the beginning been of uniform dimensions.
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.

and there a shirt, and trotting as Chinese and of the Marquesas was still in its
ly
do now, with burdens on ■ pole. 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.
The church fronts upon Bcretania
Street; its lofty tower and spire 160 feet
high are upon tbe corner of Kichard
street
The facade is a line one; a
suitable porch with twenty granite steps
and polished syenite columns leads to
tbe vestibule ten feet wide, with Stairways
to tbe gallery in the tower on either hand.
Above the porch is a noblearched window.
'l'he auditorium is 68 x 70, with wings
of additional six feet on each side. The
ceiling ascends in an octagon to the ventilator, 24 feet in diameter, and 5S feet
above the floor. Opposite the three
entrances with their rich koa doors, are
tbe pulpit and spacious organ loft and
choir gallery. To the pulpit the floor
slopes down from three sides. 'l'he
seats of stained birch curve in theater
form, intersected by live aisles, and with
those in the gallery will seat 800 people,
or you by crowding. Tbe pews were
from Cleveland, 115 in number. The
ceiling is wainscotted in fir; the other
woodwork is redwood, with abundance of
paneling. Splendid arched windows fill
the upper portions of the east and west
sides. Below these are ranges of smaller
square windows supplying the copious
ventilation needful in this summer climate. All the windows in tbe edifice
are filled with richly stained glass, in
gorgeous combinations of colors.
Immediately in tbe rear of the main
building are two large annexes. The
first is about Ml x 30, anil contains a
large vestibule of its full length, tbe
organ loft, the ladies' room IS x 26, and
kitchen for church soci.il supplies, also
the Sunday school library. Upstairs are
also an infant school room 2li x 32 feet,
and the pastor's Is feet square.
The second and larger annex contains
the main Sunday school room which is
75 by 40 with lofty wainscotted ceiling.
A gallery 3(1x10 divides the east end of
this room into two stories. The portion
under the gallery can be separated from
the main portion by sliding doors, 'l'he
largest window in the structure displays
its noble arch in the gable of this room.
Entrance doors at each end of* the
long vestibule give entrance from Kichard
street and from the tear. Two doors
iilso lead from the vestibule into the
auditorium, giving immediate access
thither from the Sunday school
From every point of observation the
edifice shows architectural symmetry.
It has an aspect of great solidity, with
its massive stone work, anil noble arched
windows. It is by far the handsomest
architectural form in Honolulu. It is
commodious,conveniently arranged, substantial, and beautiful within and without. The acoustics have proved satisfactory, and the ventilation is excellent.

THE OPIUM BILL.
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

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.

Austin.
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.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES.
Thrum's Hawaiian Annual for 1893.
Christmas services were observed as
usual in the various churches of the city.
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.

pages more are occupied by valuable

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.

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

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.

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.

Our people are nourishing strong

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.

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

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

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

and ashlar and lintels and corbels, were

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

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

who have no other church home. "CJuit

Prof. A. B. Lyons said, last week was

center of every inspiring and beneficent
influence ? On us your Standing Com

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

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

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

The Chinese mission is highly favored
y the arrival of Mrs. J. Emery from the
itates. She comes to do work among
ie women, and has already been introuced to her field. We believe that
nere is not a more hopeful line of work
nan this which has been placed in her
ands, for it concerns the family life of
very important class of our population,
fa people who are building houses and
saring children, who rank among the
lightest of those attending our schools.
Word has come from the rooms of
the A. B. C. E. M., that the request of
the Hawaiian Board for the retention of
the Rev. O. H. Gulick among us as a
missionary worker, cannot be granted.
He cannot be spared from Japan It is
though that Mr. Gulick's leave
f absence be extended six months, and
lat he use the added time for work
mong us. The Hawaiian Board has
ccepted thislimited oft'erof Mr. Guiick's

whither he goes in February, he will

A kahuna named Pohano came to the
living

ur spirit together with two other
spirits (of dead persons) at the corner of

she, "you are a stranger to me."

among the natives, that the spirit does
sometimes leave the body and wander

premonition of death, and that death

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,

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

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

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

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

[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. Such Provisional Government shall
consist of an Executive Council of four
members, who are hereby declared to be:

in the order in which enumerated, according to existing Hawaiian Law as far
as may be consistent with this Proclamation ; and also of an Advisory Council
which shall consist of fourteen members who are hereby declared to be:

Hawaii has in twenty weeks seen five
different Cabinets, now succeeded by the
Executive Council of the Provisional
Government. All this injurious changing has been in consequence of the
imperious determination of the Queen to
have Ministers who would be subservient to her own ignorant and capricious
will, instead of such men as the country
had confidence in. The people have at
last concluded that the)' have no farther

It was the indispensable center of loyal
allegiance to authority for a. weak and

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

Kona Coffee at Chicago.— Plans
are in progress to establish a coffee
stand in the Columbian Exposition, to
give the American public a taste of our
delicious Kona coffee. The peculiar
fragrance of this coffee appears to be
due to its being grown upon

lava
formations. During a residence at Hana,
Maui, thirty years ago, wi- learned to
refuse coffee hemes grown upon ancient
soils, and to buy only those raised upon

precisely the clinker formations which
are needed for fragrant coffee.

commits another to defend himself.
Be thyself the living expression of

Satan does with sinners as the Philistines did with Samson; he first puts

the scales fall from them.

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.

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

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.

The manager of The FRIEND respectfully requests the friendly co-operation of subscribers and other: to whtrm this publication
is a regular monthly visitor, to aid in extending the list of pat tons of this, " the
oldest paper in the J'aeific." by procuring
and sending in at least one new name each.
-This is a small thing to do, yet in the aggregate it will strengthen our hands and enable us to do more in return than has been
promised for the moderate subscription rate
of $2 00 per annum.
Islanders residing or traveling abroad
often refer to the welcome feeling with
whith The Friend is receivid; hence
parlies having friends, relatives, or acquaintances abroad, can find nothing more
welcome to send than The FRIEND, as
a monthly remembrancer of their aloha,
and furnish them at the same time with
the only record of moral and religious
progress in the North Pacific Ocean.
In this one claim only this journal is entitled to the largest support possible by the
friends of Seamen, Missionary and Philanthropic work in the Pacific, for it occupies
a central position in a field that is attracting the attention of the world more and
more every year.
The Monthly Record of Events, and

additional value la home and foreign
readers for handy reference.
New subscriptions, change of address, or
no/ice of discontinuance of subscriptions or

of The FRIEND, who will give the same
prompt attention. A simple return of the

When prices of sugar collapsed, and
general bankruptcy threatened, and many
persons of large income were nearly or
quite stranded, it was thought that the
shrinkage on the subscriptions would inevitably exceed even the larger figure.
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

[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,

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

A Great Rainfall.—A remarkable
rainstorm commenced within an boor
and ■ half after the hoisting of the
American Hag. During nine days Ovei
thirteen inches fell in Honolulu. On
the 2nd, the fall was about five inches,
a thing of most unusual occurrence. A
nearly equally rainy February occurred
in INNS. A fall of six or seven inches
in a single month is not uncommon in

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.

tribes.
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. Three pairs of immense rollers
delivered their trash seemingly dry, di-

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

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.

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.

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.

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

than see us fall to detested America, like

Death of Edward P. 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.

four hours later than the Captain and

On the morning of the 27thoflast
month (March) the Stararrived in port,
after an absence uf nine months and
days.
Among the passengers up was Miss
Alice C. 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.
We are greatly indebted to Mrs.
Capt. Garland for the valuable information she has given in her journal about
the mission work. We wish we might

captain and me to similar seats on his
right and left, giving one also to Jessie
as she came in. 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

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

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

work would l>c its failure to shine out
A genuine Hawaiian Christianity is an
tsstntial part of our basis ol iciive opera

Christ among cur numerous Asiatic visit

The present adverse condition! may be
deemed as Imt transient. To our dim
human vision, annexation si ems to be our
manifest destiny, to be consummated
soon, ai the farthest. When a< coraplished,
its benefits will become so manifest thai
all parties will cheerfully acquiesce, anil
the present animosity will (ease. Until

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

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."

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

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

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
slaughter house was looked at, also the
proposed reservoir site, and the kuleanas
which the government wish to purchase.
The llamien monument was viewed,
which was donated by friends in England, and placed in position at the expense of the government. The Catholic
Mission was visited, in charge of Rev.
Father Wendolin. 'The officials then
proceeded to I.utz Hall, which was
established by Mrs. Rose Gertrude I.utz.
The hall was crowded by the lepers, who
were addressed by President Smith and
asked to state their desires. 'The tone
of their replies was of a thoughtful
nature and indicated a good feeling
existing among the inmates of the settle
ment. 'The President answered each
point in detail.
At the Superintendent's bouse the
physicians examined a number ol the
patients, and a consultation was held
with the excellent and experienced agent,
R. W. Meyer. There are now 1084
lepers at the settlement, besides about

advanced, and present an aspect ol

disease is characteristically anaesthetic,
and not attended with acute pain, yet ,

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.

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.

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.

Mr. Paul Neumann, and Prince

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.

April llth, about two hours after their

An ecpial number of Company A, ol

These men were stationed at the Govern

An examination of such remains ol

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.

HAWAIIAN BOABD.
lIONOI.I 111. 11. 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

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

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.

�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

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.

Mk. Hon ok:—In his rejoinder to my

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.

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.

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.

The meeting was well attended

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

is nothing especially new wherein the
published letter of President Cleveland
differs from what we supposed. The
letter certainly gives no hopes, to the

and friendly statesman. We regret that
his purposes forbid more than a verybrief occupancy of this Legation.
The G. A. R. De Long Post were
out in strong force in Central Union
Church Sunday eve the 20th, where
they listened to an eloquent sermon
fiom Rev. Dr. Beckwith. 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. Mrs. Dr. Beckwith is the
oldest sistel of the deceased, lo whom a
tribute might fitly have been rendered
at the time as was done In the Orator
Mr. VV. R. Castle, .it the Cemetery, mi
Decoration Day.
Mr. B. F. Dillingham returns here
without immediate prospect of obtaining funds for the construction of the
railway around Oahu. In January, the
Investment Insurance Corporation of
New York had guaranteed a two million
dollar loan at five per cent on twenty
year bonds, to the Oahu and Railway
Company, from the Lancashire Trust
Mortgage and Insurance Co., of London. 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.

view of this action the Kcv. Lutcia and

on the way to say good bye to friends.
Hut we regret to have to report that a

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

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

livery Christian enlisted in the evangelization of the different peoples in Hawaii, will at least earnestly pray that
good and stable government may soon
become permanently established in these
Islands. So far as can be well or wisely
done, such Christians will labor to se
cure such good government.
It makes
untold difference in the progress of religion and education whether vice is
unchecked or not by law. 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

We had a good trip to Butaritari only

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

her look handsome. Over $100 of stock
was taken, and I left the first G I. S. S.

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.

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?

Rev. W. N. Lono composed a song to

ple as to the propriety of the immediate
annexation of Hawaii as a Territory of
the United States.
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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

the government
pedition of nearly fifty military and
police, in addition to forces of police on

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. /.
We art deeply grieved for this vigorous and useful man prematurely cut off;
and for his bereaved family.

is Dangerously Contagious

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

It is six years since we last crossed

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

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.

' 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.

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

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.

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.

has been attended by no serious public
disorder or injury to lif or property.
The record of our community has been

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

This institution in Honolulu is probably the most noticeable measure ol
public confidence in the Government.
During the (Queen's resistance to the

greatly embarrass the Treason. This
distrust was arrested by the appointment
of the Wilcox-Jones cabinet. No in

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.

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.

HAWAIIAN BOAKB.
HONOLULU. H. 1.
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.

God wills it be so. 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 HAND OF GOD.
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.

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 internal taxes ranged at about

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

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.

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.

American Interests Protected.
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.

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

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

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.

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.

God has made us to feel, that we may

them, we do mischief to the moral system within us.

THE COMMUNION OF THE HOLY
GHOST.
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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

stands on three steps, on the face of
which is deeply cut and gilded the following inscription in English and Hawaiian :

the care of the Roman Catholic Church
and its solemn dedication took place on
September 11th, in the presence of a
large assemblage of lepers, and a few
who arrived that morning from Honolulu by the S. 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-

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

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

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.

The repeated demands of Japan for
her people here to share in the suffrage

a disorderly and defiant disposition
among some of them, which we are sure
meets with no countenance from their

The Roman
Catholic and Anglican Bishops were in

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.

A Leper Kills and is Killed.
A very sad tragedy has taken place in
Ewa. 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.

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.

Rev. Hiram Bingham, D.D and
Mis. 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.

testimony of allegiance to the Lord
Jesus Christ made in that Congress,

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

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

with congregations of one hundred.

heard from among his kindred in Illinois.
He had returned thus far from his visit

Soares were enabled to enjoy a week's
sojourn at the Volcano House, in its

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,

"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?

Apollos did at Hphesus, knowing only
the baptism of John, and you will be led
as he was into a larger comprehension
and clearer light. The Pacific.

We mourn for the awful waste that
goes on in the world, the extinction of
species, the myriads of seeds that never
germinate, of blossoms that fall in their
perfection, and of fruits that never set
or ripen, but there is no waste equal
to the waste of human life.- McMillan.
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.
Hamilton.
True peace is the blessing of the gospel. It may be sorted into these three:
(1) Peace with (iod -peace of recon
ciliation. (2) Peace with ourselves
peace of conscience. (3) Peace with
another—peace of love and unity,
Giirmill.
Every time a stone is thrown straight
at the devil it is sure to hit some promi
