Woods. using Dr. Pease, late ol Marshall Island Mission, writes tti Dr. Hyde, under date of Dec. 10, that he pui poses to be at Honolulu on the arrival of the Morning Star, and remain here until she returns westward. His object is to work with a native teacher who is to come from the Marshall [stands, in revisinga translation of portions of the Old Testament which Dr. Fease has been preparing. "I hear that the Hoard have two new teachers under appointment for the Girls' School in Kusaie. They are sisters, and will relieve Miss Hoppin when Miss Palmer comes home. * Mi. Ch.union is studying medicine as 1 understand. He will make a good doctor." Miss Crosby is at Clifton Springs, and or. the whole improving. She hatl heen extremely ill, and underwent a severe operation in October at Rochester. Mrs. Fease will remain at Claremont, Cal, with her huge family while hci husband visits the Islands. "I am hoping to find money to get our Marshall Island New Testament electrotyped. The Fible Society declare their inability to issue another edition of the book, and all new out are exhausted. It is a new complication not to be able to get Testaments for our people." Dr. Fease adheres to the old view that (he motive of missions is not "to build up a Christian civilization in Pagan lands," but to save men. Only when Pagans are saved from sin and Satan, will they become civilized. Until saved by Christ, they do n, t caie for the light. aStTClvemhoiprnsaItl ndia. It is absiud to say that Christianity is good for the West, but lirahinanism is the faith for India. It is said no Euro pean can become a Hindu. There is no place for such an accession in the lirah man system. Hut Hindus can and do become Christians. And the gospel works in the Eastern heait as it does in the Western. 1 believe Christianity could rid India of plague and famine. Scarce a native Christian died of plague. Heathen ism, with its ignorance and rigidity, is largtly responsible for the fatality of Indian famines. Christian intelligence and freedom would, I believe, carry even the millions safely through a year of drought. What becomes of the children of Hindus of the lowest castes when they are converted and become open to Christian influences? They rise from the level in which they are born, and appear all over India as the competitots of the most favored classes in all commercial and professional lines. | [January, KRIKNI). Confession of a Hindu Leader. We must givethe Swami Vivekanandn credit for having learned something about the relative rank of his own pcoplt while he was eating beef here in Amci ica. He gave a course of lectures in Madras on his return which have been published, and from these we take, fol lowing the Indian Mirror, whit we maj call the confessions of a Hindu. Tin old VediC religion was, he ti lis us. beautiful and pure; but the low race* which accepted Uuddhism destroytd it all. He says: "Before a century had passed the) brought out their snakes, their ghosts and all the other things their ancestors used to worship, and thus the whole ol India became one degraded mass ol I have neither the superstition. time nor the inclination to describe t' you the hideous ceremonies, the mosl horrible, the most obscene books thai human hands ever wrote or the human brain ever conceived, the most bestial forms that evet passed under the name of religion have all been the creation of The Tar degraded Uuddhism. tars and the licluchis and all the hideous races came to India and became Bud dhists, and assimilated with us | Indians and brought their national customs, antl the whole of our national life became a huge page of the most horrible am most bestial customs." To this the Swami attributes tin decay of the Hindu race "Compared to many other races, I must tell you in plain words we are weak, very weak. First of all is our physical weakness. That physical weak ness is the cause at least of one third of our miseries. We are la/y ; we cannot combine we do not love each other; we are immensely selfish; we are what the women of Europe are not three of us can come together without hating each other, without being jealous ol each other. That is the state in which we are, hopelessly disorganized mobs, im mensely selfish ; fighting each other for centuries, whether a certain mark is to be put this way or a cei.ain that way ; writing volumes and volumes upon such momentous questions as whether the look of a man spoils my food or not.

There is ilso a peculiar enthusiasm created itnong donois, by being made to feel that they are participating in a quasiniraculous method. Changing Views. I have been trying to imagine St. Paul •changing his views"—coming out of lis fellowship with Jesus Christ and :ommunion with the Holy Spirit into the light of science antl modern philosophy, nd, after much prayerful thought, ac- cepting most of the conclusions and lypotheses of modern thought that go floating about or, the unstable wave of 'the higher criticism." Imagine St. Paul saying; "Whereas, I formerly preached Christ and him crucified, 1 now give up the supernatural work antl character of Jesus and the mysteries of the world to come. Although I once believed in the doctrine of'substitution,' i.e., that Jesus Christ was the Lamb of (iod, foreshadowed by the Passover lamb, and that he 'was sacrificed for our sins, that we might have redemption through his blood,' I no longer believe that I am saved by 'grace' through faith in him, but rather by works of righteousness and by love to man. Therefore I shall e.uleavor, by a positive religious philosophy, to raise mankind from a lower to a higher plane of life, according to the words of Christ when he said, 'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one for another.' But, whereas I once preached Christ as the chief Corner Stnne, and that in him dwelt all the fullness ol the Godhead, I shall exhort that they all become sons of (iod, standing fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made them free." In conclusion, imagine St. Paul saying: "I have been assured, moreover, by many other disciples of Christ, that they no longer build their faith upon the foundations of the apostles and prophets in the old way. Now be it known that I, Paul, who am no mean citizen, do hereby admit that I was probably mistaken about having a vision of the Lord on theway to Damascus, and being filled with the Holy Ghost; and, therefore, I shall no longer call myself a servant of Christ, nor preach any more that his gospel came with power and by the Holy Spirit (though without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness), yet in future I shall simply preach the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Greet the Saints in Boston. 1 salute all them that have the rule over you."

'The Hawaiian Delegate, Dr. Alvarez, has made an excellent report, of which we have given a brief summary. Miss Mary E. Green. Miss Green is the veteran and greatly honored local missionary of the W. C« T. U. and Woman's Board, whose woik is chiefly among the native llawaiians. She lately returned from a five months visit to the United States. As delegate from the W. C. T. U. of Hawaii, she attended the World's Convention of that Association at Toronto. Miss Green made her report to the VV. C. T. U. Dec. '21st. She was much impressed by the force and magnetism of Miss Frances Willard, the great leadtr of the W. C. T. U. It was evident that the cause of 'Temperance was making progress. A serious difference had arisen between Miss Willard and the Fnglish leader in the cause, Lady Frances Somerset, upon a question outside of the special work of Temperance. Dedication of Bishop Memorial Chapel. On Sunday, December 19th, was dedicated the new Memorial Chapel just finished on the grounds of the Kamehameha Schools. The scholars and teachers over 400 in number filled the body of the building. Invited guests sat in the transept, with officials on the platform. The Chapel is described as "a gem of architectural beauty." Although small, it cost $60,000, in accordance with Mr. C. K. Bishop's desire. It was erected out of a fund of 1800,000 placed by Mr. Bishop in ■ 595, in the hands of Trustees. Rev. Dr. Hyde made an address, stating the facts, after which Hon. S. M. Damon, acting for Mr. Bishop with an appropriate address delivered the keys to Mr. J. O. Carter, representing the B. P. Bishop 'Trustees. The sermon was preached by Key H. H. Parker, upon "building the house upon the rock," urging upon the Hawaiian young men and maidens the need of the Christian life, to save their land and their civilization, building character upon Christ. The Prayer of Dedication was offered by Dr. Hyde. We acknowledge the receipt from the of a Souvenir Calendar, which is both a useful and very tasteful article of its kind. It contains twelve excellent photo pictures of streets and scenes about Honolulu. Women's Fxchange The Way of Tire. pp. Ml, Dodd' Mead and Co. Mrs. Helen Blackmar Maxwell, now the wife of Captain Barker of the U. S. Battleship Oregon, and the authoress of the Bishop's Conversion, and of Three Old Maids in Hawaii, has published a new story of life in India, her missionary home for many years. No missionary figures in the story, however. It forms a series of sketches of English life in India, with especial reference to the social disadvantages of cultivated Eurasians or pait whites, and how they can be overcome. The story is animated and entertaining, as well as morally and socially instructive. It is wholly kindly and appreciative of English social excellencies. A good vein of humor, with little satire, runs through the book. 'The Eurasian heroine emerges happily from her long ordeal. [January, 1898.

Today none speak moie truly to the heart of the people than lan Maclaren and Kiidyard Kipling, and how many there are, ol various stature, walking the paths of literature and more or less known to the woild as potts, essayists and story-tellers, who are recognized as veritable pr >phets ol righteousness. The) speak to oui hearts and consciences, though we know them only as John, the fore runner, was known to the repentant people of his days, as a voice calling them to better ways of life. The influence ol literature is especially potent among the young. They can be reached by books when other agencies fail. The Story ol brave adventure is to the in a necessity, out of it they get that mental stimulus snd entertainment they so greatly need. While leading the well told health)' tale, they gam the finest schooling. It is a lesson in the use of language, but. moie than this, it teaches collect morals: by it they are helped to be courageous, kind and true ; it gives them a better ideal than they themselves could construct, or find among their associates. Theie are those who rarely hear the voices of other preachers than those who make the good story, antl there are those who have never been stirred by any preaching, who, if they were but furnished with a literature matched to their need, might lie saved to a better dainty channels of literature. These channels reach upwards, like mountain streams, to where the soil is virginal, to where sweet, aromatic things grow, and the air stirs from out the bosom of the enfolding clouds. It is my feeling that there are many such cases in these islands, that perhaps no where else than right here among us, is there greater need of the support which comes of good literature in the struggle which is being made after virtue.

I It is perhaps true, that the most tar reaching influence now at work in society, life. 7 It must be s.iul that the coiiditii ns are peculiar. An entire people is being quickly broughi to the knowledge ol the English l.in-M,. ;;r. n language that is rich in the best Ii erature the world can give. It is., grai il opportunity to hi ing to bear upon the Hawaiians this transforming power of a noiili literature. The key to a new knowledge and a new morality has been placed in the hand nf the young Hawaiian antl we have hut to help him use it. Ii We ilo out dut'j a new light may shine in the Hawaiian home through the illuminating powei 'rf good literature. Lei this light shine and there shall he the 11 ginnings ola more esthetic lite- more beaut) ol household decoration—and morf knowledge of what bungs true health; sueeltr, purer songs nni)'be snug, and intuvii and poetry shall wield a happiei control-over a race peculiarly suscepttlili to such refining influencesThink how i.n awa\ iod a) such things are from the average Hawaiian home. Its dcsolateiicss can hardly be conceived by those, who, through their literature, have become the heirs ol the ages, who are rtail) tmichtd foi the better b) the finest thai lias been thought, said m done, and who are helped to dream the dreams of the artists, the poets, tin sages anil wise and good nun ol all times. VVhateVei of good the natives offurmer days received from the litei store that was given them by ibe missionary fathers, that literature is inadequate foi them now. Indeed, so Strong is then hold coining to he on the English language, that they are ceasing to read their motbei tongue: perhaps this is well, for its resources are not gieat, and they have sensed to multiply. The native bible and hymn book when they came, were a great boon to the llawaiians. The new thought which was introduced to the native mind by these classic books had its marvelous effect. Pthicall) and religiously the)' became a different pen pie but now. with the increase ol intel ligence, the time ftn the broader cuttuie has come, and it cannot be imparted through the medium of the Hawaiian language so well as through the English. The limited scriptural helps, the few printed sermons, the two or three nienious, a work on theology, a church history, a catechism, snd a translation ol Hun) an's Pilgrims Progress, form a library inadequate for the young Hawaiian of today. He needs more books on science and history, on social and political economy, and he needs more artistic, poetic and religious matter to be given him in his reading ; but primarily he need* the right kind of fiction. This he is ready for and will take sooner than anything else, and it may become a step to higher things. Fiction, such as it is. has been given him in abundant measure in the serial newspaper story, but it is unfitting. The uplifting power of the inspired story- : �THE FRIEND. 8 . teller has hardly been felt by him. He will read an interesting title, and perhaps get a sermon from it, when he will not listen to the professional preacher. He will hfok into a book that is placed in his way, when perhaps he will not go to church. He whom an unwel come personality cannot reach may be attracted by tile charmed pages of literature. There are influences at work among us debarring us from free access to many to whom we would be helpful, and in Mir efforts to raise the social standard and make men better, we find ourselves greatly hindered. We have been adopt ng new methods. The Kindergarten is one. We have wisely chosen to reach the child-life and are doing it good work upon it. There still remains the adult life for us to touch yet more effectively than we have. Is there not some new channel of influence through which we may work ? We believe good literature furnishes it. We have hail politics in full measure and that of a personal kind, we. have been antagonized and divided by it. ami the bad newspaper has made the most ol the situation, till lite has been embittered. It is time to change and to direct the minds of the people to new interests. There are the wholesome and sweet paths ot literature, they are always It inviting and full of refreshment. were well if our young men and women could become more familiar with them, and so forget the troublesome contentions of the day. We have tried to instruct them from the pulpit and the teacher's desk, but we have not asked our poets and story-tellers lo do thenpart. 'I'he witchery of the literary man needs to be felt among us as it has not in the past, and we shall be wise if we bring it to bear just now, with its happy, transforming force on our native youth. With their newly acquired knowledge of Kng lish, they stand at the very entrance ot a larger intellectual and spiritual life, and it is our privilege, by the use of good books, to bring them to it. For the Klondike. Immense preparations are making for the expected movement of miners to the gold fields of the Yukon Valley next spring. The numbers seem likely to be limited only by lack of money and of ships for transportation. Probably money will be supplied to a great many on the "grubstake" plan, the miner or prospector going at a partner's expense. Wild estimates have appeared of the numbers likely to reach the Yukon valley the coming summer, ranging even as high as 300,1)00. An official statement made at Washington names 100,-•00 as likely to go. It is difficult to see how even half that number could possibly find transportation during the five months available for the journey. A number of large steamers are under stood to be preparing for the purpose of carrying the people to St. Michael's at the mouth of the Yukon, a voyage of 3900 miles, or eight days. These are to cany in sections, light draft barges and engines to be pot together at St. Michael's, to continue the voyage up the Yukon river 3500 miles farther to Dawson City. Allow each steamer to can)- Hlhil passengers, with 1000 tons of their necessary supplies. To carry 100 thousand will then require 1011 trips, the round trip of the steamer taking four weeks. Kach ship will have time for five trips, thus requiring twenty large ocean steamers running constantly for five months to do the work. It seems unlikely that even half that number of first class ships could be obtained to put on the route. Then on the river, not less than 300 stern-wheelers would be necessary, mak ing monthly trips during the live months available. This is only to transport the men and their indispensable provisions for a year's consumption. Hut besides this, would lie necessary at least 100,000 tons of Coal, to keep them warm during the Arctic winter, and an equal weight of lumber for housing. All this would require twice the before named means of transportation. It is evident that moving and supplying an army of even 50,000 mtn to the remote and frozen Alaska would be beyond any except national resources as employed in war. It is hardly possible that even twenty thousand men can reach Alaska the coming summer. It is not improbable that by next May, word will come from Dawson of extreme suffering and starvation, such as to deter many intending emigrants. It may prove a repetition, upon a large scale, of the horrors experienced by Cueely's party m Greenland. Alaska to be Developed. One thing seems evident re peering Alaska. 'I'he vast Yukon valley is about to be occupied and subdued by the mighty armies of American and Christian civilization. Like the sudden and tremendous inpouring of those armies into California fifty years ago, now comes this great rush to the Yukon. The mining of gold is the inciting object in both cases. There appears to be reliable evidence that the supply of gold upon the Yukon is much more abundant than was that of the placers of California. On the other hand, it seems doubtful whether that Arctic land will afford any at all of those resources of agriculture which have rendered California so opu- |]anu.,ry. LB9B. lent. Possible some scant yield of grain and vegetables may be obtained while the sun for a few weeks thaws the surface of the perpetually fro/en subsoil. In any case, the immense mining fields of Alaska seem certain to secure for that territory a permanent occupation by a large population of active and enterprising Americans, who will carry with them the best elements for building a prosperous and powerful state in the valley of the Yukon and its numerous tributaries. The south-eastern extension of Alaska also will inevitably have its full share of immigration, and will enjoy immediate settlement, and the earl) development of its immense mining, lumbering, and fishery resources, as well as those of agriculture. In fact, a new Pacific State is immediately to be created in Southern Alaska. All this must have important inlluence upon Hawaii, and Hawaii is likely to exert upon Alaska important reciprocal influence, commercial social, moral, and spiritual. It is too early to anticipate the whjle nature of this interaction. It must be important. We now see additional reason for the wonderful Divine leading which early planted in Hawaii this strong and deeply rooted Christianity, which makes our group a bright beacon light of Christ's kingdom shining athwart the whole Pacific Coast. One more motive is given to stir every Christian heart to alertness for eveiy May call of our Master and King. Hawaii's light shine brightly, and contribute to illumine, guide anil comfort that great arm) of pioneers amid tile Arctic rigors. Beacon at Diamond Head.

Unfortunately the storm was attended with little of the needed rain. Thunderstorms are a rarity in these Islands. Impending Hotel Changes.

Iit IHI I- The Sweet Kindergartens. The "Child garden"—how fitting the name. A place of growth, and of beauty; of delicate and tender Bowers, nourished by hands of gentleness and love. The other day we passed a teacher with hei throng of little tots rollicking after her, as they took a morning walk on the She was lovingly turning avenue. the dear little hearts, and they towards were delightedly tumbling along after her, with glee and laughter. Those were happy hours in school. The babes were happy; ihe teacher was happy. It was a garden of joys. It is a blessed thing for the careworn mothers to know that their little ones are safe for many hours in hands that are wise and gentle. They are in an atmosphere of order, of kindness, of intelligence, of animation, of cheer and satisfaction. They are undergoing a sweet and happy discipline efficiently adapted to educate their infant natuies by the most attractive methods. They carry back to their often poor and dismal homes lessons of order and gentleness which gradually refine, and elevate those homes. Each kindergarten is charged with blessing and cheer to children and There is no work more helpful parents. done in this city, and none more fruitful of lasting good in the characters of those thus cultivated and shaped in tender years. Prayer for Colleges. The long wonted d.iy for special prayer for Institutions of Learning came last week; anil the occasion, as usual, received special observance at Oahu College, where many friends were gathered to unite their petitions for spiritual bles sings upon the youth under instruction, as well as to make special pleas to the students to cultivate their noblest na tures, by seeking the grace of God. There is scarcely any object in praying for which the desires ol Chriat.Rt._l are so deeply and tenderly enlisted as tor the spiritual till ogement and divine growth of those select and precious youth pursuing higher studies, in whose progress such bright hopes are Wrapped up, and in whose future character for go id are involved such vast uppoi tunnies of fruit ful service for God and man, A Christian College is, or should be, a compact organized gathering of consecrated, enlightened teachers and ol earnest, impressionable youth, where the latter shall acquire not merel) human erudition and science, and intellectual culture, but where they shall equally experience the highest moral culture and spiritual growth. Tne intellectual part of the man may be highly disciplined, while the vital, spirituil nature is left torpid and atrophied. A college where such is the case, And no spiritual life prevails, where the teachers are md iff_T ent to the highest things, and the stu dents breathe no atmosphere of faith and divine uplifting, such a college is a place, not of lite, but of atrophy and stupor in all the highest part of man's being. In the ardent pursuit of knowledge; in the vehement rivalry of scholarship, both teachers and students arc in danger of forgetting the best and highest things, so that even ihe mental growth suffers from the lack of spiritual vigor. Scho lai ship is never so high and active, as when waves of spiritual enthusiasm waken all the noblest activities of the students. Such breathings of mental and spiritual power come by the work of the Holy Spirit. Well then may we importunately beseech the Father to bestow the Holy Spirit upon the souls of instructors and students, so that the college may be a place of constant spiritual as well as mental growing. Noble college edifices and wealthy endowments may have their value. Too otteil they deaden the active spiritual lite of the college or seminary. The noblest men for public service come more rarely from the old and wealthy universities, far more often from poor 9 The Friend NUMISKK 2 and struggling colleges where devout and lofty souls preside and create an atmosphere of purest and highest learning. Let the wrestling petition then be that tbe divine power may rest richly on the instructors and students of our schools of learning, making them seats of the loftiest and most abiding spiritual activity. So shall our educated youth become fountains of lite and health am nig men. Mr. Lewis to Labor on Maui. The Rev. John M. Lewis goes to his new field ol labor on Maui, with the high commendations of his many friends in Honolulu, and with their most earnest prayers tor his success in his new field. Mr. Lewis has labored, foi a year and a half with zcai and efficiency in connection with the Falama Chapel, and has gamed in a very high degree the confidence and affection ol the people of 'hat district, who arc grieved to part with him Mr. Lewis now engages in a much larger field, being expected to visit and labor among the weak native churches and then pastors on the Island of Maui, seeking to strengthen and build them He will at the same time, in VVai up. luku. do such pastoral work among the white population ot that section as may prove desirable. In general, his position will resemble that of Rev. John Lydgate, who is doing such excellent work on Kauai. His work will be under the auspices of the Hawaiian Board. The Hon. H. I'. Baldwin will be a leading contributor to Mr. Lewis' support. A Venerable Resident Departed. Passed away at last from among us is the aged Grandmother Carter, whom we remember as a prominent member of Honolulu society more than sixty years ago. Coming here in company with Messrs Ladd and Brinsmade and their families, she soon became married to Captain Carter, an active and enterprising trader in the Pacific ports. Mrs. Carter's children long ago reached mature years, and all but two have gone before her, Mr. Jos. O. Carter and Mrs. Robert Lewers. Her numerous grandchildren also are nearly all ofadult years. A lady of great activity and cheerfulness, her closing years have been spent in much infirmity of body. She was one of the tew surviving witnesses of those early days when the royal chiefs and the missionaries were the ruling influences in Hawaii, and Honolulu was a dusty, squalid, treeless town of thatched huts. �Februay, 1898.

Dole, President of the Republic of Hawaii took passage for San Francisco on the Peru, January (ith, on his way to Washington. He was accompanied by Major Curtis P. laukea as Secretary, and Dr. Day as Physician. Mrs. Dole accompanied her husband as far as California. He expects to return in a few weeks. In the mean time Minister Cooper is Acting President and will send the message to the Legis lature which is about to convene. 'The precise errand of our President in Washington has not been published. Of cours it refers to the annexation of Hawaii now under discussion in Congress. It is believed that Mr. Dole's presence there had become expedient in view of complications liable to arise in adjusting the proposed measure. He is expected to confer with the Hawaiian Legation and with the Administration. 'The departure of the ship being on Sunday, by request of the President, no salutes were tired by the warships in Probable New Pump For Honolulu. A plan is under consideration to open new Pumping Plant for the water supply of the city at Palama or Kalihi. There can be little doubt that with the growth of the city the Artesian Supply must become the chief dependence, just as it is on the Sugar Plantations. It seems absurd that the Government begrudge Honolulu people ample water at rates equal to $150 an acre, while the Kwa Plantation enjoys much more co pious irrigation at a cost of $•-'.'> an acre. This is not good business management. It is really a foolish clinging to the traditional method of depending upon the very limited and unreliable valley sup ply, which should be used only for irri gation of high levels above 200 feet. Ten years hence when Honolulu has perhaps 50,000 people, the present waterworks management will be matter of derision. a Haiku Sugar Co. has placed wells and a pumping plant in Maliko gulch, and is now delivering water on the The Building Trades Council of San upland to irrigate 400 acres of cane, thus Francisco publicly supports the annexbetween two and three thousand adding ation of Hawaii, and denounces the tons a year to the output. of the Sugar Trust which have ced certain Labor organizations to Flowing Well on Kauai. oppose it.

The writer twice encountered his cortege on the roads and scrutinized with deep interest the comely features of this fair haired grandson of Victoria. Of some interest also was the noble bearing of the young Prince's Governor. It detracts from the favorable impression then received to read the absurd flattery of the Prince's parting address to his Imperial brother at Kiel, words fit only for Chinese or Siamese king-worshippers. New Plantation at Waialua. Gasper Sylva has sold to H. Water house for $150,000 his Mokuleia property of over 4000 acres. The rental of rice lands on the estate is over $10,000. There is besides a large area of low fertile slope available for sugar cane, which can be irrigated by steam pumps from Artesian wells. The Waialua extension of the railway runs through the tract. This will be the fourth large plantation growing out of the railway enterprise of B. F. Dillingham. 13 RECORD OF EVENTS. Jan.

I hope to finish the job next week and be able to go about in it visiting the people who are too far distant from the station premises. The island needs teachers There are only two of them here. The one stationed here in town, is not a very bright one, but still he does all he can to keep the people together, but his influence over them is slight. The children, it is said, are kept away from school on account ol lack ot money to purchase books, but this seems to be only a false story, tor I have witnessed the prompt sale of hymn books. Therefore lam urging them to purchase books and send their children to school. There is another teacher at the northern end of the island, and his report concerning the work in his district is not a favorable one. When Mr. Walkup comes I will try to do all I can to have another teacher stationed here, for it is too bad to have only one t.acher here upon whom we can depend, and especially since rhere is no mimstei here to lead and to assist the catechist. The island is too much foi one person to take care of. lam now assisting the catechist in his school-teaching, by keep ing a Bible class among the older scholars who do not wish to leave school yet, till they are prepared to go to the training school at Kusaie. Hut this the catechist is not able to do SS he hiinselt told me. So I have to take that part of their training upon myself while I am heie. Three times a wtek I keep a singing class here among the school children, in addition to the song and prayer service we have every morning and evening. The king is taking a good step in the right direction, but he needs a great deal of help; and that's- a thing we are all attending to just at present. May our prayers for him be answered. I have not heard from Tarawa yet. I am not yet quite sure about getting there, for I have plenty to do during the time of my short stay here. We expect the steamer from Sydney every day. She is oveidue. I heard that the Longana left Tarawa yesterday, Sept. 1-ith, coming from Sydney, and going to Butaritari. 1 have the Butaritari mail here with me, and I am waiting for an opportunity to forward it. Thursday, Sept. 15th. I am getting ready for a citcuit as far as Taboneaba, the southern end of the island. I have the boat fixed and ready for the trip. I am healthy and strong, thanks to the Master. Hoping that you are the same, I remain, Your friend and brother, Louis M. MITCHELL. Station, Abaian, Gilbert Is. Teonobara Februay, 1898. THE FRIEND Proposed Sewer System. Sisal Plantation. From the eminent Sanitary engineer Rudolph Hering who studied Honolulu a year ago, full detail plans have been received for a complete sewer system for a city here of 50,ti00. The estimated cost when completed will be nearly $5(10,000. The sewerage will be deliver ed with the aid of pumps into deep water outside the reef. Itt strikes us that it would be better to lay the discharge pipe four miles along the reef to the Puuloa tract, and convert those thousands of barren acres into a highly fertilized garden. It seems a very modest prediction that Honolulu will pass the 50,000 point within a dozen years. Things are going to jump in this "Hub of the Pacific." A company has been incorporated with capital of $25,000 to plant sisal for fibre upon the coral flats of Waimanalo, west of Kwa Plantation. It is claimed that the plant will flourish upon the coral without irrigation. Cecil Brown is president of the company; the manager is Mr. Alfred Turner, lately of the Ostrich farm on Kauai, the location of which proved unsuitable. Sisal fibre is not unlikely to prove an important addition to the products of Hawaii, where arid land abounds. Nuuanu Pali Road Opened. The new road down the Pali was opened for general wheel traffic about the middle ol last month. Great credit is awarded to the contractors Messrs. Wilson & Whitehouse for their excellent work. The road is over two miles in length and 18 feet wide, cut into the side of the steep precipice, with a grade of eight feet in one hundred. The outer side is guarded by a heavy wooden railing. The descent of the pali is about 900 feet, leaving .'5OO feet descent for the remaining three miles to the sea. There is sure to be a heavy traffic over the road. The easy access from the city to the beautiful and verdant lands of Koolau will create great advance in values in that district, and many of our citizens will secure country seats there. A stage route is likely soon to be opened over the pali forty miles to Kahuku. The old road with its 15 per cent, grade was opened in 181a by the king and Dr. Judd. It was solidly built and a wonderful work for those days of poverty. It was a great discredit to the later monarchy that the carriage road The was not built fifteen years ago. Republic brought in road building and general activity in public improvements. SemiK -wklStytoage ahuku. Henry Bryant advertises to carry passengers and parcels via Pali to Kahuku and way points, every Tuesday and Thursday. White's stages run the rest of the route. This gives opportunity to go round the Island, and observe a series of wonderful pieces of scenery. This is one of the first fruits of the new Pali road. Serymser's Pacific Cable Co. is urging Congress for a contract to transmit all Senator Morgan has been doing official messages from San Francisco to vigorous work for Annexation in the U. Hawaii, China and Japan for twenty years, for $175,000 a year. S. Senate. Remarkable Race to San Francisco. Five vessels sailed from Honolulu, and one from Kahului, on the morning of December 31st, within four hours of each other. They were the \V. G. Irwin, W. H. Dimond, Albert, Archer, Transit, and Lurline. All arrived at San Francisco within three of each other on the evening of the 17th. The six ships were almost constantly in sight of each other through out the passage. The victory lay between the Irwin and the Lurline. Such uniformity of sailing together over a course of 2100 miles is believed to be unprecedented. Track-laying has begun on the Waialua extension of the Oahu Railway. Manager Dillingham expects to run through trains to Waialua by the middle of April. Mnch grand scenery hitherto unfamiliar, will be made accessible to the public. Kaena Point is a remarkable spot. The new section is about 25 miles in length. Great Molokai Ranch For Sale. The great ranch of the Bishop estate, comprising the western halfof the island of Molokai is to be sold at auction on the 2nd inst. It is well stocked with cattle and horses. It will probably be bought by parties intending to occupy the lower slopes near Kaunakakai with a sugar plantation, to be irrigated from artesian wells by steam pumps. Storms and Disasters. January has been a stormy month. A large proportion of the landings at the sugar plantations have been difficult of access, and the shipments of sugar have been greatly delayed. A sad disaster occurred at Papaikou in Hilo, where the esteemed Freight Clerk of the steamer Kinau lost his life in embarking for the ship. The fine steamer Kaaia leaving Laic with a full cargo of sugar was caught on the bar by heavy "blind rollers" and wrecked, with total loss. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

From two to five o'clock on Friday morning, February I 2th, a severe gale blew irom the southwest with heavy rain, and incessant lightning. The only serious damage done on shore was the burning out of the switch hoard o( ihe Telephone office, by the ctossing of the electric light wires. The Arago which sailed the evening before with a cargo of sugar for New York, lost her main and mizzen masts and fore topmast, off Koko Head, and was towed back to port. Her disaster was caused by weakness in the foremast tiessel tiees, letting the fore topmast telescope. The falling hamper parted the mainstay, causing general dismasting. Another thunderstorm, less violent but with more rain, occurred five days later, and still a thud on the -''-'nil. Thunder is somewhat of a rarity in these Islands.

Lecture by Prof. Alexander Agassiz. On the evening of February 3rd. Dr. Agassiz delivered at Pauahi Hall of t)ahu College his expected lecture upon the "Present Status of the Theory of Coral Reefs." It was heard by a very large audience. The eminent scientist is also an accomplished speaker, of clear and unhesitating delivery, and lucid and entertaining style. He has spent many years in personal study of coral retfs in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, probably more than any other person. He believes that the facts observed by himself completely refute the long accepted theory of Darwin and Dana, but in this lecture refrained from putting forward any theory his own. We await with deep interest Dr. Agassiz' forthcoming publications on the subject. While the lecturer's illustrious father resolutely refused to turn aside from investigation to lecture for money, the son ffas accumulated an enormous for tune in copper mine operations on Lake Superior. He is expending his money lavishly in the service of science. The Queen Dowager's Property.

Christian faith which then pervaded the �20 Hawaiian people. Their despotic and capricious tempers were also whole somely chastened by the harsh dealings of European consuls and admirals. They submitted to be led by their wise and benevolent white advisers. 'The common people were lifted out of social and political slavery and endowed with a limited share in the government, which was placed upon a liberal and consti tutional basis. Although the later generation of chiefs, elated by prosperity and luxury, discarded the restrictions of civilized quid ince, and reverted to heathen caprice and despotism, thus wrecking the throne, a better regime of free Republican government has taken its place, under which every native or white who will co operate, has opportunity to vote under like conditions. It is now the probably successful effort of the American Colony in Hawaii to ushei this native people, who have so long been the objects of their solicitous and civilizing care, into the exalted status ot citizens of the Great Republic. In the resistless march of commerce, the Hawaiian group is becoming the central meeting-point of the vast and growing ocean-traffic of this hemi sphere. Hawaii has been caught into the middle of the tremendous sweep of civilized activity. 'The people of these islands are hereafter debarred from the old Polynesian repose, and must keep step to the march of commercial activity. Only the alert and capable white man can hereafter rule here, and meet the tense emergencies of commerce. More over the irrepressible influx of other races is submerging the weak remnant of the original people of Hawaii, who have wasted to less than one-tenth of their original number. For these plain reasons it is an absurd dream for them to hope to maintain their ancient auto nomy amid the crushing whirl of inter traffic of surrounding empires. The Hawaiians must be taken under such shelter as can be found, and as speedily as may be. It is now the high privilege of the Americans who have lifted them into intelligence and civilization also to provide for them the safe shelter of American protection, as well as to introduce them into the free and exalted citizenship of the Great Union. Not subjugated like the other Poly nesian tribes, Hawaiians are to partici pate as freemen in the noble fellowship of Ameiican citizens. This will be the happy result of what their American teachers and guides have done for them during nearly eighty years of labor and care. Such a glorious achievement will be ample recompense for the toil. Com pare the political status of the Polynesian tribes of Tahiti, Samoa, and New Zea- [March, 1898.

After annexation they will continue to share the same political equality. All this superiority of the Hawaiian's position is due, under God, to the solicitous labors ot the Americans who taught them Christian civilization and, fifty years ago, achieved the i redempti >n from social and political slavery. That good work of the past will be triumphantly crowned when this redeem ed Hawaiian people are admitted to full American citizenship.

Mr. X k ihurva was a pupil in the former Wui .lua Girls' School which was kepi by Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Gulick. Her affection for her teacher was something notable. Once I failed to bring Mr. Gulick with me to her house where we were expected as guests. As I arrived alone at the close of the day, chided me for leaving him behind, "where is my teacher,'' she said. Jokingly we. called her Kaahumanu, for she was of colossal size, but in feeling and disposition she was gentle and unassuming—a type of our best womanhood. Of the twenty five years of her service as a pastor's wife, ten were spent at Kahuku, and fifteen at Waianae, where she died. Letter from Capt. Bray.

Dear Sir: -An opportunity presents itself to send a letter directly to I'onape to meet the Spanish steamer ol Decern her iiftth. I am pleased to be able to inform you that we have continued to be greatly prospered in all our work, and at the present time have all the work of this group finished, except the three northren islands of the Radicle Chain—Mt jit, Ailuk and Wotje. We hope to be back to Kusaie and ready to sail for the Gilbert Group by Christmas, and, as Mr. Walkup does not plan to hold the proposed general meeting of thit group, we are not likely to use the 70 days allotted to that trip. In view of all these circumstance*, and all the work of the Caroline Group having already been finished, it is likely that we may reach Honolulu some weeks earlier than the time set by the Hawaiian Board, April llth, 1898. All things are going on in a most satisfactory manner on board, and we have bad no mishaps thus far except the loss of an anchor stock at Arno. The vessel continues perfectly tight, and it seems to me does better steaming than I ever saw her do befoie. Our sails however are not many in number, and rather unsatisfactory in quality. We have been obliged to make some new ones. We have on board Dr. and Mrs. Rife, Miss Hoppin and Miss Olin. Mr. Emerson procably received the letter I sent to him from Ponape in Oct. containing the movements of the Star Rev. S. K. Kamakahiki. to that date, so I need not repeat. We are all well and happy.

New Haven, Ct., February IS. —D. L Moody, the noted evangelist, address ed the students of Vale this morning and evening and several hundred of them also attended the monster meeting in the Hyperion theater, where 200H were turned away for want of room. In all the services, unprecedented interest was taken by the students. The optional meeting this evening, under Young Men's Christian association auspices, was so largely attended that the students not only crowded the big hall almost to suffocation, but filled the stairways as well, and at the close a delegation from each class requested Secretary Wright to ask Mr. Moody to rem in several days, or, if that is impossible, to return to Vale again in the near future. In an interview tonight, Mr. Moody expressed himself as follows with regard to Vale, apropos of the agitation now being waged against the university by a certain class of reformers "I have been pretty well acquainted with Vale for twenty years and I have never seen the university in as good condition, religiously, as now. My old est son graduated here and if my other son, who is now in the freshman class, gets as much good out of Vale as his brother did, I shall have reason to thank God through time and eternity.

He is now making a tour of Japan in Gospel 'I'emperance work under the auspices of the society of which Mr. Taro Ando, the first Japanese Consul General to these islands is now the president. In a recent number of a missionary periodical sent to us from Japan we find the following incident in connection with Mi. Miyama's work: C. M. H. "Miss Parish and Mr Miyama spent some time in Hakodate during October, and for a week Mr. Miyama worked with the pastor in these special services. His aid was of great value, adding much to the success of the efforts. One night especially, thtre was a wonderful out pouring of the Spiiit. The subject ap pointed for the evening was 'Prayer for families, and the duties of the Christian in the home.' Mr. Yamaka was to lead and Mr. Miyama make the address; but the leader found it difficult to get into the spirit of the meeting and did not conduct the services with his usual fervency. When at the close of the address Mr. Miyama invited the Christ tans to come forward to an altar service, the pastor, who was usually first, did not take his place at the altar, but in stead slipped out of the church, to Mr. Miyama's surprise. The reason for such behavior was that in the morning he had been impatient in the home, speaking sharply to his wife, and the thought of those words had put him out of harmony with the meeting. He felt that he must first obtain his wife's forgiveness before he could consistently lead others in a consecration service, and told his experience before joining the others in prayer. The Spirit used his statement to the blessing of all, every one was melted down, and tears and prayers were joined for the outpouring of grace on the homes and the dear ones in them who as yet knew not Christ." NUMISK.K 4 Student Volunteers at Cleveland. A live days convention was held a month ago at Cleveland of delegations from the various bodies of Student Volunteers in different seats of learning. Over JHOII attended. This is the third convention since theii organization in 1884. The objects of this organization are to create active interest in foreign missions among students; to enroll volunteers for that service: to help such prepare for the field; and to secure the active Co operation, both in prayer and gifts, of all students. A force of three local and live travelling secretaries is employed. Of the I (Mill institutes of higher learning 838 have been reached. There has been an entire enrollnu nt of about 1 OtXl members of whom over I Mill have gone to the field. The five days met ting at Cleveland weie of the deepest interest. They Were addressed by prominent missionaries from all pails of the world, as well as byleading Christian workers at home. The needs ol the vast depressed and unevan gelized races were thiillingly set forth, as weil as the immense progress of the work among them. Tile need ol intellectual and practical qualifications as well as of devoted consecration was urged. Much was done towards improved organization. Hiram Bingham, Jr., of Honolulu, from Vale College, was a deeply interested participant at Cleveland. Mr. Hiram Bingham, Jr., has accepted the charge of the l'alama Chapel Mission. He expects to graduate from Vale University in June, and after a short session in Moody's Summer School at Northfietd, to reach Honolulu August •2nd. He talks of two years service here. Mi. Uingham has received flattering offers to teach, but feels enthusiasm for Mission work. He hopes to become a missionary to China, after completing a Theological Course. Rev. S S. Palmer of Oakland, Cal., expressed great regret in declining the call of Central Union Church to be come its pastor. An earnest hope of the church meets a serious disappointment. has �THE FRIEND 26 REV. ALVIN OSTROM. IN MEMORIAM. Those who were privileged to know the late Rev. Alvin Ostium of Kohala realize that a most earnest and consecrated worker has passed away to his heavenly reward, one whose place will not easily be filled. His recent death has came as a great loss, not only to his immediate family, but to a wide circle made up of different nationalities, among whom he so faithfully labored to the last. As one who has enjoyed for years the privilege of being intimately associated with him in missionary work, and of witnessing his whole-souled consecration to the advancement of the Redeemer's cause, I feel it to be an honor to pay this slight tribute to his noble and earnest life. He was pre eminently a missionary of the Cross in the broadest and truest sense, one who felt in all his being, the command of the Great Cap tain to preach the Gospel to those of every nation. Marl) in life he left his native land to engage in missionary work in China; being connected with the work of the Dutch Reformed Church in Amoy. He there began his labors with enthusiasm and had already gained a working knowledge of the language, when a severe sunstroke caused him to cease all work and necessitated a return to the States. After a long period of illness he was enabled to resume ministerial work in the home land but was never again to return to China to resume active service there. In l.syo he enjoyed greatly returning for a brief visit to the scene of his early labors in Amoy. During the nearly ten years he has been the Pastor of the Foreign Church in Kohala, Hawaii, he has labored for all nationalities in that district. Most earnestly and faithfully has he ministered to the church and congregation of which he had the immediate charge. Those who were permitted to hear his hopeful and triumphant words in that last Sab bath morning's discourse, will not soon forget the fervor and unction with which he spoke. Before the setting of the sun, he was with the Saviour, whom he had served, without wavering, to the last. To the mission and church and educational work among the Hawaiians, Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese, he gave himself with untiring zeal, and his wise counsel and warm sympathy in all those departments of our island work, will be sorely missed. In all these efforts he was ably assisted by his noble and energetic wife, who found equal delight in ministering to the needs of all. Their home was ever opened to receive all who might come, with a generous and large hearted hospitality, which those who have experienced it will never forget.

D. as Mr. Oslrom had preached in the morning from the text, "But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." At 4 p. m. of that Sunday, February 27th, he was seized with acute pains in the legion of the heart, and almost immediately passed away. Rev. S. M. Dodge conducted the funeral services. Mr. Ostrom had been pastor of the Foreign Church at Kohala for nearly twelve years. He was about 69 years of age. Mr. and Mrs. Ostrom have rendered tireless and most precious service not only in their own church, but to the churches and Christian workers around them. Death of Miss Prances E. Willard. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of Honolulu on March 15th held a Memorial Service in view of the recent death of the eminent Piesident of the organization throughout the world. Mrs. P. C. Jones, Mrs. R.J. Greene, and Miss Mary K. Green testified to the impres sions produced by their intercourse with Miss Willard. An appropriate testimonial was adopted, presented by Mrs. Mary S. Whitney, the President of the local branch. Libraries for the Common Schools. We desire to add impulse to the new movement to supply small libraries of suitable books fcr the pupils of the common schools in these islands. Our issue for January contained an important paper on this subject by Rev. 0. P. Emerson. A teacher has written about it to Senator McCandless. A very large number of the native, Chinese and Portuguese children are now so far advanced in the use of English as to read with pleasure simple English literature. There is a copious production of such books in England and the United States. What is wanted is to have, say 300 of such small books for children carefully selected, and made up into sets of thirty to each school. Twelve copies of each book would be needed so as to make 120 libraries, comprising ten different sets. After each school had read up its set, say in three months, it should exchange with larger books would be useful. The greatest care should be used in selecting the books so as to combine entertainment with sound and whole some mor.il tone. A large proportion of the books in our Sunday School libraries should be judiciously weeded out. Now is an opportunity for most helpful enlightenment of the rising generation in Hawaii. The Alleged McGiffert Heresy. The New York Presbytery has received more than i 00 letters from Presbyterians all over the country, protesting against statements in Professor AicGiffert's new book, The History of Christianity in the Apostolic Age, and urging that the presbytery take action in the matter. The point against which the majority of protests are aimed is concerning the Lord's Supper, which Professor McUiffert considers as an unpremeditated act, not instituted by Christ as a perpetual memorial. This contradicts the statement of the Westminster Catechism. It is possible that another heresy trial is in store for the Presbyterian Church.— The Cong) igationalist. It seems pj bable that Professor MeGiffeit of Union Seminary will find it expedient to withdraw from the Pies byterian Church. It appears that he discredits the testimony of Luke 22:111, "This do in remembrance of me ;" also of Paul, I Cor. 11:24, 26, to the same effect. At the same time he emphasizes the absence of the above quoted clause in the account of the Last Supper, as given by Matthew and Mark. He also discredits the universal attestation of the early Apostolic Church to the institution of the Supper as a permanent commemorative ordinance. Dr. McGiffert seems to overlook the obviously commemorative character of the Supper, as implied, though not directly expressed by Matthew and Mark. It may be said that this loose and conjectural way of dealing with evidence is characteristic of all the work of the leading "Higher Clitics." McGiffert is only following the foolish methods of his teachers, proving his own incompetency to write History. Mr. Theo. H. Davies on the night of the sth entertained at dinner 225 employees of the Honolulu Iran Works, of which he is the president. A considerable number of the workers were native Hawaiians. The place of the entertainment was Independence Hall. Addresses were made by Mr. Davies and Mr. Young, the former superintendent, both of whom are to be congratulated upon the success and development of the great establishment. �Vol. 56, No. 4.] Varied Work of Board of Health.

Mrs. Fanny Andrews Shepard Appeals for Help. Mrs. Shepard of Aintab has written in behalf ol the children orphaned by the massacres of Armenians, to Mrs. A. F. J mid. Portions of the letter have been published in the P. C. Advertiser. Lacking space for much ol it, we select some points stattd as follows: Armenia was laid waste two years ago. hT>,OOO perished, mostly men, and nearly all the property of the Armenians was destroyed. 50,000 children were orphaned. Of the most promising, 2000 have been gathered into Orphan homes by the missionaries. Twenty five dollars a year is needed for the support of each child. Dr. Shepard remains at bis post, doing the work of three men. His surgical and clinic work is immense, much of it growing out ol the massacres. lit is also President ol the College, and 'Treasurer of the various Relief Funds. A great Industrial woik has been prosperously carried on for tiie help of the destitute Armenians, Mrs. Shepard will soon return to Aintab. She leaves hci two daughters in school at Obcrlin. The Woman's Board have taken up the subject of contributing farther aid to the above cause. at length Our whole community unite in lament ing the unexpected removal by death of Mrs. Mary Schmidt, the beloved wife of Senator 11. W Schmidt, whose seven children are bereaved of a mother of rare txcellence. 'The two elder children last month united with the Central Union Church, greatly to the satisfaction of the now departed mother, who had led them in the Heavenly way. Bishop Willis is credibly reported as speaking of the sad social and religious conditions in Great Britain at the time the S. P. C. K. was formed. "In the previous century the monasteries had been destroyed. There was no religion and morality was sadly lacking. There had been practically a relapse into infi delity. The poor lived in ignorance and brutality." Being familiar with the medieval leanings of the excellent Bishop, we feel justified in understanding him to at tribute the alleged decline ol religion in the 17th century to the abolition of the monasteries in the Kith! We "NonConformists" read English Church History very differently. A new pipe organ was inaugurated on the evening of the sth, in the Bishop Memorial Chapel on the Kamehameh School groends. Many Organ recitals were given by Wiay Taylor, togethei with a variety of musical exercises byothers. The Japanese Want Saki. A petition appears in the Senate in behalf of the Japanese in Hawaii, to whom it is a grievance that the duty upon their favorite rice wine or Saki w.is increased from 15 cents to one dollar a gall >n. Now they cannot afford to buyit. Intelligent investigation leaves no doubt that these laborers will do more work without alcoholic stimulus, be happier, healthier, more vigorous, and in better temper. For them to buy Saki is a waste of their small earnings, with injury to health. It may not be wise to prohibit them altogether from gratifying a perverted appetite. But it is kindness to them to make indulgence more difficult. Saki is a poisonous liquor, heavilycharged with methy lie alcohol. If made cheap, natives also will buy it, to their great injury in h. alth and pocket. Execution of Japanese Murderers. On Friday, March 25th, the two Japanese woman-slayers, Yoshida and Sagata, suffered the extreme penalty of the law at the Oahu Prison. Their photographs indicate extremely degraded characters. One killed another man's wife, for refusing his advances. 'The other sold his wife, and then slew her and her child for her refusal to submit. By the devoted labors of Pastor Tahira of the Japanese Methodist Church, these two wretched men were brought to repentance, and were baptized into Christ January 2nd. They appeared truly humbled and penitent, and died with prayers upon their lips Divine mercy and human justice have alike been magnified in their deaths. [April, 1898 Rainfall and Flood. During the middle of the day on the 21th, from two to three inches of rain fell in the different sections of Honolulu in about three hours. In Nuuanu Valley, about six inches fell in the same time. Heavy floods ensued from both Nuuanu and Panoa Valleys, the streams uniting about 200 yards north of Kaumakapili Church, with the result of flooding the depressed sections in that vicinity as well as near the Chinese theaters. Some fifty dwellings occupied by Ilaw.iiians and Asiatics were filled to a depth of several feet in a few minutes, and most of the clothing and furniture wet. A large number of boats were carted up from the wharves and used to rescue some hundreds of people from their distressing situation. Several hundred dollars were subscribed for the relief of the sufferers. A Japanese house painter, active in helping others, was carried away by the stream and drowned in going under a bridge. A brave sailor named Wm. Wells who had plunged in to save him was carried under with him, and barely escaped the same fate. The water was nearly over the floor of the bridge. 'The new bridges were in much danger of giving way. The Editor can personally testify thai Pauoa stream has reached no such height before during his past twenty years residence on its bank. Nuuanu stream poured a torrent from the upper bridge down the street for a quarter of a mile. From 'Thomas Square eastward, King Street became a deep canal. The Waikiki rice fields became a lake from the Manoa and Palolo floods. Later reports shows that 301 persons were driven from their homes by the flood near Beretania Street.

It had for sometime been apparent that the requisite two thirds of the Senate could not be secured to pass the Treaty for annexing Hawaii. On March 16, Chairman Davis of the Committee on Foreign Relations introduced into the Senate a Joint Resolution for the Senate and House of the same purport as the Treaty. It is expected that this measure will pass both Houses, it is hoped, with out much delay. 'This step is regarded as showing encouraging progress towards the desired result. Possible War with Spain. The dark shadow of not improbable war with Spain was, at last advices, looming somewhat heavily on the horizon of the United States. There is still much reason to hope that Spam may prove yielding to such demands as the United States may be compelled to make The financial pressure upon Spain is extremely heavy. In case of war, Spain will certainly lose the Philip pines, as well as Cuba. 'These consi derations may force her to yield. The strongest pressure for action by the United States appears to be, less from the Maine affair, than from the urgent need of relief to the 300,000 survivors semaining from the (1(10,000 Cubans whom Spanish brutality had gathered into the towns to starve. Such horrors at their doors cannot much longer be endured by the United States. No Change in the Oath. A bill presented in the House to the Constitution by omitting from the oath required of all voters the promise not to encourage or assist in the restoration ol establishment ola nionar chial form of government. The reason uiged for the change was in order to conciliate the natives, and induce them to participate in legislation. 'The proposition was rejected by a vote of 10 to 5.

'This feeling seems to be correctlyanalyzed in the following paragraph of editorial. "Butjbehind that is the racial feeling of The great suspicion of the white. majority of natives, unfortunately thriftless in their ways, attribute their lack of prosperity to the grasping and selfish conduct of the whites, including Mr. Davies.

Smith this the result of an school lost one of its founders and main supporters. This, among other causes, make's necessary some new provision for the continuance of the school. It would seem that an institution of such importance should be associated with some permanent organization; and the ques tion now arises whether it would not be well for the Hawaiian Board to take it in charge, as was finally done in the case of the Kohala Girls School. Steps are now being taken to bring this about. The 'Trustees of the school have asked the Hawaiian Board to take it and its appurtenances in fee, and the Board has given its qualified acceptance. 'The matter now up is to find a Board of Managers that will act foi the Hawaiian Board in the conduct and care of the It is probable that the old school. Board of Trustees will be asked, ami it is thought that they will accept. In taking this school the Hawaiian Board would be following out, in a very piacti cal manner, its mission as a conservator of every good influence. If the Hawaiian Board assumes the care of the school it should receive the generous support of all, especially of those who dwell on the Garden Island. In proportion to its size and population, Kauai is the richest island on the group, and there should be no difficulty in securing ample support for this, its only school for manual training. Six weeks ago $10,000 were asked for the Board to clear the obligations of the fiscal year closing May 16th. $3,000 of this sum have come in and $7,000 are wanted to make the treasurer cease wincing when asked to pay out salaries that are due. . Taxes for 1897. A summary of ail the Islands shows that the total taxes realized amounted to $796,752.J54.

The white pay a total taxation of $408,762.61, which is in the neighborhood of $10,000 greater than the taxes paid by all other nationalities. The bulk of these taxes are levied As indicating their upon property. prosperity, it is gratifying to see that the pure and part-Haw,mans, numbering over one third of the population, are paying over one sixth of the taxes, and one-third as much as the whites. It is evident that the natives are very largely sharing in the immense prosperity of their white neighbors, s , the Manager of the great Ewa Sugar Plantation, contributes the following facts through the P. C. Advertiser, 'The standing rate of pay for adult Portuguese laborers is SIM a month, with house, fuel, and medical attendance free. It ranges from this to Sod a month according to capacity ami nature of services. 'The last lot of Portuguese imported were shipped at SUi per month, including above named privileges. It cost the planters $300 each to bring them here. Two-thirds of them are now receiving per month. from JUS to We believe that a majority of the laborers at Kwa are Japanese at Sl a month, including above privileges. On each of these the planter has paid about $ft<) each, as cost of importing. They are far inferior to Portuguese. The foregoing figures fail to show that Hawaiian planters enjoy any special advantage of "cheap labor,' as alleged by our Sugar Trust enemies. Their chief advantage is in superior machinery and in skill in cultivation and manufacture. We have good sod, and fertilize it well. Mr. W. J.

That Society would seem to have the precedence ill time. By 1674 Eliot had gathered fou leeti cdmmunitit i of pr.u ing Indians, inelud ing 110(1 pei sons.

Eliot strove with but partial success to it-sus- citate the old villages into vigoi of lite. Dr. Byington points out that both the Pilgrims and the Puritans had crossed the sea as missionary colonies. Gover nor Bradford says that one reason for coining to New England was "the great hope and inward seal of laying some foundation for propagating the kingdom of Christ in the remote end* <>l tht eaith." The Massachusetts chaitci stales that the principal enrl ol the plantation was to "winn and incite the natives of the Countrie to the knowledge of the true (iod and the Saviour ofmanltinde."

It will be seen how contrary the facts were to the reviling epigram that when the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. " l'hey first (ell upon their knees, and then upon the aborigines." Just so, p..-ople say that witches were burned a: Salem, whereas it was then that in England, France and Germany duzi ns of witches were burned every month, wbeieas in Salem they only hung them, in a single crazypanic and soon bitterly repented of their error. But it is the sins of Ihe saints that are laid up against them; the crimes of old reprobates do not count. . �LETTER May, 1898. THE FRIEND 34 FROM REV. PRICE FRANCIS s The Work at Ruk.

Their wars icioua consist of predatory ami incursions of one par?' into the nnmions of the other, I have never known ol anything like a battle The attacking party endeavoi to k i the enemy by surprise, drivi :' PWa) and plunder their property, ..■"ting down cocoai t and breadfruit trei sai I destroying their bananas and taro, c enemy shows resistance they retire and lire it them from a safe distance. Often the attack ing party will steal in upon a village and if there are any defenseless persona in the place they will murder them, but if the villagers are on their gu ird they will fire a shot and run. Foi this reason the chief keeps a guard about him. I have known oily one person killed in an attack of that nature ; the killed are usually defenseless parties who are surprised while out at sea in a boat, or walking apart from theii friends—men, women and children are ruthlessly intir dered if thus caught. The causes oi war are usually personal (|u.riels about women, or food or land, which result in the killing of one part). Sometime! a powerful chief is envied by other chiefs who combine and try to humiliate him. The following notes are in point: Feb. Ist. A horrible case of hutch-rv on one of the islands ol Faitruk has just been reported to us. The Utet people have long been at war with their neighbors on Kemalum and last week the Remalum people sent word to the chiefs of Utet that they desired to make peace and asked that a deputation of chiefs and principal men be sent to determine the conditions.

I said: ''We kniw these things because we have a book sent ns from God, and I come to you because you need this book. When you are out fishing at night, yon carry torches that you may see your Way, ar.d if you had no torch you would fall down over the rocks and into !he holes of mud and water. This book will be a torch to you and show you how to live and how to die." There were about seventy five present and they wire quiet and attentive. After the sermon I talked with the chiefs about salvation throngh Jesus and asked if I should come again. They said "O yes," but as according to the Ruk saying, "You never can tell what is in I Ruk man's: iieart by what he says," I left Josia and Moses behind thinking that they would tell them the truth. As I went out the boys all followed me and were delighted when I pulled off my shoes md stockings to wade out to our boat to see my white feet. 'They walked by my side chattering gayly among themselves, asking questions and reply ing with evident delight to my inquiries. Poor little boys ! so bright, so interesting, so helpless, with hearts as destitute of knowledge of God and all good as their bodies were bare of clothing, get ting ready to take their father's places in deeds of shocking immorality and horri ble cruelty. God helping we will deliver them from this awful destiny. Just as our boat w.ts ready io shove off while I was seated astern, some one touched me on the shoulder and I looked up into the face of the young chief, Onopat, whose large eyes looked kindly on me as he said: "Mr. Price, I want you to come and see us again, good bye," as he stretched out his big hand covered with paint for a shake. I grasped his hand and said: "I shall not fail to come." My boys shoved the boat off, the little boys stood back, we waved a farewell and were soon out in the open sea whete we were picked up shortly after by our schooner. There was a strong wind and our ship made for a sheltered harbor under the lee of Fanupenges, a small island three miles east of Tol where we dropped anchor a little after sunset. After supper a young chief from Fanu penges, seeing our light came off with a small paity to see us. He was a bright, energetic young man and assured us that there was nothing that he wanted so much as the Christian religion on his pulse had reached him, a voice fiom one he did not know had spoken to him, about the "rtligion of life" and he wanted it for himself and people. Late that night we bade the young chief adieu, promising to come on a visit to his island, and our hearts praised (rod for the opening door for the gospel in Faitruk. Early next inoining we were under weigh for Fauna, a small island in the north eastern pait ol tin lagoon, with a population of 1.10, where we have a church and a teacher, Joses with his wite Kamlatn. At Fauna we had good meetings and the impression made was deep. Many of the people promised to put away heathenism, and the chief who is also deacon of the church, seemed greatly encouraged and promised to repair the church and take a more active interest in the work. Another chief who is a heathen, and tribal brother of Noa, expiesscd his purpose to change his manner of life. On the whole the outlook for the little chinch is bright, Jopes never was in a way to do better work and we felt greatly encouraged for the future. 'The following morning found us at home on Xi namue. We were absent four days, traveled about .10 miles, held communion services in three churches, baptized nineteen adults and twenty seven children, preached the gospel for the first time on Fawsawn, and effected an open ing for the gospel on Faitruk. We believe that heathenism is beginning to retreat before Christianity in the Ruk lagoon and that the long night of daik ness is breaking away btfore the rising of the Sun of Righteousness. Sept. 2Nth. Early in the morning of the 10 inst. a loud and prolonged "Sail Ho !" from all over Kutua announced the approach of the Morning Star and at 9 o clock she di tipped anchor near Kmamue, two days after the death of Our dear little Agnes who fell asleep We weie glad to see our Sept. beloved ship, to grasp the hand of our good Captain Bray, to welcome Heulah Logan who came to be associated with her mother in the school work, to meet Miss Olin and Miss Wilson from Kusaie, and Mr. Alexander whom we knew in Oakb.nd, and to make the acquaintance of the officers and men on the Star. The latter are all Christian men and Capt. Bray seems justly proud of his good crew. On Sunday the Captain was too ill to come ashore and on Monday we brought him to our house wheie [May, 1898 he remained ten days held by a severe attack of remittent fever. His sickness kept the Star with us two weeks and the officers came to church and took part in our -services much to the delight and edili it ion of our people. A trip to Uman and a service in ihe church were also participated in by them. We regretted the Captain's illness but enjoyed the long visit. Trip to Moa.Ti.ocK Is., Ponapi and Eastern Islands. While the Star was with us it was decided that she should carry us to the Mortlocks. Ponape and othci islands to the Fast, and so on the 27th of September, with Miss I-'oss. Mrs. Price. Moses and myself on board from Kuk, ihe stood away for Etal in the M' ■ -. gioop. It was very pleasant alter '.nocking about in that lit tit- schooner to get on the roomy Star, (I thought she was a miserably cooped up thing wh. I first boarded her at Honolulu: then I went on board from the Mariposa, this time from the schooner, and our experiences on board were a delightful recreation). In the Morllock Islands we visited all the churches, htld a brief service, the officers of the Star participating, and left the teachers and people much encouraged and strengthened as we I ope; but our movements weie rapid and on Saturday, after visiting six chur:'.ies in two days we stood off for Pom- ie where we arrived on Wednesday, Oct tuh, having encountered head winds all tr.e way. Ponape is interesting not only because it is the seat of the Spanish (iov rnment in the Eastern Caroline grnu , and the island is the largest, hut beci 'ise of the pathetic history of the Chli h here. We Were not privileged to visit the old stations, but some of the teachers and Christians came to us and we ained ihe following from them: There is a strong reaction against the Catholics arising from a clearer undei ■tanning of their methods, but piobably it more against the Spanish authority than the Catholic Church; and perhaps a lingering love for those who titst brought to them the Word of Life may have something to do with it. The fact remains, however inadequate the explanation. Christianity has a holtl upon the peopl". Its teachings, promises, warn ings, have undoubtedly mitigated the cruelties ol heathenism, destroyed then petty vars and restrained from acts of violence and lust, and there arc a "chosen few"' who are endeavoring to overcome the world, the flesh and the devil, ami to live soberly and righteously in the midst ola ickt d and perverse people. They ■ have til the weaknesses of the Micione sian icople and the added vice of the drink habit. The latter is most devastating and the center of its destructive work is the Spanish colony and ( aptain Narrhun's saloon.

We should pray, most earnestly that God will open the way for a missionary to reside among them soon; but let no one (latter him sell by thinking he can slip into Ponape. The priests have no thought of allowing a missionary to reside there, and the priests rule. In a letter just received from Henry Nanapei, a Christian chief of Ponape, he says: "1 am sorry to say that those Spanish priests are getting their backs up .\m.\ there is every probability of theil trying to make trouble. The govt rnoi too seems to side in with them in everything they say and do. It seems very singular that we cannot be permitted to carry on our Christian work without being harassed by those Catholic priests. However, we are deteimined not to be enticed or intimidated by any thing they can do or say. We beg you to pray for us that we may be saved from the arbitrary and despotic powei of our enemies.'' Let Christians remembei this request for Ponape. We had a pleas ant visit with the governor who seems, in some respects, a more than ordinary man. Mokil. On Friday the Star left us and on Tuesday, Oct rJth; we were on our little schooner and under weigh foi Mokil. 'This little island, 'JO miles east of Ponape. has a population of I 7:">, is beginning to put on an appearance ol civilization, has many wooden houses, and a good church building, which is the center of the religious, a vial, and politi cal life of the island. Mr. Kami had Ins residence here for some tune and his former house is now the native church. They bought also his chains and have since added others, s th ,t there are now more than two dozen in the church. Johnny Higgins, a half caste, is the teacher, and Lepan, a tried christian is the pastor. Our visit was a very pleasant one and our hearts were glad to see what a hold Christianity has on this little community. At I I p.m. >ye bade the kind people farewell and went on board, and at once stood off for Pmgelap, tia miles farther east. Pinollai'. We spent Saturday, Oct.

I was below when they arrived and on coming on deck I saw a very large native, clothed conspicuously wiih a heavy, double breasted, woolen coat, "all buttoned down before," with two nuts ot brass buttons.

These two groups represented parties to a quarrel between the teaihei Tiiinas, and the king. The greetings weie hearty and the- utmost good feeling seemed to prevail. We went to ihe teacher's house but the king and his party remained on thru own side. The 900 people of this island live, for the most part, in this one village. It is about a mile long, has some foreign houses, among which aie the teacher's, a neatly painted cottage, and the king's, unpainted.

Evidently we must try to bring thesi parties together. I asked 'Tomas if the king would come to the church fin the opening service, and he said he would tell them that such was "my command." Hut fearing they might be rebellious, I walked over to the king's chapel while the conch was sounding. 'The people had assembled but had not decided to go to the stone church. I went into the little chapel, Called the king and deacons to the front and held a brief service. At the close I asked them to come to the service in the church and satisfied now that they bad had the first service they consented and went over in a body. 'The stone church was well filled and the interest good. Miss FoSI made an address and I directed my remarks to Ihe case in hand, askeil them what the Uible would be worth if they were to cut it in two and the king held one halt and the teacher the other? If a man were loved by two persons and they were to insist on dividing him between them, what kind of treatment it would be; and with similar illustrations I pressed the folly of being divided. It was evident that the people were tired of the quarrel and t veil Joram beamed on me as point after point was pressed home. After the service I called the king and Tomas with the deacons of the two churches, together for a conference. The king said "1 like 'Tomas, but Tomas hates me."

It appears that The Friend was seriously misled by a defective news paper report of Bishop Willis' address at the S P. C. K. Bicentennial, into "understanding him to attribute the alleged decline of religion in the 17th century to the abolition of the monasteries in the Irtth." His langnage as officially reported in the Honolulu Diocesan Maga zinc, was quite otherwise, as follows: "The previous century had seen the dissolution of the monasteries, and in their place no educational agency, save a few grammar Schools, had arisen. * * The rebound at the Restoration from the stern godliness of Puritanism had plunged the country into the deepest degradation." We sincerely regret to have misconceived the Bishop's mental attitude on the subject. The winds above quoted are honorable to his breadth of view. A Gruesome Yarn. A Honolulu paper reprints from the Pall Mall Gazette a horrible story reported by the noted pirate Hayes, of how the Morning Star in l*7f landed clothing at Pingelap which gave the natives measles, and destroyed them. It is about such a story as such a man would like to tell about missionaries. Rev. F. M. Price narrates a very interesting visit lately made to Pingelap and its 900 inhabitants on a little atoll. Proposed Portuguese Emigration to Timor. An effort, apparently by the Government of Portugal, is being made to enlist Portuguese families in Hawaii to cmi grate to Timor. No doubt the conditions of some of the Portuguese here are unfavorable; but any that go to Timor, we feel assured, will look back on Hawaii as a Paradise.

The Treasurer of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association reports a shortage in the funds tais year. The Fiscal year of the Hoard closes on the iftth of May, and it will require about $4,. >o<) to pay up all obligations and close the year out of debt. As many of the friends most interested in the objects and work of the Hawaiian Hoard are receiving unusually large incomes this year, we have faith to believe that this whole amount will be received, and no retrenchment in the work will be necessary. r Report of "Morning Star." Honolulu, H. 1., April 15, 1898. Ki-v. O. P. Kmkrson, Corresponding Secretary H. E, A. In accordance with the written schedule for the 15th voyage of the Morning Star, as approved by the Hawaiian Board, and submitted by yourseif, as a working hypothesis, subject to amendment in any changes that might be necessary during the progress of the voyage, I beg to submit the following: We sailed from Honolulu at 3:.i0 p.m. July 28, 1897, altogether too deeply loaded, with Miss lleulah Logan for Ruk, M'.ss Jessie Hoppin, Miss Km ma Kane and Miss Jenny Olin for Kusaie, and Mr. L. Mitchell for Tapiteuea or Apaiang. Aug. 4th, at B:'/fl p.m., in Lat. 7 67' N., and Long. 172° -18' \V., between Honolulu and the Gilbert Islands, we saw what we supposed at first to be a very large tree drifting with the waves. Upon a nearer approach it proved to be a tremendous coral lock, with two projections above water a most dangerous obstacle to navigation, especially to the Morning Slur on her way to the Gilbert Islands from Honolulu. Aug. I Ith we crossed the meridian of 180° and discarded that clay. Aug. 13th we sighted and passed Byron and Peru Islands, at daylight of the 14th sighted Tapiteuea, and anchored there at noon and landed all the freight at the north end, as Mr. Kaaia was away at the south end. It being Saturday night before the boat returned, we were obliged to remain over the Sabbath, when Mr. Kaaia called on board. Aug. 18th we anchored at Maiana at 41 THE FRIEND 9 p.m., landed the freight, and went t° Apaiang the next clay, the 19th, after a call from Mr. Mahihila. We landed Mr. Mitchell at Apaiang station from the west passage in a dead calm, and experienced the first grand benefit of our little gasoline launch in towing the loaded boat about eleven miles back and forth. Miss Hoppin availed herself of a short call on the king's wife, one of her former pupils Aug. 26th twenty nine days from Honolulu we anchored in "Morning Star harbor, Kusaie, and landed passengers, freight, lumber, took in fresh water, and Sept. 3rd went to weather harbor for wood. Sept. 4th we sailed from Kusaie for Kuk, Miss Olin going along for the trip. Sept. 6th we hove to at Pingelap for an hour and had a reception on board. The natives, and teacher Thomas, seemed more than delighted and thankful for the occasion. Sept. I Oth we anchored at Ruk, and were discharging lumber and goods till the 18th. Having been taken with a fever the day of our arrival, I was confined till Sept. 27th when, although not in good condition for duty, we sailed for the Mortlocks at the earnest request of all the Ruk missionaries, taking Mr. and Mrs. Price and Miss Foss as passengers. After brief stops at two stations in Lukunor—four at Satoan and one at Etal, we went to Ponape where we arrived Oct. 6th, and left our passengers to be called for by the ft. ll'. Logan, to visit Pingelap and Mokil and be returned to Ruk. We anchored the second time at Kusaie Oct. 12th on our return trip from Ruk. Oct. 18th after tilling bunkers with coal, taking in fresh water, boating goods from station, cleaning ship, etc., we sailed from Kusaie for the Marshall Islands with Dr. and Mrs. Rife, Miss Hoppin and Miss Olin, and fifty natives. Oct. 23rd we anchored at Jaluit. The 26th at Kbon. The 28th stood off and on at Namerik, and anchored at Ailinglaplap the 29th. We anchored at Namu Nov. Ist, at Kwajalong Nov. 3rd, at Lac Nov. sth, at Woltho Nov. Bth, at Ujae Nov. 10th, and having finished the Ralick Chain we sailed for the Ratack Nov. I 2th. Nov. 18th anchored at Mille, Nov. 2|st and 22nd at North and South stations at Arno, where we lost the starboard anchor stock. 24th and 28th at east and west end of Mejuro, Nov. 30th at Aurk, Dec. Ist at Malwonlap, Dec. 4th and sth off and on at Mejit, and had narrow escape from reef. Dec. 7th at Ailuk for a first visit, but natives would not accept a teacher. Dec. Oth and 10th at Motje, Dec. 13th returned to Jaluit with ship and all hands well used up with the usual terrible squalls of wind and rain and high seas ot that season of the year. We remained three days at Jaluit setrigging, bending and repairing sails. Dec. 18th anchored again (the third time) at Kusaie after sixty one days absence, with the Marshall Islands work finished. Dec. 30th after a long stay and busy time at Kusaie we sailed for the Gilbeil Islands with Mr. Walkup and thiity seven natives on board. After a desperate struggle of twentytwo days against head wind and waves, beating to the east, we anchored at Tapiteuea again Jan. 21st, 18518, and left there Jan. 24th with Messrs. Kaaia and I'aaluhi and their families on board, for Honolulu. Jan. 2 4 anchored at Nonouti where we received a home mail via ting up Australia. Jan. 29th at Apamama, Feb. Ist at Muiana, Feb. 3rd at Tarawa, Feb. sth at Apaiang, when we took on board Mr. Mitchell for Honolulu. Feb. Bth at Marakei, Feb. 9th at Hutaritari, Feb. 11th sent boat to Makin with Mr. Walkup from the north end of Hutaritari lagoon. Messrs. Andersen and Skumfelt came on board at that island for Honolulu. Feb. 16th and 17th off and on at Ocean or Panapa Island. Feb. 21st returned to Kusaie (the 4th time) with the Gilbert Island work finished after 54 days. Mr. Walkup had been most faithful in bearing in mind the request of the A. H. C. F. M, and the Hawaiian Hoard for a nine months voyage; and by his energy and well laid plans saved a number of days from the seventy allotted for the Gilbert Island work. The work of these groups could be done at much less time and expense, and vastly more to the comfort of missionaries and all on board, to say nothing of the wear and tear of ship, sails, boats, etc., two or three months earlier in the season. Mr. Walkup made the following proposition concerning a change. "What if Mr. Channon returns next June, to let him clothe Gilbert Island work as quickly as possible on the way from Honolulu to Kusaie. That the Star return to Kusaie from Ruk and do the Marshal Island work quickly as consistent with doing it well, and that the Logan meet the Star at Kusaie with mail on her return from the Marshall Island, and the Star then sail from Kusaie for Honolulu by the first of January. After that sail annually from Honolulu in April.'' If this plan could be arranged it would make very differentand pleasant voyaging for the future. Can it not be done ? Feb. 24th sailed from Kusaie on return trip to Honolulu with Miss Palmer, Miss Wilson, P. H. Kimm, C. Ingalls and Lanien and wife as additional passengers. Owing to the lateness of the passengers coming on board it was dusk when we left the harbor, and for the first time �May, 1898. THE FRIEND 42 (and the only one) on the voyage we touched lightly on the side of a shoal. Feb. 26th anchored at Ponape, took in water, yams and provisions, and sailed Feb 2Hth for Ruk. after affording Miss Palmer and Miss Wilson an oppotunity to visit one of the Protestant missions. Mar. 3rd we anchored the second time at Ruk, painted the ship outside while waiting for the returning missionaries and mail, and sailed for Honolulu Mar. 7th (the date set by Hawaiian Hoard) with Mrs. Price and daughter Helen and Miss Foss, also John Higgins and two children from Mokil, going to Honolulu for a visit. 'Twenty-four passengers in all, the limit allowed the vessel by the U. S. Inspector. We have steamed 1208 hours or '■ 0 days. Anchored 57 times. Boated 655 miles. Had 189 passengers and sailed 15119 miles. Run from Ruk to Honolulu SH days and 20 hours. Respectfully submitted, Isaiah Hrav, Master. A Friend of the Japanese. The recent death of Mr. Mai tin has greatly discouraged US, He was a most zealous and consecrated helper of the Japanese work in Hilo. From the be ginning of the work in Hilo to the last ofhis life here, he had, without wavering, been the worthy, influential Superintend ent of the Sabbath School of Hilo Japanese Church. And most faithfully and interestedly did he help during the nearly ten years as it were but a day. Naturally I have realized some such a relation between our late helper and the Japanese, as that between father and son, and it is by no means strange tnat we have particularly respected him and are extremely discouraged as we think of our father who has passed away. I wish to tell my friends that the Japanese honor him greatly and grieve very much over his death not simply because he was, for a long while, super intendent of the Sabbath School. I think I can discern an additional reason. It is because he gave a great spiritual impulse to the Japanese, helping them to the last. He liked the Japanese: deeply and intimately, he loved them. 'This love produced the close relation; this love helped the work of Christ; this love we cannot forget; this love was the reason. When I came to Hilo in 1895, he asked me to call on him every day. So from that date I visited him as often as possible. One week before his death, he said to me, "I am much belter to day; I wish to go down to your church next Sunday and to sing with your people the hymn I like." The hymn is "In the Cross of Christ I glory." And when he saw me three hours before he passed away, he whispered "very glad." This was the word I had from him. How wonderfully deep was his love for the Japanese, my dull pen can never tell it. S. T. Cm ha. Hilo, April 21, 1898. Annual Meeting or Honolulu Y. M. C. A. The annual anniversary meeting of the Honolulu Young Men's Christian Association had a very large attendance at their commodious hall on the evening of April 2tith. The following officers for the coming year were installed: President—Walter C. Weetlon. Vice President Edwin Banner, Recording Secretary Chas F. Rice. Treasurer Fdwin A. Jones. Directors Walter C. Weedon, Fdwin Henner, Chas. F. Rice, H. F. Heardmore, Fdwin A. Jones, P. H. Dotlge, Clive Davies, C. B. Ripley, Walter F. Frear. There were official and other addresses, annual reports of Committees, musical exercises, a sale of pictures, and serving of refreshments. Prom the various reports we select the following items: 'The membership roll shows 1 |S new names added during the year. I 89 Gymnasium classes have been held' with an attendance of 2,822. under Mr. M. E. Cheek. The Makiki league baseball O rounds have been leased lor athletic work. The Reading Room has 71 magazines and papers. In the educational work, two terms of 13 weeks each have been held, and classes instructed in Arithmetic, Grammar, Spelling, Geography, Writing, Typewriting and Shorthand, Hook-keeping, Mechanical Drawing, Civil Government, and Commercial Law. There have been 77 students, of seven nationalities, and many occupations. During the year 12.') religious meetings were held, with a total attendance of 5,990. There were 26 sessions of Hible Classes. There were 46 meetings in Oahu Jail, and 157 meetings on shipboard. The Treasurer's report showed receipts during the year $5,457.58, and disbursements $5,447.25. $1,278,25 were rereived for dues, again of $541 on last year. On pledges and donations $3,083 were realized. In the address of the retiring president, Mr. A. H. Wood, were the following notable words: "While the work has gone on quietly, earnest effort has been expended, with no end in view but ennobling young manhood to the point ot recognizing in — Jesus Christ, the perfect man and the acceptance of him as an all sufficient saviour. Christian citizenship is the apple of the Association eye. Sober, industrious and intelligent (rod-fearing men are the nation's strength and therefore this building with all its equipment stands open every day and evening for the benefit of the men of this commonwealth." In President Weed on'i address, he said: "Our institution stands midway between the church and the world. No other society or institution occupies such ground; for while its genius is to reach out after young men, to 'throw out the Luc Line,' 'lower the Life Boat,' to ie\. ue. lift up, elevate and ennoble, and to set young men in the pathway of true manhood; its loftier aim and grander mission is, to bring them as the Sons of the Lord God Almighty: and this work, largely neglected and overlooked by the church proper has fallen into the hands and become the legitimate work of the Y. M. C. Association." Our own view has been that the Y. M\ C. A. was a direct outgrowth and is a leading instrument of the churches; as much so as missionary Hoards, and Hible and Trast Societies. Hut Mr. Weetlon is himself an active church man. Siberian Railway and Quick Travel. Semi-official announcement appears that through travel will begin next summer upon the railway from St. Petersburg to Vladivostock, 'The time will be ten days. It is estimated that the globe may be circled by this route in thirtythree days, as follows: St. Petersburg to Vladivostock 1 0 days. Vladivostock to San Francisco I 0 " San Francisco to New York l'_-" New York to Bremen 7 Bremen to St. Petersburg, I, 1 J" Sixteen days by railway and seventeen by steamer. The opening of the Siberian Railway will add a most portentous element to the political and commercial powers now beginning to develop in this great ocean, thus enhancing the evident indispensable importance of Hawaii to the United States. Russia seems destined to become the most formidable Power on the " western Pacific. By means of this Siberian Railway, enlarged as it will rapidly be, Russia will soon pour in many millions of her enormous population to occupy her Pacific territories, develop their mines and agriculture, and create there a new empire. A vast commercial element will be added to this ocean. With it, new military and naval necessities will arise for America, which must lose no time in securing Hawaii. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

When they learned that the schooner was becalmed and had floated away, they said: "O, now you can teach us another day.' I was grieved to learn that Captain had a claim- of $500.00 against J the people. In Ruk they the traders are afraid,to trust the people, but where we have'taught them to be honest they run them in debt and make slaves t>( them.

The Nama people gave nic (50.0(1 with which to purchase lumber for a floor for their church, and they propose to repair their house of Worship this year. Nama is virtually a christian island now and I am confident that, if no one inter feres with it, we shall see nine and more thefruitsofChristianity among her people. LOSAP. Early the following morning a squall came on and the schooner sailed up close to the shore and picked us up, and then stood away for Losap whcie we dropped anchor at Ii in. Tiotore has been here for a year and although a good man, he is very imperious and too severe.

The people gave Christians is growing, and material them a warm welcome, and we hope improvements are observable. A conthey will do good work. Three were siderable number are putting up wooden received into the church here and the houses. When I told Era about the burning meetings were interesting, but because scholars with work here was so largely with refer ence to adjusting the case between the chief and Tiotore the spiritual results were not especially marked. Pis. vVe spent Sunday on this little island which has a population of less than 200, h til interesting meetings, received seven into the .church, ami married four couples. Light months ago we placed Pi lip and Elsie on this island Filip was one ol the best boys Klsie, Ins wile, we cvei had about us. had been faithful for years and had our fires of temptation, maintaining a Christian life, but no passed through placed on Losap than she began to practice sorcery, and having allured a young man away from his wile, consorted with him. Her fall was terrible and the effect serious, but Justi nia of whom we have written before, held the church together after Filip came away and faithfully taught daily and on Sunday in the church without hopes of compensation. She and her husband wanted to come with me and enter the school but he is a worthless fellow and I could not bring them. At Pis we left Erastus and Pinia who have been with ns nearly a year. She is bright but be is dull not to say stupid. He is, however, a good man and we hope that they can hold the church together until we have a good teacher to put there. Our hearts are glad for what the Lord is doing in these three islands. Chris tianity is gaining a hold, the vices of heathenism are slinking away into hid ing, a new era is approaching with new ideas and new institutions, and although heathen customs still cling to the older people, they have lost their former grip, for Christian customs approve them selves to all both old and young. "And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them ye are not my people; there shall they be called the people of the living God." We were compelled to turn back to Ruk from this place, but two weeks later found us again on the sea directing our course to Namaluk, I 10 miles from our anchorage at Kinamue. I have always had special interest in the Namaluk people. Their island is a lonely one, 39 miles from their near neighbor, there is no anchorage so that the schooners can not stop with them, and they have very little to sell so that their lives are very much shut in, lira is the teacher here and deserves mention as one who resisted the temptation to sell the offerings and pocket the moneys. His church never was in a better condition, we received '11 members, the largest number sootier was she of the Kuku Chinch he said: "The Ruk people will have to receive a good thrashing before they will accept Christianity." Others share in this opinion and it may be that the sword will have to cleave a way for the Gospel but I hope gentle means will avail. EtaL. -We went ashore at this island Sunday morning and met the people in a service. Never have I seen a sadder change that this church has had during the past year. The chief and teacher, Sami, have been quarreling for nearly the whole year past and the people are discouraged and scattered. To make matters worse, Sami the teacher had run away, probably because he feared to face tht people in my presence. The matter was adjusted as well as could be but there is probably more trouble ahead. This teacher is probably ruined, the church has lost its grip on spiritual realities, is torn by divisions and weaktor lack of spiritual nourishment. Moreover it is now known that the teacher is set on continuing the fight—encouraged to do so by the man who is largely responsible for the state of things in this place. Motr. Eera, the teacher at Motr is one of the most successful on the Mortlock Islands, and his church is in a veryprosperous condition. I spent the night on shore in his house, and the people crowded in to hear the news asking questions and seemingly as interested in hearing, as I was in relating, events of recent occurrence. I told the stories of missionary work, gave an account of our recent voyage to Ponape and east ward and related incidents concerning men in America, President McKinley claiming his share of attention. At the services on the following day the house wos crowded. Twenty-nine were received into the church and six couples married the old man of whose conversion I wrote last year and he and his old wife were married as they desired according to the rites of the church. It was a touching sight to see this old man tottering on the verge of the grave standing up to confess Christ and receive baptism. He was an eleventh hour laborer, but who can say that he should not receive even as the others. He may rise up in judgment and condemn many an old man in America who living under the blazing light of the Gospel is not willing to repent and enter even at the eleventh hour. May God pity the old everywhere who know not our Lord Jesus. Many old people were received at this- communion.

Twenty years ago the people were all heathen ami addicted to all the heathen vices; today they are God's people and "showing forth the praises of Him who hath called them out of darkness into His marvellous light; which in time past were not a people but are now the people of (rod." All glory to our glorious Lord ! Of the other islands of this Satoan lagoon I need not say much Shimna of Kuku deserves special mention as one who refused to sell the offerings, and his church is united and growing in intelligence and righteousness. Two promising couples joined us here. At Ta, ToaVO is still at work. There was a decided improvement observed in the singing and some other things but the past jear has not been as successful us some in the past. There was talk about his wife Arkela, and although nothing was proven against her, yet I am in doubt. She is a weak, giddy, though pretty woman and I fear Joao will have to take her home sooner or later. Here Mr. Ko, a Samoan trader, was married to a Ta girl. As we were going out to the schooner and had reached the reef some one from on shore called us to wait, a canoe pushed out from the shore and as it drew near I recognized the old chief Coas. He was unable to walk and had asked his people to carry him to me. He arrived just as we were leaving. His canoe came alongside of ours, he greeted me warmly and after a few minutes spent in con versa tion, he bade me farewell. I shall pro bahly never see him again but I shall not soon forget this old chief and his affection and I pray arid believe that he will be among those whom I shall greet on the other shore among the redeemed from the isles of th? South Seas. At Satoan the meetings were fair, an interesting feature being the presence of all the Satoan teachers, whose needs were not forgotten in tne service. Piii, the teacher here, talks well hut I feel that he needs a spiritual blessing and pray God that he may receive it soon.

Five new teachers have been placed during the year, and the school bpys hold services in two districts adjoining Kinamue. Thereis a good spirit in the two schools, our daily prayer is for a deepening of the spiritual lives of the pupils and we believe that these are being answered; but we need "showers of blessing." And now in conclusion let me ask all our friends who read tins journal to join their prayers with ours for our work. Remember the teachers in the Mortlock Islands,there art- possibilities of great good in them all, but they are sorely tried. Pray especially for Join, and the large church at Luknnor. Pray for the new woik on Faitruk that this stronghold of heathenisn may be taken for Christ, and pray too for your missionaries in these far away ends of the earth that the power of God may rest upon them, giving them grace to lead holy lives, wisdom rightly to direct the affairs of His church, and such unction in preaching and teaching the truth that they may so speak that a great multitude shall believe on our Lord Jesus, and be saved. And let the praise be to our Common Master for whose sake and in whose name these pages are sent to you with the prayef that they may used to stimulate Christian fee] and contribute in some small degree toward the edifying the glorious church which he has purchased with His own blood.

"A scholarship that results in opposing the plain and reiterated teachings of Christ is certainly not Christian. This criticism has denied all the proofs which Christ gave that the Old Testament was the word of God and foretold him, his work and suffering; and it has denied Christ's competence to teach us concerning the Old Testament. There is not a single qnotation of the Old Testament made by Christ which higher criticism does not pronounce to be an utter historical mistake, to be charitably judged as an adaptation to betttr use. In other words higher criticism has at last come, where all criticism of the Bible must come, to he judged by the teachings of Christ. From Kuenen and Wellhausen down to Marti autl Meinhold, Christ is judged to be an erroneous teacher of the Old Testament. Only in Britain and America do we find the strange contradiction of followers of the higher criticism professing to hold the deity of Christ.

All persons desiring to make habitual use of the drug are to register and receive permits. They are to buy of the Government, and not more than fifty grains in one day. There are heavy penalties for the violation of the law. Senator Baldwin whose good principles and judgment inspire confidence, believes that this law will check the con sumption and prevent smuggling. Others disagree with him. In any case, our expected annexation will admit opium through the Custom House, and so dcs troy our past prohibitory law. Our chief anxiety is for the protection of the natives from the opium curse. The past prohibition has substantially effected that result.

NewOL Dr. Cuthbert Hall quotes the sceptic Renan as "calling Galatians, Romans, and I and II Corinthians 'unquestionable and unquestioned documents.' Westcott says 'the most extreme opinions fix their dates within thirty years alter the Lord's death.' There can then be no doubt of their evidence »s expressing the received opinions of Christians at that date, and there can be no doubt as to the opinion itself. In each of the Epistles the literal fact of the resurrection is the implied or acknowledged groundwork of the apostle's teaching.' "Hume said that 'To establish a miracle, the testimony should he of such a kind that its falsehood would he more miraculous than the fact which it endeavors to establish.' But to account for Christian experience and the Christian Church without theresunection of Christ from the dead requires a theory more miraculous than the theory of the Christian faith. Christianity founded upon a myth would be ten thousand times more wonderful than Christianity founded upon a Christ who rose from the dead. It is not we Christians who must prove that He rose. Let them who deny His resurrection prove that He did not rise." The experimental well of 70 feet depth Molokai, is reported to be a complete success.

This pamphlet embodies a mass of critical inquiries into the various characteristics of the soils of Hawaii, and into the causes of those differences, in the original constituents of the lavas from which they have been formed, and in the various influences to which those lavas were subjected, both at the time of emission, and subsequently. The book is one of profound interest both to the geologist, and to the planter. Dr. Maxwell is eminently qualified to discuss the subject. NuaR n oad. The excellence of the new carnage road down the Nuuanu Pali has created a loud call for a better road up the valley to the Pali. Probably a new route will have to be taken for much of the upper four miles of the road, in order to avoid the present very steep grades. Such a road should belaid out without reference to any former plans for a great Luakaha reservoir. The need of such a reservoir has been removed by the successful and cheap supply of Artesian water pumped to any height needed. When sugar plantations can afford to irrigate wholly by pumping, much more can this city afford to do the same. It is unreasonable to propose a costly and very dangerous reservoir in Nuuanu Valley, when an exhaustless reservoir lies beneath our feet. Besides the great artesian water-beds, it has of late years been discovered that there is another class ofnatural reservoirs of water accessible. The interior of each wet mountain is a vast sponge charged with water. Tunnels run into the mountains, from the bases of inland precipices are quite certain to produce copious flows of water. We venture to suggest to our Department of Water works that they tap the base of Konahuanui mountain which is certainly surcharged with water. Let a single experimental tunnel be run into the base of one of the precipices above Luakaha. The stream of pure water which will ensue, will probably justify the making of a score more of tunnels, which together will give a better supply at less expense than the costly and dangerous dam formerly proposed. Other tunnels might be run under Lanihuh mountain. Manoa and Kalihi valleys would doubtless also yield good results from tunneling. �["June, 1898.

The number ot|church members is over 2,500, there being 1,500 pupils in the schools. These adherents of the mission, includ ing those on the island of Kusaie, con tributed, during the past year, $l,20«. This means that the churches and schools on the islands are practically self supporting. There are Marshall Ids students in the Marshall training school at Kusaie, which is conducted by Dr. Rife five are married, four couples were sent out last year to teach. The island of Ailuk ou being visited refused to receive a teacher and its chief refused to accept the gift of a Bible. On tht island ol Mejij the blowing of a conch shell at 9 p.m. is the signal for all to retire. Three lepers have been discover ed on the island of Lac. They are now quarantined on the island of Jaluit, which is the seat of the government. The Christian Endeavor Society on the island of Ailinglaplap is very active. Christiau Fndeavor societies are being established wherever there are teachers; there are already six societies with a membership of 900. The mission esti mates the population of the group at 13,500; the government estimate is somewhat less, being 11,000. It is the desire of the government that the German language be taught in the schools; part-support is promised if this is dine. It is Dr. Rife's purpose to add German to the curriculum. There are at present no Roman Catholics on the Marshall Islands. Dr. Rife has been called on to do considerable medical work, and he finds it wise to make charges for service sufficient to cover cost of drugs. This makes the Dr. Rift thinks service more valued that the tour of the islands should be made earlier, at least as early as September and October; later than that, voyage among the islands is apt to be stormy. Dr. Rife reports that a day ot twenty-four hours is not long enough to do all it would be well to have done; he makes a plea for an associate. -> : A peculiar state of affairs exists in the island of Ponape, from which we hope in duetime to hear of relief. Ever since 1890, when our missionaries were virtually driven from the field, the care of it has been in the hands of Mr. Nanpei. He has from time to time advised us of the situation and from his representa tions we judge that that which makes his position a difficult one and hinders his work is the meddlesome and intolerant Romish priest. Because of him the Spanish Government, as represented in the island, is not permitted to be impartial. A governor who shows tolerance soon finds his official relations transferred to another part of the Spanish domain. In his last letter of March 7, 1898, Mr. Nanpei reports as follows: "I regret to inform you that just now we are having a rather hard time of it. Our bitter opponents the Catholic priests are trying all they know how, to make things here very unpleasant fir us. Those priests are now able to speak the Pona pean language fluentiv and consequently they have succeededin getting a goodly number of our people to join theirchurch. Now sir, we arc not at all grieved about this; they are at liberty to win over on their side as many as they can. But when they declare that every person on the island must join their church and become ■ Catholic, it is just going too far. At present there is every indication of another uprising on the island. The priests are stirring up and inciting the Catholic natives to coerce our Protestant natives to become Catholics. In the event of another outbreak here, the whole world may he very sure that it was caused by the Catholic priests. I wonder too very much at our present Governor siding with them in all things rhey say and do. It is only a little while since they were talking of burning our schools and churches to the ground. God forbid that they be so foolish as to attempt it." All who are acquainted with the story of Spanish atrocities in Ponape will understand the above statements. But in the readjustments which are surely coming, and in the rebuke which Spanish intolerance has received, we may look for better things for Ponape. That island people have implanted in them by our missionaries the germ of much good. The leaven of the Gospel is there, and those who appreciate its power. A truly great work is being (fine in the Ruk lagoon. There is going on at once in that dark region, the training of young men to be teachers and preachers, and of young women who are to be, or win are now, tneir wives and homebuilders, Entire families are sustained in the relation, children and all; there is the preaching which is given, week days as well as Sunday, to large congregations at the central stations: there is the support of flourishing Sunday schools as well as day schools, the oversight of teachers and preachers and the evangelistic work which is carried on throughout the entire field in the Mortlock islands as well as in the Ruk lagoon, and opening up new islands such as Tol, which has just been visited; there is the erection and maintenance of proper buildings for the mission work wherever needed, the care of the food supply for three fourths of a hundred people, as well as the attention required by the sick— here is work enough for that small group of devoted men and womtn at Kinamue and Falorij on the island of Tolas, and to think of their being persistently hindered and falsified and opposed by a man who, it would seem, is either demented, or basely wicked or both, seems too much for one mission to June,1898. endure. And now come tidings of the war with Spain—who can predict the issue? Those hard-worked missionaries should have our full confidence and sympathy, and Christendom should stand by them against all accusers and disturbers of their work. Mr. Byron O. Clark has been appointed Commissioner of Agriculture in place of Mr. Joseph Marsden who has resigned on account of health. Mr. Clark is organizing "The Hawaiian Fruit and Plant Company, Limited," with a view of raising fruits and vegetables, both native and foreign, in a scientific manner. It is to be hoped that this company will be able, for example, to supply Honolulu with a class of oranges, which will crowd out the California oranges. We have eaten many oranges raised in Honolulu gardens, to whose excellence no California oranges could bear comparison. But there are no skilled fruit raisers at work t.) supply the market. There must be a large opening for profitable labor in raising citrus fruit both for home use and for exportation. A proposition was introduced by the Cabinet into the Legislature for diverting Nuuanu stream away from the harbor to the westward. This did not meet with favor. It was not felt safe to tamper with the ancient an.! natural outlet of the Nuuanu floods. There has been much disagreement about the proper arrangement of wharves near the head of the harbor, at the mouth of the stream. The present decision seems to be a good one, to make long wharves parallel with the direction of the stream, and to excavate between them to 28 feet in depth. Natives Angry with Ex-Queen. A translation of Liliuokalani's Autobiography has been in progress of publication in a native paper. This has aroused among the natives much denunciation of her, on two accounts: first, because she asperses the memory of Queen Emma; and secondly, because she has tampered with the greatly revered genealogies of the chiefs, in order to prove herself of royal descent. The entire concrete front of the Post Office has been removed from the lower story, and replaced by steel girders and posts. Between the posts are placed new boxes of three sizes, and double in number to the old set. The doors of the boxes bear the U. S. Eagle. It will soon be a U. S.

It comes from the among all in foremost nation which is and in Chris intelligence, in enterprise, tian light and activity. That great title is sweeping through and beyond this western outpost of Christendom, which fur over three fourths nl century, God has cherished and cultivated into high Christian statehood. Now is Christian America coming into close touch with the torpor and darkness of the Orient. A great door and effectual is being opened for Christian enterprise to make the Redeenui known to peoples who have hitherto been shut out from the true (iospel. It cannot be that Christians in Hawaii have not important parts to bear in that work. May the Holy Spirit quicken and inspirt them to discern and use each opportunity. In what shape the opportunities will come we know not. It is evident that ancient barriers are being broken down, Hawaii's best present service is to stand as a Christian community, living under the power of Christian morality, and shining as a bright moral and spiritual lighthouse in the fore front of Christendom, Home Mission Kally. Instead of the customary Home Mis sion Sermon on the second Sabbath evening, June 11, of the H. E. Association, there was a succession cl short action of the church and Pastor, we desire to say for ourselves that it is with sincere regret that we part with one whom we have learned to esteem very highly. Rev, 1.1. P. Miniie's pastorate in Honolulu, though brief, has been faithful. Though his leadership by the blessing of God, large additions have been made to the Church roll, while as pastor and preacher he has endeared himself to the hearts of his people. He has proved himself well adapted to work for the young, especially young men. In organizing and canyingout plans for the moral and intellectual improvement of the youth of this city, we believe he he has had no superior. We feel assured that this historic field of religious effort has been greatly blessed by his ministry, and that the best wishes and earnest prayers of God's people will follow him into other parts of the Master's vineyard, where he may be called to labor. We affectionately commend him to the churches, as a man of lofty Christian character, a wise pastor, and an effective preacher of the vital truths of the Gospel. We congratulate the members of this church on the service which has been rendered them, and pray that upon them the divine blessing may still rest: that the Great Head of the Church may send them another leader of like wisdom and devotion.' It may be added that Mr. Birnie has greatly endeared himself to the church and community: he leaves us with our united and earnest prayers for his cor. tinued welfare and success in the Lord's work.

Undoubtedly majority of the American opponents of the annexation of Hawaii sincerely believe it to be inexpedient, Theie is however a portion of those opponents who are intensely b tter and determined in their resistance to the views of a majority of both houses. This can not well be accounted for except by the influence of the powerful Sugar Trust. It should be clearly understood by all why the Sugar Trust are in such deadly hostility to annexation. The reason is this: their immense profits are all gained by refining sugar. No sugars can now be imported, which are white enough to be saleable to consumers. The tariff secures to the sugar trust the monopoly of all saleable sugars. Hut the annexation of Hawaii will allow our planters to flood the American retail trade with say 300,000 tons of very light grades, partially refined in the sugar mills, or completely refined in our own refineries. This will cut off some Sl,-000,000 from the vast dividends of the Sugar Trust. Hence their fierce rage against annexation. a Victims or Wine. One is in his grave—the other in prison charged with murder. Two capable and loveable young men, intimate friends, drank freely together on Saturday night from a demijohn of wine. One became maddened by the wine, and violent; the other crazily handled a pistol, and shot his friend. The dying man refused to testify, but his slayer owned up all. Young men hangaround saloons, and think it manly to carouse; but ever and anon the rum fiend which there enters them, breaks out in deeds of violence. In the bottle lurks a devil, and the saloon is a breeding nest of hell fiends. How can any Christian man have part or share in a saloon? Wine, gin, whiskey, saki, all are the devil's own stuff. In view of the foregoing impressive [July, 1898 lesson ol the terrible mischief effected by drinking, not gin or whiskey, but Wink, it is somewhat remarkable that our Legislators are cheerfully proceeding with a bill to license houses for the sale of Wine in the conntry districts.

Emerson, - /ufitor. Anniversary Htvv.tii.ir, Week. I'he events of Anniversary week (June 5-13) this) ear, were of unusual interest. So lai'fre a delegation from the churches has not been present for many years. The turn of thought was toward practical things, and unusual harmony prevailed. There were present thirty-one pastors and sixteen lay delegates; other clergymen, missionaries and associate members, numbering twenty one, were in attendance, making sixty eight voting members of the Association. This does not include over a score anil a half more of S. S. and Y. P. S. C. B. delegates, licensed preachers and theological students who were corresponding members. There were also the groups of Japanese and Chinese preachers and evangelists, and the two Portuguese pastois and the several foreign pastors making at least an additional Score, We hope, before long, to drop that word ''foreign" from our nomenclature, as no longer a term of significance with us. We shall then indicate distinctions simply by language, which will trive us live groups, with a possible sixth (the (iilbertese). The reports of the churches were unusually full, showing o.tins in several ways, one beinj,' in that of contributions to the Hawaiian Hoard. In church wink among Ibe natives perhaps the greatest activity has heed shown in the direction of repairs done to church buildings. The building of the new Waialua native church several the Paia Foreign church, years the noble Central Union, the beautifying of the auditorium of the venerable Ka waiahao structure, and finally, the tree tion of the new and t istelul W.iinee church, Lahaina, on the ashes of the old one, were steps in the way of bringing about this result. At Last si veil old Structures which were rapidly going to ruin have either been repaired or built over again witnin the last fifteen or eighteen months This has &'>'" opportunity for lay activity. And it is one of the pleasant features of the work that laymen are taking a more active pail in it. Two requests were laid before the association for permission to solicit funds at large for the purpose of meeting expenses of chinch repair. One came from the church at Kohala, Hawaii, and was granted to the limit of $250; and - I'KiKNU the other came from Ibe church at Ka t, Molokai. ami was granted to the limit ol Si oil.

His report was approved as was also Mr. Kavvewehi's, who reported tor the Kailua church. Thursday morning the Association received the delegates of the different churches and missions. Live races were were represented and live spoken. Had Mr. Lanien. the visitor ftom the Marshall Islands mission spoken, and Mr. Lutera, who is in charge of the Gilbert islanders at, Lahaina and Olowatu, seven languages would have been heard.

At Ip in. the ladies of the Woman's Board of missions entertained the mem hers of the Association and their families at the annual tea party in the parlors of the Central Union Church. Friday morning the Association attended the annual examination of the students of the N. P. M. Institute. In the afternoon the foreign mission work came up for consideration. In view of the almost entire closing of our work in the Gilbert Islands, it was voted that Key. S. P. Kaaia now on a furlough, after twenty four years service in the foreign field, be asked to present the needs of this work as he may have occasion to speak in the churches of the land. It was voted that a delegate ought to be sent by the Star to investigate and report on the condition of the Gilbert Islands mission; voted that the churches In.i.ib • 59 be requested to contribute $ .'OoO for foreign missions this yeai: lhal the Hawaiian Hoard be asked to send a Portuguese evangelist to Paia, Maui, and another to Kohala, Hawaii, and a Chinese evangelist to Hilo. On Saturday occurred the annual exhibit of the Oahu Sunday Schools and the dinner given thi-m. This year the event occioied at Waianae. By the favor nl Mi.

Hiving adjourned over till Monday the Lith the Association took up for consideration the needs of the Sunday Schools two were brought prominently forward; one was that of proper reading matter to he supplied by carefully selected libraries. Through the kindness of good friends, a beginning has been made in meeting this need, and the ncclei of good libraries have already been placed in many Sunday Schools. The other need considered was ihat of helps toward Bible study and it was voted thtit Xt-Ads Parker and (iulick be asked to become associate editois of the "Hoahana," the native Sunday School pa pi r. It was voted to observe the week of prayer, the day of prayer foi schools and also the days of prayer for Ihe lepers.

So onr first knowledge of his presence came by the telephone and passenger list in the morning paper just in time to secure him for breakfast. In the meantime, members of the Board began to inquire and to call. The morning was spent in making a hurried review of the work being carried on in the city. �IHk 60 After luncheon the members of the Hawaiian Board gathered in the Assem bly Room to meet Dr. Smith. The discussion of the various topics presented was necessarily most brief A better understanding was reached as to the movements ot the Star. It is expected, if the situation then permit, that the Star will make a quick voyage through the Micronesian field, probably omitting any visits to the Marshall and Mortloek groups, so as to be hack in time to begin the voyage of 1H'.1.l l!»0i> by the first of April, I HUH. There are re-enforcements in the States ready to enter the field and the purpose is that they share it as soon as possible. Probably some one will be sent to Ponape. It is hoped that Mr. and Mrs. Channon may soon return and that an associate ma)' be found t>i Mr. Price. Who knows but that before long the American Hoard will have to enter the Phillippines ! While holding to the ideal that this mission shall be entirely independent and self supporting, Dr. Smith pledged the American Board to stand by this field of its early and most successful ventures and not to forsake it in its necessity. The hundreds of millions on the great continents will not prevent its giving thoughtful attention lo the scat tered peoples on the islands ol the great ocean. The question was asked, if annexed, are we to he turned over to the Home Missionary Board ? It was .after three o'clock when the Board adjourned. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kmerson, Dr. Smith then received the earnest greetings of many representatives of our work. The question was asked, will the inipiession Dr. Smith has received of outwork, necessarily so superficial, be a help or a hindrance to it ? Much as the briefness of the visit is to he regretted, we trust that its result on the whole may prove of mutual benefit to the American and Hawaiian Boards.

Dillingham who after many years of discouragement and patient energy, hasachieved a wonderful success. The trip to Waialua is likely to be a favorite one.

The joyous manifestations that pervaded Honolulu upon the arrival of the ('optic with the news of the final passage, in the Senate, of the Newland's resolution for the annex* ation of Hawaii was but the natural outburst of relief from the long anxious strain that had been upon the community for years past, but more particularly since the overtures of the Provisional Government by its special Commissioners, in 1893, for this •"closer bond." Ami this same jubilant feeling has shown itself in various parts of the other islands by flagraising festivities, etc. in advance of the formal act at the metropolis, which yet awaits the arrival of Admiral Miller with official dispatches, by the Philadelphia, due now in a tew days. That a grand celebration is in store for the eventful day goes without saying, but of its details, much depends upon what plans the Admiral may have in connection with the act of transfer and taking possession on behalf of the United States. In this connection it is pleasing to learn of the many congratulatory letters that have been received from across thesea. private and otherwise, at the successful ending of the long struggle, and the cordial welcome with which Hawaii is greeted as she comes into Columbia's fold, and under shelter of the Star Spangled Banner. This War a Needed Preparation. The signs of the times very strongly point to an approaching period of conflict, when the (Treat Powers ol Europe are likely to become interlocked in desperate strife. It is very improbable that the United States will be able to avoid participation in such a war, as they have done in the past. 'I'he reason is this: The chief existing causes of disagreement be in the relations of those Powers to China, and their commerce with that country. In this subject America also is very deeply interested. She is in fact in closer propinquity to China than any European Power, except Russia, and is likely soon to have a larger commerce with China than any other Power except England. From the coming struggle over China it would therefore seem impossible for America to hold aloof. But lor this comparatively small Spanish War. that great approaching crisis would have found America totally unprepared. Divine Providence seems in kindness to have led the nation into a preparatory experience in a war with a weak Power, by means ot which considerable ill inies ot young and able men are receiving an effective military education in active Campaigning. These large bodies ol young veterans will thus be qualified to train and lead a million more of their country men to die coming wars without delay. At the same time an immense impetus has been given to the previously neglected wink ot arming the nation. An abundant provision will now he made of the most modem rifles and ammunition; also of rapid tiie and machine guns lor the Artillery. The navy also will he greatly increased, and its efficiency still more perfected. The CoasTTrrrrcnses will he made complete. Great plants will be created for the building of armored ships, and the manufacture of heavy guns; Hereafter, in consequence of the present war, the prospect is becoming assured that the United States cannot he taken by surprise in a great military 61 HONOLULU. H 1.. AUGUST, 1898. Volume 56. crisis. They will be splendidly ready with great armies fully equipped, as well as mighty fleets at sea. War is a fearful evil, and to be avoided as long as consistent with duty and honor. The best way to avoid it is to be wellarmed and prepared lor it. The United States so prepared, may not improbably hecome the means of preventing the dreaded war. or at least ot making it short and decisive on the right side. The war-cloud hangs dark and sulphurous over the opening twentieth century. God seems to be guiding our American Nation towards a heroic participation in the struggle. New U. S. Military Hospital.

The building has been moved farther from the street, and raised higher from the ground. The sight is cheerful, shady, and breezy, if perhaps not as high as desirable. It is, however, a temporary arrangement. This urgent necessitj for a Hospital on the line of communication is only another of the many illustrations how absolutely needful these Islands are lo the United States. What a site, by the way.

Promise of Valuable Hawaiian Books. The trustees of tlu Bishop Museum accept Dr. N, H. Emerson's ti mslation of David Main's "Hawaiian Antiquities" that has engaged his close attention for several years past, and to which copious notes have been added by the translatot that will greatly enhance the value ol the work, not only to students and others interested in the subject, but the general reader as well. This long lost contribution t» Hawaii an literature will shortly be published by the trustees, as also Prof. Brighain's monograph on the "Feathei Work of Early Hawaiians,'' with copious illus trations from photographs of choicest specimens in various parts of the world, including one from Cjueen Victoria's collection, specially for this work. It is also learned that Dr. Emerson contemplates the elaboration ol his valuable Historical Society paper on the "Ancient Canoe Voyages ol the Pacific, ' the result of Ins further researches in this interesting stud)-. The Summer School for Teachers. Mr. Townsend and the Board of lulucation are to be congratulated on the outcome of this Summer's School for teachers. The contact for three weeks with such educators as Col. and Mis. Parker, and Miss Allen, must have a quickening, refreshing, and strengthening effect upon the teacher, who alone, often wear) and discouraged, has for long months been earnestly, and with perhaps but little conscious sympathy, seeking to arouse some dormant soul, to awaken some sleeping intellect.

Present Condition of Religious Life animates the life of Address by Rev. H. H. Parker, at Cen tral Union Church, July ij, a few Hawaiians upon their fellow christians.

If the course "why the younger people of my race are of events should show that they are so indifferent to the calls of the better passing, as it were, though a new birth life, and the privileges that surround into a new and a larger life may they them." He had suffered the cruelty of not look for opportunities for advancepaganism, and had seen human sacrifices ment such as they have not enjoyed offered to idols. Then he marie a con before?

Said Among the Hawaiians r8t)8. I have been asked to talk to yon about the religious condition of the Hawaiians, or rather about the religious life of the Hawaiians. The Hawaiians and Hawaii nei have been so much talked about for the last five or six years that I fear that I shall not say any thing new or interesting. The Hawaiians seem to be under a cloutl just at the present time. If the cloud should prove to be like that pillar of cloud which led the Hebrew children, if God's light should strike upon it, the Hawaiians may .yet discern in it the signs of promise. There are those who feel that the best thing to do with the native Hawaiian is to let him alone. They say he has had his day and opportunity; that he has had his full share of attention; that all has been done for him that it is possible to do for any people, and henceforth he must work out his own problems. And there are others, I am sorry to say it, who claim that the Hawaiian is not worth saving. They say the whole body is corrupt; there is no religion in the church and no moral life in the heart. Those of us who have labored with them and lived with them will take emphatic exceptions to these statements. There is a great deal of natural religious feeling in the people. They are natur ally religious if not reverent. The ancient and ihe modern Hawaiian, both from a religious and social point of view, appear like very different characters. The lapse of only two score years has wrought great changes in the reli gious life of this people. Vice, it is true, is more prevalent now than forty years ago, and of course makes its impression on the religious conditions of the present time; but vice is by nomeans confined to the Hawaiians, and its more hideous forms are not to be found among the natives. Much of the vice that prevails in the community may be laid at the door of the public sentiment of the community. Public opinion is a tremendous power, and when it says of any evil thing, "let it alone" the public lets it alone. And all that vice asks is to be left to itself to grow and spread on its own corruption. The faith of those early christians who witnessed the great religious revolution that so quickly followed the introduction of civilization to these Islands was simple as a little child's love; it was a quiet but living spiritual fervor, and firm as the rock. And that type of christian faith [August, 1898. not �Vol. 56, No. B.] is by association in religious work. A common interest begets unity of action and unity gives strength. The Hawaiian should not be isolated in religious work. He should have the sympathy and love and tender consideration of the Anglo of his Anglo Saxon Saxon, christian brother. I submit that there is no power in jeweled crown or scepter (ike that in the simple quality of mercy between man and man. One of the sweetest words in our language is home. It designates the place where childhood's happy days are spent; where influences are started and affections cemented that nut-last earth's fleeting day and yield their best fruits on the other side of life "Be it ever so humble, There's no place like home." That vital breath that comes from the sweet, clean home-life ; that "pono" which is something more than four letters; that thing which the Pilgrim Fathers sought when they "moored their bark on the wild New England shore" is the thing we need. "They sought a father's pure shrine, And they have lift unstained What there they found." That "father's pure shrine" in the Hawaiian homes is the thing we need to save us from the perils that are impending and to give character and strength to our religious life in these islands. Virtue in the home is worth more than all the plantations on all the islands. That community is not far from social destruction which shuts its eyes to the moral conditions that surround the homes of its youth, and cries peace, peace, when there is no peace. There ts another factor that bears on the Hawaiian social or religious life, and it is one that has had its due weight in the make up of his present condition. With out doubt it will have an important part in determining what his future is to be. Behind every human force, for good or tor evil, there is the life uf woman. Behind Isaac was Rebecca; behind Ahab and his evil reign was Jezebel, the Cath erine dc Medicis of the .icbrew nation. Behind Herod's blood-stained hand was Herodias, and back of Pontius Pilate was Claudia; and if Claudia had prevail ed in her plea with Pilate, she might have saved him Irwin ihc infamy that covers his name. To come down to our own time, and to the history of these little Islands which we love. Behind the simple faith of the primitive native church were the examples of Kaahumanu and Kapiolani and their associates. Back of the Oahu dllege was the thought of the mothers of the early civi lization of these Islands; and behind yonder hospital is the name of CJueen Emma. Behind the Lunalilo Home is Kekauluohi, the mother of Lunalilo, and back of those splendid equipments for education out there at Kalihi is the name of Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Every woman however humble or exalted her walk in life has her influence and performs her part, whether conscious of it or not, in the making of character. Back of the Hawaiians as we find them today is the Hawaiian woman I don't mean the individual personalities we meet, but the average woman that represents the womanhood of the race. We conclude then that the Hawaiiins future social condition and religious life, in all likelihood, will be what the woman of the present time make it. % May God bless the native church in these Islands and send her help; for when she fails to fulfil her mission and ceases to be fruitful, (which heaven for bid) her candle will go out, and when the light of religion passes away from a people what shall the end be ? We are living in a day full of signs. We walk in a way beset with difficulties, and know not at times whither we should turn, or in what direction we should go to find prosperity. Let me say steer straight for the Light of the World which is the heart of Jesus Christ. — Dr. Lyman Abbott has recently published some expressions respecting the Divine Immanence in all things, which have led to an alarm being sounded that he has come out as a Pantheist. While it may possibly be true that Pantheism would be a logical deduction from Dr. Abbott's expressions, yet he is no pantheist, but a most devout and prayerful believer in the Personal God, Our own opinions are much opposed to some of Dr. Abbott's theological views; but we rejoice to own him as faithful to the essentials of Christianity.

The war between the United States and Spain has ceased and peace prevails. The cost to both nations has been very great, and the honor of each is satistied thou<rh in a .widely different way. America entered the arena for a principle in behalf of humanity and the world at lartre is the trainer through her victories. Spain's honoris vindicated only in that she made strenuous effort to retain her possessions. Spanish national pride could not accept the dictation of a power—she apparently held in contempt—upon a question of her colonial policy, till she found she could not maintain it with all the resources and defensse she could brinrr to bear. Only in this brave effort is it to be conceded her honor is satisfied, for she retires from the conflict having lost her best ships and stripped of her most valued colonies. America on the other hand coems forth, as it were, more than conqueror. As a defender of principles upon which she came into existence as a nation she has maintained her position well. The ready response of her sons in the call "to arms," and for the "sinews of war," is a sure indication of ability to meet exigencies. As a fighting power she has advanced many points in the 69 The Friend.

The strictly official ceremonies thus carried out also commends itself in that no offense was given, nor could any be taken by opposing Hawaiians. The reference to the "native sons of Hawaii" in the invocation offered by Rev. Mr. Pearson, as also that in Minister Sewall's speech to those "whose father's land this was," was kind, appropriate and uplifting. The salutes of parting and of welcome, as the flags exchanged places, or the display of fireworks in the evening, was not the rejoicing over a vanquished race, but a welcoming in to the larger fold and sisterhood of States. Disappointed Septmbr, 1898. THE FRIEND 70 New Comers. Cjuite a number of passengers arrivtd by the steamers of last month expecting to find opportunities numerous, now that annexation had been accomplished, to "get in ofi the ground floor and grow up with the country," as the saying is. Few, if any, had any knowledge of the islands, their possibilities, conditions, or requirements—further than their landing was conditional upon possessing $50, The general idea that it was a new country —as doubtless it was to them was sufficient excuse for American rest lessness to "move west." The finding of Honolulu to be no new town but a well built and orderly city, with all avenues of trade well represented and fully occupied; the government lands adjacent to town not available for selectors and none at all at first hand for speculators was a serious surprise. The idea of a limitation to the saloon busi ness, or the necessity of a license to trade under was deemed an unjust imposition that would soon be a thing of the past when "Uncle Sam. took charge. It is to be expected that an influx of people will follow annexation. The Islands have been so extensively adver tised before the people of the United States, since the time of our overtures for "closer union," that it must follow as a natural matter of course, but it is unfortunate for all concerned when intending settlers will not post themselves upon the conditions of things here before emigrating. While the posst bilities of the Hawaiian Islands doubtless has much yet to be developed, it is a field that calls for capital and brains, not muscle or wits alone. Persons coming here should have sufficient means to turn themselves with while looking over the field and waiting for opportunities. Hawaii is no different in this respect than many other places, unless it be that having no bridge across the pond one — cannot walk away when he pleases if the right thing don't turn up at the right time. Mr. J. F. Brown, agent of public lands, set forth in the Advertiser of August 27th, a statement respecting government lands, etc., in which it was shown that it would be some months yet before new sections could be opened up, from the necessity of surveys and the construction of new roads to them. L.inds contiguous lo existing roads were taken up. It is learned that some of the fraternal bodies are sending forth cautionary advices. Stock Exchange. Following the business methods ol older and larger commercial centers Honolulu is to have its Stock Exchange and Board of Brokers, for the alleged belter protection of all*parties interested in the buying and selling of stocks and bonds, of which there has been consider able activity for some months past, with a steadily improving market on a large list of the leading corporations, mostly plantation. This fact and the floating of several new concerns have naturally centered public interest in the subject, and the movement has been aided by the pres. ence of one familiar with Stock Boards at San Francisco. It is significant too that enquiry is being made at this time upon the status of Hawaiian stocks and securities for the benefit of Eastern Brokers. While there is doubtless much of a speculative character in stock transactions there is also its investment opportunities to be considered, and any intelligent lUting of values by experts, which comes within the scope of an exchange, does the public a service. The known character of the officers of the organiza turn is an assurance of honest dealing, dispite the fears held by some that it will eventually drift into speculative buying on margins. Any attempt at irregularities, "watering" stock, or other shady transactions should find speedy exposition at the hands of the Exchange, to insure it long life, prosperity and enjoyment of public confidence. Exceedingly high tides have been noticeable along the western shore of Another Big Sugar Estate. The untiring manager of the Oahu Kriilway and Land Co., Mr. Benjamin F. Dillingham, is erecting another monument to his enterprise in the cons ilidalion of plantation and grazing interests in the extensive and fertile lands of Waialua, Oahu, for the establishment of a still larger sugar plantation than the Ewa, or 0 ihu concerns, as it will embrace the Halstead plantation, the Sylva and Kawailoa ranches, the Gay and other lands whereby some gO,UQO acres can be devoted to cane. The concern will incorporate at $3,fiUo,-(100 and h large portion of the slock is already subscribed lor. Flowing water is available for a large part of the lands and a. number of artesian wells are already sunk on other portions, now largely devoted to rice culture. Castle & Cooke are named as the agents, and it is hoped to secure W. J. Lowrie of the Ewa Plantation as its manager. Fall of Manila. The day following signing the protocol at Washington the attack on Manila was made and forced it to capitulate, fortu- nately, with but small loss of life. The seaward fortifications were engaged by Admiral Dewey's ships on the morning of August 13th. Half an hour later Genl. Greene advanced with the Colorado's on the left of the city and within an hour the first Spanish colors in the trenches fell. Genl. McArthur with the Second Brigade met more resistance on the right. Genl. Anderson pressed on Malate from the South as the Spanish were driven out by the shells from the ships, and the file of the IKth. Infantry and Utah Artillery, and which was finally carried by the Colorado's and California's. By noon the white flag was hoisted and by four p. m. the surrender to Genl. Merrit was complete and he took possession of the city. The Americans had nine killed and forty wounded, while the Spanish loss is estimated at 120 killed and 600 wounded. The Honolulu Rapid Transit and Land Co., Ltd., is shaping itself for business, having accepted its charter as amended to meet the views of the cabinet, and elected the following officers to serve during the ensuing year: L. A. Thurston, president; J. B. Castle, vice-president; J. A. Gilman, secretary; J. H. Fisher, treasurer; J. A. Kennedy, auditor. Mr. C. G. Ballentyne has been selected as its manager.

Astoria, Oregon, Aug. 6, IH9t*. After being two weeks on the way from Honolulu, my wife and self are quietly lodged at the home of our son, Dr. J. S. Bishop, in this pi cc. Astoria is a town of some MOt people, near the mouth of this vast Columbia river. It lies along a steep hill side, which comes down to the water's edge. The main street, next to the hill side is mostly built over the water on piles, as also are two or three parallel streets below it. A rather amphibious town. There are many fine residences along the very steep streets running up the hill side to heights of 200 to ''00 feet. These are said to be fine views over the summit of the ridge, looking into Young's River Valley. Going along Commercial, which is the principal business street, the buildings are mainly of wood, but there are a large number or good brick or stone stores, built upon piled foundations, with the strong current of the river running around them. A line of electric cars traverses this street, laid upon heavy planking over the water. This building where I write, at this moment quivers or sways with the tremor of a passing car. Small vacant lots are pointed out on each side of the streets, valued at $5000 each, in which one sees only open water six or eight feet below. The hillside above would furnish abundant material for filling out these spaces; but they await the building of a seawall herealter. The remains of the ancie it forest of cedars and firs are still on the hillside, some doubtless of the same trees which Peter Corney saw when he camped on this shore more than eighty years ago among the Clatsop Indians. Astoria has little or no commerce, notwithstanding its location near the mouth of this great river which drains imperial provinces. All the marine commerce centers at Portland, 110 miles above, where the railways terminate. Only in May last, an excellent track was opened to Astoria along the south bank of the river, connecting with the main system at Goble, where the cars from Portland are ferried across the Columbia to Kalama, to run to Tacoma, Seattle and Vancouver. This new line gives promise of bringing at least a portion of the great wheat traffic to the mouth of .the river. This railway, however, extends a few miles farther down the bank, to an ex tensive tract of level land, just at the head of the great breakwater, where are now the villages of Flavel and Warrenton. The R. R. company have there erected extensive wharves and warehouses.

God's word, as the decades go on, will more and more be studied and obeyed; His Sabbaths be honored, and His worship bccherished. Christian morality will be increasingly cultivated. The generations will grow into generally higher and purer social and civil life. Oregon is plainly destined to become a powerful Christian State, and a great light of Christian civilization on these eastern shores of the Pacific. Our beloved Hawaii stands in the forefront of that redeeming civilization, which shall help to uplift the vast Mongolian races out of their spiritual darkness. It is a great thing that we shall have an imperial Power like Oregon behind to support us. I had the great satisfaction this week of a days intercourse, in the fine city of Portland, with our honored brother Rev. A. N. Fisher, whom we all learned to love during his two years residence in Honolulu a while ago. He desired loving remembrance to the good people of Honolulu. S. E. Bishop. More Steam Lines. It is already seen that steam lines are to rapidly increase in the Pacific, and travel to and fro designates Hawaii nei as the power ofattraction. An Eastern corporation to maintain a line of four first-class steamers, Honolulu and Manila figuring as objective points in their route, is said to have placed their order with the Cramps for special boats for the service. A Seattle line is inaugurated, with several chartered steamers, the first of which will be due shortly, touching first at Hilo. The islands have suffered much in convenience during the withdrawal of the Australia from her regular monthly trips to and from San Francisco, and stands ready to welcome her to the service she resumes this month. The improvement of Union Street by the change from the rather sharp angle at the Monsarrat premises to a graceful bend and widened more particularly at this section from properties sacrificed on both sides of the street is quite marked, and it has removed from the city what was perhaps its most dangerous tho roughfare. Oahu College will begin its fall term this month, opening on the 6th. Its faculty, and the special lines of study to which each will be devoted, given on the front page, gives evidence of its progressive and thorough educational provision for the young people of these islands.

After reading ihe proclamation Mr Sewall turned to the people and said: "Fellow countrymen: I congratulate you on the consummation this day records, a consummation not a change, the inevitable consummation of the national policies and the natural relations between the two countries now formally and indissolubly united. "Inevitable as has been this union, we may rejoice that it will take its place in history with the awakening ol the American people to a sense ot their responsibilities among nations, in that splendid process of events begun at Manila and which has now embraced these Islands in its broad sweep. "You are no strangers to your coun trymen across the sea. hound to them as you are by the achievements of their sons and brothers here, and by all tinactivities that make up a country's life. You are no strangers, certainly not in the momentous present. For as itcomes to every nation in the dread ordeal of war to test the loyalty of all its sons and the devotion of all its friends so they have tested you, tried you and found you true —when you refused to listen to the suggestions of the selfish and timid, and at your peril, offered up all that these Islands had to offer, as a sacrifice on the altar of devotion to a country you had not yet the right to call yom own. "And your countrymen can never forget that this loyalty and devotion and the opening of hearts and house to our soldier boys that followed this, was the loyalty, the devotion and the hospitality of Americans, though this were sweet indeed, but of men who sought to be Americans and had been denied, of men who founded a state for the purpose of admission to the American Union and had been denied, of men who presented this strange spectacle to the world that they stood ready, as you gentlemen about me today, to give up office, and power and personal emoluments and glory, for the simple dignity of American citizenship. Even as you have given up a flag you love, and surrendered the sovereignty of these beautiful Islands, that Hawaii may take her place, however humble that place may be, in the protecting ciicle ol sovereign American States. "This is the consummation you wit- THE FRIEND 73 ness today, which you and your child ren's children will have the right to celebrate, and let there be no mistake as to its meaning. It means the triumph of no party or faction among you, the opportunity for no personal glorification or personal resentment, the confirmation m power of no authority over you that shall not commend itself to the sense of fairness and of justice of the representatives of the American people, but rather the burial of past prejudices, the obliteration ot narrow divisions and the ultimate political advancement of the hum blest citizen over whom this flag shall float. "But it is not for you to rest content in the enjoyment of free institutions. It is for you to help maintain them, to maintain them in the spirit they will be extended to you, in the spirit you have sought them, in the spirit of fraternity and equality, in the spirit of the Constitution itself now the supreme law of your land, to establish justice, to ensure your tranquility, to piovide for the common defense, to promote your welfare, and to secure the blessings of liberty to yourselves and your posterity. "This is the work before you my countrymen and I bid you advance to it. Hand in hand may you go, you of the home race with those whose father's land this was, and whose generous virtues have won lor thtm the regard of all mankind. Hand in hand may you go with them as they carry with them their unfaltering love of country into the broad plane of American citizenship. "Advance to the uplifting and up building of this land to prove it worthy to share the Destiny of the Great Re public. "Empire may wait indeed, but no hand save his who holds in the holiow of his hand the fate of Nations can stay that destiny: "God bless you my countrymen ! "(rod bless the United States ot Am erica !" The oath of allegiance to the United States was then administered by Chief Justice Judd to President Dole as "Pies ident of the Republic of Hawaii, now a territory of the United States" and to Minister Cooper, Smith, Damon and King and the ceremonies of the daywere over. Additional to the large enterprise on Molokai established a few months since, the recently formed Honolulu Sugar Co., to prove the productiveness of the tract beyond MoanaluH, and the projected extension of the Waialua plantation referred to elsewhere—there is a new plantation being established at Nahiku, Maui, and the long comtemplated Lanai Sugar Co. has become an incorporated fact. A new tract ot land on Kauai is also spoken of as likely to be laid under tribute m the near future. — Lopevi again an Active Volcano. Tungo i.on the island of Ambrym, of the New Hebrides group of islands, was the scene of a terrifying natural phenomenon in July last. The British gunboat Mildura has made report of an eruption of the volcano of Lopevi and of the destruction wrought by heavy earthquakes and terrific downpours of rain, such as in the knowledge of natives and white men on the islands had never before been equalled. The inhabitants of not only Ambrym, but all of the New Hebrides group, were panic-stricken. The islands shook to their foundations and many thought they would sink into the -iea. Ihe seismic disturbance was prefaced by a southeast gale, which gradually developed into a hurricane. Houses were blown down and nearly all of the lighters on the beach wrecked by high surf. Rain fell in torrents. Suddenly the sky darkened It grew blacker at every moment until about 2 o'clock p. m., when it was so dark on Ambrym that people could not see their way about except when the lightning flashed, as it did every few seconds. Natives huddled together in their huts and the traders and settlers took to cover. The earth commenced to tremble, slighly at first, but with rapidly increasing pulsations, until timbers of the light frame dwellings creaked, split and parted. The motions were in waves, then would change to upheavals, as if the earth was being forced upwards by steady blows from a terrible force below the surface. Gradually the earthquakes grew less severe. Volcanic sand and ashes com menced to fall and fearful noises were heard from the direction of Lopevi. At the end of about ten hours ashes covered the island to the depth of several inches and no sooner had they ceased falling than ram set it. Seven inches fell in twenty-four hours and for three days it rained at intervals of six hours, and the downpour was like a cloudburst. It was discovered that Lopevi was in active operation, having burst up through its crater after hundreds of years of inactivity. The mountain is 5000 feet high, and burning lava was streaming down its sides when the Mildura, which subsequently reported at the island, left for Sydney. The New York Regiment, assigned, temporarily, for garrison duty at hono lulu, have established themselves in camp at Kapiolani park. The additional troops originally designed for Manila, which arrived by the fine large steamships Arizona and Scundia. have received instructions to disembark at this point and wait further orders. The vessels proceed on to Manila. �Septmbr, 1898. THE FRIEND. 74 RECORD OF EVENTS. Aug 2nd.—Ex (jueen] Liliuokalani returns by the Gaelic from her lengthen ed stay abroad.

According to instructions, Kekela was looking for a vessel, which he might charter for bringing his family to Honolulu.

News has come to us of the breaking of war in Ponape and of the imprisonment of Henry Nanpei by the Spaniards. At the time the information came, he had been a prisoner at Colonia, the Spanish garrison, for a month. No reason is given for the high-handed act excepting that Mr. Nanpei is a Protestant, and will not abjure his faith for that of the Roman Catholic church, and that, as a Protestant, he exerts his influence towards the maintenance of the Protestant schools and churches established so long ago by the American missionaries before their expulsion from the island in IS.iO. Mr. Nanpei has been acting in a dual apacity. As the accredited agent of the A. B. C. F. M., he has had the charge of the mission work on the island. He came naturally in the position, for he was for years associated with Rev. Mr. )oane in the care of the Theological and Normal training school on the sland; on the removal ot Mr. Doane and the expulsion of the other missionaries, Mr. Nanpei continued to be a eligious leader to the people. The Spaniards at the same time, seeing that he was a man of influence, secured his services to help keep the peace during the troublous times of the establishment of their power on the island; while endeavoring to stop the fighting which lately broke out between the Catholics and the Protestants on the little island of Maute, and extended to other parts of the group, he was invited on board the Spanish gunboat and made a prisoner. 75 It it the old story of the dominating power of the Roman Catholic church in Spain, and the arbitrary use of temporal power to exclude other religious orders. This late attempt to put down the Protestant party in Ponape and abolish their worships, was begun before the fall of Manila. The Roman Catholicadherents were incited to threaten and finally attack the Protestants. But before they had achieved their purpose the triumph of the American arms in the Philippine and Ladrone Islands at Manila and at Guam—caused a change in the dreams of the Ponapean garrison. They hastened to hide their treasure even to the emptying of their ships. The channel buoys were destroyed; a canal was dug into the mangrove thickets that reach out into the water. through which the ships were drawn towards the shore. A great hole was dug in the earth as a hiding place for the garrison, into which it might escape from the American marines, who were imminently expected. Here our infor mation ends. We intend to publish a fuller statement of the facts in our next issue. — The Carolines. out In the press dispatches outlining the down by the President as a basis for peace negotiations, no mention has been made of the Caroline islands, though the cession of an island in the Ladrone group is required. This omis sion seems to require explanation. It was announced weeks ago that the Monterey, on her voyage to Manila, was expected to take possession of the Caro lines, from one of which, Ponape, our missionaries, in I**9, after occupation for forty years, were expelled by the Spaniards and their flourishing work broken up. At the date when the President's terms were announced no information had been received as to what the Monterey had done, and possibly this may account for his silence on a point of peculiar and vital interest to many Americans. We prefer to take this view of the matter for the present. But the point must not be lost aight of in the multitude of other pressing considers tions. If there is a spot of earth outside of the long recognized dominions of either power to which this country has a right prior to that of Spain it is the soil that has been reclaimed from savage heathenism to Christianity by the lives and labors of the devoted men and women who in 1852 occupied the Carolines in the name of the American churches. A great wrong was done when they were driven out. Spain, after ong haggling, paid $ 17,500 for the terms laid destruction of their property at Ponape. But the wrong will not he repaired until they have full liberty to resume their work. Upon this w= believe the American people will strenuously insist. Certainly they should do so. The Outlook. Appeal to Business Men. The Goiul Bonk tells us that men are known by tht ir works. VVe doubt very much whether the hard labor of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association receives the proportional shaie of popular attention which it merits. The annual report just issued is a valuable and interesting document, but it is fair to presume that not more than eight out of ten of the business men of the country will give the report careful perusal. The year has shown progress in all departments, hut the necessity of the hour seems to be equipment to turn out a more advanctd native ministry. The Hawaiians are certainly making the best of what is placed at their disposal. With the progress of the country, the educational facilities should keep peace. In this connection the North Pacific M ssionary Institute demands the attention of the Gjd fearing business man as well as the philanthropist. The princip-tl of the Institute says: "In the present changeful condition of society at the Islands, industrially and politically, it is difficult to forecast the future. But whatever future conditions, it is certain that for the present, there is urgent need, not only of maintaining the Institute in its special work ol training a native ministry for the Hawaiian churches and mission fields, but above and beyond this, more adequate provision must be made for such advanced instruction and training as the new times demand. The entire abolition of vernacular schools, the rudimentary character of the public school instruction in Knglish, the conflicting interests of different sects and nationalities, demand in the Hawaiian ministry a fuller equipment for this service. Another associate in the work of the Institute writes: "It is evident that the school should be better equipped for its work. The crisis has already been reached. The work of the past year has suffered from defective classification of students and lack of teaching force. If no change is made, the loss next year will be even greater. The men who are now applying for admission are the choice young men of the country—graduates of Kamehameha and Lahainaluna schools. The natural effect of their coming will be to draw others from the same schools. To what extent this will be true, will depend much on what these first young men derive for themselves. If they can be effectively trained and inspired for a �noble life's service, the effect will be contagious and powerful. But if they find in the Institute an equipment infer ior to that of the schools which they have left, and fail to get the instruction for which they are* fitted, they cannot be expected to show much enthusiasm for it or to he anxious to bring others into it." While the business men of the street are not supposed to be active mission aries, the religious condition* among Hawaiians ougnt not to be loieign to their thoughts Theie are might" few men who fail to recogour* that God rules and who are without i kindly led ing toward those actively engaged in work especiall) advancing religious among Hawaiians. It would be fitting for them to make response to the educational necessity appeal from the workers in the field. -Evening Bulletin. Forthcoming Books. The wrangling in the Senate about Hawaii has at last ceased, with the an nexation Septmbr, 1898. THE FRIEND 76 ot the islands by the United States. Few persons have been more enthusiastically in favor of this consummation than Miss Mary H. Krout, whose long cherished hope of securing an appointment as special war correspondent from that island was finally realized when the Chicago Inter Ocean yielded its prejudices against employing a woman in that capacity and decided to avail ltsell of her sci vices. Miss Kraut's departure for Honolulu was delayed for some time on account of an accident which resulted in a setiously injured ankle. But her determination to accept the ottered posi tion was unshaken, and she set out upon her hazardous journey on crutches and in open defiance ot her physicians and friends. It was not however, until allci the outbreak of the revolution that she reached her destination. In the begin ning Miss Krout's sympathies were altogether with the natives and their queen, but a fuller knowledge of existing conditions resulted in a complete change of view, and she soon became a warm friend ol the Provisional Government and, later, an ardent advocate of annexation. Her book, Hawaii and a Revo lution, to be published in the early autumn by Messrs. Dodd, Mead and Company, is the outgiowth of several months' residence in the Sandwich Islands. While a considerable portion of the volume is devoted to a study ot the politics of the country, about which Miss Krout had unusual opportunities of obtaining information, it contains for the most part her personal experiences, descriptions ot the beautiful islands and their products, and brief sketches of the native and foreign residents and their mode of living. Notwithstanding that several books about Hawaii have been issued during the past few years when it Sixth—On the singing of the protocol has been so much in the minds of the hostilities will be suspended and notice people, the somewhat pecu.iar conditions to that effect will be given as soon as under which Hawaii and a Revolution possible by each government to the comwas written lend to it an especial interest, menders of its military and naval forces. and the book does not seem in any estentiil particular to have been tore Funnu Advertisements.

In view of the apparent certainty that the United States will assume the government of at least a part of the Philippines, it would seem that every reflecting Christian citizen of Hawaii must feel an added responsibility by reason of our comparative propinquity to that group, and the mutual influence hereafter to be exerted between Manila and Honolulu. The two cities will be the two central points of interest to the United States in this great western ocean of which America now sits as mistress. Hawaii's strategic relations will necessarily become more intimate than with any other port in the farther Pacific, because Manila will be in some measure an American port. So much is clear —that we are to be placed in relations of peculiar intimacy with one of the great seaports of the world hitherto closed to any relations with us. Manila is shortly to look to Honolulu as the nearest point at which she is to find contact with American civilization—American social conditions. These steamship lines, the busy shuttles of commerce plying back and forth across the Pacific, will carry to Manila the atmosphere, the savor of Honolulu society. The cable wire flashing hourly messages will constantly report Honolulu as the last important point of connection. It will then be of no small import to the moral and spiritual conditions of Manila how those conditions shall he found to exist in Honolulu. If our piety here is of the kind that is vital, and heaven soaring, if our Christian love is sweet and generous, if our social life is noble, upright, and beneficent, anil pure. if our business integrity is above reproach, Manila will be. keenly sensible of those facts, and will be moved upon by them towards her oTvn redemption. But if Hawaii grows debased, lewd, debauched, absorbed in greed and lucre, given to coarse and godless pleasureseeking, tolerant of vice, and disdainful of godliness —then American influence for good on Manila will be deeply impaired, because this American Lighthouse of Christianity in the Pacific has grown dim. Our brothers who go to the Philippines to assist in administering public affairs will be plunged at once into a fetid mire of social debasement. They will need to be invigorated by social influences high and pure from this nearest American point, else they will return this way with defiled characters, in their turn to debase us. Unless our Christian social purity is so maintained and elevated as to help Manila upwards, Manila will drag Honolulu down. We are now entering upon a period of new conditions and new influences. It behoves every Christian here to be a true soldier, and drill for the highest discipline, faithful in all things. How Hawaii shall hereafter be called upon to aid directly in evangelizing this new American dependency, will appear as Providence opens the future. to Manila, HOW TO INVEST OUR MONEY. It is announced that on the last day of September nearly £500,000 would be paid out in Honolulu as dividends to stockholders in various sugar and other corporations. It may reasonably be conjectured that such dividends during the past year have amounted to as much as four NUMBKK 10 millions of dollars. Probably twothirds of this has been surplus income to the recipients, which they reinvest. There are now several very promising new plantations being started, and other enterprises, inviting investments. Some ol these will probably turn out well. Others Every prudent person may not. will (five careful thought before putting his money into any of these undertakings/ We feel moved to call attention to a class of investments which moneyed people are too apt to overlook. We mean the placing of money where it will bring forth great profit in forwarding the Kingdom of Christ. As a living Christian, you, my Wealthy brother. Or sister, with twenty or a hundred thousand dol lars to place out, must feel that it is a glorious and blessed thing to help our beloved Lord and Captain in gaining fresh victories over the powers of evil and darkness. Many of you in Hawaii have already experienced the joy of giving somewhat freely of your substance. Is not the Lord now calling on you for more abundant help? These are great days, and critical days. Our Gospel and missionary work should be fortified and enlarged without stint. I low Congress last Spring lavished hundreds of millions for army and navy. And how grand the results. This year you have such abundant dividends as you never had before. Is it not in order that you may come forward joyfully and liberally supply the needs of the Redeemer's Kingdom on the Pacific, at this critical time? Let one very large and pressing need be named. You have probablyheard and understood that we have come to the point where we must have a large and liberal provision made for the education of preachers, pastors, and missionaries lor our various native and foreign populations. The call for educated workers among Hawaiians. Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese has entirely outgrown the small capacity ot our North Pacific Missionary Institute. The young men can be found, but there are no means for educating them. That Institution needs immediate enlargement. There should be at once two or three new and able instructors employed.

In espousing her interests, Mr. Davies was strictly in the line of hisduty. Lieut young most correctly speaks of the American Minister, John L. Steves*, as "an aged, frail man, in no condition to seek or endure the excitement of �80 political strife attendant upon the overthrow of the monarchy," also of "the cruelly unjust charges thatthe overthrow of the monarchy was the result of a scheme of the American Minister." Mr. Young on page 165, expresses the opinion that the Queen was under the influence of some intoxicant at the time of her attempted coup. This is not believed by witnesses who were closer to her at the time. We heartily commend this fascinating book. THE FRIEND. [October, 1898.

After a sojourn on Hawaiian shores the three Congressional members of the Commission for adjusting the relations of Hawaii to the General Government, Senators Cullom and Morgan and Representative Hitt, took their departure for home on Sept. 23 per S. S. Gaelic. During their stay, they had, as already reported, visited the islands of Maui and Hawaii. Later they also visited the Leper settlement on Molokai. Their remaining time was actively engaged in conference with their associates, Messrs. Dole and Frear, upon their appointed work. The results of their labors are expected to remain secret until reported to the President of the United States, and by him to Congress fcr their final action. It is understood however that they accomplished th« drafting of a full scheme for the government of these islands, and for the laws thereof. It is believed that as few changes in the present system and laws were adopted as were necessary to be consistent with the Republican system of the United States. Much anxiety of course is felt by all parties to what they have decided to recommend. Devoutly believing and praying men feci assured that all our destinies are in the hands of God, and will trustingly beseech the Lord to guide and direct the counsels of those who are to shape our future government, so that Hawaii may be enabled to go forward in a noble Christian and civilized progress. We must be deeply thankful that a good man in the Presidency has set over this work such an excellent group of men of wise and disinterested characters. May the outcome be toe best possible provision for Hawaii's future; and may the people of Hawaii make the best use thereof ! of thirty seven days, Admiral Miller sailed for home on the the L. S.

It is evident that there is much neglect on the part of some persons in not making the Government rations do better work in both quality and quantity. For instance, it ought not to be impossible for oui soldiers to obtain sugar or syrup to eat on their bread and rice. It is not only inhumanity but bad economy to feed soldiers on such unpalatable rations that their health suffers. THE FRIEND. By special orders from the U. S. State Department, S. B. Dole continues to act as President of the Republic of Hawaii, and all court proceedings continue in the name of the Republic of Hawaii. Vacancies in appointive offices are filled as before, and all government affairs continue unchanged until Congress shall have arranged a permanent form of government for the islands. U. S. Camps at Honolulu. A Military Order was published on Sept. 6, consolidating the troops present in the Military District of Hawaii into two camps, one to be called Camp McKinley consisting of the First New York Volunteers and Battalion of U. S. Volunteer Engineers as now, under command of Col. T. H. Barber, Ist N. Y. Volun teers; and another to be called Camp Otis comprising all expeditionary troops temporarily in theDistrict and command ed by the senior officer of those forces present. Camp McKinley is near Diamond Head. Camp Otis is within the race track at Kapiolani Park. The present locations are to be occupied only until some permanent site has been fixed upon. Feeding the Soldiers. 81 Practically the whole of Africa now lies open for the advance of civilized government and of Christian missions. It seems wonderful that moral responsibities of appalling magnitude should thus simultaneously be laid upon the two English empire! of the world, upon America to provide for the Great Antilles and the Philippines, and upon England for the Soudan. In the Providence of God, and in the natural expansion of Empire, it seems to he made the duty of Englishmen of both nations to grapple bravely with their new problems, to plant order and justice where cruelly has reigned, and to kindle Gospel light where darkness has brooded. A Narrow Escape from Death. The publisher of The Friend, and Mis. Thrum, feel profound gratitude for the safety of theii eldest son, Mr. Ernest G. Thrum. The ship Reiiil.eorth on which he had taken passage around Cape Horn, on account of health, became on fire July 7th. The fire seeming in the evening to be extinguished, the captain, mate, and a boy, with Mr. Thrum went to sleep in the cabin, where all four became suffocated by vapoi. Of the four, Mr Thrum alone was resuscitated after two hours labor. At a funeral next day, Mr. Thrum offered prayer for the absent relatives. On the 21th, the ship entered the harbor of Valparaiso, after 2,fh>o miles sailing by dead reckoning, all hands on short allowance, the interior ol the ship being inaccessible. A hole was burned in the sugar amidships from top to bottom of the ship. Six weeks having been spent in remedying the injuries to ship and cargo; and securing a new captain, the Reuilwarth was to have proceeded on her voyage on September 10th, Mr. Thrum going on in her. We believe that Commissary officers exercise considerable discretion in ex changing the regular Governmentrations for local supplies which are desirable. Flour, for example is exchanged with bakers for fresh bread. Baking powder and other items are available in like manner. We venture to suggest that the Commissariat contract with Ewa or Waianae Plantation for an occasional car load of sugar cane, to be issued, a stick apiece to the men. Sugar cane is the healthiest and most palatable sweet food known, and especially desirable for invalids.

TheHawaiianAssociation. I'ht' fall meeting of the Hawaii Association was held September 16th and 16th, at La upahoe hie, .ill hut two of the pastors ot ihe island being present; hesides the three visiting clergymen, Messrs. (iulick, I.eadinghani and Kmerson, there wen: als,i six lay delegates and one ex-pastor in attendance. It is man) yens since the meeting was last held at this place. The parish, and pastor 100, have not been regarded as strong enough to meet the needs of entertainment for so many. Ihe adverse reprot brought from Laupahoehoe to the Spring meeting held at Kekaha, Kona. led the members of the Association to consider the advisability of holding the fall session in this neglected parish. It was with misgiving that we went there; and indeed, the hospitality ot the place was put to the test: but through the exertions of the people, the aid of a neighboring pastor, and the generous hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. 11. Kickard, our host, we fared well. Hut it was a pitiful Sight to si c how, through the inefficiency of s pastor who had failed to stir Up his people, a fairly oood church-building had been left, as it were to the mercy of the elements. As our host said, it those responsible for the care of the church had only exerted themselves a little betimes, to put a nail into a clapboard here, and a pane of glass into a window there, and so kept the weather out, the building would no! have come to such decay. The pastor's neglect to do this, has suggested to Mi. Leadingham the need of giving his Students of the theological school, a course ot lectures on the care of church property: indeed such was found to be the inefficiency of the Laupahoehoe pastor, and such his inability to win the respect and confidence of the people, that, by the vote of the association, he was dismissed from his charge. It was a different course that led the Association, through its committee, to dismiss the Rev X. M. Naahumakua from his pastorate over the united churches of Kalapana and Opihikao. This good man accepted a call to the pastorate of a place where he had lived forty years, and been for twenty-five years of that time the school teacher. Familiarity in the minds of the evilly disposed bred, not perhaps contempt, but a certain jealousy and disrespect. Through the agency of a presuming and had minded kahuna woman, a wicked rumor got abroad, and the good man's hold of his people was weakened. He had the discernment to see this, and himselfasked the association to act as it did. We think it might be well for the native pastors, and perhaps for the people in general, if 8 lew such cases ol libel as the above, were tried in the courts. The influence of the kahuna is at the bottom of a great deal of the trouble that arises in thepaiishes. Kven the minds of the well disposed, sometimes get poisoned by the designing and irresponsible aspirants for power, how ever it may come. The case of Key. M. C, Kealoha, pastor at Waipio, is dismissed, and is no longer in the hands of a committee. This action was taken in view ot his purpose, explicitly declared to the committee, not lo mix himsell up with kahunaisni, but to oppose it in everything, and to hold himself in the future subject to the actions of the Association. Kealoha lepoits that the meeting house at Kukuihaele has been repaired, and that meetings are again held in it. A favorable report also comes trom Kau; pastor Kauhane is much encouraged by the return of some ol his disaffected members. Key. Ahi Lazaro, pastoi of the church at Kekaha, Kona, has been granted a leave of absence. 11l health makes it necessary for him to retire tor a season trom the work. It is feared that he may It have to leave the work entirely. would seem that at last the united churches of Kaohe and Milolii are to have an accredited pastor in the person of Rev. Louis M. Mitchell, who, not long since, moved his household to the district and occupied the family estate located there. Mr. Mitchell has built him a house out of native lumber, flooring and all being made of it. The lumber was hewn by his own hand. There is thus opened to the enterprising man the prospect, not only ola useful pastorate, but also tin proprietorship ola valuable coffee estate. At last, after long waiting, the Key. J. S. Kalana h, s again a church to try his hand m parish work, he having been The put in charge of the Olaa district next meeting ot the Association is to be held with pastor Kauhane, at W'aiohinu, Kau. In Puna. Upper Puna is now accessible as far as opposite Kamaili, the residence of Judge Kamau. Seven miles from the terminus of this upper road, there is a bianch road that runs down to the shore at Kapohoiki, the residence of Mr. Rycroft. From Kapohoiki the new road turns back and runs along the shore to Kapoho, the residence of Mr. R. A. Lyman. Carriages now go all this distance. Sofai, the donkey track is a thing of the past. It is said that the road through upper Puna is to he extended about eight miles to Kalapana. Should this be done, all of upper (or middle) Puna would be traversed and the main settlements on ihe shore would be reached. The lands along this middle Puna road lit with a slope toward the shore. The- are ol the most fertile quality and have great advantage of location. They are covered with a luxuriant growth of vegetation, and are mostly heavily wooded, and are seemingly on the edge of the heavy rain belt This middle Puna region offers as fan a chance for the homesteaders as climate and soil can give. Rev. Dr. Bingham has met with a serious disaster in the loss of his manuscript Dictionary of some 7000 words of the Gilbert Islands language. It has been the collection of thirty years residence among that people, and cannot be replaced. It is also a necessary instrument in the literary work he is The loss cairv ing on for those people. was caused by having too kindly loaned the book to an English gentleman who brought the highest testimonies of character and scientific standing, but who left Honolulu without personally returning the valuable treasure. There is evidence that he committed this and other books to the charge of a Japanese servant at the Pacific Club, to see to returning them to their owners. Moral. Never lend anything you cannot afford to lose. most Popery in the Philippines. Recent exposure of religious condi tions in the Philippines show that, in complete coijtiol not only of religion but of politics in that group, there survives the ancient Popery of the 15th century, that of the Horgias and Torijuemadas. The modern Roman Catholicism of America, and even of France, is a highly reformed religion in comparison. M. A. Hamm in the last N. Y. Independent, writes thereof, from intimate personal knowledge. There is the Church proper, which is controlled throughout by the Dominicans or "Hlack Friars." Then there are six brotherhoods with their numerous convents and monasteries; the Augustin friars; the Recollets; the Franciscans; the Capuchins; the Paulist fathers, who have eight schools and five hospitals; anil the poor Jesuits, who are allowed to have only one college, the Atheneum and the Astronomical and Meteorological Observatory. �84 The centers of insurrection have been the places where the Dominicans and Franciscans conduct their establish ments. The brotheth.iods own vast estates, both real and personal, which are exempt from taxation. The rentals of their lands are crushing to the tenantry. Their fees are heavy for all religious ceremonies, which the Jesuits claimed should be administered free of charge, for which the Dominicans procured the ex pulsion ot the Jesuits, from I TO* to IH.VJ. There is much cruel oppression of the people by the powerful friars. The brotherhoods are said to own one fifth of the cultivated soil of the Philip pines. They have heavy deposits in the banking houses of Manila, Hongkong and Singapore. In Hongkong they own several million dollars worth of real es tate, in the hands of diplomatic trustees. Very oddly they trust the American Consuls in preference to the Spanish Representatives. Nearly every American Consul m the far Fast is a trustee of real estate for the Dominican Friars of the Philippines. It will be recollected how the Domi nican Archbishop of Manila last May denounced the Americans and incidentally the British, as being heretical scum, thieves, assassins, and the assailants of women, unconscious, apparently, of the fact that at the very moment those thieves were holding in trust and protect ing for him over fifty million dollars worth ot property. In social morals, most of the Friars greatly debased. They are generally surrounded by half caste families. There are however, among them a few good and benevolent men, who are not whollyforgetful of the Master. How shall the debased and merely nominal Christianity of the Philippines be purged and recreated? What is to be Hawaii's pari in that work? are In assuming $4,000,000 of the public debt of Hawaii, the United States is only fulfilling an obligation, as well as being immensely the gainer by the transaction. This is made plain by the fact that the United States appropriates the entire revenue of Hawaii by Customs, which is $i60,0u0 annually, or six times enough to pay interest on the debt assumed. With the high American tariff, this Customs revenue will be increased, and is likely to more than pay for all military and naval expenses incident to the defense of the group. It seems to be matter of most serious regret that the voyage of the steamer Columbia of the new Seattle line, should be rendered an ill success, by protracted detention and litigation, giowing out of alleged ill treatment of passengers. There is certain to be in the futuie a heavy traffic in bananas and other fruits from Hilo to Oregon and Washington. Let our Seattle friends persevere. THE FRIEND. .. [October, 1898.
