Hi Hawaiian Hoard ' A STRONG WITNESS. On the Sabbath when we in Honolulu were waiting in fear for what of battle the Monday might bring upon us, our dear brother Oliver P. Emerson was doing us good service in Washington. He told the statesmen of the Capital, from the pulpit of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, how intimately the political issue in Hawaii then agitating the United States, was connected with the struggle of heathenism, revived by the Monarch}', to overthrow the Christianity of the native people. Mr. Kmerson's large experience as Corns ponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board had qualified him beyond anyother person to give accurate testimony upon this topic. It is a matter of congratulation that he was enabled to do so at such a time. Mr. Kmerson has since then contributed his testimony on the Hawaiian question to the Sub-Committee of Foreign Affairs of the U. S. Senate, before whom the fraudulent character of Mr. Blount's report is being thoroughly exposed by Prof. W. D. Alexander and many other reliable witnesses. We give Mr. Kmerson's discourse on another page. January 17th was observed with great as the first Anniversary of Abrogation of Monarchy in Hawaii, ■usiasm RESOLUTIONS. Resolved, That upon examination of the documents submitted by the Pastor and the Committee of the Central Union Church, the Council herewith certifies its approval of the actions recorded in regard to terminating the pastoral relation of Rev. K. G. Beckwith, D. D., as being in due form and order; and in accordance with the purport of the Letters Missive, does hereby declare Rev. K. G. Beckwith, 1). D., duly dismissed from the pastorate ofsaid Church, said dismissal to take effect, pursuant to the terms of the letter of resignation, at the close of the public services of worship on the coming Sabbath, January 14th, 1694. Resolved, That in coming to this decision, the Council puts upon record the regret which we all feel that this official relationship should so soon terminate, while at the same time we recognize and accept as a finality, the statement of facts, reasons, and considerations that have in the Providence of God, brought about this action at this time. Resolved, That in taking this action, we express alsoourpersonal sympathy lor the brother, whose presence and fellowship have always afforded us such cheer and comfort, whose judgment we have always found so helpful in circumstances that have made us hesitate and seek counsel in deciding questions of expediency or rightfulness, and whose labors for the people of his charge have been so incessant, so wise, and so acceptable. We congratulate the retiring pastor that he has been blessed with such a happy and successful pastorate for these past six years, consummating with such marked unanimity the union of two churches, and carrying on the work through the completion of such an arduous undertaking as the building, in a new location of a new ami costly house of worship, unencumbered with any indebtedness. We bespeak for our honored and beloved brother in his new relations, the trust and sympathy of those to whom he is now to minister, and abundant blessings for himself and family, as well as for his people, from the Great Head of the Church, our Divine Guardian, Guide and Kriend. ed and warm hearted management of the affairs of this metropolitan Church. It was then voted that after the reading and approval of the minutes, the Council should be dissolved; and that a copy of the minutes, signed by the Moderator and by the Scribe, should be forwarded to the retiring pastor, and to the Clerk of the Church. Dr. Beckwith thanked the Council for their expressions of Christian sympathy, and regretted that he had not been able to speak every one of the languages spoken by members of the Council so as to have had more frequent personal intercourse with the ministers and the Churches, to whom he wished now through the Pastors and Delegates to send his farewell greetings. The minutes were read and approved. Rev. H. 11. Parker led in a closing prayer, and the Moderator declared the Council dissolved. C. M. Hyde, S. E. Bishop, Moderator. Scribe. Honolulu, January 10, 1894. A Purse for Dr. Beckwith. The Retiring Pastor of Central Union Church, had a most affectionate Farewell Reception in the parlors of the church, on Monday, January 15th. A purse of $ 800, was presented to Dr. Beckwith as a mark of affectionate regard. The pastor's Farewell discourse was preached on the evening of Sunday the 14th. On the 16th Dr. and Mrs. Beckwith sailed lor Maui, where they were soon delightfully settled in their new home at Paia. where many days of happy usefulness are hoped for as in store for their later years. The total available cash balance in the Hawaiian Treasury on the 25th ult. had risen to $307,500.23. This large excess is due to the taxes which are now mostly collected for the year. Much is also due to the improvement of the government credit since the threatening attitude of the United States Minister came to an end. Since then some $30,000 have beeu received from excess of deposits in the Postal Savings Bank, and $15,000 from sales of Bonds. �10 THE FRIEND. Rev. O. P. Emerson at Washington A CHRISTIAN NATION. He Talks on Hawaii, A Heathenizing Monarchy. I Krurii rlir WmMmgUlk l-r.tnitlf; Slur of I 1,. rnil.i-i l-»lli.| Rev. (). P. Emerson, who has had much experience as a missionary in the Hawaiian Islands, delivered a very interesting address at the Metropolitan Pres byterian Church last evening, in which he presented some new facts in regard to the efforts made to Christianize the inhabitants of those islands and bow these endeavors were received by the Kalakauan dynasty. He drew a parallel between the experiences of the Hebrews weeping and praying by the rivers of Babylon for their subjugated country and of the Hawaiian people, and said Hawaiian (Christianity, during the continuance, at least, of the Kalakauan dynasty, has been hanging its harp upon the willows, for all this while it has been in the presence of most depressing and harmful, corrupt, idolatrous influence!. But now that this kingdom has, in the kind providence of God, been taken away we believe that the native Hawaiian churches will be able to do a work which the influence of a corrupt heathen court has, for the last twenty years, prevented them from doing. : A CHAPTER NEVER YET WRITTEN. There is a chapter in the history o' Hawaiian ('hristianity which the church- es of this land know little about. Indeed, it has hardly yet been written. But the time has come when it shall be written, and I believe it to be my duty to give you a certain acquaintance with it, for it accounts, in large measure, for the present situation of things out there, and it reveals the possibilities for good which may be hoped for by the Hawaiian churches as coming out of the late revo lotion. Many influences have operated to corrupt the Hawaiian Christianity and to weaken the power of the churches which the missionary fathers established, but I here submit that no one influence in all the land has been so baleful as the Kalakauan dynasty. No twenty years in all the history of those churches have been more sad and hopeless than the twenty years that have just passed, and which are now signalized by the over throw of that power. Permit me here to recountsome of the deeds of that dynast)', and let me say that what I bring to the charge of the late King Kalakaua I also bring to the charge of his sister, the late (jueen Liliuokalani; for though at first she carried into her reign a semblance of decency, at last, unfortunately for herself, she threw off this semblance and appeared in her real character. In recounting some of the evil influences exerted by these two reigns, permit me to mention first the encouragement which was given to idolatry, the appeal which was made to the old heathen and superstitious spirit which was still in the land. After the coming of the missionary fathers, and during the reign of the Kamehamehas, the determined assault which had been made upon heathenism had broken its power. The nation be came a really Christian nation. The generation was converted to the truth. Up to IXO3 more than 77,000 converts had been gathered into the churches. Then it was, during a visit ol Dr. Ander son, then foreign secretary of the A. B. C. K. M., that the policy Waa adopted of putting the churches under the charge of native pastors. The missionary fathers had done their work. They had reduced an unwritten language to writing; the-)' had translated the Bible and the hymn book, the spelling book and thearithmetic, and created a secular and religious literature, and founded the schools, the churches and the homelife where this was taught and enjoyed. In short, the)' had established in the hand a Christian civilization, and converted an entire people, and now, as the fathers dropped away to their rest. the policy of maintaining a foreign missionary pastorate was to give way to that of an independent Hawaiian pastorate. The outlook was hopeful; the wisdom of the fathers approved the change Before long twenty large parishes were divided into nearly three times the num her, and as fast as the native preachers could be trained they were put in charge of these parishes. FTIARHSETCKC ON HRISTIANITY. The first marked attack on the Hawaiian Christianity was made in IBflB, when King Lot Kamehameha began to issue licenses to Hawaiian kahunas or sorcerers. These licenses permitted these men to practice the healing art as they knew it. Their power was the power of the fetish worshipper; of the sorcerer and practise! of the black arts that appealed to the superstitious fears ol the people. Their use of drugs and herbs, where these were used, was supported by heathen incantations and prayers to the ancient gods. The) leveled these incantations and prayers against their enemies. They claimed to be able to pray people to death, and where prayers did not avail the)' would sometimes use poison. Thus they came to be a power in the bind that was feared. This power stood for the revival of superstition, and became it menace to the development of the Christian life. Bach village had its kahuna or sorcerer, who Was greatly feared. He was against the light, against the missionary influence, against the white man and the white government doctors. He professed to be able to heal the sick because he could pray people to death. Every native pastor had his antagonist in a native kahuna. Over against the church the kahuna set up his idolatrous shrine. Thus there has grown up a heathen part)- hating the [February, 1894. whites; a party that divides each parish in the land, and even invades the church, and in some cases the parsonage. I have heard Hawaiian pastors again and again tell in pathetic tones how these heathen influences have stolen away from them their people. INCREASE OFHEATHENINFLUENCES. I have heard them confess how the Kahunas have gained an influence in their own homes. How certain remedies have been recommended to them for some sick child of the house, and how, before they knew it, they would be in the hands of the Kahuna. I could tell instance after instance of this. 1 could tell how Hawaiian pastors have had their superstitious fears so worked on as to become themselves keepers of fetiches. I have heard them confess to this and relate the story of their final deliverance. I could go over the list of the Hawaiian ministry and give the names of probably nearly every man who now has fetiches in bis 01 ho. wife's possession, and who is thus more or less under the influence of the Kahuna or sorcerer of his parish. If I cannot name every man in the native ministry who is thus under the heathen influence I can name those who have come out of it to my personal knowledge, or those who were never afflicted by it. One of the great fights we are now making out here is against this heathen tendency, and the great and hopeful fact is this, that the Hawaiian pastors are waking op to the need of this light and are taking decided part in it ; and now that there is no longer a Hawaiian court to stand out against them in it, there is great hope that they will begin to make short work of the light. This, then, is the point I make against the late dynasty against Kalakaua and against CJueen Liliuokalani that while they ruled they gave countenance to this heathen party ; that they made a bid for its influence ; that they won it to their support; that they greatly enlarged it; that they intrenched it yet more strongly in the land, and use it to achieve their wicked ends. — KALAKAUA MADE THE PAGAN PARTY. It may be said that Kalakaua made the part)'. When he came to the throne he gathered the scattered forces of heathenism together and proclaimed himself their high priest, and led them in the onslaughts he made against the Christian civilization which had been so happily founded in Hawaii. He was about as corrupt a king as ever ruled on any throne. His court, like himself, was also corrupt. He himself was given to the practice of the grossest immorality. In his wickedness he fomented the race feeling. He worked through the heathen party to make the Hawaiian! bitter against the white man. He who had been enthroned almost by the white man became the white man's enemy. Though be should have been king for all, he �reigned in the interest of but a portion of his subjects. He tried to paganize the country and heathenize it. He made a deliberate attempt to bring the free church of Hawaii under his power. He worked to debauch its ministry. He set himself up as a student of the ancient heathen cult and founded a society for its revival. With a blasphemous purpose he declared that there was a harmony between the Christ ian and the heathen faith. He declared Jehovah to be but one of the gods to be supplicated. Kalakaua thus did his utmost to corrupt the Hawaiian Christianity. He brought it very low. He gave it a blow which it must be the work of a generation to heal, and my chargeis that Queen Liliuokalani followed at last the path which her brother had so plainly marked out. She gathered about her throne this corrupt heathen element. She allied it with her rule as one of its prominent factors, and when in those last mad days of her reign she sought to gain absolute power, she went through the farce of putting forward this bitter heathen element as the petitioners for the acceptance at her hand of the revolutionary constitution which she hail had her lawyer secretly prepare for her. Thus she gathered about her the worst elements of the land that they might come to her support during those last days of her mad purpose of self-aggran- dizement. RUATMHNTRAFFIC. DEOPIUM Hut again, there were other influences which these guilty Hawaiian rulers let loose on their people to their destruction. There was the ruin and opium traffic No rulers ever so encouraged this nefarious traffic as did the)*. Kalakaua legalized the sale of liquor among bis people, and sold two opium franchises at $70,(1(1(1 apiece, and (jueen Liliuokalani signed the distillery and opium bills. Kalakaua smuggled rum into his kingdom and set up saloons in interest of his own pocket; and Liliuokalani joined the opium ring and kept in power and near est to her on her throne men who were engaged in this lawless and wicked traffic. 11 THE FRIEND. Vol. 52, No. 2. | In the help they gave to the rum and the opium traffic, in the commercial gain they sought out of it for their piivate purses, King Kalakaua and Cjueen Liliuokalani are to be justly charged with a deliberate attempt to destroy the lives of their people. The speedy extinction which threatens that people may be traced largely to the use of these poisons. Liquor was the first potent poison to be plied, and then opium was added to it. Not only were the laws made such that liquor could be easily obtainable, but such men were kept in office that opium might come in also, for the trade was profitable to the royal purse, and on election days it was customary to furnish liquor to all who voted the royal ticket. Whisky helped the royalist fight his battle at the polls, and whisk)' was but a part of the bribe with which these rulers carried the day. If this traffic in rum and opium were to be countenanced, encouraged and continued for another twenty years, as it has been for the twenty years just past, the native Hawaiian would cease to be an element of importance in the land, for he would be mostly killed off. WHA'I WDIT I) FOLLOW A MONARCHY. Let this wicked rule which was represented by Kalakaua and his sister, con tinue to hold the ground for but half the time it has ahead)' held it, anil the native Hawaiian Christianity would be all but dead, for then the generation nowcoming up for its reinforcement would be so irreti'ievah y alienated from the truth and so corrupted as to be hardly convertible. Kvt-n now the pastors in the field are crying out that the hearts of the people have been so embittered and alienated as to make it all but im possible to reach them. This is what rum and opium and heathenism have done under xupport from the throne. This is what briber)' and part)' strife and the fomenting of race feeling have clone under the lead of the throne. The Corrupt pagan and heathen influence of the courts of Kalakaua and of Liliuokalani have reached so deeply into the life of that people that its recover)' must be slow. Not only has there been a deliberate attempt to corrupt the church, there has also been a deliberate and often achieved attempt to corrupt the state. The entire civil and social life of the people has felt the hurt of this ungodly, wicked court, anil if there is anything the Hawaiian people should thank God for, it is for its final, utter overthrow. The good native Christians out there will never again want to go back to that hateful idolatry. NO KING OR QUEEN CAN EVER AGAIN REIGN. No king or queen will ever again be able to beguile them into it. They have come by their sad experience to be above the corruption of a pagan court. Verily, I believe that the best of them will never cry to God again for a king or for a queen, for they have been fairly weaned from such rule. Nor will they be ontent with anything that is like!) to stand as a menace to their earnest purpose after a purer Christian life. But though that Hawaiian Christianity has been divorced, as we may believe, from any further liking for pagan and heathen ways; though there as in Israel so long ago the I loly One has been exalted, look at the pathos of the situation. They are not through with the fight. They are building up that outpost of civilization and holding it, as that Hebrew city was held and built of old. with the spade in one hand and the sword in the other. Will America look on, as did l'.dom in that day, only with a purpose to stop the work? That ancient Hebrew picture of brave men lighting lor God and for humanity against a wily enemy has appealed to the heart ofthe Christian world, and I believe in like manner the result Ofthat brave light now going on 111 Hawaii will appeal to your Christian < heart.

During the Black Week following the arrival of the Corwin, Mr. Willis had his second important interview with the ex-queen. Mr. J. Q. Carter had been laboring with her to abate her vengelulness, and concede the full amnesty which President Cleveland required her to promise as the condition ol her restoration. He was so far successful that on the 16th of December, 1893, in the presence of Mr. Willis and Mr. Carter, she expressed her willingness to permit her enemies to live, but insisted that they and their childien should be permanently banished, and their property confiscated. Otherwise there would never be any security for her and her subjects. Two days later, Mr. Carter prevailed on her to concede full amnesty, and Mr. Willis immediately demanded of the government to restore the bloodthirsty queen. The above is from Mr. Willis' own Mr. D. Howard Hitchcock has done superior work since his return from his three years study in Pans. A painting of Haleina'unia'u crater as seen in December, must certainly be conceded to he by far the best picture of our volcano which has ever been made. It has gone on the Hawaiian exhibit at the Midwinter Fair. Mr. Hitchcock has shown a high degree of talent in con quiring the difficulty of representing a daylight scene of the lava lake, and yet retaining the impressiveneas ol the out lb.wing fires. The tone of the coloring is quite different from any we have be fore seen, and seems truer to the reality. There is the best reason to believe that we are now to have a series ol pictures of Hawaiian scenery of a much higher order than have yet been produced. Our young painter seems really to have found his true calling. official statements. The editor of Tin pRIEND desires to make his record good with Mr. Then. 11. Davits.

Davies and S. E. Bishop. of January Rth, Mr. being misrepreDavies complains sented in Tin- pRif.ND for January, by Rev. S. E. Bishop's letter to The Independent, reprinted therein, in saying Daily Bulletin that Mr. Davies "charges that the Pro visional Government of Hawaii are tendering to the honorable American people a stolen kingdom, and trying to make them receivers of stolen goods. I Itaccuses his old friends, the missionaries' sons, of being the chief participants in this treason." Mr. Davies says "then again I did not •accuse my old friends, the mission aries' sons, of being the chief paitici pants in this treason.' I quoted the New York Times, which said, 'the kingdom was stolen. I never knew, or said 1 knew, who stole it, though I have my suspicions." 13 FRIEND. Mr. Bishop's representation in The I tidependent of the position taken byMr. Davies, was based upon his own language in his "Open Letter upon the Hawaiian Crisis," dated August 26th, 1893. Therein, after quoting from the N. Y. Times that "the Provisional Government is in the attitude of offering to dispose of stolen goods "--"it is a proposition to convey and make over to the United States a stolen kingdom." Mr. Davies goes on to enforce the truth of that charge, and adds, that "everyone knows that the movement has had the active sympathies of the bulk of the representatives of the honored missionary families; and with one exception, I do not know of a single protest that has been published in their name." Mr. Davies then goes on to devote one third of his letter to strong repre- hension of the report of the Evangelical Association in which, as he correctly intimates, the sons of missionaries take the lead. He does this on account of the Report's supporting the revolution. The foregoing is a dispassionate statement ol what Mr. Davies said in his Without comment, "Open Letter." our readers are asked to judge whether, as he complains, Mr. Bishop's statement of his accusation against the sons of missionaries was an incorrect one.

C. M. Hyde, D.D. - Editor. An Urgent Appeal. From the accompanying statement of Mr. VV. W. Hall, the treasurer of the Hawaiian Board, it is evident that the work of the Board has not been curtailed because of the political uncertainties of the country. Nor have generous friends and supporters of the Board failed to give liberally to defray the large expenditures ofits constantly increasing work. J. T. Waterhouse, Sr., has for two years given $ 150 monthly; and this form of giving has been of special advantage in carry ing on the operations of the Board. Rev. E. Bond, C. M. Cooke, Esq., Mrs. M. S. Rice, Mrs. J. M. Cooke have been large givers, enabling the Treasurer to meet the large amounts coming due at the beginning of the year. But the Foreign Works calls for an outlay of $3,000: North Pacific Mission ary Institute, $1,000: Cjueen Emma Hall, $1,200; Kohala Seminary, $1,000: other Hawaiian Work $1,800: Chinese Mission, $5,400; Portuguese, $3,600: |apanese, $3,000: Publications, $500: Gene ral Expenses, $2,500: a total of $24,000 as the very lowest calculation of proba ble expenses: or $28,000, if there is to be no retrenchment of absolutely necessary expenses, involving to that extent aban donment of some lines of most important Christian Work. The Hawaiian Board is only the agent and almoner of the Christian people of these islands, and of all who contribute to its treasury, or give to its permanent funds. It stands ready to do whatever is practicable, urgent and feasible, with the resources and workers at its disposal. It has tried and true friends who have never failed to come to its help in any time of special need. But it would welcome help from the many men of means and of benevolence outside of its present constituency. It needs and asks the generous support of all who love their fellows, all who pray for the establishment and progress of Christ's king dom, all who will cordially cooperate in the good work it is doing, which needs now, more than ever, not only the large gifts of those who have ample means, but also a larger number of gifts from more people of smaller means. Let the need prompt you to give, and with your gifts let there be earnest prayer that God will bestow a special blessing upon those who administer your bounty as well as those who are the recipients of it. 15 THE FRIEND.

THE FRIEND. 16 Work Among the Portuguese. Rev. A. Y. Soares reports 162regular church services held during the year. Many meetings have been held in the homes of the church members. Occasional meetings have also been attended at the homes of persons, at first opposed, but now friendly. Out of their poverty the people have contributed for benevolent and church work, $101.90. The arrival of a Roman Catholic priest who could speak Portuguese, created a little stir at first, but there has been apparently no change in the condition of affairs in consequence of his coming. Dr. N. B. Emerson is Sabbath School Superintendent, and the school continues to prosper. Mrs. A. F. Cooke has gathered books enough to make a promising beginning of a Sabbath School Library. The day school now enrolls over 10(1 scholars. The evening school is still maintained. There has been organized also a Missionary Society which, in time, will concentrate and deepen the missionary spirit of the chinch members and others. Is to be completed by the Ist of August.

I hope that there will be enough friends to see that the work continues: unless some one makes sacrifices for it it cannot go on. A work that requires no sacrifices does not count for much in fulfilling God's plan. But what is com monly called sacrifices is really the best natural use of one's self and one's resources -the best investment of one's He who time, strength and means. makes no such sacrifices is most to be pitied ; he is a heathen, because he knows nothing of God. In the school the great thing is to pull together, to refrain from hasty, unwise words and action to unselfishly and only seek the best good of all ; to get rid of workers whose temperaments are unfortunate, whose heads are not level, no matter how much learning or culture they may have cantaiikcniiisncss is worse than heterodoxy.

[From the N. Y. Independent. I January, loy4. For presumably good reasons this large and reputable body of white natives and old residents of Hawaii are practically unanimous for the overthrow of the monarchy and for annexation to the United States. In accord with them are the great majority of the right-living and intelligent class of native Hawaiians. Mr. Davies, very creditably to himself, savs of them: "I hope no one will think that I underrate 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 in,ins of the men whose action I feel bound to criticise so severely have been impelled as they thought by high principles and self-sacrificing motives." Now as to the charge of tendering a "stolen kingdom," the only right that Liliuokalani or Kaiulani can claim in the matter is that the welfare of the kingdom calls for their rule. It cannot be stolen from them. They may have some claim for support, as being put out of place. No one will refuse them such support whenever they are ready to make terms for it. The only rational form of the charge is that the sovereignty of Hawaii is tendered to the United States without the consent of the aboriginal population of Hawaii to whom that sovereignty belongs. This assumes that such sovereignty inheres in them inalienably and interminably, so long as any of them remain in Hawaii to exercise it, no matter how greatly the rest of the popu lation may exceed in numbers, wealth, capacity, intelligence and actual control of affairs. This is a novel doctrine, and needs only to be stated to be its own confutation. The actual fact is that through their own ill-regulated living, fostered by the vices of the Royal Court, the Hawaiian people have decreased, while foreign races have increased, until the former constitute barely one-third of the population of the country. At the same time they are notoriously incapable of managing public affairs, as they are generally incapable of conducting any business of importance. They are unable to rule. All the ruling has actually been guided by foreigners for the past fifty years. If the fallen Queen and her nativeadherents had been willing to follow such guidance in a reasonable manner, the farce of native monarchy might have been kept up a short time longer. In the nat,ure of the case it could have endured but a very little while, from the fact that the country had entered upon a new stage when three diverse and discordant foreign races in large numbers—people of vastly greater force than the Hawaiians, but unqualified for political action— were occupying the country, and must be effectively governed. For this work the native monarchy was out of the question. The Portuguese, the Chinese, the Japanese, could not so be provided for. The rule must necessarily be �assumed by the capable and dominating English-speaking race, who held in their hands nine tenths of the commerce and the productive enterprise of the country. There was no alternative. The situation was critical. The natural and qualified rulers of the land were compelled to seize entire hold of the reins of power, which they had virtually controlled for fifty years. To talk of this being the "stealing of a kingdom," is childish, if not malicions. The rule by native monarchy had lapsed from decay and incapacity. To attempt to perpetuate it is no friendship or kindness to the natives. The children of the missionaries are their firm, true and considerate friends, and will, as they have always done, seek the best and highest interests of the native people. In the present perplexities and difficulties in settling the future government of the Islands, they will use what ever influence they possess tosecure to the Hawaiian people all the political privileges that they are capable of use fully exercising. If annexed as a Territory of the United States, it was believed that an honorable share might be given to them under Territorial control. If, however, the Islands are to maintain their own government under some form of American protection, it is very uncertain how far the exigencies demanding strong government will leave the way open for anything like popular suffrage. Annexation was sought in hope of thereby maintaining broader Republican forms and more enlarged suffrage, exactly the opposite of seeking to diminish the political franchises of the people. Unless enjoying the grand prestige of American constitutional control, the task of adjusting a working form of government for these different races will be a delicate and difficult one. It is fortunate for the nation that it contains such a powerful nucleus of intelligence, capacity and integrity in its English-speaking body of citizens, and especially in its missionary element. It is maintained by the Royalists that President Cleveland's new Minister, Albert S. Willis, is about to arrive in Honolulu for the purpose of enforcing upon the Provisional Government Mr. Cleveland's intention that they shall make way for the restoration of the fallen Queen. Various things are tending to create also in the minds of others an apprehension that Mr. Willis may be commissioned, not to enforce but to strongly urge such a policy upon the Government. Mr. Theo. H. Davies, who specially represents Canadian interests as well as Kaiulani, is expected to come with Mr. Cleveland'srepresentative and labor in the same direction. It is seemingly incredible that a President of the United States should thus lend himself to promote British commercial and political interests against those of his own country ; or that he should strive to reestablish a throne that has fallen THE FRIEND. 3 Vol. 52, No. I.] have been connected with the mission.

We are glad to chronicle this fact. It is well for this mother church to set such an example. The Hawaiians are a generous people and in support of their own people ought not to lag behind in the generous rivalry with other nationalities in the support of their own religious and charitable institution. The musical society connected with the Kawaiahao Church, of which Mrs. HaaISlea is President, have also raised, if we have been correctly informed, three hundred dollars towards the five hundred needed to furnish electric lighting for the church. The concert given Thursday evening by the Misses Albu added quite a sum to the remaining amount needed. A Week of Deadly Fear. For the use of our many subscribers abroad, we endeavor to state dispassionately the events of our time of trouble. As given in December Friend, Minister Willis was awaiting instructions from Washington in reply to his dispatches of November 16th. We were sustained by a strong assurance that Congress meeting December lth, would actively intervene in our behalf, and avert the imminent peril of attempting to restore the queen by the U. S. naval forces, which our people were prepared to resist to the last extremity. On December 14th the Corwin unexpectedly arrived with instructions to Minister Willis. The warships Philadelphia and Adams were immediately prepared for landing forces. Mr. Willis at once began active negotiations with LiliiKik.il,mi. The British and |apanese warships asked and received permission to land the r marines to protect their legations during the expected conflict. The public fears culminated on Monday the 18th, when everything indicated an immediate crisis. Several leading men called on Mr. Willis, asking for some word to allay the public tension of fear, but in vain. The one word needed, that he would not use force, he did not utter. The then secret history, now revealed, is this. The Minister had reported to Washington that Liliuokalani persisted in refusing to grant amnesty and other advantages to the Provisional Government and their supporters. The President hurried off the Corwin before Congress could intervene, instructing the Minister to persist in the demand and settle affairs at once, but not to employ force. Whether he had previously been authorized to use force is not clear. Our government still believe that he was thus authorized, although Ministei Thurston (eels sure that he was not. Mr. Willis at once told Liliunkalani that she must make the required concessions in the direction of humanity, or the President would cease his efforts in her behalf. She persisted in refusal, and the Corwin prepared to sail on the night of the lKth, to report her refusal. The ex-queen then yielded. President Dole had that day demanded of the American Minister the meaning of his negotiating with her, while accredited to this Government. He replied by securing a formal interview on the 19th, at which he demanded that the Provisional Government should retire from power and restore the Queen. To this demand President Dole prepared an extended reply, declining to consider Mr. Willis' proposition. This was delivered on the night of the '23d, and the Corwin sailed with it in the early [January, 1894. when the Alameda came bringing Minis- ter Thurston and the welcome news of powerful demonstrations in Congress in our favor, making it certain that the American Minister must postpone the use of force. It is due here to say that it was well understood that their threatened task was well known to be utterly distasteful to our friends of the U. S. Navy, and that none were mote truly relieved than they by the Alameda's news. Honolulu had after all a Merry Christmas following its week of deadly fears. On the 2'Jth, the Arawa brought the President's message revealing the astonishing fact of the ex -queen's refusal to grant amnesty, as being the only cause of delay in Willis' demand. On the 30th the Australia brought the President's statement about his instructions to Minister Willis, proving that during our week of fear, he actually had no power to enforce his demands, and was using merciless but hollow menace to terrify- the Government into compliance. Our consolation is that he thereby gave us the opportunity to prove our manhood by refusing. We leave this very strange history without present comment or characterization. We hope that all our readers will give careful study to the reply of President Dole, which tells the full and clear truth. Of Minister Willis, it may be supposed that he was executing his duty according to his instructions, in circumstances of great perplexity. The whole Hawaiian affair is now in the hands of Congress, and a favorable result is certain. Micronesian Mission. nil. GILBERT islands. A brief letter from Mr. Walkup, who was at Butaritari with the Hiram liuigham on the fourteenth of August, re ports that he has made his trip to Ocean and Pleasant Islands and also to Kusaie and back. While he was gone to these western islands a British man-of-war passed through the Gilbert group, having on board the governor-general of Fiji. Mr. Walkup speaks warmly of the impression left by that visit, believing that the coming of the governor has helped in setting up a standard for righteousness. We judge that the German Commissioner has granted the Bingham permission to call at Ocean and Pleasant Islands without clearing from Jaluij, according to previous requirements, but he still desired that the teachers should be removed from those islands, since they taught the Bible in the native tongue. When Mr. Walkup visited those islands there was no German official upon them, and the natives as well as the traders protested against an attempt to take away their teachers. morning.

Of the thirtyseven church members who are in good standing at the beginning of the year, all have held fast except three. All the meetings, both morning and evening, Wednesday afternoon, and on the Sabbath, are well attended. The contribu tions ate larger than last year. The Sabbath school has increased in numbers and the attendance is much more regular. Ninety six names ate enrolled, with an average attendance of inoie than eighty. We had fifteen weeks of school, with an average attendance above fifty; eleven of these students were in the training class, two are preparing for service as preachers or teachers, and they will be ready at the end of the year to go to sonic other isl and if not needed at home. The health of all on the island has been fairly good." Of Ponape Mr. Rand writes ; "The Starlet go anchor in Port San tiago before noon, Sabbath the seven teenth of July. The new governor, who came in May, was called back to Manila by the June steamer, and he expects to return in August. Captain Flanders, who was governor pro tern, when I was here last year, is holding the same position in the governor's absence, The Star was not allowed to go around to Kiti to get the launch and other things. Governor Flanders was very kind, but said he could permit me to have intercourse with the natives only in their harbor. A great many natives came aboard the Star. From Henry Nanpei and others we hear that King Pol and the other Christians of the Metalenim tribe are holding on to their Christian faith. The Ova, Japalap, and Tuman churches are keeping up their meetings and Sabbath schools and are beginning their schools. King Pol is a wonder to his people and the people of the whole island.

Christmas Gifts, and Christmas Merry Making. At this season of the year, kindly in terest in others has its appropriate mani- festation in special gifts of friendship or Notwithstanding all the sympathy. disquiet of the time politically, and the dubious financial outlook, it has been pleasant to notice the carriages speeding, in one direction and another, bearing the parcels that testify of the good will of the donors blossoming out into kindly deeds. Hut how many of such manifestations of Charity, sweet and beautiful, never come to any public knowledge. Nature is lavish in these tropical climes, if not prodigal, in her gifts, and the liberality of the people is in keeping with their surroundings. First in time, as well as in magnitude, of the various Christmas entertainments was that of the Sunday School of the Central Union Church. So many hundreds of children with their parents or friends gathered on the Friday evening before Christmas, that it seems as if the new church was ahead}- showing that it cannot accommodate all who would make it their Church home. The exercises were briefer than formerly. Sunday morning was given up to more elaborate services, recitations and singing, and a very interesting Sunday School Concert exercise. Sunday evening there was a Praise Service, with some fine singing from members of the choir and others. Dr. Beckwith's sermon, on the honor conferred on Childhood by the incarnation of the Lord Jesus, was a very striking presentation of exreedingly appropriate truths. Whoever may succeed Dr. Beckwith in the pulpit of the Central Union Church will find it no easy matter to bring to the people, Sunday after Sunday, such clear, pertinent, inspiring messages as have been given so continuously during the six years of Dr. Beckwith's ministry. Saturday evening a large concourse spectators more than filled the hinese Church to witness the exercises the Chinese Schools. We have be>me accustomed to expect each year >me marked improvement on the enrtainments of previous years. Every one of the many visitors was surprised delighted both at the increase in umbers of the scholars, and the !

The children of the Kindergarten attracted the most attention and the loudest applause. The annex with its fine organ well played by a young Chinaman, was seen to fine advantage this year, as compared with its unfinished condition a twelvemonth ago. If enthusiasm and effort can accomplish what even Christian faith hardly dares hope to see accomplished, we are sure that Mr. Damon will attempt it. The Portuguese Mission had its Christmas entertainment the same even ing. The present accommodations in the Chapel are insufficient for the accommodation of the large congregation that now gathers within its walls. Friends of this Mission have begun noon too soon the effort to add, to the promises now occupied, a parsonage for Mr. Soares' family. Then the building they now occupy may be utilized for the school that now meets in the rear The greatest in room of the Chapel. terest was shown in the performances of the small children of the Kindergarten. There are now so many of these tree Kindergartens for the various nationalities, that a public exhibition of all of them in the Music Hall would surely awaken increased general interest in this work, and bring in additional funds for its successful prosecution. Monday evening, Christmas night, the Japanese Church, of which Rev. Jiro Okabe is tht pastor, gave an entertainment in Cjueen Kmma Hall. The room was altogether too small for the crowd that assembled. Here as at the Portuguese Chapel and the Chinese Church, a Christmas tree with its brightly burning candles, and brilliant ornaments of tinsel stood ready to yield an abundant supply of gifts for the little folks. For the Japanese Kindergarten, youngest of all, showed what proficiency a few months of training under Froebel's system can do the tiniest specimens of infant humanity. There was not, however, anything for the older children, or from them. We may expect by another year something praise-worthy from the young men connected with the Sunday School, or the classes now increasing so rapidly in the night schools held in Queen Emma Hall. to the classes, whether The American Board has recently published a new edition of President Bartlett's Historical sketch of the Sandwich Islands Mission, to which Dr. Hyde has added a supplement, giving an outline history of the progress of Chrsitian work at the Islands for the last thirty years, 1863 1893. The record is a most creditable one, considering the many claims upon the time, sympathy, and purses of our Christian people. The wonder is that so much has been attempt- Ed and achieved. To find fault with the workers here for what they have not done is to ignore the facts of history, as the progress of events at the islands has closed up certain lines of effort and opened up others, has revealed more clearly weaknesses of humanity that are not to be removed in the time of one or two generations, and developed new difficulties and obstacles to be met and overcome by christian patience, faithfulness, and hopefulness. The A. H. C. P. If. Almanac for 1K94 has a "process" picture of VV'ailuku, Maui, and ola street in Apaian, one of the Gilbert Island group. The last is reproduced from a photograph taken by the engineer of the Morning Star on the last voyage of that vessel. Others ol these Micrnnesian photographs will soon be reproduced in other publications of the American Hoard. They are the best ever published, illustrating scenes and incidents in connection with the Micronesian Mission. Latest From Ponape. From Ponape under date of Oct. lf>, we learn that all is peace and quietness under the new governor. He is doing all he can to firing about a peaceful settlement with a Metalenini tribe. They are pursuing the even tenor of their way with no more interference from the Spanards. A new church building was dedicated in September. About 300 people assembled to participate in the exercises. There are two day schools maintained by the people as well as the Sunday School and regular Sabbath services. Put they are in great need of books, slates, and other school appliances. A new church building and a school house are soon to be put up on the island of Mantes. It would seem as if, under the present Governor at least, it would be possible to resume the work of the American Mission. He does not seem to have any special antipathy with what is useful, practicable, beneficial. He may be called a strict prohibitionist, and is ready as soon as the opportune moment comes, to forbid all importation and sale of alWith such encoholic beverages. couraging news as this, God's people ought to be encouraged to persistant prayer and renewed effort for the up building on Ponape of God's kingdom of truth and righteousness and love. While on this theme, that Christmas tide makes so fruitful of suggestions, has any one given any attention to the solution of the problems that will soon be thrust upon us, what to do for the unemployed ? What to do with the poor and thriftless ? We have no pauper laws. Pruperism, as it exists now in Christendom, is unknown here. Private charity has hitherto managed to care for �the unfortunates who have been compelled by stress of circumstance to depend upon others' help. But it is very evident that in the near future some public provision will have to be made for the dependent and defective classes. The sick have the hospitals; the insane have the lunatic asylum; the aged mdi gent Hawaiian has the Lunalilo Home. But what is being done in the way of public provision, or organized effort for those who have been laggards in the race of life, and without positive criminality, by extravagance it may be, or by poor judgment it may be, or by culpable indolence it may be, are at the end of the rope, liable to be snapped off and trodden down by force of circumstances and their own inertia ? The Strangers' Friend Society has done and is doing a noble work, for which it deserves a meed of praise as yet unspoken. Benevolent Unions among the various nationalities are doing something to relieve the wants But of their respective countrymen. above and beyond all these should be some public organized charity association better than direct governmental relief, that shall minister comfort, cheer, and help to the poor that we have always with us, whose poverty is likely to be more pinching than ever, even to the loss of life as well as health, of manhood as well as possessions. The many appeals of late, to one benevolent person and another, to take charge of orphan children, left without suitable guardianship, indicate a line ol charitable effort that will undoubtedly in the Providence of God, find some one prepared to lay the foundations of an Orphan Asylum, and provide for its maintenance. Whenever there is a need, there is a supply provided. The difficult thing to do is to brint; together the two elements in the wonderful synthesis that christian charity is constantly effecting, more wonderful even than the inventions and discoveries of modern science in utilizing the forces of nature, lying all around us, ready for the touch of the modern magician's wand. Another provision for public needs to which Dr. Beckwith alluded in his Christmas sermon, is a play ground for the children. The large yard around Queen Emma Hall has been used by the children, but it is not large enough for the numbers that would gladly come to a pleasant recreation ground. Who will see to it that our children, who here need no "Fresh Air Eund" for their comfort, may soon have a place for their plays and frolics, well equipped with the needful accessories, and under kindly and tactful supervision?

Dr. Pease, in a letter from Kusaie, the last date of which is July i, reports that the German Commissioner at Jaluij is still continuing the repressive hums vies which have hitherto been reported. He says: "Jeremaia writes that the Commissioner has taken the money contributed to the Boaid by the m January, and threatens-to take that which may be contributed in [uly also. (We can take but two collections in a year) The reason assigned is that I did not consult with his predecessor in regard to locating teachers in the new islands, Aur, Mtjij, and Kwojelin. Of course I did not. It had never occurred to me that this was the thing to do No com missioner has ever asked me about any part of Our Work Ol intimated that he desired Or expected to be consulted in regard to it. The pretext is evidently trumped up for the occasion; probably will also have to do duty in reports to the imperial government. It is now obvious that had I conferred with him I should have been forbidden to occupy those new islands. It is again reported that the Kommissar will very soon remove our teachers from I'jae, Namo, and Kwojelin. I inferred that a vessel had ahead}' sailed for this purpose, but the teachers had not come when Jere maia wrote.' At a later date Dr. Pease writes: '•The Commisstonei has removed the teacher from Ujae. The one on Kwo jelin the chief refused to part with. The remarkable story of this Christian work at Kwojelin was given in the Missionary Herald for July, page 278." On account of the attitude of the German authorities Dr. Pease regards the out look for the Marshall Islands work as very depressing. The work itself was never more prosperous, but under these restrictions placed on the preaching of the gospel little progress can be expected. natives Incorporated ISBB.
