time the next day. The Governor sent
for her and questioned her about going to
Ova to celebrate the fourth. I did not
even know it was the fourth until some
one spoke of it in the evening.
About the twentieth of July she came
back again and remained until the twentyfourth, when we all had orders to go to
the Governor's to give testimony in regard
to the outbreak. We started very early in
the morning and came home late in the
evening. It was a very dismal, rainy day.
We were at the Governor's from about
ten in the morning until four in the afternoon. Mr. Bowker, Mrs. Cole, Nanpei
and I were questioned separately. There
was not time for the two chitfs Uajai and
Josiah, who went with us, to have their
deposition taken. It was a very hard day.
Mrs. Cole and Willie and two of the girls
remained at Joninting. I thought best to
take the othir girls home as things are
likely to be quiet until forces can arrive
from Manila. Over thirty of the guns
which were taken by the natives have been
returned now, as well as the boat which
they took the morning that the Manila
got off the rocks. Sometimes I hope that
things can be arranged without any more
fighting, but I fear they cannot. The
natives will never give up the ringleaders,
and, of course, the Spanish authorities
will not make peace unless they are given
up.

many of our things around to Kiti; nearly
every thing in fact that we could spare
and some that we find we cannot spare
very well. Mrs. Cole came home last
week and is planning to go around to Kiti
with some of the smallest girls this week.
Nanpei is going to let us live in his newhouse. He is having a native house built for
a school-room and dining room for thegirls.
I think that we can be very comfortable
there as it is a foreign house, although it
has no partitions yet and no upper floor.
He has not been able to get the boards
from Honolulu yet. I suppose we may
look for the vessel from Manila about the
last of the month or the first of next, and
we intend either to go before they come
or to be ready to leave as soon as we hear
that they have arrivid. It does not seem
right to leave the houses and other mission
property until we must, and besides we
have not liked to k:ave the people as long
as there was even a slight hope that we
could do anything towards restoring peace.
It seems hopeless now, however, unless
the Star should come. Perhaps they
might listen to Mr. Rand. * * *
The Japalap and Kinakap people and
those from this place who wish to fight
are busy with fortifications at the shore.
On the whole the outlook is very discouraging. Some of those who are most
anxious that peace be made now may find
the influence of clan and family too strong

The Close of the Ice Age Recent.
CHICAGO, January 14, 1891.
Publisher ok The Friend:
Dear Sir: —Will you kindly receive a
postal order for ten dollars, and therewith
sustain my subscription to your interesting
paper. It contains about all of interest
regarding the Islands that a busy man car

HENRY M. Lyman,
?oo Ashland Boulevard.
When Agsssiz first established the fact
some thirty years ago that a large part of
Europe had been once covered with
glaciers, as Greenland is now, it came to
be believed th..t this Ice Age closed not
less than 50,000 years ago. Subsequent
study, especially 1 f the tokens of the Ice
Age in North America, seem thoroughly
to prove that the close of the Ire Age
could not have been more than 7,100
years ago, and probably much less.
This conclusion is based upon a careful
calculation of the rate of recession of
Niagara Falls, since its present channel
was formed at the recession of the Ice.
Also from the similar process at the Falls
of the Mississipi. A similar conclusion is
also drawn from the extreme freshness of
some specimens of wood imbedded in
moraines of that period. Animal remains,
such as the Newburgh mastodon, give the
same indication.
Since the melting of the glacier ice
must have enormously increased the
volume of the Niagara and Mississipi
rivers while it laste and so have immensely increased their erosive power for
the time, it seems not unreasonable to deduct something from the 7,000 years supposed to he required at present rates of
erosion to produce the existing state of

and finding himself confronted with a

bewilderment, 'More baby!' So it will often be with the mother 'Baby' is a soluble
problem, but 'mule baby' introduces a
complication. Sonic of our pet theories
will inevitably be smashed before the
twins are through with them."
Mr. E.D. Preston of the U. S. Coast

A Dry Winter. December rains were
only up to the average of the year. The
greater part of January was exceptionally
dry. Yet tluse are usually our rainiest
months. It was much the same a year
ago, followed by heavy rains in February
and March. The above relates only to
the Honolulu district. The rainfall has
been copious on the windward sides of
the group. Last year our mango trees
did not blossom until April, three months
later than the csual time, owing to the
winter drought, and have been flowering
and fruiting at ( dd times ever since.

Some of these si fferers have no skill at
work and no diligence. A majority are
degraded by vice and drunkenness. To
all of them the doors of remunerative
labi r are dosed. It is evident that if all
these people were to work with average
skill, and faithfully, six or eight hours a
day, their labor would amply supply the
whole crowd with food, clothing, shelter,
fuel, and most of the cheaper luxuries.
They could raise the food and raw mate
rials, mine the coal, manufacture the cloth,
leather, clothing and shots, and all be
comfortable and happy. They would all
become producers and consumers.
Now the problem is to set them at
work. Involuntary servitude to a set of
powerful and bentvolent masters would
do it. But slavery is out of the question.

Will be an enormous triumph of Gospel

THE FRIEND.
-
Editor,
Consul Rand for Ponape is here, awaiting an opportunity to reach his post, Ikis a gentleman of about thirly-fiye or
forty. We hope he may soon reach his
destination, and be able to render immediate protection to the rights of American
citizens there.
We learn with regret of the decease of
Rev. D. R. Mahoe, pastor of Kolua
Church, former missionary to the Cilbcrt
Islands and delegate of the Hawaiian
Roard on the last voyage of the Morning
Star. He was wantonly shot by one of the
Tarawa savages, recovering with the loss
of the use of his right arm. In our next
issue, we expect to print an obituary notice
from the pen of Mrs. Ringh tin.
Dedication of a Japanese Chapel.
On the second Sunday in January the
Chapel, which had been built on the Ews
Plantation, near the Japanese quarters, lor
the use of the Japanese laborers, was
formally'dedicated with appropriate services. In the morning sonic ninety Japanese gathered, and, after a short sermon
by Rev. A. H. Fisher, interpreted by the
Japanese preacher, Rev. M. X buragi,
nine Japanese were baptized. In the after
noon the Chapel was filled to overflowing,
several of the white men employed on the
plantation coming with wives ami babies
to attend the first public religious service
held on the plantation. Rev. Dr. Hyde
preached, the dedication sermon from
Heb io:iti-22. Rev. Mr. Fisher read
the formula of dedication from the
Methodist Rook of Discipline.
The
chapel is a neat, small building, not far
from the manager's residence. In the
rear of the audience room are two private
rooms, one fo.' the Japanese inspector and
one for the preacher. Oilier plantations
are planning to put up similar buildings.
A Circular.
Honolulu, January 20, 1891.
Dear Sir :—
The Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association, through its Secretary and
Treasurer invites your consideration of
the following facts regarding its work
The past year has been one of large
outlays. These outlays were demanded
by the necessities of the day and were
warranted by a full treasury. It was felt
that the time had come for pressing the
work. Old foundations needed strengthening and new ones were required to be
laid. There was a call for enlargement—
we enlarged our field. And now that it
has grown to such proportion more funds
are needed for the tilling.
:
:
The enlargement has been as follows
In the line of the Japanese work, the
Hawaiian Board has a mission established
on Hawaii with Hilo as its center. This
mission has two workmen and should
have four for the proper evangelization of
the 0000 or more Japanese laborers on
the plantations ol that island. What not
long since was but a preaching station in
HIIO, has become an organized mission
with its church-home and outlying places
of meeting and with its lines of benevolent
work.
The Portuguese mission, for which we
have prayed and planned for so long a
time, is at last an achieved fact with
•chapel, school room, parsonage and teachers. This mission has two centers, one
in this city and another in Hilo. It also
employs a colporter.
The Chinese evangelistic work has not
been enlarged as was proposed, because
we have tailed to secure the new men to
put into the field The Chinese Mission
School lias been reorganized and the
rooms refitted at considerable expense.
The full corps of teachers also necessitates
an increased outlay for salaries. The im[i irtance of this enterprise males it a
costly one.
In the line of distinctively Hawaiian
work the Board lias accepted the charge
i the recently reopened Kohala Seminary. The school has been rebuilt and
supplied with a corps of four teachers.
It is now well equipped and prosperous
with a full altenl nice of fifty pupils.
Phe Hawaiian Hoard has also taken the
responsibility of supporting a Hawaiian in
Oberlin who is preparing himself for the
native ministry. It was in the line of
set unng a bttttr trained ministry that the
new X. I'. M. Institute building was
erected, for which nearly $10,000 were
generously contributed. Certain special
1utlays were also nude in the way of
furnishing Hawaiians with a better devotional literature.
We feel that these lines of hopeful,
dv. ncing effort will approve themselves
to your judgment and will now invite your
renewed and generous support on a larger
scale.
The following is a statement of the
estimated expi nditures of this year (189.1,)

work abreast of its present position

REMARKS ON
THE AMOVE ESTIMATE.
i. It is the lowest possible figure of
actual requirements for present work: and
does not take account of contingencies,
or of any enlargement. The required
balance in round figures is $7,000, but in
view of the growing necessities of the field
we ask $3,000 more, and place our total
request at $10,000

would be glad to have all monies contributed put to the account of the General
Fund; that is, given into the treasury of
the Roard without specification as to use.
Donations so received can be applied by
vote of the Roard to any branch of the
work, and so long as there is a blance to
the credit of the General Fund no department of the broad work need languish.
3. Since the offerings of the Churches
are often late in coming in we ask the
grace of an early remembrance on the
part of our individual patrons.

Mr. English spent two years in the terri

rather unique, but not calculated to multiply applicants for the same or any similar
position requiring residence in the territory.

Get Rid of Star-Gazing.
By
the Rev.JohnM'NeilL,ondon.
Now, lads, get rid of your dreaming
and star gating; get rid of the idea that
life is an oyster, antl that you are going to
open it, and eat. I would rather you took
Solomon's notion, who survryed life from
the elevation of a king'y seat, and yet was
honest enough to say and fori, "I am to
be a busy man." If you mean to be an
idler, a trifler, ihUtlets and h/y, go and
ask the gravedigger to lay you comfortably under the clod. You have landed on
the wrong planet. The world somehow
or other is going to Row upon us. I wish
you would understand that for most of us
the world will give us more kicks thaiha'pence. You may live for eighty years,
my dear young fellows, but you will hay
a hard toil of life. Am I saying that you
have mean ability? No, but with the best
ability you will not necessarily get on.
Now, will you settle yourself for the
work? Life means business, toil, trouble,
sweat of body, and brain. Brace yourself
for it; gird yourself for it. He sure that is
what is coming. You say, "That is hard."
It is not hard; it is good for you; it will
take the softness out of you. You are
going to resign your situation because you
only get fifteen shillings a week, and what
is th.it to your gorgeous capabilities? You
are going to strike, and bring down the
company! You will soon understand that
the co npany will get on without you. 1

to drive away the glamor and the moon
shine that you are mistaking for sunshine.
Moonshine is a kind of shining, but the
worst of it is, it is romantic, the lights and
shadows are unreal, and when you come
along the place when it is daylight, you
say, "It is not nearly so beautiful as by
moonlight." Now, 1 am tryirg to show
you facts, and successful men in this
mighty tit)- will tell yon life means U it, life
means trouble, life means anxiety, life
means a heavy battle, a heavy burden; it
does not mean rolling and lolling al>. ut
and having great fortunes dropping into
your gapeing mouth. No; it means what
it meant for Solomon long ago.
Workingmen
and Drink.
In the city of New York alone, says a
writer in The Medical Summary, it is estimated that not less than $.150,000 a d y
are spent for drink; $1,500,000 in one
week; $75,000,000 in one ye. r. Who will
dispute it, when I say that one half of the
policemen of New York City are employed
to watch the beings who squander $75,-000,000 a year? Who will dispute it, when
I say that the money spent in paying the
salaries and expenses of one hall the police
of New York could be saved to the taxpayers if $75,000,000 were not eh voted to
making drunkards, thieves, prostitutes, and
other subjects for the policemen's nets to
gather in? If $250,000 go over the counters of the rum sellers in one day in New
York City alone, who will due to assert
that workingmen do not pay one-fifth, or
$50,000 of that stun ? If workingmen in
Ni w York City spend $50,000 a day for
drink, they spend $300,000 a week, leaving Sunday out. In four weeks they
spend $1,200,000, over twice as much
money as was paid into the General As
aernbly of the Knights of Labor in nine
years. In six weeks tiny spend $1,800,-000, nearly three times as much money as
that army of organized workers, the
Knights of Labor, have spent fr. m the
day the General Assembly was first called
to order, up to the present day;and in one
year the workingmen of New York City

$15,600,000, or enough to purchase and

The Future of Our Sugar Industry.
An essay of some length was read by
Mr. Walter Frear before the Social Science
Association of this city, and by special request, was published in the P. C. Advertiser. It is mainly devoted to a discussion of the effect of the McKinley Tariff
upon our Sugar industry. The discussion
seems careful and thorough. We can only
state very briefly the writer's conclusions.
He thinks the bounty to American sugars
unconstitutional, and not likely to be long
continued. He also doubts the constitutionality of the retaliatory provision, empowering the President to reimpose duties
in certain cases, Congress probably having no right so to delegate their own
powers.

we now share, it will be somewhat less
then our present gain from Protection.
The coming cheapness of sugar in the
United States will vastly increase consumption, and somewhat increase the
price for producers. In 1886 the Americans consumed but 54 pounds per capita,
while the British getting sugar two cents
cheaper, consumed 74 pounds per capita.
Thus, with cheapei sugar and rapid increase of population, American consumption is likely to outstrip production.
Probably 750,000 tons would be added to
the consumption in the States during the
tanning decade. The production of beet
sugar in Europe is likely to lose the immense stimulus hitherto given to it by
bounties on exported sugar, while European home consumption will increase by
a lowering of the excise All this is in
favor of prices to product rs generally.
But these islands will n"W have to compete on equal terms with producers of
sugar in Brazil, West Indies and elsewhere.
On the whole, we are to expect a heavy
reduction of prices and of profits, but not
equal to (he removal of duties. On the
other hand, we shall be more certain of
what we are to receive. Improvements
will continue to be made in process's of
cultivation and manufacture, as well as in
facilities of transportation. With our
opening railroad age, the coming cable,
new lines of steamers, and the Nicaragua
Canal, Mr. Frear thinks our outlook by
no means a dismal one, although the blow
of the new Tariff upon our industries is
very serious.

Retrospect For 1890.
The manifest mercies of the year are
such as to awaken devout and admiring
thankfulness to God, who has supplied,
defended, prospered and blessed this
favored land. The year opened with a
deep sense of political disquiet. It closes
with restored confidence. In financial
affairs, it has been a period of exceptional prosperity. In no year has the sugar
crop been so large, or the profits so
great. While a shadow rests upon our
future, owing to loss of our advantage
as to duties formerly enjoyed, we are
still sanguine of success in producing
our chief staple. The chief development
in public improvements has been the
completion of the Ewa Railway around
the Lochs for 17 miles, and its very
prosperous traffic; also the successful
sales of building lots at Pearl City,pointing to the early creation of a fine country resort at that point.
In our various lines of Christian work,
there has been much progress. It is
ground for thankfulness, that the Chinese work does not appear to have retrograded during the suspension through
ill-health of our able and devoted Superintendent. For this much is due to the
experienced care of Mrs. F. W. Damon,
and also to the devoted and winning
zeal of Miss May Green.
Our Japanese work has greatly prosThe Methodist division has
pered.
enjoyed the able exertions as Superin-
tendent, of Rev. A. N. Fisher. Our
department, in its strongest branch at
Hilo, has been peculiarly favored in the
labors of Kev.Jiro Okabe in that district,
and has made unwonted progress.
It has been the deepest gratification
of all that our churches have at last
found their way opened to minister efficiently to the spiritual destitution of our
Portuguese population. We have obtained helpers from the colony of Madeira exiles at Springfield, Illinois. Mr.
Soares is actively at work in Honolulu,
and Mr. Baptista in Hilo. Rev. Mr.
Pires, pastor of the Springfield Portuguese Church, has lent his personal aid
to inaugurate this mission. Already a
Mission House and lot are purchased
and occupied in this city, and a tasteful
chapel has been erected and dedicated.
A good congregation are in weekly attendance.
In Foreign Mission work, we have to
record the completion of the translation
of the Bible by Mr. Bingham into the
Gilbert Island tongue. Our mission
churches and schools in that group are
making steady progress towards Christian civilization.
In the Western Carolines, the work
at Ruk and its spiritual dependencies is
most prosperous. The little missionary
yacht Robert W. Logan, has gone to
their aid, and is doubtless now in busy
service, carrying gospel workers to and
fro.
For Ponape, we are in great trouble
of spirit. In the absence of the missionary peace-makers, the people under
much provocation, have risen against
their Spanish oppressors, and merciless
war is raging. The churches and mission houses are destroyed, and schools
broken up. The Spaniards are said to
have expelled our mission. We can
only pray for our afflicted brethren.
A great work is committed to our
hands. The Lord has greatly enlarged
our gospel agencies. Both money gifts
and personal toil are in increased demand
from us. Shall we rise to the height of
our privilege, in abundantly contributing
both? May the year on which we now
enter witness increasing fidelity and
consecration on our part as God's people, and bear record of growing conquests for Christ's kingdom.

Hawaiian Almanac and Annual For 1891
—
commonly known as
Is received
Thrum's Annual. An old and welcome
friend—always full of the latest facts,
brought accurately down to date. The
first thing that strikes one on opening
it is a very pretty map of the city, showing fire wards, election districts, principal buildings, harbor and soundings,
new railway stations and wharves,
Punchbowl road, etc., with an index to
fifty-one points of interest.
There are 67 pages of statistical
tables, inclusive of the last Appropriation
Bill, from which almost any information
can be gained about national finances,
property values, immigration, exports
and imports, rainfall and meteorology,
schools and education, sea and overland
distances, postal facilities, taxes, corporations, plantations, land areas and
rentals, and many other matters.
Then follow eighty pages of miscellaneous articles on native ferns, native
woods, fossils, land titles, ancient Hawaiian astronomy, information for tourists, retrospect for 1890, and many other
topics. There are six pages on Hawaiian tariff and duties, closing with
nine pages of Hawaiian Register and
Directory.
Mr. Thrum's long experience of what
the public need in this line, and practice in accurately furnishing it, enable
him to fill a place with hfs Annual not
easily equalled.
Rev. E. N. Pires. It was our privilege on Sunday last, to attend the Dedication services at the new Portuguese
Chapel, and to listen to the sermon
preached by the Springfield Pdstor. He
warmed up into what seemed to be
eloquence of a most impressive kind.
It seemed impossible to doubt that the
Portuguese language was an adequate
vehicle for the highest order of expression. Mr. Pires gave us in English
the heads of his discourse, thoughts
fitly chosen.
Rev. Mr. Pires (pee-rez) is a stalwart,
benevolent, practical looking man of
fifty, born in Madeira, coming as a
child with his exiled parents, and in
America obtaining a full and regular
education for the ministry. We have
also among us, Mr. and Mrs. Pereira,
relatives of Mrs. Soares, who were
among the adult exiles from Madeira.
Though in advanced years, they are
still hale and active, and can hear
witness to having suffered the loss of
all things for Christ's sake. Mr. Pereira
finds abundant employment as a firstclass machinist.

�Christmas Gifts and Festivals.
The Central Union Sunday School
led off in the line of Christmas festivities
this year. As frequently before the
children were asked to make gifts this
year, not to expect any themselves. $100
of the contributions were applied to buy
gifts for the children at the Leper Settlement, and $15 for those at the Kalihi
Station. The rest was given to the children attending the various Mission
School in the city. The total receipts
were amounted to $250. This with contributions received for the lepers on and
since the day of public prayer appointed
by the King; made nearly $100 contributed for the comfort of the afflicted
sufferers from that dread malady.
The Japanese Mission this year were

The Chinese Mission School, under
Miss May Green's superintendence held
their Christmas Festival in the upper
audience room of the Church. The tree
was a very elaborate affair, gay with
glittering baubles, and bright with countless candles.
Two stuffed sheep, and the lay figure
of a shepherd, were an additional attraction to the children, and something entirely unique. The exercises in which
the children had been drilled were well
rendered. Those in the audience who
could remember the first attempts, were
delighted at the marked improvement
shown, especially in the pronunciation
of the English words, and the orderliness of all the proceedings. One of the
little girls played the baby organ while
the class sung a pretty Christmas Carol.
The boys recited their Chinese manual

The December issue contains an excellent sermon upon "The Nation's Duty
to its Lepers."
In reference to the Friend's criticism
of an omission in the Prayers for Lepers,
the Diocesan claims that the missing
petition is contained in the Prayer for
Patience, to give them "such graces as
they need to bear the burden which God
has been pleased to lay upon them."
Our contention was for a petition for a
mind in the Hawaiian people to faithfully employ the Remedy of isolation.
This is not a petition for patience, or
compliance, but for active effort—not
for mere passive submission to the
efforts of the Board of Health, but for
active co-operation with it. It is quite
possible, however, that a distinct petition
of that sort would not have been well
received by a large portion of the natives,
which may perhaps have been a good
reason for omitting it.

that the good elements in our very mixed population will so far continue to

Christmas Notes.
East Maui has had a gorgeous Christmas. The Makawao Church has done
its share toward making the day remembered. The first event was on Monday
before Christmas when a tree, furnished
by the church with fruit, and managed
by Mrs. M. L. Hall, the superintendent,
was given to the Mission Sunday School
at Hamakuapoko. Tuesday eve a fine
tree showered its fruits among the native
children of Haiku Sunday School. This
was given by the children of the Makawao Foreign Sunday School, who gave
an entertainment some weeks ago to
raise the funds. The entertainment
and the expenditure of the proceeds
were under the management of Miss
Mary Beckwith, who deserves great
credit for both.
Wednesday evening was everybody's
Christmas Tree. Among others a large
tree was erected at Mr. Baldwin's house,
the pleasures of which were participated
in by the whole neighborhood. The same
evening twelve bullocks were slaughtered, and many bags of sugar were
distributed among the employees of Paia
and Haiku Sugar Plantations. Every
officer of the company from the lunas
up had also a golden testimonial of the
good feeling existing between employers
and employees.
Thursday night was celebrated everywhere by eating of geese, turkeys, ducks,
etc., and the transfer of presents. All
the young officers of the two plantations
were gathered to a grand banquet at Mr.
Baldwin's house, which was a great
guccess. Friday night the festivities
were brought to a close by a supper at
the church, folldUted by business meetings and a social. I think this will last

are too dislocated—disjointed—disconnected, —too generally and specifically
disreputable to feel any shrinking from
the public disgust at their unseemly,

The complete change that has passed
over England within this past fifty years
in the matter of Church work and service, no one can describe. It has made
its presence felt everywhere. The old
question of vestures, which used to be
so made a matter of mockery against
Puritans, because they had great and
conscientious objection* to vestures, has
a curious counterpart or counterfeit in
the extraordinary enthusiasm that makes
the modern Anglican suffer penalty and
imprisonment for the sake of a vesture
he wants to wear. In the architecture
of the churches there is a return to the
Catholic idea in the way in which they
have been restored. Then there is the
vast elaboration of services, processions,
candles, chantings, so marking the religious system of to day. But, above
all, there is the new life of the clergy.
The old squirrel-hunting parson has
gone. The old man who cared to be a
gentleman first, and was in the Church
that he might be, has vanished, and
there has come the vigilant vicar, the
active curate, men possessed of the very
noblest spirit of self-sacrifice and service.
May we all learn to be as they are in
the matter of service and the matter of

The Revolt at Ponape.
The tidings come from Ponape that
the natives, provoked by the aggravated
misrule of the Spanish officials, have
risen in rebellion against them. Last
July a working party of the Spanish was
attacked in t+ie early morning, and, as
their guns had been left in camp many
of them wen- killed. Some half dozen,
including two priests, were saved by
the kindly intervention of a Christian
native. He brought them at the risk of
his life to the Mission premises, and
during the night succeeded in escorting
them under cover of the darkness to a
place of safety. The Governor sent at
once for additional troops. Three ships
of war and two transports came from
Manila, reaching Ponape early in September. Then the fighting began, and
the accounts given below show that
thirty of the Spaniards were killed, but
no Ponapeans. The U. S. S. Alliance
had been sent from Japan on the receipt
of the first tidings of the fight in July.
Newspaper accounts say that the American missionaries, who were the instigators of the revolt, had been deported to
Kusaie. This cannot possibly be a correct version of the affair, for no American missionary, except Miss Palmer in
charge of the girls' school, has been on
Ponape since the Star took away Mr.
Doane last February. Miss Palmer
cannot possibly have incited this revolt.
It is entirely the doing of the Ponapeans
themselves.

between the Spanish and the natives. At first they thought it might be
safe on the other side of the island, but
the Governor said that there was no
safety anywhere, and it was decided to

them to Mokil or Kusaie for safety,

was reported that the fighting was to

you want to marry a rich man's daughter, or borrow $500 from him, ask him
for it; it amounts to the same thing in
the end. It is always better to astonish
a man than to bore him.
Remember that in the morning of life
come the hard working days. Hard
work never killed a man. It's fun, recreation, relaxation, holidays, that kill.
The fun that results in a head the next
morning, so big that a tub could hardly
cover it. is what kills. Hard work never
does.
Those who come after us have to work
just as hard ar we do. When I shovel
snow off my sidewalk, if perchance I
take a three-quarter piece off my neighbor's walk, I put it back, because if I
didn't I should be doing him an injustice.

They are not mythical, but actual events.

The people cooked hogs, dogs and potatoes and prepared poi, water in calabashes and other supplies in sufficient
quantities for the chief and his retainers,
and sta.ted afoot with their burdens to
meet him. On arriving at Kapua the
fleet came along but did not stop. The
alii called to the people ashore to go
back to the next landing towards South
Point. They resumed their burdens
and retraced their steps to this place,
the king proceeding by sea. At this
place they were told to go on still further to another landing. This was repeated several times and they were finally told to climb the steep pali and meet
the king at Kaalualu around and east of
South Point. The people were tired,
footsore and hungry from their wearisome travel over the lava and determined upon a different reception to their alii

will teach these chiefs a lesson not to
wear us out with their capricious whims.
We are hungry and we will eat the food
and give him another article of diet instead." So they sat down and ate up
the food and filled the ti-leaf containers
with stones and proceeded to near the
coast and sat on a slight hill to await
the coming of the chief and his party.
He landed and proceeded up the ascent
to receive his hookupu (tribute of food).
When near, the people stood up and,
taking the stones from the containers,
threw them at the King and his retainers saying, "Here is your pig," "Here
is your dog," "Here are your potatoes,"
etc., and Koihala was killed. The stone,
a short way on the road from Kaalualu
to Waiohinu is still pointed out as the
exact spot where Koihala—the exacting
tyrant —met his death.
Another chief, Kahaikalani, was told
by the priests that he must build a heiau,
or temple, on the summit of one of those
abrupt hills or craters which lie in the
rear of the present Hilea Plantation.
The people, men, women and children
were all called out to perform this task.
Stones in large quantities had to be carried up the steep hill to the summit.
When the temple was completed, a certain large tree growing on the land below
had to be felled and dragged up to the
summit, there to be made into an idol
for the temple. On the top of the hill
was a dense forest, but none of these
gel of the mind; the magic wand of
memory; the splendid enginery of will;
the witchery of love; the pure, bright
flame of God's spirit gleaming at the
center of all other powers, and lighting
up the mighty galleries of mind—all
these are royal gifts that all were meant
to share.. But out yonder on Chicago
streets well nigh five thousand shops
are licensed to sell the poisons that
darken every window of this temple
built by God and lighted by the Holy
Ghost. And the Woman's Temple,
whose corner-stone we are so soon to
lay, is reared because the noblest temple in God's universe is marred and
blackened, shaken and shattered by the
saloon poison that sickens every sense
along the streets of all the world."
"The man who drinks dese*
crates the holiest temple in the universe.
The man who sells intoxicating drinks is a
temple desecrator by profession, and the
Woman's Temperance Temple carries
these supreme lessons to every thoughtful eye by its presence, by its name, by
its uses, by its corner-stone bearing the
sacred words, "To God and Home and
Native Land."
We append the last two stanzas of
the noble hymn for the occasion "What
means this stone?" by Mrs. Mary J.
and the people in long lines were made
to tug at it, and, after severe labor, they
got the log to the steepest part, but
could go no further with it. They then
said to the chief, "You and the priests
go to the lower end of the log and push,
and at a signal we will make another effort to get it up to its place." The king
and priests took their stations, and with
a great shout the people made a superhuman effort, and the log started again
on its upward course. When nearly at
the top, upon a signal which was preconcerted, the people let go of the ropes
and the log went trashing down the hill,
destroying king and priests in its course.
Thus the reign of another tyrant and his
advisers was ended.
Halaea, another ruler of Kau, was
very fond of fish. His custom was when
the people were out in the deep water
off the South Point with their long nets,
after they had made a good haul, to proceed out in his royal canoe and select
from each the best fish that were taken.
On one occasion the people determined
to put an end to his rapacity. The peoLathrop.
ple were fishing off Kalae (South Point)
From fair foundations wide as love,
well out to sea and were very successful.
When the king came along to make his To slender turret far above

independence.
Upon the future's golden rim,
We lay the stone and raise the hymn
The Woman's Temperance Temple at
Chicago.
The Corner stone of this grand edifice
was laid Nov. 1, 1890. It is to be thirteen stories high, with extreme height
of spire two hundred and sixty feet. It
is two hundred feet in length by one
hundred in depth. It will cost $1,100,-000, and besides halls and office§ for the
W. C. T. D. work, will contain stores
and offices renting for $250,000 per annum. We add the following short extracts from Mrs. Frances E. Willard's
address on the occasion.
* * "And doubtless as God sees, to
whom there is no little and no great,
the rare and radiant sphere of each
man's brain is a million times more
marvellous than any globe that glitters
in the midnight sky. The limitless outreach of thought that leaves the lightning far behind; the sweet reasonableness of reason; the brilliant play of wit;
the white wing of imagination, that an-
Prophetic, grand;
Abide in strength, O jewelled stone!
For thou art set for God and Home,
For feet that stumble, hearts that moan,
In all the land.
Abide in strength before the gates
Where God's eternal promise waitt.
We give thee to thy mission sweet,
With lavish wealth of love complete,
Nor count the sum.
Who knows but on this altar-place
May shine the glory of His face,
When Jesus comes.
There is an eternal beauty on the
faces of some women whom a rough
world may call homely; though their
features may contradict all the laws of
physiognomy, yet they have graces of
soul that will keep them attractive for
time and glorious through eternity.
In the buried city of Pompeii was
found the form of a woman, who instead
of instant flight had stopped to gather
up her jewels. She saved neither jewels nor life. Just so, how many try to
get both earth and heaven, and lose
both.

THE FRIEND.
Faith Inspirers.—The greatest service which any man can render to his
fellows is to inspire them with faith in
themselves, to make them believe that
they are capable of the. highest things,
to fill them continually with that deep
confidence which springs, not from overestimate of self, but from a tremendous
hold on fundamental principles, an unconquerable faith in noble and worthy
causes. livery man who has not utterly wrecked himself may know that he
was born for the best things. To hear
this inner voice and follow it, to make
aspiration, not a dream which lies like a
sunset light on the horizon, but a
quenchless star which burns forever before one's confident feet, is to put one's
self in the line of the noblest success.
There are men and women whose whole
atmosphere is critical, skeptical, and
depressing; there are others out of
whom confidence is breathed, and from
whom strength goes forth unconsciously
to themselves. They always appeal to
that which is noblest in their fellows ;
they always inspire their fellows with
new hope and fresh courage. There is
no joy in life so great as to be one of
these faith-inspirers, to have this sub
lime health of spirit which makes the
very hem of one's garment healing, and
diffuses courage, hope, and faith like an
atmosphere through the world.—Christian Union.
The Christianity of Christ—if only
we could recover it—"pauses in life's
pleasures to count its many tears," and
"hides not itself," however disguised in
rags and misery, "from its own flesh ,"
The bigger the work, the greater the
The whole-hearted
striving and wrestling with Difficulty;
the laying hold, with firm grip and level
head and calm resolution, of the monster, and tugging and toiling and wrestling at it to-day, to-morrow and the
next until it is done; it is the soldier's
creed of forward, ever forward; it is the
man's faith that for this task he was
born. Darkest Africa.
