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

so much interest in the Christian world
about the middle ofthe present century,
is in the Atlantic ocean, nearly opposite
Morocco. Part of the island is highly
mountainous. The highest peak is
upward of live thousand feet.
The island is called Madeira, which
means timber, on account of the ahundance of wood that grows upon it. Fire
has been the most effective agent in
time the
removing the wood. At
woods were constantly buttling for a
period of seven years.
Ever since its discovery by the Portuguese in 1 ll'J, it has been a part of the
dominions of Portugal and subject to
the laws of the mother country. The
Roman Catholic being the religion of
the state, the Portuguese were forbidden
to become Protestants, as is the case in
all countries where the Roman church
controls the civil power.
From one country to another the
people lived and died in the most
profound ignorance of the vital truths ol
Christianity. No one stood up amid
this mental and spiritual darkness and
proclaimed to them the way of Salvation,
until Dr. Robert K. Kalley, a minister of
the Free Church of Scotland and also a
physician, arrived at Madeira in 1838,
He, with his wife, were on their way to
China as missionaries, but owing to the
illness of Mrs. Kalley, they were unable
to pursue their journey, and so landed
at Madeira.
Entirely ignorant of the Portuguese
language, he resolved to obtain the
knowledge of it that he might declare in
their own tongue the Plan of Salvation.
He opened a school to teach the
Knghsh language, with the design ol
acquiring the Portuguese. He early
began to establish schools for the
diffusion of education throughout the
island. From his own purse he paid the
salaries of the teachers, and also furnished all the books for the schools.
The desire to learn was very strong.
These schools became very popular and
commenced a .course of unparalleled
prosperity. Within a short period, no
less than eight hundred adults were
taught in these schools, besides children.
The people were delighted and amazed
at the benevolence of Dr. Kalley, who
sustained all expense without any
compensation.
Even the municipal authorities of the
city of Funchal, the principal city on the
island, were constrained to pass a vote
of thanks to Dr. Kalley for his disinterested acts of benevolence.
Dr. Kalley found the Portuguese in
the most deplorable and almost incredible ignorance ofthe Word of God.
Some time between the years 1750
and 176K the Bible was translated into
the Portuguese language by Antonio
Pereira dc Fegueiredo, a Romish Priest.
This had been sanctioned by the
a few government schools that were
formed on the Island.
Early in his efforts Dr. Kalley began
to citculate the Portuguese Bible.
The people lead with deepest interest
a book so rare, so entirely new to them.
Copies soon spread to the most distant
part uf the Island.
Capt. Tate, ofthe British Navy, who
was an eye-WltneSt of the things that
occurted in Madeira, thus narrates the
influence of the circulation nl the
scriptures among the people. "A desire
to investigate the life-giving truths ol
the Bible spread widely among the people. They began to hunger and thirst
Their souls were

touched by the Spirit of Christ. The
seed took root and grew -was watered
from on high and soon became fruitful
To one sinner after another the Word
came home with demonstration anil
with power. In the course of reading
the Scriptures they met with many
things inconsistent with the religious
teachings they had received from then
fathers.
Some applied to their priests for a
solution of then difficulties, and becoming
gradually accustomed to
the excr
cisc of their mental powers were often
dissatisfied with the answers given to
their inquiries. The piiests were an
noyed when the)- found themselves iui
passed, as they frequently were in the
knowledge of (lod by then own parish
ioners, and ere long began to oppose
both the schools and the Scriptures.
One intelligent peasant having Been
that popery was inconsistent with
revelation, became a protestant, anil
was soon after excommunicated.
The priests became alarmed at the
growing intelligence of the people.
I'hey saw that this practice of Bible
reading if continued, would produced ■
vast change in the feelings and views
ofthe Portuguese. Resolving to check
this, the bishops and piiests declared
that "the Bible was a book from hell,"
and the sentence of ex-communication
was thundered against all who read it.
Dr, Kalley saw that the storm of pet
sectitinn was using. He had been war
ried by the friends in Scotland to flee
from it. But he was prepared to say
with Nehemiah, "Should such a man
as I llee ?"
He wrote a letter to Scotland that
was published in the Glasgow, Scottish,
Guardian, June li, I*4 3. The following
extracts give a lucid view ofthe state ol
things in Madeira at that time. "Al
present I am threatened with imprison
ment, and if the enemy be allowed to
fulfil what is on his heart and on his
tongue, I am likely to be in jail when
you receive this. God may, however,
interpose at any hour, and if it be for
his glory and the eternal welfare of the
people that I shall not go, he will open
his name, I should only have cause to
rejoice in this."
You reminded me of the order given
when persecuted in one city to flee into
another, but you will also remember
that it is said of the hireling that he
llecth because he is an hireling and the
Wolf comes and catches the sheep.
Wire I to flee, I believe the poor sheep
of Christ's fold would feel deeply discouraged and the wolf would catch
them. The Lord can deliver out of the
paw of the lion and of the bear. He
would deliver them though I were away,
but it is necessary for us to examine
well, and seek to know the will of God,
for it is not for us to run whenever the
lion grows. Let those who have no
hope or confidence in the Eternal fear
man that shall die, but let not us fear
eat th or hell.
" The judge is brother-in-law to the
governor, and both bitterly oppose me.
Two men are excommunicated and
many more threatened."
Yet amidst all this Dr. Kalley con

The schools were closed by order of
the administrator. The houses of the
scholars, chiefly Bible readers, were
broken open; thirty men and women
were taken prisoners. Some lay pining
in the jail of Funchal upwards of twenty
long months, supported by English

generosity.
Mis. Alves was one of the eminent
Christians of this persecuted Mock. Dr.
Kalley says: "She was an intelligent,
clear minded woman, quite willing to
die if it was the Lord's will."
Her godly life and her fervent prayers
attracted the attention ofthe enemies ol
the Bible. They resolved to make an
example of her, in order to inspire others
with tenor. She was taken from her
family of seven children, the youngest
infant, and committed to prison on
.in
the :ilst of January, 1843.
This was for years the home of this
Christian lady, who breathed only the
spirit of prayer for the salvation of her
persecutors, The time of her trial before the court was postponed, it would
seem, to protract her sufferings, and
compel her to recant and return to the
Romish church. But her faith and
courage were not shaken by such means.
The priests and officers of government,
seeing the firmness of her faith, and
having little or no hope of a change in
her sentiments, were strongly and deeplyexcited.
They resolved that they should suffer
the highest penalty of the law. The
�Vol. 51, No. ll.]
day of the trial finally arrived on the 2d
of May, ISM.
There were three charges against her
blasphemy.
apostasy, heresy and
She was tried only on the charge of
blasphemy.
The question was put to her by the
judge; -"Do you believe the consecrated
host is the real body and real blood of
Jesus Christ?'' Mrs. Alves knew that
her life would depend on the answer she
gave. Knowing this, what shall we say
ofthe courage and faith of a Christian
lady who could reply to the court with
distinct utterance, " I do not believe it."
Immediately after her frank avowal, the
judge condemned her to suffer d -.it 11as
provided in the law, the costs of the pro
cess to be paid out of her goods.
The British subjects then on the I si
and resolved to make an effort to save
the life of this excellent woman, so unjustly doomed to die. They drew up a
petition to the Queen of Portugal, praying that the sentence might be reversed.
At the same time an appeal was taken
from the decision of the court in Madeu a
to the higher court at Lisbon.
Her Heavenly Father, in whom she
so fully trusted, and who has promised
that He will never forsake those who
trust in him, so ordained that her sentence was changed from death to imprisonment. In all, this Christian ladywas shut up in that dismal prison al
most three years. She was finally re
stored to her family, after this long and
painful separation, and with her husband,
children and sister, fieri from Madeira to
Trinidad, and from there to Illinois.

stances, of the sufferings to which these
poor people were subjected for Christ's
sake.
The state of the Portuguese Bible
readers was very perilous. They were
persecuted on each side. Their neighbors who still adhered to the Roman
chinch, the priest, and the police were
constantly on the alert to arrest them.
They were forbidden to read the
Scriptures or to pray together in their
own dwellings. Every copy of the
word of God on which the priests could
lay hands was immediately committed
to the flames. But thanks be to (iod
the Bibles were not all destroyed. Some
enclosed their Bibles in small boxes
and buried them in the earth, others
opened a place in the stone walls ofthe
house and plastered over them. And
others wrapped them in cloth and hung
them in trees of very thick foliage. In
such ways as ingenuity and piety
could suggest, at least fifty Bibles and
three hundred New Testaments were
preserved from the destroyer. The
priests succeeded in getting a Bible
from a little girl and burned it. With
tears streaming down her face, she told
them that they had destroyed her Bible,
but they could not destroy the 21 chap

tets she had committed to memory and
treasured in her heart. The great oh
ject of these persecutions was not
reached while Dr. Kalley remained in
Madeira. Large companies of men
were marching through the city threat
cning the destruction of the protestants
both foreign and native.
Dr. Kalley addressed a letter to the
police magistrate, informing him of the
facts. The hearer of the letter was
seized in theStreets and severely beaten,
and the letter taken from him. Dr.
Kallev then appealed to the governor,
who replied that the disturbance was the
fruit of the tree he had planted in the
island, which could produce nothing but
discoid and trouble.
On the 9th of August, IHIG, things
were brought to a crisis. A great mob
of angry men gathered in front of Dr.
Kalley's bouse, and entering it, brought
out his books and made a bonfire of
them. The Dr. had previously escaped
in female attire, and boarded a British
vessel which lay anchored in the harbor.
The following day placards were put on
the governor's palace, demanding all
protestants to leave the island during
that week. On the 23d of August, 1X46,
the "William" loosed her sails slowly,
and beautifully glided out of the bay of
Funchal, carrying 20(1 Christians from
the land of their fathers to seek a refuge
in a land of strangers. Most of this
large party had left their homes at night
and could not without risking their lives,
return to their ruined cottages to col
lect any little property that might be
left. Many of them came on board with
nothing but the clothes they had on, and
these in tatters from their wanderings in
the mountains. They arrived at He
West Indies where many died, owing to
the climate. Finally, most of those who
survived, having heard of America the
land of freedom, resolved to again
trust to God's guidance, and try a country of which they knew nothing. Illinois
was chosen as a good location for them,
and two colonies were there formed, one
in Jacksonville, and one in Springfield.
By their industrious thrifty ways, tbey
soon procured their own homes.
Dr. K. afterwards visited them, bringing another company of believers with
him. He organised a church in Jacksonville, and one in Sptihglield.
At last the}- found a place of peace
and rest, where they with many others
who have since come among them, live
in contentment, and where they and
their children enjoy all the blessings of a
free country. Thus has the promise of
God been verified, "There is no man
that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or
children, or lands for my sake, and the
gospel's, but he shall receive an hundred
fold now, * * and In the world to
come eternal life."

Christ the World's Healer.
It is undoubtedly difficult to draw an
exact line and say what teachings are
essential to a true and efficient teaching
of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ,
and what are not so. But one main
teaching seems to us beyond all doubt
central and essential. That is, that
men must believe on the Lord Jesus,
and receive him as Lord and Savior.
He is the Bread of Life to nourish and
vivify their spiritual being. He is the
Lamb of God slain for their sins. He
is God's revelation of himself to them,
for their soul's healing and life. God,
the Father, comes down close to sinning
and dying men in his Son Jesus, so
that they may know and turn to the
Father, and take life and soul strength.
It is, therefore, necessary, above all
else, to hold up Christ before men, and
cause them to understand his excellence
and beauty, and receive him as their
Lord and Redeemer. We are not saying
that no one can so turn to the Father as
to find life without knowing Christ.
But the revelation of God in Christ so
incalculably surpasses all that imperfect
knowledge of God which Jew or Islamite
or Parsee are likely to attain, that He
becomes emphatically The Way of
Salvation.
If this is so, then the guiding aim of
every Christian missionary should, by
his own life and by all his teachings, so
to lift up the character and work of His
Lord before men, as to fix their attention
upon Him as the One to believe on and
follow. When men become loving and
loyal to Christ, they are redeemed men,
and they heal and uplift all the community in which they dwell. Christ in
men thus becomes the Life and Light of
all Society. He brings Peace for War;
Compassion and Mutual Help instead of
Oppression; Social Purity, Temperance,
Justice and Mercy in place of Social
Disorders. Only as Christ enters into
the hearts of men, and becomes their
life, will the disorders of society be
healed.
Makiki Pumping Station.
We are glad to record that the Water
works department have made something
of a beginning towards the supply
of the city with water from its
natural and copious source in the artesian water stratum underneath. Many
years ago a well was bored just above
the Makiki reservoir. The top of the
flow was 125 feet below the surface of
the ground, and a five foot brick shaft
was built down to the surface of the
flow, and a so-called "pulsometer" pump
put in, which proved a failure. After
lying idle several years, an excellent

into the reservoir. This is sufficient to
supply the present wants of that end of
the city.
It is now in order for the authorities
to proceed as rapidly as possible to put
a large well down near lower Pauoa
bridge and force a full torrent of water
into the great Nuuanu main with pies

Another well and pump should at once
be started below Kamehameha school,

Stranding of the
Miowera.
A leading event of the month was this
disaster to the noble steamship Miowera
of the new line of monthly boats between Australia and British Columbia.
At 8:20 p. M. Oct. 2d., the ship unfortunately approached too near the shore
before the pilot had boarded her, and
grounded on the reef within the entrance
of the harbor on its western side. The
breeze and slight swell at once urged
the stern upward until the great ship
lay at full length upon the coral in fif
teen feet of water. Active efforts were
at once begun to lighten her, and to pull
her off by the aid of steamers in port.
all proved vain; the ship was pushed
higher on the reef each day, and after
five days of strenuous effort became
somewhat permanently lodged in about
eleven feet of water. She had leceived
no radical injury. If no storm arises to
destroy her, means will doubtless be
found to float her.
Her passengers and mails were forwarded on the 11th per Australia. The
sight of this noble ship in front of the
harbor, helpless and in great jeopardy;
has been a distressing one. The topic
has greatly occupied the public mind.
The diversion from the hitherto absorbing political issue has no doubt been a
wholesome one. Men of clashing opinions could cordially agree in their sympathies about the Miowera, and heartily
unite in active efforts for her relief.
Carriages go Through From Hilo to
the Volcano House.
There are still over five miles remaining of the Volcano road to be built.
The ground is. however, of such a
nature that the stuge proprietor Mr. T.
R. Wilson has been able to open a
temporary track upon which wheeled
vehicles can he taken through. It was
certainly a great event when a party of
sixteen some two weeks ago went
through upon wheels from Hilo to the
Volcano House.
It is announced that stages will hereafter run thrice a week each way the
whole distance to the Volcano. We

An unsuccessful attempt was made
last week by Capt. Arthur McDowell to
float the Miowera, by the use of socalled Samson posts placed at the sides
of the ship to lift her clear ofthe ground
so that she could he pulled forward.
The tackles used were inadequate in
strength and gave way.
Further efforts are in progress by experienced wreckers from San Francisco,
with what prospects of success we have
no means of judging. Just now the
outlook for the Miowera's future does
not seem encouraging.

Rev. O. P. Emerson;
Dear Sir:—It gives me unfeigned
pleasure to have to answer your kind
and welcome letter. Many thanks for
the kind sentiments in it towards my hoy
Oliver. It is gratifying to me to hear
from the principal Miss Malone that he
is progressing so favorably in his schooling. My earnest desire is that he will
always do that which si right and just,
then he will never be brought to shame.
The Star arrived hereon the 16th of this
month, her stay was very brief. Mr.
Rand was on board, and would very
much have liked to have gone down to Kiti
to gather up his belongings, but the act
ing governor refused to let him gO, Mr,
Rand was very much chagrined, and
sorely disappointed at this refusal. He
sides there were many Christian people
from all parts of the island who made
long journeys for the express purpose ol
meeting those on board, and the}' too
were grieved, and disappointed. We
cannot account for this uncalled for antipathy toward the M. S.; the)- do nothing on board that vessel that they need
be ashamed nor afraid of, it is simply a
bad and malicious feeling on the part ol
the authorities.
The governor has made quite an impression amongst the people, they speak
of him as being a good man. He appears to be rather indifferent to any par
ticular sects of religion. He has given
permission to start schools in full swing
right here where I am living; one of
which is a government school, having a
native teacher, and he receives for his
services the sum of $. per month; and
his wife too receives the same amount.
This is not a bad income for a native.
The other school is our own private one;
(of which I am principal) where we hold
our social meetings, prayer meetings,
and singing classes, so far we are getting along very canny. On Saturday,
we have quite a large congregation, from
far and near to hear the word of God.

THE FRIKND.
Rev. S. Kauwealoha has visited Hivaoa
during the past few weeks to associate
with his fellow disciples, and now has
returned by the way of Nuuhiwa to Uapou, where we have much sympathy for
his loneliness.
We are here in our fields carrying on
the work of the Lord as he enables us to
do. I received your letter of last Feb
ruary inquiring about the articles sent to
the Hon. C. R. Bishop. I hope that
you have received them. I gave careful directions to the Agent Mr. A. Crawford at Taiohae in Nuuhiwa, and shall
be greatly rejoiced to know that they
have duly reached you. Hut if they
have gone astray, how will it be?
My daughter Kaulu Kekela, with
Emily Hapuku, are now conducting the
girls' school at Atuona, over which Z.
Hapuku and his wife are in charge.
Mr. Sarron the teacher of the children
among us at Puamau is laboring herein
good health, in his work of teaching the
French language. My wife and I unite
in loving regards to you and all your
family. Give my great love to your pupils in the Preachers' Institute, and to
all the Christian brethren and friends in
the Hawaiian Islands, together with the
missionary fathers and the Hawaiian
pastors all.
I am, your fellow laborer in Christ,

OUR PORTRAITS OF DR. AND MRS.
DAMON.
Before the beginning of the present
year plans were partially matured for
the early issuance of a Special Jubilee
Supplement to The Friend, and particular contributions chiefly of a reminiscent character were solicited from
certain individuals, and in some cases
promised by them. Only one of these
was actually written, and appeared in
our September issue, on "Fifty Years
of Hawaiian Commercial Development,"
by Thomas G. Thrum, a most instructive and valuable paper.
The year proved to be one of intensely exciting political issues and events,
absorbing all interests in their tram,
and profoundly engrossing all minds.
To enter upon reminiscences of the half
century past was difficult, while the
pressing issues of the present imperatively claimed attention and strenuous
effort. To compare small to larger
things, it would have been not more
easy than for the N. Y. Independent in
the year of Fort Anderson and Bull
Run to have
columns to
reminiscences of the war of 1812. We
have all been too keenly occupied in
making actual history to care either for
writing or reading the history of the
past.
Before completing the Fifty-first volume of The Friend, there will be appended to this number, two beautiful
portraits provided by Mr. Frank W.
Damon for the intended Jubilee Supplement, those of the founder and for forty
years the editor of this paper, the excellent and beloved Rev. Samuel C.
Damon D.D., and of his noble wife and
coadjutor in work. These dear and
venerated friends are still fresh in the
memories of the people of Honolulu,
and their speaking likenesses will be
most welcome to the many who knew
them with love and honor.
The Friend may be called a monument to Dr. Damon's whole hearted
zeal for his Lord and Master's work in
the Pacific, as well as of his lively and
unflagging enterprise, and of the practical wisdom and energy which made
the paper a success. It was the forty
years' impetus given by Father Damon's
successful conduct of The Friend,
which more than any other influence
has inspired its continuance for the ten
years since he' retired from its control.
It is the oldest paper now published on
Pacific Shores. We have reason to
know that it continues to be precious to
many Christian hearts.
The Rev. Samuel C. Damon arrived
in Honolulu as Seamen's Chaplain in
1842, and in the following January
issued the first number of this paper
under the title ol "Temperance Advacate."
The title worked gradually
around in two years into The Friend.
The forty volumes issued by the eminent man who founded it, are a treasure
house of Hawaiian and Polynesian history, besides recording the Christian
work and prospects of each year.
In this labor of her honored husband,
as well as in all his labors, Mrs. Julia
Mills Damon was a wise and active coadjutor. Her presence was one always
felt as a strong power for good in this
community to which she gave her life.
It was a wise and gracious presence.
Although she did not write for The
Friend, she largely inspired it, and it
owes a great portion of its character to
her influence.
We send forth these two attractive
pictures to our readers as a little Jubilee
memento which we believe they
prize and preserve.

Number 12.
NATIVE
PASTORS AND CHURCHES.
IMPENDING DISASTER TO
The restoration of the queen threatened by Secretary Gresham would involve
a variety of disastrous consequences.
One of the most serious and most disgraceful would be its crushing effect
upon nearly all of our best native pastors
and upon the best class of Hawaiian
Christians. Our native pastors of Protestant Churches are among the most
intelligent and high minded class of
natives. For a long period, they have
been manfully contending against the
overwhelming torrent of rrloral debanchery and heathen superstition proceeding
from the royal court. Their hearts have
been grieved and sore at the corrupting
domination of the monarchy. When
that deadly power, so imperious in its
tyranny over the popular mind and will,
was overthrown, the greater part of these
good men rejoiced, and welcomed the
establishment of honest government and
pure influences. To some of them, race
feeling and national prejudices made the
change uowelcome, but the majority of
the pastors are deeply in sympathy with
the new government.
The majority of their people are not
so, because they are far less intelligent,
and have been taught to regard this
movement as a trampling on the inherent
right of the native Hawaiian to be supreme in the government of his own
country, however ignorant and incapable
he may be of meeting the necessities of
the grand civilization and immense production and commerce which have grown
up in Hawaii, and in which the native
has no part. Add to this influence the
fact that a very large proportion of
the Hawaiian people, through court
influence for a whole generation, have
reverted to superstition, and are slaves
to their sorcerers and to the ltnvest forms
of vice, and it is evident why their sympathies are so largely with a royalty of
their own sort.
During the eleven months of the new
government the ex-queen's secret information from Washington of her intended
restoration, has enabled her to maintain
a powerful system of terrorism over her
�92
former subjects,
who have been conthreatened
with speedily coming
stantly
punishment if disloyal to her cause. To
illustrate the effect of this state of things
upon the pastors, take the case of Rev.
J. Waiamau, the pastor of the large
Kaumakapili Church in Honolulu. Mr.
Waiamau, as chaplain to the last Legislative Assembly, was brought into daily
knowledge of the gross and unblushing
corruption of the queen's party, and of
the extreme baseness ofher political aims
and methods. Besides this, through the
impressive influence of the late lamented
Rev. James Bicknell, Mr. Waiamau had
become earnestly enlisted in the efforts
of the latter to unite the native christians
in the reformation of idolatrous practices
and witchcraft.
In consequence, the Kaumakapili pastor was in strong sympathy with the
overthrow of the monarchy which
had so long been
his people.
As the consequence, ,h.e has become an
object of bitter hostility from a majority
of his congregation. On the 26th nit.,
he was howled out of his pulpit by the
royalist majority, who were emboldened
by the news of the 34th that President
Cleveland had ordered the restoration of
the queen. Should that be accomplished,
utter temporal ruin would not fail to be
visited upon this pastor and all those of
his people who had manifested sympathy
with his views.
The same would be the fate of Kauhane and losepa, the two native pastors
in the last legislature, who there became
thoroughly convinced of-the hopeless
perversity of the queen,, and were converted to Annexation as tho best hope
for stable and honest government, and
for remedial influences, to check the
present rapid decay of. their people.
Several other leading pastors are in the
same predicament, as well as large
numbers of the best christian natives.
It may be that a time of grievous trial is
at hand forbur Hawaiian churches. But
we believe that the gracious God, who
has so often delivered Hawaii in extremity, will again interpose. It is not to
be believed that the* American people will
not effectually forbid the reinstatement
of a heatheni/ing monarchy over the
struggling Christianity of native Hawaiian*, as well as over this noble foreign
civilization.
The New United States Minister.
On the Australia arrived the Hon.
Albert S. Willis of Kentucky, the Envoy
and Minister of the United States to this
Government. On the 7th, Minister
Willis presented his Letters of Credence,
THK
FRIKNI).
with many expressions of friendship and
regard both .to this government and to
the people of this country. The actual
meaning and force of those expressions
will be interpreted by his acts.
OUR HEAVENLY BODIES.
in Central Union Church, November,
f Prom a discourse
19th, 1893, by the Rpv. K. (. BatK WITH, D.D.I
I. John 111. '2. "We shall lit like him, for we
shall see Him as lit is.
"
* * * If it seems to any of you
that such a transfiguration will obscure
our personal identity, making us so
unlike our present selves, that we shall
not know each other in that new and
radiant ensphering, remember, first, that
it does not make things obscure to leline
them. The more you polish a bit of
rosewood, the more it brings out the
beautiful tracery of its graining. It is a
rude comparison, to be sure, but I mean
to say that identity is not a mere external
quality or an accident. It is something
inherent. You cannot refine it out.
Just as this hand would be none the less
seen to be mine if I had washed it very
white, so it would be none the less seen
to be mine if it should be made radiant
with celestial light. And remember,
second, that the refining which will make
the body spiritual will make the discernment spiritual. "We shall see as we
are seen." And so, through whatever
marvelous changes we are to come into
the likeness of our glorified Lord, we
shall know each other quickerand better
far than we know each other here. We
know each other here, not simply by the
size, and the color, and the contour, but
a great deal more by certain personal
qualities of which the face and the figure,
and the posture are only a poor expression. I know it is you not so much by
the color of the eyes as by the light that
is in them, not so much by the limning
of the lips as by the smile that is upon
them. But in that perfected nature,
with these vile bodies made like unto
Christ's glorious body, through the facile
and transparent form we may believe
there will be such quick and clear revealing of the soul that is in us, that we
shall all know each other there a thousand
fold more unerringly. Oh, we are to be
like Him. And because He will know
me, in the regeneration, I am sure my
mother will know me, and my boy will
know me, in the same regeneration. It
will not hinder this heavenly recognition
that we are all to be made like Him, as
if one should say "All so much alike;
how shall we know each other apart ?"
F"or remember again, that this likeness
to Christ will be only in quality and
nature of being, not in identity. Your
little child that, "in tears and pain," you
have given up into the arms of the loving
Lord, will be only more and more itself,
as it goes on unto perfection under its
fashioning into the likeness of Christ.
And that will make recognition so easy
that I have no doubt not only that every
Christian mother will instantly know
[December, 1893
her own child among all the ransomed
millions of little ones, but that every
tenderest babe will know its own sainted
mother, under the marvelous revealing
of that perfected likeness to Christ.
Another thing follows from this assurance that we shall be like Him. I am
speaking still of the bodily likeness.
Like unto his glorious body we shall be
fashioned, remember. Now see how
that lifts off the limitations of this body
of our flesh. You think of Christ, no
doubt—l always do as having the freedom of all his universe, You do not
believe there is a single glimmering star
so far away in the infinite depths that he
cannot visit it whenever he will. You
do not think of him as tethered by any
of the laws of our material life, gravitation, for example. You do not think of
Him as going up from Olivet by virtue
of the uplift of an omnipotent arm. He
went up as naturally as the light goes
up, unhindered by any restraint of these
rude forces, by the inherent buoyancy of
the body celestial. Swiftei than the light
flies a million fold, or a million million
fold, it may be, you believe our transfigured Lord can wing his way from
heaven to earth and from earth to heaven.
Or, if not, why not ? What limitations
hinder him ? Is it because it seems to
be against the laws we know ? But we
do not know all the laws. We are learning new things all the while, and some
very wonderful things. Indeed, we seem
just now to be standing face to face with
forces that may be prophetic of this very
fact of a celestial body, not only untethered by any rude forces that we know,
but self resistant of these very forces;
not only un gravitating but anti gravitating; a body with the unhindered freedom
of all the created universe. Modern
science just now stands with bated breath,
with its hand uplifted among the electric
forces, and its eye peering out into the
ether depths through which the light
conies flashing, wondering if such a fatt
as that is not breaking in upon the eager
vision. Now if our rude science is beginning to find such things among the
forces it can test and tabulate, why may
we not easily believe that in that realm
of celestial things that is so infinitely
beyond the reach of our mathematical
analysis, and our chemical analysis,
and our spectrum analysis, there are
forms and forces more tenuous than the
ether of the inter stellar spaces, and
more facile and forceful than the light or
lightning; forms and forces fitted for the
ensphering of our transfigured Lord ?
Such a celestial body no doubt enshrines
him in his home of light and glory.
And we shall be like him, "our vile
body fashioned like unto his glorious
body," "changed into his image from
glory to glory."
And that will be heaven; that deliverance from these earthly limitations, that
power of searching the height, and the
depth, and the breadth, and the length,
of the wonderful work of God.

Mrs. Ann Maria Dimond.
|ln Memoriatn].
This aged and beloved survivor of the
old Missionary group of Honolulu,
passed from earth to the heavenly home,
November 20th. She was born at the
old Howling Green In New York City,
early in I*oB. Her mother was of Scotch
parentage, her father French, and the
sole survivor of a planter's family massacred in St. Domingo. He was then in
his eighth year, Was carried to France by
a sea captain, but all the relatives there
The captain
had been guillotined.
adopted anil brought him up to his own
profession. His name was pronounced
Anner, the true spelling unknown. Capt.
Anner became a successful ship master
in the West Indian trade, and noted for
his polished manners. Mrs. Dimond
inherited some property from her parents.
Although of Episcopal parents, Miss
Anner became an active member of the
Presbyterian Church, and deeply inter
ested in mission work. In her last illness she recalled her tending a negro
couple in New York sick with cholera,
one night in company with the late Amos
Cooke, and washing the woman's feet.
Becoming deeply interested in Foreign
Missionary work, she was married
November 3d, 1834, to Mr. Henry
Dimond, an assistant missionary of the
American Board. The young couple
sailed December sth from Boston in the
ship Hallespont in company with Rev.
Titus Coan and Mr. E. O. Hall and their
wives, forming the sixth reinforcement
to the mission in the Sandwich Islands.
The DimondS resided many years on
the old mission premises now occupied
by Mr. Hopper, where much warm and
abundant hospitality was dispensetl to
their fellow missionaries from the other
islands. Mrs. Dimond speedily became
known as a woman of both strong and
sweet nature, and activity in good works.
The seven children began to come fast
during the next fourteen years and
absorbed the larger part of the mother's
time and strength.
Mr. Dimond'a duties in the Mission
having been chiefly of a secular nature,
and being no longer needed, he resigned
about 1849 and engaged in mercantile
business, removing in a few years to his
present residence. The parlor of their
house was planned with especial reference to church and prayer meetings. It
was there that Fort Street Church was
organized, and its constitution signed on
the parlor table. Mrs. Dimond was most
active in church work under Pastors
Taylor and Corwin. One of Dr. Corwin's
first questions not long since to a Honolulu friend was, "Has my mainstay,
Mrs. Dimond become so infirm ?" She
was largely instrumental in building
Fort Street Church, in securing the
money for the lot, and in the fairs for the
building fund.
She had great love for the new Central
Union Church. It is stated that her
93
THE FRIEND
private contributions for the building
were larger than those of any other lady.
All the plans of the building were carefully studied by her. When completed
she was conducted through it and surveyed it with deepest interest, reliectant
to leave. She never had strength to
attend public worship there. In her last
sickness, one of the most frequent words
on her lips was, referring to the church :
"Thy servants take pleasure in her
stones, and favor the dust thereof."
One of Mrs. Dimond's characteristics
was an ardent patriotism reaching out
towards both her native and her adopted
country. She longed to live to see the
two countries happily united for the
highest well being of the Hawaiian
people as well as for the welfare of
America. She was intensely interested
in the great struggle for political and
moral rights in the last legislature. In
her last days, finding a young friend
ignorant of what she wished to know of
public politics, she said, "If I were as
young as you, I would know everything
hat is going on." When the evil tidings
by the Alameda arrived on the 16th, it
became almost necessary to deceive her
in her weak state, so keen was her desire
to be informed of what all were so anxious
about.
This dear and aged mother lived in
faith and prayer, a life near to God and
heaven.
Her end was full of sweet
assurance and bright hope. She expressly desired that her features should not be
exposed to view at the funeral, and that
no eulogistic remarks should be made in
the services, so averse was she to publicity. The obsequies took place on the
21st at the house of her son-in-law,
Henry T. W'aterhouse. The pall bearers
were Messrs. W. W. Hall, C. M. Cooke,
S. E. Bishop, S. B. Dole, W. O. Smith
and G. P. Castle, all the sons of old and
dear missionary brothers.
The surviving children are Mrs. Dr.
Stangewald, Mrs. Henry Waterhouse,
General W. H. Dimond, and Mr. Edwin
H. Dimond. There are also three
daughters of a deceased daughter Mrs.
Sarah Kinney.
The widowed husband the aged Henry
Dimond, in great feebleness awaits the
Lord's call in resignation and hope.
The Miowera Saved.
After nearly six weeks on the reef, the
noble steamer Miowera was safely re-
moved from her perilous position, and
now lies safely moored in Honolulu
harbor. The injuries received by pounding on the coral prove to be slight. This
no doubt was largely owing to the soft
and yielding character of the rock upon
which she lay, as well as to the continuance of our characteristic Pacific weather. The tearing off of the outer stem
post with the rudder, is the only injury
necessitating important repairs before
proceeding to the Coast for complete
repairs to the dented plates of her bottom.
The post was torn tiff by the hawsers of
the steamers which tried to pull her off.
This will be replaced by means of a box
caisson fitted to the Miowera's stern,
sunk underneath, and pumped out. Inside this the men will work and rivet on
anew the separated post.
The process of pulling off the Miowera
by the experienced wrecker Captain
Metcalfe was comparatively simple. He
obtained a solid grip on the reef with one
enormous anchor for whose fluke a cavity
was blasted out. Other anchors were
made subsidiary. Powerful cables led
from these to solid fastenings on the hull
of the ship, and were hauled in by mighty
tackles from the ship's steam winches.
A couple of morning lides' slow steady
pulling, and she was dragged into
ocean's deep bosom once more.
A grievous blot has been removea
from our seaward view. That noble ship
lying in distress and mortal peril was a
most painful sight. We shall always
have a tender feeling towards this ship
as she courses back and forth as we trust
she long may do across the Pacific.
Probably no ship of her size ever lay
stranded half as long without destruction,
unless it was Noah's ark—and that never
floated again.
Mashona Land.
This district of South Africa lies about
500 miles due east of the precise Antipode of Honolulu. It is a curious
coincidence, that exactly under our feet,
another severe conflict should be going
on between the respective claims for
sovereignty of a dark and a white race,
although the conditions and the character
of the conflict are extremely different.
Here the whites have the highest interests of the natives in view as well as the
necessities of their own civilization,
while the best class of the natives themselves desire with the whites to be free
from a debasing heathenish tyranny. In
Africa there is simply a contest between
savages and white immigrants.
The sovereignty of Mashona land is
what king Lobengula is contesting with
the whites who have occupied that wonderful land of gold in large numbers.
Lobengula and his half million of Matsbele people are the next neighbors of
Mashona land on the south-west, and
have not been disturbed in their homes
by the whites. But the Mashona negroes
have long been slaves to the warlike
Matabeles, who continue their practice
of raiding their country. This has
created a fierce war with the English
and Dutch immigrants, who forbid the
Matabeles to molest their Mashona
friends. The few thousand whites are
reported already to have gained decisive
victories by the help of Maxim guns
over the tenfold numerous blacks. Of
course Lobengula and his people will be
subjugated. Undoubtedly the work will
be more or less brutally done as in most
wars. But it is for the general interest
�94
..
of human progress that the noble uplands
of Mashona -land should be occupied by
a progressive white nee, who shall
establish at.least a rude justice and
social order in the heart of the Dark
Continent. The enormous reefs of gold
in that land ensure its rapid occupation.

down to the lowest sailor, will be participant in the atrocious crime.
Our Heads of state have been in a
position of profoundly heavy responsibility, between their duty of maintain
ing their resistance to the overthrow of
their Government to the last useful
effort, and their duty of avoiding useless
slaughter either of the American forces
or ot their own citizens arrayed against
them.
By the resolute action, however, of its
supporters, the Government has been
carried beyond its doubts and hesitation.
The vigorous and united demand of
our citizens to fight the U. S. forces to
the bitter end has settled the question,
and whenever such forces or any other,
unauthorized by the Congress of the
United States attack this Government,
they will be resisted to the utmost. A
large proportion of the citizens hold in
their veins the blood of Lexington and
Gettysburg. They are perfectly armed

good account of any force possible at
present to be brought against them.
They will light with patience and
courage in the glorious cause of civili
sation and constitutional government
against the reinstatement of a semiheathen monarch and vicious ti am pier
on constitutions.
A true man can find
no better end to his life than to fall
fighting in such a cause.
To the best of our judgment, Minister
Willis will not precipitate this conflict.
If he waits until December 21, Congress
will have assembled, and will undoubt
edly have taken the whole business out
of the President's hands. There can be
little fear that Congress will ever authorise the carrying out of this infamous
intention of replacing a base and reck
less heathen tyrant over the glorious
civilization of this large American
Colony. Until we know to the contrary,
we shall believe that Minister Willis
has vigorously remonstrated against it.
When Congress has assembled, we
expect to learn that the dark cloud of
war and slaughter which now hangs
over our fair city, has been dispelled to
be succeeded by bright days of peace
and prosperity.

This page is devoted to the jllUiaaTl of the Hawaiian

Rev. C. M. Hyde,

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

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