island? It certainly must be said that the appearance of Hawaii, as seen from the directions of north, northwest, and east, with which' residents here are most familiar, by no means is that of a tableland. It exhibits a series of very lofty mountains, the most distant one of which, is also of great lateral extension, and uniformity of surface. It is, however, a long low dome, rather than a table mountain, and is quite overshadowed by the majesty of the nearer Mauna .Kea. It is plainly seen to have a distinctly ascending grade clear to the summit. It is known, however, that the habitual route of the Spanish ships across the Pacific, was at a considerably lower latitude than that of Hawaii, and that their chance approach to that island would naturally have been upon the south. It is therefore the southern aspect of the island that should be studied, in considering the applicability to it of the name La Mesa. On the south side of Hawaii, Mauna Loa is the only mountain seen, and we wish to point out the fact, which we do not think has been hitherto noticed, that by a certain peculiar contour upon its southern side, this mountain does actually present in perspective, the semblance of a great table land. This peculiarity of contour consists in the existence of two great shoulders upon the E.S.E. and S.S.W. sides of Mauna Loa. The eastern one forms the great Kilauea plateau, which leaves the general slope of the great mountain at a 21 THE FRIEND. height of over 4,000 feet and with a very slight incline, quite flat to the eye, extends some ten miles to the sea, ending abruptly in the precipices above the Puna coast. The other great shoulder of Mauna Loa is that of Kahuku, which is also very nearly a plateau of some 0,0(1(1 feet in height. It runs out into the long southern extension of the island. On the south-east, as seen from Punaluu, it shows a precipitous front several miles back in the interior. These two shoulders or wings give to Mauna Loa a crescent-like contour towards the southeast. They also produce the deep bay of the south-east coast of the island, the head of which is at Punaluu. It is these two shoulders of the mountain with their precipitous fronts, seen with the main summit somewhat in the background, which in perspective present very precisely the aspect of an extended table land, as observed from vessels running down the coast from the eastward. The Spanish mariner we suppose to have first made the Puna coast. He first sees the great Kilauea plateau, with the low dome of Mouna Loa far in the rear, if seen at all. Passing Keauhou, Mauna Loa emerges fully into view, but as if a mere continuation inland of the Kilauea table, its actual height, as seen in perspective, escaping notice. Beyond the summit again, as the ship rapidly runs down with the trades, the Kahuku wing of the crescent comes to the front. The summit is still in the background, its actual height unappreciated ; the Kahuku shoulder seems but a continuation of one great plateau, of which the Mauna Loa summit seems to form the smooth level center. Although the distant center of the crescent is thrice the height of the nearer wings, yet as seen in perspective by an uninstructed eye, it would quite naturally be taken as but part of a table land of uniform height. This effect would be the more likely to be produced, since the first impression of a table land would have been so strongly given in approaching the Kilauea plateau from the east. It seems to us that much account should also be made of the very exceptionally smooth contours of Hawaii. High tropical islands almost universally present an aspect of serrated pinnacles and ridges, the effect of long continued atmospheric erosion. Hawaii and especially Mauna Loa has not yet experienced such erosion. Mauna Loa is a virgin mountain, only just emerged from Earth's fiery womb, her smooth form as yet unwrinkled and unscarred by the tempests of ages.- Such smooth, low mountain forms as those of southern Hawaii are seen nowhere else in the Pacific Ocean, or upon the adjacent continents. Their aspect must have been a strange one to the voyaging Spaniards. They would give it a strange and peculiar name. We seem certainly justified in claiming the name La Mesa as belonging to Hawaii, because it is distinctively characteristic of its southern perspective, and because it is absolutely inapplicable to any other island in the Pacific Ocean. Does not then the name La Mesa, identify the island of Hawaii beyond a doubt? We have shown it to fit perfectly the superficial aspect of that island as seen from the southeast; and it could never have been suggested by any other land in this ocean. Episcopacy. Our excellent brethren of the Anglican communion find some of themselves in a serious antagonism with their very devout and zealous Bishop. A portion of the facts are stated in the Anglican Church Chronicle. We cordially wish them a satisfactory issue from their difficulties, both in friendly regard to themselves and that their very needful spiritual force in the city and the land may not be obstructed. At the same time we are not rendered any the less content with our own democratic church polity, under which a difficulty like theirs could not arise. In civil affairs here, autocratic assumptions and arbitrary proceedings have of late come to be at a considerable discount. The same tendency is inevitable in ecclesiastical matters. In all communities where intelligence is increasing and character enlarging, there becomes less and less use for one-man control, either in state or church. Whatever authority may nominally be held by any functionary, the actual exercise thereof must, necessarily be adjusted to this patent fact, that intelligence and character do not fit themselves under arbitrary control. Either the monarch is content to become such only in name, or else he and his office disappear together from the scene. A function that was useful and even indispensable in barbarous social conditions, becomes useless and impracticable with developed christian civilization. Monthly Record of Events. Feb.

In entering upon his duties the editor of this page of The Friend finds himself in a receptive mood, and consequently somewhat uncommunicative. So cular letter will meet with a kindly response. Hawaiian Board, Honolulu, Feb. 14th, 1880. Dear Sir:—The Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association through its Secretary and Treasurer, begs to present the following statement for your earnest consideration as a friend of the work it is engaged in doing among the churches and people of the Hawaiian Islands. We are now entering upon the second quarter-century of our work; we see before us a great opportunity, and are resolved to improve it. The needs of the hour and the strategic importance of the situation constrain us to appeal to you for the means toward a better equipment for this great enter- Rooms of the far he has indulged in but glimpses, and beyond all that he has seen there liest he yet larger, unexplored background.

But the chief and heaviest duty which lies upon us is toward the native Hawaiian. And first of all there stands our Training School for pastors. It is the center of our native work, and should be ever kept, in its appointments and instruction, in advance of the social and literary average of the people for whom it is maintained. And there is always before us, to be found in »ur rural districts, the spectacle of the poorly-housed, under-fed, debt-burdened native pastor, ekeing out his pittance of salary with the labor of his hands; expending in such prolonged work the energies that ought to be given to his pastorate. We ought to have at least $2,000 a .year to spend for the support of the work in feeble Hawaiian churches. Add to this large obligation of the Home field, that of the Foreign, and we have a burden indeed. We have spent for our Micronesian mission $2,679.50 more than has been specifically given to this work, and it is in need of yet further outlay. Its publication fund» stands credited to the amount of $1,387.65. But this does not represent an actual gain, for the books are sold at cost prices, and where there are receipts there have to be disbursements. Our Hawaiian publication fund also stands credited to the amount of $1,1 •Mi.4o. But this sum must be balanced against payments for a large invoice of Hawaiian Bibles and Hymn Books soon to be received. We have collections for foreign missions now on hand amounting to the sum of $357.50, and for work among the Japanese amounting to $335. Add to these sums three recent bequests amounting to $1,025, and we have in our treasury to be expended in our work but $1,717.60. We must soon make our appropriations for the salaries of our foreign missionaries. To put things on a proper footing, so that we can go forward in our work, not only without embarrassment, but with the vigor and advantage which is expected of us, we need at once at least $4,000.

During the year 1513 different men have belonged to the gymnasium. They have a Sunday p.m. meeting for young men which has grown from 35 or 40 to an average of 200. The Y. M. C. A. boys were much pleased at their last meeting with the very instructive talk of Mr. Joseph Emerson on "Hawaiian Life and Antiqui- ties." He had on exhibition a trunk full of interesting curios selected from his large and valuable collections. It was the most largely attended meeting of the year. At the meeting next Thursday, March 7, the subject will be "India," and Mr. Clifford, a gentleman who has recently returned from that country, will give the boys a description of some of the things he saw. We wish to call attention to the topics for the Sunday evening services, printed in another column. This is done that the members and friends may come to the meetings familiar with the subject and thus better prepared to take some part. Please bear this in mind and let a larger number come not only to hear, but to do the will of the Lord. you can about yourself. Ascertain from original sources if you are really the manner of man people say you are; find oot if you are always honest; if you always tell the square, perfect truth in business deals; if your life is as good and upright at eleven o'clock at night as it is at noon ; if you are as sound a temperance man on a fishing expedition as you are on a Sunday-school picnic ; if you are as good a boy when you go to the city as you are at home; if, in short, you really are the sort of a young man your father hopes you are, and your sweetheart'believes you are. Get on intimate terms with yourself, my boy, and, believe me, every time you come out from one of these private interviews you will be a stronger, better, purer man. Don't forget this, and it will do you good.— Selected, The Sin of Mission. Il isn't the thing you do, brother, It's the thing you leave undone. Which gives you a bit of heartache, At the setting of the sun. The tender word forgotten. The letter you did not write, The flower you might have sent, brother, Are your haunting'ghosts to night. The'stone you might have lifted, Out of a brother's way, The bit of heartsome counsel, You are hurried too much to say, The loving touch of the hand, brother. The gentle and winsome tone, That you had n time nor thought for. With troubles enough of your own. These little acts of kindness. So easily out of mind, These chances to be angels. Which even mortals find— They come in night and silence, Each chill, reproachful wraith, When hope is faint and flagging, And a blight has dropped on faith. Kor life is all too short, brother, And sorrow is all too great, To suffer our slow compassion That tarries until too late; And it's not the thing you do, brother. It's the thing you leave undone, Which gives you the bitter heartache, At the setting of the sun. Makc.arf.t E. Sangstkr > Work Every One Can Do. Don't talk louderthan you live. Hypocrites are poor witnesses. The first person to help is yourself; the next one is the nearest and most needy. Help the lost sinner first; the weak Christian will get into heaven, help him afterward. Invite the lost ones to service; do it by a kind word or letter, or any good way. Pray for them in private; speak of the meetings, praise them. Cut and send clippings out of the paper; use your pen; quote apt passages of Scripture. Introduce the unsaved to some one who will better tell them the way to salvation. Go with the inquirer to the altar or inquiry room. Ask them to your homes; talk and pray with them. Help make every meeting you attend a good one. If you cannot sing, move your lips in harmony with the singing. In public service be brief, both in prayer and remarks. Live for Christ in your homes. This is the great need of to-day. Wash dishes, sell calicoes or silks like a Christian. Keep sweet, happy and hopeful. Be a walking sermon. Don't growl with your face. If you are sick, show what grace can do. If you are tried, bear as only a heaven-helped man can. If you are in trouble, let the world see in you the peace of God. Let love to God flow out from all your actions. Lead the children to Christ. Keep away from doubtful things, and thus help a weak brother. Ask God to direct you to work, and He will do it inside of forty-eight hours. Don't quit work until the breath quits the body; then begin service on the other side, in Heaven.—C. H. Yatmaii. — Josh Billings on Infidelity. Impudence, ingratitude, ignorance and cowardice make up the kreed ov infidel- ity. It is a statistikal fakt that the wicked work harder to reach hell than the righteous do to enter heaven. I notiss one thing: When a man gets into a tight spot, he don't never send for his friend, the devil, to help him out. I had rather be an ideot than an infidel ; if I am an infidel, I have made myself one; If an ideot, I waz made so. I never have met a free-thinker yet who did not beleave a hundred times more nonsense than can be found in the Bible ennywhere. The infidel, in his impudence, will ask you to prove the flood did occur, when the poor ideot himself kant even prove, to save his life, what makes one apple sweat and one sour, or whi a hen's egg \z white and a duck's egg blue. Workers' Gems. Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it.—Jeremy Taylor. "The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world next to the might of God." "My business is not to remake myself, but make the absolute best of what God made." Not to enjoy life, but to employ life, ought to be our aim and inspiration.— Get Acquainted with Yourself. Get away from the crowd a little while I shall try to correct errors when Macduff. How shall we dare to behold that holy every day, my boy. Stand to one side shown to be errors, and I shall adopt and let the world run by while you get new views so fast as they appear true face that brought salvation to us, and acquainted with yourself, and see what views. -—A.
