New Year Reflections.
E)ur
new year of '97 has come in
iling after the storm. May this be a
sage of better days for Hawaii after
disquiet of the past decade.
May our readers all enter the new
year with high and joyful resolve to
make a good record of duty and service.
Let us live consciously under the clear
and loving eye of God, who sorrows for
our sins and rejoices in our efforts to
JANUARY.
corresponding to ours in native faculty,
and in receptive sensibility, tho marred
by no evil inclinations, no hidden tendencies to wrong wailing development; a
life subject, like ours, to laws of growth,
and dependent, like ours, on conditions
of culture; needing the ministry of
human tuition, and the silent discipline
of the Divine training, while always
answering to both with a purity and
wisdom elsewhere unapproached; a life
exemplary to the world, tho and because
celestial suggestions breathe upon it. It
is a child life, which serenely and unobtrusively appears, indicating that life
as honored in the heavens, and lilting
our hearts to the sun: expectation that
infants beloved, going forth from our
households, shall be instantaneously
welcomed and at home in the supreme
realms. A glory falls thus on the Inn
and the Manger, which belongs to no
cradle of princes in palaces, to no purple
chambers in which imperial life was be
gun; while, at the same time, the midand shining
mj,ht song, and the
angelic companies, swift and worshipful,
reveal the illustrious levels of life from
which this child-life has come forth, and
toward which evermore afterward it
tends. Some men stumble, while others
adore, before the miracle of the Advent.
Except for that miracle, the birth of a
common Jewish babe in a village of
Judea would have been among the most
insignificant of events in the annals of
mankind. With that, and through it.
the heavens become proximate, lumi
nous, .illuring, to the heart of the world.

and cakes were served by a number of
Kamc-hameha students. A Christmas
tree in the corner was then uncurtained,
decorated with tapers and strings of
popcorn. A large quantity of presents
were distributed. A great amount of
successful work has been done in Palama

Is Football a Brutal Game?
It is seriously contended by several ol

Interior goes so far as to maintain that
Boxing matches are decent in comparj
son. Is this so?
It seems to us to show a lack of due
discrimination. The essence of a boxing
match is violence. It consists entirely
in the two men administering to each

one of them succumbs, being overcome
by the punishment received from the
weight and force of the other.man's lists.
Brutal violence is the essence o! the
game The delight of the spectators is
found in observing the destructivi
of the blows upon the human frame.
Whatever injurious violence occurs in
football is accidental, and not at all of

players, it is not a legitimate part ol the
game. Here is a proper question: Is
the nature of the game such that the
tendency to injurious violence is too
strong to be resisted by human nature
as found in college students? If so the
game should be prohibited as dangerous
and brutalizing. Again, Is it not practi
cable to make rules checking the evil

the side so injured?
It is held by friends of the gann
with apparent force of truth, that it is

qualities of courage, alertness, and lis

injurious incidental to the game BO great
and frequent as to he too high a price to

Facts from the Census.
It is found that the entire population
of the Hawaiian group has increased
from 89,990 in 1890, to 109,009 m Mid,
or over 11 percent.
There are 7U.510 males to 36,494

Why should they desire it? The answel is, because the native Hawaiians,
than any other class, need the
protection pi the United .States against
the overbearing force ol the stronger
races who outnumber them. The
Polynesian is relatively B very weak race,
as compared with Europeans and Monnt
gooids. and need a Strong protection.
What is likely to be the status of the
Hawaiian, should the Islands continue
as now, .t nominally independent government? There would continue to be a
painful conflict between the sentimental
claim of the natives to rule as being the
original owners ol the country, and the
practical neci ssity that the capable white
race should do the ruling. The whites
will have to rule, and will rule, whatever
Hawaiian sentiment may call for, simply
because the latter is incapable of handling the needs and exigencies of the
civilization and commerce of this great
central station of the glowing Pacific
traffic.
Unless the Hawaiian should cordially
submit to take a back seat, which is
unlikely, the ceitain tendency will be for
the whites to force him back by the
strong hand, to the serious detriment of
his fl am Inses and i lghts. The stronger
and dominant nice will certainly tolerate

because in exchange for this acquired
dignity and protection, the Hawaiian
will have absolutely surrendered and
lost all claim of exclusive right to rule,
which has hitherto created collision, in
which the native fares the worst.
By all means let every true friend of
the natives counsel them to seek shelter
in the safe harbor of citizenship in the
Great Union. They are a kindly and
gentle, but a weak and wasting race,
unfit to breast the storms of this open
and tempestuous sea of so-called Inde
pendence. Whatever might befall the
stronger races in Hawaii, the natives will
be sure to go under in the conflict.
The Boston Sunday Post, prints
a
preposterous story about the intention
of the Princess Kaiulani Cleghorn to
come to Hawaii and starve herself as a
propitiation to the fire goddess Pele.
Miss Cleghorn is known as an estimable
and sensible young lady, worthy of her
ten years choice Christian training in
England, whither she was wisely re
moved in childhood, away from the
hideous impurities and sorceries of her
uncle Kalakaua's court, which ruined so
many thousands of youthful Hawaiians
of both sexes. The young Princess may
be presumed to be entirely free from the
degrading superstition imputed to her.
New Church at Lahaina.
Hon. Henry P. Baldwin of Maui has
caused his father's old church at Lahaina
to be replaced by an elegant modern
structure costing about $10,000. The
main auditorium is 40 by 66 feet, with
gallery at the rear end. The roof is
steep pitched with low eaves.
The old Wainee church which this
replaces was burned about three years
ago. It was a massive stone structure,
built in 1831 when Rev. William Rich
ards was the resident missionary. Rev.
Dwight Baldwin M. D. succeeded him
in 1836, and preached in the old church
for 36 years. The native population of
Lahaina has declined from 4000 to a
few hundreds. The town has become
mainly absorbed by a prosperous sugar
plantation. The magnificent beach and
delicious sea breeze indicate a future
for Lahaina as a health resort. It was
the favourite residence of Royalty fifty
and sixty years ago. From 1830 to IrSGO
its beautiful roadstead was the resort of

Hand Book and Strangers' Guide to the
City of Honolulu and Vicinity.
FBRAYNK GODFREY.
There has long been needed information in a compact form, serviceable to
passengers in transit, to enable them to
put in their few hours on shore in sightseeing
to the best advantage. The
above named handbook will serve this
purpose. It aiso contains a good
amount ot general and precise informa
tion about these islands. The book
contains 8«i pages, including 32 pages
of advertisements, and eight pages of
illustrations. The information given is
accurate, as might he expected from the
very experienced compiler.
The only error noticed is in the first
paragraph which says,"The Hawaiians
are supposed to be of Aryan stock migrating from Asia Minor." For "Aryan"
put " Malaysian," and "Asia Minor"
put Farther India." Physiognomy
distinguishes Polynesians from Aryans
as markedly as from Mongolians, but
identifies them as congeners of interior
tribes of Sumatra who are free from that
Mongoloid mixture of blood, which has
altered most of the Malay tribes.

In Memoriam.
On the 30th of last June, at Hutai lt.ti i.
Rev. J. W. Kanoa, the first Hawaiian
missionary to the Gilbert Islands entered
into his eternal rest after the longest residence of any evangelist m Micronesia,
He was born in Kehena, a small village
on the rocky coast of Puna, Hawaii, in
1823. He received his education principally in Hilo. Here he early won the
respect and confidence of his teachers.
Zealous to have a share in the new en
terprise of carrying the gospel to the
benighted heathen of the regions beyond,
he was appointed a missionary to Micronesia by the Hawaiian Misi
Society in 1855. At the parting exer
cises, held in the evening before sailing
in the old Bethel, he stated the reason
for his going. "The Friend" foi June,
1866, reports his words as follows, "The
cause of my going out on this mission
is on account of very exceeding great
debt to the kingdom of God. 1 have
land and cattle and horses and parents
and brethren, and I have looked on all
these things, but they will not cancel
my debt: therefore I give my whole body
and soul without reserve for their salva.

these. He sailed on the 24th of May of
that year, from Honolulu, with his wife
Kaholo, and a young son, for Kusaie,

afforded the missionary party an opportunity to gain some acquaintance with
the inhabitants of these two groups. In
the course of the cruise aho-.it two weeks
were spent on shore by them at Apaiang,
Where they met sonic of tin high chiefs,

there in l!S. >7, when the Morning Star
arrived, The writer then met hun for
the first time. Two Gilbert Islanders,
Marie and his wife, Tekaoti, had been
providentially picked up, when adrift at
sea, by a Vessel, and had been landed
on Kusaie.
From them Kanoa and his
wife had learned a few Gilhertese words
and sentences, with the hope thai
day they might be permitted to carry
the Gospel to the Gilbert Islands. On

Bingham and myself were designated
by the Micronesian Mission, convened
at Ponape, to cninineiice the work m

Mr. and Mrs. Kanoa were designated to
the same field, and on the 18th ol
November, 1857, we landed at the cap

old king, Teniaua. and his popular and
powerful son. Kaiea, and that day we

the lit st public services held in Gilbertese, June 27, 1858. On this occasion
Kanoa aided in speaking. On Apaiang
we labored side by side, hand in hand,
shoulder to shoulder, until June, lstil,
when failing health compelled me to

Mr. Eganu, of Waihee and Wailuku,
writes: "Last Sunday (Nov. if>th), Dr.
E. G. Beekwith gave most solemn bap
tism to four (Japanese). There were
ten seekers, and six were asked to wait
for further experience."
Mr. Uyeda, pastor of the Japanese
church in Hilo, Hawaii, reports that
since he began work a little over a year
ago, he had baptized 23 persons, three
of them being women, all of whom have
united with the church. Mrs. Uyeda
assists him in his parish work.
Mr. S. Sokabe, who has for three
years been stationed as the Japanese
pastor at Honomu, Hawaii, goes by the
China back to Japan for a short visit of
two months to his home. Mr. Sokabe's
parish comprises the three plantations
of Hakalau, Honomu and Pepeekeo,
where is a total of about 1350 Japanese
laborers.
At Honomu the profit sharing system
is in operation. Mr. Sokabe represents
his countrymen on these plantations as
having "much contentment," and also
"much sake and gambling." The Sunday meetings are held at the chapel,
which is in the central district, but there
are weekly schools established in two
adjoining districts. Mr. Sokabe reports
quite a number of Japanese families and
about twenty five children. It is his
purpose to establish a kindergarten for
them. He goes to Japan with the hope
of returning with his sister as the

mark for the future.
With the close of the year just passed
the Rev. J. Waiamau closed his pastorate at the Kaumakapili church. This
he was obliged to do because of HI
health. This pastorate, immediately
succeeding that ol the Rev. If. Kuaea,
and continuing for fourteen years, has
by no means been a tranquil one, for il
came in a time of much agitation, pollti
cal and otherwise. No Hawaiian pastor
ever filled a more difficult position, and
it may be added that probably none
could have filled the place so well. It
was during the pastorate of Mr. Waia
mau that the new house of worship was
built.
By vote of the Oahu Association,
taken at a special meeting held Dec.
•28th ('96), Rev. O. H.Gulick is appointed
to act temporarily as pastor till the
church can be freed from debt and a
new man called to the pastorate. The
Rev. E. S. Timoteo, chairman of the
Pastors' Aid Committee of the Association, has undertaken to raise the debt of
the church. His energetic action has
already secured pledges very nearlyequal to the amount necessary to pay

morals and religion participated only as

morals and religion facilitate the discovery of a star, or a law in nature, or
even the achievement of a great national

not so manifest until it is considered in
the light shed upon it by religion and

well as of the grassy slopes and shrub

of the rooms and sleeping apaitments is
excellent, and I understand now how it
is that our Kanaken [native preachers
and teachers], even after years of absence,
look back to these scenes of their youthful
training as to a paradise, and show their
gratitude for these pleasant recollections
by strong attachment to the mission.
To all the rest is to be added the abundance of fruit trees and luxuries of which
we know nothing in Jaluit, such as clear
spring water, fresh milk, and fresh butter.
"In short, it must be acknowledged
that, with .he help of the magnificent
natural advantages of Kusaie, the leaders
of the mission have done everything to
make the stay of their pupils with them
and their education pleasant. The instruction, too, is given in an earnest,
judicious manner, and the female teachers especially made a most favorable impression by their strict and yet friendly
demeanor toward the girls. The neat
dresses of the pupils, their unconstrained
joyousness, and their healthy appearance
show that careful attention is paid to
their physical well-being."

The following interesting report

was
read among the reports before the Central Union Church, by Mr. Frank W.
Damon, Superintendent of the Chinese
Mission.
It is not the object of this brief report
to outline the general work of the Chinese
Mission, which in all its departments,
receives, through the Hawaiian Board,
such kind and generous aid from this
church. This will be done in the report
made annually to theBoard. I will here,
however, make special notice of the good
work of our different Chinese Sabbath
schools, which an appropriation from
this church aids us materially in
accomplishing. Through this, we arc
enabled, in part, to furnish wtekly our
Sabbath schools with illustrated papers

He is now on his way home from an extended tour in the South Pacific, in
Company with his brother S. T. Alexander. The brothers spent a month in the
Marquesas, among whose cannibals their
partnts passed six months as missionaries in 1H:.;.. They also visited Tahiti,
Raiatea, the Hervey and Cook groups,
Tonga, and New Zealand. James visited
Samoa on his return, Sam'l having gone
on with his daughter to Sydney, Brisbane, Java and Japan.
Mr. Alexander's previous thorough
study of the object of his travels gave
him a great advantage, not less than his
birth and long residence in Hawaii, and
consequent familiarity with the Polynesian tongue, common to the aborigines
of all the groups visited. On Sunday the
17th, in Central Union Church, Mr.
Alexander lectured upon the state of religion in the South Sea Islands, taking
for his text Isaiah 55:1 3, "Instead of the
thorn shall come up the fir-tree, and
instead of the briar the myrtle-tree: and
it shall be to the Lord for a name, for
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut
off."
This prophecy the speaker showed to
have been notably fulfilled in the results
of Gospel labors begun a century ago in
the South Pacific bythe London Missionary Society. The fruits of those labors
are especially prosperous in Rarotonga,
Aitutaki, and Tonga, which have not
been ravaged by the detrimental influen
ces of commerce. There the social older
is excellent and the population is increasing. Even in Samoa where the pressure
of foreign influences is severe, the good
work of the Gospel continues to prosper.
In Tonga, the public good order is excellent. The people are all settled upon

The condition of the Marquesas Islands has always been deplorable, and
continues so under the French rule,
which had prevented continuance of
work by the London Missionary Society,
although three Hawaiian missionaries
had continued to labor in a humble, but
faithful manner. The treatment of the
natives by the gens d'armes is violent
and oppressive. They are a stalwart
race, apparently averaging six feet in
height. The beautiful valleys are numerous and fertile, capable of supporting ten
times their present population, wasted
by pestilences. Some of the nuns are
most devoted women, but a majority of
of them are doing good work in schools,
which are required to be taught in the
French language. They have learned
this in Tahiti. Each of these veteran
laborers has a large number of natives
under their personal influence and joining in their worship. They were most
affectingly delighted at the visit from the
sons of their old teacher at Lahainaluna.

us a very clear and accurate analysis of

Perhaps that will be what is needed.
Such motors are favorably reported on
in New York and other cities. For our
narrow streets crowded with telephone
and electric light wires, the addition of
trolley-wires for electric motors seems
impracticable. The need is fast increas
ing of an improvement upon the present
system of mule traction for street cars in
Honolulu. A door of hope seems opening in the use of compressed air.

non est. The Matalanmi, and Mants
tribes, are specially ctger for a supply.
During the outbreak in Matalanim, all
books were burnt up by the Spanish
soldiery, consequently they need a fresh
supply. On the Hth of September last
all Christian friends were invited to attend the dedication of a new Protestant
Church which has just been built in
Matalanim; there was indeed a good attendance, christians from all parts of the
island came to offer up their devotions
to God. It was truly a yrand and solemn
affair. Our good Christian work still
continues to go or. as hitherto. Our day
and Sunday schools, prayer meetings
&c. are well attended. Of course we
have many drawbacks to contend ag ain.t
in not having an ordained minister to
aid and help us along in our good work,
we can only go so far and no further.
We are however, doing our very best to
keep our people in line; fathers, mothers,
grandmothers and children, read and
study the book, the word of God; and I
verily believe that if they were deprived
of this pleasure and privilege they would
pine away and die off. The Mants and
Matalanim tribes, are also doing good
and effective work. With two such able
christian teachers as William, and
Joseph, good results are inevitable. I
regret to state that our good Governor
has been recalled to Manila. We are
sorry he has gone. He was indeed a
good man, and a good Catholic. His
views of things seemed to be on a much
broader scale than others who have preceded him. He was a very liberal minded man, no bigotry about him, he was
greatly in favor of our cause, and did
all in his power to help us along in our
Christian work. As a matter of course
the priests were exceedingly wroth and
indignant at such revolutionary conduct,
and commenced to stir up and make
trouble for the old gentleman; but he
being made of the right kind of stuff, was
not to be shaken in what he considered
to be right and just. He never in his
life before came in contact with American
missionaries, ladies and gentlemen, and
was almost petrified with astonishment
at their kind hospitality, and affable
maniners. We are sorry he has been
taken away from amongst us. He ruled
wisely and well. May God bless him'is
the earnest wish of all Ponapeans. Our
present Governor is I dare say a good
man too. He is very civil, and very
quiet. I wish to say that Spanish officers bought up a lot of those New
Testaments.
I am Sir,
Yours Sincerely,

Ifehind and beyond the barrier steep, far up to
the stainless sky,
Riseth encircled in shimmering mists the dome of
Hualalai,
And the winding path ol the gods of eld, in its
lazy zigzag creeps
From the kiss of the sibilant sea up the face of
the frowning steeps.
The long beach curves to the south, ablaze with
the dulse and tangle and flowers,
In roae and amber, the sea hath filched from the
depths ol the coral bowers,
And the palm trees swing in the seaborne breeze
o'er the belt of fringing snow
That girds the shore where the foam bells beat
on the beach at Napoopoo.
In the face of the scarped stark clitls that rise
high above the ocean bed,
Are the bom s of warrior kings, and the graves of
the mighty dead.
The sea bird hangs on the beetling cliffs nnd
foldeth his wearied wings,
While the sobbing sea the requiem walls of the
long forgotten kings.
In the days of old when "The Lonely One,"
ruled all with in, iron hand.
The walls echoed back the measured tread of his
men on the beaten strand,
And rang with the deafening noise ol his warriors
gathered for war,
As they shot their canoes with the speed of light
far over the sandy bar,
The waters were all alive with the waits and the
warriors bold
Their helmets shone in the morning sun with the
gleam of burnished gold,
And the sea like the topaz sparkling reflected the
sheen tit the spears
Of the warriors turned to dust, in the lapse of a
hundred years.
Where now is the spear, and the helmet and the
cunningly carved canoe?
Where now is the painted warrior of the days of
the long ago?
Where now is the old kahuna with his idols of
wood and stone?
Vanished anil left no trace behind, as the morning mists have gODC !
Ah! never again shall the war canoe sail in from
the seaward way,
It is only the lonely fisherman now whose shallop
rocks in the bay,
Dozing and dreaming perhaps of the past, and
the days that come back no more,
I.til ed by the son.; the waters sing a.s they leap
on the desolate shore.
The sea weed lilteth its rosy bloom, and swings
on the deep Ma-bar,
And the sea gives a broken image of a ship that
sailed afar;
The cliffs give back but the song of the surf and
the wandering sea bird's cry.
And the smoke of the mokuahi trails athwart the
unclouded sky.

question : " What are our
churches thinking about," the Congregationalism as quoted in a recent number
of The Pacific, gave this answer:
"They are thinking of this world, not
the next. 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

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

He was out for the last time on the

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

years before.

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.

There may be a class of spurious revivals -we have heard of such to which

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

Dr. Jordan's words call to mind that
skeptical utterance at Pentecost, recorded in Acts 2:13, "But others mocking

Since the above was in type, the

been met with :
"I have never denied the helpfulness
of soberly conducted revivals in which

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.

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

which I had coveted for h mission

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

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

been similarly situated can realize, to get
away from the atmosphere of Anapauo

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

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.

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

to endorse us historical verity, because

Jonah is not historical in form, but essentially dramatic. Without assuming
to decide the question, there would

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.

The main building is spacious, with
two stories and ample verandahs. There
are two roomy cottages, one for extra
sick wards, and one for kitchen and

with in at metal cots. There is a fine

of the Reform School, three-fourths of a

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

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.

1811, which is described in pages 53-84.

are of much interest. A native is found

Dr. Abbot's
THE FRIEND.
"Theology
of an Evolutionist."
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.

A series of daily evening and afternoon

The primary object of

regular Methodist doctrine of "Sanctification." Without necessarily accepting
his precise exposition of the life of the

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.
Tlu astronomer, Percival Lowell, has
conclusively settled the long dispute as
to the rotation of Venus. 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 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,

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.

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.

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.

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

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,

that the Work m the Mortlock group has
been and is truly marvellous. If nothing happens to set it back, there is no
reason why the jieojde should not hold
on their way and "wax stronger and

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

THE FRIEND.
The Ex-Queen's Attitude Toward
Idolatry.
In a recent very' good lecture upon
Hawaii by 'Then ti. 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.

At 10 p. M. of the 23d uit, this tine

steamers acquire wonderful skill in mak

islands, as well as in rapid handling of
freight at the numerous landings. It is
a wonder that serious disasters so seldom

average skill and talent in their vocations,
but who for long perioda, before availing
of the benefits of the Institute, have
been incajiacitated by subjection to the

That the strangers who founded the
Hagey Institute in Honolulu have them

its work, and hold good faith toward the

evidenced in a conclusive way by their

The Young Men's Christian Association of Honolulu held their annual publicmeeting on Thursday evening April 29th
in their assembly hall. The first report,
that of the Educational Committee,

by Mr. Henry M. Wells and his corps of
instructors in the evening classes, showing a distinct advance over the previous

The Gymnasium for the g
pari
of the year had been without

had opened what promised to be
'".ccssful term of work.
The Religious work had been well
maintained. There had been an average
attendance of 10 at the Sunday Evening
Praise Services. Dr. Hyde's Bible class
had been attended by about 20, Two
union meetings had been held, and three
special Sunday afternoon meetings, led
respectively by Rev. Dr. Diilc, Rev. A.

President A. B. Wood, reelected,

A long list of Committees was read
by the President, indicating an iinn.ense
amount of organized work to be con

probably be revived this year.
The Punahou orchestra furnished t.\

But in the light ol Dr. Barrows' recent

respect to Christ, and especially in the
light of this lecture, it is manifest that he

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.

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,

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.

Pomona High License.
The Beet Sugar Outcry Fraudulent.
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

Abundant testimony comes from Hilo

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.

Palama Chapel Mission. Report of Rev.

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

Church Dedication at Hilo.
The New Foreign Church edifice at
Hilo is to be dedicated next Sunday,
July 4th. 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. With the arrival of
annexation, no place in these islands is
likely to feel the impulse given by the
new order of things mote than Hilo, the
magnificent coffee lands of whose back
country ate sure to attract American
Settlers more rapidly than any other
locality. 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. Abundant work
is before our Christian people.

A day of celebration, the 23d, for this
event, was observed in Honolulu, with

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. No minister, however

of her ablest ministers, coultl comfortably place before his Queen any measure

have become the foremost of European

her privilege to reign in a century when
the principles ol justice, purity, benevol

England and ol the world that this good
and illustrious woman has worthily

and over such a people, (rod has marvellously blessed Victoria, and through
her, England and the win Id.
All people of English blood praise
God for and are proud of this excellent
and long lived Queen.
Rev. William H. Sallmon.
This gentleman is making a ten days
sojourn in Honolulu, to sail on July Ist
lor Australia fur the purpose of aiding
and superintending in the conduct ol
twenty-five Student Christian Unions
in Australia. Mr. Sallmon is a Vale
graduate of'94, and has had chief charge
of the Y. M. C. A, now numbering 1,300
students in that University. His chief
woik has been in building up the Bible
study department of the College Associations. He has been prominent in the
inter-collegiate work of the Y. M. C. A.
especially in Canada, his native land,
touring and speaking also in the principal colleges in the Middle and Kastern
States, and taking charge of Bible study
work at the Student aumniei schools at
Xorthlield and knoxville.
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. He pointed out that the
day is past since the Y. M. C. A. has
been suspected of being a rival or other

occasion of the anniversary week.
The forenoon ol Friday the -ith was
spent by the association in listening to

in attendance during the year, three of

On Sunday afternoon, the Fvangelical

A final session to finish up business
was held on Monday forenoon,

when the Association adjourned till

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.
The following facts are elicited by an
inspection of the Annual Report of W.
VV. Hall, Treasurer of the Hawaiian
Board. Increasing prosperity is shown.

$�8,418,06, which is an excess over the
previous year of $4,218,73, and greater
than in any former year.
Of these receipts, it is found that the
contributions of the native churches
amounted to $1:176.70, which is $54
more than their contributions of the
previous year.
The contributions from the Central
Union Church and Sunday School were
$2244.00
$13,000
were contributed by eleven
in amounts varying from $200
to $3,300. Seven of these were of $1000
and upwards.
All of these eleven

$6,587.96 of the receipts were income
from Permanent Funds, which amount
to $62,966.56. Of these. $35,000 belong
to the S. N. Castle fund, and $7000 to
the C. K. Bishop fund. All these funds
were required by the donors to be per
manently invested for the use ol the
Hoard. There is included also $5000
invested by C. R. Bishop for the use of
the Kohala Girl's School.

Of the Home Mission expenditures
$975 went to Palama Chapel, and $850
to aid native pastors and preachers,
exclusive of much local aid given them.
For the Japanese Mission $2897.50
was paid for support of Japanese
preachers, and $384.10 for then travel
ing expenses. Many of the plantations
contribute in addition to their support.
Of the $2020 for the North Pacific
Mission Institute, $1260 was expended
towards the support of the I 1 students.
It should be added that for buildings
for the various missions, not including
native churches, amounts have been
contributed during the year, exceeding
all donations to the Board, and largely
by the same donors. Our people know
what Christian Missions have done for
Hawaii, and their faith and zeal towards
the work have not abated.

Death of Secretary F. P. Hastings.
Frank P. Hastings. 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

Immediate Annexation
Probable.
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

naturally gravitates to America as its

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. M Lydgate prtached on the
evening of the 30th ><i May, on Home
Missions, and Key. J. I.i.idiiigh.ini, oh

Ignorant Disparagement of
Missionaries.
A few days ago a member of a Pus

"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 give me the names of eight m
ten missionai ies in Japan or China whom
you came to know personally, whose
work you examined thoroughly enough
to understand its character anil range ?
Will you tell me what kind of missionary
work you found ineffective ? the evangeWhat kind

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 ?

who spoke with a broad and enlightened
patriotism, while paying tribute to the
virtues of other nations, and avoiding
current political issues in Hawaii and
America.
Mr. Sewall gave a bright

�Summer School for Teachers.
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

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:

'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

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

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.

The Captain also prizes the gasoline
launch presented to the ship by Mr. C.

this gilt more than the ship's crew, as it
will save them many a long pull at the
oars.

such as that at Maiana, where seven or
eight milts have to be made in boats

Having accepted this resignation, the

S K. 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

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:

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.

of the road to Kahuku, which is a distance of nearly seventy miles from
Honolulu.

authorized by the Government
to suggest that the matters at issue be

This is an honorable offer, and one

The views of the parties differ so

A nearly unanimous vote was given

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

Mrs So has been untiling in her labors

Her love for

her an entrance into many homes where

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

and have aided with money some poor
sick people, ami have helped one to
return to Japan.

During the year, one hundred and

into the churches on the Islands. This
means, in some cases, families brought

he became Minister of Public Instruction,
and applied his practical ability with
great success to the work of organising
the Common -schools into a compact and
efficient system, supported from the
public revenue. Dr. Armstrong was
doubtless the chiel organizer of the
present maguificent school system of
Hawaii.
During the 26 years previous to Dr.
Armstrong's excellent work, the earlier
and later missionaries had been greatly
active 111 establishing schools among the
common people, and a majority of the
natives had become able to read the
Bible, of which .they possessed the completed translation in 1839. Among the
most efficient workers I'm schools was
the Rev. Lowell Smith who. on account
of his wife's constant need of medical
care, removed from Ewa to Honolulu in
IS.iti, and for one year devoted his very
active energies to organising the common schools of ihe capital, which were
in a very disordered condition. The
effects of his good woik were permanent,
and contributed largely to the foundations upon which Dr. Armstrong built
ten years later. In 1S:17, Lowell Smith
organized the second or Kaumakapili
Church, and became engrossed in his
work as pastoi.

Help the Hawaiian Board.
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

trolling influence over the commerce of

make Honolulu
compelled

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.

This is
an
issue

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.

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

prominent family of highly esteemed

the venerable Mrs. 'Thomas Brown, who
is the mother of Messrs Godfrey, Cecil
and Frank Browu, and of Mrs. Alexan

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

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.

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

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

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.

Governors of that island by tne Spanish mountain projected upon

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."
