A Deadly Blow at "Higher Critics."
Dr. A. 11. Sayce is not in the least a
worshipper of the Bible- but he has too
much science to follow Kuenen and
VVellhausen, 01 their disciples, Driver,
Briggs and Harper, who cut the Pentateuch into small slivers, the product of
many different writers, which somebody
pieced together. Sayce is an accomHe has com

pared the Babylonian account of the
Deluge with that in Genesis. The
"Higher Critics" have proved, as they
think, that the Genesis story is a compilation from two distinct writers whom
they call fehovistic and Elokistic. They
have confidently picked out the passages
belonging to each writer.
Now tonus Dr. Sayce and shows that
out of nineteen distinct resemblances
between the Babylonian epic and the so
carefully dissected chapters in Genesis,
twelve are found in the Elohistic part,
and seven in the Jehovistic. Now the
author of the Babylonian Bpir lived
before the time of Abraham, and so
could not have had Genesis before him.
Sayce says it is hence evident, "that the
division of the biblical text into a Jehovistic and an Elohistic document is a
philological mirage. And if it is a
mirage in the account of the Deluge,
where the marks of separate authorship
apptar to be clearer than anywhere else
in the Pentateuch, it must be still more
a mirage elsewhere. With the collapse
ol the literary analysis of the narrative
of the Deluge, the whole fabric ol the
literary analysis of the Pentateuch falls
to the ground."
With our own limited scholarship and
reading of the higher critics, we yet
have received a very clear impression
that their methods are extremely fanciful and unscientific. Their treatment of
specific passages is conjectural, and
then they argue from their fanciful

Anglican "Counter-Reformation."
From an article in the N. Y. Independent we excerpt some statements.
No. J7 of "Catholic Papers" written
by ultra Anglican ritualists denounces
the Reformation, and says the great aim,
"Is to win our way back into the
unity of Western Christendom, and to
set the English Primate once more in
his proudest place the right hand of the
Throne of Peter, to whom belongs jure
divino the Primary of all."
But Leo XIII declares that the Archbishop of Canterbury is not in orders at
all. He will not admit such pretenders
as the Anglican Clergy to sit with him.
Procul, o procitl este profiiui !" All this
is very sad.
To most people the task ol bunging
the English Church back to the groveling superstition and credulity of preKeformation times seems somewhat
hopeless. But to believe in what seems
impossible is the joy of these queer
medieval dreamers.
The great British people have too
much solid sense and love of liberty not

The "Throne of Peter!
These renegade Anglicans bow down to the Giant
Lie of the Ages. Peter certainly never
was "Bishop ol Rome." The weight of
evidence shows that he never was in
Rome. Even if he had been Bishop, he
held no Primacy in the Church of Christ.
Nor if Primate,'did he, or could he, ever
delegate that office to any successors.
The whole scheme of Peter's Primacy

the afternoon they have read in their
native bibles, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and
other select portions. On the Sabbath
they have always attended native service twice, and sometimes the oldest
have attended English service at the
Chapel.
After all, none give evidence of having
passed from death into life, although at
times some have shown a little seriousness. Their conduct upon the Sabbath
has been much better than we antici
pated. By precept and example we
have striven to teach them great reverence for the Sabbath, the impropriety
of visiting aed receiving visits, and the
wickedness of wasting the day in frivolous conversation. Generally our labors
have been more fatiguing on that day
than on the other days of the week.
Difficulties and trials. We have
spoken freely of the encouragements
with which we have met, and perhaps it
may not be amiss to allude to some ol
the difficulties and trials that have at
times obstructed our path. From the
commencement we havebeen watched by
the numerous kahus of the children who
have been extremely jealous of our influence over them, and more especially
since the children have been separated
from them. In some way or another
they would hear of all that was transacted within the house, and with such
additions and subtractions as they chose
to make, they would pour their complaints into the ears of the parents and
chiefs to the no small detriment of us
the teachers. The parents being alway
free to come into the establishment,
would frequently come and learn the
truth or falsehood of the stories coming
constantly to their ears. They sooi.
found they must not give credit all they
heard. From the first we have walked
with careful but decided steps. We
knew our motives were not appreciated
as they should be, either by parent^,
children, or kahus. We have tried tv
please them all, but more especially our
Master in Heaven.
At one time one of our domestics became disaffected, and reported that one
of the boys was sick and had not eaten
for two days. A grandmother came to
see and found it to be false. However,
it so worked upon her mind that a few
days after when we were returning on
horseback from our bathing excursion,
she called the man who had her grand
son to carry him to her. He did so,
and she would not give him up again
for some time until forced to by li, the
kahu appointed for the boy by the King,
who after conversing with her upon the
impropriety of her conduct, actually
took him by main strength and returned
him to the school. The conduct of this
woman was universally disapproved by
the parents.
Ghost stories, etc. —We had not been
here many weeks before one of the older
girls heard of the death of one of her kahus, and told the other children that the
—
spirit of her kahu was after her. That
night one of the smaller boys fell out of
bed, and was exceedingly frightened,
and cried with a loud cry, a ghost ! a
ghost ! They all would have it that
the house was haunted, and we were
somewhat fearful they all would leave.
At another time, they heard that a sorcerer on Maul had prophesied that all
who entered the school would die. This
also made them uneasy for several days.
At another time, as I was waLing out
one morning with two of the eldest boys,
the elder Stepped over a mark in the
road. The other saw it, Stepped back,
and cried to the elder one that he had
crossed that maik made by a sorcerer,
and that he would be prayed to death.
His mind was so troubled about it that
he was truly sick. His mother happened
to be here about that time, and she
rather confirmed his fears. But when
Kekuanaoa heard of it, he told her she
must not come any more to see her son.
At first, however, Kekuanaoa fell in
with the mother, and sent one morning
three times before breakfast to have the
boy go down to the fort and take some
native medicine. I finally sent word
that he had better send the medicine up,
which he did and the boy took it. It
was a week before he got entirely over it.
They used sometimes to talk about
lapus, until I repeatedly explained to
them the nature of one. For some
months we have heard nothing about
ghosts, or lajuis, or sorcerers, neither are
they so af.aid of the dark as they once
were.
Their selfish feelings. —These were
very apparent when we first commenced,
each feeling that everything should con
tribute only to him and herself. But we
are happy to see that they are learning
that the world is wide enough for them
all, and that others have rights as dear
to them as their rights are to themselves.
Reports to the chiefs. —About the Ist
April, I wrote in native a report of our
school up to that time, and sent it to the
parents and chiefs at Lahaina. I have
not learned what they did with it. I
also wrote to Mr. Richards about his
suggesting to the chiefs the propriety of
their paying us a salary if we continued
their school another year. I told him if
they were able and withal willing, our
relations to the Board and Christian
community required us to get our support from them. I wished them to pay
whatever they did pay into the Depository, and we draw our allowance from
thence as usual. From that, as yet, we

year they have furnished us with most
of our eatables, but we have expended
from our stipend for the school much
more than enough to balance all that.
We have furnished some books, ftc
Our crockery is mostly broken. Our
stove and kitchen furniture have also
been nearly destroyed. We have also
expended something for repairs about
the house. These facts I stated in my
letter to Mr. Richards, lest the chiefs
might get the impression that they were
already doing something towards our
support. It is true that they have furnished us with a house to live in, but
this has been helping the mission, and
not us as individuals of that mission.
In conclusion, allow us to say that we
are tired in the work but not of it.
Though our number has been small, we
have endeavored to benefit them the

Even the few have driven ua
much more than we have been driven
since we have been on missionary
ground. The importance of such a
school has greatly increased in our estimation, and as its importance has increased, our incompetencytothe task has
also increased. But like Mary, we have
endeavored to dowhat we could. Brethren, pray for us, and these interesting
children, and should we, or anyone else
continue the school another year, may
we not hope that the blessing of God
will descend in answer to your prayers,
and these future rulers of the nation be
converted in their youth, and be so
accustomed to do good, that they ahall
become a great blessing to themselves,
to the nation, and to the church.
So pray your fellow-laborers in the
kingdom and patience of our Lord Jesus
Christ.

The Woman's Exchange.
This institution, underthe auspices of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, was reported at the annual meeting ol the latter on Oct. 20, as having
met a fair amount of financial success.
Their quarters were removed several
months ago to the old Gazette building
on Merchant street, which was renovated
and fitted up. There in the front rooms
are sold the various curios, fans and
other handiwork of depositors. A lunch
room has also been maintained, where
needy house keepers are enabled to dispose of the dainty products of their
cookery. This has been much frequented by the business men of the city.
Prices are necessarily low, and the
eatables are excellent. Some pecuniary
contributions have so far been needed,
to make ends meet. This establishment
is not only a favorite resort of the public
at lunch hour, but gives support to
many worthy women. "Some forty
women are in part supporting themselves
and families, while about twenty are
almost wholly dependent upon this
institution."
University
Association of Hawaii.
This body was organized October 16th,

Professor Brigham's Tour.
A large audience at Pauahi Hall, Punahou, on the evening of October 13,
listened to Professor W. T. Brigham's
condensed and graphic story of his
recent tour aiound the globe of eight
months via Fiji, Sydney, Melbourne,
Adelaide, Colombo, Suez, Naples, Rome,
Florence. Vienna, Berlin and other cities
ot Europe and England.
It was a
special treat to have glimpses of so
many places revealed by such a tourist's
rare powers ol observation. The accomplished Curator of the Bishop Museum
has evidently accumulated during his
tour large additions to the stole of Polynesian antiquities and art specimens,
and especially of jihotograjihs of all
important objects of the kind in the
various European Museums, many of
which came from Cook and Vancouvel
and other early explorers.
The lecturer evidently avoided with
scrupulous care, all mention of one lead
ing object of his trip, the plans in view
for the great Aquarium proposed to be
established in Honolulu by the munificence of the Hon. C. K. Bishop undei
Prof. Brigham's direction. Statements
upon this subjeci were doubtless reserved
for future fitting occasion. They will
be awaited with interest.

Victoria's the Longest English Reign.

All English speaking nations are

all his predecessors, by a reign of fiftynine years and ninety-seven days. The

Increase of Ocean Steamers at Honolulu.
During the last three months ol I vi.l,
the number of ocean steamers calling at
this port averaged seven a month. They
now average thirteen, or an annual
rate of increase of two per month. At
this rate by the end of 1905, Honolulu
must provide wharfage for :ll steamers
a month, besides their attendant coal
ships, which will require equal or greater
accommodation. By the end of I'JOO,
or four years hence. ..'I steamers a
month must be cared for. Indeed the
ratio of increase is likely to accelerate.
And the additional ships are likely to
average greater length, tonnage and
speed than the present ones.
It is evident that our harbor facilities
are going to be strained to the utmost.
At times there will be six 01 eight ships
simultaneously in port, in a harry to
coal up and be oil. At piesent there are
only two suitable wharves. Two more
are projected, and it is hoped, will be
available in a year or more. Another
pair are intended to follow, say m two
or three years from date. Probably
other available locations for deeji water
wharves may be found in the harbor.
Whenever an Isthmian Canal is opened,
a large additional fleet of steamers will
pour in upon us. It seems doubtful
whether room for them can be found at
all in this harbor, or whether dockage
could be constructed fast enough.
The.c is howver, the amplest room to
be found in Pearl Harbor. The time is
evidently not distant when the use of
that commodious haven will be imperatively required. It remains to be seen
whether the United States will dredge
out and open the bar for the purpose of
a Naval Station in time for our commercial necessities, or whether the Hawaiiart Government will be compelled to
aSsume the task. Our commercial prospects are certainly promising.

Unwise
Methods of Teaching.
A correspondent of the Evening Bill
Ictin gives the following sample:
My youngest hopeful returned home
from school last evening with the following as a samjile of the arithmetic
lesson of the day: "Mary gathered 37
mangoes on Monday, 43 on Tuesday, 64
Wednesday, IV on Thursday and 76 on
Friday. How many mangoes did Mary
gather during the five days?" The answer, to be written out in accordance with
the formula adopted by the educational
authorities, is something like this:
"This is a problem in addition. Since
Mary gathered 37 mangoes on Monday,
43 on Tuesday, 64 on VVednesday, lil on
Thursday, and 76 on Friday, Mary must
have gathered the sum of 37 mangoes,
13 mangoes, 64 mangoes, 19 mangoes,
and 76 mangoes, or 239 mangoes."
"Mr. Editor, what earthly sense is
there in that kind of instruction? What
benefit is it to a child to go through such
a circumlocutory course in order to obtain a simple result?"
"How is it that the average school
teacher becomes so imbued with the idea
that any such tomfool method as the above will broaden and expand the intellect ola child?"
We can testify to the correctness of
the above. Normal Schools have much
to answer for in training young teachers
to foolish methods. No amount of technical training can exempt a teacher from
the need of exercising independent good
sense.
Comets Not Dangerous.
The following paragraph is going the
rounds:
"Professor Falk of Vienna announces
that the earth will collide with a comet
on November 13, 1899. The earth
itself will survive the shock, but every
living thing will be choked with poisonous gases and he finally cremated."
now known
of the structure
of comets, to make it safe to say that a
collision with one would have little effect
upon the earth. The most that would
be noticed would be a swarm of shooting
stars, from the combustion mom atmosphere of the little meteoric stones, of a
cloud of which the nucleus of the comet
is composed. The vapors of the coma
and of the tail are mainly carbon and
hydrogen, and so tenuous that their
presence could not be perceived at all.
Punctured
by
a Swordfish.
The barkentine Irmgard arrived at
San Francisco Sept. 22d, with a load of
sugar from Honolulu, having sprung a
leak on the passage. On examination,
the blade of a swordfish was found driven
into the bow at the water line. It had
passed through the planking and broken
off about a foot from the outside. No
wonder that whales succumb to the stabs
of swordfish.
Full Pardon to Liliuokalani.
On the 23rd uit., the Council of State
unanimously voted in favor of a full
pardon being granted to the ex-queen,
who had previously been under parole.
Such pardon by the President was ac-

The Theological School is a necessary
factor in the moral and religious forces
of any civilized country. It has a definite work to tlo in training the men who
are to fill the pulpits of the land and be
the leaders of the people in their religious life. Upon its efficiency the success
of this work will largely depend, and
its efficiency will depend upon the thoroughness of its equipment.
All of this is especially true of the
Theological school in these Islands. It
is the natural agency for continuing the
Christian work which was begun here
seventy-five years ago, and from which
so much of good has come. The Fro
testant native churches have looked to
it in years past for their pastors, and in
time to come it should naturally be the
source, to which the other peoples who
are finding their homes here, can look
lor their spiritual leaders. Hut this
school is, as yet, in a process of development. With the growth of morals and
intelligence in the country, new demands
are being made upon it, which, with its
present outfit, it is no longer able to
meet.
As its name implies, it has heretofore
been a missionary school, under the
direction ol missionary boards, and provided for from the funds of missionary
societies. Hut the question may now
fairly be raised whether the time has not
come for a change of method in its
management and support. Not that
there is no longer missionary work to
be done, nor that there is no longer
need of aid.
The contrary is true.
There should be more work done and
there is more need of aid. Hut the
two Hoards from which the funds
are provided, are now taxed to the limit
of their ability. The American Hoard
is carrying on its work on a much
reduced basis. The Hawaiian Hoard
has been in debt at various times in the
past two years. It is in debt at the time
of this writing, with the greater part of
the year's expenses still to be met.
This indicates a rowing work. Under these circumstances, there is no
hope of sufficient enlargement on a
secure basis, either for the work which
the Hawaiian Board is doing in school
and church, among the various peoples
in the Islands, or in the work of the
Institute. But if that branch of the

Thankfulness.
The public mind has just been directed
towards the joy and duty of praise to
God for his mercies. Is it not one of
the greatest of his mercies that he has
not suffered our people to be markedly
lacking in beneficence, but has led many
to the joy of being liberal in the bestowment of their gifts for the public service,
and for the progress of the Gospel. An
instance of this happy generosity has
been in the means provided for the
erection of the beautiful church for the
Portuguese. A place of worship has
also been bought for the Japanese, and
mostly paid for. Many other good
works have been wrought. It has been
a year of exceptional financial prosperity,
and many men are studying where
prudently to invest their surplus dividends. May they be led to invest largely
in wise and thoughtful outlay for the
Kingdom of God in this land. May the
Lord in his great goodness thus move
upon men's hearts to worthy acts of
public beneficence

r at hand a rapid multiplication of

The probable event of
Annexation should stimulate a large
white immigration. The opening of an
Isthiman Canal would promote it. Any
prosperous and desirable management of
such a state as Hawaii should become,
as this great meeting point of the lines
of Pacific commerce, will demand a capable and intelligent white population to
conduct it. We may undoubtedly reckon
on an ingathering of a strong population
of English-speaking whites in Hawaii
during the next twenty or thirty years;
The anxious question arises, how far
will this new immigration find its moral
and spiritual affinities crystallizing
around the sturdy nucleus of Christian
life now existing here, or how much will
it tend to succumb to degrading influences, and renounce that religion and
virtue it had learned in the home land.
The result is certain to be determined
mainly by the amount of healthy vigor
and vitality which the new comers shall
find in the Christian life of the churches
already flourishing in the Islands. They
will find miich of evil here, and will
bring much of evil with them—much of
unbelief, godlessness, immorality. But
the living loyalty of Christ's people to
their Master is a mighty leaven. If
active, it is fully capable of pervading
and transforming very large masses of
new additions to the existing population.
We cannot doubt that this great
function of so leavening the coming
immigration isappointed toour Christian
churches in these Islands, and that it
has been largely in preparation for this
work of spiritually shaping the new population that these churches have been
planted and nourished here into so pros,
perous a growth. The grand task is
probably near at hand. The glorious
opportunity is before our churches of
creating and shaping what shall be a
truly Christian State, in which God is
honored, his laws observed, and righteousness and purity shall prevail. To
fulfil rightly this noble mission it is
needful that all Christian souls should
live near to God, and gird themselves
up to spiritual activity as good soldiers

HONOLULU, H. 1., DECEMBER, 1896.
Volume 54.
In this coming period of national

acting as a faithful soldier In the Lord's
army, and not as a greedy camp-foilower
clutching at gain, or as a waster of God's
gifts, wantoning in luxury.
Receipts of the A. B. C. F. M.
The following statement respecting
the steady increase of the receipts of the
American Board of Missions, is most
encouraging. It is taken from the Missionary Herald from November. By a
special effort, last year's debt of $.14,-632 had been lifted, bringing up the
years receipts to $742,602. Total expenditures for the year were $62.",970,
involving distressing reductions in the
various missions. With the present
prospect of better times, an increase of
receipts seems probable.
Our own history speaks to us once
more. "The orb of Christian work
revolves," some one has said, "and
carries nights and seasons as the year
does." With a somewhat noticeable
regularity the dark days have been seen
in our history of finance, and then the
receipts have risen to a higher plane,
not to go back again. The false prophets of 1837 saw the end of our increasing
receipts; again they were on hand in
1857; nor did tney forget their message
in 1873, and we have heard their venerable words to day. We follow the decades
of history and our inspired faith expects
another advance as this century shall go
out, if we are to keep step with the
divine leadings.

We have passed six years into the
ninth decade to find another advance,
the average being $754,828. This spirit
of missionary zeal is kindled at just the
time of its greatest need. We cannot
withhold the feeling that this is the time
for another advance in which all the
churches shall be enlisted. If it is true
that we have reached the maximum of
receipts, then we have a task from which
the host of heaven may well shrink.
The spirit of missions, the promise of
Christ, the providences of God are all
against a policy of retreat.

year now closed. Though the eldest of
our own two children was severely
afflicted with the dysentery, his life has
been spared, which calls for our devout
gratitude.
Soon after last years' general meeting,
the king and chiefs visited Oahu, and
while here, we had at their suggestion,
an examination of our school. This
was June 18, 1811, and the same day,
we had a feast provided by the Governor
Kekuanaoa, at which Capt. Hudson,
with the kings and chiefs, and some of
our brethren and sisters of this station
were present. The whole exercises of
the day were extremely pleasant, especially to the parents of our scholars.
The king, though he had heard many
reports detrimental to the school, appeared much pleased with what he saw
and heard on that day.
As our school had been laid aside for
several days during our general meeting,
we had no vacation after this examination. We have had none since, till
within the last foui or five weeks, during
which time we have been absent to Maui.
The expenses of our school the past
year have been sustained by the king
and chiefs. We have always taken our
meals with the children, of such as was
provided. Sometimes the provision was
scarce, and at such times we have
supplied from our own resources. We
think we have furnished to such an
amount as to equal what we have
received. Direct presents from the
chiefs we have received none.
Health and Sickness. —The day after
our examination, Moses, our eldest boy,
fell from a horse and broke the radius of
his left arm. In February one of the
small boys was severely afflicted with a
dysentery. Soon after, one of our girls
was affected with the pleurisy, and was
an invalid for a month. With the exception of the above cases of sickness,
the general health of our family has
been very icmarkable.

scholars united with a children's Temperance society which excluded tobacco.
Visit to Maui.— At the earnest wish
of the king and chiefs, we have made a
visit to Maui, not however without being
first assured that we should be provided
with accommodations similar to those
enjoyed at Honolulu, and knowing for
a certainty that there had-been a general
alteration among the chiefs for the better.
Though we did not think there would
be any cessation to our labors by going
with all our family to Maui, yet we
thought there would be some change at
least, and that this might operate favorably both on us and our scholars. We
left home Wednesday morning, April
20, in the Paalua, and reached Maui
Friday morning about daylight. As we
had the vessel to ourselves the voyage
was tolerable, though we suffered much
from seasickness. Perhaps we cannot

com'- out with a double canoe to carry
us to the shore. There we met with the
king and the remaining chiefs. Some of
the high chiefs made immediate preparations for our breakfast—provided a
long table, and filled it with such food
and such variety as would suit almost
any one's palate. And when we were
seated—the king and Auhea sitting with
us -they served as waiters, using a
kahili with much more activity than s
common native, and appeared more
pleased with the privilege of serving
than of being served. It reminded us
of what we had heard of ancient Hawaiian hospitality, when Kaahumanu used
the kahili to brush away the flies from
Nahienaena. After breakfast we were
conducted to the large two story dwelling of Hoapili near the meeting-house,
which had been previously fitted up for
us, and of which we took possession,
and kept it until we were ready to return,
which was about four weeks. The
tendency of such respect shown to the
children, was to lift them up and render
them rebellious. But our fears were
not realized, though at times they felt
uneasy under restraint. The children

W. A. Bowen, who has been active
in the affairs of the church since the
beginning, spoke as follows:
"Although it is the regular custom in
this mission to take up a collection, yet
it is hoped that the collection at the time
of this dedicatory service may be of
unusual amount and character. It is
naturally suggested by the IMStipplied
needs, as just named by Mr. Cooke, for
the Building Committee, in turning over
this new building for the uses of the
Portuguese mission, to Pastor Soares,
Superintendent under the Hawaiian
Board.
"It must be remembered this movement was not for the building of a church
alone, but for the increasing of our
opportunity for usefulness in secular
instruction as well. Therefore, the need
may be briefly stated as follows: To
complete the payment of outstanding
bills for the erection of this building
will require $1,000, and to provide for
insurance, fencing and the changing of

room in which to grow.

He asks for no change or extension of

On the 1 4th, the President and Cabinet
held an important conference upon the

Messrs. L. A. Thurston and John W.

Emerson,
The Editor of this page is grateful for
the respite he has enjoyed from work.
He is sure that it is good to he away
awhile from one's work, to he ahle to
look at it from a distance, see it in its
proper perspective, and so think about it
in a different way, but it is also good,
after having had the far view, to come
back to it, to be again St close range,
with the advantage of rest and travel.
We hear that the Kauai Minister's
Institute is to hold its first meeting
Tuesday, the Ist of December. On the
same island on the 15th of November,
Mi. Isaiah Kaauwai was ordained and
installed as pastor at Kapaa. He comes
into the ministry after years of careful
preparation at the North Pacific Missionary Institute. He is a man of much
■tiirdiness of character, and one from
whom we expect good work.
On November '.:9th Rev. G. L. Kopa
was ordained as pastor of the church at
Waimea, Kauai. He has already served
a Long pastorate there and achieved the
bringing together of a church. Much
credit is due him as a patient and pain
staking minister. Rev. S. Kaili has
been settled at Hanalei, Kauai, and still
Mr. Lydgate writes for two more men,
one for Koloa, and the other for Lihue.
After nearly three years of service in
connection with our Board, Messrs. S.
Kaiul.t and K. Kguchi have returned to
Japan, their native land. Mr. Kguchi
goes to care for his aged father who is
ill. Mr. Kanda expects soon to return
and renew his work at Kohala. He has
shown himself to bean able and a faithful missionary to his people in that
district, and is much respected by the
white residents who have given him his
support. He has had the pleasure of
seeing a chapel built for the congregaIt is said that he
tion he has collected.
himself has assumed the debt of $200
which remains on It. If so, he ought in
time to be reimbursed.
During his stay at Makaweli, Mr.
Kguchi has done good work. He has
established two Sunday services and two
week day evening schools for the Japan
ese. The attendance at the meetings
have averaged about twenty-five, the
baptisms have numbered eighteen. He
returns to Japan with our sincere respect.
Mr. T. Yamazaki of Lihue, the onlyother Japanese evangelist on Kauai,
will now add the Makaweli perish to
his own.
The Key. J. Waiamau, pastor of Kaumakapili Church of this city, was taken
quite seriously ill last Monday, Nov.
2Sld. The attack was of a paralytic
nature, but fortunately not so severe but
that the doctor expects his reasonable
recovery. Mr, Waiamau is easily the
Nestm of the Hawaiian pulpit. He is a
man of much ability anil soundness ot
judgment. His counsels have more
than once prevailed in the conferences
of the churches at times when there was
great need of wisdom. He belongs in
that sturdy group of men whom father
Alexander trained for the Hawaiian
pulpit, to which such men as Kek.ihuna,
Nawahine, and Manase belong. As a
loyal supporter of thepresent government
he has encountered the ill will of a portion
ol his people. ThtS has been an embarrassment to him in his work and he
has of late suffered from a lack of hearty
support. It is said that at least SMIO
are due him on his salary. Dauhtless
these troubles have weighed heavily
upon him. Indeed we have known him
at times to be in actual need of the
necessaries of life. While giving our
sympathy it is a time when friendly aid
should not be withheld from him and
when all his tines should be paid.
The North Pacific Missionary Institute
Again.
Last month this page was taken up
by an earnest appeal from the pen of
Mr. Leadingham in the interest of the
North Pacific Missionary Institutemore teachers were called for and also
an endownment fund. The much needed
endowment has not yet been secured,
but the te.icher has. Rev. O. H. Gulick
of the Japanese mission has been asked
to take a class, and he has consented to
do so. It is understood that his department will be Old Testament history and
exegesis with probably a little theology
thrown in. We congratulatethe school on
this addition to its faculty. In such a
school as this, the individuality of the
teacher counts for a great deal. He is
a religious guide, where not only learning, hut goodness is needed; where the
power of a holy example goes further
than the acuteness of a brilliant mind.
Pupils need to get into touch with their
teachers and feel the strength of their
characters. They need close, wise
counsels. It was thus the missionary
fathers trained some of the best men of
the Hawaiian pulpit. Mr. Bicknell's
most potent influence was a personal
one. With his thorough understanding
of the nature and language of the Ha
waiians, his apt knowledge of the Bible
and sanctified common sense, we believe
that Mr. Gulick is peculiarly fitted to
instruct the students of the Institute.-
95
Wilh Parker, the Robertson of the Ha
waiian pulpit, as the lecturer on sermonising, and L—dinghsni the instructor in
English and general guide of the Hawaiians into its religious wealth, and
now Gulick, Dr. Hyde must feel that
he is well supported The valuable service which for years he has rendered
this Institute, ought long ago to have
been thus supplemented. It but remains
to secure the aid of Dr. Hingham as
lecturer on missions, and that of the
leading native pastors in the delivery of
lectures on special subjects, to make the
entire curriculum of ihe school very
attractive and complete.
That Old Leak.
The following letter from Capt. Garland to Mr. P. C. Jones, chairman of the
Morning Star Committee, and dated
Hutaritari, July 1 fith, gives the latest
news from Micronesia and from the
"Star."
"Dear Sir: We arrived here yesterday
morning, eighteen days from Honolulu.
We find Mr. Walkup here, he having
just arrived from a trip through the
group. He reports the outlook brightening for mission work.
Dancing is on
the wane at this island. The king has
abolished it altogether. The Star leaks
more than ever. The first few days out
we had a strong wind and a rough sea
and were obliged to pump full)' six
hours out of the twenty four. As the
sea got smoother the leak lessened,
until now it is about as at the last
voyage.
"When we get back from Ruk to
Kusaie, most of the cargo will be out.
I shall then probably get the stern out
on a sand bank and look again for the
leak. By going into the shaft alley as
far aft as we can get, we can hear a
stream of water running in. It sounds
large. It is so near the stern post we
cannot tell on which side it is. As the
stern comes out of the water we hope to
be able to locate the leak; otherwise all
is going well with us.
Yours truly,
Geo. F. Garland.
Ewa Plantation is about to occupy
1300 acres more of upland, partly above
its present fields in the east part of Honouliuli, and partly in Waimanalo on the
western side. In order to irrigate the
new acreage, twelve new artesian wells
with powerful pumps are to be located a
quarter of a mile further up than any oi
the present wells. For the purpose of
making this enlargement, $260,000 moTe
of the Stock is to be issued and paid for
at par, making the whole capital $1,000

Future City Extension.
During
course of city extension has mainly been
eastward towanls Punahou, and up the
slopes of Punchbowl. There is still a
large amount of vacant space in that
direction, although every section therehas now been invaded by new dwellings.
There are nearer the center considerable sections still untouceed. The iarg
est and best of these is the tract lying
between Liliha Street and the Insane
Asylum, which is as yet an unbroken
stretch of taro patches of perhaps 150
acres. A continuation across this tract,
at some not distant future, >f Vineyard,
School an,l Kuakini Streets, will open a
region of very desirable building ground,
fanned by the breeze from Nuuanu Valley, which is much cooler than that over
the eastern or Waikiki side of the city.
Within the above designated sections
east and north from the Post Office,
,more than twice the present population
of the city can be accommodated without crowding. We may safely predict
that within 25 years the space will all
be needed. Doubtless an extended
system of city railway will then ramifyto all portions thereof. Due provisions
for light and water supply with sewerage,
will also be made. There will be abundance of work for a strong municipal
government. The external change in
the city will be great, yet less than
during the past twenty years.
Letter From Rev. Arthur H. Smith.
Pang Chaung, Shantung, China, |
October 25th, 189G. ,
Key. S. B. Bishop, D.D.
Pear Sir: —I think it is just about a
year since I wrote you soon after my
return to China, and I am reminded of
the islands and their interests by the
recent arrival of the report of the Hawaiian Hoard, as well as that of the
"Cousins' Society." The Corresponding
Secretary encloses a slip in the latter
wanting to know whether the reports are
received regularly, and appends the
singular interrogation, 'would you prefer not to have them sent any longer ?'
Of course I cannot speak for the genuine
blue blood bred-in-the-bone cousins, but
being only an appendix and an accidental afterthought, 1 should be glad to
have my copy continued —thank you, if
it were only for the tender and graceful
notices of the various members living
and dead, this time from the loving pen
of •L. B. C
It is a strange contradiction of modern
scientific dicta as to the survival of the
most fit, that a society such as this,
which is doing more good to the square
inch than almost any other of which
I happen to have any knowledge, is
always in an attitude of interrogation as
and while there was no particular bright
spot at any one point, there was a feeling abroad that China must in some way
benefit by so vast and so humiliating a
snub from littlejapan. Theswortlfish had
demolished the whale, which was only
allowed to go into business again because it was necessary to have so large
an oil producer kept out of the general
market. A year has passed, full of uneasiness, as is the modern lot of all
empires, kingdoms, yea, and Republics
Hawaii possibly excepted and we are
no nearer to any definite solution of the
Chinese problem than we were at the
close of the war. China lacks manythings, but she has an over supply ot
that 'dumb stupidity' against which
according to Schiller, even the Gods are
powerless. For thirty years she has
been playing off one country against
another, and with a fine ignoring of the
most significant lessons of modem
organization and progress, the 'Powers'
have failed to cooperate, anil so at this
end of the Asiatic continent as at the
other, the balance of power has been
with the weakest. Meanwhile the slow
but deadly Russian bear creeps ever
southward, and it has come to be generally understood that the only reason whyhe refrains from slicing bits of China
here and there, is because he expects not
long hence to get the whole of the
northern part! If the English press in
China is to be believed, English influence is on tbe wane in the east. But
there are still those who darkly intimate
that the only object Great Britain has in
getting its nose between the teeth of her
enemy, is that thereby there may be
got the better leverage to hurl him to
the earth !
From the missionary point of view
the past year has been a prosperous one
in all the missions of which we happen
to hear. Large and helpful conventions
have been held in the interest of Christian endeavor, and also of the studentvolunteer movement, in Shanghai, Foochow, Chefoo, Tientsin and Peking.
The attendance of native preachers and
members to whom this is an entire
novelty has been large, and the effect
has been most stimulating in many ways.
It would seem that the age of conventions has now arrived in China, by which
many and important results must be
brought about.
In our little station, where we have
but two preaching missionaries, a doctor
and three single ladies, we have had
considerable expansion, and good promise of more 1 think about sixty have
been baptized since the Ist of January,
and twice as many received on a probation—like that of our Methodist friends
—which is never less than six months,
and may extend to years. But more
important than this we reckon the
—
—
within six months, and in each case
with unwonted promise of speedily getting a wide and favorable hearing. The
board has been obliged to reduce our appropriations, bvt we have ventured to
launch out into the deeper waters, trusting that the Lord will show us a way to
keep his work alive, so far as it is ours
so to do.
I cherish the memory of the few
months spent in ihe Hawaiian Islands,
as among the most enjoyable of my life.
I believe there are no better people to be
found on the planet than theie, and that
a large part of the planet has been directly or indirectly benefitted by them.
Very Sincerely Yours,
Aktiu'K H. Smith.
