A WONDERFUL WEEK. that of January, from the 1 Ith period of strange, startling, impressive experiences. No like period, so important, so exciting, so charged with momentous events, has existed since foreigners resided in Honolulu. It was a history making epoch, witnessing the unheralded and shameful collapse of the once noble and proud Hawaiian monarchy, and initiating, as we believe, a glorious new era of freedom and honor for Hawaii. Startling events leaped forth in rapid and unforeseen succession, each eclipsing the one before it. They came in a wonderfully dramatic way. First, in the midst of political calm and hopefulness, there struck us like a cyclone the shame and consternation of the passage of the Lot cry Bill. There followed the shock of the overthrow of our trusted and hon ored Cabinet, quickly replaced by one formed from the opium and lottery gang at the palace. Next, the Lottery Hill became law in defiance of bitterest pro tests, just as the protecting lios'.on steamed in with the much wanted American Minister. The stately ceremony of prorogation followed, deserted by resentful citizens, It was to the 19th; a day of ardent, hopeful prayers, and of prudent, yet daring, counsels. Monday came, with the Queen's terrified and abject retraction, followed by the mighty but orderly mass meeting of 1300 resolute citizens, who briefly and sternly spoke their endorsement of the Committee of Safety. Then all unexpected, near nightfall, came the sudden rush of the Boston's launches with her 150 men, and their rapid march to their stations, quelling our households' disquiet and fear of night disorders, and suggesting America's friendly care. Next opened the fateful Tuesdayanxious day of unknown perils and prob able battle—when Royalty ceased to be; when rifle companies sprang as from the ground; when our Provisional Government of trusted leaders, moved suddenly to the (iovernment House unat tended and in great peril, and there established themselves, and seized the reins; when expected bloodshed came not, and our patriotic sons and brothers remained unhurt; and when the Palace and the Station House were tamely surrendered. On Wednesday came the surrender of the heavily garrisoned Barracks: the recognition of the new Government by all the Foreign Ministers and Consuls; the announcement of the next morning's departure of the Claudine 9 NUMHER 2. and everybody's hurried preparation of mails. The last dramatic scene was the sailing of the Claudine on Thursday, with the gallant five followed by prayers and tears and ardent hopes, and beyond doubt, by the bitter curses of kahunas and lottery pirates. That was the longest week we ever knew. There was a strange illusion as to lapse of time. One great excitement superseded another daily, each crowding and burdening the mind like a week of lesser events. The event of two days ago seemed to belong to a distant past. Our trusted P. C. Jones had a vacation of just four days from the Finance Office; it was hard to convince oneself it was not a month. Many persons experienced this peculiar illusion. It has been a grand thing to pass through all this exciting and exalting experience. It is a peculiar honor to aid in recording these glorious eventsOur noble citizens of American and European blood have once more paid homage and devotion to the lofty cause of Liberty and Progress. And our gra. cious God has once more, with a peculiar care and protection, blessed and smiled upon this young and favored nation of Hawaii, Native Sentiment. It is doubtless premature to forecast confidently what shape the opinions of native Hawaiians will take, as to the political change now in progress. No doubt the majority of them are now governed by their long existing jealousy of white ascendancy, and are dissatisfied and sullen. We have, however, personal knowledge of some of the best and wisest among them who rejoice in the removal of the terrible incubus of Palace influence, with its debauching and heathenizing effect. These men also enthusiastically welcome the prospect of union with America. We are reliably informed that this feeling is growing and extending among the native people. After the final arrangements have been concluded, and the new form of government has been definitely settled, we anticipate satisfaction among the natives, and their cordial cooperation with the with Commissioners to Washington; whites in public affairs, �10 Events Before the Revolution. The first public indication of dangerous intentions was the (Queen's strange deity in signing the Appropriation Bill, which had passed the House December 90th Over $200,000 were awaiting immediate disbursement from the treasury, for which the community were impatient. It was signed on the 4th, immediately followed in the P.M. by an attempt to vote out the able and excellent Cabinet. This failed, and public confidence revived, although it soon appeared that the (jueen herself had made the effort. Rumors on the 9th of an attempt to revive the Lottery bill were received with general derision, which gave place on the 10th to dismay, when the bill was brought in and rushed suddenly through its second reading, nearly one third of the members being absent. The feeling rose to consternation on the I Ith, when the bill finally passed, 2;> to 20. Only one white man voted for it, the Queen's special agent. Heavy bribes were used. The city was filled with shame at our harboring an infamous piratical combination which Louisiana had vomited out with painful throes; with dread at the enactment of a thing so hostile and insulting to our great and friendly neighbor; and with horror at the prospect of being bound for twenty five years under the yoke of a foul and tyrannous corporation which would control our politics. At the first introduction of the bill in Atlgoet, confidence had been felt that if neceteary, effectual protest would be made by the American Minister to a law so hostile to the United States. Minister Stevens, however, seeing the session apparently at an end, and the attempt to displace a satisfactory Cabinet defeated, had relaxed his vigilance and gone with the Cruiser Boston for a ten days visit to Hilo. The Cjueen had promptly seized the opportunity of his absence to consummate the infamy. Her scheme was to profit by the influence of the Lottery to resist annexation tendencies, while enjoying the lottery subsidy of $500,000 a year. A foregone conclusion after this was the ousting of the Ministry, by the same set of members, now thoroughly in line on the side of evil. This was done on Thursday the L2th, two more white men joining the natives, to make the necessary majority of -5. The Cjueen had her new Cabinet ready, and sent them into the House the next day. Meantime the Chamber of Commerce met and sent the Cjueen a unanimous and almost violently energetic protest against her signing the Lottery Bill. They had little hope, as her true intentions, hitherto dissembled, were now becoming manifest. A pall of unbroken gloom occupied the political sky. The next morning, Saturday the 14th, just as the Boston was steaming into port with the American Minister, the Cjueen signed the Lottery THE FRIEND. [February, 1893. allow him to be removed. Although the Marshal now states that he is opposed to the Queen's proposition, he also states that if the final issue arises between the Queen and the Cabinet and people he will support the Queen. The Cabinet was absolutely powerless and appealed to citizens for support. Later they reluctantly returned to the Palace, by request of the Queen, and for nearly two hours she again endeavored to force them to acquiesce in her desire, and upon their final refusal anReport of the Committee or Safety nounced in a public speech in the throne room and again from the upper gallery To the Citizens of Honolulu : of the Palace that she desired to issue On the morning of last Saturday, the the Constitution but was prevented from Nth instant, the city was startled by doing so by Her Ministers and would the information that Her Majesty Queen issue it in a few days.

FRIEND. At 2:.i0 I.M. of January 17th, the Committee of Safety, with the gentlemen selected for the new administration of affairs, entered and took possession of Aliiolani Hale without resistance, and from its front entrance H. K. Cooper Esq., Chairman of the Committee id Public Safety, lead lb J following proclamation : Proclamation. In its earlier history Hawaii possessed Constitutional Government honestly and economically administered in the public interest. 'Pile Crown called to its assistance as advisois able, honest and conservative men whose integrity was unquestioned even by their political opponents. The stability of the Government was assured ; aimed resistance and revolution uothought of; popular rights were respected, and the privileges of the subject from time to time increased and the prerogatives of the Sovereign diminished by the voluntary acts of the successive Kings. With very few exceptions this state of affairs continued until the expiration of the first lew years of the reign of His late Majesty Kalakaua. At this time a change was discei liable in the spirit animating the chief executive ami in the influences surrounding the Throne. A steadily increasing disposition was manifested on the part of the King to extend the royal prerogatives; to favor adventurers and ptisons of no character or standing in the community; to encroach upon the rights and privileges of the people by Steadily increasing corruption of electors, and by meanß of the power and influence of office holders and other corrupt means to illegitimately influence the elections, resulting in the final absolute control of not only the executive ,u\i\ legislative, but, to a certain extent, the judicial departments of the government in the interest of absolutism. This finally resulted in the revulsion of feeling and popular uprising of lv>7, which wrested from the King a large portion of his ill gotten powers. The leaders of this movement were not seeking personal aggrandizement, political (lower or the suppression ol the native The large and enthusiastic meeting, government.

The Committee Legislatures, specifically Covering the then proceeded to the execution of plans ground that, in all matters concerning for the security of life, liberty, peace and the State, the Sovereign was to act by prosperity in Hawaii. Volunteers from and with the advice of the Cabinet, and all classes of citizens quickly formed into only by and with such advice. The companies for such service as might be King willingly agreed to such proposirequired. At 5 P.M. an aimed force- tion, expressed regret for the past, and landed from the U. S. S. Boston as a volunteered promises for the future. Almost from the date of such agreeprecautionary guard. a 11 ment and promises, up to the time of his death, the history of the Government has been a continual struggle between the King on the one hand and the Cabinet and the Legislature on the other, the former constantly endeavoring by every available form of influence and evasion to ignore his promises and agreements and regain his lost powers. This conflict upon several occasions came to a crisis, followed each time by submission on the part of His Majesty by renewed expressions of regret and promises to abide by the constitutional and legal restrictions in the future. In each instance such promise was kept until a further opportunity presented itself, when the conflict was renewed in defiance and regardless of all previous pledges. Upon the accession of Her Majesty Liluiokalani, for a brief period the hope prevailed that a new policy would be adopted This hope was soon blasted by her immediately entering into conflict with the existing Cabinet who held office with the approval of a large majority of the Legislature, resulting in the triumph of the Queen and the removal of the Cabinet. The appointment of a new Cabinet subservient to her wishes and their continuance in office until a recent date gave no opportunity for further indication of the policy which would be pursued by Her Majesty until the opening of the Legislature in May of 1892. The recent history of that session has shown a stubborn determination on the part of Her Majesty to follow the tactics of her late brother, and in all possible ways to secure an extension of the royal prerogatives and an abridgment of popular rights. During the latter part of the session the Legislature was replete with corruption; bribery and other illegitimate influences were openly utilized to secure the desired end, resulting in the final compltte overthrow of all opposition and the inauguration of a Cabinet arbitrarily selected by Her Majesty in complete defiance of constitutional principles and popular representation. Notwithstanding such result the defeated party peacefully submitted to the situation. Not content with her victory, Her Majesty proceeded on the last day of the session to arbitrarily arrogate to herself the righ* to promulgate a new Constitution, which proposed among other things to disfranchise over onefourth of the voters and the owners of nine tenths of the private property of the Kingdom, to abolish the elected upper House of the Legislature and to substitute in place thereof an appointive one to be appointed by the Sovereign. The detailed history of this attempt and the succeeding events in connection therewith is given in the report of the Committee of Public Safety to the citizens of Honolulu and the Resolution adopted at the mass meeting held on the �12 [Februay, 1893. THE FRIEND. 16th inst., the correctness of which report and the propriety of which resolution is hereby specifically affirmed. The constitutional evolution indicated has slowly and steadily, though reluctantly and regretfully convinced an overwhelming majority of the conservative and responsible members of the community that independent, constitutional, representative and responsible government, able to protect itself from revolutionary uprisings and royal aggression is no longer possible in Hawaii under the existing system of government. Five uprisings or conspiracies against the Government have occurred within five years and seven months. It is firmly believed that the culminating revo lutionary attempt of last Saturday will, unless radical measures are taken, wreck our already damaged credit abroad and precipitate to final ruin our already overstrained financial condition; and the guarantees of protection to life, liberty and property will steadily decrease and the political situation rapidly grow worse. In this belief, and also in the firm belief that the action hereby taken is and will be for the best personal, political and property interests of every citizen of the land We, citizens and residents of the Hawaiian Islands, organized and acting for the public safety and the common good, hereby proclaim as follows 1. The Hawaiian Monarchical system of Government is hereby abrogated. 2. A Provisional Government for the control and management of public affairs and the protection of the public peace is hereby established, to exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been negotiated and agreed upon. 3.

We older residents and those of us born here long held it in high honor and loyal reverence. It was the indispensable center of loyal allegiance to authority for a. weak and ignorant population, incapable of uncontrolled self government. Wise, capable, and upright foreigners long led in the King's councils. At home and abroad, the Royal government commanded the highest respect and confidence. The fatal change began with Kaniehameha V., who favored idolatry and relaxation of morals, but whose native sagacity followed judicious political counsels. With Kalakaua, total pollution and misrule came to pervade Court and Government, until partially arrested by the mild revolution of 1887. The end of the once noble monarchy has been, alas, in darkness and shame. But Hawaii thanks God for the large, vigorous, healthy, social and political life that ensures stability and security in unimpeded progress. The defunct institution had long ceased to be aught but a painful en- The only active attempt made to resist the progress of the Revolution, was by some policemen who sought to stop a wagon load of ammunition on its way to supply the citizens who were arming on Tuesday afternoon to support the Provisional (iovernment One policeman was promptly shot and wounded by the escort ofthe wagon. This decided action seemed to terrify the Queen's supporters, and the rest of the proceedings were unresisted, save some demur and delay in the surrender of the Station House and Barracks, at both of which were well armed forces of native policemen and soldiers. Large numbers of able bodied natives thronged the streets, hut no effort seemed made to organize them for action. The absence of fighting and bloodshed is matter of the greatest satisfaction. The natives have shown no disposition to resist the new government, although regarding it more or less with disfavor as a government by whites alone. With a very brief interruption, they have all peaceably resumed their usual avocations. The news of the Revolution appears to have been received by the cumbrance. Monarchy a �14 THE FRIEND.

A great interest has of late arisen among the Jews in a Hebrew edition of the New Testament, This is a trans lation recently made by a German divine, and is published in an attractive form. It is very much liked by Israelites, on account of its excellent Hebrew Style, and the honor paid to their national language.

Rev on |an I Sin is usually seconded with sin; a man seldom commits one sin to please, but he commits another to defend himself. Be thyself the living expression of truth in all thy words and actions; live out the noble principles you believe in. Satan does with sinners as the Philistines did with Samson; he first puts out their eyes, then makes them grind in his mill. God touches the eyes, and the scales fall from them. We may say in liberty of speech that this or that man is like Christ, but that would be anarchy of speech which would say that He is like this man or that. His virtue, his majesty, his sweetness, his strength, are unspeakably above any other man's, �17 THK FRIEND, HAWAIIAN BOABJO. H. I HONOLULU, This DAJM i- d«VOWd t" the interests of the Hawaiian Board "f Missinis. nd the Editor, appointed by thf for it- con.ents. Board! itl Rev, O, P. EmersOr\ - The Secretary was lately at Editor* the leper settlement at Kalaupapa, Molokai, and had audience with the church and congregation of that place. Upon his nominating the Rev. S. K. Kamakahiki of Olowalu, Maui, to the pastorate, he was warmly seconded by the deacons, and as a result Mr. Kamakahiki has been asked to transfer his pastorate from Olowalu to Kalaupapa. The accompanying circular letter is too brief to contain many facts that bear upon the work of the Hawaiian Board. The feeling of the hour does not permit us to argue for a cause which the experience of the past few days has proven to be so absolute a necessity to our wellbeing as a people. But certain statements not included in so short a letter may properly be subjoined here. It will be noticed in the letter that the item for the Chinese mission is large. $5800 is a good deal of money for us to spend in any one mission. It is the largest item named. It has been enlarged this year by the refusal of the American Board to grant more than $500 to'this work. The grant has formerly been $1000. It must also be said that the Chinese mission is developing into a large one. There is not a more hopeful work to be found in the land, nor one that has more vital connection with the future of these islands than that which is under the superintendency of Mr. Damon. It is one that has taken a strong hold of the Chinese people. Perhaps the public is not generally aware that the audience that attends the Chinese church is one of the larger ones of the city. Its growth has necessitated the addition which has been made to the building, and in this addition stands the former Central Union Church organ, which will thus continue to have a hear ing. It should also be remembered that Mr. Damon has added a very much needed boarding department to his school work. This department has, by the way, so far cost the Hawaiian Board nothing. The Chinese mission now has an important branch in this city which directs its energies towards the evangelization of Chinese women. The branch missions jn Wailuku and Kohala are also important adjuncts to the general work, and those who conduct them are missionaries to other peoples than the Chinese. What is said of the Chinese mission must also be said of the Japanese. There has been a very hopeful growth. There are Japanese missionaries now on every one of the larger islands, and in the centers of Honolulu and Hilo. The work is in charge of unusually talented and strong men. The Japanese at Hilo under the lead of Rev. Jiro Okabe have built themselves a commodious and neat church building. In Honolulu they are rallying about the Rev. J. K. Oku, and though now domiciled in Kmma Hall, and without a church building of their own, they hope to have one before long. Finally, we must not omit to speak of the most hopeful work being done among the Portuguese. II the missions to the Chinese and Japanese are important, that to the Portuguese is not less so. Here is a people that must be evangelized and brought up to the level of bible thought and experience. Nothing short of this will satisfy this inquiring people. And they are asking for it as the growth of the churches under Pastors Soares and Baptiste will testify. The beautiful Portuguese church building at Hilo is an ornament to that town, and those who meet there are yet more of an ornament. And if we look at the Portuguese mission in this city we shall find it a center of activity and of hope. Here is a thriving church with a day and evening school conducted by choice teachers and watched over by the pastor and his talented wife. This body of Christian workers is at stiife with no other, for there is room enough in this land for all who seek the light to walk together in peace. TREASURER'S CIRCULAR. Rooms ok thk Hawaiian Board: Honolulu, January 20, p osperous people at peace with each other and under a good government, demands this. Our aim should be to become a Christian people living together in the fear of God and with the love of humanity in our hearts. Now, a-idc from the work which is being done by the Roman Catholic and Anglican bodies, the Hawaiian Board is the only organization in the held which in connection with our churches and local societies, presumes to be carrying on such a work, the home (American) Board having practically withdrawn from the field, and left it to us to till. This Board accordingly, through its Secretary and Treasurer, invites you to a candid consideration of its claims for your generous support. We are able to report favorably of all our missions including those of the foreign field. From the Gilbert Islands, where we have eight Hawaiian missionaries, there has come the news of large ingatherings into the churches and a general and growing desire forknowledge. From the Marquesas, where we have three sturdy Hawaiian missionaries, there comes an earnest plea for aid to be given to their two boarding schools. Our home missions are alive in every branch. Among the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese there is steady growth, both in school and church, and it is even reaching beyond our ability to properly cultivate with our present funds. We accordingly ask for liberal aid; and, for fuller information, append the following schedule of our estimated expenditures and receipts promised for 1893. rVork among the native Hawaiians, including expenses of Schools, Publications, Grants in-Aid of Aged Pastors and Running Expenses $ Chinese Missions, Salary of 2 Preachers, I Evangelist, 10 Teachers, and Part Support of Superintendent and Assistant Japanese Mission, Salary of 2 Preachers, and 4 Evangelists 'ortuguese Mission, Salary of'2Preachers and 2 Teachers iiltx-rt Islands Mission, Salary of 8 Missionaries and la Catechists Marquesas Mission, Salary of 3 Missionaries and a Grant-in-Aid of 1 Boarding School <ent and Running Expenses of Emma Hall Mission and Salary of Evan- .... - - - gelist Total Estimates for 18113 - -* 4„TO0 00 5,800 00 3,000 00 2,000 00 2,<i00 00 800 00 1,100 00 20,400 00 ... 1 400 i h) ivailable Funds and on 400 00 Legacies tentals Interest lontributions Kxpected from Native Churches 2,400 00 lontributions Expected from Other Churches 1,800 00 lontributions F.xpected from Cooper-',200 (10 ating Bodies 1,800 00 rther Promised Contributions .... IMS. Dkak Sir: The providences of these days are making it plain that the work of evangelizing the races that dwell together on these islands must be pressed with redoubled vigor. The aboriginal people whom the fathers helped to rise to a better life, must be made yet more Christian. This lov able Hawaiian people need but to be aided to achieve this result with the instrumentalities now in their own hands. Imperfect and faulty as is much of their church work, there is that which is most commendably done. The native pastorate, as has been lately shown in signal instances, is on the side of morality and good government. We wish to be helped to establish them yet more fully on that side. They and their people are in poverty. They look to us for sympathy and support. It is our gracious privilege to grant them these. The aid we are called to give the Hawaiian must also be granted the Chinaman, the Japanese and the Portuguese who have come to be dwellers in the land. Our very existence as a Total - - - - Required Balance * 9.390 00 Il,0i>0 00 Thus it is seen that we need in round numbers over 11,000 to meet the actual necessities of the present work. Where there is not a preference for a special mission, we would be pleased to have all contributions given to the account of the General Fund. Donations so received can be applied to any branch of the work. We ask the grace of an early remembrance on the part of our patrons. In behalf of the Hawaiian Board. Wm. W. Hall, Treasurer. O. P.

One is greatly impressed with the Providential leading shown in the establishment of this paper as a leading organ of Christian progress in the PacificThe devout, warmhearted, pushing,practical young Chaplain Damon sees the need of, and the way to, publishing a paper in advocacy of temperance. One thing leads to another, and he promptly appends a department for moral and spiritual help to seamen. The success of his little monthly, and his growing aptitude for the work begin to make it a powerful organ of influence; material flows in upon him, and in two years his paper has grown into a journal richly furnished in many departments. It becomes a leading part of his life work, and remains the most prominent memorial of the beloved and revered Father Damon who not very long ago "fell asleep" among us. Fifty Years Ago. When the vigorous young Chaplain Damon, then newly come, courageously made his modest but hopeful commence- ment of a temperance and religious paper in Honolulu, society here was but beginning to put on aspects of civilization, although there was a small foreign colony, maintained by trade, partly that of supplying whaleships. Let us briefly recall the conditions of that clay one-half century past, when what proved to be so important a factor as The Friend, was added to the formative social forces of Hawaii. A few aged persons still linger among us, who were active participants in those somewhat troublous times. Quite a number of elderly individuals well remember them, who were then children in Punahou, or in the Charity School. Hon. G. D. Gilman of Boston, then in early manhood, has contributed to Thrum's Annual for 1893, some vivid personal reminiscences of those days. He was named in the Friend for May, 1843, as an agent to receive subscriptions. The Island population was then much larger than now,nearly all natives, most. �2 THE FRIEND.

China men were something of a curiosity. The most conspicuous persons were still the stately and ponderous royal chiefs, be fore whom the masses abjectly grovelled, and who impressed even the whites with some awe. Externally, that Honolulu resembled the lovely city of the present, only in the unchanging hills behind it. A town ot grass and adobe cottac.cs, with a few stone structures, dry and treeless, save for a few COCOBUt and hatl trees, it hail no extension, either towards the V.dlev or on the Plain. About the only buildings still existing, were the present McKibbin residence, three old mission houses, with the Stone Church, and the school house behind it. It was a squalid. dusty, and dreary town. There was a comfortable house M worship for the foreigners, the well remembered old Bethel, where Mr. Damon generally had a well-rilled house, at least when whalers were in port. In public affairs, the beginning of a written Constitution had been made in October. 1840, and Dr. Judd had been Prime Minister for six months. The troubles with the brutal Consul Charlton had culminated, ami the Paulet seizure of the government was close at hand. Volume I. of The Friend records the seizure and the restoration. Communication with Europe and the United States was still almost entirely via Cape Horn. Occasional news had begun to arrive by way of the Mazatlan and Vera Cruz route through Mexico. There was no premonition of the grand tide of travel which six years later began its rush across the Isthmus of Panama, and brought with it regular mails for Honolulu only two months on the way. California was then an almost unknown factor in Pacific affairs. There was a little trade with Monterey, whence came cargoes of horses. We never heard of Yerba Buena, or of the Golden Gate. Oregon was far better known by means of the Hudson Hay Co.'s trade in sal mon, lumber, etc., and by early mission aries in transit. We used to hear much of Tahiti and Borabora, where Christianity had long been triumphant. Elsewhere in the South Pacific, savagery still prevailed for the most part, although the noble career of John Williams was in pro- unmitigated horrors. Micronesia was a name unheard of, although we knew of ships cut off by savages at tbe Kingsmill and Marshall Is. New Zealand w.is heard of solely as a land of hideously tattooed savages. Australia was known only by the great Convict depot o{ Sydney, whence debased and wretched estravs occasionally drifted to Hawaii, so that liaole Kikane or "Sydney foreigner," designated whites of the lowest grade. But a great light was even then arising in all those c'en ters now oi joyful Christian civilization. Witii Canton and Macao only in China had foreigners any trade, and for fifteen years longer the seals of Japan remained unbroken. We had a regular trade with Canton, dating back another half century. The third number of Till. FaiEMD, records that most important Treaty of August, is 12, with Great Britain, by which Hongkong was ceded, and the ports of Amov, Fu-chau, Shanghae and Canton were thrown open, and China became free to the commerce of the world. Thus did 'I'm-: Friend unfurl its pages at an era of upspringing and stirring life in this Pacific Ocean, then so reunite from the civilization and commerce and movement of the world. It had a noble mission, to voice the Christian sentiment of these islands, and thus to powerfully aid in creating and establishing that Christian civilization now so dominant in Hawaii, and so influential upon the Pacific world. This high mission of 'I'm. Friend still continues, and was never more important than in these closing years of the century, when the Pacific is all astir; when two mighty English protestant empires are growing into power upon its coasts, and a vast commerce is pushing into action, which shall rival that of the Atlantic. May our littlemonthly so long such a moral and spiritual force in this central station of the Pacific, be maintained in vigor, enlarged, increased in power and usefulness, and continue to bear witness for Christ and His Kingdom, long after we have all passed from earth, like the Fathers who have gone before us.

During the past month a bill to license the sale of opium in this Kingdom has been passing through successive stages in the Legislature, with a strong pros peet of becoming a law. As their principal reason the supporters of the bill urge that the present prohibitory law has resulted in such a strongly organ ized smuggling of the drug that 17,nu1l lbs. per year are certainly known to be imported; that by this smuggling the police and custom-house forces have become greatly demoralized, the Marshal himself being in public intimacy with the leading smugglers; that the smuggling receives sanction and active support from many of the officers of the law; and that the deadly vice of opium smoking is greatly increasing among Hawaiians as well as Chinese; wherefore the vice should be licensed in order to bring it under control and regulation, and the importation of opium be legal ized in order to prevent the demoralizing crime of smuggling. To remedy these evils, they propose that four opium premises shall be licensed in Honolulu at not less than $15,000 each per annum, and as many more as are called for in Country districts at not less than $10,00.1 each. These joints or dens are to be provided each witii twelve hunks. Only Chinese adults are to be permitted to smoke opium in these places. All other persons are forbidden to use the drug; and the use or posses sion of it elsewhere by Chinese or others is to be criminal. This maintains the stringent features of the present law, by which detection and conviction are facil- itated. Opium is to be imported for the licensees under a duty of $3,00 a pound, light enough to mike smuggling unprofitable, From the duties and the licenses it is estimated that the revenue will be benefitted by not less than $125,000a year, a most important benefit which is lost under the present inefficient attempt at prohibition. The opponents of the bill, on the other hand, maintain that tile present prohibitory law has been substantially efficient in confining the practice of the vice mainly to Chinese habitual smokers, and that the police statistics show that the vice is not increasing among Hawaiians, only 3;') of whom were convicted of the offense during the past two years, to 1015 Chinese; that the support of smuggling by the officers of the law is the result of loose and corrupt administration, and calls for changes m the officials and not in the law; that the new opium dens will be great schools for educating the people in the vice, anil centers for its dissemination, as well as a great moral and physical stench in the midst of the community. That these licensed shops will afford enormously increased facilities for the introduction of the drug, and for its THE FRIEND. illcit distribution among all classes throughout the country; that while such illcit sales will continue to be as now with danger to the distributing agents, there will be no danger to the importers and licensees, for whose interest it will be thus to increase the sales. Most of the seizures of opium now are made on vessels, or in transmission from vessels, or at some chief depot of opium on shore. The new law will protect all these from interference from the law, leaving only the secret and ramified distribution of the drug to be attacked at the greatest disadvantage. They also oppose the bill upon the higher moral grounds which is framers characterize as sentimental. They urge that it is as wrong to destroy Chinese by this poison, as it is to destroy Ha waiians, and that the proposed government sanction of the vice will farther debase the moral sense of the people, while its public exhibition will incite Hawaiians to participate, and so dig deeper the grave of this people. Mrs. M. C. Leavitt contributes from her personal observations of the destructive effects of opium in India and China, where every missionary is thoroughly hostile to tlie traffic. We do not question the sincerely good intentions of the committee who gave the bill its present form, nor of many of those who support it. They have cer tainly taken great pains to guard against the extension of the vice to Hawaiians. Hut we believe that the effect of the system would inevitably be largely to victimize Hawaiians,as well as Chinese. The Chinese contribute a very large and influentialelement in the population of Hawaii nei. The future social condition of Hawaii is to be deeply and radically affected by the intelligence and the moral condition of our Chinese fellowcitizens. Shall they be demoralized by opium, or shall they he uplifted and purified by Christianity ? It will be impossible for us deliberately to relegate our Chinese brethren to the dominion of this Opium devil, and not have our own children defiled and scorched by the fiend. To forget or deny that every Chinaman is a man and a brother, is to invite the penalty of God's established laws. We have the undoubted right to protect ourselves against an injurious or pernicious immigration; but we must not discriminate against Asiatics as the Devil's rightful prey, or we may find ourselves participants in their doom. We might as well expect to escape cholera or small-pox, if we left the Chinese quarter of the city to become infected./ The brotherhood of men inevitable asserts itself for evil, if it he not maintained for good.

This honored citizen of Honolulu has been taken from us after a long and severe illness. Mr. Austin had resided in the Islands fifteen years, having joined his brothers here in 1877. Born in Saratoga, he enlisted as a private in the 78th N. Y. regiment, at the opening of the war, gradually rising to its colonelcy. Col. Austin was Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1888 to 181)0, in the Thurston Cabinet. Although not practicing much in the courts, his legal advice was much valued. He leaves two children, Mrs. Oscar White and Miss M. Austin, by whom he was greatly beloved as a tender and faithful parent. The funeral was largely attended at the family residence at Waikiki. Horner's Banking Bill was finally defeated by a two thiids majority. This relieves much serious anxiety, as the native members showed a strong disposition to support the measure. We have the highest esteem for the author of the bill, as a zealous promoter of Reform. He believed that he was promoting a great and valuable financial reform, which would relieve the people of heavy burdens of interest, and would make money abundant. We deeply regret that he should have so earnestly adopted what we believe to be a pernicious financial delusion. We trust that Mr. Homer's valuable services may long be enjoyed by the Hawaiian public in more useful work than advocating fiat money. Bill passed, we regret on December 31st, by a majority, who believe that its provisions The Opium to say, will protect all but Chinese from the spread ofthe vice. Messrs. Kauhane, losepa, \V. ().

Two native Protestant churches united in a praise service at Kaumakapili, which was especially impressive. Rev. H. H. Parker made an eloquent and persuasive address. This volume of 150 pages is before us in improved form. There are four fine photogravures, including a new and good one of the Cjueen. 50 pages are occupied by very full statistical tables, well indexed for reference It being the jubilee year of the restoration of Hawaiian Independence by Admiral Thomas, 3.3 pages are devoted to that event and the provisional cession preceding it, seven pages of very lively reminiscences of the event being supplied by Senator G. D. Oilman of Boston. Forty-eight pages more are occupied by valuable articles, several of which are very enter taining reading to all persons interested in these islands. Of material value are those on Harbor Improvements, the Bishop Museum, the Historical Society, Water Works, and Possible Industries in Hawaii. The volume also contains much information of special value for Tourists. Tbe price is 75 cenls. The Chinese Church on Christmas presented a most interesting spectacle, made especially so. that it was their first occupancy of the large new addition to their building. This was not qilite completed, being still unpaint cd. It was filled, however, by the scholars of the Chinese mission schools, who exhibited in various songs and recitations in English and Chinese. Brilli antly adorned and illuminated, in front of the organ, stood an immense Christmas tree, a young lir. A crowded audience of both Christian and other Chinese men and women, mostly parents of the pupils, listened with deep interest. A least of ice cream and other goodies followed in the basement, where all the 350 scholars were fed. eve The Japanese Church under the lead of the new pastor, the Rev. Mr. O-ku, held their festival on Tuesday evening in the Lyceum. A tree similar to, but a little smaller than at the Chinese festival, was displayed. There were several songs and addresses in Japanese, which were much applauded. A sword dance followed, with a farcical performance succeeding. Then came a distribution oi an immense variety of knicknacks, curios, fans, umbrellas, etc. Two hundred numbered lamp-spills were handed round, and each number brought a present. The church and the people earned great credit in making their Christmas such a success. Perhaps twenty whites were present, many of them teachers in this Sabbath school. The Portuguese Sunday School were not behind the others in their display. Mr. Fmmeluth had donated to them also one of his beautiful fir trees. The little church was a bower of palms and ferns. A fine programme ofsongsand exercises was carried out in English and Portuguese, chiefly by the young folks. A native dramatic talent was very noticeable, and sonorous Portuguese seemed to lend itselfbetter to song and oratory than the strange Asiatic tongues. There was a generous distribution of candies, fruits and nuts to the children. The greatest credit is due to Pastor and Mrs. Snares, and to their assistants in the mission school, as well as to the friends who aided ill the festival. A New Brick Chimney, 125 feet high has just been completed at Kohala Co.'s Mill. It forms a fine landmark. WilHeliveuptoit?-Mr J.W. Kalua is probably the ablest and brightest Hawaiian living of pure blood. Everybody likes him. He has lately been ill at his home in Wailuku, and the other day was reported to be dead. The Legis lature, of which he had formerly been one of the most prominent members, adjourned for half a day out ol respect for his memory. Various bodies passed resolutions of eulogy and condolence. His character was highly extolled. Now, to the general joy, he proves likely to live and serve his country for man)' years. Mr. Kalua was a favorite pupil of ours at Lahainaluna. He was then, and is now, an earnest Christian. Unhappily, many years ago he fell under the then deadly influence of the Palace, and acquired a drink appetite, which caused several periods of lapse from the high and worthy living that upon the whole has characterized his career. It is profoundly to be hoped that the eulogies he has now received will contribute to strengthen his purpose to lay hold of God's grace, and continue to live a wholly worthy life, and do honor to his country and his people. We believe that Mr. Kalua will live up to what has so affectionately been said of him. MakwMem li ade a most successful trial Dec. 15th. Grinding is expected to begin January 15th. This is, we believe, the best appointed, if not the largest establishment in the Islands. By means of a splendid hydraulic system, it utilizes the noble Hanapepe river on Kauai, to irrigate one of the finest tracts of land on these Islands. Henry P. Baldwin is chief of the concern. Wh i. Duty on Sugar he restored? Our people are nourishing strong hopes that the Free Trade Democrats will restore at least a part of the duty which tbe Protectionist Republicans retnovjd. It is quite possible, however absurd it may sound. I r it happens, Hawaiian sugar receipts will gain about $2,800,000 per annum for every cent per pound of duty restored, which will bean immense relief to our financial straitness. Mr. Cleveland is reported as favoring it. Per contra, will be the impossibility of replacing the sugar duty without abrogating America's valuable Reciprocity treaties with Cuba, Brazil and other countries. It will also require of the Democratic statesmen immense audacity to restore dear sugar to the masses of the common people, on whom the Republicans conferred the blessing of cheap sugar. They will hardly dare face the storm of hatred and ridicule that would ensue. Nothing could more quickly teach the masses which party were their real friends. Let us not be sanguine as to a change.

Dedication of Central Union Church Edifice. Our last issue recorded the farewell exercises in the old and much loved house on Fort street, November 27th. On Sunday morning, the lib of December, the congregation assembled lor the first time in their new and beautiful house. The audience was crowded from floor to gallery. A large number stood, and many were turned away. A careful count made the whole number present 1037. Her Majesty the Cjueen was present, and many Hawaiians.

Dedicatory Hymn 111. Benediction. •A. Postlude. We give an abstract of the addresses. Rev. W. IL Oeeson said that the avowed purpose in building this housewas to make a spiritual honie for the people of Honolulu. Christ came to preach the gospel to the poor. Our churches must wear the same aspect o< hospitality that gathered the multitudes about the feet of Jesus. It is this spirit that opens this house wide to-day. No man will willingly stand outside Heaven because it is too beautiful within for his poverty of aspect. The beauty and comfort and peace of the house of (rod is yours, whether you have tasted of the hope immortal, or are only in the border land of religious belief. It welcomes even the disbelieving soul. The religion of Jesus is vitalizing power, bringing strength, comfort, help into all hearts. Every class of men needs the helpful gifts of the spirit of Jesus. Let this house be the home of the people in the spirit of Jesus' example, and Honolulu may well bless the day that its stones were laid and its doors opened wide. Rev. O. P. EmBRSON said that the Child life was what lent distinction to the Home. So was it also in the church home. The house needs the children. Let them flock in and there will be no chill in this great stone house. Their sweet presence will soften and warm our hearts. They are to he the congregation of the future, as the leading element of to-day's congregation were the children of thirty years ago. Still more do the children need the house, here to find spiritual life, here to be born anew, here to confess Christ, here to he brought for baptism. The doors of this house are open for the children with warmest welcome. Rev. Dr. C. M. llvde said that all the appurtenances of this building mark it as a house of worship. It is not a temple for stated performance of sacred rites. While embodying the churchly ideal, it is not mainly an ecclesiastical structure, but "the Lord's house,'' where his Church convene to praise and commune with the adorable One. The arrangements of this house also contemThe plate instruction and fellowship. name "Central Union" embodies the idea of convenience and fellowship. It is sometimes derisively called "the missionary church." And this building does stand as a memorial of those holy missionary fathers and mothers to whose work we succeed. In this building we have lovingly given for our Lord's use our richest and best. Yet they are worthless gifts if only substitutes for personal love and helpfulness. Whoever enters this house should feel at once that it is the spiritual home of a live church. It must be a house of prayer for al! sorts and conditions of men. All our hearts and hands must be engaged in the salvation and sanetification of sinful humanity. We can have in this work Apostolic success, more important than Apostolic succession, only as we received the promised powerfor service by the gift of the Holy Ohost. May that Pentecostal gift make our motto "Christ in us, tbe hope of glory, and we in Christ, for the uplift ing of the world into the light and love The Evening Services.

And with equal honor would he- accept that cheap little chapel built by Japanese converts at Hilo with such joyful sacrifices. We have fittingly made our gift outwardly more choice than they could do. As a bride brings to her husband some scarf of rich adorning with her sweetest love, so let us bring this beautiful edifice to our Lord with our dearest affection. His answering bless ing will come in inspiration, in power. He will keep this house from becoming a place of cold, stately worship. He will make it the home of melting Christian experiences, of mighty awakenings, ol varied and outre.idling planning lor the work of his Kingdom, and of munificent distribution of our resources. And he will make every lowly and sinful one feel through us a full welcome into this house of the pardoning, comforting, loving Shepherd of their souls. The transfer of the church to the Trustees was made by the Hon. Alex ander Young in behalf of tbe Building Committee,, in words expressive ol satis faction in, after long waiting, being snugly housed in the new church, and of profound gratitude lo God, in making us the possessors of such a noble edifice. "With this thought in mind I now. on behalf of the Building Committee, to whom was entrusted the erection anil completion of this new home of ours, deliver over tbe premises and keys to the Trustees of the Central Union Church of Honolulu." Hon J. (). Carter, for the trustees, responded in a few suitable words, accepting the keys, and delivering them to the Pastor. The church and congregation then rose and joined with the.Pastor in a most impressive dedicatory service, both responsive])' and unitedly. A dedicatory hymn was then sung. an excellent composition by Mr. Philip mittee. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., representing the Sunday School.

Benediction. Postludc. Hon. Alexander Young mentioned with especial praise Mr. Lishman, the chief builder and Mr. Mutch m charge of the woodwork. He added praise of the many workmen lor the workmanlike handicraft exhibited and the faithful work not exposed to view. Unlike Alexander the Great, the building committee would not sit down and cry because there is not another church lor them to build right off. The next thing is for the church to go into committee ol the whole, and work and pray for the upbuilding of the church and congregation. 'These stones now hewn and fitted into arches and jambs and ashlar and lintels and corbels, were lately lying in unshapely lumps and ledges; and there are many men and women in Honolulu true at heart, who can with proper labor he brought in to build up this church.

Let the house built grandly for God be as free to all as God's pure air m the sunlight of 11. heaven. Mr. F. J. Low key gave a history of the building. 'The choice of the lot was adopted Jan. 9, 1889. The architect Mi. Pot-dwell visited Honolulu in November following. On June 2, 1890, the bid for tbe foundation was accepted and the contract satisfactorily carried out by Mr. F. Harrison. July 29tb, it was voted to build of stone, and cutting thereof was commenced Nov. 3rd at Palania. Nov. Dodge.

Mutch in charge of the wood work, and Mr. Geo. 'Turner of the painting. The work has been most conscientiously executed, and the church has a building which in point of construction could hardly be excelled. 145 1 cubic yards i>{' stone,were used There are 225 in the superstructure electric lights in the building. $60,0<HJ have been expended for labor. One or more of the committee have been almost daily on the premises. Hon. P. C. JONES said if tbe church was indebted to the contributors for this building, tbe latter are indebted to the faithful Building Committee. Among the contributors are those of other denominations, without whose aid our work would have been greatly curtailed. The largest amount is from members of this congregation, whose only regret is that they have not been able to give more. The church was planned in a time ol great prosperity, whose failure leaves us in debt. 'This elegant structure will be a monument to brother Lishman. Mr. G. D. Oilman has given a pulpit bible. He was a member of the Bethel church fifty years ago. My uppermost thought is the very great responsibility that God has placed upon us. First, for tile debt. A large sum is already pledged for it. Second, to assuie a large amount for church expenses. 'Third, to till these seats with families and withyoung people who have no other church home. "CJuit you like men, and be strong.'' Prof. A. B. Lyons said, last week was for retrospect; now we are called to look forward. How make this new home a center of every inspiring and beneficent influence ? On us your Standing Com mittee rests a great responsibility in planning for this. But we are sure ol your earnest prayers, and that your zeal will outrun our own. Our fust task is to throw off this burden of debt, Let us say, we will do it. I hope and believe that by January Ist, we shall have in sight the means of paying every dollar. But the Lord's work calls for more than money. To-day's THE FRIEND. 1.1 dedication means personal consecration ofourselves to that work.

Miss MABEL Wing said that the Christian Endeavor thought, by a simple organization, sets the energies of the young people at work through the channels where the activities of the church are already directed. 'There are various 'The business standing committees. meetings follow parliamentary order. In tbe prayer meetings the young people gain confidence. 'They speak with earnestness and humility.

Many of them worked patiently to help pay for the finial of the spire, of which our Society assumed the cost. MRS. W. W. Haii. spoke for the Ladies* Society. It being largely woman's province to gather up tbe ends, we have supplied the cushions and carpets, contributing nearly $1,500. We have still to fit up the little parlor. Without wishing to bring this congregation under the malediction, "Wo to them that are at ease in Zion," we would make the worshippers comfortable. We extend heart) thanks to all who have helped us, especially to the restaurateurs, who have bestowed on us substantial gifts, while we were "poaching on their preserves." "Woman's finest power is always social. It is as religious to bring a lonely spirit to the touch of human sympathy, as to send a boy to the missionaries.'' We hope to make this church a larger social power. Let us look upein our beautiful church as a home, and try to make it a home for the homeless and lonely in our midst. Tim Hawaiian Churches Rev. H, 11. Parker. The Founder of Christianity, on the eve of his passion, expressed the desire that the representatives of Christianity throughout the world might be one. If ever there was a land where the transforming power of Christianity has made its mark it is in these fair islands of the sea. But we seem now to have arrived at that stage of our growth where we need to diligently cherish the spirit of unity which Christ so earnestly speaks of. The forces that surround us are full of discoid, and the tendency of our times, in these little islands at This least, is toward disintegration. condition of things is easily accounted for. We are coming nearer to the influences of the great sweeping tide of religious and social progression that has been one of tbe distinctive features of the nineteenth century. The old landmarks are passing away. New issues are com- Toward that horizon, whose distance in the past lent enchantment to the view, he is now rapidly advancing and it is portentous of changes. He knows not what the issues will be. And it is very natural that he should feel disturbed. Then we have a large heterogeneous foreign population with its distracting elements. It has come to us from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south With each nationality has come its own peculiar social and religious habits and customs. And so it has come to pass that in this beautiful land the progressive Christian civilization of modern times and the heathen civilization of the Orient with the cist off remnants of a defunct paganism have found a field of conflict. Not a day too soon did the pioneersof the work in these islands begin to build. 'They have laid the foundations well. It is for us who now stand in their places, and for those who may come after us in their time, to add our tribute of service to the one and the same cause. The world may lose sight of those early workers and their humble disciples, as it will lose sight of us, but the inspiration which they breathed into the life of this land and the institutions they planted here will never die. Be it ours in this day to perfect as well as we are able to do it the work of those wht> have gone befoie us. Let the life and the life's work forever witness to the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of the race. Trie faith of tbe Hawaiian Christian is very simple and very beautiful. He simply looks up to God as a little child looks up to the face of its father. He reciprocates love with fidelity. He loves those who hold to a common faith with himself. And if he is not betrayed or deceived he will continue constant to the end. He rejoices with you to-day. I respectfully tender to you the happy greetings of all Hawaiian Christians in this city. They rejoice with you in the completion of your new and beautiful house. I bespeak for them a reverent and respectful demeanor when they shall unite with you in the worship of God. Breaking of Sunday School Jugs. 'This took place in the new School Dec. 15th. Supt. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., knocked the heads off from 57 jugs, which had been swallowing the coins of their respective class owners for several months. Each class has a motto which was nicely lettered on a black board, and the contents of c ich jug recorded opposite. $491.72 was the total, $144.25 of which came from the infant school room. The choir jug yielded $52.35 for the benefit of the organ fund. The balance is for furnishing the school room.
