It was \ei\ generally above quoted. In so doing, it deeplj observed in this city. The three Foreign Evangelical churches united in meeting at Central Union Church, where an excellent and appropriate sermon was preached by the Rev. (i. L.

We rejoice that Conference has stationed so able a man in Honolulu, a city well win thy of their best efforts. The past year has been one of great material prosperity in Hawaii, free from pestilence or political disquiet. While afflictions have visited many households, some ol them sorely, the great majority have been favored with unusual exemp. tion. Works of benevolence and Chris tian evangelization have worthily pro greased. It befits us to render earnest thanks to the Bountiful Giver, not only with voices of praise but with lives more wholly consecrated to (iod's service. grieves and wounds the great body ol Christ's disciples. This denial is carried so far that many Congregational ministers, in the administration of the Lord's Supper, so tamper with the ordinance, that in presenting the Cup. they boldly omit the consecrating words of the Lord Jesus. "This cup is the new covenant in my blond." I Corinthians 11:2ft. To these emuists "Atoning blood" seems to he an offense. This feature of the "New Theology" is nit new. It was prominent in the old Unitarian schism. It robs the Old Religion of its strongest weapon of converting power. The Expiatory Sacrifice of Christ. Lord's Atoning Sacrifice is not of Theological Theory; it is a Revelation for the Christian's faith to lay hold of and find in it a blessed assurance of the Father's forgiving mercy, sealed to every penitent and believing worshipold Religion and New Theology. per by the Sacrifice of the Lamb whom central feature of Ancient Christian He has appointed to bear and take away y as held semper, ulut/itc, et omnibus, our sins. Schemes of Theodicy and theories have followed one • as been faith in the atoning power of Thi-oliH'ical tA Our matter All\* V .Sfc.l**.* ■■w ■ v ssrstvs*. fold moral power to the human heart. It fust testifies to God's deep abhorrence of sin, and his profound s< nse ol its evil and deadly nature. The great sacrifice appointed in expiation tells us that sin is no triile, mi mi-re incident ol human ignorance and infirmity. It is dark guilt, ,uul means death. It must be renounced and repented of. By the greal Atoning Sacrifice, the Holy God stamps all sin as the darkand evil thing which he abhors. Hut "ii the other hand in the same sacrifice the pitying Father declares and seals the plenitude and tenderness ol Ins forgiving mercy to all who come repentmg. He himself has found the ransom. He has provided an Atoning Lamb, his blessed Son Jesus Christ who died oil the cross to expiate human sin. Although our erring thoughts and feeble understandings fail to give full rational account of these deep things ol God, which transcend all human thinking, yet these two greal facts stand forth in a blaze of light shining from the cross; that all sin is deadly and ill deserving: and yet that the Father is abundant in mercy, and able to forgive to the utteimost. Not to discern these two great truths is a fatal loss to men. Not to see them in the lull light winch the Cross shells upon them is a sad defect in our Religion. And this is the great defect of the New Theology, that it ignores the Expiatory sacrifice of Christ with its transcendent power to convict of sin, and win to the Divine foregiveness. A Religion that meets thecleepest soulneeds of sinning and suffering man, must combine with its bright rays of Divine mercy and Fatherhood, a clear recognition of the stern and terrible facts which the Divine Rule encounters, and which fill the world with misery and shame. The children whom God has made have �mutinied against him. Foul and lying pirate rule has been established HVel them. God and Sit.m are in conflict. This bitter wai cannot bt su! dm d and sweet peace still ll"- .stmiii, Ia mere proclamation ol mercy. In recoil iling rebellious man, both the Divine nature and man's own nature, alike outraged, need the expiating sacrifice of the Lamb of God. This old religion will stand against all weak vagaries ofnew theology. Christian Work in Japan. Recovery. . THE FRIEND. 92 Relapse and de, RC.ByM.ev.HD.D. Among the strange incidents in connection with Christian work in Japan, the relapse into iinbeli, I and immorality in the case of some parties, once active and earnest in aggressive work on the evangelical basis, has been as strange and unaccountable as a factor in the history of Christian missions, as was their original xcal and success. The Kunianioto band ol Inly young men, who forswore tben ancestral faith and bound themselves by solemn oath to laloyal to the principles of the Gospel and to JesuS Christ in the establishment of His Kingdom of truth and righteousness and love, gave an impetus to the woik of the Doshisha, due largely to theii enthusiasm and vigor. Some ol them are prominent today it, connection with the changes that havi been made in the administration and the ideals of that institution. They claim that they aie carrying out the aim and purpose "I Joseph Neesima, its foundei and bead, "a free school for a free chinch." They interpret this phrase, in accordanci with modern liberalism, to mean the rejec Hon of all limitations and restraints in the adoption and promulgation ol opin ions. But tin-)' have in.tile tin miataki of all that school of thinkei s in confound ing opinions and truths. Tiuths are eternal and unchangeable, like the sun ; opinions are evanescent and iridescent, like the Colors of sunset skies, ami yet even such evanescent and iridescent phenomena come and go in accordance with the operation ol fixed laws. From such mercurial and tickle people as the Japanese, we may expect just such unstable and unreasonable actions. But these actions are none the less strange and disappointing. In the deepening ol the spiritual life, as Providential experi ences come and go, these phases ot the development and growth of Christianity will pass away, like the sell" limited diseases of childhood. The progress of humanity is a spiral curve and not a straight line, receding and recurring, but if from right motives and good impulses, never back to the identical [December, 1897.

So understanding ihe burden ■•( the Gospel message, as the Loitl Jesus Christ and bis apostles have clearly declared it, the missionary to Jap n ol China seems to have no occasion for doubt whethei the Gospel he preaches is to supersede llu. old religions, or merely to supplement them.

I often recall Ihe. remark of a ministerial friend: "I believe, as a matter of principle, in foreign missions; but as to m.titers of administration I often have grave doubts." The question of methods is olten as important as the question ol aim and object. To do a needful work in a bungling way is to invite defeat and disaster. We are accustomed to criticise freely every individual 01 public enterprise, and missionaries can not, lor any reason of supposed finer motives and spun, expect exemption from such criticism. All who are in public life must expect it as a matter ol course, and accept it as part of the need ful discipline of lile. We arc, all of us, in tins earthly life at school, and when we expect happiness as the result ol ell Ht or grace, what we leally get is principle. If we find a true friend, anil think we are now sure ol the anticipated happiness, even friendship at ils best is only anotliei added discipline. But liom all the stones I he.ii, as well as liom my own experience, 1 think that missionaries, as a class, have quite as mc-ch ol life's discipline in ihe way ol criticism as any other class. 1 here is this added blessedness, that they are treated very often with insolence and contumely, and .tic expected to show under such treatment what is called a Chiist bkc spirit, meekness and submissivencss, n.. sense of injury done, still less any readiness to retaliate. ll what I may write in regard to the methods of Chri.tisn work in Japan may seem strange and unexpected, it should be remembered ihat 1 hive had an inside view of missionary life and work, and do not write from any merely superficial observation. being herded by wolves in sheep's cloth ihg, It is a great pit)- that the L rd's work should be made to suffer by the carping jealousy of such Workers who would have no work done for the Master unless by members of their guild. I notice the remark made in some criticisms of missionary work by some ol the rationalizing writers in the Japanese press, that if Christianity had been presented in a more rational form to the Japanese mind, it would have met with more general acceptance. Some rsf the many visitors from Christian churches in other lands do not scruple to make disparaging remarks about "the narrowminded" missionaries. It has been my privilege to meet scores of the missionary workers in my brief sojourn. The impression made upon me as I saw a hundred or more of them together in one assembly was this, th .t they were fair representatives of the Christian churches of western lands. They were not picked specimens, but what you would call "an average lot." There were cranks, and there were stupids; there were also born leaders of men, men of executive and organizing ability, men of wide intelligence, far reaching thought, weighty and sententious ut Christendom has not -cut teranee. selected spirits for its aggressive work in this abode of as ancient a civilization as is to be found in these modern days. But Ihe work of the world and the work of the church is to be done by common place men and women, lor the most part; and in carrying forward the work of the church, as in the history of the world, the spirit of God uses every day agencies and instrumentalities, and raises up special agents tor special emergencies. There are specialists here who have found their own paiticular line of work, and are doing it well. One sows and another leaps in Christian work: "To each man Ins work," "as the duty of the day requires;" and so Christ's Kingdom of Truth and Holiness marches on to the conquest of this world for Christ, slowly to our impatient desire, but surely after the counsel of Him who is wonderful in working and hasteth not, for all time is His, neither resteth for weari- I find missionaries from twenty seven ditleiciit organizations, besides some ness. independent missionaries, at work in As to the influence that Christianit) Japan. At first sight the number would is now exerting in the Japanese national seem distracting, but when it is rcmem life and character, it is acknowledged bered that thcie are forty millions of that the radical change wnich is needed people in Japan, very few ol whom have even been touched by Gospel light, these denominational distinctions do not nee essarily involve any distinction in the work. Most of the larger organizations work together in perfect harmoii) in fields that are not only far separated, but are also worketl on different lines. Ihere are some unpleasant exceptions in those Christians who claim to be the Lord's "peculiar people," and would overthrow the faith of some weak believ ers by telling them they are not in the true fold of the Good Shepherd, but are in Japanese civilization can come only from the spread of gospel truth. But it must be remembered that while conversion is instantaneous, and the change in our relations to God is the work of a moment, the change of controiing ideas and habits in individuals and social life is the work of time and of providential discipline. The essence of all sin is selfishness, and self-will is not eradicated at once, if it is deposed. It was an easy matter, comparatively, to set aside the rule of the Shogun and to set up this Japanese government on the new [November, 1897 b.tsis of a constitutional monarchy, but the Japar.eSs are still wrestling with problems the\- never confronted before and are floundering along with many mistakes in policy and method. But the leaven of individualism is at work in the whole social life, and the days til absolutism and misrule are things of the past. Leading Japanese themselves acknowledge that the hope of real reform lies in the principles of the Gospel, but they fear it will prove too weak for the task, as Shintoism and Buddhism evidently are. They have yet to learn its divine origin and conformity to the divine woikings in the material universe and the history of mankind. They want to project themselves and their own ideas into God's work, and to claim the glory for themselves, just as they employ architects and engineers Irom abroad, and when their woik is nearly finished dismiss them, put some Japanese in charge and claim the finished work as a proof of Japanese skill. That is really what is meant by this claim for a Japanese Christianity, of which we hear so often, but of which we can never get a clear statement as to its charactei and validity. It must be Jap anese, however. Just here is the chief weakness of Japan, an intense self conceit; and that patriotism, of which we are told there is an utter absence in Christian teaching, is, much of it, only an exrggerated vanity. It is self conceit magnified and reduplicated, as one's individual face is in those mirrors that have a multitude of faces. True patriotism, as 1 understand it, is not sell exaltation in this intensified form of national spirit, but the purpose and the endeavor to help onward and upward the life of the community by making each individual life most serviceable for God and for humanity. Paul was justly proud that he was "a citizen of no mean city:" he claimed for himself the privileges that belonged to his Roman citizenship, and resented injustice and injury in violation of his civil rights. He was a "Hebrew of the Hebrews," of the tribe of Benjamin that gave the first king to Israel. He was an Israelite, first and always; but no Israelite in his view had a right to keep to himself or claim as his own what was meant for mankind. It is this exaggerated "selfhood" that largely interferes just now with the rapid spread of Gospel principles and of the Gospel spirit among the churches and people of Japan, that was characteristic of the work a little while ago. The endeavor to make the churches independent and to inculcate the idea of self suppoi t, was a move in the right direction; but the phraseology was infelicitous. The Japanese aie very much as we used to be in early childhood, when we set up our wills against our elders to show that we had a will of our own; very much, too, as we learn there �Vol. 55, No. 11.] is an external world by its resistance to our physical organism. The nation is acting very much in the same way in this matter of treaty relations. The revised treaties were signed under the supposition that Japan had framed a new civil code on the basis of the fundamental ideas of western civilization. Now the code, then adopted, is under going "revision in charge of a commit tee who propose to alter its objectionable foreign features, and to makt it conform more closely to the immemorial customs of the Japanese people. It is with great anxiety that the foreign residents of Japan look forward to the date when they are to come as absolutely under Japanese rule as the people of the land. If "support of the pastor" had been the phraseology used, instead of "selfsupport," the issue would have been squarely joined. Now, the young pastors of "self supporting" churches are being frozen out of their pastoral olfice by the "independent" clubs, that these churches have become, and that propose to take the management of affairs into their own hands, leaving the "minister out in the cold" to shirk for himself. Not until the churches realize that "they are not their own," but organizations through which spiritual life is to be sustained and reproduced in accordance with ordinances of divine appointment through which both pastor and people must act, will the Christian churches of Japan fulfill their high calling in ministering to the spiritual life of this greit nation. The Gospel is the one remedy adapted to man's needs; but if a man does not feel his need of it, it is to him unreal and unnecessary. Spiritual life is not yet characteristic of Japanese Christians. It is a matter of experience and of growth, nurtured by keeping the soul in daily contact with God's truth, and deepened only as that truth penetrates deeper and deeper into the mind and heart and life. In church life, as in daily life, this "selfhood" of the Japanese in their present boyhood stage, makes itself felt If the butcher does not send a suitable piece of meat, and it is sent back, you get no more meat from him. If you keep your own jinrikisha man, you are boycotted at the jinrikisha stand, and cannot get one of the men to take you anywhere. If a missionary does not quietly submit to rebukes and rebuffs from those whom hi is doing his best to help and guide, he is denounced as acting unworthy of bis Christian profession. These petty annoyances, often repeated, are like "being bitten to death by minnows." Rudyard Kipling has expressed the great need of patience in dealing with such people as the Japanese, who show so much that is full of interest and encouragement in their character and condition, so much that is annoying and disheartening in personal experience and unfulfilled expectations: 85 THE FRIEND "It is not good for the Christian's health to hustle the Aryan brown; l-'or the l hristian riles and the Aryan smiles, and he weareth the Christian d wn: Ami the end uf the fight is a tombstone white, with the name of the late deceased.

Here, in Osaki, I find a somewhat different condition ol affairs, The work of the A. B. C. 1"\ M. here was begun before that in Kyoto and the Doshisha. Rev. Mr. Leavitt, one of the missionaries, was an ardent advocate of Selfsupporting Churches. There are now One of four such Churches here. them has a hospital in connection with it- The four are united in the support of a Gills' Boarding School, which at one time bail 400 pupils, now Ml. 'Ihe school buildings were erected by the Japanese members of these Churches. A separate building, a residence for the two foreign teachers was put up by a grant of |2,00fl from the Woman's Board of Missions. The Trustees, who have the management of the school are Japanese, and the pastor of one of the Osaka Churches is President of the Board of Trustees. He is an earnest devoted Christian worker, and emphasizes the duty of individual service in this conduct ol church affairs. But his predecessor, originally a man of similar spirit, and exemplary piety, alter his return from a visit to the States, conceived the idea that there ought to be a College for Girls, like Vassal, Smith, YVellesley. He tried to make this school In over into such a big institution. order to this, he tried to eliminate the evangelical idea, and substitute the ethical. He did not succeed, and under his management the school lost its former standard in discipline, and its prestige as a safe place for the education of Japanese girls. He has now retired from the management, but is pressing his idea of the need of such a school as he advocates, where Shinto parents or Buddhist parents may be assured that their daughters' ancestral faith will not be undermined or changed. He is an enthusiastic man, has the confidence of wealthy Japanese merchants, and nobles, and has secured subscriptions, I am told, amountiag to $ 100,000, to establish such an institution. Land has been bought on high ground near the castle, but more funds are needed to carry out Such facts as these in the project. regard to the Doshisha, and the Osaka Seminar), may serve to show something of the present condition of missionary work in Japan. respects to the By Rev. C. M. Hvde, D. D. We visited in Kyoto Rev. Dr. Learned, formerly one of the Professors in the Doshisha University. It was wonderful how that Institution grew and what a wide influence itexerted. It isjust as wonderful that it should have been so sum marily taken out of the management of those who had built it up, with funds given for this specific purpose, and put upon a different basis entirely in its scope and aim. It is sad to see the buildings once crowded with students, now rapidly dilapidating, and the number of instructors and students diminishing year by year. But one cannot be long in Japan without seeing how much influence for evil the war with China has had. Mill tarism is rife. Nationalism is the craze of the moment. So it is not to be wondered at that in the flush of military and naval success a few years ago, the Japanese over estimated themselves and imagined themselves unaided able to cope with all the powers and problems of the times. Foreign influences were minimized; foreign ways discarded; foreign teachers sent adrift. So the Do shisha suffered, more than the other schools, because more conspicuoas anil potential than they. It is easy to over throw and destroy; the devil is all the while busy at this work. But creative power is unique; the construction of society, and the developm«nt of institutions, proceed by slow processes generally, laborious not to say tedious. A reaction has set in, but the refluent tide at first has a hardly perceptible move ment. The property question in regard to the Doshisha could be easily managed if the moral attitude involved were only what it should be. The new President of the Doshisha in his inaugural address says, that it stands for individualism, cosmopolitanism, nationalism. These may be desirable objects, but they are far from that great ohjecf of evangelical Christianity, that was so emphasized by Joseph Neesima, whose name has been so honored in connection with the origin and progress of the Doshisha. Under the Shogunate, it was the policy of the governing powers to rule Formidable by astute management. Daimios, whose growing influence was feared, had their revenues lessened by must be taught and advocated. �86 B. THE FRIEND Fay Mills and Mr. Rader. The Rev. William Rader writes to The Pacific, respecting a declaration by the Rev. B. Fay Mills, that "I would not dogmatize either in affirmation or denial concerning the scriptures, the supernatural character and work of Jesus, or the mysteries of the world to come." Mr. Rader adds the sin prising statement, that "I have recently attended the examination of a young clergyman who made substantially the same doctri nal confession, and a council of Congregregational clergymen installed him without a dissenting voice." The Pacific cannot be thought to believe that a pastor should be installed over an Evan gehcal church, who has no settled opinion respecting the "supernatural character and work of Jesus," or con r.erning the authority of the scriptures. Hitherto we have not sympathized in the attacks of the Occident upon Mr. Rader. But in the above avowal, he seems to give his opponents much advantage. The Cungregationalist which repre sents New lingland Congregationalism, writes as follows of Mr. Mills' relations to the Presbyterian and Congregational churches: "He has, by his own statement, lost faith in the truths which to them are most vital. If he has nothing to aftitni or deny "concerning the Scriptures, the supernatural chsraclerand work of Jesus, or the mysteries ol tlie world to come,' he Certainly cannot represent those denu min.itions as a Christian minister." i: * "If we understand historic antl present Congregationalism, it finds its lite in these things, ami the revealed truths Concerning them are the gospel it pro claims."

Dr. Savage may speak for Unitarian ism but we are not alarmed when he discounts an evangelicism with which he is not personally acquainted —A'. 1 . . , guns. In conclusion Mr. Thurston says: "The days has gone by when the United States can ignore its interna tiiui.il obligations and privileges, Whe tbei it will or not, the logic of events is forcing the great American people to t.ike their place as one of the great 'international nations,' and incidentally thereto to adopt such means as are necessary to sustain the position."— Ua:. ■mail Star.

Now, as so often occurs, the Treasury of the Hawaiian Board is in a depleted condition, nearly (1000 in debt, with current expenditures, going on in its great work. The 'Treasurer asks 'The Friend to put forth the call for help. Now is the time for our tegular and generous donors to send in their liberal contributions—and if you have had some good dividends, take thereof a little extra sum and put the treasury somewhat ahead. 'The Hawaiian Board is fortunate in having the support of a noble body of enlightened men of true public spirit, and loyalty to the Work of the Kingdom of Christ, who count no investment so good as one wisely applied to making Hawaii the great center of Christian light in the Pacific, witnessing for purity, righteousness, and faith. Hawaiian Destiny in the Pacific. The annexation of Hawaii is urged upon the United States by tbe obvious fact that the power which possesses this group and its splendid Pearl Harbor thereby becomes endowed with a con trolling influence over the commerce of That commerce the North Pacific. make Honolulu compelled is to which bold this controlling position. Added to this is tbe still more urgent fact that an enemy in possession of Hawaii, will thereby be in striking distance of all the chief seaports of the Pacific Coast, and enabled to annihilate its commerce, whereas the possession ol the group by tbe United States will make it impossible for an enemy to come with in an effective distance. These facts are sufficiently plain, and doubtless will determine Congress promptly to annex these Islands and hold this great naval and military strategic point in firm grasp. There is, however, a broader view to be taken, of vital interest not only to America, but also to the civilized world. Hawaii is the final outpost of Occidental Civilisation in the Western Hemisphere. It immediately confronts the inferior but tenacious civilization of the Orient. Here the two forms meet and grapple, and the Western is in imminent danger of being overpowered by the numbers of the Eastern. American missionary and commercial enterprise have redeemed Hawaii from its ancient savagery and poverty. They have created here a resplendent civilization which clothes and beautifies the land with churches,schools, lovely homes, marts of trade, mighty mills, lines of steamers and railways, and an opulent population, with a higher average wage for labor than elsewhere in the world. A great light of western civilization has been kindled here. A vast power thereof has grown to lusty stature It promises to control and rule the whole Pacific from this central meeting point uf commerce, with the highest civil, social, intellectual and spiritual influences, making for purity, order, justice, and noble enterprise. 'But over against this Occidental civilization a dark threatening cloud has a. risen. With no dubious menace, the powerful empire of Japan is about to pour in upon Hawaii a copious tmmi gration from her swarming millions who will in a few years overwhelm our native and white population and become mas ters of the group. Unless the power of the United States, or of England, inter venes, in from five to ten years Hawaii will inevitably become a Japanese Colony, and our institutions, our Government, and our civilization will cease to be American, and become Japanese. povvei to be little doubt, how America it. This is an issue will decide of worldwide impor- tance. In the presence of such immense interests at stake, how futile and undiscerning is the claim that to the votes of a few thousand kindly and well meaning, but necessarily ignorant Hawaiians, must be submitted the decision of the destinies of this groupwhich their fathers occupied during its ancient isolation, but which is now becoming the (,)ueen of the vast Pacific, and the decisive point of contact betwetn Occident and Orient. Thest natives cannot even see that Japanese civilization with its low wages and ceaseless toil will remand them to poverty and misery. It clearly is not for them to decide in this great issue. It is for them kindly to be cared for, better than they can know. Visit of Halsey Gulick's Children For the past three weeks have been with us two cf the older children of the late Key. Luther Halsey Gulick, D. D., a pioneer missionary to Bonabe from 1863 on, and subsequently the distinguished agent of the American Bible Society in Japan and China. One of these children is Mrs. Harriet Clark for several years missionary in Japan. The other is the talented Key. Sidney Gulick, missionary for seven years in the same field. They are now on their way back to their work, with their families. Mrs. Clark and Mr. Gulick were both born in Bonabe, among the then untaught savages. Their earliest recollections, however, are of life in Honolulu, where their father labored from IH6:. to 1 «70 as the first Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, and where he and Mrs. Gulick founded the girls' Seminary of Kawaiahao. Sidney Gulick has twice preached at Central Union Church with gieat accept ance, once on Mission work in Japan, with attractive and condensed statement. He possesses much of his eminent father's remarkable magnelism in the pulpit, little of his peculiar gift of humor, but with a high mental culture and dis cipline, and much of his deep spirituality. He has made stveral other addresses during his stay. �THK FRIEND 76 First Impressions of Christian Work induce it by teaching or training. Truthin Japan. HMyde., RByC.ev.D.D. There aie many who ridicule the traveller, who tells of his impressions, as he passes through some counlr. he b.is never before visited. But there is a vividness about one's first experiences and observations, that disappears with astonishing quickness. It is curious to note how quickly tbe str.i.ige becomes the familiar. The mind, not kepi alert by novelty, fails to take notice of what comes into the held of vision If first impressions are not made ,1 mattei ol record, lines ol investig.ition are dropped; and important elements of the situation unnoticed give wrong views <>l the wholeIt has been often said that the first work of the missionary should be to study the characteristics of the people for whom he is to labor. I take the first opportunity, in response to a request from the editor of I'm- Friend for a series of letters on Christian Work in Japan, to call attention first to some characteristics of thejapanese people, as these are related to missionary labor. The first question asked of me in reference to our Hawaiian work was whethei our theological students were not easily drawn aside from the work of the minis try into other pursuits. The desire foi change, a restless search for novelty, .is if the new were surely the good, seems to have taken possession of the leading minds in this Japanese nation, Under the old social system, every individual's place and work was strictly defined. The community moved along indistinctly marked grounds. Now Japan is moving, as one ol their writers expresses, it. with the convolutions ot a snake. What the father did, the son was expected to do, What dress a niothei wore, the daughtei was expected to wear; and the cist oi the 061, the hideous hustle every |apan ese woman we,tis on liei back, was strictly limited to the income and social position of the family. But now I am astonished to see how far the national dress is being supplanted by European toggery- There are few Japanese women as yet, who appear in the latest Paris fashion, but men in European attire are to be met everywhere. Some little want of fitness betrays the wearer as mie not to the manner born. The hats are un becoming in color and shape: thi ments are too scanty; the limps ,11. not tucked into the gaiters. Christian character and conduct show a similar lack of congruhy between principle and expression. The Japanese, like the Hawaiians, lack an mined sense of moral obligation. The compel ling force of such English words as ought and duty, are wanting in their moral make up, and it is difficult to fulness is not imperative; and.it I am correctly informed, the Buddhists' Cite chism, 01 what answers to their articles of belief, teaches that any statement made to a person is "tbe truth for him" until he rinds out the contrary. There is the same desnt to make things smooth and easy, underlying all Japanese courtesy that makes the Hawaiians confound the pviiti with the oluolu, tbe light with the Agreeable. Yon must not tell Japanese that they are sinners, that is contrary to all ideas of propriety. But can there be any adequate conception of salvation by Christ Jesus, without some corresponding depth of conviction as to the enormity of sin ? The Japanese need as plain preaching as Key. C. H. Wheeler used to give to his congregation of Orientals on the other side of Asia. "You are all liars, and you know il, except blind old Maisovan over in yonder (inner." But this consciousness ol sin and guilt and ruin, out of Christ, has in-, n developed in some of the Japanese by bringing their souls, face to face, with (.nil's truth. The daily reading of the Bible, as the sight of one's face in a mirror, reveals the true inwardness of the soul's desires: and awakens a desire foi a personality conformed to ih image ol tin Son of God. So, as Christian expei itnce reveals tbe soul's need, Chris- , tian faith appropriates the provision made tor righteousness in tbe redemption that has been wrought through Jesus Christ. When the responsibility for control of me.i ns, and lor leadership of men, is put upon tbe newly Christianized Japanese, n comes upon them as unprepared for such positions of trust and influence as are the Hawaiians. While in a New England home tbe child is trained every nn nt in the exercise of individual resdonsibiljty, and the right use of resources, ihe Sninuriu has had every article of food or dress provided for him by his suzerain, to whom he is to render in return absolutely implicit obedience. It is onh lately that the Japanese theaters have introduced upon the stage different views ni life. 'The old plays largely represented tor popular eflect the glory of such unquestioning loyalty to one's superiors, even to the sacrifice ola woman's maidenhood, or a man's life in hitrakiri. It is the feeling that a man had dared to do all that becomes a man, and gone even beyond it. It is not the heroism of Christian faith, that meets peul with pluck, and defies the devil to tlo his worst, in the assured hope of the ultimate triumph of truth and righteous ness. When a Japanese brother, intrusted with the expenditure of money, in the right use of which he has had no training, heedlessly finds himself a defaulter, he expresses himself very much as a Hawaiian does, "The thing is done, and there's no help for it." The feeling is rather that of shame and mortification (October,1897.) in being caught in such a disgraceful and helpless plight, than the godly sorrow fur sm that leads into the purposes of a better and higher life. The war with China with its demand for the large expenditure of money has had a similar effect upon Japanese life, as did the war ol Secession upon the people of the United States. It has shown how much can be accomplished by money, and now there is a craze for getting money. All sorts of schemes are tried and pushed. While before the war, Japanese young men of ability, if they once secured a governmental position, were unwilling t.i leave it for anything, except employment in connection with Christian missions, which gave them a better insight into life and ■ surer grasp of its elemental forces, now Christian young men, who had entered apon the work of the ministry, are being drawn from it for positions of trust and responsibility in banking and industrial corporations. It is a melancholy fact to be stated in connection with such demission of the sacred office, that, like Lot in choosing Sodom, they are engulfed in n whirl of woildliness, and are lost to the higher claims of God and humanity. Another practical difficulty is presented in the organization of churches, which interferes just now with the aggressive prosecution of advanced Christian work. When a church is organized, it seeks to build up itself. Kvery step is taken, or forward movement is halted, as it bears upon the building up of the church. We have the same difficulty in New England, where some Churches have lost precious opportunities for advance and growth, because they feared some diminution in numbers or in means for their own particular organization. I have come across some traces of the influence of those seekers after truth, who are perpetually seeking, and ever and anon crying out, '-Here's the most advanced thought. Now we have it !" But I see in the newspapers that a group of such stumbling students of scientific certainties are advocating a State Keligion, like that of which the present Emperor of Germany is an advocate. Mr. Furugawa, who is the ablest mind in the ranks of those outside the sphere of Christian influence, in a recent editorial, confesses that the religious element is wanting in himself personally; but believes that religion is necessary for society. He is not particular what religion society shall make a controlling factor in all public functions, any more than he would insist that every person should drink Japan tea rather than China tea. As this is a country where every one drinks tea, the illustration is more pat here, than it would be in Hawaii, where as a matter of patriotic pride we would prefer people to drink our Kona coffee, as a better beverage than either green or black tea. Underlying these difficulties and discouragements in the prosecution of �Vol. 55. No. 10.] Christian work is the sentiment, that has been inbred into the Japanese people. and that disqualifies them for citizenship in a community where the sovereignty of the individual citizen is as cardinal a doctrine as the necessity for training in the exercise of individual responsibility. Japanese pastors, like our Hawaiian pastors, are apt to think of themselves as endued with autocratic power, instead of being inducted into a position of highest responsibility. The democratic character of Christian institutions is surely, if not swiftly, remolding all Japanese society. It is a work that cannot be done without some friction, some disastrous consequence* to indivi duals: but the community is the gainer, whatever loss or harm may come to the few. should naturally turn foi assistance of every kind. 'Through the agency of Anglo-Saxon civilization institutions of progiessivc Civilized government have been estab lishetl here, and it is for tbe benefit of all who dwell in this land that these institutions are maintained. 'The forces which are at work in this ocean, and the aggressive policies of the Government! bordering upon it. make it manifist that these Islands should comeunder the fostering care of some power whose policy will tend to promote its permanent welfare, and such powei in The Hawaiian Senate Ratify the Treaty of Annexation. Mr. Rhodes died at his old.residence on Nuuanu Street, of old age. at the age of 81, on the morning of September Bth. He had resided in the islands since 1846, aftci several years occupied in trading be tween Honolulu and the American Coast. Mr. Rhodes was formerly closely identi fied with political life here, having be, n three times President of the Legislature. Although formerly opposed, he became in later years, identified with the Reform He was honored by all as a Party. gentleman ol integrity and high principle. He was highly esteemed by tin; natives and by all the occupants of the throne. Mr. Rhodes was brother to a prominent family of highly esteemed English ladies formerly residing in Honolulu, uiily one of whom still lives here, the venerable Mrs. 'Thomas Brown, who is the mother of Messrs Godfrey, Cecil and Frank Browu, and of Mrs. Alexan del Mackintosh. Tullrs'e Hart is a hall brother. Mr. Rhodes was buried from the R. C. Cathedral. President Dolewas one ol the pall beau is. In accordance with the summons of the President, the Senate of the Hawaiian Republic convened in Fxtra Session on September Bth, and on the 9th unanimously voted to ratify the Treaty of Annexation now pending in the Senate of the United States. In his message to the Senate, President Dole used the following language: "The grounds for the adoption of this policy on the 17th day of January, A. D. 1893 were, first, the existing local conditions under which the maintenance of stable government was beset with great and increasing difficulties; and the grow ing menace to the small Hawaiian population involved in the impending immi gration, possibly unlimited, of races whose civilization was not in accord with the established institutions of the country. Second -The rapidly develop ing interests of the great naval powers in the Pacific ocean which rendered the permanence of the independent govern ment of the Hawaiian Islands extremelyuncertain. Third —The importance of securing such permanence of relations with the United States as would render possible the development of tbe resources of this country; and fourth—an abiding conviction that it was for the best interests of all of the people of these Islands." The Report of the Special Committee to whom the subject was referred, which report was adopted, employed corresponding language as follows: "The experiences of recent years have shown, that under the changed conditions, which have resulted from circumstances beyond human control, good government cannot be permanently maintained in these islands without aid or assistance from without. And further, from our relations with, and the benefits received, and to be received, our opinion is that the United States of America is the Government to which we must and 77 THE FRIEND Hawaiians as Owners of Real Estate. The just published Census returns disclose the fact that the number of pure Hawaiians owning real estate had increased in six years from '-Vl7 l to 3995, ni -J-J per cent, although, during the same period, that class of our population had decreased lOper cent. lii the same time, the part native owners of real estate had increased from 3M to 722 or 83 per cent, while their own numbers per cent. had Increased our opinion is the United States. l>uiing the same six years tbe l. ),191 This action Completes the measure so Portuguese having multiplied 76 per far as it can he done at this end ol the cent, had increased their real estate holdings 87 per cent, having in all 438, line. oi little more than one-fourth of what Decease of the Hon. Godfrey Rhodes. the Hawaiians possess in proportion to Y. P. S. C. E. Delegates Report. At a large meeting in Kawaiahao Church on the evening of the '-Mth uit.. very animated reports were made by various delegates and others who attended the Christian Endeavor Convention in San Francisco. Mr. I.yle A Dickey presided. The platform and pulpit were handsomely decorated with flags, banners, ferns and Bowers. Reports were read by Miss L. L. Pires, Miss Forbes, Secretary Baer, Miss Mary Ferreira. A. If. Walcott and D. I-. N'aone. Shut addresses were also made by Dr. J. M. Whitney and by Rev. Sidney Gulick. who had made an impressive speech at Many songs were the Convention. sung. r theii i dative numbers. These statistics from the Census furnish an effectual refutation ol the slander so widely repeated in America, that the whites have robbed the natives of their lands. With such robbery the Americans have been especially charged, and particularly the missionaries'sons. The' precise Statistics now show that out of the 633.7 owners of real estate in the Haw,man Islands 1717, or over 74 per cent, are Hawaiians and part Hawaiians, although they form only 37 per cent of tin whole population. It also appears that I 2 per cent of the native Hawaiians own real estate, and that nine per cent own the houses they live in with their families, Allowing five to a family, nearly out: half of the natives live in then own houses. Is not this a much large i percentage of owners of lands and dwellings than can be found in any other country ■ It is true that a majority of the holdings of-the native people are small ones. That has been the case since they became owners of binds fifty years ago. It is also true that tbe great bulk ol valuable real estate is now owned by the whites who purchased it from the Government, or else from the large estates of the old chiefs, who left few heirs. 'The holdings of the common people have been much increased during the past few years under an efficient Homestead purchase system, for whose creation and operation President Dole deserves the chief credit, having labored for it for many years before becoming President. 'The natives and others are now enabled to purchase tracts of government land on extremely easy terms. An official statement appears in the S. F. Call from the Secretary of ex-queen Liliuokalani, denying that she has abandoned hope of her restoration to the throne, or that she has planned with her niece Kaiulani that, failing annexation, the latter shall ascend the throne. Mrs. Dominis is still to the fore. �78 Dr. Jared K. Smith Murdered. A most distressing shock was given Sunday morning in Honolulu to the many loving and admiring iriends of Dr. Smith of Koloa, Kauai, by the intelligence that the "beloved physician" had been shot through the heart in his own door way by an unknown assassin, at 10 p. m. of the 24th. His sister Miss Juliet had returned to her room adjoining and blown out her light. The doctor had partially disrobed, and was writing to his expected bride. A knock came to the door. He asked who was there, and was answered by a cough. He opened the door and was instantly shot down. His sister rushed out in time to see his last gasp, and hear the murderer riding away. Dr. Smith had served for many years at Koloa as Government physician, and was exceptionally esteemed and beloved by natives and foreigners alike, among whom his whole life had been spent in a most disinterested and devoted activity. It was not known that he had an enemy, unless such had been made in the discharge of his duty to the public. He had much impoverished himself for the education of Hawaiian youth by estab lishing and sustaining schools on his island. Dr. Smith was hi other of AttorneyGeneral W. O. hmith, and of the late Mrs. Charlotte Hartwell. Delay had repeatedly occurred in his expected marriage to Miss Margaret Brewer of Oakland, lately Principal of Punahou Preparatory School. 'Their new resi dence had been completed, and her fur niture had arrived at Koloa. She is doubtless now expecting his arrival to claim her as his bride. But he died before the ink was dry on his last loving message to her. One thinks with dread of the prostrating sorrow that message will bring. A great sorrow has fallen upon several households, not least upon trie two noble sisters in the old missionary home at Koloa. This son is the second child who has been called away to join the eminent missionary parents who left these scenes years ago. At the present writing tne base and cruel assassin is not known to have been identified, notwithstanding most active search, and offered reward of $1000. The crime is unprecedented in Hawaiian records. At last Wednesday evening prayer meeting in Central Union Church, an earnest and touching tribute was paid by Rev. O. H. Gulick to the memory of Dr. J. K. Smith, especially in respect to his steady and deep devotion to work for souls, and his winning affectionateness in labor among the young, as witnessed by the speaker in the Hotel Street Mis sion. The Hawaiian natives and their pastors on Kauai had no friend so devoted and efficient as Dr. Smith. THE FRIEND A Truly Rich Man. [October. 1897 it is not the high and noble good that men falsely esteem it. The princes and nobles of wealth are too often anything but noble, because they have become consumed by a very ignoble thirst for wealth, absorbed by the worship of mam mon, and withered in their nobler powers and desires. Unless unusually guarded by the indwelling power of Christ, the rich man is apt to become a very ignoble man, whom clear-sighted and rightthinking men cannot hold in honor. Most weighty is the word ot the Master: "It is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven." He cannot enter that kingdom as long as he clutches his wealth as his own. He must learn to hold it as absolutely the Lord's propeity placed in his charge. He mnst learn to yield and distribute it freely and ungrudgingly, though carefully and wisely, at the Lord's call. Alas, for the rich man called away from his great possessions to enter theother world naked and pauper, because he has in this life tightly clutched his wealth for his own honor and power. Rarely is such opportunity given for the wise and liberal use of wealth, as is now afforded in Hawaii for enlightening the masses of ignorant people who have flocked into this land of Christian light. Such was our beloved brother Ja red Smith, whom the wise Providence of God has taken home to himself, to our grief, but to his glorious gain. Among our earnest and devout Christian brethren in Hawaii, are a number who have honorably and worthily acquired much store of earthlp property. According tothecurrent estimate made by mankind, these are the rich ones, and are counted the fortunate and happy ones, because they have great possessions. Not of these was our just now departed brother. He was rich in the higher elements of character. His possessions were those of a greatly cultivated and developed loving devotion to the highest interests of his weaker and needy brothers around him. He had laid up large treasures of earnest and efficient service rendered to both the temporal and spiritual needs of men. He had made a long record of diligent and beneficent labor, and of glad and un grudging contribution of his propeity for the creation of high and intelligent character in youth of the Hawaiian race. He diligently applied his labor and wisdom Central Union Church. and temporal means to promoting the prosperity ot tbe churches of his island, Pastor Bnnie returned home Sept. in order that the upliftinglight and power 23, from a delightful visit ol five weeks of Chiist might continue to abide among in Japan, much recuperated for the active the people, and win them heavenwards. labors of the year. During the Pastors vacation, the pulpit was most acceptably filled by the Rev. A Strong, capable man, whom all men X. Hoyt, D.D., of the First Con. Henry trusted and honored and on whom manyChurch of Sacramento. Dr. gregational leaned, Dr. Jared Smith was what men a preacher is of rare gifts, both' Hoyt call comparatively poor. When he left intellectual and spiritual. world, left small this he store of earthly- possessions behind him. And those few goods he could not take with him, any more than you can, brother, who are so heavily burdened with wealth. But he left this earthly scene, and entered the mysterious world beyond, where our dearly beloved have gone, carrying with him great store ot good. He was rich in deeds of kindness done, rich in earnest service to the Master. He took his riches with him, and also found in Heaven treasures laid up beforehand. When you and I enter heaven, if such blessed portion indeed be ours, we shall find there Jared Smith among the real millionaires, one of the princely rich men One may not speak slightingly of earthly wealth. It confers power. It means great opportunity for mightyservice to mankind. It confers respon sibility, and important stewardship. But The P. C. Advertiser has been publishing from the facile pen of the Rev. C. M. Hyde, D. I)., a series of very entertaining and instructive descriptive letters on scenes and incidents observed during his present visit in Japan. They art better than Kodak snaps. Lord Kelvin, the most eminent of British scientists, bears the following weighty testimony to the clear evidence in nature of the Divine existence: "I ivei poweringly Strong proofs of in telligence and benevolent design lie all round us; and if ever perplexities, whe ther metaphysical or scientific, turn us away from them for a time, they come back upon us with irresistible force, showing to us through nature the influence of a free will, and teaching us that all living beings depend on one everacting Creator and Ruler." �THE FRIEND Vol. 55, No. 10.] Visit of Senator Morgan. 79 Attempt at Native Mass Meeting.

I This page is devoted to the interests of (he Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board, is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson. - Editor. The Hilo Meeting. The meeting of the Hawaiian Association just held at Hilo, was a full one, all but one church being represented; and the session was a long one, lasting till the fourth day. The repoits of the churches were not all hopeful. On the contrary, some were quite depressing—perhaps it would be more exact to say that the state some of the pastors were found to be in was depressing. Every good and capable minister on this island is getting a 'fair response from his people, and has brought to the meeting a good account of the doings of the past six months; so far as they and their churches are concerned, the situation is hopeful. But as soon as we pass over these fortunate parishes and come to those that are presided over by men whose fitness for the ministry is questionable, or to such as have no pastors at all, the aspect of things is entirely changed. The preacher who was at Puula is under a cloud, and so is his parish, and he has had to leave it; the preacher lately settled at Waipio is charged with bearing false witness at court, and so assisting in warding off punishment from one charged with sorcery and mal practice, resulting in the death of the patient, so his parish fails to confide in him, as it might be expected to do. The case of these two men came up before the Association and solid hours were consumed in sorry discussion. Their case now is in the hands of a committee. Such discussions are not without their value, they have their educational effect, and they bring to view the sterling qualities of our good men. There was shown by them no disposition to cover fault, or to expose it, save so far as is necessary for the removal of it. Such exposures as were made, were made bravely, and without regard for personal comfort. There are men in the Hawaiian pulpit who would shine anywhere for their brave loyalty to the truth, and the pastor at Kohala is one. The Rev. J. Nua is called to be pastor of the associated churches of Kaohe and Milolii. The people at Kekaha are trying to repair their church building—or rather to rebuild it. Permission has been granted deacon Pa of that church to collect by subscription paper $.300 toward that purpose. The next meeting 81 of the Association is to be held with that getic, and more watchful to keep our parish. On Friday morning the Association received the greetings of the venerable Dr. Wetmore, and of pastors Hill and Baptist ; also Rev. G. YV. Jackman of Chicago brought the greetings of the brethren of the Congregational Association of that city. On Friday the Association lunched with Rev. Mr. Desha, where most of the members were being lodged, and where they fared sumptuously every day. At the close of the meeting, on Satur d;ty, the Association was invited by Mr. and Mrs. Lyman of the Hilo Boarding School to lunch with them. The school was on parade that day and the teachers and pupils and those that assisttd them among the ladies of the town, gave the guests a most toothsome lunch, and after it, a fine intellectual feast. On Friday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Levi Lyman were in attendance at the meeting of the Association, and wisely took occasion to explain somewhat in detail the methods of the school, and this was done much to the satifaction of the members of the Association. Three good men are urgently needed for the vacant parishes of this island. Sunday evening a very interesting union meeting was held in the new foreign church, and was addressed by members of the Association. Letter from Henry Nanpei. Ponape, Junk 18, 1H37. Rev. O. P. Emerson, I am deeply grieved to have to state to you, that in this our Annual Report, we have a series of complaints to make. In the first place, I would say that every time a change of Governors takes place here in Ponape, means either pleasure or pain to us. our present Governor is a good non-interfering man, and for us, and for our Christian work, is the right man in the right place. But alas, for us his stay here is very brief. We have now no fewer than eight Catholic priests on different parts of the island to contend with and battle against. They are erecting schools and churches wherever it is practicable to do so. They have already baptized four of the five kings on the island. But King Paul at Matalanim will hav<_ none of it; and he strongly objects to their planting a school or church on or near his territory. It is quite safe for me to assert that besides baptizing these four kings, they have got fully one-half of the island under their control. But although we are very naturally annoyed at all this, we are not at all discouraged or disheartened; we mean to be more persevering in our Christian work. In fact it only tends to make us more industrious, more ener- Christian people up to their duty. About those kings and many others whom the priests have baptized, 1 can safely say they were never anything to us even in Mr. Doane's time, so that the loss to us is immaterial. There are some of cot-tat who I never thought would have proved such turncoats; even some of Mr. Doane's well trained and disciplined teachers haverenounced their religious principles and gone over to the Catholic side. However, as I have already stated, all this does not intimidate us from carrying on our good Christian work. We are now very busy building a new and much bigger church than we have ever had hitherto, and which we expect to have finished about August. I am happy to be able to say that our school and singing classes are doing good work, so that taking all in all, we are still in a prosperous condition. Some two or three weeks ago, one of those Catholic priests paid us a visit, and spoke approvingly of all that he saw and heard. On his leaving he remarked that sooner or later, all Spanish subjects must be Roman Catholics. "This," said he, "was tht sole object of our Government taking possession of the island, to civilize and christianize the people, who have been for the last 40 or 50 years so ignominiously misled by the heretics." After he left, I began to think that his remark contained more sentiment than common sense. I may be wrong, but those priests appear to me to be grossly ignorant. Good work is being done on the island of Mants. In addition to a big church which is now just completed, they will have in a very short time four other schools going on in different parts of the island. The head teacher, William, who is a devout Christian and thorough worker for God's cause, is always and at all times on the move, speaking and praying with his people. The Matalanim tribe are also doing good work. Their three schools are well attended, and their meeting houses filled to overflowing. The priests are rather reluctant about planting a church or school on Matalanim. For this I hardly blame them, as King Paul has put his foot down—and I can assure you that it is neither a small nor handsome one to resist all comers who will dare to interfere with him or his people's religious beliefs. I wish to say that fully two-thirds of the Governors who have been here on the island, have been men who have had no inclination whatever to meddleor interfere withreligious matters. Immediately on a Governor's arrival here, those priests interview him, and commence at once to probe his vital parts about their mission work; and whether he intends to cooperate and assist them about making everybody Catholics. If the governor should have moral courage, and strength of character enough just to tell them that his business �THE 82 here was not to bother his head about mission work, his doom is sealed, and his stay here is at an end. Any governm who is not favorable to their wmk il considered an enemy to their cause. I must now conclude by saying thai with (iod's help we will put forth a vigorous endeavor to keti, our Christian We have long community together. since found out that two cannot walk together if they be not agreed.

Some corroborating light may be thrown upon that subject by the following sentences from an article in the National Review, by John Foreman who has lived in Manila. "The Philippine war which is helping to cripple Spanish finances was the work of the haughty monks, who pushed their uppiession of the natives to an intolera ble degree. The wholesale slaughter and other atrocities lately committed in those islands were the acts of men whose banners were blessed by the piiests, and who are led to believe that in suppressing liberty they are lighting for a holy cause." "General Ramon Blanco's downfall at Manila was directly due to Ins having fallen into disfavor with the clerical party, headed by the blood thirsty Arch bishop of Manila who, if be could have made a tool of Blanco, would have started a war ol oati\e extermination, with daily executi us.'

Mrs So has been untiling in her labors in the Kindergarten, the Sunday School and among the women. Her love for the children and theirs for her, has given her an entrance into many homes where she could give help and instruction. The number of the women who attend worship on the Sabbath steadily increases. Three women have been received into the church during the year, and there are several inquirers. Once a month a woman's meeting is held, attended by ten or fifteen women. They are partly social, and have been pleasant and profitable githerings. A benevoleat society has also been formed to help the sick and destitute. Some of the women visit every week the sick in the Hospital and in their homes, and have aided with money some poor sick people, ami have helped one to return to Japan. The Temperance Society formed when Mrs. Tarn Antlo was here, has been revived and officers chosen, Thirty have joined, and it is expected that many more will do si.

His family were left at Japan, but will join him later. During the year, one hundred and twenty loin persons have been received into the churches on the Islands. This means, in some cases, families brought under Christian influences.

The Gown in the Pulpit. The following appears in a lengthy article in the London Times upon "The Position of Nonconformity." The matter at issue is certainly of minor impor tance. ••There is one detail of this matter of externals which must on no account be admitted, and that is the costume of the minister.

A few days ago a member of a Pus byterian church in Chicago said to me: "I have friends who are naval officers, who have been in Japan ,nu\ China, and I asked them 'How about the mission aries there ? and they said, They are no good.' " When such criticisms are made it is best to ask a few questions.

Will you tell me what kind of missionary work you found ineffective ? the evangeWhat kind listic or the teaching work of missionary work is it that you do not like, the hospital work, the kindergarti n, the street preaching, the house to house visitation, the college work, the dislrilm tion of Bibles, the publication of ChrisFurthermore, if you tian literature? have not seen any kind of work personally, tnd if you have no knowledge ot Christian missionaries, from what sour ces have you gained the unfavorable opinions which you fling about with such careless omniscience ? Did you associate with the unChristian and grossly immoral English speaking pen pie. so many of whom reside in the seaboard cities of the Orient ? Are you simply reflecting the hostility to missions and to a pure Christianity which generally characterizes English and American merchants who have gone to the Orient for revenue only ?

A Summer School foi all teachers was opened July 7th. in the high school building, to I ontinue three weeks. Leading teachers h*vi held classes for instruction there, and in Port Street School. Prof. Elmer P. Brown of Cal ifornia University has delivered B series of lectures to the teachers. Inspector Townselid has issued a new schedule of studies foi the Government Schools, which appears to contain valuable imThe School system of provements. Hawaii is being energetically pushed, and is making constant progress Prof Brown especially emphasizes the ethical element in instruction. At the closing of the Summer School the lecturer Dr. Elmer Brown July made remarks which so truly characterise the whole tone of the speaker, that they are here quoted: -2711i, What is fine teaching? We know many people whom we like, but in whose presence we can think our lowei thoughts; these are not our teachers in the best sense of the word. We know others in whose presence we cannot think out lower thoughts; these should be our teachers. Every community should cherish the persons in whose presence the people think their noblest thoughts. A teachr rin whose presence the pupils'think then noblest thoughts is the ideal teacher, [f the Summer School has been the means of forming one such teacher, its work has not been in vain. The Inspector General, among many other impressive remarks, significantly said: The Summer School must not be ins. looked upon as .m end, but as aolme 'This is a movement in favor better teaching in the school room, and its success can only be judged by the work we do next year. We have all received instruction which will prove useful to us. We may not realize this now and we may never realize it. Thoughts will be coming to us during the coming years, and we may not be able to trace their origin, but they may have had their origin in this session, now at an end. We shall go forth with enthusiasm, perhaps, more valuable than any of these Wherever earnest, lessons learned. enthusiastic teachers meet, their enthusiasm increases. This is not the least gain from the Summer School. Yale Graduates Returned to Hawaii. Messrs. Albert P. and James B. Judd, of the Chief Justice, have just ned home, after their college course ale.

Ex queen Liliuokalani filed in the office of the Secretary of State at Washington, June 17th, a formal prjtest against the annexation of Hawaii to the United States, as per Treaty sent by the President to the Senate the day before, declaring "such treaty to be an act of wrong toward the nativeand part native people of Hawaii, an invasion of the rights of the ruling chiefs, in violation of international rights, both toward my people and toward friendly nations with whom the' have made treaties, the perpetuation of the fraud whereby the cotistitutio al government was overturned, si I finally an act of gross injustice ti me. There is a special protest against annexing !>'•>,ooo acres of Crown lands, the "title t which is legally in my name at this date." No notice has been taken of this protest by the President or the Senate, who are doubtless convinced that the highest good of all concerned calls for annexation. Rev. Douglas P.

Rev. 0. P. Emerson, . . - Edi/oi I On the 28th of July the Morning Star left this port to make hei fifteenth vo\ age to Micronesia with Capt. Bray in charge. Her passenger list comprised the Captain's wile, five missionaries and seven Gilbert Islanders. Mis. Bray goes to accompany her husband, and to chaperone the ladies of the part) ; Miss Hoppin is returning to the charge of the Kusaie (iiils' School ; Miss Kmma Kane, a graduate of Kawaiahao (iiils' School and tor some time a teacher then-, and lately in the normal department of the Kamehameha Girls' School, will assist Miss Hoppin. Miss Jennie ()lin expects to he associated With Dr. Rife in the charge of the training school for Maishall Islanders, als iat Kusaie. Miss IJeulah Logan is to he associated with her mother in the care of the Ruk (in Is School at the new station on the island of Volas in the Knk lagoon. Mr. Mitchell is returning to the field without his family, as his wife is not sufficiently recovered to go with him. The Star sails directly for Tapiteuea where she is to land mails anil supplies for the Hawaiian missionaries stationed there; thence she will go t Kus.ii',' by i Mi. Way ot Maiana and Apaiang. Mitchell will probably land at tin- latter island with the Gilbert Islands passen gers, one of whom is uncle to the king of Apaiang. He is taking with him fti 0 copies of Di. Bingham's new Gilbert Islands Hym.i and Tune Hooks just issued. As he is a good musician and an expert leader, it is expceled that he will do much toward the musical training of the people at the different stations which he may lie able to reach. The itinerary of the Star is as follows: thirty days to Kusaie, forty days for the first trip westward to Ruk and hack again to Kusaie, seventy-seven days for the work in the Marshall Islands, seventy days for the work in the Gilbert Isl mils; twenty days for the central Caroline Islands; forty days for the passaKuk to Honolulu:-- a total of tW hundred and seventy-seven days. Thi may therefore be expected back to I ionolulu on or about the '-'L'nil of April, 1 898, The vessel is in good repair, and under her experienced captain, may be expected to do her work promptly and wt she has in the past. Captain Bray has a serious commission to perform at Kuk, which may possibly take a little more time than that allotted. Captain Bray of the Morning Sliir wishes to acknowledge the generous contribution ol 7<' n pounds of ire from Mi -sis. J. I!. Atherton and \V. A. Bowen. We are sure that the thoughtfulneai of ti.. i;ii't will be appreciated by all the and by all their friends. shi.i s company The Captain also prizes the gasoline launch presented to the ship by Mr. C. M. Cooke. Undoubtedly none will value this gilt more than the ship's crew, as it will save them many a long pull at the oars. There are occasional bindings. such as that at Maiana, where seven or eight milts have to be made in boats before the mission station can be reached and this, under an equatorial sun is not an BBBJ task. Notes from the Field. Mr. T.

Kaulili, lately a theological student; he is already at work there, and may be regarded as on trial. News has been received of O. '/.. \V. Waikalai, who seems to be giving himself energetically to the work at Koloa, and with a measure of success. He is to be there only for a time, as he has not jet finished his course at the Institute. His teachers regard him as a man of unusual promise. The VVaianae Church which has been with.it a pastor for over two years is now being ministeitd to by Mr. L. K. Kakani, a member of the graduating class of the Theological Institute. It is piobable that the church may in time give him a call, and advisedly, foi he was regaided as one of the most capable men of his class. Key. Mr. Kapu of W'ailuku, Maui, reports that S. X Kaailua has begun work at Keanae. This is a parish that has not had a minister for several years and it is probable that Mr. Kaailua will be asked to settle there. As a member of the last graduating class of the institute), he is approved by his teachers as a good man for the place. Mi. Kapu also reports that D. Kunu kau ol the last class ol the Institute, is at Honuaula, a parish which has been under the charge of Mr. Kapu, who now leaves the care of it to Mr. Kunukau. I'he distance of this parish from Wailuku is so great that Mr. Kapu could give it only occasional visits and a resident pastor is veiy much needed. Mr. J. Nua, who, after his return from the Gilbert Islands, whither he went as a missionary in 1H94, has been studying at the Institute, is now at work in the parishes of Kaohe and Miloliion Hawaii. The following undergraduates are located for the Summer vacation, as follows: Kahaleole at Waimea, Hawaii; I'oepoe at Olaa; Kauhi at Kalihi and Moanalua; while Kiaaina is with Mr. Parker of K-twaiahao and Kawelo is with Mr. Timoteo of Kaumakapili. debt of the neighboring church at Waiwishes to announce, with many thanks to the givers, that he has succeeded in raising (336, which cancels the jntiie debt excepting 85').

It is to Mr. Dillingham's initiative that three large plantations owe their existence, Kahuku, Kwa and Oahu Plan tations, all of which will ultimately pay tribute to the railway, as well as the two older plantations of Waianae and Wai alua. It may he considered probable that at least one more laige plantation will arise on the Waialua section now in process of construction. In 1893 the passenger traffic equalled carrying 8U.312 passengers one mile, while in 1896 it rose lo I ,325,0511. The entire indebtedness of the com pany has been consolidated into $2,000, 0(1;) of 6 per cent bonds, not yet all issued, part being to covei the extension of the road to Kahuku, which is a distance of nearly seventy miles from Honolulu. During 1896, four cattle traps and pens were constructed, resulting in the trapping of $12,000 worth of old steers and cows, so wild as hitherto to defy Capture The calling of the kanaka cow boy is passing away. The completion of the railway to Kahuku will greatly stimulate the development of natural resources along the line. The development of the natural possibilities of O.ihu. as well as of the other islands, is yet in the future. On the uplands between Kwa and Waialua alone, are 30,000 acres of land available for agriculture, which have never seen a plough. PNauliR n oad.

On June2Bth, Foreign Minister Cooper ugust. 1897 J FRIKNI). ese Minister Shimamura, saying "I am authorized by the Government to suggest that the matters at issue be referred to a disinterested arbitrator or arbitrators for settlement, and in case such suggestion is accepted by His Imperial Japanese Majesty's Government to say that the Hawaiian Government will abide by the result." This is an honorable offer, and one that seemingly ought to he accepted. The views of the parties differ so widely and aie so firmly held, that it is difficult to see any satisfactory solution except by means of an arbitration. i Trane-Mississippi Congress favor Annexation. A nearly unanimous vote was given by about 300 delegates from 24 states and territories west of the Mississippi on July 16, at Salt Lake City for the resolution following: "Resolved: That the Trans-Mississippi Congress favors the prompt annexation of the Hawaiian Republic to the United States on the grounds of national policy, prestige and commercial necessity, thereby removing the possibility of this great stronghold in mid Pacific being controlled by any foreign power as a constant menace to our country."

It is hoped that the next issue of ThS Fkiknd will contain a full account of the exercises as well as of the building itself. Our brethren there seem to be worthily keeping up their church work abreast of the rapid growth of their town.

On the noble roads and among the beautiful homes that are soon to civilize and adorn that present luxuriant wilderness, not only schools but churches are to spring up for the higher needs ol the new population.

It has been the unprecedented priviege of English-speaking men, the world around, to rejoice in sympathy with their great mother country in the attaintheir venerable sovereign of a of her reign longer than that of her monarch at least in European Etiy 51 Number 7 history.

We all sympathise with her, and tender her most heartfelt and loving greeting, with profoundest honor and reverence. It certainly is not foi any intellectual qualities in this exalted woman that might be called great. Mentally she has never shown brilliance, and might easily be reckoned But she has been common place. soundly and steadfastly good. There has always and consistently shone in her a purity of intention, a justice of action, a calmness and considetateness of deliberation, a moderation of judgment, a complete integrity and righteousness, which have been so undeviating, as to have accumulated through these long decades an ever growing weight of character and exalted repute. She has not sought to exercise personal government, but with the wisest moderation has carefully avoided interfering with or opposing her great ministers. Yet on fit occasion, where public policy was doubtful, her influence has determined the balance, and always in the way most worthy. Without special genius or eminence of knowledge, Victoria's strong and excellent purity of character has reaiatlessly moulded the motives and opinions of her ministers.

Mr. Sallmon held for forty minutes a deeply interested audience it the Central Union Church last Sunday evening, upon the topic of V M. C. A. work and its success.

On Saturday, exercises were held in the church, by the usual convention of the Sabbath Schools of this island, with a very large attendance Three hours having been thus occupied with deep interest, the people were invited to the basement, where an ample Hawaiian least was .spread upon sixteen long tables, one of which was especially arranged and supplied for foreigners.

A final session to finish up business was held on Monday forenoon, June 7th, when the Association adjourned till another year, most of the members returning home early in the week. This meeting ol the H. E. Association has been, on the whole, gratifying and satisfactory. A spirit of devout prayerfulness has been manifest. Harmony has prevailed. The pastors have returned to their fields refreshed and strengthened in spirit by their mutual conference, and the blessing of the Divine presence. Report of Treasurer of Hawaiian Board.

Hawaiian Secretary of Legation at Washington, died in that city May 20. He had been seriously ill but a few days, although for some time ailing with kidney trouble. He fainted the week before at a President's reception, and never rallied. Mr. Hastings has served for four years in his office with great acceptance to both governments, having had an early training in the U. S. Consular service. He had married into a leading family in these islands. It will be difficult to find any available man to take his place satisfactorily at this critical juncture.

The news came on the 33d, as an entire surprise, that President McKinley, was about to send to the Senate a treaty of annexation of Hawaii. It had quite ceased to be hoped that the administration would act upon the matter at the present extra session, although known to be in favor of the measure. The government and Minister Sevvail however were aware that such a move was contemplated. It was probably hastened by the aggressive and menacing attitude of Japan towards Hawaii. It was believed that the necessary two thirds vote of the Senate would promptly be given to the Treaty. Should this be done, it is certain of speedy ratification by the Hawaiian Senate, and therefore it is quite probable that the American Flag will be (lying over our public build ings at an early date. We have long expected and advocated this event. No thing in the world is plainer than the impossibility of maintaining Hawaii as an independent state amid the clashiugs of political and commercial strife in the Pacific. Stability of government is indispensable to Hawaii, which also naturally gravitates to America as its shelter and support, while it is necessary to the Union as its strategic outpost and naval nefense.

E»iersoit. - Editor, From the Minutes of the Meeting of the Association. The antniitl meeting of the Hawaiian Kvangelical Association held in Kaw.n-. ahao Church, occupied live working days, opening on Tuesday, June Ist, and adjourned Monday, June 7th, to meet there again the first Tuesday ol June (the 7th), I8»8. There were present 29 pastors, II lay delegates; Other clergy. men missionaries and associate members, numbering seventeen were in attendance. The first two days were chielly spent in reading the statistical tables of the churches and the report! of the local island associations. Although there has been a slight shrinkage in their contri butions to the Board, there is manifest more harmony and an increase ol inter est in church work. S. W. Kawewtln. chairman of the Kailua Church committee for the repair of its venerable meeting bouse, reported the completion of repairs so long needed on the steeple. Rev. B. M, Han una, pastor of the church at liana, Maui, laid before the Association a request that, a committee of that church be permitted to solicit funds on the different islands for the completion of the repairs on their meeting house, they having already spent several thousand dollarsand being in need of if-joou more. The request was granted with the condition that only $1000 outside aid be asked. Pour subscription papers have been issued, one for each island, and tlie signature of the secretary is on each. It was voted that the Hawaiian Board should take into consideration the matter of securing the right men and providing them with funds for evangelistic work, such as was done with such good results on Kauai two years ago. Wednesday morning the members of the Association were in attendance at the closingexercises of Kawaiahao Girls' School. Wednesday evening all were invited to the Hawaiian Christian Endeavor Convention held at Kawaiahao Church. Thursday morning the Association received the delegates of the different churches and missions, after which the Secretary and Treasurer read their Annual Reports. At 4 p.m. the ladies of the Woman's Hoard of Missions entertained the members of the Associa tion and their families at the annual tea party in the parlors of the Central Union Church. Year by year this event holds its remarkable interest. On this day a vote was passed urging the Hawaiian Hoard to continue its support of ministers with specially limited resources such as may be com mended to its consideration by the local island associations. The Association also voted to ask the native churches to raise $2000 for the foreign mission work this year. Friday morning the Association attended the annual examination ot the students of the N. I'. If, Institute. Later it was voted to ask the Hawaiian Hoard to increase its grant in aid of the students of this school. At the alter noon session Key. (). P. Knieis n was re elected Secretary and Mr. W. \V. Hall Treasurer of the Hawaiian Hoard, and all members of the Third Class wen re-elected to membership, excepting Rev. I). Kapali, whose place was lilleil by Key. S. 1.. Desha. H. I). Bond, Ml>". continues on ihe Hoaid in the place ol his honored father, no longer living. On motion of the Secretary, the Association made a new departure in the matter of additional members to the Hoard, one new name being added to each of the three classes: that of C. C. Kennedy of Hilo stands on the first class, W. H. Rice .on the second and Key. O. H. Gulick on the third class. In view of the failure of many of the churches to pay up the salaries of then pastors, it was voted that this Association remind these churches of the binding nature of the pastoral contract The obligation it carries has always, by enlightened churches, been felt to be one that cannot be lightly set aside. In view of certain false teachings with regard to the Holy Spirit it was voted to ask the Hawaiian Hoard to publish anil circulate a brief statement of the Scrip tural teaching on the subject. A resolution was passed approving of the limitation to two years of the call extended by the Kaumakapili Church to Key. K. S. Timoteo. At the same time it was voted that this limitation be not regarded as a precedent. A special vote of thanks was given Hon. H. I'. Baldwin for the gift.of the beautiful Wainee Church building of I.ahaina in addition to his ever liberal aid to the churches. It was voted to ask the Hawaiian Hoard to print in convenient form the constitution and by laws of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. Dr. Hyde was asked to continue his efforts for the care of church building sites, etc. It was voted to observe the Week of Prayer and the Day of Prayer for schools, which occur in January. Sunday, June 6th, at 2 p.m., dedicatory exercises were held in the Japanese 57 Chinch, corner of Xiuianu and Kukui streets, ROW owned by the Hoard. At 4 p.m. the lame day, the Association held the Communion Service at [Kawaiahao Church. Annual sermons on missions were preached on thr Sunday evenings in the different pulpits of tlie city, English, Hawaiian. Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese. In the Central Union Church Rev. J.

There are a so those whose talents are of a lesser older. To do their best, they must have the stimulus and aid of stronger personality.

Indeed when this question ola more active ministry is under consideration, the one problem that forces our attention is that of larger salaries. With its present very hunted outlook fm suppoit. the native ministry is not attractive to most young men of energy and ability. The living ol the should be at least equal to that ol the regularly paid day labour. He must not be asked to subject himself and his family to pinching poverty. There is great wealth in this country, mine of it should be given to the support of a more active ministry. In addition to the honor which may come with it and the opportunity for Hue service, this ministry should offer our best native youth a living beyond the reach of a straitened poverty, Till it does this we cannot expect the graduates of our schools to any extent to consider it as a career. native pastor �THE 58 FRIEND. jjtily, 1897- In his detailed account orthe different well.

In the "Parliament of Religions," organized by Dr. Barrows, there were some features which seemed to allow to the Ethnic religions a species of peerage alongside of Christianity, instead of making God's revelation in Christ of sole authority and His Kingdom supreme. But in the light ol Dr. Barrows' recent work in India, and his attitude there in respect to Christ, and especially in the light of this lecture, it is manifest that he is enthusiastically loyal to our one Lord and Master. With this issue of The Friend, the present Editor completes ten years of service. The Divine mercy is humbly and thankfully acknowled/ed. It is modestly hoped that the paper has been made in some degree to continue the good work it began to do in earlier days, in chronicling and supporting the work of Ethnic Religions not Valueless.

All the schools are taught in English, excepting a few classes in Chine.se. All children of suitable age are compelled to attend school. The great number of Portuguese children is to be remarked, also that of Part Hawaiians, a majority ol whose fathers are foreigners, married to native or Part-Hawaiian women. The entirely American character of the Hawaiian School system is illustiated by the excess of 236 American teachers, out of the total 482 of all nationalities. The text books used are American. The celebration at New York on April 27th, on the occasion of depositing the remains of General Grant in the great tomb in Riverside Park, seems to have been one well worthy of the honor due to the great warrior and patriot, the man of such grand simplicity, modesty and integrity. America is supremely ennobled by three such pure and illustrious names as those of Washington, Lincoln, and Grant, each of themdevoid of vanity, ostentation, or self seeking. �44 THE FRIEND Hawaiian Mission Children's Society necessarily fading with the lapse of time.

The entertainment given by the offiof Ihe Naiiiwa on the evening of 19th to some 250 visitors is thought to have surpassed any previous one on a warship in Honolulu in the elegance of its decorations. Our Japanese neighbors evidently mean their errand here to be understood as an amicable one. cets Banquet to Japanese Newspaper Men. Perhaps as notable a gathering as ever took place in Honolulu was the dinner given on the 15th ult. at the Hawaiian Hotel to the representatives of the Japanese Press by the newspaper men of Honolulu. Ten Japanese gentlemen were present, including Councillor Akiyama and four correspondents of Japanese Papers who accompanied him on the Xuniwa. There were also twelve English-speaking whites, one Portuguese, one Hawaiian and two Chinese, all connected with Honolulu papers of those nationalities, except one correspondent from San Francisco. The most cordial feeling prevailed. The only allusion to politics was the confidence expressed by Mr. Shiozawa of the Hawaii Shimpo, that "the recent little difficulty between Japan and Hawaii will be speedily settled." The Hawaiian Government, acting upon the advice of leading business men, has declined to renew to Col. Z. S. Spalding the now expired concession granted him, of the exclusive right to land a Cable from California at Honolulu. On May 24th, the 78th birthday of Cjueen Victoria a very large attendance at the reception of Her Majesty's Commissioner A. G. S.

The town of Pomona has adopted a high liquor license ordinance, which is more practicable, if not so ideally good as absolute prohibition. Two liquor shops are allowed at license fees of $1000 and bonds of $5000. No seats, games, pictures or newspapers are allowed. Unobstructed view must be given from the street. Any wife, mother, daughter or sister may prohibit moneyneeded for her support to be taken by the saloon. Pomona will secure the actual execution of this ordinance only by vigilant activity. Probably the drinking population of Honolulu is too large for even that much of restriction upon appetite. Gie.it clamor is being made t.. Con by Claus Spreckels and Henry Oxnard thai the tree admission nt Hawaiian Sugar under the treaty ..I Reciprocity il detrimental u> the interests of Beet culture. This is purely fraudulent. Nothing can he more transparently cleat than the fact that no amount ol fiee sugar from Hawaii cat, possibly lower the price of protected bee' sugai in America, until the combined amount oi both sugars has grown 1., be in excess of the total consumption ol sugai in tinUnited States. There is in. possible answer to this statement. It must he n great many years before the production of beet Sugar approximates the total consumption of the country and so finds free Hawaiian an injurious competitor. The truth seems to be that it is really the wealthy Sugar Trust thai hates Hawaiian tree sugar, but dares not avow its hostility. So it puts forward Beet Sugar to fight against us under this false pretext. Certain facts now transpire which indicate that Liliuokalani and her Secretary Julius Palmer are really in the pay of this wealthy corporation. This fully accounts for the ex-queen's lavish expenditure in Washington totally beyond her private means. Our esteemed neighbor Judge Hart takes The Friend to task for characterizing the Powers of Europe as "cowardly" in their recent action in Crete, and non-action at Constantinople. We had thought of calling their conduct "brutal and barbarous," but deemed it more charitable to impute their disgrace ful behavior to timidity. There are times when mere prudence is whollyignoble. After six weeks suspension of work the Dredger is again cutting coral and discharging it inland day and night. The old cutters, worn out and broken on the hard stratum of coral below, have been replaced by new ones of wrought steel. It is hoped that thirty days of steady work will complete the job of deepening the new slip. Several acres of new land have been created on the old mud flat. Surf Riding at Waikiki. This exciting amusement has grown into such demand by visitors as well as residents, that a company of natives has been formed, called the Hui Pakaka Nalu (Wave Gliders), who are ready to take people out for the sport in native canoes at a dollar an hour. With a skilled native, there is no danger of upsetting as you shoot forward on the top front of a combing billow and race for the shore. In any case the kanaka would infallibly keep one from drowning. Dr. J. M. Whitney of Honolulu has been elected Vice-President of the Pacific Coast Dental Congress He has contributed to the public many articles of high scientific value, some especially relating to diseases shown in the teeth and jaws of ancient Hawaiian skulls. gress The fertile uplands of Kula on the Western front of H.ileakala on Maui, are reported to he neatly without dunk ing water, anil crops a total failure hum drought.

Abundant testimony comes from Hilo that the town is putting on great and rapid growth. Large numbers of cottages and many superior residences aie being planned and erected. The Streets are being widened and greatly improved. Lots are being laid oul in new tracts in many directions. Twenty white men with families are reported to have arrived within the past two months to engage in coffee culture. The new wharf is likelysoon to be built. Hilo is becoming a very live town, and unless many signs fail, is going to become much more lively. It has before it a great and active future, not merely financially, but from the healthy elements there, it seems safe to say, morally and spiritually. RECORD OF EVENTS. May Ist.

Sunday, May , Work in English. As Mr. Birnie well says, it is not denominationalism we want, but teligion-more worship, more instruction in the teachings of Jesus The Board stands ready to push this work in every needy center. The Palama Chapel, under the care of the Rev. Mr. Lewis, has the newest congregation. It is only a year old, md yet it has become a well established mission with its many departments of work, as the report inserted below will show. In such centers as Kailua and (Jlaa there ought very soon to be formed union congregations. Even were it desirable the community is not large enough for denominational organization, but there are many who would gladly get together for the sake of Bible study and fellowship in the truth. In the person of Jesus we can all unite. The little congregation at Wailuku, Maui, which is now being ministered to every other week by the much beloved pastor of the Paia Church, might be built up to greater strength by a resident minister. Wailuku is a center where a man ol missionary spirit might exert a wide influence. Not only are there whites to be found in the region, but there are also half whites and natives, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese, who speak English, all of whom would be greatly benefited by such pastoral care. We not long since called on a Chinese merchant who for twenty years had lived in Wailuku. He had become impressed by the truth of Christianity. At last a Christian, he grieved that the power of the life that is in Jesus had not come to him earlier. Miss Turner of the Chinese mission in Wailuku would welcome a minister to that field, and do much to help him. Rev. Mr. Kapu, pastor of the native church, would do all he could to aid the right man—and the aid of Mr. Kapu would count for much. Mr. Egami of the Japanese church would also be sure to do his part. The services in English could be arranged so as to accommodate the members of other congregations as well, and there gain the stimulus of large attendance. A minister of the right stamp at Wailuku could be very useful to the native pastors, in fact, he could do the work the Rev. Mr. Lydgate is doing on Kauai. One wishing to take up the native tongue and master it, could become the head of a ministerial training school for all the native pastors of the island. Periodic meetings could be established for them, such as Mr. Lydgate holds. The Foreign Church of Hilo, Hawaii, which is under the care of the Rev. Mr. Hill has completed its new and beautiful church structure. This widening of its capacity and influence just at this time, when things seem to feel the movement of a new and greater growth, is very There are nine English speaking congregations on the islands which are more or less associated with our work. Of these three are on Kauai, and two on each of the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii. Seven clergymen minister to these nine congregations; four have church organizations. They are a power for good that reaches to the remotest corners of the group. The Central Union Church of this city, which is under the able leadership of Rev. D. P. Birnie, is the main support of our work. From it come most of the men, money and influence for the conduct of our affairs. Indeed each church, each congregation, does its part through the personal exertions and gifts of individual members. With the increase of the English speaking population there will be a call tor an increase of these congregations. timely. 49 Palama Chapel Mission. Report of Rev. J. M. Lewis. Sunday School Superintendent Miss Ida M. Pope, leader of singing class, Miss C. Clyiner, manager of sewing classes, Miss Parke and Miss Peniel, teachers in the kindergarten, the Misses Buckey, Bray, Kinney, and musicians Miss Carrie Bray and Miss Helen Desha. The Palama Chapel will have reached its first anniversary on the first of June. Ever since the opening of the chapel continuous work has been going on. The attempt to establish a mission in this district was at first looked upon as a doubtful experiment. Now however the experimental stage has been passed and the mission is a settled fact, well rooted in the lite of the community, and looked upon as a necessary part of th c higher life of the district. The chapel was built and dedicated previous to the organization of any meeting or gathering of any kind. As soon as it was ready for use a personal invitation was extended throughout the community by house to house visitation and in other ways. From the first it became evident that such a building was needed. Indications pointed to the fact that the effort put forth would not be in vain. The work has branched out along various lines, such as the Sunday school, prayer and preaching services, singing classes, boys clubs, monthly literary and musical entertainments and a kindergarten. A small library has been formed and reading matter provided. The chapel is in constant use through the week and on Sundays. The services have been well attended. The enrollment of scholars has increased from twelve to seventy five. Miss Pope, principal of the Kamehameha Girls' School has been our efficient superintendent. Our singing classes, under the enthusiastic leadership of Miss Clymer, also of Kamehameha, have been a great help to our work; so also have been the sewing classes and the boys club which are under the charge of a corps of faithful teachers. All these agencies at work in the mission have helped to awaken the interest of the community. It has been our aim from the start to make the chapel a social and intellectual as well as religious center, and in this way attract the people and create in them a hunger and thirst for righteousness, and ultimately bring them to a personal knowledge of Christ. We believe that this mission will have its influence in the formation of the character of the people. Through the direct efforts of this mission a primary school has been established in the district for young children of school age, who otherwise would have been running about the streets without educational privileges. Our work has been largely among the young people, and the indications are �50 THE FRIEND June,1897 Our Can White Laborers Perform the Work T.

If nothing happens to set it back, there is no reason why the jieojde should not hold on their way and "wax stronger and stronger." 'They are very weak, but increasing in strength. Undoubtedly there is growing tendency to regard and obey the voice ol conscience. The Mortlock Islands ought to, and will furnish the missionaries for evangelizing the islands to the west of us. What were the causes that led to this revival ? 'The prayers and tears of God's church and faithful servants were not forgotten, but "had come up for a memorial before God." They were to be answeied and this was the acceptable tune. So the blessing was poured out. Of course special efforts were made. I mention particularly a meeting I held with the teachers on my previous visit, when I gave them a Bible reading on the work of the Holy Ghost and had a special prayer meeting with them looking to a special endueing for service. The meeting was niaiked by earnestness and no little seriousness. It was also provided that the teachers should meet together once every month and pray together for God's blessing upon their woik, and for a personal filling of the Holy Spirit.

Davies, Esq., in England, occurs the following sentence, which we feel called todemui to. "The has been denounced far and ex-Queen wide, by nun who ought to have known better, as an abandoned idolatrous woman." We do not know of any of her opponents who publicly denounced her as an "abandoned' woman, except certain half-whites who did virulently so denounce her in the Legislature debates of 1892, and in the "Leon ka Lahui." Her white opponents did not publicly so speak of her at any time. Her outward life was always decorous. Considering the customs and traditions of her race, very lenient judgment is due to her. Nothing, publicly at bast, ever appeared to forbid the c irdial associating with her of ladies of high character. As to idolatry, she unci lubtedly did occasionally participate in gross he Ithen ceremonies. 'The Editor of I'm Friend in 1893, published the well proved fact of her having personally thrown a livepig and live fowl upon the hoi lavs as an offering to Pele. She endeavored to explain this as a harmless conformity to ancient customs. It is quite likely that she was not actuated by supersti tious feeling ot her own. She was evidently anxious, for political reasons, to cultivate the support and friendship of the heathen element, which had grown very influential under Kalakaua's fostering. He used il as bis mosl reliable instrument foi restoringdi sji it govern ment. llei motive was tin same. It was this attitude of Lilinokalai favoring idolatry, us well as hi favor i Lotteiies, which thoroug ted i many of the best nativi pasti rs, like Pali, Waiamau, Kauhane, losepa and others, and made them ardent supporters of the Republic. They knew too Well that she was continuing Kalakaua's fatal debaucheiy of her people to the old heathenism and vice, in ordei to further her despotic ends. Labor Commissioner E. L. Fitzgerald.

The theory is that it was composed for the purpose of denouncing and satirizing the Jewish error which conceived of God as having mercy and grace for Israel only, and nine lor the Gentiles. Jonah is described as a prophet who refused to carry God's message to the heathen. The consideration which most strongly turns the minds of Christian believers against considering Jonah unhistorical is our Lord's use of the repentance of the Ninevitea under Jonah's preaching to rebuke the impenitent people of Capernaum, and more especially the Louis comparison of his own burial to Jonah's being three days in the whale's belly. This is conceived not merely to endorse the inspiration of the book, which it plainly does, but also to indorse its historical verity. Is the latter so ? When our Lord endorses the inspiration oi Deuleimi my, he seems necessarily to endorse us historical verity, because H is altogether historical in character. Jonah is not historical in form, but essentially dramatic. Without assuming to decide the question, there would seem to be room for earnest believers to hold different conclusions, without deridl,)g or denouncing each other. not a Higher Critics Unscientific. Dr. Harper assures us "that the Pentateuch is a compilation of four distinct written documents, no one of which goes farther back than 950 15. C." This is the well known analysis of the Pentateuch given by the ''disintegrating critics." It is based upon the different uses of the words "Jehovah and "Ploliim" in the Mosaic record, but it is of very doubtful value, and is discredited by a growing number of the most competent scholars. It is a vicious and unscientific analysis of the Pentateuch (Sayct). The fourteenth chapter of Genesis alone proves it to be visional') and worthless (Halevy).

There are two roomy cottages, one for extra sick wards, and one for kitchen and dining loom. The wards are furnished with in at metal cots. There is a fine outloi k seawaids. The site is seaward of the Reform School, three-fourths of a mile north west from the Post Office. The peculiarly Christian character of the opening exercises is largely due to the great influence of Mr. Goo Kirn, so well k lown as an curly convert and a long and able Christian worker, as well as a successful merchant. It also impressively illustrates the great degree to which Christian sentiments have influenced and permeated the 22,000 Chinese residing in Hawaii. This noble and central group of the great Pacific is being wonderfully used for the enlightening of the nations. Franchere's Visit to Hawaii in 1811. A valuable supplement to Hawaiian History is to be found in a lately unearthed "Narrative of a Voyage to the Northwest coast of America," by Gabriel Franchere. The writer was a young Canadian, who sailed in Astor's ship the Tonquin in 1811, for the Columbia River. He printed his story in French in 1819. It wa:- published in English in 1854, by J. Y. Huntington. On t' c passage out a stop of 17 days made at these islands in February, 1811, which is described in pages 53-84. The tit scriptions anil notices appear to be careful and accurate. Many items are of much interest. A native is found building a 30-ton sloop at Kealakekua, and using a red hot iron for an auger. John Young was the governor, living at Tohel.igh, or Kawaihae. The Tonquin finally anchored off Ohetity, which must mean Waititi. The well-known Davis and Manini are among the first visitors to the ship, also Kraimoku. Tamehameha soon came off. He "was above the middle height, well made, robust, inclined to corpulency, and had a majestic carriage." He appeared to me from He was clothed in .ill to tin years old. European style, and wore a sword. His "double pirogue" was manned by twentyfour men. About noon on the 22nd, "his sable majesty paid us another visit, accompanied by his three wives and his favorite minister. These females were of an extraordinary corpulence, and of unmeasured size. They were dressed in the fashion of the country, having nothing but a piece of tapa, or bark-cloth, two yards long, passed round the hips and falling to the knees." Jean Rives is barely mentioned, as "a young Frenchman from Bordeaux, preceptor of the king's sons, whom he taught to read, and who understood the was language." �Vol. 55, No. 27 THE FRIEND. 4.] 1896 was an expensive year, owing to "We were given to understand that be sent back to Japan.

Theology, Dr. 'Abbott says, differs from Evolution in two respects, in regard to interventions, and in regard to the cause of change. "Theology attempts to account for the cause of life, but Involution does not." Having thus stated the difference between evolution and theology, Dr. Abbot says,"I acknowledge myself to be a radical evolutionist.' But here 1 raise the question- Is Dr. Abbott a radical evolutionist ? For he immediately adds; "I reverently and and heartily accept the axiom that a per sonal Gi d is the foundation of all life." But this is nothing less nor more than to say that God is the cause, and yet he has just told us that "it should be distinctly understood that evolution mikes no attempt to explain the cause of that progressive change which constitutes the essential manifestation ol what we call life." At the fir el stroke, therefore, Dr. Abbott gets on the theological side ol one of the two essential differences be tween evolution and theology. He joins the theologians in attempting to give a cause for things, and is not a "radical evolutionist," "Theie are no forces in nature," he continues to remark, "except the one divine, infinite force, the will ol God." If this is not to give a cause, what is? But there is still the other difference between evolution and theology, that of the idea of interventions. * * * He tells us first what theologians have believed, and then that evolution holds that this "higher life of man, this moral, this ethical, this spiritual nature has been developed by natural processes, as higher physical phases of life have been developed by natural processes.'' But Dr. Abbott is too shrewd not to see that this explanation does not cover the diffi culty, that we have here an effect greater than the cause, that the question where the "more" came from has not been answered. * * Hence after some hesitation he quietly acknowledges that the "evolutionist believes no less than the creationist that God breathes inti man the breath of a divine lite." * * But what about the doctrine ol non-intervention ? And what about tht fling that "it is theology alone which still holds to the doctrine of special inter ventions, to the action that there art gaps in the process of life to be filled up with God. As if God lived in gaps." Here is a genuine case of gap. the gap between animal and man, and according to Dr. Abbott God fids it up. * Breathing into man the breath of divine life is as much intervention as putting breath into the body of the widow's son by a clasp of the hand. Intervention is intervention, and clothing it in the terms of evolution instead of the terms of theology does not alter the fact. Grapho, in The Advance. • * Rev. Dr. M C.

There were also many experiences of conversion, especially among the youth of the Sunday School. F'lder Smith has earnest, impressive speech, intimate familiarity with Scripture, deep spirituality, and exceptional gift of logical discrimination, matured by long practice. He maintains the regular Methodist doctrine of "Sanctification." Without necessarily accepting his precise exposition of the life of the Spirit, one could not fail to be deeply impressed with the practicalattainability, and with our great need, of a life of habitual joy, strength and peace through the constant and sensible communion of the Holy Spirit indwelling with us.

And of those bom here, the males are considerably in excess of females, few of the former as yet having strayed abroad, being mostly in tender years. In all 9,199 persons of European origin now living in Hawaii, were born here, a little over three-fourths of whom are of Portuguese descent.

It may be added, that it was a pitiable thing for Mrs. Dominis to make such a public display in Washington of both mental and moral imbecility. Of the inventors and propagators of the vile and silly canard about an attempt to poison Liliuokalani, it is a question whether they are more base than stupid.

The rotation of that planet upon its axis, is identical in time with its revolution around the Sun. It always turns the same side to the Sun, just as the Moon does to the Earth. This is owing to the enormous tidal force txerted by the Sun upon Venus, which is seven times as great as he exerts upon the Earth. The tides act as a brake to retaid rotation, and Venus has succumbed as the Moon has done. The Call in Error about Kanoa. In the /'. C. Advertiser of March 26, appears a letter from Rev. Dr. H. Bingham, pointing out the errors of certain statements in the S. P. Call of March tith, to the effect that the late Rev. J. W.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Minion*, and the Editor, appointed by tsV Board, is responsible for its contents. Rev. 0. P. Emerson. - Editor. The Waimea Meeting. The Hawaiian Association of churches Friday, March 12th, and ended its mission at evening the next day. Of the important matters which came up for consideration, perhaps the foremost was that of the request of a number of members of the church of Kohala tor the removal of their pastor. The paper in which their petition was formulated was a rather stiff document| evidently drawn up by a lawyer. It gave evidence of strong political bias. The only serious charge brought against the pastor, that of deception, was easily explained on the ground of a change of opinion. Indeed the charges brought received little attention from the Association; the time was rather given to a consideration of the best method ol winning over the disaffected brethren. The bringer of the petition was questioned, and after much kindly conference, his suggestions were adopted. The Asa committee sociation was asked to of Pastors to speak conciliatory words to the disaffected. They and the pastor were to express regret for the hasty action of the Association in suspending the opposing members at a time of heated political feeling. Mutual confessions were to be made with the hope that the , breach might be healed. Mr. the delegate of the disaffected party and one of its leaders evinced an earnest desire to help bring about this harmony. There was much rejoicing at this apparently happy turn of affairs and the committee was chosen and sent. But the success oftheir mission, as has sincebeen learned, was not as great as had been hoped. Had it gone immediately and met with tne disaffected at their rendezvous on Sunday, the result might probably have been different. But going on Monday instead, there was no regular meeting held till Thursday, the date of the usual week day gathering. Unfortunately at that time the strongest member of the committee could not be present. Had certain leaders of the opposition wished it the result might have been different. Yet doubtless good will come of this effort of the Pastor and of the brethren of the Association to put themselves right withthe aggrieved members, they have shown a willingness to welcome back the seceders and deal gently with them. In doing this they have gone more than half way. Moreover the leaders gf the opposition are evidentmeet at Waimea, 31 THE FRIEND Those who hindered conciliatory measures have put themselves on record. Undoubtedly there are those who will cease to follow their lead. They ask unqualifiedly for the dismissal of Pastor Kekuewa. This can not bethought of. Kekuewa stands high in the regard of many of his people. He has the entire confidence ol his brethren in the ministry. He is one of the ablest ol the native pastors. His record is without a stain. Moreover he is winning some of the disaffected back to his side. There is too strong evidence of an unworthy purpose on the part of his strongest opponents. They are paid to keep up this opposition. Two other actions of the Association are noteworthy, one, the dismissal of the Rev. J. Kalino to accept the call of the Paia Church, and the other, the dis missal of the Rev. L. K. Kalawe without trial, from the pastorate of the Paula his island who once stood well but afterwards turned back into sin. He speaks of the prosperity of the Day Schools and the steady attendance of the children. The new Governor or British Commis sioner visited the island in August and enforced upon parents the duty of sending their children to school. Mr. Paaluhi, who occupies the Northern end of Tabiteuea, desires to bring his two sons to Hawaii nei next year for their education. The missionaries speak well of the new Governor and of his influence for good over the people. The islanders are evidently making progress, and on the whole the outlook is favorable. after the concert exercises. almost every Sunday afternoon and while there has been marked improvement in the meetings it is too soon to observe any great change in the people. The first impression of the chief has been confirmed. He has rendered us valuable assistance in moving buildings, taking at one time 35 of his men over to Anapauo to assist in carrying the boards and remaining with them three days and holding them to the work. Philip, one of my boys, visits these people every Sunday morning, and I visit them in the afternoon. They call themselves my people anil say they are members of the church. Last week Mrs. Logan and myself started on the schooner for a tour ofthese islands intending to visit Uman, Fefan Amau on Uelo, and Famua. At Uman we found Moses and Zipporah, and a good work. They filled his church about two-thirds full. Most ol those present were Christians. They listened attentively to a sermon on the rewards of the Christian life and an impromptu talk by Mis Logan, whom every one seemed glad tv sec. Zippor.iii was confined to her couch. She had been iii for six months and now is neither able to stand nor lie down, but must sit in a half reclining position all the time. She wept when we came in and spoke to her and Moses, and says she has great peace in prospect of death. Moses takes good cure of her and is very faithful. I thought, and we spoke of it as we came away, of the marvelous power of the Gospel of Jesus, which has done so much for these two children of darkness. Zipporah, sustained in the hour of approaching death testifying to the peace that was in her heart, and Moses no less wonderfully sustained, maintaining a pure life in the midst of his temptations and trials, present to the natives an object lesson on tbe power of the Gospel. To us who live in a land ly not agreed. Letter from Mr. Price at Ruk. (Continued from last issue.) This is the gist of our conversation that day as I spoke to him of God, His Church. The meeting of the Sunday School love, and His priceless gift. Since Association was held Sunday sfternoon, then I have visited these people Hawaiian Missionaries in the GilbertIslands. By the Morning Star which returned on the 29th of March from the fourteenth voyage to Micronesia, we have cheering letters from the three Hawaiian brethren in the Gilbert Islands. The fourth missionary Rev. Louis Mitchell who has been on Butaritari for two years, returned on the Star with his family on account of the very serious illness of his wife. Rev. J. VV. Kanoa the veteran missionary of Butaritari having died last July, the return of Mr. Mitchell now leaves that most interesting island wholly unoccupied by our band of laborers. Rev. Mr. VValkup also is temporarily withdrawn from the Gilbert Islands, as he takes charge of the mission school at Kusaie during the absence of Rev. Mr. Channon and family. Rev. S. P. Kaaia, the prince of native Hawaiian missionaries now living, writes cheenngly of his field on Tabiteuea. Church discipline is maintained. Monthly concert collections are maintained the contributions being made in coconuts and in coconut cord. Day Schools are well attended, the teachers paid from the Government Treasury. The institution of Christian marriage is being acknowledged among the people. He speaks highly of the Christian literature being furnished their people through the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Bingham. The most serious hinderance comes from the efforts of those who teach the worship of Mary. He still declines to take a furlough from his work until someone is found to fill his place during his absence. Mr. Mahihila of Miana, speaks of the continued defection of the principal chief of �32 where Christianity has moulded the sentiment and created a condition in harmony with that sentiment, the example of a woman dying peacefully and of a man faithful to Ins wife during a long, lingering illness, would hardly cause remark; but here, where fidelity m the marriage relation is hardly known anil where even Christians within a lew days after the death of a wife take another and sickness of one member in the married relation is sufficient cause for sin on the part of the other, the example ol good Zipporah and faithful Moses is nothing less than an unmistakable evidence of the Gospel in their lives. After our service we went in and prayed with Zipporah and came away feeling girded anew fjr our work in preaching this Gospel to the heathen. Moses is not all we wish he weie. He has become interested in making money, and we fear he neglects his spiritual work for things temporal, but he has a moral character which has been createtl in the atmosphere of the Gospel, which will be a power for God wherever he lives. We got underway for Kuku on the 3rd of Feb., aliout eleven o'clock, and before a fair wind we ran over in about two hours. There is war between Uin.tn and Fefan, and the Uman people wanted to go on the schooner with us in order to protect us. As Moses was going we allowed him to take a few of his boys, but three boatloads of the natives followed. We did not want them with us for we feared that they would make the people mad with us, and it was learned afterwards that they probably went along in order to get a landing on Fefan under cover of protecting us. In this they were foiled, for the Fefan people were ready to receive us with guns and other accoutrements of war. We anchored outside of gunshot range and Moses and Mrs. Logan and I went ashore. There has been war on Kuku for nearly two years, and Manasseh's work has amounted to almost nothing. He himself is growing old and is hardly able for the work of such a field, and it has seemed to us that we ought to change him to some other field. When we arrived we found that Emily, Manasseh's wife, had died the Saturday before. She had been sick a long time and had been a great surlerer. Her life had been quiet and unobtrusive, but true and faithful, and we feel sure that she dir-d in the faith. Manasseh said that she died in peace and we believe that she did. We thought best, after looking the situation over, tJ leave Manasseh there alone lor a few months at least. He will probably return to Ponape soon and we shall iher. tiy 10 secure a more wise and aggressive man for this field. It is bloody Fefan still as ol yore. The work has done comparatively little toward allaying the passion for war which has controled this people. We made a short stop at Fefan and at seven o'clock at evening we dropped anchor at Anapauo j'April, 1807. THE FRIEND. and the next day at about one o'clock, after Mrs. Logan and myself had made the visit mentioned above, we were on our way or Kinamne, the name ol our new home on Taloas, having accomplished only one half of what we set out to do, so much depends on the wind when one is toiling. I am glad to say that Capt. Fostei managed the schooner well on this trip and gieatly increased my confidence in his ability to take her through difficult places. He is cautious, avoids danger and takes no risks anil keeps a sharp lookout all the time. He seems to know pretty well now what the schooner can do and I think you may rest content with reference to Ins work. The coming of the Star was, as usual, an event in our lives; and as she brought Mrs. Logan this year, her coming was a double blessing Her kindness of bean, her tlioughtfulness and prudence and her ability to do work together with her social and intellectual qualities make her coining to us a cause ot constant thankfulness. No one could have taken her place here. She is needed here it in any place in the world, and it shall be our endeavor to make her life here as pleasant as it can be made by us under these circumstances. Of course we were disappointed that you did not send us an associate, but I know that you have the interest of this work at heart. I do not care to add anything to what I wrote you last year. The same reasons for having an ass >ci ate male missionary here still hold, and were I to restate them would make them even stronger than they were last year; but it has occurred to me that it might be well both for the man and the woik if he did not come until we have sue ceeded in ridding the mission and the work of the incubus which clings so persistently to it. A great sorrow has come to us in the sickness and death of our dear little babe who died on the Bth of Septeill >ci. Voyage of the Morning Star. The Missionary barken tine Morning Star, Captain Garland, arrived it Honolulu on the morning of March 2 ih, aft i a passage of 40 days from Ruk. Si brought the following passengers: Rev, family of the GiKieit J. If. Channonand Training School on Kusaie; Miss Kinney and Miss Abell of the Girls' Training School at Kinamue, Ruk; Rev. I.ouis Mitchell and family of Butaritari; Chas. Bowker and family ol Ruk. Mr. and Mrs. Channon take the regular year's furlough after seven years of labor, which long experience has proved to be economy of strength. Mr. Mitchell, a native ol Mauritius, returns on account of the prostrated health of his wife. The ladies from Ruk also take a vacation on account of impaired health. Mr. Bowker has rendered frequent and most essential service to the missionaries in Ruk as a carpenter, for many years, and how desires opportunity to educate his children. Leaving Honolulu June 25, the Starreached Butaritari ia 17 days. Having there landed all the Stores for the Gilbert Islands, the run to Kusaie took 12 days. A stay of 16 days was made at this missionary center, during which time the Star was overhauled. Thence the vessel proceeded to Ruk, calling on the way to inspect stations on the small islands of Mokil. Pingalap and Ngatic, also visiting Ponape. When half way to Kuk it became necessary to return to Ponape fol medical aid to a passenger. Bad weather necessitated a stay there ol six days. Going on, Ruk was reached in three and a halt days, steaming all the way, to mak-' up lost time. All were found well on Ruk, where a stay of five da) s was made. Returning to Kusaie, a ciowd of school children with teachers embarked, and the cruise was made through the stations of the Marshall Islands, returning some pupils to their homes, or locating them as teachers, and taking on other pupils to Kusaie. At one time SB people were on board. Again at Kusaie, the Gilbert scholars and teachers embarked, and 5t days were spent in a Cruise through that group. Once more proceeding to Ruk for final ordera and mails, the Star sailed for home on February 12th. Miss Foss of the Kusaie Mission, had embarked for home, but finding Miss Abell and Miss Kinney more debilitated than herself, she volunteered to remain on Ruk to assist Mrs. Logan in the Girls' School, that she might not be left alone. The departure of so many workers seriously cripples the work in MicroneRev. A. C.

Miss Jessie Hoppin is herewith restored health, awaiting the return of the Star to resume her work at Kusaie in the Training School for girls, where she has done much noble service. Our missionaries enjoyed unexpected liberty of intercourse with the native Christians at Ponape, which for many years has been forbidden them by the Spanish Governors, while a guard boat has been stationed to enforce the tabu on the Morning Star. On the present visit, the mission.tins freely visited the people. The chinches were found to be still alive, and maintaining public worship. A supply of New Testaments was landed, and eagerly bought up. The Governor was extremely friendly and kind. The work in most of the Marshall Islands was found highly prosperous. The German Kommissar was most friendly. The German authorities have learned highly to value the work of our missionaries and the numerous teachers located by them. There are no Roman Catholics there to antagonize and break up our work; as they do in the Gilbert Is. �Vol. 55, No. 4.] Mr. Price's Trip to the Mortlocks. We have space only for a severe of this interesting journal, which would lilt ten pages of 'Tin FkH'.NII. abridgment Jouknxi. 01 \ TaiP ro 33 THE FRIEND mi Mortlock I think that we never felt so Strongly the absolute inefficiency in ourselves and the need of liivine help and guidance in doing the work, as we did when we turned our laces toward the islands of the east at this time. On Sunday evening, Oct. 25th, we had a special service ol prayer for God's blessing and presence on this trip, and as we talked over the promises of God, and prayed together, we felt that the place was shaken, and that we were filled with the Holy Ghost endued for service even for this special and important undertaking. We arose from our knees with the calmest assurance that His presence would go with us, that this trip was to be one of the best ever made to the islands, and richest in the results for time and eternity. Our little schooner left Kinamue, Ruk, on the 26th of October. Capt. Foster had the schooner in good trim- every thing in ship shape; and with Chas. Gierow, an old salt, for mate, and some of our best schoolboys for sailors. Mrs. Logan and I went to do the work, and as we launched our little boat away from the shore, she remarked that it reminded her of the old times of the happy tours with Mr. Logan. A light wind compelling us to anchor that night just inside the passage, we entered the open sea early the next morning, and our stomachs were soon con scions of every movement of the light little craft. Nave was in sight at 3 p.m., and at five Mrs. Logan, Moses, and I landed. A high sea was running in ovjr the reef, but after some clashing about, we got safe to shore, and were warmly welcomed by the teacher and his people. Alexander the teacher and his wife Alexandrina, have been on this island about five years. They are among the poorest of our teachers so far as culture and native ability are concerned, but have kept themselves from the evil one, and their work gives considerable evidence of stability. VVe had a service in the church by lamplight, and it was a tender one. Moses spoke pleasantly of his former work on this island, and referred to the death of Zippora a few days before. He said that he missed her very much, but was happy because she had worked so long for Jeaus and died in peace. The teacher had just lost a daughter, and Moses' words seemed especially helpful to them. Mrs. Logan and her girl occupied for earnest men, living up to their light as the night a house of one room belonging nearly as most people do.

Pis. From Losap we crossed the lagoon to a small island Pis, where arc about 150 people. Though smaller than Losap, this islet is much more fertile. Mr. Treiberhad organized a chinch here, which has had a precarious existence. On my former journeyings I had nol visited this place, considering it so near Losap that they ought to join in with them; but last year Justinia, the wife of a fallen teacher, had opened a school here, and held daily services with the women and children. She came to Losap and got our promise to spend Sunday with them, then went home to get the people ready. We found the rubbish about the church cleared away, a neat path from the sea shore, and the people washed and dressed. It was Saturday, 2 p.m., when we arrived: There is a good church building 2(1x10 with puncheon sides and floor. Only one man could be found who had not fallen away; but through the faithful work of Justinia a large number came forward as candidates for baptism. The Losap teacher and deacons were set over this weak church. Parents wanted their children baptized. I told them to bring them in and we would name them so as to save time on the morrow. They ran out to bring them in—little naked brownies with bright black eyes, seeming ghv of us; boys and girls of various ages, acting like babies in our own part of the world, brought one by one to be named anil legistered. No mother knew the age of her own babe. After we had exhausted our knowledge of Scripture names, we had to fall back on such names as Jane, Kate, Tom and Ned. On Sunday we held three services, at which 35 candidates were received into the church, and 15 babies baptized. Then Mrs. Logan held a service with the women, which she thought was profitable. In no place have the women shown a more marked interest than here. Just before service in the morning we had an interesting object lesson. I had told them that they must take the rings out of their ears before they could partake of the sacrament, and that they must put clothing on their babies before they were baptized. I did not think it quite in taste to baptize naked children, however novel it might be. The babies were provided for by dint of much effort, but I noticed they had not taken out their rings. I arose and told them they must attend to this matter before the communion would be given them. Some were inclined to rebel at first, but after a time all fell into line. This doing was worth hearing any number of sermons. In the afternoon we had a good meeting, about 200 being preseut, many being from Losap, and many were moved by the truth. After the service was over, I went down and talked to the men. One man much interested me, large, with strong face and heavy beard, THE FRIEND. and superior bearing.

They are not much moved by the fear of hell nor the hope of heaven. They want to make the world better, and to do it now. They would avoid sin because it degrades character. They do not much emphasize a dread of the wrath of God because of sin, etc. We have not written these things for the sake either of congratulation or criticism, but to point out what appears to be the present attitude of the churches." A correspondent of the Pacific strong ly commends this attitude of the churches. He says: " That the clergy who teach, and the church which learns, do not think now about the wrath oi God, about heaven and hell, about retribution and reward, as in days of yore." He says much more that is important and true as to the change in religious thought, and the value of such change. Our sympathies are stiongly with much in this change, and the real progress involved, and with the greater efficiency given thereby to the work of saving men by bringing them to God in Jesus Christ. At the same time, as in all periods of change, errors and excess es appear.

Death of Warren Goodale. Mr. Goodale was, from thirty to fifty ye*rs ago, one of the prominent and most esteemed citizens of Honolulu. For many years he had resided on Maui and Hawaii. Visiting his former home, he was suddenly called from earth among old scenes and old friends. Warren Goodale was born at Marlborough Mass., July 2, 1826, a scion of fne Oddest and worthiest families of that tOwn. His father was Deacon Goodale, a brother of the late pioneer missionary, Mrs. Lucy Goodale Thurston. Warren, iVtien near the close of his college course at Williams, was compelled to leave by weakness of the eyes. He came out to H'Otlorulu before ihe mast in the ship Minstrel, arriving here in lnt7. He Was speedily employed by Mr. Amos F. Cooke in the Royal School for young chiefs, where he won ihe esteem of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, and formed a strong attachment to the young chiefs, particularly for Alexander Liholiho, afterwards Kamehameha IV. Mr. Goodale was one of the active •urveyors employed in the general allot- ment of lands, and was for some time Connected with the Interior office. He Visited his home in 185.', when he was united to the very lovely woman to Whom he had long been betrothed. The ybung couple arrived here late in 1862, and soon united by letter with the newly organized Fort Street Church. Mr. Goodale resumed his place in the Inte rl6r office. He was subsequently appointed Marshal of the Kingdom. Upon the resignation of C. R. Bishop, he became Collector of Customs, which Office he held for many years. After the death of his wife in 1862, he went to the Stares, where he entered the army, Serving for eleven months as captain of a cbmpany until the close of the war. He subsequently returned to these islands, finding employment as manager upon different sugar plantations. He lately retired from active life and lived with his son, William W Goodale. the manager of the Papaikou plantation, near Hilo. He had latterly been suffering from disease of the heart. On the evening of the 20th ult. Mr. Goodale attended the monthly meeting ol the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society at He was cheerful and Judd's. interested, although manifestly eeply suffering from his malady. He had been the third President of the Society Justice inW4. He was out for the last time on the evening of Washington's birthday, at a meeting of tHe Sons of the American Revolution, at the house of P. C. Jones. He there conversed heartily, and seemed in excellent spirits. Just before taking his leave at 11:10 p.m. Mr. W. R. Castle alluded to the close vicinity of his old home in adjoining premises. This seemed to strike tender thoughts. He left the house, but in a few moments a messenger brought word that Mr. Goodale had fallen dead at the corner of Nuuanu street —not three hundred feet from where his wife died thirty five years before. Our brother was a man of the purest and noblest character. Unblemished, without enemies or detractors, greatly beloved, he also was an earnest follower of the Savior, and has departed from earth with an assured hope of eternal life The funeral was held on the 24th 11 It. in Central Union Church, the Masonic boclies attending the remains to the Nuuanu cemetery, and conducting the closing exercises. Besides the son with his family at Papaikou, Mr. Goodale left two sons in Montana, and two daughters in Massachusetts A sister is the wife of Mr. George Beckwith of Haiku, Maui. Mrs. Persis G. Taylor and other descendants of Mrs. Lucy Thurston also reside here. Mr. Goodale's last labor wasuponthe preparation of Reminiscenses of Old Honolulu for the Historical Society, having dictated to a type-writer for ■everal hours in the afternoon. The Gown in the Pulpit. About the gown, we side with Mr. Home and the Outlook in the following paragraph. Italics are ours. For "ritualism," better say "sacerdotalism." As a result, we believe, of a paper read before the recent meeting of the Congregational Union at Leicester, a discussion has been in progress in the columns of the "Christian World" on "Worship in the Noncomformist Churches." The paper was presented by Dr. Barrett, the well-known pastor of Norwich, and advo cated the use i.l a modified liturgy and the wearing of a gown. The argumtnt, in brief, is this: The strain on the minister which a service of entirely free prayer involves is altogether too great. Hither the service of worship or the sermon must suffer. The immense relief which the introduction ol the servicebook has brought to the ministry of the Scottish Kirk was used as an illustration. The discussion has also had larger bear ings. It has led to an earnest appeal for greater reverence in the sanctuary, for the lifting of every department of worship to a higher level, and for the popularizing of the service by giving the people a larger share in it. One of the best articles of the discussion was that of the Rev. Silvester Home, in which he drew a sharp distinction between using a [March, 1897. liturgy and wearing a gown. The using of the liturgy, he dtclared, was entirely democratic and Congregational. Instead of making the service more select, it induces a larger number of people to take part in it; whereas the wearing of a gown emphasizes the distinction between the clergy and the laity, and is really the beginning ofritualism. With the desire to popularize and make more reverent the service we are in hearty accord. Whatever will induce the people to have a larger share in it and more reverently to worship God is earnestly to be commended. The distinction which Mr. Home makes is a true one. A liturgy is a step toward congregationalizing the worship, but the wearing of a gown has always seemed to us to be more than an appropriate pulpit dress and actually a badge of office. Whatever serves to interest the people in the whole service is a step in advance, but whatever tends to mak.- the minister an official is to our minds a step backwards.— The Outlook. Visit of John R. Mott. Honolulu has been greatly favored by a fortnight's sojourn among us ola man of such rare spiritual endowment and gift of utterance, as John R Mott, the Secretary of the World's Students' Christian Federation. Our spirits have been greatly refreshed and kindled by his earnest and stirring words. Mr. Mott is near the end of a two years tour around the globe, with his wife, visiting the leading mission stations in Turkey. Fgypt, India, Japan and China, also colleges in Australia. His task has been to carry into Christian colleges and seminaries in those countries, the enthusiastic missionary movement which began ten years ago in the col leges ol the United States, and had extended with power to those of Canada Great Britain, and latterly to the Conti nent. Mr. Mott reports over five thousand students as having pledged thtmselves, God willing, to become fore'gn missionaries, of whom over one thousand are already in foreign fields. The organization has now become International. Mr. Mott does not boast of what he has accomplished, but he manifestly carries a wonderfully inspiring power to the hearts of Christian believers, and we expect to hear of very important results of his work in stimu- lating evangelistic activity especially among Christian students in countries like Japan and India. In a union meeting February 14th at Central Union Church, Mr. Mott made almost startling statements about the recent progress of Christian faith in American colleges. In less thau twenty years thirty thousand skeptical students have come to accept Christianity. Last �year three thousand four hundred were added to the list. Over four thousand students have been led into the ministry by the Christian societies in the colleges. Vale has six hundred in its Y. M. C. A. and two hundred in the voluntary Bible classes. Twelve yeirs ago Cornell w.is called godless. Then a Y. M. C. A. was st.rted with thirty members, now increased to five hundred, with two hundred in voluntary Bible cltsses, in which seven professors are teaching. Thirty last year gave up skepticism and accepted Christianity. In England the Inter-collegiate Christian movement was started three years ago, and the number of societies h.is increased from seventeen to sixty. Cambridge has thirty Bible classes. In 1894, sixty students in Oxford accepted Christianity, and one hundred in Cambridge. At Edinburgh University more skeptical students had accepted the Bible in the eighteen months preceding the speaker's visit than in the entire previous history of the institution. Most of them, too, were students of science. All but one of the twelve greatest living scientists of England are Christian men. This movement is already making great progress in the German universities. There are five Christian societies in the University of Berlin. The same movement is active in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. A World's Federation of these Christian College Societies was organized at a convention held in Sweden. The general object is to carry on among students of all countries of the world the study of the Bible; to teach Christ; and to build up and send men out of the colleges and universities to work for Christianity. During his visit Mr. Mott made pow. erful addresses to the students of Oahu College, and those of the Kamehameha Schools. One of his best and most important talks was given in the Methodist Church upon Secret Prayer. Those who listened seemed to be led into a clear contemplation of the glorious pos sibilities of rich and fruitful communion with God, and of receiving luminous and kindling understanding of Holy Writ, by means of systematic and devoted application to such spiritual exercise. The speaker is manifestly one who enjoys great calmness and fulness of Power from this Divine source. It is not to be doubted that many of our Christian people will have been incited to earnest and sustained effort to live nearer to God, and that they will thus develop increased spiritual power for work. Mr. Mott is evidently much worn by his labors, and needs recuperation. He is young and it may be hoped has many years of strength and fruitful activity before him. He sailed for the States on the 25th of February. 19 THE FRIEND Vol. 55, No. 3.] President Jordan---A "bad Break." Growth of Hilo Town. Dr. Jordan of Stanford University has spoken unwisely. He said "The so called revival of religion too often aims at producing a temporary mania. * Its phenomena are those of hysteria or cataleptic insanity. They repre sent a form of intoxication that is real drunkenness, and no more worthy of respect than the drunkenness of the gutter." There may be a class of spurious revivals -we have heard of such to which those words might possibly apply with putial truth. We have witnessed a number of revivals at diffeient times and places, to none of which such application could be possible. They were all characterised by the profoundest seriousness and good order—at the same time by intense emotion. The Power oi the Holy Ghost was manifest in them. As a class, the persons converted to Christ in these revivals became Christians ot high character and established piety. The churches enjoying these seasons of grace became better and stronger, more enlightened, more disciplined in good Many evidences reach us, evidencing the progress of a somewhat active and solid growth ot Hilo town, resulting mainly from the healthy agricultural development of coffee and sugar interests, in that region.

Dr. Jordan's words call to mind that skeptical utterance at Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2:13, "But others mocking said, They are filled with new wine." Since the above was in type, the following statement by Dr. Jordan has been met with : "I have never denied the helpfulness of soberly conducted revivals in which the purpose was that ot forming a Christian ideal of character. In my talk at Berkeley I had in mind solely what Dr Dille has called "The orgies of Mrs. Woodworth's followers.'' * * With the madness of these scenes religion has nothing to do."

The Manhattan Liberal Club challenged Mr. Moody to debate the relative merits of Christianity and infidelity with two leading secularists. In declining, Mr Moody gave, among others, this reason: "The times call for action, not discussion. Hundreds and thousands of men and women are dropping into drunkard's and harlot's graves every year here in New York. Now let us all join hands and try to do what we can to save them. I will try to reach them with the gospel. I will tell them of a Savior who came to seek that which was lost, who died a cruel death on the cross in order that their sins might be blotted out. If there is any merit in infidelity let your members likewise put it into practice. Let them reach out a helping hand to those unfortunates who are sunk in vice and misery. Then, when they are restored to purity of life, we shall have time to turn aside to discussion." This reply was a "body blow." What drunkard, or poor lost woman was ever reformed by infidelity? In all the ages not one.— The Pacific. Cession of Pearl Harbor Conterminous with Treaty of Reciprocity. Professor W. D. Alexander has lately refreshed the public memory by reciting the circumstances attending the cession of Pearl Harbor to the United States as a Naval Station, in December, 1884, showing that Secretary Bayard at that time informed Mr. H. A. P. Carter, the Hawaiian Minister, that he could discern in the amendment to the Treaty, which related to Pearl Harbor, "no subtraction from Hawaiian Sovereignty over the harbor to which it relates, nor any language importing a longer duration for the interpolated Article 11. (relating to the Harbor) than is provided for in Article I. of the Supplementary Convention." The Supplementary Convention was ratified by the Hawaiian Government with that understanding, that the righ.t of the United States to Pearl Harbor should end with the Treaty of Reciprocity. It follows that should the United States terminate that Treaty, and refuse Annexation, they would no longer possess any special privileges in Hawaii. �Vol. 55, No. 3.] Japanese Interest in Hawaii. It is learned from the Consul General of Japan, that his Government will soon station a war-vessel permanently in this harbor. Since Japan has 2>,000 subjects residing in Hawaii constituting 23 per cent of our population, it cannot be deemed improper that such a ship should remain here to aid in watching over their interests. At the same time it has somewhat of a menacing suggestion, and isquite in the line of the policy attributed to Japan, of aiming at a paramount influence in Hawaii, if not at the ultimate possession of the group. It is plain that this group would be of the gieatest value to anypower aiming, as Japan manifestly does, at navaland commercial superiority in the Pacific. It can hardly be doubted, however, that the United States intend to reserve that advantage to themselves. Liliuokalani in Washington. As anticipated in the January issue of The Friend, the ex-queen has been in Washington apparently for some political object. President and Mrs. Cleveland have accorded to her friendly interviews. The President owed her at least so much, after the position he took over three years ago. Perhaps Liliuokalani will have claimed more from him. The latest news is that she has publicly repudiated the abdication which she formally executed two years ago. We here are waiting for confirmation of that intelligence, and for farther indicationof her intentions. Comment is useless until more is known. In the meantime it may be said that she does the public a service by drawing attention to the Hawaiian question. Hawaiian Statesmen in Washington. Attorney-General Wm. O. Smith left for Washington February I Oth, to instruct and co operate with Minister Hatch, in respect to a possible early action of Congress upon the Annexation of Hawaii. Gen. A. S. Hartwell also went thither on the 7th, and Mr. Lorrin A Thurston on the 4th. There is thus present in Washington doubtless by this time a strong quartette of representative Hawaiians, who will do all that can be doneto promote the cause of Annexation. Messrs Hartwell and Thurston went as private individuals. THE FRIEND 21 tance as likely to replace the present awarded to Mr. A. Harrison for the sum system of Contract labor on our sugar plantations. Profit sharing has already been successfully tried at Onomea, the largest plantation on Hawaii. From ihe year's profits, ten per cent is deducted as interest on capital. Of the remaining ninety per cent, one filth is divided among all the employees pro rata with their monthly wages. The dividend thus made to employers fol several years has averaged a sum equal to one month's wages. The effect has been excellent, in increasing the diligence and carefulness of the laborers. Another system, more properly called co-operative labor, has been successful on Ewa Plantation. Sections of land are assigned to different companies of laborers, who received a fixed sum per ton of cane yielded. The plantation plants the cane, and furnishes water for irrigation. Mr. Jones expressed a decided opinion that the climate of these islands "was much more favorable to the labor of white men in the field, than the summer climate of the United Stales. He believed that a general adoption of Profit sharing would attract white men in large numbers to Hawaii, and would solve the difficulties of the Labor question. Death of the Outlaw Leper Koolau. This unhappy fugitive in the recesses of Kalalau valley, who killed Sheriff Stolz and three soldiers, died some months ago. His grave was lately found by Sheriff Coney, and the remains identified by the contents of the coffin. There were in it two guns which were positively identified as those of the outlaw. But for an insane fury, Koolau might now be living happily among his fellow lepers at their delightful asylum on Molokai. Hospital at Hilo. Plans are reported as complete for the speedy erection of a Hospital at Hilo by the Government, the building to cost $:',500. The plan has in view future enlargements by addition to the length of the building. RECOE D F VENTS. Feb.

The desire of our Japanese friends to secure an education for their children who are growing up on Hawaiian soil, is a most hopeful sign. They find that if neglected some of their children will speak a patois consisting in some cases of a mixture of the Hawaiian, English, Portuguese, Chinese and Japanese languages. Such children will be unable to read or write any language. Persons growing up with such a mixture on their tongues could never rank among cultivated people in their native land. To avert such a disaster,, under the lead of our faithful evangelists, in several of our communities, distinctively Japanese The Waialua church is thinking of calling the Rev. J. M. Ezera of Kwa. The death of Mr. J. Haole of the leper settlement occurred Feb. llth. He was a good man and possessed of marked traits of character. Uncompromising in his opposition to what he believed to be ill-advised or wrong, he lived a restless life and made enemies, buj to those he approved he was a warm and loving friend. We believe that he had an unusual regard for the truth. He was a native whom we learned to esteem and love. In the following extracts from a letter from Mr. Price we have the latest news from Ruk. The chiet item is that of the removal of the mission station at Anapauo on the island of Ucla, to Kinamue on the island of Taloes. The large island of Ucla being the one nearest on the east to the northern entrance to the Ruk lagoon, or group of islands, the island of Taloes lies nrxt to it. "Soon after our return from Ponape I The Japanese at Honomu, in North went over to Kutue on the island of TaHilo, having, through the energy of our loes to hold a service with the people started. schools have In the lot on Kukui street, adjoining the parsonage, the Japanese ot Honolulu maintain, at their own expense, a flourising afternoon school of thirty five scholars; the most of them being children who have graduated from the Kindergarten, and who are, during the forenoon, studying the English language in the government common schools. to Dr. Smith 23 that I had been visiting bi monthly for nearly two years. As we neared the land one of my boys pointer! out a place oil shore where lie said Mr. I.ogan had once thought of locating the mission and was prevented from doing so by the hostility oi a certain chief who was now dead. It w.is a little peninsula on the north eastern part of the island and one which I had coveted for h mission house but had not supposed that it was available. 1 at once began inquiries about it with the rt-sult that the people offered Die tin- land as I wanted, and that without any pay. for a mission location and they said to nic as I walked with them over the land: 'If you want to come hither Mr. Price, come, for we all want you.' I did not take their land withont pay. I thought best to pay them. This then was one result of the patient work.of two ye.us in the place, namely, the opening of this place, so desirable for a mission location in a time ol need. After consulting with the mission I at once made preparations for securing tin land and moving the mission buildings. We now have a deed for the property approved and stamped by the agent of the Spanish Government. Mr. Bowker was with us and was at once engaged to help us. Chas. Gierow, a German trader also promised his assistance and at once set to work. Within a few weeks we had Capt. Poster's house moved and he living in it. Our house Was torn down next and brought over. Then we bewail on the Girls' school building and at this writing all the lum„ber of that laige building is on the site selected and the foundation for the structure laid. To write this seems but a small thing, but it involved an amount ot work of the heaviest kind and anxiety which you can little realize. All the timbers and boards had to be carried to the sea shore and built into rafts whence it was towed to the schooner and put on board. .And then it had to be rafted ashore at Kutua and carried a long distance up the hill on which our buildings are located. This work was all done by natives ol Taloas, for the Ucla people were angry at our coming away and would do nothing to help us off. The present occupant of the Logan Lease threatened ;o prevent our going but made no movement beyond a little talk which, owing to the good sense of the natives, amounted to nothing. With relerence to our work here in Kutua nothing could be more pleasant and give greater evidence of prosperity than it does at present. The work is new and novel to the people and has been altogether and only pleasant. It was such a relief, as few who have not been similarly situated can realize, to get away from the atmosphere of Anapauo into this delightful work where all things are congenial and where there is but one heart and mind with reference to it. We have no church building and we have had to improvise a place for meetings, �but we have had a good attendance on all our services and one by one the people have put away their heathen ways and taken on the new life. When we came here there was hardy a person that was* decently dressed and our audiences were almost entirely untouched heathen. Gradually a change came over them. By some means they got hold of clothes and now we have a well dressed company at service every Sunday. This means more than appears on the face of it, for when a heathen man consents to cut his hair, throw away his paint and take the rings out of his ears and give up his tobacco, it means that he has for some reason decided to lead a different life. The attendance at the services on Sunday his ranged from 1 25 to 250, the Sunday School about 130. We have a day school with an enrolled membership of 60, and we have of school boys and young married men who have been received into the boarding school 22, of these 13 are married and have 12 child ren. Then there are in the Girls' school 14, and one young woman who works for Mrs. Price and attends the classes, so that the toial of those in the regular schools is even ftO, and all under daily instruction rtfi. Three of the boys and two of the girls teach in the day school. A work has opened in Elim, jnst across the river on this island and south ot us a short time before our coming hither, and this work has prospered in rather a remarkable way. Eormerly there was a work in this same district on the south shore, aver the hills from us, but it was neglected and allowed to go down. When it was revived it came up rapidly, largely through the energy of the chief Hezekiah, who is really a very good man. Now they have the frame up for a church building and will soon have it enclosed. I should say that there are a dozen men and as many women who have renounced their heath en ways there and are now studying the truth as it is in Jesus. Theodore, one of my boys, has charge of that work, or at least goes there every Sunday morning and teaches them. I shall soon give him the full charge of that field. At present I hold services there every Sun day afternoon. Then a new work has opened since our coming hither at a place of the name of Rere, a thickiy populated district at the head of the river above mentioned. The chief sent me word that he wanted me to come to see him and hold a service with his people. One Sunday afternoon the boys rowed me up the river in the schooner boat, and landed me in a swamp. It was raining and everything was as dismal as could be. It seemed as though the devil was trying to cast a shadow over the place and discourage us from beginning a work there, but we have learned to resist the wiles of the devil in this sort of work and not to be March, 1897, THE FRIEND 24 discouraged at working, and so I asked the boys to lead me to the chiefs house. Along a wet slippery, and tortuous path they led me up the hill side to the house of the chief. It was so dark I could see nothing for some time after crawling on hands and knees through a little hole in the side of the house into the presence of his highness. When my eyes became accustomed to the darkness I saw a few women and children lying around, the chief sitting on a mat with his hands on his knees looking as stolid as a Micronesian chief can. There was one woman who had attended the service at Kutua and had formerly been a professing Christian and who, I afterwards learned, was the chiefs sister She was a coarse, vulgar woman with an unusually debased face, but she could read and knew considerable about Christian truths. It is hard to believe, yet it seems to be true, that this woman had influenced her brother to send for the missionary and hear the truth from him. Here as everywhere, God uses the best agents at his command. Something good in the heart of this vulgar woman induced her to want the Christian religion in her tribe. The chief was a very pleasant looking young man, and evidently a man ot peace. His answers to my questions snowed an unusual degree of intelligence and appreciation of the value of the church. He said that he did not want his people to live in darkness, that he did not approve of war and the dance, and that he wanted to have eternal life through Jesus. I asked him if he understood that my coming meant that his people would be reproved for their sins and that I would not even spare him, the chief, if he sinned against God and held on to heathen ways. He said he understood that and he wanted me to teach and reprove his people and himself, for they wanted to learn the right way and walk in it. ( To he Continued.) violent wind of that section. We somewhat doubt the success of overcoming that difficulty. All accounts indicate success and prosperity among the large and enter- prising colony of Coffee planters in the district of Olaa on the Volcano Road. It will be of interest to secure a careful comparison of the relative qualities of the berries grown in the wet climate of Olaa, and those from the drier land of Kona. Both are fresh volcanic soils. Presumably, Kona coffee will be the finest in Savor. Olaa may yield the heaviest crops. A Possible Investigation. There are some indications that Liliuokalani, who has much persistence, may succeed in re-opening her former claim for redress from the United States, for her alleged dethronement by the agency of United States naval forces. Should her efforts result in a Commission of Inquiry being sent to Hawaii, we shall have the satisfaction of a public and open investigation of the subject instead of Blount's secret and ex parte shyster work. Such an inquiry will be extremely welcome to the Hawaiian government and their friends, although the subject matter is somewhat old to be threshed over again, after the conclusive Report of the Senate Committee in February, IHU4, which dismissed the false allegation.
