They want free license for actions that

trying to pull down the beautiful fabric
of clean, righteous, and therefore pros-
perous living which Christ is slowly
building up in this world. Those who
stand for the right must always expect
the opposition and enmity oi those who
follow their own lusts, and by means of
them are led captive to do the will of
Satan. In the end, the Redeemer will
prevail: the side of sin is the losing side.
The old prophets represent that class
by whom society is ever being saved
the remnant that' cannot be
—
perverted,
the minority that stands for the truth of
the past and heralds the truth of the
future; that is persecuted in one generation and canonized in the next. They
put truth above its forms, God above the
church, the spirit above the creed. The
prophets were true Protestants. Luther
and Knox were true seed of the old
prophets.
Know the truth, and be able to tell it
forcibly, charitably.

The Discovery of the Sandwich Islands.
We give here that portion of the account of Assistant Surgeon Hllis, describing Cook's first visit to this group.
As stated in our December issue, the
existence of Dr. Ellis' account has
hitherto been unknown to our historians.
January 18, 1778, being in lat. 9V
13' N., and lon. '200 I'C X., we saw land
to the eastward, and soon after descried
more to the north-west, for which we
shaped our course; but night coming on,
we tacked and stood off till morning
(Jan. l'Jth), when we proceeded to trace
the coast in a south-westerly and westerly'
direction. The land at lirst presented
rather a barren appearance, but upon s
closer view it improved upon us, particularly on the western side, which consisted
of a large tract of fine level plains, and
beyond them a double range of hills.
which were covered with trees. Upon
the shore we saw a few clusters of
coconut {sic) trees, but by no means so
abundant as at the Society Isles. As
we drew nearer in-shore. some of the
inhabitants put off in their canoes, and
very readily came alongside. Their
color was more of the copper cast than
that of the natives of Taheitee, and they
wore their hair long, and of different
hues, like the people of the Friendly
Isles. Their dress was nothing more
than a narrow slip of cloth round their
middle, and they were marked or tattowed in different parts of their body.
Their cloth was stamped or printed in
various patterns, not much unlike our
printed linens; their language nearly
resembled that of Taheitee. They were
easily persuaded to come on hoard, and
like all other Indians soon began to
thieve, but nothing of any consequence
was lost.' We saw no weapons among
them, nor did they behave abruptly or
disagreeably, but in their disposition
seemed friendly and good-natured. We
purchased a few pigs and sweet potatoes
of them, for which we gave them a
hatchet or two, and a few small nails,
with which they appeared very well
satisfied. In the evening we stood off,
intending to examine the place more
closely the next day.
In the morning (Jan. 2<lth), at six.
Captain Cook made the signal for the
Discovery's six-oared cutter, which accompanied with the Resolution's pinnace
and large cutter, was sent to look for a safe
place for the ships to anchor, and to try
what soundings-were to be found nearer
in-shore. During their absence we stood
off and on, being fearful of venturing too
near. The natives came off as yesterday, and we bought a few hogs, tarrow,
sweet potatoes, and sugar cane, of all
which they appeared to Ttave plenty, and
excellent of their kind. At three in the
afternoon the boats returned, having
found a tolerable birth, and at four both
vessels came to. Soon after Captain
Cook went on shore in the pinnace, at-
tended by the Discovery's cutter, both the inhabitants came on board as before

letters addressed to the members ot the

the pastors and leaders of the Kumiar

signed by Sidney L. Gulick and Orramel H. Gulick. They are in the nature
of-a very serious questioning of the propriety of certain arrangements which
have been for sometime in progress for
uniting the Presbyterian and Congregational Churches in Japan into one
ecclesiastical organization. Indeed these
letters appear to amount to an earnest

really a merging of the Congregational
Churches into Presbyterian. We are

The Real Extent of the Task of Foreign Xovember
Missions.
When enlightened and trained Churchof a great Christian nation like England or America undertake, in love ot
Christ and of humanity, to impart then
Christianity to an uncivilized pagan nation like Madagascar, or a civilized one
like Japan, they are not unlikely to un
derrate the magnitude and extent of
their task. Hence they may suppose
the Conquest of such nations foj Christ
to be nearly completed, when in fact it
has only been successfully begun good
foundations prosperously laid. In the
inception of Foreign Missions a centun
ago. it was probably not so important
,to see how protracted and extensive
were the labors required as it is now.
A clear perception of their magnitude
might have daunted the courage of the
Churches. As the work goes on. and
experience accumulates, an education
is being gained in the wink of Foreign
Missions by means of the varying experiences of failure and success. Especially
does it become clear, that to secure permanent results of evangelization must
require patient and protracted labors continued far beyond the period of gospel
proclamation and the establishment of
Christian churches. This process may
be a rapid and successful one.
A
"nation may be born in a day." as was
the case in the evangelization of Hawaii, and as very gloriously promises to
be the case in Japan. It is. however,
needful to observe that a new-born child
requires tending and nourishing. Its
birth does not ensure its subsequent survival, much less its healthy and vigorous
survival. To secure a wide acceptance
of the salvation of the Lord Jesus among
the people of a heathen country, and to
save man}- souls of the present generation is indeed a blessed and grand result.
But if the churches so planted fail to become self-propagating, through weakness, ignorance, and the overwhelming
corruption of internal heathenism and
foreign vice; if in following generations
the immature Christianity decays and relapses intocorruption and semi-pagan ism,
the result is certainly far from being the
success that was supposed to exist. It
has the characteristics of an ill-conducted work. It reflects discredit on those
who did not hold out to care for and
bring to maturity what they so well
began.

Letters from Ponape.
Ki-.v. A. O. Forums. Dear Sir:
We hail a fine passage of nineteen and a half days from Honolulu to
Kusaie. At Kusaie we found all in
usual health. Mr. Walkup is evidently.
dissappoiated that no one came to his relief. They will come home with us.
however.
At Ponape all is quiet. The Govern
or continues his kindness to the missionaries; at the same time it is hard to get
him to hack up their efforts to keep the
people in line morally. Mr. Ooane took
a trip with me to Ruk and back. He is
well. Mr. Rand's health is very poor.
I think he will come up this trip to go
home, and Miss Fletcher, too. It is my
opinion that Miss Palmer should follow
suit. That will leave only Dr. Ingersoll
and Mr. Ooane to hold the fort at Ponape.
At Ruk,'where we arrived August 14,
we found Mr. Treiber down with a fever
similar to Mr. Logan's. We could only
talk with him a little while at a time.
Mrs. Treiber and the baby boy are well.
He is now convalescent, and will no
doubt soon be out again. Mr. Worth is
well, but no doubt a trip to a colder climate would give him new life. They
were glad of the boat, but somewhat disappointed not to see the schooner which
they confidently expected.
We left Mr. Snelling in the Logan
house, in the midst- of furniture, boxes
and bundles. I prophesy a lonesome
time for him this year. I hope to be
able to write again from Jaluit.
August 2;i. —We leave here to-day lor
Kusaie and the eastern islands.
Yours truly,

Ri:v. C. M. Hydk. Dear Brother:
The work here was never in a more
prosperous condition than at the present
time. We have as many boarding pupils in Training school as we can take
care of—forty. Seven of the forty are in
the preparatory department. There are
twelve couples and sixteen boys and single men. There are two classes of preachers. Ten ane in the first class, six Ponapeans, two from Pingelap, and two
from Mortlock and Ruk. The last four
will go west at the end of the year. The
rest will be located on Ponape, some of
them to return to school after teaching
and preaching a year or more. One from
Pingelap will spend about half the coming year teaching the rest in school. All
but three in this class have preached
some. FourofthemgoouteverySabbath;
others occasionally. Two of the four

are preaching at places where the church
has been established for years. The
other two laid their own foundations,
going to places where there had never
beet) an}' preaching or school, and no
Christians at either place. At the first
place, Mant Perti the work was begun
three years ago. The Lord has blessed
the work here. This is only a small village, but they have built a good church
and teacher's house. Twelve were baptized in June. They have had three
terms of school, eight weeks each. One
couple from there a.re in the training
school. At Mant PerUk, a larger village
close by, there has been a grand work
accomplished by one of the pupils. Mr.
Logan, Mr. Donne and myself have tried
time and again to put a teacher there,
hut were prevented by the head man of
the 'place, who is third in rank in his
tribe. For years many of the young men
have been urging him to lei them have
a teacher; hut he persistently refused
iintil he found out that his people were
have waked up. One of them has been
to Uana the residence of the Kiti King
to look out a location, expecting to build
a house and commence work in that
tribe sqon. Mr. Doane seems apprehensive of a general effort to station priests
throughout the Caroline group, also that
the German Government will break up
the Marshall Is. work. I incline- to
more hopeful views. I admit that the
priests may be able to draw some of our
church members into their fold for a
time, but such as will he small loss to
the church.
You will hear from others of Mrs.
Walkup's decease. He will take the
children home. You may see me on the
Star this year.

the teaching at Mant Perti. Fearing
they would soon get beyond his control,
he yielded, and permitted them to have
a teacher.
William went there in April, preaching in an old feast house. After preaching there three or four Sabbaths, the old
chief ordered that no more work be done
on the Sabbath. The next week some
of them came over saying they had the
timbers ready for a church, and wanted
me to go and select the location for it.
In less than two weeks after the site
was selected, they were worshipping in
a neat, substantial church about eighteen
by twenty-five. They have also built a
long stone pier or wharf, also a house
for their teacher, stone roads, etc. On
July sth, one of the pupils from the
Training School began school there and
taught eight weeks. The agreement
was that they were to board him and his
wife and give them a dollar a week. At
theend of the seventh week they had given
him nine dollars in cash and cocoanuts.
This is the first school that has come up
to what we. required of them in regard
to self support without a great deal of
urging. A few weeks ago some of them
came to me to find out how much a bell
for their church would cost. I told
them that thirty dollars would get one
as large as they would need. Last Saturday they brought the first instalment
of eleven dollars. The fourth week of
school they concluded that their church
was too small and made it twelve feet
longer.
Thus far this year seven'or eight of
the pupils have taright in the station
schools eighty-five or a hundred weeks,
teaching two months and attending
school two months.
Since the settlement of the difficulty
between the natives and Spanish all has
been quiet. The priest have seemed to
confine their teaching to the inside of
the stockade, till this week they seem to
almost every communion some join the
church. We thank the Lord for these
favors.
The Spanish are quiet so far as we
are concerned —we teach, preach, move
about "at our own sweet wills." But
recently the priests, who have been sort
of incubating for a whole year, now bestir themselves—are starting out to occupy some places, our places we may say,
for all the main points of the island are
occupied by us. * * * This will of
course divide our people. The priests
here are free wine bibbers, and- smoke.
Ah, say some of our ava drinkers, that
is.the religion for me.
As the Star goes up this year, Miss
Fletcher feels quite sure now of going.
She should by all means. Mr. Rand
also expected to go. The Star will take
up the news of the death of Sister Walkup, at Kusaie, in July, I think. I trust
we shall hear no bad news from the
Marshall Islands. The Germans do not
like our work at all. * * *

The Y. Mi C. A. Hoys were happily
entertained last mouth by Mr. F. W.
Damon, who gave them a very instructive talk on Palestine. The use of numerous diagrams and maps added greatly
to the interest and practical value of the
talk. Mr. Damon spoke with the enthusiasm and clearness of an eye witness,
and showed Several souvenirs which he
gathered during his visit in that memorable land. The countries under consideration next Thursday afternoon, will
he Norway and Sweden. Mr. C. M
Cooke will give the hoys the result of
his personal observations made a few
months since.
The temperance meetings for men
have been continued in Brewer's lilock,
but the attend.vice at the last two was
not very inspiring. Certainly the cause
of temperance has not so far triumphed
in this city that its friends-can afford to
retire from the field. We need scores
of men who, like Paul of old, are able
and read}- to "reason of temperance" as
well as "righteousness," and who will
remind the drunkard and the drunkardmaker that there is a "judgment to
come.
Mr. P. C. Jones Jias organized two
new classes in Book-keeping. They
meet at 6:30 and 7:la every Monday
evening.
We are pleased to see that the Sunday evening gospel meeting has been
more largely attended during the last
mouth. There are many more young
men who ought to find it a glad privilege to be present and honor their Say
lour by some willing service.
The Committee who have the Blue
Ribbon Entertainments in charge eon
tinue to meet with a willing response
from the kind friends who have so frequently assisted on the programme.
We hope to continue these gatherings
as a public protest against intoxicating
drink and as an educating medium in
favor of total abstinence.

�THE FRIEND
Our New Year's Day is signalized by
total eclipse of the sun, best visible a
little north of San Francisco. Many observing parties were to gather in that
vicinity. The progress of photography,
especially in instantaneous work, immensely facilitates improved observations. A leading object of study is the
sun's Corona, the problem of whose
nature is yet unsolved. A probable
hypothesis is that it is composed of the
blended tails of innumerable cometic or
meteoric bodies in close attend.ok c upon
the sun. A successful method "f photo
graphing tin. Corona at all tunes which
was invented by Dr. Huggins, was
speedily foiled by the .introduction ot
Krakatoa dust into the atmosphere producing the powerful atmospheric corona
known as Bishop's Ring. It is doubtful
whether this has yd entirely disappeared.
Dr. Huggins' method does not appear to
to.have been resumed, and the study of
the solar corona still depends on the rare
occurrence of total eclipses. Another
and very important matter of observation
•in all Solar eclipses are the moments ol
contact, which furnish very precise data
for the correction of tables of lunar
a
motion.
Great Volcanic Activity at Kilauea.
A powerful outpour of lava over the
main floor of the Caldera, took place
during the middle of December,continuing for several days. Hon. H. M.Whit

the time, and has furnished the Gazettt

lava last yeai when visited h\ Professor
Dm i. The most prominent point ol
activity at that time was Dana Lake, a
;. uid of liquid lava situated in the
west side of the area of Haleani.iumau,
between the debris cone and the wall of
the pit, then one hundred and lilt}- feet
deep. During the sixteen months since
then the sunken area of 11 .ileumairman
half S mile in diameter has been gradu
ally Idling up, partly no doubt by uplifting
from oelow, ;ts during the previous year,
but very largely by the overflow of lava
from the many openings around the cell
tral cone of debris. Dana Lake has been
a chief contributor to filling up Hale
amaumau. All the western part of the
pit is now built up even with the main
floor of Kilauea. and Dana Lake itself
is above that level, having a raised edge
sloping outwards, crater fashion. This
little crater has now overflowed, pouring
forth a great stream upwards of a mile
Most of this stream
was aa or clinker lava, very rare in Kilauea. The srght was of course a very grand
one. Kilauea may be considered now
tOhave leg.lined its full average standard
of vigorous display and copious outpour.
This was materially diminished for two
years sub tequent to the collapse ol 1886.
The present activity will probably continue for several years before another
outbreak occurs below, drawing off the
upper lires. The hotel at the volcano is
well kept and affords great comfort to
touiists. it is itself an attractive place,
aside Irom the absorbing interest of the
gigantic lire fountains.
The latest word reports Haleamaumau entirely full and overflowing in all
directions. The former great "New

Sunday, the converted Indian
chief of Upper Canada, addressing a
missionary meeting, in his appeal to the
benevolence of the people previous to
the collection, said: "There is a gentleman. I suppose, now in this house; he
is a very line gentleman, but he is very
modest.' He does not like to show himself. I do not know how long it is since
I saw him, he comes out so little. I am
very much afraid he sleeps a great deal
of his time, when he ought to be going
about doing good. His name is Mr.
Ciold. Mr. (iold, are you here to-night?
01 are you sleeping in your iron chest?
Come out, Mr. Gold, come out, and
help us to do this great work, to send
the Gospel to every creature. Ah, Mr.
Ciold, you ought to he ashamed of yourself, to sleep so much in your iron chest!
Look at your white brother. Mr. Silver;
he does a great deal ol g rod m the
world, while you are steeping. Come
out Mr. (iold! Look, too. at your brown
brother, Mr. Copper; he is everywhere!

good lie can. Wiiy don't you come out.
Mr. Gold? Well, if you won't come
out and give up yourself, send us your

I met only the other day a man whom
I once knew as a common drunkard.
The face then was brutal in the extreme.
Hut to-day it is a tender lace. The eyes
look fearlessly and kindly on the world.
I'iic voice is softened, and there are lines
of sweetness all through the face. He
has lived in the closest communion Willi
the Lord that redeemed him. and he is
actually transfigured. The soul that
one smouldered there was a beastly
soul. The life that is manifest now has
been kindled by the Spirit of God. It is
the Christ life; and every man can see
it. 1., lamp/nan.
Right in the middle of the path of
duty no power of earth or hell can really
harm you ; but beware how you take to
the bushes along that path!
When growth ceases, decay begins.
He is worth no weal that can bide no
woe.
Braun without brain never won a
victory.
Trifles make perfection, but perfection
is no trifle.
As well to create good precedents, as
to follow them.
He who believes is strong; he who
doubts is weak.
Turn from the irreparable past to the
available future.
Religion is not a dogma, nor an emotion, but a service.
The hiding places of man are dis-
covered by affliction,
Satan
We
always
rocks the Cradle when
sleep at our devotions.
The sublimity of the mountain is not
in the mountain, but in us.
A note pitched too high is equally
silent with one pitched too low.
Behavior is continually revealing us;
what a man does tells what he is.
The best place to prepare for the
duties of life is that of Mary—at Jesus'
feet.
Any fool can ask questions; but it
takes a wise man not to try to answer
them.
God creates, governs, judges, punishes, pities, redeems, and saves; but
love is the root of all.
Life is not victory, but battle. Kvery
battle declined, as well as every battle
drawn, is a battle lost.
God is a shower to the heart burned
up with anguish. God is a sun to the
face deluged with tears.
No man has a prosperity so lfigh or so
linn hut that two or three words can
dishearten it. Emerson,
Ten thousand great faults in my
neighbors are ol less consequence to me
than one small fault in myself.
He that leans upon bis comforts will
find them a re. il; he that leans upon
(iod will find Him to be a Rock.
(iod loves righteousness and hates
sin; the devil loves sin ,m.\ hates righteousness. That is the difference.
The devil is well satisfied with a
Christian who will do things in New
York that he would not do at home.
A child of God should be a visible
beatitude for joy and happiness, and a
living doxology for gratitude and adoration.
Think of the day, the humbling,
affecting, overwhelming day, when the
cup of cold water will reappear as an ingredient in the everlasting glory.
The man who would shudder at the
idea of a rough word of the description
commonly called swearing will not even
have a twinge of conscience after a
whole morning of ill-tempered sullenness, capricious scolding, villainously
unfair animadversion, or surly, crossgrained treatment generally of wife and
children.

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

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

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^

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.

�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.

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-

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.
In behalf of the Hawaiian Board,
Oliver P. Emerson,
Corresponding Secretary.

Notes.
The next International Si- etaries'
Conference will be held at O nge, N.
V., May 2-5, and the International Convention will convene at Philadelphia,
May 8-12.
The Boston Y. M. C. A. reports for
last year a membership of 4830. 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.

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.

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-

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

"The serene, silent beauty of a holy

Our View Approved.
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.

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

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.

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

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-

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-

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.
The Japanese Mission.
Rev. K. Miyama is indefatigable in
his labors for the good of his countrymen. 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.

One hinderance to the progress
anticipated by some. 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

larger number of names have been added

on the Secretary during the intervening
days and signed the pledge; showing

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.

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.

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

bring to it. You may have a crumb, or
a loaf, or a granary full to bursting, just
as you choose.—Dr. Behrcnds.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

The Naval Disaster at Samoa.
At the time of our last issue, this
community was waiting with some
solicitude for news from Samoa. A report coming by way of Germany, had
gained some currency in the States,
that the Nipsic had been sunk by the
Olga in the harbor of Apia. 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,

concerned, which cannot fail to be
seriously and we trust most favorably
affected by this disastrous event. 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.

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

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. Myself and
a trusted friend are in the habit of

truth of God's word in our mouths, we

it) which have been consecrated
to the gods of the old time. 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

gods, and ninety who do worship them.

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. It is
quite certain that the native pastors as

not unfrequently been reported to us, of
certain Hawaiian pastors permitting the

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.

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".

us had ever seen admitted to full church
privileges. 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

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

THE FRIEND.
-
Editor.
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.

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

ed to meet Thursday evening, April
25th, for the anniversary exercises.
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. Townsend, both of
which were finely rendered and well received by the audience.

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.

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.
Respectfully submitted,
A. F. Judd, Chairman.

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

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.

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?"

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,

Mr. Thomas A. Thrum.
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.

with other friends is doing a good work.
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

Hymn Books in the Hawaiian Language. lished in the Alaula (Dayspring), the
The first hymn book in the Hawaiian
language was'printed in 1-<■_>-'*. 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

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.

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

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,

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.

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

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.

erything he could lay his hands on. One
of his hallucinations is that he has been
bittten by a mad dog, and in his more
violent paroxysms he yelps and froths
at.the mouth as if suffering from hydrophobia. The several physicians who
have seen the boy unite in pronouncing it a case of acute mania, brought
on by the excessive use of cigarettes,
and doubt if he will ever be of s.ound
mind again.''— Troy Daily Times.
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. Acts 17:30-33. 2 Cor. 6:2.
June 30—The threeGreat Temptations
to every young'man. 1 John 2:15-17.
Rev. Horatius lletnar, 11.11.
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.
See that your relish, for the Bible be

origin of the Scriptures, and the evidences, aside from inspiration, ofthe divinity of Jesus, were called for and given.
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

wonderful services of the latter, which
we should have preferred to let alone.
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

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

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. Enough has been said for our
purpose in vindicating our Hawaiian
civilization from the disgraceful inhumanity imputed to it.

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

Turkish Empire, and again upon that in

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-

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.

The closing exercises of this institution were held on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 4th, in the fine large

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.

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,

Anniversary Week.
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.

Monthly Meeting.
"The Watchman."
The Young Men's Christian Associations of the world have but one official
international organ, and that is The Y.
M. C. A. Watchman, which was formerly a semi-monthly paper edited and published by W. W. Vanorsdale of Chicago.
Since the begining of 1889, the paper
has been published weekly with Mr. S.
A, Taggart, former State Secretary of
Perm., as editor. The paper has several subscribers in this city and should
have more. To any one interested in
Y. M. C. A. work, or Christian work of
any kind, the information, helpful suggestions and Bible Readings contained
in this paper are worth many times the
price of the subscription, which for this
year is only $1.50 if taken in clubs,
Secretary Fuller will be glad to take the
name of any new subscriber.
On account of important exercises the
same evening elsewhere the business
meeting of the Y. M. C. A. last month
was held half an hour earlier than usual.
Thia was preceded by a meeting of the

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

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.—

By Rev. S. E. Bishop.
"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,

example by the organization of a Pastor's
aid society, through which contributions
to this good work have been very wisely
and effectively distributed, The churches are encouraged to raise their pastors'
salaries by promises of subsidies in
doing so, and hearty efforts in the
chinches have been elicited in this way.
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.

laboriously striving to gather a very

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

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

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?

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

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

�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

have interrupted the former relations of
cordiality between foreigners and natives.
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.

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

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

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

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

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

in Sir Charles Dilke's article in the Fortnightly Review on the present position

fact that he was understood to be working to reestablish their supremacy in the

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.

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

open-gate and soon marched out with
their prisoners for the Station house.

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.
Do the duty that comes first; you
know not what rich experiences it may
blossom into.
Would you win success in life ? Always do your very best. God and time
will do the rest.
Personals.
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. Forbes, who sailed with his
wife by the Morning Star on the Ist, to
reinforce the Ponape Mission, is a brother
of Mr. H. (). Forbes, a well-known
naturalist, who was in Batavia during
the Krakatau eruption, and who is the
author of "Wanderings of a Naturalist
in the Eastern Archipelago." 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.

The Call which Comes from Kona.

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.

Vacation.
Many of our members are away from
the city for rest and change; some have
gone to the States; but more to some of
the other islands. The General Secretary will take his vacation during the
month of August in company with Dr.
Whitney and family on Kauai. During
his absence Mr. Silva the janitor will
look after matters connected with the
building; Mr. W. A. Bowen will have
charge of the Gospel meetings for the
Devotional Committee, and Mr. C. L.
Carter will edit the Y. M. C. A. page of
the September Friend. We would like
those still in the city, to drop in to the
rooms as often as convenient during
day or evening; it will help to cheer and
keep things home like.
A Pleasant Closing.
The class in English Literature so
kindly taught by Mrs. S. B. Dole for the
last three months in our parlor closed
on Thursday evening July 25th.
Mrs. Dole invited the class to meet in
her own home for the closing session.
After the exercises of the evening some
delicious ice cream and cake were passed and a very pleasant social season
was enjoyed, in which the General
Secretary participated by special invitation of the hostess.
Topics.
The Gospel Praise Service will be
held in the V.M.C.A. Hall every Sunday
evening at 6:30. A particular invitation
is extended to strangers and all young
men.
The topics for this month will be as
follows:

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.

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.

Our Damien Article.
Our article on Father Damien in our
July issue gave general satisfaction to all
parties here. 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.

cannot recognize the numerous exam-

Narrative of a Visit to Brazil, Chile, Peru
and the Sandwich Islands, during the
Years 1821 and 1882, by Gilbert Farquhar
Mathison, Esq. London, 1825.
CHAPTER XIII.
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

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,

The fourth and last Queen was next it ci nnot be expected that any beneficial

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.

He showed me his farm-yard, and

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

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.

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.

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.

Mrs. W. W. Hall hastily embarked

to reach her son Horace, who had been
dangerously ill at Minneapolis with
pneumonia. At last accounts, he was
better, and will probably return with
Mrs. Hal! to Honolulu.

grow n up, was in turn coupled with a
healthy partner. 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

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

that he bore testimony to that Fathers

the Agnostic refuses to know anything,

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

-
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

Muscular Christianity and Unchristian
Muscularity.
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

"I Will Wash."
From a discourse preached by Rev.
E. G. Beckwith, 1). I)., in Central
Union Church. August 23d
In Mr. Gladstone's icview of Knland's
recent progress, it is asserted that for
one child born to conditions of crime
to-day there were ten, and perhaps
twenty, lift) years back; slavery has
been abolished: poor law abuses swept
away: a disgraceful criminal code reformed: mine and factory scandals
greatly reduced; good schools have
been placed within reach of the entire
people; savings banks brought to the
doors ol'tin poor; information has been
diffused; grievous inequalities in taxation removed; the condition of the
working population improved fifty per
cent.: vast and various injustice tv nonconl'oi ousts swept from the statute-book;
shameful disabilities in regard to women
obliterated; many unrighteous privileges
of few made the right of all; the interests
of 250,000,000 of Hindus more fullyregarded; frightful injustice to Ireland
diminished, though not yet removed:
crime, brutal amusements greatly reduced, and the efficiency of christian
and other benevolent work greatly augmented; so that the Englishman most
competent to judge is of the opinion
that men who have lived sixty years and
are living now "have lived into a gentler
time: that the public conscience has
grown more tender, as indeed was very
needful: and that in matters of practice,
at sight of evils formerly regarded with
indifference or even connivance, it now
not only winces but rebels, that upon
the whole the race has been reaping,
not scattering; earning and not wasting.
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.

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

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

into which they will have come, and the
perpetual peace we shall have in all our
borders, we shall understand right well

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

Idolatry Among Hawaiians.
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

ponder and take to heart. 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.

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.

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 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

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

Horace Van Cleve Hall.
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

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.

It is expected to have the building completed in four months. About one

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

held on the Sabbath day, both morning
and evening, between the two congregations (the English and the native), at

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

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

fourth day of the session of the Association was the Puna Sabbath School

and adults, and which had come (some
of them forty miles) over a fearful rough

A Magnificent Gift.
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.

An Association Building to cost
$226,004 is now being erected in Berlin.
The Oakland (Cal.) Young Men's
Christian Association laid the cornerstone of their new building on the afternoon of August 31st. 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. This disaster follows very close
upon the fire which made the Association at Seattle, W. T.. homeless and
the fiood which devasled Ji Imstown.

Mr. T. K. Cree, Secretary of the Inter

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

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.

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.

The Oahu Railroad track is now laid

of three miles, ami excursion trains have
already been out. Traffic to Moanalua
is expected to commence in a few days.
The rails and sleepers are of the heaviest sort, and solidly laid. Five substantial third clas:; cars are on the line.
Two second-class cars of superior qual

The Volcano Road from Hilo is mak

Olaa, whence to the crater is an easy
ride, and presents few obstacles to good
road-making. i'he heaviest part of the
work is now done, and the trip to Kilauea will soon be a trifling matter.
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.
Kona is too stony for ploughing, hence
unsuited to sugar plantations, unless the
great richness of the soil shall be found
to justify the expense of hand-culture.

The only way to Bee away from God

God stops his ears against their prayers who stop their ears against his laws.
In creation God shows us his hand,

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

Habits are to the soul what the veins

in which it moves.
The earnestness and accuracy of our
blows is all important; it matters not
how far fly the echoes.

Many indeed think of being happy
