A Happy New Year!
We offer greeting to all our readers, as we begin the new year. It
opens brightly on us in Hawaii.
Peace and health have taken the
place of disorder and pestilence.
More than ordinary business prosperity exists. Political animosities
are softened. Our churches are
having large accessions. All points
to a year of wholesome and successful activity.
While affairs are so bright in Hawaii, we cannot be oblivious to miseries in lands under the opposite
meridian, where Armenia is being
ravaged by the fanatical Moslem,
and no deliverer comes to save. In
contrast, what peace and well-being
are secured by the presence of enlightened Christianity in Hawaii.
May every earnest and upright soul
among us begin this year with kindled
purpose to be of all possible service
to other souls and to the Kingdom
of our Lord. May this year be one
of faithful work, and of diligent exertion to multiply the gifts with which
He has endowed us. When He
comes to take account of His servants, may each of us be found to
have made a worthy record in this
year ot 1896.

Letter from Rev. Arthur H. Smith.
On the IVilio. between T'unii l.'hiiu ami Tient-in, Oct. lilh.
Hit,
Dear Mr. Bishop;
On my return to China a few weeks
ago I found a copy of the 'Frii-nd'
addressed to me, the first I have seen
for a long time. If my mute back to
China had not been through Europe and
India, I should certainly have arranged
to visit Honolulu on the way, to see for
myself what is going on in your much
debated little Republic but this could
not be. In default of this I have followeh as well as I was able in my devious
journeys, such articles of yours as have
fallen under my eye, and have got additional light from many who have spent
some time in the Islands. I have never
had the least doubt that the Lord has
some high purpose in the unique history
of the Hawaiian Islands, and the early
years of the twentieth century will partially make plain what that purpose is.
In the meantime it is easy to be patient
with the ignorance, misrepresentation
and malice which has only evil to say of
those wonderful men and women that
laid the Cnristian foundations of the
Islands sn broad and deep that they have
not yet been overthrown, and by the
blessing of God never shall be.
I have come back to China in a very
disturbed time, the close of the war has
brought forward problems of which no
one can predict the solution. Since the
close of the war with Fn.nce and England in I HOD, there has never been a
time when the government ofChina has
been so unable to cope with its responsi
bililies as to d y. Indeed it is a question
of great interest just what constitutes
the 'government' of the Chinese emjiire.
The Emperor is a young man of very
limited capacity, if reports are to be
trusted, who, like most Emperors, is
strangled by what we call his 'environ
merit.' It would be a miracle if with
such opportunities as he has enjoyed. he
gained the smallest correct notion of the
political affairs of the planet upon which
he lives, antl there is no reason to suppost- thai any such miracle has been
His principal tutor, an old
wrought
man named Wting T'ung Ho, has just
been appointed a member of the 'Foreign
Office' in Peking, a cumbrous machine
through which nearly all the relations
between China and other states are adjusted. Another old fossil who was
tutor of the preceding Emperor, has
also been grafted into the same unwieldly
body, and these men are said by those
who have to deal with them to be 're
actionaries' of the worst type, so that the
transaction of any business at all has
been difficult. The British government
appears to have been aroused to the
point of giving a most vigorous 'ultimatum' in the matter of the Ssu Ch'uan
riots, offering the Chinese but three days
My.
THE FRIEND
to make up
their minds whether to publish an cdii t in th Peking (ia/.ette, degrading the late viceroy of that province
on the express ground of his complicity
with the rioters. The alternative which
was threatened is understood to have
been the occupation of the valley uf the
Yang-Tzu river by the British, an event
which even the stolid Chinese could not
contemplate with equanimity. As a re
suit the required edict was published in
the Gazette a few days ago, but in the
most inconspicuous manner possible.
As the Fukien massacres were much
worse in every way than the riots in the
Western province, it must be that when
the investigation now in progress at Ku
Ch'eng is ended, the British Government will insist upon the degradation of
the Fukien Viceroy too. This is an
affair of very much greater importance
than the casual reader of the daily newspaper is likely to imagine. I do not re
collect ever to have heard of any such
extremity of punishment before, for in
this case there are appended to the
decree of removal the fatal words, 'never
to be mentioned for employment again.'
Ch'ung Hou, the Tartar Governor General of Chihli, at the time of the Tientsin
massacre, was it is true removtd. But
his punishment consisted in sending him
as a special envoy to settle with the
French Government the details of the
reparation to be made for the murders
wrought through his connivance. Alter
a great deal of ttlegraphing back and
forth, the U. S. Government has finally
sent a commission of its own to Ssu
Ch'uan to look into the riots there, the
members consisting of the Consul at
Tientsin—an active and intelligent man
—an officer from a man-of-war, and the
interpreter of the Legation in Peking.
They left only a week ago, and are to
travel overland, instead of up the YangTzu, which involves much fatigue for no
obvious purpose. The firm stand of the
British Government ought to make their
task an easy one. Meantime the Chinese
government has succeeded in getting
into hot water with every one of the
Great Powers simultaneously, the latest
being Germany who is exasperated by
attacks upon Missions near Swatow. It
is a current aphorism that the hour produces the man, but the hour seems to
have struck some time ago, and 'the
man'has not appealed. The most natu
ral explanation seems to be that he is
either dead, or quite as probable not yet
born. There are signs that prominent
Chinese officials recognizing the gravity
of the situation, are ready to listen to
advice from any quarter, if there is a
reasonable hope that some plan will be
brought forward by which China can get
out of her troubles.
At the present
moment there are in Peking two members of the missionary body, Rev. Timothy Richard, and Rev. Gilbert Reid, each
of whom is well qualified to make valuable suggestions to those in high places,
and each of whom has recently been sent
[January, 189G
for by officers in responsible positions,
in the hope that something may be suggested by means of which China may
escape from her sea of perplexities. China
is poor in money, weak in armaments
and distracted by hopeless difference* of
an internal nature. The Tartar Dynasty
would have fallen long ago, but for the
fact that there is nothing wherewith to
replace it except blank anarchy. I.i
Hung Chang is shelved in Peking
charged with having made an 'unpatriotic' treaty with Japan, the only thing
that could be done, and at the same time
charged with the making of another
treaty with the same power as a definite
adjustment of the results of the war.
He is said to be regarding with much
amusenu-nt the helj'less struggles of
his opponents to manage the aflairs ol
state, to which they are quite unequal
but even if he should get back to power
again, he is too old to retain his position
long, and there is not a single official
available for the succession. The needs
of China are many, but her greatest and
most fatal lack is men. There is no doubt
that the introduction of railways in the
central provinces is in the immediate
future, indeed we hear even now that
the Imperial assent has been given to a
line from Tientsin to SoochoWj but we
recollect that the saint; assent was actually given in 1884, and nothing came of
it. It cannot however prove so now,
for the reason that if China does not
build railroads herself, Japan will force
her to let Japan do it, which China
Hence
will do anything to prevent.
compulsory 'reform. But those who
know China and the Oriental, are well
aware of the fact that there is in magic
in a railway. It still remains true that
'the soul of improvement is the improvement of the soul.' It is for this that the
missionaries are working, and sooner or
later their work will be felt.
I remain very sincerely yours.

An Old Letter from a still surviving
Missionary.
To Mr.
('...rh.iin
11. (lilman, care of Ladil and Co,
Honolulu, Palm.
Kohala, March 25, '42.
My dear friend and Brother Gorham,
I received your very kind letter yesterday— quite a speedy conveyance from
Honolulu —only 15 days? We usually
think we are highly favored if we get
letters in a month or six weeks from
there.
We feel much obliged to you for the
intelligence you give us ol news and
letters from Home, and we shall wait
with no little anxiety for our letters.
We have been highly favored so far,
though we have met with a sad disappointment in the loss of the package of
home letters by the California, —a loss
I need not say, we severely felt and one
�which cannot easily be repaired. We
feel desirous to send home by the Delaware, but have only to regret the utter
impossibility of preparing leiters in season to send now, as this must go in the
morning, anil opportunities to send hence
to Honolulu are very rarely known to
us, we live so far from the beach.
We are exceedingly pressed with busi
nessjust now, and dutits seem daily to
increase upon us, as our acquaintance
with the language becomes better. A
pastor's labors at home are very small
indeed, compared with the wear and teai
of a pastor's body and mind in these is
lands, and then here there is no en
lightened sympathy with the "minister,"
as there at wayI is at home. We have
therefore a double weight here to sustain:
but we do it in the strength of an AI
mighty supporter, and in Him we feel
courage to prosecute the Work he has
given us to do.
I am now upon my third general tour
through my field, examining the state
of the schools and the church. Both
are low at present, though we have some
hope from morning prayer-meetings
which I established a week or two since
in all our lands. (Perhaps you may not
be aware that every district is subdivided
into many small lands of from 5U to 500
inhabitants. Of these we have SO or CO
in this district.) Our Sabbath school
also I have just organized, and hope for
some good from that. My teacher s
school numbers about 511, and is very full
of interest, as is also Mrs. B's school
of girls.
We find our acquaintance with the
people becoming more perfect every day,
and every da)- we see more of their desperately degraded condition. Many years
must elapse ere they can be brought
in their civil and social relations anywhere within the utmost verge of civilization. Slow indeed is the progress of
degraded human nature upward; but
the power of Gods' truth can raise it.
This is our stay continually. I find
very pleasant preaching to the people.
On the A. m. of the Sabbath I preach
them a set sermon, and the P. M. have
them recite the verses of the "Ai-o-ka
la," i.e. "Daily Food," and then expound to them. They give apparent attention to the truth, but like sinners everywhere, their hearts offer no congenial
soil for its growth. The Lord alone can
sanctify it.
The native character is vastly worse
than I supposed it was. Nothing is too
bad for the people, nothing too vile. I
am whelmed in astonishment, when I
think that such hearts can be changed
by the grace of God, and made meet for
Heaven.
I am very glad to hear you say that
God is your strength. Yes, my brother,
God is indeed our strength—our All.
May you feel this truth continually warming and cheering your inmost soul.
Never before have I felt so deep a sense
of this very thing as I do now. I am
THE FRIEND.
driven absolutely to Him to seek aid

Hon. R. J. Sellers, Premier of New

that no license shall be granted within

the whites. The result has been destructive to the native race of the Islands. The prohibition was originally

If the water and lands of Ewa and
Waialuacan thus be united, it means an
addition of fifty or sixty thousand tons
of sugar to the annual product of this
island, and a trebling of its population.
It is to be hoped and with some good reason, that a large part of this sugar
would be cultivated on shares, so as to
promote the settlement of the country
by American and European farmers.
The large population created by the
sugar plantations would also make a
home market for vegetable, truit, and
dairy farms on portions of the land not
irrigated, but enjoying forty or fiftyinches of rain per annum. In view of
these conditions, it seems quite possible
that twenty years hence may see twenty
thousand people finding a residence and
comfortable subsistence on the now
uninhabited region between Ewa and

situation of these devoted workers is in
every way comfortable and delightful,
with the one terrible exception of their
constant and somewhat dangerous intercourse with lepers, many of them
horribly disfigured. There is also a
great tendency to overwork.
Senator Waterhouse, Prof. Richards,
Rev. Waiamau and others held a most
interesting meeting with the Y. M. C.
A. in their new hall. A son of Mr.
Waiamau is the leading spirit. His
career of high promise was arrested by
leprosy; but he is full of Christian zeal
in his new home.
A heavy northerly swell forbade the
party to re embark that night or the next
morning. They crossed the island 12
miles to Kaunakakai, first climbing on
foot a precipice of 1800 feet altitude.

War for Purity.
The morning paper is delivering
an active assault upon a somewhat
recent outgrowth of vile living in
that part of the city slums which
borders on the Nuuanu thoroughfare
It is charged that the scum of the
Japanese plantation laborers has
drifted thither, forming a settlement
of gamblers and hoodlums, associated with the vilest traffic of the other
sex. The paper rightly calls for at
least the repression and timiring of
these indecencies, and for the deportation of the criminal element of
that nationality.
This is not an attack upon the
Japanese, who are a most interesting
and valuable element of our population. It is aimed even more at the
protection of the Japanese themselves, than at that of the rest of the
community. It is supremely for the
interest of their laboring class, as
well as for that of their entire population, that they should be rid of the
poisonous influence of their vile and
criminal classes, who if not repressed, terrorize and overpower
the better class. Every Japanese
household needs protection from

It will be obviously for the interest ol
the licensed dealer to encourage as wide
a dissemination as possible of the drug,
in order to cultivate appetites in as
many new customers as possible. Not
only are the Hawaiians without temperance and sell control in the use of a
tempting naicotic. The Japanese also
are more liable than the more steady
Chinese to yield to impulse. Among
the Chinese themselves there will also
inevitably be a great increase of con
sumption.
We look to the Christian principle in
our community to resist this pernicious
proposition. We look to the morality
and benevolence of our people to army
them against it. We look also to the
planters to oppose what mu-t greatly
demoralize and disable their laborers.
So evil and disreputable a measure can
not be expected to be carried in an enlightened Legislature.
Christianity
and the Evolution of
Rational Life
A STATEMENT MADE on SOLICITATION OF
THI. I All. GEORGE H. ROMANES.
By the Rev. John T. (iulick, Ph.
f-'riilll the llilili.illi,-,
'
.1
I).
SaCrS, lanu.uy, iHSS,
The author says ol the following article, that
it "was not written wilh any thought of public a
tion, but simply as a reply by letter to a corre
spondem who asked'On what lines oil hriatian
evidence do you mainly rely ?' and saying that
his own belief had been shattered by what seemed
to him overpowering assaults lion, the sidt- ol
rationality." He is willing, however, to have It
published in the Bibliotkeea Sot ra. The interest
and value of it is gtealls enhanced when it is
known that the person who solicited the statement was the distinguished < ieoigr 11. Kotnanes,
late editor of Natun (the principal scientific periodical ol England,) and that this reply, with the
distinguished savant's peisonal acquaintance with
Mr. Ciulick, was among the prominent influences
which led t j Mr. Romanes'return to the Christian
faith.
(iulick was born of missionary parents in the
wich Islands, and was later assigned g field
n. While in the Sandwich Islands heeccahis spare time in making an exhaust ivc study
of the land tnollusks of the archipelago
As the
immediate result of this work, carried on for
many years, numerous articles were published by
Mr. (iulick in the scientific journals, beginning
with one entitled "The Variation of Species
ss related to their Oaographical Distribution,
rated by the .chaiinellinae," published
•ilnre, July 18. LS7'.'.
Without mentioning others which intervened,
we notice finally two, tilling one hundred and fifty
closely printed pages of the I.inn,u on Journal,
published in London in ISB7 and 18811 The
first of these is entitled "Divergent Involution
through Cumulative Segregation.'' and was presented to the society by Allied W. Wallace, Y.
L. S. The second is entitled "Intensive Se-

gregation, or Divergence through Independent
Transformation," and was presented by \V.
Percy Sladen, F. 1.. S.
The main conclusions established by these investigations are embodied in the two following
propositions:

The tribute which Mr. Romanes paid to Mr.
is most remarkable, and should be prelixed to the Communication drawn by hint from
his admired missionary friend and which we here
print lor the first tune. In publishing an article
of Mr. (iulick's which appeared in Natun in the
issue lor April It). IS!!!), Mi Kotnanes writes as
follows: "I cannot allow the present coninuinii a
tion to appear in these columns without again
recording my conviction that the write! is the
most piolou.id of living thinkius upon l.aivvinian
topics, and that the generalizations which have
been reached by his twenty veais of thought are
of more importance- to the thcoiv ol evolution
than any thai have i.c-en published during the
post-Darwinian period." /■.'./. ISibl. So,.
(iulick
Man is rational and be finds himself
universe th.tt is capable of being interpreted and used by reason.
The arts and sciences, through which
his power is constantly advancing, are
proofs that he isjustified in the assumption that every part of the universe is
constructed on principles that will yield
an ever expanding meaning to his search
for unity, law, and order, 'The progress
of science tests on man's faith that he
cannot be wrong in applying this assumption to new realms; and the ratio
nality of the assumption is justified by
the result. But rationality includes not
only the adjusting of" means, but tiie
weighing and choosing of ends; not
only intelligence, but morality ; not onlj
knowledge, but love guiding in the use
of knowledge. Man liiuls himself part
of a social system in which regard for
the good of all is the guiding principle
that brings order out of confusion 'The
history of social evolution shows that,
in proportion as man gains faith in this
principle, and applies it intelligently to
wider groups of society and to each and
all of the relations of social organisation, in that proportion has he advanced
in happiness and dignity.
We also find that a very large share of
this advancement hi s been due to Christianity. Though other systems ni teaching
have dimly apprehended the ideal, they
have none of them been able to inspire
men with new motives that are able to
hold the brutal tendencies of the race
strongly in check. In populous regi
ons there seems to have been a slow
biological evolution through which
altruistic instincts have gained increas
ing force; but no power outside of
Christianity seems able to take man as
he is, in any and every land, and set him
on a new course. The cause of this
wonderful power in Christianity seems
to lie in its ability to assure men of the
fatherhood of God as well as of the
brotherhood of man. Indeed, judging
part of a
1896
from my own experience and from what
I have observed in China and Japan, it
seems as if a strong hold on the latter
idea, such as will awaken the enthusiasm
of humanity, is attained only by those
who are filled with the former idea. It
should also be said that a stiong sense
of God's love does not remain with the
man who refuses to love his neighbor.
Science rests on the assumption that
unity, order, and law pervade the universe.
Morality rests on the assumption that the obligations of benevolence
are a reality, extending to the uttermost
bounds of our influence. Religion rests
on the assumption that power, wisdom,
and love underlie the foundations of the
universe The first is the condition for
any rational use of means, methods,
and opportunities; the second is the
condition for wisdom in the choice of
ends and in the regulating of our lives;
the third is the necessary condition for
courage, confidence, and joy in realizing
the two previous conditions. There is
also an interdependence between the
lii st and second conditions which seems
to make it necessary that they should
advance together. An individual may
indeed be skillful in the the use of means
without listening to the dictates of
morality, but a community without morality will relapse into barbarism, losing
the sciences and aits they once possessed.
Hut is it wise, is it rational, to act on
these assumptions before we prove that
they are in accordance with fact? I believe
it is. 'This is, it seems to me, just what
rational man has always done, in some
degree; and I believe he will always
have to, unless he abandons rational
life.
Does not the very essence ol
rational life lie in conscious or unconscious acceptance of these higher postulates? Irrational creatures, as well as
man, put faith in the reality of the
objects revealed by their senses, though
the only proof that the assumption is
not a delusion is that it woiks well in
serving the purposes of life, and that the
knowledge derived from different senses
is harmonious. Now, it seems to me
that confidence in the postulates of our
reason is justified in the same way.
They are necessary to the continuance
of rational life
They give vigor, enthusiasm, and joy to life; and they bring
all parts of our knowledge into a harmonious whole.
Again it may be asked, Are not the
first two of these postulates sufficient
without the last? And does the last
stand on as sure a basis as the other
two? Ii seems to me that the three are
inseparably connected. 'The last is an
implicit assumption underlying the two
previous assumptions. Rational man
is the fruit of nature, and the nature
that bore him everywhere responds to
his reason. When reason is the interpreter of such a universe, will it not find
reason as the interpretation? What can
be more rational than to believe that the
�Vol. 54, No.
I.]
nature of the universe is rooted in reason? But a full answer to these two
questions can be reached only by careful
study of the cvi lution of rational life, a
subject which may be pursued in a
thousand different ways, and concerning
which I can make only a few suggestions. To give definiteness to our in
vestigations we need to take actual
cases. We need to observe the influence
of systems of thought that have shaped
the lives of individuals or nations.
What systems have done the most to
invigorate rational life? Which ones
have shown the most power in restoring
to rationality those who were wasting
their own energies, a:ul bringing ruin to
others? I am sure Christianity could not
retain its hold on the modotn world.
any more than Buddhism, if it did not
show superior power in elevating the
lives of men.
Hut the great power of Christianity
lies in the direct effects of the character
of Christ. His influence on the world
is due not only to his elevated conception of the fatherhood of God, but to the
new aspirations awakened by his realiza
tion of the most exalted life and his
promises to lead others to the attain
ment of a similar life, in their devotion
to him and to the kingdom of God which
he establishes on earth. 'This kingdom
of God is a kingdom of love, which he
assures us is to spread its influence into
all lands; "for the meek shall inherit the
earth." Not only has Christ become a
leading factorin the evolution of society,
but, in the survival of the meek and the
righteous he has opened to. us the
philosophy of this higher evolution and
the truth of the philosophy is sustained
by the gradual fulfillment of the predic
tinns based on the philosophy.
Concerning the nature of Christ's
authority, and the ground on which he
makes such great promises, and assumes
such absolute leadership, I try simply to
understand what he claims for himself.
Though the most humble of men, he
assumes greater authority than any
other teacher ever thought of assuming.
His life and its influence on the world
seem to me as unique as his death and
resurrection. Each sustains the other,
and the harmony and consistency of the
whole seem to me unlike the fabrications
of the myth-making faculty or the productions of idealzing art. An extraordinary life may he the occasion for myths
attempting to explain that life; but it is
entirely incredible that myths and sub
jective delusions should originate a
character on a wholly new range of
thought, and then give it power to trans
form, first the original subjects of the
delusion, making them consistent and
pertinent witnesses and martyrs, and
then through them the whole structure
of society. But, although the lives of
his disciples show that the) were moved
by the deepest conviction of the reality
of what they have told us about him, we
must remember that their method of dc-
THE FRIEND
scribing events is necessarily shaped in
many respects by the ideas of the time;
when, for example, we read that the
waters of a pool with curative powers
were at intervals moved by an angel, I
have no difficult}- in supposing that it
was an intermittent spring. Making
allowance, however, for the fact that the
very names of things sometimes express
the vatises to which popular belief at
tributes them, we find that the records
of Christ's life are chiefly the simplest
poss ble recitals of what he did and
said, with only '.he briefest references to
the explanation ol the facts. And of the
facts recorded, nearly all relate t the
last three years of his life. Passing by
ill explanations if the nature of his life,
and giving attention simply to the main
facts of these three years and to their in
lluence on those who were with Him,
and through them, on the world, we are
brought to the irresistible conclusion
that he was a new type of man, possessed of a character of complete devotion to the good of others, and of unparalleled power in transforming and
elevating the lives of others. In biological evolution a new type has influence only as its offspring multiply to
the exclusion of other types; but, in
rational evolution, a new character may
propagate itself by transforming other
types into more or less conformity to its
own standards without any infusion of
new blood.
'This is the method ol
Christ's influence on the world. In the
language of the New Testament it is
called, giving power to become the sons
of (iod.
In closing, I may say, that our philosophical explanations undergo transform
ation, but the great factsof Christianity
seem to me to remain untouched.

and magistrates shall bend beneath His
power. Preach Him till the weary and
the heavy-laden come to Him for rest;
preach Him until His judgment throne
stands out distinct and awful with saints
and sinners trembling on either hand.
Preach Him as Peter preached Him in
the glory of his aged recollections.
Preach Him as Paul preached Him to
Jew and Greek, barbarian and Roman;
not with enticing speculations, but in
the demonstration and the power of the
Holy Ghost; out of the depths of an experience growing richer and a knowledge growing clearer and larger; out of
the peace of God which passeth understanding and the love of God which
passeth knowledge; by gentle, lucid and
courageous speech; by judicious and
heroic silence; by patience and fortitude
and faith; by forbearance and by deed;
preach Him the life and light of men.
Do not surround Him with artificial
splendors, thinking to make Him more
attractive; do not degrade Him to a
puzzle and a problem, but preach Him
as He preached Himself, the Shepherd
of lost sheep, the likeness of the Esther,
the Friend of sinners, the Redeemer of
mankind.
Pacific Counsels.
It is satisfactory to find, as might be
expected, that Christian ministers on
both sides of the Atlantic almost invariably counsel calmness and moderation in
dealing with the controversy which has
arisen between England and the United
States respecting the boundary between
A
British Guiana and Venezuela.
notable exception appears to this pacific
spirit, as follows
The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, in the
course of his sermon at St. James' Hall,
said that the two most distressing spectacles for any lover of peace were the
Sultan of Turkey and Mr. Cleveland.
The latter bullied Great Britain and
rudely threatened her with war; but
awful as a conflict was to contemplate,
he hoped that those answerable for the
conduct of the nation's affairs would
not allow him to dictate where the
frontiers of the British Empire ended
and began.
Price Hughes is still a young man,
but has earned too much influence and
leadership to make it seemly for him to
employ so intemperate a comparison as
that of Mr. Cleveland to the Sultan of
Turkey. The controversy is one of a
class quite sure to be settled by negotiation. Salisbury had been rather peremptory in refusing to discuss the

'The question vexes many a clerical

Christ. Preach Him in the meekness
and loveliness of His hewrt; preach Him

morality; preach Him for the remission
of sins; preach Him as the power of an

Sugar Interests Booming.
The destruction of the Cuban sugar
crop by the insurrection, is driving up
the price of sugar in the United States.
This means high prices for the unprecedently large crop in these Islands. An
impetus will naturally begin to all business here.
President Dole in Kona and Hilo.
In his tour through the above districts, Mr. Dole has had a most favorable reception from the people, especially
the natives. He expresses himself as
greatly impressed with the urgent need
of roads lor the development of the
argicultural lands. In those rich but
most rocky districts, only roads built
with great cost and labor can make the
farms accessible to wheeled vehicles.
The Hilo Tribune says that the Volcano
road costing $120,000 at once caused
the occupation of Crown Lands which
yield over $20,000 annual rent to the
Government.
Kilauea again Active.
After thirteen months of entire quiescence, the volcano of Kilauea has resumed in the fullest degree its custo-
mary activity. The fires had subsided
and disappeared in the deep abyss of
Haleamaumau crater early in October
1894, after forty-three months of magnificent activity. After long waiting, the
patience of Manager Lee of the Volcano
House was rewarded at 11 p. m. of
January 3rd. by seeing a faint light on
clouds above the crater. The lava was
again rising in the shaft below the pit.
By afternoon of the 4th it had risen
so as to form a lake in the bottom
of the pit, having an area of over an
acre of surging fire. This has rapidly
risen many feet each day, and at last
reports was within 400 feet of the upper
rim of the pit. Crowd of island visitors with foreign tourists are thronging
to see the great and terrible spectacle.
You descend 600 feet into the great
caldera of Kilauea, then traverse two
miles of hideous black lava, gradually
ascending 400 feet, when you suddenly
face a horrible abyss, in which many
hundred feet below is a sea often acres
of terrific surging fire in fierce ebullition.
There is no spectacle on earth of such
appalling horror and grandeur. It is a
revelation from the nether abysses.
Judging from previous activities in
Kilauea, the lava will be many months
in rising sufficiently to overflow the
upper rim of the pit, whence it will flood
many hundreds of acres ol Kilauea floor
fathoms deep with fresh lava.
Its
aspect while rising in the pit is perhaps
the most interesting.

that our characterization is not too
strong, we quote from the P. C.
Advertiser as follows:
"A great many of those who rode or
drove to the park on Saturday, went
out to see the boys and young men in
the real athletic sports, but there was a
goodly sprinkling of older heads whose
interest was centered on the horse race
between Billy C. and Confederate, and
a considerable amount of Confederate
money dropped with a doleful thud into
the pockets of the friends of Billy C.
But the horses were well matched and
the men who backed their opinion of
C. did so mainly on account of his record. Their judgment still holds good."
Also from the Independent :
"The howl this morning is caused by
the defeat of Confederate on Saturday
by Bill)- C. The backers of Confederate
claim that their jockey acted 'kolohe,'
and was bribed by the Billy C. crowd."
This is dirty work, and we are sorry
to know of the sons of Christian people
being mixed up in it. They got into
foul company.

From Japan.
From a letter of a missionary in Japan
his associates dated Dec. 25th, we
make a brief extract.
The visit of the deputation (Rev. DrsBarton, Bradford, Johnson and Mr.
Ellison) lingers in our memory like a
delightful dream lam convinced that
the more those brethren saw of us the
better they liked us, and the longer they
studied the situation, the more keenly

seemed well pleased with the Mission as
a whole, its intellectual vigor, breadth
of vision, variety of talent, loyalty of
spirit and earnestness of devotion. This
should afford every one of us great joy
and encouragement.
to
The times demand strong leadership
and a sacrificial spirit of service. The
visiting brethren seemed to realize this
to the full, and they keyed us up to a high
pitch of faith and life. From first to
last their words were strong and inspiring, and when on that final Sabbath in
Kyoto, Dr. Bradford marked out so
plainly before those of us who heard his
sermon, the way of the cross as the way
of love and happiness and suffering and
victory, it seemed as though all had been
done in loving faithfulness that words
could do to stir us up to the true nobility
of daily Christian service.
Not self denial but self sacrifice, not
rash and wasteful murder of self but
level beaded, warm hearted devotion of
all one is and has to the work, not loving
America less but Japan more and Christ
This I consider to be
most of all.
the weighty message and gifted appeal
left for our Christmas stockings as those
beloved brethren sailed away from these
Eastern shores. It is ours to heed and
to act. We may deem it the harder part,
but we are set for that picket service,
nay more, we are volunteers for it whatever the dangers and whatever the
difficulties.
The Christ child of this gladsome season with the shadow of the cross falling
athwart his manger couch beckons us
along this path of personal siciificial
service.

Are the security and peace of the
homes of those families where loving
parents are seeking to raise their children
to be god-fearing neighbor loving citizens, enhanced by this new departure of

Do these representatives of the new
order think that they are lending strength
to the government, promoting the good
order of society or helping to build np
an enlightened Christian state by this
manner of spendingthe day set apart by
Cod and man for higher purposes?
It is said that some years since some
persons oblivious to the value of the
Sabbath, began target practice on the
Lord's day in the vicinity of Judge
McCully's residence, to the great annoyance of the good citizen. Judge McCully
communicated the fact to Judge Judd,
the latter notified the Marshal; Mr
Parke promptly appeared on the scene
and the shooting ended.
At a meeting of a company of the
citizen's guard held a few days ago, the
proposition for Sabbath target practice
after a short discussion was decided in
the negative by a vote of perhaps thirty
to one.
Are the Sabbath target shooters setting at defiance the laws of God, the
interests of the government and the
wishes of the majority of our citizens?
Is the Sabbath worth having or worth
keeping?
Is it not time that this community
should seriously considerthesequestions?

received Mercy.'' Most beautifully and
worthily did he bear this name through
all the succeeding years of his life, as
one in whom the mercy and grace ol
God was revealed in a conspicuous
manner. When quite a lad he came to
our Islands with his parents and with
the exception of one visit to China he
has made his home here ever since. He
was an earnest student in the Mission
School of the Berlin Mission in Canton
belore coming here and later he studied
here in Honolulu in different schools.
Some five years ago he was employed
by the Hawaiian Board as assistant to
the Superintendent of the Chinese Mission, and remained in that position until
failing health obliged him to resign.
As one intimately associated with him
for years the writer of these lines would
bear loving testimony to the rare beauty
and symmetry of his Christian life and
to the zeal and ability which he manifested in the discharge of his many and
varied duties. In his death the Hawaiian
Board and the Chinese Mission have
lost a most efficient and valuable helper,
and we who knew and loved him, a
noble companion and fellow laborer.
His faithful mother, brothers and sister
still remain with us and to them we
would extend our heartiest sympathy.
A life such as this, is the most eloquent
testimony to the value of Missionary
work. God grant that firom the youth
of China, many more such jewels may
be gathered to shine through all eternity,
in the Redeemer's Crown !
F. W. D
In Memoriam!
Rev. T. W. Houston of Nanking has
published a remarkable proclamation, of
which he remarks that it is "nothing
less than the most conclusive reply thus
far made to much that passes for wellgrounded judgment as to missionary
work and influence."
Translated, it is as follows :
"Given by Li, by the grace of the
Emperor, Commissioner of Salt Revenue,
Expectant lntendant of Circuit and Prefect of the J iengning (Nanking) Circuit,
being advanced three steps in office and
having one brevet rank, having thirteen
times received honorable mention in
official records:

strictly charging the people concerning
foreigners, who have in whatever points
of the interior established chapels,
schools or like places. For a long time
TO SHAN VAN.
The recent death of this earnest and
talented young Chinese Christian has
brought sorrow to not a few hearts. As
he was for a number of years a faithful
and devoted worker under the Hawaiian
Board, it has been thought fitting to
make here a brief mention of his life and
services. To many both in Honolulu
and in other parts of the group he has
been well known and by them he will
long be missed. He was born in China

ror's commands. Now, having ex 'They manufacture their own sulphuric There are 20,000,000 sheep and 7,000,000
amined the doctrine halls in every place
pertaining to the prefecture, we find that
there have been established free schools
where the poor children of China may
receive instruction; hospitals where
Chinamen may freely receive healing;
that the missionaries all are really good;
not only do they not take the people's
possessions, but they do not seem to desire man's praise.
"Already the Prefect, with the magistrate of the provincial capital, has personally visited each hall and has commanded the magistrates of outside
districts to personally visit each station
of the Churches and talk with the missionaries. They have personally observed
the hospitals, school-houses, etc. They
are for good, established with the sincere
desire to save men. Although Chinamen
are pleased to do good, there are none
who excel these (missionaries).
"We think it right, thetefore, to put
forth this proclamaiion, plainly charging
soldiers and all people. Be it known
that foreigners here renting, or otherwise setting up halls, do so to save and
to help the poor, and that there is not
the least under-handedness.
"Let it not be that you, on the contrary,
wrongly invent false reports, and even
commit crimes and misdemeanors. If
there should be shameless villains who,
thinking to "fish for wealth" (/. c., take
by violence), invent reports and create
disturbances, falsely accusing the missionaries of offences, they will first be
thoroughly examined, then strictly dealt
with. They will be punished to the
fullest measure, certainly not leniently.
You have been informed and warned.
Do not disregard this proclamation.
"Given on the 12th of the Intercalary
sth month, twenty first year of Kuang

Trans-Pacific Competition.
A strong competitor for the transpacific trade is reported as likely to enter
the field. It is the Nippon-Yusen Kaisha,
or Japan Mail Steamship Company,
which owns "over seventy passenger
steamships, leasing as many more."
This company is reported to contemplate
opening a line from Japan to San Francisco or Portland, calling at Honolulu.
Thus the commerce of the Pacific increases, and the shadow of Japan grows
larger over Hawaii. }
A Valuable Industry.
The Pacific Fertilizer Co. whose extensive works are at Kalihi two miles
west on the railway, had an output last
year of 7000 tons of fertilizers which
were sold at an average price of $35 a
ton, or a total of $245,000. They are
now enlarging their works and expect
acid from imported sulphur. The phosphates come from Laysan Island a few
hundred miles west of us. All this constitutes a most important addition to the
productive industries of this country.
It is to be hoped that we shall soon
cease to import many other articles
which can as well be produced hereespecially those of the farm, such as hay,
poultry, pork, dairy products. We need
skilled farmers, who have learned meth

The Nicaragua Canal in Congress.
A Gleam of hope for Lepers.
Senator Parkins has introduced a bill
providing for the issue of 150 million
dollars in bonds for the construction of
the Canal. 'There seems to be a strong
prospect that the undertaking will soon
be put into working order under the
control of the U. S, Government.
A correspondent of the Honolulu
Independent reports from the J'apaii
Weekly Mailoi the 4th of January,
an interview with the eminent bacteriologist, Dr. Kitasoto, to whom
is attributed the statement. "You
may make the announcement that I
have at last succeeded in obtaininga serum that will cure leprosy. I
have tried it with positive and entire
success."
The established character and
ability of Dr. Kitasoto are calculated
to inspire some confidence in the

Hawaiian Band in Distress.
The Hawaiian "National" Band was
recently heard from as being destitute
and starving in Massilon, Ohio. Consul
Wilder of San Francisco has been directed to furnish them with subsistence and
transportation home to Honolulu. The
party is composed of members of the
former Royal band, who refused to serve
the Provisional Government, remaining
loyal to their former queen. They were
induced to travel in the States in hope
of winning money and honor. They
charge their leaders with defrauding
them.
Later accounts report the band to
have found all needed help in the States.

As birds by instinct go on approach of winter to the South, so in

PERSECUTION.
The details of the massacres and
plundering of Armenian Christians,
even in the more mitigated tonus
personally witnessed by the American missionaries, shew that the
Turkish authorities have systematically incited mobs of fanatical Moslems, to rob, slaughter and destroy
their Christian neighbors, both men
and women, with the accompaniment
of unspeakable outrages. Ollicial
reports from commissions sent to
learn the facts, prove a 5,000 deaths,
and as many more are believed to
have been slaughtered in various
parts of Armenia, all by the instigation of Turkish officials. Many
times that number are robbed of all
their possessions, their houses burned, themselves homeless, in rags and
starving in the dead of winter.
The majority of the sufferers are
the less enlightened Christians of the
old Gregorian Catholic church.
But many thousands of them are
earnest and intelligent Bible Christians, who have learned and embraced the truth from the numerous
missionaries of the American Hoard.
Among them are hundreds of able
and devoted Armenian preachers
and teachers educated in the various
mission colleges and seminaries.
Their Hible enlightenment has
spread among the Gregorian Christians, and has greatly elevated their
religious condition, so that among
their priests and people are also
considerable numbers of earnest
and devout Christians.
It is upon such a people that those
horrors of Moslem persecution are
visited. What a vivid realization
these present excesses of murder
and cruelty convey of whatPaul described in the Bth of Romans: "Who
shall separate us from the love of
Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or peisecution, or famine, or
nakedness, or peril or sword? Even
as it is written 'For thy sake we are
killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheepfor the slaughter.'
May the blessed assurance that follows also be fulfilled in the souls of
those suffering Armenian believers:
"Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him
that loved us."
It seems not unreasonable to hope
that all those sufferings of Armenian
Christians will not be in vain; but
that a better day for the Moslem
ridden population of Asia Minor is
soon to dawn, as the fruit of those
tribulations..
Liquor License Reform.
While exceedingly anxious that the
present Legislature should go forward
to effective action for the diminution ot
the present immense drunkenness, especially among the- native Hawaiians,
we are far from sanguine in the hope ot
any immediate radical action in this
direction. The opposition is immense
from the large capital so long profitably
invested in this murderous business,
which destroys men, body and soul, by
wholesale. How shall the followers oi
Christ best work with Him for the destruction of this great "work of the Devil,"
the Liquor Traffic in Hawaii ? It will
17
Number
3
in time be destroyed. Can we not
hasten thai end ? We can pray and we
can labor for it. We can endeavor our
utmost to day to gain some legislation
for the restriction and diminution of the
power of the Saloons.
Nothing is more essential than such
reform for saving the fast dwindling
native race from extinction. Nothing
is more rapidly decimating this poor
people than the drunkenness which so
prevails among them. It disables their
industry. It keeps them in poverty.
It saps their health. It is the parent of
vice among them. Is this evil work to
be continued, in order that a few wholesale dealers may continue Iheir iniquitous gains ?
Will not our present excellent Legislative body see their way clear to an
effective restriction and diminution of
this evil ?
The Opium Bill.
As expected, the Hill to license the
sale of Opium was one of the first to be
introduced in the Senate. It was vigorously denounced by Senator Waterhoufce, but vv.is passed to a second reading, its opponents believing that it was
better to discuss the question. We are
glad to believe that the measure will
meet little favor in the Legislature.
Under the present prohibitory law
hardly any use the fascinating drug except Chinese who had become habituated to it before arriving here. To license
it means the spread of the vice to .11
classes of the people, with an especially
deadly effect upon the native Hawaiians
as proved by past experience.
A Useful Business Life.
Mr. Alexander 11. Young has now retired from the managership of the Honolulu Iron Works. He has exercised
the management of this immense establishment for a long period of years with
the highest ability and success. To Mr.
Young's mechanical genius, inventive
and business ability, more than to
those of any other individual, are due
that splendid development and perfection
ofour Sugar Machinery to which Hawaii

In his earlier volume entitled "A Candid Examination of Theism," by Physical, published in IN7B, Mr. Romanes
had written:
"Forasmuch as I am far from being
able to agree with those who affirm that
the twilight doctrine of the 'new faith' is
a desirable substitute for the waning
splendor of'the old,' 1 am not ashamed
to confess that, with this virtual negation
of God, the universe to me has lost its
soul of loveliness; and although from
henceforth the precept to 'work while it
is day' will doubtless but gain an intensified meaning of the words that 'the
night cometh when no man can work,'
yet when at times I think, as think at
times I must, of the appalling contrast
between the hallowed glory of that creed
which once was mine, and the only mystery of existence as now I find it,—at
such times I shall ever feel it impossible
to avoid the sharpest pang of which my
nature is susceptible."
It is as gratifying as it is significant
of the trend of modern thought, to learn
that this noble mind came at last to see
the truth more clearly as foreshadowed
in his posthumous volume "Thoughts
on Religion," reviewed in our last number. After perusing this volume, one is
not surprised to learn from Canon Gore,
bis spiritual adviser, that Mr. Romanes
"returned before his death to that full,
deliberate communion with the church
of Jesus Christ which he had for so
many years been conscientiously compelled to forego." It is significant, also,
that a few clays after her husband's
death, Mrs. Romanes wrote to Mr.
Gulick, telling how Mr. Romanes was
engaged in literary work until an
hour betore his death, and then adds:
"His unselfishness and patience during
these two years was something marvelous; and during the last few months he
bad seen his way to facing many difficulties, and God had given him light
and help."

The following letter to her sister, Miss

is from the pen of the d.voted missionary

Two earlier letters by Mrs. Shepard

of their having come from Zeitoun.

now, and we daily expect to hear of its
extermination or something worse.
The villages all through that region
have been devastated, men killed and
women and children left to starve Ol
worse—the oft repeated story of Sassoun
massacres.
Three hundred women and children
were driven from those villages into poor
Marash, which is half destroyed by lire
and what people are left are starving.
These wretched creatures were housed
in one of the two remaining churches
there, huddled together and are calling
for bread. When we hear of the terrible
woe that reigns throughout the land,
the condition of Aintab seems comparatively comfortable. But it makes our
hearts sick to see the hundreds of poor
homeless creatures crowded into the
church school rooms in rags and filth,
where they get a scanty meal of bread
in the morning and cracked wheat in the
evening, and at night have nothing but
a mat to sleep on and a scant covering
of an old quilt or rug contributed by
their neighbors or collected from the
church floor. The poor, pale, sicklychildren, many of whom will die before
the winter is over.
Besides these homeless hundieds,
there are hundreds of others who are
yet staying in the wretched hovels that
have been stripped of everything but the
food laid up for the winter, which the
plunderers, in their haste, left partly or
wholly untouched. Such families are
obliged to remain in their own houses
and their condition is only one degree
less pitiful than that of those at the
church refuge. Hundreds are living on
their poor relatives, only to improverish
them the more. Meantime, no Chris
tian, even of the very few who have
their workshops, can venture out to
work in them. Several have made the
attempt, only to be beaten and driven
home. This week four such men were
killed.
A mob had started from the
lower city where the fanatical rabble are
waiting like wild animals to attack Christians again, when they can get a chance.
These poor men, who had returned to
their work in the market, were attacked
and killed before the soldiers could or

does not come to the rescue. I never
expected to see such misery and despair.
I never realized how bad the world is—
how wicked and devilish mankind in the
nineteenth century can be. These poor,
simple-minded people with childlike
faith are crying in their distress day and
night to the God of all power, and as no
answer comes their hearts grow faint
and some are ready to despair. Morning and afternoon the churches are filled
with suppliants. I wish you to make a
special plea for our needle workers. A
contribution for the most needy of them
would be such a lift for my poor crushed
heart.

This aged friend has passed away, at

the old Bethel Church, and a strong

Three years more would have completed
her half century of union with her honored husband, Henry M. Whitney, who is

Confidence in Hawaiian Finances.
In an address to the Senate on the
21st, Finance Minister Damon made the
following important statement:—
"For myself personally I have been
connected with this office for nearly
three years, and from the manner in
which the public have subscribed for our
bonds here in our own community I have
been highly gratified. Up to the present
time, from our own resources here in
these islands there has been subscribed
something over $540,000 for our own
bonds; and when a community will have
faith in any government, a government
whose resources are somewhat limited
and where they see everything that is
going on in connection with the Government, and will come forward and subscribe for over a half million in bonds, it
has given me a great deal of encouragement to continue in the handling of the
finances, and if we continue in the conservative manner in which we have acted for the last three years with the continually increasing improvements, I am
certain that it is only a matter of a short
time until our indebtedness will be largely decreased; for we are now showing
steady advance"

THE FRIEND
Death of John T.
Waterhouse.
Our whole community, and especially
the Central Union Church, of which he
was one of the most active members,
were shocked and deeply afflicted by the
death on March 2nd, of this greatly beloved and esteemed citizen. Mr. Waterhouse grew up among us from boyhood
into high mercantile eminence. He was
a man of exceptionally pure and elevated
character, of strong and sound judgment, and of the greatest diligence and
fidelity to every duty and trust. Still in
the prime of life he has really died of
overwork in consequence of excess of
labors resulting from the settlement of
his father's estate.
Mr. Waterhouse was for many years
Superintendent of the C. U. Ch. Sunday
school, also a most valued Deacon.
His public prayers were fervent and ap
propriate.
He was for sometime a member of the
Council of State, and for a short time
the temporary President of the Board of
Health, of which he has long been a judicious and active member.
Our deepest sympathies go out to the
bereaved sister and brothers, and especially to the honored widow and the
eight children. Three sons pursuing
education in Eastern colleges have yet
to learn of their loss.
"Christian" Evangelists.
During the past three weeks, there
have been laboring in the "Christian"
church with Pastor Garvin, the Rev. J.
A. L. Romig, and his musical coadjutor,
Otis Harrel. Their daily evening meet
ings have been well attended. It is to
be hoped that many wandering sinners
may Jhrough their labors become savingly turned to the Redeemer. Like all of
his sect, Brother Romig lays extreme
stress upon the importance of immersion.
Hawaii's First Constitution.
A series of interesting lectures have
been given at the Y. M. C. A. Hall
under the auspices of that Association.
The one of most permanent interest
was the very valuable account by Chief
Justice Judd, of the first Constitution of
Hawaii, promulgated by King Kauikeaouli, in October, IK4O. The lecture was
printed entire in the Evening Bulletin.
Probably few persons here were aware
that such a constitution had existed.
It was a wonderful result of only
twenty years of Christian enlightenment.
Like Magna Charta to Britain, it was
the earliest clear landmark of the progressive Liberal franchises attained in
the Hawaiian State.
[March, 1896.
Minister Willis and the 17th January.
Kindergarten Training Graduates.
Much has been made both here and
in American papers of the refusal of
U. S. Minister Willis to participate in
celebration as a public holiday of the
anniversary of the overthrow of the
Monarchy, the event to which the Re
public of Hawaii owes its existence.
While we hold the event and the day in
the highest honor, it appears due to the
Minister to observe, that it seems too
much to expect that he should participate in honoring the event. It was his
painful duty two years ago to fulfil the
commission of President Cleveland, and
to declare the overthrow of the monarchy
to have been an unjust act accom|>lished
by the display of United States naval
force. He accordingly demanded of
President Dole that he should restore
the Queen. After such a demonstration
as that, how could this diplomat now
join in celebrating as glorious the set
which he officially denounced as iniqui
tous ? It was certainly a curious
dilemma. Our Government will readily
tolerate some peculiar action in the U.
S. Representative under the very singular circumstances.
On the afternoon of February 19th, at
Emma Hall, were held the graduating
exercises or Miss Kastman's Class of
Kindergarten Teachers, which had been
conducted during the past year and a
half under the auspices of the Kindergarten Association. Miss Eastman is
an accomplished expert in that branch of
instruction, and her class of select young
ladies have worked hard and acquired
great proficiency in the mysteries of
Froebel's admirable system of training
infant minds.
The Hall was gracefully decorated; a
large assembly of friends of the work
were present. During the afternoon the
handiwork of the graduates was on exhibition in the adjoining rooms, and was
much admired, as illustrating the lessons
in form, color and construction through
which the baby minds are pleasantly
The Military Force of the Repoblic.
By Minister Cooper's statement to
the Senate on the sth, it is learned that
the Military force of the Government
(excluding volunteer companies) consists
of 11 officers, 26 non-commissioned
officers, 3 musicians, and 75 privates, in
all 110 men. The sum of $126,000 was
passed as their cost for two years. It
is remarked that with such a force maintained, their services in war are unlikely
to be called for, while without such a
force, there would be constant insecurity, in the present state of public affairs.
Besides this force always on duty,
there is a thoroughly drilled and equipped body of several hundred volunteers
prompt to answer to a call.
Interesting Relics Sold,
Last week, Auctioneer Morgan held
a two days' sale of several thousand
pieces of table ware, silver and cut
glass, which had belonged to the table
services used in the Palace by various
monarchs. A majority of the pieces
had the Royal monograms, especialy
that of Kalakaua. These brought fabulous prices as souvenirs. For a silver center piece $550 was paid by Mr.
Theo. H. Davies. Kalakaua's Austrian
helmet was purchased by Miss Kate
Field of journalistic fame, for $17. H
selection of table ware and other royal
curios was reserved for the Bishop

The Exercises were in part a series of
"Hall" songs, sung by the class. Two
Fssays were read, one full of thought by
Miss Laura Piles on "Religion in the
Kindergarten." Miss Pires is a daughter
of the able Madeira exde who helped
found the Portuguese Mission in Hawaii.
Miss Ozawa read an essay on "Play"
as the foundation of all Kindergarten
work. This essay indicated a rare degree
of intelligence and culture in the graceful Japanese lady, the more remarkable
that she is from the peasant class, formerly educated in Fort Street School,
but receiving additional culture in Tokio.
Miss Ozawa has taught the Japanese
Kindergarten the past year.
Short addresses were made by Mrs.
Dr. Hyde and Mrs. H. C. Coleman,
after which Diplomas were presented to
the following young ladies: the Misses
Frances Bindt, Mildred S. Kinney, Ito
Ozawa, Laura S. Piles, Flora M. Smith,
Caroline Snow, Ella L. Thrum, and
Isabel F. Tarbell, Certificates of proficency were also given 10 the Misses
Abigail Aikue and Nellie Kahnila.
Several of these graduates have enjoyed years of practice in Kindergarten
teaching. A full supply of trained teachers is thus now ensured for the present
needs of this expanding work.
After several years of successful and
acceptable administration, during which
a splendid gymnasium and other improvements have been added to the
Y. M. C. A., General Secretary Corbett
has retired from that office to engage in
business. A new Secretary lias been
sent for.
U. S. Minister Willis has announced
his intention of leaving in a few days for
a visit to his home in Louisville, Ky.
He takes the furlough of sixty days to
which he is entitled. We cordially ex
press the hope of his return to his post
in due time.

Important Tax Reform.
The Finance Minister has proposed,
and the Legislature appear to approve,
a most important change in the Tax
Law, by changing the date of assessments from July Ist to January Ist.
This will enable the assessors to place
some proper valuation on the immense
sugar crops, which by July Ist have been
completely removed and are non-existent.
As the result of that abuse, the Sugar
Plantations composing two-thirds of the
wealth of the country have hitherto been
assessed at not more than one-third of
their actual value. Cases have been
known where the assessed valuation has
been exceeded by the annual dividend
made. Hereafter these rich corporations
are likely to pay more nearly their fair
proportion of the public burden.

Consul General Shimanura's Estimate
of the Japanese Evangelists.
The representative of the Pacific Island Empire, Mr. Shimamura, has just
returned from a tour of some weeks to
the windward islands where he has been
visiting many of the plantations that
have Japanese contract laborers. Me
says that he sees clearly that those
Japanese upon plantations where Christian Japanese evangelists are employed
are better off than those upon the plantations that are destitute of such aid to
right living. He hopes that the Hawaiian Board will go forward in its good
work until all the laborers from Japan
shall be reached by the Christian evangelist. We rejoice in such free and
unequivocal testimony from one so
eminently qualified to jud;,e of the effect
of the services rendered by these evangelists, for the uplifting of their countrymen.

Extracts From Letter of Miss Annie
E. Abell.
Ruk, Micronesia, Oct. 98, '95.
Dear Friend:
A vessel is now in the lagoon on its
way to Japan, so we are preparing to
send letters.
I reached Ruk Aug. 19th, after seven
weeks more on the "Morning Star,"
reading or writing in the cabin by day,
and chatting or star gazing on deck in
the evening. The misery of the first
days of the voyage up began Feb. 19th,
and the tedious weeks which followed,
now seem like a dream, while the pleasant weeks spent with the kind Honolulu
friends stand out distinctly to be remembered with pleasure and gratitude. And
the different services attended at the
church were more helpful and inspiring
than I can tell. I came back to my
work much refreshed, not only physically- but spiritually and mentally as
well, and surely I should do better
work for the season of rest and change.
The return voyage was a pleasant and
comfortable one.
It does not seem possible that it is
already more than two months since I
returned. Time passes quickly here
as every where, when one is busily and
happily employed.

Iras where the people are now building
church, and a teacher has just started
a general school. Hopeful meetings
have been held in other places in the
lagoon, and we believe the Spirit is at
work in the hearts of the people. Not a
few of those who had fallen away are
now expressing an earnest desire to
come back r.nd make a new beginning.
Moses came a few clays ago, joyful with
the news of a renewed interest among
his people at Uman, of a large school
and larger Sunday audiences. Reports
from other out-stations tell of increasing
attendance at school and Sunday scr
vices. Our school is small, but we have
reason to think that it will grow in the
coming months. Surely there must be
a blessing in store for Ruk.
One of the donkeys is doing good
service carrying Mr. Price to Iras every
Sunday. I have been out on him several
times, "just for fun." He did beautifully the last time. Perhaps it was
owing to the large number of out-runners, only twenty-five! The girls thought
it great sport to "pursue Miss Apel on
that taniki." Altogether it was quite a
lark. The "taniki" are a source of much
curiosity to the natives. The second
Sunday Mr. Price went to Iras on him
he found the shore lined with people to
see "that animal."
They are going to be of valuable service in the work on our island. The
natives say that the bray of the donkeys
is like the Morning Star's whistle !
We think often of the new "Logan,"
and wonder if she has started on her
way. We hope she will get here for a

"The Morning Star."
By letter received by Mr. P. C. Jones
from Capt. Garland, of date Butaritari,
Gilbert Islands, Dec. Ist, we learn that
the missionary vessel had visited Kusaie
and the Marshall Islands, without disaster more serious than the tearing of sails.
She was now to go down through the
Gilbert group and assist in the general
meeting to be held at N'onouti.
After this she would go westward
touching again at Kusaie and on to Ruk.
Messrs. Nun and Kaai of the Gilbert
Islands, Mr. Channon and family from
Kusaie, and Mr. Snelling and family
from Ruk, expect to come up in the
Star; and in addition to these, Capt.
Bray and wife and daughter and a part
of the crew of the Robert Logan will
also come up in her.
Captain Garland says that if the
"Logan" takes the Mortlock work this
year, he may be in Honolulu by the first
of April.
Rev. W. B. Kapu.
On the sth of March died and was
buried from the Queen'l Hospital, Rev.
W. B. Kapu, for the past three years
pastor of the Hawaiian church at Hanalei, Kauai. This man who was a
typical representative of the old time
Hawaiian, had a long, varied and remarkable can i r for one of his generation.
In the records of the very first year
of the existence of the Hawaiian Board
1K63, we find his name associated
in
with those of Rev. Hiram Bingham
and Rev. M. Mahoe as a missionary on
Apaiang, Gilbert Islands. Soon after he
was stationed on the larger island of
Tapiteuea. In the destructive internecine
war on Tapiteuea, he escaped unscathed
being in the northern part of the island
and in company with the victorious
party. After the death of his wife in
1875 or 1H76 he returned to Honolulu,
and went out again to his field on Tapiteuea in 1h77. Later, he took to himself
as wife a Gilbert Island woman, and
entering into business, his connection
with the mission ceased.
By some means he incurred the displeasure of the British Commissioner to
the Gilbert Islands and was directed to
leave the group. Taking passage on the
blackbird steamer Monserrat he went
to Guatemala, finally found his way to
San Francisco, and back to his native
land, where for three years or so he has
been in pastoral work. His Gilbert
Island wife sleeps in Hanalei valley, and
two children, a son and daughter mourn
his loss. He was 64 years of age at his
Eighteen or twenty years ago, upon
his visit to the Orient, General Grant
was received with profound respect by
the great Chinaman Viceroy Li Hung
Chang, and by the Emperor of Japan.
At that early date .differences had
arisen between China and Japan as to
the rights of suzerainity over the Loo
Choo or Liv Kiu Islands.
Both the Chinese and the Japanese
governments consulted with their distinguished visitor regarding the matters
in dispute between them.
General Grant's advice to both China
and Japan, was, that they should keep
peace between themselves, for said he,
if China and Japan go to war with each
other, when they get through, European
nations will step in and reap the benefits,
to the damage of the Eastern nations.
The outcome of Japan's attempt to
mould and reform Korea, which led to
the war with China, must be very disappointing to her. And now that Russia
is stepping in to take possession of
Korea from which Japan has by war decease.

A Planfor Restricting the Liquor Traffic
At a meeting of temperance people
called by a committee ot the Y. M. C. A.,
and the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, about ten days since, there was
submitted by the joint-committee a plan
for limiting or restricting the sale of intoxicating drinks in this country. The
details of the plan were not fully worked
out, but in a measure the scheme resembled the Gothenberg system. The drinking saloon is to be abolished, dispensaries oflimited number are to be opened
for the sale of liquors in sealed packages.
These dispensaries are to be as unlike
the gilded saloon as possible, nothing
attractive being allowed. The dispensary is to be naught but a business place,
whence liquors may be dispensed in certified packages not to be opened or drank
on the premises.
It is thought that this arrangement
will greatly reduce or prevent public
drunkenness, such as now often disgraces
this once peaceful land.
The staunch prohibitionists in our
midst, some of whom were present,
while not sanguine as to the benefits of
the new proposition, have given a qualified approval of the scheme in the hope
that this may be a stepping stone to
something better, some more thoroughgoing measnre.
While the politicians were seeking by
legislation to increase the value of the
depreciated paper currency of the United
States, that the government might get
back to a cash basis and resume specie
payments, Horace Greeley's advice to
the Government was expressed in the
following terse language:—"The way
to resume is to resume."
So the advice of the prohibitionist to
those who desire to stop the ravages of
drunkenness in the land, is, to stop it.
The way to prohibit is to prohibit.
We believe that the time is not far
distant when the civilized Christian
communities of our globe will not permit one man to destroy his fellow man
by placing before him the passion of
1
alcoholic drink.
Any scheme for licensing of the manufacture, or sale of the fell destroyers of
the race, can only be justified by the
prohibitionist on the ground of its being
a stepping stone to
a
early and total
prohibition.
We pray that this Legislature may,
by law, direct the Board of Education to
see to it, that in all the schools of the
land which the government shall aid, or
shall permit to exist on Hawaiian soil,
every scholar shall be instructed as to
the poisonous and destructive character
of alcoholic drinks.—O. H. G.

Thurston's
Reply to
The Legislative Session.
Gresham.
Ex-Envoy and Minister Thurston furnished to Miss Kate Field a statement
of his case against the late U. S. Secretary of State, W. Cj. Gresham, who a
year ago demanded his recall by the
Hawaiian Government. This statement
had been postponed in consequence of
the death of Mr. Gresham. The reopening of the subject by President Cleve
land's message, has now called forth
Mr. Thurston's defense. It appeared in
the Chicago Times-Herald.
The ex-minister makes a long series
of charges against Mr. Gresham of
grossly offensive and neglectful treatment, both of himself personally and of
his Government. Some of tne facts
stated formerly appeared in President
Dole's noted Letter of Specifications, of
January 1894. Mr. Thurston closes
with the following forcible sentence:
"I submit that if in defending my
Country and my Government against
the continuous attempts of Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gresham to ruin and overthrow them, I unwittingly brushed the
bloom from the cheek of the delicate
creature knownas "diplomaticetiquette,"
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gresham have
clubbed her into insensibility, and driven
over her with a coach and four."
This conclusion seems fully justified
by the facts alleged.
—
The first Regular biennial Session of
the Legislature of the Republic of Hawaii, was convened on the morning of
the 19th of February. President Dole
read his Message. He recommended
improved Sanitary arrangements, and
increased Educational facilities on account of the increasing number of school
children. A liberal expenditure for public Improvements was urged, to be provided for by Loans, Prominent among
these were Roads on Hawaii, and
Wharves in Honolulu and Hilo, also the
road over Nuuanu Pali. Improvements
in the Land ACT were recommended.

to be able to talk to them and tell them
of Christ's wonderful love. We sung a
hymn that Mr Price had taught them,
and Ruth led in prayer. She then spent
some time in teaching them the Lord's
prayer, after which she gave them a little
talk on Christ's blessing little children,
which I had taught her the evening
before. We had good attention all
through, and felt that our first meeting
was a success. We shall go every two
weeks. After the service I talked with
the women and some of the little girls
asking them to leave off their paint and
ring's, which they promised to do. How
many of them meant it ?
April *th. To-day we went to Oman
to see Moses and his wife, Mr. Logan's
old helper. I hesitated to go as it is a
long ride and I had the headache, but
finally decided to go so as to get used to
the boat. We started about 9 a.m. and
arrived at the place about noon. Moses
has a nice four roomed house built of
boards wHn ■ thatched roof. It was
clean, with tables, chairs, beds, and
pictures on the walls, a good clock, and
looked quite like living. Moses and his
wife are fine specimens of what Christianity can do for these people. The
people from all around came to meet us,
neatly dressed and clean, so different
from the half naked heathen who meet
us in so many other places. The bell
rang but being very tired I rested at the
house. As they came back from service,
Zipporah, Moses' wife, laid the table
with a cloth, knives, forks, plates,
glasses, a nicely cooked breadfruit, and
fried fish. With our sandwiches, canned
peaches, and milk, we made a royal
dinner. Moses ate with us, but Zipporah declined. After dinner Mr. Price
brought out his medicine-box and dispensed medicine to all who came for
about an hour. With a good wind we
had a lovely sail home, enlivened by a
tropical pour. This is my first long
trip in the boat, (about twelve miles)
and I am quite encouraged, as I was
sick only a very little. Helen is never
so happy as when on the boat. Some
of the places her papa does not think it
best for her to go to, as there is rather
too much of a display of heathenism.
How we long for the time for the glorious change to come, as it will if we are
only faithful.
May 20th. A new experience in missionary work. A number of the Iras
men and boys wished to cut their hair,
and take the rings out of their ears, but
would not do so till they could have
some clothing. They seem to think
they are neither Christians nor heathen,
if they cut the hair, take out the rings,
�26
leave off the paint, and wear their own
clothes. A shirt is all that is necessary
to satisfy them, and while I think they
really look better in their own sheet-like
garments than in a shirt only, I thought
it was best to satisfy them. We wanted
some land cleared, and I told Mr. Price
tohirethem, and I would maketheshirts.
I made fifteen pink calico shirts, big and
little, and didn't I get to hate the sight
of them. Ruth helped me some; they
were not very elaborate. As each man
got his shirt, off came the long hair and
rings, and a number of them scared up
pants somewhere, so that they soon
looked a different set of men.
Another new role for us is that of
peacemaker between our boys and girls.
Like all heathen people these know
nothing about self-control, and when
two of then come together to live they
do not make a very happy home. The
general custom is when the woman
gets angry, she runs home to her father's
or hides till hunted up. The man when
he gets angry grabs the baby if there is
one and runs to the beach, and later
indulges in the pleasant pastime of cutting up his wife's dresses, or her thread
which she has prepared for weaving, or
anything of hers on which he can lay his
hands. When we first came there were
two young men and their wives came to
live with us. One couple seemed to get
along very nicely, but the other couple
never could agree. She is a very nice
girl, foi she is nothing but a girl, and
both are Christians. Twice after they
came she ran away to her mother's
which is two miles away. The last time
she was gone from Saturday morning
till Sunday afternoon when her husband
brought her home. I had her told that
this conduct must be stopped right away.
Mr. Price and I have talked to them,
till we begin to think they will sometime
live in peace.
Our other boy Alonzo had been doing
so well and we were hoping so much
from him as he seemed to be getting
hold of spiritual truths. All at once he
flew off at a tangent. Their little boy
got his thumb badly crushed in the
door, and he imagined that it was his
wife's fault. He snatched up the child
and ran to the beach, the baby screaming all the way. I called to him but he
would not listen to me. I finally sent
the other boy to tell him to come home.
He sent the baby but himself went off to
another island and spent the day with
his older brother who has gone back to
heathenism and is trying his best to get
him too He came home about 4 p.m.
and Helen came running and said "Oh,
mamma, Alonzo is down there cutting
up Damaris' dresses." I went down to
his house and there lying outside was
her dress all cut to pieces. He had
brought his brother's knife, to do it with.
I saw it useless to speak to him and
came away. He then picked up the
baby and started offto his mother's, and
I came up to the house to cry and pray.

much pleased with Helen as they had
children of their own in Manila, and no
doubt were glad of the sight of a white
child. She went over twice to the ship
with her papa. They wanted very much
to give her something, but it was very
hard to find anything on board a manof-war for a little girl. They gave her
a can of jelly and a bar of sweet-scented
soap. Now what does all this mean r
So far as these men are concerned we
believe they are sincere. Hut they have
a Catholic government back of them,
and the priests are on the lookout all
the time, so we can only hope that all
will go smooth in the future. We will
take the good as long as it lasts and
leave the rest with God.
The people were pleased because they
were kind to them and to us. The)
have done no taxing yet. All they did
was to gather the chiefs together where
they had been lighting and make peace
and try to bind them to keep it. We
sincerely hope that they will be able to
put an end to the fighting here. The
chiefs to the west of us have renewed
the fighting lately, and we fear they will
get into trouble when the .Spanish return
as they said they intend doing in January. They told them if they continue to
fight they would take the chiefs to Ponape and put them in prison.
Oct. 29th. There has a trading schoner just come from Ponape and the Gov
ernor has sent Helen a present of two
goats and two pairs of pigeons, which
pleases her much. Moses was over the
other day and his report of the work at
his place is very encouraging. The
people are coming to church and school
from all parts of the island. It cheers
us, for we feel that it is only the begin
ning of the answer to our prayers. We
have claimed this Ruk lagoon for Christ,
and day by day we hold it up to him.
There is no doubt about it, his promises
are yea and amen in Christ Jesus. The
seed that has been sown in the past, and
the life, noble and true, that was laid
down for these people, will bring forth
fruit. We have sent one of our boys to
Iras to day to open a school there. The
progress that the people have made there
in less than a year is wonderful. How

seems to do it. I have had two tonics
lately for contentment, and I think I
hardly needed either very much, I was
so happy before. The first was Mrs.
Jewetfs charming life of her father, Or.
Gulick. After I read that, I felt as if I
never wanted to have a discontented
thought even, over the Micronesia of
those days. Think of it, chopping flour
out of a barrel with a hatchet, and then
having to eat the stuff 01 starve. (That
was a common condition of our flour in
Hawaii over sixty years ago, besides
being full of worms. The bread was
half sweet potatoes. Ed. Friend.) We
have such splendid bread; our flour
comes out of the tins as nice as it leaves

San Francisco,
Then all the canned
vegetables we can have, while they are
not good like fresh ones, they are a vast
improvement over none at all. With
our milk, cream and butter in abundance,
we do not lack for the necessaries of
life. If our wicked hearts do sometimes
long for the leeks and garlics of Egypt,
it is not for long. The time we feel it
is when some one is sick, and we long
for the ice and the cooling drinks, and
the dainties of the home market to tempt
the appetite. So far we have had very
little sickness. Then think again of the
long months when they waited and
watched in vain for a ship to bring the
mail and provisions. Our white-winged
Stai is sure to come at just about such
» time. * * On top of this I read the
Bishop's Conversion, Ugh ! the horrid
snakes; did you know, we do not have
one ? As the custom house officer told
Joaquin Miller "He no snake in all Hawaii." Small-pox, cholera, heat intense
almost unbearable, fevers, and what not
in India. Why when I put mail even
spelled with the biggest type in the
whole printer's outfit in with all these
it went away up in the scale. Our
beautiful island, washed clean with her
drenching showers, kissed by the sea
and fanned by the ocean breezes, how
sweet and lovely it is. Our beautiful
lagoon, changing, restful, soothing, how
many happy moments,
yes hours, I
spend watching it, and the beautifui
sunsets beyond the other islands in the
distance.

home every day, and the work he has
given us here. No other place surpasses
It in my estimation, except California,
the land of perfection.
February sth, 1890. I shall have to
bring my letter to a close, as the "Star"
goes day after to-morrow.
We have
been rather an afflicted family lately.
Seven weeks ago Mr. Price was taken
with malarial fever, and was very ill for
two weeks, then two weeks when he
gained slowly. But January 26th, he
was taken with dysentery and has been
very sick for a week. He is improving
now, and we think the worst is over.
During all this time, I was his only
nurse. I assure you it was a hard time
and only by holding tight to my Savior's
hand could I keep up. At last on the
twenty-third it seemed as if all the waves
and billows came over me, and it almost
seemed as if God had forsaken us. I
said in my anguish, "Ah, Lord, is it
Yes it was.
not the fourth watch?"
Next morning the Morning Star came,
and on it Dr. Pease Did you ever see
him ? Six feet two, and every inch of
him just as good as he is big. What a
load he lifted from our hearts ! How I
wished I could have trusted just one
more day.
Ja"uary 27th our little baby boy came,
and now we are all very happy. Helen
is delighted with her little brother, and
thinks she will never be lonely. She
and Ruth have been my house-keepers,
*
and have done all the cooking and waiting on us both. The little feet were
very tired some nights, but she never
let a murmur escape her lips. Mr. Price
is doing well now, and we hope another
week he will be quite well. By the time
you receive this we will all be well and
happy as usual.
Your loving Siste,

almost three feet wide, and a little more
than a foot high—our pupils all sit on
the floor.
Nov. 21. We have been having
stormy weather the last two weeks—
heavy rains and hard winds. We fear
much damage has been done to the
breadfruit crop. A great many of the
half-grown fruit have fallen, and the
storm made a spray from the sea which
is harmful. Also a large number of
banana trees have been blown down on
our own grounds. There has been little
fresh food for a long time, so the people
are longingly waiting for the new breadfruit. There is always plenty of the
preserved bread-fruit; but they say they
cannot eat it without fish or other sea
food to go with it, and when they do
not have that they prefer to go hungry.

quently raise a great many pigs, which
is a cause of great trial to us, tor they
have a fondness for our growing taro,

One morning when the wind was
still blowing quite hard, I heard a conch
blowing, and on inquiring what it was
for, was told that they were preparing to
"work the spirits," as they wanted the
wind to stop blowing. It had already
gone down some, but as it was considerably lighter the next morning, they no
doubt thought it the result of their spirit
worship.
* * The girls are gathering stones
for a mound which I plan to arrange
with ferns near the house. I have not
found many varieties of ferns, eight I
think. But those we have grow in great
number, and the frequent rains keep
them always fresh and green.

refused to let me land other teachers.
The only time I met the Commissioner
after my return was here, and he
remarked that they had the most devil
worship he ever saw.
Nonouti. —Abera's work on the south
is very encouraging. Here are the
French headquarters, with some six
priests and nine nuns, and their vessels
lying at anchor
most of the year.
At
the other two stations the teachers and
scholars have been almost idle, except
looking out for food on this drought
island.
Tapiteuea. —At this island the school
work has gone on quite steady with
some ten teachers. Of course the Catholic children could not attend. The
dancing if any is very private. Rev.
Paaluhi's work in his district goes on
steadily, while Rev. Kaaia is bishop over
a territory thirty miles long. This missionary is also the expert S. S. teacher
for old and young. He cannot leave his
field, although a vacation has been
granted to him.
Banaba. —The faithful Enoch has died
From cancer. His widow went astray
enticing some others who fell. Thus
this year no contribution and fewer
attend the meetings. The bodies of the
heathen are covered with ornaments;
the teacher had hard work to keep them
from dstroying his mango and lime and
sour-sop trees for to make ornaments of
the leaves. This teacher Taremon and
his wife are steady going and uncomplaining, and had been seven years on
this rock without a change. They now
take another year at Kusaie.
Pleasant Island —The Germsn Kom
issar has decided against the teachers
ever returning.
Conclusion. While rain has fallen
quite sufficient in the northern part of
the group, and enough to revive the
southern islands, the continuous dancing
with feasts and DO work keeps the islands as destitute as a real drought. We
shall put in an earnest plea to the new
Commissioner to stop the dancing and
other harmful games.
As to Catholicism the French are in
good force. The Bishop and nine sisters
arrived by S S. Archer. Two of the
men have died the present year, and the
superior ol the sisters is reported as
being very weak.

Seminary Entertainment.
This excellent school for native girls
ie in full activity.
An interesting entertainment w is given
on the evening of the 20th in their hall,
largely attended by natives.
"The programme was an elaborate
one, the first part consisting of songs,
solos, duets, trios and twenty "living
pictures." The latter were posed behind
a huge golden frame, and with the aid
of brilliant and effective costumes, rep
resented Spring, Mary, Queen of Scots,
Ophelia, a Modern Sappho, Miriam,
Hawaii and others.
"Part two was the cantata, The Fairy
Bridal, which introduced many of the
Midsummer Night's Dream. The costumes of Titania, Oberon, Aurora
Storm Spirit were especially pretty, and
those of the gnomes were most unique.
The whole program reflected much
credit upon the teachers of the school,
Miss Kate Watson, who has charge of
the music, deserving special commenat Makawao seems to

Our Missionary Ship unexpectedly
arrived on March Itith. She came direct
from Ruk. Besides Captain Garland's
family, her only passengers were Rev.
K. M. Pease, M.D., and Miss Crosby of
the Ruk Mission, together with Rev.
N'ua and Rev. Kaai and wife, Hawaiian
missionaries from the Gilbert Islands.
It is much regretted that the "Star"
failed to connect with the Robert IF.
Logan which sailed from here January
4th, as Capt. Bray and family trusted to
returning in the "Star." Capt. Garland
was wholly without knowledge of the
Logan's movements, or even whether
she had been actually built. A report
of the Star's voyage will be found in the
Hawaiian Board columns. Capt. Gar

Eastern States, expecting to return to
his vessel in June.
[April, 1896.
L. A. Thurston on Opium.
The following is taken from an address
of Mr. Thurston before the American
League. Of special value are the remarks on our duty to the native Hawaiians. Mr. Thurston deprecates action
upon either Opium or Liquor questions
until annexation is secured, lest divisions
be created between the supporters of the
Government.
"I do not think the financial side of
the opium subject should be considered.
Opium is an unmitigated evil anywhere,
and compared with liquor it was an
undivided evil. Liquor has always been
used by our race, but there has never
been a use of opium that does not work
harm. It is a death-dealing evil that
should not be kept on.
"Does prohibition prohibit ? This is
not a new question. Under license the
use of the drug increased. Those of
yoil who were here will remember how
young men who begin the use of the
drug became total physical wrecks.
Those who are not wrecks today are
dead from the effects of its use. There
are men here who say: 'There's no use
trying to save the Kanakas; they are
going to the devil anyhow; give them
the same chance as the whites and let
them get on if they can."
"But this is not the way to look at it.
The Government must face things as
they are. We have taken it upon ourselves, the task of conducting the affairs
of Government, and it is as much a part
of those duties to look after the Hawaiian as if he was a younger brother.
"Prohibition does prohibit, to a certain extent; the police records show it
and you seldom find a Kanaka arrested
for smoking opium or having it in his
possession. It is only those who have
the habit who take the risk.
"A stricter law should be made and a
higher penalty fixed for the crime. The
fine for having opium in possession
should be §200, with the option given
to the culprit of leaving the country,
never to return. In that way from 500
to 1,000 fiends would be out of the country in a year. In this way the demand
for opium would decrease, and the supply which tempts the smuggler would
not be required. There never was an
opium fiend in jail who earned his board,
and that is only lf< cents a day.
"So much as against license. There
is such a large profit in opium that there
is no us,e trying to keep it out, and there
is too much temptation to the fortydollar policeman or the hundred-dollar
customs guard to expect them to assist
in keeping it out. They need not be
bribed to pass opium that they know is
on a vessel; they simply take a couple of
hundred dollars to look the other way."

Board. Mr. Emerson takes several
months furlough from his duties in
United Church Opposition to Opium. Honolulu.
The Anglican Church Chronicle for
March contains an earnest protest
against the proposed licensing of Opium.
Bishop Willis also on the Diocesan
Magazine indicates his reprobation of
the measure. It has been denounced
in the various Evangelical pulpits.
The passage of such a measure by the
Legislature seems extremely improbable.
The Portuguese Petition.
A prominent event of the month has
been the presenting, in an orderly and
peaceable manner, by a procession 01
nearly 700 Portuguese residents, of a
petition to the Executive and Legislature, against the farther importation ot
Asiatic labor, on the ground that it
results in the imported laborers filling
all the avenues of employment to the
great detriment of workmen of other
nationalities.
It is represented with some force that
a bad precedent has been set by a large
body of men presenting themselves at
the building where the Legislature are
assembled. Although not so in the
present case, such action in the futnre
might have a menacing aspect, and
might exercise on intimidating effect
upon the law-makers. It would seem
that such proceedings should for the
future be prohibited.
At the same time, our Portuguese
fellow citizens appear to have a genuine
grievance. It cannot but be an evil to
have our superior white classes continually depressed by the competition of
cheap Asiatic labor. Capital will of
course secure the cheapest labor possible.
Evidently something needs to be done
to prevent the Asiatic from crowding
the white man out of the country. Annexation would solve the problem.
The Honolulu Cholera Genuine.
Experts in the United States and
Europe have pronounced the specimens
of cultures forwarded to them from Honolulu to be the bacilli of genuine Asiatic
Cholera, the true comma bacillus.
Hilo Citizens in public meeting, protest against further expenditures upon
their old Boat wharf. They call for a
Ship wharf beyond Waiakea. This
seems a just demand.
An Unfaithful Ship's Surgeon.
The O. & O. S. S. Belgic arrived from
San Francisco on Saturday afternoon at
2 p. m. but did not get to her wharf until
5 o'clock. The delay was caused by the
discovery by Dr. Day of a case of leprosy
in the Chinese steerage. Dr Day refused
to allow the vessel to come in until the
necessary permit had baen granted by
the Board of Health.
This was given at a special meeting
of the Board, at which Dr. Bowie, the
ship's surgeon, was present. He was
censured by the Board for his inattention
to his duties, it being evident he had no
knowledge of the case until it was pointed out to him by the port physicians.—
Evening Bulletin.
This Dr. Bowie is the same surgeon
who last August introduced an epidemic
of Cholera into Honolulu, by concealing
the existence of that disease on board
the Belgic. It seems strange that the
Steamship company should keep such
a person in their employ.
Sugar Crop of 1895.
The figures are officially given as
follows:
"Number of acres of cane
47,.'599'
manufactured
"Number of tons (2000 lbs.). 153,419$
"Number of pounds of sugar
made per acre..6,472."
In compating the three and a quarter
tons obtained per acre with the yield
elsewhere, it should be remembered that
our cane stands eighteen months instead
of nine months as in Louisiana and beet
sugar countries.
Dean Stanley on the Historic Episcopate.
"There was a time when it used to be
the prevailing belief of English divines
that Episcopacy, in the sense of the
necessity of one presiding officer over
the Christian community, reached back
to the very first origin of the Christian
society. The belief, in the enlarged
atmosphere of more exact scholarship
and more enlightened candor, has now
been abandoned. The most learned of
all the living bishops of England, whose
accession to the great See of Durham
has been recently welcomed by the
that the early constitution of the Apos-
tolic churches of the first century was
not that of a single pastor, but of a body
of pastors indiflerently styled 'bishops'
or 'presbyters;' that it was not till the
very end of the Apostolic age that the
office which we now call the Episcopate
gradually and slowly made its way in
the churches of Asia Minor; that Pre»bytery was not a later growth out af
Episcopacy; but that Episcopacy was a
later growth out of Presbytery; that the
office which the Apostles adopted was a
rule not of bishops, but of presbyters."

Meeting of The Association of the Island
H
of awaii, at Hookena,
South Kona.
The semiannual meeting of this Association opened March 12, and closed
the 14th, giving place to the Sahhath
School Association which held its meetings for about two days. The educational stimulating and encouraging effect of
these semi-annual Association meetings
it is not easy to over estimate.
"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpened the countenance of his friend;"
said the wise man.
These Association meetings are occasions where the Hawaiian ministers
leaving behind them the cares and the
toils of their parish duties meet as friends
and brethren to sharpen one another's
wits, to exchange views, to hold counsel
with each other and with the lay delegates from the churches in regard to the
interests of the churches and fields under
their care.
Bubbling wit, bright sayings, and continuous good natured bantering charac
terizes a large part of the hnsiness proceedure of these meetings. But withal
much serious attention is paid to the
vital interests of the churches, and to the
proper fulfilment of the duties of the
several pastors and evangelists. Half
an hour of each morning session was
devoted to prayer and conference.
Eight of the pastors of the island were
present, and three were absent. Nearly
all thechurches were represented in sonic
measure either by the pastor or supply,
or by lay delegate, or by both.
Each pastor or supply of a church gave
a report of his work and of the condition
of his parish,
Mr. C. Ahi Lasaro presented a unanimous call from the church of Kekaha.
Upon examination by the Association he
was approved for ordination, and a Com
mittee was appointed to ordain and install him as pastor of the Kekaha church.
The examination, or rather exhibition
of the Sabbath schools of Kona, was an
interesting and lively affair. There was
evidence of much faithful labor and
thorough Bible instruction on the part of
many Sabbath School teachers. Especially interesting was the recitation
and singing of the infant class of the
Hookena Sabbath School, of which Mr.
and Mrs. Amalu are the teachers and
of recitation of Bible history, and sacred
story, is very pleasing ; showing the
remarkable musical talent of the modern
Hawaiian. In this manner was recited
in song the story of Samuel, of David
and Jonathan, of David and Goliath, and
the story of Bethlehem and of the Angels.
Some such form of Bible recitation in
SOnK, has of late years been much used
in Missionary work in India.
Extracts from Capt. Garland's Report
of The Thirteenth Voyage of
"The Morning Star."
Sailed from Honolulu June "-'7, 1895
for Butaritari, Gilbert Islands, Dr. Fease,
Miss Ahell and theCaptain'sfamily being
passengers.
On July 9th, one of the crew fell overboard. We lowered a boat, ;.nd put the
ship about, and had the man on board
again in five minutes time.
Touched at Butaritari July 20th, and
landed the goods for the Hawaiian
missionaries there to await the return of
the Morning Star in November.
Arriving at Kusaie July 27, we had a
difficult time landing the goods, hut
were ready for the voyage to Ruk
August Nth. Just as we were to sail the
Spanish gun-boat "Quiros" arrived from
Fonape with the Governor on board.
He sent us word not to go to Ponape,
and then went into the weather harbor
and anchored, twelve miles away. We
followed him in and anchored near. Dr.
Fease and I went on board and had an
interview with the Governor. It was
the same old story of two years past, of
which I have written before. We could
of course go to Fonape and anchor, but
he absolutely refused to let us communicate with the shore in any manner, he
having had no orders from Manila to
th t effect, neither had he heard of any
settlement of affairs from his Government.
As it seemed useless to go to Fonape.
we passed by and reached Ruk August
17; having touched at Pingelap, Mokil
and Nagatik to give Miss Foss opportunity to see the people.
At Ruk we found all well except Mr.
Snelling, who was quite sick.
Arriving at Kusaie again Aug. 2N, we
were until Sept. 5, fitting for the Marshall Islands trip, sailing that day with
Dr. and Mrs. Rife, Dr. Fease and Misses Palmer and Crosby, with the Marshall
Island Schools. Also by consent of the
missionaries I took Rev. Likiak Sa and
his wife for a trip through that group,
Sept. 9th, at Jaluit we made a pleasant
call on the German Commissioner; and
he returned the call, visiting us on board
the "Star."
On Oct. 12th, We sighted a Marshall
Island canoe with twenty people on
board, who had lost their reckoning and
leaders.
The most striking feature was the sing- had run 45 miles past their island. As
ing of many classes. The adaptation of they were short of food, our Marshall boys
some of our best church music to a form supplied them. They followed us till the
next morning when they lowered their
sail in a squall and we lost sight of them
twentj miles from land.
Pour days later when we left the island
the canoe had not arrived, having pro
bably drifted back in calms. Another
canoe was soon to start in search of them.
We were at Kusaie again from Nov.
7th, to 16th, taking in ballast and water,
and preparing for the Gilbert Island trip.
Sailed on the llith, with only a few of
the Gilbert Island Scholars, Mr. Channon not being able to go At Butaritari
Nov. J9th, Mr. VValkup came on board
and we sailed Dec. '-'nd, for a cruise
through the group. Landed the Missionaries and teachers on Nonouti Dec. 14,
to hold the General-meeting which lasted until the 10th. On that day we started to carry them all home again.
While we were at Nonouti one of the
Roman Catholic missionaries died; one
had died two months earlier.
The English Commissioner is having
houses built on Tarawa, and will make
that island his headquarters.
From Apaian I took Rev. I). Kaai and
wife, and from Butaritari Rev. J. Nua
and little daughter as passengers for
Honolulu.
Sailed from Butaritari for Kusaie Jan.

Bingham ;" we arrived the Bth, she the
I Oth.
Sailed Jan. 17th, IKU6 for Ruk; Dr.
Fease and Miss Crosby taking passage
for Honolulu.
Arriving at Ruk we found Mr. Snelling had recovered; but Mr. Frice was
quite sick. Owing to Mr. Frice's illness
the usual visit to the Mortlock Islands
was omitted. We were greatly disappointed not to see the new "Logan."
We s iled from Ruk Feb. 6th, and
arrived in Honolulu March 16th. after a
good voyage of forty days.

Rkv. O. P. Emerson;
Honolulu Hawaiian Islds;
Dear Sir:—
Your letter of June 20th, came by
the "Star." I will give you a summary
of my statistical report.
There are now thirty laborers, native
and Americans of whom twenty-two are
in the Marshalls. There are 1,977 church
members, of whom 434 were received
during the year, (99 at Ebon.) There
are 1,115 in the schools, a slight decrease, which decrease is owing to the
fall of two of our teachers, and in consequence of which there is no school at
their islands.
There is also an encouraging gain in
contributions in this time of need with
the Mission Boards. This year the amount was $987.83, as against $634.17

it is moving steadily on.

desire for all the old night games and

want the dance without the lewdness.
Neither the limitation as to the games,

EDUCATION INTO CHARACTER.
The ultimate aim of all right Education is the formation ol pure and
noble character in the | apil. Let
this always be kept in view. The
Lord Jesus Christ imparted to his
disciples the leaven of his own holy
and divine character, and this leaven
of saintliness has since been slowly
permeating mankind.
It is the
Christian's task to perfect such character in himself and to impart it to
others. "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto
good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them."
"In Christ ye also are builded together for a habitation of (rod in the
Spirit." By his Spirit. G>d dwells
in souls that receive him loyally.
They bring forth the fru'.s of the
Spirit, love, mercy, patience, meekness, purity, justice, faith. They
live in constant prayer, communion
with God. Their "life is hid with
Christ in God." Such is the complete Christian. It is such that
Christ wills his followers to be; it is
such characters that the Highest
education will seek to multiply.

Relations of Theosophy with Kahunas.
Prof. Marquez, a leader in Theosophy
in Honolulu, in a recent lecture accredited Polynesian kahunas or wizards,
as "adepts" in Theosophic mysteries,
as follows :
"Look at witchcraft, so loftily denied
by science, now confirmed and admitted
by scientific experience with mediums,
showing that the witches of old were
only mediums under another name,
sensitives who increased their powers
under magical ceremonies, such as even
the ancient Polynesian 'kahunas' knew
how to do."
Than kahunas, voodoos, and heathen
wizards in all savage countries, nothing
is more malignant and diabolical. If
spiritism, or any other practice is allied
in any way to such unholy dealings,
wise men will avoid them, whatever the
psychical facts involved.
For instance, the Polynesian kahuna
most diligently and patiently "increases
his powers under magical ceremonies"
as follows: At the death of his infant
child, or relative, he takes possession of
the corpse, and carries a part of it constantly on his person, regularly going
through the form of administering food
to it, whenever he-eats, also praying to
it. By this means he develops the spirit
of the infant into a powerful demon,
devoted to his service, and ready at his
command to occupy and kill the body of
any person he orders it to slay. There
are such kahunas now here in Honolulu,
believed by their native neighbors to
have great and deadly power, and many
natives right here fall victims every
year to their witchcraft through the
murderous power of the alleged demon,
which according to Mr. Marquez, may
doctrines ?
AVmicoensg
PrevalntHawaiians.
The Hawaiian Board page of this
issue will probably give more or less of
the report made by Rev. Messrs. Timoteo and Ezera of the work and results of
their mission to native churches on
Kauai. We borrow some of their statements from our own notes of that report.
Three very prevalent forms of destructive wickedness were especially combated by the Evangelists, with much
success. Those were sorcery, drunkenness, and impure living.
Large numbers, even of intelligent
people, were living under a heavy yoke
of superstition, in bondage to witchcraft
and fear if the kahunas. To the question whether Waimea exceeded Honolulu in the prevalence of this evil, Mr.
Timoteo declined to express an opinion.
A local Judge arose in public and said,
"I will no more touch liquor nor awa.
Awa is evil and filthy. I too have been
misled by the heathen prophets. I have
been living in therealm of darkness and
misery. I renounce all those works of
the evil one, and stand on the side of
the Lord."
(One does not rind added luster to the
eminent fame of Robert Louis Stevenson, in the fact that he lent countenance
to the practice of Kava or awa drinking
in Samoa. Stevenson however, viewed
the practices of uncivilized life from an
attitude of genial sympathy, rather than
from the moral stand point of the missionary.)
The Evangelists reported a great
prevalence of promiscuous living, and a
large proportion of illegitimate children.
Some were induced to terminate their
unlawful union by marriage, others by
separation. Domestic life was extensively impure. This however is an
ancient condition, and a leading cause
of continued depopulation.
Intemperance was common. Much
liquor was procured from Honolulu,
and domestic manufacture of various
intoxicants was common. Many talks
against intemperance were given with
marked effect. Against all the forms of
evil named, constant warfare was made
in house to house visitation.
The report of the evangelist was most
instructive, and full of revelation of the
moral and social condition of the masses
of the Hawaiian people, who with all

It may properly be* mentioned that
Rev. E. S. Timoteo, who is a man of
unusual sweetness and devoutness, as
well as wisdom, has been a steadfast
supporter of the ex-queen, unlike a
majority of his native colleagues in the
ministry, a fact which might tend to
bias him to minimize the evils reported.
He has no doubt reported the facts
faithfully.
AVisit to Kauai in 1845.
An old journal of about 1845 lately
came into our hands, from which the
following abridged selections are here
given, describing things as they were
on Kauai fifty years ago.
Nov. 4. —As I was needing a relaxation, Mr. Ladd proposed my making a
trip to Kauai, combining business with
pleasure. At 4 p.m. I stepped aboard
the little craft belonging to Ladd & Co.,
with three other foreigners on board.
As we left the town blending in the
distance with the mountains behind, we
enjoyed cooking our cup of chocolate
and eating our supper, expecting to be
in Koloa next morning. Had a comfortable night on deck, as Ladd & Co.
allow few natives to go on their vessels.
It was calm and in the morning we had
advanced but a third of the way. It was
not until after three nights on board that
caught a light breeze and anchored late
in the afternoon at Koloa. Messrs. Burn
ham and Goodalt; were on the beach,
and I was soon at home at Mr. (is.
7th.—This house is prettily located on
a hill commanding a fine prospect. On
the right lies a pretty valley, highly
cultivated, in which "Oil village" is
situated. Mr. Goodale's oil works and
houses for the natives making quits a
cluster. On the left is old "Old Hoary
Head," a lofty peak standing as sentinel
to Koloa and environs. Mr. and Mrs.
Goodale seemed as happy as one could
expect, lacking society. Newton Ladd
was visiting here when I arrived. We
visited the mill houses and then kept on
down to the store. Saturday is holiday
at Koloa. The natives on the plantations
are not required to work, it being the
weekly trading day. You will see one
with his piggies coming squalling along,
another with his poultry, one with mats,
another with tapa, and soon, anything
that the haole wants or that will bring
the cash. The "store" is also opened
to-day, and the natives flock in early to
see the new goods that may have arrived
during the week, which soon find eager
purchasers, and in a few hours are on
their persons. Home to tea, and spent
a pleasant evening.
Bth.—A most still and quiet Sabbath.
In the p.m. we walked down Church,

Soon reaching Waimes River, a broad
shallow stream, we left our horses in a
grove of cocoanuts, ourselves crossing in
a very small canoe, as Mr. W's house
was on the opposite side. Mr. W. and
myself made the last trip of the canoe.
We found it very tiltish. He was nearly
double my weight, and had we been
better acquainted, with dry clothes at
hand, he would have upset me, for he
saw "I looked as if I wanted a ducking."
After joking about it, a short walk
through the town which had a very unprepossessing appearance, brought us to
the house of Mr. Whitney. It stands
near his church, and in the pleasantest
part of the town, which is not saying
much, as it is said to be a very dry,
dirty, dull, dreary sort of a place. Mrs.
W. however has a fine dairy and makes
beautiful butter—but I could see no feed.
Mrs. Whitney provided a very good
dinner, and there was a marked diminution of the viands by the time we were
through. After a few hours with our
kind host, we hurried away to be back
at Koloa in good season. We made
good speed homeward, and had a good
bathe in a cool creek just as the sun was
sinking in the west. We were not sorry
to rest, after being most of the day in
the saddle.
Dedication of Pauahi Hall.
This magnificent new school building
of Oahu College at Punahou, was formally dedicated with appropriate exercises,
and handed over to the faculty of the
College on the evening of Thursday,
May 21st. A very large and select
audience filled the commodious assembly
room in the second story of the building.
Previous to the hour, many of them
had enjoyed an inspection of the numerous class rooms and library. The building was splendidly lit up by its numerous
electric lights in every room, and presented an imposing appearance as it was
approached. The grounds were also
brightly lit up with incandescent lights.
The exercises were opened by a prelude upon the fine organ presented by
Mrs. S. N. Castle as a memorial of her
late husband. An invocation followed
by Rev. C. M. Hyde. After a pleasant
selection by the College Glee Club, a
financial statement of the cost of the
building was made by the Treasurer of
the College, Mr. P. C. Jones. The
leading items of cost were for stonework
$39,659.76; carpenter's work $25,036.-60; roofing, plumbing, etc. $6,518.56.
The total cost of building, fixtures and
furniture was $78,684.05. The stone is
a fine-grained, compact gray lava quar
ried on a neighboring tract. It is handsomely cut and laid, and makes the
most finished and elegant building yet
erected in Honolulu.
With an interlude by the College
orchestra, Mr. Jones was succeeded by
43
THE FRIEND
the chief speaker of the evening, President S. B. Dole, in an address of half
an hour. Mr. Dole reviewed the history
of the institution from its earliest preliminary opening in 1841, and its more
formal start on July llth, 1842, as a
boarding school for the children of the
missionaries, under the Rev. Daniel
Dole, the father of the President. The
original structure was of adobe with
thatched roof in the form of a letter E,
plastered and whitened with coral lime.
Better buildings were successively added,
including the stone school building,
erected by Mr. Rice in 1863. After a
few years, the doors of the institution
were opened to others than the children
of the missionaries, and after a time, a
College charter was taken out, in the
expectation that a full college curriculum
would be given. This hope was frustated by the tenbency of students to
seek the larger college life abroad, and
the institution has continued to be an
Academy of high grade.
Mr. Dole spoke of Mr. Charles R.
Bishop's early participation in the boy's
games in the for ies, and of his later
services as a wise and faithful trustee;
also of his more recent large assumption
of its financial burdens, especially the
erection of the Bishop Hall of Science,
and now of this Pauahi Hall.
The President commented on"the
lesson of wealth consecrated to the
cause ot humanity, perhaps the only
respectable excuse for the amassment of
riches." Noting the present advance of
Punahou in development of taste and
esthetic sentiment, he hoped for continued growth of sturdy manly and
womanly character. It has been from
the beginning a place where education
meant character-making.
In closing, the speaker expressed his
assurance that the College would keep
abreast of the progress of science, and
would hesitate to ask no question of the
watchers for the coming light, seeking
for (rod's latest message of truth, and
not being afraid of the answer.
After another selection by the glee
club, Hon. W. R. Castle delivered the
keys of the buildingto President Hosmer,
with an address in which hr reviewed
the history of the building. Its erection
was first suggested by Mr. Hosmer to
the trustees in March, 1893. In August
the erection was decided on. Plans
were adopted and excavation begun
during 1894. Mr. Ripley was supervising architect, It is now complete
and furnished and ready for immediate
occupation. Mr. Castle explained that
$50,000 was donated by Hon. C. R.
Bishop, directly for this building, and
the'remaining $38,6X4 was derived from
income of other funds fiven by Mr.
Bishop for the uses of the college.
In accepting the trust, President Hosmer replied to Mr. Castle at length,
especially recalling the names of leading
benefactors of the institution. The first
was the Rev. Hiram Bingham who in
1840 so generously donated the broad
lands owned by the school. Next was
Mr. Dole who brought with him stores
of learning. Tribute was paid to Dr.
G. P. Judd who gave valuable labor and
counsel, and to S. N. Castle, for forty
years the treasurer of the college; also
to Rev. Dr. Lowell Smith, one of the
generous and devoted founders of the
school, and Rev. Dr. S. C. Damon, who
gave it so much of his fatherly care.
Rev. Dr. Beckwith was also remembered, "the beloved teacher of some of
you, the beloved pastor of more of you,
and the faithful friend of you all."
E2special tribute was paid to the benevolent munificence of Charles R. Bishop
and his noble wife. Rejoicing was expressed in the greatly increased facilities
for education, not only at Punahou, but
also in the Kamehameha Schools, the
magnificent new High School, and
other institutions.
The audience then joined heartily in
singing "God bless our native land."
A postlude was played on the organ by
Wray Taylor.
The building is both substantial and
artistic. The architect was C. B. Ripley.
The main entrance is from the campus
on the east side, with one on the north
side for the special use of the pupils.
The Assembly Hall is 58x47 feet, and
will be used as a schoolroom as well as
an art hall. The extreme dimensions of
the edifice are 104x70 feet, with two
stories and massive basement rooms.
Solid piers are carried up into a tower
which is fitted with a dome and instruments for astronomical work.
A room in the basement will be fitted
tor manual training, and another with
gymnastic equipments. It is proposed,
however, to erect a separate gymnasium.
Punahou thus enters on a fresh stage
of progress.
Death of Miss Kate Field.
Our Honolulu community, and especially the American portion, were visited
on the P. m. of the 19th by a sudden
shock of sorrow, caused by the unexpected decease of the gifted lady journalist who has been for several months
visiting these Islands, and reporting
concerning us to the Chicago Times
Herald. Miss Field passed away in
little more than one hour after landing
from the steamer W. G. Hall, whence
she had been borne to the home of Dr.
McGrew, upon a stretcher by sailors
from U. S. S. Adams.
Miss Field had for several weeks been
exploring the out-districts of the island
of Hawaii, and had undergone severer
labor in traversing difficult roads, than
proved to have befitted her age of 55
years, and somewhat worn-down physique. Pneumonia developed itself on
reaching Kailua from Kohala, on the
13th. From there she went to Mr.
Greenwell's at Kaawaloa. On tha 18th

she was attended by Dr. Adriahce, a
passenger on the W. G. Hall, from the
Coronet party, who conducted her on
board. After reaching the ship, she
rapidly became worse, and soon entirely
prostrated. A dangerous condition appearing, the speed of the ship was
hastened, reaching the city several
hours in advance of regular time.
The funeral was conducted on the
20th at Central Union Church. Beautiful and abundant floral decorations were
contributed by a large number of prominent ladies. The Press furnished a
large floral testimonial in red, white
and blue in remembrance of Miss Field's
patriotic Americanism. The casket was
placed in the vault of J. H. Paty, Esq.,
awaiting directions from Chicago. A
telegram was sent per S. S. Doric to be
dispatched from Yokohama.
Miss Field is said to have been without living relatives. Of warm, loving
and admiring friends, she had multitudes. She had made many such in
Hawaii, who sadly mourn for her.
items to be provided for, have swelled
the amount considerably above the original $750,000 proposed. There is every
prospect of a very active prosecution
during the next two years of important
public works of many kinds. Among
them will be a wagon road over Nuuanu
Pali, a wharf at Hilo, extensive roads in
Hilo, Puna, and Kona, and new wharves
in Honolulu. Most of these improvements will be highly remunerative to
the public Treasury, through increase of
taxable values.
The Loan will be placed on the Honolulu market at five per cent interest.
With the present abundance of sugar
dividends investors will eagerly take up
the bonds.

This is a bountiful year, and we are
rejoiced to learn that the Board closes
its financial year out of debt. But it is
always in need of fresh funds, and calls
for new work are increasing.
Cheap Wine Proposed.
That pouion of our community who
advocate Temperance principles, and are
seeking greater restrictions upon the
traffic in intoxicants, have been greatlysurprised and grieved at the introduction
into the Senate by one of the Executive,
of a bill to admit free of duty all California wines of less than 18 per cent,
alcoholic strength. Such wines being
usually fortified up to the full strength
permitted by the tariff, this becomes a
proposition to deluge the country with a
cheap and strong intoxicant, and thus
to turn out drunkards faster than ever
from the lanks of our young men. A
serious offense was added to the hard
working and earnest temperance corps,
in telling them that this was a measure
in the int'_-est of Temperance, by substituting wholesome wines at low prices
for the fii ry liquors now sold. There
may be persons so misled as to believe
that abundant wine is an antidote for
the evils of drunkenness. Intelligent
Temperance advocates well know that
wine, especially when fortified to 18 per
cent., is as sure a creator of drunkards
as gin or whiskey. Let the gentlemen
who advocate it, teach its use to their
sons, and see where the boys will come
out. Most of them will end in drunkard's graves. And then are we not
killing off the natives fast enough with
the present liquor supply, without adding
a cheap strong wine to drive the race
more rapidly to its end ? Eiven with the
present duty, wineretails at one dollar a
gallon, and is doing deadly work.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian
Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the
Board, is responsible for its contents.

Editor.
The "Morning Star."
The Morning Star has heen upon the
ways and hercopper, which was thought
to need repairs, is found good for another year at least. She is to take in
perhaps 200 tons of coal to render available her steam power. This power,
though not very great, is a most vital
equipment for safety in entering the
many lagoons and narrow harbois rrf
Micronesia.
Capt. Garland, who returned on the
18th from his flying visit to the Eastern
States, expects to have his far-famed
craft ready for sea by the loth of June.
Mrs. Logan is expected to arrive from
the East on the 13th of June, and will,
after a rest of but two or three days, go
on her way by the Morning Star to her
old home in Ruk, where she will be
most warmly welcomed by the missionaries and by the people for whom she
and her lamented husband have done
go much in former years.
It is to be regretted that as yet no
suitable candidate has been found to re
enforce the Hawaiian-Gilbert Island
Mission.

and
These two well known preachers of
Oahu were appointed by the Hawaiian
Board for the special woi k of visiting
and arousing to active Christian life the
churches in Kauai, and were supported
while on this service by the personal
contributions of two Christian gentlemen. Having completed three months
of this service among the Hawaiian
churches of Lihue, Koloa and Waimea
they now make a most interesting report of their work as follows:
Ist—Visiting from house to house.
'2nd—Revival meetings.
3rd—Relief of the needy pastors.
4th—Relief of the needy churches.
sth—The reconciling of friends who
have been at variance with one another.
6th—Measures for awakening the
churches.
7th—The removal of some of the obstacles to the progress of the good
cause.
Bth—The establishment of family
worship.
We and the young men who accompanied us have labored most earnestly
47
For the suppression of intemperance
at house to house visiting, seeking to
enter every house, exhorting the inmates and drunkenness we have pursued two
to awake from their life of sin under the lines:
yoke of the devil. In this work of visitation we have always sought to establish family worship, with the reading
and committing to memory of scripture.
In this work of revival and reformation
we have had no regard for the social
condition or relations of those whom we
have sought to help, but only considered
the spiritual destitution and need of
help of those souls we would save.
With the form of religion or belief of
the needy ones we did not concern our
selves.
One great difficulty with our fellow
pastors is a feeling of alienation on the
part of those who should be their friends.
Much of our time was spent in visiting
the homes of those who were at variance with the pastor, and at variance
among themselves, seeking to make
peace and to soften the hard and unloving hearts. This was the hardest
and most trying of all the work that we
did —the effort to restore peace and love
between friends and acquaintances—
and one which we count as of the greatest importance to the advancement of
the Hawaiian churches.
Among the difficulties we met were
the unpaid debts of churches to their
treasurers for the salaries of their pastors and evangelists, and also for their
contributions due to the Hawaiian
Board. We sought to cancel these
debts by direct exhortation on giving,
and by musical concerts led by our
young men, all the .proceeds of which
were devoted to aiding the needy
churches.
The efforts to arouse by means of
singing concerts, half of the time being
devoted to reconciliation and friendly
intercourse, and also the work of our
stout hearted young people in Sabbath
schools, were successful.
The greatest difficulties of the
churches in which your committee has
labored arise from the misconceptions
of the people in regard to heathen worship and sorcery.
In dealing with this heathen worship
your committee went boldly into the
homes of some who were bound with
this chain of the Devil—some who were
greatly feared by their neighbors as
ieaders in these heathen incantations.
Going into their own homes and the
homes of their dupes we expounded the
folly and uselessness of such worship,
and we preached to them of Jesus and
his wondrous love, the way of life by
the cross through faith in Jesus the
Saviour.
For the suppression of promiscuous
illicit living the Committtee went into
the homes of those who were thus living, conversing with loving heart, showing to the erring ones the condition of
degredation and pollution in which they
dwelt, and showing to them that such
life is contrary to the laws of God.
Ist. Y\'e have preached publicly upon
the evils of the use of intoxicating
drinks, '.'nd. We have met personally
with those given to the vice; have gone
to their homes, prayed with them before
God, and have plead with them to give
up strong drink.
But fruits—results, are what we want
to see.
Ist. All opened to us their homes
for us to enter, and they opened to us
their hearts.
2nd. In our meetings of religious
assembly for prayer and reformation,
many friends stood forth and confessed
their sins. And so also in their homes.
Some of these will become pillars of
righteousness. Let us pray to establish
them in every good purpose.
3rd. The financial straits of pastors
and evangelists have been relieved, and
somu churches have forwarded their
contributions to the Hawaiian Board.
4th. The alienations between brethren were healed; quarrels of years
standing have been ended, and loving
intercourse has by the grace of God
followed.
r
>th. The revival efforts have been
•
successful as shown by the concerts for
singing and Christian intercourse. In
attendance at these meetings are some
who for many years had been living in
promiscuous sin, but who now attend
the services of God's house. Some of
these testify that the attendance upon
the house of God is the road to purity
of body and soul, and that removal from
the house of God is the road of the
devil, leading to unspeakable filth and
pollution of body and soul.
6th. One who is I government officer
and who has been a devotee of awa and
strong drinks, has come boldly out, acknowledging his sin and declaring that
he is no longer to be a follower of strong
drink :md a dupe of the heathen priest,
but that henceforward he is on the Lord's
side.
We must abbreviate the remainder of
the Committee's report.
Another says before a large congregation: "Companions of the days that
are past, my door is shut against any of
you who may bring the rum bottle to
my house; but the door is wide open to
all who come with any good purpose.
My home shall no longer be the abode
of drunkenness. Fray for me and my
household."
Still another who has been a heathen
sorcerer says:"I have lived in darkness in the days that aie past; now I
see the light; Jesus is the Light."
Two couples who had been living together have now been married; and two
others not lawfully united have separated.
Two households have established
family worship and are examples in this
respect for others to follow.

of Woman's Board.
The Woman's Board of Missions met
in the Central Union Church, June 2d,
to observe their 25th anniversary. Mrs.
Dillingham who has been Treasurer for
the entire period, stated that during that
time $20,926.10 had been raised, and
$20,758.89 disbursed.
Mrs. S. E. Bishop, Recording Secretary, reported five life members and
sixty-two annual as enrolled at the first
meeting. There are now on the list 267
life members. The work til the Society
is for Hawaiians, Chinese, Japanese and
Portuguese. The free kindergartens
inaugurated by this board, have passed
under a separate organization. After
18 years of service, Mrs. Bishop retires
from duty as Secretary, at the age of
seventy, with many commendatory
acknowledgments of.good service. Mrs.
(i. P. Andrews assumes that post of
labor.
After a social hour at lunch with many
guests, work was resumed in the afternoon. A paper of reminiscences by
Miss Chamberlain, was read. It was
told how at a large missionary meeting
at Fort Street Church. Mrs. Snow of
Kusale was graciously permitted, as a
great concession, to talk from the pulpit
steps! Surely woman has gone up
since then.

Church was held an enthusiastic meeting
of delegates from the various branches
of the Y. P. S. C. E. in these islands.
Mr. Lyle Dickey presided. The report

Sunday School Reunion.
The Oahu Sunday Schools held
annual reunion June 6th at Kawaiahao
Church. The church was crowded.
Many hymns were sung by different
schools, and stirring speeches made by
Messrs. Waterhouse, Rickards, Desha,
Kapu, and Timoteo, after which a grand

the Moslem looked on in COntetnptUC l
indifference, but when the Turkish gi
ernment began to realize the effect !
their work in elevating the Christian
races ol th.U empire, its policy WIS
changed from one of neutrality to actual
persecution. At first it resorted to evt y
possible pretext to evade its engag
ments, to close up schools, to stop prii
ing presses and to imprison native
; but now it is proceeding to
exterminate a whole nation, before the
eyes ol Christian Europe, and, as it
seems, with the consent and backing of
Russia.
The legal position of the missionary
in China is similar to that of his brethren
in Turkey, but there the central government has not been actively hostile.
In
fact the Chinese government is tar more
tolerant than that of certain South
American republics or than that ol
Russia, which absolutely forbids any
subject to change his religion, unless he
becomes a member of the State Church.
So Ear we have considered the missionary's relations to such governments
as are more or less unfriendly to his
work. But, on the other hand, when
the ruling powers are friendly, the missionary is confronted by snares and
preachers
.
temptations of a different charactt
Ever smce the time of Constantino,
the alliance of Church and State lias
been deadly to spiritual religion.
It is not necessary, nor have we time to
dwell on the failings in this respect ot
Roman Catholic missions in America,
m Congo, in Ceylon and in China and
| ipan. The results should serve as a
warning to Protestant missions. The
Protestant government of Holland once
tried the experiment in Ceylon, requiring
assent to us church creed as a condition
of appointment to office: It has left the
opprobrious epithet ol "Government
Christian" M a warning against all
similar attempts to combine the service
of God and Mammon.
At the present tune, certain European
powers are eager to offer such alliance
to missions. France, especially, has
long sought to advance her schemes of
territorial aggrandizement by claiming
to be the great protector of Christian missions. In China, for political
reasons, nhe hat claimed to be the patron
of all Roman Catholic missions of whatever nationality. During the reign of
Louis Philippe this line of policy was
actively pursued in the Pacific ocean,
and its effects were felt not only in these
islands, but also in Tahiti, the Marquesas and Tonquin. Not long ago the
cross of the Legion of Honor was conferred upon M. Catalis, a veteran French
Protestant missionary, for "extending
the influence of France in Basutoland,"
in South Africa.
Germany too is suffering from the
colonial fever, or "Earth-hunger," and
favors German missions, because it is
believed that even if its missionaries do
not succeed in Christianizing the heathen, they may be used to Germanize
them to some extent.
For the same reason each of these
powers seeks to excludt from its colonies all missionaries of other nationalities. Thus Germany in 1886 expelled
the English Baptist missionaries from
the Cameroons in west Africa and filled
their place with German missionaries
from Basle. In the same region, France
always
has interfered with the American Presbyterian Mission on the Gaboon river, by
ordering that the French language be
used in all the schools to the exclusion
not only of English but even of the
native language.
One of the most flagrant examples of
this baneful policy oocurred in 1887 in
one of the Loyalty Islands near New
Caledonia. In that group of Islands
the London Missionary Society had
labored so successfully that "the whole
of the people, formerly savage cannibals,
had embraced Christianity. There were
self-supporting churches with 3000 members. There was but one foreign missionary there with 40 native pastors."
Then, as Rev. John Jones wrote: "I,
the only English missionary on the
island, while revising the Mare Scriptures, was expelled by the French Government, at half an hours' notice, from
the island where I had labored for more
than 34 years. Since then the Government has introduced French missionaries, and treats as rebels those
native Christians who refuse to attend
the State Church. It is much to be
feared that a similar policy will ultimately
be followed in Madagascar, and that
the English missionaries, who have
done such a giand work for Christ on
that island, will in time be forced to
leave the field. In justice, however, to
the French government, it should be
added that the conduct of General
Duchesne and of the Minister-Resident,
M. Laroche, who is a Protestant Christian, has been all that could have been
desired. The English missionaries there
seem to have shown great prudence and
tact in the difficult position in which
they have been placed.
During the late civil war in Uganda,
the missionaries of the Church Missionary Society wisely stood aloof, and
refused to give their aid to King Mwanga
against his rivals. Lord Salisbury in
1888 gave notice that he would not
interfere in behalf of missionaries in
Africa outside of the sphere of British
influence.
Another class of perplexing questions
arises where the missionary is appealed
to by native converts to assist them in
maintaining their legal rights in the
courts. The expectation of such aid and
protection is most damaging to the sincerity of new converts. It is also most
injurious to the missionary himself, by
filling up his time and thoughts with
secular matters, lawsuits, appeals, and
the like.
This temptation is particularly strong
in India, where English law has modified many customs in favor of humanity
and religious freedom. When Christians
in that country are persecuted by their
heathen neighbors, who try to deprive
them of their legal rights, such as the
right to take water from the public wells,
and to rob them of their lands, it is quite
natural that they should apply to the
missionary for advice and help.
�THE FRIEND.

Bat many of the wisest and best of
our missionaries are of opinion that the
safest courae is to observe a strict
neutrality in all political and civil matters. The missionary is the ambassador
of the King of Kings. He is the herald
of the Prince of Peace.
He betrays and lowers his high calling
if he allows himself to be entangled with
wordly schemes. Our Lord, when He
was tempted by the devil in the wilderness, set an example for his followers in
all ages, whenever they may be tempted
to endeavor to hasten the triumph of
His kingdom by the use of unworthy
and worldly means. As the old prophet
said: "Not by might, not by power, but
by My spirit, saith the Lord." As our
Saviour said: "The kingdom of God
cometh not with observation."
Its
progress is not to be measured by outward and visible results. Like his
Master, the missionary does not attack
the "powers that be," however corrupt
and tyrannical they may be. But he
preaches righteousness, temperance and
justice. He tells men of the common
Fatherhood of God and the common
Brotherhood of man, and of a judgment
at which all wrongs will be righted.
The leaven of truth cannot fail to work.
The Gospel of Love is mightier than
fleets and armies. Under its beneficent
influence slavery and judicial torture
have disappeared from Europe and
Serfdom from Hawaii nei; arbitration is
beginning to take the place of war, and
in God's good time earthly governments
will cease to be engines of greed and
oppression, and will begin to reflect in
some faint degree the justice and benevo
lence of the Divine Government.
Palama Chapel Dedicated.
Formal dedicatory services were held
on Monday evening June Ist, in the new
and commodious chapel at the foot of
Liliha Street. Mr. P. C. Jones the
donor, delivered the keys to the Pastor
of Central Union Church, after which
Pastor Birnie read the dedicatory sentences, and a dedicatory prayer was
offered. Mr. Birnie then sketched the
work which it was hoped to carry on in
connection with the chapel.
Among
things planned, were social gatherings,
mothers' meetings and boys' clubs.
Since the dedication, Sunday evening
preaching services have been held, as
well as a morning Sunday School under
the superintendence of Mr. Corbett.
Also Friday evening prayer meetings.
All these services have been well attended. The outlook for faithful work seems
promising.

Mail wharf, cannot he paralleled in any
port of the world. The one or two
thousand well dressed people on 'ie
wharf, the departing passengers at the
bulwarks, laden by then friends with
wreaths upon their hats and around
their necks, the grand band upon the
wharf with its heavy drum thundering
forth its noisy good bye, or in sweeter
strains of "AuUl Lang Syne" calling to
mind the days of long compasionship,
all presents a picture that once seen,
can nevei he forgotten. All life in
Hawaii is a picnic, and the crowning
picnic though not always the happiest,
is the day of sailing away.
The exercises held on the deck of the
Morning Star on the eve of her departure, though not so noisy, were no less
interesting than the parting celebration
of larger ships. The friends of the
missionary work in Micronesia, of which
the Morning Star is the tangible representative, were out in numbers, to bid
Mrs. Logan godspeed on her return to
Ruk. to the scenes of the pioneer labors
of herself and her lamented husband,
and to wish Capt. Garland and his ship's
company a speedy, safe, and happy
voyage.
And what was the bark laden with ?
In the first place she had 200 tons of
coal, to furnish the steam power to be
used chiefly during calms and in entering and leaving the many harbors of the
lagoon-island seas of Micionesia. For
cargo she may be said to have almost
everything useful to civilized man, from
whetstones and jack knives, to bibles
and hymn hooks in several languages;
lumber, water casks, tanks, tools,
bread stuffs, kitchen and other furniture,
and largely groceries and family supplies. In one respect her cargo is
totally different from that of most trading
vessels that visit the islands of the
Pacific. She carries no strong drinks
and no tobacco.
There is still another feature in which
the Morning Star differs wholly from
any other vessel that sails the Pacific
seas. She is not permitted to touch at
any port of Ponape or to have any communication with the inhabitants of that
The people ot Ponape owe more

of their present degree of civilization
and happiness to this Morning Star, and
to those whom she bore to their shores,
than to any other caise in the world.
Hut ihe is to day the only vessel in the
world thus barred out of Ponape by the
newly come Spanish rulers of that island.
Mrs. Logan makes one more return to
Ruk, the held of her early service. She
will earn- inspiration and cheer lo the
toilers among those still benighted
islanders.
Isesides this earnest missionary, three
voting men sent out b\ tin I'eniel Mis
sionary Society ol Los Angeles, Mr.
Robert Anderson, Mr. L Skumfelt and
Mr. Scribner, go for service in the Gilbert Islands. Mr Anderson went to
the group a year ago, with Key. Capt,
Walkup in the schooner Hiram Bingham. Returning in the Morning Star"
this Spring, be now goes out D tain with
two earnest and very interesting young
men to help him in the good woi k ol
teaching the Gilbert Islanders the way
of life and salvation through the crucified
one.
Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association.
The Association representative of the
native Hawaiian Churches, and in a
measure of all the Congregational
Churches in the land, met this year in
Kawaiahao Church, its sessions commencing Tuesday, June 2nd, and closing
Tuesday, June 'Jth.
It was a more full meeting than some,
of the later years, there being present
.')(! pastors and eighteen delegates from
the 55 native Evangelical churches.
Early in the session greetings from the
several foreign churches were received,
as follows: From Rev. C. VV. Hill of
the Hilo Foreign Church; from Rev.
Mr. Birnie and Hon. A. P. Judd representing Central Union Church of Honolulu; from Key. K. K. Baptist of the
Portuguese Protestant Church of Hilo;
from Rev. A. Y. Soares of the Portuguese Church of Honolulu; from Rev.
J. Oyabe representing the Japanese
mission workers of the Hawaiian Board;
and from Mr. F. W. Damon and Mr.
Lung representing the Chinese work.
The report of Mr. W. W. Hall, Treasurer of the Board of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association showed the
receipts of the year to have been
$27,172.52, whilethe expenditures have
been $26,379.99, leaving a balance in
th eTreasury of $792.53.
A tic ii of $1,000 has been paid off
during the year, leavingthe finances in a
very good condition for the advance ot
another year.
The Acting-Corresponding Seoretary,
Mr. (). H. Gulick, made the usual report
of the general conditions of the work
under the auspices of the Hawaiian
Board.
Key. O. P. Emerson now absent, was
re elected Col responding Secretary, and
Mr. VV. VV. Hall Treasurer of the Board.
The annual examination of the students of the North Pacific Missionary
Institute was conducted before the Association, under the lead of Dr. Hyde and
Key. J. Leadingham. The
pastors take
a lively interest in this school from
which the most of their own number
have themselves graduated in past years.
Among these graduates has been one
Gilbert Islander who while the successful and beloved pastor of the Kekaha
Church, Kona, Hawaii, died two years
since; another is the Key. Joseph Aiu a
full blooded Chinaman, brought up upon
these islands, and whose language is
the native Hawaiian, rather than Chinese. One of the most interesting of the
present class of students is a Chinaman
who under the inspiration of Mr Damon,
and the instruction of the teachers, is
fitting himself for the ministry of the
word to his countrymen on these islands.
Among the matters of interest discussed was the drink question, in regard
to which it was voted that the evils of
the use ofawa, and of spirituous liquors,
be the subject of sermons on the first
Sundays in March and September.
Another subject was the support of
weak churches, for which it is hoped
that an Emergency fund may be raised.
The questions of the marriage of
lepers, of the lapsed charters ofchurches,
and of the doings of the kahunas or
heathen sorcerers, and of Sabbath observance occupied much attention.
Key. M. Lutera, a returned missionary
from the Gilbert Islands, who during the
past year has misled some, and made
trouble in some churches by professed
power of prophesy, was disposed from
the Gospel ministry by the unanimous
action of the body.
Honolulu Kindergartens.
Another successful year of work in
the Free Kindergartens has closed. The
average of attendance has been higher
the l?st of the year than it was the first,
c has been a marked improveanH
'he deportment of the pupils.
-11
Five
ing women from Kawaiahao
Seminary assist in the different kindergartens, and we rejoice in this new
sphere of labor opening before the Hawaiian maidens.
A training teacher from Chicago has
been secured for next year, and we hope
many will be found to avail themselves
of the opportunity of fitting for kindergarten teachers.

THE FRIEND.
Miss Ozawa after a few years of faithful work has resigned from the Japanese
Kindergarten, and a Japanese lady hasbeen sent for, .to take her place. The
Hawaiian Kindergarten also loses its
excellent teacher. Some one will be
found to take her place before the schools
open in the Fall, and we hope that next
September, full schools of bright children will greet enthusiastic teachers for
another year of work.
Testimony of Minister Wiilis.
Since IL S. Minister A. S. Willis
came to Honolulu originally to overturn
the Republic and restore the Quean, his
present favorable opinion of the Republic of Hawaii is of much interest, and
should go far with the American people.
For a representative of the Evening
Star of Washington City he said
•T could not desire more cordiality
and manifestation of friendly feeling
than 1 have received from both the
citizens and the Government of Hawaii.
Everything is peaceful, beautiful, tie.
lightful on the Islands. The Legislature was about closing up its work when
I left, and they accomplished several
The immigration
important things.
question and a number of other question!
are of great importance, but the Government has manifested wisdom and capacity in dealing with the questions as
they arise. The Islands are enjoying a
period of phenomenal prosperity and
the people seem contented. There is
no talk and apparently no thought of
revolution or disorder. When people
have money in their pockets and plenty
to eat they are not apt to be discontented and to grumble. The immense
crops and the high price of sugar have
made money abundant."
"Is there any talk of the restoration
of (jueen Liliuokalani ?"
"None whatever. There is no talk
and apparently no thought of the restoration of the Cjueen. To show how
far this is from the public mind, the
Government lias granted a pension of
$2,000 a year to Kaiulani, the heiress of
Liliuokalani. Undoubtedly a suitable
pension would have been provided for
Liliuokalani but for the revolution, in
which it appeared that she was very
much involved. No, there does not appear to be any dissatisfaction with the
present Government, or thought of its
:
overthrow.
"Is there anything in the talk indulged
in some time ago about danger to the
Government?"
"I think not. The Japanese partici-
pate in the general prosperity of the
country, and are therefore contented, as
are the people. As long as this prosperity continues there is not apt to be
any complaint of the Government, and
it is likely to last long enough for the
Government to be so well established
as to maintain itself in the presence of
any hard times or disasters that may
come along in the course of events.
Republican Planks of Interest to Hawaii.
Two declarations in the Republican
platform adopted at St. Louis, are of
especial interest to Hawaii. One is that
•'The Nicaragua Canal should be built,
owned and operated by the United
States." So strong a Nicaragua policy
forecasts an early completion of that
long delayed enterprise, which must
very greatly affect the Commercial
activity of the Pacific and of Hawaii.
The other declaration is that "I In:
Hawaiian Islands should be controlled
by the United States, and no foreign
power should be permitted to interfere
with them."
Opponents of annexation point to this
expression as showing that the Republican Party propose to go no I,other
than to give Hawaii some sort of a Protectorate, without admitting us lo the
privileges of a member of the Union.
On the other hand, the advocates of
Annexation believe that the terms used
merely indicate a judicious reserve, and
that an intention to annex Hawaii can
be read between the lines.
In the meantime, by its orderly,
capable and prosperous administration
of its affairs, Hawaii is nobly proving
its fitness to become a member of the
American Union.
Tidal Wave in Kona, Hawaii.
A series of Tidal Waves of considerable destructive force visited the whole
west coast of the island of Hawaii on
the morning of Ibth, doing much damage to property at the various landings.
The action of the waves began at Ka
waihae at 8:10 a. m. demolishing the
wharf. It proceeded down the coast.
striking Kailua at X.M) a. m., where the
third and highest wave at 9 a. m. flooded
the lower floor of Miss Pans hotel, and
carried all lumber piles into the bay.
After damaging various wharves and
landings on that coast, especially at
Keauhou, Kealakekua bay, and Hookena,
the tidal wave rounded the south point,
striking the Kau landings at 9:40 \. m.,
Hilo was
but doing slight damage.
reaahed at ltf a. m., the water rising
only eight feet. In bays on the Kona
coast the sea hnd reached points twenty
and thirty feet above sea level. The
tides continued to come in all day at
half hour intervals of ebb and flow.
Our Honolulu tide-gauge records
fourteer. small tidal waves of about one
foot in height, lasting from 7 a. m. to 2
p. m.
At the narrow head of the harbor
there was an alarming succession of
deep ebbs and flows, laying bare the
mud flats and stranding fish.
The present European population of
New Zealand is 703,000, an incrense of
12 per cent, in five years. The largest
rate of increase is in the district of
Wellingtonf over 24 per cent. Both in
its climate, and in the quality of its
population, New Zealand is the gem of
the Southern Hemisphere.

the 11.line people must readily adopted

from the Christian Religion. This fact
makes it especially unwise for those to

Now in keeping with this tendency, we have the issuing of a Sunday
morning edition by a leading daily paper.
When this paper was left at their doors,
our Christian people experienced a sense
of insult keener than any felt since four
years ago the Lottery Bill was thrust in
their faces. At that they "kicked" to
some purpose. Now we are "kicking"
again. It is not probable that either
the Government or a newspaper corporation can afford to dispense with the
moral support of the Christian people
of Hawaii.
But of far greater importance to us is
the Divine favor. With God's blessing,
which has for so many years encompassed Hawaii with a Divine protection,
our little country is strong and safe.
Let us see to it that we do not forfeit
that blessing by discarding God's Holy
Day. We need beware of letting ourselves down to the moral and political
degradation of New Orleans and San
Francisco, cities without a proper Sabbath, and consequently given over to
political misrule. God has endowed
this favored community of Hawaii with
a powerful moral control, by means ot
His Word and His Sabbaths, in which

Miss Marcia Maria Smith.
By Rev. O. H.
Gulick.
In The Advance of Chicago, July 9th,
we find a notice of the death on the 27th
of June, at Dover, 111., at the age of 90
years, of this estimable christian lady,
who was a missionary and teacher in
these islands for fifteen years, from
1837 to 1852.
She was first stationed at Kaneohe
on this island, as a teacher and later
was a teacher of the children of missionaries, in Honolulu, Lahainaluna, on
Hawaii and at Koloa, Kauai.
But when Punahou School was organized in 1842, she was associated with
Rev. and Mrs. Dole in the conduct of
the school and continued there as a
teacher for eleven years, till her return
to the States in 1863.
At Punahou, she was what in modern
language would be styled the matron.
To the parents resident on the other
islands, orat other stations, the character
of the one who should especially look
after the well being and the conduct of
the children boarders, was a matter ot
vital interest.

The faith and trust that these discreet
fathers and mothers exercised in Miss
Smith, was not misplaced. Her constant
vigilance and untiring industry in the
service of children committed to her
care, had no rival.
She believed in that ancient, and, in
some families, obsolete command.
"Children obey your parents;" and
counted the command as equally binding when parents committed their power
to a teacher.
With her, order was heaven's first
law, and for lawless boys the situation
on the green trunk in her bedroom was
one for much serious reflection.
At home it might have been an era of
go as you please, but once a boarder in
Punahou and the youth found himself
under a reign of law and order, under a
system of rules established with a power
behind them, and that power conscientiously exercised for the highest good of
the pupils
It is seldom that a missionary after
spending fifteen years in a foreign field
teturns to spend 44 years in the home
land.
Fifteen years ago, the writer, one of
her earlier scholars, visited Miss Smith
at her home in Dover. Her memory of
old Punahou days was bright, and she
was following with deep and loving
interest the life recorded of those older
Punahou boys whom she had known and
taught.
In coming to these islands in 1837
Miss Marcia Smith was accompanied by
her sister, Miss Lucia, who later became
the wife of Rev. Lorenzo Lyons of
Waimea, Hawaii, the sweet singer of
Hawaii's Israel.
There are to-day about forty mission
children living upon these islands, of
fifty years ot age, and upwards, whose
memory reaches back to the Punahou of
of early days and to Miss Smith.
The painful news has come of the
sudden death of our beloved and honored
brother, the Rev. E. P. Baker, formerly
for many years pastor of tbe Foreign
Church of Hilo. Mr. Baker was crossing on a bifycle a small bridge over a
chasm near Santa Cruz, California, and
rode off the side of the bridge. His
body was found in the bottom of the
chasm seventy-five feet below.
Mr. Baker was a preacher of fervor
and active thought. He was an ardent
student of volcanic phenomena, and
made repeated solitary trips to the summit of Mauna Loa, being inured to the
hardship and privation of such journeys.
He was 65 years of age.

REV. ELIAS BOND, D.D.
A Memorial Sketch by Rev. C. M. Hvde. D.D.
Very few of the missionaries senl to
these Islands by the American Board
have shown more force ol character or
exerted a wider personal influence in the
pioneer period ol the development of
the country than Rev. Ettas Bond
Born in Hallowell, Me., Aug. IS, 1813,
of godly linglish parents, his parents'
interest in the spread of the gospel, at
home and abroad, was one of the formative influences of his boyhood. Every
Sunday morning the little box, with two
slots in the cover, one for foreign missions, and one for domestic charities,
was brought out to receive the contributions of every one in the family. 'Ihe
children were expected to contribute ol
their earnings. Picking up rope around
the wharves, or running errands, were
the chief resources for the boy. Money
was not abundant mi those days, nor
was there much variety of occupation.
Carrying two miles as large a bundle of
wool as he could shoulder, the boy would
be paid three cents. One day his teacher
rewarded him with a four-pence ha'penny for proficiency in memorizing
Lindley Murray's Compendium. Boylike he hesitated for a 1. ng time how to
spend it to the best advantage. His
mother advised him to put it in the box
for foreign missions. He demurred
against disposing of the money in th.tt
way, for he would never see it again:
and he preferred spending half of it tor
candy, and half of it for powder, using
as a cannon an old pistol ban el he hail
picked up somewheie. Saturday night
came and he was still undecided. His
mother strongly urged giving it to the
Lord, and finally clinched her arguments,
and enforced her persuasions, with the
promise, that if he gave it to foreign
missions, and he was ever afterwards
without a cent in his pocket, she would
give him herself a four pence ha' penny.
He accepted her generous proposal.
Weeks went by, but somehow he always
had his cent for the Sunday contribution.
There came one Saturday night, however, when nothing had been earned,
and he was preparing to demand of his
mother the fulfilment of her pledge,
when there came a knock at the door.
A neighbor came in to ask Blias to run
down to the village store for her, and
pay him three cents. The incident was
so strange an interposition to prevent
the forfeiture of his mother's pledge,
that the boy learned a lesson of hopefulness and trust in any extremity The
Sunday gift box was at Mr. Bond's
request in these later years sent to him
as a treasured keepsake.
Thriftiness was as marked a trait from
that time onward, as faith that was
willing to trust God for any needed help.

While waiting for the completion of

manufacture sugar, on being allowed a
certain amount of land for their canefields. The new missionary had arrived

people, and in three months' time inquirers flocked to the meeting house and
to the pastor's study. They would come
from miles away, and sit patiently till
their time came for a pei son.tl interview

98 were received into the Church. In
January, 1843, there had been 2,aim
inquirers, but of these only 300 had been
received into the Church. Religion, as
Father Bond lived it, was no rapturous
uplift into a mystical higher life, nor a
sentimental effusiveness of attachment
to the Supreme Father and Lord. Faith
in the need of a Divine Redeemer from
sin was fundamental, and the outward
manifestation was doing the will ofGod
the Father in the Spirit of Jesus Christ
His Son. Yet with all the care taken
in catechising and instructing and watch
ing the new converts, we find in the
church records under date of January 5,

the work of repair was begun and carried
on by the people, they voting under
the enthusiasm aroused by their pastor's
appeal to do the work themselves without asking any outside aid.
Bui the missionary in these days must
look aftei the bodies as well as the souls
of men. Filthy habits of living made
skin diseases common, and pound after
pound of sulphur and lard was most
liberally used before any satisfactory
degree ol cl< injinesa was reached. It
was a long time before the Sunday congregations had learned the proprieties of
behavior in a public assembly. The
missionary's own premises were always
a model of neatness and orderliness.
Besides his purely missionary labors,
he was called upon to serve the community in other public functions. As supervisor of roads, he planned and built the
highways that traverse- the district. As
postmaster, he had charge of the mail
service, until it grew too unwieldy for
him to manage in connection with all
his other duties. As school agent, he
had the care of the schools and school
houses throughout the district, the employment of teachers and arrangements
for pay and residence. When the change
in tile tenure of land was made and the
distribution of all the land in the country
made in severalty, he was appointed
land agent. It was no small task to
persuade the improvident easy going
Hawaiians to make application for the
lands to which they were- entitled. It
was still more difficult to persuade many
to earn money enough to buy the lands
thai the government w»a selling.at one
dollar an acre. For his services in surveying land, he received pay from the
government, (not from the natives), and
to was enabled to invest in government
land. Kamehameha 111. in just recognition of his services for the welfare of
the community, gave him personally the
land ol lole. near the Mission premises.
As business increased at the Islands,
and Honolulu, the capital city, with its
varied and novel attractions was draw
ing the people away from the country,
Mr. Bond tried to keep the natives at
home and furnish them employment by
starting a sugar plantation. He turned
over his lands to the company, which he
persuaded some of his friends to organize
But imperfect machinery and insufficient
knowledge made the venture unprolita
hie. For twelve years the only dividend
was one barrel oi sugar to each ol the
partners. 'Pons of sticky sugar were
run to waste into the sea. After the
period of tiial and failure had passed,
the reciprocity treaty was arranged, just
as the business began to be profitable.
Mr. Bond's share of the proceeds was
largely distributed to objects of benevolence at the close of each year, with conscientious exactitudethousands of dollars
at a time, yet often the gifts anticipated
the income of the subsequent year.
Such is a brief record of the life and
work of one of the successful and honored
laborers of the American Mission. Yet
there have been and are still in this community, those unworthy the name of
men —who have hounded this faithful,
public spirited, self denying, self sacrificing missionary as a greedy land-grabber, robbing the natives of their possessions, a mercenary paid agent of a
foreign missionary society. If men are
to be judged by what they have done,
the good which Father Bond has accomplished will be a lasting memorial to his
honor, and sufficient refutation of such
malignant
scandal.
But in his humility and modesty, very
little has he ever said ol himself and his
work. Laid aside from active work for
the last twelve years by the infirmities of
age, deafness and rheumatic pains, his
life prolonged largely by the assiduous
care of a devoted daughter, he has borne
his sufferings with uncomplaining fortitude. "I know not why it is that lam

have no litr.ess for it, I know, other than
the mtrcy of God in Christ: but that
mercy is promised to every believer; and I
know that I trust Christ's forgiving grace,
as surely as I did my mother's love."
As a preacher, Father Bond was instructive and persuasive; the clearness
of his statements in regard to truth and
duty was enough to disarm prejudice
and refute disbelief. As a pastor, he
was watchful over every one under his
care, following them with advice or
warning, if ever they seemed inclined to
stray, never vindictive in dealing with
offenders whom reason and love could
influence. As a citizen, few residents
at the islands have lived up to the full
measure of their ability and opportunity
as did he. As a leader in the counsels
of the mission, he was one whom it was
always safe to follow, never rashly impetuous, never timidly conservative,
always judicious, always incisive.
His wife, who had shared the struggles
and privations of the pioneer missionary
work, died May 12, 1881. Eight children survive, Mrs. lillen Bond Bicknell,

a most specious ami persuasive argument
to convince the- minds of the people in
the fact lh.it nearly all the gnat staph:
products of the urn Id have fallen in value
together with Silver; in other words,
Silver has not really depreciated as
d; hut (1 .Id has artificially been
appreciated. The masst oi tht people
of the United
States, are fas) learning to
adopt this reasoning.
It is an easy anil natural conclusion
to their minds that the one thing to do
is to rest oi i- Silver t i its rightful position
toring the Free Coinage ol Silver
which was abolisht d in 1873.

It is the
dema gogui 's great oppoi (unity.
There seems to be very great force
in the argument that the adoption oi free
coinage by the United States alone without the co operation of European Governments, will only result in driving out
all the Gold, and leaving the United
States with a Silver currency only, of
little more than half the purchasing
powei of existing currency, as is now
the case in Mexico. Thus all wages
will be lessened in value. 'Phis argument can be pushed with great force
upon the minds of the laboring classes.
If the threatening stampede to the
Silver side is to be arrested, it apparently
must be- not by denying the evil and
wrong done by demonetizing silver, but
by showing that the proposed remedy of
unconditionally restoring free coinage
will not cure, but will only aggravate
the evil.
It seems evident that tht; United States
are entering on a Presidential Campaign
involving most serious issues. It does
not seem easy to predict what the out

the most sinking instances in prool oi

Rev. A. Y. Soarcs and his coadjutors,
for the Portuguese community, whose
neat usitleiices cluster around lunch
bowl hill.
It now lacks hut a month ol six years
suite Mr. and Mrs So,lies landed at this
port for evangelistic work among their
countrymen, some thousands ol whom
had within a lew years proceeding come

There were found
fiieiltls of the Work who felt that a share
in this enterprise of seed sowing was
better invcsmicnt than sugar stocks,
sure to yield better dividends than coffee,

We are disposed to regard the late portentous deficiencies in our Missionary
Treasuries, aa only another evidence of
the universal depreciation of the value of
all the common products of industry,
such as cotton, sugar, iron, copper, grain
etc. in common with that of silver. When
the people are getting only half as much
gold for what they produce as they used
to do, they are sure to fall off in the amount of gold they donate to Foreign
Misssions.

Holy Spirit. Instead of the Gospel of
Christ, Romish priests teach the efficacy
of Sacraments, the Authority of the
Church, the Worship of Mary and the
Saints, and the power of the Priest.
The Religion they impart is a mixture
of Christianity and Paganism, the latter
predominating through an external and
half heathenish ritual, which keeps the
convert back in the old darkness, and
leaves him without the soul-cleansing
light ot the Redeemer.
While crediting the Catholic priests
with the greatest enterprise and devotion
in many of their missions, it must be
said that then present undertaking in
the Gilbert Islands, in endeavoring to
destroy the victory gained by Protestant
missionaries, after forty years of pioneer
labor, is a most unworthy one.
The Roman Catholics have waited for
thirty-five years until those 30,000 ferocious savages have been taught and
trained in the rudiments of civilization
and Christianity, and the painful and
dangerous part of the work is completed.
They have waited until British governors
have disarmed and pacified the unruly
savage remnant. Now when all is safe
and peaceful, and danger is at an end,
these French priests intrude in strong
force to wrest for their church the fruits
of the forty years toil and peril of Protestants !
They do not come there as friends to
help on the Gospel, and further the good
work begun. Their corps of capable
and self-sacrificing Sisters might render
immense aid in that way. But they
come as avowed enemies, with deadly
hostility to the Protestant religion, which
is absolutely prohibited and suppressed
to this day in every country where
Catholic priests control the Government.
That apostate church of Rome has never
known any compromise or coopeiation
with other Christians who deny the
authority of the Roman Church and
Pope. It is their persistent, deadly,
unrelenting enemy.
Will this always continue so? As
long as this relentlessly hostile attitude
of Rome lasts, Gospel Christians and
missionaries can only labor and pray in
an attitude ol defense against this formidable enemy who claims to be God's
vicegerent on earth. We would like to
live in amity with these priests, many
whom are pious and amiable men. But
they are slaves to an over-mastering
system of spiritual usurpation which
forbids them to treat us as other than
foes. God will set this all right in His
own good time.

Mrs.
Juliette Montague
Cooke.
11l Mtinoiiiiin
In the preparation of this ai tide, espe-
cial aid has been received from memorial
papers prepared for the Woman's Board
by Mrs. Mary S. Rice, and by Mrs. L.
B. Coan.
The subject of this memorial was surpassed by few of the many most choice
and noble women of the Hawaiian Mis
sionary circle either in mental ability and
culture, in personal refinement and
social gifts, or in the more essential
qualities of deeply sanctified piety, and
devotion to the work of winning and upbuilding souls in Christ Jesus. It may
also be said that no other woman so
deeply identified herself with Hawaiian
history as this capable and greatly be
loved and influential educator of six of
those young royal chiefs who afterwards
sat upon the throne of Hawaii. To the
profound and lasting influence which she
exercised upon their very peculiar dispo
sitions and characters, may largely be
attributed such moderation ofconduct as
enabled them to maintain in successful
operation a native monarchy for so long
a period under the severe and pressing
exigencies of modern commercial enterprise, in close contact with which all
other aboriginal monarchies have speedily crumbled. Mrs. Cooke is thus to be
reckoned a historical person of no small
prominence in the annals ofHawaii.
Juliette Montague was of the highest
quality of New Rngland rural lineage.
She was born in Sundsrland, Mass.
March 10, 181-J. "She was a bright,
active, happy girl, fond of her books, her
companions, and of the flowers, wild
woods and hills of beautiful Sunderland,
but always ready for work." She grew
up one of the alert, skillful, capable New
England women. By the death of her
father in her sixteenth year, deprived of
aid in her education, she successfully
made her own way in securing special
advantages in a yonng ladies academy
in Amherst. She then taught the chief
school in the home villege, of pupils ran
ging from two and a halfyears to twentyseven. Her rich voice was prominent
in the village choir. She publicly professed her laith in Christ in 18,13.
Miss Montague's attention early became strongly directed to Christ's call to
carry His Gospel to heathen lands. In
Nov. 24,1836, she was united in marriage
to Mr. Amos S. Cooke of New York City,
then under appointment as an Assistant
missionary to the Hawaiian Islands.
They sailed from Boston, Dec. I I, 1536,
in the Mary Fritz.nr, as members of that
large and famous "reinforcement." Arriving at Honolulu in I Ifi days, Mr. and
Mrs. Cooke were selected by the Mission
out of the eight couples of Ttachers, as
the pair most suitable to take charge of
the education of the children of the royal
chiefs, whose need of competent government and instruction their parents felt to
be urgent. The selection made proved
to be justified by the later results. Mr.
and Mrs. Cooke gradually entered upon
their arduous task. They organized a
Family School for the Royal children,
which continued until 1H49, when the
maturing years of nearly all the pupils
brought that special work to an end.
The present writer is not in possession
iif the materials for any adequate account
ot the very difficult and trying, but skillful and successful work clone by Mr. and
Mrs. Cooke in disciplining and training
the wild and high spirited young natures
thus entrusted to them. The very remarkable Hawaiian chief John Ii with
his wife were made the Kuliits, or personal guardians of the royal children, and
lived with Mr. and Mrs. Cooke in the
large family. Mrs. Rice, who arrived
live years later in 1841, writes. "I sometimes saw her in the school ot young
chiefs, noticed the skill with which she
framed pretty bonnets for the girls, instructing them in many ways. Bemice,
afterwards Mrs. C. R. Bishop, a lovely
little girl, so beautiful with her wonder
ful curls that memory keeps it a living
picture, always seemed to be near Mrs.
Cooke, and well did she repay her care.
The young chiefs were then a very interesting group, prominent among whom
was Liholiho, afterwards Kamehameha
Fourth, then bright and pleasing. He
ever made a friend ot his Mother Cooke,
always having something to tell her,
when I chanced to be at the school. Hei
patience and wisdom were a marvel to
me, her gifts of song greatly increasing
her influence. Their helpers, John li,
and his stately wile, under the influence
of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, developed the
highest style of native Christian character. Many disappointments came to
these teachers in the lives of their pupils;
but the Lunalilo home and the Kamehameha Schools are enduring monuments
of their influence over some of their
pupils, and we can hope it was not in
vain over others."
In illustration of the evils which these
teachers had to correct, the writer ventures to describe an incident witnessed
in 18:5s. The Bishops embarked early in
that yearfor Kauai, on a large brig owned
by Governor Kaikioewa of that island.
It was literarlly packed and jammed with
natives, accompanying the royal Gover
nor. The young Mr. and Mrs. Cooke
were fellow passengers. All were on
board, and the vessel, her sails set was
about to be loosed from the wharf, when
down came young Prince Moses, a lad
of nine, the oldest son of the Premier
Kinau.and brother of Lot and Alexander.
Followed by a train of attendants, he
demanded to be taken on board to make
the voyage. Old Kaikioewa, who was
his special guardian, pleaded and prayed
with the angry child to desist, but little
Moses stood on the wharf and literally
held the vessel, stoiming and howling
This lasted for fully two hours. Mrs.
Cooke is remembered to have maintained
her composure, amid the general annoy-
ance. Moses had not then been under
her charge like some of the younger
ones. The distressing scene ended by a
file of soldiers being sent by Gov. Kekuanaoa his father,
who arrested the
screaming young Prince, and bore him
home, and the brig at last proceeded on
her voyage. The royal children were
all brought up to be absolute masters
over their attendants, with every caprice
indulged. In the Royal School, autho
rity was quietly, but firmly established,
but-with what difficulties!
There being no more royal children,
in 1849 the family school was closed.
Mr. Cooke became associated with Mr.
S. N. Castle in the large financial
agency of the Mission. As that work
diminished, there were subsequently
joined a mercantile business under the
firm name of Cfastle & Cooke, which
still continues. Mr. and Mrs. Cooke
continued to be active in all Christian
and Church work, and their good report
was known to all as Christians of rare
devotion and humility. They lived in
the old Mission House imported in IN2I,
which is still standing at Kawaiahao.
There their hospitality 1was constant to
their fellow missionaries, and to many
visitors.
Mrs. Cooke was always a favorite in
Honolulu Society, owing to her peculiar
refinement and courtesy, and the geniality of her nature. She was wise in
counsel. Her friends and neighbors
constantly sought her advice. From
the time that the Kawaiahao Female
Seminary was established across the
street some thirty yearsago, "its teachers
found in her a ready sympathizer, an
able and considerate counsellor. She
had had large experience in the bringing
up of native youth; she understood trials
and perplexities, but advice was never
thrust upon us, nor were we ever
wounded by her criticism."
"Mother Cooke's friendship was marked for its steadfastness. It was not one
day effusive, and the next changed to cool
civility. The law of kindness was on
her lips, and her constant bearing was
an unspoken definition of true politeness,
'kindness kindly expressed.' "
The thirty years in the old mission
house were years of domestic care and
toil. There were four sons and three
daughters born between 1838 and 1854,
all of whom lived to mature years, and
all gave joy to their mother's heart.
"What memories her children cherish
of her loveand patience, how she wrought
for their welfare, cutting and making
garments boys' and girls'—with her
own hand in late night hours; directing
them in their studies, and leading
them in her own delightful way to companionship with historians and poets of
the p ist and present, and carrying herself bright and cheery in spite of heavy
trials and much bodily suffering."
Two sons died in early manhood, but
leaving children. Several children have
been exceptionally prospered financially.

Educational Success of Mrs. W. H. Gulick.
Rev. W. H. Gulick writes from San
Sebastian in Spain, that two of their students who in 1894 had taken the degree
of "Bachelor of Arts" in San Sebastian,
continued their studies for the University
degree corresponding to that of "Master
of Arts." Mrs. Gulick prepared the girls
for examination in General Literature,
Philosophy, Metaphysics, and Spanish
Literature as well as other studies. In
May 1896, Mrs. Gulick and Miss Webb
went to Madrid to matriculate the two
girls, Esther Alonso and Julian Campo,
in the University. When the ten examinations were completed, the highest
marks were given in all of them ! The
professors were greatly surprised; still
more when they learned that they had
been instructed by lady professors from
the United States. The professor of
Universal History said, laughing, "I
did not intend to give you such a good
mark, for you are enemies of my Catho

received three on confession of faith.
At this last circuit I have baptized at
Makiu two cfiildren. and received two
new members on confession of faith; at
Kuiua baptized three children, received
one new member on confession of faith,
at Taniamaiak none. Here at Butaritari
baptized four children, and restored three
members. One was postponed for next
communion term. He went to the Catholics from Nua's time, and I have succeeded in getting him back, but I want to experiment his faith yet. He gave me two
Catholic books, As I have heard from
Kano.i that you desire to get hold of some
of the Catholics' translations into the
Gilbert tongue, I send them to you.
May 2. The Catholic priest who
went to Makiu is back f,rom his trip, and
I am glad to hear from the people that
he had no success there at all. I have
just received a letter from Tabiteuea from
Rev. S. K.taia. He says that the people
are leaving him through the intermediance of Catholic priests. lam sorry to
hear that, but I think the reason is this:
Kaaia has three districts under his care,
and they are far distant from each other.
So when he is away from one of his districts, the Catholics have all the chance
to go and sow their seeds, as they do
here while I am away; and mind you,
dear friend, after the Catholic gets hold
of any of these natives, it is very hard to
get them back again. I have succeeded
to get one back here, but with hard toil.
Now the news is that at Paaluhi's parish
the Catholics have no success. Why ?
Simply because the Pastor does not leave
his sheep, but is c instantly among them.
Therefore if the Catholics succeed here
among the group, it is because they have
many missionaries and plenty of money
to carry on the work. So I think the
time has come for the Hawaiian Board
to send smart men here to help the work.
I have understood that the Hawaiian
Board think it is about time now, or a
little later, for Kusaie students to carry
on the work among these Islands. But
lam afraid of that. Aa far as I understand their knowledge in Biblical studies,
they are inferior to the Catholi? priests
and monks, and mind you, the first thing
those Catholics try to, is to argue with
ourselves and our schoolteachers, and to
depersuade the people to follow after our
teachings. Now if we are not able to
challenge their minds, and to prove to
the |>i pie that the Catholics are in error,
they will leave us and follow after them.
So I think that Kusaie students are not
able to face these Catholics. Therefore
if the Hawaiian Board want to sustain
this mission, they must try hard to supply the stations with missionaries of experience about Christanity and also good
Biblical students. Pardon me if I go too
tar.

Louis M. Mitchell.
Romanists
and the Scriptures.
Father Vaughan, brother of Cardinal
Vaughan. has lately been around the
world visiting mission stations, and
instructing the Roman Catholic missionaries to make diligent use of the
Scriptures. That Romanists have adopted this method of work should confirm
Protestants in their old method of
grounding their converts well in the
knowledge of the word of God. The
use of the Scriptures in the South Sea
Islands is so marked a feature of modern
Romanist missions as to deserve special
notice. The Papal Church never did
much for education while she held the
key of knowledge; but in the South Sea
Islands her priests are now full ot educational zeal. In the Samoan Islands
the Roman Catholic Church has some
5000 adherents out of a population of
36,000. The London Missionary Society
reports 5743 church members. (This
implies over 15,()00 adherents. Ed.J
The Romanists have a girl's school, and
wherever a priest settles there is a school
of some sort, which he supervises. In
the Gilbert Islands, the priests who
have come to begin a Romanist mission
there, have brought out a translation of
the Gospel of Matthew illustrated with
pictures and maps; a tabular harmony
of the four gospels printed at Friburg; a
pictorial life of Jesus printed in Paris;
a book of prayers, etc. Copies of these
books have been recently sent to Honolulu by Hawaiian missionaries at work
in the Gilbert Islands.
C. fcf. H.
The pictorial Life of Jesus in Gilbertese is illustrated in very superior
style. May the above facts encourage
us to hope for the day when the French
Catholic priests in Hawaii will give the
Holy Scriptures to their disciples. It
was only the other day that Catholic
priests tore New Testaments out of the
hands of Portuguese in Honolulu and
destroyed them. Perhaps they will not
repeat the act. But in all Catholic
countries, the distribution of the Bible
to the common people is strictly forbidden to this day.
As in Hawaii, so in the Gilbert Islands,
the Catholic missionaries are active in
the work of school education, through
their necessity to keep up with the Protestants. In Mexico and South America the priests discourage education.

There is scarcely any line of benevolent work in these Islands, whose progress is more gratifying than that of the
Kindergartens. The Free Kindergarten
Society now reaches out to extend the
good gift to the little folks on the large
plantations. In this work, let there be
no failure to improve to the utmost the
grand opportunity to instil into these infant minds the fundamental principles of
religion towards God, in worship, obedience and faith.

Rev.
J.
M. Lewis, in charge of this
work, read a report Sept. 33rd, at Central Union Church, in which he said:
"We earnestly hope to see soon a
kindergarten established at this place.
One is needed, and there are a large
number of children of kindergarten age
who are ready to come. Many parents,
I believe, are anxious to see the school
established. The distance to the town
for these children is too great, but this
building is well situattd and well adapted
for this purpose. For such an organiza
tion we need means. If we could make
our philanthropic friends understand how
deep a matter we have in hand, and if
they could realize the educational and
even the spiritual value of such a school,
perhaps then money will flow from many
quarters and make the kindergarten an
established fact in this place.

to their children. It being ascertained
that we should be such as they could
wish, the mission voted by a large
majority that we should relinquish oui
other labors and undertake it. Some
did not vote, because they did not like
to have anything done to encourage a
distinction between the children of chiefs
and common people. We saw that as
a general thing, the)' did not attend our
schools, and thai they were growing up
in ignorance. Bro. Whitney said thai
if Moses weic allowed to go back to
Kauai, he would do more hurt there than
three missionaries could do good. This
was more or les-. so with some of the
others. The chiefs said they would
furnish ■ house and support the children,
if the teacher would take them into his
family. Under these circumstances we
consented, unqualified as we were, to
engage in this new school.
The children were all at Honolulu,
and ready to go into the school and
attend until a house should be built.
We commenced with six a few days
before general meeting broke up, in a
small stiuly which I had built the past
year. The) now number eight, and are
to be increased to ten or more, two of
whom are still babes. We have taught
nothing but the English language, and
design to bring them up to learn and
speak the English language.
The house was commenced and going
on finely when the French frigate arrived
and took away all their money. This
has discouraged them about the house
as yet, which «;ets along very slowly.
It may be dune by next general meeting.
In the meantime the)' come daily to

189f».
On the llth of April we moved into
the house, and during a vacation of about
four weeks, the chiefs furnished the
moms for their children by procuring
bedsteads and beds, bureaus and tables,
etc. and matting the rooms with fine
native mats. The house on the outside
is 70 feet square, with a court in the center, 36 feet square. The building contains 17 rooms of various dimensions,
including cook room, dining room, bedrooms, school room 16x22 feet, and
rooms for domestics. All this has been
done at an expense of $ 1500, exclusive
of about $500 worth of work which has
been done as a fun Into (prison labor.)
Most of $1500 has passed through my
own hands, and about $200 of it has
gone to natives for plastering, painting,
digging well, etc.
During the year the parents did nothing towards our support, but since the
children have come into our family, they
have supplied the table with eatables and
some furniture. The six children of the
chiefs who first came to the school were
four boys and two girls. The eldest oi
these was about ten and the youngest
about four years of age. One of them,
Alexander the King's son, could read a
little in English books, and one, Moses,
could spell out words of one syllable.
Four of them did not know the alphabet.
We commenced purposing to teach them
the English language, and through that
the sciences.
To this we have, and do still adheie.
As for writing, they knew nothing of it,
and five can now write a legible hand.
Four of these six have attended almost
daily. Two in a few weeks went to
Maui, but others soon took their places.
During the year the children have been
under our inlluence but about three hours
per day, ,and but live days in a week.
However they have made some progress,
which encourages us in our new, very
difficult and responsible task. They have
not been so difficult to manage as we
anticipated, submitting to the rules oi
the school without a great deal of Oppo-
sition.
As to what the)' were when they came
into school, some of you know to your
grief, and what they still are, causes us
their teachers many a sad moment.
Whether or no there is any improvement,
we would say to you all as Philip said to
Nathanael, "Come and see.'' Whether
any good can come out of those who
have so long had their own way, and
lived in so corrupted an atmosphere, is
yet to be tried.
After a vacation of nearly four weeks
from Apiil 8, to May 4, the children,
seven in number, came into our family,
and a separation, to which we had looked forward with dread, took place between these seven children and their al
most numberless servants. The first
week was one of frequent crying on the
part of the children, and of wailing on
the part of the servants; but God, as we
had already begun to believe, had un-
�dertaken the work, and He has overturned, and we humbly hope, will con
tinue to overturn, until this mass of pollution, and worse than death, which has
so long surrounded, by day and night,
tbe interests, temporal and eternal, of
these children, shall be entirely rolled
away. The second week the children
began to be more reconciled to their
new home, and *re now happy in school
and at play, and apparently in the restraints already beginning to surround
them.
On the 18th of May the former number of seven was increased to eleven by
the arrival of the King's son and two
smaller ones with him from Maui, and
Kamamalu a little girl of 18 months and
daughter of Kinau. On the same day
John Ii and his wife were added to the
family as Kahus, and the only ones lor
all the children. In a few days another
is expected to enter, a girl of six years
of age, and daughter of Laanui This
will make our number twelve, and as
many as we can possibly manage, considering that it is to be a family, not a
boarding school. Our family arrange
ments are still in their infancy, but are
gradually growing into a system. Obstacles which we have esteemed mountains have, as we advanced, dwindled
into hills.
We take pleasure in acknowledging
the constant and very efficient aid rendered us by Dr. Judd, whose long acquaintance and influence with the chiefs
has availed much, and without whose
advice and cooperation, we very much
doubt whether the school would now be
in existence.
On the 15th of April we had a Feast
of Dedication, at which the King and
most of the parents were present, and
appeared much pleased with the house
and prospects of their children. The
expenses of the table were principally
borne by them. Aftur dinner we met in
the school-room, and had a prayer by
bro. Bingham, followed by an address
from him in reference to the spiritual interests of the children, the importance of
their being educated together that they
may have but the one pono, the importance of all understanding the word of
God and ruling as there directed, &c. &c.
The children then sung a hymn they had
learned, and bro. Dibble followed with
remarks on the subject of boardingschools, the anxiety or willipgne'ss ot
parents to part with their children for a
season that they might obtain a better
education, the importance of the children
understanding the Fnglish language as
so many are constantly coming to these
shores who speak it, and that they may
have access to the numerous books published on political subjects, and learn the
constitutions and laws of other nations,

Urn Richards followed and closed with

Funeral of Nawahi.
The funeral of the Hon. Joseph Nawas made the occasion of a
large turnout of the native Royalist
sympathizers with the deceased gentlemen. About fiOU members of Hawaiian
Patriotic Societies and Leagues formed
in the procession which escorted the
mortal remains to the steamer Hawaii
for conveyance to Hilo. At the wharf
was a crowd of some 1000 natives, with
the customary wailing and chanting of
the virtues of the deceased. Mr. Nawahi
having once been for a few days a member of the (Queen's Cabinet, the Government sent the Band and a company of
Police as escort to head the procession.
At Lahaina, large quantities of flowers
were piled aboard the steamer in testimony of Royalist sympathy.

among the Hawaiians in mental ability
His personal character was always
highly reputable. He had been in law
practice for several years. In politics,
Mr. Nawahi actively and consistently
espoused the claim of the Hawaiians to
control the Government, to the exclusion
of any dominating influence of the
whites. He was intensely opposed to
the Revolution of 1889 which established
such a domination, and was a faithful
supporter of Liliuokalani and Hawaiian
supremacy after the Ojueen's dethronement. Although he took no part in the
royalist insurrection of 1896, he was,
from a Hawaiian point of view, an ardent
patriot. In view of his estimable personal character, his death is to be felt
as a genuine loss to Hawaii.

Great Aquarium for Honolulu.
It is learned that Professor W. T.
Brigham, the eminent Curator of the
Bishop Museum, has returned from his
recent tour around the globe, with a
commission from the munificent Charles
R. Bishop to establish in Honolulu a
first-class Aquarium for the scientific
study of the marine life of the Pacific.
It is understood that Mr. Bishop is prepared to expend $750,000 in buildings,
apparatus, and endowments. Such an
institution may be expected to attract a
concourse of students and specialists, to
pursue investigations. Provision will
also be made for exhibiting the curiosities of marine life to the general public.
Farther details respecting the proposed
institution may be expected.
During his tour, Prof. Brigham has
secured for the Museum very complete
sets of photographs of specimens of
Polynesian art obtained by Cook, Vancouver and other early explorers, and
deposited in various Kuropean Museums.
Blavatskyism.
By Sanscrit
Prof. Hopkins of Yale.
"Apart from philosophical influence
there is at present more or less interest
in Europe and America in Indie superstition and spiritualism, and half educated people will doubtless be influenced
tor some time to come by Mahatniaism
and Yogism, just as they are moved by
native seance-spirits and mesmerism.
Blavatsky ism (which represents no phase
of Buddhism) will always find disciples
among the ignorant classes, especially
in an agnostic or atheistic environment,
so that one should attribute the mental
attitude of such minds to their lack of
culture rather than to India; for if Mahatmaism had not been discovered, they
would still profess it under another
name."
Accident to Aeronaut.
James W. Price, proprietoi of a circus,
on the 29th of August, undertook to
ascend from Wailuku, Maui, in a hot
air balloon. At the height of 1:10 feet
the balloon burst. Price cut away his
parachute, but it failed to open. The
aeronaut plunged into a large, thick
mango tree in W. M. Robinson's yard,
escaping with a bruised and scratched
face.
It is somewhat of a coincidence that
just a week before at Astoria, Oregon,
Weston Daggett fell 2000 feet, by the
failure of his parachute to open. He
dropped into a large fir tree, but was
fearfully mangled, we have not heard
whether fatally so or not. A few years

a mile out to sea, and the man lost.

it became known to them that there was

Pitcairn Islanders.
Tne hundred and eighl years ago a
part of the crew of the British ship
Bounty mutinied against Capt. Bligh
and set him adrift with eighteen men in
the ship's launch. Alter a voyage in the
launch of 3,6(10 miles Capt. Bligh and
his men landed on the island of Timor.
But the Bounty's prow was turned
Northward to Tahiti. Nine British
sailors with six Tahitian men and twelve
women sailed eastward to I'itcairn Island
where they took up their residence and
burned the Homily in I7KK.
In the course of the next ten years
all the Tahitian men, all the sailors with
the exception of Alexander Smith (who
subsequently changed his name to John
Adams) and several of the women had
died by violence or disease
for twenty years, or till IKON, the fate
of the Bounty was wholly unknown to
the world. In this yeai, an American
Capt. folger, touched at I'itcairn Island
and reported his discovery. Alter John
Adams was left alone as the sole snrvi
vol of the original company, he seems
to have been thoroughly converted, and
by his earnest endeavors instilled into
the young minds of bis own companions
and descendants the principle of the
Chi istian religion.
And to day, the Pitcaitn community
IS thought by intelligent visitors to be
the most godly company of believers in
the world.

In the name of my August Master, the
Emperor of China, I beg to tend to you
his best thanks for jour approval and
appreciation of the protection afforded
to the American missionaries in China.
What we have done -and how little we
have done on our part ! —is but the duty
of our Government; while the missionaries, as you have so well expressed, have
not sought tor pecuniary gains at the
hands of our people. They have not
been secret emissaries of diplomatic
schemes. Their labors have no political
significance; and the last, not the least,
if I might be permitted to add, they have
not interfered with or usurped the rights
of the territorial authorities.
In a philosophical point of view, as far
as I have been able to appreciate, Christianity does not differ much from Confucianism, as the Golden Rule is expressed
in a positive form in the one, while it is
expressed in the negative form in the
other Logically speaking, whether these
two forms of expressing the same truth
cover exactly the same ground or not, I
leave to the investigation of those who
have more philosophical tastes. It is,
at the present, enough to conclude that
there exists not much difference between
the wise sayings of the two greatest
teachers, on the foundations of which
the whole structure of the two systems
of morality is built. As man is composed of soul, intellect and body, I highly
appreciate that your eminent Boards, in
your arduous and much esteemed work
in the field of China, have neglected
none of the three. I need not say much
about the first, being an unknowable
mystery of which even our great Confu

establishments which have served as the
best means to enable our countrymen to
acquire a fair knowledge of the modern
arts and sciences of the West. As for
the material part of our constitution,
your societies have started hospitals and
dispensaries to save not only the soul
but also the body of our countrymen. I
have also to add that in the time of
famine in some of the provinces you
have done your best for the greatest
number of sufferers to keep their bodies
and souls together.
Before I bring my reply to a conclusion, I have only two things to mention.
The first, the opium smoking, being a
great curse to the Chinese population,
your societies have tried your best, not
only by anti-opium societies, but to
afford the best means to stop the craving
for the opium; and also, you receive none
as your converts who are opium smokers.
I have to tend, in my own name, my
best thanks for youi most effective
prayers to God to spaie my life when it
was imperiled by the assassin's bullet,
and for the most kind wishes which you
have just now so ably expressed in the
interests of my Sovereign, my country
and my people.

A glance into the statistics of the subject shows that the industries in the
United States in which electric power
transmission is employed represent invested capital amounting to $1,500,000,-000, and two-thirds of these industries
have grown up within the past ten years.
The Republic has now more than 1 "2,000
miles of electric railroads, including over
90 per cent, of all street railroads in the
country, and using 25,000 trolley cars.
There are nearly 8,000 isolated electric
plants, representing capital amounting
to $200,000,000. We have about 500,-000 motors in use, of an aggregate value
of $75,000,000. The complete displacement of steam is regarded as a question

Waianae Coffee Plantation.
Much attention is being attracted to
a very thriving coffee plantation of 45
acres in Waianae owned by Mr. Ahrens
the manager of the neighboring sugar
plantation. The trees are three and
four years old, and are heavily loaded
with berries.
This tract is under the lee of Kaaia
mountain, and thus protected from thc
driving trades. It is about 1000 feet in
altitude, at which height it enjoys abundant mountain rain, as well as coolness.
Prof. Koebele's lady-birds completely
antidote all forms of insect blight.
Other small plantations are forming
along the same mountain base. There
seems to be no reason why coffee culture
should not be a perfect success on perhaps two or three thousand acres on
Oahu, which are equally well-situated.
Blight has been the chief cause of former
failures.
Apparently, coffee culture presents
larger opportunity than any other occupation in these islands to white settlers
of small means.
It is satisfactory to see again urged
the conversion of the newly filled land above the Railway Station into a Park
where children may revel among trees
and flowers. Surely this will be done.
Lying along the new-made stream, such
a Park will be a place of beauty.
A Bicycle Race Track is arranged to
be made on the salt marsh flat in Kewalo beyond corner of South and King
Streets.
That region is in process of
reclamation and will soon become beauti
ful with trees and gardens.
