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
obliged to anticipate the Christmas
Season somewhat on account of the departure of Mr. S. Ban, late Secretary of
the Legation, with his wife, returning
to Japan on the S. S. China. Since
Mr. Ando's departure,Mr. Ban has been
the leader in Christian work, and bis
genial sympathy and business tact will
be greatly missed in mission work among
the Japanese. Mr. Masuda also leaves
Honolulu, and his help as an interpreter
for Mr. Fisher, and in other ways will
be a loss not easily to be repaired. The
generosity of the little band of Japanese
Christians was shown in this as in previous Christmas gatherings, in the gifts
so freely distributed among the audience
that filled the Lyceum. The young men
sang with genuine enthusiasm, and the
addresses, were as pointed and effective
as they were brief. Cakes and ice-cream
were served in the adjoining room.

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
with phenomenal accuracy. The teachers deserved the praises they received
from friends and spectators for the successful management of the festival; and

held their Christmas Festival in the new
chapel, used for the first time for this
happy occasion. Mr. Dillingham's efficient helpers Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, Mrs.
Gilman, and Miss Dower had provided
a bountiful array of toys and other gifts.
After several songs from the school,
and brief addresses from friends present,
the eighty odd children of the school
with their parents and friends, had a
good time over the gifts, liberally provided.
The Mission School in Fowler's
Yard, under Miss Johnson,had their entertainment Friday evening in the vestry
of the Central Union Church, and had a
glorious good time.
Christmas Day, the inmates of the
Receiving Hospital for Lepers at Kalihi
had a tree provided, for the delight of

also for every one old or young.

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.

bad that the business in white hands

people feel that we can manage our own
affairs better than others could manage
them for us. We are entirely hopeful
that the good elements in our very mixed population will so far continue to
maintain ascendency over the opposite,
as to ensure a fairly good administration

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
us till next Christmas. P.C.Advertiser.

is only on the makai side. One looks
to see the attempts at sidewalks on the
upper side corrugate themselves in selfcontempt and shrivel up in the presence
of such a decent neighbor. But they
are too dislocated—disjointed—disconnected, —too generally and specifically
disreputable to feel any shrinking from
the public disgust at their unseemly,
unbecoming, uncivilized, unsightliness.
Why does not a committee of citizens
organize to tear up and abolish such a
leg-breaking nuisance, which drives
everybody into the roadway? Oh, if we

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
devotion!—/!. M. Fairbarn.

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.

them to Mokil or Kusaie for safety,

jection the various districts were ruled the top. Ropes of bark were prepared,
over by petty kings or high chiefs. Anecdotes of three of these aliis who successively ruled over the large district of
Kau, are still current among the natives.
They are not mythical, but actual events.
Koihala the alii of Kau was about
making a voyage from Kona to Kau in
his fleet of canoes. He sent word to his
people of Kau to meet him with supplies
of food on a certain day .it Kapua.
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
from what he expected. They said "we
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.

to put an end to his rapacity. The peoLathrop.

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.

of instant flight had stopped to gather

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

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

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
to be resisted if it comes to fighting again.
We have heard all sorts of rumors and
some threats from those who think that
we are too friendly with the Spanish. The
Kiti people are very anxious about Nan

The Close of the Ice Age Recent.

HENRY M. Lyman,

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

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

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

leather, clothing and shots, and all be
comfortable and happy. They would all
become producers and consumers.

do it. But slavery is out of the question.

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,)
such as must be met if we are to keep the
work abreast of its present position

as practically assured to our need outside

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
If it is the same to the giver, we

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.

The Y. M. C. A. Roys had an interesting meeting last month. After the transaction of some necessary business the
Boys were addressed by Mr. F. M. English,
8.A., on "Life in the Indian Territory."
Mr. English spent two years in the terri
tory as an educational agent of the American Government. His experience was
rather unique, but not calculated to multiply applicants for the same or any similar
position requiring residence in the territory.
We are greatly pleased to have Mr.
Richards again able to lead tie singing in
the Gospel Service. The singing is a
very important part of this meeting and
his strong leading v. ice inspires others to
sing, and lightens somewhat the work of
our pianist, who, in the absence of a
chorister, has so faithfully done double
duty.
On New Year's the ladies of the W. C.

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
have tried it. I speak in this homely way
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
alone will have spent for beer and rum
$15,600,000, or enough to purchase and
equip a first class telegraph line of their
own; $15,600,000 enough to invest in
such co-operative cut' rprises as would forever end the strike antl lock out as a 11 eai s

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.
As to the loss to be sustained by our
planters in consequence of the removal of
Protective duty, in the benefit of which
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.

THE QUEEN.
Our good Queen Liliuokalani takes the
throne utider circumstances most favor
able, if wisely used, for a happy and prosperous reign. She enjoys in a high degree
the affection of her Hawaii in subjects,
and their confidence in her attachment to
their welfare. Her gentle and gracious
demeanor, her good sense, and her fine
culture, have also commanded the h'gh
regard of the foreign community, which
has grown to a sympathizing esteem, in
observing her many and active labors for
the relief and uplifting of her own sex
among the people.
If in the incipient adjustment of her relations, as Queen, to the government, a
slight cloud has shadowed the brightness
of the prospect, the difficulties arising
seem to us not such as to justify impatience
or haste, but rather to call for kindly forbearance, and patient efforts for a mutual
good understanding. Full weight is to be
given, and consideration felt, for those
natural and national sentiments in favor
of the power and prerogat yes of Royalty,
which are inbred in the Hawaiian People
and their Chiefs.
It can hardly be doubted by any one
that this Kingdom is advancing through a
period of transition from Monarchy to
government by the People. 'The nation
is slowly ripening for the ultimate change.
It is gradually learning the ways and
methods of popular government. The
change needs to be gradually accomplish-

Spanish authorities that two insurgent

for u cruise on the American coast Governor Sola made elaborate preparations
for defence, and sent orders to every mission and presidio to have all articles of
value, such as church ornaments, boxed
up and sent to certain inland stations,
where stores of provisie ns were to be collected.
All non-combatants were to be ready to
retire at the first warning to these places
of refuge, and sentinels were to be posted
at commanding points of view. The hostile Squadron did not, however, arrive at
the coast till late in the afternoon of November 20, 1818, when the lookout on
Point Pinos reported two ships of war in
sight approaching Monterey.
�Volume 49, No. 3.]
'The Governor's available force at Monterey consisted of forty men and eight
cannons, 6 and 8 pounders. According
to Captain Gyzelaar,the "Argentina"carried
thirty four guns, and her consort, under
Lieutenant Pedro Conde, twenty guns,
their combined crews numbering about
290 men. Great was the panic on si ore.

The Santa Rosa anchored about midnight, and nexl morning engaged in a
combat with the shore battery without any
decisive result.
Governor Sola reports that after two
hours' firing, her commander lowered his
flag and asked for a suspension of hostilities, which was granted.
This, however, may have been a ruse.
'The query suggests itself, if she really surrendered, why did not the Spaniards take
possession of her and turn her guns
against the"Argentina ?
The tradition current in the Vallejo
family is that there was a new battery of
three iBpoundcrs, not mentioned in the
official reports, under J. J. Vallejo, w icll

three men, whom the governor detained

Later in the day, the "Argentina" arrived
and summoned the governor to surrender,
which he haughtily refused to do.

four of his men deserted to the Spaniards,
alleging that they had been forced to enlist in the Argentine service against their

off the Mexican coast, near Acapulco,
steering south.
He had probably expected to surprise
the Spaniards, and to reap a rich booty,
and perhaps hoped to gain the peop c over
to the side of the insurgents, and thus to
anticipate the revolutiein, which took place
three years later. If so, he failed in both
objects. His attack made a deep impression on the imagination of the Cali

grew. The defenders of Monteiey were
exilted into heroes, and the name of "the

IN MEMORIAM.-REV.
J. H.
MAHOE.
He was born in South Kona, Hawaii,
Dec. 31, 1831. He went early to the
Hilo Boarding School; and always retained
pleasant recollections of the four years
spent under the influence and teaching of
Father and Mother Lyman of blessed
memory. From Hilo he went to Lahainaluna, and there received thorough education and culture in his native language,
using textbooks which had been translated into Hawaiian. He graduated in the
memorable class ef 1855, with Revs. M.
Kuaea, J. Waiamau, J. N. Paikuli, and
others.
His first pastoral work was at Hauula
on this island of Oahu; and from there he
went to aid Father Bishop in caring for
the church at Ewa. In 1856 he married
to Libby Olivia Kale, whose mother had
been one of Miss Ogden's early pupils,
and who had herself spent several years in
Miss Ogden's family, and enjoyed her
careful, thorough training.
F. ther Bishop greatly valueel Mr. and
Mrs. Mahoe; and it was not easy for him
to spare them fir the work in Micronesia.
They sailed in the second trip of the missionary packet "M< rning Star No. 1," in
1858. At a general meeting of the mission, held that year at Kusaie, they were
designate d to the Gilbert Islands, to begin
work on Tarawa as soon as an associate
should come. Meantime Mr. and Mrs.
Mahoe remained at Apaiang, where they
were valued helpers in the different departments if the work. A neat and comfortable cottage with all needed out buildings were made ready; and, as soon as
enough of the language was acquired, they
were able and willing teachers. Mr. Mahoe rendered valuable aid in building the
first church and the first three schoolnous- son Apaiang; and at length, in addition to preaching at Koinawa, the capital, in his turn, he took charge of the work
at Aonobu.ka, one of the out stations. In
iB6O Mr. Mahoe was ordained to the
work c f the ministry, and located with Mr.
G. Haina at Tabiang on Tarawa—a hard,
unpromising field. But the patient endurance and cheerful courage of these
faithful laborers were equal to the need.
An occasional interchange of visits between
the families on the two islands of Tarawa
and Apaiang afforded a delightful and
welcome change.
The writer does not forget the kindly
ent. rtainment that was given her in Mr.
M hoe's family at the time that the "Star
of Peace" was making the pioneer missionary tour of the islands of Maiana.
As the happy, busy years went by the
work was often interrupted by wars and
rumors of wars. These culminated at
leng.h in 1868 in a serious civil war. The
southern half of Apaiang joined forces
with the southern and western parts of
Tarawa in rebellion against the two kings,
Abraham Kaiea and David Kourapi. Mr.
Mahoe was temporarily occupying the station at Apaiang. The Tarawan party then
nearest the station were almost fiendish in

their hatred of all that was good, and in
their disposition to worry and annoy the
mission families. More than once some
of them were found plotting to murder
every body and take all the property. 'To
steal anything they could lay hands en
seemed their constant aim, by day and
night.
After ten weeks of this incessant and
exhaustive nervous strain one of the families was about to leave, for the usual return to Honolulu. 'The question was asked, Would it not be better for the; present
that all should go, and leave the islanel
until these troublesshall be overpast ? Mr.
Mahoe, with noble heroism, said, "'There
is mission property here; I will stay and
care for it." And so he did, unt.l the
treacherous assassi i's bullet laid him low.

One day, as he lay on his bed in Mr

and to medical aid by theschooner "Annie,"
Capt. Babcock.
Once here, in his native air, and in the
wise hands of good Dr. Stangenwald, the
wound gradually healed; and, little by little, the good constitution reasserted itself,
and health was re established. Still the
right arm was useless; but the undaunted
man learned to write with the left hand,
and very legibly too. He was able, at
length, to take a pastorate on Kauai, anel
labored faithfully at Koloa, until the largenumber of Gilbert Island laborers on different parts of that island opened a fielel
where his acquaintance with their languagewould make him especially useful. He had
his home at Kilauea from whence he tour

them, visited them in their homes, and did
what he could for them spiritually and
physically. When the numb* r was reduce el

Our Columns.
Perhaps the best thing we are giving
this month is the tribute by Mrs. Bing
ham to the memory of Rev. J. H. Mahoe,
late missionary at Apaiang, Gilbert Islands.
It is a deeply touching story of devotion
and suffering for the salvation of a heathen
people.
Prof. Alexander also gives us one of his
admirable collations from Hawaiian history, the story of a nearly forgotten capture of pirates on Hawaii, and of the subsequent sack by their captor Bouchard of
the village of Monterey in California.
Some additional light is thrown by
Rev. Mr. Rand upon the immediate
causes of the late uprising of the Ponape
natives against their Spanish oppressors.
The New Cabinet.
On the 25th, the four Judges of the
Supreme Court, one dissenting, rendereel
their decision, that the Constitution specifying nothing to the contrary, the old pre
cedent must prevail, by which the new
Sovereign appeiints a new Ministry. 'This
decision settled the question. 'The Cabinet
at once resigned, and a new Cabinet w.:s
commissioned, consisting of Hon. Samuel
Parker, Minister of Foreign Affairs and
Premier; Hon. C. N. Spencer, Interiot:
Hen. H. A. Widemann, Finance;and HonW. A. Whiting, Attorney General. Mr.
Spencer etintinues in office from the old
Cabinet. Mr. Widemann has large legis
lative and ministerial experience, although
somewhat impaired in strength by years.
Mr. Parker is a gentleman of wealth, representing the Hawaiian element. Mr.
Whiting brings much experience as Deputy
Attorney General. All are men of good
repute for honoi and integrity.
We think that, on the whole, the kingdom is to be congratulated upon such a
solution of the difficulty. The judges
were careful to specify that the Sovereign
has no power to remove her new Cabinet
except by the desire of the Legislature.
We regard this result as one likely to inspire good feeling among the native Hawaiians, a thing of great importance.
Cure for Pride.
Self knowledge, acepiired through the illumination of the mind by the Holy spirit,
is destructive of pride and promotive of
humility. No man thinks so little of himself as he who knows himself best. Such
a man understands that he owes all that is
good in his heart and life to the grace of
Cod. And contradictory as it may seem,
it is nevertheless true that a good man's
ex .Ration is in proportion to his perception
of his own nothingness. He rises when he
sinks. He grows in nobility of character
when he most clearly estimates his own
imperfection. It is to the poor in spirit
that Christ gives the riches of the kingdom
of heaven.
For whi soever exalteth himself shall be
abased ; and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted.— Luke xiv:n.
From a laugh to a tear is a short bridge

make old men.

It was in the merning of the same day
that I found the good minister, my host,
fumbling over the bottom things in the
trunk whie;h was in the chamber I occupy,
looking for a discarded Derby hat. He
soon brought it to light. It was a seedy
hat and worn for age and wear, but it was
black and stood up stiff. Having a suspicion of what he was about, I said, "Who,
pray are you getting that hat out for? You
have one and I have one, is it for Dan ?"
The reply was, "I did not know but that
you might wish a stiff one to-day and a

black hat' in the place of your straw or
crush hat." 'This was said in view v( the
fact that the church stood in the next yaiel,
and the wearing of the hat was just for a
moment. But that moment lolel the story,
as I afterwards discovered, for, during that
morning I was approached by one of the
deacons who sail to me, "And why have
they not ordained you ?"' The fact is, I
had on the crush hat.
I have known this same minister on a
journey to discard his broad brimmed
straw hat and ride more than a score of
miles in the heat of the day with his ministerial blae'k hat on his head, and his face
all exposed to the sun. And when I
remeinstrati d with him, and pleaded for
his health and his comfort, he quietly replied, "I do it that I may not discredit my
office."
It is well known that the Hawaiian cannot stand ridicule.
Nothing cuts him
worse than the scornful la-'gh. If you
want to throw him ( It his guard poke fun
at him; if you are indifferent to his favor
then disregard the propr eties in his pres
ence. His ielea of gooel form in ly not be
just yours, but he has a quick instinct
which tells him of any careless slighting
of it. He; can tell a gentleman when he
sees one although he may not always be
able to tell a clergyman anil manners go a
great way with him.

tacked the native fort, which is defended
by a zigzag stockade of mud antl timber
some twenty feet high by fifteen to eight
een feet wide. It is said that the natives
fought with singular bravery, an instancebeing cited of one <f them who with his
last strength struggled upand shot a Spaniard, and immediately afterwards died eif
the live wounds previously received
'The islanders were eventually driven
into the jungle, where the difficulties ol
the Spaniards were increased, as the b ish
and undergrowth are very thick, and the
savages have sprinkled the ground with
man traps, added to which their costume
in war time consists tjf green leaves, which
makes it very difficult to see them Rgail It
the foliage, while their superior size and
strength, and the fact that they are armed
with Remington rifles and are as active
as monkeys, placed the Km peans at still
further disatlvantage. Nevertheless the
loss of life Ofl the native side is said to
have been very large, although no actual
figures can be given, as the brg/ast p-rt of
their dead and wounded were t:arned away
by their friends. It is said the Spanish
commander, who is among the slain, was
so mortified with the loss of Ins soldiers
antl the unsatisfactory conditions under
which he had to fight that in a moment of
frenzy he shot himself.

Y. M. C. A. Boys.
The meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Hoys
for last month was postponed one week
and so came on the 13th instead of the
sth. By the happy providence Rev.
W. I). VVesterveh was down from Maui
and kindly consented to give the Boys
the talk on " The Cave Dwellers anel
Cliff Ruins " of Colorado, Arizona anel
Mexico. Mr. Westervelt has visited
anil c.ireful|y studied these ancient and
interesting ruins anel concludes that the
dwellers therein were Indians, moving
north from Mexico and that their decen I
ants are yet found among the Indians
of the north. The talk was very interesting and instructive not only to the
hoys but to some older listeners who
were present.
Sunday Evening Meeting.
For several weeks the attendance upon
the Suneliy evening meeting has been un
usually large, and the me< tings have been
well sustained and interesting.
There is still room for more to attend,
and opportunity for more to contribute a
few words of testimony or offer a brief
prayer, this increasing the value and helpfulness of the meeting. Try to be present
on time, 6:30 o'clock.
The topics for the month are as follows:
Mar. 1. —Warned agiinst Had Company.
Prov. 1:10-18; Kph. 5.11.
Mar. B.—The heart in the Wrong Place.
Gen. 19:15-26; Mat. 6:21.

Henry assured him that they had come

no other purp' se. He told Henry that
they must not have any more meetings; if
they did the-y would he sent to the governor, and he would take off their heads

Dear Dr. Hvur.:
* * * Reached home Saturday
night, 24th inst. Two ladies of the
church had gone ten miles by another
train to meet me. A large number of
the congregation were at the depot,
waiting. * * * My children were
almost excited and came running towards me. The congregation was out
strong on the Sabbath. On Monday
evening the congregation, led by our
Christian Endeavor Society assembled
at our house to give me a reception
of welcome home. The affair was a
pleasant surprise, and very cheering to
us all. I find that there has been no
death in the church, nor more sickness
than when I left. The Church has
been moving on nicely. Several of the
ministers have given us gooel help.
God indeed has been good to us all.
Our people have taken deep interest in
the Portuguese work on the Hawaiian
Islands. They have prayed much for
its success. Their interest will continue, and also their prayers. They
will look for a good blessing upon the
labors of the brethren. 'These efforts
will not be in vain, (rod speed the
work. The people reejuest a lecture on
the Islands. Sorry I did not being a
map, etcetera. My regards to yourself,
all at home, the young master, and to
the many good friends.
Yours Respectfully,
E. X. PIRKS.
I trust the new Queen may be good
and a blessing to all the people and the
right.

DECREASE OF NATIVE HAWAIIANS.
By inquiry of the Superintendent of
the Census, we learn that the total population of the Kingdom is not far from
90,000, of whom about 50,000 are foreigners, and 10,1100 natives and halfcastes. Forthe first time foreigners are
in excess, mainly in consequence of immigration from the Azores and Japan.
The alarming fact exists, however,
that the decrease of the native population during the past six years is not only
absolutely great but that it is by count
relatively very much greater than during
any previous period. We are not able
to give the precise figures; hut such will
prove to be the fact. It is quite likely
that the census of 1884 overestimated
the number of natives. With all due
allowance for such error, the ratio of decline is increasing. We await with
painful anxiety, the publication of the
tabulated results, which are still incomplete.
About two years since, we printed in
Tub Ekikno, also in pamphlet form, a
discussion of the question, "Why are
the Hawaiians Dying out?" The causes
were precisely pointed out, and shown
to be remediable ones, whose antidotes
are mainly Moral and Social Reform.
During the past decade, these destructive causes have been intensified in their
deadly activity.
We are averse to making any crimi-
that shall inspire the future in this respect. Hut we cannot abstain from earnestly appealing to all who have power
to influence the Hawaiian people, to
take the alarm at once, and work together to arrest this fearful decay of
their population.
An Order of "The Sons of Hawaii,"
has been brought before the public, as
seeking the political and social advancement of their race. This is a noble and
patriotic aim, and one that we would
further with all our powers. How can
Ihese Native Sons better apply their
combined energies�sfor this end, than in

superstition which are so rapidly deSurely their

foremost efforts must be directed to preserving and multiplying their people,
whose decrease will inevitably frustrate
their other efforts.
"Hawaii for the
Hawaiians " is a grand cry; but how
sadly, hopeless if Hawaiians let themselves melt away as they are doing.
Education, culture, religion, social
and temperance reform are hard at
work to save this noble and interesting
people. But the Saloon has been set
open to craze them. The Hula has
corroded them with its leprosy. The
majority succumb to drunkenness and
social vice; and the Kahunas stand by
to thrust them down into still earlier
graves. And so the people are wasting
away. Shall no Prince or prophet arise
to lead the Hawaiians upward to purity
and health? It may soon be too late.
respondence with all parts of the Home
and Mission fields. Especial note is
made of his services in framing the New
Model Deed for the Church in the
Colonies, and in the preparation of the
Church Property Trust Act. Father
Waterhouse is spoken of as a man of
great Vigor and husiness ability, yet of
rare gentleness and goodness. His last
days were of intense suffering, jet of
great joy and triumph.
Munificent Gift to Oahu College.
Our readers are already aware how
prudently and liberally the Hon. Charles
R. Bishop has been applying his large
wealth to the help of Education in this
Kingdom. We have now to record another noble gift. Not long since Mr.
Bishop, writing from California, made
the generous offer to donate the sum of
$50,0(111 to the funds of Oahu College,
on the condition that an equal sum
should be raised by other friends of the
institution, before the approaching
Jubilee. By the mail of March 31st,
orders have been received from Mr.
Bishop to make over at once to the
trustees the sum above named, in wellinvested securities, from which income
will immediately accrue. We most
warmly congratulate the old friends and
patrons of the College, together with
President Hosmer, upon this strong and
needed reinforcement to their finances.
And most of all, we congratulate the
noble donor himself, upon so wise and
serviceable an investment of his wealth.

heathen has a dim consciousness of God,
who is " not far from every one ol us,"
though he as well as the learned Pantheist " worship the creature rather than
the Creator, who is blessed forever."
THE MORAL CONSCIOUSNESS.
There is another element in natural
religion, which must not be ignored, viz.;
the moral consciousness. To borrow the
words of Kant, it is not only the "starry
heaven above us," but also the " moral
law in us," that testifies of God. The
heathen, however, debased or perverted
his moral sense may be, has a conscience,
has terms for right and wrong, and some
dim apprehension of the " Power not
ourselves, that makes for Righti ousness," as Matthew Arnold has it. The
ancient Hawaiians, at any rate, had
some partial glimpses of the truth, and
some crude notions of divine justice,
of retribution and of expiation, which
formed the basis of their system of sacrifices, and which were wisely turned to
account by their first Christian teachers.
Those missionaries fully understood how
little it avails to merely induce a heathen
tc adopt outward observances or to repeat religious formulas. Their great
aim was to awaken his moral nature, to
reach his heart and conscience, and their
labors were signally blessed.
WORSHIP OF THE DEAD.
Though the "Ghost theory" ofSpencer
and others is totally inadequate to account for religion as an historical fact,
yet there is some truth in it. Both their
observation and their own inner consciousness have led men of all races to
perceive the distinction between soul
and body, and a number ol causes aside
from the phenomena of dreams and
trances, have further led to the almost

as still watching over the interests of
his tribe, and the patriarch over his descendants. Hero worship and the worship of ancestors naturally arose from
such a belief, and afterwards the elemental spirits of nature were conceived of as
having a similar nature or as assuming
human forms. In this way Nature-worship passed into Polytheism. Gods became male and female, and extensive
systems of mythology grew up in course
of time, which reflected the character of
the races that imagined them.
PRIESTCRAFT.
The belief that men of superior intelligence can enter into communication
with the great spirits of nature or with
the deified dead, is common to all races.
This led to the existence of a class of
priests and sorcerers, some of whom

were supposed to uSe their power for
benevolent and others for evil purposes.
Standing thus between the community
and the unseen powers, they were inevitably led to practise fraud to maintain
their credit. They were impostors to a
certain extent, but yet believers too.
By slow degrees the priesthood be

were tutelar spirits, attached to particular families, and were generally, but

was often the case, they resided in a

propitiated by prayers and offerings,
which were different in different families. They were imagined to be jealously watching for an v infringement of tabu,
but the most heinous lin in their eyes
was neglect to perform a vow ("hoohiki").
On the other hand, the aumakuas some
times befriended their devotees, and

It was probably not till the Great Revival of 1838 that any large proportion
of the common people were lifted out of
their dismal and degrading superstitions
into the " liberty wherewith Christ hath
made us free." In regard to the retrograde tendencies of the last thirty years,
I need not add any thing to the statements of Rev. J. Bicknell in the article
referred to above.
There is, however, reason to believe
that the reaction has spent its force, and
that a change for the better is taking
place.
There has not been any thing strange
or unprecedented in this experience ot
the Hawaiian people. In 18(15 a large
part of the New Zealand Maories revolted against the moral restraints of Christianity, and set up in its place a grotesque mixture of Pagan and Romanist
rites and doctrines, known as " Halthauisin.''
Our own Saxon ancestors, on the
death of the good King Ethelbert in 616,
relapsed into heathenism, so that all the
missionaries but one abandoned England for a time.
The same class of superstitions that
has been found so hard to extirpate here,
has always been the last to die out in
othercountries. They outlive changes
of language and civilization. In China
the worship of ancestors is much older
than Confucianism, Taoism or Buddhism, and is today the real national religion, deepest in the hearts of the people.
In the Roman Empire the worship ol
tutelar family deities, the "lares and
penates," survived in the homage paid
to patron saints, while the dreadful superstition of the " evil eye," the belief in
tceiy and the use of amulets and
charms, still prevail in all the countries
bordering on the Mediterranean Se'.
Many such remnants of pagan superstition still survive among the members
of our own race, while no form of impostuie OT quackery, however gross, fails
to find adherents among them.
It is not for us to cast the first stone
at the poor Hawaiian.
Even among Protestant Christians,
polytluistic h.iiiits of thought survive to

of physical forces and of the laws of nature, us if they were self-existent or any

THE FRIEND.
-
Editor.
News has reached us by way of Sydney from the Gilbert Islands and Mr.
Walkup, that the Ponape troubles had delayed the Star's arrival at Apaiang for the
purpose of touring through the group
four weeks. And then when she did
come the westerly winds came, and to
cap the climax the Star burst one of her
two boilers. But we are thankful that
nobody was hurt. Mr. Walkup reports
that in spots the work is hopeful, but
that there are spots which give a dark
outlook. The stations to the extreme
north and to the extreme south are in a
bad condition. About one thousand in
all throughout the group have died from
the measles; those islands suffering the
most which have been most exposed to
foreign visitation.
We have in this issue to chronicle the
death of three most estimable Hawaiian
clergymen; one, Rev. W. P. Kahale.
late of Wailuku, died March 9th, a retired pastor; one, Rev. G. Leleo, died
March Uth, a returned missionary ; and
one, Rev. J. N. Paikuli of Waikane, died
March 19th, while in the midst of his
labors.
It may be said of these men that they
were progressive Hawaiians, another of
the conservative element, and a third
was a patient, self-sacrificing missionary. Mr. Kahale was as much a white
man as a native in his feelings. He
said to me once, and with a strong emphasis,—" Mr. Emerson, I am a white
man, I think, and I feel with you." He
seems to have had no race jealously.
He had such respect for his spiritual
teachers, among whom the lamented
Rev. W. P. Alexander was chief, that
he readily imbibed their spirit and doctrines. Mr. Kahale was a capable, energetic and fearless man, a man of much
refinement and of a commanding presence.
He was a man of large capacity and
experience, and had the training of the
best schools of his day. First a teacher,
he was then a legislator, a judge, and
finally a minister of the Gospel. In the
last capacity, he was easily the foremost
figure in the Maui presbytery. Indeed
he was its scourge. Woe betide that
young pastor who did not stand with
due deference before his superiors.
No infelicities in the order and discharge of the business of the Presbytery could escape his notice. He was a
most loveable man, a gracious, courtly
and generous host, thoughtful of his
family and true in all his relations.
Of the Rev. Mr. Paikuli, it may be"
said that he was less amenable to the
influence of his white brethren. He
did not naturally cultivate their refinements. He was not given to taking tinbroader view. He was often governed
by his prejudices. But he was, we believe, a most worthy and spiritually
minded, though sometimes a mistaken
man.
He was remarkable for the intensity
of his feelings.
He was tender and
generous as a friend and severe as an
opponent. When once he got the truth
he griped it with a tenacious hold. At
times the force of a single truth, or a
narrow view of the truth, would so possess him as to make his speech eloquent.
Both of these men we mourn as beloved
friends, and we wish that there were
many more possessed of as worth}' and
truth-loving a spirit.
Rev. Mr. Leleo was a faithful, capable,
self-sacrificing missionary to the Gilbert
Islands where he labored for sixteen
years ; first at Tarawa, then at Nonouti,
and finally at Apaiang. Owing to failing health he returned to the Hawaiian
Islands in KSB4; and during these last
years of his residence among us he has
been afflicted with blindness.
The following letter was received last
year, some months after the meeting of
the Evangelical Association of the group.
In view of the fact that, at the most,
but one or two delegates could be
reasonably chosen, it was thought best
not to lay the matter before the Island
Associations. And since action in the
matter could not be deferred till the Annual Meeting of June of this year, the
Hawaiian Board, which is the Executive
Committee of the Evangelical Asso
ciation, took the matter in hand and appointed as its Delegate the Hon. Lawrence McCully, First Assistant Justice
of the Supreme Court.
The Board feels itself fortunate in
securing so able and acceptable a representative. The Judge and his family
having previously determined on a continental tour can now combine service
with pleasure. Mrs. McCully and daughter have already gone east, and the
Judge expects soon to follow them.

Rev. 0. P. Emerson,
Honolulu, H. I.
Dear Sir: —You will doubtless have
heard that it is proposed to hold an International Council of Congregationalists
in London during July, 1891.
We are indebted to the Rev. Henry
A. Hazen of Boston, U. S. A., for information respecting your Body and I
am instructed to ask if at your next
meeting you will take into consideration
the advisability of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association being represented, and
if so, kindly forward me the names and
addresses of the brethren appointed to
represent ) our Bod}
.
Should there be any subject that you
wish to have brought forward kindly
send me particulars. As you see from
the annexed the Council will be a limited representative and deliberative Body
rather than a popular and general Assembly. It is therefore highly important
that those who are appointed should be
strictly and properly representative. The
annexed minute has been so far modified
that there will be one Chairman for the
Council and several Assistants.
Yours very truly,
(Signed)

from Minutes of Committee,

Re International Council.
Submitted ad interim Report of the
Special Committee on the projected International Council, when the following
—
Propositions were agreed to:
1. That the Conference be summoned
for a week in the first half of the month
of July, 1891, and meet in London.
"2. That the sessions be continued
throughout an entire week, and that, il
practicable, arrangements be made for
special services on the Sunday preceding
and the Sunday following the meetings.
3. That the Autumnal Meeting for
that year be held as usual, on the
grounds (i) that, as at present proposed,
only a very small number of members of
the Union will be present at the Council
in a representative capacity, and (ii) that
questions may be raised in the Council
which it will be desirable to submit to
the Assembly of the Union at the earliest
possible opportunity.
4. (a) That the Council be a deliberative, rather than of a popular character;
but that popular meetings, both central
and district, be held in connection with
it: and that arrangements be made as
practicable for the occupation of leading
pulpits in London and the country by
representative men from America, the
Colonies, and elsewhere.
(b) That the Council consist of about
30(1 members, ministerial and lay —say
100 for England, 100 for the United
States of America, ?nd 100 for Wales,
Ireland, Scotland, the Colonies, and the
rest of the World.
(c) That, taking the number 100 for
England as a round number, it be made
up as follows: (1) The members of the
Special Committee now reporting 14 in
number, or such of them as act on the
Committee, to be members of the Council ex officio; 2ft to be appointed by the
Committee of the Union; 40 to be appointed by the Council of the Church

Sunday Evening Meetings.
For some time past the younger members of the Association have been taking
a more active part in the Sunday evening meetings and the good result is
quite apparent, in the steady increase in
interest and numbers.
The earnest, honest words of young
men spoken for the glory of the Mister
will draw other young men and will do
good. Let the good work go on. The
meetings are held every .Sunday at halfpast six o'clock, and close in time to
attend the church services. The topics
for the month will be as follows:
April 5. —Temperance.
April 12.—A Rescue and a Song.
Ps. 40:1 10.
April 19.—A Secret and How to Find
it Out. Ps. 26:14, Eph. 1:17-20.
April 26.—The All-Powerful Name.
Acts 4:7 22.
In Convention.
One of the most notable gatherings
this year for Association men will be
the International < onvention, which will
convene in Kansas City, Mo., May 9 I-■
This will be preceded by the Secretaries' Conference to be held in St. Joseph,
Mo., April 30 to May ). Both of these
gatherings are of great value to any
man engaged in Association work.
Plans of work are discussed, new methods projected, individual views broadened and a personal inspiration gained
that cannot be found elsewhere. The
writer had expected to share in the pecu
liar blessings of the above, but circum
stances beyond our control have rendered an adverse decision.
Y. M. C. A. Boys.
While the Y. M. C. A. Boys are always glad to listen to interesting dis-
criptions of other countries, yet they
manifest an intense interest in any thing
new concerning their own Sea-girt
Isles. Last month they were treated
to something new, entertaining and instructive by Mr. Joseph Emerson, of the
Government Survey Department who
had just returned from a six month's
camping trip, being engaged in surveying the Kona coast on the island of
Hawaii. The subject of the address
was "Roughest Hawaii," and it seemed
most appropriately applied to that portion of country, or to the necessary experience of both man and beast in traveling over its wild and unfrequented
surface.
Monthly Meeting.
The last monthly meeting was held
March 19, with President Walker in the
chair. The meeting was not largely
attended especially by the older members, some of whom were chairmen of
committees. Those present reported,
and some remarks were made by the
President and others. Two new members were elected. A committee of three
consisting of Messrs. J. B. Atherton, W.
W. Hall and 11. W. Peck were appointed to prepare a list of names to be voted
upon at the next meeting as officers of
the Association for the coming year,
which begins May Ist.
The monthly meeting of April comes
on the 16th, when the annual election
of officers will take place. The Anniversary gathering with reports, addresses, announcements of committees for
the new year, etc., will come a week or
two later.
Lecture.
On Friday evening, March <>lh. the
members and friends of the Association
turned out in large numbers to a lecture
kindly delivered by His Excellency John
L. Stevens, U. S. Minister Resident.
The subject was -'The Countries of the
Rio dc la Plata." Mr. Stevens had resided at Montevideo for three years
while a Diplomatic Representative of
the United States, so he was thoroughly
acquainted with the countries described
and the moral and political conditions
of the people. The lecture was very
interesting and from it could be drawn
many exceedingly valuable lessons for
local application and profit.
One Cause of Depression.
"Very few persons realize what an
enormous drain the saloons are making
upon the resources of the country.
These dens are collecting an annual
tribute of from $12 to $14 apiece on an
average from ever}' man, woman and
child in the land, and in return for this
they are supplying
their customers with that which is worse
than useless to them. As most of the
money which passes over the saloon
bar comes out of the pockets of persons
of moderate means, it leaves them less
able to purchase necessaries for themselves and their families. The farmer,
the tailor, the shoemaker and the general storekeeper, suffer directly in the
loss of a market amounting to from
$700,000,(100 to $'.100,000,000 every year,
on account of the money having been
spent for liquor instead of going for
bread and butter, eggs, milk, meat and
clothes. The farmer gets back a percentage of his loss by finding a market
at the brewery and distillery for grnm
and hops, but it must be only a small
percentage, because one dollar's worth
of grain will make many dollars' worth
immense revenue,
of beer or whiskey at retail prices. To
persons engaged in other business the
money spent by their customers in the
saloon is a pretty clean loss."
The above editorial, from an Eastern
newspaper, contains a great truth worthy the careful consideration of every
person inclined to raise the cry of "hard
times," whether in America, Hawaii or
any other civilized land. Let the money
now absorbed by the liquor traffic in
Honolulu, be turned into the avenues of
legitimate trade; business would at once
be quickened, while cheer and comfort
would come into a goodly number of
hearts and homes now despoiled by the
drink curse.
In the ruins of Pompeii there was
found a petrified woman, who, instead
of trying to fly from the destroyed city,
had spent her time in gathering dp her
jewels. She saved neither her life nor
jewels There are multitudes making
the same mistake. In trying to get
earth and heaven they lose both. "Ye
cannot serve God and mammon."
At a recent meeting an evangelist
said: "An aged Christian woman was
asked, 'Are you never troubled by the
devil that you are always so cheerful ?'
'O yes, he often comes to my door, but
I never bid him come in, nor give him
a stool to sit on.' "
Our Real Friends.
It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell a man of his faults. If you
are angi v with a man it is not hard to
go to him and stab him with words and
looks, stinging him to madness, or disgracing him in the presence of his foes.
But so to love a man that you cannot
hear to see the stain of sin upon him,
and go to him alone and speak painful
truths in touching, tender words, —that
is friendship, and a friendship as rare as
it is precious. Few, indeed, have such
friends. Our friends are apt to pet us
and llatter us, and justify us in all we
do, and tell us that we are right when
we are wrong, and they know it, and
might correct us, but do not for fear they
shall hurt our feelings.
The Bishop Museum.
We learn that the objects of Hawaiian antiquity and art, now in progress of
arrangement by Prof. Brigham, will
more than fill the splendid new building. Mr. Bishop has accordingly determined to proceed with the erection of
a large addition, to be occupied with
similar objects representing the other
islands of Oceanica. Negotiations are
already in progress for extensive acquisitions by exchange and purchase
from collections in Australia and New
Zealand.

Spain. "F"or a week the Spanish press
has been ringing with the news of a
sanguinary encounter between the
Spanish troops and the natives, in the
latter part of November. This news
seems to have been first received in the
brief dispatches via San Francisco and
London, but is confirmed and amplified
by letters from Manila received in
Madrid on the twelfth of January, and
which have just appeared in the Madrid
papers.
"On the twenty-second of November,
active operations began. The attack
was made at Metalanim. The landing
of the troops was effected with difficulty,
in water up to the waist, and the advance on land was no less difficult,
through swamps and almost impenetrable thickets, and over impassable roads.
"When the troops met the main body
of the natives, they were found strongly
lodged behind a triple line of intrenchments. The first was of stone, nearly
five feet high, and flanked by a deep
ditch; then a space covered with bushes,
in which were concealed snares and
thorns and broken glass, to pass over
which caused cruel wounds to the feet
and legs of the soldiers; and, lastly, a
palisade, strongly built of trunks of trees
and bamboos, and another ditch. All
this we took, Bays the chronicle of El
Globo; all fell into our hands by a skillful f)ank movement not expected by the
Methodist Yankees, who undoubtedly
directed the defense: but it cost the lives
of eight)' men, and some of the paper!
insist that in the different columns
operating against the natives during
those three or four days, not less than
three hundred of the Government troops
lost their lives."
"The Spanish press is greatly excited
over the news, and there is much bitterness of feeling at the thought of good
Spanish blood being shed by those
'savages,' and the demand is made that
it should he promptly avenged."
El Globo says: " Listening to the
voice of patriotism, let us not stop to
ask what profit there may be to us in a
sovereignty gained and exercised at
such great cost. Nor will we stop to
throw the responsibility on this or that
political part)': but in view of the attitude
of the Methodists [sic], before expelling
them we must demand from the Government at Washington such indemnity as
is reported the)' are claiming of us !
"We strenuously oppose the fatal system of sending repeated but insufficient
re-enforcements, which only serve the
purpose of slaughtering Spanish soldiers
and of spending enormous sums of
the American missionaries as the cause
of all the trouble."
Our readers will remember that the
last remaining members of the American
Mission at Ponape, alias "Methodist
Yankees," had been removed to Kusaie
by the U. S. S. Alliance one month before the military operations described
above, and therefore could have had no
part in the resistance made by the natives. On the contrary, our missionaries have always earnestly counselled
the Ponape natives to submit to their
Spanish rulers.
We can only pray that God will interpose for the deliverance of the oppressed
Christian people of Ponape. No human
help is in sight for them.

from the Czar of Ruya in 1863, a great
enlargement of its constitutional privileges. E. B. Lanin in the Fortnightly
Review makes some important statements of the excellent results of this liberal government. " Finland," he says,
assuredly the best-governed country
"inisEurope."
During the previous halfcentury, drunkenness was the bane of
that country, as it still is the ruin of
Russia.
The Finnish Diet, however,
fearlessly tackled the Hydra with very
simple weapons ; local option for the
country districts, control and restrictive
measures for the cities, encouragement
offered to all societies doing battle with
intemperance ; and the rapid spread of
education and instruction." The country communes absolutely forbade the
sale of alcoholic liquors in the rural districts. " You might now travel on foot
from Terrioke to Tornea, from Kepola to
Geta without meeting or hearing of a
single drunken man, and if you were
dying of exhaustion, the chances are
that you could not purchase a thimbleful
of spirits."
In eight towns, spirits arc sold under
the most stringent restrictions ; drunkenness is rendered easy to deal with, and
all public-houses arc closed on fair and
market days and popular holidays.
Many private societies are doing most
efficient work, some to bring about total
and universal abstinence, others to provide attractive refreshment-rooms, cosy
coffee-houses,
well-lighted
readingrooms, etc., to keep the tempted from
the evil. Other societies run publichouses themselves under rigid inspection, with pure liquors and perfect good
order. At Helsingfors a palatial library
and reading-room is open, to which the
money."
Mr. Gulick adds: "This from El workmen flock in thousands in autumn
Globo, which was so just and moderate and winter.
on the occasion of the insurrection of The public schools of Finland both
"
in literature." Immense impetus has
been given to agriculture and handicraft
among the peasantry by technical and
agricultural schools. The best agricultural machines and implements are in
general use. A network of 1,400 miles
of railway is run by the State. There
are few large landholders. Ninety-nine
per cent, are peasant and small proprietors. Finland seems to be indeed a
wonderfully well-ordered country.
A
Jewish
Defense of Christianity.
The Brooklyn Eagle of December 23rd
contains an argument made by Jews in
defense of Christianity, from which we
give the following extracts:
* * Could a fraud or delusion have
stood the trials and tests which Christianity has stood and have held its
ground in every instance, and have gone
forward with giant strides, till it is now
the most liberal and progressive religion
that the world has ever seen, a religion
adapted to even country and every people upon this globe? Other religions
are, and have been, always sectional,
each having its own special district or
country (Judaism alone excepted), and
although we do not believe the Christians are right, we must nevertheless
wonder al the rapid progress and the
gigantic proportions to which the Christian religion has grown. What would
this world have been if the Christian
religion had not come into it ? Judaism
would certainly not have developed into
such a grand and sweeping system.
We Jews were but a handful of the
world's population, and we were always
a secluded people, keeping to ourselves
and looking at other nations as inferior,
not trying to raise others above paganism, but shunning and'despising them.
Christianity, on the other hand, is seeking out every nation and people, converting and making them better, and we
Jews to-day enjoy the greatest benefits
in countries where the people live the
nearest to the teachings of their leader,
Jesus Christ. Be he a myth or a reality,
his teachings, without doubt, improve
all who follow them. Then the Christian religion shows no sign of weakness,
but is stronger than ever, and gaining in
strength, while all the other religions are
on the decline, receding before the rapid
advance of Christianity.
* * Since the time of Christ there
has not arisen among us one prophet to
oppose Christ as an impostor. * * * It
is a very common thing for us to say
that such a person as Jesus Christ did
never exist, * * while there is very
good evidence to prove that he did live,
and that he came just at the time when
the Jewish nation were looking for the
•
�THE FRIEND.
* * Now we as
honest, free-thinking men, admit that
we are in doubt, and if any one can
prove that the Messiah is yet to come,
we would very much like to hear from

Willing to Contract Leprosy.
The other day, a statement was read
to us from an official letter to the Board
of Health, from their excellent physician
;tt the leper settlement, to the effect that
several of the kokuas or private helpers
there had applied to him to inoculate
them with the virus, in order to become
lepers, and so entitled to free government rations.
He was certain that he
could any day get twenty men to be
made lepers, in older to live in comfort
without labor on the beautiful lands of
Kalaupapa.
It seems likely that these people, who
had been so willing to live with the
lepers who hire them, represent only
thai class of natives who aie most careless about the disease. We would not
impute such feelings to the great body
of the native people. But it is distressing to think of any persons so insensible
to the loathsomeness of the malady and
of its ultimate fatality as actually to
desire to contract it for the sake ot a
tew years of idle comfort.,
Quite parallel to this debased disposition, however, is one found among our
enlightened and cultivated .people, such
as read about those kvkuas with wondering disgust. Among white men of cultivation, there prevails an evil disease
called Dipsomania. The victim of it is
afflicted with an oft-recurring craving
for alcoholic drink which is practically
irresistible. These persons, in spite of
the best resolutions and the kindest in-
In
its external effects this malady is often
even more disgusting than leprosy, and
generally renders its victim a much
more disagreeable member of society,
and far more dangerous.
Dipsomania is contracted by the process of frequent indulgence in the use of
beer, wine, brandy, whiskey, and other
common alcoholic beverages. A large
proportion of Dipsomaniacs become
such gradually in the course of what
they consider a moderate and temperate
use of those drinks. The appetite insidiously grew with the habit of drinking: larger quantities became necessary
to slake thirst and brace up the nerves.
Before they were aware, the nervous
system itself became diseased in a hopeless manner, and Dipsomania became
established in the system.
Xow, the parallel to those poor kokuas
which we find among enlightened people
in society is this: that large numbers of
them expose themselves and their children to this shameful disease of Dipsomania in the most reckless manner.
One meets daily on the street young
men of fine social pretensions whose
complexion and breath show that they
are habitual drinkers. They are cheerfully- getting inoculated with Dipsomania for the sake of the comfort of
"bracing up." It is certain that some
—probably many—of them will be destroyed by it, in a most shameful and
pitiable manner. There are quite a
number of disgusting wrecks about town
in advanced stages of the disease, who,
a few years ago, carried their heads as
high as any of our cheerful young imbibers.
Strangest of all, cultured parents are
found actually teaching their children to
use wine and ale in a "temperate"
manner, yet so as to endanger a fixed
appetite for alcohol. They would shudder at the thought of a leper washing
NUMIIER 5.

those children's clothes, yet calmly expose them to a worse disease. A friend
said to us lately, "I would far rather
have my son a leper, than to have him a
drunkard," and we heartily agree with
him. One destroys only the body; the
other, both body and soul.
The truth is, that most white people
have got enlightened enough to abhor
leprosy, and to wonder at people who
are willing to contract that disease. But
they are still in a state of dense obtuseness about the more shameful and disA
tressing disease of Dipsomania.
hundred years ago, it was considered
quite the thing for gentlemen to be
drunk every night. A century hence,
we believe that a leper will be sooner
tolerated in decent society than any
man who habitually uses, or who deals
in alcoholic stimulants. Let us not
look down too disdainfully on those poor
kokuas at Kalaupapa, so long as we
show little more sense.
Heathen Braises oe Royalty.—Mr.
Walkup's graphic allusions to the heathen choir of King Tembinoka of Apemama, sent to seduce the Tarawa king
back to paganism, are very suggestive.
We have seen a good deal of such deviltries in Hawaii. Heathen princes enjoy
being treated as gods or Lanis. All
this is incompatible with civilized government.
We are glad to say that we hear of
nothing of this sort in the court of
Liliuokalani, who, we trust, will
ever deserve the esteem and confidence
of her foreign and native subjects.
The Bishop Museum.—A stolen
glance into the building, the other day,
revealed an interior of most rich and
elaborate cabinet work, glass cases and
tiled floors. Many important objects
were in place, such as kahilis and carved
work. Great quantities of curiosities
were awaiting arrangement. Of such
there is a wonderful wealth and variety.
The main school building makai of
the Museum is fast approaching completion. It will be a leading specimen
of Honolulu architecture.

Rev. O. P. Emerson,

The Portuguese mission in Hilo, Hawaii, under the charge of Robert K.
Baptist, has been steadily growing in
importance. Quite a congregation and
Sabbath School have been gathered.
It has been decided that this mission
must have a habitation and a name. A
lot must be purchased and a chapel
erected. Some $1,750 have been raised
for the purpose, and about $1,250 more
are needed. This is a cause which
should appeal to all who love the truth
and who are friendly to our Portuguese
neighbors. There is urgent reason for
prompt action in this matter. Who of
our friends will forthwith respond to the
appeal which we now make for help?
We have word from the Rooms of the
A.B.C.F.M. (March 28th) that "definite
information" has been received "of a
further conflict between the Spaniards
and the Ponapeans, in which, as usual,
the loss of life was very great on the
part of the Spaniards and very slight on
the part of the Islanders. Mr. Rand
estimates the number of Spaniards who
have lost their lives thus far in the war
between four and five hundred, and
the natives scarcely more than one or
o score."
t
For our April issue we wrote, " It
may be said of these men (Revs. Kaliale,
Paikuli and Leleo), that they were representative Hawaiians; one of the progressive and another of the conservative
element, and a third was a patient, selfsacrificing missionary." By a mistake
it was printed otherwise, so the point
we had in view was lost.
On the Sabbath of the 20th of April,
M. Kzera, a student of four years
standing in the Institute, was ordained
and installed pastor of the church at
Ewa of this island.
All the native pastors on the island,
with one exception, were present, and
there was also a congregation of over a
hundred. The examination, which began at 10 a. M., was well sustained.
Immediately after came the services.
Rev. Dr. Hyde preaching the sermon
for his pupil. From first to last the
services held the close attention of the
audience and were full of profit and ol
interest. The Kwa church has a good
house of worship and parsonage, and
we believe, now, after waiting two years,
a good pastor, and if, in the growth ol
Pearl City or of Honouliuli Plantation
Hawaiians become more plentiful in thai
region, this church which was ministered to for so long a time by our departed father Bishop has still a hopeful fu-

THE FRIEND.
We print below the report which Mr.
Walkup sends of his late tour through
the Gilbert Islands. It gives both an
interesting and a hopeful view of the
work. Mr. Walkup's present address
is Munda, Ills.
Gilbert Island Tour, 1890.
In going out without a launch it
seemed best to be left at Apaiang and
visit Tarawa from there in a sailing
boat, before return of Morning Star for
the first tour.
Mr. Channon took Catechist Taing
and seven of his schoolboys to Kusaie.
This Taing, assisted by Mr. Boari, had
had a day school of eighty in the Mission yard, ami some twenty of the young
men and women living in the Mission
yard. This school showed goml work
mentally, but play and lewd wrestling
had hindered the moral and spiritual
development.
After the Morning Star had gone I
heard that Taing had been suspected.
and investigation brought out the fact
that he had sinned; also, at least one
boy—like himself unworthy to go to
Kusaie (when the rumor got out at Kusaie he denied it, until my arrival, when
he owned it and told me more than I
knew).
Catechist Teraoi had another school
five miles away of (15, which showed
the best drill and most of the Spirit's influence of any school I have visited.
Beside these schools were six others,
but they were not supplied with books—
thus the progress was slow. All the
books had been sold
$135 worth.
Then I had $70 worth more of books
which I sold, yet the 310 scholars are
not supplied.
On the tour of the Island we visited
twelve villages, and neatly all the
younger people wish to become Christians. Surely the whole of Apaiang is
"white already to harvest."
In the mission village we held meetings twice a day, with several hundred
enquirers. Nearly all the backslidden
church members asked to be helped.
Then forty-seven others not enrolled,
reported themselves as baptized, and
wished to be enrolled. (Some had been
baptized on Apaiang and some elsewhere, while one had been baptized
twice or thrice.) There are now on the
roll 550 names: of these 355 are living
on Apaiang (twenty-nine on Tarawa),
but only I9H are in regular standing,
and 110 communed.
Our first Gilbert Island Minister, Rev.
M. Kaure (ordained at Honolulu), takes
charge of this fold. This brother takes
hold of tbe work with a zeal that I trust
is the work of the Holy Spirit, and the
people showed their appreciation by subscribing $300 as his support. Twelve
candidates were baptized while fifty one
renewed their covenant. Several couples
wish to be trained at Kusaie for Christian workers. A "Woman's Board" of
—
over 1011 members are to send two
Bible-readers to each villagr and house.
The King will support the -ix schools,
and has proclaimed a compulsory school
law. Much cobra had been collected
for the Watchman (the name of the pro-
posed launch).
Tarawa I was anxious about, as the
measles quarantine hindered the visit
last year. Catechist Tibwere had held
a school of forty, standing linn; while
loane, Turubo (Catechist) had got under
a cloud and his school suit -red, while
Betero, not intellectual enough to keep
up a school, had two church buildings
under way.
The king and his goven •tent slack.
His secretary having lost the written
laws, be wished them written in his
book. He and his chiefs dictated twentyfour, and they were written in red ink.
On our first tour we visited ten villages,
and had large congregations. Most of
the church members reported themselves
and their condition, backslidden or firm.
Then hundreds of enquirer- wished to
be taught. Surely another field white.
Returning to Apaiang to meet the Morning Star we heard of an enemy sowing
tares. Thus we returned when the
Morning Star was overdue. The enemy
was a company sent by King Binoka of
Apemama—Satan's tool. The business
of this party of twenty was first, to rehearse and dance a poem, extolling the
King of Tarawa and a mistress (concubine) King Binoka sent him; second,
to advise him to keep above the teachers, and not listen to them, or "do as
I do."
They arrived just after the new code
of laws had been ratified and celebrated
with great pomp. The laws had been
read and approved by uplifted hands of
the people, then a march up and down
the newly graded street as many times
as each had a change of clothes (three
long processions.) The poem was talked
about, and the laws mentioned, but the
King's vanity overcame him, and he
decided as they advised, that they, the
foreigners, were strangers, and the law
did not apply to them. Thus they were
feasted and listened to, and the King took
them all along the island for his people
to hear of his renown and to feast them.
On their arrival at the village where
Tibwere has his school, and were about
to enter the "big house" they saw a
table with books, and got frightened and
left. (These dancers were church members once, but King Binoka frightened
them into dancing.) Tibwere, who had
already rebuked the King, was blamed,
and the King, spurred on by his guests,
caught up a rumor, and said Tibweie
must leave and the School disband. I
arrived just in time, and had the King
investigate the charges against him
(Tibwere), and when he found no truth
in the rumors, I had a good opportunity
to instruct him and ask which he would
serve, Binoka or Jehovah, when he
answered Jehovah, I read 2 John 10, 11.

On Marakei there had been much
heathenism. Traders bad been selling
the natives liquor, but hail been rebuked
and reported by U. S. Cum. Agent. A.
Rick, to Secretary of Navy, asking for
a U. S. Man-of-war to visit the group.
Then word of my touring on Apaiang
and Tarawa had reached them, and
also that I would make a tour of Marakei. Thus the traders stopped selling
liquor and Rev. Kanoho and the few
faithful members were encouraged and
started six schools. Hearing the news
on Tarawa, and having a fair wind, we
made Maraki i in the open boat. The
leading trader visited me and said they
would nut sell liquor, and would abidt
by any laws that the chiefs would make.
I first had a service with the church,
then one with the chiefs-from Isaiah's

REMARKS IN GENERAL.
The '•Morning Star" was a
month or 4 weeks late to* commence
what was to be the first tour, leaving
Kusaie Oct. 10, touching at Jaluij for
coal and using it up, in reaching Apaiang lit day s out.
Then November is the time for our
westerly winds and winter, when we
have a winter. So while we were at
Maiana, with no passage into Lagoon
deep enough for the "Morning Star,"
she had to put to sea, and then on coming back to supply the teachers, had to
go to Tarawa for shelter, six days more
blowing a gale. This storm changed the
current from running westto running east
r
( >0 or GO miles a day. Between Maiana
and Apemama one boiler burst.
The '•Morning Star" was light and
commenced taking ballast at Tarawa;
then 5 loads at Marakei; thus on between Tapiteuea and Banaba only 306
miles, but current against us, and light
winds favorable. Coal could not be
spared for steaming (but the two engineers' wages vver. tbe same.) Using
ten days when most years one and onehalf days would take us there. At Banaba tile '•Morning Star" took several
tons rock ballast and started steaming

late. Another strong west wind came

up and detained us, tossing about two
weeks. If we could have steamed on
leaving Tapiteuea we should have been
three weeks ahead and away from Pleasant Island before the* west wind, which
would have helped us either back to Tapiteuea or on to Kusaie (N.N.W.course).
On leaving Pleasant Island, returning
to Tapiteuea as planned, was out of the
question for two reasons: one, Miss
Smith had suffered so much already she
could not stand more voyaging—then no
time. We have used thirteen weeks,
instead of nine planned, out of nineteen
weeks for Gilbert Island; then the four
weeks detention must come out somewhere.
About two weeks left and Captain
Garland thinks he can stretch out his
supplies a week or two, say four weeks
more at most. Only two to go to Apaiang for manuscript. What have I ac
complished ? I have had out of the thirteen weeks only twenty-four days at the
islands (including four sabbaths) while
the "Morning Star" was sixty-nine days
making a distance of less than 2,000 M.,
less than thirty miles a day instead of
100 that the "Star" ought to average, if
she had auxiliary power worth mentioning.
Just one more example of the "Morning Star's" speed, Feb. 16. She left
Butaritari for the Marshalls, head wind.
Feb. 17th I left on "Equator" just twenty-four hours later, for San Francisco.
Feb. 18th. After sailing twenty-four
hours making twenty miles to Fast, we
sighted the "Morning Star" ten miles
to the leeward, and left them.
You can imagine how Captain Garland, Dr. Pease and party felt about it.
2nd. Encouragements. To see what
I saw in those twelve weeks on the
white fields of Apaiang and Tarawa.
The former was our home in 1880-1882,
and the little children that were so cunning, and used to run and roll in the
sand, are now young people working
either for or against, with so many enlisted now for Christ. Then on Nonouti, the work that I became so acquainted
with, in those seventeen weeks last year
is moving on nicely. Also other Islands
are waiting for the .same help, as Marakei,Makin, Butaritari, Banaba, Pleasant
Island; then Maiana, with Tapiteuea
would soon be white with plenty of
faithful work, while Apemama, Kuria
and Aranuka people would all welcome
us, if the King Binoka was turned, or
out of the way.
Then the Hawaiian Missionaries now
on the field, seem to be awakened to a
need of work. The two Gilbert Island
ministers apprexiate their sacred calling,
and go to work with a holy zeal, with
so many of the other teachers faithful.
Paul not only mentions "De*mas hath
forsaken me, but all men forsook me."

and prospects. 1 regret greatly that I
missed that twelve weeks' visit planned
for Tapiteuea. Now I hear the Roman
Catholic priests have gone over from
Nonouti to catch and hold in ignorance
all they can. Two of the Hawaiian
missionaries on the field are quite old,
and have been long on the islands and
need rest. Then I was disappointed
that only two of the catechist! seemed
to have a call for ordination where I bad
hoped that four or five might be. One
of the married teachers left—Demas

went into sin, and will have a term of
probation before teaching. Then this

assistant, proving a rascal and thus
crippling the school work. Then Mr.

that I recommended from Apaiang, as
she touches there to get the revised
manuscript for O. T. That training
school ought to have two families and
from seventy to 100 scholars in training
for the 25,000 people we must guide.
Then the "Girls' School," to lose Miss
Smith as she is ready to do the best
work. Then what is the taking of only
sixteen girls in comparison with our
future need for women helpers, not to
say now. There are five boys that
would do better if they had helpmates
at once. Yes, fifty girls from the Gilbert Islands would be few enough.
One item in connection with the
measles last year. The Morning Star
only left them at Apaiang, but a labor
vessel brought them also, and they have
been to every island except Banaba.
Over 1,000 are reported mostly by count
to have died either of the measles or
after effects, 500 in Tapiteuea, 250 on
Nonouti (seventy in one village), 110 on
Tarawa, 101 on Apaiang, thirty on Marakie, and so on, but only two or three
on Pleasant Island and very few on Butaritari. The quarantine was useless,
as I said then, as they would be carried
to Tarawa on canoes and on to Marakie, and then on and on.
This going from island to island in
open boats is dangerous voyaging. The
King of Apaiang kindly offered us his
large $400 boat (30 ft. boat), wide beam.
Then the princess visited with us, her
relatives, the former royal family of Tarawa. In returning, while crossing the
channel of only seven miles and leading
wind, we were carried by current nearly
past Apaiang, so it took us beating and
rowing nineteen hours, when we ought
to have been not over six. After that
[May, 18D1.
we took warning to go only with the
fairest wind.
A. C. Wai KIT.
Bishop Walkup.—The devoted and
very fruitful labors of Rev. A. C. Walkup in the Gilbert Islands, during the past
two years, illustrate the value of a genuine Episcopal supervision and stimulus
upon native pastors and catechists.
Brother Walkup possesses much experience, active force and a warm heart.
He seems also to be sensibly endowed
with the Holy Spirit's power, by no figment of "Apostolic Succession," but as
every servant of God may be, like Coan,
Lyons or Lowell Smith. He seems to
have conveyed a revival work through
the group, and to have left schools and
churches in a lively condition, with
heathen chantings and abominations
quailing before the power of the Gospel.
It will evidently make an immense difference with the Gilbert work during the
next ten years, whether the catechists
and preachers trained in the school at
Kusaie shall enjoy frequent and competent Episcopal visitation or not during
that time. Left to themselves, or with
only an annual hasty call, they will accomplish little in comparison with what
they will do under efficient leadership.
We do not feel able to judge whether
Mr. Walkup's plan for a steam launch
is the best one for promoting such visitations, but it is to he hoped that some
such facility may be provided to enable
the needed visitations to be made.
Crippled Morning Star.—Our
missionary
ship, thanks to Boston
poor
bungling, was never half a sailer, and
never had but a few sheep-power of
steam, which two engineers had all they
could do to keep in order. Now that
one boiler has given out, she is nearly
unable to work against wind and current
at all. In these days of triple compound engines and deck bolsters, such
as our swift Hawaii coasters are fitted
with, it is simply a disgrace to have our
Sttir creeping about with her blunt lines
and botchy engine: Not even a donkeyengine to hoist in her boats, or lift her
anchors. We hope the next Star will
be built in California, where they know
how to make ships.
The
Prof. Huxley's animadversions upon
the great scheme of General Booth are
published in a volume entitled "Social
Diseases and Worse Remedies." The
book bears the motto, "Six-penny-worth
of good, and a shilling's worth of harm,"
beneath which (significantly, the Pall
Mall Gazette thinks) is the intimation,
"Price, one shilling net."

Rev. Luther Halsey Gulick. M. D.
We hear, with great sorrow, of the
death of this dear and honored brother,
April Bth, at the house of his son, Dr.
Luther Gulick, at Springfield, Mass.
He had been, for more than a year, in
broken health, the effect of a life of
arduous missionary toil in many lands,
He was the oldest child of Rev. Peter J.
and Mrs. Fanny H. T. Gulick, born in
Honolulu, June 10, 1828. Graduating
from the N. Y. University Medical College in 1850, and having also taken a
theological course and received ordination in 18'il, he sailed, November iMh,
from Boston with Rev. Messrs. Snow
and Sturges for the Caroline Islands,
via Honolulu. He had been married,
October 29th, to Miss Louisa Lewis of
New York City. After a visit in this his
native land, during which he was the
chief organizer of the Hawaiian Mission
Children's Society, he left, July 15, 18452,
for Ponape, where he began pioneer
work with Mr. Sturges, Mr. Snow being
stationed at Kusaie. Mr. and Mrs.
Gulick there experienced many privations, and were active in labors, gaining
most important experience in missionary
work and the native character. About
1860, Dr. Gulick joined Rev. Dr. Pierson at Ebon to initiate the Mission to
the Marshall Islands.
Recuperation
being needed, he came with his family
to Honolulu in 1681, going on to the
States that year. He at once (lis

the meetings which were held from May

The weather was

the meetings which continued to deepen
and widen until the close. Hesides
those started heavenward for the first
time, many already on the way received
a spiritual uplift that has made them
happier Christians and more useful
during tbe year.
Our old friend H. J. McCoy, General
Secretary of the San Francisco Association, came with Mr. Sayford for the
change and rest that a month in our
tropical city would give. His genial
presence and earnest words were an inspiration to all, and an element of power
in the meetings. The expenses of the
mission were defrayed by special subscription generously made by our Christian citizens interested m the work. So

Last spring, the committee on Temperance work was augmented by the
appointment of a special committee to

certain bills into the Legislature then in
session; also to prepare a statement of

The Committee for Visitation of the
Sick have called upon young men when
known to be sick whether members of
the Association or not, always ready to
render any service possible to those in
need. The Hospital has been visited
regularly, and such interest expressed
and words of cheer spoken as circumstances seemed to warrant. At the
Prison occasional visits have been made
and a few Sunday services held, but the
need for work there has been very fully

The increase of information abroad

hither, have attracted to our city a larger
number of nun in search of employment
during the past year than during any
previous year of our work. The efficient
and patient Chairman of the Kmploymcnt Committee has kept a pretty full

thirty-four of the above 22!) applicants
have found employment, seventeen (and
presumably more) have themselves
found employment, some of the balance
are still around town, while the majority
have probably scattered over the islands,
or passed on to more promising fields of
fortune. There have been many applications from strangers who came down
to this country to "try their luck;" it
has been much more difficult to help
them than it has skilled mechanics or
those who were accustomed to some
kind of plantation work, the calls being
principally for the latter class.
Not so many entertainments have
been given by the Association during
the past year as formerly, for the reasons that our small community has
seemed to he surfeited with entertainments of one kind and another; then
many of the young men for whose
pleasure and profit our entertainments
are provided, without charge to them,
and often including refreshments, seem
to prefer some kind of diversion that
costs them more but is worthless; and
again, we have not been so highly
favored with available talent among the
travelers and visitors last year as in
previous years.
The two lectures by Prof. W. T.
Hrigham on "Physical Culture" were
of a high order of merit, largely attended, and much appreciated. His Lxcellency John L. Stevens, U. S. Minister,
delivered an excellent lecture to a hall
full of interested listeners on the "Countries of the Rio dc la Plata" of South
America. A most able and instructive
lecture was delivered a few weeks ago
by Mr. F. M. English, P. A., who took
tor his subject " Rome— Past and Present," and had the deserved compliment
of a good audience on a bad evening.
One of the pleasantest socials held was
on the evening of October 22d, which
took the form of a Reception to a party
of Y. M. C. A. workers from California.
The Welcome Committee have done
good service as ushers, and been otherwise useful about the rooms, at the
meetings and other gatherings, especially in the earlier part of the year.
The Finance Committee have attended to their substantial duties in their
usual efficient manner, as indicated by
the nest-egg balance in the Treasurer's
report.
Upon the tables in the Reading Room
are to be found two daily newspapers,
thirty-seven weeklies (seven illustrated),
four monthlies and eight monthly magazines, making a total of fifty-one periodicals in four different languages. Five
of the above are contributed by friends,
the others paid for by the Association.
The work of the Hawaiian Branch,

away from the original lines on which it
was established. And for lack of nativespeaking leadership, according to the
report just read, it remains tor the Asso
ciation to decide at their next meeting
whether or no the Branch shall be
longer continued by this organization.
The Y. M.C.A. Boys have prospered
under the wise leadership of their President, Mrs. B. F. Dillingham. Some
capital "Talks" have been made by interested friends at their monthly meetings. The Boys have given one pay
entertainment, which was a grand success, and nicely refreshed their treasury,
from which they support a boy in Kamehameha School, and expect to enlarge
their missionary usefulness the coming
year.
There have been eleven business
meetings of the Association and twelve
meetings of the Board of Directors
during the year. Nineteen new members have been received, but those lost
by change of residence and from other
causes are sufficient to keep our membership from rising above the number of
last year, which was 13(1.
There is rarely a time, during day or
evening, when our rooms are without
visitors. The attempt at a daily count
throughout the year is a failure, here or
elsewhere, so far as accuracy is concerned, but an actual count for single,
but not exceptional, days recently made
shows the number of daily visits at the
rooms to be about eighty-five. That
seems a very good record for this city,
and especially when we remember there
is a Library Building with pleasant
rooms only just across the street.
For myself, and on behalf of the
Association, I desire to thank all the
friends who have so cordially and generously assisted in the work of the Association during the past year.

President of a year since: "What have
we accomplished in all these twelve
months ? Nothing, compared to what
we wish we had." Nothing, compared
to what we wish we had. Now, in such
a recurring thought as this, there is
ground for deep regret that more has
not been done, and ground for new resolve that we will endeavour to be more
faithful and energetic in the service of
our Lord and Saviour than we have
been, but also ground for earnestly hoping that, whatever our efforts (weak and
poor servants that we are) whatever our
efforts may have been, our wishes and
ambitions in God's service may ever
keep in advance of what we seem to be
able to perform, and that we shall never
rest satisfied that we have done enough.
Let us be satisfied with nothing less than
the verdict, not our own, that we have
done what we could.
Last year we reviewed briefly our history, with especial reference to the objects for work which had from time to
time occupied the attention of the Association. In some respects we can see,
with happiness and thankfulness, that
the good which we hoped to assist in doing has been done and is still being
done; the preaching of Mr. Gulick in
1869, and the meeting of 1873, when
Mr. Frank Damon so eloquently spoke,
and the Rev. Frank Thompson so warmly offered us the help of our Hilo friends,
on behalf of work amongst the Chinese
immigrants to this country, are events
of which the recollection is full of gladness: now, with the immigration of the
various races which since 1873 have
found a home here, has increased the
effort that they shall come not only to
obtain physical livelihood but to hear
the words of eternal life. But, whilst
there is encouragement in these things,
our retrospect also brings-us the thought
that much more has been hoped for than
we have done,—the warning that we
must make more endeavour yet, and not
rest. In 1870, at the close of our first

social relations, are so sparsely represented in the membership of this Association: and it is the earnest hope of the
retiring officers that coming years may
find the children of this country making
the Y. M. C. A. of Honolulu their own.
What is the Association ? Its object,
already quoted, is that of an assembly
of persons of various denominational
branches of the Church of Christ upon
the basis of their common fath, for work
together. May I remind you of our reference at an Annual meeting last year to
the brief statement of our articles of organization made at a very large assembly
in which the Bishop of the diocese,
clergymen of the Cathedral, the late
President of the Wesleyan Methodist
body in England, and many other clergymen and ministers of different Christian
denominations, took part, that one of
the great benefits of the Association was
the bringing together of men of varying
religious opinions with Christian fellowship ? And for what is our fellowship?
It is not only for the thankful consideration of the blessings which we enjoy
in common, but for the loyal carrying
forward of the Banner of our Lord
throughout the world, and to all people.
In this sense the Associations,-now
numbering over 3,700 throughout the
world, are often spoken of as recruiting
grounds for the army which is organized
in the Christian Church. In the great
spread of the Young Men's Associations
with this purpose there is cause for rejoicing; for the Church always needs recruits; it must be always the Church
militant: and its field of operation is
world-wide. A beautiful hymn says, describing this extent:
■As o'er each continent and island
"The dawn leads on another day,
"The voice of prayer is never silent,
"Nor dies the strain of praise away."
But the campaign, endless in this
world, for which we must furnish recruits
is as various in its phases as it is wide
in extent. Our duty in some respects is
clearly before us, and there can be no
mistake in our opposition to all that is
manifestly hostile to an observance of
Christianity. An indication, however,
of possible changes which we have to
encounter is afforded by the tendency,
evinced in the present age, towards a
personal construction of duty. When
theosophy is straining analogies and
testing chronologies to show us that
much in which we believe is Buddhism,
when even in Christian countries the
supposed moribund religion of the Cresent is assuming activity, and Mohammedan sanctuaries are being erected,
we feel that some special work is before
our Association as Christian associations,
and that the true liberty which we enjoy under the banner of our Lord should
not be misunderstood or misused.
In Honolulu it may be that we have

parasites upon the freedom which our
religion gives us; but, if we are to be

The Commonwealth of Australia.
— The
measures in progress for the
union of the Australasian Colonies into
one Federation appear to be approaching a successful conclusion. The Convention has adopted the name given
above for the new nation. It will be a
Republic resembling the United States
more than any other, and of fullest
Democratic forms. The Queen will
appoint a Governor-General, who will
have very limited powers, the Cabinet
being dependent on the Lower House.
The English virtues of the Australians guaranty the success and prosperity
of the new nation. They have been
making rapid progress in social and
civil reforms. As our great and not remote neighbor westward, their welfare
is of the deepest interest to us in Hawaii, and must intimately concern our
own future. Between the mightiest of

Condition of Kilauea.—Professor
Brigham has reported to the SurveyorGeneral upon the state of the volcano
before and since the recent collapse.
This report will appear in the American
Journal of Science. We have been
kindly permitted to cull from it the following facts:
Prof. B. was at Kilauea just before
covering about six acres. The most
active portion within the area of Halemaumau was at that time west of the
peaks, which, as we understand it, would
have been in the vicinity of Dana Lake.
On March Bth a slight earthquake
was felt at the Volcano House, while at
the half-way house in Kau the shakes
were quite severe and frequent. 'The
whole area of I lalemaumau then fell in,
making a pit of an estimated depth oi
add feet, with perpendicular walls forbidding descent. Prof. B. revisited the
All fire

Rising
.mil smoke had disappeared.
hot air prevented his photographs from
showing effectively the interior of the
pit. whose stratified walls gave an interesting object of Study. 'The dimensions
of the cavity were 2.50U by 5,000 feet,
with major axis lying K. and W., which
would imply that the area of the "New
Lake" of I*B3 86 was included in the
main pit. In the collapse of'B6, "New
Lake" formed a separate depression.
The bottom was filled with debris as
before.
No word has been received of any
lava flow appearing between Kilauea
and the sea. The lava which escaped
underground March 6th would seem to
have been distributed underneath eastern
Kau, producing, by its uplifting pressure, the earthquakes felt there.
Later.—The news brought by the
IT. G. Hall was that up to the '26th
inst., the bottom of the pit had filled up
about 10(1 feet, and a lake of liquid lava
formed some 250 to 300 feet in diameter.
This is the result of only ten days action.
The bottom of the pit was steadily rising and the size of the lake increasing,
and activity showing itself at new points
every day. The illumination was very
bright, being visible at night at Punaluu,
thirty miles away.—P. C. Advertiser.
The strength available for you this
day, and in every moment of your need,
the words, life, heart and soul of his
divine Master, and as it had flowed from
his lips, till age-worn and no longer able
to proclaim it orally, he made thia written record of it ;:s his legacy to the Christian ages till the end of time.
The Fourth Gospel, then, may be
space, we could give
John's. Had we
at great length, reasons why we feel sine
thai it ia his, and why we should know
it to ne his had it come down to us
anonymously; lor we do not believe that
any other man could have written it. If
there were ever written words so divine
that we can imagine them as uttered for
the human soul in a voice from the
parted heavens and the throne of Clod,
those words are in this Gospel. If ever
one prayed on earth as if, when he prayed, he was consciously in the bosom of
the Et.rnal Father, that prayer is recorded in this Gospel. Human history
gives no token of any being who ever
trod this world, except Jesus Christ, who
could have thus spoken and thus prayed.
His words, as they come to us, could
not have been filtered through a century
of oral tradition. They could have been
reported by no ordinary, though sympathizing hearer. No one could have
written them as we read them except the
disciple whose heart-home was in the
bosom of his Lord.— Christian Union.
"The Church of the living God."
Fealty to that is high churehmanship.
The High Church whose essence is in
the form of its ministry, whose existence
is conditioned on ranks of sacerdotal
orders, whose insistence is on vestments
and missals, on breviaries and times
and seasons, on processions and genuflexions, on sensuous ceremonies and
dim symbolisms from this we turn
away. In this Gospel day of love and
life and power, it is an anachronism.
To revive all this is like bringing back
the miracle plays, or decking modern
business men on our streets with the
titles and armor of medieval knights.
Prom this we turn away. But that high
churehmanship which confesses Jesus
the Christ, the Son of the living God;
which teaches the reality of the Church
of the living God, and the perpetual
real presence in it of the life of God;
which asserts the necessity of the new
birth by the Holy Spirit of God; the
priesthood of all believers and the kingship of every saint as children of God;
and which, while holding fast its living
unity with apostles and martyrs and all
the saints of past time, claims for itself
this democratic age, and advances to
the conquest of all races and the subordination of all forces for Christ Jesus
as King—to that we cleave, under its
Henry
banner we array ourselves.
—
is changeless, eternal, gentle, and inexhaustible. Your life has been a'record
of change, and the strength of past days
has waned to infirmity; but the Master
is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever.
As long as we refuse a warm fullsouled sympathy with Christ's missionary purpose, and hold aloof from earnest
co-operation with him in missionary enterprise, we shall have a poor, dwarfed
spiritual life, and be faithless to the
greatest work that God has put into human hands.
To be always intending to live a new
life, but never to take time to set about
it, is as if a man should put off eating
and drinking from one day to another, Hopkins.

Selections.
Persevering unbelief is the only sin
that will prove the ruin of a soul.
Daniel had a kind of religion that
would bear transportation; it stood the
journey from Jerusalem, and the climate
of Babylon, and became even better
abroad than at home.
The buckets of this world's pleasure
are not large enough to bring up water
to slake the thirst of the soul.
Hear the Deacon in his store recommending his goods, and how cheerful
and fascinating he makes bis tones.
Then hear him in the prayer meeting,
and he is doleful enough to make an
undertaker cry.
The best sermon ever preached is a
holy life; the best music ever chanted is
a happy, loving, helpful, patient spirit.
If you want others to serve God, serve
him yourself; if you want others to
shoulder their duty, shoulder your own.
We bring Christ near to men just as
we live near to him ourselves.
Is life's voyage rough ? Keep unbelief
below, faith on deck, and Christ at the
helm.
Prayers that are loaded down with
requests for everything in general and
nothing in particular are apt to carrylittle heart with them, and so do not
rise high.
Uo you see why in heaven gold is fit
only for paving stones? 'The feet that
tread up to blessedness must use it, but
they walk over it.
Every church of the living God, however humble, should be in communication with the spiritual tides that beat on
all the shores of the world, and be conscious of the lift of the cosmic forces
that rule in heavenly places.
All the victorious forces of the uni
verse are in league with the child of
God and with the Church of God.
If men had temptations only to great
sins, few would begin to indulge in sin.
It is the daily fight with little sins that
accustoms them to defeat.
Those are the best Christians who are
more careful to reform themselves than
to censure others.
The daily round of humblest duties is
full of probation and discipline.

Meetings.
This issue of The Fribmd appears
upon the eve of the annual meeting of
the Hawaiian Evangelical Association.
At nearly the same time will be held the
annual meetings of several other associations for mission and benevolent work.
Somewhat out of the usual course, but
allied to the preceding, will be the Punahou Jubilee, and the laying of the cornerstone of the new Church. The June
meetings of this year seem to have more
than usual importance from the fact that
the Hawaiian Kingdom is manifestly on
the verge of a period of great commercial
and political change, calling for a reinforcement of all our moral and spiritual
activitiesln order to carry our religious
and social conditions safely through.
Such a time of transition, however
promising of possible good, is also portentous with possible evil, and it is plainly needful that all agencies, institutions
and persons engaged in conserving and
promoting the public welfare should be
in the highest and healthiest activity.
Each one should be on the alert, like a
carriage driver approaching a crowded
corner, or like a pilot steering into the
strong currents of a narrow passage.
All our social and religious forces should
be in order, like the material of an army
in war time.
We hold that at all times, but especially at such times as the present, the
safety of any nation depends upon the
decree in which loyalty to God and
Righteousness possesses the hearts of
the people and influences their actions.
The ship tif state will either ride the
waves buoyantly, or be prostrated by
their blows, just in the degree that she
is lifted up by loyal faith within men's
hearts, and steered by righteous principles in their souls. Hawaii nei will be
able to meet the emergencies of the
time, and to come forth into true political
liberty and social prosperity, just in the
degree that her people and their leaders
accept the guidance of Righteousness.
Is it not then a time for the churches
and for Christian men to come together
before God with great faith and courage,
calling solemnly and resting confidently
upon Him for inspiration and guidance?
They need so to hold themselves in
earnest faith and iove, as to rally under
their leadership upon the side of justice,
order, purity, temperance, godliness, the
minds and hearts of all people of the land
who have heard the word of the Lord,
and have been taught in His ways. We
believe that God has a noble destiny
awaiting this central land of the North
Pacific. The pait century of wonderful
providences and unique forces has been
preparing Hawaii for its approaching

at this juncture, that all enlightened,
God-fearing men and women, should be
wide-awake, praying and trusting, with
faces to the light, souls listening to God's

May this be the spirit of all our June
meetings.
A Period of Transition.
Such may this be considered in an
especial sense for Hawaii nei. The leading elements tending to great changes
are in plain sight. One of these is the
change in population, leaving the natives
in a minority. Another is the immense
development of business conducted by
men of foreign race. Another is the
growth of education and of democratic
principles, which are rendering monarchy
less and less available as a permanent
means of government, so that on the first
serious occasion, it is liable to lapse,
and give place to republican forms. A
very great cause of change looming into
view, is the impending expansion of Pacific commerce to follow the opening of
the Nicaragua Canal. This will bring a
great accession of business, and immigration of commercial men. Closely
connected with this, will be changes in
ourinternational relations, especially with
our imperial neighbor of America.
It has become obvious to reflecting
minds, that both in our internal affairs,
and in our external relations, we shall
soon pass rapidly out of our past, and
turning a somewhat sharp corner, shall
press forward on a new course, apparently of great material activity and prosThe Twentieth century will

REV. LOWELL SMITH, D.D.
In Memoriam.
This beloved missionary passed away
in the early morning of Friday, May Bth,
in his 89th year. He was the very last
survivor from the earlier band of missionaries. His thin and aged form, still
active, has until now, been daily familiar
to the streets of Honolulu, as he drove
about in his unwearied ministrations to
the sick among the natives. Indeed for
fifty-five years, no man has been more
constantly known in this city.
Dr. Smith's death was probably somewhat hastened by overwork a week before, when he made his last rounds. The
consequent labor somewhat .overcame
him, and doubtless hastened the failure
of vital powers. There was lio special
illness or pain. He rose and dressed
himself daily, with a little help on Thursday morning. That last day was spent
mostly upon the couch. In the afternoon his mind wandered somewhat. He
believed himself surrounded by native
parents whose infants he was baptizing.
As he administered the ordinance, he
stumbled about the children's names.
Like himself, always pushing ahead, he
broke through the perplexity, emphatically protesting to the parents, " 1 cannot
bring these children up for Christ. It is
you their parents who must teach them
the ways of the Lord, and lead them to
follow Him. I can only baptize them
into His name." He then wandered off
into prayer, repeating many words of
Scripture to himself, as was his wont.
Thus was the mind of this faithful
servant upon his Lord's work, for the
lambs of the flock, to his latest breath.
There was little conscious speech after
this, until at five in the morning, the
freed spirit glided gently and grandly
away.
Lowell Smith came from the old Puritan stock of New England. He was
born in Heath, Mass., Nov. tlth, 1802,
amid that deeply religious, yet capable
and thrifty rural life which has supplied
such a multitude of the leading workers
of the fatherland in all departments of
public and business life. His public
profession of faith in Christ was made
in 1823. New England churches were
then ringing with the news of Hawaii's
cordial reception of the pioneer missionaries, and of the just previous abandonment of the idols and tabus. Richards,
Bishop and company had just embarked
at New Haven to reinforce Bingham and
Thurston. Six years after in 1829, we
find him graduating from Williams ColIrom Auburn Theologlege, and in
ical Seminary. There in Central New
York, he caught the intense revival spirit
spread by Charles G. Finney's wonderful
preaching. Following; him at Auburn
nineteen years later, we found him affectionately remembered by several persons
as one of the most earnest and devoted
of the Auburn students.
As Father Smith said on his golden-
wedding day in 1882, he had " a threefold conviction on the subject of his duty
to go and preach the gospel to the
heathen." It is certain that his sense
of God's special call to him for this work
was one of unusual strength. He accepted the call with all the simplicity
and energy of his single-hearted soul; he
never wavered from the happy assurance
and eager fulfilment of that call to the
latest day of his earthly life.
Finding a helpmate of like purpose
and joyful consecration with himself, one
of most blessed memory in Honolnlu, he
was married Oct. 2, 1832 to Miss Abba
W. Tenney. Nov. 21st, they embarked
at New Haven, on the Mentor, in company with Rev. B. W. and Mrs. Parker.
This was the fifth reinforcement sent out
to the Hawaiian Mission, thirteen years
after the pioneers. There were also as
fellow passengers, Rev. John Diell and
wife, and Mr. Chas. Burnham who came
to build the Seamen's Chapel or Bethel.
Mr. Diell was the first chaplain, and predecessor of Father Damon. Two of
that company still survive, Mrs. Barker,
venerable and beloved, and Mrs. Diell,
now absent for fifty years.
They arrived at Honolulu May 1,
1883. It was a time of trial to the mission. Their noble patroness, the Regent
Kaahumanu, had passed away a few
months before. The party of heathen
drunkenness and licentiousness had
found a leader in Kaomi. The young
King Kauikeaouli, or Kamehameha 111,
had revoked most of the wholesome restrictions imposed by Kaahumanu. In
consequence of the disorders at the
capital, the mission held their annual
meeting at Lahaina. They located the
Smiths at Kaluaaha, Molokai, as associates to the Hitchcocks, who had begun
pioneer work there the previous year,
and who had already secured a commodious thatched church and schoolhouse. The Smiths were housed in a
grass cottage, with lauhala mats for
floor, door, and windows. This proved
leak)', to the serious detriment of the
wife's health. But the skill and energy
of the young missionary with his Yankee
farm training soon provided a more
comfortable cottage of stone laid up with
mud. Meantime he taught singing,
learned the language, and began attempts at preaching in three months.
Having come from a land of protracted
"meetings
and powerful revivals, they
called the three Lahaina missionaries
to aid them in such a three days meeting," a forerunner of the great revivals
of 1837-8, when Molokai shared so
blessedly in the great Divine outpouring.
The General Meeting of 1834 removed
the Smiths to open a new station at
Waiawa, Ewa, the parish including
Waianae, with a total population of
over 6,000 souls. The difficulties of the
field were peculiar. Liliha, or Madam
Boki, the chiefess of Waianae, was very
hostile to the missionaries, having allied
herself to the Catholic priests. Waipio,
I June,

near the mission station, was the headquarters of the young king's debaucheries. The great body of the Ewa people followed in his wake. In fact, Ewa
was then and afterwards the favorite
country resort of chiefs and white men
for indulgence in their vile orgies. It
was several months before Mr. Smith
could gather more than one hundred
and fifty of the people for Sabbath worship. Mrs. Smith, being in feeble
health, remained in Honolulu until a
suitable house could be built, which was
not for six months; Mr. S. meantime
actively organizing work throughout the
district. Several good praying men and
women, members of the Honolulu
church living at Waiawa, upheld his
hands as he called on the Divine Spirit
to aid. Sabbath congregations gradually increased. "There was," he says,
"a great deal of sickness among the
people, and I spent much time in visiting among them. My success as a
physician induced many to forsake the
native doctors, and to attend public worship on the Sabbath."
In April 1835 a protracted meeting
was held, Mr. Emerson of Waialua
coming with forty of his people, and
Mr. Tinker with thirty Christians from
Honolulu. To Mr. Smith's surprise,
not less than five hundred of the Ewa
people turned out to the meetings. It
was not until January 1836that the Ewa
Church was organized with eighteen
members: six by letter, twelve by pro
fession. This church, in later years,
reached the number of "2,800 members.
Mr. Smith soon after began building
the immense adobe edifice which so long
crowned Waiawa hill, now superseded
by a smaller and* more modern church.
Meanwhile schools were progressing
in the various districts of Kwa, under
the missionary's vigorous care and effort.
In May 183G they had risen to 522
from 175 of the previous year. Of spare
and active frame, and great powers of
endurance, Mr. Smith was almost
übiquitous from end to end ol the Pearl
Lochs, much of the time on foot, or in
canoes, horseflesh being very scarce.
But the time had come for his transfer
to a larger and still harder field, the
scene of his permanent labors. In IBS6
the necessity became obvious that one
missionary should be devoted to the
work of education for the host of neglected children in the capital. Mr.
Smith was assigned to this work, Rev.
Artemas Bishop removing from Kailua
to Bwß, where he found the work nobly
in hand, as left by Mr. Smith. We will
pause here to testify that Mr. Smith
took very frequent occasion to visit his
old parish; no other missionary's face
was more familiar to us, or more welcome as a cheering and hearty friend,
full of happy zeal for the work.
Mr. Smith labored in the Honolulu
schools one year. He records about
1,300 scholars in attendance in the district on April 19, 1837, with 224 under

MRS. LUCY WHITE PALMER.
In Memoriam.
In recording the decease of aged
friends, ripe for departure and for heaven, our sorrow is mingled with joy for
their happy release from the burdens
and weariness of earth. But now we
have heard of one of the most active
and serviceable of the daughters of our
city, reft suddenly from her busy home,
made bright by her labors, and from her
infant children, and their father in the
midst of his parish cares. Lucy White
was one of Honolulu's favorites, and a
hopeful happy lot seemed to lie before
her when she joined her steps to those
of the Rev. F. H. Palmer, the young
pastor in North Weymouth, Mass.
Four children blessed their union, the
younger, twins, now in their second
year. The young mother was unusually
active in church work, and had added to
the household income by journalistic
work with her pen, which was in good
demand. Special sickness in the family
during the winter had greatly overtaxed
her strength. Worn out, she succumbed to the first attack of malady.
How great must be this grief to the
bereft husband and to the motherless infant band. It is one of those sharp
sorrows for which there seems no mitigation. Mrs. White leaves, in Honolulu, an only brother, Mr. E. Oscar
White, besides an uncle, Mr. W. W.
Hall, and an aunt, Mrs. P. C. Jones.
A large circle of Punahou schoolmates
participate in the affliction of this early
death.
Gen. Horatio P. Van Cleve.
Intelligence was received by a late
mail of the death of this aged gentleman, at his home in Minneapolis, after
four days illness with pneumonia. He
was in his eighty-second year. General
Van Cleve is remembered with warm regard by many friends in Honolulu,
where he and Mrs. Van Cleve spent the
winter of '78-9, visiting their daughter,
Mrs. W. VV. Hall. Mrs. Van Cleve has
long been widely known to the Christian
public through her successful and popular addresses and other labors in the
service of the Woman's Board of Missions. Although so advanced in life,
she was absent from home on such duty
when her husband was taken ill.

Society, pp. 390. j
We have had the satisfaction of mak
ing notices of some of Dr. Griffis' previ
ous publications. The prestnt one is
likely to find special favor. It is a story
of a Japanese youth who lived Under the
old feudal system and participated in its
fall. Woven into the story, are varied
and vivid pictures of Japanese life and
manners, of old religions and priestcraft,
and of missionary life and work. The
author has already told in "The Mikado's Empire," of his residence in Japan
for four years, from 71 74, for one year
near a daimio's provincial court isolated
from his own race.
Ourbetter half, who knows what young
folks want, says this is a first-class book
for Sunday schools. That must be so,
for no one is a better judge. But our
own opinion is, that most of the older
people will find reading this book an unusually easy and pleasant way of learn
ing about Japan.
The Corner-stone of the new edifice
of the Central Union Church at the
south corner of Beritania and Richards
streets is to be laid with appropriate ex
ercises at 3 p.m. June 3rd. The walls
are already high enough to give visible
promise of becoming one of the most
imposing pieces of architecture in Honolulu. The ashlar blocks of gray lava
are massive and regular.

have received the following facts of his
work carried on during the year 1890.
We are sure that it will be of interest to
our readers as giving a glimpse at one
important element of our complex life,
and as opening up one branch of the
good work being done on these Islands.

The regular Y. M. C. A. monthly
meeting was held May 21st. There
was a larger attendance than usual, inspiring to us all as a promise of awakening enthusiasm.
The chairmen of the different committees made reports, mostly oral, showing the work in their departments well
in hand. They promised reports at the
next monthly meeting, showing something accomplished. A glance at the
list of committees will show the chairmen of the active branches of work, all
young men in the full vigor of their young
christian manhood. They are ably supported by exceptionally strong committees. And we look forward to organized
and sustained effort.
The General Secretary reported a very
busy month. He spoke of the new class
es in Drawing and Mathematics meeting
in our building. The Y. M. C. A well
knows that the education of our young
men is, broadly speaking, an essential
part of the evangelization of the world.
Such seed sown, will return to us an
hundred-fold in worthier citizens and a
more intelligent Christianity. God speed
the evening classes! We wish we could
fill every room in the building with
earnest students.
The report of a Temperance sub-committee by Bro. Atherton was especially
interesting. He had been appointed to
feel the Ministerial pulse in regard to the
rumored granting of additional liquor
licenses. The report was re-assuring and
cheering. There is no likelihood of any
immediate extension of the evil.
Three new members were elected,
Messrs. Law, Langley, and Clarke.
A movement, led by Bro. Robinson,
is afoot, to begin a series of social evenings in the hall. Our lady friends are to
be asked to devote, in turn, an hour now
and then in giving to young men who
are strangers a home-like sociable evening.
The resignation of Mr. Fuller, our
General Secretary, took most of us by
surprise, though we all well know how
his health has been failing of late. His
departure will be a loss to this institution not soon repaired. His letter was
a touching tribute to the whole-hearted
aloha of the Christian people of this city.
It was modestly silent as to the inestimable work he has done here,—a work
that lives in the hearts of all who know
him, and whose record is kept in the
Lamb's Book of Life.

coming year were then thoroughly discussed. It was decided to begin, at
once, a meeting for prayer, praise and the
study of biblical topics.
Friday evening, 7:30, was chosen as
the time for the meeting.
The topics for the Sunday evening
meetings, for each quarter, are to be
printed on cards. Each member will receive a card.
The methods of conducting our meetings were discussed ; some changes suggested, and the chairman of the committee was instructed to ask leaders not
to take over 15 or 20 minutes in the
opening exercises, thus giving most of
the time to the members. Printed notices giving information about the meetings, reading-room, etc., are to be posted
in as many public places as possible.
Social evenings for young men," was
discussed and a committee appointed to
place the matter before the next monthly
meeting of the association. The leaders
are to be chosen as they have been for
the past two years.
"
Sunday Evening Meetings.
The meetings for the first month of
the V.M.C.A. year have been unusually
interesting and inspiring. The total attendance was 490. Average 98.
At the first meeting, Mr. Davies, Liverpool, England, brought us words of
counsel and cheer. On May 3rd, Major
Russell, R. H. A., gave us an earnest,
practical talk upon The Promises."
The meetings for the rest of the month
were led by our members. The meetings are growing in spirit and interest.
Yet, it is not only a pity, but a misfortune that many of our members do not
study the subjects selected more than
they do. The consequence is, that much
of that, which is said is often disconnected, lacking in aim, and foreign to
the topic of the evening. It is not intended that the topic should exclude all
else. If a brother has received some
blessing, which he wishes to acknowledge, and for which he wishes to give
thanks—let him do so.
No place is more appropriate than in
our meetings, where his words will be
heard, both by those who have no experimental knowledge of God, and hence
need such evidence ; and by those who
know personally what it is to have the
love of God dwelling in their souls.
This and some other reasons admit of
divergence. It is equally true, that were
we entering the presence of an earthly
king, we would not presume to address
to him disconnected and irrelevant

the winning of souls.
It is our duty—to say nothing of its
being our joy—to do earnestly and well
the work God has placed in our hands.
We can't afford to be careless workers
for God.
Closing Sunday Evening's Meeting.
Our meetings are usually closed with
a hymn. During the singing of the hymn
there is an almost universal reaching for
hats, walking-sticks, umbrellas, etc.,
then, ere the echo of the last note has
died away, a general rush to get down
stairs. To strangers, and those to have
not grown accustomed to the usual habit
here, this looks like " irreverence."
Taking the most lenient view possible,
we must have to confess that it shows a
lack of thoughtfulness. We ask God to
grant us the felt presence of His Holy
Spirit in our meetings. If we believe
His promise, "Where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there am
I in the midst of them,"—if we believe
this promise, then our Songs of Praise"
are as much addressed to God, in His
presence, as are our prayers. We should
so treat them. Our meetings should be
closed either with the benediction, or at
least, by a short prayer; when the Master's blessing may be asked to rest upon
what has been said in the meeting, and
His presence and guidance asked for the
hours and days of the week to follow.
"
Friday Evening's Prayer Meeting.
The prayer meetings for young men
were begun in the Y. M. C. A. parlors
on May 15.
The subject was Prayer."
Twenty-three, mostly young men attended. The hour was well occupied,
chiefly by the younger members, in prayer and testimony.
The subject for May 22nd was "Praise
and Thanksgiving." The 93 Psalm was
read. We all received inspiration from
the thoughtful praise of the great psalmist. Great good will result from these
meetings where all meet and unite in
prayer and praise to the Master of life.
We want more of our young men present. Don't make engagements for Friday evening. There never was a greater
need than now. Let us not fail to do
our duty. An hour spent in drawing
near to God will bring us strength for
the hours of sore trial we so often meet.

�The Wesley Centennial.
John Wesley died March 2d, 1791, in
his eighty-eighth year. He was probably the most influential Englishman
that ever lived, although his University,
Oxford, has no adequate memorial of its
most illustrious fellow. Price Hughes
once expressed surprise at this to the
eminent Mark Pattison, rectorof Lincoln
College, to which Wesley belonged, mentioning the fact that Wesley had twenty
millions of avowed disciples in all parts
of the world, within a century of his
death. "Twenty millions!" exclaimed
Pattison, with a start; "twenty millions !
you mean twenty thousand ?" Hughes
had to repeat it three times over. " 1
had not the faintest conception that
there were so many Methodists," said
the illustrious rector. Such is the fatuous ignorance to which State Churchism
and " Apostolic Succession" condemn
their votaries, like Buddhist monks in a
Lamasery, or like the S. P. G. bishop of
Calcutta, when an apostle of the Lord
like Dr. Pentecost approaches him.
Lecky declares the religious revolution
wrought by Wesley to be the greatest
event of English history in the eighteenth
England, as we know her
century.
to-day," says Edmund Scherer, "is the
work of Methodism." Says the historian
Green, "John Wesley embodied in himself not this or that side of the vast
movement, but the very movement itself." Small in stature, but of mighty
soul, and tireless body, Wesley was a
king among men, by the grace of God in
him, evolving a living church and Christianity out of the palsied religious condition of the nation, and lifting the people up into spiritual and moral activity.
It was not until the 24th of May,
1738, that John Wesley received the
Heavenly Power and launched forth into
his mighty career. The Spirit of the
I ord came upon him, anointing him to
preach the Gospel to the poor. FYom
childhood of scholastic habit, no man
ever so reached the hearts of the poor
and illiterate. His sweet and penetrating voice would reach ten, twenty, thirty
thousand auditors. He saturated the
English poor with a living gospel. His
journeyings were immense, never less
than forty-five hundred miles in a year.
Until his seventieth year all his journeys
were done on horseback, and he rode
sixty or seventy miles day after day, as
well as preached several times. In the
terrible winter of 1745, he rode two hundred and eighty miles in six days, amid
wind, rain, ice, snow, driving sleet, and
"
he grew to have an iron frame, which
he traced to the habit of rising at four,
and preaching three or four times a day,
with a journey of sixty or seventy miles
in the intervals.
During all this time his literary activity
was immense, mainly in providing books
for the benefit of his itinerant preachers
—collections of Psalms and hymns, sermons, journals, and magazines. In this
he unawares became rich, but expended
every penny of the 30,000/. he made, in
charity. Hissystematized social charities
were most extensive.
Wesley not only created Methodism;
he revolutionized Calvinism, which has
yielded its harsher tenets to his tenderer
and holier doctrine, and now marches
almost hand in hand with Methodism in
setting forth how " God loved the world,"
and how "whosoever believeth in the
Son, shall have everlasting life."
In the great memorial services of the
Centennial near Wesley's tomb in London, every variety of Christian theology,
and every form of ecclesiastical polity,
except Roman and Eastern Catholicism,
combined to pay loving reverence to
England's greatest prophet and apostle.
We are indebted for the above facts to
an article in the Nineteenth Century.
A heavenly crown is shining on the brow
Of her who will come back to you no more.
Be reconciled then knowing that the ties,
Broken below, shall, in the world above,
Be bound again, in lands beyond the skies
And blessed forever by the Lord of Love.

By two wings a man is lifted up from
things earthly; namely, by simplicity and

Simplicity ought to be in our inten-

doth tend toward God; purity doth apprehend and taste Him.
If thou intend and seek nothing but
the will of God and the good of thy

Jubilee Festivities.
As per programme, these opened on
Thursday, June '2.uh, with athletic exhibitions on the campus, by the students.
There was a cavalry drill, followed by
tourneying at tings with line success.
There were various foot races and jumpings, closing wiLh football. The tine
doings of their sons so stirred up some
of the old Punahou boys that they organized an impromptu race of their
own, in which grey-haired dignitaries
gloriously vied for precedence. Three
of the tallest rolled in the dust, but manfully sprang up and finished the race.
We are happy to record that the solid
men were, by no means, in the rear.
One of the fallen heroes was seen not
long after running horses with the young
lads for all he was worth. He evidently
had not forgotten in Spain the feats of
his youth on Mokuleia plains.
On the same evening the great stone
church was crowded above and below to
hear General Armstrong. Mrs. B. F.
Dillingham first read a Poem of some
length with admirable force and grace.
This, like all whom we have heard speak
of it, we reckon as of a high order of
literary ability, while it glowed with the
enthusiasm of a lover of the Alma Mater.
We only wish that our columns could
be expanded to contain this poem, together with the addresses of the week.
General Armstrong's oration was full
of the same filial enthusiasm towards
r
Punahou, and the memories of school
days. It also took the strong reach and
broad outlook of the man ol affairs, of
the heroic educator and race-uplifter.
His crisp, nervous sentences crowded
fast, teeming with thought fresh and
suggestive, and with counsels stimulating and hopeful. These counsels related to the College and its future as a
central educating power. They also
reached out to the duties lying before its
graduates for Hawaii in all its social and
national needs. It was full of the gospel of Work and its rewards.
Friday the 26th was the day for giving full scope to the social elements of
the occasion. After a reception by
President and Mrs. Hosmer in the
parlors, all the guests sat down to a sort
of Alumni dinner, which took the form
of a combined lunch and luau, of which
something like a thousand persons must
have partaken. The beautiful lawn in
front of the main building had been
covered in for the purpose, and laid with
long tables, spread with the most copious
bounty ofourlavish Honolulu hospitality.
For from two to three hours after this
were occupied with addresses. A letter
was first read from Hon. C. R. Bishop,
which accompanied his gift of $50,000.
Professor W. D. Alexander then delivered a most entertaining historical
address, a marvel of research and exact
information respecting Punahou and
the College. For happy allusion, apt
comparison, chastened humor, quiet
ardor, we find this address throughout
as good reading as we have recently
met with.
This paper, as well -s the
Oration and Poem, have already been
printed in the P. C. Advertiser, and will
no doubt appear in pamphlet form.
This was followed by a large numbei
of lively speeches from old graduates,
trustees and others, Chief-Justice Judd
presiding, as Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements. These have
been very imperfectly reported by the
press, and we were not in a position to
hear anything -but all seemed to be
having a jolly good time. We learn
that Rev. Hiram Bingham, by request,
made some statements relative to his

father's gift in 1840 of the Punahou
lands to the school.
It was made a general holiday in
town, stores and Government offices being generally closed after ten o'clock, out
of regard to Punahou hospitality. Her
Majesty the (jueen was prominent
among the guests.
Kamehameha School, after four years
of arduous and excellent work, has
graduated its first class of fourteen, four
of whom expect to study there another
year. The exercises were held on Tuesday, June 23rd, when Kawaiahao
Church was packed to overflowing.
The young men gave us the impression
of genuine high promise. The wise and
affectionate address of Principal Oleson
to his boys was most impressive. Public examinations of the six divisions of
the school had been held on Monday
and Tuesday mornings. On Wednesday the Trustees and General Armstrong were entertained at lunch, Her
Majesty the Queen also honoring the
company with her presence. General
Armstrong gave special counsel to the
young men. The work of this school
involves much of the element of Industrial Training upon which he places so
much stress. A variety of work executed by the scholars showed a wonderful proficiency in Cabinet and Machinist
as well as other work.
The Bishop Museum was opened to
the public on Monday and Tuesday, although the arrangement of the cases is
still incomplete.
Hilo Boarding School held its annual exhibition on June —th. It has
recovered lost ground and proved remarkably successful under Mrs. W. S.
Terry as Principal, aided by Miss Ellen
G. Lyman and Mr. Terry, with Mr. P.
S. Lord as instructor in music. The
new manual department has been very
successful. A small steam engine has
been constructed by the pupils under
Mr. Terry's supervision, and is doing
useful work. Five acres of kalo are
growing for the food of the scholars, besides bananas, sweet potatoes and sugar
cane. Four hundred coffee trees also.
The Lyman Memorial Fund now
amounts to thirty thousand dollars.
The school has grown from thirty to
fifty pupils, with a prospect of increase.
With its long and useful past behind it,
this important school promises to render
invaluable service to the Hawaiian
people.

seeing the Spanish take and use the
property of Americans without their being able to prevent it, were led to think
it would go much worse with them in
the future. This, 1 think, was one inducement to the fighting. The outbreak
occurred at Ova June 2. >, 1890, at the
boat landing on the mission premises.
The Spanish first came to Ova in
Maj', but before that, when it was fust
reported that they were coming there to
build, Miss Palmer delegated Mr. Charles
Bowker and Mrs. Cole on separate occasions to visit the Governor and pro
test against their building on the mission premises, and the Governor promised that he would not. The officer
in charge of the force at Ova was very
bitter against anything not Spanish, and
from all accounts the Governor could
not wholly control him. He made many
threats and talked much to the natives
on his own authority, while they sup
posed it was from the Governor. This
officer was very angry with Miss Palmer
because she went to the Governor with
her complaints instead of to him, ami he
went right to work on the mission
grounds cutting trees and building
houses. A church and a dwelling house
were begun about sixty feet from our
church, and foundations for a fort and
barracks were laid on a hill near oui
houses and on our land. For an excuse
the Governor said that it was the most
healthy place he could find. He afterwards said that the fort was a military
necessity, and that the church was for
the religious welfare of the soldiers. I
don't believe anything of the kind. 1
think it a fact that the)' want to crowd
out our mission, and they did this as a
first grand step toward it. If the natives
were fairly treated, there would be no
necessity for soldiers. They are peaceably disposed, but, like other people,
they cannot bear oppression.
The three weeks spent at anchor in
Ponape were three weeks of misery
nearly every day brought its new exasperation. One of the first things done
by the Governor, after our at rival, was
to prohibit all religious meetings among
the natives. This was a sjrious drawback to Mr. Rand's endeavors in the interest of peace, and it made the natives
all the more bitter because they like to
begin their public meetings with prayer.
On the twenty-sixth of August I again
visited the Governor and, after a long
talk, got a written permit to land goods
at the mission in our boats, "at the
owner' srisk." Mr. Rand still believing
in the possibility of bringing about a
quiet settlement of the troubles, wished
to have his goods put ashore. Before
granting the permit the Governor said
that he had proof from both foreigners
and natives that the Star sold them
r
powder. Though I assured him that I
-never deal in powder, he 1repeated the
assertion, till I told him squarely and
plainly that his informers had lied. He
accused me .of trading in tobacco and
cobra. I explained to him the extent of
my trading, referring to my instructions
from the Board (only for the getting of
ship's supplies,) He declared that the
Rnk Mission makes a business of selling
tobacco, and that it is given out in
church by one of the ladies that they
have better tobacco than that sold by
the traders, and I must say, if I had to
use the weed, I should hope the}' did.
1 h m: stories probably came from those
who dislike missionaries.
\\ in n we first reached Ponape, Mr.
Rand wished to go ashore and have his
goods landed, but, after a few days, he
found it would not be wise to do so, and
requested me to remain indefinite!}.
Miss Fletcher went to Ova and remained till September 3rd, the other passengers remaining on board ship. On
the 3rd (September), the troops having
arrived from Manila and a fight being
imminent, the girls' school was removed
to the S/nr, via.; three ladies and twentyone girls. The houses were locked and
a white flag left flying over them, and
the Governor's own written pledge of
protection nailed to one of the doors.
On September 4th our boat visited Ova
for the last time. The natives then had
nearly the entire water front fortified.
There was first a breastwork of stone
five feet high. A few feet back of this
was a trench, a kind of rifle-pits.
I had
to i;et a permit from the Governor for
the removal of the girls. Later on, no
girls were allowed to remain with their
teachers without the written consent of
their parents. We went in all directions and obtained the required permits.
The authorities then demurred at the
correctness of the permits, and so all
the girls had to he put on shore, Miss
Palmer and Mrs. Cole going with them
to Kiti.
The American schooner C. O■ Wilson
was in [tort and was engaged to take
Miss Kinney and the Ruk goods to Ruk
for $300, and I sailed the same day
(September 11th) for Kusaie with Mr.
Rami, the Misses Fletcher and Foss
and eleven girls (those given permits.)
Mr. Rand (who staid at Kiti) did all he
could to prevent further bloodshed.
The Gove/HiOr asked him to do as he
had in I**7, and he worked until he
made himself sick. I arrived at Kusaie
Miss Fletcher told
September Kith.
me that she had decided not to stop at
Kusaie. So, on the 20th, I sailed again
for Ponape, and on the night of the 25th
hove to off Kiti harbor. Here we learned from Rand and Nanpei of the burning of the mission houses. I went into
Kiti and lay at anchor four days while
the dividing and landing supplies went
on.
Misses Palmer and Fletcher and
Mrs. Cole decided to remain at Kiti and
keep the girls together. October 2nd, I
cleared for Kusaie. Mrs. Rand and Miss
Foss being aboard. (Later, the American sh'\p-o(-wav Alliance took the Misses
Palmer and Fletcher and Mrs. Cole and
the girls to Kusaie.)
Ii ims. The Spanish began active
operations against the natives September 13th, a few miles south of Ova. On
the 20th they first shelled Ova, then
landed a force and burned all the mission houses, besides a few native houses.
They are said to have fired MOO rounds
from their large guns during the week,
and succeeded in killing only three
natives. The Spanish commander was
killed while landing near the mission
wharf. After burning the houses they
all went on board their ships and steamed around to the colony, where they remained doing nothing up to the second
of October, the time of my departure.
Both Bowker and .Nanpei received some
kind of decoration for their services (in
secreting and saving the lives of the
priests and six soldiers), two priests
were hid two days in the girls' school.
Nanpei was offered $. >o a month to
teach in the Catholic school.
Several days before the fight of June
25th, the native Christians and teachers
held their customary monthly meeting
for religious talk and instruction. There
happened to be more people present than
usual. The officer in charge became
alarmed, thinking they came for other
purposes, and threatened to take them
all to the Governor and have them killed
if they held any more meetings. This
officer had received warning of trouble
the day before the outbreak, and had
badgered the natives about their fighting.
He made no preparations for defense.
The natives were told that they had received too many American ideas, and
that they would now have some of them
taken out.
While Manassa, one of our teachers,
was d\ing in bis house at Ova, the
Spanish began felling trees and making
a noise near the house.
His friends
were obliged to take him away and he
died while being removed.
The natives are afraid that the Catholic
religion will be forced upon them. I
think that was one cause of the outbreak.
So far only only one of the five tribes
is in the fight. They muster less than
400 men. The Spanish had 1,200
against them, and will need several
times that number before they are
through.
At Ponape (April 20, 1K91) we found
all quiet and most of the soldiers returned to Manila, and but one man-ofwar in port. The new Governor gave
us no trouble, and seemed very anxious
to make things agreeable. In regard to
the Ponapeans, however, he proposes to
follow the old tactics. They must come
in and surrender their chiefs and guns
or be wiped out, and he said that there
would be no more bungling about it on
the part of the military.

The old Governor, before leaving,
issued a proclamation declaring the
Metalanim tribe extinct, and their lands
were divided among .the other tribes.
The facts are that, up to the time of our
leaving Ponape, April 25, 1891, only
five Ponapeans had been killed, while
the Spanish loss in the last fight alone
was not less than three hundred men,
and some put it still higher. The natives
were strongly intrenched and captured a
great quantities of rifles and ammunition. Ponape is a dear acquisition for
the Spanish.
An Animated Scene took place upon
the Australia at her arrival on the morning of the 23rd ult., when old Punahou
and other friends boarded the ship to
greet Gen. S. C. Armstrong and Rev.
William H. Gulick. The alohas were
eager and joyful to the two veterans.
Their old teacher, Dr. Beckwith, was
there to welcome them, together with

The Corner Stone exercises on June
3rd were a most happy success, enthusiastic, and inspiring. An account is given
in another column. An earnest purpose
for consecrated Christian work pervaded
the thoughts expressed. The massive
layers and arches of hewn lava blocks
were suggestive of strength and endurance, as well as of a noble beauty growing up. One speaker emphasized the
superiority of stone over wood, as unlikely "to go off some day in a puff of
smoke," pointing to the black column
rising from the burning Kerosene Warehouse. Another spoke of the material
as "stone that has been tried by fire."
Another spoke of the lava rock, as firm
and imperishable as the granite of that
New England, from whose shores the
imperishable Gospel first came to these
islands." They were also termed " fitting and shapely stones, hewn from
coarse and shapeless clinker heaps."
Altogether, the stone itself came in for
much praise.
It is the same material
which has been used in the fine edifices
at the Kamehameha School —the tough,
fire-proof lava, of the "clinker" or "aa"
variety, full of irregular vesicles. We
notice that the upper arch of one of the
smaller windows is already turned.
Many were glad to hear our brother
Bingham's impaired voice ring out so
grandly in the well chosen words of the
benediction.

July,1891.
Ordination of Portuguese Evangelists.
North Pacific Missionary, Institute.
Pursuant to a call made by the Central Union Church, a Council of neighboring churches and ministers assembled on Saturday, June 13th, and, after
due examination, approved Messrs. A.
Y. Soares and Robert K. Baptist for
ordination to the Ministry of the Gospel
as Evangelists. On the evening of
Sunday, the 14th, the same Council
proceed to ordain them. Rev. S. F.
Bishop offered the ordaining prayer;
Rev. C. M. Hyde, I). D., gave the
Charge to the Candidates; Rev. W. B.
Oleson gave the Right hand of Fellowship; and Rev. O. P. Emerson addressed the Congregation, urging especially
their affectionate support of the work of
these laborers.
Mr. Soares has been diligently and
successfully laboring for several months,
aided by his noble wife, among his
countrymen in Honolulu. He is himself a native of the Azores, but converted in early manhood among his Protestant countrymen in Illinois, and there
acquiring education and experience as a
Christian worker.
Mr. Baptist, born in the same Portuguese community in Illinois, and having
enjoyed a part of a course of training
for the Ministry, has been laboring most
successfully in Hilo. It had become
clear that, for their best usefulness, ordination had become important for these
esteemed and devoted brethren. A great
and fruitful work seems to lie before
them.
A public examination of the scholars
of this institution was held at Kawaiahao Church on Friday a.m., June sth,
conducted by the instructors, Rev. C.
M. Hyde, D.D., and Rev. H. 11. Parker.
As in each succeeding year of the past,
a marked advance was apparent both in
the intellectual training and in the moral
and spiritual tone of the young men,
giving the right to expect a continuance
of that improvement of ministerial character which has marked the accession of
the graduates of the Institute to the
pastorates of the native churches. The
number of students, seventeen, has been
larger than in former years, in increase
stimulated in part by the greatly improved accommodations.
The next great step forward is felt to
be the effective introduction of our
theological students to the treasures of
English books. When nearly all young
Hawaiians are tending towauis this, the
rising generation of pastors must not be
lacking in this accomplish!' ent. But
this means additional teaching force in
the school. The graduating exercises
of five of the students took place at Kawaiahao, on June 7th, before a crowded
congregation.
The C. U. Sunday School Picnic on
June llth, Kamehameha Day, was a
delightful affair. Mr. J. T. Wateihouse,
Jr., threw open his fine grounds on
Wyllie street, in Nuuanu Valley. There
was a large lanai covered in, abundant
shade of trees, spacious lawns for games,
and. just over the brook, broad pastures
for base ball. The light breeze of the
valley was cool. Some seven hundred
persons, large and .small, were present.
There was a profusion of choice supplies for luncheon. All seemed to enjoy themselves hugely, and to have no
hankering after the rates, six miles
away at the Park.
The Queen favored the company with
her presence at two o'clock, looking
well after her busy touring.
The Drought continues to be severe
on the leeward sides of the Islands.
Our gauge shows only 0.20 inch a week

Co-education for Hawaiians.
How many of our readers are acquainted with the effort making in this
direction by the Kauai Industrial School
at Malumalu in Lihue, Kauai ? How
many, indeed, are sensible of the strong
reasons believed to exist for making
such efforts ? These reasons grow out
of the absence among Hawaiians of
home training in the proper behavior of
the sexes towards each other. By
means of the proper intercourse of pupils
in the same school in the presence of
their teachers, kindly regulating them,
proper behavior is to be taught. They
are to be educated in the proprieties and
common decencies of social life, as well
as in books and manual aptitudes.
This subject, in this light, is rather
new to us—we are deeply impressed by
it. There seems a most important work
to be done. Hampton has proved how
practicable and successful it may be
made. We wish every success to the
devoted teachers and trustees who have
entered upon this important undertaking.
We hope to take up this topic again,
with added information.

as Inspector-General of Schools for several years. He was also the Commissioner in charge of the Hawaiian Exhibit at the Centennial Exposition in
IB7f>. Four years ago the Board of
Education published his excellent Hawaiian-English Dictionary, a boon to
natives learning English. It is only a
few months since he completed a Pictorial Bible-Story book in Hawaiian.
During his last years, our brother's
spiritual life was greatly developed, and
towards the end rose to a high elevation,
attended by a sustained experience of
remarkable joy and peace during his
severe sufferings. Mr. Hitchcock was

hardly need to say that he was forceful

his words were actively stimulating to

has indeed raised up a powerful helper

Laying of the Corner Stone of Central
Union Church.
These exercises took place as promised at 3 to 5 p.m., on June 3rd. They
were held in the front yard of the Pun
hou Preparatory School, immediatel;
opposite the corner stone, chairs for several hundred persons being placed under
the trees, with a stand for the speakers,
only fifty feet from the corner stone. A
light shower fell before the exercises,
cooling the air.
An earnest invocation of blessing was
offered by Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, followed by a Scripture lesson and an anthem.
Psalm 33 was read as a responsive lesson. Mr. R. F. Dillingham then addressed the congregation in behalf of the
trustees, expressing their hope for the
furtherance of Christian work and Christian union.
Mr. Alexander Young next spoke in
behalf of the Building Committee, giving
tho history of their work and its results
so far. The building is being erected
by Mr. Lishman, under salary, his experienced and faithful services ensuring
a better result than any contract. He
hoped to see the church ready for occupation by August, IH9 2.
Mr. J. B. Atherton, the Treasurer,
then gave a statement of the financial
position of the enterprise, and of the
amounts subscribed, and of those paid in.
These showed a very favorable aspect.
Mr. P. C. Jones, in behalf of the subscribers, acknowledged a debt of gratitude to the Building Committee. "This
church is not being built in a spirit of
rivalry, but solely for the glory of God,
and to provide a proper place where we
and our descendants may worship God»
for generations to come."
Chief Justice A. F. Judd spoke in behalf of the Deacons of the church, whose
office he magnified, expressing joy in the
solidity of the stone structure, deprecating excess of adornment, and voicing
praise and thanksgiving to God for these
rising walls and stately towers.
Rev. S. E. Bishop spoke in behalf of
the membership of the late Bethel
Church, expressing their satisfaction at
the more than ample fulfilment of the
pledge given that a new edifice should
be built for the united worship of the
two churches.
Speaking also in behalf
of the Standing Committee, he exhorted
the Church not to let the strength and
stateliness of the new temple separate
them from love and labor for the struggling and sinning world outside.
Rev. W. B. Oleson, speaking for the
congregation, exhorted to maintaining
this building as free to all as sunshine
and air; not to abridge its hospitality,
but keep the amplest spirit of cordiality
and winsomeness to all who seek the
house of God, however astray in belief
or life. It must be no club house, nor
under the sway of any distinctions of social rank or intelligence. It must follow
Jesus, in drawing all men unto Him.
�56
Mr. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., the Superintendent, spoke for and to the Sunday
School. Referring to king Joash's moneybox for the repair of the temple, he stated that the school were making a special
monthly collection towards furnishing
their future school-room. Givers are
needed, the children can give, and God
will bless.
The children then sang " Onward
Christian Soldiers." Salutations followed from various churches.
Rev. H. H. Parker, in behalf of Kawaiahao Church, thought it appropriate
to select this granite-like native stone,
and redeem it for such honor and service.
He brought the greetings of the oldest
church in the land, the old historic
church of Bingham and Kaahumanu.
That old church had a warm heart for
her younger sister, from whom she had
received such continuous and generous
aid. The remarkable progress of Christianity here has had its periods of retrogression. But in every cloud there is a
promise. May we discern God's presence with unobstructed vision. "Peace
be within thy walls and prosperity with-
in thy palaces."
Rev. Alexander Mackintosh presented
the cordial salutations of the people to
whom, as a priest of the Anglican Church
he ministered, "sympathizing in your efforts to spread and deepen the Gospel of
Christ our common Savior." Also their
"hope that a building meet for His worship, a refuge for souls yearning for salvation through Christ, will be the result
of your labors."
Rev. A. N. Fisher represented the
Christian Japanese of Oahu, Maui, and
Kauai, who owed so much to the liberality of this church, and who are cordial
in their salutation, as they find themselves unspeakably advantaged by the
new life upon which they have entered.
Relieved of the burdens and fears of
idolatrous belief, advanced, elevated, exalted in their earthly and their spiritual
relations, they are most grateful, and
rejoice in your enlargement which is
their endowment.
.Following a prayer by the Pastor, an
original hymn by Mrs. B. P. Dillingham
was sung by the choirGreat God, in tender love look down,
And bless the work our hands perform;
Our labors let thy goodness crown
With holy zeal and purpose warm.
Behold, a "Corner Stone" we lay
In Zion's temple for the Lord;
Our consecrating vows we pay
With hearts and tongues in glad accord.
The Master's hand these builders guide;
The Master's grace these walls adorn;
The Master's presence here abide,
Till breaks the bright, unending morn.
Mr. W. W. Hall then read a list of
various articles enclosed in the metallic
case, and deposited the same in an excavation under the stone. The oldest
male member of the Church, Mr. Samuel

Monthly Meeting.
The regular monthly business meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was held June
18th, in the Hall, President Geo. P,
Castle in the chair. There were twentyone members present. Treasurer A. C.
Lovekin read his report showing total
receipts for the month $423.98; disbursements $238.45, leaving a balance
on hand of $184.53.
General Secretary S. D. Fuller, in
his report said he was very busy getting
things ready for his successor. Certain
needed repairs have been completed.
On account of the partial failure of the
electric light system there has been considerable extra labor in lighting the Association rooms. Both parlors have
been given up to the evening classes,
and are used to their full capacity.
Chairman H. W. Feck for the Devotional Committee reported an average
Sunday evening attendance of 76, being
an increase of 31 over the snme month
of last yea.. The Friday evening prayer meeting is increasing in interest.
The average attendance is 21. At the
last meeting over twenty young men
took part. Chairman J. E. Bid well for
visitation committee reported twentyfive calls made on the sick during the
month. These visits were not confined
to members of the Y. M. C. A., but
were made to many others as well, to
whom such visits are welcome.
Chairman E. A. Benner reported the
vitation Committee at work. Sunday
•.id Friday evenings members are on
nand to welcome strangers. Invitations
extended to young men on the streets
are showing promising results. Many
strange faces are being constantly added
to our evening meetings.
Chairman F.J. Lowrey for the Entertainment Committee reported on Dr.
Hammond's very interesting lecture on
South Africa. He also said that negotiations were in progress for a lecture on
Japan ere long. The Secretary read a
communication from Dr. Hyde, who
was absent on Maui, shewing an unflagging interest in the work on the
Reading Room Committee.
The report of Hon. J. B. Atherton,
Chairmau of the Finance Committee
was read by the Secretary. It stated
that the pledges for this year foot up
$2,328, and that this amount will not be
sufficient to cover the yearly expenses of
the Association.
For the Hawaiian Branch Committee
the General Secretary stated that he still
holds the refusal of the lease of Cjueen
Emma Hall. It is understood that the
Hawaiian Board intend to use Cjueen
Emma Hall as a mission.

Apostolic Succession.
Through the efforts of the Entertainment Committee, a very interesting lectnre on the above topic was given in the
Association Hall by Dr. Hammond.
The Doctor began his lecture by showing the audience a specimen of the
ornithorhynchus, orduck-billed platypus,
from Australia. He then took us in
imagination to the entrance of the harbor of Cape Town. After describing
briefly the city and its surroundings, be
drew a graphic picture of the many
peoples found in the city. The audi
ertce enjoyed the description of a Malay
marriage, where—much to the surprise
of the Doctor—the groom was enjoying
a monopoly of all the vows, promises,
&c, while the bride-elect, dressed in her
best, presided over a banquet spread in
another part of the city. According to
the Doctor's description, the bushmen
are built on the 4'x6' pattern—the 6'
being breadth. It would take too much
space to tell of the many interesting
things said and curios shown. After
the lecturer had finished his description
of the country, its people, animals and
products, he gave us an earnest address
upon the things pertaining to the Spiritual Kingdom.
As we understand this dogma, it means
that by the laying of the hands of a
Bishop or Apostle, himself in like manner ordained through an unbroken succession of bishops or apostles from the
time of our Lord, is imparted a peculiar
Divine grace, which alone can endow a
man with official or priestly authority in
the Church of Christ, and that without
such Episcopal manipulation, no minister has valid ordination, and no church
a valid existence or authority.
This doctrine logically compels those
who accept it, to treat all the most active
and efficient Churches of enlightened
Christendom, such as the Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterian, Congregational,
as having no valid status as churches,
and their ministers as being only devout
laymen. They may excel other churches
in the fruits of Grace, but they have no
real grace, because they have never received it through the appointed channel
of Episcopal hands.
This attitude towards us may be compared to one still more offensive, but
quite as reasonable, adopted by some
Romish priests, who maintain that no
marriage rite is valid unless solemnized
by a priest of their church, and that
therefore all our parents not so united
have lived in unlawful concubinage, and
that we their children are bastards. We
cannot be expected to hold either view
in respectful regard. To call them "figments" is a mild form of expression.
We regret to find the Chronicle appealing for support to the belief of "an
overwhelming majority of Christians,"
evidently meaning thereby the vast degraded masses of nominal Christians in
the Oriental and Latin churches. It is
also an article of faith with most of those
people that the earth is flat, and the sun
revolves around it. Nor do the lives of
those priests and peoples suggest the
presence ofmuch Heavenly Grace among
them, notwithstanding the diligent transmission by their bishops, of what is
supposed to be such.
It is our carefully considered opinion
that the debasement of those Oriental
churches is intimately associated both as
effect and as cause with gross forms of
the belief that spiritual grace can be imparted by the manipulation of a priest.
Such doctrine tends to obscure the idea
or concept of real, spiritual Grace. It
substitutes for it a sort of magical, semiphysical force. It causes Religion to degenerate into Fetichism, and to become
divorced from Morality.
Witness the low condition of the
Church of F.ngland in the eighteenth
century, before the Lord anointed his
apostle John Wesley with genuine, heavenly Grace to pour light upon the hearts
of the English people. Trusting in a
figment of grace imparted by the hands

of a bishop, they had neglected the true
gifts of the Holy Ghost, so rich and free.
Since those days that church has shared
very largely in the great Revival of true
religion which has especially pervaded
English-speaking countries. Even the
Roman Church has become greatly enlightened and revived, wherever it is
brought into contact with Evangelical
religion.
Our churches hold to sacramental observances as being the outward tokens
of Christ's gifts of inward spiritual grace;
but not as in themselves efficacious in
imparting that grace, except as they diAs visible

Grace, these sacramental ordinances are
solemnly precious to us. But we would
pray to be kept from trusting in them as
the bodily vehicles of spiritual grace.
Hurricane at Kusaie or Strong's Island.
Intelligence of this comes per Morn-
ing Star. On March 2d, a heavy gale
set in from the northwest, attended by
unusual darkness. About 2 p.m. on the
3rd, as reported by Mrs. Rand, the wind
shifted to the northeast, and blew a
hurricane. Most of the large trees on
the island were torn up. The rain was
deluging. Most of the natives' houses
were destroyed, and all the churches.
The mission dwellings were badly
strained. Mr. Channon's house was
unroofed, and he and his family compelled to seek refuge at Mr. Rand's in
the height of the storm, Mrs. C. barely
evading a fatal blow from a flying sheet
of corrugated roofing. Most of the
Rand's house was flooded by the rain
driving through the roof. They were
constantly strengthening the house with
braces and ropes.
A lull occurred on the morning of the
4th, after which it blew harder than ever
until the wind ceased about 7 a.m. on
the sth, after two nights of fear and
suffering. Dr. Pease's family had somewhat similar experience. Miss Palmer,
Miss Fletcher, and Mrs. Cole had their
school of seventeen Ponape girls at
Mwot station, on Dove Islet, ten miles
distant. Their houses were demolished,
themselves having taken refuge first in
King Tokusa's house, and then in Mr.
Skilling's. "The roof of the king's house
was built of very massive timbers," Miss
Palmer writes, "as was the whole
house; but they shook like reeds in the
wind, and it was only because so many
men were working with ropes and timbers to prop it up that it stood at all. * *
We remained there until about four in
the afternoon; by that time it seemed as
if every gust of wind must lift off the
roof. * * Our third move took us to
Mr. Harry Skilling's, a very small house.
It was propped in every direction inside
and out, and the rafters were tied across
with heavy ropes. Mr. S. gave to Miss
Fletcher and me the driest place in the

and with fewer conveniences than before, even, but we can teach the girls,
and we have our daily bread (rice mostly
just now) a shelter and clothing. It is
strange how much we can do without
and yet be comfortable. I have not
worried as much about this, or even the
leaving Ponape, hard as that was, as I
have often done over much smaller
things."
Miss Palmer, who came up on the
Star, it will be remembered, had her
school close to the massacre last June
at Ponape, and concealed several fugitives in her house. She says she would
rather experience many hurricanes than
the terrors of those days. Not far from
Dove Islet, the force of the waves tore
up the outer edge of the fringing reef,
and piled up a new islet of coral stones,
over half a mile long, and five feet high,
nearly half a mile from the shore. The
natives have record of a similar hurricane about one hundred years ago.
Mrs. Rand experienced one like it in
Ponape in 1874. The Kusaie natives
were almost entirely destitute of food,
but were enabled to buy a good supply
of rice from a China trader. The Morning Star was at the Marshall Islands at
the time. No other island is known to
have shared in this tempest.
This hurricane at Kusaie naturally
connects itself with a remarkable drop
in the barometer in Honolulu on March
2d (3rd at Kusaie), also with our cold
wave of March 4th (sth at Kusaie), when
the mercury touched 48° F. in Honolulu.
Also with the cold blizzard in England
on March 10th, when so many lives
were lost.
There is also to be noted the collapse
of Kilauea on March sth. It seems not
unlikely that the jar of the earth's crust
which let out the contents of the lavashaft was owing to the same astronomical conjunctions which caused the simultaneous atmospheric agitations. These
are facts for use in the future progress
of Meteorology.

The riend.
All of these involve immense expense.
They include a very serious possible
peril by rupture of dams. Engineers are
said to delight in great dams. It would
be well if they were always obliged to
reside immediately below those which
they built. We do not wish to say that
Storage reservoirs and a Gravity system
are absolutely not to be employed. But
we think that in viewof the high prices we
are paying for water, we all have the
right emphatically to demand of the government no longer to make such an unworthy failure of the business. We say
airworthy, because it is unbecoming that,
for example, the noble lawns of the
Palace and Government house should
be in their present condition when a copious supply of excellent water is most
accessible at a small expense.
Within from three to five hundred feet
of the surface is an exhaustless supply
of purest water pressing hard to reach
the arid ground. One ten-inch Artesian
well, costing $2,500, will copiously irrigate two hundred acres of town lota,
not over thirty feet above the sea. Steam
pumping, to lift the water from thirty to
seventy-five feet higher, would cost three
or four dollars for what the government
charges twenty live. These figures are
somewhat loosely drawn from cost of
wells and pumping at Ewa Plantation.
For fourteen dollars an acre per annum,
eight hundred acres of cane at that plantation have for ten months uninterruptedly received not less than ten inches of
water a month. This is fully twice the
average supply to Honolulu gardens,
averaging say half an acre to a $25 tap.
That is, we pay $100 for what would
cost $14 for steam pumping from Artesian wells. These figures may be a
little out, but show the general conditions
of the case.
If any one can show that the present
water-famine is not due to a clear neglect of the most obvious means of supply, we shall be glad to see his arguments. Our condemnation of the past
mismanagement of the business will
probably include some officials of good
judgment and ability, and personal
friends of ours. We cannot help that.
It is time that this city was supplied
with the water which is so copiously
stored under our feet; and any man who
hinders it is making a very bad record
months, a lack of water in the mountains
has caused a scarcity in the water sup
ply of the city. This scarcity has been
gradually increasing, until now the flow
of water in the pipes usually ceases at
8 a.m., and in most parts of the city seldom returns until late in the evening.
In some parts of the town thirty-six
hours have passed without water. As
the weeks go on, the mountain and valley springs whit h supply the various
reservoirs run low or dry up. There is
always some water, and will continue to
be, unless the drought increases, which
is unlikely ; but the supply is wholly inadequate to the demand, and large portions of the city are becoming unsightly
from the drying up of lawns and gardens.
The government have created an elaborate and expensive gravity-system, and
are deriving from it an immense revenue.
The supply is so far adequate to the fastincreasing wants of the city, during rainy
weather. When three or four inches a
month are falling, and only a little more
is needed on our lawns, or when the
valley rain-fall is copious, keeping the
pipes full, we do very well indeed. Hut
this state of plenty rarely obtains more
than one-half the time. During the
other half of the year, we are painfully for himself.
The Prince Consort passed away
expectedly and suddenly a few minutes
before 5 h.m. on the 27th of August.
He had been for several weeks suffering
severely from a complication of maladies.
This sad event has deeply afflicted the
Queen, and placed the Court in mourn-
ing, arresting the great preparations for
festivities on the Royal Birthday, September 2d.
Governor Dominis was in his sixtieth
year, born at Schenectady, N. V., March
10, 18.'i2. His mother was a cultivated
Bostonian, his father an Italian who had
risen to command in the American merchant service. Captain Dominis was,
for many years, in lucrative trade in the
Pacific, his family residing in Honolulu
since about 1837. He was lost at sea
in 1850, his widow residing until her
death in 1889 in the home mansion in
Washington Place.
The son received his early education
mainly in Honolulu. On the discovery
of gold in California, he followed the
rush from the Islands at the age of
seventeen, serving as a book-keeper to
merchants in San Francisco. Returning to Honolulu in 1850, he became
book-keeper with Charles Brewer. He
subsequently became private secretary
to Kamehameha IV. On the 16th of
September 1862, he was united in marriage to Miss Lydia K. Paki, now Queen
Liliuokalani. On the death of Governor
Kekuanaoa, he was appointed Governor
of Oahu, an office that he held for more
than twenty years. In 1874 he accompanied King Kalakaua, his brother-inlaw, to Washington, and in 1887, with
his wife and the Queen Kapiolani, attended the Jubilee celebration of Queen
Victoria, anil was received at Windsor
Palace.
Governor Dominis was a gentleman
of somewhat retiring disposition, and of
quiet bearing, but of good judgment
His counsels in public affairs were generally reliable and serviceable, and were
given with tact. The country undoubtedly owes much to his sound judgment
and conciliatory action in difficult cir-
-
cumstances.
Her Majesty, Queen Liliuokalani, will
receive the profound sympathy of the
nation, in being thus bereaved of both
husband and brother in a single year.
It is our prayer that her sorrow may be
mitigated by her enjoying the most
affectionate regard of all classes of her
people.

Mrs. Clarissa C. Armstrong.
in visitation of the people, much of the
time on foot, carriages being hardly
known, and saddle horses not easy to
provide for. Her influence was great
with the women of the church.
In 18 18, after the death of Mr. Richards, Mr. Armstrong left the Mission
for the King's service as Minister of
Public Instruction, Rev. F. W. Clark becoming pastor of Kawaiahao Church.
For many long years after this, howevt i.
Mis. Armstrong continued as a work ol
love, systematic labors among the
women, many of whom now advanced
in life, hold her in most grateful rememberance.
For many years she took
charge of the Friday prayer-meeting fur
the women. A work which stands as a
peculiar monument of her public spirit,
was the planting of the church grounds
and graveyard with the algeroba and
other trees now standing there. Our
older citizens, who knew that treeless,
I).ti it n region forty and even thirty years
ago, can understand what an immense
conversion that was of Kawaiahao from
Mrs. Ann
unsightliness to beauty.
strong stimulated the people, and especially the women to the work, personally superintending the whole of it, in
the broiling sun. A majority of the old
trees have been removed; but the growth
of the remainder suffices to fill the gaps.
Until in advanced age, Mrs. Armstrong revisited the States but once.
After Dr. Armstrong's death in 1860,
she continued to reside at the old home,
now Punahou Preparatory, Her children being all abroad, in about IWJ3 she
sold her home, and removed to San
Francisco, in which city and in San
Jose she spent several quiet and happy
years. A very delightful episode was a
trip to the Fast in May, ISS7, m the
private car of Mrs. Heminway, who
cared for her as a daughter.
Mrs.
Heminway had long been a munificent
friend of the Hampton School. After due
rest in Mrs. Heminway's home at the
seaside, the aged mother was taken to
the school of her eminent son at Hampton, and permitted to see the great work
in which she had felt a mother's pride.
She there addressed an audience of 700,
recounting experiences of missionary
In Mf.moriam..
Especial regard is due to the memory
of this venerable lady, as one for more
than forty years peculiarly identified
with Honolulu and its Christian work.
She was born in 1805 in Russell, Mass.,
and had matured into the noble and
vigorous woman, of strong judgment,
bright speech, and earnest spiritual con
secration, whom Richard Armstrong
found and won, to bear him company to
the then remote Pacific islands. They
sailed for Honolulu November With,
1831, arriving in the following May.
After one year spent here in learning
the language, Messrs. Alexander, Armstrong, and Parker with their wives,
were selected to form a new mission to
the Marquesas Islands, sailing July 3,
1833. Over six months were spent at
Nukuhiva among an exceedingly degraded and cannibal tribe of savages.
Their experiences were most trying and
fearful. Some of them have been graphically recorded by Mrs. Armstrong's pen.
In comparison with the Marquesas, the
Hawaiians on their return, though still
in much of their primitive condition,
seemed truly civilized. That mission
was surrendered to the claims of the
London Missionary Society, as being
south of the equator. The three families
reached Honolulu again May 12, 1834,
happy to be back in something like
civilization. One child had been born
at Nukuhiva to the Parkers, now the
veteran pastor of Kawaiahao Church.
An infant daughter of the Armstrongs
had accompanied her parents, now Mrs.
E. G. Beckwith. A son was born to
them at Nukuhiva, deceased a yeai
later.
The Armstrongs labored one year at
Haiku on Maui, and over live years at
Wailuku, associated there with the
Greens, and later with the IJaileys,
Mrs. Armstrong developing great power
to influence the women, and not least,
the children. In November, 18JO, the
Rev. Hiram Bingham left Honolulu for

Mrs. Armstrong was meantime active
The funeral was held at the First
-
Congregational Church of which she
was a member. Rev. Janus M. Alexander conducted the services. Her aged
associate at Wailuku, Mr. Kdward Bailey
contributed some interesting and touching words. There were floral offerings
from her former Chinese Sunday
scholars. A beautiful one was contributed in the name of the Hawaiians, by
Mrs. Samuel Parker, wife of our Minister of Foreign Allans, a lady whose
mother, (Miss Kiltie Richardson), had
been a pupil of the deceased at Wailuku. The sacred form was conveyed

in Oakland. The benediction was pronounced by Mr. Alexander in the Hawaiian tongue.
The Woman's Board of Missions for the
Pacific Islands.
The Twentieth Annual Report of this
important society has been issued from
the press. As elsewhere, the Woman's
Board has made for itself a most prominent place in promoting missionary enterprise, by its gifts hot only, but by the
interest and enthusiasm for the Work
which it cultivates. We cull and here
present leading points in the Report,
which closes with June, 1891.
We find the amount of $1 198 to have
been actually applied during the year to
home and foreign missionary work.
This is beside Society expenses and incidentals. The Board has paid $W0
each to two lady teachers of Ponape girls,
$260 to Chinese mission work, $2<>o to
Miss Green as city missionary, and $48
to Bible Readers, who are Hawaiian
women under Miss (men's direction.
One hundred dollars have also been applied to ''Micronesian Stores," or present to
catechists.
A society affiliated to the Woman's
Board is the Missionary Gleaners, consisting chiefly of young ladies and
of the Sunday Schools. This society
actually applied to Mission work, the
sum of $356.15, including $22 for employing the devoted Bible-reader Kanalulu, lately deceased. $50 to Kawaiahao
Seminary, and $200 towards support of
Mrs. Rami. Of this amount $261.65
were proceeds of two garden-parties held
in October and in May.
Still another auxiliary is the "Lima
Kokti.t" or Helping Hand, which applied
$w5 to Mission work (S2O of this through
other Societies). The eight meetings of
the year were held in the fine hall of
Kawaiahao Seminary, whose pupils constitute a large part of the membership.
Many interesting addresses were given.
Miss lloppins' [oumal letters from Kusaie were of great help.
The Woman's Board held a public
meeting of especial interest on June 24th.
Mrs. Rand addressed them on the destruction of their work and their houses
by the Spaniards in Ponape, and on

their experiences in the hurricane at Rustic. Calling at Ponap,- in April, on
their return to Honolulu, "A dear Christian woman put hei arms about me and
said, 'My mother, have you come tt> stay
with us ?' They were sad in heart when
we told them 'No. We were not allowed to hold any meetings on the island.''
Miss Palmer also spoke, much worn as
she was by the labors of s-.ven ye..is, the
last ones so severely trying. The gifted
Mrs. Alice Gordon Gulick of San Sebastian, Spain, made a most excellent ad
dress, bringing the salutations of three
Woman's Boards, those of Boston, ol
the Interior, Chicago, and of the Pacific,
California. She told how during their
eighteen years id Spain, Evangelistic
work had grown ami prospered. A gieat
work now in hand is a Training School
for girls and te i hers.
A prominent feature in the work ot
the Woman's Board, is that of Miss
Mary Green, as a missionary chiefly to
Hawaiians in this city, with Queen
Rmma House as headquarters. Much
time is spent in accompanying the visits
of the six Bible Readers, at the homes
of the native people, in conducting
weekly meetings of the "Band of
Hope." in visiting the Queen's Hospital,
the Lunalilo Home and the Station
House. Many ships have also been
visited, and supplied with Bible and
reading matter.
The Woman's Board maintains a
close connection with the Chinese and
Portuguese Mission work, in which
ladies have such a prominent part, also
with the Girls' schools of Kawaiahao,
Makawao and Kohala. Special reports
are included in this pamphlet, from Mrs.
F. W. Damon, Mrs. C. M. Hyde, Mrs.
J. M. Whitney, also from Mrs. A. X.
Fisher, on the work among the Japanese.
We are very glad that this Report includes so many subjects. It gives wide
views presented in a peculiarly interesting manner of the general mission field
with which our churches are connected.
It thus in a most import..nt manner.
supplements the Annual Report of the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and
conveys intelligence of the work to
many persons whom that publication
does not reach, or perhaps would not
equally interest.
The Political Importance of Small Landholdings
for the Hawaiian Islands.
A careful and thoughtful article on
this topic has been published in the /'. C.
Advertiser. It was originally read before
the Social Science Association by Mr.
Justice S. B. Dole. He point* out that
Plantation employment being unpopular,
there is a constant accretion of the l.tboi
ing class to the metropolis, and that this
tendency is increased by the great difficulty of securing desirablefarm holdings
accessible to any market. This laboring
element so herded In the city he regards
as likely to be a dangerous one, while

working landholders are the most desirable element in any country.
Judge Dole therefore advocates "a
generous opening of public lands to set
tiers, giving particular attention to the
occupancy of small holdings." He es
timates the public domain, consisting of
Government and Crown Lands, as containing 7o,i()0 acres of cane land, and
30,000 of good coffee land, besides 50..
II n more of pasture land available for
agriculture, or 150,000 acres in all. Of
this, 7.0110 acres have been laid out as
holdings under the homestead law. Mr.
Dole advocates an active and energetic
policy of placing these lands in reach ol
small holders.
He also points out the large areas of
the best lands held by private owners as
glazing and forest land, or held merely
for speculative purposes. He advocates
such mollification of tax laws as would
compel such owners either to improve
then estates 01 sell them to small holders. He also suggests an early conversion of the Crown Lands into public
property, so that they can be treated as
other Government lands are.
Two hundred and thirteen home
steads have been created during a
previous biennial period. This is bill
a beginning of what is needed These
are about equally divided between Hawaiians and foreigners, mainly Portuguese. The system must be greatly enlarged, extended and varied. Judge Dole
points out great superiority of the landsystem of New Zealand, which encour
ages small settlers, to those ol New
South Wales and Victoria, which have
given enormous estates to graziers therein- hindering the growth of a ruial population and crowding thecities. Sydney
and Melbournealone contain iO per cent.
of the people of those two colonies, while
the four chief towns of New Zealand
contain only 20 per cent, of the whole
population.
The article closes as follows:
"If with ouravailable publicand private
lands we should, by the intelligent adoption and administration of a wise land
policy, create some three or four thousand holdings within the next ten or fifteen years, owned, inhabited and used
by their occupiers, each one becoming a
home and family inheritance, and equal
to the generous maintenance of a healthy
family .life, would we not be working more
effectively for the future peace and prosperity of our country than would bo
possible by any other disposition of our
resources ?"

We sought recuperation last week in
an afternoon run to Ewa Plantation, and
observation of the new mill and machinery. The great structure is mostly
closed in with its corrugated iron covering. We climbed twenty feet or more
to a flooring at the top of the diffusioh
cells, whence a fine outlook was had
over the lands. A large tract has just
69
been ploughed and planted, say 150
acres, next the coral below the mill.
The machinery is, much of it, already
in place. The twenty-eight long diffusion cells, with their pipes and appurtenances, occupy the east end. On the
south side, somewhat elevated, are four
strange iron boxes for evaporating the
juice, marked "Multiple Effect, Swensun's Patent, Fort Scott, Kansas."
They look like mammoth Saratoga
trunks. A long range of eighteen centrifugal separators occupy a central
position, with the iron stagings above
them for the great triple effect vacuum
pans. The engines, the rolling mill,
the slicers, were apparently not yet on
the ground. Some very solid masonry
of squared stones was being finished,
the stones having been delivered from
Honolulu by rail much more cheaply
than they could have been hauled by
cart from the neighboring hillsides.
Nine hundred acres of very handsome
cane have four months yet to grow before being shavtd into thin slices, and
their juice soaked out in the diffusion
cells. This is the new process, as unlike the old, as flour milling with rollers
to the old millstone process. A crop
of over 1,000 tons is hoped for.
On the return train, we were boarded
at Pearl City by Dr. and Mrs. J. M.
Whitney, looking brown and hearty,
from a few weeks' outing at Kahuku,
the extreme north point of Oahu, 48
miles from Honolulu. They had come
'My miles by stage, on the first through
trip of White's Stage Line. Dr. W. reports the Kahuku cane as having a magnificent growth, a statement confirmed by
Mr. Halstead, the successful Waialua
planter. Tiny were much interested in
the strange sandstone cliffs at Kahuku,
which need additional study, though
discussed by Dana an 1 others. They
had also feasted on the noble oranges of
the Kahuku valleys, the last of the old
crop. The Kahuku and Waialua oranges
far surpass in size and quality any others
that appear in the Honolulu market.
A Ponape Symposium.—On Saturday,
Aug. 15th, the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society held their monthly meeting at Mr. W. W. Hall's. The evening
was given mainly to receiving information about the island of Ponape. Queen
Liliuokalani was present by invitation,
listening with interest. Mr. Rand first
gave a topographical account, aided by
a map. Prof. Alexander briefly discussed the racial and language relations of
the inhabitants. Mrs. Rand read a spirited and compact account of the late
Spanish occupation, and the difficulties
with the people. All felt much indebted
for these illustrations of the subject.

THE FRIEND.
Homesteads.
We give elsewhere, an- abstract of
Judge Dole's valuable paper on the importance of small land-holdings. It must
be generally felt that the class of farmers
of moderate means is the one most
needed to be created in this country.
Our Portuguese fellow-citizens will naturally contribute largely to supplying
this valuable class of the community.
As resources for remunerative culture,
there will be coffee, cotton, dairy products,
hay, and especially fruits for exportation, such as oranges and pineapples.
For the profitable culture of fruits, the
farmer must have ready access to a leading seaport. Much will have to be done
by the government in building roads into the splendid coffee lands of Kona and
Puna on Hawaii, and through other
districts. The extension of the Oahu
Railway around this island will bring
large tracts of valuable uplands into
communication with Honolulu.
The conversion of Crown Lands to
the public use is becoming loudly called
for, the Sovereign to receive a proper
annuity in lieu of the present revenue
from those lands. These valuable lands
will then furnish large numbers of excellent homesteads to settlers, the taxes on
which will form an important addition
to the public revenue.
The present depression of sugar must
render many plantations unprofitable.
This will tend to make many considerable tracts of private land available to
homestead purchasers. Sugar has been
an immense resource for the development of this country. Yet one's ideal
for our future, must look to the multiplication of a myriad cheerful country
homes, rather than to the absorption of
the country by great plantations, to the
exclusion of homesteads, with their
wholesome social influence-.
Work upon the Volcano Road is reported to have been resumed. The
finished half has been such a comfort to
travelers that much impatience has been
felt at the long delay in building the upper half of the road. The new route
adopted is said to be a very interesting
one. The new Hotel at Kilauea is to
be finished in October. When the road
is finished, it will be within four hours
smooth driving from Hilo, through most
picturesque scenes, and must speedily
become a place of great resort.
The Royal Progress.—By a recen
visit to Waianae and Ewa on this island,
Her Majesty has completed her very
thorough and systematic touring of the
kingdom. She has thus shown herself
personally to nearly all her subjects.
She has expressed interest in theii
welfare, has given them much good
advice, and by her kindly and sympathetic demeanor, has done much
to create a personal attachment and
confidence. As The Friend has had
occasion to remark in past years, there
has been a pernicious atmosphere about
the Palace, inherited from past reigns.
This is so strong and abiding that only
great force of personal excellence in the
Sovereign can make the Court a source
of wholesome influence. We are glad
to record that, so far as we can learn,
the Queen has done much to carry with
her such healthy influence, as she has
visited her people. We earnestly pray
and hope that her reign may prove to
be a most beneficient one to the Hawaiian race.
[September, 1891.
Rev. A. N. Fisher.—We deeply regret that by the advice of his physician
in San Francisco, this able and devoted
brother, has felt compelled to resign his
charge of Superintending the Methodist
Episcopal Mission to the Japanese in
these islands, which he has so ably conducted. Mrs. Fisher after awaiting
advices, took passage last week in the
Australia to join her husband. The
congregation at Central Union Church
felt peculiarly favored on July 26th, by
two sermons of remaikable spiritual and
literary grace from our dear brother,
who preached in much bodily weakness,
but great spiritual strength.
The death of Mrs. Joanna Rosa is

Our Delegate at the International Council.
Ben Hogan.
On Sunday evening Aug. 2.3d, a well
packed house at Central Union Church,
listened to Ben Hogan the reformed
pugilist. Large numbers of the audience
were persons rarely seen in a church.
He told with a certain graphic simplicity
a story of his life just before his conversion, which was not edifying, except as
its dark shadow illustrated his change
to the light. He was then unable to
read, but making large sums of money,
and living stylishly at hotels, drinking
freely of wine, and gambling. While
cruising about town with his much
tried wife, in search of amusements, hedrifted into a Sunday night meeting in a
theater. There he signed a temperance
pledge. After three days of painful
keeping of it, he was on the point of
seeking something to brace up his
nerves. A sight of himself in a glass
disclosed a ghastly, shattered condition.
The strong athlete, proud of his physique
seemed becoming a wreck. He was
horrified. A mighty power seized upon
him. He fell upon his knees, and cried
to God to save him out of this ruin.
His heart was filled with a strange
triumph and joy. He went out among
all his boon companions, telling them
"I pray"! Just those words "I pray" !
They thought him insane. But from
that he went forward, learned to read
the Bible, and spent all his money in
efforts to convert souls. We were
deeply moved to think how the merciful
loving Spirit stooped to touch and vivify
that poor blind soul, and fill him with
divine joy. He had sought his Father.
He had found Him. Can each of us
truly say, "I pray" I
The Intel national Council of Congregational Chinches having invited the
Hawaiian Churches to participate, Justice Lawrence McCully was commissioned as our Delegate to the great
meeting of the Council held in London
in July. Mr. and Mrs. McCully report
themselves to have been most hospitably
entertained, and have greatly enjoyed
the meetings. Judge McCully was listened to with much interest on the 21st,
the closing day, in an address of some
ten minutes, in which he briefly reviewed the religious condition of the Islands,
and spoke favorably of the Queen, and
of the good order of the country. We
may congratulate ourselves .in having
secured so capable a representative in
this important Council.

A Fri'it CULTURE Movement. Several persons have recently started plans
for raising pineapples at Fwa, and two
fruit companies have been formed for
cultivating those and other fruit. The
location is considered a good one, chosen
mainly with reference to easy trans
portation by rail. The upland valleys
of that region are known to be especially
adapted to orange culture, and Manager
Dillingham is advertising for 50.11(10
orange seedlings to be delivered within
sixteen months, doubtless in order to
facilitate the evidently active movement.
We strongly welcome this fruit movement, because we believe it has every
element of success, and because it pro
mises to create a class of intelligent
agriculturists. This class is one of the
greatest social needs of this country.
Bare-footed Bill.- Like "Jack the
Ripper", this is the mythical name of
an individual who occasionally leaves
tracks of huge bare feet. He enters one
or more places of business burglariously
on each of two or three nights in a week.
Nearly all of these places are within a
pistol shot of the Police Station, on
streets filled with the glare of electric
lights. Several stores immediately adjacent to the Station have been entered.
The burglar does some damage in
breaking in and breaking open desks
and drawers. He takes little save coin,
gaining from $5 to $10, and occasionally
a larger haul. This has been going on
for several weeks. For some reason,
the police have failed to gain any clue
to this marauder. The public wait with
interest to hear that he has looted the
police station itself. Otherwise the city
seems to be dwelling in profound peace
and safety. Uncle Sam has for several
weeks not regarded us as needing the
protection of a war vessel, and we seem
not to be disquieted thereby.
Telephone on Hawaii.—Our Hawaii
friends are rejoicing in the completion

John Wise is spending his suinmei
vacation doing carpenter work in Oher
lin. In speaking of bis trip to North
field to attend the Convention for BibleStudy held at the Moody school, he
writes, "We left Oberlm June 'Jt'.tli, and
saw Buffalo, Albany, Troy, Hoosac
Tunnel, and arrived at Northfield June
27th, at 1:30 p.m. After a half hour's
ride we reached the grounds. The hills
and the valleys reminded me of my
island home, and for a time I was quite
homesick. We had our liist meeting at
8 P.M., and I saw Mr. Moody for the
first time. I went up to him and had
quite a talk with him. At the farewell
meeting (which closed the convention)
I was called on ami made a ten-minute
speech. Over 500 students were present
from all around the world, and 1 am
sure we all received great blessings. I
feel that I have gained much by this
going east lam stronger for my work.
I would like to go once more to Northfield before returning home, because I
feel that my work will be of an evangelistic nature and Mr. Moody can help
me a great deal. We heard Dr. Smith
of Edinburgh, Prof. Thompson of Philadelphia, Prof. Harper of Chicago, Prof.
Munhall (of I forget where}, and many
others. The whole atmosphere of
Northfield is filled with the glory of
God, to see the place is to know that
Cod dwells there."
The Hon. Lawrence McCully, our
Delegate to the Pan-Congregational
Council held in London, writes (July
13th): "About ten days ago, I presented
my credentials to the Assistant Secretary
received. Being asked if we would accept private hospitality, I expressed
some doubt as to the propriety of it in
my case, as we were already living at a
hotel, and we might not employ all our
time in attending the meetings of the
council, having some sight-seeing yet to
do. On being told that my conscientious difficulty need not be a difficulty,
I assented. He told me we had been
selected for guests by a Mr. Albert
Spicer, about the nicest house they had.
By what 'suites' Mr. Spicer made this
selection in the dark I know not, but
going there on the 11th, the Saturday
evening proceeding the week of the
Council, we find that the lines of your
delegates have truly fallen in pleasant
places.
"Mr. Spiieis's family live at Woodford
on the edge of Kpping Forest, a halfhour's ride by train from the Liverpool
Station. Here is a commodious and
well-appointed house in ample grounds.
We have spent the Sunday and have
promise of a most pleasant week. There
will be other guests in the house, two of
which have arrived. Dr. Kaseby and

fixed by any circumstance. I was proud
ol our Americans in the speeches made
at the breakfast.
"You will see by the piogramme that
apparently all the work is cut and dried
for the men selected to give papers, and
nothing heft lor debate or committee
business. So your delegate may, probably must, represent you by attendance
merely at meetings, breakfasts and garden parties, and by social interviews, of
which I shall make many."

Logan corrected it and I read it as best
I could. Now Ido not often ask corrections, and sometimes talk without the paper.
I fouud it very much easier to read the
language than to understand it when I hear
it spoken. I have tried two small meetings one with some ol the women and one
with some of the girls who are in the
general School.
I have visited a few of the huts, homes

my work at home, among the colored

Monthly Meeting.
The business meeting of the V.M
.(
.A.
for August was opened with some lilleen
members present, President G. P. Castle
presiding.
In the Treasure's absence the Secretary read his report, showing total receipts for the month $693.31; disbursements $559.fi11, leaving a balance on
hand $132.71. Besides the ordinary
expenses $2(> for Chess Tables and Slfor Bibles were expended.
The General Secretary, H. W. Leek,
reports continuance of the praise worthy
spirit lately manifested in our Sabbath
evening meetings. The Art and Science
classes are reported as increasing in
numbers. Several of the Y. M. C. A.
committees are to be strengthened by
the addition of new members.
The report of the Chairman of
Devotional Ce>mmittee printed elsewhere,
speaks of some changes in the Friday
night meetings. It is full of interest.
Chairman C. B. Ripley of the Temperance Committee says: "During the
past two months we have been engaged
in securing inforniatiem and statistics
which will be used in aggressive tun
perance work at the proper time.'' This
committee has had special meetings,
and in them, has prepared the preliminary work looking towards the formation
of a Temperance League.
Chairman J. E. Hid well of the Visitation Ce>mmittee reports special meeting and appointment of various mem
bers to the different departments of the
work. Twelve sick calls were made
this month. Fifteen vessels have been
visited, with very gratifying results. A
destitute family was supported and look
ed after for some time until taken in
charge by a society. An Australian
Y. M. C. A. man was found in one of
the vessels. He was overjoyed to Snd
a Y. M. C. A. in Honolulu.
Chairman E. Bennerof the Invitation
Committee tells us of their successful
efforts in detailing the members of the
Committee to individual work. They
will cooperate with the visitation committee in street work, and have decided
to remodel the Invitation Cards. They
are firmly determined te> do more e>utside work on the streets and among the
shipping.
The Chairman of the Reading Room
Committee, Dr. Hyde, reports the rooms
well patronized by an appreciative public. Among the newspapers, the S. I'\
Alta has been replaced by the S. F. Examiner. The Committee would gladly
send reading matter to any locality em
the Islands as well as among the shipping if communicated with. A request
is made that the place left vacant by
Mr. K. A. Jones he filled.
Chairman F. J. Lowrey of the Entertainment Committee reports two special
committee meetings this month. At the
first was considered an offer from California parties to give a series of illustrated lectures. The Cominitte were unable
to avail themselves of the offer. The
Rev. W. 11. Gulick was invited to give
a talk on Spain, which he did to an appreciative audience. At the second
meeting, it was decided to arrange for a
series of six practical talks. But in
view of Mr. Hogan's presence with us,
as well as the public lectures of the Art
and Science Club, it was decided to
leave the elates of tlie:se six talks open
for the- present. An entertainment from
which it is hoped to realise financially
is also in view for the near future.
Chairman G P. Castle of Employment Committee gave an oral report in
which he told of many applications for
work. The Committee have been able
to find employment for but few.
No report was received from the Fin-
ance Committee.
A collection of $6 was taken up.
Five new voting members, Messrs.
Ellis, Castino, Kayser, Rhodes and Dr.
Nichols, and two new associate members, Messrs. Putnam anil Silva, seven
in all, were- added to the Association.
The special report of the Temperance
Committee on the new league was submitteel.
It
was
decided that
a
special
meeting of the Y. M. C. A. be called to
consider this report.
The suggestion of putting wire mosquito netting in the windows anil door
ef the Reading Room was referred to the
Board of Directors.
A very interesting talk by Mr. Hogan
on his experiences in temperance work,
closed what was perhaps the most interesting meeting ol the year.

Winning Men.
How can we win men ?" has been a
ever present to Christians.
No one can give an unqualified answer.
Some general methods may be stated,
which when varied to suit any particular
Paul, in
case will generally succeed.
I Cor, 10:32, 33, gives us one secret of
his success.
" Give DO occasion of stumbling either
to Jews or to Greeks, or to the Church
of God ; even as I also please all men in
all things not seeking mine own profit,
but the profit of the many that they may
be saved."
Paul was a close student of human
nature. As far as possible he adapted
himself to the men with whom he came in
contact. To the Jew, proud of his descent from Abraham, he dwelt upon the
honors anel glories of such an ancestor,
but led up to the one theme- Christ.
The learnedly superstitious Athenian al-

ways ready to hear some new doctrine
was taught Christ from an inscription
on an altar "To the Unknown God."
Paul took advantage of any tendency in
the right direction.
Starting with something upon which
all agreed he leel up to the higher truth.
He avoided exciting opposition or arousing prejudice, yet no man could state, or
did state, the truth in plainer terms. The
secret of it was that he used his common
sense in religitius matters as well as in
worldly affairs. Now, perhaps, we can
give a better answer to the question,
"How will you win a man ?" By knowing him, studying him. Study him as carefully as ye>u possibly can. Find out the
trend of his thoughts. Find out his
prejudices and his preferences. How is
it possible to do this in every case? It
is not possible for everyone to know each
case even e>f those with whom we often

is possible for each Christian to thoroughly know the character of at least a
few. If each of us would use that knowledge for God, as we do use it in advancing our business, what a change would
appear in the religious life of our neighbors and ourselves !
The world is full of God. His hand

that? Why, use it to win your brother.
Somewhere in each human heart you
will find nuggets of gold deposited by
the Spirit at God. Dig them out of
your brother's life and use them as
the nucleus for the deposit of more. Is
he a lover of home or is he loyal to a
friend ? Take that as your starting
point, encourage him in that, and yet by
your thought and life show the superiority of "The Friend, that sticketh closer
than a brother."
We often have need to win a brother
Christian. What an ignoble sight it is
to find men who profess to have taken
upon themselves the name of Christ and
yet are not men on speaking terms.
How painfully true it is that Christians
often run down each other's reputation.
Do we expect to win our brother in that
way? Men who pray for help to the
same God. Men who are fighting their
way upward to Ge>d by the aid of His
spirit, are femnel picking flaws in each
e>ther. Getd deicsn't do that; nor is it
Godlike to do it —the very reverse. How
can we win a brother ? By doing as
(iod does.
He who knows all things and can
fully appreciate the struggles, failures
and victories of these human hearts ever
uplifts, ever listens with infinite tenderness to the faintest prayer for help to
live the Christ-like life; He it is that we
shoulel imitate. What shall be said of
a Christian, who wraps himself up in exclusiveness, folds himself up in the robes
of "social distinction," and can find little or no heartfelt and action-producing
sympathy for those whose natural life is
on a lower plane—what shall be said ?

of Christianity, viz., love to God as seen
in our love for man. It can't be simulated. It isn't patronizing or condescending. It is natural, for when a man hecomes a Christian, he is born into a new

haps, we shrink from the cold, calculating, commercial view of the Atonement,
wherein the sufferings of Christ are represented as thrown into one arm of the
scales to balance the weight of human
desert cast into the other. * *
Criticizing, however, that "steel-yard"
method of interpreting atonement, is an
entirely different thing from saying that
the guilt of our sins, yours and mine,
does not need in some way to be compensated for. The theory that if a man
does wrong, all that is necessary in order
to have the case made good, is that he
should repent of the wreing, is demoralizing; it would be fatal to the administration of civil government; and is just
as certain to blur, in man's estimate, the
administration of the divine government.
It cheapens holiness, and keeps iniquity
in good spirits. It is a thought ingrained in the human mind, history through,
that sin is stamped with a cost-mark.
The doctrine of sacrifice for sin has always kept pace with the keenness of the
sense of sin. *
*
There is almost nothing that we need
more to feel than that sin is bad, and
the more feeling we do have of that, the
clearer it becomes to us that sin needs
to have some sort of notice taken of it,
and that pain is its natural seeiuencs.
NOW Atonement fits that fact ; I do not

But there is the

Cross! Sin needs to have some notice
taken of it, and sin has there had some
notice taken of it. And by accepting as
my Savior the Lamb of God, who on the
Cross was made a sacrifice for Sin, I
became a participant in the purposed
benefits of that sacrifice. *
We are saved not by our theory of the
atonement, but by the atonement. Sometinn s I have one theory of it, and sometimes I have another theory of it, and
more commonly I haven't any theory of
it, but that does not interrupt its efficacy,
any more than having no theory in regard to light prevents the daylight from
coming in at the windows. "God so
loved the world, that he gave His onlybegotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life,.—C. H. Parkliurst.
Find earth where grows no weed, and
you may find a heart whert no error

Nothing' is ever done beautifully,
which is done in rivalship; nor nobly,

For insult given, the noblest vengeance is forgetfulness forever.
The soul has no pillow on which to

looking off upon the city with its rapidly

trained hands and eyes that have fashioned #all these beautiful dwellings,
stores, and churches. They Jiave all
been planned and devised by the brains
of the mechanics who have risen in theii
calling by diligence and study. Our
mechanics have directly created this
beautiful city by their skill and their labor. Without their knowledge, their
aptitude, their toil, it could not have
been bettered above the thatched cottages that dotted these grounds fifty
years ago.
It is well then that our Mechanics
should unite to promote their own and
the public welfare. To every such organization that they form, we wish the
best direction and the highest efficiency.
Our public affairs need the ablest and
best organized aid of this essential and
prominent element in the-community.
Every public interest needs their active
cooperation. Every reform needs their
assistance. Especially do the personal
IN MEMORIAM.
Mrs. Melicent K. Smith.
This beloved and honored Missionary
mother was taken to her rest last week,
after some twenty months of severe illness. She died at her home in Koloa,
Kauai, Sept. 24th, in the 75th year of
her age. During nearly the whole of
the period named she had been confined
to her bed, requiring constant care by
day and night. In immediate care of
their mother, were the Misses Emma
and Juliette Smith, and Dr. J. K. Smith.
The deceased was born at Greenwich,
Ct., Oct. 15th, 1818, Dr. and Mrs.
Smith, with Rev. and Mrs. Rowell sailed
from Boston in 1842, via Cape Horn,
in the brig Abigail, of 210tons, arriving
at Honolulu, Sept. 21st. She had resided in this Kingdom just forty-nine
years, without once leaving the islands.
Indeed she rarely left her home on
Kauai.
On that island she was a
radiant center of influence. Rare mental and personal charms, a character of
strength and force, a consecrated and
elevated spirit, made her a power for
good to the people for whom she and
her noble husband labored. They also
made her a person of the highest social
importance on that island. One could
hardly be said to have known Kauai,
who had not sojourned in the gracious
and hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs.
Smith, which was the only stopping
place for strangers passing through
Koloa.
During the arduous labors of Dr.
Smith as a medical missionary, and his
frequent and protracted absences on
duty, often toother islands, Mrs. Smith's
great intelligence enabled her to take his
place in prescribing and supplying mcd-
icines to the natives and often to foreigners. Her labors in that work were often
heavy. She was peculiarly trusted and
loved by the people. In Sabbath School
work, and in the prayer meetings, her
labors were great, notwithstanding the
care of her large young family.
One of the most prominent and effective departments of Mrs. Smith's missionary work was in conducting, for a long
period, the Koloa Girls' Training School,
of some 2-r pupils, in conjunction with
her daughters, and for a time, her sister
Miss Knapp. From this school have
gone forth a large number of well trained
and useful Christian Hawaiian women.
Her mental faculties were active to
the last. She calmly conversed of her
approaching end, and arranged for it, in
the full assurance of faith and hope.
Of nine children, two died in infancy.
The survivors are Miss Emma C. Smith,
of Koloa; Mrs. Judge A. S. Hartwell, of
Honolulu; Hon. William O. Smith, of
Honolulu; Dr. Jared K. Smith, of Koloa;
Mr. Alfred H. Smith, of Ewa Plantation;
Mrs. Wm. Waterhouse, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Miss Juliette Smith, of
Koloa. Twenty grand children also survive her.
Thus has closed a noble life, rich in
beauty and in fruit. It is such lives as
these, which have planted deep in Hawaiian soil, the seeds of the highest life
and progress, and which have generated
all that is hopeful in our future.

Miracles.
There is abundant evidence that the
whole material universe undergoes all
its movements and changes according
to fixed, exact, and changeless laws. A
stone inevitably falls to the ground by
the law of gravity, unless something interposes. If you see stones go sailing
through the air instead of falling to the
ground, you impute that to the interfering agency of some person who is projecting the stones. There is no violation
of the law of gravity; that is immutable.
But a personal force is applied which
changes the result. This, however, is
not a miracle; because it is not wonderful. It is nothing but what human personal force is adequate to produce.
If Elijah smites the river with his
mantle, and the rushing water stops and
heaps up, leaving dry ground for the
prophet to cross upon, it is perfectly
reasonable and philosophical to infer that
a great personal force has been exerted
by some being to produce that wonderful effect. The Law of Gravity has not
been violated or neutralized, but its effect
has been counteracted by an opposing

There has been no fault in Higher
Criticism itself, in its true principles and
proper working. The error has lain in
a certain false and unphilosophical rule
of judgment, which has coirupted the
work of Strauss and Co. from beginning
to end, and has vitiated all their results.
That false canon or rule of Criticism has
been made by them a fundamental one,
and has plunged them into hopeless
mazes of error. Their chief canon is
this; wherever a miracle of any sort is
reported, it is an error. It is "unhistorical;" it is a thing impossible to have
happened. It must therefore be accounted for, either as a piece of wilful
deception on the part of the wonderworker, or else as a misconception of
fact on the part of the observers and narrators, if not a falsehood. If it is none
of these, and few of the Bible miracles
can be thus accounted for—the solution
is very simple; of coutse the story must
have been written long after the event,
when mists and marvels had gathered
about the history by natural accretion.
Consequently, the Gospels and other
books must have been written long after
the events described. This false rule of
criticism lies at the bottom of all the
critical work of Strauss, Baur, Renan,
and their many followers, and fully accounts for all their vagaries and untenable theories.
The work of these errorists has, nevertheless, been of the utmost use, in an
indirect way. It has led to such a profound and exhaustive searching of the
New Testament and of all books and
monuments contributing information
about it, that the Book is now known as
it never was before, and never would
have been known but for the tremendous
struggles of that war about its authen-
ticity.
HIGHER CRITICISM Of TUB OLD
•>
TESTAMENT.
The field of conflict has latterly been
transferred to the Old Testament, at
which a new set of Anti-miracle Critics
have set themselves with a zeal rivalling
that of those before named. They have
the advantage, such as it is, of working
in a region of greater obscurity. The
Hebrew language is less thoroughly understood than the Greek. Moses and
the other writers lived when no other
histories were written. There was no
contemporary literature. It was all deep
back in the long ago. Kuenen, Wellhausen & Co., who have led in this work
can disport their fancies freely in constructing hypothesesof authorship, which
cannot so easily be disproved as those
of later periods. As miracles, they say,
are impossible, and God could not have
revealed himself to men as described,
they conclude that the five books of
Moses and that of Joshua, constituting
the "Hexateuch," are the work of later
writers, and of several different ones.
�Volume 49, No. 10.]
They also have a great variety of differ- teuch, and many other points for which
ent hypotheses about the oftier books. they seem to find strong evidence, but
In fact they have among them several who yet cling firmly to the principle of
hundred different parts of schemes for a direct revelation to Israel from God,
explaining how the books came to be
written, all more or less contradictory of
each other. They only agree in the belief that Moses and the earlier prophets
could not possibly have written them.
The points in which the Higher Critics are most generally agreed, are that
the work of from four to six different
writers (Kuenen makes seventeen; Wellhausen twenty-two) can be traced in the
Hexateuch. These different men, living
between 900 and 45(1 B. C, had part in
composing ourpresent Pentateuch, which
may be divided into four main documents, marked D, E, J, P, mixed together in great confusion, and now with
great difficulty partly disentangled. E
is an "Elohist" writer; J is a "Jehovist;"
D is a "Deuteronomist;" P is a "Priestcodist." Many add R for "Redactor."
These subtle critics are able to discern
and distinguish infallibly the different
styles of the several writers, and to disentangle their separate contributions
from each other, as they are intermingled
in the same chapters. They do this by
their peculiar critical insight and acumen,
as one distinguishes the handwritings of
his acquaintances from each other. The
reasons for their conclusions can be imparted only to minds like their own in
gifts and attainments. The rest of the
world must accept the work of these
Critics in simple faith. As Dr. Howard
Osgood sets forth at length in the Independent of July 30th, their methods
and procedures are for the most part, in
the highest degree unscientific.
As an example, a recent writer of this
school has proved to his own satisfaction
that King David could not possibly have
composed any of the Psalms, because
he was too low and heathen in his ideas
about Jehovah, to have written such advanced and elevated thoughts of God.
It is the established conclusion of this
school of critics, that the Jehovah of the
Israelites was originally a tribal God,
like Chemosh of the Moabites, but that
the nation gradually and spontaneously
evolved or developed the idea of a Holy
Supreme Cod, not, however, until towards the time of the Exile. Evolution,
which accounts for everything, is made
to account for the wonderful and unique
religion of the Jews, although all the
neighboring nations, with the same environment, kept plunging deeper and
more darkly into polytheism, and but
for the Elijahs and the Isaiahs, dragging
Israel with them. 'These critics, as a
class, wholly discard the possibility of
any direct Revelation or Inspiration from
God.

and to the truth of miraculous interpositions. They are devout, earnest Christians, and men of profound learning,
such as Delitzch, Francis Brown, and
Charles A. Briggs. They may or may
not have been more or less carried away
by the specious arguments of the leading school of the HigherCritics. We have
no Semitic learning qualifying us to form
any judgment upon this question. It
seems to us not improbable that Moses
in Genesis and Exodus incorporated the
work of earlier writers. Nor is the idea
to be hastily rejected that lateradditions
to Moses' work may have been incorporated with the Pentateuch. Such
questions cannot be dogmatically settled,
but must be left to the study and research
of competent scholars and experts to see
what can be learned about them.
This school of Evangelical Critics, Dr.
Briggs, as we understand him, included,
firmly believe that God did directly and
continuously reveal his will and ways to
Noah, Abraham, Moses and Israel as
recorded in the Old Testament. To
them the questions of the precise authorship of the different books and parts of
books are of minor importance. They
feel that the whole Old Testament pulsates with the presence of the Living God,
and throbs with the power of the Holy
Ghost inspiring the Prophets of the
Lord. They do indeed depart from the
old ways of most of their churches, in
denying Plenary Inspiration to the book,
and admitting more or less Errancy to
exist, especially in merely historical
statements. But they appear to hold
strongly to a very mighty Dynamic Inspiration filling the Book, in such degree
and power, as to reveal God very clearly
and unmistakably, so as to render the
Book a sure guide in the knowledge of
His will and ways.
phasized by the action taken in his case
last June by the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church. Union Seminary had just elected Dr. Briggs to the
chair of Biblical Theology. By agreement of the Directors many years ago,
the General Assembly had the privilege
of vetoing such appointment. They exercised that power, and disapproved, by
an overwhelming majority of about 400

vote undoubtedly expresses the deliberate judgment of the majority of the ministers and elders of the Presbyterian
churches, that by reason of his errors,
this distinguished scholar and accom-
plished teacher is unfit to take part in
training their young ministers. This
vote does not pronounce him such a
heretic as to be unfit to teach the common people as a minister. That is the
business of his Presbytery. The Assembly only declares him unfit to train
young ministers to teach the people.
The Directors of Union Seminary have
formally declined to be governed by this
veto' of the Assembly. They stand by
their appointment. In so doing, they
undoubtedly set themselves in antagonism to the positive opinion of their
Church. The contest is necessarily a
very serious one.
The action of the Assembly was severely attacked by the friends of Dr.
Briggs in the N. Y. Evangelist. He
had no trial. He was not present. He
had no opportunity to answer his accusers.
No charges were formulated
against him. No friend of his was appointed on the Committee to consider
his case. The Chairman and leading
spirits of that Committee were chosen
from Princeton, the great rival of Union
Seminary.
It must probably be admitted that the
action of the Assembly would have had
more appearance of fairness and justice,
if that Committee had been differently
constituted, and the friends of Dr. Briggs
had been heard before it. It would also

In the September number of The Review of Reviews appears an article on
the Hawaiian Kingdom by Sereno E.
Bishop. A special head-line, "The
Cross-Roads of the Pacific," is given to
it on the title-page of the magazine.
150 copies were promptly sold out by
the news-rooms, and more are ordered.
To the writer of the article, its chief interest lies in certain forecastings as to
the effect upon our international relations, of the pending opening «f the
Nicaragua Canal. This also appears to
be the opinion of the American editor of
the Review, Dr. Albert Shaw, who solicited the writing of the article. The
reputation of the English editor, W. B.
Stead, has given this monthly an immense circulation. We have received
many favorable expressions about our
article, as adapted to be of service to
Hawaii abroad.
Homesteads.—Apropos of Judge
Dole's article, noticed in our last issue,
notice is given of fifty ten-acre homesteads to.be disposed of from Crown
Lands near Olaa, on the Volcano Road.
The leases are nominally for thirty years,
but will undoubtedly soon merge into
fee simple titles from the government.
The soil is of the richest, rain copious,
and road to Hilo the very best. This
will be a great boon to small farmers,
like the Portuguese. The lands are
suited to coffee, oranges, bananas, etc.,
and the higher tracts, to Irish potatoes.
Larger tracts in the same region are to
be had on long leases, which also will
soon become convertible into full titles.
About a month ago, there was serious difficulty at Kohala, between a large
body of Chinese laborers who came by
the Pactolus, and the Chinese agent who
had negotiated their labor with the
Planters. The trouble is charged to
resident Chinese, who were opposed to
a decline in wages, and who stirred up
the new comers to dissatisfaction with
their pay. It is credibly charged that
the police used considerable unnecessary
violence towards the complainants, who
were probably more or less disorderly.
No official report of the affair has yet
been made public. It is both right and
politic that full investigation should be
made, and exact justice should be done,
in the case of such new comers, as well
as of all other contract laborers.

The North Pacific Missionary Insti-
tute is to open on the 12th of October.
The Oahu Evangelical Association is
Waialua with
Pastor Timoteo. Exercises are to commence on Wednesday the 7th at 10 a.m.
to hold its fall meeting at
The contract for building the Portuguese Chapel at Hilo has been given to
Mr. Anderson, who has been doing some
fine work there of late in the line of
school building. The Chapel will probably be ready for occupancy by the latter part of November. When it is done
we shall expect to see a truly comely
structure and one just adapted for the
work. The building is to stand on a
sightly lot with ample room beside it (or
a parsonage.
Mr. Baptist and his people are to be
congratulated on the prospect of being
so speedily and nicely housed in a
church-home of their own.
On the 10th of September, Rev. A. C.
Walkup and two children sailed from
this port on the //. W. Almy for Apaiang. Consul Rand was also a fellowvoyager with him. Mr. Rand hopes ultimately to get as far as Ponape. Mr.
Walkup will probably stay at Apaiang
till the Star arrives. His presence will
be very welcome to the brethren of the
mission just at this time of great awakening. It is a source of deep regret to
us that he cannot at once begin touring
through the group. In view of the latest
news received it would seem especially
helpful could he do so. For these are
indeed critical days for that much-stirred
people, and they are in great need of
wise counsels and strong leadership.
The meeting of the Hawaii Association at Hilo was a full one, only two
pastors being absent, and only two parishes being without representation.
There weie eleven nativePastors present
and fifteen delegates. It is to the credit
of the Hawaiian brethren that they are
so generally faithful in their attendance
on these semi-annual gatherings, for the
doing of this is attended with much
labor, weariness and expenditure of time
and money.
The meetings began on Thursday the
10th at 10 a.m., and closed*Saturday at
5 p.m. Most of the guests were accommodated at the Haili Parsonage with
Pastor Desha, and meals were served
there bountifully every day. The scattered Onomea church is being gathered
together again and the parsonage there
is to be repaired. A complaint against
their pastor came from a small faction
of the parish at Laupahoehoe, but was
dismissed by the Association as unworthy of notice.
The Waipio church is in arrears to its
pastor. Query:—ls this the result of
his five months' absence from his paiish
last year ?
The leaky parsonage at Waiiriea.has
not yet been repaired nor has a new one
being built by the committee charged to
see to it. 'The Association voted to put
Miss Elizabeth Lyons on the committee,
and it is believed that by her influence
thewoik will now be speedily done.
Pastor Kalaiwaa is authorized to raise
$500 for the final repair of the big KaiPastor Desha is
lua meeting house.
very much wanted at Kona. The Association recommended that he think
twice before deciding to leave his present
field.
Alawa, the General Sabbath School
Superintendent for the Konas, has been
arrogating to'himself undue authority.
His case was brought up before the Association for consideiation, and the pastor of the church where he attends was
commissioned to return and labor with
this mistaken brother, and a committee
was appointed to consider the whole
matter of the appointment and authority
of General Sabbath School Superintend
ents. It seems that they are apt to be
dictatorial, and that there is a chance of
their being mercenary in the performance of what they consider to be their
official duties.
The question is, Would pastors perform the duties of the office more faith-
fully ?
The large and important parish of Kau
was not represented in the Association
either by pastor or delegate.
The repairs on the meeting house of
Puula, Puna, are finished and there is a
deht of $200 to be cleared off.
The people at Kalapana, Puna, some
time since tore down their meeting
house. They have collected about $ 1,-000 for a new one, and are minded to
get about $ 1,200 more. The pastor asked the Association to giant him the privilege of going among the churches and
raising that sum, but permission was
not granted, and he was advised to content himself with a smaller structure, say
one costing about $1,500.
Friday noon Mr. and Mrs. Terry very
kindly lunched the members of the Association in the dining-room of the
Boarding School. About sixty were
present, and the lumii was most creditably prepared by the boys. After the
repast Mr. Terry conducted his guests
over the grounds, showed them five
acres of fine kalo under cultivation and
a field of four hundred thrifty banana
plants, and also a field of young coffee
trees. Mr. Eugene Lyman is to assist
Mr. Terry in the charge of the field
work.
The work of the past year shows a
marked change for the better in this in-
stitution, and the prospects for advance
during the coming year are most favorable.
The next meeting of the Association
is tn be held at Puako, Kohala.
The last Australian Mail brought us
cheering letters from Butaritari, the
northernmost of the Gilbert Islands.
They were postmarked Sydney, August
12th, and were taken thither by Capt.
C. B. Holland. The one translated below is almost gleeful over the good news
it gives. Much of the wit and sparkle
of Rev. Kanoa's style is lost in the
translation.
Butaritari, July 0, 1891.
To the HawaiianBoard and its Members:
I send my fresh-springing love to
hearts that have warmed with affection
for the Lord Je»us Christ, for us and for
this poor pagan people. And you will
not be unmindful of the appeal of this
love that so touches the conscience.
Let us greatly rejoice and be glad, for
the Word of God shall not return unto
him void until all that were blind shall
know him.
As for the past, you will bear in mind
that while I was in Ualana (Kusaie) and
saw the work of the Lord greatly prospering there I wrote, "the work moves
on," and the good news was published
widely among you. lam sure you have
not forgotten those days.
Again: When I was at Apaiang with
brothers Bingham and Noa, and we
were given to teaching and to preaching the Word and to the making of urgent appeals, again I wrote, "the work
goes on." And how true the Bible saying is, that "One soweth and another
reapeth." Once more I took up the
work here at _Butaritari with my brother
Moku, and together we toiled, teaching
and preaching and urging the people to
the truth. Theearly process ofincubation
and of brooding is mostly passed and
there remains only the time of broad
flight.
It may be said that in these two fields
of the Lord (Butaritari and Makin) there
has been a great revival. The coming
of the people to the truth has been like
the flow of a strong stream. Every
book has been sold, and there is an urgdemand for more.
Let the new invoice be hastened on.
We are eagerly waiting for the coming
of the Star with more books. Let the
books but get here, and they shall fly
broadcast (lele liilii).
The king of these islands has been
touring among the people with a purpose
to turn them to the truth; and lo there
has been a mighty awakening. All have
ent
turned.
During the last five months the meeting houses have been packed, and not
one left out. We are greatly rejoiced
at the work God has wrought, and that
he did so move the king of this people
to seek their good. And I have a feel(Coitcluded on Cover.)

cises respectfully reports as follows,
for the three weeks since the last report
was submitted.
The Sunday Evening Meetings have
been well attended, notwithstanding it
has been a vacation season. The at
tendance was as follows: Aug. .'SO, 112;
Sept. 6, 86; and Sept. 13, 96, Total
291, the average being 'J*. For the
same period of last year, we have the
last Sunday in Aug. 55, first Sunday in
Sept. 15, and the second Sunday of Sept.
43, making a total of 143, or an average
of a little over 47. Thus we have an
attendance more than double over the
same period of last year. This certainly
is very encouraging, but we call alten
tion to the fact that while the attendance
has so largely increased yet there is not
the general participation in llie exercises
of the meetings which there should be,
and it is earnestly desired that more will
study the Topics of the Meetings and
take a more active part in them.
Since our last monthly meeting Mr,
Ben Hogan has been among us and hat
held in all 12 meetings in our Hall, be
sides giving his Stereopticon Exhibitions
which were instructive and interesting.
The attendance at the 12 meetings
ranged from 07 to 203 with a total of
1,363,and an average of a little over 113
for each meeting. Mr. Hogan impress
es one as being deeply in earnest, and
we trust his work among us will be
abundantly blessed and helpful to many
of our residents.
The Sunday morning services at the
of
Jail have been continued, a numberMr.
visitors assisting in the singing.
Hogan and Dr. Hammond kindly conducted the exercises on separate OCCa
sions. We are indebted to Miss Ren
wick for her assistance with Portable
Organ and in playing the same.
Some Bibles distributed among the
inmates at this time we think would do
good, as we have been asked for one by
one of the men.
We purpose calling a meeting of your
Committee in the near future and hope
to devise some plans for additional aggressive work.

For the Chairman.
Mr. Hogan's Meetings.
For 12 nights Mr. Hogan held meetings in the Y. M. C. A. These meetings were attended for the most part by
men, and a great many of these were
strangers not only to the V.M.C.A. meetings, but to any religious meetings,
whatsoever. The story of Mr. Hogan's
former life proved very attaactive to
them, while his plain, unvanished common sense way of putting Gospel truths
was listened to with respect. Many a
man was awakened to a sense of the terrible life he was leading; quits a few
publicly showing a desire to leave the
old way, Mr. Hogan's meetings have
done a great good in aiding to break
down the hairier that has so long existed here between church-going and nonchurch-going people.
Friday Night Prayer Meetings.
The Friday night prayer meetings in
the Y. M. C. A. have been resumed.
These meetings were discontinued during Mr. Hogan's meetings in the Hall.
These meetings are the best meetings
of the Association. There is greater
freedom and a nearer approach to spiritual brotherhood in them than in our
more public meetings. All our members
should try to be present, not only in
order to receive but also to give aid in
the work.
The Y. M. C. A. had the pleasure of
greeting Mr. A. P. Stockwell who is on
his way to Melbourne, Australia, to take
charge of the Physical Department of
the V.M.C.A. of that city. He brought
words of cheer and comfort from Mr.
McCoy of San Francisco Y. M. C. A.
