The manager <</ The Friend rriptclfully rei/nesfs the friendly cooperation of subscribers and others to whim this publication
is a regular monthly visitor, to aid in extending the list of pations of this, " the
oldest paper in the Pacific," by procuring
and sending in at least one new name each.
This is a •una 11 thing to do, y,t in the aggregate it will strengthen our hands and enable us to do more in re/urn than has been
promised for the moderate subscription rate
of $3 OO per annum.
Islanders residing or traveling abroad
often refer to the welcome feeling with
which Thk Friend is rcceivd: hence
parties having friends, relatives, or acquaintances abroad, can find nothing more
welcome to send than The FrIEND, as
a monthly remembrancer of their aloha,
and furnish them at the same time with
the only record of moral and religious
progress in the North Pacific Ocean.
In this one claim only this joutnal is entitled to the largest support possible by Unfriends of Seamen, Missionary and Philanthropic work in the Pacific, for it occupies
a central position in a field that is attracting the attention of the 'world more and
more every year.
The Monthly Record of Events, mid
Marine Journal, etc., gives Thk Friend
additional value to home and foreign
readers for handy reference.
New subscriptions, change of address, or
no/ice of discontinuance of subscriptions or
advertisements must be sent to the MANAGES
of Tin. Friend, who will give the same
prompt attention. A simple return of the
paper without instruction, conveys no int lligible notice whatever of the sender's intent.
A limited per/ion of this paper will be
devoted to advr rtisements or Business Cards,

A NEW YEAR'S GREETING.
Willi the must heart)- good will we
wish to all our nailers and patrons a
Happ>' New Year! May this year ol
1892 be filled with blessings and mercies
to each one, and maj we all have cheerful and contented hearts, to rejoice in
all that is bright in our lot. and not to
repine at what may be otherwise.
One of those things which ma)- be
taken cheerfully or otherwise, is a diminished pecuniary ability to meet the
claims upon is of God's work in these
Islands, wl.;!. those claims are increasing rather than diminishing, The regular work of our Hawaiian Hoard now
calls for an outla) of nearly two thousand dollars a month. To meet these
and other needs will require on the part
of our Christian people somewhat heroic
efforts, and perhaps serious self denial
and sacrifi c. We feel confident that
they will n j tice to make such sacrifices.
They will gladly embrace the opportu-
JANUARY,
nity for participating in the Christian heroism that has adorned the lives of
Christ's saints through the ages, and
has heen not least resplendent in these
days of glorious growth of the Kingdom.
The circular issued by the Treasurer
and Secretary of the Board, reprinted in
this issue, tells the story of their needs.
We are confident that the many and
earnest prayers of our Christian people
will he answered by adequate succor to
this great work in its many branches
Our political affairs while free from
serious turbulence, or sense of insecurity, are in a somewhat undefined condition, without definite issues clearly made
by responsible parties. This state of
things is doubtless one of the conditions
incident to a period which has begun,
somewhat transitional in our national
life. Christian people, who believe that
political order and security must depend
upon a general love by the people of
righteousness and honesty, will the more
earnestly address themselves to make
the power of their Lord's holy life and
teaching felt by the whole community,
so that our government may be administered in the fear of God. Meantime
all will earnestly pray that our good
Queen may be abundantly endowed with
wisdom and grace for the difficult duties
of her responsible position.
Illness of Gen. S. C. Armstrong.
NUMHF.K 1.
1892.

Volume
His case seemed likely at first to be
speedily fatal. Subsequent symptoms
indicated the cause not to be a clot on
the brain, as at first supposed; and there
seems to be a good prospect that with
the General's vigorous constitution, he
may so far recover as to be able to attend somewhat to the affairs of the
school, although he will undoubtedly be
debarred from public efforts. As the
school has hitherto depended upon his
personal labors to raise the large sums
required for its annual outlay, great solicitude is felt in the matter. In the
meantime his Hampton choir are going
on with their work, and money has been
sent unsolicited, to the sufferer at the
Parker House. It is gratifying to know
that his mind is clear, although speech
is much obstructed by the paralysis.
A series of graphic and serviceable
letters about the Hawaiian Islands from
Gen. Armstrong's pen have appeared in
the Southern Workman since his return
from here. His so recent visit to his
native land and our delightful intercourse with him renders more poignant
the sorrow with which Hawaiians mourn
this check to his activity.
Hawaiian Politics.—Notwithstanding the fact that it is only five weeks before the biennial election of legislators,
no very definite public action seems to
have been taken by any party except the
•'National Liberals" led by K. W. Wilcox and J. E. Bush. These gentlemen
who three years ago were seeking to
restore arbitrary power to the King, now
avow a desire to overthrow the Monarchy and establish an independent republic. It is not believed that any considerable proportion of either natives or
foreigners are with them. The motive
commonly attributed to their course is
mainly a despair of gaining office by
any other means. The notorious C. C.
Moreno, now in Washington, has been
parading in the eastern papers, the terrible designs of these revolutionists of
Hawaii, who are held in check only by
the "oppressive, rapacious, etc., missionaries." To these repressive agencies
might be added the great majority of
the native and foreign inhabitants, who
do not appear to desire any change of
government. We make these observations in hope of relieving the anxieties
of our readers abroad, who may very
naturally feel disturbed by those reports
According to present appearances, this
noble philanthropist and educator of the
American Negroes has come to the end
of his active career, greatly to the sorrow
and dismay of the friends of the Hampton work. With a corps of Hampton
singers, he was holding a series of
vigorous and successful meetings in
Massachusetts, raising funds for the
school. On Thanksgiving Day, in the
midst of a meeting near Boston, he was
struck down with paralysis of the left
side. He was carried to the Parker
House, where he doubtless still lies, as
there was no prospect of a very speedy
removal to his home. His {amity were
soon with him. He had felt symptoms
of the trouble for three days, but had

Capt. Nares; A Character Sketch.
We fjiye the following vivid description from the pen of Robert Louis Stevenson in his story, "The Wrecker," in
Scribtttr'i Monthly. It powerfully delineates that peculiar combination of energy, intelligence, brutality, and yet on
the whole, good intention, which is
found in so many American shipmasters
and officers, men who on shore are often
excellent citizens and family men, yet
at sea maintain what is little else than
a state of cruel war with their men,
themselves deeply brutalized. We have
reprinted this description in the hope of
siding to a better understanding of those
evil conditions which so terribly pervert
the happy relations which ideally should
subsist between employers and employed at sea as well as on land. Christ
would have us to make peace; but to do
so, we must clearly apprehend the nature and causes of the war, and the mental states of the contending parties. We
regard the following description as a
most valuable contribution to that end.
I had no lack of intellectual exercise

inconsistent friend, the captain. I call
him friend, here on the threshold; but
that is to look well ahead. At first, I
was too much horrified by what I considered his barbarites, too much puzzled
by his shifting humors, and too frequently
annoyed by his small vanities, to regard
him otherwise than as the cross of mv
existence. It was only by degrees, in
his rare hours of pleasantness, when In
forgot (and made me forget) the weaknesses to which he was so prone, that
he won me to a kind of unconsenting
fondness. Lastly, the faults were all
embraced in a more generous view :
I saw them in their place, like discords
in a musical progression; and accepted
them and found them picturesque, as
we accept and admire, in the habitable
face of nature, the smoky head of the
volcano, or the pernicious thicket of the
swamp.

it is likely the defect was inherited, and
the blame of the rupture not entirely his.
He ran away at least to sea; suffered
horrible maltreatment, which seemed to
have rather hardened than enlightened
him; ran away again to shore in a

FUNERAL OF MINISTER CARTER.
This honored and beloved Mother,
and the wife of John Thomas Water,
house, Sr., passed from earth, at 9:45
p. m., December 2d. She had for a
The body of the late Minister and
Envoy H. A. P. Carter arrived at Honolulu from New York, accompanied by
his family, on the Australia December 1.
The obsequies were held at the residence of the deceased on the afternoon
of Sunday, December 6, and were attended by a great throng of our citizens,
as well as by Her Majesty the Queen,
with public officials, and foreign representatives, etc. The services were conducted by the pastor of the deceased.
Rev. E. G. Beckwith, who spoke feelingly of his Christian spirit as well as
of his exalted public services.
The pallbearers were Gov. Cleghorn,
His Ex. C. N. Spencer, Hon. J. T.
Waterhouse Jr., L. A. Thurston, J. H.
Paty, S. C. Allen, J. M. Whitney, and
E. A. Schaefer. The burial place was

week been suffering much from spasms
of impeded breath, and her death was
expected at any moment. She was
sleeping very quietly when the final
spasm closed the struggle.
Her birth was at Birmingham, England, Eebruary 14, 1813. Married July
6, 1838, to Mr. Waterhouse; after several
years of residence in Australia, they removed in 1851 to Honolulu, which has
since then been their family home, although of late years, the aged couple
have resided much at Cedar Rapids;
lowa, and have spent much time in
England, crossing the Atlantic almost
yearly.
Mrs. Waterhouse was in many respects, a woman of rare excellences of
character. While of a sweet, cheerful,
and controlled spirit, she was strong in
will, and clear in judgment. She was a
strong helper and wise counsellor to her
husband, in both the acquisition and the
management of his large property, as
well as to an unusual degree the stay
and solace of his domestic life. None
but her own children can tell what was
her unsurpassed excellence as a wise,
tender, Christian mother. Her own life
was one of faith, and she had the joy of
seeing all her children walking in the
ways of Christ.
Her surviving children are Messrs.
John and Henry Waterhouse of this
city, Mr. William Waterhouse of Cedar
Rapids, and Mrs. W. H. Rice of Lihue,
Kauai. There are also two grandsons,
Messrs. William and Henry Dimond,
by a daughter deceased in early life.
It is with grief that we consider that
we shall no more meet so familiarly and
delightfully the cheering and comforting
face of this honored Mother. Our tenderest sympathies go out to the aged
and bereaved husband, whom may the
dear Lord comfort and guide.

The Kawaiahao Sabbath School children were feasted with a luau on Christmas Day.
Her Majesty the Cjueen lent
her presence, to the delight of the young
folks. The Cjueen attended Pontifical
mass in the morning at the R. C. Cathedral.
The annual Christmas 'free ccltbia
tion was held Tuesday evening the 22nd,
in the audience room ol the church.
The great school was rather reinforced
in numbers for the occasion than depleted. A very funny ami snowy-bearded Santa Claus dispensed the copious
fruitage of the large and brilliant tree,
after which the children adjourned tti
the parlors below, to till up with cake
and ice cream, which were plentifully
supplied.
On Sunday the '.'7th, a Children's

was a Praise Service in the evening
with a short discourse by the Rev. Mr.

HAWAIIAN ANNUAL FOR 1892.
Thrum's Hawaiian Annual for /.S'o.'
comes to us greatly enlarged. It seems
to contain everything that one can want
of statistical information respecting these
Islands. Pour pages give results of
the Census of population. Seventy-five
pages aie occupied with miscellaneous
matter of great interest. There are two
photogravure plates of Hawaiian Land
Shells, accompanying an article by Prof.
A. B. Lyons. Tourists receive full information to guide their quest.
Everyone who has kept the series of
these Annuals has a library of encyclopedic value about these Islands. All
who desire to be intelligently informed
thereon should get this number, and also
previous numbers if not already owning
them.
Judge L. McCully, delegate of the
Hawaiian Churches to the International

The Chilian Trouble.—It is with
great pain and solicitude that we notice
the apparently unconciliatory attitude
of Chili toward the United States in the
Baltimore matter. The latter government has no glory to gain by a war with
Chili, nor can Chili reasonably expect
anything but disaster from such a conflict. No friend of either country can
tail to deprecate a war which must beso injurious to the progress of the
weaker state. We feel assured that the
stronger and limit enlightened Power
will exhaust the resources of diplomacy
before employing force to gain redress.
This kingdom, as well as the Pacific
states, cannot fail to nolo one necessary
result of this contention. It will strongly fix the attention of the whole American people upon their naval necessities
in the Pacific, towards which a majority
of them have been extremely indifferent.
A continuance of this quarrel with Chili
must create a strong sense, now lacking, of the immediate need of the Nicaragua Canal, which if now open would
arm the United States with triple power
against her adversary, such as would
probably secure the most considerate
behsvior on the part of Chili. Coming
nearer home, this affair is likely to intensify the American sense of need of
their proposed Naval Station at Pearl
Harbor. Both of those measures seem
likely now to receive fresh impetus.

That.the Hawaiians are a race of unusual stature, has Kmo been matter of
common observation. Superiority Of
muscular power has not been so commonly attributed to them. Much doubt
has been expressed whether they would
prove capable of the protracted endur

other for three hours continuously without result, the British team gaining the

devoted
to a
statement of the financial condition of
the Hawaiian Board. We believe our
pastors are interested in the facts and
are willing to face them even when they
argue a need of funds, and suggest the
propriety of contribution. Il is a great
benefit all around that tbe Board is
carrying on so extensive a work. Its
organization is not vet complete, nor
are its newer missions adequately developed, and some day We hope to see it
establish a mission to the unchurched
white man of these Islands. But to
keep it at what it is now doing is the
obligation of every one. Many have
received our circular. We ask oil who
read this page to take it as a personal
matter, and send us what the)- can.
The first to respond to our circular
was the beloved pastor of the Central
Union Church. The coffers were about
empty when his hundred dollars came
in. Next came a niter from latin i
Waterhouse promising the Board one
hundred and lift) dollars a month for
twenty-four months. Such a promise
is a stout staff to lean on. and will help
can')- the work forward a Ion:; way.
Such a way of giving is very acceptable,
and will save the Secretary and Treasurer a good bit of won)-.
Another has promised to give twenty
dollars on the last day of the voir.
We hear of still a foiutii who was inquiring after tin- Secretary with a purpose to make a donation.
A letter has come from vet another, a
firm, strong friend of the Board and of
every other good cause, saving that he
will certainly give in his contribution
soon. Who will be the next to help us ?
Good friends, if you will all do something, each according to his ability.
the required balance will be forthcoming and the work will go on without a
jog. We want you to have a propertyright in what is being done even to the
smallest sum. When you have given
us your hard earned money, we knowthat we shall also have your kindly interest and continued remembrance at the
throne of grace.
Two live dollar subscriptions just received, are hereby gladly acknowledged.
Rooms
of
the Hawaiian Board,
Honolulu, Dec. 15, 1891.
Dear Sir: The Board of the Hawaii
Evangelical Association, through its
Secretary and Treasurer invites your
kind consideration of the following facts
touching the work it has in charge:
an
There are now six separate missions
which are being cared for by our Board.
They are in fair state of organization
with Church buildings and school
houses, and pastors, teachers and evangelists.
fhe heavy outlays called for at the
starting of the new missions have mostly been met. A few hundred dollars
are yet due on the l'ortuguese chapel
just erected at Hilo. With this exception, it but remains that we keep the
work on its present basis with a view to
natural enlargements.
The monies we accordingly ask are
not for building purposes.
By your
generous aid this part of the work has
been already well advanced. Our aim
is now to perfect existing organizations
and keep the field manned with wellsupported and vigorous workers. In
what we are doing ioi native Hawaiians,
tin- educational department requires
most outlay. The North Pacific Mission. try Institute and the Kohala Girls'
School, which are directly under the
charge of the Board, have been brought,
at a considerable expense, to a fine
state of efficiency.
It remains that we
continue to these institutions, so invaluable to the cause, our most generous support.
We lack the means to extend, as we
feet we ought, the list of our Hawaiian
publications. The late Mr. H. R. Hitchcock's valuable translation of the "Story
of the Bible " is still in manuscript,
awaiting the means of publication.
Though our missionary pastor, the Rev.
S. Waiwaiole, is doing a good work
among our afflicted brethren of the
Leper Settlement, we have not yet
established our long talked of school
there. Lor such a work funds would be
needed.
There is also a special call for schoolwork to be done among the Portuguese
and the Chinese. Our school accommodations for these people are already
over-crowded, and yet new pupils are
pressing for entrance. Whatever else is
done, this demand for the education of
the youths of thase two prolific races
which take so naturally to our Hawaiian
soil must be met, for so we shall best be
preparing them for intelligent, Christian
citizenship.
Our responsibility for the evangelization of the Japanese has been greatly
enlarged. Formerly, the laborers of but
one island, now those of the entire
group, are under our care. In view of
the present and prospective increase of
these people among us, this community
cannot afford to let them remain unevangelized.
In assuming to establish a general
city mission with two resident evangelists, and with Queen Emma Hall as a
center, we
have virtually added a
seventh mission to our care, a rescue
mission, this time for wanderers among
our white brethren as well as for other
unchurched people. In its support we
'

are ably seconded by the brethren of the
Y. M. C. A., and by the sisters of the
W. C. T. U. This mission is daily proving its usefulness, and we aie confident
that our patrons will continue to grant
it their liberal support.
Most hopeful reports of a great
awakening in our Gilbert Isl.mils' missions have come to gladden us, and
revive interest in the foreign work. The
feeling is, that this mission, which is
now manned in part by aged Hawaiians,
should be reinforced with new recruits.
A most urgent request for aid has
come from the Hawaiian brethren laboring in the Marquesas, With much toil,
and with almost no help, they have
built up two boarding schools the only
two Protestant schools n( the kind on
those islands.
In response, the Board
has ventured, and we believe with the
approval of its constituents, to vote a
slight addition to the usual giant.
It is with these man) 1 appealing voices
in our ears that we lay the facts before
you, glad to tell of what has been clone,
and confident, that with your liberal aid,
we shall be permitted to achieve yet
larger things.

at the praise services here in this hall,
adjourned very largely to the later ser
vices at Cjueen Emma Hall. One night
Cjueen Emma Hall was so crowded that
all could not be accommodated. In
view of this fact an experiment has been
entered upon of hiring for one month
the galvanized iron building on Bethel
street, that has been used as saloon,
shooting gallery, and for political caucuses generally. It will accommodate
about 160 persons, it is thought, and
has the decided advantage of being in a
much more central position than Cjueen
Emma Hall, and the street preachers
and workers, can tbe better bung in the
different ones, whom they may be able
to persuade to attend.
Referring once- again to the Sunday

he had prospered, not uneventfully, in
his profession; the old lady's money had
fallen in during the voyage of the
Gleaner, and he was now. as soon as
the smoke of that engagement cleared
away, secure of his ship. 1 suppose he
was about thirty; a powerful, active
man, with a blue eye. a thick head of
hair, about the color of oakum and
growing low over the brow: clean-shaved
and lean about the jaw; a good singer;
a good performer on that sea instrument,
the accordion; a quick observer, a close
reasoner; when he pleased, of a really
elegant address: and when he chose,
the greatest brute upon the seas.
His usage of the men, his hazing,
his bullying, his perpetual fault-finding
for no cause, his perpetual and brutal
sarcasm, might have raised a mutiny in
a slave-galley. Suppose the steersman's
eve to have wandered: "You

would bawl; "you want a booting to

tle city-front slush when I see one. Just
YOU glue your eve to that compass, or
I'll show you round the vessel at the
but-end of my boot." Or suppose a
hand to linger aft. where he had perhaps
been summoned not a minute before.
"Mr Daniells, will you oblige me Instepping clear of that main-sheet ?" the
captain might begin, with truculent
courtesy, "Thank you. And perhaps
you'll be so kind as to tell me what the
you aredoing on my quarter-deck?
I want no dirt ofyour sort here. Is there
nothing for you to do ? Where's the
mate? Don't you set me to find work
for you, or I'll find some that will keep
you on your back a fortnight." Such
allocutions, conceived with a perfect
knowledge of his audience, so that every
insult carried home, were delivered with
a mien so menacing, and an eye so
fiercely cruel, that his unhappy subordinates shrank and quailed. Too often
violence followed; too often have I heard
and seen, and boiled at the cowardly
aggression; and the victim, his hands
bound by law, has risen again from
deck, and crawled forward stupefied—l
know not what passion of revenge in his
wronged heart.
It seems strange I should have grown
to like this tyrant. It may even seem
strange that I should have stood by and
suffered his excesse*- to proceed. But I

of us butchered in a mutiny and the rest
suffer on the gallows. And in private,
I was unceasing in my protests.
"Captain," 1 once said to him, appealing to his patriotism, which was of a
hardy quality, "this is no way to treat
American seamen. You don't call it
American to treat men like dogs?"
"Americans?'' he said grimly. "Do
you call these Dutchmen and Scattermouches," Americans ? I've been fourteen years to sea, all but one trip under
American colors, and I've never laid eye

used to be such things in the old days,
when thirty-five dollars were the wages
out of Boston; and then you could see
ships handled and run the way they want
to be. But that's all past and gone;
nowadays the only thing that dies in an
American ship is a belaying pin. You
don't know; you haven't a guess. How
would you like to go on deck for your
middle watch, fourteen months on end,
with all your duty to do and every one's
life depending on you, and expect to get
a knife ripped into you as you come out
of your state-room, or be sand-bagged
as you pass the boat, or get tripped into
the hold, if the hatches are off in fine
weather ? That kind of shakes the starch
out of the brotherly love and New Jerusalem business. You go through the
mill, and you'll have a bigger grudge
against every old shell-back that dirties
his plate in the tluee oceans, than the
Bank of California could settle up. No;
it has an ugly look to it, hut the only
way to run a ship is to make yourself a
tenor."
"Come, Captain," said I, "there are
degrees in eveiy thing. You know
American ships have a bad name; you
know perfectly well if it wasn't for the
high wage and good food, there's not a
man would ship in one if he could help;
and even as it is, some prefer a British
ship, beastly food and all."
"Oh, the time-juicers?" said he.
"There's plenty booting in lime-juicers.
I guess, though I don't deny but what
some of them are soft. * * It was in
1874 I shipped mate in the British ship,
Maria, from Frisco for Melbourne.
She was the queerest craft in some
ways that I ever was aboard of. The
food was a caution; there was nothing
fit to put your lips to—but the limejuice, which was from the end-bin, no
doubt: it used to make me sick to see
the men's dinners, and sorry to see my
own. The old man was good enough,
I guess; Green was his name; a mild,
fatherly old galoot. But the hands were
the lowest gang I ever handled; and
whenever I tried to knock a little spirit
into them, the old man took their part !
It was Gilbert and Sullivan on the high
seas; but you bet I wouldn't let any
man dictate to me.
'You give me your
orders, Capt. Green,' I said, 'and you'll
.
find I'll carry them out; that's all you've
got to say. You'll find Ido my duty,'
I said; 'how I do it is my lookout; and
there's no man born that's going to give
me lessons.' Well, there was plenty
dirt on board that Maria first and last.
Of course the old man put my back up,
and of course, he put up the crew's; and
I had to regular fight my way through
every watch. The men got to hate me,
so's I would hear them grit their teeth
when I came up. At last, one day, I
saw a big hulking beast of a Dutchman
booting the ship's boy. I made one
shoot of it off the house and laid that
Dutchman out. Up he came, and I laid
him out again. 'Now, I said, 'if there's
a kick left in you, just mention it, and
I'll stamp your ribs in like a packingcase.' He thought better of it, and
he never let on; lay there as mild as a
deacon at a funeral; and they took him
below to reflect on his native Dutchland.
■* But you wait a bit, the cream's
*
coming. We made Melbourne right
enough, and the old man said, 'Mr.
Nares, you and me don't draw together.
You're a fust rate seaman, no mistake
of that: but you're the most disagreeable
man I ever sailed with; and your languageand your conduct to the crew I cannot stomach. I guess we'll separate.'
I didn't care about the berth, you may
be sure: but 1 felt kind of mean; and if
he made one kind of stink, I thought I
could make another. So I said I would
go ashore, and see how things stood;
went, found I was all light, and came
aboard again on the top rail. 'Are you
getting your traps together, Mr. Nares,'
says the old man.— 'No.' says I; 'I don't
know as we'll separate much before
'Frisco; at least,' I said, 'it's a point for
your consideration. I'm very willing to
say good-bv to the Maria, but I don't
know whether you'll care to start me
out with three months' wages. He got
his money-box right away. 'My son,'
said he, T think it cheap at the money.'
He had me there.''
It was a singular tale for the man to
tell of himself; above all, in the midst of
our discussion; but it was quite in
character with Nares. I never made
any good hit in our disputes, I never
justly resented any act or speech of his,
but what I found it long after carefully
posted in his day-book, and reckoned
(here was the man's oddity) to my
credit. It was the same with his father,
whom he had hated; he would give a
sketch of the old fellow, frank and credible, and yet so honestly touched that it
was charming. I have never met a
man so strangely constituted: to possess
a reason of the most equal justice, to
have his nerves quivering at the same
time with petty spite, and to act upon
the nerves and not the reason.

The Political Outlook.
I'iie Biennial election is close at hand.
With little taste for the discussion, we
pen a paragraph or two for the information of our readers abroad. There has
been the usual activity in electioneering,
possibly more than the average amount
of acrimony.
Much that has been
spoken may charitably be construed as
Bunkum. No earnest enthusiasm has
been conspicuous upon either side.
The extreme views avowed by the
"Liberal" party, led by Bush, Wilcox
and Ashford. have caused a substantial
union for a time, of the various sections
of more conservative views, in support
of the "National Reform" ticket. Bush
and Wilcox sought to restore by force,
in 1889, the much abused Royal prerogatives exercised under the constitution of
1864. They have now, in anger at the
conservative course of the Queen, inverted their standard, and are clamoring for a Convention to create an entirely new constitution, intended to dethrone
the Cjueen and establish a republic.
This intention was explicitly avowed in
letters of Wilcox to Moreno, prematurely published by the latter in New York.
The alarm created thereby among Ha
waiians who are generally loyal to the
(jueen, has led him to attempt a partial
disavowal of those letters; but the intention is not doubted.
Their second avowed object is to
prevent the ratification of the new treaty
negotiated with the United States as
being damaging to Hawaiian independence, especially in the cession of a
naval station at Pearl Harbor. Mr. C.
W. Ashford who defeated a similar
treaty two years ago, is applying himself
to this end in the interest of his Canadian
employers against the United States,
with an activity and zeal which deserve
their highest appreciation.
Nearly all foreigners, and a majority
of the more intelligent natives, are
strongly opposed to both of these enThe
deavors of the Liberal party.
Convention project is viewed as revolutionary, and subversive of public security
and credit. No tampering of any sort
with the Constitution is much favored
in the present depressed financial outlook.
As to the treaty, both capitalists and
working men see in its full Free Trade
provisions the only relief in sight for
the present depression caused by the
ruinously low price of sugar under the
McKinley tariff. All intelligent citizens
believe it to be of vital importance to
perfect that treaty.
These considerations have rallied so
united an opposition to the common
enemy, that we may hopefully look for
the election of a fairly conservative
majority in the coming Legislature.
The New Church Edifice is assuming imposing form. The steel shingling
of the extensive annexes is nearly finished,
and very becoming. Several large arched windows are conspicuous. This edifice is only befitting to the great pecuniary prosperity of the country in which
members of this church have largely
shared during the past years. It needs,
however, to be borne in mind that Christian ardor and fruitfulness are very apt to
develop in inverse ratio to the costliness
of the house of worship. Holiness and
consecration have in all ages been more
apt to grow in conventicles than in
Cathedrals, in cottages than in palaces.
This need not be so. This favored
church may confidently be expected to
become more and more abounding in all
good works. Else its new and comely
housing would be put to shame.
Rev. R. R. Hoes, Chaplain of U. S.
S. Pensacola, preached January 10th,
at 11a. m. in Central Union Church,
with great acceptance.
Mr. Hoes has
in many ways, made himself favorably
known in Honolulu.

THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS AND SPANISH
AMERICA IN EARLY TIMES.
[Kead before the Hawaiian Historical BuCsety Jan. M, 1801 ]
The whole Pacific Ocean belonged to
Spain by a double title; viz., by the right
of discovery, and by the Bull of Pope
Alexander VI. Certainly the Spaniards
had a long start of other nations in its
exploration. In 1513, only 21 years
after the discovery of the New World by
Columbus, Vasco Nunez dc Balboa beheld the Pacific Ocean from a peak in
Darien, and afterwards wading into the
sea, took possession ot it "and all its
appurtenances," in the name of His
Catholic Majesty, the King of Spain.
Seven years later, Ferdinand dc Magalhaen (or Magellan), a Portuguese navigator in the service of the King of Spain,
sailed through the straits named after
him, and crossed the Pacific Ocean, discovering the" Ladrone and Philippine
Islands, which became Spanish possessions. This new route to the Indies was
claimed by Spain as her exclusive
property.
In addition to this, Pope Alexander
VI in 1493 granted to Spain the property
and dominion of all places either already
discovered, or that should be discovered,
west of a meridian line drawn from the
North to the South Pole, a hundred
leagues to the westward of the Azores
and Cape Verde Islands. Pope Martin
V had already, in 1432, granted to Portugal the same exclusive privilege in respect to all countries beyond Cape Bojador to the eastward.
The line of demarcation was moved
270 leagues further west in 1494, by mutual agreement, in order to give Portugal
a title to Brazil. This famous Bull of
Demarcation did not, however, prevent
the explorers of the two nations from
coming into collision on the other side
of the globe, where they contended for
the possession of the Moluccas or Spice
Islands.
In the latter part of the next century
Spanish expeditions from Peru discovered the Solomon Islands in 1567 and
the Marquesas in 1595. But what is
of more interest to us, is the fact that
Hernando Cortez, immediately after his
conquest of Mexico, fitted out an expedition on the western coast to reinforce
his countrymen at the Moluccas. The
little squadron, consisting of three small
vessels, carrying 110 men, and commanded by Don Alvarado dc Saavedra,
sailed from Zacatula, Mexico, Oct. 31,
1527. The narrative of the voyage is
preserved in Herrera's work and also in
�10
Burney's "Discoveries in the South
Seas," both of which are in this Library.
When the squadron was about a thousand
leagues from port, it was scattered by a
tempest. The two smaller vessels were
never heard from again, but Saavedra
pursued the voyage alone in theFlorida
to the Moluccas, touching at the Ladrone Islands on the way.
Nbw a well known Hawaiian tradition relates that in the reign of Keliiokaloa, son of Umi, a foreign vessel was
wrecked at Keei, South Kona, Hawaii.
According to the tradition, only the
captain and his sister reached the shore
in safety. From their kneeling on the
beach, and remaining a long time in
that posture, the place was called Kulou,
as it is Unto this day. The natives received them kindly, and placed food before* them. These strangers intermarried with the Hawaiians, and were the
progenitors of certain well known fami
lie's of chiefs, as for instance, that of
Kaikioewa, former governor of Kauai.
IT we reckon by generations, allowing
thirty years on an average to each generation, we find that Keliiokaloa was
probably born about A. D. 1600. and
was' reigning at this very time. This
coincidence was first pointed out by Mr.
H*. R Peirce, in a paper read before the
California Acadamy of Sciences in 1880,
and was' afterwards fully worked out by
Horl. A. Fornander. As the latter has

of trie storm, was probably within 200
miles to the south-west of the Hawaiian
Islands. The time was probably near
the' erid of November, and the storm a

Of Spanish settlers there werecompartively few. Don Francisco Patale y
Marin, alias "Manini," born at Jer*a in

behind him a large family. Don Marin

acted as interpreter for him while- be
(Kamehameha) resided on Oahu, and attended him during his last illness. A
curious old document exists in ,the
archives, appointing Don Marin captain

published in the Frietfd and

The main points are as follows. -During the Chilian war of independence, the
crew of the "Santa Rosa," a sloop of
war from Buenos Ayres, mutinied and
ran away with the vessel, After pillaging a town on the South American coast,
they arrived at Kealakekua Bay with
their plunder, where they sold the vessel
to Kamehameha, and abandoned themselves to drunkenness and debauchery on
shore. Their orgies were suddenly interrupted by the arrival of the frigate,
"Argentina," Capt. Bouchard, which
had been sent in pursuit of them, and
promptly seized the "Santa Rosa."
Capt. Bouchard having explained to
the King that these men were pirates a°d
robbers of churches, he had them caught
and delivered up to justice. Mostofthe
church plate and ornaments were- also
restored. The ringleader was captured
and shot on the beach at Waimea, Kauai.
Capt. Bouchard afterwards sacked and
burned the town of Monterey, and spread
terror along the Californian coaat.
Another pirate, the Qrocann* from

Peru, visited the Islands under a false
name in 1822, and was afterwards captured in the Austral Islands.
The trade between the Hawaiian Islands and Spanish America steadily increased. Horses and cattle were frequently imported from California and
sold at good prices.
For example, in September 1828, a
French ship, he Heros, from San Diego,
brought down 17 horses, which sold for
from $85 to $110 apiece. Flour was
imported from Chili, and superseded the
mouldy article brought around the Horn.
As cattle multiplied and became an
"important
part of the wealth of the country, Californian and Mexican "vaqueros"
or cowboys were imported to manage
the "ranches;" hence the native term
4
'paniolo," a corruption of "Espagnol."
They introduced the Spanish method of
lassoing, breaking and training horses
and cattle, and perhaps the barbarous
method of milking cows formerly practiced here.
The Spanish saddle, stirrup and spurs,
the sombrero or broad-brimmed hat, and
the Mexican poncho were all familiar to
the old residents.
The use of adobe or sun-dried bricks
for building purposes, which was formerly
common here, was no doubt derived from
Spanish America. The only currency
in circulation consisted of Spanish silver
coins and gold doubloons, and it is only
of late years that thereal has been withdrawn from circulation.
On account ofthe lack of good schools
in California, several boys from some of
the best families were sent here about
1840, to be educated at the old "Oahu
Charity School," under the care of good
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Johnstone. One
of these boys, Romualdo Pacheco, afterwards held the offices of State Senator
and lieutenant governor of the State of
California, after its annexation to the
United States.
This event and the discovery of gold
in '49 ushered in a new era in the history of these islands, and set in motion
a series of changes which have nearly
obliterated the last vestiges of early
Spanish influence.

Central Union Church Building.
Chaplain Hoes of U. S. S. Pensacola,
has been rendering a most important
service to our Islands, by lending his
valuable special experience to promote
the organization of this Society. A
leading feature of its work is the collection of all printed and manuscript
documents of every sort, calculated to
throw any light on the past in these Islands. Mr. Hoes is lending his experienced service as the Librarian. He has
already collected and arranged a wonderful amount and variety of material, such
as would otherwise be steadily going to
waste, for lack of such a nucleus as is
now provided. A meeting of the Society
was held at the Public Library on the
evening of the 28th ult., when Prof.
Alexander read the excellent paper printed in this issue of The Friend upon
"The Relations between the Hawaiian
Islands and Spanish America in earlytimes. " Over one hundred new members
were votedin. The admission fee is
five dollars. Considerable funds are
required for binding and other expenses.
To illustrate the importance of this
old document business; few persons
perhaps are aware how much important
information Prof. Alexander, while
writing his new History, has unearthed
from certain old boxes of loose papers
found stowed away in the Government
buildings.
On Wednesday evening, the '27th ult.,
there was a special meeting ofthe church
and congregation to hear a report from
the Building committee. Prom this report it appeared that it was necessary to
make an early provision of additional
funds in order to carry on the work of
building. Such additional supply of
means it had been expected to call for
somewhat later; but owing to the hard
times, there had been some difficulty in
the collection of the old subscriptions,
although it was believed that very nearly
all would ultimately be realized.
About $6000 a month are needed, and
about $40,000 more than are yet provided for, which amount is not very much
above the original estimates. Three
courses were said to be open. First, to
suspend progress on the audience portion
of the building, and finish the School
and other rooms for temporary use.
Second, to issue bonds for $40,000., thus
incurring a heavy debt. This the Committee favored. Third, to raise the
funds by subscription, which in the present financial stringency, they deemed
impracticable.
The congregation rose bravely to the
occasion. A strong determination was
expressed to raise the needed money by
subscription, and a committee for that
purpose was appointed. A general unwillingness to saddle the building with
debt was earnestly expressed, although
that would be better, economically, than
to half finish it. The only demur that
arose from anyone, was from the apprehension that such a severe drain upon
the means ofthe church would paralyze
their contributions to their regular Mission and Educational work, than which
result nothing could be more ..ilamitous,
or more discreditable to the ihurch.
The character of this church is too
well established to believe that they will
allow any public claim to take precedence of our outside Christian work, and
of fillingthe already alarmingly depleted
treasury of our our leading agency in
that work, the Hawaiian Board. To
meet this sacred obligation, and at the
same time to carry on our noble building, will call for a degree of effort and
sacrifice, that only a most consecrated
purpose will prove equal to. Such effort

relief can be given. The road to discovery of a cure lies through such scientific treatment. A most serious difficulty in such efforts at Molokai, will lie
in securing obedience on the part of

Spiritual Labors Among Seamen.
It having transpired that Rev. F. N.
Greely during his late passage around
Cape Horn had been deeply interested
in the crew of the ship, and had been
the means of leading some of them to
the Savior, several gentlemen interested
in seamen frequenting this port have
asked him during his visit here to do
such work among them as his strength
permitted. Mr. Greely has been somewhat actively engaged in visiting and
conversing with the seamen in port, and
having his attention thus directed to
their numbers and their spiritual needs,
he has taken occasion to lay before the
Christian public of Honolulu, some of
those needs as he finds them.
He
says:
"The following facts have been impressed upon me during a single month
of even most superficial effort.
"From two hundred to fifteen hundred men at a time in your harbor; hearty
welcome and gratifying responses, in
manner at least, and words of greeting
and a cordial hand-grasp; a disposition
on the part of some to visit the reading
rooms and attend the services to which
they have been personally invited; the
need of a Home designed and built
with special reference to their entertainment and welfare; and a possibility,
yes, a promise of men led to the truth
and to Christ from efforts attempted in
his name."
The American Seamen's Friend Socie
ty terminated their Chaplaincy here
some seven years ago, when the lamented Father Damon retired from labor
by reason of age and infirmity, Some
colporteur work has since that time
been quite regularly maintained by our
Christian people, and many seamen
have been brought into our religious
meetings, notably those of the V.M.C.A.
In the meantime, the Trustees of the
Sailor's Home have been preparing to
build, and are now well advanced in
their plans.
No doubt the present
financial stringency tends to hinder. It
is to be hoped that Mr. Greely's work
and wisely earnest spirit will contribute
effectively towards a full and early
materialization of those plans; and that
by their means, the moral and social
needs of this most important class of
frequenters of our ports will be provided
for, as they now are not.
Such a Home, as we hope ere long to
see in operation for the cheer and comfort of seamen, will be also a most important auxiliary in promoting their
spiritual advantage. When a sailor becomes a Christian, we know how warmhearted,
zealous, and resolute a
Christian he is apt to make, and what
cheer and stimulus he often brings into
our Christian gatherings. A Sailor's
Home will naturally become a rallying
place for such earnest Christian men.

While your Committee feel in a measure there is much cause for joy and congratulation in the above report, yet there
is so much still untouched in the work
about us, that it behooves us to urge
forward to greater endeavor; especially
do we refer to the necessity of a SubCommittee on Harbor Work. A grand
field lies open in this direction and our
Association should embrace this opportunity for furthering the interests of the
Master's cause and sending good cheer
and the gospel over the seas.
With an additional suggestion we
close. Reference is occassionally made
in our meetings to the limited number
who take part. We suggest that in no
case should the leader occupy more than
10 minutes or so in opening, and others
be urged promptly to respond and with
a careful stimulus soon would come the
time to 30 seconds limit.
W. C. Weedon,
Chairman Committee.
small to hold the increasing members
attending, and so the International Hall
was secured. This building was fitted
up by the association, its name changed
to Bethel Hall and services began in it
on December 26.
Prom the very beginning these meet
ings have not only been well attended
but also of great interest.
Men have been inquiring the way to
God. A score or more have expressed
their determination, with God's help to
lead a Christian life. Of these quite a
number have come out very clearly as
to their knowledge of their acceptance by
and sonship with Jesus Christ. The work
has been of great benefit to some of
those, who although Christians had
allowed themselves to sleep while on
duty. Work for God biings its blessing
not only to those for whom we labor
but also to the laborers. When the
Divine life in the soul is quickened then
men respond to the pleadings and leadings ofthe Holy Spirit.
The work is still going forward; work
for God once started never stops. The
meetings in Bethel Hall will continue, if
not every night at least thiee or four
nights in the week. The members of
the Y. M. C. A. cannot afford to allow
a few to carry on this work. Let us
put some of our prayers into actions,
some of our aspiring thoughts into
loving deeds. "For not the hearers of
the law are just before God, but the
doers of the law shall be justified.
We often pray that God's kingdom
may come; do we mean it; or is il a
mere form of words ? Our actions and
life tell to others as well as to ourselves
how much we are in earnest.
Reading Room.
By the contributions of a few of our
members the reading room committee
will he able this month, to add to the
attractions ofthe reading room by placing half a dozen large photogravures
with handsome koa frames upon its

attractiveness of the room but also give
visitors some idea of the loveliness of
this Hawaiian paradise.

Report of our Delegate to the London one of the highest character. Coming

foreigners to the missionaries was perA large audience assembled on Sun- haps at the height of its bitterness, he

Council.
port made by Justice L. McCully, as
Delegate from the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, to the International
Council of Congregational Churches,
held in London during July, 1891.
Our Delegate began by thanking the
churches for having added to his European tour such an unusual social and
religious enjoyment, as was experienced
at this Council. It was opened at
Memorial Hall on July 12th, and continued ten days. Mr. and Mrs. McCully were made the guests of Mr. A.
Spicer, at his palatial home in the
suburbs, where they were brought into
intimate intercourse with many prominent delegates.
The speaker noted the great variety
and interest of the many papers read,
and of the addresses made, extended
reports of which have appeared in the
American religious journals. He was
especially impressed with the advanced
theological views of the English divines,
as contrasted with the conservative
opinions of many Americans.
Our Delegate twice embraced opportunities given him for brief speeches at
the Council, in which he took occasion
to correct some mistaken impressions
current in Faigland respecting social
and political affairs at these Islands.
FVom printed reports of those remarks
of Judge McCully, as well as from his
own statements, we judge his statements to have been made with excellent
judgment, and likely to be useful.
The hospitalities and entertainments
at the Council were abundant and
varied, and were greatly enjoyed.
Among them were trips to John Bun
yan's Bedford home, also to Scroobywhere the Plymouth Pilgrims originated-
unusual business capacity was proved by
his success in the then difficult business
of sugar planting. Practically, he was
the father of successful sugar industry
here. Dr. Wood was one of the very
last links connecting us with the days
of the old chiefs and people who had
known and feared Kamehameha, and
the old gods and sacrifices. In 1839
when he came here, Honolulu was a
town mainly of thatched huts, with
wheeled vehicles almost unknown.
Results
of Astronomical Work at
Waikiki.
Nature, of Dec. 3rd, reports Sir William Thompson as saying:
"Prof. Eoerster of Berlin tells me
that he has already received from Honolulu a first instalment of several
hundred determinations of latitude,
made during a first three months of the
proposed year of observations; and that,
comparing these results with the corresponding results of the Berlin Observatory, he finds beyond doubt that in these
three months the latitude increased in
Berlin by one-third of a second, and
decreased in Honolulu by almost exactly the same amount. Thus we have
decisive demonstration, that motion relatively to the earth, of the earth's instantaneous axis of rotation, is the
cause of the variations of latitude which
had been observed in Berlin, Greenwich, and other observatories, and
which could not be wholly attributed to
errors of observation."
"These irregular movements of the
earth's axis are believed to be produced
by temporary changes of sea-level due
to meteorological causes."

Union Iron Works Closed.—We
deeply regret to notice that this large
and important establishment has been
compelled to suspend, throwing out of
work nearly sixty employees. These
works had only recently completed their
great contract for the Ewa Mill, for
over $200,000. Meantime the older establishment, the Honolulu Iron Works,
continues to supply the needs of the
country, as to machinery.
The immense depreciation of sugar
values consequent on the McKinley
Tariff Act will undoubtedly cause the
suspension of the weaker class of sugar
plantations to a considerable extent, and
a general shrinkage of values in all of
them. Hawaii has enjoyed fifteen "fat
years;" we will hope that the coming
years will not be distressingly lean,
although "hard times" are evidently
entered upon.
Here is an eloquent citation from Sir
Bartle Frere's article on the adaptation
of Christianity to all forms of civilization, in the "Missionary Intelligencer"
(linglish): "I speak simply as to matters of experience and observation, and
not of opinion; just as a Roman prefect
might have reported to Trajan or the
Antonines; and I assure you that, whatever you may be told to the contrary,
the teaching of Christianity among 160,-000,000 of civilized, industrious Hindus
and Mohammedans in India is effecting
changes, moral, social, and political,
which for extent and rapidity of effect
are far more extraordinary than anything you or your fathers have witnessed in modern Europe. Presented for
the first time to most of the teeming
Indian communities within the memory
of men yet alive—preached by only a
few scores of Europeans, who, with rare
exceptions, had not previous!' been remarkable among thi ii own people in
Europe for intellectual power or cultivation, who had little of worldly power
or sagacity, and none of the worldly
motives which usually carry men onward
to success—Christianity has nevertheless, in the course of fifty years, made
its way to every part ofthe vast mass of
Indian civilized humanity, and is now an
active, operative, aggressive power in
every branch of social and political life
on that continent."
Doing wrong always poisons something good in your own soul.
The man who conquers himself fights
a battle that the angels exult in.
There are no disappointments to those
whose wills are buried deep in the will
of God.
No man is really a large man who
does not feel that his duty is larger than
himself.
Holiness does not consist in doing
uncommon things, but in doing everything with purity of heart.

Disastrous Wreck of the "Tamerlane."
At 12:30 a.m. of February 2d, the
whaling bark Tamerlane ran ashore at
Keonepoko on the coast of Puna, Hawaii, sixteen miles from Hilo. The
coast was a bold lava bluff over deep
water, the sea breaking upon ledges at
the base of the cliff. The ship broke up
in a short time. Nineteen men, including the third, fourth and fifth officers,
succeeded in reaching the rocks over
wreckage which had become jammed.
The other eighteen, including the captain, and first and second mates, were
lost, most of them in an attempt to leave
the ship by boats, which were swamped.
The bark was only nineteen days out
from San Francisco. The land was
supposed to be at greater distance. The
sea was somewhat rough and the weather thick. No danger was apprehended
until the ship was nearly in the act of
striking. Capt. Walter Howland, and
Mates Charles Tucker and Allen Wilber,
lost, were all from New Bedford. Only
one body was recovered by the searchers.
The rescued seamen found relief at the
neighboring ranch of Capt. Eldarts, and
by him were conveyed to Hilo, where
Vice-Consul Furneaux relieved their
necessities, and forwarded them to Honolulu.
A solemn requiem service was held in
the Hilo Foreign Church on the 7th, at
which the 19 survivors were present.
This has been the most serious marine
disaster on record in these waters, except the loss of the Kulamanu, which
disappeared with nearly 100 people, last
seen entering the Hawaiian Channel,
some thirty years ago.
It is not often that the end comes to
men in form so sudden and terrible. We
cannot help the seamen that died. What
can we do for the living sailor-men, who
face danger and death so constantly?
They need to know the Savior, and to
feel his arm around them in the parting
hour. So do we all.
The "Australian" Ballot was used
for the first time in the late election,
and gives general satisfaction, although
there were many blunders made by illiterate voters. The polling was marked
by quiet and good order.

people have made great proficiency in
learning to read and write, I comforted
her with the hope that she might ere
long possess God's written word, which
might in a good measure compensate
for the want of a living teacher. In her
manner of conversing on religious subjects there is much intensity of feeling
mirrgled with true humility. Upon the
whole the word of God appears to have

of her people to have cordially embraced

sweet and precious hours apart in private
meditation. The rugged and lofty
mountain scenery enclosing us on every
side, save that washed by the ceaseless
waves of the Pacific, seemed to shut me
out wholly from the world, and lead me
to adore the Mighty hand who laid the
mountains in a balance, and takes up
the isles as a very little thing.
"In the evening during conversation I
learned some of the traditions concerning this valley which not a little diverted
my mind. As tradition reports, it was
originally the residence of Oaken and
Opapa,* the God and Goddess who
made Hawaii and all the others of this
group of islands. The story relates that
they were produced after the ordinary
manner of generation, in the order in
which they stand to each other; viz..
Hawaii the elder sister, Maui the second,
and so of the rest in order. After Opapa
had brought forth the islands, men were
then created in the same manner, she

joined together in the same manner.
Mawi, another deity, angry at this motionless statue, took him and broke his
legs at the ankle and knee, and tearing
the arms from the web that connected
them to his body, broke them at the
elbow and shoulder.
"But as yet he had neither fingers or
toes. Hunger impelled him to seek for
food in the mountains, where his toes
were cut out by the brambles in climbing,
and his fingers were also formed by the
sharp splinters of the bamboo while
searching with his arms for food in the
ground. By these fortuitous circumstances the human frame was perfected.
"Monday, 19.—Owing to the high and
impassable mountains between this place
and Waipio, and which here terminate
in lofty and abrupt cliffs that overhang
the sea, I found it impossible to proceed
along the shore.
* In order to
shorten our route, we ascended the
mountain that encloses the valley by an
inland and unfrequented path, which
proved extremely laborious and difficult.
» * We were obliged to crawl on our
hands and knees, and holding fast by the
grass, to pull ourselves up. * * We
ascended in a sloping direction towards
the interior. In a few hours we arrived at
a level and fertile region that extends along the foot of the mountains on our left.
We passed through several ham*lets *where
schools were established. In
three of these I had the pleasure to
preach the Gospel to considerable numbers who had never before heard it. I
likewise received several presents of
fowls and potatoes for myself and company to refresh ourselves. * * After
travelling until 8 o'clock, we concluded
to pass the night in a cave on the bordei
of a ravine called Luahine.

cold wind from the land soon drove me

where I labored incessantly all night,
and at daybreak we found ourselves just
at the entrance of the Bay.
"Byron's Bay, Dec. 2X—Arrived at the
house of Mr. Goodrich just after sunrise,
cold and wet by the sea, but after taking
a cordial, felt relieved from my oppression. Found Mr. G. and family in
health, and just removed into their new
thatched house, built by order of Kaahumanu. It stands on the west side of
the bay, about 30 rods from the beach,
upon a piece of land recently granted him
by Government. It is pleasant indeed
after many days of travel and fatigue
among the heathen, over mountains and
vallies, exposed to storms by day and
vermin at night, to repose once more in
the bosom of friendship and Christian
Society.
-"Sabbath, 25.—Preached morning and
evening at the usual place of worship.
The house was filled and good attention
given in general to the word. But it is
to be regretted that no better example is
set, and no more countenance given to
religious things by Koahou the chief at
this place. He still retains three wives,
and revels in all the abominations of
heathenism; while neither he or bis people are often at church. Such an example from a principal chief has a pernicious effect upon the common people,
and accordingly there are found more
open opposers among the natives of this
place than at any other station. Still
there is much to encourage to persevering effort in maintaining this important
outpost. Schools are multiplying and
knowledge is increased. There is also
a praying circle, and a few individuals
give evidence of hopeful piety.

A
Brief History of the Hawaiian
People'
by W. D. Alkxandkk. Published by
order of the Board of Education of the
Hawaiian Kingdom. American Boot
Company, pp. 3i\'and 7 maps.
This long delayed History has at last
arrived, and we are favored with a sam
pie copy. The publishers have really
done justice to the excellence of the con
tents. It is a beautiful book, outside and
within, as well as a choice piece of work,
in literary, scientific and historical merit.
The binding is tasteful, not show)'.
The paper is nice. The type is large,
open and clear. The numerous head
ings are conspicuous in antique type.
The seven maps are distinct, well colorad, and reasonably accurate. The mi
merous illustrations are carefully select
ed, and generally quite well engraved,
some of them new to us. A few of the
royal portraits are perhaps a little haul
in the expression, but all are thoroughly
recognizable. The half-dozen photo
types are very good, especially the line
portrait of her present Majesty.
The Author -for his work is no compilation -tells us that while the book is
intended for use by higher classes in our
schools, it is also a history for the bene
fit of the general public. In a rapid
survey, every paragraph has seemed to
us to bear witness to the author's industrious and original research, as well as
to his judicious selection, and severe but
skillful condensation of the immense amount of material in his hands, both old
and new.
Notwithstanding thii crowding of
material, the book is anything but haul
reading. The style is pure, easy and
entertaining. We find the book thoroughly fascinating. It seems to be
highly accurate, as well as impartial in
its treatment of facts. Noting his limitations, the author says,"A history that
aims to be both unsectaiian and non
partisan must necessarily be incomplete.
The dark side of the condition of the
people in ancient times, and of their intercourse with foreigners had to be in
great part ignored." Like all the products of the human brain, the work will
prove open to criticism, and we shall
look to take a hand ourselves in some
friendly criticism. But we have no
doubt that Alexander's Hawaiian History
will long be the standard work Km
general use and reference.
The thirty-six chapters are divided into three parts, viz., I. Prehistoric Period;
11. To the death of Kamehameba; and
111. Later History. Under the first
head are given the Physical Geography,
the Origin of the Hawaiian People, and
the Ancient Hawaiian Voyages. These
are followed by eleven valuable chapters,
involving the most laborious research,
upon the ancient customs, laws, worship,
religion, superstitions, ceremonies, festivals, arts, manufactures, amusements,
etc., etc. On these points especial credit is given to aid from Mr. J. S. Emer-

son. The whole is a compact, lucid,
and animated arrangement of Hawaiian
antiquarian lore, and a strong framework of such knowledge for the preparation ofall who desire to delve deeper in
the mine.
The reliable history of Part 11. begins
about six hundred years back, becoming
more definite from about I 150 A. I).
From the birth of Kaniehameha in 1796,
the history is in full detail. From 1810
onwards, the author has been enabled to
add materially to previous knowledge
from search of government archives and
a variety of old manuscript records.
Like advantages have copiously aided
the preparation of the Later History of
Part 111. It begins with the abolition of
Idolatry and the introduction of Christianity, and closes with the accession of
Liliuokalani, occupying fifteen chapter*.
and 176 pages, or a little more than one
half of the book.
There is a good Table of Contents,
and what is apt to be lacking, a seemingly copious Index. The work is certain
to be in great demand by general readers.
We presume that like other school books,
it will be sold at a moderate price.
Hawaiian-born resident! have cause

Father Bishop's Journal.—The portions of this journal for 1825 7 appear
in this issue. Ol especial interest to
some, will be the account of the earnest
piety and religious inquiry of Mrs. John
Young, who was the grandmother of
the late Queen Emma. Possibly the
tradition of W'akea anil Papa as reported
may present some new features. The
Involution of Man as herein described,
though "unscientific," has points of interest, especially as illustrating the action ofthe untaught Polynesian intellect.
We expect to continue the story, giving
the return trip to Koni via the Volcano

The Volcano is

ing and voting under the Australian
Ballot system. Zeal was great and party
spirit ran high. We hear that most ol
the students were elected by each other
to office. As a finale, Miss Mary Alexander was elected l)ueen.
General
Armstrong
has continued
to gain slowly since his return to Hampton; sits up a little, and has taken a few
steps, with support. He begins to have
l
me feeling, but no motion, in the fingof the paralyzed hand. He sleeps
well; his mind is clear; he listens to reading, and is interested to know what goes
on in the school. "He is brave and
patient as from the first, and has made
up his mind to a year off from active
participation in his own work."

Mrs. Florence Williams concluded her valuable course of lectures, on
Literature and History, by one upon
Napoleon, given through Her Majesty's
kindness in the Throne Room of the
Palace, and attended by 70 or 80 ladies.
Her treatment of her topic was mainly
by a forcible and penetrating analysis
of the conqueror's motives and policy,
and while deeply interesting was instructive rather than amusing. The ladies of Honolulu have been receiving a
laige amount of stimulating intellectual
nutriment from this course ol lectures.
The Rainy Season lasted seven
weeks, giving on School street 8.25
inches in January, and 4.32 in February,
The ram seems to have been very generally distributed on Oahu, as well as the
other islands, and verdure prevails everywhere.

Work Among the Seamen.
The following correspondence, rela
live to the continuance rtf Kcv. Prank
N. Greeley in the work fin seamen, is
submitted to the readers of Thl Fan NO
as follows.
Under date of the 17th inst.
the following invitation was addressed
to Mr. Greeleyi
"At an impromptu gathering ol those
who are interested in the work you are
doing among the seamen, held last even
ing at the Y. M. C. A. parlors, the
following resolution was unanimously
passed: 'That we express to Mr. Greeley
our appreciation of the services he has
rendered in the past, and also our sense
of the great need of bis continuance in
such service; and, therefore, that we
ask him to remain among us, woi kin;;
independently as to the salary part, as
heretofore, but in conjunction with the
Y. M. C. A., if it may be so arranged.'
Although you statetl that you probably
could not remain longer than June next,
still the hope was expressed that by that
time the work might assume Very deli
nite shape for others to C'it) on.il you
have to go. Yours very truly." [Signed
by a representative of those interested.j
To this letter the following reply was
made:
"Honolulu, 11. 1., Feb. is, 1892.
"My Dear Brother;
"A reply to ymii esteemed favor ol
the 17th inst., giving me a report of the
action taken on Tuesday evening last,
by the gentlemen interested in my work
among the sailors, has been delayed,
with the thought and the hope that I
might feel justified in accepting toe prop
osition and remaining longer with you
But I am compelled to return answer
this morning, that circumstances do not
seem to warrant a longer sojourn heie;
and that, with my family, I must take
passage in a few days lor San Francisco,
Let me assure you, my brother, anil .ill
the gentlemen associated with you, that
personal considerations alone determine
this decision. In the welcome so cor
dially given me, in the kind words of
appreciation spoken of this <|iiiet work,
and in the promise of results which the
work itself has recently given, I have
found so much to hold me here, that
this answer is returned with genuine reluctance.
"Hoping that the renewed interest recently shown in the hundreds of sailors
who visit your port may become a permanent feature of the social anil religious life of your city, 1 am,
"Very sincerely yours,
[Signed] "Prank Norton Grebi by."
It may be ol interest to note that the
Young Men's Christian Assoi iation havt
taken the mailer in hand, and hope to
be able to g ion with much of lire work
Mr. Greeley leaves, and so till his pi ice
so far as possible, until such time as the
work may be taken up in better shape,
and a Sailors' Home established.

Rev. 0. P* Emerson,

THE FRIEND.
-
Editor.
Mr. Theo. H. Davies, of the firm of
Davies •& Co., of this city, and whuis
now residing in Liverpool, England, has
again come to the help of the Hoard,
and again it is a thousand dollars.
There are those who deeply appreciate
the relief which such generosity brings.
By the kindness of the Waianae
Sugar Co., and of Mr. Alliens, the plantation manager, and of other friends, the
Waianae Church has been able to Very
materially enlarge the accommodations
of its parsonage. In place of an old
house formerly occupied by a leper, and
which has been used as an eating house
and store room, there has been erected
a very sizable structure with dining
room, pantry and kitchen. And the old,
tainted building that we used to enter
with a shudder has been removed.
It necessitated the keeping of practically two schools, one in ljueen Emma
Hall, and the other on the premises of
the Chinese Church and Y. M. C. A.
The growth of this feeling has brought
a change of method. The boys and
the girls have been brought together,
the little ones in the lower rooms of the
church ami the larger ones in the upper
rooms of the Y. M. C. A.
This has been the arrangement since
the beginning of the term, and so far
has proved entirely satisfactory. It has
the advantage of affording the girls better quarters, and also of a very material
reduction of expense, live teachers now
being able to do the work which formerly required seven.
It is not thought wise for the Hawaiian Hoard to oiler to pay the salaries of
possible missionaries who may be secured for better conduct of the native
work. We cannot do this in addition
to what we are already doing.
While the A. B. C. P. M. refuses to
help us care for strangers who have
come to us without the knowledge of the
Gospel, we believe it is ready to reopen
its all but closed work among the Hawaiians. This is it-, original mission
among us. It is ours to proclaim to the
parent Hoard our urgent need of help in
this direction, and we shall be wise if
we ask our brethren ol the native ministry to join Ul in this request, and prom
ise to any who may be sent us a warm
Welcome, and a definite, tiie,,inic relation
to the work.
We must take our share of the blame

Business Meeting.
In the unavoidable absence of both
Ihe President and the Vice-President,
Mr. P. J. Lowrcy was called to the chair.
About 30 members were present.
The Treasurer's report showed Receipts for the month, $333.80; Disbursements, $222.7 ft; leaving a lialance on
hand of $101.Oft.
The (ien. Secretary, Mr. Peck, in his
report says,"The feature of the month
has been the Bethel Hall meetings."
A large number have been converted,
some young men, but more ol those who
are near middle life. Several large pho
togravures of Vistas of Hawaii suitably
framed in koa wood have been hung in
the reading room, and matting has been
placed under the tables, considerably mi
proving th*j room in appearance. Mr.
Ripley reports the work of the Temperance Committee merged in that of the
Hethel Hall evangelistic meetings.
Mr. Hidwell reports the members ol
the Visitation Committee having made
14 calls at the Hospital, 31 special sick
calls, and 3 visits to the prison; 38 in all.
The Entertainment Committee report
a Y. M. C. A. benefit in the Association
Hall on the evening of the 33rd inst., at
which the Hawaiian Camera Club will
assist.
The Employment Committee's report
of very numerous applications for employment was followed by quite a full
discussion of the matter by several ol
the members. Later in the evening
this important subject was resumed.
Mr. C. M. Cooke reported a meeting
of the Finance Committee. The financial outlook seems satisfactory.
The collection amounted to $S.l.r >.
It was moved by Mr. Howen that a
new committee be formed, to be known
as "The Harbor and Shipping Commit
tee." Several of the older members
made remarks. Key. S. F. Bishop gave
us the history of the old Hethel property.
Certain documents in his possession
show that a sum of $1,000 is now held
by the "American Seamen's Friend
Society." of New York, that might possibly be obtained for special work among
sailors, such as Rev. F. N. Greely has
lately been engaged in. The resolution
was carried, and the new committee will
endeavor to get together all the informa-
tion on this subject.
It was moved by Mr. C. M. Cooke
that Mr. H. W. Peck be invited to remain with us another year as General

Help for Gen. Armstrong and Hampton,
Enthusiastic Meeting at the
Old South.
The following extracts from the BosJournal of Dec. 16th, tell of the
meeting.
"Huston's philanthropists and those
interested in the negro and the Indian
gathered in the Old South Meeting
House Tuesday noon for the purpose of
furthering and carrying on the work
commenced by General S. C. Armstrong,
who now lies in a precarious condition,
suffering with paralysis at the Parker
House. The meeting was an enthusiastic one; one might say it was necessarily
so, because the great men whose words
from Boston's pulpits and whose sentences from ready pens will go down in
the history of the metropolis of New
England were there, and with the utmost
freedom sanctioned the work carried on
by the Hampton Institute. General
Armstrong, were he present, might well
look back over his life spent in endeavoring to educate the ignorant and exclaim,
'The hour of my success is now.'
Burning words from the lips of such
men as Phillips Hrooks, Dr. Ha c, Rev.
Samuel Hliot and Dr. G. A. Gordon,
who are strangers to Battery, heaped upon the fallen lit ro the praises of grateful
people."
Rev. Edward Everett Hale said: "The
General has done more for the reconstruction of a nation than any other
man in this country, I believe. He has
committed himself to the work in a
practical and business like way, and to
those persons who come to me soliciting
my aid for other schemes I say to
them, 'Take care of Hampton, your
own school.' I will use one expression
of (ten. Armstrong's and say that when
you send a teacher to the South or West
you send a man wlio will deal personallygwith the inhabitants, and that is what
we want."
Rev. Samuel Hliot D.D., said: "The
school takes a class of young men and
women in charge, few of whom are prepared in any way for education, and
commences to instruct them. Soon its
ton
favored schools, and which I would not
dare claim for Boston's schools, and
which exists in no way in our great
colleges. When the farewell sermon
had been preached to the class of'9l,
the thirty-three graduates, men and
women, stood up in front of the pulpit
and, in words I never shall forget pledged themselves to the service of the
Master."
Rev. S.J. BatTOWl was the next speaker. He said: "The best virtue of work
is the work itself, and let this message
be carried to the sick Principal, that of
the angel of old. 'I know thy works,
and thy love, and thy faith, and thy
service, and thy patience, and thy last
work is more than thy first.' When the
smoke of war cleared away there was a
black cloud on the horizon, and that
cloud was a race of 100,00(1 slaves, crying aloud for assistance, and General
Armstrong stepped from the front of a
regiment in blue and answered the call.
What has been put into the work is best
illustrated by what has come out of it.
The whole South feels the influence of
the Hampton Institute."
Rev. H. H. Frissell, Chaplain of the
school, spoke upon the needs of the

of all was the raising of the (15,000

''We need more $70.00
scholarships, which will increase the
revenue of the school, and we want more
from churches and individuals. I hold
here the first page of a hook which will
appeal next February, entitled 'Twentytwo Yean at Hampton,' the life woi k of
the General. If you could manage to
give one of these books to those families
here in Boston who do not believe in
the work, you would be doing a great
favor."
The next speaker was Hooker T.
Washington, a pupil of the school. He
is a clean-cut negro ofabout 2ft years of
age, and surprised his listeners by his
address. His language was well chosen,
his utterance perfect, and in a well
modulated voice eloquently related the
condition of his people, their wants, his
ambitions, and softly spoke of the great
love which his class bears for Gen.
Armstrong. "We worshp him," he
said, "and when one of us workers becomes negligent, indifferent or selfish
we are supported by the thought of our
Principal laboring for the love of men."
The Rt. Rev. Phillips Hrooks said
"We are not here especially to pity
Gen. Armstrong, for I believe he is to
be congratulated more than pitied. A

emancipation, and by his eloquence has
melted the frozen extremes of prejudice.
The man and his work have been closely connected and by the work is shown
the man. He has accomplished the
ideal of his life."
This committee was then appointed
Dr.
to solicit funds for the Institute:
Samuel Hliot, Mr. Henry Woods, Mr.
R. H. Steams, Mrs. Mary Hemenway,
Mrs. William Claflin, Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, Mrs. Ellen F. Mason,
Mrs. E, C. Holden, Mr. Elbridge Torrey,
Rev. Edward G. Porter, Mr. Edwin 1).
Meade, Mr. Frank Wood, Mr. J. W.
Davis. The meeting adjourned at 1:30
o'clock.
DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF OLBA.
It is with hearty regret that we record
the sudden decease of the very excellent
Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church
in these Islands, a man whom we have
long known and highly respected.
"Father Hermann" as he was familiarly known before his elevation, surnamed
Koeckmann, was from the Rhine, of
German Birth. He joined the R. C.
Mission here in November, 1851. At
the death of the aged Hishop Maigret in
1881, he was promoted to the vacant
Bishopric, with the titular diocese of
"Olba" (in partibus infidelium). He
was in his 64th year.
Father Hermann for a long time ministered to the English-speaking people
of his church in Honolulu, and was most
favorably known to them and their Protestant friends. The late Rev. Artemas
Hishop very highly esteemed him, after
frequent contact with him in his often
visits to Mr. Bishop's son-in-law, during
a long sickness.
They had much friendly and good-tempered controversy.
The Hishop was struck with paralysis
on the morning of the 18th ult., and died
without farther consciousness on the
evening of the 22d. The body lay in
state in the Cathedral during Tuesday,
wearing the miter, and holding the crazier, with burning candles, and Hawaiians waving Kahilis. The funeral on
Wednesday forenoon was an imposing
one, and was attended by the state officers, Diplomatic Corps, leading citizens,
and chief representatives of the different
churches.
It must be very difficult to suitably fill
the place of a prelate so intimately acquainted with the peculiarities of his
diocese, and personally so acceptable to
all classes, including the Anglo-Saxon
and leading element.

A PREPOSTEROUS ACCUSATION.
A leading complaint against our Puritan Congregational Church in America
and these islands has always been of its
undue severity in matters of social
morals. But now we are catching it
upon the other side. The combination
of events is as follows.
A
'tninent member and office-holder
in th Anglican Church, a cultivated
half-white, desired immediate marriage
with a step-daughter. Of course no
white minister would solemnize so revolting a union. Resort was had to a
Hawaiian minister of our denomination.
He wa:. of course less enlightened than his
white brethren. The parties had a government license to marry, which, as a native
hew old naturally feel to beauthoritative.
He married them. The marriage was
published in the daily papers, and from
them copied into the marriage column
of The Friend, which the Kditor does
not usually supervise.
N. v conies the Honolulu Diocesan
Mag,: me of March 15th, edited by the
Bishop of Honolulu, and on the basis
of the above facts, charges The Friend,
and the vhole Congregational body with
lending approval to such a marriage.
This di-gusting charge is too absurd

for serious refutation. Why did not the But their crime is one of which society
Diocesan state tbe fact that the offending must continue to feel a wholesome
minister was a Hawaiian, which would
have changed the whole aspect of the
case ? We will here say that the Oahu
Association is the only ecclesiastical
body having immediate jurisdiction over
the native pastors on Oahu, and will
hold its semi-annual session some time
this month. We have no doubt that
the Association will then make suitable
expression of opinion, stigmatizing such
marriages as incestuous. We think no
such case has hitherto arisen here.
We have since been
to learn
that the minister did not become
aware of the kinship of the parties until after the ceremony j.
Tin-: Marriage pf a Deceased
Will's Sisikr. The Diocesan drags
into tbe case this controverted question—
controverted still in England, but practically settled in the United States and
the British Colonies in favor of such
marriages. He dangerously confuses
these utterly diverse cases as based
alike on the principle that man and
wife ate ' one flesh," which we deem to
have no bearing on either case.
We regard the Diocesan as quite in
the dark as to the real ground of the
iucestuous character of marriage to a
step-child. As we understand it, the
sacred and tender relation of parent and
child is such as to create an essential
sacrilege in the act of a child occupying
the marital relation that has belonged to
the parent. As quoted by the Diocesan
from Paul, this is a crime such "as is
not so much as named among the heathen." It is an act revolting to the
general moral sense of mankind, as
really, though in less degree than incest
We contend that
of child with parent.
there is no such repugnance felt to a
brother or sister succeeding to the
marriage relation of one deceased. The
Mosaic law indeed required brothers
thus to take the place of deceased
brothers.
To confound the character of the
the Diocesan does,
two acts as
seems to us as tending to confuse the
moral sense in a very unwholesome and
demoralizing manner.
In so severe!)' stigmatizing such a
union, we do not mean to place the
offenders beyond the pale of charity, or
deny to them the hope of restoration to
some degree of social esteem. Clean,
temperate, dutiful lives are open to them
for the future, bringing the enjoyment
of God's grace and man's kindly regard.

horror, under the penalty of the corruption and destruction of its holiest ties.
A GKAVB I'ai'i.t of the Anglican
Ci iiK(.\.—A fit occasion has now arisen
for us to free our minds to these very
excellent brethren, as we have not
hitherto felt quite at liberty to do. We
hold them in very high esteem as godly,
devout, self-denying, and in many respects wise and efficient workers for the
kingdom of Christ and the salvation of
men. Their error which we seek to
point out is due not to personal defects,
but to their peculiar training in a State
Church. We charge upon the Anglican
Clergy that they have directly blunted
and corrupted the moral sense of their
immediate flock and of the whole Hawaiian people by their uniform practice of
welcoming Royalty to the Holy Communion directly from the midst of an
abominable living the most notorious and
shameless. They have donethis in accordance with the English practice where the
sovereign being officially at the head of the
Church, abandoned characters like
George the Fourth, and other Royal
Princes are welcome without question to
desecrate the Table of the Lord.
An extreme case of this kind occurred
here a few years since which scandalized
the whole community, when in the
midst of the King's vilest excesses, the
Bishop personally gave him the communion, and published the fact as matter
of gratulation. The Rev. George Wallace, as he stated to us, remonstrated
with his Bishop in very severe language,
but received only the reply in a derisive
tone, "Why, it is the King!"
This thing is understood by Hawaiians
to mean that religion is matter of
form and not of character. It has tended
to confuse and lower the moral sense of
the whole corrinunity. It can hardly
be doubted that it has materially contributed to the disastrous deterioration
of morals and lapse towards heathenism
of the Hawaiian people of late years. In
the case of the recent offender, who was
prominent in Court as well as Church,
his moral and religious ideas must have
suffered serious confusion/in seeing ths
King come reeking from his heati .n
abominations, and welcomed at the sacred
altar!
Now while we are on the war-path,
we take occasion to declare the detestation very widely felt here, of the effort to
erect a statue to a King of so debased a
personal character.

Hawaii Honors General Armstrong.
A strong meeting of whites and
natives was held on the evening of the
9th ult. for the purpose of expressing
sympathy for Gen. S. C. Armstrong. It
was addressed by Messrs. Dole, Hartwell. Beckwith, Severance, J. S. Emerson, Oleson and Hyde. Dr. Beckwith
read a letter just received from the
General. He was able to discuss school
affairs, and steadily improving. The
following resolutions were passed unanimously:
"Whereas, the Hawaiian friends of
General Samuel C. • Armstrong have
learned with solicitude of his recent illness, and wish to put on record and send
to him an expression of their aloha, therefore, be it
•■Resolved, that Hawaii is delighted to
own General Armstrong, who was born
and who spent his boyhood and youth
in Honolulu, and by his subsequent
national services in the United States,
has donet he highest honor to the land
of his birth, and
"Resolved also, that his friends in Honolulu and throughout the Hawaiian
Islands hope that he will long be spared
to see the results of his grand work
among the Negroes and Indians at
Hampton,
"And also, that this resolution, voted
in the old stone church at Kawaiahao,
be sent to General Armstrong as a simple token of love and sympathy from

THE FRIEND.
Resignation of Mr. Oleson.
POLITICAL NEWS.
We deeply regret that the Rev. Wm.
B. Oleson has announced to the Directors of Kamehameha School, his resignation of the office of Principal, to take
effect not later than July 1, 1893. His
reasons are that the labors of the position have been manifestly too onerous
for his strength, which has shown many
signs of succumbing; also the need of
making a change to ministerial and pastoral work in time, as well as to provide
in season for the education of his growing family in the home land. We have
no question as to the urgency of these
reasons. We rejoice that Mr. Oleson's
services have been secureduntilthis noble
school has become established on a firm
basis, and less experienced hands may
he found able to carry on the good work.
But we do not the less regret the irreparable loss of his labors as an educator,
and of his counsels as a citizen.
Although our good brother has lacked
opportunity to acquire that facility as a
preacher which long practice brings, be
possesses exceptional ability in the pulpit. Few discourses in Honolulu pulpits
have satisfied us better than his, or have
been more stimulating. We expect for
him a future of great service to the
Church of Christ. Our beloved brother
will carry with him tbe most affectionate
regards of a large body of the best young
men of that Hawaiian race for which he
has labored in Hilo and Honolulu so
many years.
It seems that about a week ago the
Marshal had definite information, as he
believed, of a plan of Wilcox to make
another attempt to capture the Government. The soldiers of the Guard were
in consequence employed one night in
filling a quantity of bags with sand from
the Palace walks, and piling them on
the basement wall of the Palace, apparently an inane procedure. Tbe sight of
the bags, however, last Monday morning
produced a sensation in the public mind.
The impression was created that the
Government were alarmed about something. It is probable that the very unscrupulous correspondents of the California papers sent on their usual assort
merit of sensational antl injurious reports; and that the American public will
be told that a revolution is imminent in
Hawaii, to our financial injury.
So far as we can learn it is true that
Wilcox wants to dethrone tile Cjueen and
set up a republic, with himself as president, but that he is totally kicking in the
necessary support, and knows it. It is
quite improbable that be will attempt it,
unless he becomes deluded, as he was in
ISS9, by the careless expressions oi' (lis

times, but which do not mean support
Honolulu welcomes back Admiral
Brown of the Flag Ship San Francisco.
He has had some interesting, and same
unpleasant experiences in Chili, since
his last visit to us. Mrs. Brown and
their son have joined the Admiral here.
We trust the comfort and cheer of Honolulu will compensate for the less agreeable things on the Chilian coast.
W. A. Aldrich, a prominent capitalist
of ilameda County died recently at
Piedmont, Cal., at the age of 68. Mr.
Aldrich was long a leading citizen of
Honolulu, and senior partner of the firm
of Aldrich, Bishop & Co. Two sons still
reside in Honolulu.
We are glad to welcome back Dr.
Chas. A. Peterson and family. Mrs. P.
has been absent for a long time. The
Doctor's shingle hangs out on Nuuanu
street, just above the Fagle House.
Judge Kuihelani of Wailuku died at
that place on February 21st, at the great
age of eighty-six years. He was a
native of chief descent, and great integrity of character, long a member of the
Privy Council and of the old house of
Nobles. He was tax assessor and collector of Wailuku for years, and afterwards Police Justice for a long period.
to
insurrection.
There is no doubt that Wilcox, Ash
ford and Bush have taken encouragement to their schemes to get themselves
into power by violence, from a very widespread restless looking to annexation as
a probable source of relief for our pies
ent financial difficulties. The public,
however, have 100 much sense to accept
the leadership of that Junta, or to sup
pose that the United States would deal
with a new republic inaugurated under
such disreputable auspices.
We wish to put ourselves on record .is
earnestly desiring the present continuance of the Monarchy. It is probable
that the Government will ultimately become republican. The nation is not yet
ripe for that. Il would, under present
social conditions, be probably disastrous.
What is nmst needed just now is for
the Queen to inspire public confident
in herself b\ putting away certain advisers of ill-tepute, and putting her:-' If
under the guidance of men in whom tbe
public all have confidence. We believe
that the Queen means well, and desires
to act loyally to the Constitution and the
nation. We believe that her throne will
be well supported if she is seen to associate wise counsellors with herself.

PtNA COFFEE Lands. Messrs. Rufus
Lyman and sons have secured extensive
tracts in Fast Puna, and are about to
engage largely in Cattle and Dairy farm
ing. They also propose to plant coffee.
As A. B. Lobenstein says, "Puna is the
coffee district." It has the necessary
elevation and moisture. Its chief excellence, like Kona, is its soil of recent lava
formation, largely aa or clinker. Potsome reason, new lava, or else volcanic
ash and cinder, produce a rich flavor in
coffee that is found on no other soil.
What Puna now most needs, is Roads.
The new Volcano Road is opening fine
coffee and other lands.
The Crown Lands.—It has long
been felt that the public interest required
that the Sovereign's life interest in these
extensive lands should he commuted for
a Stipend, and the lands sold for homesteads to actual settlers. It now appears
that the late King defrauded both his
successors and the nation by leasing a
large proportion of these lands on thirty
year leases at low rates. He undoubtedly received therefor large sums in
hand, to relieve his pressing necessities.
The worst of it is. that these leases arc
good
in
law.

Hyde:—
I thank you very
Dear Bro.
much for yours by last mail, giving me
your gratifying notes ol your Portuguese
trip to Hilo. You speak of regretting
that you could not call at Kohala on
your way either up or down, but bad you
done so the call I le.it would have been
to you very unsatisfactory. 1 have seen
no one outside of our family since
Thanksgiving. All this time I have
been prostrate on my bed, with perhaps
two or three sittings up a week of not
over the average of an hour each. Into
this short period must be condensed
whatever little personal duties I owe to
myself, and also all the reading in which
lam able to indulge. The deprivation
of reading is to me as you can readily
understand one of the greatest of my
trials. I have sometimes spoken of myself as a wreck, but that is not doing
justice to tbe Divine purposes and
methods. God makes no wrecks. Rather
I would think of myself as a craft in
the process of being dismantled. Gently and graciously my Father takes from
me one part of tbe furnishing after
another, as though bis purpose were to
reduce me to my original nothingness,
but it is ail well, 1 would have his blessed
will done in me and through me as well
as by me. An inventory ol on- present

they have lost half their masticating
power. Any ordinary conversation can ied
on at my side I hear nothing of, and in
general I may be said to be reduced tb
the smallest measure of manhood. As
several of my friends have indicated a
desire to come up and see me once more
you will notice in the above that such
calls could only be productive of great
dissatisfaction both to themselves and
me, as there could be no free communication .between us, and even were il
otherwise possible, I have not the
strength for more than a few minutes
conversation. * * * This is a long
letter, it cannot be repeated, and for the
information of those friends Who would
be glad to meet me once more on these
shores of time may I ask you to have it
read before the Hawaiian Board or
otherwise if there is nothing objectionable in your mind to such reading.
Very truly you is.

The last mail from the coast brought
letters from M icronesia.
(iapt. Garland reports that, till Jan.
'.Kb, they had been favored with good

they were making I .utaiitari, the last

THE FRIEND.
The Slti i left I Ui tat it ;ti i for Kusaie
and the west via llanaba island, On Jan.
13th. Her keel had touched coral once
or twice, bill without serious damage.
All on board wen- then well with the ex
ception of Mr. Walkup, who was sullei
ing from a cold.
Capt. Garland reports the three Hawaiian Missionaries, Revs. Lono, Maka
and Kanoho, as planning to. return in
1893, and suggests that Dr. Hyde keep
his Theological plant running night and
day, so that by that date there may be
a new supply ol missionaries on hand.
Prom Ponape we learn that Consul
Rand was received by the Spaniards
and was granted an interpreter. He is
located at Ihe colony, which is on the
north silk- of the island, tbe place which
tatbei Doane called Canaan. TheCon
sul took lodgings with a tiadei while his
house was being built.
Prom Ruk We hear that Mrs. Logan
and Miss Kinney moved into then new
school bouse- last September and thai
the work is prosperous.
News comes from Huston that Miss
Palmer is to return to Kusaie to join
Miss Hoppin, and that Miss Little has
been gi anted leave ol absence. Shewill probably come up on the Star with
Dr. and Mrs. Pease and family.
Dr. Smith writes thai "Mrs. Garland
sails from New York by the way of the
Isthmus of Panama, with her mother,
foi San PrarrcisCO, and hopes to reach
Honolulu soon aftel the first of May.
It is her expectation, as I understand,
to go down to Micronesia with her bus
band on the coming voyage." The Dr.
adds, "only one missionary, as we are
now advised, vv ill be lead)' to go down
to Micronesia by the Star: Miss Annie
E. A bell, who is to join Mrs. Logan
and Miss Kinney at Ruk. She is now
studying at Oberlin. She understands
the arrangements for the year, and expects to sail from San PrancisCO so as
to arrive in Honolulu June 2nd."
Capt. Garland writes for an ice making machine, which he has seen, one
that can at least give them cold water in
hot latitudes.
Shin.mo, Japan, that he arrived safely,
"after fifteen days of pleasant voyaging
from Honolulu.
* * 1 had sevei
al opportunities lo preach the unspeak
able love of (iod to the Japanese passen

mother. Think of his heart—who had
lost a leg and gained nothing! We
thought bun a proper subject of our
chanty and we raised nearly $43, which
will, no doubt, help him to learn some
trade.
••During the last eight years Japan
has been changed wonderfully, and I am
a kind of dreamer, anil can baldly real
ice that I have returned to my home.
During my Btaj ~t Tokio I called on
Mr. Irwin, the Hawaiian Minister, and
was treated very kindly indeed. When
on the Ttli mat. I returned to my parental home in tbe province of Shinano, the
whole village welcomed me so warmly
that I have forgotten the coldness of the
climate. On the day of my arrival we
had a party of 1.'.11 persons. Think of it!
I am still very bus) with my visitors
from morning to night, and have hardly
tune enough lo write as much as I wish.
"1 have already preached to our
villagers about Jesus Christ our Lord
an.l Savior. lam talking lo my parents
and relatives about your kindness. * *
Please accept my thanks and mv par

whom I owe the same."
Mr. Okahe was a fellow voyager to
Japan with one Win. Hammond, late ol
this city.
Rev. E. S. Timoteo, pastor of the
church at Waialua, Oahu, has lately
made a visit with the people of Wailuku,
Maui, and with very good results. The
parish was divided into districts and a
time of visitation given to each. The
get good. The subject will probably
come up at the next General meeting.
In 1890 the native church at Onomea,
Hawaii, gave its pastor leave of indefinite absence on the ground, Ist. of the
greatness of their indebtedness to him,
2nd. the smallness of the membership,
3rd. that so many have joined the Mormons.
This was the third time the
church had dismissed its pastor within
about as many years.
By the middle of I Mil the church was
practically dead. It held no meetings,
raised no money and paid no contributions. It was beyond calling a minister.
It was then that the Hawaiian Board,
unwilling to let the wotJ< utterly fail in
this weed grown parish, took it up and
placed it in charge of one of the late gradHe
uates of tbe Theological Institute.
has been there now nearly a _>ear and
has called together quite a little congregation. They furnished him with money
to buy lumber, mother Rice gave him a
kit of tools and he has built himself a
parsonage. By this means the prospect
lias been somewhat brightened for the
natives of Onomea.
This hard working pastor is in need
of a bed room-set. The Secretary would
be glad to be notified if any one has a
part or the whole of such a set to spare.
Second-hand, inexpensive pieces offur-
niture going towards the making of such
a set
will be thankfully received.
The March meeting of the Hawaii
Association began this, year at Puako on
Friday the 11th inst., and continued till
Saturday noon the l'Jth. Ten pastors
were present and three were absent All
but three of the churches were represented by delegates. The people of Puako,
undei the lead of Judge Mahuka, had
repaired their little stone meeting-house
and dressed the woodwork inside with a
fresh cat of paint. A large lanai thatched with cocoanut leaves which had been
put up for the occasion in one of the
yards, served as a kitchen and dining
carried on from morning to
of all classes and loom.
The meeting, though a short one, and
beliefs. Mr. Timoteo was accompanied
each day by a delegation of workers without an) very notable feature, was
from the Church and Young Peoples undoubtedly a helpful one to the Puako
people. For the time being they were

then- was still an increase of numbers.
Pastor Desha reported that the baseIt nut)' be that some such a work as ment of his parsonage had been nicely
this is needed to be done in other parish- floored and furnished with water faucets,

to be commissioned as regular evange- that he had a new and commodious

own, whom it might be well betimes, $300 debt remaining on it. A note of

weeks, to take out of their particular be given to Miss E. W. Lyons for the
parishes and commission them to act brave and successful push she made as

Monthly Business Meeting.
There were 15 members present, with
Pres. G. P. Castle in the chair.
The Treasurer, A. C. Lovekin, reports receipts for the month $fi05.70;
disbursements $352.65; leaving a balance on hand of $153.05.
The General Secretary, H. W. Peck,
reports a meeting of Committees from
the various Benevolent Societies here,
and also of some of our business men,
in the Y. M. C. A. parlors, at which
arrangements were made for systematically dealing with distress among the
unemployed. The considerable exodus
of mechanics and others has caused a
falling off in the attendance at our meetings but the interest is still maintained.
Over 1,000 newspapers and magazines,
and more that 2,000 tracts, leaflets, etc.,
have been placed aboard the whaling
fleet.
The Visitation Committee, Chairman
J. B. Bid well reports visits to 3 ships,
11 visits to the Hospital, and 13 special
sick calls. There is no serious illness
at present among any of our members.
The Entertainment Committee, Chairman F. J. Lowrey, reports an entertainment on Feb. 23, at which the Hawaiian
Camera Club kindly took part, which
netted the Association just over $150.
Other Committees presented oral reports showing routine work going on
ainment consisted of a stereopticon exhibition under the management of Mr.
Hedemann and several other members
of the Hawaiian Camera Club. Beginning with a fine presentation of the word
"Aloha" they took the audience on a
journey to most of the leading countries
of the world. Many places, long since
renowned in history were shown; among
these mention should be made of scenes
from Rome and the Holy Land. Hawaiian scenery and scenes were also
given a prominent place. Some of the
scenes representing native Hawaiians
caught in grotesque positions by the
"Kodak Fiends," caused much amusement. This part of the entertainment
which reflected much credit upon those
who managed it, was brought to a close
by the presentation of that distinctly
Hawaiian word "Pau." His Honor.
Judge S. li. Dole kindly consented to
announce and explain the different views
as presented. Mr. F. J. Lowrey, chairman of the Entertainment committee
presided during the evening, and had
good reason to congratulate himself not
only upon the success of the entertainment but also upon being able to hand
to the Finance Committee over one
hundred and fifty dollars as the net
receipts.
The following was the program:
Instrumental Duet—The Misses Hopper
Song—Kamehameha Glee Club.
Violin Solo, Ormond Wall. Song,
Miss Young. Vocal Duet, Mrs. A. Y.

Y. M. C. A. Concert.
On February 23, a very successful
M. C. A.
Hall for the benefit of the Association.
The hall which has a seating capacity of
over 300 chairs was crowded, man)' having to stand. This was due not only to
sympathy for the Association hut also to
the excellence of the entertainment provided by the Entertainment Committee
largely through the efforts of its chairman Mr. F. J. Lowrey. The first part
of the programme was musical —vocal
and instrumental. Some of our best local
talent assisted by Mrs. Rice of New
York and Mr. Bennett of San Francisco
furnished the music.
The appreciation of the audience was
shown by the hearty applause given at
the close of each rendition and by several recalls. The second part of the enterconcert was given in the Y.
show a slight
decrease, undoubtedly
caused by the large emigration of Mechanics and laborers, who as a class so
often compose the greater number of the
attendants upon our meetings; still, we
yet have numbers enough to call for all
our most earnest endeavors and zeal in
the carrying forward of our meetings,
and we trust our brethren will not leave
the work to a few willing ones, but sustain us in every possible way.
The attendance at the 6:30 p.m. Sunday Meeting has been as follows:
Feb. 21st 98; 28th 97; March 6th 96;

in addition. Our services are conducted
in 3 and sometimes in 4 languages and
the patient attention of our listeners betokens much interest. The singing is
heartily enjoyed, and the men in the
Corridors and around the yard often become attentive listeners, and are at times
part of the audience; and we hope for
good and permanent results to this work.

Death of a Noted Man of the Past.
In Cambridge, Mass., January 16th,
1892, in his 98th year, Henry Hill of
Braintree. He was born at Newburgh,
N. V., Jan. 10, 1795, soon after which
date his father's family removed to Catskill. In 1809 he became clerk for Hill
& Smith, 100 Wall Street, New York.
In 1815 he went as super-cargo to Paris,
arriving there just after the battle of
Waterloo, and traveled in England as
well as on the Continent. In 1817 he
went on business to Chili and resided in
Valparaiso four years, acting as United
States Consul for Valparaiso and Santiago. In 1821 he married Laura Porter,
daughter of Rev. David Porter D.D., of
Catskill. He was treasurer of the A. B.
C. F. M. from 1822 to 1854, for eleven
years was a member of its Prudential
Committee, and for nine years treasurer
of the American Tract Society, Boston.
In 1865 he married Miss Rhoda Stetson,
of Braintree, who survives him. He
leaves three children -Rev. Geo. E. Hill,
of Haverhill, Mass.; Richard B. Hill, of
Brooklyn, N. V.; and Mrs. Joseph B.
Leake, of Chicago. 111.
His only sister, Mrs. Eliza Hill, widow
of Rev. Rufus Anderson. D.D., preceded
him to the better land three years ago.
His illness was brief, his mind clear
to the last, and his end so peaceful that
••we thought him dying when he slept,
and sleeping when he died."—JV. Y.
Observer.
"It was during the ti easurership of
Mr. Hill, that the branch of the American Board of Foreign Missions placed
upon the Hawaiian Islands imported a
large sum of money which entered into
the circulating medium of the country.
The cause of this action on the part of
the Mission was the high fluctuating
price of exchange. This course was initiated some time in the decade of 1830
and continued until 1850.
"The price of exchange was rarely as
low as seven per cent, usually from ten
to twelve per cent, and was liable oftentimes to run up as high as twenty and
twenty-five per cent. Connected with
and dependent upon the Mission during
this period were sometimes over forty,
rarely less than that number of families.
To avoid the high and shifting price of
exchange, silver coin was packed in
strong oaken sealed Kegs and sent from
Boston by the ships and vessels of C.
Brewer & Co's line.
"Arrived at Honolulu it was originally
iced in the hands of Ladd & Co., and
mmanded the customary interest of
! Kingdom, arrangement being agreed
by them that they would be prepared

experience proved necessary. It was
bsequently placed in the hands ot
ewer & Co. on the same agreement.
by this procedure was reo h minimum of cost, amounting
est on the time of the ship's pasvvav of Cape H..,„. which was
I
Bhange
rarely more than six months, or one half
year at Massachusetts rates of interest'
which is seven per cent, per annum, or
three and a halfper cent, cost of exchange.
"Probably some if not considerable of
this money was in the country until the
coinage of the Kalakaua dollar and the
smaller coins into which it is divided,
and the act of the Legislature debasing
foreign silver coinage other than American swept it out of the Kingdom. Mr.
Hill resigned the treasurership of the
American Board of Missions and the
American Tract Society, Boston, when
he reached the age of seventy years,
giving as a reason, the quotation from
the Psalm of David respecting the age
allotted to humanity. He has been succeeded by James M. Gordon Esq., and
by the present Treasurer Langdon S.
Ward Esq. of Boston."
The above is communicated by a
friend. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were greatly
beloved here in the old days, for their
warm hospitality to the missionaries
when at Boston, as well as for the faithful Treasurer's attention to their orders
for supplies.

PONAPE.
The Star visited Ponape and entertained on board the Spanish Governor.
He expressed himself perfectly willing, personally, to let the American Mission go to
work again; but must wait orders from
headquarters. Cannot President Harri
son put a little pressure upon the Spanish
authorities at Marid? Consul Rand has
not received any exequatur and consequent
ly has not been received as Consul.
Mr. Rand after visiting Ngatik with the
school, finally settled down at Mokil.
Ngatik is too small an islet, and Mokil not
much larger. The exact figures of area
and population are not attainable. What
will he do for water? He has one man
and his wife, and one of the Ponapean
preachers. That constitutes the Ponape
Training School at this time. How long
will he have to wait before Ponape is open
to him again? When will there be any
reimbursement for the wanton destruction
of property? Will the estate of Mr. I >oane
ever realize anything for his loss?
On Ruk, Mr. Snelling is too much confined to the school, and ought to have an
associate at an early day. If it takes as
long as it has done to get an associate for
the N. P. Mission Institute, we may all be
dead before the man arrives. There was
so little time for correspondence that the
news from Ruk is very meagre.. Mrs.
Logan wants more literature, and expected it by the Star. We have heaid nothing
about it in Honolulu. Mrs. Logan says
the manuscripts went on to Boston, and
she was promised the books last year.
Henry Nanpei of Ponape, sent up his oldest boy, Oliver, and according to agree
ment made, he is now a pupil in the Kamehameha Preparatory School, where it is
hoped he will do well. He knows English but does not speak it much. He does
not seem at all homesick.
Wanted, A Hawaiian Bazaar.-Under this heaeling, Mr. Frederick Steams,
a tourist, makes valuable suggestions in
the Advertiser of April 14th, recomending a permanent place for the exhibition
and sale ofnative curios and manufactures, under the direction of an association which would encourage their production, and devise new forms to meet
public taste and demand. A profitable
and useful traffic could unquestionably
be promoted in reviving the manufacture
of the more delicate and elegant forms
of matting, calabashes, and especially of
tapa, the making of which is almost a
lost art. We were lately reminded of
this, by seeing spread on the floor in the
new verandah room of the Hawaiian
Hotel, a coarse lauhala mat, such as
could formerly have been found only in
the huts of the poorest of the people.
Mr. Steams also recommends the maintenance in such a Bazaar of supplies of
our handsome fishes in alcohol, and of
land-shells and ferns.

DEATH OF JUDGE McCULLY.
After a lingering illness, the Hon.
Lawrence McCully passed from this life
at his residence at Pawaa, April 10th, at
the age of nearly 01 years. Horn in X.
Y. City, his early home until manhood
was in Oswego. He graduated at Vale
in 1852, and two years later came to
Honolulu with letters to Judge Lee and
Hon. C. K. Bishop. He served formally
years in important judicial and clerical
functions, and for three years as Interpreter to the Supreme and Police Courts.
In Maw 1860, he was elected Speaker of
the House of Representatives. From
1865 to 1871, be was Clerk of the Sup-reme Court. In 1877, he became Second
Associate Justice of the Court, and on
the promotion of Mr. Judd in 1881, to
the Chief Justiceship, Judge McCully
became First Associate Justice and Vice
Chancellor, which positions he continued
to occupy until his disease. It is to be
said of him as Judge that he contributed
much weight to the Supreme Court of
this Kingdom by bis high personal character, as well as I>\ his great legal erudition and mental ability.
Judge McCully was notable among
our many-cultivated men for his scholarly mental turn, and for bis choice and
facile use of language, He twice visited Europe with his wife, in 1883and 1891,
profiting by travel as few do, through
his highly cultivated intelligence. He
was a facile, graceful, and thoughtful extempore speaker, a fact which made him
a most serviceable representative of the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association at the
great Congregational Conference in London. On his return thence in the latter
part of the year a severe atlack of grippe
in California left effects which developed
into the malady which, after some fluctuations, ended his valued life.
He was married May 26th, 186G, to
Miss Ellen Harvey at the residence ot
Chief Justice Allen. Besides his honored widow, he has left a brother Rev.
Charles G. McCully of Calais, Maine,
who once ministered in Fort St. Church
for a season: also a sister, well known
here, MissAnna McCully of Tokio, Japan.
Judge McCully wits a beloved brother
in the Central Union Church, whosevoice
was greatly welcomed when heard in
prayer or in counsel. He gladly seconded the many and efficient laborsof his wife
among the poor and ignorant oi the city,
among whom she has been foremost in
Carrying the words of life. We venture
to add our own tribute of the warm personal regard which has grown up through
much intercourse since his first arrival
at the Islands in the happy spring-time
of life. Among our most pleasant memories are those of a remarkable night
spent together in 18. )5, at the foot of the
great lava-flow in Hilo.
The funeral services were held at 2:30
P.M. of the 11th at Central Union Church,
Rev. Drs. Beckwith and Hyde officiating,

the latter giving a friendly and loving
sketch of the character and qualities of
the deceased. There was a full attendance of the Court and Government officials, of the Diplomatic and Consular
Corps, Naval officers, the Bar, and prominent citizens. The remains were escorted to Nuuanu Cemetary by the Police
and Military, and a long procession of
friends.
Easter Sunday.-Special Easter services were held in Central Union Church
on April 17th. An Easter Praise service
was held in the evening at Kaumakapili Church. Also at the Portuguese
Church, at 2 p.m. It was prettily decorated. Songs and recitations were given
by the children of the Mission School,
with addresses by Rev. A. Y. Soares and
Dr. N. B. Emerson.
A Popular Biography of Captain Cook.
Oyster Propagation is being attempted by Hon. S. M. Damon at Moanalua
with apparent beginnings of success. A
small native Pearl Oyster used to be
abundant at Pearl Lochs, but through
over fishing and by reason of mud from
the hills, has become nearly or quite extinct. Would not success be most likely
to attend efforts to grow oysters at Pearl
Harbor, where fresh water flows copiously into the sea ?
The title of this little book of 191 pages
'-Captain Cook; by Walter Besant." Itwas published in 1890, by McMillan and
Co. in London and New York. The
author seems to have made use of most of
the available materials, as to Cook's earlier
life. These are extremely scanty. The
strong and heroic navigator rese from the
iowliest beginnings, his father and mother
being Scotch and Yorkshire peasants. He
himself rose from being cabin-boy to mate
of a collier, then A. B. Seaman on a King's
Ship, and ultimately Master and Lieutenant.
He distinguished himself in long
and most able service in surveying the
coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador,
before his three wonderful Exploring voyages in the Antarctic, and Pacific, as well
as Arctic Oceans.
Mr. Besant presents the higher traits of
the great navigator's character in full relief.
He was strong, able, accomplished in the
higher arts of the navigator far beyond his
fellows. He was heroic in high degree,
being untiring and patient in the fulfilment
of the most arduous duties and protracted
labors, and undaunted by obstacles or
painful toils. He was eminently wise and
practical in the conduct of his great work,
as shown for example, in his perfect success in combating the ravages of scurvy.
Notwithstanding much severity of disposition Cook was trusted and venerated by
his officers and men.
Mr. Besant does not disguise, but rather
illustrates at length the Explorer's chief
defect, a violence and imperiousness of
temper which at times led him to extreme
proceedings, and which caused his death.
This serious fault was one which Cook
shared in common with very many of the
world's great heroes. Nor was it one likely to become mitigated or softened in the
course of a life spent from early youth
amid the severities and tyrannies of mari
time and naval life.
Notwithstanding this defect, Captain
Cook was not only a great man, but we
think substantially an honorable and just
man.
His faults were those of his period
and of his profession. His virtues belong
to mankind, and deserve the highest honor.
The circumstances of his death here, have
necessarily brought into prominence his
faults before our minds. But let us not
fill to render due honor to the eminent
virtues of the man whose heroic courage
and patience opened the Pacific and Aus
tralasia to colonization, to commerce and
is,
to
Christian missions.
A Hermit Crab of extraordinary size
and great beauty occupying a noble specimen of Doliitni Perdix shell, was recently exhibited alive in the window of
Hobron, Newman &. Co.'s Drug store,
where he is still to be seen in alcohol.
The ground color of the animal while
alive was bright red, relieved with beautiful markings. It is generally understood that crabs and lobsters turn red
only after cooking.
Rev. W. H. Barnes, late Rector of
St. Andrew's Cathedral, left on the sth
of April, for a post in eastern Canada,
after a residence of many years in Lahaina and Honolulu. He was highly esteemed as an efficient and devoted Christian worker.

the object of vigorous attack from the
pulpit, in discourse! delivered May 15th.
Among the points brought out in the
valuable discussion in the Independent,
is the fact that gambling is preeminently a crime breeder. It is an intensely
fascinating vice, and takes a nearly inextricable grip upon its victims. By its
excitement, it unfits them for patient
diligence in' the ordinary occupations of
life. It generates idleness. It is a tremendous incitement to peculation and

which gambling springs upon its votaries, it drives them to suicide, or to outlawry. So well-known are these tendencies of this vice, that prudent business men will promptly discharge employees who are known to gamble in
any form, as unfit to be trusted.
Another point made prominent is that
the most wide-spread and destructive
form of gambling is found in the "bookmaking" and "pool-selling" of the horse-

races. There seems to be no doubt
that the present increase of the vice is
due, more than to any other cause, to
the immense development of horse-racing. Why the contests of horse flesh
should minister to the gambling spirit
more than yacht and boat races, or base
ball sanies, is a question we need not
here discuss. It is well-known that they
do so, and the reason is not far to seek,
we imagine. Meantime the habit ol
betting rendered so active and inveterate
in tile-horse-race, extends to those other
forms of recreation, and corrupts the
whole.
Numbers of our best citizens, even
earnest Christians, have been in the
habit of attending the races at Kapiolani
Park, as an innocent amusement. We
beg our friends to reconsider their duty,
and not thus to contribute, bytheii pies
ence and influence, to foster the terrible
crime breeder and moral cancer of gambling in Honolulu.
THE TREASON CASES.
Ol k monthly chronicle of events r c. ids
the fact of the arrest of eighteen persons
charged with treason, and of their much
delayed examination for commitment to
be tried. Tnis examination is making slow
progress as we go to press. Enough evidence on the case has transpired, not perhaps to make their commitment a certainty,
hut enough to satisfy the public that an
organized conspiracy was in progress, with
the intention of seizing the government
before the meeting of the Legislature.
The people engaged in it were not formidable, but cpiite the contrary, cither
in numbers, ability, or resources. The
participation, as a leader, of one man
of intelligence seems to imply that he expected some supiiort from parties not directly engaged in the conspiracy. Wilcox
and others concerned have for some time
been using language of increasing violence,
seeking to inflame the minds of the natives.
It can now hardly be doubted that the
did the correct thing to
squelch the affair before it came to a head.
The best time to extinguish a conflagration is while it is being kindled, especially
if any inflammable elements are known to
exist. With our liberal Constitution and

we believe no probability of any further
puerile attempts of that sort.

OBITUARY.
Mks. LUCIA Cr. Lyons
At noon, April 27th, this venerable
missionary mother passed to her eternal
rest, at the great age of 84 years. Eiftyfour of these had been passed in uninterrupted residence in the old mission
home at Waimea, Hawaii. Lucia Garrat Smith was born at Burlington, Otsego Co., N. V., April 17th, 1808. Her
father was for many years a merchant,
and a man of intelligence. With her
elder sister Marcia, who still survives in
America, she sailed from Boston in the
bark Umry Frnzier, Dec. 14th, 1836, in
a company of thirty-two missionaries,
being the largest reinforcement sent to
the Hawaiian Mission. We believe the
only remaining survivors of the thirtytwo still residing here, are the Hon. S.
N. Castle and Mrs. J. M. Cooke. Soon
after their landing, the still young and
very lovely wife of Rev, Lorenzo Lyons
died quite suddenly at Honolulu, May
14th, IS. 17, leaving one child. July 14th,
1838, Miss L. G. Smith was united in
marriage to Mr. Lyons, and nobly filled
the empty place in his home, as a faithful helpmeet and tender, wise and
watchful mother. We well remember
her maiden comeliness, as well as the
mature and cheerful though worn features of her middle age, when her own
three children were growing up in their
retired home, the older son having gone
to college. Mr. Lyons was a tireless
itinerant throughout his large and
then populous mission field, extending
through Hamakua to Waipio, Waimanu,
and Kawaihae, always journeying on
foot. Mrs. Lyons' labors were mainly
at her house, and largely as a teacher.
"Children from many well-known Hawaiian families—laukea, Kamakau, Kalama, Hoapili, John and Isaac Davis,
John Parker, and George Beckley were
among her pupils. Then came her family school for girls which was kept up
until 1879, the mother caring for Hawaiian girls as tenderly as for her own.
In 1887 she resumed for a while her
work as teacher, gathering into her
school of twenty juveniles, children of
people who were born after she had
come to Waimea.—C. M. Hyde."
Mrs. Lyons was always much interested in Natural Science, as we can testify from animated ''iscussions at her
home—and to this is vi part unquestionably due the peculiar scientific bent of
her sons Prof. Curtis J. Lyons, of the
Survey Department, and in charge of
Meteorological work; and Doctor Albert
B. Lyons, Professor of Chemistry in
Oahu College. Her old age became attended by failure of the heart, the immediate cause of death, although she took
to her bed only three days before the
end, during which there was much suffering from difficulty of breathing, until
a season of quiet at the last.
The funeral was conducted by the
During the time in
which he is engaged in this hoommtu
mana the kahu [kceper| must not at his
peril omit at a single meal the regular
prayer addressed to the spirit. At length
the kahu feels a strange supernatural
power resting upon him, enabling him
to see into the mysteries of the spirit
world and to do wonderful things impossible to other men. To increase this
power to a greater degree, he casts a
lock of hair, taken from the deceased,
into the burning lake of Kilauea, and it
becomes a kino inakani a wind body|.
Some of the bones are cast into the sea
to become a shark. A finger nail, thrown
into a body of fresh water, becomes a
moo [lizard], while a bone or two, wrapped in kapn and placed in a recess in the
kahn's house, becomes a most sacred
object of homtinamann.
The kahu is now fully invested with
a power most infernal. The shark in
the sea, the moo on land, and the kino
makani in the air, are his remorselesses
agents to pursue, torment and destroy
his victims.
Should the kahu fail in fulfilling any
of the exacting requirements of his position, this power is turned against him
with sevenfold fury, to his own confu
sion and utter destruction. His fate
and that of his family are sealed, and a
terrible death soon overtakes them.
A far more numerous and varied class
of beings whom the kahuna can summon
to his aid are the Aumakuas. The important distinction between an unihipili
and an numakna is this; the unihipili
is created, as it were, by and becomes
the slave of a single kahuna, who has
the entire responsibility of its feeding
and growth. An aumakua, on the contrary, is in general an ancestral god. It
may have a host of worshippers, and
usually enters into intimate and often
pleasant relations with the clan or the
class that acknowledges it as one of
their gods. Since it is assured ofalways
having a number to give it the required
hooinanamana, it is not driven to desperation, as is an unihipili, by the neglect of a single worshipper. The fiercest
and most universally dreaded of the
aumakuas is Kiha wahine [the moo or
lizard god], represented as a mermaid

tresses, and below the waist a moo.

"THE LESSER HAWAIIAN GODS."
lI'.ti itn t'ointitertaal Advertiser,
April 14, Ixtf ]
It gives us pleasure to place before
our readers this morning a summary of
the lecture delivered by J. S. Emerson,
Esq., at the last meeting of the Hawaiian Historical Society. It was prepared
at our request, by Mr. Emerson himself
and therefore may be depended upon as
reliable. The brief limits of a newspaper report, however, cannot do justice
to Mr. Emerson's paper, and it is therefore a cause for congratulation that the
lecture is to be published in full at an
early day, and "placed in the hands of
every member of the Historical Society.
The subject of Mr. Emerson's lecture
was "The Lesser Hawaiian Gods,"
more especially those who have received
the worship and become the patrons of
individuals and families, and have entered most intimately into their daily
life. These were treated under the two
heads, Unihipili and Aumakua.
Of all the familiar spirits which a kahuna [sorcerer] summons to execute
his wishes, the most dreadful is an
unihipili. To secure an alliance with a
spirit of this class it is necessary to
attend carefully and systematically to a
number of most exacting details. After
the death of a child or the near relative
or intimate friend whose spirit is to be
devoted to this service, the bones and
hair of the deceased are gathered up
into a bundle by the kahuna and secreted in his dwelling-house, where they
become the object of his systematic
hooinanamana [worship]. This worship
rendered to the spirit is not an ascription
of power already possessed by the object
worshipped, but an imparting to it of
power, which but for this worship it
would never have. In short, the god
does not make the kahuna, but the kahuna often makes his god. Little by
little the spirit gains strength and be
the fury of the Hawaiian Pantheon.
Her usual form is that of an ugly and
hateful old hag, with tattered and fire
burned garments, scarcely concealing
the filth and nakedness of her person.
She has a fiendish countenance, a jealous
and vindictive temper and delights in
cruelty. The younger sister, Hiiaka ika
polio Pele, is the especial patron of certain kinds of sorcery and murderous arts.
The chief patron, however, of sorcerers is
Uli. She was a woman who came
from Kahiki and whose great reputation
m the black arts led to her being wor
shipped after death.
�Volume 50, No. 6.]
The chief benefactors and devoted
friends of man among the aumakuas are
the pueo, or owl, and the mono, or shark.
The pueo gives its kali us and faithful
worshippers timely warning of approaching danger, aids the prisoner in untying
the knotted cords with which he is
bound, and in making good his escape.
The shark is perhaps the most universally worshipped of all the aumakuas.
When we reflect on the amphibious
character of the Hawaiians and their
familiarity with, and exposure to, the
dangers of the sea, it is no wonder that
they should propitiate certain sharks
with whom they may not be on friendly
terms.
We cannot in this sketch mention the
numerous other objects which are worshipped as aumakuas by the Hawaiians.
They include a number of fishes and
other marine forms of life, also various
birds and quadrupeds, among the latter,
the hog, dog and rat. Inanimate objects,
too, came in for their share of this very
general hooinanamana, which often degenerates into a gross form of fetich
worship.
But in justice to the Hawaiians we
must say that thefriedly relations which
they maintained with many of their
aumakuas were in pleasing contrast with
the dread with which the Tahitians regarded the malevolent oromatuas.
The great need of the Hawaiians is to
have clearly impressed upon their minds
the fact of the absolute unity of the Godhead—a fact which they have never
sufficiently appreciated, and from which
many of them have departed. The
teaching of the Hawaiian kahunas is
that the decay of the race is the result
of the vengeance of their old time offended deities, fearful of being supplanted by
the white man's God, who was brought
according to their belief, from over the

came into the land as a weakling and a
stranger, but by the worship (hoomana
mana) paid him, has waxed mighty and
destroyed the balance of power in the
Hawaiian pantheon. Hence the revolt.

mous precipices and canyons. We were
so fortunate as to leave Kawaihae in the
steamer Kinau at 2 p.m. which brought
us by half-past four off Pololu gulch,
where the great palis begin. We had a
splendid run, past the Kohala plantations
with their green uplands, stretching from
the low red bluffs to the misty, wooded
mountain top. At Pololu the coast line
bends inward, but Capt. Clark most
kindly consented to alter the ship's
course a little and run nearer the land.
There are about ten miles in length of
this wonderful coast line, of the largest
sea-cliffs in this group. At Waimanu
gulch, the height at the sea is very nearly two thousand feet, and about half
that where this formation ends at Waipio on the south-east. At the Pololu
gulch on the north it is somewhat less
still, but the intermediate precipices and
canyons are of colossal grandeur. Sailing under the long lofty precipice between Honokane and Waimanu valleys,
we counted at one view ten leaping cascades. Honokane valley though less in
depth and breadth than Waimanu,
reaches up wonderfully into the mysterious mountain depths, where the old
Hawaiian gods used to dwell, in the hid
ings of the clouds and the chasms.
The whole mountain is thickly clothed
in verdure from height to base. No
path traverses the dense jungle of the
upland. This Kohala mountain forms
the northern section of Hawaii. It
seems to be composed of an older and
higher mountain mass, and of one of
much more recent formation running
out north-westerly in a long ridge which
terminates at Kohala north point. On
the N.E. slope of this newer ridge lie
the beautiful lands of the Kohala plantations. S.E. of these for ten miles
stretch the dark mysterious, wooded
chasms of the old mountain, hidden in
perpetual cloud, and nearly impenetrable to human feet.
We were fortunate in having the company of the Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, who
is an intelligent questioner of nature.
The reason was warmly debated between
us why this enormous precipice should
thus intervene between the Kohala and
Hamakua bluffs which were of ordinary
height, G. maintaining that a fissure of
the mountain had broken off the part
which had disappeared. The writer as
decidedly contended that it was entirely
due to marine erosion. That is, the
heavy surges driven by the trade winds
had eaten away the mountain. The
immense height of the cliffs was merely
due to the ancient character of the mountain, and the longer period during which
the eroding cause had been at work,
whereas the Hamakua and North Ko-
mense chasm parallel to the shore about
four miles inland. This tremendous
canyon, by reason of its direction, cannot be the effect of atmospheric erosion.
It must have been split open by a convulsion, the like of which must have
broken off the parallel coast line. An
analogous marine precipice may be
traced through South Kona, which cannot possibly be the effect of marine
erosion. The lofty precipice of the coast
south of Kilauea volcano is manifestly
broken off, not eaten away.
We were much impressed by our
brother Gulick's reasoning. Very probably his is the correct theory. Meantime, we hope many others will view
those wonderful palis, and set their
minds at work upon their history.
Two Years of Progress in Hilo.
We had the privilege of being fellow
passenger to Hilo with the Rev. Thos.
L. Gulick, who was bound thither for a
few weeks exchange of pulpits with Rev.
E. P. Baker. Our own stay allowed us
barely one hour to look around, wherefore we are glad to use our good brother
Gulick's eyes in noting matters there, as
given in a letter of his to the /'. C.
Advertiser.
A fine two-story public school building lately finished, with its fine yard and
surroundings is an ornament to the town.
The principal is Mr. Lord, aided by five
lady teachers. There is an especially
good training in the "Tonic Sol Fa"
system. Mr. G. "never heard native
children speak English more perfectly
than in this school." Miss H. Coan
conducts another excellent school.
The Foreign Church have added a
pretty Chapel in rear of the main building, containing Sunday School room,

severely reflects on government inefficiency that with the enormous water
supply running to waste in Hilo, they
have waited until now for this convenience. The same may be said of Wailuku and Lahaina. It must be considerately remembered that our government

elements, and that it is therefore necessarily hampered in its efficiency.

THE OPIUM TRAFFIC.
It seems to be true, as charged, that
a very gross and injurious frustration ol
justice took place lately at Wailuku, in
dismissing a clearly made out case of
smuggling of opium. It is widely believed, although we are far from asserting it, that there is an extensive conspiracy to prevent detection and punishment of smuggling, for the purpose of
helping on a change in the law, which
shall legalize the traffic. The objects of
so doing are no doubt to create additional revenue from the sale of lictnses, and
to create a profitable legal traffic for individuals.
The advocates of this measure —and
they are many —of course deride the
idea of being bound by any moral consideration as to legalizing so destructive
and injurious a traffic. But we mayhope that they will consider its very fatal
effect upon the Hawaiian people. At
the present time, the sale to Hawaiians,
as well as to Chinese, is greatly limited
by the danger of detection, because the
merepossession of the drug is punishable.
Under license, this safeguard is removed,
and 'no law against sale to Hawaiians
or children can possibly be enforced.
The smooth and artful Chinese peddlers
of opium will pervade every native hamlet with the drug, without check, which
now they cannot do.
There are some who do not care howsoon the Hawaiians finish their present
downward course, and cease to exist.
But we trust there are enough left among
our legislators who have compassion and
friendship for the native people, and
will be governed by the desire to save
them.
Charles F. Gurney.—We desire to
join with many in this community in
condoling with the family and relatives
of this most estimable young man, in
his early passing away, while seemingly
achieving a degree of success in business
life, which was most creditable to Mm,
and of great promise for his future. We
are most thankful that those who were
much dependent upon his exertions,
will realize the benefit of his prudence in
the avails of an insurance upon his life.
Mr. George E. Richardson, late
Circuit Judge of Maui, whose death
occurred in March, was a public officer
of worth whose loss is deeply felt by the
community, of whom he was an honored Hawaiian member, as well as by a
large circle of estimable kindred. We
deeply regret to record the subsequent
decease of his widow and of two of his
five children, at their home in Wailuku.
�Volume 50, No. 6.]
An Honored Native Household in
Affliction.
The very sudden death of Mr. Samuel
Mahelona has removed the head of a
beloved Hawaiian household. Mr. M.
had for some years been a book-keeper
with Allen & Robinson, and was a gentleman of the highest character, and a
consistent member, with his wife, of
Kawaiahao Church. Mrs. Mahelona,
prior to their marriage nine years since,
had been greatly valued as an assistant
teacher in Kawaiahao Female Seminary,
as Miss Emma Napoleon. The example of this refined Christian home of
their own people has been one of
most important service and encouragement to Hawaiians, and makes the
death of this young father a public as
well as private loss.
Pacific Coast Commercial Record,
Vol. S, No. 1, May 1892. -This number
contains 22 pages, and is entirely devoted to illustrating the Hawaiian Islands.
There are eight pictures of scenery all of
which are beautifully printed, mostly
photogravures. There are four maps,
and four pictures of fruit, all excellent.
There are also 14 pictures of public and
private buildings, many of them with
beautiful grounds and foliage.
The
and
statistical
of
the
descriptive
portion
work is fairly full and accurate, and has
certainly been edited with much ability.
It is on the whole much the most finely
illustrated article upon these Islands
that has yet been produced. In quantity, it is equal to seven of the articles on
Hawaii in the September number of
Rtvitvi of Reviews.
Just one half of the present production
is occupied with biographies of prominent residents of this Kingdom, gentlemen who have variously contributed towards the labor and expense of the publication. The portraits of about seventy
of these gentlemen are handsomely
printed.
There is no doubt but that this publication will render good service in advertising the Islands. Several thousand
copies are being put in circulation. The
retail price is twenty-five cents.

THE FRIEND.
The Kingdom oi Hawaii is the title
of a pamphlet containing a lecture by
Mr. Theo. H. Davies before the Southport Literary and Philosophical Society,
England. Mr. Davies presented these
Islands in a very effective, and agreeable
manner, accompanying his talk with
nearly ninety screen pictures. As a
sample of humorous embellishment, we
copy the following:
"The new king welcomed the missionaries, and the question arose, ' Were
the new teachers to be allowed to remain
and publish their doctrines?' A grave
difficulty arose at the outset, and the
king explained it to his domestic circle
much as follows: 'My dears, shall these
men stay? because they say that if they
do I must have only one wife, and four
of you must go.' The senior queen,
Kamamalu, immediately responded 'Let
them stay, and you four can go,' which
they accordingly did."
20,000 Australians Coming!
They are coming on their way to the
Columbian Exposition next year. That
is, if boats and fares are made all right.
It is thought that the Canadian Pacific
Railway people are going to do great
things in that way. A powerful line of
"grey hounds" is talked of—it is said
some of them are building. They are
to be titted up solely for passengers, to
carry six or eight hundred each, and
push through from Sydney to Vancouver
in eighteen days.
Now- Honolulu proposes somehow to
tap this stream of tourists, and induce a
portion of them to take a good look at
Hawaii nei, and leave a little money
here. Of course to do this supposes
considerable activity and efficient work
to be expended. The opening of the
harbor bar must be completed, or the big
ships will not call here. The Volcano
roads both ways must be finished and
put in good order, or the tourists will
not largely go there. Hotel and coasting steamers must be put in prime order,
and lastly, there must be a heap of
advertising, because most of the Australians do not know or care where Hawaii

A New Survey of a Cable Route.
The U. S. Survey steamer Thetis arrrived at Honolulu May 20th, after having made 300 soundings on a new line
between Point Conception and Hilo, a
distance of 2060 miles. The new route
is considered to be a better one than the
more northern one adopted by ihtAlbatross, the changes in depth being less
abrupt.
This work of the Thetis is welcome as
fresh evidence of an earnest disposition
on the part of the United States to lay
a cable to our shores at an early date.

Our Japanese Sabbath School has
been greatly favored by tin- help of I) r
Mori who meets with us as often as his
professional duties will allow. We have
thirty-five members enrolled with an
average attendance of fifteen. I'hc work
is promising. [From a letter from the
Rev. Alvin Ostrom, who, besides his
regular work as pastor of the Kohala
Foreign Church, looks alter the Japanese
and Portuguese of his district and also
helps forward the Chinese work.
It is a little over four months since I
came here, and I suppose you will know
that I have not done much in so short a
time; also you will understand how difficult the work is at first. I believe that
the God will surely help him who is trying to work righteousness. Hut I am
only an unworthy hoy and you will pray
for nie. At present I have four meeting
places with fifty friends. I am giving
them Christian instruction and teaching
them English most every night. The
meeting places are at llonokaa Mill, in
the village, at the Overend place, and at
Paauhau. They all seem very kind to
me in every way. They are all laborers
working hard every day, and I have
thought it was needful to give them innocent amusement that would please
their weary souls and bodies, lam trying to find out what is hest. There are
over 2,000 Japanese in this district, and
I tell you now I am just trying to make
some yeast for to rise up this people.
I have always good health and am happy
in every way.

In reporting this church here at Hilo,
I would say, during the last three
months there has been no remarkable
event in it. Since Mr. Okabe left for
Japan we have had some anxiety about
the church, lest its members should
fail. But thanks he to God who can
save to the uttermost, we are all going
steadily toward the gate of Heaven.
Moreover he gave us new brethren who
came to this country lately. Of course
they are all believers in Buddhism, and
have never heard about Christianity.

The work is going on as steadily as
before and growing day by day. In Paia
the attendants on Sunday average about
forty, of which nineteen are hapti/ed.
At Grove Ranch the average is fifteen,
none baptized yet. At Hamakuapoko
it is about thirty, of which ten are baptized.
Since the begining of the year fourbeen baptised and four have
gone hick to Japan and joined the church
there.
Mr. Baldwin j;ave us a house at Hamakuapoko. The class for women (at
as we expected, but

we have some future hope of it. The
money contributions this year amounted
to sixty eight dollars, fifty-eight were
used for benevolent works.

A CASE IN HAND.
In the first week of June 1890, 1). K.
Kahuakai, one of Rev. Jas. Hicknell's
workers went to Hookena, South Kona,
Hawaii, on a visit. While there his
eyes were opened and his heart was
moved in view of the needs of the people
of that region, and especially toward
those of the district of Kalahiki.
They did not come to church. They
were out of sympathy with the pastor,
and they had no religious instruction.
They were npt even possessed of bibles.
Mr. Kahuakai visited them, held meetings with them and ordered for them an
invoice of New Testaments and Hymn
books. 'This work continued under the
guidance of brother Kahuakai, assisted
later by his son in law Mr. T. K. R.
Amain, for nearly three months. As an
outcome of this work a meeting house
has been built at Kalahiki, and a leader
has been found in the ex-Judge T. W. P.
Kaeo, who is now a blind man, but
scholarly and gifted, and by the guidance
of our good brother Kahuakai, he is now
a devout praying man.
An instance is noted of the reclaiming
of one for a time from the power of
superstition.
A woman could not eat of a certain
kind of moss, the Lipeepee, because it
was her aumakua.
Hut on a certain
occasion this woman and her family,
having been labored with, were brought
to a table where this moss was one of the
dishes, and after the asking of a blessing
was prevailed upon to partake of it;
which she did without harm and continued to he an eater of the moss, pronouncing it rich and wholesome.
And now comes back the report that
the woman has lately goi.e back to her
superstitious fear of her aumakua limu
after nearly a year's immunity. It seems
that during a sickness she was visited
by a kahuna, who declared the cause of
her sickness to be her eating of the
tabooed limu. Hut that work remains
which was so kindly and so hopefully
begun. r£x-Judge Kaeo is still leading
it, and the little chapel is seen across
the bay from Hookena.

The diabolical malignity shown by
Pulolo has an irrational look; but it was
merely an unusual form of exercising
the fiendish malice habitual to the regular
kahuna auaaiui. The difference is that
as a rule the)- are secretive in thnir
murderous proceedings, while her murdering took a violent and brutal form.
The system of terrorism upon those
around is alike in both cases. The community, by fear of the deadly demon at
the sorcerer's seivice, are driven to become abettors and participants in the
murders committed. There is good
reason to believe that such murders constitute no small percentage of the causes
of death that are swilling the immense
mortality among Hawaiians.
A Significant Fact is that Pulolo
learned her trade of sorceress during a
residence of some years in this city.
Under the fostering patronage of Royalty
for a little more than thirty yens, Honolulu has grown to be a headquarters of
superstition, and chief seminary of sorcery. This began when Prince Lot's
agent K.tpu issued printed licenses to
about SOO kahunas or native doctors,
with schedules of fees ranging up to fifty
dollars. These kahunas rarely knew
much of real remedies. Their chief
stock in trade was the superstitious fears
of the people, who would hire their incantations to propitiate or exorcise the
evil demons that made them ill. In
order to educate and develop those fears,
they immediately formed private classes
in idolatry and sorcery throughout the
kingdom. Since than this culture of
diabolism has gone steadily on. Fresh
accessions of force were largely made to
it during the late reign.
It has become true that now there are
comparatively few Hawaiians, however
well educated, who do not believe in the
supernatural powers ol the med'cine men
and of the sorcerers, as well as in the
real existence and powers of the Aumakitas and of the multitude of lesser gods
or demons. Upto 1860, the ascendancy
of Christianity had kept the smouldering
ancient superstition repressed and inactive. It has again become rampant.
The Lanai Horror is only an open outbreak of the malignant diabolism that is
terrorizing and poisoning Hawaiian
homes on every street in this city.
There are now very few native households, whose heads in any case of sick-

ness would dare refuse to call in the
kahuna or to obey all his orders. It is
most painful to say that some of our
native pastors do this.. We rejoice to
testify that most of these good men are

pas,, s find themselves hard pressed
be ween their sense of duty and the
tci.ors of their deacons and church members, as well as the fears of their wives,
if not their own, lest the evil gods destroy them and their children.
This ahuna domination paralyzes
the efforts of our skilled physicians to
heal the people. The government employs [physicians at gieat expense, but
most of the people are prevented from
obeying their prescriptions by the orders
of the exorcisers, to whose violent and
destructive treatment they timidly submit. Hence the great monthly death
reports of Hawaiians, with causes of death
very commonly unreported. Hence also
the numerous petitions to the Legislature
to create a Hawaiian Board of Health,
that is, to employ a body of kahunas to
minister to the sick at public expense.
Kalakauadid actually cieate such a Board
of Kahunas, through his Legislature ol
1886. This was one ol several facts, like
the Aki opium bribe, which made necessary the Constitution of IMB7, depriving
theKing of his control of the legislature.
Another and most poisonous effect is
in antagonizing the Hawaiians to civilized ideas and enlightened guidance.
The Kahuna is the deadly enemy ol
Christian civilization, lie and enlightenment are sworn foes, and he does his
utmost to create aversion and jealousy
towards the haole and particularly the
"missionary." He organizes and consolidates the heathen party. Still more,
all the ethics and logic of Kahunaiim
are stupefying and paral) /nig to enlight
ened action of the mind. The niinils
of those poor Awalua wretches were
stifling in the horrible fog and stench of
Pulolo's teaching, So is every mind
that inhales the noisome atmosphere of
Kahuna superstition. They cannot
think reasonably nor entertain sound
opinions.
A Sad evidence of the extent to which
the Hawaiian intellect has become befogged and befouled by kahuna domin
ation, is seen in the heathenish character
of the majority of the petitions from
natives daily presented at this session
of the Legislature. Probably one half
of these petitions call for partially or
wholly doing away with the segregation

petitions are to stop vaccination, to (lis
miss the Board of Health, and to create
a Kahuna Board of Health. This perversion of the native mind creates a
gloomy outlook for the usefulness of
Hawaiian! as participants in the government of the country. We cannot be
governed by Pulolos, nor by people of
any of that turn of mind.
We are strongly hopeful that this
kahuna domination is soon to wane.
The Pulolo outbreak may open the eyes
of the people. Earnest and successful
effort is being made by some nativepastors, and by Mr. Bicknell especially,
to win the people from superstition.
Higher education will help much. But
our only reliable dependance is in the
spiritual power of the living Savior
brought in contact with these suffering
and terrorized souls, and uplifting them
into the higher life of the spirit. As the
piety and spiritual power of Christian
Hawaiian! is invigorated, each one will
become a kindling light, before which
all Puloloism will be dispelled.

Dr. Parkhurst treats with a fine scorn
those people who deprecated his personal
visits to the haunts of vice.
"Christ not only put Heaven away behind him, but he came into the very closest
touch that was possible to him with Ihe
grossest depravity that was on earth. I
can imagine some of the angels, not in the
redemption bus ness, loafing along the
celestial courts as the son of Cod laid
aside his glory and moved down to Bethelhem in Advent, arching their celestial
brows and expostulating with him and rebuking him for venturing into the contacts
of a world over which the Serpent rjad so
long drngged his scaly coils, and suggesting to him to dispatch a second or third

sin-reeking world with instructions to send

men, is this: If you want to be a means of

cannot do it at arm's length."

<
Public exhibition of the work f the six
1 f this school was given May 27th
in the different school rooms. Excellent
work was shown in the usual English
studies.
Specialties shown were a large variety of
samples of free hand and mechanical
drawing by the pupils, ol fine quality.
Many beautiful specimens of Cabinet
and inlaid work were exhibited by the
pupils of Mr. A. Thompson. To our
eyes, many i I these were equal in finish
to the handiwork (if the best mechanic!.
A large line of samples of blacksmiths
and machinists wi rk was also shown. It
is evident that a large number of Kamehameha pupils are being qualified to earn at
once large wages as skilled workers, together with all the physical and mental
superiority which are Required therewith.
The Preparatory Department was exhibited on the morning of the 28th. In
the evening, an invited company of the
patrons and friends gathered in the noble
Bishop Hall, to listen to a Rhetorical and
Musical exhibition of the scholars. This
was of a high ( rder. The Queen was present at this and previous exercises, with
her habitual (hep interest in all educational work.

The Mongooses have cleaned the rats
out of the cane fields. This saves annually many hundred thousand dollars of valuable cane stalks from being gnawed and
spoiled. But now these same mongooses
are massacring the hen-roosts, biting the
necks of the poultry and sucking the
blood. They are also killing the mynahs
and pigeonij These birds are ruining the
pastures by scattering the seeds of lantanas, on whose buries they feed. These
spring up and cover valuable lands with
impenetrable bramble. The same birds,
however, have nearly exterminated the
armies of catt rpillars which used to blacken the country and make farming almost
impossible. Some graziers are clamoring
for a bounty on mynah si a ps. -Some people want to imp rt certain snakes to destroy tic mongooses. Glad we are not on
any h gislative Committee on Agriculture.
We shoula go distracted. Ouess, though,
we should draw the line at the snakes.

The Morning Star sailed for Micronesia June 18th with a large number of
people on board—two American mis
sionaries, three Hawaiian Missionaries
and their wives and eight passengers.
seven of whom are returning Gilbert
Island laborers.
The Star is to touch first at Butaritari
and leave the Hawaiians and Gilbert
Islanders, and then go onto Kusaie and
leave Miss Palmer to be associated with
Miss Hoppin in the Girl's School there,
and then go on to Ruk, by way of Ngatic
and Ponape, and leave Miss Abell with
Miss Kinney of the Ruk Girl's School.
The Hawaiian Brethen of the Gilbert
mission are to have a general meeting
this year.
The location of the new missionaries
is left to them to be settled by the missionaries on the ground in consultation.
It is not known when Mr. VValkup is
to return. Indeed the fact of his return
is supposed to depend on his getting a
boat for touring through the Gilbert field.
The Star will be due in Honolulu May
23, 1893.
The Rev. Jiro Okabe is with us again
after an absence of five months in his
father-land. During his stay abroad he
had the good fortune to meet many of
the Christian workers both Japanese and
foreign. He preached in many different
pulpits and attended the general meeting
of the congregational churches" which
was held in Osaka. He was introduced
as the preacher from Hawaii, and took
occas on to make the country of his birth
acquainted with that of his adoption.
He met the Gulick brothers and was informed that Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Gulick
intend to visit the Islands in the fall.
Mr. Okabe was happy in finding all
the members of his family well and prospering. They are all Christians. One
of the brothers is a graduate of the L)o-shisha Theological Seminary, and isabout
to take an influential pastorate.
By the kindness of his Excellency
Hon. R. W. Irwin of the Hawaiian
Legation at Tokio, who is our Minister
Resident in Japan, Mr. Okabe was enabled to bring with him an associate
worker, a Mr. K. Oku, who was favorably heard last Sabbath by the Japanese
congregation in this city. Mr. Oku has
been 18 years a pastor in Japan. We
have now six men connected with our
Japanese mission, not enough for the
holding of every point, but a band numerous and strong enough we believe for
theconductof a very general work ofevangelization among our 21,000 Japanese.

Revivals and Rev. B. Fay Mills.
RByev.DW
r. olfenden.
There is a class of lukewarm religionists to whom the very name of a revival
is distasteful because they like a comfol table easy going kind of religion, Very
manifestly however the Bible does not
la vor that kind of religion which is neither
cold nor hot, but on the other hand
countenances all such religious movements as are likely to give an impetus
to the cause of God, and intensify religious feeling. There can indeed be no
true Bible religion without revival. It
begins with revival and is maintained by
the continual vivifying operation of the
Spirit of (rod who first begets the new
life in the soul. There may be reformation without revival and with those who
object to revivals we generally find that
the form which the matter takes in their
minds is "Reformation versus Revival."
But reformation is not bible religion,
only revival can claim tube such. Revivals are no new things. They are as
old as religion. There was a time in
the world's infancy when it had already
grown old in sin, in which it is recorded
that there was a turning oil men to God
—"men began to call on the name of
the Lord." This was an ancient revival
of religion. That too was a revival
which took place under the ministry of
Elijah when the great part of Israel had
fallen into idolatry.
He/ekiah too was ■ revivalist who fanned the smouldering embers of religion
into a flame during the latter days of
Judah, and all the prophets nearly were
just revivalists. Isaiah was a man of
the Wesley, Whitfield, Spurgeonic, Moody
and Fay Mills Stamp. \\*hnt was it
again but a revival that brought people
in crowds to hear the Baptist and even
Christ himself, and then Peter at pentecost began a series of revivals which
continue to this day.
Such seasons of special revival seem to
bear the same relation to the ordinary
work of God that comets bear to the
steady shining of the stars—only that as
regards the religious comets—the revivals, we can see the good of them
much more. A season of revival too
bears oftentimes that relation to the
ordinary work, which reaping time bears
to the rest of the year, during which the
process of tilling and sowing is carefully
carried on. Of course we shall be un-
derstood in these remarks as indicating
a real spiritual quickening and not a
passing sensationalism or fitful excitement, dependant upon questionable
methods of activity.
The Rev. B. Pay Mills whom many
here are anxious to secure for this special
work uses no revivalistic galvanism but
adopts and uses simply methods of work
consecrated by the use and wont of
centuries. He is a young man who does
not glory in eccentricities or intellectual
attainments but who nevertheless speaks
from a full heart and well stocked mind
with a simplicity, directness and tend
erness the pure gospe.l so as to arrest
and hold the closest attention of both
the cultured and ignorant. Every one
is impressed with his transparent sincerity, thorough going realism and deep
love for souls. In every place he has
visited, the neighborhood has been speedily charged with influences which flowed
from the Holy Spirit's presence. Immediately there has come a marvellous
unanimity for prayer and service to the
people. Christ of course is the substance
of his message, the motive of his service
and the charm of his utterances.
There is also in Mr. Greenwood's sing
ing (his fellow laborer) a modest simplicity, expressiveness, pathos and power
that sends the truth home to many hearts.

OAHU COLLEGE.
Commencement Exercises.
The Class of '92 were greeted on the
evening of Thursday, June 23d, by an
audience which crowded the aisles and
overflowed the vestibule of Central Union Church, which was packed to its utmost capacity before the hour of 7:30
arrived. The Queen and Court were
present. The floral decorations were
of rare delicacy and beauty. On the
choir rail was a long bank of roses,
shaded from dark red to white, and from
white to yellow, ending in rich orange
plumarias. On the front of the organ
rested a lovely shield of flowers, over it
the class motto, " Xon pro nobis"—
Not for ourselves. Delicate lace-like
drapings of cape jessamine were trained
above and around. Over one end of
the stage was a plume-like mass of
"golden shower"; at the other a large
and delicate spray of lilies and foliage.
Mrs. S. M. Damon had direction of the
decorations, aided by Mesdames H.
Waterhouse, S. C. Allen, and C. A.
Brown ; also by Mr. Bowick and the
members of the Junior Class.
The Trustees sat at the left front of
the platform and teachers at the right,
the graduating class in the center, and
the numerous pupils of the College on
rear of the stage and in the'choir.
The programmeof the evening was as

N. Kaoaokalani Keola.
Ernest Evarti Lyman.

John Waterhouse.
Thh opening prayer by Key. Dr. Hyde
betokened a father's tender and solicitous regard for the young lives now
blossoming out.
The first essay was pronounced with
clear and manly delivery by Ivrnest E.
Lyman, whose musical culture lent fine
tones to his voice. The contrast in conduct and results of a purposeful and a
purposeless life was impressively illustrated, as by one whose own purpose
was established and strong, and who
spoke from hearty experience.
Young Chamberlain's address on
"Capital the Friend of Labor,'' was
thoughtful, and the relations of the two
were set forth in an interesting manner.
The mutual dependence of each was
shown, with especial reference to their
conditions in Hawaii nc-i.
"The Lord is My Shepherd" was
sung by the Girls' Glee Club with feeling and taste.
John Waterhouse followed with a very
lively discussion of the advantages of
Cremation, which was perhaps the first
advocacy of that practice ever heard
publicly in Honolulu. He presented
its sanitary advantages over interment
in a very" telling manner. John ought
to make a good talker and writer.
The next address was by a bright
young Hawaiian whose features betoken
Chinese blood, James N. K. Keola, on
"Education in Hawaii." His delivery
had much of the facile Hawaiian ease
and animation, though still slightlylacking a perfect English enunciation,
which he will gain in due time. His
sketch of the growth and progress of
the good work done here was correct
and impressive. His statement of the
obstacles and struggles which beset the
Hawaiians' road to education were evidently from his own observation and experience.
The audience greatly enjoyed the fine
selection from Haydn's Creation, "The
Heavens are Telling," which was well
rendered by a selected chorus of the
scholars, aided by Miss Dale's inspiring
leading, and by Mrs. Judd on the organ
and Miss Wing on the piano, each in
harmony and sympathy all through.
S. Edward Damon followed with an
address on " The English Speaking
Peoples," passing in rapid review the
glory and mighty sway of the mother
isle —the imperial growth, and developed
English freedom of America, and the
independence of Australia,
vigorous
while a high destiny was anticipated for
Canada. England's unequalled and benificent empire over India's two hundred
millions was noticed. The highest interests and hopes of mankind arc bound
up with this foremost race, whose states
will in the future be confederated. In
this great English family Hawaii is to
bear an honorable part. A grand theme
and forcibly treated.
" The Place for Amusement " was the
next topic, treated by Charles K. Hyde,
who earnestly advocated out door sports
for the benefit of miid and body, and
gave us a good and sensible talk on the
subject. We heartily second his plea
for an organized gymnasium at Punahou with a trained instructor.
The following song was then sung
with enthusiasm by the College Glee
Club, Mr. Woods leading:
MEMORIES OF PUNAHOU.
Glad College hours of richesf meed.
Replete with joy, how swift ye speed!
Bright College days of zest and cheer,
That make the rounded, golden year,
Though quickly flown, your blessings stay
To gladden us through all our way.
Our lives the ripened fruit will grow
Which budded lirst at Punahou.
Though change occur on every hand,
Though sundered far by sea and land.
Nought can our early blessings mar.
The chain of friendship reaches far,
United by a common tie
Of mem'ries dear that will not die.
Lor time will only serve to show
The wealth we gained at Punahou.
Oh, days of promise, rich and rare !
The bull and blue we proudly bear.
The world before us grandly lies,
As forth from summer scenes and skies
Our pathways lead through many a land
Where we may prove life's meaning grand.
And ever onward as we go
Reflect the light of Punahou.
There was a hearty ring on the name
Punahou. The words of the song are
by Mr. P. S. Dodge, and the music by
Miss Dale.
The last regular address was a semipolitical one by Albert F. Judd, Jr., although the name he bore doubtless limited him as to fully stating some well
known facts in the history of recent
constitutional changes. With this exception the progress of Constitutional
Development in Hawaii" was clearly
and forcibly stated, with a manifest appreciation of the marvellous progress
made, and a patriotic love of free and
enlightened government.
A graceful young lady next advanced
and read
pleasant tones a eulogistic
essay on the noble '• Dom Pedro of
Brazil," to whose race Miss Julia Perry
belongs, her father having formerly been
Consul for Portugal. Leaving her essay, the fair speaker then addressed
most suitable and touching farewell
words successively to trustees, teachers,
fellow-students, and classmates.
The presentation of diplomas followed,
President Hosmer addressing his departing students with manifest sympathy
and affegtion, as he wished them the
best blessings apon their now widening
and opening live>. An unusually strong
affection has grown up between Mr.
Hosmer and the members of this class,
and was manifest in the words both of
the President and of the valedictorian,
The farewell words were tenderly
echoed by sweet low tones singing
"God be with you till we meet again,"'
dying faintly away as if waning in a far
distance, and deeply touching many
sympathizing hearts then present.
After the benediction the many patrons and friends thronged the stage
with hearty congratulations, feeling that
the occasion had been one of rare success and of delight to all concerned with
the College. The exercises were un-

usually well arranged and well executed.
The speeches were short and spirited.
They were varied in matter, neatly illustrated, and well " boiled down," so as
to have no tediousness. The directing
hand was evidently a skilled one.
Thechoice of topics evidenced thoughtful habits in the speakers, and thought
directed to solid and practical subjects,
indicating serious work in the classes,
and a love of noble and worthy studies.
These are evidently young men beginning with a clear, practical, and generous outlook on life, its duties, and its
call to high and noble work for mankind.
As we began our story of this Commencement with the floral decorations
we must not fail at the end to mention
the masses of bouquets that were passed
in over the heads of the audience in the
crowded aisles, and laid before each of
the speakers, one of whom had twentysix and another twenty-eight. Many of
these flowers were rich and costly, such
as carnations and violets.
Berger's Royal Band in the gallerylent their inspiring strains at the opening and at the close.
An honorable tribute is due to the
able corps of teachers at Punahou, but
especially to Mr. Hosmer, whose capable incumbency at the head of Oahu
College has given unalloyed satisfaction
to all patrons and friends of that institution, and who has won the hearts of the
students.

The "Nerve" of Missionary Zeal.
Undoubtedly there are several sentiments wh eh conspire to kindle and sustain the ardent devotion to Gospel work
which is necessary for effective service in
missionary labor for the tmevangelized.
There is warm hearted philanthrophy
longing to relieve their miseries and to
elevate them into the happiness which the
prevalence of Christianity produces. There
is zeal for the truth, longing to have
those in error brought into the white light
of Christianity. Tnere is a profound sense
of the eternal ruin of the souls that do
not find life in union with God, kindling
an absorbing eagerness to save as many as
possible of these dying ones, and lead
them into life and immortality through the
Lord Jesus. There is a great enthusiasm
for the kingdom of Christ whose beneficent reign is soon to prevail in all lands,
and which we desire to promote and hasten, for the relief of all human miseries,
and the deliverance of all the captives of
sin and Satan; of all the oppressed and all
the degraded. We are eager to hasten the
day when all men shall live in loving

The Friend.
We do all
these tl ings, we seek all these other things
for His sake. They were dear -they are
now dear to His heart, and therefore for
His dear sake, in sympathy with Him, to
fulfil all His desire, we are eager to gain
all these noble ends. He being ihe renter
and Sun of his follower's love and trust,
their hearts enkindle with all the glowing
luve and hope and /.eal that kindled bis
soul, and they strive to bring all souls to
know and trust and worship Hits, whom
they adore as Savior and Lord.
The one greatest need then of all
Christian hearts in order to fulfil Christ's
command to teach all nation*, is themselves t > come into a closer personal love
and fellowship with their Master. Inspired
by His indwelling love, their activities will
spontaneously reach forth in every direction that His own energy reaches forth;
and filled with his own spirit, they will
have resistless and prevailing power to
reach and turn the souls of mankind to
Him. The day is coming when the whole
church will move under this one effectual
sentiment, and so be nerved to victory.

It was the unique privilege of the
fathers and mothers of many of us to
be present at the birth of a nation, to
assist in the throes of delivery that
brought into the dawn of christian civilisation that fragment of the Polynesian
race that peoples this group of the
North Pacific. It devolved upon them
to swathe the tender limbs of the newhorn, to counsel as to the nutriment
suited to its earliest needs, to direct ita
first tottering footsteps, to give it the
alphabet of learning, to initiate for it
such intellectual, moral and religious
tuition as becomes a candidate for admission into the fraternity of nations.
It was a task beset with difficulties,
imposing large responsibilities, and demanding great earnestness, devotion
and practical wisdom. Tin degree in
which these were possessed may in a
measure be gauged by the success
attained.
To say that they made mistakes is
only to say that they were human, fallible. It has often been laid to the charge
of the missionary fathers, that in their
christian surveillance and tuition of the
infant race they were possessed of too
austere a spirit, that they laid too heavy
a hand upon and checked with too
ascetic a curb, the sports and pastimes
native to the soil and the race, and thus
inflicted a grievous wrong upon these
gladsome, liberty-loving children of
nature. The charge has so often been
reiterated, that the missionary took from
the Hawaiian his pastimes and gave
him no adequate substitutes, that with
many this has come to be an accepted
fact; and although this accusation has
been met with frequent disclaimer and
refutation, it has seemed to me there
yet remains something to he said on
the subject, and that it would not be unprofitable for us to spend a few minutes
in an inquiry as to the causes which
produced that abandonment of the
practice of many of their national sports
which has certainly marker! the late
history of the Hawaiian people.
Many of -the Hawaiian games, as is
well known, were noble sports, worthy
of perpetuation, well fitted to develope
and invigorate the frame and to impart
and maintain a virile courage and endurance that should be cultivated in
every race.
Such was that game in which the
�58
tnaika was bowled over its level course;
such was that exciting and dangerous
sport, in which the players slid down
hill over a prepared course on the papa
holua, while the multitude stood by to
applaud and congratulate the victor;
such also were the kukini, or running
of foot races, the pahee, Of glancing of
heavy darts along a special roadway,
the heenalu, or surf riding, and many
others.
What reasonable account can we give
as to the causes of their disappearance?
The first fact, I would remark, as
brought to light by investigation, is
that there was undoubtedly a declining
interest in these games before the missionary entered on the scene.
The tide of national life, the spirit of
tribal, or chiefis.h emulation, had been
largely diverted from these peaceful
channels, and had found its outlet in
the more absorbing and delirious excitements of war. Inter anna silent
leges, says an old Latin proverb; but
it is equally true that in times of war
the ordinary occupations and gladsome
pastimes which invite communities to
meet in friendly contests lose their zest
and fascination and are interrupted.
The fierce passions begotten by the
wai-spirit crave a stronger stimulus
than sliding down hill, or bowling a
polished disc along a roadway.
The eighteenth was a century of war
and of disturbed political relations in
Hawaii nei, even before Kamehameha
entered upon that career of conquest
which finally made him sovereign of the
group. To ([note from Mr. Pomander:
"It was an era of strife, dynastic
ambitions, internal and external wars on
each island, with all their deteriorating
consequences, of anarchy, depopulation,
social and intellectual degradation, loss
of knowledge, loss of liberty, loss of
arts." ("The Polynesian Race," by A.
Fornander, Vol. 11. p. 05.)
The wars of the ancient Hawaiians
were not defensive wars, to protect the
nation, if so these channel separated islanders might be called, against a foreign
invader, the common enemy of all; nor
were they wars of conquest against
neighboring, but alien, powers; nor did
there enter into the motive of them that
gallant spirit of knight-errantry which
in the middle ages moved the hosts of
western Europe to battle for the sepulchre of our Lord.
Without doing injustice to the noble
qualities of the ancient Hawaiians, which
often made of them magnanimous foes,
the wars of which I have spoken may be
truthfully characterized as wars of dynastic or territorial ambition and of re
prisal, internecine in character, cruelly
regardless of life and fearfully destructive of property -inevitable, no doubt,
under the then existing political and social conditions—to be regarded as a
necessary phase in the growth and development of the whole into a unity and
fitness for higher things.
THE FRIEND.
Take, for instance, the wars of con
quest and ambition waged by Kalaniopuu of Hawaii against Kahekili of Maui,
and later that of Kahekili himself against
his own kinsman, Kabahana, the young
king of Oahu, wars of bitter, unprovoked,
profitless devastation.
The immediate victims of open battle
were at times so numerous as to dam
the course of a mountain stream. Such
was the case at the battle on Maui called
Kapaniwai. The less fortunate prisoners captured alive were often killed without mercy. At the gallant charge made
by the famous Alapa regiment, composed
of eight hundred of Kalaniopuu's young
chiefs in the prime of manhood, at the
outset of his determined and ruthless invasion of Kahekili's Maui kingdom, onlytwo nun escaped alive to tell the story
of the terrible slaughter. Other battles
were equally bloody.
Again the annual four months' festival
of the Makahiki was a most important
factor in keeping alive and preserving
fresh and green the interest and practice
of Hawaii's ancient games. Its influence over their perpetuation may be
fairly likened to that of the Olympic,
Pythian, Nemean or Isthmian assemblies, at which champions from the rival
states of ancient Greece met, with truce
of arms, in friendly contests with each
other. These great events acted as a
spur to the ambition of even- athlete and
contestant in the village games throughout Greece, and when the assemblies at
Klis, at Delphi, at the Corinthian isthmus and elsewhere, went into decay and
died, the local and popular sports of all
Greece at once felt the withdrawal of a
most precious stimulus and they lan-
guished accordingly.
The last celebration of the Mahahiki
festival was in the year 1819, the year
in which the great Kamehameha died.
Following close upon this last important event came the formal abolition of the knpu system, the effect of
which was to unsettle everything. As
has been well said, it was as when the
keystone of an arch is removed. The
whole structure of society, along with
idol-worship and the tabus fell at once
into ruins.
It is hardly necessary to say that the
institutions of the ancient Hawaiians
were all rooted in a common soil of
superstition; religion, tabus, politics,
festivals, games, social customs, morals,
the roots of them all were so inextricably interwoven in one mass, that to
separate and pluck out one root from
this tangle without tearing the others,
was a task apparently beyond the power
of any statesman or reformer to accomplish.
From this point of view we are perhaps able in a measure to sympathize
with the reforming zeal of the pious
Kaahumanu, who a few years later at
the Hale o Kcn.vc in South Kona, consigned to the flames at one fell swoop a
vast collection of relics and antiquities.
August,1892.
She doubtless reasoned, and truly, that
the new wine of christian civilization
must not be entrusted to the old bottles
of heathenism.
'The revolutionary effects of the abolition of the tabus upon social conditions
in Hawaii can hardly be overestimated.
'This unnatural and inhuman system,
begotten of king-craft and priestcraft
had so long plagued and tortured the
people, it stood so prominently forth as
the chief offense, and at the same time
was so clearly recognizable as the key of
the situation, that when the time was
ripe for the blow to be struck, the clear
sighted judgment of the general in
command -a woman—was not at fault
when it selected the tabus as the point
of attack.
'The study of that interesting and
curious institution, the festival of the
Makahiki, the celebration of which began
each year on the third day, Kukahi, of
the Hawaiian lunar month Ikuiva,
corresponding to October, and continued
till sometime in January, Kaelo, brings
clearly into view the fact that through
all the observances of that season,
which was devoted among other objects
to the pursuit ol pleasure, festivity, and
games, there yet appears cropping up at
frequent intervals the oppressive iron
hand of the tabu, interrupting and
marring all spontaneity and naturalness
by its cruel dictations.
'The consideration, therefore, of Hawaiian games as an institution and as
an integral part of the Makahiki festival, which was their foster parent, is
inseparably connectedwith the consideration of the tabus. It is a highly significant fact that the overthrow of the
tabus, the final observance of the Makahiki festival, and the last, formal, public
celebration of Hawaii's Ancient games
occurred in the same year. In order to
emphasize this fact and set the matter
before you in the clearest possible light
let me remind you that,

later, Liholiho is proclaimed King under
the title of Kamehameha II;
3. In October of the same year, on
Kukahi, the third day of the Hawaiian
lunar month Ikuiva, which, you will
please note, was the date fixed for
beginning the annual observance of the
Makahiki festival, Liholiho publicly
breaks kapu and thus fires the train
which overthrows the stronghold of
Hawaiian heathenism and idolatry. I
must repeat that I regard it as in the
highest degree significant that this
particular day—or night rather—of Kukahi in October, which was the one set
apart in the Hawaiian calendar on
which to initiate the observance of the
Makahiki solemnities, and which was
observed as specially tabu, should have
been the very time chosen by Kaahumanu for publicly initiating the revolutionary movement against the tabu
�Volume 50, No. B.]
system. The facts speak for themselves
and show the brave regent, Kaahunianu,
to have possessed first class strategic
ability.
It was the unhappy fortune of Hawaii's ancient games to be too intimate
ly allied by ties of blood relationship
with those twin monsters, the tabu and
idol worship, and when they were destroyed it fared hard with that nobler institution which had many worthy features that one would gladly have seen
perpetuated and rehabilitated in decent
shape if it had been possible.
'The year IK-JO dawned upon Hawaii—
a nation without a religion.
It was fortunate that the Hawaiian
people did not have long to wait for the
dispensation of light that was winging
its way as a new Lono across the waters.
Otherwise the vacuum in Hawaii's social and religious institutions would
surely have been speedily filled with
some growth of error equally pernicious
with that which had been uprooted.
At this crisis, while yet the wounds
had hardly been stanched that were
intlicted at the last battle in defense of
heathenism's altars, appears the mis
sionary.
A foresight, not his own, had cleared
the ground for him of many noxious
growths. Thus favored his work was
peculiarly that of the sower of seed; its
earliest phase was in the highest degree
educational and religious.
With what enthusiasm the people
gave themselves to instruction is matter
of history; how the whole population
crowded the schools that were soon established to possess themselves of the new
learning; how thechiefs, whom the people
had been accustomed to look to as their
natural guides and leaders, by example
and by the whole force of their authority,
urged them to attendance at the extemporized gatherings for study as well as
religious worship. Priest-craft and kahuna craft had for the time retired to
their caves and hiding places; the powerful authority of the alii, the tide of
chiefish influence and popular sentiment
set in strong current away from the old
life, its worship, festivals, public games,
and festivities with all the abuses that
gathered about them.
But there were other influences at
work assisting in this overturning.
As in Europe the invention of gunpowder and firearms drove from the
field of war the armored knight and
sounded the death knell of the institution of chivalry and knight-errantry, so
in Hawaiian warfare, long before the arrival of the missionary, the musket had
already begun to supplant the sling and
spear.
At the battle of Kuamoo, which was
the last stand made by the adherents of
the tabu system, the first blood was from
wounds caused by musket-balls, and the
battle itself was decided not by sling and
spear but by the firearms of civilization.
Kamehameha on Hawaii, like Napo-
59
THE FRIEND.
leon in Europe, was victorious by virtue
of the more effectual artillery.
Let us note that with the retirement
of spear and sling from advantageous
use in battle naturally came discontinuance of their use in friendly contests
and sports.
Again, as white men introduced the
musket, they also introduced playing
cards, and those bits of printed paper
have no doubt assisted in driving out
the ancient games of konkne and puheuelicue. Ever ready to take up with
the newest fad or fashion in play or
gambling, the Hawaiian who had erstwhile staked his tnalo, his wife, his very
bones on his skill with the black and
.vhite pebbles of the konane board, was
quick to lay these aside for those more
fascinating implements of civilization,
dice and playing cards. 'The sport of
surf riding possessed a grand fascination,
and for a time it seemed as if it had the
vitality to hold its own as a national
'There are those living,
pastime.
perhaps some present, who remember
the time when almost the entire population of a village would at certain hours
resort to the sea-side to indulge in, or
to witness, this magnili :ent accomplishment. We cannot but mourn its decline.
But this too has fell the touch of
the new civilization, and to day it is
hard to find a surf-board outside of our
museums and private collections.
Perhaps it should be added in further
explanation, that as the zest of this
sport was enhanced by the fact that
both sex;s engaged in it, when this
practice was found to be discount
enanced by the new molality, it was
felt that the interest in it had largely
departed—and this game too went the
way of its fellows.
The introduction of the horse early in
this century was a novelty that almost
from the first began to be highly appreciated by the Hawaiians. At the very
earliest period when horses had become
Sufficiently numerous, the older as well
as younger generation ol Hawaiians
eagerly availed themselves of the ileetness and endurance of the horse to perform journeys which their ancestors
had made on foot 01 in the canoe.
Even Kamehameha I. in his old age
became a good horseman.
The formal running of foot races,
kukini, once notable events in Hawaiian
games, had probably largely gone out
of vogue before the horse had become
so plenty as to enable each member of a
family to realize that peculiar Hawaiian
ambition to possess his own beast. liut
the decay of this laudable and healthgiving exercise was no doubt in a
measure due to the introduction of the
horse.
As to the decline of the holua,
sliding down hill in order to maintain
that royal sport, not a little labor was
required, to keep in repair the course.
In passing along King street, before
Kamehameha
queried
as to the purpose of that straight roadbed, or causeway running at right
angles to the highway they are travelling, which sweeps down from the
plateau of the hills above till it quite
reaches the plain back of the school.
It is the site of ad ancient liolua course.
It was once a paved and earth-covered
track, strewn with grass and leaves
when ready for use, down which the
long and heavy runners of the holua
sled {piipa holua) travelled with a speed
that must have rivalled that of the
modern tobogan, at the same time imposing on the sled-man a far greater
risk to life and limb than is the case
with any toboganist.
'The bowling of the maika stones was
also practiced on a specially prepared
course.
In order to maintain these two sports,
popular enthusiasm and interest alone
would not suffice.
To this enthusiasm must be added
the patronage and leadership of some
influential and public spirited man of
standing, an alii or chieftain, to take
the initiative anil lead in the matter.

demanded for more practical affairs, in
planting food, making roads, and in
performing many services for the king
among the more arduous of which may
be mentioned that of gathering sandal
wood in the mountain forests from
which great profits were realized. We
must remember that the commercial,
money getting spirit was here in advance of the missionaries, and both king
and chiefs were quick to avail themselves of the energies of the people for
their own emolument. The wants of
the Hawaiian had been few and easily
satisfied. Under the new order of
things a thousand new desires were
kindled even in the hearts of the least
ambitious, so that there was no time or
place for regret or turning back, hardly
lor thought.
(neat social revolutions come as does
the Kingdom of Heaven, without observation. After the sounds of battle at Kuamoo were hushed, the change from the
old to the new order of things was accomplished with no greater outward
signs of commotion than are observed
in the turning of an ocean tide.
And
yet the new life that opened up before
the Hawaiian in the year 1880 was separated from the old, from that of the
time of the dead Kamehameha, by a
gulf as deep and impassable as if an
earthquake had chasmed the earth to its
foundations. His thoughts and musings,

The last thought to enter his head
would have been that of attempting to

games after the manner of the ancient
Makahiki festival.
The gods that presided over those defunct celebrations had gone into perpetual exile in reality only yesterday—as

it must have seemed to the men who
stood on this side the gulf- ages ago.
My answer, then, to the question
what part the early missionaries took in
the death and retirement of Hawaii's
ancient sports and games, is that they
exercised no direct or appreciable in
fluence in the matter whatever. 'They
were for the most part in great ignorance
of many of the institutions that the Hawaiian people had cast off in the wilderness. Their spirit and mood was practical and philanthropic and did not concern
itself with philosophizing. The causes
that had produced Hawaii's great revolution were national and were in operation
years before their arrival on her shores.
The missionaries were not the authors of
Hawaii's century of war; they did not
cause the abolition of her tabus and
idol worship; they did not put a stop to
the Makahiki festival; they did not introduce gunpowder and muskets, playing cards and dice.
Much as the more thoughtful and
judicious among the early missionaries
may at times have regretted the decline of interest and practice of the
nobler of the old Hawaiian sports, they
were utterly powerless to arrest the tendency towards the substitution of imported and foreign games for the worthy
sports and exercises indigenous to the
soil and ra. c.
How little power of control the missionary had over this national movement, which I have shown had its roots
in causes that were operative before his
arrival, may be judged from the fact
that in spite of his declared opposition
to the hula, that relic of heathenism
still survives, and from time to time the
altars of the obscene Laka send forth
their baleful light, as the waning fires
are fed by high patronage at home, or
are replenished by the offerings of pilgrims from abroad.
The change that has passed over this
land is one of great interest from every
point of view. It is not confined to this
archipelago; but is part of a movement
affecting that whole family of Polynes
ian peoples, with one section of which
our lot has been cast. It is characterized not alone by the disappearance of
one set of sports and games and their
replacement by another, but by substitution in nearly every relation of life.

Death of Alexander
J.
Cartwright.
Mr. Cartwright had long been one of
the most prominent citizens of Honolulu, filling a place in business in which
his death leaves a blank such as is not
often made. He was the business con
fidant of many persons, and the trustee
of many estates, a service for which he
was peculiarly fitted. Although in his
73rd year, he had continued in apparently full vigor and activity, his death resulting from a malignant carbuncle.
Mr. Cartwright arrived in Honolulu

although public-spirited and lending

time of his death, he was President of

administered with benevolence and wisdom. He was also the President of
the Honolulu Library, to which he has
been a most munificent contributor,
coming nobly to its relief in a recent

The funeral took place on July 14th,
with exercises at the house, conducted
by the Rev. H. 11. Parker, and at the

People wonder at the prevalence of
idolatry among Hawaiians, and yet the
thing is not strange when it is considered
that man is a dual being. The Hawaiian
idea respecting the causes of disease is
essentially the same as those which were
entertained by people of old, who believed
that sicknesses occasioned by evil spirits.
Hawaiians have been put in possession
of the Bible, ami shown how to save the
soul, but of the laws of health and the
proper care of the body, they have no
knowledge. U .til they are instructed as
to the Causes oldisease, idolatry will ever
prevail among them.
Idolatry as it exists among Hawaiians,
is religion fir the body. The system has
no jurisdiction in spiritual matters. Ii
concerns itself solely with the welfare of
the body. The ills of the soul, it does not
recognize, and therefore kahuna practice
is anlag nistic to Gospel teaching
In this matter of religion, the hotly wars
against the soul. Many a Hawaiian loses
his Christianity under an attack of disease,
wh i is proof against direct temptation.
Believing as Hawaiians do that disease
is the work of evil spirits, the question
with them is, How to expel the spirits
from the bodies of those persons who ire
possessed by them.
A native ado] its one or in re of the
gods belonging In the Hawaiian Pantheon,
and gives out nofce that he is endowed
with power to heal diseases. Thus he sets
up as a kahuna.
Remove from the minds of Hawaiians
the belief that disease is the result of
demoniacal possession, and the kahuna
has no use for his god. 'Take away this
belief, and idolatry will co.ne to an end.
In Hawaii nei, missionary teaching his
been confined chiefly to man's spiritual
nature. Schools ol theology have been
established, but none in which medical
science is taught. Teaching on the i auses
of disease, should go hand in hand with
thht on the origin of evil. As at present,
Hawaiian belief respecting the causes ol
disease, is at variance with medical sc erne.
Shortly after the accession of ttie late
King to the Throne, his wife visited the
island of Hawaii for the purpose of forming

Ewa Plantation.—We learn that the
season's crop of this plantation has
been very exactly 3000 tons, taken off
from a little more than 000 acres, or
nearly five tons to the acre. About one
hundred acres in addition were cut for
planting eleven hundred acres of new
fields, to come off next Winter. The
next crop is estimated at 6000 tons.
Much of the new ground was planted
too late in the season to yield a full
crop, owing to delay in getting the
irrigating pumps to work properly.
The Plains, including Makiki and
Punahou, are by many preferred, as to
climate, above the Nuuanu end of the
city. Their climate is drier and warmer, and better suited to delicate lungs.
For ourselves we greatly prefer the cool

Hditor.
By the death of Rev. S. Waiwaiole on
the 27th of July 1892, the Hawaiian Board
is left without a missionary to the lepers.
It is probable that for the present his work
will be taken up so far as is possible, by
the Rev. J. H. Pallia who is an ex-Hawaiian pastor to lepers, resident at the Leper
Settlement.
Mr. Waiwaiole has proved himself an
energetic and faithful minister a of tne
Gospel to the lepers.
It is one of the pleasant memories we
have of Mr. J. E. Bidwell, that, after a
Wednesday evening service at which Mr.
Okabe had been present and had spok.cn
of his work on Hawaii, he stepped up to
us and said he wished to give the Hawaiian
Board ten dollars for the Japanese mission.
Again our good brother has remembered
us, but alas this time in his last will and
testament, by which he left the Hawaiian
Board $ 250. A like sum, we are to d,
was also left by him fur the Cousins' Society,
At the meeting of the Hawaiian Bt ard
held July 6, 1891, it was voted that the
Foreign Committee be authorized to prepare and forward to the German I iovern
inent a memorial from their Board in
reference to the regulations made by the
German Commissioner at Jaluij, compelling the Star to touch hist at Jaluij to get
permission to land at l'leasant Island. In
view of the above vote the following letter
was sent.
Honolulu H. I. Xov. 2, 1891.
To His Majesty the Emperor of Germany.
Sire:
Far away in the center of the Pacific
Ocean lies a group of islands called the
Gilbert Islands. In the year 1857 the
Gospel was first introduced among them
by American and Hawaiian missionaries.
Native pastors and catech sts have been
trained up, and three of the latter have
been stationed as teachers on l'leasant
Island. This is, like Banaba (Ocean I.),
an isolated island, lying some 250 miles
to the west of the Gilbert Group, and
connected with That group by affinities of
race and language. For this mission field
there is an American Superintendant with
Hawaiian preachers and teachers, supported in whole or in part by the Hawaiian
Board of missions (I'rotestant).
It is the custom of the missionary superintendent of the Gilbert Islands mission to
visit the teachers on Pleasant Island once
a year in the missionary vessel "Morning
Star". Of late years in order to do this
the captain has been required first to go to
Jaluij in the Marshall Islands to secure a permit from the German Commissioner there.
The additional time necessary to do this,
as well as the additional expense interferes
seriously with the successful prosecution
of the missionary work. As the mis-

Mr. Goo Kim's Work in China.
One of the first and most active members of the Chinese Christian Church,
has recently returned from China, after
a year's absence.
He has been re-appointed one of the two Chinese Commercial Agents for the Hawaiian Kingdom. He represents the Hakka element
in our Chinese Community, as the other
Agent, Mr. Wong Kwai, represents the
Punti, or Cantonese portion. Mr. Goo
Kirn gave a very interesting account,
last Sunday morning, in Kaumakapili
Church, of Christian work as he saw it,
in China. Mr. Goo Kirn has done much
himself to maintain and extend the religion of Jesus. At his home, near the
city of Gaintzu (of Kai-ing), in the
Province of Kwang Tung, about 100
miles up the river from Swatow, he has
built a Church and School house, and
supported a pastor and teacher. There
are about twenty members. The pastor
is Chung Wong Fook, connected with
the Basle Mission. Some one visiting
the place took photographs of the Church,
and of Mr. Goo Kirn's residence. There
are '1- scholars in the School. Mr. Goo
Kirn's nephew was recently married in
the Church, and now superintends the
rice plantation for his uncle. About 300
people assembLd to witness the marriage
ceremony, as many as attended the services at the dedication of the Church.
The Church bears on the outside the inscription "Place to worship God." In
the interior, on each side of the pulpit,
are also such inscriptions as in the
Church in this city, the Creed, and the
Decalogue. Mr. Goo Kirn's influence as
an earnest Christian man, has been felt
in Honolulu, during his absence. The

Protestant
Letter From Henry Nanpei.
Worship Suppressed in Ponape.
By the following letter from the very
intelligent "Prince" Henry Nanpei, who
visited Honolulu last year, it is shown that
the ancient intolerance of Catholicism, and
especially of the Spanish type, is reasserting itself in Ponape. The extermination
of Protestantism is what Romanism habitually strives for by force or by baud. It is
folly for Protestants ever to be beguiled
into supposing that Roman Catholic priests
anywhere are tolerant at heart. Let Ponape be another object-lesson ta us.

to offer you my kind and humble thanks
for your kind attention in showing me

at present; there were some rumors awhile

Manila, stayed about two months and returned. The Manila transport is now in

Activity
at the Volcano.
At our visit to Kilauea last April, the
great lire-lake was nine hundred feet in
diameter. It occupied the center of the
great pit of Halemaumau, 2,400 feet
wide. The molten surface was then
sunken forty feet below the new floor of
the pit. This floor was 300 feet below
the rim of Halemaumau. The fire-lake
was then in beautiful ebullition on
many parts of its extensive surface.
Visitors early in July report the lava
to be steadily rising. It has been for
some time running over the 300 foot
floor, the whole of which is somewhat
raised by the overflows. The rim of
the lake is also much built up, giving
the floor a slightly conical form.
Rev. O. P. Emerson, with the rest of
Mr. Guliek's camping party, clambered
down to the lava, and got line coin
specimens from the overflowing streams,
in which they puddled freely with their
sticks.
Mr. Emerson tells of a remarkable
grove of giant koa trees which the campers visited, about seven miles towards
the Fast of Mauna Loa. Some of the
trees were live feet in diameter with
clean lofty stems. From such were
hewn the great canoes of olden time,
dug out with stone adzes, with many
incantations to the gods.

�Legislative Visit to the Lepers.
Per Steamer Watalcalc,
Saturday
evening, July 20, a large party of five
white and seven Hawaiian members ol
the Legislature went to visit the lepers
Ht Kaiaupapa and Kalawao, inspect
then condition, lico then complaints,
etc. They weic- stccompained by three
physicians from the naval ships in port,
by the President of the Board of Health,
and by several other persons. They
landed early Sunday morning, and altei
twelve hours among the lepers, re-embarked for Honolulu, reaching port on
Monday at one in the morning.
Full report* of this visit were made
in the papers. On the evening of Sunday, July 10th, the congregation of
Central Union Church listened for nearly an hour to very interesting statements made by two Trustees of the
Church and members of the Legislature,
of their observations at the Leper Settlement. Mr. Alexander Young is President and Manager of the Honolulu
Iron Works, and Air. W. O. Smith was
Chairman of the Legislative Visiting
Committee. We here give a brief resume of their statements.
Mr. Young gave a quite correct description of the locality. It is a semicircular plain at the base of the great
northern precipice of the island, which
is nearly !i,OOO feet high, am 1 capable of
ascent only at the very di
road up.
This completely isolates the place from
the rest of the island. The plain is
about three miles long and one and a
half wide. The greater part is fertile,
and produces abundantly, but needs
some irrigation, there being a deficiency
of rain for part of the year. It is rather
windy, the N. F. trades sweeping down
the coast. There is a lack of trees, but
otherwise the locality is an attractive
one, and naturally salubrious. It was
always the borne of a dense native population, many of whom still cling to
their old homes.
Mr. Young emphasized the beauty of
the Settlement, as being the prettiest
village he knew ol outside ol Honolulu,
saving the absence of trees. The cottages weic attractive and comfortable.
The people seemed extremely cheerful,
and greeted their visitors with enthusiasm. A very good brass band met
them at the landing with tunes. These

thought that the Committee were the
saddest men on the island that day.
There were hundreds of lepers collected,
in all stages of the disease. Some were
to outward appearance perfectly well,
while others were disfigured beyond recognition.
The quarters for the boys as well as
the girls were found too crowded, compelling too much mingling of the mild
cases with the more serious ones. Additional houses for the boys have been
provided for by the kindness of Mr.

Baldwin, and the government will
doubtless improve the quarters of the
girls. Both Mr. Young and Mr. Smith
spoke in the highest terms of the labors
of the Franciscan Sisters in the Bishop
Home for the girls. They are American ladies of refinement who have cast
in their lot with the lepers.
Mr. Young added some facts in respect to the dam and water-pipes from

necessity of strict segregation of the

confined to figures. Segregation was
begun in 1848, with an Asylum near
Honolulu. In 1860, the present settle
ment was adopted; 4557 lepers have
been sent there, over three fifths ol
them males. There are now 1115 afflicted ones there, of whom 19 are whites,
and 28 Chinese. During the last two
years 372 have been sent to the settlement, and 366 have died there, an
annual mortality of 16 percent. One
tenth of the active revenue of the Kingdom is expended upon the lepers. The
cost of their segregation and maintenance for the last two years was $240-000, or about $63 per annum for each
person.
The various complaints made by the
lepers were made in a very reasonable
and impressive manner and deserved
. rious consideration. Both these members of the committee had manifestly
had their feelings of sympathy and com

Nothing in connection with this pitiful blight (not scourge, which implies
acute suffering) upon the Hawaiian
people is sadder than the total indifference of most of them to the disease,
and their utter carelessness as to precautions against it. F'rom the recent
biennial Report of the Board of Health
we cull the following two remarkable
statements in illustration.
The government physician at Kau,
C. B. Cooper writes: "I have seen
considerable of the manner of living
during the past few weeks of my inspection of suspects, and was told by a
party who I think is responsible, that
one of the suspects, a sure case, was
seen sitting in a circle of natives all
chewing ava root and ejecting it into
the same bowl, to be drunk subsequently. Now if this be true, how can it be
possible that all the others of the party
may escape being infected with the
disease ? The natives seem to have
absolutely no fear of leprosy from contagion, and look upon segregation as an
infringement on their rights and seem
to consider the Board of Health as their
deadliest enemies, instead of as those
who desire to give them the only possible chance to preserve their race."
It has been proved that the bacilli of
leprosy have their chief home in the
secretions of the mouth, and hence the
mouth and nose are the chief seats of
contagion. We have repeatedly seen
the pipe passed from the leper to the
healthy person. We have seen healthy
and leprous school children fondling
each other. Throughout the Pacific
Ocean, the narcotic root awa, or kava,
is prepared as above described, the collected fibres and saliva being subsequently diluted with water, strained, and
drank. Fven white men of coaiser
grain, often participate, deserving to
contract whatever disease may be thus
communicated.
Dr. S. B. Swift, the able resident
physician at Kalawao for several years,
writes as follows:
"Let me state that I can at any time
get 20 or 25 kokuas (healthy helpers) to
submit to inoculation with a view of
contracting the disease, to the end that

they may be endowed with the privilegea
and supplied with the rations of the regular leper."
"Let it be understood (for I can prove
it) that to be a leper is a desideratum, if
not on the tiutside, it is so at this settlement."

A Lottery Bill has been introduced
into the House. It was kept dark till
near the close of a long session, when it
was hoped that many of the native members, having expended their $250 of pay,
would be more ready to accept the heavy
bribes which the promoteis of the scheme
are prepared to pay. Our knowledge of
Hawaii gives us confidence that it will re"
reive the scornful rejection which it deserves.
America with many convulsive struggles,
has lately cast out this noxious thing from
her borders. It now seeks a lodgement
in Hawaii, whence it may continue its
robbery of the people of the States. This
outcast felon is anxious to pay us a large
sum, $500,000 a year, to give it foothold.
The proposal is felt by all thinking and
honorable men tc be insulting and indecent. Hawaii is not going to swallow
what America has just spewed out, not
even if all our debts and all our taxes were
to
be paid thereby.
Public expectation had grown listless
in waiting for the long promised vote of
Want of Confidence. It tame at last
very suddenly. The Resolution was present'd by Hon. W. C. Wilder on the 30th
uit. and passed the same evening by a
vote of 31 to 10. The Cabinet resigned
the next morning. Their successors have
not yet been appointed We here express
no opinion as to the justice of the charges
which were embodied in the resolution, of
general inefficiency and incompetency.
The country certainly needs a strong and
capable Cabinet to cope with our present
financial difficulties.
Of the other charge that "the administration of the Police Department has caused
public scandal," there is no doubt of the
hardest kind of scandal, whether or not the
Marshal is actually in fault, which he strenuously denies. Most of the community
have learned to believe, whether true or
not, that his corrupt collusion with gamblers and opium smugglers has caused the
late immense increase in these evil prac
tices. It seems only fair to him to say
that much of the animosity against him
felt by certain parties is due to his activity
in arresting suspects at the time of the
late commitments for treason.
The appointment of a new AttorneyGeneral believed to favor Marshal Wilson,
was the immediate inciting cause of the
overthrow of the Ministry so suddenly, as
it secured the support of the Liberals or
Wilcox faction to that measure. Much
irritation was also caused by the introduction of the Lottery Bill which the Cabinet
were suspected of favoring. Altogether the
Legislature was stirred up to united action,
and out the Ministers went.
Who will constitute the new Cabinet, or
what its political complexion, is hard to
guess. Few capable men are willing to
take such office with little assurance of
support either from any strong party or
from the Queen. The prospect is not
the best for our getting an able Cabinet. We
will hope that able and patriotic men may
be induced to serve. The country needs

The Gilbert Islands Under the British
Flag.
The Daily Bulletin states that on May
27th the British flag was hoisted at Butaritari by Capt. Davis of H. B. M. S,
Royalist, and a formal protectorate declared in the name of Queen Victoria.
It is said to be Capt. Davis' intention to
remove all firearms from the natives
throughout the group. We may here re.
fer to Missionary Walkup's personal influence last year in Tarawa, inducing
both the contending parties to surrender
their rifles, which he sunk in deep water.
If the British will establish good government in all the Gilbert Islands, it will be
a great boon to the Christian civilization
now struggling there for development.
The Conversion of the Pundita Ramabai.
This distinguished and learned Hindu
widow had allied herself with American
Unitarians, and was most benevolently
commissioned by them to establish a school
for Hindu widows, but was forbidden by
her Unitarian patrons to speak to those
widows upon the subject of Christ or
Christianity. The Pundita attended Rev
Dr. Pentecost's services in Poona not miss.
ing a meeting for six weeks. One evening
in a testimony meeting, she surprised every.
body by standing up and bearing testimony
to the goodness and grace of God. In a
subsequent letter to Dr. Pentecost she
stated that up to that time she had not
had peace of soul, but at such and such a
night at the meeting she was led to see
that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and
that his death was for the expiation of
human sin. She had cast herself on him
as her Savior, and since then peace had
ruled in her soul.
Fighting at Ponape.—Word comes
through the Sydney papers that four Span,
ish gunboats attacked the insurgents at
Ponape, and in the attempt to land their
forces were repulsed with heavy loss, the
natives shooting from behind trees with
Winchester rifles. The only surviving
Protestant missionary, Mr. Rand, has not
been on Ponape for some years. This
fact does not prevent the Spaniards from
charging the missionaries with fomenting
rebellion, as it would seem from the Sydney
papers.

THE FRIEND
Letter from Rev. Arthur H. Smith.
Pang Cluiang, Shantung, China,
•
July 2nd. 1892
My Dear Mr. Bishop:
It is not ipiiie a year since I smt you
my last letter, to whit h you replied
some time during the winter. I sent yon
a postal mentioning that 1 had not for a
long time had the pleasure of seeing The
Friknh, and now, a mail or two ago, I received a 1 ill of 13 copies, together with a
Bulletin, g'ving act urate information as to
the prest 1 condition of the volcano, about
which I have for a long time been able to
learn nothing.
Please accept my thanks for this remembrance of a chance visitor, who will
ever cherish ihe recollection of a visit to
Hawaii as ,i precious treasure. According
to
n,
"The in vi who has a thousand friends
Han not a friend to spare;
and though I have never had the privilege of owning so many at once, I can
readily believe the statement. On the
long journey by (he Grand Canal from
Tientsin here, I took pleasure in studying
up all that I was able to learn through the
back numbers which you have kindly f ■_■■
warded, now I feel comparatively well informed ! We have been much interested
in hearing of the way in which you have
dealt with the many difficult problems
forced upon you by the development of
the work for the Japanese, for the Portuguese, as well as that for the Chinese.
The political relations of your Island King
dom are likely to attract increasing attention in the future, and though prophecy is
'a lost art' it is certainly safe to forecast
that whatever may come, the children of
fathers who have done so much for the
Hawaiians, and for all the best interests
of the varied population, will not be
wanting in anything which will enable
them to promote tint righteousness
by which alone the nation is exalted. Unless it might be among the Huguenots,
or among some of the Pilgrim Fathers,
I do not know of a company of Christians of equal numbers, whose work for
two generations and for three, can be
compared with that of jhe missionaries to
the "Sandwich Islands."
The past year has been one of unrest in
China, and it is difficult to know exactly
what is the present condition of affairs.
The riots of last year have had no succes
sors, for the outbreak in Manchuria last
winter had not the smallest connection
with foreigners, and was altogether sup
pressed in a very short time. Recent at
tacks upon missionaries in the Ftikien province, do not appear to be due to any
impetus derived from without, but it is
clear that there is a feeling of great disquiet in many parts of the empire. The
trouble with the province of Honan, which
s intensely anti-foreign, appears to be almost in the same condition as a year ago.
While the imperial proclamations in regard
to Christianity have been posted there, as
September.1892.

At the ripe age of

We have as yet seen no definite statement

Meantime, we would ask, why it would
not be equally suitable to arrange a Congress of medical systems, in which not
only Allopaths, Homoeopaths, Hydropaths, Keely Curists, Mind Curists, etc.,
should unite in a friendly interchange of
opinions, but where should appear also representatives of Chinese, Hindoo, Arab

We suspect that our esteemed friend Dr.

before consenting to participate in such a

In studying the regular S. S. lesson of
August 21st, we were deeply impressed
with the powerful way in which the leading truths of the Gospel were packed into
a small compass by the apostle Peter, as
with words given him by the Holy Ghi st
according to his Lord's promise, he made
answer to the Jewish Sanhedrim for himself and his colleagues. In the space of
sixty words we find not less than eleven
prominent doctrines of the Christian faith
distinctly affirmed.
"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus,
whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. Him
did God exalt al his right hand to be a
Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance
to Israel and remission of sins. And we
are witnesses of these things; and so is the
Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to
them that obey him." Acts v: 30-32.
1. God is the God of the fathers of
Israel, the God of the Old Testament.
2.
Jesus was crucified and slain by
the Jews.
3. God raised up Jesus from the dead.
4. He exalted him to the highest place
in the heaven "at his right hand."
5. He ordained him Prince over
Israel, the King of the promised kingdom.
6. (iod made Jesus the Savior from sin.
7. He gives through this crucified and
risen Savior, Repentance —the turning
from sin and heartily renouncing and forsaking of sin.
8. Through this Savior God gives
also the Remission of sins—the pardon
and forgiveness of guilt; full reconciliation
with and acceptance by the wronged and
forsaken Father.
9. Peter and the other apostles were officially the witnesses of the foregoing facts,
which they solemnly attested to be true.
10. The chief and Supreme Witness of
the truths which the apostles attested was
the Holy Ghast, who was daily confirming
their testimony by signs and miracles, and
by speaking through their lips.
11. Under the new dispensation, the
Holy Ghost was given in manifest power
to all yielding and obedient hearers of the
Gospel.
In the above analysis of Peter's brief
creed declared to the Supreme Court of
Israel, we have used explanatory words,
to call attention only to what must have
been the sense in which Peter used the
terms whj.ch he did. We have added
nothing by way of gloss, or of inference,
although many additional d < trines might
be found involved in the language used
and the facts attested to.
Being a declaration of facts made for a
special occasion, this Creed of Peter's
cannot be credited with symmetrical completeness. Yet it is a creed of great
power. One who holds, heartily and obediently to all these truths is a Christian in
the fullest sense.
Every one of these eleven facts is of the
greatest importance and value to every
human soul. Blessed are those who believe
a ll these things, and obey accordingly.

welcome to send than The Friend, as
a monthly remembrancer of their aloha,

the only record of moral and religious
progress in the North Pacific Ocean.
In this one claim only this font nal is entitled to the largest support possible by the

additional value to home and foreign
readers for handy reference.

The Lottery Bill.
The discussion of this evil proposition
in llie Legislature was postponed by
the Cabinet complications. It will probably come up at an early date. Meantime the delay has given opportunity for
a vigorous and very united expression
of public opinion against the iniquity.
None of our English daily papers have
supported it, and we believe none of the
Hawaiian. A great deal of forcible writing has denounced the Lottery in the
papers. The communications in its
favor have been few. The Anglican
Church Chronicle and the Diocesan,
which represent the Anglican sentiment,
have contained strong and intelligent
articles against it. Pungently worded
leaflets denouncing and exposing its iniquity \rec\iz been circulated among Hawaiians.
Memorials and petitions against the
Lottery have poured in from all parts of
the Islands. The Ladies' memorial to
the Queen is elsewhere reported. The
Chamber of Commerce has protested
against it. A large petition from the
great body of our business men has gone
to the Legislature against it.
On the other side, it is said that a
considerable proportion of the natives
favor the Lottery. This is probably true
in the Chinese clte-fa lotteries, which
through police connivance were, not long
ago, so active in absorbing the people's
earnings as to cause a falling off of 20
per cent, in the daily sales of beef. It
is also reported, as we grieve to say, that
a large number of our intelligent white
mechanics favor the lottery, believing
that the -$500,000 annual subsidies prom
ised will give them much needed employment. We are sure that this is a
delusion, and that the general poverty
and misery which attend lottery gambling would vastly enhance the hard
times.
We are still not without some apprehension as to the action of the Legislature. Although the organization proposing the Lottery has been denounced
as a sham and a "fake," there is good
reason to believe that they have a large
sum of money in hand and are diligently
"putting it where it will do the most
good."
Unpleasant reports have been in circulation about the attitude of the Palace
and of the Cabinet towards the Lottery.
We trust the event will prove them untrue. We believe that while the Queen
may possibly at the outset have been
misled by interested parties, she will
have become enlightened on the subject,
and will act worthily.
A New Cabinet.
After twelve days delay, a Cabinet was
appointed by the Queen. Their names
appear in our monthly record of events.
They are well known public men. The
new Cabinet is generally estimated as
showing a material advance in ability
over the former one. Mr. Neumann's
appointment as Attorney-General had
precipitated the removal of the last
Cabinet. His reappointment to this one
was regarded as a defiance of the House
by the Palace, and a heated struggle
ensued, but the Resolution of Want of
Confidence failed by one vote, and the
Palace scored a victory. The business
of the House which had been suspended
for over two weeks, was actively resumed
of the multitude who have participated on the 19th.

The Friend
think the Queen makes
I great mistake, we honestly sympathize
with her painful anxiety to hold on to
the men whom she supposes to be the
main-stay of the throne against conspirators and annexationists. It is this feeling that makes her cling to Messrs.
Wilson and Neumann, and led her to
treat the continuance of the latter as
a tint qua non. We are certain that a
far higher and safer policy for her Majesty would be to choose the best and
most honorable men for her advisers,
and loyally trust herself to their fidelity.
In 41 period of change and transition such
as the present is manifestly growing to
be, her only security and honor lie in
having over her government men who
have earned the public confidence. Such
men would not betray her trust, and
they would draw towards her that esteem
and sympathy which a Sovereign always
needs.
The new Cabinet are understood to
be vigorously cutting down the Appropriation Bill in view of the great shrinkage of public revenue, a most needful
course of action.

KEA.—XPWMTSCDIEUNOFKASHENUMMIT.
(Abridged from the account given by Professor W. D. Alex.
anilii
ii,
the Pacific Commercial Advertiser.J
The excellent results of Mr. E. D.
Preston's work on Haleakala in 1887
led the American Academy of Sciences
to recommend that a similar series of
observations,should be made on Mauna
Kea. The U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey granted Mr. Preston leave of absence for the purpose, and lent the necessary instruments, while the trustees
of the Bache fund applied its income to
the same object. The Hawaiian Government Survey also contributed assistance, in consideration of the value of the
the magnetic and latitude work.
Mr. Preston had been engaged at
Waikiki for an entire year in cooperating with Dr. A. Marcuse of the Berlin
observatory in a series of delicate latitude observations. This "most important work having been satisfactorily completed, Mr. Preston entered upon the
task of making a complete series of
pendulum, latitude .and magnetic observations at the sea level, on the side of
Maunakea, and again at its summit; one
important object being to determine its
specific gravity, and as it were to weigh
the mountain. The stations occupied
were to be carefully connected with the
triangulation of the GovernmentSurvey.
The party left Honolulu for Kawaihae
June 25th, consisting of Mr. E U. Preston, astronomer, Mr. W. E. Wall, his
assistant, Surveyor-General W. 1). Alexander as surveyor and quarter-master,
with Messrs. W. W. Chamberlain and
Louis Koch. The first station occupied
was in the village of Kawaihae, near the
sea. The next station was on the windswept plain of Waimea 2000 feet above
the sea, on the north of the mountain.
From Waimea our freight was carted
thirty-five miles half-way around the
mountain to the Kalaieha sheep station,
which we made our base of operatious
in attacking the mountain.
A wagon road made by the owners of
the Humuula Sheep Ranch leads from
Waimea around the western and southern sides of Mauna Kea. On the western side of the mountain it passes through
a region which only needs more rainfall
to make it a superb grazing country.
The ancient forests here, as at Waimea,
have been nearly exterminated, but a
fine grove of mamane trees still survives
at the Auwaiakeakua Ranch. The manienie grass is gradually spreading and
will in time add immensely to the value
of the land. At the half-way station,
called Waikiki, water tanks and a rest
house have been provided for teamsters.
After turning the corner we skirted the
desolate plain studded with volcanic
cones that lie between the giant mountains of Hawaii, riding through loose
volcanic sand amid clouds of dust. Oc-
casional flocks of quails or pigeons were
the only living creatures to be seen.
At length the vegetation began to be
more dense, the patches of piipii grass
and the groves of the beautiful and useful mamane or sophora tree more frequent, as we approached the Hilo district. Barbed wire fences showed that
we were approaching civilization, and at
last we came in sight of the Kalaieha
Sheep Station with its neat buildings,
its water tanks and telephone lines, and
general air of thrift, all testifying to the
energy and foresight of its manager, A.
Hantberg, P2sq.
Nearly every afternoon this region is
enveloped in dense fog which pours in
from the east, driven by the trade wind.
At night, during our stay, the thermometer generally fell below 40 deg. Fahr.,
and frost is not uncommon. The elevation, according to the barometer, is about
6700 feet.
Here Mr. Preston established an astronomical and pendulum station, and
made a complete series of observations,
as at Kawaihae, while surveys were made
to connect it with the primary triangulation The party was then joined by
Mr. E. I). Baldwin, from Hilo, who
brought two pack animals and a muleteer, and by Mr. J.J. Muir, from Mana.
Mr. Baldwin had visited the summit in
1890, and had afterwards made a valuable map of the central part of Hawaii
The first start for the summit was
made on the morning of July 19th, but
an ambitious mule, which had the honor
of carrying the magnetic instruments,
ran away in the thick fog, and was not
found till 3 p.m., after six hours of
searching. Fortunately no harm had
been done to the instruments.
The next morning the thermometer
stood at 35 deg. Fahr. The fog cleared
early, and a finer day for the ascent
could not be imagined. Mr. Haneberg
now took command of the pack train,
and had the caravan loaded and set in
motion by 7:45 a.m., the guide riding in
front, followed by eleven pack mules
and as many men on horseback. One
sturdy brute carried the pendulum receiver, weighing about one hundred
pounds, on one side, balanced by bags
of cement on the other.
After riding nearly two miles due east
from the ranch, we turned to the north,
gradually ascending through a belt of
country thickly covered with groves of
mamane.
We crossed a shallow crater just east
of a conspicious peak called "Ka lepe
a moa," or cock's comb, and began to
ascend the mountain proper. After
climbing a steep ridge through loose
scoria and sand, the party halted for
lunch at an elevation of 10,500 feet.
The upper limit of the mamane tree is
not far from 10,000 feet. The Raillardia, apiipii, extends a thousand feet higher. The beautiful Silver Sword (Argyroxiphium), once so abundant, is nearly
[October, 1892.
extinct, except in the most rugged and
inaccessible localities.
The trail next turned to the east,
winding around an immense sand crater
called "Keonehehee," 11,600 feet in
elevation, which stands at the edge of
the summit plateau. Further to the
southeast we were shown a pillar of
stones which was raised to commemorate Queen Emma's journey over the
mountain to Waimea in 1883.
The summit plateau which is perhaps
five miles in width, gradually slopes up
from all sides towards the central group
of hills. It is studded with cones (most
of which contain craters), composed of
light scoria, like those in the crater of
Haleakala. The surface of the plateau
is strewn with blocks of light colored,
fine grained, feldspathic lava, interspersed with patches of black sand.
The rarity of the air was now felt by
both men and animals, and it required
forcible arguments to make the laggards
keep up with the column. At last about
3 p.m., we clambered over the rim of a
low crater west of the central cones, and
saw before us the famous lakelet of
Waiau, near which we camped. It is
an oval sheet of the purest water, an
acre and three quarters in extent, surrounded by an encircling ridge from 90
to 135 feet in height, except at the northwest corner, where there is an outlet,
which was only two feet above the level
of the lake at the time of our visit. The
overflow has worn out a deep ravine,
which runs first to west and then to the
southwest. A spring on the southern
side of the mountain, called "Wai Hu,' 1
is believed by the natives to be connected with this lake. The elevation of
Waiau is at least 13,050 feet, which is
600 feet higher than Fujiyama. There
are few bodies of water in the world
higher than this, except in Thibet or on
the plateau of Pamir. No fish are found
in its waters, nor do any water-fowl
frequent its margins. Its depth was
not sounded, as it was proved by experiment that we had not adequate means
for navigating it. Small tufts of grass
and delicate ferns were found growing
among the rocks around the lake.
After the pack train had been photographed, the large tent was pitched close
to the shore of Waiau, and all the
animals were sent back to the ranch
except one unfortunate mule, which was
treated to a feed of oats and blanketed
for the night.
All of the party were more or less
affected by shortness of breath, but two
of them had a severe attack of mountain
sickness before supper. After suffering
extremely for thirty-six hours without
any signs of improvement, they returned
to Kalaieha on the 22d, leaving five persons in the camp, taking the mule with
them. The writer was hors dc combat
the day after the ascent with an old
fashioned sick headache, but had no
further trouble from that cause.
�Volume 50, No. 10.]
During each of the six nights which
we spent on the summit the temperature
fell much below the freezing point,
registering 25 deg., 18 deg., 14 deg., and
even 13 deg. Fahr., and considerable ice
formed around the margin of the lake.
During the day the maximum of the
thermometer in the shade was generally
between 60 deg. and 63 deg., but when
exposed to the sun on the rocks it rose
to 108 deg. The hygrometer indicated
an exceptionally dry atmosphere.
A solid pier of masonry was built for
the meridian circle, and a flat rock
moved into position to serve as a stand
for the pendulum apparatus. Such was
the clearness of the air that star observations were usually commenced before
5 p.m. Contrary to expectation we
found the trade-wind blowing as strong
on the summit as itdid belowat Kalaieha.
Of Mr. Preston's work it may briefly
be said that it was entirely successful.
The opportunity was great and he made
the most of it. Complete series of magnetic, latitude and pendulum observations were made, besides the observations of the barometer and thermometer,
and a large number of interesting photographs were taken from different points
of view. In the meantime a topographical survey was made of the summit
plateau, in which Mr. J. J. Muir's assistance was most opportune and valuable. On the 2*2da short base line was
measured with a steel tape and a minute
survey made of the lake and its neighborhood. On the same day two of our
men came up with two pack mules,
bringing the Honolulu mail, a load of
fire-wood and some fresh provisions.
The next day, the 23d, Mr. Muir and
the writer together with the guide ascended the central hill, about a mile and
a half from our camp and 800 feet higher. It encloses two small craters. The
scramble up that huge pile of cinders in
the rarefied air is a severe strain on
weak lungs. The pulse rose in one
case to 120, and in another to 150 per
minute. The old trig, station, .which
had formerly been sighted to from several points below, was now occupied
with an instrument for the first time.
The difference of height between this
station and the next summit was found
by levelling to be about 45 feet, as it
had been estimated in 1872. The highest point is probably not less than 13,-820 feet above the sea.
The view from the summit was sublime beyond description, embracing, as
it did, the three other great mountains
of Hawaii, and the grand old "House
of the Sun," 75 miles distant, looming
up clear and distinct, above a belt of
clouds. Miuna Loa was perceptibly
a trifle loujr than the point where we
stood. Without casting up any loose
heaps of sand and scoria, its majestic
dome has risen within 150 feet of the
highest point reached by its rival. Its
surface was streaked by numerous recent
lava streams, while a deep cleft, which

THE FRIEND.
breaks the smooth curve, gave us a
glimpse into the vast terminal crater of
Mokuaweoweo.
On the windward side of the summit
ridge and in the craters were several
large patches of snow, two or three feet
thick, composed of large crystals, like
coarse salt. While eating our lunch on
the summit, we were surprised to see
carrion flies at that altitude, attracted
by it.
After surveying and sketching at
several stations, we returned, sliding
down a steep slope of sand and cinders,
700 feet in height, to our camp, where
a repast awaited us, that reminded one
of the Hamilton House. It is enough
to say that our worthy chef dc cuisine
was Louis Koch, well known to former
guests of the Hamilton and later of the
Volcano House.
During the following night the thermometer fell to 13 deg. Fahr. We did
not, however, suffer from cold, although
the confinement of the blanket bags became rather irksome. A smallkerosene
stove was kept burning all night, which
no doubt helped somewhat to keep up
the temperature of the air within the tent.
On Monday, the 25th, the thermometer stood at 20 deg. at sunrise. Messrs.
Muir and Alexander ascended the second
highest peak on the northwest, overlooking Waimea, 13,645 feet in height, to
continue their survey. In the cairn on
the summit a tin can was found, which
contains brief records of the visits of five
different parties from 1870 to the present
time, to which we added our own. A
party of eight girls from Hilo, "personally conducted" by Dr. Wetmore and
D. H. Hitchcock, Esq., in 1876, must
have been a merry one. Capt. Long of
H. B. M.'s Ship Fantome had visited
this spot in 1876, and Dr. Arning with
several Kohala residents in 1885.
The same afternoon the surveyors
occupied the summit of Lilinoe, a high
rocky crater, a mile southeast of the
central hills and a little over 13,000 feet
in elevation. Here, as at other places
on the plateau, ancient graves are to be
found. In the olden time, it was a
common practice of the natives in the
surrounding region to carry up the bones
of their deceased relatives to the summit
plateau for burial.
During the following night the thermometer fell, to 14 deg. and stood at 18
deg. at sunrise. After breakfast the surveying party ascended a third peak, east
of Lake Waiau, and about 420 feet above
it, where they took the closing sets of
angles, and connected the latitude pier
with the scheme of triangulation.
On their return the tents were struck,
and, instruments packed up in readiness
for the pack train, which arrived about
11 a.m. Soon afterwards the fog closed
in around us, and lasted till nightfall.
We bid farewell to the lake about 1:30
p.m., and arrived at the Kalaieha Station
before 6 p.m., without any mishap, having stopped half an hour at "Keanaka-
koi," the axe-makers' cave.
This is
situated about a mile south of Waiau,
and a hundred yards west of the trail, in
a ledge of that hard, fine grained kind of
rock, which ancient Hawaiians preferred
for their stone implements. Here we
saw the small cave in which the axemakers lodged, their fire place, and remains of the shell fish which they ate.
In front of it is an immense heap of
stone flakes and chips some 60 feet
across and 20 or 30 feet high. Near by
several hundred unfinished axes are
piled up just as they were left by the
manufacturers, when the arrival of foreign ships and the introduction of iron
tools had ruined their trade. Around
the entrance of the cave the native dandelion or pualele (Sonclius oleraccus)
was growing at an elevation of 12,800
feet. It was here that the late Dr.
Hillebrand found a curious idol, which is
still in the possession of his family.
On arriving at Kalaieha we learned
that the pack mules had preceded us,
and were already unloaded. None of
the costly and delicate instruments employed had received the slightest injury.
All the objects of the expedition had
been successfully attained. I know of
but one other instance on record when
gravity measurements of precision have
been made at so great a height.
Mr. Preston's final report will be looked for with interest by the scientific
world, and will add another laurel to his
well-earned reputation as a physicist and
astronomer.
Wrecked and Starving.
The lumber ship W. A. Campbell
from Port Townsend to Queenstown
foundered at sea August 17th, in Lat.
14° N., Long. 120° W. in consequence
of a cyclone the day before. The Captain, wife, baby, and eleven seamen left
the ship in one boat; the mate and ten
men in another. They parted company
the next day. The mate's company
landed near the east point of Hawaii,
Sept. 21st, in safety, after a voyage of
2100 miles in 24 days. The company
were nearly exhausted, having been long
on extreme short allowance, and for four
days without liquids. Three of the men
were nearly gone, but have rallied under
careful nursing and are doing well. It
is believed that the Captain's boat has
been picked up. The S. S. Kinau made
one day's search for her, to windward of
Hilo. The U. S. S. cruiser Boston left
Honolulu on the 29th for further search.
This is the second company of wrecked seamen whohave within a ft-fw months
found hospitatity at Capt. Eldart's ranch
in Puna, and welcome in Hilo, as well
as warm sympathy in Honolulu.
There are no disappointments to those
whose wills are buried deep in the will

consecration of his life to Christ. Ileum! Henry H. Parker united with the

In 1863 at the solicitation of a Marquesan chief, three Hawaiian pastors with
their wives were sent to Fatuhiva in the
Marquesas group, as missionaries, where

two of them are still laboring.
Bicknell joined them as a self-supporting missionary. For seven years he
maintained himself, laboring among that
debased people in the endurance of
severe privations, and heavy trials, in
the midst of a community of licentious
savages, who were habitual cannibals,
and often ferocious and treacherous.
Some of their cannibal orgies were
indescribably loathsome, as were also
many of their common practices. In
the midst of these adversities, he grew
to he more and more a man of God,
full of prayer, of faith, and of the Divine Power, of which he had most vivid
experiences in his lonely life.
The work and power of the Spirit were
prominent topics in his public ministry.
Mi. Bicknell was married August ".I,
lstiSto Ellen, oldest child of Rev. Eljas
Bond Of Kohala, Hawaii. Alter seventeen years of pastoral labor, his own
impaired health had incapacitated him
for the farther performance of the arduous duties of his field,
while the
educational needs of his large family of
eight children led to his removal to Honolulu, encouraged thereto by the pecuniary aid of his brother George, who had
large interests at Farming's and Washington islands. Here the Bicknells have
bail then pleasant home for eight years,
and here to the extent of his strength
Mr. Bicknell has diligently given himself
lo voluntary Christian labor, in house
visitation among the natives. This
work led him in time lo organize an
"Association for the Suppression of
Idolatry/ composed of native Christians,
who have caught their teacher's ardent
spirit, and have done most effective
work in combating the hellish influence
of the kahunas, and inducing families
to surrender their fetishes and objects
of superstition, a great variety of which
Mr. Bicknell had in his posession. He
also made important contributions to
the literature of the subject, in the form
of pamphlets, describing these pernicious superstitions and theirevil effect.
Some of these have appeared as articles
in the columns of Till-. FrISMB.
Although without a learned education,
Mr. Bicknell was highly versed in the
meaning of the Scriptures, and apt in dividing rightly the word of truth. As a
preacher, he was fertile and happy in
illustration, and endowed with a (|uiet
and peculiar fervor. His early service
among a very debased but cognate tribe
of Polynesians, had given him a peculiar
apprehension of certain lower conditions
and traits of the Hawaiian mind, which
contributed to his power in dealing with
them.

The Harbor Bar Removed.—The
Dredging of the Bar is substantially
complete, A straight uninterrupted
channel now exists ol .'lO feet in depth at
low tide, and "JOO feet wide on the bottom, with an easy slope on both sides.
Honolulu Harbor is now fully open to
the largest ships afloat. The larger iron
clads and the China steamers will no
longer be compelled to anchor in the
outer roadstead, as heretofore.
This great work was initiated by L.
A. Thurston of tbe cabinet of 1887-90,
the surveys and plans for the work having been made under his direction.
Those plans, after considerable debt)',
were carried out by the late Ministei ol
the Interior, C. N. Spencer, and have
proved a great success. Tbe dredger
will now find abundant employment in
deepening the harbor, especially at the
wharves, thereby greatly enlarging its
capacity, and multiplying the accommodation for the larger clai-ses of vessels.
The great facility and efficiency with
which the- new Dredger has done its
work give strong hope foi- the ready and
speedy removal of the Pearl Harbor Bar,
whereby that splendid and central haven
will become open to the fleets ol the
Pacific Ocean.
Measurements at Kilauea.
Mi. F. S. Dodge of the Survey office,
spent ten days late in August, at Kilauea, when he made accurate measurements of the pit
Ilalemaumau and of
tbe molten lake in the bottom. His
measurements agree substantially with
those made in April by the Editor ofThe
Friend by means of extemporized wooden appliances, and recorded by him in
the Volcano Book. The same also appear in the September number of the
American Journal of Science. The
changes made in the periphery of Halemaumau also agree closely as mapped
by both observers.
During the four months the lake had
continued to overflow so as to build up
the surrounding lower floor some fifty
feet, so that our estimate of depth of
over 300 feet from upper floor appears in
Mr. Dodge's results as 250 feet. His
diameter of the lake 820 feet is a little
less than our estimate of 900.
A majority perhaps of visitors clamber
down the cliff and poke specimens out
of the flowing lava, which is almost
constantly running over some point in
�78
the raised edge of the lake. This great
fire lake of thirteen acres of molten surface has now for more than a year been
affording a spectacle of wonderful grandeur and brilliancy. There is scarcely
any smoke to impede or annoy spectators.
The Pacific Christian Advocate.
Honolulu Christians, who so highly
valued the society and the preaching of
the Rev. A. N. FISHER while in charge
of the Mission to the Japanese in this
city, will be interested to learn that he
assumed the editorial charge of the
Pacific Christian Advocate at Portland,
Oregon, on September 1 st. As the organ of the great and active Methodist
Church that paper and its editor occupy
a noble post of Christian service.

page of this issue is filled with
matter which we have been permited
to take from the Record-book of the As-
sociation for Bible Heading and for the
Suppression of Idolatry. It is an eloquent commentary on the work which
our lamented brother Bicknell has been
carrying on so quietly during these years
and as such it will be of peculiar irtterest to all who would honor him. We
think, moreover, that the matter here
with presented will be read with surprise by many who are not informed
as to the extent of this fetish worship
whichis practised among the Hawaiians
and which the enlightened men among
them, especially those in the pastorate,
are working to overthrow.
-
Palua, who is one of the members
of the Association for Bible Reading
and for the Suppression of Idolatry,
reports that on his late visit to Hana,
Maui, as an evangelist to press the
work of the Association, he discovered
a gold twenty dollar piece, which, for
forty-two years, has been an object of
worship. This fetish-god bore the name
of Haka. It was the property of a man
who is a deacon in the Hana Church.
He and his wife came into possession of
it in IHSO. On the visit of I'alua and
by the aid of the son of the deacon, who
is a teacher in a public school, the
owners of this fetish were won from
their idolatrous worship of a gold coin
and were persuaded to give it over into
the treasury of the Hana Church.
Not long before the death of Mr.
•licknell a koa trunk came to him from
Molokai. It was sent him from two
vomen who are residing there, and who
lave been worshippers of a spirit of a
elative of theirs. The common name
>f the relative was Laic, but her godiame or the name of her deified spirit is
■sapunohu.
The trunk was full of the dresses
handkerchiefs, etc., which were used by
these women when possessed by the
spirit Kapunohu, and while actuated by
it in their superstitious practices, and it
was buried by the Association in Mr.
Bicknell's yard.
As the story goes Laic lived at Molokai, but she had a cousin in Honolulu.
When Laic died at the age of about
thirty, her spirit came and entered this
cousin, who thereafter became its kahu,
or keeper. At the death of this keeper
the spirit went again on its travels seeking a resting place. This time it went
to Waianae, Oahu, and made friends
(hooaikane) with another spirTt which
possessed a woman living at that place.
About this time two other cousins of
Laic, who had gone from Molokai to
Honolulu, heard of this spirit of a-kinswoman which had taken up its abode in
Waianae, and they forthwith repaired
thither, they and their husbands and
some friends with them.
At Waianae one of these women
named Luukia received the spirit Kapu
nohu and took it back with her to Molokai, where it finally took possession of
an elder sister whose name was also
Laic, and so these women came to be
kahu akua, keepers of a familiar spirit
and fetish worshippers till, on a trip to
Honolulu, they were enlightened by a
younger sister, who is a member of the
Association, and so were led to forsake
their idolatrous practices.
Hastening back to Molokai the)- imme
diately packed up all the paraphernalia
of their idolatrous practices and sent
them, as already stated, in a trunk, by the
return steamer to Mr. Bicknell. It is to
these two, needy, struggling, awakened
women, that the Association has just
sent by last steamer a helper. This is
truly an errand of mercy and worthy the
prowess of an evangelist of the first days.
"I find myself before you much moved
to-night by the contemplation of your
Association. My soul is stirred within
me at the thought of the undertaking
you have entered upon in this purpose
of overthrowing idolatry. As for myself
I am firm in my opposition to it, and
this is the reason. Some two years ago
I took into earnest consideration the
matter of the deadness of my parish.
My study of the subject gave me two
causes; the first, the superstition that
was in me; and the second the super
stition that had been in my predecessor.
As for myself I was given over to superstitious practices. I had been led into
them by my stepfather, and I see that
so my ministry has been greatly hindered.
My preaching was formal, and without
heart. While clinging to superstition
I was yet endeavoring to portray the
Gospel in its power, and I have learned that this is a most sinful thing
in the eyes of God. As to my predecessor, I found on entering the parsonage
he had vacated, that he had left in it the
marks of his superstitious practices.
They were in every place. Over the
doors and over the window frames were
the bits ofawaroot, the kalaipahoa, and
the little bundles and so on.'
On the occasion of the sickness ol one
of my deacons he came under the influence of the fetish doctors. No less
than ten were in attendance on him till
he came near to death. I labored with
him to give up these practices and to put
himself into the hands of God, which at
last he did, and recovered.
He is alive and well today and he, together with my wife and myself, are the
only persons in my parish who are free
from these practices, and I proclaim it
here publicly, that these fetish doctors
should be forced to stop their heathenish
practices which are so prejudicial to the
good. It is plain to me that there is no
other sin which so afflicts the churches as
this. It is the root and trunk of the trouble, and all other sins are but branches of
it. In my devotcdness to the work of the
Lord 1 find only joy, and my opposition
to idolatry has brought me no harm."

Origin of the Association for Bible
Reading and for the Suppression of
Idolatry, as Told by the Rev. James
Bicknell.
(I'ranslaleil f,
he I'i-i
sofllie
Asso,
ialion )
"In the year 1888 I appeared before
the officers of the Kaumakapili church
while they weie in session, and suggest
ed the propriety of initiating a series of
district meetings for the quickening of
Christian life and for the reclamation of
the fallen.
I had noted the fact of the activity of
political leaders in organizing their constituents for the holding of caucuses and
public meetings and I felt that the leaders of the church work might well take
a lesson from them.
I found the pastor agreeable to my
suggestion and willing to adopt it, but
the others opposed it. I was then teaching a Bible class and it was the members
of this class which I had purposed to
send out into the districts as leaders of
the meetings proposed.
Headed off from action in this direction, I continued to instruct my class in
the Bible for several months, till I discovered that the light had penetrated
the most of thtyr souls and they were
ready for Christian effort.
On discovering this growth of life in
them, I formed my Bible class into the
Association for Bible Reading and for
the Suppression of Idolatry.
This Association was formed on the
9th of September, 1889—My Bible class
had its origin in two sermons I preached
in Kaumakapili Church at the holding
of the usual evening union meeting.
The attendance was full on the evenings
in which I spoke and the Word seems
to have taken effect on the minds of
some. On the evening of the Tuesday
following the first Sabbath on which I
spoke, I was waited on by one Geo. W.
Nakaa (then a student in the N. P. M.
Institute). I was then living at Puunui.
Nakaa begged that he-might become a
pupil of mine in the Bible. He offered
to repay me with such personal service
as he might be able to render. I was
pleased with this testimony to the helpfulness of my preaching, and I told Nakaa that I would be glad to form a Bible
class, but that I must defer the matter

THE FRIEND
till I had moved further into town. A
few days after this conversation 1 took
up my abode at my present quarters on
Kukni Street. On tiie- second Sabbath
evening in which I preached at Kaumakapili, I gave notice of my purpose to
form a Bible class, and invited such as
wished to join to remain after church.
Out of the number of those that remain
ed the class was formed. The meetings
ol the class were at first held at Kaumakapili chtych, hut for the sake of greater
seclusion they were later held at my residence, and later still al the chapel at
Pukolo, and it was there that the Association was formed.
One evening, not long after this formation of the Bible class, one David Keliipio came into tin- room while the class
was in session with a purpose to get
into a discussion with the teacher. But
on listening to the instruction he was
disabused of the thought but continued
his attendance till the light broke in
upon his soul and he became a changed
man.
Afterwards he showed such ability
that when the Association was formed
he was chosen its scribe, and when the
matter of evangelistic work was taken
up, be was made the Assistant Leader
in it, Mr. S. 11. Oni taking: his place as
scribe."
