Good Work by Mr. Yatman.
The beloved evangelist has wrought
four weeks in Honolulu, and has departed to fresh fields of labor. He has left
much good fruit behind him. The Lord
of the harvest has greatly blessed our
brother's labors, in delightfully quickening the love and zeal of Christians, and
in causing the hearts of a large number
of youths and older people to respond to
the Divine call, and openly avow their
acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ as
their Savior and Lord.
Brother Peck, pastor of the If. E.
Church in this city, has by request, contributed to these columns a valuable
history of Mr. Yatman's labors here.
For our part, the peculiarities in the
evangelist which most impressed us were
his cheerful geniality, his ardent faith,
and capacity for constant hard work.
Tact and good sense were conspicuous,
with a clear understanding of the Scriptures, and great directness and spiritual
power in teaching divine truth to the
people.
Our Christian workers will have gained
much inspiration, and learned much
practical wisdom in winning and guiding
souls, from the work of the month. A
great and responsible labor is now theirs,
in confirming the many new-born souls

The present writer speaks from a vivid
recollection of ■ period of sixty years
and more in the past, when, often a guest
in the old Mission House still standing,
we children experienced the motherly
and gracious kindness of the mistress of
the house, heavily burdened as she was
with cares and somewhat feeble health.
Mr. Bingham by ability and personal
force, was easily the leading spirit among
his brother missionaries, and had long
secured the entire confidence of the leading native chiefs. But it had been Mrs.
Bingham who had gained the almost
worshipping love of tbe powerful Regent
Raahumanu, whose fierce, imperious
nature had become lamb like before
Christ and His servants. And Eaahumanu's immense authority was a leading
factor in securing at a very early date
the close attention of the people to the
Gospel.
This little book seems to us the choicest among several choice volumes of
personal memoirs snd recollections of
early missionary life in Hawaii. The
writer requests mention that the proceeds ot copies sold in Honolulu are to
be
to the treasury of the Woman's
Hoard, and that the booklet will make
suitable and simple gifts for Christmas.

High School Dedication.
Formal Dedication Exercises were
held at 3 p. m. on November Ist in the
spacious rooms of the new Public High
School. Tbe rooms were crowded to
their utmost capacity with friends and
relatives of the scholars.
After a short address of welcome by
the Principal, Mr. M. Scott, MissGirvin,
a pupil, spoke a graceful welcome to the
visitors. Prof. Alexander the President
of the Board of Education, followed with
an appropriate address. He spoke of
the liberality ofthe trustees of the Bishop
Estate, and that ot the Government, in
furnishing the palatial building and
grounds; and of the fact that for years
high school studies had been successfully
pursued in Fort Street School, so that
this Institution was only the transplanting of a well grown tree. He hoped
that worthy conduct of the pupils would
correspond to their beautiful environment, and that its luxuriousness would
not abate their generous aider in study.

Kawaiahao Church Re-opened.
After thirteen months closure of the
venerable edifice, Kawaiahao Church
was re-opened for the public worship of
God on the morning of Sunday, November 7th. It was a joyful occasion. The
new and beautiful interior greeted the
assembling congregation with its fresh,
ornate and cheerful aspect. A large
audience assembled, fairly filling the
floor and spacious galleries. The organ
rang out its glorious notes under the
skilled hand of Prof. Berger. The pulpit
stage was richly decorated with palms,
ferns and flowers, some of the latter on
two costly stands presented by Mrs. John
Robinson. In the audience were the
students of Kawaiahao and Kamehameha schools. A large number of prominent foreigners were also present.
Participant in the exercises were the
pastor Rev. H. H. Parker, Revs. Waiarfiau of Kaumakapili, Desha of Hilo,
Kapu of Wailuku, O. P. Emerson,
Hiram Bingham, C. M. Hyde D. D. and
Messrs. E. Bailey and P. C. Jones.
The pastor confined himself to announc
ing the parts of theothers and to notices.
Messrs. Kapu and Emerson offered
prayers, the former most impressively.
Messrs. Bailey and Bingham gave interesting reminiscences of early days.
Father Bailey is the last survivor of the
missionary men who saw the old Stone
Church built.
Three infants were baptized by Mr.
Desha, one of them a niece. Mr. Desha
preached a vigorous sermon from Haggai 2:9. "The latter glory of this house
shall be greater than the former."
Early in the services, the treasurer of
the repair Committee, Mr. P. C. Jones,
read the report of receipts and expenditures upon the work, as follows:
Total collections for account church
repairs, $11,673.65: total cash, repairs
of church, $11,419.94; leaving a balance
of $253.75 after paying all bills. Electric light collections, $675.15; electric
light expenses, $400; leaving a balance
of $275.15, which added to the building
fund balance of $253.75, makes a total
of $528.90; $"»75.51 was paid for lanai
material. There remains a balance in
hand of $253.39.
It should be stated that of the above
collections, $1000 each was given by
Messrs. C. R. Bishop and Theophilus
H. Davies. Several other munificent
donations were received. The natives
contributed freely according to their
limited ability. Should the lanai, in
which the congregation have worshipped
for over a year, be removed, the sale of
the material will add something to the
balance.
The interior showed additional beauty
from the electric lights in the evening.
There were four
of eight
bulbs each, and forty single lights distributed through the house. The choir
are accommodated in a spacious gallery
behind the pulpit, and in front of the
organ. The ceiling is elegantly recessed
and paneled in redwood and fir. The
galleries are richly panneled in the same.
A great change is made in the galleries
by removing the front third on each side,
and by running a new gallery across the
back.
The church is entirely new except the
walls, the windows and the tower. The
old woodwork was entirely stripped out
from ground to ridge pole. The rafters
and stringers had been completely riddled by the white ants. The soid coral
walls remain. The external aspect is
unchanged, a grand monument of the
Christian zeal and resolve that erected
this great church 55 years ago, in the
days of the old chiefs and in the prime
of missionary activity. Devout thanks
be to God for the Christian love and
kindness of those who have so nobly
come to help and restore this old monument and make it a fitting sanctuary
for the present generation of the Hawaiian people. May it be a place where
the Holy Spirit shall inspire preachers
and people and bring multitudes of souls
into the fellowship of Christ.
Campbellite Church.
Our esteemed brother the Rev. T. D.
Garvin, and his flock, of the "Christian"
(Campbellite Baptist) Church, occupied
on November 17th for the first time their
new church edifice just above the corner
of King and Alakea Streets. They are
to be congratulated on their much improved though still narrow quarters.
It is to be hoped that in due time they
will outgrow these, as well as what
seems to us the extremely narrow sectarianism of these otherwise excellent
Christians.
Judge Henry E. Cooper, has taken
the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs
vacated by Mr. Hatch. Mr. Cooper is
38 years of age. H.e was admitted to
the bar in Boston in 1879. He came to
Honolulu from San Diego in 1890, and
read the Proclamation of the Committee
of Safety, establishing the Provisional
Government, January 17, 1893, an act
demanding much nerve.
New Missionary Yacht.
The new Robert W. Logan, sailed for
Honolulu from San Francisco on the

She is in charge of Capt.
Bray, who will take her as far as Ruk.
We may expect her here any day. The
new schooner is about the same size as
her missing predecessor, and no doubt
in some respects an improvement on the
latter. We may all rejoice with Brother
Price in this great and needed adjunct
to his important work not only in the
Mortlocks but in the islands beyond Ruk.

Mrs. Mary Annis Cooke Turner, the
eminent opera star, who has long sung

up her residence in Honolulu. She was
accorded distinguished honors at Sydney prior to her departure from that
city, where she had chiefly made her
residence for several years.
Kate Field Here.
The distinguished Washington journalist, Miss Kate Field is in Honolulu.
She has come for recuperation of health.
Her errand is partly also to personally
inspect Hawaiian conditions as to their
bearing upon Annexation. Her published statements will be awaited with interest.
A Catholic Version of Hawaiian Affairs.
There has just been received the following excerpt from the Roman Catholic
newspaper organ in San Francisco,
The Monitor, of September Ist, 1894.
Presumably it embodies the representations sent abroad by the Catholic Bishop
and priests of Honolulu as well as their
attitude in respect to affairs in these
Islands.
"There is now some hope for the Hawaiians; the Salvation Army is taking
up their case. The preachers have been
over there for fifty years; the only result
of their labors seems to be the degradation of the native race and their impoverishment. The preachers saw it was
a good land and they absorbed it. They
destroyed the native worship; they did
not replace it by Christianity; they persecuted the Catholic missionaries; it was
only at the cannon's mouth that France
compelled them to grant freedom of
worship. To-day the race is sunk in
immorality and is fast disappearing, but
the preachers and their descendants now
possess the wealth and the government
of the country. Any religion to be
found in the islands is that which the
Catholic missionaries have taught. The
hybrid Protestantism which the preachers have introduced is not far from pure
paganism. The Salvation Army, seeing
this state of things, are sending over a
detachment of their people, and hope to
teach Christianity. Anything they may
do is better than what has been done by
the preachers. If the Salvationists can
introduce morality and religion among
the natives, they will be preparing them
for the full light of Catholicity."

More Political Prisoners released.
With the advice of the Council of
State, the Executive on Thanksgiving
Day, released two white and five native
prisoners. The two white men were
under long sentences, having had lead
ing parts in the insurrection. Mr. Rickard was one of the four chief conspirators. Mr. Walker manufactured the
dynamite bombs. It is understood that
these two were made the object of special
leniency on account of their having
large families which were suffering, as
well as on account of their manifest
regret for their former action.
Two natives were still held, as well as
four white leaders, to whom for various
reasons, the Executive is not yet prepared to extend release. A petition asking for such general release had been
sent to the Executive. It was signed
by a large proportion of the supporters
of the Government. Opposite opinions
on the subject are as follows: That the
stability of the government is so well
established, that no farther danger ot
conspiring to overthrow it is to be apprehended, and that the release of all the
political offenders would be a conciliatory
measure. On the other hand, many feel
that so early a general release would
place the Government in the position
of making light of its own former attitude of severity towards those attempting its overthrow. The Executive evidently intend to be understood as treat
ing the subject very seriously. It cannot be doubted that to the minds of the
President and his colleagues it will be
as great a relief as to us all when the
time arrives when it is wise and proper
to set free the last political prisoner.

THE FRIEND
Vol. 53, No. 12}
-
Editor.
The Robert Logan is about due from
San Francisco. She was reported on
the 9th. of Nov. as ready to leave on the
following day.
Rev. T. S. Uyeda and wife and child,
lately from Japan, went to Hilo by the
last steamer. Mr. Uyeda is to take
charge of the Japanese church there, and
Mr. Kawabe who, since the departure
of the Rev. Sugiyama, has been the
acting pastor, is to enter the new field
of Kau on the other side of the island.
Mr. Milikaa Moi, the theological student in charge of the parish of Kalihi
and Moanalua, has been much encouraged, and his people also, by the generous offer of aid toward a regular salary,
and also the promise of land for the
building of a parsonage. This parish
has for many years been in an enfeebled
condition and unable to support a pastor. This offer of aid is most timely.
The death of Mrs. A. V. Soares, so
sad so grievious in its loss to the living,
was but the rounding out of a beautiful
and triumphant life which was lived for
others. We mourn the loss of one so
gifted and so good, of one who drew all
to her and made them better, of one so
held to earth by so sweet a family of
little children; but it was glorious to
leave all while having such a hold of all
and so make even death an uplift toward God.
We are glad that the Cabinet has seen
fit not to grant a license for the selling
of liquor at Waimea Kauai. We believe the refusal to do so shows a
thoughtful regard for the interests of the
native Hawaiians, the people mostly
concerned in the matter. As one has
remarked, "if liquor is to be drunk it
would better be drunk privately." For
the government to grant a license would
to the native, be an approval of the use
ofit. Moreover the experiment of licensingliquor which was tried at Koloa, Kauai, was not a success. Tobase the granting of licenses on local option would
hardly be safe as yet in this land. It is
as much as we can well do now to
get on in our politics with a somewhat
centralized form of government. We
conceive that the situation touching the
liquor question is not materially different.
years ot his settlement in his parish.
His poverty has not prevented him from
doing the work of a faithful pastor, nor
from speaking sturdy words against the
flagrant immoralities of the people.
In his extreme poverty he and his
household have kept the integrity of
their home-life and made their virtues to
shine. And yet it is not always possible
for a man with less money to do
what he might with more.
Mr.
Kaalouahi was not at the last meeting
of the association. The delegate threw
out delicate hints as to the cause. After
caieful inquiry it came out that the pastor's wardrobe was not such as to permit him to come. A man with only one
pair of trousers, and that apair distinguished by certain marked blemishes, is
not in a way to feel free to go far from
home.
The Hawaiian Board shall
doubtless be Called on to subsidize this
brother. Let any who may wish to send
him a Christmas present, remember that
he is a large man fully 6 ft. high.
The doors of the grand old Kawaiahao
meeting house are again open. The
opening day was the 17th. of November,
strong sermons, worthy the notable
occasion, were preached by Revs. Desha
and S. Kapu. Pastor Parker and his
congregation are to be congratulated on

The main auditorium almost rivals
that of Central Union Church.
The
architect and builder, Mr. Peter High,
deserves praise for the fine work he has
done.
One of the most interesting
statements made at the dedicatory exexcises of the morning was that of Mr.
P. C. Jones, treaurer of the repair
fund. He said that all the work was
paid for. The whole cost, including
the putting up of electric lights, was
about $12,000. Most of this money was
contributed to the people of Kawaiahao
church by their white friends. Indeed
without the generousaid which they thus
received it would have been impossible
for them to repair their church. Let the
grateful remembrance of this fact be
another bond to hold us together in
every good work.

"with the strength of other days." Last

Indeed this has have divine companionship. Although
been the case for moat of the five or six bit body is enfeebled with sickness and
age, his spirit is in health. Ol him it
may be said, behold an Israelite indeed
in whom there is no guile.''
"I have met with the Hapuku family
and I do not find evidence of any proper regret for that giving of a horse to
an old sorceress for delivery from possession by the soul of one who had
died. This is a scandal that has caused
the Marquesans to sneer and the papists
and the foreigners to laugh."
"The services at my parish at Pumaua
are continued as usual. The attendance
ranges from 50 to 60. My daughter has
a school of 13 boys and 6 girls. The
teaching is in the French language. The
parents pay no tuition other than the
supplies of food which they bring. The
authorities (French) are pleased to recognize her school for she speaks the French,
language fluently. She was for five
years a pupil of Mr. Vienot's school at
Papeete, Tahiti, and took a diploma as
a teacher."
"The Girls' School at Atuona under
Hapuku's care was discontinued because
of his complicity in idolatrous practices.
"At my meeting with Kauwealoha we
talked long overthe situation the needs of
the field. We are old and soon to die,
who are to take our places ?"
"Send on Timoteo of Waialua to take
my place at Puamau and let me and my
family return thither to the land of our
birth.
"Send Pali of Lahaina to Uapou to
take Kauwealoha's place, and let the old
man go back to the beloved land of his
wife's people near Kaanapali. Undoubtedly you of the Hawaiian Board will
take careful thought about these matters;
even should you withdraw from the care
of this field doubtless the Lord will not.
"I was with Kauwealoha at Lahainaluna for six years. L. Andrews, Clark,
Dibble, Emerson, Alexander and Hunt
were our teachers. Dibble and Alex
ander teaching us theology."
"Finally your father got me a parish
at Kahuku, Oahu, and then the Macedonian cry came in the person of Matunui
for evangelists to go to the Marquesas;
we went, Kauwealoha and I. I have
known Kauwealoha, he is a wise man
and a good man.
He has not his
superior on Hawaii."
"Naomi is well and is engaged in the
care of the household and of the people.
She is a mother to us all. We have a
singing school now. The teachers are
Samuel Kekela's wife and his two sisters
and they have other helpers. It is a
pleasant feature of our church service
that we have good music."
"Give my love to the Waialua friends,
to your brothers, to Alexander, the head
of the Survey, to President Dole, to
Minister Damon. Mother Parker is still
living is she not ? To her I would be
remembered and to Emma Dillingham,
and the Chamberlains, and to the Hawaiian Board, and to all the brethren in
the ministry.

Speaking with moderation, Christians
in Honolulu stand unusually high for
the proportion among them of persons
who are deeply consecrated, hard workers
for the salvation of their fellow men, and
conspicuous for moral excellence. But,
here as elsewhere, the majority of professing Christians are on a low plane of
religious life. They deeply need lifting
up to a condition of active piety. They
have fallen into very fixed habits of selfindulgence. Their activities are much
devoted to securing pleasure. Their
energies are exerted in money-getting to

EvangelistYatman.
Honolulu is being favored with the
presence and labors among us of Kvangelist Charles H. Yatman. Mr. Yatman
arrived per Alameda on the 34th. It had
been his intention, on account of cholera
here, to proceed directly to Australia.
Finding however, that the epidemic had
entirely disappeared he judged it wise
to stop over and carry out the engagement previously made with our Y. .VI. C.
A. Mr. Yatman has begun a series ot
daily services. These are at present
held in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. It is evident that this room must soon overflow.
The subsequent place of meeting is not
yet fixed upon.
Mr. Yatman is exhibiting a higher
order f tervor and spiritual power than
any evangelist whom we have heard in
Honolulu. It is earnestly hoped and
expected that a genuine Revival will
attend his labors. May the blessing
come! May all Christian hearts open to
seek it !

Catholic Parasitic Missionary Enterprise.
There is reported to have been developed recently in Australia a -wordy
ecclesiastical hurricane." during a discussion of the subject of Church Reunion,
initiated by Anglicans, and followed up
by Roman Catholics, and aftervyards
by Methodists and Congregationalists.
"Cardinal Moran, the highest Roman
Catholic dignitary in the colonies, 'waded
in,' and in doing so, made an attack on
Protestant missions. He told his hearers
that the result of Protestantism was 'to
sow religious discord broadcast, and to
lead its votaries to the abyss of irreligion
and superstition.' He asserted that,
despite their humble resources, Catholic

and champions were the first to declare
that, humanly speaking, to the divisions,
and conflicting creeds of rival mission
anes this lack of results was due.' On
such a series of astounding misrepresentations did the Cardinal base his
appeals for all 'outside the saving fold' to
"This brought
enter therein."
Dr. GeOrge Brown, theGeneral Secretary
of the Wesleyan Missionary Society, into
the lists, and at his lecture, Dr. Saumarez Smith, the Anglican Primate of Australia showed his sympathy by taking
the chair.
"Cardinal Moran met more than his
match in Dr. Brown, who is a born
tighter and on many occasions has proved
himselfbad to beat. He knows, probably,
as much about the Polynesian races as
any living man, speaks most of their
languages, has explored hundreds of
miles of previously unknown coast line,
and founded missions by the score. Not
content with defending Protestant missions, he carried the war into the enemy's
country by declaring and quoting facts
to prove that Roman Catholic missionaries only go where Protestants have
pioneered and made the way safe, and
quoted Fiji in illustration. From that
country the Roman Catholics kept aloof
while its people were savage cannibals.
They invaded it after Christian civiliza
tion had made it a nation and with all
the attractive pomp and display possible.
Yet out of 1011,(100, there are now only
7,000 Roman Catholics, all the rest being
worshippers in the Methodist churches."
To the Fiji illustration, our Hawaiian
Board can add that of recent Romish
intrusion in the Gilbert Islands, after
our Board had maintained a Protestant
mission there for thirty five years, amid
severe hardships and perils from lavage
hostility. After a majority of the people
had accepted Christianity, and the British
Government had reduced the remaining
savages into subjection to order and law,
then, when all danger was over, the
Romish priests came in strong force,
and began their work by proclaiming
deadly hostility to Protestants, and enlisting all their bitter savage enemies
under the Catholic banner, in order to
overcome the preachers of the Gospel.

James F. B. Marshall and Francis Johnson had formed a partnership, styled
Marshall & Johnson, for "transacting a
general mercantile business" at Honolulu. With them Captain Brewer joined,
and to them transferred his business
when he came home in 184!). August
31, 1847, the partnership of these three
expired by limitation, and a new firm
took "the warehouse recently occupied
by them," and also the business, under
the style of—
S. H. Williams S> Co., a firm that
lasted from 1847 to 1860. The members
were Stephen H. Williams, James F. B.
Marshall, and Wm. Baker, Jr. June 17,
1848, Benjamin F. Snow was admitted
a partner.
During this partnership the
discovery of gold in California helped to
enlarge business, as also did whaling.
B. F. Snow, (as he signed) on Sept.
16, 1060, reported (by lettei to J. H.)
that he was "successor of the firm of S.
H. Williams & Co." He continued to
receive business that had gone to that
house. On February 21st, 1856, he departed for New York, and left his affairs
with B. W. Field. The succession in the
house, however, was through—
Charles Brewer, 2il, a nephew of Captain Chas. Brewer, with whom he had
been, 1843-1845. Contemporaneously
with Mr. Snow he was in business, and
also doing that which went to the house,
and all, or most of it, by 1866.* In
September, 1859, Sherman Peck joined
him, and the firm again became—
C. Brewer &• Co., a style that has
continued from iBsg to the present date,
often with no one by the name of Brewer
in it at Honolulu. In the period 1826-59,
or thirty-three years, there were four,
1843-47, when it had been the style.
Mr. Brewer retired in the summer of
1861, and October Bth, Mr. Peck was
joined by Charles H. Lunt, who had
arrived during the preceding month. In
August, 1862, they were joined by H. A.
P. Carter. Mr. Lunt, who returned to
Boston in the summer of 1862, retired
in May, 1863.
All the members of the house who
have been named are now (1895) dead.
This sketch of the changes during forty
years 1826-66, may very properly be
followed by another with brief, notice ol
their personal history, which will show
their thoroughly New England character
and their services, public as well as
mercantile.
James Hunnewell was born, in Charlestown, Mass., Feb. 10, 1794, and died
in his home there, May I, 1869. His
family of Hunnewells had lived on
Massachusetts ground for over two centuries, and his mother's, Frothingham,
since 1630. He married Susan Lamson, whose family had been as long in

the state. In him the missionaries and
the natives had one of their best friends.
At his death the king, Kamehameha V.,
in a valued letter to the present writer,
said: "The name of the late James
Hunnewell was early associated with the
commercial interests of these Islands,
and his long and useful life was marked
by such constant goodwill to my kingdom, that I shall always cherish his
memory with sincere regard. Although
he was only removed in the fulness of
time, I deeply sympathize with you in
the loss of such a parent, but I congratulate you in the inheritance of such an
honored name."
Charles Brewer was born in Boston,
March 27, 1801. He was descended
from Daniel Brewer, who settled in Rox
bury, Mass., in 1632, and died, on an
cestral ground, at his home in Jamaica
Plain. His funeral, Oct. 13, 1885, was
attended by a remarkable representation
of Hawaii. In 18J0 he married Martha
D. Turner, at Charlestown, where her
father was a Universalist minister,
1814 36. He was much esteemed, and
although little in public life, so called,
he was widely and well known.
Henry Alpheus Pierce, son of Joseph
H., was born in Dorchester, Mass., Dec.
15, 1808, and died in San Francisco,
July 29, 1885. For about thirty years
he lived in Charlestown and Boston, and
married Susan R. Thompson, of an old
family in the former city. He traveled
extensively in Mexico and South America. He was a pioneer in the sugar industry at the Islands, but was too early
in and out of it to realize its gains, and
lacked success in an attempt at the
South after the Civil War. After leaving
business he was, from July, 1869, to
Sept., 1877, the Minister of the United
States, resident in Hawaii.
James Fowle Baldwin Marshall, son of
a native of Boston, was born there in
August, 1818, and died at his home in
Weston, Mass., May 6, 1891. He arrived
at the Islands in 1839. He married Martha Twycross Johnson, of Charlestown.
His public services in and for Hawaii,
especially her independence, were distinguished. After leaving mercantile
business he was during the Civil War in
the Sanitary Commission, and later a
paymaster general of Massachusetts for
the army —there were all told 150,000
men that the State sent to the front.
In this office he had the rank of Brigadier General. Like the accounts of the
old Honolulu house, his for the Commonwealth were of the first class. After
the war he joined another Hawaiian
worthy, General S. C. Armstrong and,
1870-84, became a manager of that great
benevolent institution, the Hampton
School. F"or Hawaiian, African, or Indian, his work was good and enduring.
Benjamin F. Snow was born in Boston
and, at the age of 60, in Honolulu, Dec.
19, 1866, on the fortieth anniversary of
his arrival there, he died, greatly esteemed and respected.

THE FRIEND
Charles Brewer, 2d, son of Isaac C, of
Boston, was born there Sept. 14, 1823,
and died in Honolulu, June 4, 1863,
another good New England Hawaiian.
Sherman Peck was born in Berlin,
Conn., Dec. 28, 1800, and died in Honolulu, June 17, 1871. His first American
ancestor was Paul Peck, who arrived in
Boston in 1635, and] the next year became one of the early settlers of the
Connecticut Colony. Sherman Peck
was widely esteemed.
Henry A. P. Carter was born in Honolulu in 1837; was educated in Boston,
and retired from business in 1874. He
died in New York, Nov. 1, I8«jl. At
the Islands he had "almost every position of honor and trust" there, among
other offices that of Minister of Foreign
Affairs. In 1876, and later, he was the
Minister Plenipotentiary of Hawaii at
Washington, where he had an honorable
and honored place among the diplomatic
representatives of the world. Nations
larger than Hawaii would be well off if
they always had a representative as good
and able.
The old house, of which the earlier
history has been told, still flourishes, one
of the very few American houses outside
the United States —and not many there
—of its age or nearly its age. No house
begins and continues as it has, except
on sound principles steadily practised.
Integrity, enterprise and well made accounts have always been its characteristics. Besides their thoroughly good
mercantile qualities, its managers have
been a least as noted for their services
in good citizenship, in philanthrophy,
nnd in public affairs—and this estimate of
their character and conduct is here
expressed by one who has personally
known, or known of, both from the beginning.
This account of the more distant past
may well be followed by another on the
history of the house during the last thirty
years. In closing this, it is only justice
to say that few houses have had, and still
have, a roll of members better or more
widely known. Their past and present
are worthy of each other. We all know
the high position and reputation held by
the living president of the company that
the house has become. In religious and
in political affairs, as well as those of
business, we cordially esteem, and we
wish long life to, Peter Cushman Jones.
And to the several other good men in it,
we also wish long life, especially to that
sterling merchant, patriot, and philanthropist, who would honor any community, the Honorable Charles Reed Bishop.
Long may the good old house prosper!
It has been a credit not only to itself,
but to both the American and the Hawaiian rtame, and may its long past be
the shortest part of its history.

A Plea for Simplicity.
"There can be no dispute that projects
are contemplated which, if sanctioned
and shaped by legislation, would not
only afford lodgment to ideas and opinions, but would bring into being offices
and officers, titles, badges, marks ofrank,
grades of authority, heretofore not known
in the church in the United States. If
they would promote or illustrate its
apostolicity, its catholicity, its orthodoxy,
or its sanctity, they deserve to be encouraged. II they are essentially hierarchical, they cannot be too soon swept
out of the path of the kingdom which the
Gospel proclaims.
"Civilization is dogged in its merry
march by three cruel seducers—luxury,
frivolity and vanity. They will thrust
their tawdry pomp into the advance, led
by the bride of Christ, if they can. She
may well look anxiously and pathetically
on her children, who are not of this
world, needing for herself no meretricious attractions upon her chaste beauty
to win them, no tiara on her forehead to
impress them with her royalty, no array
of mortal distinctions to make her majesty more august. They who imagine
that the Lord's Sacraments are honored
or venerable in proportion to the barbaric
parade of the function, forget the principles of art hardly less than of the religion
of the Son of God, and are almost as
untaught by the culture of Athens as by
the simplicity of Nazareth. A state can
have the virtue of order without political
finesse ordiplomatic fuss, and the Church
can have the grace of sacraments in its
fullness without being spectacular, or
effervescent, or mimetic. One does not
see how the very plain duties of a presiding bishop would be better discharged if
he were titled archbishop, patriarch,
metropolitan or primate, or how the
helpers in our domestic and rural mis
sions are to be strengthened by the
decoration of a foreign nomenclature."
—Bishop
F. D. Huntington.
Cholera Nostras?
A recently arrived German physician,
Dr. G. C. Surmann, has addressed an
ably written letter to the Board of Health,
in which he maintains that the late
epidemic was not at all Asiatic cholera,
but Cholera Nostras, "the symptoms of
which in acute cases greatly resemble
those of Asiatic cholera." Medical opinion here wholly preponderates against
Dr. Surmann. The extreme malignancy
of the disease was very marked in moat
of the cases. Microscopic slides of the
comma bacillus found in the excreta
have been forwarded to Germany for
expert verification.

" The Islands of the Pacific. From

sketch of missions in the Pacific. By
Rev. James M. Alexander." American
Tract Society, pp. 595.
This admirable book has only just
come to hand, and can receive now only
a brief notice. As described in the title
page, its leading feature is a condensed
account ot Christian missionary enterprise among the Pacific Islanders. It
supplies, however, a long existing want,
by giving brief and accurate descriptions
of the various island archipelagoes, of
their inhabitants and history.
Mr. Alexander has executed his task
with much of the characteristic painstaking and accuracy of his eminent
brother, W. D. Alexander, as well as
with something of the latter's felicity ol
diction. As a missionary's son from
Hawaii, this work has been to him a
labor of love, for which he was peculiarly qualified.
There are nine maps in the book, also
sixty-four half-tone plates, most of
which have not hitherto been published.
It is the most useful contribution to the
literature of the Pacific that has appeared for some years.
This favorite institution opened its fall
term Oct. 7th, with a strong corps of
able instructors. The return of Mr. J.
Q. Wood is especially welcomed. Prof.
A. B. Ingalls, who succeeds the accomplished Dr. Lyons, brings a good record
as a scientist from Amherst and Williams Colleges.
Very perfect sanitary arrangements
are provided at both the College and at
the Preparatory department at the head
of Richards Street. At both places also
the drinking water is boiled and filtered.
The first annual meeting of the Free
Kindergarten and Children's Aid Association was held on the morning of the
4th October in the Y. If. C. A. hall.
The charter was accepted which had
been granted by the Government.
The following officers were elected
for the year

Financial Secretary
Mrs. H. C.
Coleman.
Treasurer —Mrs. Arthur B. Wood.
Auditor —Mr. W. A. Bowen.
Mrs. Coleman, who is the chief moving spirit of the association, expressed
her thanks for the help and encouragement she had received. In presenting
hei report of income and expenses for
the past year, she pointed out that for
the coming year the regular expenses
would necessarily be increased, while a
number of pledges had fallen off. There
was SI,OOO in the treasury to begin the
work of the year. The pledges received
from subscribers are expected to yield
about $1,900, Expenses for the coming
year are estimated at $3,400. It is
greatly desired to enlarge the work by
extending it to the other islands, whence
most urgent calls have come.

expired.
Mr. Kawamui was born at Hana,
Maui, in 1841. He was educated in
English at the Royal School. He began
his newspaper career in 1865 as an
assistant to Rev. Dr. L. H. Gulick who
had started the Kuokoa, with the especial
aim of opposing the absolutist and
heathenizing|tendencies of the then king,
Kamehanieha Y. From Mr. Gulick,
Kawainui absorbed many of those sentiments which determined his later political attitude. After Dr. Gulick left, Kawainui continued with H. M. Whitney
in editorial charge of the Kuokoa. In
1878, he started an independent paper
of his own the Pae Aina, which he conducted with some success until 1892,
when he resumed the charge of the Kuokoa, still published by Mr. Whitney.
Kawainui was a native of unusual intelligence. His knowledge of English

At the time of his death he was a member
of the Council of State. Special Government honors were paid at his funeral.
During his later years the deceased
was a consistent professor of religion,
and an active and serviceable member of
Kawaiahao Church. His disposition
was amiable. He possessed in a degree
unusual among natives the capacity for
steady and patient work, as well as great
tact and good sense. His death must
be esteemed a most serious loss to the
native people and -to the country.
Filling a Swamp.
The Dredger is excavating the upper

Dr. Emerson testified that " the smaller

The last case of Cholera.
After the end ot the epidemic Sept.
18th, there were, during the following
fifteen days, three scattering cases. The
very last case occurred on the night of
October 2d, that of an elderly white
inmate of the Insane Asylum, named
Wheeler. He was known to have drank
of the water flowing among taro patches,
such as five days before had caused the
death of another patient. The Board of
Health at once caused several acres of
taro patches, believed to be infected, to
be dried up.
The Rev. Kenneth Duncan was a
Presbyterian minister of rare ability, fine
culture, and seemingly of deep spiritual
experience. He preached among us
here in a most acceptable manner. It
was known, however, that after occupying important pulpits, he had twice succumbed to a resistless appetite lor intoxicants.

The Waialua Association.
The Association which met at Waialua
Oct. 23 '21, was attended by all but two
of the pastors of the island. Kvery
church hut one was represented either
by pastoi, preacher or delegate.
The most important feature of the
meeting was its harmony. This feature
has been reported from every Association
meeting held thus far. It was pleasant
to note the interest the Waialua people
took in this meeting. Numbers were on
hand at every session, and at the Christian Endeavor social held the last evening, nearly every body in the district was
present. There were over 200 people
there. The remark was made that this
organization has an easy time of it now,
for most every body has been reached
and brought to church. One of the
notable acts of the Association was the
appointment of a committee to consider
how all the churches of the island, the
Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese, as
well as the Central Union, may be
brought into the Association. It was
felt also that the Association should be
responsible in seeing that every pastor
on the island should have at least $300
salary, and a committee was appointed,
consisting of Revs. Timoteo, Emerson
and Gulick, to try and achieve this result.
Mr. Gulick is the treasurer of the committee, and is authorized to solicit funds
from those friendly to the work of the
Hawaiian pastor. The case of M. Lutera, the presumably demented preacher
and late missionary to the Gilbert Islanders, was referred to a committee who
are to investigate his condition and report at the next meeting of the Association.
The people at Waianae were asked to
defer action on their call to him to be
come their preacher till this committee
might report. The next meeting of the
Association is to be held at Kaumakapili
Church in April, 1896.
Report of the Japanese Work.
From the arrival of Rev. J. Okabe,
about five years ago tor evangelical work,
Hilo has been the point of the most successful work for the Japanese upon the
islands.
Since the transference of Mr. Okabe
Honolulu, two evangelists have successfully conducted the Hilo city work.

THE FRIEND
Rev. Mr. Sugiyama for seventeen months
has been the acceptable and successful
pastor of the Hilo Church. All the work
for the Japanese laborers in this country
partakes of the character of a seaman's
chaplain's work, in that the audiences
are continually and rapidly changing.
This fact is strikingly illustrated by the
conditions of the Hilo work. The records
of the church show that 2fio or 270
persons have become members of that
church since Mr. Okabe commenced
work there, about five yeais ago,—the
most of these on profession ot faith. Ot
this large number, to day but about M
can be found in Hilo and vicinity. A
few have died, but the great majority
have moved away to other parts ; many
to other districts or places upon these
islands, some to America, but the larger
portion have returned to Japan. Truly
service for Japanese upon these islands
is casting our bread upon the waters.
After many days the seed sown will bear
fruit, some of it upon these islands, some
in America, but much of it, most of it,
in Japan.
Rev. M. Sugiyama who left Hilo in
August and who sailed on Saturday for
further study in the U. S., is a man of
much culture, possessing a thorough
knowledge of English, and is a man of
power as preacher and pastor. He was
much beloved in Hilo by Japanese and
foreigners alike.
Mr. J. Kawabe, a graduate of the
Doshisha College, and theological dc
partment, arrived in Hilo just before Mr.
Sugiyama left and entered at once with
earnest spirit upon the work. He gives
much promise of usefulness.
On the last Sabbath in Sept. twelve
persons, eleven men and one woman,
were baptized in the Hilo Church, as the
result of the labors of Mr. Sugiyama in
Hilo, and Mr. Sasakura in Papaikou.
Mr. and Mrs. Sasakura are holding on
in Papaikou where they exert an influence for good. Her projects for Kindergarten work have not been carried out
owing to ill health.
Mr. Sokabe at Honomu has held many
meetings, and like his two brethren is
occupied with classes or evening meetings nearly every evening in the week.
Inability to speak the English language
excludes him from intercourse with foreign friends, and from appreciative sympathy in his faithful work.
Mrs Soo, the Japanese Bible woman
who is supported by the Woman's Board
of the Hawaiian Islands, accompanied
us to Hilo: and did good work among
the needy Japanese women of Hilo,
Wainaku and Papaikou plantations.
Kohala is in some respects the most encouraging Japanese field on the islands.
Mr. S. Kanda, the efficient evangelist
of this station has been at this post two
years, and is deep in his work. He holds
meetings or classes five evenings in the
week; thus reaching some of the laborers
on each ofthe five plantation every week.
At Niulii, at one remote camp, there
is an interesting company of :ll Kumamoto people, "-'7 men and ft women, all
from the vicinity of Otamura, six miles
south ofKumanioto city. This company
upon arrival eight months ago, pledged
themselves to each othel to abstain from
strong drink, and from gambling. These
two besetting vices have been thus excluded from this camp. Partly as a
consequence, this company has remitted
to their friends in Japan during the past
eight month*, eight hundred dollars.
Your missionary in company with Mr.
Kanda visited and spoke to this interesting and Ittentative company. This
camp constitute*, one of the bright spots
in the Kohala field. On the Sabbath,
the I:sth of October, on the occasion of
the observance of the Lord's Supper, two
Japanese men made profession of faith
in Christ ; while a company of forty-five
attended the service.
The Japanese Bible woman here held
meetings with her countrywomen on
the Kohala plantation: and it was thought
best that she remain here for a month of
work among the needy ones ; Rev. and
Mrs. Ostrom affording her a home, and
that moral and Christian support which
every good cause receives at their hands.

In addition to Mr. Citilick's report of
the work on the Island of Hawaii, the
following facts may be given of the
work on the Islands of Maui, Oahu and
Kauai :
Key. Oyabe, ol l'aia, Maui, writes :
My work is getting very interesting

were chosen, and the other three were

The nine were received on confession of
faith. Japanese came from almost all
parts of Maui to attend the service.
The Japanese Methodist preacher from
Spreckelsville was present, also Mr.
Gomi and other friends from Kula. A
number of white people were present.
I saw Mr. and Mrs. Lindsay, Mr. and
Mrs. Loveland, Mrs. Praming and Miss
Beckwith. Dr. Beckwith was too busy
on that day in attendance at his second
service at Makawao, so he did not come,
but he sent us beautiful flowers. The
service was cpened at 2:30 p.m., and

these services. We have an evening

of the week —a night each in Waihee,
After the

school we have a prayer meeting in
each place."
This is to be a week of deep interest
with the Japanese congregation of this
city. At the morning service of the 3d
inst. there is to be sung the national
hymn in recognition of the birthday of
their emperor ; in the evening the sacra
ment of the Lord's supper is to be celebrated, when it is expected that there
will be eight accessions to the membership of the church. While Mr. Okumura has charge of the city congrega
tion, Mr. Nishiyama gathers one in
Ewa, which he visits twice a week.
Mr. Yamazaki, who is in charge of
the mission at Lihue, Kauai, and who
also visits the station at Koloa, has
been suffering from an attack of malarial
fever, from which he is now recovering.
Perhaps Mr. Yeguchi, of Makaweli,
has as large and as compact a field as
there is in the group, no less than 1000
Japanese being in its center and on the
Makaweli plantation alone.
Rev. S. T. Uyeda, wife and child are
expected by the next steamer from
Yokohama. He is coming to reinforce
our Japanese mission. He will make
the twelfth in number of our evangelists. When he comes it is probable
that a station will be taken in Kail. Mr,
Uyeda has had considerable experience
as a worker in Shanghai, and it is expected that he will prove quite an
acquisition to our force.
A Three Days' Student of the Missionary
Fathers.
How shall we take the remarks of the
head of the Salvation Army of the Pacific
Coast in the person of Brig. Keppel,
when, after a three days' visit to Honolulu, he opened his mouth and addressed
a reporter of the "War Cry" as follows:
"The missionaries of old attacked the
Hawaiians in a general and intellectual
fashion. There was, therefore, nothing
in the nature of a spiritual intimacy cultivated between the natives and their
teachers, and many superstitions and
habits of the former were left untouched,
that should systematically have been
attacked. As a consequence, the natives,
while they are pleased, are at the same
time somewhat embarrassed by the absolute equality in which they find themselves associated with us, and are unequivocally surprised, even pained at
certain moral demands made upon them.
They have so long been used, as it were,
to being handled with missionary tongs;
to being placed upon a plane of acknowledged inferiority; to being accounted as
Christians without finding it necessary
many cases, as if the Salvation Army,
while delightfully broad in its socialism,
is quite too stringent in its spirituality"
Does Mr. Keppel mean to imply that
the missionary fathers did not beat a big
bass drum when they gathered their
followers, or that the missionary mothers
did not rattle tambourines before their
audiences ? If so, he is right. The
christian world was not given to that
sort of thing then, and those revered
fathers and mothers may be excused foi
being a little more sedate than the halle
lujah lads and lasses of the Salvation
Army. Does he mean that the demonstrative and noisy methods of the Salvation Army are best conducive in general
to spirituality ? There are those who
hold a different opinion. Why does he
charge tbe missionaries with being unspiritual ? It is about the last charge
ever brought to their door. They have
been charged with being too spirituallyminded in their ways that they were
too strict in their moral teachings. They
were never before charged with looseness
and neglect in mttters touching the conduct of life All the blame so far has
been the other way. But did the old
missionaries really reach the people ?
Let Mr. Keppel read the story of their
noble, sweet loving lives. No people
ever went more out ol themselves and
into others' lives. As preachers and
teachers of spiritual truth, as pastors to
the troubled and sinful, as advisers, helpers, guides, physicians and nurses of the
ignorant, the sick and the troubled, no
body of workers ever surpassed them.
Let Mr. Keppel get his information from
those that know. Let him go to Waimea
and question the people of father Lyons'
parish, or that of father Paris' parish,
or those of father Alexander or Baldwin,
Bishop, Smith or Bond, or Parker, or
Emerson, as I have done again and
again, and he will not say that those
fathers were not loved by their people,
that they did not feel them supremely in
their lives as a spiritual power, or that
they were careless of the morals of their
people. About the last charge that can
be laid to the door of the missionary
fathers is that they were not in spiritual
touch with their people.
They were intellectual men and
women, and they had to be, to be able
to begin where they did, reduce a language to writing and create its literature.
But this intellectuality did notdeter them
from coming into personal touch with
the people. Let Mr. Keppel be careful
how in the future he sets himself up as
a teacher of the truth, for by this talk of
his, it is seen that he has made "a bad
break." Let him next time take more
than three days for his studies of Hawaiian missions. We are willing to put
up with the peculiar methods of our
brethren of the Salvation Army. We
are willing to say God-speed to them in
all their disinterested labors, but let them
and sown for halt a century by criticising
the methods, the teachings and lives of
men and women who were as pure and
noble as this age has seen.

Churches Closed.
By order of the Board of Health, all
in Honolulu were closed
for three Sundays, the Ist, Bth, and 15th
of September. At the same time, all
assemblage of people for religious worship, or for any other object, were prohibited The reason of this unusual action
was the tendency of such assemblies of
people, especially of natives, to disseminate cholera, by means of the presence
of infected persons. It was officially
stated that one native woman was taken
with vomiting in the Catholic church,
dying in a few hours.
Unquestionably the Board were acting
under the sternest pressure of duty to
take the severest measures which seemed
to be necessary to limit and eradicate a
pestilence that was at the time gaining
ground in the city. Their efforts have
been successful. It seems fitting and
reverent to say that (iod has blessed
those efforts, as he does bless tlie exer
cisc of diligence, wisdom and courage.

Opinions may differ as to the real
necessity of so preventing assemblages
of people. The Board of Health had to
exercise their best judgment, as guided
by a large majority of the experienced
physicians ol the city. That judgment
must of necessity rule. The)' were responsible, holding the lives of the people
in their hands. The reasons given for
this prohibition of assemblages seem to
have fully as much force as those for
prohibiting any person from passing
certain narrow city limits without a per
mit. to which no one has raised objection.
Certainly the presence of a single infected
person would be many times more dangerous to a crowd than lv a small group.
It must be simply a queation ol danger.
Surely no pastor would object to the
closing of his church, it be believed that
it had become seriously infected with
cholera germs.
With deepest thankfulness to God who
had abated the pestilence, WHS received

Prayer in Epidemics.
During the late partial epidemic ol
cholera in this city, m our trouble

to deliver us from the threatening pestilence. Shall we believe that such prayers wtreof service, and that they con

such a belief soundly rational ? It certainly accords with the teaching of Holy
Writ, such as m Psalm 50:16. '"Call
upon me in the da)' of trouble ; I will
deliver thee, and thou shall glorify me."
We have no question that it Is a most
just and reasonable belief, and thoroughly consistent with all that we know ol
the laws of mind and matter.
God knows all the Conditions and processes ofany pestilence. If he so choose,
lie can send angelic or other agencies so
to act upon the poisonous germs as to
destroy them, just as human skill can
destroy noxious blights. It may be
reasonably believed that he may have

Hawaiian Relief Society.—Liberal Donations.
Much distress for lack of food su| plies
created among the native population
for a short time. It was due in part to
a sudden lack of employment of laborers
Consequent upon the stagnation of business ; largely also to the prohibition of
fishing and of gathering sea products on
the reefs, by which many natives gained
a subsistence. To remedy this distress,
the Hawaiian Relief Society was organized by a number of halfwhite and other
ladies, who were chiefly of royalist sympathies. This fact is mentioned only to
show how cordially people of both parties
cooperated.
Ample funds were supplied, and a system of distributing food to needy Hawaiians went into immediate operation.
On some days over 3000 rations were
issued. It is quite certain that not all
those persons were in actual need ; but
it was not practicable nor wise to exercise too close a selection. The cost of
rations seems to have been not over ten
cents each.
About $UOOO was promptly subscribed
for the good work. $6600 were in sums
of from $200 to $500. While the greater
part was given by supporters of the Republic, who form the great majority of
our business men, three leading men of
the other party contributed $500 each.
Thus again was shown an absence of
partisan spirit, as was to be expected.
The good ladies of the .Society have

of a Hawaiian Expert.
1
Mrs. Emma Mete ilf Nakuina is a
half-white Hawaiian lady, whose education, ability and character are such as to
enable her to perform with credit the
duties of the very responsible office ol
Commissioner of Ways in this city. Sheis a thorough expert in all that pertains
to the subject of Hawaiian customs and
.
beliefs. Mrs. Nakuina has contributed
r
to the P. C. Ativertist r of Sept. >th, a
letter of great importance, showing how
certain native practices tend to dissemination of cholera. The first half of the
letter is occupied with showing minutel)
how crabs penetrating the graves oi
cholera victims on Quarantine islet, have
infected with the germs of the disease,
other fishes and limn or sea moss ; and
how such crabs and limn eaten raw by
Iwdei natives, started cholera in the city.
She also p ants out how the washing in
the lower Nuuanu stream of clothing
infected by cholera victims has infected
generally the fish and sea moss of the
harbor, which were constantly gathered
on the reefs by the natives.
Patrols have since then prevented the
ptople from fishing or gathering sea
products.
Mrs. Nakuina continues as follows:
"While I am writing about this very
unpleasant subject, I must warn the
authorities of one very disgusting and
dangerous custom which is occasionallypracticed by the natives when instigated
by a kahuna ; and th.it is, when they have
a suspicion that a person has died from
anaana, or in other words, have been
prayed to death, they take the nails, some
hair, or, preferably, vomit or excreta of
the corpse, wrap it up in a perfectly clean
and new rag or paper, formerly a cocoa
nut fibre, and take it to some water
source-such as a spring, reservoir or
head of a stream -and place it securely
under a stone, in the belief that the
essence of the dead will spread out in
the water and, if drank by the parties
guilty of anaanaing the departed, or by
anyone who knew of it, would cause
death to such within a short time.
'•There is no knowing but some ignorant persons, enraged by the loss of a
dear one, and skeptical as to the 'mai a ka
haole' (foreigners' disease), may try to
pollute our accessible water sources. I
would most respectfully suggest that it
would be money well spent for the Government to employ at least two guards
for every water source. The nighttime
would be the time most likely to be
selected for such work.
"I have been solemnly assured by at
least a half dozen different paities that

"It may be said that a good deal of the
views sit forth here are mere conjectures,
but they are founded on a thorough

habits of my own race.
"Emma M. Nakuin \"
The testimony oi this expert is of the
highest importance as to the great prevalence of kahuna sorcery among her
race, and to its very pernicious effects.
To "illinium" (ah-nah ah nab).
It is learned that six natives who escaped from the infected sections of Kapuukolo by the waterfront, were found
ten days later, hiding three miles up
Nun.inn .-alley by the stream, which
they would have Infected, had cholera
developed among them.
The erroneous report of eating of Unsound horse llcsh at Iwilei, which was
given on page 72 of I'm-. FaiBND, grew
out of the horse affair mentioned by Mis
Nakuina. We accept the correction of
the Diocesan, although we have occa
sionally known Hawaiians to eat horse
flesh, and often that of asses, which we
have been told b)- white men was very
p. latable.
.
Severe Embargo on Other Islands.
The presence ot cholera in Honolulu
justly caused great fear on Maui.
Kauai and Hawaii, lest the pestilence
should be transmitted to them from this
city. It was felt by the intelligent citi
zens of those islands that they were not
in a situation to cope successfully with
the plague as are the people of Honolulu.
They have few physicians. Their intelligent white residents, who alone would
have to fight the battle, are few in number
compared with Oahu. Once finding
lodgment, the plague would spread with
little check. The majority of the natives
would be swept away. All the houses
would be infected. The sources of water
supply would become contaminated. All
classes would be fatally exposed. We
cannot blame our friends there, even if
perhaps their fears have been in excess
of what was reasonable.
Honolulu people have felt that our
good neighbors beyond the channels
has
have carried precaution to excess. At
all the principal ports, freight and passengers have been absolutely refused
landing. At Kahului and on Kauai,
leading residents returning to their
bonus, after undergoing full quarantine
outside of Honolulu harbor, have been
not only prohibited from landing, but
denied the opportunity of farther quarantine on shore. At Hilo such quarantine was allowed after much demur.
Freight having been landed at some
of the smaller places, guards were at
once placed on the roads and land communication with those places cut off at
once.
What would seem to have been the
most without reason of all these proceedings was the treatment at Punaluu in
Kau of a party of American tourists on
their way to the Volcano. These people
had arrived in the steamer Australia
from San Prancisco September 2nd.
Finding cholera in the city, they remained on the ship until transferred directly
to the W. G. Hall, thus being absolutely
without possibility of exposure to the
disease. Nevertheless on landing at
Kau on the sth, they were at once driven
aboard the ship again by the DeputySheriff, acting under orders from Hilo.
Considerable hardship has been ex
perienced at many points, both by individuals and by plantations, in consequence of the cutting off of regular supplies of rice, flour, and other provisions
from Honolulu, as well as other necessaries. The Board of Health have done
their best in co-operation with Honolulu
agents and merchants to secure such
effectual disinfection and quarantining
of ships and freight as to make the
transportation of goods absolutely safe.
Yet such safe freight has repeatedly
been refused a landing.
The largest wharf, the Pacific Mail,
with adjacent buildings, was carefully
isolated and fumigated, and provided
with a suitable force of men thoroughly
quarantined and disinfected. At this
wharf, cargoes from abroad were landed
before their ships touched any other
land. And -from this wharf, the same
goods are shipped on thoroughly clean
steamers to the other islands.
The entire cessation of cholera in
Honolulu could after all bring the only
satisfactory restoration of confidence.
Death of S. D. Fuller.
Mr. Puller was for some years the
Secretary of the Y. M. C. Association of Honolulu, and was greatly
esteemed and beloved. The progress
of pulmonary disease compelled his resignation of office. He had been for the
last three years in Canon City, Colorado.
His death tookplace atthe Anna Jacques
hospital in Newburyport, Mass., on the
14th of August. He was 46 years of age.
A most manly and loveable Christian,
and one whom many young men will
long remember as a kind and wise helper.

85 cases, 60 deaths.
Nineteen of these cases were not re-
ported until dying, and 16 not until after
death. Subtracting these 35 from both
columns, leaves 50 cases which received
somewhat timely medical aid, and 26
deaths, which is not an excessive mortality in cholera.
Impartial Prohibition of Assemblages.
A sample of this is reported in the
holes in his clothing and blistered his
skin. It can be imagined how such a
story would deter the natives from reporting new cases.
Another patient, after release, reported
seeing a supposed corpse move after disinfectants had been applied. This was
followed by the posting by some person
of written placards in the native language
denouncing the burial alive of cholera
patients, two of whom were alleged to
have been found moving in their coffins
at the cemetery. These slanders caused
great indignation among those working
to eradicate cht lera. It is deeply to be
regretted that certain unlawful violence
ensued in punishment thereof. There
seems reason to believe that the offending party was not at the time in sound
mental balance, and needed forbearance.
To those who are earnestly laboring to
suppress great evils, there seldom fails
to be a constant call for patience under
opposition and slander.
:
Star of Sept. 6th, as follows
"About a score of Honolulu ladies
prominent in church work and social
affairs gathered at Cjueen Emma hall
this morning for a meeting to plan a
kindergarten campaign. Someone notified the police that a "crowd" had assembled. Officers were dispatched and
the meeting was abruptly brought to a
close."
Of course there was no possible fear
that any of the said ladies could convey
infection. But the rule against assemblies cannot draw class or race lines,
even though the cholera does draw such
lines quite closely.
Hence, although fears were confined to
assemblies of native Hawaiians only, it
was necessary to close all the churches
as well as those of Hawaiians, and to
prohibit even the neighborhood prayer
meetings which on Sept. Nth were such
a comfort to those debarred from church
privileges.
Slandering the Cholera Hospital.
The most essential of all the agencies
for combating the pestilence, was the
Cholera Hospital which was early estab
lished in the former Immigration Depot,
beyond the Marine Railway, with a
strong staff of physicians and nurses.
Here those attacked with the deadly
malady could be efficiently cared for, and
at the same time prevented from infecting others. This important remedial
agency, however, was greatly impeded
by false reports designed to prejudice
the natives against it. On the 7th Mrs.
Nakuina published the statement that
the first man discharged as cured was
actively reporting that all his fellow suf
ferers had been poisoned with a whitish
liquid, and that he escaped their fate
only by fighting the medicine off. Some
that was spilled in the struggle corroded
Steamers Refuse our Mails.
On the 2:! d of August, the Moilowai
from Sydney, refused to carry our mails
to San Francisco, or even a scrap of
writing, or a newspaper. This delayed
our communication with the United
States for 14 days. On the 19th of Sept.,
the Mariposa of the same line, acted in
like manner, again delaying our communications for 14 days. Carefully fumi
gated mails were tendered to both these
ships. There is the best reason to believe that receiving such mails would
not have exposed those steamers to
quarantine. To the view of Honolulu
people the hard treatment given us by
the masters of those two ships was quite
unnecessary.
A Race Line.
In its deadly dealings with our population, cholera has quite closely drawn a
race line, selecting native Hawaiians
chiefly for its visitation, forming only
2. t per cent, of the city population, they
have supplied 90 percent, of the victims,
or 77 out of I*6 of the whole number of
cases ofcholera. Three were Americans,
two Portuguese, one each Japanese,
Chinese, and half-white. The exemption
of the half-whites is gratifying, proving
their elevation above the natives in char
acter and intelligence. There is little
doubt that the ravages of the pestilence
were chiefly among the lower classes of
natives.
Leprosy has always selected the natives in like manner. Smallpox has
repeatedly done the same. The reasons
are obvious, an absolute neglect of ordinary precautions, and a refusal of foreign
medical aid, resorting in preference to
kahuna sorcerers. These poor people
r
really need a strict guardianship, such as
they received during the three weeks of
the inspection, which saved them from
being swept off by thousands.
The two Portuguese cases were from

hand early, both recovered. All the
other foreign cases were fatal. A sailor
on the Bennington was infected by the
contaminated surface of the harbor water
where he bathed. The other two Americans took the disease from a native
woman whom they had tended, who
was pronounced by an able physician not
to have cholera, and who recovered.
The one Chinaman was cook in the same
house.
A General Clean-up of the City.
Monday the 23d, and the next day,
were devoted to a thorough cleansing and
disinfection of all houses in infected
districts, that is, all dwellings and premi
ses within several hundred feet of any
house where cholera had occurred.
Many hundred barrels of lime were consumed for white wash. 1200 brushes
were issued for this purpose, and some
hundreds of men hired to assist the house

amounts of disinfectants were used.
Outside of the infected districts also
went on a general clean up of premises,
and a universal spreading or hanging of
clothing in the sun. It may he hoped
that by these means most of the cholera
germs possibly remaining hidden were
destroyed. The native residents generally assisted most heartily in the work.
Sanitary Improvements.
The unsanitary old Fishmarket has
been demolished, and the materials
burned. The traffic has been removed
to the new market building, for so many
years left incomplete. Work has been
begun in laying a cemented pavement.
A sea wall with a street of good width
is being carried from the old market
around to Smith's bridge. A long range
of unwholesome sheds and tenements
overhanging the sea and stream are being
removed. The lower end of Nuuanu
stream is hereafter to run between walls.

This word meaning "foul water is the
name of a hamlet located some distance
seaward of the end of the tramway in

are said to have come. The first case
came from eating raw fish, the others
from drinking surface water contaminated by the first case. Finally some 40
surviving inhabitants were taken to the
cholera quarantine, and all their huts
burned.

A Census of Honolulu.
Kach sub inspector of the Board of
Health began by entering in a book, the
names, ages, and nationalities of every
person living in his section. From these
books has been made out a census of this
city, which must have considerable accuracy. The figures reported are as follows:

Hawaiians, including half whites, in
1890 were 11,10. >, showing a loss of 6 16,
or nearly 6 per cent. The pure Hawaiians were then 8,552. As mixed
whites have certainly much increased,
the present number of pure Hawaiians
in Honolulu is probably not more than
7000.
The census shows a decrease of pure
whites other than Portuguese in this
city, from 4891 to probably 4100, or a
little less than sixteen per cent. The
places of Americans, English and Germans have been largely taken by the
more able portion of the Portuguese and
half-whites.
Chinese have increased one half in tlie
city, and form the largest single race
element. Japanese have multiplied over
five times, Portuguese have more than
doubled.
Probably over 1000 of those numbered
as Hawaiians, are three-fourths white,
and scarcely to be distinguished from
whites in their qualities. There is thus,
therefore, including Portuguese, a practically white population of 90(10, or onethird of the whole. Those who habitually
use English, or read English newspapers,
may be estimated at 7000.

Political Prisoners Released.
[ From I*. C. Advertiser of Sept. 7.]
At 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Marshal Brown and Major George C.
Potter read the pardons to the political
prisoners at the Oahu jail. The Council
of State pardoned forty-eight men all
told, but fifteen are at present on Hawaii,
working on the Government roads.
Their pardons will go up on the Claudine
next Tuesday. Thirty-three men were
released, including Carl Widemann and
"Cupid." There was no demonstration
of any kind ; the men appeared to be
grateful for their release. They were
addressed by Marshal Brown in a pleasant manner; he gave them some good
advice, and warned them to be more
careful in the future. The following is
the list of the men liberated yesterday :
Kalanianaole, Kaili, Kaae, Beni, Flia,
Aikiki, Henry Edwards, Enoka, Kiliona,
Kaona, Kaloa, William Kekoa, Keawe,
Kawai, Kanoho, Kahooniahele, Kaaihue,

G. Makalena, Moepali, Nahinalau, Pahia, Pehu, M. Rosa, IL C. Ulukou, W.
Widdifield, ('. Widemann.
The following prisoners are on Hawaii:
Kanenu, Hikilea, Keki, Hokii, Kekipi,
Kaohi, Kekaula, Kahalewai, Kalehe, Kaniela, Pat Lane, W. C. Lane, Henry
Mahoe, lolela Kiakahi.
Liliuokalani was given her freedom
also, and is now residing in Washington
Place. At 3:25 o'clock the sentry was
removed from the upper floor of the Xx
ecutive Building; at 5:30 o'clock the exqueen left the building, where she has
been confined since January.
The following is from the livening
liiillctin of the oth :
"The government has made the following disposition in the case of those deported for their views and actions Pied.
Harrison, Chas. Creighton, Fred. Redward and Arthur White may return, but
the two Ashfords, John White. Ritman

There still remain in prison only a few
of the most prominent insurgents, who
will doubtless feel encouraged to hope
that their turn for release ma)' come at
no very distant day.
Death of Thomas W. Everett.

Mr. Everett had been for forty years
influential resident of Maui, and for
a long time Sheriff of that island.

Having no children of his own, he gave
most faithful and judicious paternal care

Benefit of Inspection.
Out of 59 cases of cholera occurring
before the system of inspection got into
full operation, 31 were dying or dead
when reported. Out of 26 cases occur
ring during the inspection, only 4 were
past help. That shows how the inspection quickly stopped the cholera.

The following testimony of U. S.
Minister Denby at Peking should be of

malicious calumny against missionaries
in China
"As far as my knowledge extends, I
can and do say that the missionaries in
China are self-sacrificing; that their lives
:
are pure ; that they are devoted to their
work, that their influence is beneficial to
the natives ; that the arts and sciences
and civilization are greatly spread by
their c (foils ; that many useful Western
books aie translated by them into Chinese that they are the leaders in all
charitable work, giving largely themselves and personally disbursing the
funds with which they are entrusted ;
that they do make converts, and such
converts are mentally benefited by conversion."

- Editor.
The Hawaii Association met in Hilo,
Sept. 19th. Owing to the lack of steamer
communication the meeting was but
thinly attended, only the neighboring
ministers being present. It is reported
that hut three native pastors out of the
eleven settled on the island were in
attendance. The Secretary was unable
to get there.
The Oahu Association was to have
met on the 2nd inst., but owing to the
continuation of" quarantine regulations
the time ofmeeting has been postponed.
The probable date of meeting is the Kith
or possibly the 22nd.
The Kauai Association is advertised
to meet on the 9th, while the Maui
Association is to meet in November.
Rev. S. Sugiyama, late pastor of the
Japanese church at Hilo, has been granted by the Hawaiian Board a year's leave
of absence for the purpose of further
study in the United States. It is his
plan to locate himself in Hartford, Conn.,
and take the course in Sociology in the
Theological Seminary of that city.
This brother, duiing his short stay of
a year and S half in Hilo, has greatly
endeared himself to that people. It is
with regret th.it we p.ut with him, even
if only, as we trust", for a season, Yet
we rejoice in the opportunity afforded
him offurther training in the schools.

tenants and better accommodations are
the requisites.
And yet perhaps it would be unfair to
leave the responsibility of such a condition of things entirely with the landlords
and owners. The entile city bears a
responsibility in the matter. There is on
every street and in every household a
certain necessary contamination that we
can best be rid of only by some systtm

Our citizens must move in the matter as
a whole. The government must come
in with its strong arm. Let the right

who are competent. Let the legislature
take the matter up and pass statutes for
the regulation of tenement houses; not
simply for the harassing of hard hearted
landlords, but also for the protection of
tenants, one against another. The people of these districts are of such diverse
life and training that some one central
power must enter even into their home
life and help regulate it for the convenience ami safety of all.
The Santa Cruz Mountains.
It is said that the dwellers in the vallies of California find it necessary for
their health t.. make periodic visits to the
hills. The system which after a time
gets somewhat devitalized by the excessive heat of the lowlands, especially that
of the interior, is restored again by a short
stay on the heights.
Such retreats as can be found in the
mountains back of Santa Cruz, and
which can be easily reached by the narrow guage railway, are like a new zone
to the dwellers of the plains and fog
stricken shores of the great bay.
There among the hills the air is like
food. It begets vigor. It is full of sunlight and color, and as*in a glass, so in
it, distant landmaiks are brought near
to the eye, and in the azure spaces and
hollows that lie between them there come
to view the unnumbered objects of interest that in the murky atmosphere of
the shore and plain would be unseen.
These heights, so reposeful, invite all
kinds of growths. The mighty redwood
flourishes there, a.id beside it, on the
rich uplands, are to be found the sunniest vine-yards and the most growthful
orchards. There are no fruits in California like these. They stand first in the
market. They are sweeter and more
firm than the fruits ol irrigated lands.

From Notes on Molokai, By Rev. C. M.
Hyde, D.D.
[Krom 1". C Mnrtiew I
Returning by the southern side of
Mauna Loa we came to the site of the
home of Kalaipahoa, the poison god, or
goddess (authorities vary). Some little
distance from it is the temple or heian.
In former times, so runs the tradition,
there grew in that locality a lethal tree
or grove. To pass to the windward of
it so as to inhale the odor wafted from it
was sure death. Birds fell dead on flying over it. The poisonous properties
of the locality were attributed to a particular tree. The minutest scraping of
its wood or bark mixed with any one's
food or drink was sure poison. Native
kahunas or medicine men came from all
over the islands in recent years hunting
around in this locality to find some
pieces of root or wood. Hut the searching has been in vain, as well as that of
recent kings and others to find the
�reasure cave of the Molokai chief. A
chiefess, or kahii, who knew the secret
of the cave, died some years ago, and
the knowledge of its exact locality died
with her.
Between the grove and the heiau of
Kalaipahoa is a bowling green, Ka hua
ulu maika, where in olden times the
Hawaiians congregated from far and
near, for trails of skill at their favorite
spot. The alley? for such it was, is an
artificial depression in the grassy turf,
about two feet wide and MM long, with
a slight descent from west to east. It
is a most slightly place overlooking the
channel between Molokai and Lanai.
The latter island looms up like some
monster moo from the blue waters of the
Pacific. There is an old story of a
famous maika-player of the olden time,
Umikupa of Molokai. A native of Kohala who was a great gamester had lost
all his wealth. Determined to get the
better of those who had choused him out
of his property, he came to Molokai and
sought the aid of Umikupa, who agreed
to befriend him. The two returned to
Kohala and soon the fame of the stranger
from Molokai was spread abroad through
the district. Finally, there came a challenge from theKohala player to a game,
and the stakes were high. The Molokaiplayer's turn came last of all. There
were various forms of the game, and
various shapes of the itlitinaika. The
stones most commonly used were cylindrical; but Umikupa lolled a round stone,
weighty, and of so a true a shape, and
of such equal quality in every part that,
hurled by his strong arm, nothing could
stand before it. His competitors lost
everything they had hazarded, and, after
paying over to the Kohala gambler suffi
cient to make up for hts losses, Umikupa
returned to Molokai with large additions
to his own possessions.
Two other localities in Kaluakoi that
I visited, have interesting legends con
nected with them. One is ka umu oka
peelua. The story goes that a young
Hawaiian maiden, whose parents had
been tenderly careful of her, began to
drop and fade without any perceptible
cause. Such simple remedies as they
used proved inefficacious. Then the
parents had recourse to an old kahuna.
He told them that their daughter had a
lover, who visited her at night ; that
though he appeared like a handsome
young man, he was really a supernatural
being ; in fact he was the sovereign
deity of the caterpillar tribe. The kahuna advised the parents not to treat the
girl harshly, but to tell her they had
found out her secret, and persuade her
to have him drink a loving cup, which
It was a
the kahuna had prepared.
sleeping potion. The girl induced her
lover to drink out of her cup. In consequence, he overslept himself, but woke
before daylight. As soon as the sun is
up, the spirits of the night lose their
magical power, resume their ordinary
form, and may be overcome by mortals.
At the suggestion of the kahuna, a rope
of sweet potato vine had been tied around
one of the ankles of the nocturnal visitor.
As he hurried away to his own abode,
he left a trail behind him. The parents
and friends followed this till at last they
came upon him, a huge caterpillar coiled
up and asleep in a deep round hole.
They began gathering twigs, grass, fire
wood of all kinds, threw it into the hole
and set fire to it. As the fire reached
the vital part, there was a tremendous
explosion, and soon multitudes of the
common Hawaiian caterpillar, peelua,
were seen crawling in every direction,
but no young man came prowling about
the young maiden's home, and she re
covered the vigor and vivacity, which
she had lost while her supernatural visitor was secretly sapping her life.
(October, 1895
assumes a waiting attitude. At a meeting of Presbytery immediately after the
adjournment of the conference of Episcopal bishops in Chicago, the question
was asked, "Are those gentlemen sincere ?" The charitable and beloved Dr.
Noyes arose, and with a bit of heat at
the imputation, said, "Undoubtedly they
are sincere." The reply was, "I do not
believe it—but we shall see." The
negotiations have now brought us to the
determination of that doubt. If the
Episcopalians now refuse to meet our
Assembly on the ground of mutual recognition, it will be a demonstration that
they were not sincere-that they never
meant Christian unity; that they meant
only that we should put our ministry to
dishonor, and profess allegiance and
obedience to the Episcopal hierarchy.
The letter of Pope Leo to the English
people is a much more candid overture.
He hides nothing in phrase. He longs
for the return of the Anglican to the
Roman Church, and he expresses that
desire. This question is not merely a
question of self-respect on the part of
the Presbyterians, it is a question also
of principle and of honor. The Episcopal priesthood are living in unrepented
sin. Il is sinful ecclesistical and spiritual pride, a sin of very grave character,
for them to refuse recognition of true
ambassadors of Christ, who bear the
credentials of the Church and of the
Spirit. Chicago Interior.
Arrogant Sacerdotalism.
It becomes more and more manifest,
as the twentieth century approaches, that
one conllict awaiting us will be a deadly
struggle between sacerdotalism and
evangelical religion. It cannot but be
to thoughtful men a matter of profound
regret that the Anglican Church, wherever her branches extend, is declaring
more and more emphatically for the
sacerdotal form of Christianity. As large
numbers of our Roman Catholic fellow
countrymen are getting restive under it
and fain to assert their independence of
the priest, in his Anglican guise he is
becoming more arrogant and aggressive.
When the day of battle comes, I believe
our Presbyterian Church, with her
strong, compact Puritan and evangelical
faith, will have her part to play, and I
trust, with the blessing of her King and
Head, will not fail to play it.—Dr. Bruce.

Mammon and Heaven.
Sociology is becoming of late a
leading study in theological seminaries. It has come to be felt that
Christian pastors must take no neutral part in the great social questions
of.the day. They must be equipped
to teach sound opinions upon all
questions involving duty and righteousness. Sociology deals chiefly
with the relations of wealth and
poverty. It seeks to learn how to
mitigate and remedy the great evils
which attend a faulty distribution
of wealth, making a few immensely
rich, and H multitude miserablypoor.
We are Dot learned in Sociology.
As a science it does not appear yet
to. have attained great exactness.
Many mighty minds are laboring to
develop it. Churchmen ami statesmen both are wrestling with its
problems. But we feel moved to
write a tew words to our rich men,
of whom we have a number among
us". Some ot them are truly good
men and devout Christians. The
desire rises warmly that they may
so conduct their lives in their pos-
session of earthly wealth that they
may also have a noble share of those
riches which belong to the coming
life, but to the attainment of which
mundane wealth is quite unfavorable. While it may reasonably be
hoped that some of our rich men
will rank well among the high placed
saints in heaven, it is only too sadly
apparent that others are miserably
handicapped, and have poor prospect of reaching that place at all.
Our Lord and Master had tew
encouraging words for rich men.
His hopeful, cheering words were
for lhe poor. He held out to the
rich small prospect in the kingdom
ol God. None at all. in fact, unless
they unsparingly and cheerfully
distributed of their wealth to the
needs til their brethren and of the
Devotion to
Lord's kingdom.
wealth, to acquisition, to accumulation was Christ's abhorrence. Cupidity, covetousness. greed for gain,
was deadly sin to be forsaken. "Ye
cannot serve God and mammon,"
was His lesson.
And yet Christianity recognizes
a worthy possession and administration of wealth in humble stewardship for God, and generous, faithful
employment of it for the needs of
God has given to
the kingdom.
some men special talent for developing sources of wealth in ways that
contribute grandly to the general
good, while they enrich the conductor. To any who have come honorably and worthily into the possession of wealth, Paul directs the
through
Timothy :
exhortation
"Charge them that are rich in this
present world, that they be not
high-minded, nor have their hope
set on the uncertainty of riches, but
on God, who giveth us richly all
things to enjoy; that they do good,
that they be rich in good works,
that they be ready to distribute,
willing to communicate; laying up
in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that
Number 9.
they may lay hold on the life which
is life indeed."
Yes, that life of heaven is " life
indeed." It is the only true and
blessed living while on earth, to be
in communion and fellowship with
God. The life which rich fools
lead is vanity and ashes —the life of
yachts, racing, gambling, sensual
pleasure—of display, style, gayety,
" society " —of palaces, equipages,
millionaire grandeur. Multitudes
of poor men are rich in the precious
secrets of divine love, while the
wealthy waste their lives in vexation
of spirit. But those wealthy ones
may also become rich in God's joy
and peace—by giving all up to God
and holding all wealth for His
service.
Dr. Hyde contributes in this number an admirable description of the
leper settlement on Molokai, which
he has often visited on errands of
spiritual and social help.
Large Gifts for Education.
Through a San Francisco paper a
fact has escaped from the secrecy
in which it has been held, that Hon.
Charles R. Bishop was preparing to
donate a very large amount of
money for educational and benevolent uses in these Islands. It is
certainly near or over three-fourths
of a million. "May this generous
giver be unspeakably enriched in
his inward spiritual experience, thus
being one of the truly rich.
Greig and Marshall Pardoned.
\V. H. C. Greig and Louis Marshall
were in Oahu Prison under sentences of
fifteen years and JftOOO fine for treason,
having been officers in tht rebel force in
the action of January 7th. They are
quite youthful. Both have been sick
with typhoid in the Queen's Hospital.
The President has pardoned them on
condition of leaving the countiy. Both
sailed last week for San Krancisco.
Their pardon appeared to be necessary
to the mental courage needed for re-
covery.

their lives. Only constant diligence and
untiling energy can accomplish what
needs to be done.
Since 1887, when the Gibson Kala
kaua period of misrule came to an end,
the administration of affairs at the set
dement has been conducted on better
business principles. The result is less
ol dissatisfaction and complaint from
tin lepers. The system of water supply
might have been better in some few
particulars but it is a systematic supply of good water. 'The virulence of
the disease is apparently abating. When
it first bioke out, five years formed the
limit of duration of the disease. There
are some lepers who- have been at the
settlement 25 years. Both forms, the
anesthetic and the suppurating, are
about equally prevalent. Success in
dealing with the disease so far seems to
have been on the line of building up the
general health of the lepers, rather than
in killing off the germs, vegetable not
animal, the ho, tilt lepra', of this specific
disease. A Chinese remedy, Hoanang,

The morality of the settlement would
be improved by such legislation as
would facilitate through the the Attorney

Cable Contract Ratified.
I
Ith August, the
Legislature
made by the Government with Col. Zephamah S. Spalding,
for laying 'Telegraphic Cables. Much
hope is felt that this contract will result
in securing to us telegraphic communication with San Francisco in a little
over three years.
The leading features of the contract
are succinctly as follows 'This Government grants to Col. Spalding the exclusive privilege for twenty years of landing
upon Hawaiian shores a Cable from any
point on the North American Continent,
such exclusive right not to prevent foreign governments from landing cables
for other than commercial purposes.
'This Government also promises to pay
an annual subsidy ol forty thousand
dollars. They also grant exemption
from Taxes, Duties ami Port charges to
Cable Ship, with right of free occupation
of Government lands, right of way across
them, and right of Eminent I lomain toappropriate property needed for Cable uses.
The Contractor on his part undertakes
to lay a Cable connecting San Francisco
and Honolulu 2500 miles long with 400
pounds of copper to the mile. Also
Inter island Cables with land connections complete, all to be in foil operation
by December Ist, I8«.»8.
Rates shall not exceed one dollar per
word to San Francisco. Official messages
of the Hawaiian Government transmitted free up to the amount of its subsidy.
'The Inter island lines may be assumed
by this Government after one year free
of charge, except for cost of land lines,
payment of subsidy continuing the same.
The Contractor has deposited $25,000
in Hawaiian Government Bonds in guarantee of fulfillment of his contract, but
this guaranty is to be returned to him if
he chooses to cancel the contract at any
time before May Ist, 1897. It is understood that all depends upon his being
able to secure from the U. S. Congress
an adequate additional subsidy, say
$200,000 per annum, to make the enterprise sufficiently paying to secure certain
capital which has been conditionally

promised.
It may be said that this contract opens
a far more definite prospect for the early
laying of a cable than any other project
yet presented. All will depend upon the
action of Congress in assisting the enterprise. Tht losses and interruptions to
business consequent upon the present
Cholera alarm, which the proposed cables
would have obviated, are estimated to
much exceed the $40,000.

History of the Honolulu Cholera Alarm.
This city has just passed through a
week of severe tension, fearing that a
reported presence of Asiatic cholera
might become epidemic. The earlier
history of the case is best given in an
official statement of the Hawaiian Board
of Health to the United States ConsulGeneral FJlis Mills, dated August J Ist
" The steamer Belgic arrived al this
port August 9th, eleven and one-half
days from Yokohama, having on board
from that port MM Chinese immigrants.
She reported three deaths on the voy
age, giving as causes of death, pneu
monia in one case, and heart disease in
:
two cases.
" The Chinese were landed in ijuar
Sntine, one man being sick with gastio
intestinal disturbance at the time. He
died the day after being landed. Two
other cases of gastio intestinal disturb
ance developed the day the hist case
died. Of these one recovered, and the
third, an old man, died of exhaustion
four days later. One young Chinaman
became sick the third day attei landing,
and died the following day.
"All these cases presented the symp
toms of gastro enteritis, anil were considered cholera morbus.
"No other suspicious cases have
developed since the last case,which died
August 17th.
cases of cholera morbus, with
death, have developed in Iwilei,
Honolulu, since Sunday, the IHth.
-William O. Smith,
Board of Health."
President
"

one
No other cases of sickness of an\
kind afterwards appeared on (Quarantine
is.and. The four cases above named
did not present the " rice water " symp
torn of cholera, all the excreta being
colored. At no time were they thought
to be cases of Asiatic cholera. It is
farther proof that they were not such,
that among the remaining s:tft Chinese
immigrants no more cases appeared.
After the above official repoi t was
written, a sixth case of the disease ap
peared, which proved fatal. 1 his victim,
likfe the other five, was from Iwilei, but
was attacked on Nuuanu street, and
died at a place opposi is the Fagle
House.
Two more cases appeared on the 'J-lth,
one a man at Iwilei, who recovered, and
a young man living on Cjueen street,

appeared since the 2Jth.
All of these eight cases, including
three deaths, presented what the mcdi
cal men of Honolulu have agreed in
calling marked symptoms of Asiatic
cholera. All were native Hawaiians.
All except the last one' had participated
in a luau feast at Iwilei, at which it is
believed that unsound horseflesh was
served.
Cultures of bacilli were made, and the
presence of the " comma bacillus" in
the excreta of the patients at Iwilei was
proved to exist. Nearly all of the Honolulu physicians were agreed in this. All
with two exceptions were fully satisfied
of the presence of Asiatic cholera, and
their verdict was given to the public on
the il'd.
Owing to the anxiety previously
created by the thiee deaths at the
quarantine station, the utmost caie was
taken in isolating ami disinfecting the
cases at Iwilei, which is the western
suburb of the city beyond Oabu Prison,
inhabited almost exclusively by native
Hawaiians

Our own personal feelings aie stiongly

no doubt that such aie also the feelings
of the members of the Executive. It is
only a question of what is consistent
with the public safety. Feihrtps it IS
now safe to set at libcity nil the men

It is quite possible that those people
have learned a thorough lesson, and that
they will have no disposition to renew

is entirely one of public safety. It is nut

which was started at Honolulu during

The students of that school not only set

for it. David Malo wrote May 22, 1534,
sixty one years ago, a most Striking
production in Hawaiian verse in memory of the honored Regent, Queen Kaahmnanu, who died, beloved by all the
good of Hawaii, in June 183 J.
This poem—and poem is a tame
word to call it by—is named a kanikan,
the set or crystallized voice of grief.

might express it. It is weird and
shadowy, mysterious in its allusions, in
the highest degree poetic, and revealing
what we know so little of the great
human soul that grew to meditate, antl
feel and imagine so much in the pagan
solitudes of Hawaii, before we brought
any of our vaunted civilization and light
to these islands. The transition from
the pagan opening to the Christian
closing of this poem is very striking.
I do not pretend to be able to really
translate this production. No true
poetry can be translated. The flavor,
the aroma of it is gone when it steps
from its original to a language foreign
to the life that called it into being.

after death.
Translated by Curtis J. Lyons.
Ceasing from storm, the sea grows
calm and glassy. Like a puff of wind
flitting over it, so her spirit glides away
to the far regions beyond Kahiki. (The
word for far away shores.) She flies;
averting her eyes, she fades away in the
wild mists of the north-land, the deep,
dark, mysterious north.
She has gone from us, to the courts
of Kane, treading royally the redstreaked path of the rosy dawn; the
misty, broken road to Kanaloa.
An ebbing tide flows out, laden with
departing wealth. The chief is turning
away, sinking to sleep, drifting away.
She fled at the first gleam of the dawn,
at the faint ending of the cut-off night.
Then was her departure.
Oh our beloved one our departed
one ! our bemoaned one !
The heart beats tumultously; it
throbs within us; it strains us; it breaks
the walls around it.
Oh the pain, the breaking up, the
rushing of tears, the falling of the flowers scattered of grief.
We are borne away, carried away,
the very depths of us are torn from us
by this passionate grief.

As many of our friends are aware, a

solve the problem of sufficient room for

its departments, notwithstanding that

A building adjoining the Mission

us with splendid quarters for Miss

Japanese Report.

Froebel holds that every age has a
completeness of its own and that no age
can be perfected without each preceding stage of development having been
completed. Whether all the Japanese
contributors fully comprehend this or
not, they certainly have shown their ap
preeiation of their kindergartner's ser
vices by giving her thirteen instead of
twelve months' salary this year, and byproviding her an assistant. They appreciate the influence of kindergarten.
In the short vacation one mother but
spoke for others when she anxiously
asked when the kindergarten would begin again. Our assistant brings her
child with others daily way from Ewa.
Several parents begged to have their
children stay thr ugh the year, although
properly they should have left by January. On the other hand, just as the
children have grown helplul, the parents, like the Arabs, " steal silently
away," and, lo ! we suddenly find our
selves minus our little helpers ; but no
doubt some seed goes with them.
Some of the children are very interNew
esting. One day, playing the
Moon " song, I asked them to guess its
name
One promptly made little horns
for the new moon. Another day, one
of the committee was in and made use
of her diamond ring to illustrate the
"diamond in the sky," whereupon a
little fellow, pointing to the jet in her
bonnet asked if that was a diamond too.
Miss Gulick and Miss O/awa have a
class of from twelve to eighteen kindergarten children Sundays.
Mis. Sasakura began a kindergarten
at Papaikou last year, but was obliged
to discontinue on account of close
quarters and ill heaKh. Manager Goodale has now promised a house for the
mission. As for results, Mrs. Sasakura
writes: "Some of the mothers say.
My children seem to play kindergarten.
They remember the names of colors.
They can count from one to ten easily,
and can build houses, gates, tables,etc
very handsomely.' And now the teach
er is well and willing to work for them."
At Kula also there are children enough
for a kindergarten, only no means.
Oh, if the rich might make such sac
nfices as do the poor, then there might
"
'
be a kindergarten wherever one is needed. General Armstrong said that the
greatest blessings came to his work
through the offerings of the poor. A

Empress of Japan, too, is a shining
example of one who saves even to cents
out of her private purse for her benefactions. The cents, most of all, tell
the tale of thought and care for others."
Shall we, in Hawaii, do less ? It would
be but to obey the " call of the Cross,"
and then our land might indeed be a
world's model, blooming with childcultivating children, the
gardens
sweetest flowers of all ; and they are
but the parents of the nation.
"A little child shall lead them." The
work for the little ones at' Emma Hall
has certainly led the janitor to contribute generously, and has also no doubt
been a means of bringing him into the
church. Both church and school are in
excellent condition, the former having a
membership of eighty six (fifty-nine received this year) and the latter sixty-six.
Mr. Sugiyama, of Hilo, writes of
being discouraged because so many of
the older church members have moved
away. " But," he says, " the prospect
is not dark, and we trust God Himself
will lead us in a right way. The Sunday school is a great attraction to young
men who like to learn English, and
through this instrumentality many are
led to Christ. On the church roll are
260 names, but only 90 are they who are
seen now in Hilo and among plantaMessrs. Sokabe and
tions around.
Sasakura are doing excellent work in
their respective fields.'
Mr. Okabe found in Paauilo one qf

uniting with the church he went away,
and has devt loped into a staunch Christian. In examining a candidate for our

Professor Arthur C. Alexander, Ph. D.
Our young friend Arthur, son of our
eminent historian, Prof. YV. D. Alexander, earned a Doctorate of Philosophy
this year at Y'ale University, and has
arrived at Berkeley to occupy the chair
of Assistant Professor of Physics in
California University. He has been
for some years an instructor in the
Electrical department of Vale Scientific
School. Our Honolulu boys abroad
continue to do us credit. Arthur Alexander's children have a treble missionary descent, derived from Rev. A.
Bishop, Rev. D. Baldwin and Rev. YY'.

Chinese Mission Schools.
The closing exercises of these schools
took place July ">th at the Chinese Y. M.
C. A., which was prettily decorated in
Chinese style. On the program were
26 literary and musical numbers, which
showed good work on the part of the
teachers. Miss Stetson's work in the
Chinese Hote'-Street Kindergarti n gained great credit. Mrs. McCully Higgins
pledged herself on the spot for its support another year. This is a separate
school fiom the excellent Chinese Kindergarten conducted under the church
by the Misses Snow and Kinney.
Y. M. C. A. Addition.
We are glad to repoit as nearly completed the fine addition recently made
to the Y. M. C. A. building in this city.
A large and loft)' gymnastic hall occupies the basement and lower story of the
addition. Above this are several rooms
for various uses. In the rear of the
original building have been added bath
rooms.

No Electric Railway Franchise.
The Legislature has refused to grant
the franchise for an electric railway in
Honolulu, which was desired by a Y'ancouver company. A leading objection
was unwillingness to crowd certain narrow, but important streets, with the trolley poles and rails, as would be necessary on account of all the leading streets
being already exclusively granted to the
old tramway company. It is felt that
there must be but one tramway system,
and that under the control of the Government. The whole subject is put into
the hands of a committee to report at
the regular session next February. This
seems wise.

RECORD OF EVENTS.
On the 2d, a very agreeable excursion
was taken by seventeen gentlemen, rep
resenting as many differeent journals of
Honolulu, issued in five languages.
Among them were H. M. YVhitney,
Bishop YVillis and the editor of The
Friend. The run of thirty-three miles
was made in l**o minutes, and over two
hofirs were spent at YY'aianae plantation,
where Manager Ahrens hospitably trundled us around his fields for over ten
miles on cane cars, visiting the pumping
works, where 2,260,004) gallons of water
are daily discharged from six artesian
wells to water 400 acres of sugar cane.
Before returning to town a choice
lunch was served in the parlor car, and
resolutions were adopted, thanking the
0. R. & L. Co., Manager Ahrens, and
Agent FYed C. Smith for our pleasant
entertainment.

Rev. 0. /'. Emerson, - - Editor.
Rev. O. H. Gulick and wife will go to
Hilo to spend six weeks there.
Rev. (). P. Emerson has leave of absence for a few weeks, and has gone to
the Coast for a change.
Plans are under consideration to begin and maintain preaching services at
Pearl City and Ewa Plantation.
Rev. C. M. Hyde expects to spend
a
large part of the month of
August on Mulokai, pari of the time at
the Leper Settlement.
Rev. A. Y. Soares, of the Portuguese
Mission, is planning to spend the early
part of August in Kona. We hope that
he will find Opportunities of service for
the Master in that pleasant district, tilling up so rapidly with new settlers, at
traded by the possible piolita'hlencss of
coffee culture in that region.
Rev. Jim Okabe has gone to Chicago
to spend a year in the Study of applied
Christianity. There is no better location
for such investigation than the Lake
City with its mixed population, varying
social conditions, and earnest Christian
workers.
Unfettered by the traditions
of the pasl. new conditions call for newmethods. The Great truths of the Gospel are still the eternal principles ol
social as ol individual regeneration, but
the forms ol application vary with every
new generation.
Wilcox ll,ill, built at the expense of
Hon. ('.. N. Wilcox for tin V, M. C. A.
at the Leper Settlement, was dedicated
Jul)- 18th with appropriate services. It
is proposed to use this large and com
modions building. I'm such educational
as well as religious work, as may properly be earned on by the Y. M. C. A.
The title ol the building is vested in the
Hawaiian Hoard. Three trustees, lesi
dent at Kalaupapa, have been appointed
as a local board of control.
Rev. Douglas P. I'irnie, Pastor of the
Central Union Church, has gone to
Maui for his vacation.
The pulpit has
been supplied by Rev. Kenneth Duncan,
whose sermons have been greatly appreciated by the summer congregations.
While many ot the membership of the
Church have left the city for various
country retreats dining the hot season,
the man)' tourists who have taken this
time to .visit the Hawaiian Islands, add
perceptibly to the congregation. We
hope that all of our Christian people,
who have an opportunity while away
from Honolulu to come into friendly
relations with those living in the outer
districts, will take the cpportunity to
render such helpful Christian service as
is possible in their new surrounding.
Especially would we ask for our Ha-
waiian pastors, sorely tried and poorly
supported, such sympathy and co-operation as may he practicable and advisable.
The treasury of the Board, which
was worse than empty at the close ot
the year, has not long been left in such
a deplorable condition.
One of the
Hoard's old friends and helpers has
come once more to its assistance with a
generous donation, which for the time
being will enable the Treasurer to meet
some of the most pressing obligations.
The question of duty in this matter of
stewardship of the Lord's money, is one
of increasing urgency. The increasing
success of Christian work necessitates
increasing expenditures. As the world
gets better, the Church gets a brighter
outlook, and wider scope for its energies.
There are now fourteen different depart
ments of the work of the American
Hoard. The work of the Hawaiian
Hoard has widened out, and it needs for
its proper development a larger constituency to contribute to its support,
and take a personal interest in the administration of its affairs. The city of
Honolulu has had a steady, wholesome
growth in population and resources. We
bespeak for the Hawaiian Board its
share in the sympathies and co operation of our growing community.
The American Hoard has been asked
by its missionaries in Japan to send a
deputation to that mission field to study
the situation on the spot. The chief
matter of difficulty is the method and
measure of cooperation between the
Japanese Churches and the American
missionaries. Some lessons of piactical value might be learned if the depu
tation would spend a little time at the
Islands on their way to Japan. Nothing
definite as yet has reached Honolulu in
regard to the plans of the deputation.
It will consist of Rev. J. L. Barton, D.
D., one of the Secretaries; Mr. W. P.
Ellison, of the Prudential Committee,
Chairman of the Sub-Committee on the
Morning Star; Rev. A. H. Bradford, D.
D., of Mountclair, N. J., and Rev. J. G.
Johson, D. I)., Pastor of the New lingland Church, Chicago. The deputation
is expected to leave Boston early in
September.
A letter from S. P. Kaaia, Tapiteuea,
Gilbert Islands, reports his work in the
southern part of that island as making
progress. Light day schools are maintained, an important work that is urged
upon the people by the British Commissioner. Courts have been established ;
judges, sheriffsand policemen appointed.
The Catholic priests are busy telling the
people that Calvinism is an evil and a
fraud, no way to heaven, Bingham's
translation is not trustworthy and incorrect. They take away the Bibles that
have been distributed, telling the people
that they will have a correct one byeand-bye. They promise the people that

if -they make their home on the Islands,
there will be plenty of rainfall. The
families of the Hawaiian missionaries
were in good health at the date of the
letter, April Hth.
Dr. Abbott Rebukes T. G. Shearman.
In the Outlook of June 15th, the Rev.
Ur. Lyman Abbott pronounces a very
calm and judicial condemnation of Mr.
T. G. Shearman's violent attack on the
Republic of Hawaii, contained in his recent pamphlet entitled, "The Hawaiian
Despotism." Dr. Abbott shows an intimate acquaintance with his subject.
We append a part of his remarks.
" The present republic is not founded
upon universal suffrage ; those who
think suffrage a natural right will think
it founded on injustice; but Mr. Shearman does not accurately represent the
Constitution. Voting for Representatives is not conditioned on property
qualifications; and ability to earn $600 a
year, which is required from voters for
Senators, will not strike those who believe in property qualifications at all as
extravagantly high." *
*
"The fatal defect in Mr. .Shearman's
monograph is his failure to take account
of the most significant fact in the recent
history of Hawaii, namely, that the
Cjueen announced her purpose by a coup
d'etat to set aside the Constitution she
had sworn to support, and to substitute
therefor, by her own will, a Constitution
which would leave the liberties and
properties, if not the lives, of her subjects practically under her despotic will.
It certainly did nothing to make this
COUp d'etat less odious that it was partly
in the interest of, and for its success
ceitainlv dependent upon, an opium
and a lottery ring. If the American
subjects of her Majesty had submitted
to this royally planned revolution, they
would have proved themselves unworthy
to be the descendants of Cromwell and
Hampden and Washington and Hancock. They met it, as they ought to
have done, by a counter-revolution, and
she paid the penalty of her unsuccessful
attempt by being dethroned. Not only
the authority but the responsibility for
establishing a government which would
secure order, peace, and protection, devolved by this revolution upon the revolutionists, and they rightly assumed
that responsibility. It would have been
foolish for them either directly or indirectly to have given back the scepter
into the hands of the Cjueen from whom
they had taken it. In our judgment,
Mr. Shearman's statesmanship would
have done exactly this. The revolutionists were bound to maintain inviolate
the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and if passing authority out of its hands into the hands of a
population unfitted to exercise final control would hazard those rights, the revo-

A great function of a railway is to
open to development the country
through which it passes. This it does,
first, by affording easy transportation of
products to a market; and secondly, by
opening to public observation the possibilities of sections hitherto concealed
from notice. This is the case with the
Waianae district of some sixty square
miles. Now for the first time, by the
extension of the Oahu railway for filteen miles, are the people of Honolulu
finding out what valuable but undeveloped hinds lie on the further side of
that long mountain ridge beyond Fwa.
A ride of thirty-five minutes from Kwa
Mill now carries one beyond the center
of that district to the very successful
Waianae Plantation of about WW acres
of cane.
This plantation occupies the land at
the mouths of the Waianae and Makaha
valleys, which together constitute about
one-third of the entire district, and
which have their capabilities developed perhaps nearly to the limit they
are likely to reach in any near future.

The Annual Meetings sofull of interest,
are over. The Morning Star has gone
upon her great gospel errands. Our
schools are closed or closing for their
summer vacation. A general time of
vacation is beginning ofrelaxation from
the more arduous labors of the year.
But work is not to stop. Nor is vigilance to relax against all the various
forms in which danger threatens body
and soul. Mothers will go on, guarding
by day and night their babes against the
maladies of summer as they have done
against those of thi cooler and damper
season. And so while Churches and
Christians may not for these few weeks
combine in active organized aggressive
work, it behooves us all to remain vigilantly on guard against the never resting
attacks of the Adversary of souls, both
for our own safety, and for that of
others. We need to keep our souls full
and warm with the spirit of the Lord
Jesus, that heavenly influence may spontaneously emanate from us. This will
not impair our recreation or diminish the
enjoyment we experience. Far more
invigorating and wholesome will be the

Rev. D. P. Birnie Installed.
On Wednesday evening, June ftth, in
Central Union Church, were held the
services of Installation of the Rev. Doug
las Putnam Biinie as the Pastor of that
church. A congregation of about three
hundred persons was present, including
a large number of Hawaiian pastors and
delegates. The services opened by the
reading of the minutes of the Council as
follows:
"The Council assembled at .'1 p. m.

Mr. W. W. Hall, clerk of the church,
read the vote of the church to call the
Rev. D. P. Biinie as their pastor.
Hon. A. P. Judd read the call of the
church sent to Mi. Birnie to become
their pastor.
Mr. Hall read the reply of Mr. Birnie,
dated Jan. ill, 1*95, accepting the call.
These papers relating to the call were
accepted by the council as satisfactory.
The Rev. Douglas P. Biinie then presented his testimonials, which were read
by the scribe, viz:
The resolution of the church in Allston, Massachusetts, highly commending
his record as their pastor; also
The minutes of the Council approving
of his dismissal from that pastorate in
order to become a pastor in Honolulu.
Mr. Birnie's testimonials were approved by tho council, which then proceeded
to the personal examination of the pastor
elect, as to his theological opinions and
religious experience. He read as his
creed the creed adopted by the National
Council of 188:1. Various questions
were asked and answered.
Mr. Birnie's statements were accepted
by the council as satisfactory. The
action of the Central Union Church in
calling him to be iheir pastor, was approved, and it was voted to proceed in
the evening at 7:30 p. m. with ihe services
of installation.
The minutes of the council were read
and approved; and the council was
ordered to be dissolved at the close of
the services of installation.

Geography—Our general field is the
Central Caroline Islands, comprising the
Ruk lagoon, the Mortlock group, and
other islands scattered about between
and west of these. The name tstoll is
given to the islands here which consist
of a ring of coral reef surrounding a
lagoon, with islands here and there on
the reef and also in the lagoon.
Ruk—has a large lagoon with a mean
diameter of 2ft miles, in which theie are
about twenty high islands. The mission
station is on Ucla, a beautiful, high isl
and probably 15 miles in circumference,
with a diversified surface of high hills
and numerous brooklets, covered with a
thick growth of tall grass and weeds and
in some places with woods. It is situated near the western side of the reef in
lat. 7° 26' N. and long. 150° 02' E., and
has a population of 1000, native estimate.
The American Board has about 30 acres
of land on the western side of the island,
two good dwelling-houses, a modest
though very pretty seminary building for
the girls' school, a cottage, a building
for the boys' school, and a few other
smaller buildings for mission use. The
location, selected by Mr. Logan, is a fine
one, perhaps could not be bettered, for
although it is not in the central part of
the lagoon, it is near the north passage
and thus convenient for outside work,
and near enough to the other islands oi
the lagoon.
The Mortlock Group consists of
three atollsand seven islets. The largest,
Lukunor, is in lat. 5° 21' N. and long.
153° 28' E., and is 170 miles south east
of Uela. All the islands of the Mortlock
groups are on the reefs and low, rising
only a few feet above the level of the sea,
and some of thtm are swept over by the
sea when running very high. The following table will show the situation of
each island and its population.

Peace with 200 people, and a number of
uninhabited islets; and 14 miles farther
on in the same direction is Namo, in
lat. 7" N. and long. 152" 33* E., a low
island in the midst of the sea without a
lagoon, a product of some freak, one
must suppose, of the builders, which
must have separated from their fellows
long before the flood. It is a small isl
and with a population of 34M, and is 40
miles from the southern |>assage in the
reef ol the Ruk lagoon. Thus we have

of more than 30 islands, and 20,000
people. There are still other islands
lying to the west of us, but as I have not
visited them I will not speak of them in
detail now.
Products.—The products of these
islands, though abundant, are limited

is a very wholesome food,
which grows on large trees, is prepared
for eating by roasting or cooking on
stones, and is the staple article of food.
It is gathered during the harvest and put
into underground cellars or pits and kept
through the year. The coconut, also
abundant and widely scattered, is the
principal article of commerce,and is also
used for food. The milk is very delicious
if the nut is gathered before it is too ripe,
and is about the only thing we drink
when we visit the low lands.
The taro, resembling our potato, is
also a wholesome food; unlike the breadfruit and coconut, it must be planted in
carefully prepared beds.
Then there is the pandanus, unimpor
t "'• aa food, and bananas in Ruk and
some of the low islands.
Manufactures.
In the Mortlock
Islands they manufacture a very good
cord and rope from the coconut husk,
and a kind of cloth made from the fibre
of a species of hibiscus. In Ruk they
do not make the cord ; but they weave
the cloth and they prepare a kind of paint
for the body which is used in the dance,
by warriors going to battle, and by dudes
and belles generally, and is sold extentensively in the islands. They also make
rude wooden dishes, and various kinds
of ornaments for the head, belts made of
shells and beads, hoes, and adzes out of
the bone of the turtle's back. The only
musical instrument is a nose flute which
is limply a long hollow reed, and the
performer, blowing into one end with his
nose, and using his fingers on the other
end, is able to obtain considerable variety

locks the eaves of the roof are set on the
ground; the gables are boarded or thatched up ; only a very small hole is left for
ingress and egress, and the houses are
very dark and dismal inside, besides
being close and unhealthy. The people
seem to abhor privacy. Several families
will often be found in one room, with no
partitions or screens between them, the
place of each family being marked by
their mats which are spread on the
ground. Great evils of course arise from
this custom, and the social probltm is
made very difficult of solution where
people live together so promiscuously.
The cooking is usually done in an outbuilding, in Ruk by the men, but in the
Mortlocks by the women.
Dress.—The native dress is a loincloth for the men, and a short skirt for
the women. Since the coining of the
missionaries, the men and w men have
begun to wear a long shoulder garment
which greatly improves their appearance,
and the teachers and some ol the Chris
tians put on our full dress. The climate
being warm, the people take clothing
reluctantly ; but there is a growing sentiment among Christians in favor of wear
ing our clothing. Sometimes they get
very curious combinations. For instance,
the deacon of the church at Losap, had
on an old faded pair of blue denim pants,
a long dirty shirt which he wore outside
his pants, and ovei this a little white
duck jacket. A woman who had been
approved to come into the church at
Etal, had no shoulder garment on, and
I told the teacher that he must tell her
that it would not do for her to stand up
without a shoulder garment. She was
equal to the emergency,and when 1 called
her name she came forward with a heavy
coverlet wrapped about her shoulders.
The poor thing nearly melted before we
got through with the service, but she
endured it bravely.
Marriage.— Marriage is recognized
but the tie is very loose. It is very
common for one party to desert the other
fora trivial cause and remarry .and among
the heathen there is very little social
restraint. The people are usually kind,
well-disposed and little given to committing depredations.
Appearance.—In appearance they are
not disagreeable; the face is round, broad
across the cheeks and tapering toward
the top. They are narrow across the
cranium, although there are exceptions
to this; the brain is not largely developed.
In this respect they differ strikingly
from the Chinese.
Religious Beliefs.—They believe
that there is one divine being whom they
call Anulap, the great Spirit, who dwells
in the highest heavens apart from all
other beings, surrounded by his own
majesty and glory. He has little to do
with the affairs of men, and is mainly
concerned with himself and lost in selfcontemplation. With him, however,
there dwell two lesser though very great
divinities—one good and the other bad.

The Hiram Bingham.—Capt. Walkup.
Rev. A. C W.tlkup has just paid Honolulu another visit with his little gasoline schooner. He arrived June sth, and
sailed the 17th for the Gilbert Islands,
having visited San Francisco for repairs
to boat and machinery after two or three
years cruising. On his voyage up, made
as usual in higher latitude for the sake
of better wind, he encountered one severe
gale, in which his little craft nearly
foundered. Mr. Walkup takes back two
white helpers sent by an Independent
Missionary' Society at Los AngelesMessrs, dc la Porte and Anderson. He
hopes to find their aid serviceable in resisting the aggressions of the Catholic
priests, who do not scruple forcibly to
occupy native Protestant Church premi
ses, and whom the native catechists and
pastors are too timid to resist.
The Hiram Bingham has done grand
service in giving Mr. Walkup a thorough
and active superintendence of the whole
field.
Central Union Sunday School Picnic.
This was held on Kamehameha Day,
in the pleasant grounds of Oahu College. About 1200 people were present,
including the Portuguese Sunday
schools. Free transportation was provided per tramcar from the church steps.
The children began going out at 8 a.m.,
and the last came in at 4 p m. Arrangements for comfort and pleasure were
most successful. Games in great variety were constantly in progress. Besides the light soft shade of the algaroba
trees, there was a large tent. Refreshments were served from I I to 2. The
supplies comprised 1500 bottles of soda
water and ginger ale, 110 gallons of
lemonade and ice water, 15 gallons of
milk for the coffee, I calf, 60 tongues, 8
hams, 90 quarts of baked beans, 25
large bowls of salad, 10) loaves of cake,
an unlimited number of rolls and loaves
of bread, sandwiches and 100 watermelons. The provisions were of the
choicest quality, and were served on
1200 wooden plates.
All this furnished a strong counterattraction to withdraw the young from
the horse races at the Park, with their
demoralizing influences.
Honolulu has just enjoyed the rare
experience of a tour dc force of thought
and oratory, such as is given by the
famous Christian philosopher and lecturer, Joseph Cook, L.L.D., on Thursday
evening last, June 27th. Dr. Cook spoke
for two solid hours, with his well-known
unremitting energy and intensity, in the
Y. M. C. A. hall, to an audience of over
200 people. He gave his lecture upon
"The Seven Modern Wonders." It was
a boon to have our souls so uplifted in
theperception and thought of the wonders
of God's working in this marvellous age

Mr. William R. Castle has been commissioned by this Government as Hawaiian Minister to Washington.
He
expects to leave in August.
A strong opposition was organized to
prevent the confirmation of Mr. Castle
by the Senate, which (ailed of success.
No reasons were publicly specified. He
was strongly supported. The native
element favored him, as being sympathetic with them.
Mr. Castle was second Commissioner
in the Thurston Embassy sent to Washington in January, 1893, which negotiated a treaty ol annexation with
President Harrison He has for many
years enjoyed a large legal practice in
Honolulu.
C. C. Moreno Frothing.
He tells the emperor of Japan that his
subjects here are under plantation overseers whom he thus describes :
"Most of them are hoodlums from the
Barbary coast in San Francisco, who
are armed with all kinds of arms like
brigands and all of them are members of
the missionary confraternity uf Honolulu, which is lor Hawaii's calamity
worse than leprosy or cholera morbus."
In his next spasm he says:
"All missionary sons in Hawaii are
modern torquemados, vandals, an.una
ses, vampires, tyrants, greedy malefactors and not honest republicans."
Moreno was the Italian vagabond
whom Kalakaua made his Premier in
1880, and who remained in office three
days. He ought to edit The Hawaiian.
He would make it less d 11.

Evangelical Association.
The general association of the Hawaiian Evangelical churches began its
annual meeting in Kaumakapili church

tired on account ol age and infirmity.
The Hawaiian Board have adopted the
recommendation of the Association to
send Mr. Mitchell, and he sailed on the
Morning Star with Ins family. Mr.
Mitchell is a native ol Mauritius, a man
of imich intelligence, and a line musician.
He is better adapted than a
Polynesian for resisting the coercive
methods of proselyting adopted by the
French priests, whose language he
speaks. Mrs. Mitchell was born in the
Gilbert Islands, being a daughter of
Rev. D. B. Mahoe, a veteran Hawaiian
missionary, who lost the use ol his right
arm by a bullet through the shoulder
from a Tarawan savage at Apaiang.
The question of increasing .the contributions of the churches to the treasury
of the Hawaiian Board was discussed.

by Pastor Birnie. ot the Central Union
church, and Miss Chamberlain, their
delegate ; also by Rev. (). H. Gulick
respecting work among Japanese, and

fund for Mr. Soares' new church.
Reports were made about Kawaiahao

specting the Kamehameha School by
Rev Dr. Hyde ; and concerning the
North Pacific Institute, by Dr. Hyde
and his associate instructor, Rev. John
Leadingham, who has added to his
labors the instruction of two Portuguese
students, who have begun a course of
study lo qualify themselves for pastoral
work among their own people. Pastors
were urged to seek out young men for
the course of study at the Insiitute.
On Thursday, the 13th, the first hour
was devoted to fraternal greetings from
various representatives of Christian
work. Rev. S. Sugiyatna spoke for the
Japanese work at Hilo. Rev. H. W.
Peck spoke for the M. K. Church,
claiming inheritance in the work of the
missionary fathers. Rev. C. W Hill,
of Hilo, spoke in behalf of the California
churches, from which he came last year,
also of his love for his colleague at
Hilo, Rev. S. L. Desha of the native
church, who was interpreting lor him
Rev. A. C. Walkup gave the greetings
of the Gilbert Island churches. Rev. F.

Rev. O. P. Emerson, corresponding
secretary, read the Hawaiian version of
the annual report, as approved by the
Hawaiian Board, occupying an hour
and a half in the leading. No brief ab
stract can do justice to the great interest
of its multiplicity of topics.
Dr Hyde read his annual report of
the North Pacific Institute.
The election of secretary, treasurer,
and a new class of members of the Hawaiian Board was then held.
There was considerable discussion of
the relations between the Board and the

N. P. If. Institute in general introduction to the New Testament, English
composition and church history.
Various topics were discussed by the
Association in the afternoon. Reports
of committees were read and discussed.
It was recommended to limit the number
of deacons in a single church to nine as
a maximum.
Kaumakapili has had
thirty three, promoting dissensions. The
Island Associations were recommended
to insist upon strictness in giving letters
of dismission to members changing
their residence.
A special vote of thanks was passed
to Mr. S. N. Castle and family for their
gift of $25,000 to the permanent funds
of the Hawaiian Board ; also to Hon.

living together illegally, being permanently separated from their legal conwas
sorts.
A circular letter was read from the
Conference of Missionary Societies in
the United States, to the churches in
various mission fields, established by
American missionaries, exhorting them
to reach the point of self support as soon
as possible. A committee was appointed to reply to this letter; also to send a
special letter to the Hawaiian churches,
suggesting new methods of church
activity, and asking such increase of
their contributions as to provide for the
whole expense of tbe Marquesas and
Gilbert Islands missions, amounting to
$2,000, of which the Hawaiian churches
now pay only (1,600,
The Association adjourned to the first

The book tells much of the painful
acquaintance with Fuhi began at Hana, trials of youth, and of the severe hard-
Maui, in IBGI.
In that missionary pastorate of four years, he was my most
reliable church elder, always faithful to
duty, of sound judgment, deeply devout,
and of most consecrated spirit. Although he had enjoyed only common
school instruction, he was a master of
Scripture knowledge. About the year
1865, it was thought wise to appoint
him the pastor of the church at Kipahulu, and he was ordained to that work,
in which he served for over twenty years,
until age and infirmity removed him.
He proved a judicious and efficient
pastor.
Fuhi was a well grown boy when
the first missionaries arrived in 1870.
His father was the priest of the famous
old heiait of Mookini near the north
point of Kohala, and instructed his son
in the arts of the kahuna and of idolatry.
He may well have espied the Thaddeus

1820. He learned to abhor the old
superstitions with the deepest loathing.
ships of pioneer missionary life in Bonabe. More might have been told of
his joy in toilsome evangelistic work,
and of his winning magnetism in gaining the hearts of the degraded and depressed heathen. Halsey Gulick both
as boy and man possessed rare sweetness and loveableness. In manhood he
exerted an extraordinary magnetism as
a public speaker, with a rich and infectious humor. He was very modest
and sensitive, but in the exercise of his
duty, of determined courage. Wherever
he lived and wrought he was a kindling
and quickening force.
This book is brightly written and entertaining. One could wish for a fuller
account of the rich experiences of his
ripe and fruitful maturity. Few men
were ever brought into intimate contact
with so many phases of missionary
labor at distant points, in the Pacific,
in Spain and Italy, in Armenia and Bohemia, and later in his rich and noble
years of administration and preaching
in Japan and China. One craves for a
fuller report of those precious years of
later life.

Halsey Gulick, like Samuel Armstrong, both found his inspiration in the
joyful devotion of the early missionaries
in Hawaii, and also powerfully contributed to deepen in the hearts and
lives of other children of Hawaiian
missionaries a like loyalty to their
fathers' aims, and devotion to the work
of uplifting the lowly and establishing
righteousness in the land.

of Voyage to Mortlock Is.
RByev.Price.
FrM.ancis
At 3 P.M. of Friday, January 25th, the
Morning Star sailed from Rule The
passengers were Miss Kinney, the principal of the Girl's Training School,
Moses, pastor of the church at Uman,
and myself, besides several Ruk and
Mortlock boys and girls. After a rough
passage we came to rest on Sunday, at 1
i.m., in the beautiful lagoon of
Lnkiiiior, 170 miles from Ruk, with ;t
population of 850. It is a low strip of
land six or seven miles long and half a
mile wide. Breadfruit and cocoanuts
are about the only products. The people
are very poor, but would not exchange
their island home for America. They
immediately beset the ship in their little
canoes with outriggers. At the invitation of the teacher, Johnny, we at once
went ashore. The people crowded to
shake hands. Zenobia, the teacher's
wife, was overjoyed to see Miss Kinney,
threw her arms around her neck and
wept for joy.
There has been a church here for nearly
20 years, and most of the people were
decently clad. A crowd of nearly 7j)<)
people filled all available space in the
church, packed close together sitting on
the tloor. We sang together the old
hymn, "We praise thee 0 God, etc."
They then made the echoes ring with
"Jesus, lover of my soul,'' "There shall
be showers of blessing,'' and other good
tunes. Moses, the old teacher who came
to these islands from Fonape nearly 20
years ago, and who is now an ordained
minister, settled over our church at Uman
in the Ruk lagoon, now arose and greeted
the people. He talked to them from
home, reJohn 11:1, about the itheavenly

Among those who crowded up to shake

and told them what the Bible said of
these two ways. Written on the chart
were a number of sentences describing
the two ways and those that walked in
them. I made the people repeat these
over and over until they were fixed in
their minds. The interest was marked
from first to last. When I asked them
which way they would choose, they responded, "the way of life."
After service the teacher brought to
me one of the chiefs of the island who
wanted to tell me that he had chosen the
way of life. Years ago he was a professed
Christian, but had fallen away into deep
sin. Ht seemed to be touched with the
truth :md earnest in his purpose to come
back to the good way. Miss Kinney
then had a special meeting with the
women in which she spoke to them from
a series of pictures representing the life
of Christ. She was greatly pleased with
the attention given. I was gratified to
observe the interest the women took in
Miss Kinney. They seemed to regard
her as their especial property, and followed her about and hung on her words.
One of them called her "God's woman."
There were a large number of applicants
for church membership; some of them
had been on probation for a long time.
We examined 21, and continued the
others on probation until our return.
On Tuesday we had our communion
service. A unique feature was the mar
riage of thirty-five couples who all stood
up together. I married them not in a
bunch, but couple by couple. The object
of the marriage service in the church is
to strengthen the marriage tie which is
very loose here. The social problem
is the great problem, and everything
possible ought to be done to strengthen
the sentiment in favor of domestic purity.
Sixteen were baptized and 21 received
into the church. The communion service
was quiet and with many serious and
solemn. The membership is 230, large
for a heathen island. It was interesting
to receive those who had been baptized
in infancy. They are walking in the
footsteps of their parents. Some of these
young people give great promise. VVe
left with hearty good wishes of all.
Oniop. -Wednesday morning we crossed the lagoon to Oniop, an islet with 300
people. Here the chief is teacher, having
been two years in school at Ruk. He is
in poor health, but seems faithful. He
is the most dignified and naturally refined
native I have ever met, but spiritually
not all he might be. The church was
Crowded, almost all on the island being
present. Just before I began my sermon,
a portion of the floor, which was packed
with women, fell through to the ground.
Being less than a foot, no harm was
done. I called on them to sing while
the people regained their composure, and
the service went off nicely. Two were
for several years. We took him with us
hoping to place him on some island
where needed. He seems to have been
faithful for many years.
Ta. The sea was rough, but the Star
came along unheeding our painful sensations, and at five oclock we dropped
anchor in the Satoan lagoon near Ta.
Next morning February 2nd, we went
ashore. The teachers here are Robert
and Mary, named for Mr. and Mrs.
Logan, in whose family they long were.
He came here of his own accord, thinking the people in need of help. He
seems to have their respect. This is an
old church. Both Mr. Sturges and Mr.
Logan worked here, and after them
David and Obadia, Ponape teachers. A
large church was gathered and instructed
in the way of life, but in his late years
Obadia grew cold, and it was thought
best to order him home. A flock without a shepherd, the people have evidently
grown very cold, but still kept up a profession of religion until a few months
ago when the
Heathen Dance came to the island and
swept them nearly all away. Even the
old deacon Hezekia and his wife Drusilla,
so old and lame that they could hardly
go about, were drawn into this low,
licentious feast to the devil. It was
found that only three besides the teacher
and his wife, had refused to bow down
to the Baal. After a talk with Robert
and Moses I decided to have one service
with special reference to this dance. So
they were called together and I explained
the Ten Commandments from a chart,
and then called on Moses.
Moses' talk. I had told him that I
wanted him to talk to them about the
"Puarik," and he was well prepared.
He made one of the most sagacious and
appropriate talks I ever heard. He began
by asking them where the expressions,
"good day," "good morning" &c. came
from. They answered that the missionaries brought them. Well, he said,
these are good things, and all that the
missionaries have brought us is good.
They teach us to be good ; they bring
us good words ; they have never taught
us anything wrong. He then referred
to Mr. Sturges and Mr. Logan and said
they had gone to heaven, but the Lord
Jesus was here. Turning from this he
spoke of the Bible, that it had only good
words, good teaching, and that obedience
to the Bible made them better and happier. He spoke of how good God was
to provide a home for his people, and
reminded them that they were drawing
nearer to death every day, and that if
they were faithful they would soon be in
the heavenly land with the good teachers
that had died and with Jesus. He then
used a very beautiful illustration. He
has an adopted son. Pointing to him,
he said, "A few years ago this boy was
not mine. Then he did not hear my
—
me. So you were once away from God,
but now are his children, and you ought
to hear his commands, and not listen to
the evil spirits nor attend feasts in their
honor." He referred to the dance,
showed how different it was from the
church, leading them into sin and breaking up their homes. He closed with an
earnest appeal to them to give up this
evil.
After Moses had spoken, I talked and
told them how sorry I was that they had
done this great evil, and asked all who
were sorry and would give up the dance
and all sin to arise. Old Hezekia held
up his hand, but I told him he must get
up and confess his sin. This he did, as
also did about fifty others, and while
they were standing, Moses led in a very
tender prayer, and the impression setmed
to be a good one.
Visit to the Chief.— After this meeting,
while Miss Kinney held her meeting,
Moses and I called on the chief. His
house was nearly a mile away, and many
followed us. We found his majesty sitting on the ground in his shed like house
surrounded by a number of his people.
He had a little fire of cocoanut hulls,
and was drawn up close to it ft r warmth
to his weak body. His aims and legs
were enormously swollen with elephantiasis. His hair and beard were white.
My heart went out to this worn out old
chief whose course in life was so nearly
run, as I took his hand anil gave him a
warm greeting. I begin the interview,
after a few general remarks, with questions about Jesus, the church, and the
missionaries. He said that Jesus was
very good, and that he believed on Him,
and that the missionaries had brought
only good to the islands and taught the
people good things. "Well," I said, "a
few years ago the missionaries came and
taught your people about the true God
and Jesus the Savior ; a large number of
them gave heed to the truth and came
into the church, and they have been trying to be good and serve Jesus ever since;
but recently the heathen dance has been
introduced among you, and your people
have been deluded by it, and many of
them, because ofthis devil-worship, have
become wicked, and have turned away
from Jesus and His church."
"Now" I continued, "you are the chief
of this island, and are responsible for
these your people, and I have come,
with these around me, to beseech you to
put a stop to this dance, and thus prevent
your people from being led farther astray." The old man seemed troubled,
and after sometime said that it was impossible for him to stop the dance, for he
said, "If I do, the people from the adjacent islands, where they have the dance
and want it to continue, will come over
and fight us, and we shall have a war on
our hands." This was probably true,

them, showing them the wickedness of
devil-worship, and of such licentious
feasts. Moses talked with them faithfully. I finally told them they must
choose for themselves whether they
would serve the old gods in the feast and
go on in their wickedness, or whether
they would forsake their sins and serve
God only. It must be God only; not
God and the devil. It might seem not
difficult for them to see this; but their
idea of devil worship is to propitiate him
and thus ward off evil. Yet there is the
licentious part of the feast; but it is easy
for this people to persuade themselves
that it is right to indulge their passions.
It was a difficult task. Had it not
been for the presence of the Holy Spirit
it would have been an impossible task to
convince these old men that they had
greviously sinned ; but I think it was
done. They all turned to the chiefs who
were present and asked them to decide.
One decided at once, but the other, a
stubborn old fellow of the name of Noah,
hesitated. All urged him to decide, and
he finally yielded; and these nine old
men gave their pledge that they would
put down Puarik, even if it meant war,
and be true to the Church. Moses offered prayer, and one of the old men was
moved to tears. Indeed I felt my own
eyes fill with tears as I talked with them
and saw how completely they had been
deceived by the arch enemy of men.
At our suggestion they called Shima
to be their teacher. He had once been
of their tribe. The last teacher had been
a Ruk boy, whose wife fell into sin, and
caused his downfall. The sin of those
leaders largely accounts for the deplorable state of this church. In the afternoon
Moses exposed the sins of the puarik
aptly instancing the case of the golden
calf. At another service the next morning the attention was good, and the
people seemed to be more intelligent
than on some of the other islands. There
is a large company of young men and
women, whom Shima thinks he can
gather into the school. Miss Kinney
said she found the women unusually
intelligent. We endeavored to strengthen the things that remain, and believe
that the Master was with us. The people

Sunday morning we held our great people, and at the same time convince a goodly number of well-dressed Chrisservice using the chart of the two ways. them of their sin. I labored long with tians, orderly and intelligent. A careful
�inquiry into the case of Damaris, teacher
Ezra's wife, appeared to establish her
entire innocence. The condition of the
work showed great faithfulness on the
part of Ezra and Damaris. The next
morning eleven were examined and admitted to the Church. There has been
no dance on the island lor many months.
Ezra is less educated than some of the
other teachers, but has more physical
vigor, and is pushing the work with
energy. He needs a few months of study
at Anapauo.
Etal, Early Wednesday morning we
sailed out of Satoan lagoon and on to
Etal ten miles away. There being no
passage into the lagoon the Star stood
off and on after landing us in a high sea.
We spent a pleasant and busy day ashore.
The island is on the reef of a small
lagoon, semi-circular in shape, with 100
inhabitants. The teacher Maipok, and
his wife Samarina, have been here about
a year.
He lacks physical force, and has
been less attentive to his duties than he
ought, but I trust he is a genuinely pious
man. Our work here was without special
incident. Five were received into the
church, three backsliders restored, and
two couple baptized. One old woman
who had formerly been a Christian was
to stand up with the others and be formally restored to church membership. In
the examination she lacked a shoulder
garment, and I suggested to the teacher
that she he asked to put on one for the
afternoon service. She had no garment,
but was equal to the occasion. When I
called her name, she came forward with
a cotton coverlet wrapped about her
shoulders. She must have suffered not
a little with the heat, but endured it to
the end with becoming fortitude.
During the interval between services,
I went for a walk and saw the natives
climb the largest breadfruit trees, many
of them sixty feet to the first limb. They
tie a stone to a string, throw it over a
limb, and draw up a large rope, seizing
which they run up the tree with great
ease. The breadfruit is especially fine
on this island. A large one roasted was
greatly enjoyed at lunch.
Namaluk. At 5 i>. m. our work here
was done, and we sailed for Namaluk
forty miles away, reaching there after a
rough passage at eight a. m. Pulling
over a mile to the passage in the reef,
the high breakers forbade any attempt to
enter, and we returned to our rolling
ship. The teacher came off and got his
goods, having waded through the break
ers. I learned from him that the work
is in a rather low condition, and a great
many of the Christians have turned away
from the faith. We exhorted the teacher
Ira to be faithful, bade him adieu, and at
once our ship got under weigh for
Lvsap, 60 miles away. Saturday morning at nine o'clock we reached the quiet
little lagoon of this island where there is
a fine anchorage and a delightful place
to spend Sunday. On this lagoon are

population of 300, and Peace with 200.
The church we visited is at Losap. The
deacon Samuel came aboard the Star
just as we were leaving Ruk, and had
been all round with us. He was a good
deal stirred, and when we came ashore
at noon, ran about and gathered the
people in for a service. A housefull soon
assembled. We greeted them, sang and
prayed with them, and endeavored to
turn their hearts toward the truth. The
service over, we attended to some business matters, one of which was to talk
with deacon Samuel about a business he
was engaged in which, tho profitable, did
not conduce to the prosperity of the
church. They have a certain shrub in
Ruk. whose root produces a coloring
matter from which they make a paint,
which they use to paint their bodies hideously. This paint is prized by the
heathen, but the Christians are admonish
ed not to use it. It is a great temptation to them. Years ago some of the
teachers began trading in it, because it
was profitable, but being remonstrated
with by Mr. Logan, gave it up. Lately
Samuel, who is somewhat of a trader,
has gone into the business, and the
teachers of the Southern islands asked
me to speak with him about it. After
the service,' 1 called the deacons about
me, talked with them about the condition
of the church, commended them for their
faithfulness, and reminded them of the
rewards of their fidelity; and then, turning to Samuel, I asked him about this
business. I told him it deceived the
people, that its use was usually the first
step into sin, that it robbed the people of
their money, and did them no good, and
that I did not think it right for him to
sell it: He said at once, "I will give it
up." This was delightful, and I commended him for his prompt and hearty
decision. Moses then spoke to him very
kindly, and we left them for the ship, the
deacons evidently being in the best of
spirits. On Sunday morning I gave the
usual discourse on the two ways and the
audience was large. Miss Kinney reported unusual attention on the part of
the women, and Esther and Emma, two
of her girls, had an interesting service
with the children. The next morning
we sailed bright and early for
Noma, our last stopping place and nine
miles from Losap. As we drew near
about nine o'clock, we saw a crowd of
children on the shore, and soon we heard
them singing, "Welcome to the MornWe went ashore, but could

not get over the reef with our boat; so
the natives came in canoes to get us.
When they found the water 100 shallow,
they lifted up the canoe and carried us,
canoe and all, to the shore amid much
merriment. Our welcome here was
most enthusiastic. The teacher, Alek,
is a very pleasant man, with a happy
face and a hearty manner, and he has
imparted much of his sweetness of
spirit to the people. The island is
small and the population about 300.
[June,
1895
The people seem to live better than in
some of the other islands. The houses
were clustered close together, and some
of them looked comfortable, but the
greater part were like those of the
Mortlock group. The eaves of the
gable roofs came down to the ground,
the gables sometimes boarded up and
sometimes covered with thatch, and a
little hole in the end admits the owner
to this little dark abode which they call
home. Very little like a home, but it is
all the home they know.
The services here were also well attended, though there were not so many
boys as there were in other places.
Seven persons were admitted to the
church and one couple married. Among
those received to the church was a
bright young man who had married
Rhoda, the daughter of the teacher.
She had been educated in the school at
Ruk, but went home to marry this man,
who was not a Christian. It seems
that she has won him to Christ, and it
was a pleasure to learn of their welldoing and to receive them both into the
church. Here we met also Carrie Bray,
who was educated in Miss Fletcher's
school and who married
,
who was sent out as a teacher and fell.
She remained firm for a long time, but
finally yielded to the temptations
around her and went into sin. Now
she wants to come back and seems very
earnest about it. If her repentance is
genuine she will doubtless accomplish
her husband's redemption within a few
years.
I think that the work on Losap and
Nama is as hopeful as in any of the
Mortloek Islands, and I have great
hopes for Alek and his wife Alexandrina
that they will continue in the good way,
and good results ensue. At half-past
five we set sail for home, and at 10 a.m.
on Tuesday the Morning Star was
gently rocking in the lagoon in front of
our house. We were absent 18 days,
held 25 meetings, besides the meetings
for women, which were as important
and fruitful as any we held, on nine
different islands. We came away from
each island leaving the people feeling
kindly toward us, and we hope with new
inspiration for the Master's service. It
is good to be at home again, away from
the rocking ship and the gaze of curious
natives. The voyage was altogether
pleasant, without accident, without
trouble of any kind, and, so far as I
know, without an unkind word being
said to us. Forty live were baptised, 57
received into the church, and 4 2 couples
were married. We came home to find
that a very wicked man hail started the
dance here, and some of the choice
young men had gone astray, but some
had remained faithful, and in this we
rejoiced.

Few at home can realize what a
blessing the Morning Star is to these
people. While those who have given
their money are busily engaged about
�Vol. 53, No. 6.]
their own affairs, this good ship, built
and sustained by their generosity, is
sailing from island to island, carrying
gracious messages of the love of God,
and bringing not only help to Chris
tians, but cheer and gladness to all. It
is a beautiful picture to see this, to
them, great ship lying at anchor in the
lagoons and the crowds going and
coming in their canoes. God will not
forget this labor of love for these, His
long-neglected people, whom " Satan
has bound lo ! these many years."

Decoration Day
Was honored on the 30th with increased observance. Twenty-five veterans of the Dc Long Post were the
chief actors. Three hundred of the
well-drilled National Guards and 200 of
the U. S. naval forces made a noble
array. Flowers were in unprecedented
profusion, and large numbers of graves
in the cemetery were literally banked up
with flowers. L. A. Thurston was the
orator of the day. He well said : " I
sometimes think that a man's patriotism
increases as the square of the distance

Official Visit to the Leper Settlement.

and several others. The last two gentlemen went to present to the leper

stereopticon lectures. The lepers were
delighted and grateful. Captain Coch
rane made athem one of his taking
speeches.
A thorough inspection was made of
in the settlement. The
visitors were surprised and pleased with
the remarkable attractiveness and com
fort of the whole place. Very great
improvement was manifest as growing
during the past five years. The Bald
win Home, the Bishop Home, and the
water-works were specially commended.
A hopefully successful effort was made
to harmonize a long standing quarrel
between two factions of the Y. M. C. A.,
for whom a good hall has been provided.
A great improvement was noticeable
in the general health of the lepers, due
to special medical aid of 1 ite years. No
effectual cure for the disease is yet in
sight, although it is greatly mitigated
by medical treatment. Ambrose Hutch
inson, the superintendent, and for fifteen
years a leper, appears in better health
now than he did ten years ago. No
toxic secretion of the bacillus leprae is
found to be available for cure, as Hi

It is hoped that some vegetable or other
specific cure may yet be discovered.

letter had been missent to Hongkong
by the San Francisco postoffice, and did
not reach here until April 29th.
The offence charged against Mr.
Thurston was in his permitting a press
representative to see a letter from Honolulu which blamed the Administration as having by their policy encouraged the late insurrection. The
reporter immediately told Mr. Gresham
what he had seen, although it was not
published. The offense may seem a
very doubtful one, but Mr. Thurston's
attitude for two years of vigorously
defending his government had been extremely hateful to the administration
who had sought to destroy it. Henct
the first pretext was used for his removal. The only wonder is that he
had stayed so long. The reporter was
evidently a spy used by Gresham to

Col. R. H. McLean.
This gentleman arrived here May 3rd t
and was immediately appointed by President Dole to the chief command of the
military forces of this Government. Col.
McLean is a graduate of 187.' from the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. He is
said to possess exceptional military and
executive ability. He served twelve
years as an officer of marines. In sending for such an officer to command their
forces, the Government are seeking both
efficiency and economy in their military
department.
Secretary Gresham has refused to
interpose in the case of John F. Bowler,
claiming to be an American citizen, on
the ground that in taking the oath of
allegiance to Kalakaua, without reservation of allegiance to his former country,
he had forfeited his American citizenship.
Lord Kimberly has made a similar
decision in the case of A. M. Hewett,
claiming to be a British subject. In
the cases, however, of T. B. Walker
and W. H. Rickard, Lord Kimberly
held that they intended to reserve their
rights as British subjects, although
their oaths made no mention of such intent. This Government is understood
to have found documents on file which
fully establish the identity of their cases
with that of Hewett.

This page b .towtad lo the interests of the Hawaiian
■ward of Mission-,...ml thr Editor, appointed by the
Board, is responsible for ils roiitrnis.
Rev. 0. P. Emerson,
- - Editor.
At the Japanese Mission Church in
the Lyceum, Rev. Jiro Okabe, pastor,
there were received in the church fourteen on profession and four by letters of
dismission from other churches, making
a total membership of eighty-six at the
present time.
A celebrated penitential sermon was
preached on one occasion by Fra Rocco,
a Dominican.
The hearers were in
terror and fell on their knees, showing
every sign of contrition, and the preacher
cried: "All those who are truly penitent,
hold up your hands." Every man in
the vast multitude held up his hand.
Then he said: "Holy Archangel Michael,
thou who standest with adamantine
sword at the judgment seat of God, cut
me off every hand which has been held
up hypocritically." Every hand dropped.
Renovation of Kawaiahao Church.
This famous old "Stone Church was
dismantled last month to the bate walls,
preparatory to complete restoration.
All except heavy stone partitions were
removed. New floor timbers are laid.
New roof trusses have been set in place.
The old roof timbers, of eastern pine,
are a strange marvel of thorough honey
combing by white ants, rivalling any
ship planking bored by teredo. It is
simply a wonder that the roof has held
up, and did not collapse bodily years
ago, so complete has been the work ol
the insidious insects.
The cost of renovation is estimated
at $13,000, of which about two-thirds
have been subscribed. Mr. and Mrs.
Theophilus Davies have contributed
$l/)00. The new roof ought to last
another half century.
accommodation for day school and kindergarten instruction. The teachers are
wonderfully in earnest and enthusiastic.
The scholars are remarkably bright and
capable. The work is peculiarly full of
hope and promise. And yet it is seriously
crippled for lack of room. More pupils
apply for admission than can be received.
It is highly important that this situation
should be fully understood and the need
satisfied.
The following plan is proposed:
(I) Build a larger house for Church
and Sabbath School services.
(-') Convert the present Church into
the much needed school building.
But this takes money, and we are
obliged to appeal to the benevolently disposed for it. The Hawaiian Board,
under whose auspices this Mission is
conducted, cannot assume this burden in
addition to its other extensive Mission
work in these and other Islands of the
Pacific, for Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese, Marquesans and Gilbert Islanders
The Portuguese constitute about onesixth of the population of these Islands,
and are rapidly increasing. More are
coming from abroad. They are a strong,
sturdy race. They have come to stay.
Full rights of citizenship have been
accorded to them, and they are, therefore,
destined to hold a very strong influence
here. They should have the best of
secular and religious instruction. These
Islands must be held for Christ. Can
you, and will you, help to this end, by
contributing to our need for greater
accommodations ?
We enclose certificates of contribution,
with blank space for name of donors.
Although one dollar has been named in
these certificates, in the hope that many
will give as much as that, it is not intended to deter those who wish to give
more. All contributions, large or small,
will be thankfully received. VVe believe
the work is of God. "He loveth a cheerful giver."

Christian Workers' Contention.
A most inspiring time was enjoyed on
the afternoon and evening of Friday, the
26th, by Christian workers of this city who
met at the Central Union Church. After
a bible reading on "Growth in Grace" led
by Mr. I.eadingham, Rev. O. H. Gulick
gave an account of the progress made in
the Japanese Mission of the Hawaiian
Board, with its organized churches in Hilo
and Honolulu, and its seven evangelists
laboring in other districts.
The Hawaiian woik was described by
Miss Green, especially the influence of the
Training Schools in moulding Hawaiian
society. Rev. A. Y. Soares recounted the
great success of Protestant work among the
Portuguese. Their schools and congregations have entirely outgrown their build,
ings.
The President of the VV. C. T. U., Mrs.
J. M. Whitney, set forth their 'Temperance
Work, and the prospect of a united effort
an M. £. Church, and of their cordial
co-nperatiou with other Christians.
The Salvation Army was represented by
Adjutant Egntr, who gave most encour
aging statistics of their work in this city.
They ;ire evidently doing a great and
bltssed work among the fallen and suficring classes. They are now giving especial
attention to the Hawaiians, who are greatly
victimized by the saloons.
In an evening session, several short
addresses were made by Messrs. Kirnie.
Corbett, Bishop, Harris and Damon. Dr.
Harris urged to seek the anointing of the
Spirit. Mr. Corbett spoke of an invitation
sent to the evangelist C H. Yatman to
spend three weeks in Honolulu. Mr.
Damon spoke of the Chinese work and the
great promise of the Chinese youths in the
Mills' Seminary.
This bringing t"gether and briefly selling
forth of the many lines of active and successful work in saving souls nuw carried on
here, was most inspiring, and tilled all
present with a holy enthusiasm. As Dr.
Harris said, we felt that we "were on
consecrated ground."
Catholic Persecutions.
In the Catholic Times of Philadelphia
appears the following from its Paris letter:
"The first batch of soldiers left Tans
this weeK lor Madagascar. * * I learn
that so tar the Catholic religion has not
suffered on account of the approaching
French invasion. The expedition, indeed,
from the Catholic point of view is most
desirable. The Pu tcstant sects have had
their own way there far t»U long. The
time is approaching when our missions
will receive a substantial support from that
European power which, whateverthe faults
at home, has never failed to protect Cath
olic interests abroad. It is the fashion to
spead of French policy in Madagascar as i
check to England. It is nearer the truth
to regard it as a check given to British
secure advanced legislation against the Protestantism."

The Friend.
Journal
of Miss Jessie Hoppin.
Kusaie, Caroline Islands, Micronesia, I
January 15th, 1*95. )
Dear Home Friends: —Once more it
is near the sailing time of the "Star.''
This is Tuesday and she sails Friday
going by way of Ruk. This year for the
first time since I came to Micronoaia I
am obliged to admit to myself and you
all that I am unable to finish and copy
my journal better. I expect to send it
at a later date by some chance ship.
The year has been a full one for me with
about seven months in the boys' school,
about four or perhaps five weeks here in
the girls' school, and thirteen weeks of
sea life. So much about myself. Since
the journal must wait I thought I would
write you just a few scraps from it which
may give you little glimpses into the
lives of some of our people. In choosing
these characters I would not give you a
false idea of our people in making you
think that they are all faithful and true,
but 1 would have you know that here
among the multitude of things which in
themselves might seem dark, there are
bright and beautiful things which cheer
our hearts and make us feel that we are
rewarded here in this life. I will not try
this time to say anything about our beloved Jeramaia whose very presence
seems like a benediction and whose
prayers seem to bring heaven down to us
or perhaps better to lift us up to God. I
shall never forget how he worked carrying stones to the stern of the ship the
night the "Morning Star" ran upon the
rocks at Namo and lay there fast until
morning, nor shall I ever forget his prayer of thanksgiving in morning prayers,
when the dear old ship was fairly under
way again. He said: "Now, oh Lord,
we know truly that we are Thy people,
and this is Thy ship, and that this is Thy
work, for Thou hast saved us this day."
I never knew a more Christ-like man in
his treatment of the fallen. One young
man who had fallen under sudden temptation said: "If I can only stay with
Jeramaia for a year, I can begin anew, I
shall be strong again," and Jeramaia
took him home with him, Some day I
want to tell you more of this man. The
German Governor says:"The chiefs all
like Jeramaia, the traders all like Jeramaia, the people all like Jeramaia, and
the Governor likes Jeramaia." Perhaps
Te Raoi is the Jeramaia of the Gilbert
group though he is quite different in
temperament. He Has a little eleven

Whenever they thought a boat was leaving

they staid out in the bush until quite late,

She kneeled down and prayed lirsi, and
then went as I have already told you. Her
people did not come to inquire about her
again. Her father was reported as having
said he did not care anything about her
any more, as she had not cared enough
about him to say "good bye" before she
left, and added a little later that he would
have kept her had he seen her.
We had thought we could not possibly
take more than one girl from Nonouti, but
when we saw the state of things on the
island, the famine caused by the lack of
rain, the opposition t ffered to our work by
the Cnhol cs, we determined to take tvery
worthy and desirable girl who was ready
to g 1 to school and who was not held by
her parents. So it fell out that we took
seven new girls from Nonouti. They were
nearly all quite remarkable cases. Two of
them had been Ing "persecuted for righteousness sake," one of them having been
burned with fire, perhaps better, tormented
with fire to make her marry a heathen.
Some few examples like these make us
blush with shame if the thought ever
passed through our mind that the seed
might not be falling on good ground.

One thing is nearly exhausted, that is the

Y. M. C. A. Annual Meeting.
'This meeting was held April i ith. From
the Reports presented, we glean the leading facts as follows, showing an excellent
condition of the important work of this
Association.
$4278.73 were expended during the
year, leaving a balance of $58.05.
227 religious services were held, with an
average attendance of 53 persons. The
average attendance at the Sabbath Evening
Praise Services was 78. Services at the
Jail were discontinued during Martial Law.
The Temperance Committee is anxious
for the closing of all the sal ons for the
sake of the Hawaiians, but believes that
public sentiment is not strong enough to
attempt it. It is hoped that something
may be done by the coming Legislature to
mitigate the evil.
At the Reading Room is an average
daily attendance of 160. Over 1000
volumes are in the Library, of which 549

have been in circulation during the year.
The tables are supplied with a full variety
of latest magazines and papers.
Classes in book-keeping, type-writing
and shnrt-hand have been kept up.
A number of public entertainments have
been given.
'The Boys' Library is in constant use.
Four socials and entertainments have been
given the boys, and 40 boys, gospel meetings.
325 ships have been visited, and 12,000
papers distributed. Three receptions have
been given to sailors.
38 applicants out of 208 have been found
work by the Employment Committee.
Many destitute men received meal tickets.
Many letters from the Stateslnquiring for
chances of employment have been answered.
A Committee on Physical Training is to
be added on account of the new Gymnasium now building.
Secretary Corbett
takes luir months leave of absence during
which he will take some lessons in gymnasium work.
Mr. F. J. Lowrey succeeds Mr. C. B.
Ripley as President of the Y. M. C. A.
Rev. C. M. Hyde, D.D.
This eminently useful and devoted missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. at Hono'ulu
has been most ignorantly made an object
of attack by Mr. Thos. G. Shearman of
Brooklyn, N. V., which attack has been
made conspicuous in the N. Y. Evening
Post. It is deemed fitting that The Friend
should bear testimony to the high tsteem
in which Dr. Hyde's character and services
are universally held in this city and country. For eighteen years he has most ably
and successfully fulfilled the duties of
Principal of the North Pacific Missionary
Institute, in which he has performed the
chief part in the instruction of the young
men preparing for the ministry among the
Hawaiian Churches and as missionaries to
the Gilbert Islands. Of the nearly fifty
Hawaiian past, rs and missionaries now
in active service, about fur fifths have
graduated from under Dr. Hyde's instruc
tion. Their earnest and devuted spirit
testifies to his admirable instructs n and
example, and to the wisdom and efficiency
with which he has diigently wrought year
by year f r the upbuilding of Christian
character and intelligence in his pupils.
In other labors also Dr. Hyde has been
abundant, visiting the churches, wisey
counselling and inspiring their pastors, and
lending aid to every good work in the city
and the country. Dr. Hyde has an unusual degree of executive and organizing
talent, and is unwearied in labur.
As he his been stigmatized as "only a
paid agent" of the American Board, it is
appropriate to mention that some time ago
Dr. Hyde gave up his own salary to be
applied to the support of another missionary coadjutor, and is now dependant
wholly on private resources, except the use
of his house, which belongs to the Board.
Cruel Foot-Binding.
1 he question is forcing itself upon pub
lie attention, whether Chinese mothers
in this country are any longer to be permuted to torture their young daughters by
binding their feet. 'Their motive is to fit

On April 12th a child in Fowler's yard

torture. For several days her cries had
been frightful. If Chinese enjoy the privileges of residence here, may they not be
required to conform to our conception of
the demands of humanity, and to abstain
from obvious cruelties ? One does not
wish to violate the Chinese sense of what
is fitting, but are they to be allowed to rend
our ears with anguish fur the agonies their
children are enduring among us? It would
seem that this evil ought to be suppressed.
If the Chinese cannot comply with civilized sentiments in this matter, let them be

Big Rainfall at Hana.
Mr. Gjerdrum, manager of Hana Plan
tation on the east end of Maui, reports the
rainfall by his Negretti and Zambra rain
guage, on April 16th, as follows:
(Elevation 200 feet):
6:00 a. m. to 12:30 p. m.—4.80 inches.
2:30 p. m. to 2:00 p. m.— 7-75 inwhes.
2:00 p. m. to 2:20 p. m.—2.00 inches.
2:20 p. ni. to 4:30 p. in. —4 55 |n< hls

7:30 p. m. 10 6:00 a. m. 1.45 inches.
—
21.13 inches.
Twenty one inches of rain in 24 hours
is very unusual even in the tropics. But
7.75 inches in one hour and a half is some
thing quite unheard of. At 1800 feet
elevation there were only three inches of
rain.
Excessive rainfall occurred at the same
dale in the HIIO district 1 f Hawaii, 80

them somewhat conspicuous in this community. Most of them are leading citizens, a few of them wealthy, two or three
being millionaires, mainly by their own un
aided Lb rs, t x rted in the most honorable
nanner. We challenge any pers' n to deny
that thtse men are as a class, thoroughly
honorable, trustworthy and public spirited,
or to say that they are nt as a class, men
of pure lives and blameless record.
More than this, every one knows that
these men stand among the highest of the
community in character. 'They are among
those most looked to and trusted, and re
sorted to for help in every good work.

It is believed that there is no
Christian community on the globe with a
larger degree of consecration to Christian
work than that to which these missionary

The Missionaries and their children
have done the best they knew, to combat
the vices and weaknesses which have been

The New Sailors' Home.
In former years the cover of The
Friend used to be adorned with a vignette of the old Sailors Home, just below the Bethel Chapel, on the corner of
Bethel and Merchant streets. That es
tablishment rendered noble service to
the moral and physical welfare of seamen from the time of its erection in IH&ft
to its removal in IXtSij. Father Thrum
was the first man placed in charge, and
with his noble motherly wife made the
establishment an immediate success.
One of the most important effects of
such a well conducted boarding house
for seamen was the speedy improve
ment of other lodgings in town for sail
ors, which ceased to be the disreputable
dens which they had been.
The institution was fairly prosperous
financially, under the administrations of
a succession of stewards. The building
was a three story one, of wood. It came
near being being destroyed by the fire
of 1886, and indeed was seriously dam

Another wild statement of Mr. Shear

imported "scores of thousands of the

the wages of the native Hawaiians"
The facts are that thirty years ago
wages of laborers in rural districts were
not less than 50 cents a day. Soon after
the large development of sugar culture
under the Treaty of Reciprocity IS years

a day, and have not since declined.

ly. Altogether 190 persons were brought
before the Commission. Up to date the
findings in the cases of 177 have been
made known, leaving thirteen to be heard
from.
Before the Commission 101 prisoners
pleaded guilty of treason and four of
misprision. By this action the sentences
were considerably reduced. Altogether
there were six acquittals, four on the
charge of treason and two of misprision.
These men were promptly set at liberty.
Of the total number tried about thirty

the Government. These plead guilty

were modified to imprisonment for thirty

testify as he did.
"He refused to give testimony which
might criminate himself, or his friends;
whereupon he was strung up by the
thumbs to ringbolts, with his legs bound
below the knees, and a box placed below
him so that his toes just touched it. He
endured this agony for some time. Sweat
poured from his body; the tendons of
his limbs stood out like strands of rope;
bloodvessels knotted on his swelling
arms and legs. He lugged foi a drop

be denied by one who is best able to do so.

time in very vigorous style. He was an
able and forcible preacher. He joined in
the first rush from Honolulu tb California in 1848 when gold was discovered,
yet not for the sake of gold, but to carry
to that wild camp of adventurers the
word of the Lord. He was at once
chosen Chaplain by the new comers of
San Francisco, the earliest Protestant
minister on the California coast. When
the "old forty-niners" arrived they found
the Gospel there before them on the lips

Congregational Church of San Francisco,

1856. He then returned to the East and
labored in the pastorate of various
churches.
Dr. Hunt was an able, earnest, wise,

social qualities, and winning nature. He
merits lasting remembrance among the
founders of the Church on the Pacific

Lectures by Dr. B. G. Northrop.
Honolulu has been much favored by
a visit from this eminent gentleman,
and by listening to two lectures from
him. The first was on the 21st, on education, and especially the cultivation
of the faculty of memory. The second,
on the 28th, upon the subject of Village
Improvement, to which the distinguished lecturer's labors have given an
immense impulse in the United States,

School ? The Principal, Mr. Richards,
stated as a matter of fact, very few indeed of the graduates had thus far practiced the handicrafts which they had
learned in school. Nearly all of them
had found employment on plantations
and ranches, or as teacher*. Others
expressed the conviction that in any
occupation, the manual skill acquired in
school would prove in many ways of the
greatest service. It was also believed
to afford most valuable development of
thought and character.
Mr. Richards earnestly declared that
the scholars made far greater proficiency
in book studies in the same time with
manual training, than they could have
done without it. All their faculties were
quickened by means of the education of
that part of their powers cultivated and
developed in manual training.
When will the Trustees of Oahu College learn that they are educating only
a part of the mental faculties of their
students in theabsence of Manual Training ? When will our white youth come
to enjoy that invaluable culture now
given to Hawaiian youth exclusively at
Kamehameha Scoool ?

Death of Mrs. Mary. T. Tinker.
•
Mrs. Tinker was the widow of a former
prominent missionary in Honolulu, and
herself greatly beloved. She died March
7th at Westfield, N V., where Mr. Tinker
had been pastor prior to his disease in
1854. Rev. Reuben Tinker and wife
sailed for Honolulu Dec. 28, 1830, in
company with Messrs. Baldwin and Dibble.
They lived for several years in the house
subsequently occupied by the Isle S. N.
Castle. In 1840 they 'returned to the
States. Mr. Tinker revisited Honolulu
in 1870. She was in her 86th year.

New Docks to be Excavated.
A new departure is being taken by the
Government in the matter of harbor
improvement. It is proposed speedily
to proceed with the work of excavating
two spacious docks. One of these will
be at the foot of Richard street, east Of
the new Fish market. It will be 400
feet in length, and 27 in depth, and wide
enough to hold two of the largest ocean
steamers. The other one will be a little
farther towards the Marine Railway.
The ground to be removed is mostly
earth with a thin stratum of coral resting
upon it and is bare at low tide. The
suction dredge will do most of the work.
Similar excavation of docks in other
parts of the harbor will probably be
found practicable in the future. The
capacity of Honolulu harbor may thus
be gradually increased so as to meet a
good portion of the future demands of
the growing Pacific commerce.
There is no burden, which if we lift
it cheerfully, and bear it with love in our
heart, will not become a blessing to us.
God means our tasks to be our helpers
heavenward. To shrink from a duty, or
to refuse to bend our shoulders tn receive
a load, is to decline a new opportunity for
growth.—J. R. Miller, D. D.

Inter-Oceanic Canal Traffic.
"Not one mercantile ship flying the
United States flag entered the canal last
year, although many cargoes destined
for America passed through in British
ships," says United States Consul
General Penfield, at Cairo, Egypt, in a
report to the State Department upon the
Suez canal traffic. During theyear 1894
the number of vessels passing through
the canal was 3352, being ten in excess
of the preceding year, and the receipts
from the tolls amounted to almost $15,-000,000.
The number of ships using the canal
in 1874, twenty years ago, was only 1264.
These figures compared with those of
the present day show how completely
the canal has revolutionized the traffic
between the far east and Europe. The
largest business year the canal ever had
was in 1891, when 4206 steamers passed
through. The application of the electric
light to marine purposes is now so
general that nearly 96 per cent, of the
vessels using the canal last year were
enabled to steam at night. Of the 3352
ships passing through last year, 2394
were British. —Washington Star.

.will be an average addition of nearly five
large ships and steamers to be constantly
afforded wharfroom at this port. These
ships would come irregularly often
crowding in fleets. And the traffic will
yearly grow larger.

The Meeting at Kailua, Hawaii.

met at KaiMarch 20th, promptly
St 10 a.m. and finished its sittings in the
afternoon of Friday,, the 22nd.
There were present 9 pastors and 15
delegates. Keys. Lopo and Lutera of
(he Gilbert Islands mission were also
presept. Nearly all of the 18 or. so
parishes of the island were represented.
Although there are 23 independent
church organizations on the island, four
of,the smallest, are paired in the pastorate with contiguous churches. Perhaps
it were well if one or two more were
thu* paired. Thus there are left 18 dis
tinct parishes and of these but, 10 are
occupied, leaving 8 which receive only
occasional care. Here are inviting fields

There was much harmony and good
spirit shown in the conduct of the meeting, and the business of the churches
done with commendable address
and despatch. Rev. Mr. Desha who
was chosen moderator, helped much to
this end by his wise rulings.
Perhaps the most interesting and
hopeful action taken by the Association
was in connection with the approval of
Mr. Maluo of Opihikao, Puna, as an
evangelist. This elderly man has marked gifts of address and a good knowledge

Preaching Righteousness.
The Rev. Dr. Haweis of England has
just been making a progress through the
United States, creating a strong sensation, largely by the emphasis which he
has been able to put upon what he calls
the "New Pulpit." By this he means
the dropping from sermonsof ancient and
out-worn doctrinal questions, and enforcing the practice of righteousness, mercy,
and benevolence in the life and business
of the present day. Such an appeal to
the religious public is greatly needed,
and must do good. It is needed by the
pews, more than by the pulpit, for the
reason that as soon as the preacher
actively combats the wickedness of common practice among his hearers, he incurs their displeasure. When he denounces adulteration and short measure
and misrepresentation in trade, the
tradesmen in the pews who habitually
practice such things, are deeply offended.
When he reprobates corruption in politics, the politicians in the pews who conduct public affairs by crooked methods
take umbrage, and derhand that the
preacher stick to the Gospel and let
politics alone.

the Baptist and his Lord has been able

THE FRIEND
The Trial of the
Ex-Queen.
Although deeming it entirely just and
necessary, it is with much pain that we
record in these columns the humiliation
of one formerly in authority, and treated
with honor and reverence, by her trial
or a criminal offense. Mrs. Liliuokalani
Dominis for two years before January,
1893, occupied the high station of Sovereign Queen of the Hawaiian Kingdom,
laving inherited that office from her
irother, King Kalakaua, in accordance
with the Constitution of 1887, to which
she took oath. Having attempted to
subvert that Constitution, and thereby
her throne, she was deposed by
irity of the responsible citizens,
i since then lived in retirement in
>ital under the observation of ,the
ment of the Republic. She did
wever, acknowledge its authority,
imed the right to be restored to
t throne. The efforts of her adto that end culminated in the
ctior. of January 6th and 7th, the
of which was given in our last
Id
Evidences of Mrs. Dominis' active
complicity in that insurrection having
multiplied, she was put under arrest on
ie 16th of January and confined in the
.xecutive Building. Charges and speifications were duly served upon her on
ie 31st. On the morning of February
th, she appeared for trial before the
Military Commission in her turn, after
and before a large number of other acused persons. The charge made against
ler was that of Misprision of Treason,
laving knowledge of treason in others,
and concealing the fact from the Govrnment. Her counsel, Paul Neumann,
esiring more time to prepare, the case
was continued to the next day. The accused came quietly and humbly into
.ourt, like any other defendant. She
was plainly and becomingly dressed in
.lack without a veil. Her friend and
ttendant, Mrs. C. B. Wilson, accomanied and sat by her during the four
ays of the trial. On the first morning
he appeared depressed and disturbed,
laving become much agitated at certain
ispleasing appeals made to her by a
ormer native friend. During the other
ays she maintained an aspect of indiffernce, although showing attention by the
eye. There was an entire absence of
the stately and imperious bearing occasionally shown by her on public occasions. Her entry into her former
throne-room, before a large audience
who paid her no homage as formerly by
rising, and taking her place as an ordinary criminal before a group of military
men wearing their caps, must have been
deeply humiliating. It entitled her to
sympathy and compassion, a. one deeply
fallen into misfortune, however dc-
On the second day the Court opened
after ten o'clock. Mr. Neumann
interposed a variety of technical objections, all of which were overruled.
He
also strenuously urged, as in several
previous cases, an objection to the juris
diction of the Military Commission, as
having no power under the Constitution
to try a statutory offense, which must
go before a jury. The answer to this
was the right of the Government, in
time of war when its life was aimed at,
to maintain its own existence and not
leave its deadly enemies to be dealt with
by the uncertainties of a jury, on which
theirfellow conspirators might find seats.
It is in place to add that in November,
1893, when Liliuokalani was expecting
Minister Willis to restore her, she caused
to be prepared plans for the occasion including a Military Commission for the
'summary trial and execution of the men
who had deposed her. Mr. Willis' published correspondence of that month
states the fact in detail.
The first witness in the case was the
chief household retainer of the ex-queen,
Charles Clark, a half-white. He testified that on the night of January 3rd,
when the uprising was planned for I a.m.
from Kakaako in the town, Nowlein had
provided thirty-five guards, who patroled
all sides of the house, many of them close
to Mrs. Dominis' sleeping room. They
were armed with rifles and ammunition
which had been disinterred from a rubbish heap, also with bombs which had
been buried. With these they had orders
to hold the premises against all comers.
At midnight Nowlein reported the movement off, and the arms were reburied.
On Sunday, the 6th, Nowlein ordered
Clark to get ready again, as the movement was to be made before daybreak
on Monday. The arms were again dug
up and guards set. Clark met Mrs.
Dominis that evening and told her. She
said she has already heard it from Nowlein, and hoped it would be success.
Before nine that evening he saw the
Government soldiers assembling and
told her. She expressed her regret.
They buried the arms again early in the
soon
morning.
Another servant, Kaawai, testified to
having told her on the morning of the
4th, in reply to her asking the news,
"that our business has been unsuccessful.'' "Yes," she said, "it was off(pau)."
Her private secretary, William Kaae,
followed. He repeated his former testimony of having copied eleven commissions for Cabinet and other high officials,
which the accused read over with him
and then signed. He also engrossed
three Proclamations, which she read
over with him, also a new Constitution.
All this was done near the end of December. The papers were chiefly in the
handwriting of C. T. Gulick. On the
niglit of January 3d he saw 30 or 40
armed men guarding Washington Place.
He then understood that arms were to
be landed that night at Kakaako to re-
March,1895.
store the monarchy.
The morning of
the 7th, after the trouble at Waikiki, tfie
Queen told him the commissions were
destroyed. He had helped the officials
in searching for them on the morning
after she was arrested. Kaae also identified a fragment of a cement bomb
which bad been taken from her desk,
where it had lain for more than a year.
Chief Justice Judd next identified a
diary found by him on the 16th .among
her papers at President Dole's request
to examine them. It was entirely in
Liliuokalani's handwriting. Witness
then read three words under date of
Dec. 28th, "Signed eleven commissions."
The last witness on the second day
was the chief rebel leader, Captain
Samuel Nowlein. He rehearsed his
testimony as given at previous trials
about planning and executing the insurrection. He had been living at Washington Place; on the night of January
3d, he had given Charles Clark orders
about arming the men and holding the
place. Before starting, he talked with
the queen about the intended uprising
at Kakaako, and told her he would explain later what their plans were.
Learning on the morning of the 4th
that the arms had been landed beyond
Diamond Head, he told her of it. She
expressed her regret that the affair had
not come off. Witness went out beyond
the Head at 8:311 p. m. of Sui day the 6th,
and told the queen that evening that he
was going there. He did not explain
his plans to her, only that he could do
best for her out there, and was leaving
Clark to protect her.
After the constitution was engrossed,
witness took it back to Gulick for a
change suggested by the queen." He did
not after New Year's tell the quean anything about the place, time or manner
of the uprising.
On the third day of the trial, the 7th,
Dr. A. B. Lyons, government analyst,
testified that the fragment of cement
shell from the queen's desk had been
cast from the same mould as the cement
bombs. A series of witnesses established
the identity of the bombs and the fragment with those found at Washington
Place. A number of witnesses also testified on minor technical points.
Neumann took the case in the afternoon, and proved by a dozen substantial
witnesses that Charles Clark, the exqueen's head servant, was an utterly
untrustworthy person, given to falsehood,
and not to be believed on his oath. It
appeared that Mrs. Dominis had been
as unhappy in the choice of her private
retainers, as she had been in her public
servants, both while queen, and in her
recently prepared commissions.
At 3 P. M. Liliuokalani herself took
the stand, speaking in Hawaiian through
the interpreter. Her enunciation was
deliberate and distinct, in low, sweet
tones, those of a cultivated lady. She
stated that she took an hour's drive on
�Vol.
53, No.
Sunday p.m., Charles Clark accompany
irfg her. At five p. m. she went home to
family prayers, and saw no more of Clark
until the next day. She did not see him
at all that evening as he had testified,
nor did he give her one word of the information which he said he did.
Kaawai was her servant. No such
conversation as he described took place
on Friday the 4th. She first heard at
about seven a. m. on Monday that the
Government troops were on the street.
She knew nothing of an unusual number
of guards being around her house on
Thursday or Sunday, nor whether they
were armed or not. A number of people
watched her house every night. She
was not aware of Nowlein's absence on
Sunday night. He had charge of her
premises when there, and Clark in Nowlein's absence.
Comment may well be here interpolated upon the ex-queen's remarkable
testimony that she remained ignorant of
all that was going on during that Sunday
night of terror, when the city was in a
tempest of excitement. Her house was
central and near head-quarters. Troops
were in active motion around her. Her
guards were in great agitation. She was
herself the central object of the insurrection, and personally in very great
danger, as her need of guards implied.
Yet she was almost the only person in
the city who knew nothing of that night's
disturbances. All this lacks the semblance of truth.
No freedom of cross-examination was
allowed. At four p. m. the interpreter
Luther Wilcox read for the accused what
purported to be a translation from a
statement in Hawaiian written by herself.
To any one conversant with Hawaiian
modes of thought and expression, it was
clear that the original document had been
written in English, of course by the able
counsel himself. The paper declares
that "The movement undertaken by the
Hawaiians last month was absolutely
comnienced without my knowledge,
sanction, consent, or assistance, directly
or indirectly." It deals in much political statement in justification of her former
conduct and attitude. She claims to
have "pursued the path of peace and
diplomatic discussion, and not that of
internal strife." She claims that before
her abdication on the 25th of January,
she "had the right to select a Cabinet in
anticipation of a possibility." She pleads
for leniency to "those who unhappily and
unwisely resoited to arms to regain an
independence which they thought had
been unjustly wrested from them." (It
should be remembered that the Constitution of the Republ c puts Hawaiians
and foreigners upon an absolute political
equality). She then denounces the unlawful and dangerous violation of the
Constitution and laws in trying her and
her people by such a Court, and loftily
admonishes them of their dangers and
their duty. Throughout the whole paper,
she is made to take the attitude of a most

high minded, peaceful, benevolent, and
guileless person.
The trial closed on the fourth day,
January Bth, with the arguments of the
defense and the prosecution. Mr. Neu
mann held that the evidence had entirely
failed to prove in the accused any knowledge of the uprising. He had elicited
from the witnesses who were under
arrest, that they had been severely ad
monished to tell the exact truth, their
lives being in danger. He claimed that
their testimony was worthless, being
given under intimidation.
Judge Advocate Kinney occupied fortyfive minutes in an animated and impressive argument pointing out a resistless
presumption of guilty knowledge in the.
accused, fortified by those papers passing
back and forth between her and the
chief conspirators just before the outbreak, and clinched by the direct testis
mony of Nowlein and the others to her
knowledge.
A
Just
Tribute to the Government of
the Republic.
The following excerpt from a statement by L. A. Thurston seems to be a
correct expression of the facts
"What is the Government of Hawaii
to do ? Is the Government to condone
every offense that can be committed
against a government, and upon capturing insurrectionists in the act of shooting down its citizens, allow them to
again go free to repeat the operation at
the first convenient opportunity ?
"Amid hostile environment, amid opposition, treachery and revolution at
home and depressing effects of continuously hostile influences from abroad,
President Dole and his associates, to
the best of their limited powers and with
all the wisdom with which God has endowed them, are maintaining their outer
breastworks of civilization in the Pacific,
with a reserve consisting of a handful of
professional and business men, mechanics and clerks.
"The policy is not how to achieve
revenge. It is how to prevent Hawaii
from gravitating into the catalogue of
chronic revolution. The gospel of forgiveness and forbearance has been practiced. Whatever measures are taken,
the white men who organized the late
insurrection and furnished the arm's
therefor, but had the adroitness to keep
out of sight when there was fighting to
be done, will be held to an equal degree
of responsibility with thtir native companions, who had at least the manliness
and courage to attempt to carry out
their ill-conceived plan; and further, I
know that Abraham Lincoln did not possess a more patient, loving, kindly disposition than does Sanford B. Dole; that
there does not exist in the United States
today a more generous spirited, peaceloving, forgiving and unrevengeful cbmmunity than that residing in Honolulu

Sentence of the
Ex-Queen.
The Military Commission had sentenced Mrs. Dominis to the full penalty
of misprision of treason, five years imprisonment at hard labor and $5,000
fine. The President remitted the labor.
The prisoner's sentence was read to her
on the 27th by the President's aid, Major
Potter. She received it without any
manifestation of emotion.
For the present Mrs. Dominis will be
treated as a State prisoner and confined
in her present quarters in the former
palace. Regulations for her future treatment will be formulated by the authorities hereafter.
Lyman Memorial Altar.
In The Living Church appears the
following description of a memorial altar
erected in "the beautiful new Emmanuel
Church, La Grange," near Chicago,
which was consecrated on Sunday, December 16th.
"The altar and reredos are pronounced
by competent judges to be among the
handsomest and most thoroughly artistic west of the Alleghanies. The altar
and its accessories are Gothic in style.
The prevailing color is old gold, enriched
with glass mosaic. The altar, the retable, and the reredos are massed against
a wall which is covered with a conventional ornament in mosaic enclosed
within a border upon which are inscribed
the following words: 'Blessing and
honor and glory and power be unto Him
that sitteth upon the throne, and unto
the Lamb for ever and ever.' This
beautiful altar is a memorial of the Rev.
David Belden Lyman and Sarah Joiner,
his wife, who passed their lives in missionary work in the Hawaiian Islands.
Their son, who gives this memorial, was
the first, and continues the senior, warden
of Emmanuel parish."
It is also stated that "it was in 1874,
the year after La Grange was founded,
when it contained but a handful of people,
that the Church service was first read in
the village. On that occasion five persons, three of them communicants of
the Church, gathered in the parlor of
Mr. D. B. Lyman's house, and listened
to the reading of the morning service by
one of the number."
"The new Church was erected at a
cost of over $30,000.
"The hymn-boards are the gift of Mr.
D. B. Lyman's Sunday School class."
The venerated Father and Mother
Lyman who are thus honorably commemorated, were plain New England

version towards Popery. One must remark the incongruity of such a memorial.
Still we are glad of the evidence that
our esteemed Hilo cousin is a devout,
hard-working christian, as well as a
prominent jurist in Chicag >.
In view of his own unfortunate part in
the business, it may not be out of place
for the U. S. Minister now to intercede
for these persons who were so grievously
misled fifteen months ago by the representations which he was delegated by
the President to make.
"Political" Convicts.
It is learned that the U. S. Minister
has recently been urging upon this Government their duty of making a strong
distinction in the treatment due to persons under sentence for political offences,
and other convicts. This appeal was
made with particular reference to the
case of John F. Bowler who is under
sentence of five years imprisonment and
$5,000 fine for the crime, of misprision of
treason, aggravated by his having undertaken to seize the Telephone building in
order to cut off the communications of
the Government with their defenders.
There is a great difference in political
offenders. In Russia, to advocate representative government might subject a
man to extreme penalties. One's sympathies would be with such an offender.
One does not sympathise with the petroleuses and other Communists who fought
the French Republic and destroyed much
of Paris. The severities ot their punishment are generally approved.
The insurgents in the late insurrection
rose to destroy the Government which
represents civilization, progress, and Representative Government, in order to
restore a Government representing reaction, heathenism, and Despotic authority. It is true that many of the natives
were animated by a conviction that the
government rightfully belonged to the
aboriginal inhabitants and the Queen
representing them, and that the foreigners
were intruders and usurpers, although
they created all the civilization of the
country and all the civil security and
material luxury in which these natives
excel their savage and squalid ancestors.
How far such mistaken convictions may
be allowed to mitigate the penalty, is for
the Government to consider. It would
hardly seem to apply to the case of an
intelligent white man, who is not misled
by ties of race and blood.
There may seem to be a stronger plea
for mitigation of criminality than any
other for the ex-queen and her native
adherents, in the fact that during 1893
they were systematically encouraged
by President Cleveland and his representatives here to believe their cause the
righteous one. In December, 1893, they
were officially told that the Queen ought
to be restored, and the official demand
was made by the U. S. Minister that
she should be restored. With such
authority supporting their claim, there
would seem to be much excuse for the
natives believing their course to be just
and patriotic in endeavoring to overturn
the Government ofthe Republic by force.
Henry N. Castle.
It was a great shock to our community
of the death of this much loved
and talented young man, who with his
young child was lost in the disastrous
sinking of the Elbe on the early morning
of January 80th, in the North Sea, only a
few hours out from Bremen. Mr. Castle
to hear
had intended to defer his return a few
weeks longer. On hearing of the insurrection here, he instantly took passage
for home, anxious to participate in patriotic work. To his patriotism he has fallen
a sacrifice. Three weeks earlier his
older brother James B. Castle was at the
side of Charles L. Carter when he fell,
and remained to care for him under a hot
fire at Bertelmann's house. Our strong
young men are freely devoting their
lives to the cause of Liberty and honorable civilized Government in Hawaii.

March,1895.
Good Fruit of Royalists Defeat...Kahunas
Suppressed.
One excellent result of the recerU
crushing defeat of the Heathen Royalist
insurgent party in these Islands was
witnessed the other day in Lahaina.
Emboldened by the triumph of the civilized and Christian party of the Republic,
the District Judge summoned to appear
before him thirty-four well-known kaliitna sorcerers or medicine men who had
long practiced their incantations in the
district extending from Kahakuloa to
Ukumehame, a coast line of thirty miles.
The Judge gave them a stern lecture on
the wickedness of their practices, at the
same time reading to them the law thereon. All but one of the offenders promised amendment. The single recusant
was severely dealt with.
All of these kahunas were active royalists. Many of them had been among
the most violent persecutors of the excellent pastor at Lahaina, Rev. A. Pali,
because of his support of the Dole Government. Most of these kahunas had
been licensed in 1880 by Kalakaua's
native board of health.
Judge Kahaulelio has been from the
first a strong supporterof the Provisional
Government. So strong, however, has
hitherto been the Royal Heathen Party
with the support of President Cleveland
that the worthy Judge has been compelled to be extremely moderate in his
proceedings. This timidity is now at

For several weeks during the recent
operation of Martial Law, the liquor
saloons were closed by order of the Marshal. The excellent effects resulting
from this regulation, amounting to the
working of a Prohibitory law, has led to
an earnest desire to sec such a condition
of things made perpetual. Such a revival
of zeal for Prohibition ensued, that for
three successive weekspf the past month,
the prayer meetings on Wednesday
evenings have been mainly occupied with
considering the expediency of memorializing the coming session of the Legislature for advanced regulations in restriction of the saloons. The desire for entire
prohibition was unanimously expressed.
The only differences of opinion were as
to the extent to which progress towards
that desirable end was practicable in existing circumstances. A majoiity report
of a Committee upon the subject advised
asking for greatly restricted sales, and
doing away with all features rendering
the saloon a place of entertainment. A
minority report would aim at nothing
short of total prohibition.
The reports were finally laid upon the
table, it being apparently felt that the
church could not bind its members to
any specific action in the matter, but
that each one should be free'to advocate
and labor for such degree of restrictive
legislation as seemed wisest and most
practicable.

that it is high time for the United States
