Before the beginning of the present year plans were partially matured for the early issuance of a Special Jubilee Supplement to The Friend, and particular contributions chiefly of a reminiscent character were solicited from certain individuals, and in some cases promised by them. Only one of these was actually written, and appeared in our September issue, on "Fifty Years of Hawaiian Commercial Development," by Thomas G. Thrum, a most instructive and valuable paper. The year proved to be one of intensely exciting political issues and events, absorbing all interests in their tram, and profoundly engrossing all minds. To enter upon reminiscences of the half century past was difficult, while the pressing issues of the present imperatively claimed attention and strenuous effort. To compare small to larger things, it would have been not more easy than for the N. Y. Independent in the year of Fort Anderson and Bull Run to have columns to reminiscences of the war of 1812. We have all been too keenly occupied in making actual history to care either for writing or reading the history of the past. Before completing the Fifty-first volume of The Friend, there will be appended to this number, two beautiful portraits provided by Mr. Frank W. Damon for the intended Jubilee Supplement, those of the founder and for forty years the editor of this paper, the excellent and beloved Rev. Samuel C. Damon D.D., and of his noble wife and coadjutor in work. These dear and venerated friends are still fresh in the memories of the people of Honolulu, and their speaking likenesses will be most welcome to the many who knew them with love and honor. The Friend may be called a monument to Dr. Damon's whole hearted zeal for his Lord and Master's work in the Pacific, as well as of his lively and unflagging enterprise, and of the practical wisdom and energy which made the paper a success. It was the forty years' impetus given by Father Damon's successful conduct of The Friend, which more than any other influence has inspired its continuance for the ten years since he' retired from its control. It is the oldest paper now published on Pacific Shores. We have reason to know that it continues to be precious to many Christian hearts. The Rev. Samuel C. Damon arrived in Honolulu as Seamen's Chaplain in 1842, and in the following January issued the first number of this paper under the title ol "Temperance Advacate." The title worked gradually around in two years into The Friend. The forty volumes issued by the eminent man who founded it, are a treasure house of Hawaiian and Polynesian history, besides recording the Christian work and prospects of each year. In this labor of her honored husband, as well as in all his labors, Mrs. Julia Mills Damon was a wise and active coadjutor. Her presence was one always felt as a strong power for good in this community to which she gave her life. It was a wise and gracious presence. Although she did not write for The Friend, she largely inspired it, and it owes a great portion of its character to her influence. We send forth these two attractive pictures to our readers as a little Jubilee memento which we believe they prize and preserve. 91 Number 12. NATIVE PASTORS AND CHURCHES. IMPENDING DISASTER TO The restoration of the queen threatened by Secretary Gresham would involve a variety of disastrous consequences. One of the most serious and most disgraceful would be its crushing effect upon nearly all of our best native pastors and upon the best class of Hawaiian Christians. Our native pastors of Protestant Churches are among the most intelligent and high minded class of natives. For a long period, they have been manfully contending against the overwhelming torrent of rrloral debanchery and heathen superstition proceeding from the royal court. Their hearts have been grieved and sore at the corrupting domination of the monarchy. When that deadly power, so imperious in its tyranny over the popular mind and will, was overthrown, the greater part of these good men rejoiced, and welcomed the establishment of honest government and pure influences. To some of them, race feeling and national prejudices made the change uowelcome, but the majority of the pastors are deeply in sympathy with the new government. The majority of their people are not so, because they are far less intelligent, and have been taught to regard this movement as a trampling on the inherent right of the native Hawaiian to be supreme in the government of his own country, however ignorant and incapable he may be of meeting the necessities of the grand civilization and immense production and commerce which have grown up in Hawaii, and in which the native has no part. Add to this influence the fact that a very large proportion of the Hawaiian people, through court influence for a whole generation, have reverted to superstition, and are slaves to their sorcerers and to the ltnvest forms of vice, and it is evident why their sympathies are so largely with a royalty of their own sort. During the eleven months of the new government the ex-queen's secret information from Washington of her intended restoration, has enabled her to maintain a powerful system of terrorism over her �92 former subjects, who have been conthreatened with speedily coming stantly punishment if disloyal to her cause. To illustrate the effect of this state of things upon the pastors, take the case of Rev. J. Waiamau, the pastor of the large Kaumakapili Church in Honolulu. Mr. Waiamau, as chaplain to the last Legislative Assembly, was brought into daily knowledge of the gross and unblushing corruption of the queen's party, and of the extreme baseness ofher political aims and methods. Besides this, through the impressive influence of the late lamented Rev. James Bicknell, Mr. Waiamau had become earnestly enlisted in the efforts of the latter to unite the native christians in the reformation of idolatrous practices and witchcraft. In consequence, the Kaumakapili pastor was in strong sympathy with the overthrow of the monarchy which had so long been his people. As the consequence, ,h.e has become an object of bitter hostility from a majority of his congregation. On the 26th nit., he was howled out of his pulpit by the royalist majority, who were emboldened by the news of the 34th that President Cleveland had ordered the restoration of the queen. Should that be accomplished, utter temporal ruin would not fail to be visited upon this pastor and all those of his people who had manifested sympathy with his views. The same would be the fate of Kauhane and losepa, the two native pastors in the last legislature, who there became thoroughly convinced of-the hopeless perversity of the queen,, and were converted to Annexation as tho best hope for stable and honest government, and for remedial influences, to check the present rapid decay of. their people. Several other leading pastors are in the same predicament, as well as large numbers of the best christian natives. It may be that a time of grievous trial is at hand forbur Hawaiian churches. But we believe that the gracious God, who has so often delivered Hawaii in extremity, will again interpose. It is not to be believed that the* American people will not effectually forbid the reinstatement of a heatheni/ing monarchy over the struggling Christianity of native Hawaiian*, as well as over this noble foreign civilization. The New United States Minister. On the Australia arrived the Hon. Albert S. Willis of Kentucky, the Envoy and Minister of the United States to this Government. On the 7th, Minister Willis presented his Letters of Credence, THK FRIKNI). with many expressions of friendship and regard both .to this government and to the people of this country. The actual meaning and force of those expressions will be interpreted by his acts. OUR HEAVENLY BODIES. in Central Union Church, November, f Prom a discourse 19th, 1893, by the Rpv. K. (. BatK WITH, D.D.I I. John 111. '2. "We shall lit like him, for we shall see Him as lit is. " * * * If it seems to any of you that such a transfiguration will obscure our personal identity, making us so unlike our present selves, that we shall not know each other in that new and radiant ensphering, remember, first, that it does not make things obscure to leline them. The more you polish a bit of rosewood, the more it brings out the beautiful tracery of its graining. It is a rude comparison, to be sure, but I mean to say that identity is not a mere external quality or an accident. It is something inherent. You cannot refine it out. Just as this hand would be none the less seen to be mine if I had washed it very white, so it would be none the less seen to be mine if it should be made radiant with celestial light. And remember, second, that the refining which will make the body spiritual will make the discernment spiritual. "We shall see as we are seen." And so, through whatever marvelous changes we are to come into the likeness of our glorified Lord, we shall know each other quickerand better far than we know each other here. We know each other here, not simply by the size, and the color, and the contour, but a great deal more by certain personal qualities of which the face and the figure, and the posture are only a poor expression. I know it is you not so much by the color of the eyes as by the light that is in them, not so much by the limning of the lips as by the smile that is upon them. But in that perfected nature, with these vile bodies made like unto Christ's glorious body, through the facile and transparent form we may believe there will be such quick and clear revealing of the soul that is in us, that we shall all know each other there a thousand fold more unerringly. Oh, we are to be like Him. And because He will know me, in the regeneration, I am sure my mother will know me, and my boy will know me, in the same regeneration. It will not hinder this heavenly recognition that we are all to be made like Him, as if one should say "All so much alike; how shall we know each other apart ?" F"or remember again, that this likeness to Christ will be only in quality and nature of being, not in identity. Your little child that, "in tears and pain," you have given up into the arms of the loving Lord, will be only more and more itself, as it goes on unto perfection under its fashioning into the likeness of Christ. And that will make recognition so easy that I have no doubt not only that every Christian mother will instantly know [December, 1893 her own child among all the ransomed millions of little ones, but that every tenderest babe will know its own sainted mother, under the marvelous revealing of that perfected likeness to Christ. Another thing follows from this assurance that we shall be like Him. I am speaking still of the bodily likeness. Like unto his glorious body we shall be fashioned, remember. Now see how that lifts off the limitations of this body of our flesh. You think of Christ, no doubt—l always do as having the freedom of all his universe, You do not believe there is a single glimmering star so far away in the infinite depths that he cannot visit it whenever he will. You do not think of him as tethered by any of the laws of our material life, gravitation, for example. You do not think of Him as going up from Olivet by virtue of the uplift of an omnipotent arm. He went up as naturally as the light goes up, unhindered by any restraint of these rude forces, by the inherent buoyancy of the body celestial. Swiftei than the light flies a million fold, or a million million fold, it may be, you believe our transfigured Lord can wing his way from heaven to earth and from earth to heaven. Or, if not, why not ? What limitations hinder him ? Is it because it seems to be against the laws we know ? But we do not know all the laws. We are learning new things all the while, and some very wonderful things. Indeed, we seem just now to be standing face to face with forces that may be prophetic of this very fact of a celestial body, not only untethered by any rude forces that we know, but self resistant of these very forces; not only un gravitating but anti gravitating; a body with the unhindered freedom of all the created universe. Modern science just now stands with bated breath, with its hand uplifted among the electric forces, and its eye peering out into the ether depths through which the light conies flashing, wondering if such a fatt as that is not breaking in upon the eager vision. Now if our rude science is beginning to find such things among the forces it can test and tabulate, why may we not easily believe that in that realm of celestial things that is so infinitely beyond the reach of our mathematical analysis, and our chemical analysis, and our spectrum analysis, there are forms and forces more tenuous than the ether of the inter stellar spaces, and more facile and forceful than the light or lightning; forms and forces fitted for the ensphering of our transfigured Lord ? Such a celestial body no doubt enshrines him in his home of light and glory. And we shall be like him, "our vile body fashioned like unto his glorious body," "changed into his image from glory to glory." And that will be heaven; that deliverance from these earthly limitations, that power of searching the height, and the depth, and the breadth, and the length, of the wonderful work of God. �Vol. 51, No. 12.] Mrs. Ann Maria Dimond. |ln Memoriatn]. This aged and beloved survivor of the old Missionary group of Honolulu, passed from earth to the heavenly home, November 20th. She was born at the old Howling Green In New York City, early in I*oB. Her mother was of Scotch parentage, her father French, and the sole survivor of a planter's family massacred in St. Domingo. He was then in his eighth year, Was carried to France by a sea captain, but all the relatives there The captain had been guillotined. adopted anil brought him up to his own profession. His name was pronounced Anner, the true spelling unknown. Capt. Anner became a successful ship master in the West Indian trade, and noted for his polished manners. Mrs. Dimond inherited some property from her parents. Although of Episcopal parents, Miss Anner became an active member of the Presbyterian Church, and deeply inter ested in mission work. In her last illness she recalled her tending a negro couple in New York sick with cholera, one night in company with the late Amos Cooke, and washing the woman's feet. Becoming deeply interested in Foreign Missionary work, she was married November 3d, 1834, to Mr. Henry Dimond, an assistant missionary of the American Board. The young couple sailed December sth from Boston in the ship Hallespont in company with Rev. Titus Coan and Mr. E. O. Hall and their wives, forming the sixth reinforcement to the mission in the Sandwich Islands. The DimondS resided many years on the old mission premises now occupied by Mr. Hopper, where much warm and abundant hospitality was dispensetl to their fellow missionaries from the other islands. Mrs. Dimond speedily became known as a woman of both strong and sweet nature, and activity in good works. The seven children began to come fast during the next fourteen years and absorbed the larger part of the mother's time and strength. Mr. Dimond'a duties in the Mission having been chiefly of a secular nature, and being no longer needed, he resigned about 1849 and engaged in mercantile business, removing in a few years to his present residence. The parlor of their house was planned with especial reference to church and prayer meetings. It was there that Fort Street Church was organized, and its constitution signed on the parlor table. Mrs. Dimond was most active in church work under Pastors Taylor and Corwin. One of Dr. Corwin's first questions not long since to a Honolulu friend was, "Has my mainstay, Mrs. Dimond become so infirm ?" She was largely instrumental in building Fort Street Church, in securing the money for the lot, and in the fairs for the building fund. She had great love for the new Central Union Church. It is stated that her 93 THE FRIEND private contributions for the building were larger than those of any other lady. All the plans of the building were carefully studied by her. When completed she was conducted through it and surveyed it with deepest interest, reliectant to leave. She never had strength to attend public worship there. In her last sickness, one of the most frequent words on her lips was, referring to the church : "Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favor the dust thereof." One of Mrs. Dimond's characteristics was an ardent patriotism reaching out towards both her native and her adopted country. She longed to live to see the two countries happily united for the highest well being of the Hawaiian people as well as for the welfare of America. She was intensely interested in the great struggle for political and moral rights in the last legislature. In her last days, finding a young friend ignorant of what she wished to know of public politics, she said, "If I were as young as you, I would know everything hat is going on." When the evil tidings by the Alameda arrived on the 16th, it became almost necessary to deceive her in her weak state, so keen was her desire to be informed of what all were so anxious about. This dear and aged mother lived in faith and prayer, a life near to God and heaven. Her end was full of sweet assurance and bright hope. She expressly desired that her features should not be exposed to view at the funeral, and that no eulogistic remarks should be made in the services, so averse was she to publicity. The obsequies took place on the 21st at the house of her son-in-law, Henry T. W'aterhouse. The pall bearers were Messrs. W. W. Hall, C. M. Cooke, S. E. Bishop, S. B. Dole, W. O. Smith and G. P. Castle, all the sons of old and dear missionary brothers. The surviving children are Mrs. Dr. Stangewald, Mrs. Henry Waterhouse, General W. H. Dimond, and Mr. Edwin H. Dimond. There are also three daughters of a deceased daughter Mrs. Sarah Kinney. The widowed husband the aged Henry Dimond, in great feebleness awaits the Lord's call in resignation and hope. The Miowera Saved. After nearly six weeks on the reef, the noble steamer Miowera was safely re- moved from her perilous position, and now lies safely moored in Honolulu harbor. The injuries received by pounding on the coral prove to be slight. This no doubt was largely owing to the soft and yielding character of the rock upon which she lay, as well as to the continuance of our characteristic Pacific weather. The tearing off of the outer stem post with the rudder, is the only injury necessitating important repairs before proceeding to the Coast for complete repairs to the dented plates of her bottom. The post was torn tiff by the hawsers of the steamers which tried to pull her off. This will be replaced by means of a box caisson fitted to the Miowera's stern, sunk underneath, and pumped out. Inside this the men will work and rivet on anew the separated post. The process of pulling off the Miowera by the experienced wrecker Captain Metcalfe was comparatively simple. He obtained a solid grip on the reef with one enormous anchor for whose fluke a cavity was blasted out. Other anchors were made subsidiary. Powerful cables led from these to solid fastenings on the hull of the ship, and were hauled in by mighty tackles from the ship's steam winches. A couple of morning lides' slow steady pulling, and she was dragged into ocean's deep bosom once more. A grievous blot has been removea from our seaward view. That noble ship lying in distress and mortal peril was a most painful sight. We shall always have a tender feeling towards this ship as she courses back and forth as we trust she long may do across the Pacific. Probably no ship of her size ever lay stranded half as long without destruction, unless it was Noah's ark—and that never floated again. Mashona Land. This district of South Africa lies about 500 miles due east of the precise Antipode of Honolulu. It is a curious coincidence, that exactly under our feet, another severe conflict should be going on between the respective claims for sovereignty of a dark and a white race, although the conditions and the character of the conflict are extremely different. Here the whites have the highest interests of the natives in view as well as the necessities of their own civilization, while the best class of the natives themselves desire with the whites to be free from a debasing heathenish tyranny. In Africa there is simply a contest between savages and white immigrants. The sovereignty of Mashona land is what king Lobengula is contesting with the whites who have occupied that wonderful land of gold in large numbers. Lobengula and his half million of Matsbele people are the next neighbors of Mashona land on the south-west, and have not been disturbed in their homes by the whites. But the Mashona negroes have long been slaves to the warlike Matabeles, who continue their practice of raiding their country. This has created a fierce war with the English and Dutch immigrants, who forbid the Matabeles to molest their Mashona friends. The few thousand whites are reported already to have gained decisive victories by the help of Maxim guns over the tenfold numerous blacks. Of course Lobengula and his people will be subjugated. Undoubtedly the work will be more or less brutally done as in most wars. But it is for the general interest �94 .. of human progress that the noble uplands of Mashona -land should be occupied by a progressive white nee, who shall establish at.least a rude justice and social order in the heart of the Dark Continent. The enormous reefs of gold in that land ensure its rapid occupation. SECRRT EVEALED. THE FRIEND who were prominent actors in the Revo- [December, 1893 We greatly congratulate our esteemed lution.

DAMON CHENRY SAMUEL REV. �Vol. 51, No. 12.] from Minister Willis and Admiral Irwin down to the lowest sailor, will be participant in the atrocious crime. Our Heads of state have been in a position of profoundly heavy responsibility, between their duty of maintain ing their resistance to the overthrow of their Government to the last useful effort, and their duty of avoiding useless slaughter either of the American forces or ot their own citizens arrayed against them. By the resolute action, however, of its supporters, the Government has been carried beyond its doubts and hesitation. The vigorous and united demand of our citizens to fight the U. S. forces to the bitter end has settled the question, and whenever such forces or any other, unauthorized by the Congress of the United States attack this Government, they will be resisted to the utmost. A large proportion of the citizens hold in their veins the blood of Lexington and Gettysburg. They are perfectly armed with rifles and rapid lire guns. They can muster over one thousand men. and behind entrenchments, can give good account of any force possible at present to be brought against them. They will light with patience and courage in the glorious cause of civili sation and constitutional government against the reinstatement of a semiheathen monarch and vicious ti am pier on constitutions. A true man can find no better end to his life than to fall fighting in such a cause. To the best of our judgment, Minister Willis will not precipitate this conflict. If he waits until December 21, Congress will have assembled, and will undoubt edly have taken the whole business out of the President's hands. There can be little fear that Congress will ever authorise the carrying out of this infamous intention of replacing a base and reck less heathen tyrant over the glorious civilization of this large American Colony. Until we know to the contrary, we shall believe that Minister Willis has vigorously remonstrated against it. When Congress has assembled, we expect to learn that the dark cloud of war and slaughter which now hangs over our fair city, has been dispelled to be succeeded by bright days of peace and prosperity.

It will not answer in these times of unrest to let the Lord's work suffer from any want of interest or enthusiasm. While the future political condition and relations of the country are so involved in uncertainty, it is natural that the Hawaiian people should he anxious and ill at ease. Hut the Evangelistic mission, inaugurated on Kauai, has developed a unity and hopefulness, which augurs well for the future of the Hawaiian Churches. In Honolulu, the disaffection of many of the Kaumakapili people to their pastor, Rev. J. Waiamau, has led some of the membership to talk about forming a new church; but the disaffected element gives no evidence of ability or stability if such an attempt should actually be made. The Chinese work was never more interesting nor promising than now. The large number ofyoung people growing up under christian influences is a sight to gladden any one who will visit the Chinese Church. To hear a choir of cultivated and skillful Chinese singers, led by a young Chinese organist, is an evidence of progress, such as our faith could not have anticipated a few years ago. An effort is being made to secure funds to build a parsonage for the Portuguese pastor, Key. A. Y. Soares. The present shell of a house will then be repaired, and refitted as a home for the teachers of the mission school. The near approach of the Christmas season calls for extra work in preparation for its usual festivities. Some changes have been made in the location of the workers in the Japanese mission. Rev. Jiro Okabe comes to Honolulu to take charge of the work in the city, and he will have Rev. K. Yeguchi as his assistant. Another of the new arrivals, Rev. S. Kana has gone to Kohala to begin evangelistic work there. He has the advantage ot having had some years' experience in such work in Japan, in connection with Rev. Sidney Gulick. Rev. Mr. Oku takes charge of the work in Hilo. The young preachers on Kauai and Maui are doing earnest, faithful work. It is hoped soon to station three others, expected shortly to arrive, at as many important points. The sugar planters are interested in this evangelistic and will co-operate with the Board in the attempt to diminish the ravages of intoxicating drinks and gambling, among the 25,000 Japanese, now on the islands. 97 only patient effort can remedy.

The Urgent Need. . — �98 FRIEND. THE New Masonic Temple. The Hawaiian Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, on the evening of the 27th, dedicated their new Temple. It is an elegant edifice, the lower part devoted to stores and offices, the upper to Masonic uses. It stands on the east corner of Hotel and Alakea streets, across from the Reading Room. The Lodge\was organized in 1852 with eleven members, and now has 130. Another lodge has 43. Many leading citizens have been members. Liberal aid has been supplied to a large number of needy members, both officially and in private. The following facts came out at a late meeting of the Buffalo Presbytery: A young man was the guest of clergymen. He was a stranger to all but one or two. He was a slim pale-faced young man, with black hair, and sinewy hands. "All my life" he told them, "has been spent among the Kiowas in fishing, hunting and war. Until eight years ago I could not read, and had never seen the Bible; but I have been studying the Greek Testament and other required works, and I am confident that I can pass the customary examinations." He did pass. It seems that this young man was the son of a white scout. His uncle had long been in search of him. The boy had beenstolen by the Indians when two years old. The Kiowas came a short time ago to Fort Sill. There the uncle visited their camp, and identified the nephew by a peculiar vaccination spot. The young man immediately left the tribe; wandering into some of the fron- tier places of dissipation, he fell in with the Salvatiotr'Army, and heard, for the first time, the story of Jesus. After a long.struggle he was converted, and gave his lite to the Saviour. He has been invited already to take charge of the Presbyterian church at Akron, in western New York. We had condensed this striking narrative from a reliable correspondent of the New York Evangelist. It has more than one lesson; but its great lesson is the old one—l am not ashamed of the gospel that saves. And let it not long be true that an American or an Indian boy can grow up anywhere in our land where he cannot learn to read, and cannot know the Saviour. Let all citizens strengthen the government in its educational plans, and not forget to sustain by voluntary contributions also the directly Christian schools and missions.

Dr. Meredith of Brooklyn antagonized it because of its rider, affirming that the Congregational Chinches did not believe in eternal punisment. Josepb Cook opposed Mr. Noyes' appointment as not based on the theological fitness ofthe candidate. Dr. Behrends pleaded for united action. J. K. Thurston expressed his grief at any such action, saying that at least $7:"><l,-(MIO now bequeathed in wills to the Board would be turned into other channels, in view ol such action. There were many brief speeches made, one of the best by W. E. Barton, the new pastor of the Shawmut Church, Boston. He spoke of the Board of Missions at Jerusalem, President Peter and Secretary James being doubtful about the orthodoxy of a young man whom the local church at Antioch had sent out, who pteacbed the doctrine of the salvation ofthe uncircumcised Gentiles.When the vote was taken, it stood 106 to -M in favor of the Committee's report. When it came to election ol officers, Dr. Thompson declined to serve on the Prudential Committee, and Dr. Alden declined to act again as Home Secretary. Dr. Henry Hopkins waa nominated in his place, but declined to accept. Dr. Daniels, the N, Y. District Secte tary was chosen. President Storm and the vice-President Blatchford had purposed to resign, but learning of the other resignations, were re-elected lest their withdrawal now should be considered as being the result of the action recommended by the Committee. So the way is clear for the new year with new methods and agents. Dr. Lyman's sermon Tuesday evening was most admirable -the aim should dominate the methods -from Paul's phrase, "If I might gain, etc." Dr. O. \i. Leavitt is Chairman of the Committee on the Pacific Islands. He will report in favor of the speedy appointment of an associate; (for Dr. Hyde) also of memorializing the Washington Government for prompt and vigorous action to secure Christian Civiliz ation against the internal confusion of Hawaiian misrule. This is not the exact phraseology, but the substance of it. I am sorry I am obliged to leave before any action is taken. Yours truly, C. M. Hyde. �84 [November, 1893.

Part of the island is highly mountainous. The highest peak is upward of live thousand feet. The island is called Madeira, which means timber, on account of the ahundance of wood that grows upon it. Fire has been the most effective agent in time the removing the wood. At woods were constantly buttling for a period of seven years. Ever since its discovery by the Portuguese in 1 ll'J, it has been a part of the dominions of Portugal and subject to the laws of the mother country. The Roman Catholic being the religion of the state, the Portuguese were forbidden to become Protestants, as is the case in all countries where the Roman church controls the civil power. From one country to another the people lived and died in the most profound ignorance of the vital truths ol Christianity. No one stood up amid this mental and spiritual darkness and proclaimed to them the way of Salvation, until Dr. Robert K. Kalley, a minister of the Free Church of Scotland and also a physician, arrived at Madeira in 1838, He, with his wife, were on their way to China as missionaries, but owing to the illness of Mrs. Kalley, they were unable to pursue their journey, and so landed at Madeira. Entirely ignorant of the Portuguese language, he resolved to obtain the knowledge of it that he might declare in their own tongue the Plan of Salvation. He opened a school to teach the Knghsh language, with the design ol acquiring the Portuguese. He early began to establish schools for the diffusion of education throughout the island. From his own purse he paid the salaries of the teachers, and also furnished all the books for the schools. The desire to learn was very strong. These schools became very popular and commenced a .course of unparalleled prosperity. Within a short period, no less than eight hundred adults were taught in these schools, besides children. The people were delighted and amazed at the benevolence of Dr. Kalley, who sustained all expense without any compensation. Even the municipal authorities of the city of Funchal, the principal city on the island, were constrained to pass a vote of thanks to Dr. Kalley for his disinterested acts of benevolence. Dr. Kalley found the Portuguese in the most deplorable and almost incredible ignorance ofthe Word of God. Some time between the years 1750 and 176K the Bible was translated into the Portuguese language by Antonio Pereira dc Fegueiredo, a Romish Priest. This had been sanctioned by the a few government schools that were formed on the Island. Early in his efforts Dr. Kalley began to citculate the Portuguese Bible. The people lead with deepest interest a book so rare, so entirely new to them. Copies soon spread to the most distant part uf the Island. Capt. Tate, ofthe British Navy, who was an eye-WltneSt of the things that occurted in Madeira, thus narrates the influence of the circulation nl the scriptures among the people. "A desire to investigate the life-giving truths ol the Bible spread widely among the people. They began to hunger and thirst Their souls were after knowledge. touched by the Spirit of Christ. The seed took root and grew -was watered from on high and soon became fruitful To one sinner after another the Word came home with demonstration anil with power. In the course of reading the Scriptures they met with many things inconsistent with the religious teachings they had received from then fathers. Some applied to their priests for a solution of then difficulties, and becoming gradually accustomed to the excr cisc of their mental powers were often dissatisfied with the answers given to their inquiries. The piiests were an noyed when the)- found themselves iui passed, as they frequently were in the knowledge of (lod by then own parish ioners, and ere long began to oppose both the schools and the Scriptures. One intelligent peasant having Been that popery was inconsistent with revelation, became a protestant, anil was soon after excommunicated. The priests became alarmed at the growing intelligence of the people. I'hey saw that this practice of Bible reading if continued, would produced ■ vast change in the feelings and views ofthe Portuguese. Resolving to check this, the bishops and piiests declared that "the Bible was a book from hell," and the sentence of ex-communication was thundered against all who read it. Dr, Kalley saw that the storm of pet sectitinn was using. He had been war ried by the friends in Scotland to flee from it. But he was prepared to say with Nehemiah, "Should such a man as I llee ?" He wrote a letter to Scotland that was published in the Glasgow, Scottish, Guardian, June li, I*4 3. The following extracts give a lucid view ofthe state ol things in Madeira at that time. "Al present I am threatened with imprison ment, and if the enemy be allowed to fulfil what is on his heart and on his tongue, I am likely to be in jail when you receive this. God may, however, interpose at any hour, and if it be for his glory and the eternal welfare of the people that I shall not go, he will open his name, I should only have cause to rejoice in this." You reminded me of the order given when persecuted in one city to flee into another, but you will also remember that it is said of the hireling that he llecth because he is an hireling and the Wolf comes and catches the sheep. Wire I to flee, I believe the poor sheep of Christ's fold would feel deeply discouraged and the wolf would catch them. The Lord can deliver out of the paw of the lion and of the bear. He would deliver them though I were away, but it is necessary for us to examine well, and seek to know the will of God, for it is not for us to run whenever the lion grows. Let those who have no hope or confidence in the Eternal fear man that shall die, but let not us fear eat th or hell. " The judge is brother-in-law to the governor, and both bitterly oppose me. Two men are excommunicated and many more threatened." Yet amidst all this Dr. Kalley con tinned to hold two meetings daily, at which there were present from thirty to More applied for one hundred persons. admission to communion with the Scottish Presbyterian Church, formerly established by the Scotch and English resident! ofthe island. The schools were closed by order of the administrator. The houses of the scholars, chiefly Bible readers, were broken open; thirty men and women were taken prisoners. Some lay pining in the jail of Funchal upwards of twenty long months, supported by English " generosity. Mis. Alves was one of the eminent Christians of this persecuted Mock. Dr. Kalley says: "She was an intelligent, clear minded woman, quite willing to die if it was the Lord's will." Her godly life and her fervent prayers attracted the attention ofthe enemies ol the Bible. They resolved to make an example of her, in order to inspire others with tenor. She was taken from her family of seven children, the youngest infant, and committed to prison on .in the :ilst of January, 1843. This was for years the home of this Christian lady, who breathed only the spirit of prayer for the salvation of her persecutors, The time of her trial before the court was postponed, it would seem, to protract her sufferings, and compel her to recant and return to the Romish church. But her faith and courage were not shaken by such means. The priests and officers of government, seeing the firmness of her faith, and having little or no hope of a change in her sentiments, were strongly and deeplyexcited. They resolved that they should suffer the highest penalty of the law. The �Vol. 51, No. ll.] day of the trial finally arrived on the 2d of May, ISM. There were three charges against her blasphemy. apostasy, heresy and She was tried only on the charge of blasphemy. The question was put to her by the judge; -"Do you believe the consecrated host is the real body and real blood of Jesus Christ?'' Mrs. Alves knew that her life would depend on the answer she gave. Knowing this, what shall we say ofthe courage and faith of a Christian lady who could reply to the court with distinct utterance, " I do not believe it." Immediately after her frank avowal, the judge condemned her to suffer d -.it 11as provided in the law, the costs of the pro cess to be paid out of her goods. The British subjects then on the I si and resolved to make an effort to save the life of this excellent woman, so unjustly doomed to die. They drew up a petition to the Queen of Portugal, praying that the sentence might be reversed. At the same time an appeal was taken from the decision of the court in Madeu a to the higher court at Lisbon. Her Heavenly Father, in whom she so fully trusted, and who has promised that He will never forsake those who trust in him, so ordained that her sentence was changed from death to imprisonment. In all, this Christian ladywas shut up in that dismal prison al most three years. She was finally re stored to her family, after this long and painful separation, and with her husband, children and sister, fieri from Madeira to Trinidad, and from there to Illinois. .Some of her children are among the Portuguese exiles now in Illinois, This is only one of the many m stances, of the sufferings to which these poor people were subjected for Christ's sake. The state of the Portuguese Bible readers was very perilous. They were persecuted on each side. Their neighbors who still adhered to the Roman chinch, the priest, and the police were constantly on the alert to arrest them. They were forbidden to read the Scriptures or to pray together in their own dwellings. Every copy of the word of God on which the priests could lay hands was immediately committed to the flames. But thanks be to (iod the Bibles were not all destroyed. Some enclosed their Bibles in small boxes and buried them in the earth, others opened a place in the stone walls ofthe house and plastered over them. And others wrapped them in cloth and hung them in trees of very thick foliage. In such ways as ingenuity and piety could suggest, at least fifty Bibles and three hundred New Testaments were preserved from the destroyer. The priests succeeded in getting a Bible from a little girl and burned it. With tears streaming down her face, she told them that they had destroyed her Bible, but they could not destroy the 21 chap 85 THF. FRIEND. tets she had committed to memory and treasured in her heart. The great oh ject of these persecutions was not reached while Dr. Kalley remained in Madeira. Large companies of men were marching through the city threat cning the destruction of the protestants both foreign and native. Dr. Kalley addressed a letter to the police magistrate, informing him of the facts. The hearer of the letter was seized in theStreets and severely beaten, and the letter taken from him. Dr. Kallev then appealed to the governor, who replied that the disturbance was the fruit of the tree he had planted in the island, which could produce nothing but discoid and trouble. On the 9th of August, IHIG, things were brought to a crisis. A great mob of angry men gathered in front of Dr. Kalley's bouse, and entering it, brought out his books and made a bonfire of them. The Dr. had previously escaped in female attire, and boarded a British vessel which lay anchored in the harbor. The following day placards were put on the governor's palace, demanding all protestants to leave the island during that week. On the 23d of August, 1X46, the "William" loosed her sails slowly, and beautifully glided out of the bay of Funchal, carrying 20(1 Christians from the land of their fathers to seek a refuge in a land of strangers. Most of this large party had left their homes at night and could not without risking their lives, return to their ruined cottages to col lect any little property that might be left. Many of them came on board with nothing but the clothes they had on, and these in tatters from their wanderings in the mountains. They arrived at He West Indies where many died, owing to the climate. Finally, most of those who survived, having heard of America the land of freedom, resolved to again trust to God's guidance, and try a country of which they knew nothing. Illinois was chosen as a good location for them, and two colonies were there formed, one in Jacksonville, and one in Springfield. By their industrious thrifty ways, tbey soon procured their own homes. Dr. K. afterwards visited them, bringing another company of believers with him. He organised a church in Jacksonville, and one in Sptihglield. At last the}- found a place of peace and rest, where they with many others who have since come among them, live in contentment, and where they and their children enjoy all the blessings of a free country. Thus has the promise of God been verified, "There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my sake, and the gospel's, but he shall receive an hundred fold now, * * and In the world to come eternal life."

Of other property real and personal not included in the above schedule there is about 12 millions, of which the natives own a larger proportion, possibly one fourth. These gentle natives are simply without the necessary elements of business ability. We present these facts to show that the present movement of the whites to formally assume the direction of the government is an inevitable consequence of their previous direction of all Common sense must the business. show every friend of the Hawaiian people that the only course for them to take is to fall in with this resistless tendency, and not to oppose it.

It is undoubtedly difficult to draw an exact line and say what teachings are essential to a true and efficient teaching of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and what are not so. But one main teaching seems to us beyond all doubt central and essential. That is, that men must believe on the Lord Jesus, and receive him as Lord and Savior. He is the Bread of Life to nourish and vivify their spiritual being. He is the Lamb of God slain for their sins. He is God's revelation of himself to them, for their soul's healing and life. God, the Father, comes down close to sinning and dying men in his Son Jesus, so that they may know and turn to the Father, and take life and soul strength. It is, therefore, necessary, above all else, to hold up Christ before men, and cause them to understand his excellence and beauty, and receive him as their Lord and Redeemer. We are not saying that no one can so turn to the Father as to find life without knowing Christ. But the revelation of God in Christ so incalculably surpasses all that imperfect knowledge of God which Jew or Islamite or Parsee are likely to attain, that He becomes emphatically The Way of Salvation. If this is so, then the guiding aim of every Christian missionary should, by his own life and by all his teachings, so to lift up the character and work of His Lord before men, as to fix their attention upon Him as the One to believe on and follow. When men become loving and loyal to Christ, they are redeemed men, and they heal and uplift all the community in which they dwell. Christ in men thus becomes the Life and Light of all Society. He brings Peace for War; Compassion and Mutual Help instead of Oppression; Social Purity, Temperance, Justice and Mercy in place of Social Disorders. Only as Christ enters into the hearts of men, and becomes their life, will the disorders of society be healed. Makiki Pumping Station. We are glad to record that the Water works department have made something of a beginning towards the supply of the city with water from its natural and copious source in the artesian water stratum underneath. Many years ago a well was bored just above the Makiki reservoir. The top of the flow was 125 feet below the surface of the ground, and a five foot brick shaft was built down to the surface of the flow, and a so-called "pulsometer" pump put in, which proved a failure. After lying idle several years, an excellent steam force pump has been fitted to the 87 THE FRIEND. well and is lifting 800,000 gallons a day into the reservoir. This is sufficient to supply the present wants of that end of the city. It is now in order for the authorities to proceed as rapidly as possible to put a large well down near lower Pauoa bridge and force a full torrent of water into the great Nuuanu main with pies sure equal to that of the lower reservoir. Another well and pump should at once be started below Kamehameha school, to supply Palamaand Kalihi.How can the Government honestly continue to exact the immense revenue which they do from consumers, and longer delay to use the obvious means for an abundant supply of the water we pay for, and do not receive? Toads! A consignment of eightytwo of these homely but useful reptiles, young and old, was received from Prof. Koebele by Mr. Marsden, Oct. 7.

There it is hoped that shade and moistnre with abundant plant and insect life, will make existence cheerful tor the interesting Strangers, and cause them to multiply to the end of aiding to destroy our insect pests. Stranding of the Miowera. A leading event of the month was this disaster to the noble steamship Miowera of the new line of monthly boats between Australia and British Columbia. At 8:20 p. M. Oct. 2d., the ship unfortunately approached too near the shore before the pilot had boarded her, and grounded on the reef within the entrance of the harbor on its western side. The breeze and slight swell at once urged the stern upward until the great ship lay at full length upon the coral in fif teen feet of water. Active efforts were at once begun to lighten her, and to pull her off by the aid of steamers in port. all proved vain; the ship was pushed higher on the reef each day, and after five days of strenuous effort became somewhat permanently lodged in about eleven feet of water. She had leceived no radical injury. If no storm arises to destroy her, means will doubtless be found to float her. Her passengers and mails were forwarded on the 11th per Australia. The sight of this noble ship in front of the harbor, helpless and in great jeopardy; has been a distressing one. The topic has greatly occupied the public mind. The diversion from the hitherto absorbing political issue has no doubt been a wholesome one. Men of clashing opinions could cordially agree in their sympathies about the Miowera, and heartily unite in active efforts for her relief. Carriages go Through From Hilo to the Volcano House. There are still over five miles remaining of the Volcano road to be built. The ground is. however, of such a nature that the stuge proprietor Mr. T. R. Wilson has been able to open a temporary track upon which wheeled vehicles can he taken through. It was certainly a great event when a party of sixteen some two weeks ago went through upon wheels from Hilo to the Volcano House. It is announced that stages will hereafter run thrice a week each way the whole distance to the Volcano. We congratulate the Hilo people and everybody An unsuccessful attempt was made last week by Capt. Arthur McDowell to float the Miowera, by the use of socalled Samson posts placed at the sides of the ship to lift her clear ofthe ground so that she could he pulled forward. The tackles used were inadequate in strength and gave way. Further efforts are in progress by experienced wreckers from San Francisco, with what prospects of success we have no means of judging. Just now the outlook for the Miowera's future does not seem encouraging. Itis a great thing to love Christ so death as to be "ready to be bound and to die" for him, but it is often a thing not less great to he ready to take up our daily cross and to live for him.- John Caird.

Rev. O. P. Emerson; Dear Sir:—It gives me unfeigned pleasure to have to answer your kind and welcome letter. Many thanks for the kind sentiments in it towards my hoy Oliver. It is gratifying to me to hear from the principal Miss Malone that he is progressing so favorably in his schooling. My earnest desire is that he will always do that which si right and just, then he will never be brought to shame. The Star arrived hereon the 16th of this month, her stay was very brief. Mr. Rand was on board, and would very much have liked to have gone down to Kiti to gather up his belongings, but the act ing governor refused to let him gO, Mr, Rand was very much chagrined, and sorely disappointed at this refusal. He sides there were many Christian people from all parts of the island who made long journeys for the express purpose ol meeting those on board, and the}' too were grieved, and disappointed. We cannot account for this uncalled for antipathy toward the M. S.; the)- do nothing on board that vessel that they need be ashamed nor afraid of, it is simply a bad and malicious feeling on the part ol the authorities. The governor has made quite an impression amongst the people, they speak of him as being a good man. He appears to be rather indifferent to any par ticular sects of religion. He has given permission to start schools in full swing right here where I am living; one of which is a government school, having a native teacher, and he receives for his services the sum of $. per month; and his wife too receives the same amount. This is not a bad income for a native. The other school is our own private one; (of which I am principal) where we hold our social meetings, prayer meetings, and singing classes, so far we are getting along very canny. On Saturday, we have quite a large congregation, from far and near to hear the word of God. r> 89 THE FRIEND. No. 11.] Letter From Rev. James Kekela.

We are here in our fields carrying on the work of the Lord as he enables us to do. I received your letter of last Feb ruary inquiring about the articles sent to the Hon. C. R. Bishop. I hope that you have received them. I gave careful directions to the Agent Mr. A. Crawford at Taiohae in Nuuhiwa, and shall be greatly rejoiced to know that they have duly reached you. Hut if they have gone astray, how will it be? My daughter Kaulu Kekela, with Emily Hapuku, are now conducting the girls' school at Atuona, over which Z. Hapuku and his wife are in charge.

Elsewhere in this issue is an appeal about the need of preaching upon the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. We be lieve that the lack of this blessed Divine (lift is the great lack of the most enlight ened and favored Gospel denominations, as truly, though in less degree of deficiency as in the old tinreformed churches. Our churches have some experience of this Gift from time to time. Individ ual Christians among them here and there are found, who live in the habitual experience of "Joy in the Holy Ghost," and in His inward divine communion. Hut it is the unworthy and unhappy experience of the vast majority of Christians that they conduct their daily lives so badly that they manage to hinder the communing of the Holy Spirit with their souls. They do not earnestly obey His gentle promptings. They do not gladly, lovingly seek to hear His sweet voice in their hearts. They do not keep listening affectionately to His wise and tender whisperings. So they "grieve" the Holy Spirit, as one grieves and silences a loving friend and comrade by not lending to him an attentive ear and a complying disposition. Mr. Bristol asks, "why do not Ministers preach about it ?" Every word we have written above carries deep pain with it to the writer, in the consciousness of having daily done the same thing that is condemned. It is not easy or natural for one to preach to others a high practice of holy living and divine communing which is not in a good degree a part of his own habitual experience. Hut no less is it a clear and undoubting conviction, begotten of occasional personal experience, that there is a high plane of glorious lite and joy in (iod, in which it is permitted to every Christian believer to live, who has the resolution and self renouncing to follow the Lord closely. Another thing, it is a difficult and delicate task to call on Christians to come up on that high plane of spiritual living, when they are with few excep turns, living together upon a lower and Comparatively unhappy plane, and taking it as a matter of course to do so. It seems about tliconly effective thing a pas tor can do in this regard, to learn himself to be a very joyful and very single hearted practiser of this thing, privately also leading some select spirits in the same good way, and by this personal example drawing as many as possible into the I ligher Life of the Spirit. It would seem to be impossible for any one to have this joy of communion with the Holy Spirit whose heart is in any way set upon lucre, or social distinction, or sense-pleasure, or any earthly aim, so as not to hold every desire of the kind ready to be instantly set aside at God's call. The Spirit's sweet ministrations ate most apt to come in power, after one has obeyed some call of the Blessed Friend, and put away some thing much desired, for His sake. Christ's people here in Hawaii, as distinctly as at any advanced post of His kingdom in this world, are called on to equip themselves fully for the great work we have to do, the contest to wage, the light to uphold, the dark souls to illumine. Shall we not then gird ourselves up to our glorious task by inviting and cherishing the Divine Presence within our souls ? Of what worth are all these lower objects the 73 The Friend.

Everyone who wills it heartily, can get his soul filled with God's presence, and so with heavenly gladness, such as makes other joys poor and trivial. HAWAII STILL WAITING. We are still without a declaration of President Cleveland's policy on the Hawaiian question. Of the views entertained by Secretary Gresham and Mr. Blount, we suppose that we have a somewhat definite idea in the main though not in detail. The scheme arrived at by these high officials in probably as follows: To establish a Protectorate over Hawaii, strong against external interference. Hut little interference with internal conduct of the government. The Provisional Government to be guaranteed againstt internal disorder? until such time as a Republican form of government can be organized with such restrictions upon suffrage as will ensure capable administration of the government; and such new government also to be guaranteed as before. This is the general outline, as we think is reliably ascertained. It hardly need be said that no revival of the native monarchy is for a moment thought of by the Washington statesmen, nor any such extension of suffrage as would admit the incapable classes to participation in government. Of course such a scheme as the above has to be approved by the President and Senate on one side and by the existing Hawaiian Government on the other. The latter would probably accede to any reasonable plan like the above, although believing Annexation as a Territory to be far more in the interest of both countries. We have no reason to suppose that the President would oppose. We trust that the Hawaiian Problem is nearing a solution which will afford a tolerable modum vivendi, and good and stable government. We believe that in His own good time, the Lord will bring Hawaii out into a large place. �Some Reply. to Mr. Davies. We regret to feel it necessary to make The Friknd so largely a medium of political controversy, but find it unavoidable. It now seems necessary to take up an "open letter" of Mr. Theophilus H. Davies, of date in England, August 26th, in which he applies much castiga tion to our friends and ourselves. We do not propose to follow him into all his positions, leaving the refutation of much of those to the secular journals. Some thing seems necessary to be said, however, in defense of the political attitude of ourselves and our Christian brethren which Mr. Oavies so severely impugns, with a high tone of superiority and much misapplication of Scripture. We would thank our friend, however, for so emphatically advertising as he has done, the very weighty and significant fact, that the whole body of Evangelical Protestant Christians in these Islands are practically a unit against the native monarchy and for annexation. It seems to us that the weight of character of our body, and our unanimity of opinion should have rendered him more modest in sitting in judgment upon us, notwithstanding his eminent success in commercial pursuits. We are glad to acknowledge that Mr. Davies abstains from imputing to us wrong motives. In the same spirit we credit him with honest intentions, and with no doubt a sense of chivalry as well as of duty in doing battle for the supposed right of his ward the Princess Kaiulani. His responsibilities to her seem to us to have clouded his judgment as to the merits of the cause of Royalty in Hawaii —a cause which his moral instincts would otherwise have shown him to be a most pernicious one, and his business judgment a most impracticable one. His language in the following paragraph does honor to his right feeling: I hope no one will think that I under-rate the problems of corruption and perplexity with which the leaders at Honolulu had and have to deal. I am aware that they have on the side of annexation a large portion of the intelligence, energy and integrity of foreigners, and that many of the men whose action I feel bound to criticize so severely have been impelled as they thought by high principles and self-sacrificing motives. But good intentions cannot make up for erratic actions or for mistaken judg- " ment." To go right to the heart of the charge which Mr. Davies makes against us, the onus of his accusation is that we are conniving at offering to the United States "a stolen kingdom." This term he quotes from the New York Times. It means that the sovereignty of Hawaii which is tendered to the United States is not offered with the consent of a majority of the people of Hawaii, and that it is robbery of that people to convey what belongs to them without their [October, THE FRIEND. 74 The language of the Times article, which Mr. Davies seems to adopt, is an application of Democratic principles belonging to the mature and self governing American people, to the very different people of Hawaii. "From the people only are all just powers of "Title government to be derived." must be shown in the consent of the consent. governed." Mr. Davies certainly does not recognize the application of this extreme democratic principle to the subjects of British dominion. He knows that a vote of the people of Ireland would promptly throw off British sovereignty. England's 250 millions of subjects in India were never asked their consent, never would have given it, and would now unanimously reject England's beneficent rule. The consent was asked of none of the peoples inhabiting the Territories successively annexed to the United States, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, California, New Mexico, Arizona. In every case, the mass of the people were intensely opposed to the measure, except in Texas where Americans had swarmed in and perhaps constituted a majority. Yet no one questions the righteousness of such annexation, and its immense beneficence is conspicuous. The sadly wasting Hawaiian people have proved incapable of even main taining their own existence. No people were ever in greater need of friendly care and guardianship. Gentle, pliable, warm-hearted, they are fast dying out through sensual vice, superstition, and persistent ignorance in spite of schooling, preaching and training. They are not in a condition to be consulted as to their political destiny. Politically they are only children. They are to be dealt with in statu pupillari. That is the position which they have really never emerged from even in political form. The native Hawaiians have never held Under missionary legislative control. influence, a representation was granted to the people in the Legislature by the King. He took good care to reserve to himself the appointment of half the Legislature, the Nobles. The Legislature was always kept under the control of the King, and the people never allowed to exercise a control for which they were totally unfit. The then King having proved fatally incapable of governing, in 1887 the foreigners wrested from him the appointment of the Nobles, and placed it in the hands of a special Electorate with a high property qualification. The common people were not entrusted with rule, any more than before, because in their childishness and general incapacity, they were totally unfit for such rule. The people of Hawaii, if by that term is meant the natives, never were consulted about great affairs, and never could be. The proposition to ask tht.ir opinion now is a preposterous one, and is 1893. not dictated by any desire for the public good. We hold that the affairs of any people can be usefully and safely directed only by that portion of them who have sufficient intelligence and character to decide and act. The itk.ss of the native people ate destitute of such qualifications. They are babes in character and intellect. The best of their intelligent and capable men, the Kauhanes, Deshas, losepas, Kaluas, are eager for annex ation, as the safe harbor and refuge from the troubled sea of internal and external political turmoil, and from the unspeakable corruption of the monarchy which they know by intimate and pain ful experience. It seems to us that the people of Hawaii are truly represented by those who hold in their hands all the commercial and material interests of the country, and who now control the government by virtue of character and capacity. Those people have the right to speak in the name of the people of Hawaii, as much as a captain of a ship speaks for his ship's company, or the general for his army, or the teacher for his school, or the father for his family. When such true and competent representatives of the Nation of Hawaii as this Provisional Government tender its sovereignty to the United States, to call that "stealing" and "robbery" is mere railing. Their action was dictated by the highest consideration and most benevolent wishes towards all concerned. To point out the beneficence and the necessity of the annexation of Hawaii to the United States would carry this article beyond due limits, and may safely be left to discussion by others. Dedication of the Damien Monument. [l-'ron. the Honolulu Diocesan Magazink.] Our readers are aware that severa month ago a beautiful monument to the memory of Father Damien was sent out from England, being the gift of the National Leprosy Fund Association, of which the Prince of Wales is honorary president. This monument has been erscted at Kalaupapa, a few minutes walk only from the landing, within the grounds of the Bishop Home, facing the public road leading through Kalaupapa to Kalawao. It is of Aberdeen granite, an ornamented shaft surmounted with a Maltese Cross, pierced at the intersection of the arms like the old Celtic crosses, springs from a solid pedestal of the same material highly polished, which stands on three steps, on the face of which is deeply cut and gilded the following inscription in English and Hawaiian : Joseph llamikn I)k Veuster Horn Sti Janlarv, 1840.

S. Hawaii. Among them were the Pis Ex Capt. J. A. King, Minister of the Interior, His Ex. W. O. Smith, Attorney-General and President of the Board of Health; Councilor |. Emmeluth, Dr. C. T. Rodgers, Secretary of the Councils, the Bishop of Honolulu and Mrs. Willis. At 4:30 p.m., the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Panopolis and Vicar Apostolic of the Hawaiian Islands in his Episcopal habit took his station in front of the monument, attended by the Rev. Father Wendelin, and two acolytes (leper boys) from Father Wendelin's Church, in scarlet cassocks and cottas, bearing incense and holy water, the Rev. Father Conrady of Kalawao being among the spectators. The ceremony commenced with the leper band playing "Nearer my God to thee." Mr. Edmund Stiles, under secretary of the Foreign office, as delegate of the President of the Provisional Government, then came forward and read an eloquent and touch ing address in English, which our readers have doubtless already perused in the daily papers, and then delivered to the natives the substance of the address in their own tongue. The Monument was then unveiled, and the Bishop of Panopolis replied in a few appropriate words, accepting the memorial in the name of the Catholic Mission, and begging Mr. .Stiles to convey his heartfelt thanks to H. R. H. the Prince of Wales and to the Hawaiian Government for their appreciation of the good deeds of the good Father Damien, with whom he was associated for the first five years of his missionary life, being present when on his knees he asked Bishop Maigret to grant him leave to spend his life to the consolation of the lepers on Molokai. He spoke in the same strain in Hawaiian. The Bishop then proceeded with the service, and wilh prayer, incense, and holy water duly solemnized the dedication of the monument erected to the memory of one, of whom, to quote the words of the Bishop, "as also of the Fathers and Sisters now living at the Settlement we can truly repeat the words engraved on the monument,—Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." Nordhoff Flings a Boomerang. The following effort of Charles Nord- hoff in inventing accusations against "missionary children," is too ludicrous not to be noted in The Friend. There are several prominent and successful planters and agents among the sons ol former missionaries, perhaps one in twenty of the whole number connected THE FRIEND. with the sugar business. Mr. Nordhoff, however, identifies missionaries' sons as being the planters and charges upon them all the sins, real or alleged, of that enterprising and sometimes too grasping class of our citizens, of whom Claus Spreckels aims to be chief. In a letter of August 21st to the Herald he foolishly writes "Again, the census report for 1890, discussing the causes of loss of population in certain districts, remarks : 'The heaviest loss, both relatively and absolutely, is in Ka-u (Kah-oo). This is due partly to a consolidation of plantations, but chiefly to the policy of the planters in substituting Japanese with small or no families at all for Portuguese with wives and many children. "Now the 'planters' who are thus reported of, are largely the people who call themselves 'missionary children,' stockholders in sugar corporations." The "misleading" element in the above statement of Mr. Nordhoff, is that no missionary sons happen to have been interested in the Hilea and Hutchinson plantations in Kau, which are referred to. The funny part is that the owner of those plantations who consolidated them and fired out the Portuguese, was, so far from being a "missionary son,'' none other than the redoubtable Claus Spreckels himself who cooperated with Mr. Nordholf's labors against Annexation. This is about as awkwardly Rung a boomerang as ever a man shot himself with. The N. Y. Herald should employ some one to concoct lies about Hawaii who is less worn out in mind and body than poor Nordhoff. :— The Future Honolulu. Col. McArthur of the Troy Budget who visit us recently, sketches ourfuture, correctly we think, as follows : After that the Nicaragua canal shall be completed, the Pacific coast of the United States will have grown into a vast empire, there will be a wonderful development in the other islands and shores of the vast Pacific ocean, and speedily thereafter Honolulu will become the great stopping place for lines of steamers stretching out in converging rays like the spokes of a wheel in all directions marked by the compass, and then the City of the Isles will become a second Hongkong with a population in ten years after annexation to the United States of 10(1,000 inhabitants and many more after that. Honolulu is fated to a great future. There is no mistaking this tramp and trend of destiny. It is certainly coming. Honolulu will yet become a great winter resort, not only for the millions of people who will in- 75 habit the vast regions west of the Missisippi rivei on the American continent, but for other parts of the world. It will have advantages in climate, health and comfort with which other parts of the world are incomparable. Holy Cholera Well at Mecca. All Mohammedan pilgrim to Mecca ) the Jerusalem of Islam, their Holy City, are eager to drink and lave in the Holy well of Zem Z'\x\, which is in the heart of the city. They perform both operations simultaneously. Standing upon a flat stone over the well, each pilgrim has a bucket of the sacred fluid poured over him. He eagerly swallows all that he can catch of it, and the rest flows back into the well. E. Frankland writes to the London Times that he was received samples of the Zem Zin water through the India office and finds on analysing it, that it contains six times the amount of excrementitious matter that is contained in average London sewage. Col. Barchowsky Bey, consulting chemist to the Turkish government places the impurities of this water at a yet higher figure. He states that all filth in Mecca is buried in the earth and all the water that reaches this well has percolated through those masses of impurity. One tenth of all the pilgrims to Mecca die of cholera, and their companies spread it from that cholera center to all the surrounding countries. There is abundance of pure water in Mecca, but all pilgrims must partake of the Holy Well. A large part ofthe pilgrims are British subjects from India. British steamers are loaded with them. Yet England dares not place restrictions on this deadly pilgrimmage. Murderous Japanese Laborers. On the night of September Ist, the Japanese policeman at Ewa Plantation, named Okimoto Rinjiro, was called out of his room, when a mob of Japanese killed him by stabs and beating his head in with rocks. They had threatened his life for several days. His offense consisted in his activity in suppressing their gambling at night. Sixteen of the Japanese were arrested, eight of whom have since been released. 120 more declared themselves participants in the murder, and demanded also The same day they to be arrested. came up to town and repeated their demand at the Police Station, but were ordered to go back to their work. The repeated demands of Japan for her people here to share in the suffrage of the country, has naturally stirred up a disorderly and defiant disposition among some of them, which we are sure meets with no countenance from their officials. �76 The Board of Health at Kalawao. On the 11th inst., the members of the Board of Health spent the entire day at Kalawao. Other officials and visitors Their business accompanied them. and was general special inspection of Settlement, provision for the the Leper water supply and other needs, and es pecially settling about the conveyance to the Government, of all the kuleanas or land patches belonging to the old settlers of the place. Occasion was taken to unveil the Damien Monument. The Roman Catholic and Anglican Bishops were in attendance. We insert elsewhere the account of the ceremony as given by the latter. With the sentiments that inspired the erection of this monument we have the highest sympathy. Although our understanding of the facts as to Father Damien's peculiarities agrees with those stated by Dr. Hyde with no intent of publication, and with those subsequently published by Mr. Robert Louis Stevenson, the fact remains of his great devotion to the bodily relief of the lepers. His example has stimulated imitation by far more capable and qualified persons, in many leper retreats, and especially at Molokai. A prominent gentleman among that company of visitors stated to us that the lepers there were the jolliestset of natives he had seen anywhere. They are made extremely comfortable. All their necessities are well supplied. Their malady is a painless one, except as the vital organs are invaded in the latter stages. Medical treatment vastly mitigates the disease, although as yet it has failed to extirpate it. It is a great mercy to convey those suffering from this malady to any asylum where they can be doctored, fed and sheltered. THE FRIEND. The recent death of Mr. Richard Chute ol Minneapolis has been beard of with deep regret. During their visit in Honolulu last winter Mr. and Mrs. Chute made many warm friends. A warm tribute was paid to the memory of Mr. Chute by the Board of Trade of Minneapolis, of which he had been Pies ident at one time. Mr. Chute was an ardent sympathizer with the cause of the Annexation of Hawaii, and with all earnest Christian work. [October, Sweet Water of Pearl 1893. City.

A leper named Aikualani some five years ago shot and wounded an officer seeking to arrest him, and has since led an outlaw's life in the moun tains, in company with another leper. On the night of the 14th, he visited his house half a mile inland of the Ewa church, and fell into a furious quarrel with his wife. She seems to have been in a plot to arrest him, in which his rifle stock was broken. He shot her with the broken weapon, and in the early morning fired on other people and defied arrest by policemen sent down from the city. They got his children to leave the house, and a battle of two or three hours ensued in which the head officers were nearly grazed by the leper's shots. The thin boarding of the cottage was riddled, and the wretched leper shot in the head. He was utterly defiant and fought with maimed hands and broken rifle. Many joints of fingers and toes had crumbled with the disease. Aikua lani had been a school teacher. He and his wife were above the average natives in intelligence. The three children are interesting. They have relatives to care for them, but should be looked after by the authorities. It is most pitiful that this poor man should have regarded deportation to Molokai as such an evil, when he would only have enjoyed comfort there. 77 Fourteen lepers about the same date surrendered who had been hiding for years in Wainiha valley on Kauai in great poverty and misery. Three of them were too far gone to be brought away to Molokai. They had heard Irom the Kalalau lepers bow very comfortable they had been made, and were glad to seek the same relief. Notwithstanding these evils attending the policy of segregation, no one familiar with social conditions among Hawaii.ms can well doubt that failure to enforce that policy would result in a wide and rapid spread of the disease among not only natives but foreigners. When the story of the Worlds Fair is impartially written up we think it will appear that most of its troubles and losses have originated along the Midway Plaisance. The loudest clamor for Sunday opening was heard on that thoroughfare, and now it transpires, according to the New York Mail ami Express, that the effort of the directory to get the Clingman suit withdrawn or the injunction dissolved, is opposed solely at the expense of "concessionaires" who alone profit by open gates on Sunday. An open Sunday entails thousands of dollars of expense on the treasury, but it brings money into the coffers of Midway Satyrs, and they have raised $S,.'>UU to pa}' attorney's fees to keep up the fight. It is a case of poetic justice. The directors have themselves to blame for permitting heathen pimps to pander within an inclosure dedicated to an Exposition of four centuries of human progress. They are finding out that "He who lies down with dogs, gets up with fleas," and they will get small sympathy from the general public.— North Pacific Advocate. If all the grocers of your town were to leave some morning, you would want other grocers to come and fill their places at once. If your shoe dealers would leave, you would welcome others in their places. If your doctors, and preachers, and teachers would move away, it would be a loss to the town. Hut suppose all the saloon-keepers would leave. Would you be any worse off? Wouldn't you have a sober town? Wouldn't the money that went for liquor go to the grocer, the bntcher and the shoe dealer ? To say that saloons are a benefit to a town, either financially or morally, is the rankest kind of nonsense' and every honest man knows better. Outlook. — RECORD OF EVENTS. Sept.

Bingham arrivedssfely in Honolulu on Sept. 39, after an absence of a year and a half. Over one year was spent in New York city, whereas we have before recorded, Dr. Binghsm and his wife carried through the press of the American Bible Society his completed translation of the entire Scriptures into the Gilbert Island language. Copies of the hook were received here sometime ago, a beautiful volume. Large editions of this will undoubtedly be sold to the natives of that group, who are eagerly awaiting its coining. On his way hither, Dr. Bingham at tended at Chicago B few sessions of the World's Congress of Religions, and is the first person to bring a personal reThe fust port of them to Honolulu. testimony of allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ made in that Congress, was by a nearly black, but noble looking l'arsee lady from Bombay. The many eminent representatives of Christian Churches who had preceded her, had withheld their testimony to their Lord and King, Speaking Only of the Heaven Father, common to all the Great Keli gioflS. Until the l'arsee convert spoke, Jesus seemed to be left without a witness. The Rev. A. V. Soares, Pastor of the Protestant Portuguese Church in Honolulu, returned two weeks ago from Hilo, where he and Mrs. Soares haveenjoyed a month's vacation, much need ed, especially by Mrs. S. While at Hilo, Mr. Soares rendered important service to the Portuguese Church there, which owing to the absence of its pastor, is much in need of pastoral care. It comprises a membership of over eighty, with congregations of one hundred. Key. Mr. Baptist the pastor had been heard from among his kindred in Illinois. He had returned thus far from his visit to Madeira, where he had seen many of the relatives of his church members, Through the very great kindness of Mr. C. (!. Kennedy of Hilo, Mr. and Mrs. Soares were enabled to enjoy a week's sojourn at the Volcano House, in its cool, delicious climate, and to see the great wonder of the lire-lake. Mr. Soares' own church now numbers about 35 members. More are soon to unite. The Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary schools for Portuguese child ren, connected with this church, and under the instruction of the Misses 79 THE FRIKNn. 10.] Fernandez, Camara, and Pereira, num her about I "JO pupils, taught in the English language. These are well ordered schools in pleasant rooms, but rather crowded. Mr. Baptist's church numbers over eighty members. No schools are connected with it. Rev. O. P. Emerson, the Corresponding Secretary ofthe Hawaiian Board, is absent on a three months furlough in the Pastern U. S, His return is due in November. While away, this page is made up by the editor of the KrIBND. Rev. C. M. Hyde, D.D., is expected to arrive home in Honolulu at the end of October. He and Mrs. Hyde reach ed New York early in September on their return from a rapid tour in England and Europe with a "specially i onduct ed" party. This pleasure was given them by the kindness of a friend. Chinese Church and Mission Work. All hour spent October Ist with our dear Chinese brothers and sisters at the Lord's Table, gave delightful impres-sions as to the good progress and prosperity existing in their Christian life. Ihe improvements in their Church edifice appear to be Completed. The well known old organ of Port Street Church is there still rolling out rich tones under Chinese hands, although it looks only half as large as it used to eyes accustomed to the great new organ in Central Union Church. A well trained choir of Chinese sang familiar times. Baptism was administered to seven young babes and one adult. With all honor to our Baptist brothers, we must tell it, that our hearts go out more Warmly to these little lambs everytime hands to holy sprinkling are laid upon them; and the more clearly do we feel that this is in accord with the heart and mind of the Lord. The Mission Schools connected with this Church have reopened for the year. One hundred and seventy scholars are in actual attendance in the well graded departments. Our brother, Mr. r, W. Damon, has every reason for gratitude, in the great success and progress of the work under his care and superintend ence. "Why Don't Ministers Preach About It?" REV.S BYBRISTOL. The topic of our Sunday School lesson of July 30th was the "Baptism of the Holy Ghost, or the Reception of the Spirit by Believers in Gospel Measures." During the discussion of the subject a lady in my Bible class, who had become deeply interested, earnestly put to nic the above question, "Why don't ministers preach about it?" What COUrd I Bay? What answer give? Could I truly say tin) don't believe there are these rich measures of the spirit within our reach? or, believing, have had no experience in that line, and so leel disqualified to preach about it to others? or, that having had experience and believing, they fear that in doing so they would expose themselves to the charge of innovation and singularity? Bret hi en, how could I answer the question? I pass it over to ynu. Will you, each of you, reading this article in The Pacific, take it home as a personal question? Why have I not preached to my people on this important gospel Ihcine? Won't YOU pray over it, and ask the Holy Ghost to show you if you have been at fault in this matter; il you have kept hack from your people an important part of Ihe counsel ol (iod? You have preached on water baptism, what it signifies, its importance as a Christian I ite, and how adults can become proper subjects of it. But there is the baptism of the Holy-Ghost. It is vastly more important than that of (Jul great High I'liest alone watei. administers it. "He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with lire.'' That he did so at the day of Pentecost, with Wonderful results, we all admit; also in days following in Jerusalem, in Samaria, at Casarea, in F.phesus, and elsewhere, wherever Paul and Peter and Philip, and their brethren, proclaimed the gospel of their risen Lord. Wonderful were the results ol that bap tism. What new men it made out of the apostles and their brethren; new in their personal living, and new in success and efficiency of labor. It will be admitted that the great change came from a baptism of the Holy Ghost, administered by the risen Christ. "If I go away I will send him to you." Peter saul of the risen Christ: "Having received ol the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he bath shed forth this which ye now see and hear.'' Brethren, does this great High Priest still exercise his office of baptising wih the Holy Ghost and with lire, or did he lay aside his robes and retire from his office when thd last of the apostles died and the Christian Church had become planted and established? "No, no!" I hear you say. Our Redeemer, as Paul said, "continueth forever, and hath an unchangeible priesthood," and the great and most prominent part of his work is "to baptize with the Holy Ghost." You fully believe he baptizes now; that many have received it and that all need it and might have it, would they seek it as they should and as divinely directed; that he is more willing to give the Holy Spirit than parents to give good and needful gifts to their children. Why, then, brethren, don't you preach about that great baptism, which wrought such wonders in the early Church? �[October, 1893.

Christian peace is unclouded azure in a lake of glass. It is the soul which Christ has specified, spread out in serenity and simple faith, and the Lord God, merciful and gracious, smiling over it.

A Divine Providence, a controlling influence works in all human affairs There are occasions when more than at other times, we are made to feel that events are produced by a direction beyond human planning or foresight. Such a condition of affairs is that now prevailing in the powerful and wealthy nation of the United States. In the midst of abounding wealth, with their agricultural industries in the highest state of production, the land teeming with mines and manufactories, the nation is suddenly struck with a financial palsy, a business paralysis. It is so severe and pervading, that wealthy centers filled with banks are unable to make drafts or carry on exchanges with each other. The money is in the country. The property is all there. But a sudden panic of distrust has so befogged their holders, that they cannot proceed in the established channels of commercial action. Great houses and corporations go down like the tumbling of rows of blocks. One feels that the Hand of God is upon the nation. It is well for them, for us, for all men to be mindful of that loving, holy, awful Power above us Who can turn the minds and hearts of men The Blue Book accusation against the English missionaries in the New Hebrides of selling rum and fire arms to natives, when that trade has always been one of their greatest griefs, and the object of their deepest hostility, very fairly parallels Charles Nordhoff's impudent charge that the supporters of the Provisional Government in Honolulu were advocates of the Lottery Bill, when for months they had been strenuously denouncing that measure. Both these "misleading statements" are fine sample instances of the force of the name Diabolos or "false accuser," applied to Satan as the accuser of the brethren. The Kauai Industrial School. By an oversight, we omitted the publication of this valuable report in The Friend for August. This school is very dear to the hearts of its founders, who are putting into it a great strength of love and labor, and are making it a great educational power for Hawaiian boys, notwithstanding their lack of pecuniary means. It is such struggling, earnest work as this, which very commonly produces the most effective results, because it impresses itself so deeply upon the hearts and lives of the pupils. They are made to feel the per sonal power of loving sacrifice and devotion, as in the earlier years of Oberlin and Mt. Holyoke. Such schools have a noble future. 185)3. 65 The Friend. Number 9. New Wing of the Bishop Museum. The new wing of the museum is 42x65 feet, and when completed will cost in the neighborhood of $100,000, giving an additional space nearly three times that of the present structure. Prof. Brigham says the new addition has been constructed and especially arranged for a museum, and when ready for occupancy, in connection with the old portion, will far exceed any building in the world used for museum purposes. As an evidence of stability of the new wing, the walls are made double thickness and the floors in the basement are from six to eight feet in depth. The foundations in some places are as deep as fourteen feet. A large collection of shells numbering some two hundred and fifty varieties has been recently received as a gift from Mr. Bishop, upon which Professor Brigham is now engaged classifying and preparing for exhibition. Among the many improvements made recently at the museum are four large plate glass frames five and one-half feet high, and five feet wide, in which are kept the valuable feather cloaks which belonged to the Kamehamehas and which are valued at $100,-000 each. The glass for these frames cost the government more than $125. P. C. Advertiser. — The Treasury Balance has increased $60,000 during the month of August. The payment of salaries, however, at the end of the month will have taken off the larger half of this increase. Liberal expenditures for public works have been going on during the month. The financial condition of the government is excellent, and its position in every way is strong and assured. A Pleasant Reception was given by the ladies of Central Union Church on Tuesday, the 22d, to Rev. W. Rader of Oakland, who has ministered very acceptably, occupying the pulpit for four Sabbaths. The parlors were well filled ) about 200 guests being present. �66 THE FRIEND. [September, 1893.

Fine steamers now ply between all ports of the islands, affording satisfactory assurance of a speedy trip, with all conveniences and Comforts. And to a still greater degree are the improvements in our communications with the outside world. In place of the occasional vessel to and from the Mexican or South American Coast, with a foreign mail oftentimes six months en route, we have now our regular sail and steam lines with San Francisco, bringing us oftentimes the events of the world in sin days, with regular packets with other Pacific Coast ports, the Colonies. China ami Japan, Boston, Liver- pool, 1!n men, etc. some few 11l things we have perhaps retrograded in the past quarter century, but though our harbor has not boasted sheltering 200 ships at a time since the "palmy days" in the early fifties, we can show growth to a more uniform and substantial basis, both commercially and financially, than the dependence upon the whaling fleet allowed. During the seven years of plenty at these islands from the visits and refitting of whale ships, from IS'i.i to 1889-, the value of our annual imports ranged between $1,029,669 to $1,590,837, and our exports from $472,996 to $'.i:t 1 ,:t-'9, of which latter from one-third to one-half were foreign re exports. The customs revenues during the same period averaged less than $ I -10,000 per annum, and the internal taxes ranged at about $01,000 a year. 'The annual taxes the past few years have exceeded halt a million dollars, and the customs receipts keep still ahead each year. The value of our domestic exports the past ten years, which has ranged from $8,133,344 to $13,874,341, has st times more than doubled the total imports each year. Our industries, almost wholly agncul tural, which may he safely said now to exceed $15,000,0011 per annum, have developed since the decline of the whaling fleet, and largely within the past twenty years. 'The Custom House gives no figures of exports values for 1843, hence, the above development is entirely with in the period of The Friends existence. May the next fifty years witness as satisfactory advancement. THE FRIEND. First Mention of the Puritans. I have in my posession a detailed account of the tempei of parties in England, drawn up in the year 1885, three years before the Armada came. 'The writer was a distinguished Jesuit. The account itself was prepared for the use of the Pope and Philip, with a special view to the reception which an invading force would meet with, and it goes into great detail. 'The people of the towns London, Bristol, etc.—were, he s.ivs, generally heretics. The peers, the gentry, their tenants, and peasantry, who formed the immense majority of the population, were almost universally Catholics. But this writer distinguishes properly among Catholics. There were the ardent, impassioned Catholics, ready to be confessors and martyrs, ready to rebel at the first opportunity, who had renounced their allegiance, vvho desired to overthrow Elizabeth and put the Queen of Scots in her place. The number of these, he says, was daily increasing, owing to the exertions of the seminary priests ; and plots, he boasts, were being continually formed by them to murder the Queen. 'There were Catholics of another sort, who were papal at heart, but went with the times to save their property, who looked forward to a change in the natural order of things, but would not stir of themselves till an invading army actually appeared. But all alike, he insists, were eager tor a revolution. Let the Prince of Parma come, and they would all join him ; and together these two classes of Catholics made three fourths of the nation. "The only party" he says (and this is really noticeable), "the only party that would tight to death for the Queen, the only real friends she had, were the Puritans (it is the first mention of the name which I have found); the Puritans of London, the Puritans of the sea towns." 'These, he admits, were dangeri his, desperate, determined men. The numbers of them, however, were providentially small. The date of this document is, as I said, 1885, and I believe it generally 'The only mistake is that accurate. among the Anglican Catholics there were a few to whom their country was as dear as their creed -a few who were beginning to see that under the Act of Uniformity Catholic doctrine might be taught and Catholic ritual practised ; who adhered to the old forms of religion, but did not believe that obedience to the Pope was a necessary part of them. One of these was Lord Howard of Effingham, whom the Queen placed in his high command to secure the wavering fidelity of the peers and country gentlemen. But the 67 Vol. 51, No. 9.] force, the fire, the enthusiasm came (as the Jesuit saw) from the Puritans, from men of the same convictions as the Cal vmists of Holland and Kochelle; men who, driven from the land, took to the ocean as their natural home, and nursed the Reformation in an ocean cradle. 7. A. Frouile in Longman's. — Enlisting Japanese for Guatemala. Captain Walter 11. Ferguson has been in Honolulu for several weeks past, en- gagingJapaneselaborers to go under con tract to work on coffee pi nt.itions in Guatemala. He has secured about IM| whom he proposes to forward .is an advance- party. Captain Ferguson 111, iv be remembered as the party vvho last year secured a shipful of laborers from the Gilbert Islands, and conveyed them to Guatemala on the steamer Montserrat. 'There was n ii .plaint of fraud in securing the l.ihoiers, which was done under the observation of a British War-ship. They appear also to have been veiy well treated on the voyage. It is alleged that there has been great mortality among on the plantations in Guatemala. Of the truth of this we know nothing. 'The Japanese Consul and other authem thoi ities here are greatly opposed to their countrymen going to Guatemala, with which country Japan has no treaty to secure them against ill usage. One Antone Cloys and others have written to the papers denouncing the ill-treatment and hard fare of contract laborers there. Professor W. T. Brigham who is a high authority, also gives unfavorable testimony. The general character of both social and political conditions in Central America gives strong presumption against security and protection being well assured by law to contract laborers from foreign lands. They are a class easily oppressed and needing strong and upright rulers and magistrates to secure their rights. Captain Ferguson has caused Antone (Hoys to be prosecuted for criminal libel, as well as the editor of the paper in which Cloys' statement appealed. It is certainly important to the cause of justice and humanity that all such enterprises as those of Captain Ferguson should be thoroughly scrutinized. Journalists who aid in doing this are rendering an eminent public service. Ferguson and his attorney Paul Neumann were conducting their operations with a secrecy which no doubt may be quite consistent with honorable and humane intentions. Yet in view of the past terrible abuses attending labor shipments, we are glad that the Star and the Advertiser have turned their search lights upon the whole business. �68 Departure of Minister Blount.

About the middle of the month the Government began to receive specific information of the ripening of a second active conspiracy to overthrow the Pro visional Government and to restore the Queen. The recources of the conspirators were totally inadequate, and their scheme foolhardy, and unlikely to be actually attempted. It was thought, however, the proper thing to have the facts reported in an informal manner to Admiral Skerrett, he being the chief official Representative of the United States in the absence of an American Minister. This was done on the evening of the 17th. Although the Government needed no help and asked for none, the Admiral sent instant orders to the Boston and the Adams to be prepared for an immediate landing of their forces at any time. The plans of the conspirators involved dynamite explosions and firing of the city in many places simultaneously, giving occasion for carrying out the standing order as given by Mr. Bayard in 1887, "to protect the lives and property of Americans, and to maintain pub lie order." The shore liberty of the men was stopped for four days, in order to keep them in readiness. The Government at the same time placed its special patrols on duty, and took other measures as provided. This attitude of the Governmentand especially of the naval forces had the effect of disheartening the conspirators. The ac tivity of the Admiral on the side of order had a particularly discouraging effect upon their adherents. No arrests are likely to be made. Al though there is a moral certainty as to the leaders concerned, it is quite another thing to establish their complicity before a jury, as has been cltarly shown in the acquittal last week of the conspirators arrested June 23d. An important result of this affair has been secured, in establishing the fact of a virtual protection of the Provisional Government or something very much like it, being exercised by the United States forces. Although the American flag was taken down on April Ist, its protection appears to be resumed. Deepening the Upper Harbor. The Dredger has been at work the past fortnight near Brewer's wharf at the upper end of the harbor, deepening the water at the wharves so as to admit the larger ships without obstruction. The mud is discharged upon the unfilled grounds of the Oahu Railway Company. Numbers of native boys are there saving the old bones pumped out, which bring half a cent a pound. Many old coins are pumped up. An old anchor and chain proved too heavy for the suction pipe, besides stopping the revolving cutter which roots up the mud. 69 THE FRIEND The Volcano Road. By latest reports we learn that carri nearly to the 24th mile post. The remaining seven miles traverse much better ground where the road should make rapid progress. In November 1790, the region around the crater was covered with gravel by a tremendous'explosive eruption. A large part of the uneven prominences of the pahoehoe lava were buried by the gravel. The road is now entering this smoother gravel district. The Olaa crown land lots fronting on the road, according to the /'. C. Advertiser, have all been leased, and many of them are being cleared and planted. By a condition in the leases, the forest is to be left standing for a depth of 250 feet from the road, excepting in front of the dwelling houses. The Kona Coffee Company have leased 24 lots of 50 acres each in Olaa. 200 acres have already been prepared for planting coffee, and 500,000 young plants are growing from the seed in the nursery. Philip Peck has leased a tract of 48 lots or 2400 acres, for a coffee estate. The surveyor E. D. Baldwin reports I 13,750 young coffee trees now growing on the Olaa Crown lots, and fifty buildings erected. All this is a small beginning of the results to flow from opening this rich but in accessible country by means of a good road connecting it with a sea port at Hilo. Some of the finest lands are in the rear of those which are staked out; but they are now wholly inaccessible until a branch road shall be built, or what will be better, a new and shorter route to Kilauea be opened, several miles north of the present road which makes a long detour to the southward. 'There are great tracts of rich moist clinker forest lands in that region admirably adapted to raising products of the temperate zone, such as potatoes, apples, peaches and the like, as well as coffee. These lands are from 2000 to 3500 feet in elevation, and are destined to be the garden spot of the Islands. All these go to show that Hilo is superior to every other sea port in the islands in the ex tent and richness of its back country. It has a great future, and we believe, not a distant one. ages now run Kilauea Active. The latest report from Kilauea is that last Sunday eve, the 27th, the ten acre fire-lake welled up mightily in a huge tide of fire, overflowing and carrying away all the parapet walls it had built up. and filling up the entire bottom of Halemaumau, converting the whole hundred acres into a broad sheet of surging lava. This was the biggest show since the last collapse three years ago. At the rate the bottom of Halemaumau has been rising or filling up, it cannot be many months before the lava will get high enough to commence burrowing out through tunnels and pouring out over the open floor of the main crater. This will initiate a new period and style of exhibit, one more interesting in some respects than the present; but the show is likely to become less accessible and convenient to visitors. Indeed there cannot be anything at Kilauea much grander than the great firtlake playing its fountains as now. Acquittal of Sinclair and Walker. These two men who were arrested near the end of June on the charge of conspiracy, were acquitted by a jury vote of 9to 3, on the 25th. The evidence was perhaps hardly sufficient to create such a certainty of their guilt as to secure an adverse verdict from an ordinary jury. The great object of the arrest, however, had been gained in the disorganizing of the conspiracy, and the securing of a good degree of public tranquillity in place of the disquiet and alarm fostered by the frequent boasting of the conspirators. A Sad and Singular Fatality on the 27th befel a young native named Hanuwela, or Hunnewell. He had been for several months employed as marker at a 500 yard target at Kakaako beach, where he sat protected by a bulkhead made of a double casing of plank filled with sand. It was his own duty to inspect the bulkhead and see that it and the sand were in safe condition. When the shooting began, he failed to make the signal, and was found lying dead behind the bulkhead. The high tide had undermined the casing, and partly washed out the sand. He had neglected inspection, and an ill-aimed shot had made the most of its evil opportunity and found the heart of the hapless youth. Hanuwela had been an esteemed pupil One of the Kamehameha School. might moralize much on such an incident. The Hawaiian Star gives a statement made by "a prominent employee of Claus Spreckels" that he had "transferred all his property on these Islands to his sons and daughter, so as to put it beyond the reach of any possible confiscation." This seems to refer to the allegation that Mr. Spreckels was in complicity with schemes to overthrow the Provisional Government. The Star goes on to give the substance of a deed Three thousand bunches of bananas of Mr. Spreckels recorded July 14th, 1893, conveying to his daughter a large were delivered from Ewa to the steamer number of pieces of real estate in this Australia last week by the Oahu Railway. city. �70 THE FRIEND RECORD OF EVENTS.

Juliette Smith. Malumalu, Kauai, July Ist, 1893. Dr. J. G. Paton Slandered. The latest complaint against Protestmissions in that quarter is leveled against Dr. J. G. Eaton, it would appear. It is official, being printed in a recent blue book. The charge is that the New Hebrides missionaries sell intoxicating drinks and firearms to the natives; and further, that they go away from their stations on holiday, in marked contrast with the Roman Catholic "Fathers," who are spoken of as sticking to their work. Now the simple facts are that the priests made no attempt to settle in the New Hebrides so long as their lives or property were exposed to danger. It was left to British Presbyterian missionaries to face the dangers of the situation, in which six of them lost their lives. It was only after they had made 15,000 converts, and thus rendered life and property secure in twenty islands of the group, that the French appeared on the scene; and as for any real converts, these "fathers" have made none at all. The Protestant missionaries are all abstainers; and, so far from selling rum and firearms to the islanders, Dr. Eaton was sent here to America to endeavor to secure our consent to the prohibition of that traffic. "The other nations Dr. Eaton says interested have said they will agree with Britain in this prohibition if America agrees to it. But as America has hitherto refused to agree, these curses of humanity—used by all traders there except the British—are causing much misery and loss of life. The whole responsibility of these evjls for some years has now appeared to rest on Christian America. But her good President and those under him are now reconsidering the whole question, and we hope God will lead him and them ere long to enter this clamant prohibition, and lead all the Powers interested for humanity's sake to agree, and so save our dear islanders from extermination through the greed of gain—at any cost—of godless traders." Dr. Paton is of the opinion that this attack upon his errand to America and Protestant missions is inspired by the French traders, or by the N. Y. traffickers in Kanaka labor. ant : Evangelist. — �72 [September, THE FRIEND. Kawaiahao Seminary. There seems tp be reason to felicitate the trustees and patrons of this honored and favored school for its prospects for the coming year. The capable Princi pal arrived last week from her tour East whither she was sent last May to study school work, and also to secure a new corps of teachers. She has brought with her seven ladies selected mostly from the excellent state of Ohio, and some of them from the well approved Oberlin. We doubt not they will prove all that could be desired, and that the school will receive a noble impulse under their efforts. With the improved prospects of the Hawaiian people in the removal of the corrupting influences of the Monarchy, our Girls' schools rightly supported, will contribute essentially to the uplifting of the people.

Not lung before his death, the eminent Dr. Morell Mackenzie denounced the London College of Physicians and Surgeons for having declared leprosy not to be contagious. He charged them with having become the active cause of ■ recent great diffusion of leprosy, especially in the British colonies, by inducing a general relaxation of efforts to segregate the lepers. Hawaii is now dangerously threatened with a like evil, through the manifesto of a leading physician of Honolulu, who declares hinself convinced that leprosyis hut slightly contagious, and segregation needless. Long doubtful, he has become fully converted by a Report of an Indian Leprosy Commission. To older residents in Hawaii who persona ly witnessed the dissemination of this loathsome disease among the native people from its first appearance in the Islands, the conclusions arrived at by this Indian Commission seem prepos ' vis and eminently pernicious. The Editor of Thi Friend personally observed the process of dissemination in Lahaina from 40 to 30 years ago. The very first case in these Islands was a 57 Number 8. chief in Premier Auhea's household, who has prevailed for many thousand years, had been abroad, where he contracted so that most of the people inherit imleprosy.

For this work there are at present in the field two families one man a physician giving all Ijis time to a dispensary which treats over 15,000 cases per annum, with several hundred severe cases in the hospital.

The quality of our membership has been steadily rising for a decade, with the dropping of main- 'stony ground' adherents, some of them taken on in the 'days of ignorance' following the great famine in 1878, We have followed the political kaleidoscope of Hawaii with eager interest, but we do not yet see what combination of colors is to wine The Friend is to us a light in a dark place, after reading contradictory and unintelligible Reuters telegrams in China papers.

It is six years since we last crossed the Pacific, nor should we be taking the; long journey if considerations of education and health did not required. In that period of time great changes have come to the Pacific coast of the United States, to the Hawaiian Islands, and even to China. The great missionary Conference in Shanghai in 1890, was the indirect means of great expansion in the ranks of missionary workers. While it is not likely that a thousand will have been added within five years—as asked for the attention of all the leading societies has been called in a forcible manner to the needs and difficult}' ofthe field. As heretofore, the greatest increase has been in the ranks of the China Inland Mission, which is now a vast network Mr. Neumann's Manifesto. to the outermost bounds of the Empire and doing a most useful preparatory Mr. Paul Neumann was in February work.

All this would have been taken at. once for mere vaporing, only that Mr. Neumann is not wont to expend his breath or ink without some practical object, at least to gain a fee thereby. No notice of Mr. Neumann's letter has been taken by Mr. Dole, nor has much comment been offered upon it by the daily papers. Neither has Mr. Neumann as yet followed up the impression made by farther manifesto or other action, so that the public is still in the dark as to the plan of campaign of which this declaration may have formed the beginning. It seems most probable that with the ignominious collapse of the dynamite conspiracy, and the retirement of Mr. Spreckels from the scene of political activity here, Mr. Neumann does not find the conditions propitious for a further movement upon the enemy. As, however, Mr. Spreckels is understood to be on his way to Washington, whither the contention over Hawaiian issues seems again about to be transferred, it remains to be seen what method of attack he may there pursue. The Provisional Government in the meantime have met Mr. Neumann's demand for positive action in a different way, The cause of delay having been removed lis Mr. Blount having completed his important mission of inquiry, the Government have hastened to prepare for a resumption of negotiations for Annexation by sending forward Prof. Alexander to assist Minister Thurston therein. It may be remarked that the official submission of any public question to a plebiscitum of the Hawaiian people would be an entirely novel proceeding. Their native rulers reluctantly gave them only a very limited voice in the Legislature. The)' have never possessed the power to elect more than one half of the members of that body, nor has it ever been deemed safe to entrust them with a larger share of political power. No suggestion of a plebiscitum appears to have emanated from Washington at any time. It seems to have wholly originated here among the opThe only offiponents of annexation. cial intimation of the propriety of such a measure of which we know, was the quasi-demand made by the British Representative, who with due respect to his high position and character, cannot be supposed to have spoken in behalf of the interests or desires of the United States. not �Vol.* 51.

' It is perhaps not strange, yet deeply to be regretted that general public sentiment among the native Hawaiians is opposed to the segregation of the lepers, and tends to sympathize with their resistance to arrest. This feeling, in which theirnative sovereigns have somewhat participated, has always stood in the way of thoroughly carrying out segregation. As the consequence, the progress of infection among the people has never been effectually arrested, and there is no doubt that thousands of new cases of leprosy have occurred, which thor ough segregation for the pas' twenty years would have prevented. the arrest of all the lepers at Kalalau, except Koolau. The latter was brought to bay upon a ledge high up on a precipice, and protected by dense thicket and forest. In two attacks made upon his stronghold, on successive days, he shot the leading soldier.

American Interests in Hawaii. Minister of Finance Damon has pub lished statistics showing that the investments in Hawaii in incorporated and business firms amount to 37 millions of dollars -in a total property value of over 50 millions. Of the 37 millions, the Americans including those born here, own over 26 millions, or 70 per cent. All whites together own ( .»7'.. percent ofthe property of the business firms and corporations. Natives and half-castes own barely half a million of these business interests, Asiatics representing the balance. Of non-commercial property such as land and dwellings, undoubtedly natives own a respectable proportion. There is a considerable number of mechanics among them. From the enormous predominance of white property and business interests in Hawaii, it will easily be understood that whatever claim the native may have in justice to govern the country as he has done in the past, it is the inevitable tendency that the white man should take the conduct of public affairs into his own hands. The best class of natives recognize tiiis inevitable necessity and are wise enough to cooperate with it. The more ignorant or headstrong recalcitrate and seek to assert the prerogative of the native and his chiefs. It was the misfortune of the ex-queen, that she was unable to recognize the necessity of ruling under white guidance, but was determined to be supreme at any cost. Otherwise she might have continued to reign undisturbed. It is obvious that the participation of the natives in the government of the country will be much more favored under the United States laws than it can well be under an independent republic. Forest Denudation. Commissioner Marsden, of the Bureau of Agriculture and Forestry, makes an important report upon the drying up of the formerly very moist district of Hamakua, Hawaii, in consequence ofthe denudation of the ancient forest by sheep and cattle. He proposes active measures already being concerted, for the government and the planters to protect the remaining forest as well as portions of the denuded lands on which the bush will naturally grow again. We well remember when in 1836, Waimea plains were largely covered with a low forest, while a great belt of heavy woods covered the slopes to the eastward. The road to Waipio through this belt was a very difficult one by reason of deep mud and heavy jungle. �60 THE FRIEND. Rev. Dr. C. M. Hyde An Alleged "Murder Society." Writes from Ware under date of June 22nd. His letter is a varied one. Experiences on the Canadian Pacific route were delightful, exceeding anticipations. In Puget Sound "the morning sail towards the towering ice peaks was like journeying towards the pearly gates of purity and peace." The scenery of the Canyon of Frazer River most sublime. "The day at Banff Hot Springs was one long to be remembered." At Chicago "was most impressed by the ride in the Electric Launch around the Lagoon and Basin, getting a view from the water of all the Exhibition Buildings." He great ly admired the preaching of Mr. Hillis of the Presbyterian Church. "Coming on to Ware, found the heat reaching On the departure of Mr. Clans Spreckels from Honolulu, a cane was presented him upon the handle of which was inscribed these among other words, "Doomed to die by the Murder Society of the Annexation Club." How serious the author of that inscription was, is not curtain. He has since stated that it was "a grim joke." As circumstances have given this 'joke" an exceptional notoriety, we deem it necessary to notice the very severe accusation made. The Honolulu correspondent of the Associated Press reported to the American papers that on the discovery of the dynamite conspiracy oi the royalists, certain members of the Annexation Club had organized with the agreement that in case ofthe royalist plan being carried out, they would kill certain leading royalists, a list of whose names was given. The receipt of this report here, was a great surprise to all parties. It is entirely certain that the officers ofthe Annexation Club knew nothing ol the matter. It also appears to be certain that no organization of the sort alleged ever existed. There was probably some wild talk among the volunteeis who were called out on active guard'and patrol duty Such talk always occurs in such times of excitement. There seems no reason to believe that any organization was formed. The ill founded report however was eagerly laid hold of and embodied in the inscription upon the cane, attended by circumstances on which it is at present premature to comment. The Revolution in our Government has been attended by no serious public disorder or injury to lif or property. The record of our community has been in the highest degree creditable, and will doubtless continue so. Hawaiian Commissioner Alexander. The Provisional Government have appointed Professor W. D. Alexander as their Commissioner to assist Minister Thurston at Washington in farther negotiations for a treaty of annexation to the United States. Mr. Alexander took passage on the S. S. Monowai July 28th. It is considered probable that President Cleveland's administration having received Mr. Blount's report, will now take up the subject for consideration and action. It is understood that intimations to that effect have been received by Mr. Thurston, and the government are very hopeful of a favorable result. Mr. Alexander's most conspicuous qualifications for this service, are his very high personal characterand intelligence, and hisspecial knowledge as an expert in the social and political history of the Hawaiian Islands. He is the author of the standard History of Hawaii, containing theresults of great original research. For some years he has been the Acting President of the Board of Education, and greatly relied upon in the Councils of the government.

Postal Savings Bank, and Financial Confidence. This institution in Honolulu is probably the most noticeable measure ol public confidence in the Government. During the (Queen's resistance to the Legislature last Autumn, the withdrawals of deposits were so large as to greatly embarrass the Treason. This distrust was arrested by the appointment of the Wilcox-Jones cabinet. No in crease of withdrawals followed the revo lution of January. Subsequent events have, however, served to prevent a full restoration of confidence until this past month when.the evidences of the strength of th« government have grown so manifest that a rapid increase of deposits is going on. This is bringing needed relief to the Treasury, and sets free funds required for public works. �Vol. 51, No. B.] 61 THE ERIEND. Minister Blount examines Pearl Harbor. Sunday Attendance at the Fair. Six Months Old. On Saturday, July 23d, a party, consisting of Ministei Blount, Captain Nelson of the U. S. S. Adams, President Dole, Chief Justice Judd, Hon. W. P. Allen, P. C. Jones, Mr. Wright and Secretary Ellis Mills left the wharf in the yacht Hawaii under the command of Luther Wilcox for Pearl Harbor. The lines were cast off at 9:15 a. m. and the party arrived at Puuloa at 10:45 a. m. after a pleasant run over. After arrival at the future United States naval station the party sailed up the west loch to shoal water, and returning, proceeded to the peninsula wharf, where a landing was made for luncheon. After the inner man had been satisfied the party again boarded the yacht and sailed entirely around Ford's island, and reluming again, touched at the Peninsula wharf, where Minister Blount, Cap tain Nelson, Hon. \Y. !•'. Allen and Mr. P. ('. Jones were landed to visit the Ewa mill and return to Honolulu by rail. The remainder of the party returned by An unexpected result has followed the final determination of the directors of the Chicago World's Pair to keep their exposition open on Sunday. After the long and severe contest seemed to have been decided against those who desired to maintain the old and honorable American practice of Sabbath observance, a complete and ignominious defeat fell upon the directors, by no human devising. "Before they tried the experiment of opening the Fair on Sunday, they insisted that it would be the great clay for the people to attend, and we confess we believed as they. After an experiment of several weeks, the attendance has shown that the people really were not of the mind the directors supposed they were. The attendance on Sunday has been less, right along, than on other days of the week. Sunday, the 12th, the attendance was 71,21:!, against 7., 889 the Saturday before, and 77,11 Iti the Monday following. On Sunday, the IKth, it" was 59,900, against 148,994 the Saturday previous, and 85,29 l the Monday following. Last Sunday it wos 62,-028, against 125,8J0 the Saturday previous, and 91,160 yesterday." The result is that the Pair can be kept open on Sunday only at a loss, and the directors are obliged to close the gates. This is a practical demonstration of the honor in which the American people hold the Sabbath. It is a silent victory of great power. On the 17th of July the Provisional Government completed the first six months of its existence. Said the Star: "In the six months past it has maintained order, strengthened the national finances, suppressed an incipient conspiracy, secured complete recognition at the hands of the United States and overcome a powerful moneyed opposition. Duiing that time the gravest predictions have been made here and in San Francisco of its immediate collapse and downfall, but all of them have come to nothing. At least twenty separate dates have been made for the restoration of the ex Cjueen, but each of them has borne Dead Sea fruit. Every week and every month has added to the self reliance of the powers that be, and made them more confident of final success." This appears to us a substantially correct statement. Even the two weeks since the above was published, have witnessed a very marked increase in the strength of the government, and in the manifest discouragement of their opponents. The political sky is apparently clearing up, and a better day seems to be opening upon Hawaii. sea. Mr. Blount was surprised to find on entering the harbor from the sea, that he had previously gained no proper idea of its interesting and important features by merely skirting its upper shores on the railway. The Minister made the occasion one of active investigation, as well as of the recreation originally intended. An excellent map was constantly consulted, which showed the careful soundings taken by U. S. naval officers, and verifying soundings were taken at interesting points, such as the N. W. angle of Ford's Island, where a battleship might lie up to the coral cliff, and run a plank ashore. Especially interesting was the proposed site for batteries at the end of Waipio peninsula completely enfilading the three miles of channel out to the bar. The Minister expressed himself as much impressed with the beauty of the uplands to the north and east of Pearl Lochs, and with their evident promise of future farms and homes for a prosperous agricultural population. Those also could not be well observed from the railway. Mr Blount showed himself to be a keen and alert observer of outward nature, and as active and incisive an asker of questions outdoors, as he has come to be so well known to be indoors. If the Minister makes as favorable report of us in other respects as he seems likely to do of Pearl Harbor and its surroundings, we shall be well satis- fied. The War in Samoa. The Monowai brought news from Samoa, of fighting on July Nth between the forces of king Malietoa, and those of his rival Mataafa, resulting in the total defeat of the latter, and his retreat on board the British war ship Katooinbu. Everything was quiet on Apia when the Monowai left. It is evident that no satisfactory or permanent adjustment has yet been accomplished of the relations of the natives and the foreigners, who are largely Ger mans. A government by British author ity would be acceptable to the natives, as their religion and civilization have come from England. The same would clearly be the best for all concerned. Neither independence or a joint protectorate is practicable. The case has strong analogies to that of Hawaii. Hon. J. O. Carter has resigned his position as a member of the Board of Health. As one of the ablest, most experienced and most efficient members, the loss of his services upon the Board is greatly to be regretted. The Rev. William B. Oleson Visited Boston early in June. The leading Boston dailies, the Journal, Herald, Globe, and Transcript, publish long interviews with Mr. Oleson, who reported the true condition of political affairs in Hawaii with great force and accuracy. He is doing admirable service, especially in refuting Nordhoffs abominable falsehoods. Trade With North-West Coast. The C. A. Steamer Mioweia took from Honolulu August Ist 3700 bunches and crates of bananas, consigned chiefly to Seattle. This fact indicates the immense opening on the North-west Coa,st for the sale of our fruits. In California our pines and bananas encounter a severe competition from those of Mexico and even the West Indies, which are brought up by the Southern Pacific. The upwards of 1000 miles farther transportation to Puget Sound from San Francisco gives the advantage to Hawaii in supplying that region, as the distance thither is not materially greater than to San Francisco. The C. &A. steamer moreover, are provided with cold-storage rooms which give an immense advantage for the transportation of perishable fruits. It seems certain that a large and growing trade of a most profitable nature is now being initiated between Hawaii, and the great states of Oregon and Washington, with British Columbia added. Large amounts of our rice and sugars will also go direct to the Northwest Coast instead of going by. way of San Francisco. �62 [Augst, 1893. THE FRIEND. RECORD OF EVENTS. July 2nd.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Hoard is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. Three of the senior students of the North Pacific Missionary Institute are at work in the field. Two are on Maui, Kama being at Haiku, and Kawaiaea at Kipahulu, while Isaia is at Milolii, Hawaii. Of the other two, Solomona is at his home on Kauai with his family, and Aiu is working in this city. Mr. Okabe writes from Hilo, July 27th, 'T have heard from Dr. Mori of Kohala, that they are ready to pay for a Japanese preacher. He desires to have an educatedperson because plantationswant to have him interpret for them once in a while. I think we had better send Ishikawa there, if he comes. I must work hard to raise $100 and get a printing press from Japan and start a paper in Honolulu. I am just at present planning to start a library in Honomu and two reading rooms at Wainaku Plantation. I hope all other plantations will follow the example." Though this is a time when it would seem hard for some of our good Hawaiian pastors to secure sufficient support, it is no time for them to think of leav ing their fields. Now is the time, if ever, for them to "stick." It would be a disaster to their parishes for them to go. The deluded parishioners who have been led into opposition by false counsellors will not always oppose. They must be patiently dealt with and helped. They were never in greater need of help than now. Their pastors are the ones to help them. Meanwhile we who can must help the pastors to remain at their posts. Such men as Revs. Waiamau and Pali are worthy of all help. Rev. E. S. Timoteo and John Wise begin their evangelistic work in this city this week. Eor the present it is to be closely associated with the Kaumakapili parish. It will be initiated with a canvas of the parish, an house to house visitation and probable holding of local meetings. Rev. Mr. Desha cannot (at present at least) join the work as he cannot leave his parish. Mr. Higgins and the young men who met at Emma Hall will doubtless iden tify themselves with it and prove a strong and helpful force. It is also hoped that all Christian "Kamehameha" boys who are in the city and are now connected with or are graduate from the school, will lend a hand to this work. There never was a city more in need of a change in thought than ours. We believe that there are many who are ready to welcome the Gospel just at this time. Certainly we all need its spirit. Nothing can help us more in the settlement of our troubles than the mind of Christ. 63 surrender of ourselves to God in service.

What need I more ? While engaged in his business, I am released from every other. It is faith's work to claim and challenge loving-kindness out of all the roughest strokes of God. Life is but the road of dying death is but the gate of life. Watch thyself as thy greatest enemy, so shalt thou become thy greatest friend. Those who wait on God, exchange their own weakness for his strength. Under God duties never clash. Our faith is fed by what is plain in Scripture, and tested by what is obscure. Every kindness done to others, is a step nearer to the life of Christ. Wealth is a blessing if God send it; a temptation if man ask it. How shall one hope to enjoy Christ's presence hereafter, if he cares little for his Lord's company here ? Behold the miseries that attend on riches; gained with toil, kept with fear, enjoyed with danger, lost with grief. 'Tis hard to be saved if we have them; impossible if we love them. Knock; continue in prayer and in every other way of the Lord; be not weary or faint in your mind; press on to the mark; take no denial; let him not go until he bless you; and the door of mercy, ofthe holiness, and of heaven shall be opened unto you.— Wesley. When the flesh presents thee with dc lights, then present thyself with dangers; when the world possesses thee with vain hopes, then possess thyself with true fears. The way to be safe is never to feel secure.

The unrestrained sales of intoxicants and o) opium, lend deadly power to the enemy of our work. Gambling and lotteries exert a ruinous influence. We all pray for such government to become fully established here, as shall guarantee due and proper restiaints upon all the dcs troying forms of vice among our ignor ant populations. Letters From Rev. A. C. Walkup. [I'rom The Pacific] Hiram Bingham, Tarawa, Fkh. 4, 1H93. | Kkv. Waltkr Frear—Dear Brother: We had a good trip to Butaritari only nineteen clays, and high hopes of getting Hiram Bingham in good shape before the Star arrived, but, alas ! the Slur had cut timetable, also given up the general meeting, called at Butaritari and gone on ; stopping only a day or two at an island. I had hopes of overtaking her until I called at Maiana, and found she had left there ten day* before. Thus we gave up the chase and went to work. I used the engine twice on the w.y to Maiana, and made good time; then I gassed into the lagoon where sailing vessels cannot go. We took her to a soft bottom, and at low tide, three feet, and put copper paint eight inches above copper, then floated her off and made her look handsome. Over $100 of stock was taken, and I left the first G I. S. S. Lesson Leaves. Prom Maiana we came to Tarawa, but have been on to Apaiang. and brought a teacher back here. The Rev. Moses Kaure, at Apaiang, and Mr. Tibwere, Tarawa, had both fallen and gone back to heathenism also the kings ; and many of the church members had gone to Satan's service. So, things here are very slow, but improving; some wanderers are returning. •With the magic lantern, I succeeded in gathering large crowds, and the king of Apaiang said, after the service, he was afraid, as he was not prepared to meet Jesus; said he would cut his hair and repent. Here to day (now) the king and his girl wife is on board and asked to have one of the boys cut his hair, and he looks quite fine, except the holes in his ears, plugged up with a roll of leaves? : Hiram Bingham, Butaritari, Fkb. 25, 1893. | Dlak Friends—Greetings: This little missionary craft, captain, mate and sea men. as also the engineer, all in good working order. We left Butaritari on December 19th, 1f92, for a cruise ; »c gassed into the lagoon at Maiana, through a narrow channel, the wind and tide against us; yet we got up to land so quick that every one was surprised. Rev. W. N. Lono composed a song to "Saviour, pilot me," and it goes from island to island faster than we do. We made our anchorages in the Maiana lagoon ; then three at Tarawa ; then five at Abaian ; then returned to Tarawa, landing a teacher. At Abaian we used the cabin one night as a hospital, dressing a hand that had been blown off with giant powder ; then, taking (Captain Tiernev) the sufferer home in a gale that a boat could not heat against; then, on leaving Tarawa for Marakei, his boat came to hail us to take I im to a surgeon. As Brother Channon had asked me to make a visit to Jaluit, in the interests of our teachers on Pleasant Island, I have made this trip. Now we are ready to start for Tapiteuea, Nonouti, and come up to the group. I expect to be three or four months on this tour; then Banaba and Pleasant Island. The Governor of Pleasant Island has been crowding out —yes, imprisoning one teacher—because they do not teach German subjects in English. Thus they wish us to vacate, to make room for German missionaries! They even give me the privilege of call ing at Pleasant Island without first clearing the Hiram Bingham at J aluit. Shall I take the teachers away? I landed one before the Germans took the island. Now they imprison him for preaching in a village about four miles from his residence Imprisoned two weeks for preaching twice! Our Saviour sends us to preach in all the villages We have an open door and effectual protection here under the English flag; at least, we have thus far.

Her words of welcome were as follows : "We desire to entertain you royally in our beautiful new church. Perhaps sime'of you do not understand the name of this church 'Central Union Church.' You remember this, however, that there used to be here two distinct church societies, the 'Bethel,' and 'Fort St.' When these two societies were united, a new name was given 'Union' signifies their consolidation 'Central' stands for the very heart of this Union —and that heart is Christ.

It has been stated recently by Minister Blount that he has not yet sent to Wash ington his report, which is very bulky. The President presumably is holding the whole question in abeyance until Mr. Blount's report is received and duly studied. There is every reason to believe that Mr. Blount has conducted his inquiries in a fair, judicial and thorough manner. We have great confidence that the result will be highly satisfactory to the friends of annexation, and most certainly so to the friends of liberal and constitutional government in these islands, as opposed to barbaric and absolutist rule. Departure of the Morning Star. Our Missionary Ship sailed upon her annual cruise through Micronesia upon the 7th of June. Her only missionary passengers were Miss Rose Kinney for Ruk, and Miss Louise Wilson for Kusaie. Rev. M. Lutera and wife were to have returned to the post on Apaiang, but the medical examiner forbade Mrs. Lutera's departure. It is matter of deep regret that there is not one new white mission ary for Kusaie, and another, still more needed for Ruk. F"arewell services were held on board M., conducted in English by Rev. Messrs. Emerson and Bishop, and by Rev. E. S. Timoteo in Hawaiian. The Star was to touch at Butaritari, Kusaie and Mokil, dropping mails and supplies, and then to make all haste to Ruk, where affairs are believed to be in a critical condition, on account of native wars, and the failure of Mr. Snelling's health. at 4 P. The Hawaiian Evangelical Association. The Annual Meeting of this body occupied the second week in June. A majority of the native Pastors were present. Much apprehension had been felt that the bitterness in politics might intrude itself into the meetings of the Association. This evil was not realized. A spirit of harmony prevailed, with an avoidance of political questions. The Moderator chosen was Rev. J. Kauhane, who was Vice President of the late Legislature, and a leading Annexationist. His only competitor was the Rev. Waiau, also a strong Annexationist. Political differences came to the surface only in a decided opposition of a small minority to the paying of an official visit by the association to Presitlent Dole as the Head of the governments We regard the strong annexation majority of natives in attendance at the association as decisive proof of the sentiment upon this question of the great majority of the better class of Hawaiians, to whose minds the ex-queen and her party clearly is a leading the debased and rotten monarchy is a Honolulu streets are generally too vital necessity, if any real Christianity narrow to permit of the erection o! or civilization is to be left for Hawaiians. trolley wires in addition to the telephone lines.

Whenever an American edition of the revised version shall be printed, change will doubtless be made. It is the general testimony, as we believe, of missionaries, that the use of the name Jehovah greatly adds to the expressiveness and force of the Scriptures. The following instance may be cited, I Kings 18:21—"If Jehovah be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him." As to the Diocesan's surmise that the use of thir name of Deity has tended towards Polytheism, we cannot feel called on to treat it as anything more than an unsupported fancy. In their long and tireless war upon polytheistic superstition, our missionaries unquestionably felt the power and emphasis given to their appeals by having a definite name for the one supreme Deity whose word they taught, and whose authority they held up before the people. The name Jehovah became great in Hawaii nei. "That Necromancy is not a recognized business under the Hawaiian flag." the Diocesan thinks is to be thankfully acknowledged. That is exactly what was not true. In 1888, Kalakaua made his corrupt Legislature, among several other indecent things, creates "Hawaiian Board of Health, which was simply a Board of Kahunas, for the propagation of Sorcery and Idolatry. At nearly the same time, Kalakaua compelled Gibson to smuggle through the Privy Council by a trick a charter for the Hale Nana, which is well known to have been an organization for similar purposes. Why does the Diocesan ignore these notorious ' facts ? the open air for refreshments, served by the young men, under the moonlight, and decorations of Japanese lanterns. The Mission has a day school of 100 little children and over. There is an evening class for older ones, who as soon as they are able, join the club for more social and literary opportunities. A. F. C. Benefits of Annexation.—The Star says : • One year after annexation Honolulu would have five-minute electric cars, a sewer system in process of building, a big increase of hotel facilities, a com pleting Oaliu railway belt, a district messenger service, and weekly steamers from the coast. Capital for similar enterprises has followed the flag and accompanied the boom from Kansas City to San Diego, and stands ready to repeat its triumphs on this soil. All it wants is the security which American laws and the presence of the stars and stripes afford. We add that Hawaii would also have a cable to Monterey, Pearl Harbor bar in process of dredging out, and the Hilo railway begun. All these things would be only the beginning of an era of grand development. in strength, and have the moral support of the stronger elements of steadily society. RECORD OF EVENTS. June Ist.

Emerson, 55 THE FRIEND. - Editor. Mr. and Mrs. Eurneaux, is the prompt action of the members of the Japanese Church and Sabbath School of Hilo, in the making up of a purse to be presented to Mrs. Furneaux. It is the grateful re turn she gets at this time of her trouble for the long and helpful service she has rendered this appreciative people who are so quick with their sympathies, and who are most thoughtful and generous in the returns they make for kindnesses shown them. The conviction, which is so general in the minds of our Christian workers, of the need of some special work of grace to be done in the community, seems to be taking more definite shape. The Hawaiian Evangelical Association, which closed its session of the T.'th of June, voted that a special evangelis tic work be begun in the churches of the group. It selected two pastors to act as evangelists, each for six months of the year. The two chosen were the Revs. S. L. Desha of Hilo and E. S. Timoteo of Waialua. They are among the busi est of our pastors and are needed at home. But such are just the men who takes hold best elsewhere. It was voted that John Wise be associated with these men in the work, which the Hawaiian Board is asked to support and direct. It is not yet known if Mr. Desha can get leave of absence from his people. If not, the Hawaiian Board is asked to select a man to take his place. In view of this action of the Evangelical Association, the Hawaiian Board has voted to begin the work in this city. Pastor Waiamau is eager to have it be gun in his parish. Rev. Timoteo is ready to enter the field now, and will probably do so soon. John Wise is expected to arrive from his visit home to Kohaln by the next return of the steamer. He is eager to begin a work among the young men of the city. It is thought that an organization might be perfected which should engage the na tive youth, possibly a sort of Y. M C. A. with John Wise as Secretary. Emma Hall would be the fitting center of such a work, which might be carried on among the natives parallel to that which our present Y. M. C. A. is doing for the white populatioh. The enterprise has not yet taken shape; may be the events of the coming days will help do this. The Star left port on the Nth of June, taking as passengers Miss Rose Kinney, who returns to her post in the Ruk Girls' School, and Miss Louise K. Wilson, late ol Sonoma, California, who goes to Kusaie, to take Miss Little's place in the Kusaie (Jill's School. The Star goes to Ruk as speedily as possible, while touching on the way at Butaritari, Kusaie and Mokil. At the end of her voyage through the mission fields she is expected to bring up Dr. Pease and family. Two schedules have been given the Captain, by one of which he is to lay out the latter part of his course after consultation with the Doctor. If Dr. Pease decides to visit the West and to bring his family on by way of Kuk, the Star may reach Honolulu by the Ist of April, 1894, and possibly a week or ten days earlier. If the Doctor decides to come direct to Honolulu from Kusaie, the Star may be expected by the 6th of April. The following resolution was introduced by a native member toward the close of the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and was car ried by a vote of ft to 1 I. "In view of the confidence and regard we feel, be it resolved, That we the members of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, ministers, pastors, delegates and corresponding members now in session in Honolulu, do call on Hon. S. B. Dole, President of the Provisional Government of these Islands, and upon his Honora tic cabinet." The program proposed was happily caried'out on Tuesday, the day after the adjournment of the Association. After being received by President Dole and his Cabinet in the audience room, the members of the Association were shown over the Executive Building. Eorty members w,-:e present. Now comes the news from Kohala that some of the men in the church there wish to expel the Rev. Kekuewa from AniverW say eek. that pastorate, and all because he was one of those who ventured to call and pay their respects to the President and Perhaps it is not too late to say a Cabinet of the Provisional Government, few things about the Anniversary meetas per vote of the Hawaiian Evangelical ings of the first week of June, things we Association. could have wished said then, and doubt Hon.

The work tif the are re-elected. churches which it reviews and seeks to One of the pleasant things brought to bring into line for fresh advances, is alpass by the sad experience of our friends ways important. The six district mis- sions which its conducts through the Hawaiian Board and in as many different languages, are interesting religiously, as a part of the world's broad Christian work. All these were reported and discussed at this meeting. But when we bear in mind that four of these six missions (two of them being foreign missions) have a direct relation to the welfare of this country are missions to the unevangt-li/ed and as yet unassimilated elements of our heterogeneous potheir impoitance becomes pulation n anifest. If there is anything which is to save these fair islands and the people now in them from the late of the Dutch colonies ol the east, we would like to know what it is, if it is not the christian religion; they need a civilization which is built on the Bible. An Anglo Saxon civilization can be built up here by the biinging in of more American, English and German blood, but if the Hawaiian, the Chinaman, and the man of Japan, and of the Canaiit-s and of the Azores, who are now among us are to become valuable and helpful neighbors, and have a share in our future prosperity, as we earnestly wish them to, they must become evangelized. The christian colony in these islands is devoted to the work of evangelizing these people. We wish to make them into good citizens and help them become a progressive people, lor their own as well as tor our sakes. We wish them to become possessed ofthe opportunity which is now theirs. Hence our high estimate of the mission work which is being done among them, the most of it by people ot their own race whom we are supporting. It is not necessary here to recount all its features. It is enough to point to the work being done Mr. Damon and his body of helpers among the Chinese; it is enough to mention the names of Revs. Soares and Baptist as representatives of the mission to the Portuguese, and the names of Rev. Ukabe and of Oku, with their four associate helpers of the Japanese mission, (for which mission yet four more missionaries are voted, to be secured as soon as possible); it is enough to run down the roll of the Hawaiian ministry and check off on it the score and mine names of leading Ha waiians, than whom none of their countrymen are doing more to save what remains of this people from ex- tinction. 2. We claim that the present situation of Hawaiian affairs puts an importance on the meetings of Anniversary Week, which perhaps the press would have done well to take more careful note of, and we think those who appreciated the purport of these meetings and who followed them, were greatly encouraged at their tone. Not only were important measures passed, there was also a manifestation of a power and an influence which gave happy promise of good. There were, during the anniveisa- �THE 56 ry days, various issues which came up There was the hearty, happy election of the best of the Hawaiians (and one who perhaps is first in influence), as moderator; there was the general approval which was given the brave pastors who had stood out for their Christian independence in rebuke of wrong against large odds; there was the general disapproval of those craven men in the ministry who had basely plotted with the enemy against their brethren; there was the grateful purpose, of men who thought differently on certain matters, to be at one in the work; and there were the ringing words of hope and of courage and of sweet Christian spirit, which were spoken at the annual tea party, all of which the press would have dune well to take more careful note of for the ben etit of the interested public. to warrant the above statement. The Leper War at Kalalau. But Perhaps war is too has an'ex despatched the government pedition of nearly fifty military and police, in addition to forces of police on Kauai, to reduce the rebellious lepers to submission. The Deputy Sheriff ol Wainiea, L. H. Stol/, was instantly killed on the '27th by two rifle shots from the hands of lepers whom he was Their leader Kooseeking to arrest lau, seems to be a desperado of violent character. For perhaps twenty years the secluded and nearly inaccessible canyon of Kalalau has been a refuge and fortress for lepers on Kauai, who were determined not to be removed to the excellent anil comfortable asylum provided for these unfortunates on Molokai. There are 28 lepers now congregated there, great ly to the annoyance of the 7-1 healthy inhabitants, whose property they depredate, and contaminate the water flow, from their fastness in the head of the valley. Mr. Stol/ was zealous to accomplish their removal during the summer calm weather when the sea landing was practicable. The Board ol Health, especially the President, W. 0. Smith, were reluctant to proceed with the business at a time of so much political unrest, but yielded to Mr. Stolz's confident representations that the lepers were ready to yield. The result proved his error, and the government have on their hands a difficult and painful task, which cannot now be postponed. /.

Politics in Religion. It is impossible entirely to dissever Religion and Politics, because each deals with moral issues, and so encroaches upon the boundaries of the other. A conspicuous example of a very bad and dangerous importing of politics into religion occurs in the cases of some Hawaiian churches who are denouncing and trying to vote out their pastors for expressing their support of annexation. The ablest and best native pastors are found in the stronger native churches of the larger towns. Unhappily the greatest corruption exists in these I rger places, and those churches are sadly corrupted. Hence while thus the great majority of our best and ablest pastors are annexationists because they have the most clearly seen and keenly felt the destructive influence of the corrupt court, a majotity of their church members are apt to be found in sympathy with that court and its corruptions. Next week occurs the annual meeting of our Evangelical Association, or Synod. It will be remarkable if some 01 the bitter political strife which has been raging, does not appear there. Indeed, some protest seems unavoidable against the shameful charges of treachery and hypocrisy poured by the royalists upon the highest and best of our native pastors. It is our earnest hope that a sufficiency of the wise and loving spirit of the Master will prevail, to quell all bitterness and to secure a just and affectionate tolerance of each one's diversity of opinion. Lahaina Church, like the town, once so populous and interesting, has become wasted and decayed. Their veteran and devoted pastor, one of the purest and sweetest characters of all the Hawauans, signed the Annexation roll. For this offense, the late representative from I.ahaina "Bill White" worked up a church meeting to expel him from the pastorate, a vote for which was carried. This White was the (Queen's chief henchman in working the Lottery Bill through the Legislature, and did some of the fiercest talking when she announced her delay in proclaiming her new constitution. �THK FRIKND. 42 (J tine, 1893.

The meeting was opened with the usual devotional exercises. Mrs. Hyde, presiding, read a passage of Scripture, and in a few earnest and appropriate winds, gave as a motto for the coming year, the text "Let this mind he in you which has also in Christ Jesus." emphasizing the thought that the value of the work accomplished was manifested by the spirit actuating it, as witness in the case of the widow's mite. After prayer by Mrs. Cooke, our honored vice-president, the reading of There were report! reports began. from the secretaries, and from the various auxiliaries, all full <>t interest, and the treasurer's report was a revelation.

In spite of hard times, the ladies have come bravely forward with special contributions, chiefly for kintergarten work among tile Hawaiians, Portuguese and Chinese. The funds of the woman's board arc not all sent away to "Borioboolagha," or to Micronesia even. "The heathen at our doors" are not overlooked. Mrs. Emery has taken Christian cheer into the homes of the Chinese, and the footbound women and girls are happier for her loving ministry. Mrs. Soares is a blessing to the Portuguese women and children, and the various superintendents of departments have done faithful service. Valuable papers have been read from time to time during the year, some having been interesting contributions to one : Hawaiian history. At noon lunch was served, and a number of gentlemen responded to the invitation given to those interested in the work of the ladies to come in and take lunch. The meeting was well attended throughout the day. At least Isoladies must have been present during the session. An attempt to couut at lunch time was something like counting chickens, there was such a coming and going and such a cheery moving to and fro. After lunch came the election of officers, the president's address, which the ladies voted to publish in full immediate Iy, and brief addresses from a few of the invited guests. The officers for the new year were the Dillingham the equally faithful treasurer. The monthly meetings are held from 2:30 till 4 KM., on the first Tuesday of each month, and though they are very well attended there is room for more, and there must be many more ladies in town to whom they would be enjoyable. In behalf of the woman's board a most cordial invitation is extended to all ladies, either resident or visiting, to attend these meetings.

But the reports that havecome from the field, on the return of the Morning Star, in regard to the pro tnising indications of usefulness in the labors of the new missionaries, lias been some compensation for the loss sustained. Rev. Mr. Lutera and wile, who have been employed in home work for the last two years, on account of her health, expect to return to Apaian by the next trip ol the Star. As a general thing, the work of these partially edu cated Hawaiian missionaries is effective among the lower races to whose service they have consecrated themselves. The number of students has been less than ever before, and a larger propor tion ot these than ever have been un married. Every woman, however, that came into the afternoon instruction for the wives ol students brought in a child, and all these were of about the same age.

Though the condition of the school for the present year has not been encouraging, yet the prospects for the next year are that the number of students will be largely increased and all of the new ones so well versed in English that hereafter some of the instruction must be given in that language, ami a radical change in the management of the school will be effected. Our board has this year inaugurated a new work, ami ho ds itself responsible for the support of a system of free kindergarten schools for children under school age The Hawaiian kindergarten was opened in Queen Emma ball.

Mr. Blount's Instructions. On May 15th, U. S. Commissioner Blount published the instructions which be brought with him from President Cleveland. Beyond the duty assigned of ascertaining and reporting all the facts connected with the late revolution and the present state ofaffairs in the Islands, together with the duty in respect to the use of U. S. forces for the protection of American citizens, which instructions are substantially the same as those of Bayard to Merrill in iHS7, there is nothing of special note. Mr. Blount appended his own intention to " refrain from any interference between conflict ing forces of whatever nationality for supremacy." This, as expressed to a reporter by President Dole is quite satis factory to the Government and their friends. " It will have the effect," answered Mr. Dole in bis quiet way, of.bracing us up in our present position. Theie is nothing especially new wherein the published letter of President Cleveland differs from what we supposed. The letter certainly gives no hopes, to the royalists for the restoration of the ex Oueen.

A large delegation of war veterans was present with them from the Boston and Adams. Many of the audience who had just heard of the death of Gen. Armstrong, felt deeply for the preacher who was kept ignorant t f the painful intelligence until the evening's duty was completed.

Our revolution stopped the loan There, is no prospect of the money until we get a "strong protected government," whether by annexation or a protectorate, after which there will be no difficulty. The Hawaiian Star has been listing and rating the politics of all persona and corporations in these Islands who are assessed for more than $10,00(1 each, including much the larger half of all assessments. The result appears to o justify the statements that nine tenths of these larger properties are held bypersons favoring Annexation. RECODE F VENTS. — — — — �46 tup: IJ friend. tine, 1893. 111.

Mr. Snelling has been very kind and wise in dealing with Mr. W. and we think he has done as well as he could in regard to the schooner. It was thought very necessary to find a way of getting word to the Hoard. Mr. Snelling is suffering severely from his lung trouble and since the trip to the Mortlocks has failed very much. From his present condition we fear he will Utterly give out before the Star returns, whell we sincerely hope other help will come. Mrs. Logan and I are both well. The girls are doing good work and show ■n earnest desire to learn and to be obedient and helpful. I find them very interesting and exceedingly enjoy my work with them. We are kept very busy with our twenty four boarding pupils and nine day scholars. Among the latter are the wives of the married men in the Hoys Training School." Word has come from Lahaioa that the elders of the church there have voted Alo 4 we believe to discharge their pastor, the Rev. A. Pali, on the ground that lie favors annexation. The name of tine William White, the supposed late legislator, is mentioned as among those who helped on the matter, although it does not appear how he had a right to. We were not aware that Mr. White professed to be a religious man, much less a church member. Hut it stems he was the latter, The fact ex plains the Rcv'd Pali's trouble. Any man should expect trouble from such a constituency in his church. The last news is that Pali holds the fort, as does the Key. Waiamau here, despite agitators, in behalf of the dc throned Queen. These able and res pected men are likely to continue to hold the fort. For it requires the vote of their respective island associations to put them out, and this we believe they are not ready to do. The End of the Old Order. Naturally the winding up of the monarchical system in these islands is the occasion ol considerable disturbance to the native woi k. Political issues have bred partizan measures. To pray or not to pray for the- restoration of the deposed queen lias proved a test question in man}' a meeting of many a church, and by the answer he has been obliged to give to it the enlightened, conscientious pastor has not unfrequently had to meet the disapproval of a factious element willing to uphold royalty with all its attendant evils. In some churches there has been strife. The factious element, stirred up and led on by plotting royalists, hungry and eager for the old-time spoils, have, in certain instances, attempted the dismissal of their pastor. Hut in no case as yet has this end been achieved. The worst phase of the issue is that disaffection toward the Gospel that falling away from the truth which is so apt to be induced in the minds of the weak when offences come. We look anxiously for the days when the minds of the people, disembarrassed of present exigencies, may be led again without distraction, to the glad contemplation of spiritual things. And yet the disquiet of these times has had its good effect. The people have been made to think along new lines, and as usual, the pastors the best of them are to the front. To such a desperate pass did tilings come, and so open were the disclosures of evil, that men refused to be longer in any way a party to the upholding of the royalist cause. Now the meddlesome interference of a corrupt and pagan court is to cease to be a factor in the administration of the native churches. The royal patronage which — — �THE 48 [June. 1893. FRIKNI).

The present is necessarily a tune < I somewhat piinful solicitude foi the spirit ual welfare of our Hawaiian churches Their Christian life is just now (offering very seriously by reason of the prevailing political animosity. The people are great ly divided upon the subject of annexation, and the most rancorous language is habitually used by the royalists in denouncing their o ponents. Among the earnest advocates of annex ition are a niaj irity of the best and ablest native pastors, who have long mourned the poisonous in fluent-e of the heathenizing Court upon the life of their churches. Against these noble men there is bitter railing, and in their churches great il vision. These faith ful pastors are habitually stigmatised in the two royalist papers, as the worst ol traitors to their country and their people. A corresponding antagonism is shown toward the white brethren whose labors are among the natives, although some of them vtry properly avoid obtruding their politi cal opinions, according to the nature ol their work. In personal intercouse, ht.w ever, with Christian natives of opposing sentiments, we find apparent cordiality, and we are sure that most of the hard language used in print is merely buncombe, after Hawaiian fashion. In this state of thirgs our large and gen erous body of White Christian workers, as well as iif the right thinking natives, have greater need if unfailing patience and love, with courage to go forward in all gootl work f i the Hawaiian people, undeterred by d> nunciation. let us not fail to realize of what prime imp' nance to Christ's King_ dom h< re is the maintenance of a high anil genuine piety among our native Christ ians, ami how disastrous to all our mission work would l>c its failure to shine out A genuine Hawaiian Christianity is an tsstntial part of our basis ol iciive opera lions for propagating the knowledge ol Christ among cur numerous Asiatic visit urs whom the Divine providence has sen I here to receive Christian light.

Until then we must labor on in patience The Treasurer of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, will close his accounts fur the year < n the 15th of this month, as in former years. He makes an appeal to the readers ol Tiik Friend for the necessary funds to enable him to close the year out of debt. Ibis will require about $3,000,-- as the salaries of all the Hawaiian Missionaries in the Gilbert Islands have yet to be paid for this year, and there are other objects calling loudly for funds. The Hawaiian Hoard is doing excellent work among the Hawaiians, the l'ortuguese, the Chinese and the Japanese all over these Islands, besides work for schools. The Treasurer would grattfully acknowledge the receipt f various amounts from many friends of Missions, and especially the aid given by one of the best friends of this people of funds for various objects amounting to $15,000. As this is a permanent fund and the interest only can be used, it does not avail for the present needs of the work mentioned above. Any and all contributions that the friends of this work may be pleased to give can be sent to W.m. \V. Hall, Treas. Hawaiian board. . 33 Number f>. A Royalist Convention. An association of natives, called the HaPatriotic League, is meeting in con- waiian vention, May Ist, at Arion Hall in Honolulu, to advocate the restoration of the Monarchy. There are about forty deleThe government gives them entire gales. freed >m of utterance, and of personal conference with the depos'-d Queen. Such delegates us are known to us, are not of the lies! and most reliable class of natives. Several who were members of the late legislature, were always found on the side of the lottery and corruption generally. Two delegates have been named to us as kahuna sorcerers of well known reputation. The convention probably aims to piss resolutions in the hope of influencing the mind of Commissioner Mlount. Siiung delegations have been coming in hum the Annexationist Clubs front the olhtr islands, for the purpose of represent lug their views to Mr. Illount. Among the delegation from Maui are the foremost of our native laywers, J. W. Kalua, and Rev. A. I'ali, the old and excellent pastor of l.ahaina. As a general rule, the i I.iss of natives whom we have learned to esteem and trust are on the side of annex ation. A veiy tew such still i ling to the Monarchy, which is not strange, as that represents the political ascendency of the natives. Most of the intelligent and wisely pitriotic natives see that the continuant c of such an ascendency is impossible and only injurious to all classes, and that the time has come to abandon it. Hence they heartily unite with us in seeking to come under the United States, which will guarantee equal rights to all classes alike. Worth Annexation. The Pacific copies some figures from Tiik PaiBND showing the amount annually contributed by members of the Central Union Church and Congregation for church purposes, benevolences, mission and education work, etc., to aggregate $35,000, or an average of $70 a member. It adds, "Is there another church in all the world that does as well? We think that such a church is worth annexing." �[May, 1893. THE FRIEND. 34 LanPdreoptyfMissionaries. It has always been a current statement in Honolulu "that the old missionaries acquired large estates here in lands. Such an assertion appears made by a writer, no doubt honestly, in the April number of The Californinn Magazine. It is, in the main, quite incorrect. Most of the missionaries availed themselves of the offers of the King about 1.550, to buy tracts of government land at hall price, investing therein from perhaps five hundred to two thousand each. It was the desire of the King to retain so desirable a class as permanent residents with their growing families. We believe I bat very few of them invested as much as one thousand dollars, and some like father Lyons, never bought land at all. Mosi, however, secured a few hundred acres or more for their dairy herds to run upon. Most of these lands appreciated very moderately in value. In a few cases, they may during the lifetime of the missionary, have reached a value of from two io live thousand dollars. We know of only one case where the missionary became wealthy in consequence of his investment, his two thousand acres of past tire near his home in a remote rural disliict, having become the nucleus of one of our best sugar plantations—all without effort or calculation upon his part. It should be statetl, that this missionary always donated the larger half of his income to missionary and educational uses. The "rich missionary" is a myth. There were a lew cases in which, by investments of property inherited from their own or a wife's parents, a missionary may in old age have realized an income of one thousand dollars, or less. There were also five or six instances in Honolulu of lay members of the mission, whose special functions as assistants had lapsed, who engaged in secular business about forty years ago, and accpiired considerable property. These, however, could hardly be considered as typical missionary instances. As a body, the missionaries lived simply and frugally, and left but small estates behind them, notwithstanding exceptional opportunities of accumulating wealth. This was as it should be. Their numerous children have generally been fairly prosperous, and several have become verywealthy. We do not know any of these who are not munificiently liberal and public spirit- Ed in the use of their property. This property is the creation of their own skill and enterprise in developing the resources of the country, an enterprise which has spread plenty throughout the land, where Calumny only poverty had reigned. sometimes rails at the missionaries' s >ns as having gathered wealth by robbery of the native people. This is as irrational to s as y that the wealth of Calif mia is the fruit of robbery of the lettered aborigines of that country. In the case of the Hawaiian*, their avtrage property valuation has multiplied manifold dining the past forty years From comparative nakedness they have become writ clothed; and from grass huts, tiny have come to IiVC in good wooden dwellings, well furnished. The natives have shared largely in the general prosperity of the country. Board of Health at the Leper Settlement. Last Friday evening, the 28th, the Eehua steamed up to Kalaupapa with Hon. W. O. Smith, the President of the Hoard of Health, and Drs. Andrews and Day, with J. T. Watcrhouse, Jr. and Minister King of the Interior, As invited guests were Dr. Simons of the Mohican, Dr. Cordeira of the Adams, with Dr. Delamater and Miss Carroll of the Queen's Hospital. Landing at 8 a.m., the day was spent in inspecting the settlement. 'The Leper band was in attendance at the landing, and a cordial welcome was given by the people. The party were at once taken to the house of the permanent superintendent. After eating luncheon and taking a short rest, President Smith made the assembled multitude a brief address ol greeting, promising to meet them again in the afternoon. 'The party then visited the Bishop home for leper girls, under the care of Mother Superior Marianne and several other Franciscan Sisters, and consisting of the school and industrial rooms, and ten or more separate rJormitory buildings, accommodating HO or ill) inmates. The rooms are as nicely furnished and kept as in first-class hospitals, and hung with pictures and small decorations. The girls are from three to eighteen years of age. The party proceeded on horseback to Kalawao, where they examined the Boy's home, under the guidance of Dr. Oliver the resident physician. This is also in charge of Franciscan sisters and Joseph Dutton. About seventy leper boys aie here provided for. 'They greeted the visitors with a song of welcome. Many of these children are sadly disfigured and enfeebled with their malady. Three of the party went three miles farther to the valley of Waikolu to inspect the waterworks. The main is a four-inch water pipe hung to the face of the perpendicular precipice for several thousand feet, and just above the heating of the surf. The new bath bouse was inspected, now being erected for the treatment oi Dr. (ioto's patients. 'The warm baths are medicated with certain Japanese herbs. The store maintained by the Board of Health was also examined. Returning to Kalaupapa, they called at the houses of various lepers, many of them well known Hawaiian*.

The New Organ. Central Union Church edifice has become complete in its furnishings by the inauguration of its new organ. On the evening of April :t Ist there was a full house assembled to hear the fine instrument put through its pacts. The four choirs of St Andrews, Kawaiahao, Kaumakapili and Central Union Churches all assisted in accompanying its tones with their voices. Mrs. Jucld, Miss L. F, Dale, Mr. Berger and Mr. W'ray 'Taylor took turns at the organ, Mr. 'Taylor closing the exercises with a grand display of the various stops. A collection of over $'J"0 was taken up towards payment for the organ, a few hundred dollars of which still remain to be secured. Our musical artists are greatly delight ed at this fine addition to the instrumental furnishing of our churches. May its rich tones long continue to draw many to the house of God, and help to kindle their hearts into earnest worship. �Vol. 51, No. 5.J THE FRIEND. 35 AN INDEPENDENT HAWAIIAN REPUBLIC. and controlled by the great and salutary- were the chiefcontributors to the expense Such is the chief alternative proposed instead of 'Territorial Government under the United States. It may be taken for granted that America would not annex Hawaii as a State. Our population is too small. Moreover, America would wish to test our capacities for self government before granting us the dignity and autonomy of a State. 'The restoration of the Monarchy is quite generally admitted to be out of the question. It has ceased to be considered hen: as a practical alternative. During the past month there has come to the front a more or less definite proposition to make Hawaii an independent Republic, supposed, we presume, to be guaranteed by the United States against foreign interference. To this scheme have been rallying mainly the elements in opposition to the Provisional G ivernment. General suffrage appears to he a part of the plan. If any limitations of suffrage are con te in plated, they have not appeared. 'The support of this scheme would seem to How not from a desire for good and stable government, but from the hopes of recovering rule by the class who have hitherto been leaders in political corruption under the monarchy. They would expect so to manipulate the native vote as to control legislation. By the arrival of Mi. Clans Spreckels the hopes of this ni:w combination are much raised. He looks very unfavorably upon annexation because it will put an end to contract labor for the plantations. He appears disposed to lend his immense financial influence in support of the new scheme. Mr. Spreckels is commonly spoken of in Honolulu as the most dangerous enemy which the cause ol annexation has encountered since the days of January. It is possible that his opposition has been exaggerated. He in.iv not yet have definitely adopted his policy of action. His movements mayhe merely tentative. 'That the outlook in that direction for good and stable government is an utterly lopeless one, we think to be the general sentiment of the intelligent body of our citizens who overthrew the monarchy. Their painful experience of the defects in the character of our voting constituencies las been so severe and continued as to destroy their confidence in the success of republican government not supported influence of the United States. Such a government would need to derive its authority from some very permanent and impregnable source of strength in order to hold in subjection the Asiatic elements constituting onehalf of the adult male population. They might clamor for a voting franchise for which they would be absolutely unfit. Japan has already initiated demands o* that sort in behalf of their subjects in Hawaii.. Some kind of Oligarchical Republic has been suggested a thing foreign to the genius of our citizens, and repulsive to their thought, save as a brief and temporary necessity. A peculiar form of oligarchy or perhaps autocracy seems to have been suggested in a replymade to objections as to the incompetency of the people for the conduct of an independent republic, "Oh, you knownothing of politics here!" A shrewd handler of "practical politics," such as might be imported from California, could possibly "boss" the whole concern, and run a Hawaiian Legislature to the satis faction of the Autocrat ami bis lieutenants. Is this the sort of Republic kindly proposed for Hawaii ? How much better would such rule be, and how much more would our civilization prosper under it, than what we have just overthrown ? Such are the issues agitating us in these days. Anglican Church Troubles. Our greatly esteemed brethren of the Anglican Church are having more than the ordinary share of internal troubles, which we trust they will be enabled worthily to endure and to deal with. For many years the great majority of the Honolulu membership of that church have seriously differed from their Bishop in respect to the conduct of public worship as well as other matters. In consequence they formed what has been known as the Second Congregation, which worshipped formerly under the ministry of Mr. Wallace, and latterly under that of Mr. Mackintosh. The First Congregation who continue under the personal ministrations of the Bishop and bis assistants, are few in numbers. They have nevertheless enjoySd precedence in the choice of their hours of worship in the Cathedral. The Second Congregation have been compelled by the Bishop to use somewhat inconvenient hours for their services at the same place, notwithstanding the fact that they of erecting the costly edifice. They have nevertheless prospered and increased, while it has been cpnte othei wise with the Bishop's congregation. Displeased with this state of things, his Lordship now pronounces this divis ion of the two Congregations occupying the same House to be schismatic and scandalous, and orders the Second Con gregation to unite with the First under the Bishop's presidency, or else to retire from the Cathedral, anil find othei quarters. 'The Second Congregation have met and vigorously protested, with energetic condemnation of the Bishop's course. 'The situation exhibits severe tension. There is a good display of English determination on both sides. We do not know what appeal or means of redress there is from the supreme Episcopal authority. We believe that memorials of some kind have been sent to the Arch bishop of Canterbury and to the Society lor the Propagation of the Gospel, who sent the Anglican Mission to Hawaii m 1803, and who still have some directing power. Meantime we of the older churches in Hawaii are on-lookers with the fiicndli We hardly believe that est regard. this collision is a fair sample of the ordinary working of the "Historic Episcopate." as directed by the usual sturdy Yet as it English common sense. was under the yoke of that Episcopate that the Lambeth) Bishops implored all dissenting Christians to bow their necks as the indispensable condition of that Christian Union for which the Bishops so ardently longed, we cannot but feel somewhat personally interested in the present working of the system. Foi ourselves we feel inclined to wait and see how our good brethren conn: out before we think about getting under then yoke. Meantime we heartily pray that they may receive abunda, t grace from on high to guide and fortify them in wisdom and patience. The March Rainfall was light in Honolulu, varying from oneto two inches in different sections of the lowei town, but reaching ten inches and upwards in Xuuanu Valley. In Hilo and Hamakua, it varied from seven to twenty inches. Thirty inches recoided at Olaa. Kona received from 2 to 3 inches. Believers should not have a slavish dread of death ; where is the infant that fears to go to sleep in his nurse's arms ? �THE 36 Thy Kingdom Come. All who beai the Christian name, are taught this petition from infancy. All who are loyal to Heaven, pray from the heart that God may come to rule on earth without any opposition, and with perfect sway. All enlightened Chris tians believe that this happy condition of the world will come to pass through the complete and loving submission of mankind to the Lord Jesus Christ, (iod's Son anil Delegate to Faith. Every thoughtful Christian must therefore love to watch and observe the signs of the progress ol Christ's supi em acy over the hearts and lives of men. Whatever seems to forward that pro gress is a joy to him. Whatever bin tiers or subverts righteousness and enlightenment in any part of the world, is a grief to him, because it undoes the work of Christ. It is in this interest ol the advancing reign of Christ that the progress of liberty anil just government is intensely interesting to earnest and loyal Christians. Free and righteous Civil Government is the harbinger of the Reign of the Lord. It prepares the way for Him. It trains and teaches men to live along the lines ol benevolence and public spirit and active helpfulness, and personal support of right laws and right living, which must be characteristic of the reign of Christ. For that reign and Dominion of the Lord will be complete when all men have learned spontaneously and with order to work together for the common welfare, and for the suppression of everything injurious. For this reason every enlightened loyal disciple of Christ naturally gravitate* to an ardent support of all progress in Civil Liberty and Just Government. They prepare the way for the coming triumph of the Lord. We hate corruption in public affairs because it stands right across His way. We rejoice to see decayed and antiquated systems of bail government give place to higher and better forms, because those prepare men for nobler living, and so for following Christ. We watch with gladness the progress and growth of great enlightened nations, because with them run the hopes of the world for light and freedom and Christ. In this Higher Politics it is natural for Christian men to be deeply interested. They cannot be indifferent, nor inert. Their piety, their loyalty, tbeii benevolence, their hope, all move them to take an active part. Of course they may greatly err as to the road to liberty and righteous government. 'They may greatly differ as to the means to heemployed. And yet there are times when Right is so clearly arrayed against Wrong, and Light against Darkness that there seems no room to doubt. 11 [May, FRIEND. Mr. F. M.

He fought bravely on the Confederate side in the Civil War. He has served in ten successive terms, from Georgia, in the U S. Congress. Col. Blount is stoutly built, with blueeyes, gray hair, and the strong solid chin expressive of determination. He is clean shaven, keen but kindly in look, and deliberate in speech, with a highly developed gift of saying no more than he chooses to say, and saying that very clearly. Among the many likenesses published of him the only one we have seen conveying his habitual expression is a small one in the Illustrated American of April Ist. Mr. Blount has carefully questioned a large number of our citizens, some of them for hours together, their replies being carefully recorded. His questions are searching, but discriminating, evincing an honest pursuit of the truth, and Conveying a sense of the absence of prejudice. His manner is such as to inspire confidence, and to beget a very strong and cordial regard for himself, with an assurance that truth and j- stice will be vindicated by his laborious and diligent investigations. I', Col. Claus Spreckels is weighing the pros and Cona for annexation. He seems to incline strongly towards a Republic, under a Protectorate.

In the Devotional Work is reported a long list of meetings in thirteen classes, »fs3 m all during the year, with an aggregate attendance of 13,33a. The various other committees show a large amount of active and useful labor, proving the Y. M. (.'. A. to be one of the most effective of our agencies of Christian work. The ex-Queen's messengers to Wash Mr. Paul Neumann, and Prince David Kawananakoa, together with Mr. !•'.. C. Macfailane, returned to Honolulu April 7th. The Royalist natives turned out in great force to give them an oV.ition for having succeeded in creating sentiment in America adverse to annexation. 'Their arrival was attended with the prevalence of positive statements among the natives that Mr. Blount had orders to replace the Queen upon the throne, and that be was about to do so immediately. This excited condition of the Hawaiian mind continued for nearly two weeks. These absurd reports seem to have been employed by the royalists in order to deter the natives from enrolling themselves on the Annexation lists, as 'hey hud hegun largely to do. This effect of intimidation was secured in Honolulu for a while. Meantime the friends of the government, irritated by the violent language of the enemy, began to denounce the royalist plotting in terms that created much alarm to the ex Queen and her partisans. A quite efficient damper was adminis tired to these false hopes by Commissioner Blount's reply on the 18th, to the "Women's Patriotic League," to the effect that be was not empowered to restore the Cjueen, as they were peti tioning him to do. ington, �Vol. 51, No. 5.] Wholesale Poisoning of Governthe ks. evening of S oinii On ment April llth, about two hours after their supper, about thirty of the company of enlisted men at the 1 iai racks were taken more or less violently ill with vomiting and purging, exhibiting the symptoms ol having eaten some irritant poison. An ecpial number of Company A, ol the Volunteers were similarly attacked. These men were stationed at the Govern mint House. 'They bad eaten supper at the Barracks. An examination of such remains ol food as were obtainable, by the Government Chemist, disclosed no poison. It may have been a poison naturally generated in the food ; or it may have been some Vegetable poison not answering to known tests. No facts have transpired to justify a belief that the poisoning was intentional or malicious. We regard the following from an editorial in the P. C. Advertiser as cor rcctly expressing the expectation and purpose of the white annexationists, respecting the voting franchises of Hawaiians: "The fact,however, that the I tawaiians are imperfectly qualified for the arduous work of government, does not mean that they are to be excluded from political privileges, and are to have no further voice in the affairs of their native country. Annexation is not intended as a means of depriving them of then political rights. It will simply put beyond their power to threaten or destroy two things—the stability of the government and the civil liberty of the citizen. Annexation is, in ire than anything else, an attempt to secure these two things. Thi attempt to maintain them under the monarchy has been a long failure, and it will never be tried in this country again. "The precise form of Hawaii's government under annexation is a matter for the future to decide. The principles which have shaped American polity for a hundred years will not be abandoned. 'There will be no class legislation, and no color line. There will be a franchise, and the Hawaiians will be admitted to it. — E The x-Queen, Liliuokalani, has never been member of any church, although more or less habitual attendant at the Kawaiahao Church, and as we believe a stated contributor to its support of public worship there. Her persistent fidelity to her early church associations is to her credit, notwithstanding any obstacles which may have existed to her seeking or obtaining mem bership in the church. 'The missionaries were always exacting on that subject. a a THE FRIEND. Tin-: Anti-Annkxation Movement appears to be chiefly active among th e natives in Honolulu.

Causes of Decrease of the Maories 'The New Zealand census of 1891 shows the Maori population of nearly 13,000, to have continued stationary since IMSO. The pure blood Maories however, are decreasing. The tendency to decrease, which is shown especially by the comparative paucity of children, is attributed by the Very able Government Report to the following causes: "An excessive infant mortality caused by improper food, exposure, want of ordinary care and cleanliness ; the constitutions of the parents debilitated by past debauchery the practice of placing their sick in the hands eif the native doctor or Tohunga, instead of applying to the medical officer; etc., etc. 'These causes of mortality are among those enumerated in S.

I This psSJS is deeoleil to the interests of the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Hoard is resp msilile for its i onuiils. Rev. O. I Emerson, - Editor. Now is an extra good time to give to the Hawaiian Hoard, for several reasons: Ist, the books for the year close with the IfcHh inst.; 2nd, they will have to close with a deficit (see Treasurer's report elsewhere) unless Sufficient funds come in ; Sft), our anxiety is not so niueh for the closing of the hooks as for the opening of ■ debit account for the meeting of the neetls of our Workmen in the held ; Ith, anxiety for the peace of milld of the Treasurer also prompts US to speak. Tlie financial problem he is now at work on is too hard a one for him to solve without aid. If the subjoined extracts from the late Mission Reports are true, the course ol the (lospel in Micronesia as was that ol tin: Morning Star during its last trip would seem to be beset with serious obstacles. As if the struggle with the heathen powers were not enough, there is added this opposition to Gospel truth which works from tho centers of civilization, ami is wrought by the hands of those whose craft is made safe and remunerative by the very presence of the missionaries whom they oppose. The missionary may tame the savage a little so that the trailer can use him profitably and without danger to himself. But after that kind of rough work is done he has no further use for the missionary. Verily between the devil anil the deep sea it does seem as if our good captain, missionaries anil all have a hard time of it. From Rev. J. M. Channon's Report. Nam, or Pleasant Island.- The work this island is in a critical condition owing to the attitude of the German The Governor taboos authorities. church building until he is asked by the people independently of the teachers, which the chiefs take as an insult. This year the Governor informed me that we had no title to our churches and buildings and mission grounds, and that our teachers were holding their stations only by courtesy of the German government, and that on their leaving the island at any time they would not he allowed to return, nor would I be permitted to land a new teacher in their place or at any new station. It is already time that one at least of the men teachers had a vacation or was transferred to another island. The Governor has also forbidden the Ofl [May, 1893. THE FRIEND. 40 teachers' wives helping in the schools' also the teachers from preaching in other villages than their own. If, therefore, no concession can he gained from the commissioner at Jaluij, it is only a question of a year or two at most before we shall have to abandon the work in the island entirely. At Butaritari, the next island visited. we found the work in good condition, but in great need of teachers. Maka, the faithful Hawaiian veteran was at his post, hut his wife was in a bad condition being paralysed in all the muscles of he r body. in so helpless a condition that she was unable to undertake the long voyage to Honolulu. The king of this island is a Christian and has just returned from America. He was very anxious that his people should he taught and asked for several teachers. There is only one teacher for SOOO people. Strict temperance laws are enforced over the natives, but the white foreigners keep an open saloon in defiance. The king has asked the English who have assumed a pro tectorate, to help close the saloon. The Captain of the English man of-war said he might tax it; perhaps the saloon can not afford to pay taxes and so will be closed. At Miikin we found the work in a prosperous condition. At Marakei we found Rev. Kanoho (a Hawaiian missionary) holding the fort against the heathen element. Satan is very strung a iffI there is much darkness on the island. Kanoho has been busy and faithful during the year, but he needs help anil rest. His wife is paralyzed also, but only on one sitle. Tarawa. For more than a year this island has been suffering from war. Last year Mr. VValkupdestroyed '.Ml guns, and the chiefs promised to keep the peace, hut after Mr. Walkup left, they again went to killing one another. The British man-of-war came later and destroyed more guns, anil since then there has been no fighting, but on landing I hear rumors ol war. All the cocoanuts have been tabooed and are brought to the trailer to paydebts, and during the war a great manytrees were cut down so that Rev. Terooi has had a hard time during the year past, even to get enough to eat. Maiana. As we go southward through the group, the heathenism increases and we appreciate more fully the results of missionary work which was begun in the northern portion, and has always been prosecuted more vigorously there. Lotto has a good school this year and has sent out two from it as teachers to other parts of the islands. Nonouti. —All the teachers at Nonouti have stood linn and kept their schools well. A good evangelist preacher is very much needed in this island. I hope that a Hawaiian missionary can he sent here. Tapiteuea.—Schools are small here. Rev. Z. Paaluhi is gradually gaining a second start. Rev. Kaaia's church is in good condition, but he has no steady school. The natives here are busy dancing as of old. From Capt. Garland's Report. August Ist, I 5.1.!, at 6 p.m., while steaming in a calm, a large steel pin holding the high pressure rocker to the frame of the engine broke. Having no steel for re-paiis we steered For l'oliapc 80 miles-distant. I tried to enter the harbor at the Spanish colony, hut head winds prevented, so anchored in Kiti harbor August 4th. The same day I sent tin engineer with a letter to the governor slating that my ship was in distreßS and asking il lie could let me have materials for repairs. He was very angry because I did not bring the ship into harbor at the colony, ami while he allowed the engineer to. look for steel on the ships in port, he detained him over and called his officers togetlli I one night for consultation. At first lie intended to send a transport after me and tow IhcStar to the colony, but finally sent me the letter which I enclose. Of couise 1 had to make to the colony 15 miles in my boat. I expected hot times. This man l-'lanih / is simply acting govt nun in place ol one who resigned several months ago. He proved to be it ''lamb" a-ftel all. 11l a very few minutes 1 convinced him and the justice that I was neither a pirate nor ii smuggle r, and not even in league with the natives, lit was gentlemanly from the lirst, and I,'although exaapel alid by his letter, tried to be the saint-. There was much red tape to be measured off. 1 had to go before the naval com ill,mile r and answel questions liom a book offorms for two hours. My .ins we is were wi itten down and I signed them. We were delayed by them three days and we could get nothing for repairs. Aniveil itt Kusaic the second time Aug. 19th, and sailed the 24th for the: Marshall Islands with Dr. Pease and family, and Miss Little, and Marshall giils, as passengers, IB in all. At times we- had 80 passengers on board which is unusual in this group. We now dug up the shaft of the old Morning Star's capstan, which was under the coal for ballast. The lathe was put in order and was put to uselul employ ment for the lirst time since leaving Boston in I*B4. A pin was turned out of the capstan shaft and finished Aug. ■>'.). The lathe is run by foot power and we are much indebted to the Marshall School bins, for their help ;ind also later on to the Gilbert School boys. Sept. 15: the new pin made by the engineers broke after running 6}<j days. In two days they had a new one finished and ready for use. Oct. $1, the circulating pump broke down, leaving us again without Steam. Repairs were finished Nov. meantime r (, ) days) we made M miles in a direction ., �THE FRIEND. about a right angle to our desired course. Six times after this that pump gave out once while the ship was in Apaiang channel. At one time daring the Gilbert Island trip, things looked quite serious for us, not only because we could not steam, but because we could not, withoutthe pump, use the condenser for making fresh water. There had been no rain in the group for nine months and there is no good water on the islands. I'he traders could not sell us any he cause their tanks were dry and we had We but 400 gallons for 7<» people. have never before been so short of witter. It is plain enough that the Germans are trying 10 drive the American mis sionariea from the Marshall Islands. at They do not want anybody or thing there which will in any way hinder their money making. They have no use for us. It is the same on Pleasant Island which is under their protection. No new teacher can be landed there. The two who are there can only preach, each in his own church. They cannot exchange or go to any other part of the island to preach or to teach. Their wives are not allowed to teach or help in the work. If they leave the island they forfeit the right to come back, so says the governor. The traders do not want the natives enlightened, at least by Americans. They get too many independent ideas. It is said, and I believe it, that the leading linn on Jaluit pay the expense of the government in the islands, excepting The expense of the ships of war. They in turn squeeze it out of the natives in tiixes. It takes the natives now about nine months of the year to pay their t;txes. It is it shame the Germans cannot make it right to come in and force the natives to support them. Protection! the word has lost its meaning in this case. And now the new commissioner hits shown bis hand by arresting two of our newly placed teachers and taking them to Jaluit, because, its he says, the government was not notified. I cannot say that Dr. Pease made a format declaration of hii intention to occupy new islands, but the commissioner knew it, for 1 heard Dr. Pease tell bun so in his office. These arretted teachers were charged so much a day for their fare on German vessels after being taken from their islands. They cannot pay the bill, and I have no doubt but that it will be presented either to Dr. Pease or myself when we next go there. There is nothing right or just about it, and I shall not pay them a cent on such a bill unless I receive instructions beforehand from the Board to do so. So what will you have me do in such a case ? The Germans are after us in a more dogged manner than are the Spanish. It is not improbable that by our next trip they will prohibit our taking scholars away from the protectorate to a foreign land, i.e., to Kusaie (where the school is). That would seem to settle the Marshall Island question for missionary work. Bishop Willis on Missionaries' Sons. II ,1.111 tl.e I'arifu: I ..inmereial Advertiser.] Mk. Hon ok:—In his rejoinder to my article in Till PtIKND, Bishop Willis disclaims reference to the lather missionaries, in his charge of having for fifty years past plotted the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy. I will indulge in no question of the worthy Bishop's veracity. Unless more light conies, Tin-: I ; kii-:ni> will credit him with the disclaimer. His language, however, would seem to have been ill-adapted to convey the sense winch he now puts upon it. There is not space to quote all that bears upon the point. The curious can read it for themselves. One thing, no missionaries' sons were in Hawaii nei "fifty years" ago, save a very few growing bids, not very likely to be plotting against the King. Again, he compares us to Simeon and Levi, who conquered Shechem under the cloak of religion. Our fathers might conceivably have done so base an act, but we sons do not seem to have got our footing here by means of any such conspiracy. For myself, I arrived here without any plan of my own, to the extent of my recollec tion. If 1 wits guilty of any conspiracy in getting into the country at the early age when I ai rived, I assure my friend the Bishop, that I have forgotten it. As natives of the country, we recognize our obligations as citizens to cooperate in securing good government, and resisting lawless tynanny, like the bite attempt of the Queen. The Bishop seems to be devoid of any sense ol the unspeakable pollutions of the late dynasty, for all which he employs the line phrase, "a failure to attain a certain ideal of perfection.'' There lies before me its a sample of that dynasty, a certain notorious coronation hula programme which successfully attained an ideally perfect mistiness. The Bishop ends by saying that "according to the Rev. S. I-,. Bishop the course to be pursued in such a case (of missionaries unsuccessful in their labors) is to send for foreign troops with guns and bayonets, overthrow the government, and place the land under their own national flag." I notice this only because it re-asserts a persistent falsehood of the royalist party, i.e., that the United State forces lent aid to those who displaced the Queen's government. Those forces were strictly neutral throughout the whole affair. They were landed, 150 men in all, by the order of the American Minister, solely for the protection of life and property against public disorder. It was done at the request of the Committee of Public Safety, but strictly in accordance with the standing instructions of President Cleveland's Secretary of State, Thomas Y. Bayard, now Minister to Kngland, to the then American Minister Merrill. Those instructions are dated July 12, 1887, and read as follows : ••While we abstain f,utii interference with the domestic affairs of Hawaii, in accordance with the policy and practice of this government, yet obstructions to the channels of legitimate commerce, under existing treaty must not be allowed, and American citizens in Honolulu must be protected in their persons and property by the representatives of their country s law and power, and no internal discord must be suffered to impair them. Your own aid and counsel, as well as the assistance of our Government vessels, if found necessary, will therefore be promptly afforded to protect the reign of law and respect for the orderly government of Hawaii." In accordance with those standing instructions the American forces were landed. They remained absolutely neutral throughout the whole proceedings. So far from their supposing that those forces were to assist the Provisioal Government to get possession of power, the Queen's ministers asked Mi. Stevens, as late as 9 p.m. on the 17th, to use those forces in aid of the Queen, which he refused to do. It is wholly untrue that the I'. S. forces took any part in gaming the result. or that any ground was given for expecting that they would do so. The Queen's forces were simply paralysed by their own lack of organization, and by the panic produced by the determined mass meeting of citizens the day before. When the head of the Anglican Church —no doubt ignorant!}' re-issues this hard-worked royalist falsehood, it is quite time for somebody to nail it down to the plank. One of the useful services which the visit of U. S. Commissioner Blount may be expected to render, will be to set such untruths finally at rest. S. I-;. Bishop, Honolulu, April Bth, 1803. - We have to add to the above, that several fiiends who read the Bishop's language in the Diocesan Magazine, assure us that they understood it as we did, to charge the alleged plotting upon the father missionaries as well as then sons. In construing, his language bowever, it is necessary to bear in mind that his ideas of both ecclessiastica! and civil polity belong to the age of Laud and Strafford, when Kings and Bishops reigned by Divine and Absolute right, and all opposition to them was treason against God. Dr. Willis is doubtless sinceie, although he gets confused in his efforts to adjust obsolete notions to modern fact. The watchful Christian is one who would not be over-surprised if he found Christ coming at once; he would not have something to do first, something to get ready. �THP; FRIEND. Kii.al'ea, by latest advices, is approach ing a condition of unusual display, and of accessibility for visitors. The lake has risen to within perhaps 120 feet of the rim of Halemaumau pit. Visitors habitually descend to the running lava, pouring from the frequent overflows of the great lire-lake of ten acres of area, with its tremendous fountains. A new and very satisfactory feature is the excellent horse trail lately made over the lava, so that for two dollars, visitors are enable to ride most confortahly the entire three miles from the hotel to the brink of Halemaumau and hack, thus saving a severe outlay of strength. HAWAIIAN HARDWARE CO., LIMITED, The Cyclorama of the Volcano of Kilauea at Chicago is reported to be a wonderf.l combination of the painter's art,and of mechanical devices fordisplaying running lava, blow holes, lire jets, and the rest of Pelt's machinations.

Mr. Blount was only 13 days from Wash- ington, The Del was also unexpected thai Mi Blount is not accompanied by any colleagues, it having been currently reported in tht American papers, that two 01 more colleagues would aid him as members o( the Commission.

We have no doubt that his duties here involve the most serious con Number 4. Removal of the American Flag. Whatever may have impaired the condition of independence and autonomy of this Government, is now 'emoved, and the Hawaiian Government is again oerfectly and in every sense independent. The annexationists by no means appear to be cast down. They are disposed to interpret the event favorably to their cause, as being the removal of an alleged incapacity of this Government to negotiate a Treaty while under even the very limited sort of a Protectorate understood to exist. No evidence, however, as yet has transpired, that Mr. Mount has any negotiations in view. The Royalists, on their part are cautious and moderate in their expressions of gratification, as if doubting what would be the next step taken. Many strange and extravagant rumors are circulating. In the midst of all the Commissioner preserves a sphinx-like attitude of silence, and the public, at this writing of April 3d, awaits with anxiety the next step in his programme. The Hawaiian revolution, thus far, and we trust always, bloodless, is nevertheless very dramatic in its successive On the arrival of the U. S. Commissioner Blount, the business portion of the city front blossomed out gorgeously in a profuse display of American flags til all sizes.

It has an especial interest, as being written by the eminent missionary who estab lished the famous Robert College ol Con stantinople, the venerable Cyius Hamlin, L.L.D., and who was also the brother of Vice-President Hannibal Hamlin, whose name is associated with that of Lincoln. LEXINGTON, March 4, 1899. My Dkar Mr. Portkr, I am glad to know that you are acquainted with Mr. Dole, who is at the timately acquainted with his father in Bowdoin College. Together with his cousin, Nathan Dole, we established a Society of Inquiry on Missions. Six or eight students belonged to it, of whom three at least entered the foreign field. Dole was from the beginning very sincerely consecrated to the work among the heathen. He was a diligent and careful student, not brilliant but faithful to every department of studdy. He was something of a poet, or as he would say, he did not write poetry but he made rhymes. We belonged to the same college societies. In those primitive times every society had its annual celebration, with an oration and, if possible, a poem. We had a "Theological Society," handed down to us from former years. The object was not to study theology, but to keep track of the isms and sects that divided the church. It was rather church history than theology that we studied. I was appointed to give. the oration and Dole the poem. He naturally roamed over the heathen world with its lights and shades, and the coming glory of the millenium. He wanted more i riental names than he could command so as to choose such as the laws of versification demanded. He came to me for help, and I gave him a list of such oriental names as I could gather from Sir William Jones and other writers on the orient. While he was delivering his poem, I recognized my oriental friends under characters which probably they never bore. In those days of sealing wax, sentimental seals ware various and numerous. 1 fell in with one that struck me as beautiful and impressive. It was a lone mortal in a little boat at sea, gazing at a solitary star, with the legend around the picture, "If I lose thee, I am lost." Though minute, it made an admirably clear impression upon the wax. 1 referred to it in one of our prayer meetings as the Star of Bethlehem. The next morning Dole gave me a really beautiful hymn the refrain of which was "If I lose thee lam lost." I kept it many years but cannot find it now. Dole was every way an excellent man, and I am delighted to see his son in such an honorable and influential position. In Bangor Theological Seminary, a little later, the same band was joined by J. D. Paris and Flias Bond. All three, Dole, Paris, and Bond have done immortal work on theHawaiian Islands. I am yours, Cyrus Hamlin. — Mrs. Leavitt'sLectures. During the latter part of her stay, Mrs. M. C. Leavitt favored the Honolulu public with two most graphic lectures on what she personally observed in Siam and Burmah, and in Madagascar, where she penetrated to the Capital, Antinanarivo. �Vol. 51, No. 4.J Bishop Willis on Missionaries. In the last issue of the Honolulu Diocesan Magazine on March ISth, much space was given by the Bishop to a diatribe against the American Mis sionaries and their children. The substance of his accusation is, that having been most hospitably received by the chiefs and people as their guests, both the father missionaries and their sons have always and persistently plotted for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy, and for the absorption of these Islands by the United States, a course of action which he compares to the conquest of Shechem by Simeon and Levi under the cloak of religion, and which he denounces in the severe language of Jacob. Were so plainly and absurdlyfalse a charge to be made by an unconspicuous person, we should pay no attention to it. As however, it proceeds from the head of the Anglican Church in Hawaii, it may be proper to notice it, as the position of its author will probably give it authority in many places where his peculiar mental structure is not understood. The attitude of our Missionary fathers toward the Hawaiian Monarchy is established matter of history, as every intelligent reader of that history well understands. The continued existence of the independent native monarchy of the Kamehamehas, was due, under (rod, wholly to the loyal, wise, and zealous efforts of the American Missionaries. With the greatest labor and patience, they enlightened the chiefs and the people, and inspired them with desire and purpose toward a Christian civilization. They persuaded the rulers to grant a liberal Constitution. They helped to train the people heartily to co-operate in sound legislation and administration. As the result, an aboriginal monarchy of the dark race has retained supremacy over a large and wealthy white community for fifty years; and it is the only instance on the globe of such a thing. Bishop Willis accuses the missionaries of having always plotted the overturn ol the monarchy, when but for their cherishing and guiding influence, the throne would have succumbed very early to hostile foreign intrigues, as every small native throne in the world has done as soon as foreign commerce got a solid foothold. The sons of the missionaries have always been proud of their fathers' noble achievement. They in turn have been loyal and zealous supporters of the native monarchy and of Hawaiian independence. That they have mostly ceased to be thus loyal is due solely to the gross corruption and decadence of the monarchy since theKamehamehas ceased from the throne, making its longer continuance incompatible with civilized institutions. We had hoped for a somewhat longer lease of life to the monarchy. Its THE FRIEND. inevitable end was precipitated by the wild act of the (jueen. In view of the many conflicting and dangerous elements within and without this dear and honored Island home of ours, which threaten disturbance and anarchy, we would gratefully recognize the protecting and guiding Providence which now seems to offer to Hawaii so safe and beneficent a shelter as that of the American Union, which ensures equal rights and full justice to all classes of its citizens. Every one must know that every native Hawaiian willbe a full citizen u'f the United States whenever Annexation shall be accomplished. It is not improbable that Bishop Willis and some of his coterie believe that the native Hawaiiana are to be treated as pariahs. Such an idea has been sedu'ously taught Hawaiiana ol late. They will have full citizenship and equal civil lights, and every person who asserts the contrary, is uttering what is a most base and cruel falsehood. We who advocate annexation are doing it not merely as for the general welfare of Hawaii, but because we believe it will be for the highest interests of the native Hawaiians as well. They will be delivered limn the heathenizing influence of the Court, which has long been dragging them down and destroying them. They will enjoy and profit by the powerlully elevating influences of American liberty and American citizenship. There is no enemy of Hawaiians so pernicious as be who would restore the unspeakable native monarchy. Annexation to Japan. This was the prescription recently made by Sir Edwin Arnold for the relief of Hawaii from its present unsettled political status. He offered it in the London Daily Telegraph. He knows Japan intimately, having maintained peculiar domestic relations with the people, and having been, with his leanings to Buddhism, much in the confidence of that government. Having last year spent six delightful hours in the company of the (jueen and her premier Sam Parker, he also knows all about Hawaii, and just what is good for us. At first we did not take seriously the possibly facetious proposition of the would be Laureate. We fancied it must be his way of paying a pretty co-npliment to bis dear Japanese. It now appears that there was a good deal more in it, and that the Japanese government have really not been without aspirations to enlarge their empire in this direction. Main rumors are afloat, and some facts are ti.inspiring about thee/rand hither of the splendid Japanese cruiser Naniva, which has been lying in this harbor since February 23rd. She sailed from home on the Bth, soon after news of our revolution was received in Japan. She is called one of the most powerful 27 ships in the navy. On board of her came Prince Komatsu a nephew of the Mikado, and son of Prince Arisugowa, who is a field marshal in the Japanese army. He is said to have been the one for whom Kalakaua once planned an alliance with the Princess Kaiulani. A high diplomatic representative of the Japanese Government also came on the Xniiiva. He visited Hilo on the training ship Ron go, and has been busy among the Japanese immigrants here. As to rumors, the Nauiva is said to have enough small arms on board to equip two or three thousand men ; also that as many as 1500 of the Japanese on this island have served in the army. 1 hat government have greatly encouraged the emigration to Hawaii. In that, there may have been no sinister design. We do not place very much dependance upon these rumors. But theknown facts are somewhatremarkable. Hawaii's relations to Japan have always been the most agreeable. The Japanese representatives indignantly deny the current rumor that the Naniva came here with any intention of taking possession of the Islands. It looks somewhat improbable that Japan would think of attempting such a thing while negotiations with Washington continued to be in progress. Still, in the possibility of their failure, it might be well for Japan tocome prepared to improve an opportunity. On the whole, it would seem to have been quite as well that the Naniva, on her arrival, found the American Flag floating over the Government House, and the U. S. forces in actual occupation. We may-now even feel thankful for the unpleasant pressure from another quarter which led our Provisional Government to seek the powerful protection of that flag,and which thusfrustrated in advance any possible schemes th..t the Naniva may have come freighted with. The whole affair is most suggestive of the unwisdom of seeking to maintain the independence of Hawaii in the midst of the increasing stress and strife of colliding political elements in the Pacific. / To pronounce Hawaii correctly, say Hah wye-ec, accenting wye. It will not be very far wrong to pronounce the name like "How-are-ye ?" Capt. Cook called it "O-whyhee." He- affixed an O, which is a kind of definite article used by the natives, and mistaken by Cook for part of the name itself. Besides this, Cook inserted an h before the last syllable I, pronounced cc, making it hee. "Why-ec" is very nearly correct. All missionaries throughout the world, in reducing native words to writing, employ the continental sounds ola,e, i, o, v, 00. At pronouncing them ah, ay, is a diphthong, pronounced eye, also an, pronounced ow. By following the above simple rules, any Hawaiian (hah wyeyun) word will be easily pronounced. �28 [April, 1893. THE FRIEND. Alleged Royalty and Japanese Plot. 'The Hawaiian Star of April Ist, alleges the existence of a conspiracy between the ex-Queen and the commander of the Japanese warship Naniwa, to land his forces after the removal of the American flag, arm a large number of Japanese on shore who are accustomed to arms, and replace Liliuokalani upon the throne under a Japanese protectorate. The P. C. Advertiser of the 3rd, having interviewed the Japanese Commissioner, is inclined to discredit the report. The "Star" of the 3rd reaffirms it strongly. We refrain from expressing any positive opinion upon the truth or error of this allegation. The "Star" claims to be in possession of abundant evidence of the fact. We have great confidence in the veracity and discernment of the Editor. On the other hand, we find it diffici'lt to believe that the ex-Queen would entertain so mad a project, one so necessarily d- ;tructive to herself, and one so insulting to the United States and their Commissioner, whose removal of the flag has been hailed by the royalists with so much satisfaction. The language of denial employed by the Japanese Commissioner, is shown by the analysis of the Star to be quite evasive. We are inclined towards an opinion that partisans of the exQueen may have been concerned in such a plot, without the personal connivance of herself. A marked degree of excitement has been very manifest among the numerous Japanese of the city for several days. The Provisional Government is strong, well armed, and well able to handle any insurrection on shore, which is not aided by foreign forces. We are fully competent to assert that the Japanese authorities on shore and afloat, are entirely aware that the United States will permit, no interference whatever with the Hawaiian Government by any foreign power, while the present negotiations are pending. In view of the menacing attitude of Japan towards these Islands, as shown in many marked and significant ways, the ultimate solution of the political problem cannot be doubted as lying in a speedy annexation to the United States, or failing that, in cession to Great Britain, as the next most desirable Christian Protector. Independence has thoroughly ceased to be a possibility. We have no doubt, however, of the favorable action of the United States. . 'J The devil is not afraid of a dusty Bible. I find that doing the will of God leaves me no room for disputing about his plans. Japan in Bonabk. —Since the above was put in type, the fact has transpired, through the arrival of the Morning Star, that the Japanese Government are trying to negotiate with Spain for the cession to them of the Island of Bonabe, or Ascension. It thus appears very definitely that Japan is stretching out for the possession of Pacific Islands. It seems really impossible to doubt that Japan has come into the list as an active competitor for the possession of Hawaii. 'To this Oriental domination Sir Edwin Arnold would cheerfully sacrifice us. rather than see us fall to detested America, like the mother of the dead child in the trial before Solomon, who would willingly see the living child of her rival slain. In the midst of this rivalry, a continued independence of Hawaii is a chimercal idea.

Bond. Mr. Bond was one of the most esteemed and beloved of Hawaii's former residents. We hear of his death at West Newton, February 11. He first came to these islands for health in 185 L He held office as a Circuit Judge on Kauai, and subsequently from 1856 to 1861, as District Attorney on Maui. Returning to his native Boston, he became the founder and Secretary of the Union Safe Deposit Company, in which service he continued until his death. We were on terms of peculiar intimacy with Mr. Bond at Lahaina. Although as a Unitarian, and previously a minister of that denomination, we differed in theological opinions, we found him one of the devouted, sweetest, most unselfish Christians that we have ever known, and profoundly attached to our common Master and Lord. He was always in active sympathy with the American Missionaries. His son, Lawrence Bond, is the Hawaiian Consul for Boston, residing with his two sisters at the paternal home at West Newton. 29 THE FRIEND. Tin- Rev. 1). Y.

Little, who, alter live years ot successful work in the Girls' School at Kusnie, returns to her home in Oherlin to seek rest. Miss Jennie Fletcher also came in the Star fro n Mokil. The Girls' School, which was moved thither from Ponape, h is been disbanded, and the last of the Miss pupils has been sent home. Fletcher's work in Micronesia is probably done, but it has been s noble one. The part sin: took during those sail days of Ponapean strife was a brave one, and we even thought it heroic. And now with br.ik :n health and in sickness she goes h line to her people in the United States. Miss Rose Kinney, of the (nils' School at Kuk, who came with Miss Fletcher to care for her in her sickness, is to oo no further, but is to return to her post on the return voyage of the Star. The news lias come ill the late severe illness of Rev. Mr. Snelling of Kuk, and also of the fact that Captain Worth and the Robert Logan may be expected here before long. The Robert Logan is in need of repairs. The Ponape question seems no nearer a solution than at first. Perhaps the best solution would be for the Japanese to buy Ponape of the Spaniards, and then take the mission into their own hands. Mr. and Mrs. Rand and Miss FosS propose to hold the fort at Mokil. Dr. and Mis. Pease and Miss Little mule a successful tour of the Marshall field, but the dm tor and family are to return to the States next year without fail. Mr. Channon and his Training School of twenty six, and Miss Hoppin's Girls' School of fifteen, made the tour of the Gilbert islands. There were just fortythree of them in all, while Dr. Pease and Miss Little took along in their tour of the Marshall group some forty-five. Once again the general meeting of the Gilbert Islands mission failed. Revs. Channon and Maka did the locating of the new Hawaiian missionaries. Rev. Nua is located at Hutaritari; Rev. Mahihila at Maiana, and Rev. Kaai at Apaian This last brother, who is settled over that demoralized and lapsed church, sends a pathetic appeal for remembrance in prayer. [April, 1893. The Hiram Bingham is reported by the Rev. Maka to have reached Butaritari Dec. 15, 1592, and to have sailed thence four days later (the Htth of December,) in search of the Star.

The girls rested themselves on the verandah, in spite of the kin"'s oft repeated call, until he became a little irritated and bade them come in at once. You remember the ponderous figure His wife is well suited to him in figure, and looked immtnse, as she was in a black print holoku, with huge yellow polka dots. The king was dressed in a light outing shirt and woolen trousers. Part of the time his shoes adorned his feet; part of the time they occupied a prominent post on a chest in the verandah. You hardly saw his ponderosity to good advantage in San Francisco; here, unburdened by a heavy coat, and with his foot on his native sands—his influenza a thing of the past —he became genial in the extreme and jovially reminiscent. I was introduced as the friend of his travels, and called upon to corroborate man}- incidents. As Mr. Channon said afterward, probably his people had shown too much incredulity with regard to his marvellous tales, and I had accomplished a mission in vindicating him and establishing his character for veracity. But what do you suppose impressed him most in his travels? Not the immense buildings and crowds of people, nor the splendor of lolani palace, nor all the display of the queen's surroundings, but the break-down of the carriage onthat Saturday afternoon when we rode with Over and over, with most graphic tones and gestures, he told the story; he would insist that the horse was crazy, and that we were all in danger of being eaten. His heavy face really grew animated as he talked; Jessie said he seemed glad to have found a chum to talk over old times with. When we took our leave, the king made us promise to come back at 12 o'clock "to taste a little food;'' and we were glad to accept on account of the girls. The girls were soon busy with their washing. Jessie and I sitting on a mat, took turns leading to one another till if was time to see if the girls had all donned dry dresses and combed their hair in readiness to start for the king's house. A long time we spent in waiting in his sitting room; but at last, after much running hither and thither of the men and women about the place, the king led us across the yard to his eating-house, and the full glory ot the banquet burst upon our vision. A long table was covered with a cloth of un bleached cotton, and places were laid for ten, each provided with knife and fork and large spoon, and a generous soup-plateful of rich looking chicken soup, with a generous quantity of the chicken in it. The centre-piece on the table was a mammoth dish pan full of baked fish, this was flanked by platters of chicken of the king? — THE FRIEND. and plates of babai (the coarse taro that Tennyson's Kapiolani. grows here).

Our family often lodged at her hospitable house on the lava rocks near the present site of Cook's monument, when on our way to visit the missionary home at Kuapehu, two miles inland, where grew roses, grapes, coffee and ohias.

What has been the actual fact? It is one which seems almost incredible. We are informed by the authorities concerned, that after deducting from the still unpaid subscriptions all those that are seriously doubtful, about ninety-nine per cent of the whole will have been realized. The shrinkage will be only one per cent. We believe that no church building in the United States can show so noble a record This estimate concerns only the earlier subscriptions. The amount to be realized upon the debt subscription is in the future. We are confident that the shrinkage in that will rather be lessened than increased. Rich and Poor Seated Alike. To a leading member of Central Union Church the remark was lately made by a prominent gentleman, who belongs to the Palace party, and is anything but a "missionary," "I like your church for one thing; that is that the poorest person has just the same chance to hold a good pew as a rich one." We are told by the treasurer that there are persons unable to pay over one dollar a month who are occupying pews which would have brought $250 a year if sold in the usual manner. There are also persons who will undoubtedly pay $*20 a month, who are holding pews worth not $40 a year. This is just as we would have it. And we believe that our six months trial of the system is going to prove a great success. Many people are now attracted to the church who never paid anything before, but now will become helpers. Every one pays what they feel able to. None of our able members are going to give any less because they have second or third rate seats. It is too soon to speak confidently of the result. About $550 a month is necessary for church expenses. Twice that amount came in during the first month, but much of it was for months in advance, while manypew holders have as yet paid nothing, but will do so when called on by the treasurer. Church Benevolences. About $400 a month is hoped to be raised for those objects by the regular collections in the boxes at morning and evening worship. In the old Fort Street church the receipts had somewhat declined since hard times began. With the increased congregations in the new church they have materially advanced. These monies go to support not church expenses, but the extended mission, Sunday School, and Relief work carried on directly by this church. It is thus apparent that over $11,000 are thus raised annually for regular THE FRIEND. church expenses and benevolences. But in addition to these there is a very large system of benevolent contributions by the members ofthe Central Union Church to Mission, Educational and other work, and through other organization*) amount ing at a very moderate estimate to not less than $-24,000 annually, or added to the above $1 1,000, not less than 55,000 in all, or $70.00 per member the church. This is exclusive of large special acts oi munificence by wealthy members. Is there another church in the world that exceeds this average? If there is, it must be some wealthy church in a great metropolis. [March, 1893. Death of Miss Stevens. Our community experienced a most painful shock on the night of January 31st, by the arrival of the steamer Kman from Hawaii with the body of the beloved Miss Grace Stevens, the eldest daughter of the American Minister. Her death occurred at Kukaiau Landing on the precipitous coast of Hamakua, Hawaii. She had been safely lowered into the boat of the Kinait, which had also pushed out towards the ship, but owing to a misunderstanding turned back. A heavy roller capsized the boat, which was shattered upon the rocks. The native mate, a powerful man, seized Miss Stevens, hut a second roller tore her from his grasp and Hung her against the rocks. A second boat came in and rescued the live natives, who were good swimmers, and recovered the body of the unfortunate lady. This sudden bereavement has been a terrible blow to the honored parents and the sister of the departed. Miss Stevens had during January visited the Volcano with her father, and had turned aside to visit fi lends in the beautiful district of Hamakua. Hearing of the revolution in Honolulu, and of her father's need of her wonted aid as his private secretary, she hastened to his help, heroically encountering the somewhat perilous, yet rarely disastrous transit from the precipice to the ship, in order to expedite her coming. On the night when the terrible blow fell upon his household, the Minister was deeply engrossed in preparing for the morning's mail his final despatches to his government respectingthe revolution, and the raising of the American flag to take place the next morning By heroic effort of will, grief was postponed for duty, and the dispatches were completed. Thus are tragic private sorrows, and momentous public events closely intermingled. The great sorrow and sympathy of the people of Honolulu was shown by the crowded attendance at the funeral services held at the house on February •2nd. A violent storm of rain held off until the mounters had returned from the hasty service at the Cemetery. Thus have startling events continued to tread upon each others steps. Central Union Church as a Witness. Just at this time, the enemies ol the late revolution and of annexation are sending statements abroad to the effect that the revolution was made by the "missionary part}'' for selfish ends with total lac. of principle, and without scruple as to the means. Central Union Church is generally and very correctly regarded as the great "missionary church among the whites of Honolulu. Nearly all persons in the city allied to the old mission families by birth or marriage are members of the congregation. Probably nine tenths of the congregation actively favored the revolution, as did the great majority of the other white people of Honolulu, who are not in any special sympathy with this church. The movement was one supported by the bulk of the white population, but especial!)' so by the missionary " church people. Believing the abrogation of the monarchy to have been indispensable to the continued progress of Christian civilization in these Islands, we feel justified in so far "mingling religion and politics," as to employ in testimony the showing as to character which is made tor our noble Central Union Church by the facts above set forth. Do these things look as though the missionary" people helonged to the selfish and unscrupulous class? Do they not prove that Honolulu contains a body of Christian people of exceptionally high character for benevolence, for munificence, for active cooperation in good works ? Here is their splendid church edifice, hardly surpassed in beauty by an)' on the Pacific coast. It is paid for, in a time of depression, by heroic and loyal effort. It stands in beauty, a monument to the lofty and generous character of the Christianity which takes the lead in all that is good in this superb Anglo American Colony of Hawaii nei. Before this impressive visible testimony let the voice of calumny be dumb. We know our Honolulu Christians too well to doubt that they will, by God's grace, continue to make this testimony good, and to strengthen it more and If more care were given to character, more by their manifold good works in the coming days of strenuous labor for less trouble need be taken about reputation. the right.

On the afternoon of Feb. 13th, a trim looking boat entered the harbor and landed at Mrewer'S wharf. It contained the survivors of the well known Hawaii an bark Lndv LamptOH, including C'apt J. Petersen and wife, the second mate, cook, cabin boy and two seamen. The bark, with coal for Honolulu from Sydney, was wrecked on the Kith of January, upon a reef 40 miles from Palmyra I. After several days in open boats vainly trying to reach that island, the wreck was regained, and the boats and people recruited. The)- then sailed for Honolulu. Provisions and water were abundant, but they suffered much from cold, wet, and cramped positions. Two days out, the mate's boat with five men became separated. They were 17 days in the boat. Mrs. Petersen was much reduced, but with ten days at the Ragle House, regained hei strength. The steamer C. R. Bishop was despatched by the Government on the evening of the 15th to cruise in search of the missing boat, going as far as Palmyra 1., 900 miles distant. The Bishop called at l.ahaina and Kailua, then at Waimea, Kauai, on the 18th, leaving that day for the southward. lectured upon her visit to Madagascar, for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A.

The Seminary closes in May, I think on the 13th. I want to home in June, before the Kamehanieha School closes. It is too bad you did not f;et Mr. Gulick. We must do the best we can without him. I feel as if I could do something towards clearing away the old superstitious beliefs of the people. Of course I have not seen much of such things, and their removal may not be as easy as I think. William Higgins, the evangelist, who is conducting the mission of the Hawaiian Hoard at Emma Hall, reports a good work being done there through a society of young men which he has been instrumental in forming. They have meetings during the week, as well as on the Sabbath day. These meetings are essentially for the study of the bible and for prayer, but they are conducted as a sort of debating society, each speaker basing his argument on some scripture. The association began with a membership of eight. Tbt: number is now forty-nine. Numbers of people who formerly were irreligious have been inter ested. Several have borne testimony to a change in their lives. The effect of this work on the Kan makapili meetings is very marked, We never attended in that church a more interesting prayer hieetiiif-; than that of last Wednesday evening. Some forty men were present, and at least a score of them took part. It is possible that Emma Hall may serve as tbe Y. M. C. A. or Y. Y. S. C. E. center that John Wise is wishing for. One feature of the work being done among these young men is the encourthem to save their agement being money. At the beginning of the year a bank book was furnished each one and they were helped to make a deposit. By the death of Mrs. Puahi, widow of Rev. S. Kaaua, tbe Hawaiian Board will come into the receipt of nearly three hundred dollars annually. It is the income from some valuable cane lands, bequeathed by the deceased Hawaiian pastor, in trust to Dr. Hyde, for the work of the Hoard among Hawaiian*. It is gratifying to find this spirit of grateful acknowledgement for aid received, prompting some of the Hawaii. ans, of their own accord, in their own way to make such disposition of their property after their death. �25 THE FRIEND, Gen.

A Visit to Kahuku. To relieve a chronic headache, we some time ago treated ourselves to an outing of four days, by visiting Kahuku Plantation, situated upon the north point of Oahu, and about 40 miles journey from this city, whether one goes by the east or west side of the island. We chose the western route, going by rail 12 miles to Pearl City. There we found waiting the four hurse stage of the veteran White. There were three other passengers. We traversed the elevated plain to Waialua, 18 miles in three and a half hours, crossing the three gulches of Kipapa, Waikakalaua and Kaukonahua, mostly on easy grades, and seldom off a fair trot. Since five years ago, the entire road has been fenced in by the cattle owners. No planting was seen, and rarely a house. Yet there are at least 30,000 acres of beautiful level upland, mostly of from 800 to 1000 feet altitude, with a delightful climate. The soil, however, is generally not of the best, and there is too little moisture for cane. It is beyond question that grain and hay crops will do well there in the winter and spring, with proper management. Citrus and other fruits and grapes flourish, This 1 will be a prosperous farming region in j the future. The air is delightfully bracing. After an hour's rest and lunch at Waialua, we made the 14 miles along the shore to Kahuku in about three hours. The road is mainly as nature and travel have left it. A good bridge at Waimea enables you to avoid the formidable sands. The cane at Kahuku began four miles west of the mill, forming a belt of from 20 to 40 rods wide along the coast, and ; a little up the' lower slopes below the bluffs. It was all irrigated. A large pumping station lifts the water some t>o feet from great natural springs in the marsh near sea level. A 200 acre field | was being cut. Four trains a day were being hauled to the mill, each of twenty cars with five tons of cane stalks, or '40* tons of cane a day, from which the mill working night and day produced forty tons of sugar. Eighty Japanese gathered and loaded the cane, which was cut by another gang. Everything moved quietly as by clock work. Other gangs were dressing newly cut fields, or stripping next year cane. The noble mill was working with great precision. Lit by electric lamps at night, it presented a brilliant spectacle.
