A number <>f these were Chinese, and we exchanged a few friendly words with Ihem. Some days afterwards, on returning, I was pleased to see how cordially they grootod us. There are not very many Chinamen in this vicinity. Still, however, at the evening service in the Koloa Church, a company of forty or ho wire in attendance, it was pleasant to have with ns also, the veteran Misairnarv, Uev. Dr. Smith, who takes such a warm and setive interest in the work among the Chinese. A number of the Chinoso oaine quite a distance from thoir homes in a neighbouring valley, showing that they had a friendly feeling. From Koloa our way lay along the South side of the Island as far its W'aimea. All nlong the way were scattered Chinese houses, so that we had frequent stops to make. At Keels' we held an evening service with the Chinese working on the plantation. Then followed the beautiful Hanapope valley, where thorc are a huge number of Chinese rice growers. A busy Saturday was spent in the Waimea valley, fording the re or, which rashes over great boulders. This is ono of the most beautifully tropical spots on tho Islands. The Chinese havo found ther wav quite up to the head of the winding valley, and after visiting one house, it always seemed as if there was just one moro beyond. In the evening we visited the Kekaha plantation and gathered a few together for s service, at the Chinese store. On tho following Sabbath, a service was held at Wainien. at Before this we which s few Chinese were prosen attended an interesting native Barries conducted by the Rev. Mr. Rowell. This concluded our mis- t. sionary tour of tho Island. In closing these hasti- ly written notes, I desire most earnestly to call upon Christian friends to pray that the seed sown may spring up Jo the glory of Ood; that our young colporteur may be strengthened and guided in his work, and that a blessing may rest upon his labors and upon all efforts pnt forth by Christians, in behalf of this heathen people. There are difficulties, great and manifold, trials and discouragements tun a few, but this is the Lord's work and if we are working on His side, wo have all reason to press hopefully forward. I regret espocially to see what a strong hold the Chinese secret society, the "Triad Organisation," lias on Kauai; it is a great hindrance to Christian work. When will our Government take energetically in hand the task of investigating and suppressing this baneful association? I have abundant reason to speak with hearty gratitude ot the kindness and generous hospitality I experienced at every point. Some of the best friends of the Chinese Mission cause, are to be fnnnd on Kauai, and their cordial sympathy, so sincerely manifested, is at once a comfort and stimulus to farther effort. F. W.

In this school, we noticed in one class, if we mistake not. it W'S the Latin class, a pu'e Hawaiian reciting alongside of a pure Chnese and by their side, sat equally pure representatives of several European Nations, Portuguese, Knglish, Norwegians, while othcis m ght be arranged along th* vanishing color-line This was gratifying, helievine as we do, that God hath made of one blood a'l the natons of the earth. We do not think there is any pirt of the world where race-prejudice is less appirent than upon these Islands. We hope it may never be more apparent than now, and why should it not die out, under the ameliorating influences of a religion, founded upon the teachings <>f Him, although born a Jew yet rising above all Jewish or Koman prejudices, and recognizing man as man? In our Christian schools, we desire to see all nationalities and races educated upon a common level or common basis. If there is any part of the world where this experiment may be happily tried, it is upon these Hawaiian Islands. Here, let the oriental and occidental vie w.th each other, in the race up the rugged hill of science and knowledge, and if they can study sitting on the same benches with the Polynesian so much the better. We believe in giving all a fair chance, and holding out encouragement to all alike. We think our schools, in Honolulu, of various trades are now doing this good work.

Every traveler in Russia notices the terrible prevalence of drunkenness among the common people. The Czar could not hut notice the same ihirn.', i.nd sea how this horrible habit is spoiling the material for his nniii s, nud impoverishing his Empire. He h>B accordingly issued a decree to restrict the liquor-traffic. There is to be only one liquor shop in » village; and, where two or ihree vill ues arc almost contiguous, the one shop must suffice for their combined inhabitant*. The publican must be a native of the village, must be appointed anil p id by the Common Council, and must sell food as well s liquor. If be allows any person to yet drunk, he S li ible not'only to dismissal, but to fine nnd imprisonment If any Russian village is reported to the authorities to be addicted to drunkenness the sale of liquor may be interdicted lor as loiej a period n.This may not comt m:iy seem necessirv up to the K-'iisas und the low-' plan; butt is good so far >■ it goes.

Gibson, in relation to the sitict ol 'Jiii'sa transl itions nud Dr. slcCariee, shoal I h ivs appeared iv oar report of last Friday* LwjiiUtlTj proceedings. Hia Excellency, on the third readin ; of the Appropriation Dill, moved the insertion ot a new item: For Chinese translations, 51.000, His Excellency said that on the second reading oi the bill, the item for Chinese Interpreter and translations, $13,000, had been only partially accepted by the House—the snm of SIMOO being voted for an interpreter, but the provision intended for translations had been rejected. He felt that better information would enable Honorable members to look at the matter in ■ more favorable light. It had beeu urged that the provision for an interpreter was sufficient, but he begged t' say that interpretation and translation differed, and required different degress of skill. The Assembly recognized iv their worthy "interpreter Wilcox, a ready and fluent adept iv the oral interpretation of the Hawaiian language; but he Mr. Wilcox was ready to ad.nit, he believed, that ho was not equally adept in the matter of written translation. Than we have a well qualified Chinese interpreter officiating in oar Courts of Justice; but he is not a competent translator, and could not render out laws or important official documents into the appropriate character of Chinese official language. But there is a gentleman recently arrived iv the country, who ia eminently qualified to render this important service;— Dr. McCartee, a resident for thirty years in China—long employed in the official service of that great Empire, and who has some claims upon the consideration of the Government of Hia Majesty. When Mr. Carter, our Minister Plenipotentiary, now in Enrope, was in Washington city, he wrote to Dr. McCartee, requesting an interview, and subsequently gave him assurances that his services as a Chinese translator might be required by thia Government and at a later date the late Minister Wm. N. Armstrong, wrote to Dr. McCartee, and hence this gentleman's arrival in the country. He has enjoyed superior rank and pay in China, more than we can afford to offer here,—but as it hap.

After ono eveuiiig there, it was curried to Kauinakapili, that church being more central n.id otherwise better suited to the meetings. Front the tirst thero was a good deal of enthusiasm among the HawaiiiiUH about the meetings. Tiny hail heard Mr. Hallenbeck once or twite when he Was here last summer, and they wele anxiously waiting for hit) return to them this \enr. Their welcome to him has been siucoie and cordial, and he bus, without ciuealior., the hearts ol the Hawaiian People. Tue meetings have grown in interest night by night from tin- first, and at DO time last summer was the work in Fort Street Church more extensive or the interest deeper than it bus beeu in Kntimakapili during the past three weeks. The large room has been filled to overflowing, many who could not find seats Standing about the doors. We, who have lived many years among the Hawniians, nre perhaps a little slow and cautious iv believing in mere professions from them —professions cost this simple people ao little. We cannot doubt, however, that much permam nt good bas been done among them. In many casea professious hare been followed by nets meet for repentance.

The Union Praise and Song Service, Sunday evening, tilled Kawaiahao Church to overflowing. The body of the church nnd all tl c galleries were full, and chairs were placed nt the sides and in front of the platform. It was as it was announced seemingly genuine turning to righteousness. to be a Pru iae cfsrviM. It was conducted by Mi. Mr. Hallenbeck's influence over the half-white Hallenbeck. The service opened with the hymn, youths has been very great nnd beneficial; nod "All Hail the Power of Josns' Name," sung with whatever their subsequent lives may be, many of much spirit by the native and foreign choirs, them now sincerely desire to live better lives seated on the platform, the audience joining iv the Kinging. This was followed by tl.e reading In and to be Christian men. of a portion of the l(l7tii psalm by Mr. It is unusual in the history of revivals that Kngli-ih Hallenbeck. Rev.

The deceased wss the son of Mr. Levi Chamberlain, who served the American Mission most faithfully as Secular Agent from 1822 to 1849. Evarts was born in Honolulu, February sth, 1831, and died at the age of 51. Educated in the United States, at Chester, N. H., East Hampton, Mass., and Phillips Academy, M»ss., and also at Williams College and Cambridge Law School. As an Editor and Soldier, Lawyer and citizen, and also as Police Judge in Honolulu, he acquitted himself with much credit, but he especially commended himself to our esteem when sickness and disease, compelled him to give up nnd retire from professional labors. When henlth abounds, business prospers and the world looks bright, a man may acquit himself honorably, but when disappointment overtakes him and life is a burden, 'how then?'' It wsa under such circumstances, that our friend, appears to the best sdvantage—gentle, kind, uncomplaining. He found a welcome home in the family of Mr. George Wilcox, Lihue. Kauai, where we last saw and conversed with him. We cannot refrain from alluding to one method of passing his time, in which we do not imagine, he will have many imitators or followers. We refer to his spending months on Molokai and other Islands of the gronp, preaching and laboring among the Hawaiians living along the seashore, lar away from towns or villages, and vhile thus searching out the people, spending a portiotrof his time collecting th t peculiar speciea of seamosses known as Algm, and sending the same to be further examined by learned Botanists at Cambridge, Mass, and elsewhere. We are not aware as any other collector of to specimens of Natural history erer stooped gather this species of moss, but it had heapties of rare merit. We hare often called to ipind Mr. Chamberlain's labors as an evangelist and naturalist, and thereby hare beens taught not to orerlook the humblest of Woq creatures, or the most insignificent of hia works. �Till: FRII N D 90 , 1882.

Torrington, history is peculiarly fascinating to persons fond of Puritan history, New EngUnd theological opini' ns, and a philosophy culminating in the Concord school. While we are writing, another upheaval in New England thought and lile is displayed in the appointment of a successor to Professor Parke of Andover. The end is not yet. We look for the news of the next phase of the controversy with almost as much interest as we do the telegrams from Egypt. To understand the Andover controversy, the history of the Concord School needs to be studied. Such books as the one now lying before us are important in showing the progress of theological opinions in New England, hence we return our sincere thanks to the gentleman who has so kindly laid it upon our table. Pounds for Bacchus—Pennies for Christ. Some days since the editor met a mechanic near a liquor saloon, and said to him: •' How is it that you can. work so hard to support such establishments? Do you not give a third part of your wages for their support?" His reply was: ''More than that." He then went on to say, that for 21 years he had bjen a laborer in Honolulu, and tul'y one-half of his wages had gone for liquor, hence he admitted that over 110,000 h.d gone for rum. or 8500 per an num for Bacchus! There are but few professing Christians in this city who can say that, for twenty years, they have given annually $500 for the support of the Gospel. Tell us who is the one man that has done it! Hence we say, ' Pounds for Bacchus and pennies tor Christ." We think we could point to individual saloons in this city, supported by the laboring man uiid merchants, which derive a revenue exceeding the total cost for supporting both '• Fort-street Church" and the " Bethel " Benevolent Enterprises. persons set apart one-tenth ol their incomes for benevolent enterprises. If our business men, planters, and others would thus set apart a tenth, or thereabouts, for these purposes, then our " churches " '• Young Men's Christian associ tions," "missionary societies." and other benevolent enterprises, would not so often become bankrupt. The Trustees of '• Oahu College," " Young Men's Christian Association," and other objects are culling for fund.. Men, acting upon principle ought to be ready to lend a helping hand, without being urged. The real value of a gift is enhanced by the generous spirit which urges forward the donor. Some men in making their donations, do it so grudgingly, that what they do give loses half its value. There are rich men who ought to give liberally for the generous support of all these good objects, but when they are asked to give, it is done most reluctantly. The solicitor feels more like giving it himself than even approaching one of these curmudgeons. American Artisans. A writer in Chambers' Journal, speaking of American workmen, says : What I have said of the building tr dcs applies to all others. Indeed the higher dexterity, taste and skill a business requires, the more does the American workman respond to the demand. The plasticity of type to which I have referred is nowhere seen so plainly as in the domain of the useful arts. Germans and Frenchmen have given a finish to American manufactures that is wanting in our own. Besides there is a native neatness, the result of a high ideal of excellence. This matter deserves the attention of British manufacturers who are looking many markets simply fr.im the clumsiness of their goods. There is rising in the United States a race of artists, designers and artificers who promise to surpiss those of all others n tions The fervor of the clim.te develops the aesthetic side of m n, the chsh of millions of e:tger inventive minds is producing a standard of excellence that is both novel and exalted; the possibilities of we«lth are vastly beyond those of any European state, »nd the love of the elegant and the beautiful prevades nil classes. The inevitable sequence of these cond tions must be wide-spread all-dominating art. It is seen in the gorgeous public buildings, in the exquisite villas, in the light yet strong furniture, in the beautiful appointments of the drawing-rooms and table equipages ; while every American lady, yea, though black, is living evidence of innate taste in dress that makes the English suffer by contrast. Into every avenue of life this characteristic of taste goes, modifying manners and behavior as much as architecture. The tendency in the community at large is to support churches, colleges, missionary societies, and various other benevolent enterprises, by voluntary contributions. Now we argue that professing Christians and others should allow the support of these enterprises to be viewed as a part of their business in life. In estimating their expenditures for the year, benevolent enterprises should form a part of their out-goes. Some furniture, dress, ornaments and tools." 91 1882. Inthe Cup. There is grief in the cup! I saw a proud mother set wine on the board ; The eyes of her son sparkled bright as she poured The ruddy stream into the glass in his hand. The cup was of silver ; the lady was grand In her satins and laces ; her proud heart was glad In the love of her fair, noble son ; but oh ! sad, Oh I so sad, a year had passed by. And the soft light had gone from her beautiful eye. For the boy that she lovod, with a love strong as death, In the chill hour of morn, with a drunkard's foul breath, And the drunkard's ftcrco oath, reeled and stagnant his way To his home,—a dark blot on the face of the day. There is shame in the cup ! The tempter said, "Drink!" and a fair maiden quaffod Till her cheeks glowed the hue of the dangerous draught; The voice of the tempter spoke low in her ear Words that once would have started the quick, angry tear; Hut wine blunts the conscience, and wine dulls the brain. She listened and smiled, and ho whispered again ; He lifted the goblet; " Once more," he said •Drink!" And the soul of the maiden was lost in the brink. There is death in the cup ! A man in God's imn"e, noble, and grand. With talents that ei-atviiud him a prince of the land, Bip]ied the ruddy led win.- ripped it lightly at first. Until from its chains broke the demon of thirst; And thirst liecame master, and man liecame slave, And he endod his life in the drunkard'spoor grave ; Wealth, fame, talents. Isjanty, and life swallowed up. Grief, shame, death, destruction are all m the cup. "I want to Give, but I do not want my Name to Appear." No doubt there are such persons whose modesty would be shocked to see their names in print, opposite a good, generous subscription. We have a suggestion to make to meet such c ses.

Mr. Ballngh, an American Missionary in Japan, has kindly forwarded by the hand of Mr. Joho Cavanagh an old and former resident on the Hawaiian Islands, the copy of a Lecture, delivered by Mr. Cook in Japan. Our limits will only allow us to copy as follows Mr. Joseph Cook's lecture at Ibumura-ro. or "Lecture Hall, Asnkusa, Tokio, on Fridny, the sth instant was attended by nbout 1,500 : person*, several men of prominence in government or political circles being present. The lecture was rendered into Japanese very effectively by the Rev lbuku Kiijinos'ke. En-ores were given to both the English and Japanese speakers showing the lecturer's language was intelligible to many of his Japanese hearers. As the seating capacity of the hull wns insufficient for all, about 500 persons stood outside during the two hours required for the double delivery of the lecture. This s the more remarkable considering the serious nature of the topic of the lecture. In no case whs even smile raised and it d. monstrates that a Japanese audience is capable of listening patiently and even enthusiastically to a speaker and a subject worthy of their attention The following is the substance of the lecture : theme is 'the religions signs of the " Vlyand times,' Japan h.Tse-ll is one of thegre test of these signs.

But 1 must disclose to you the stern truth of history—weak and backward nations must reform or they must be absorbed by more powe ful nations. 1 hold that all aggressions on other nations for such purposes are wicked, but there is enough wickedness in the world to make good the assertion that weak and backward nations must reiorm or be absorbed by the more powerful nations of the west.

At the close, the Rajah Sambhu Narayan Sinha, who. next to the Maharajah of Benares enjoys the highest place in the regard of the Hindoos of the city, expressed in English, on behalf of the native inhabitants much gratitude to Mr. Cook fur favoring them with such an interesting and instructive oration. It is stated that never before in the history of Benares did such a large assembly, representing all classes of the educated and influential Hindoos and Mohammedan inhabitants, listen to a lecture on Christianity.—[tendon. Sunday ut Home. Blending of Races—Under the ameliorating and soften'ng influence ol evangelistic effort we rejoice to witness a blending of races on the Hawaiian Islands. There is one, »nd on'y one, platform up n which they fan meet, and that is under the common fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Christ. God has nude "all of one blood;'' Christ "gave himself a ransom for all;'' all have sinned, and all may be saved through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Now away, then, with these race antagonisms ; labor to convert all to Christ, and view all *s destined alike to the bar of God; then shall we feel kindly towards all, to whatever race or nationality they may belong. It Would really seem as if God was now causing a difficult and vastly important problem to be worked out in this little Island Kingdom. There is not a sufficiently large population so that those of any one race can stand aside and aloof, forming a clan; all races must come in contact. There may be some attrition and rubbing, but let missionaries, C.tholic and Protestant; Gospel ministers, English and American; evangelists and other laborers, including the female lab rers in Bible classes and otherwise, work earnestly and harmoniously together—then will come a happy blending of races into one truly Christian brotherhood �ApyßHTimatairTs.

A Sermon on Tobacco. Rev. Dr. Frederick K. Marvin, pastor of the First Congregational church of Portland, Oregon, has taken strong ground with regard to tobacco. He preached a sermon on Cleanliness, and Self-respect." "TheHappiness, sermon was reported in the Morning Oregonian, and sneaks for itself. After explaining that happiness is not the immediate gratification of every passing emotion, and transient passion and impulse, but consists in the harmonious and symmetrical development of man's entire nature he proceeded to s!*.ow tha' a cle-tn, self-iespecting boyhood and girlhood must be the foundation nnd preparation for a beautiful and noble life. The Doctor handled tobacco without, compromises, and urged young men to have nothing to do with the weed," which he pronounced a useless and noxious plant. He defended his position from various objections by citing the opinions of distinguished physicians and physiologists in Europe and America. He said that in the government naval school at Annapolis tobacco is prohibited, and that the students in Girard College, Philadelphia, are not permitted to use it.

We copy the following from Harper's Weekly for April 21, 1377 "At the request of t'te Young Men's Christian Association of Huston, he next took charge of a noonday prayer-meeting in a small hall in the basement of Tremont Temple. By a growth us natural as it was steady his audiences increased until he was compelled to remove to Park Street church, and thence to Tremont Temple itself. During all this winter there has been in Boston no sight quite so well worth seeing as that of the three thousand people packing the building to hear him, from twelve to one o'clock every Monday, multitudes being unable to obtain admission But the numbers are nothing compared to the fact that they arc ol the very best Boston has of intellect and influence, a very large proportion being from "among those who have had no sympathy with that orthodoxy which is the substance and soul of all that the orator has to say. For he is an orator. As his likeness shows, Mr. Cook is an athelete in bodily power. He speaits beside his chair, from which he tikes the volume out of which he quotes, or the scrap of memorandum he.has made. His style is purely conversational, and is yet clear, concise, and terse in thought and language, leaving a|l ipference from what he has said largely to tho m tnentum of the thought itself, apd never detaining and tiring his hearers by telling them about what it is inevitable they should both think and feel »s the result of all he has established. He quotes freely from his extensive reading, his memory seeming to retain in wonderful variety, like a magnet drawn through it all that which is of the nature of his own thought, and that from authors wholly opposed in general to orthodoxy, some of the most genuine sensations of the hour being the unexpected testimony of Goethe, Carlyle, Emekson, as well as the German rationalists, to the truth he is advocating, the effort of the speaker being to get at the undermost and : 96 innermost soul of his hearer by repeating the deepest and most intuitive soul of the profoundest thinkers of every land and age. Frequently the orator abandons prose and rises into poetry, like flame from coal, a? by the intensity of his thought and feeling. Let these lines of Mr. Cook's own composition illustrate the defects as well as fervors of h s intensity, so far, at least, ns mere poetry is concerned. He is speaking—and it is the supreme thought of nil he soys—of a personal fiod :" Bounds of siiii-i.'i-t.npH none can see ; Worlds God droppcth on His knee ; Galaxies that loftiest swarm Float liefoie a loftier Form.

T, Dillingham, in consequence of a fall from his horse, a short distance from his resilience. He left home about 8 A. M. to come to his place of business in Honolulu. He was found insensible and immediately taken to his home, where the best medical aid was called, but all in vain, and about 2 r. M. he was called away, leaving a beloved wife and two children to mourn his untimely end. His funeral was attended from the Bethel on the following day, at 2P. M. A large concourse of citizens assembled, together with the I. O. 0. F, of which he was a member. He was also a member of the Bethel Union Church. The deceased was born Sept. sth, 1853, in Southborough, Mass.. He came with his family to the Islands in 1875. Kor the past three years he has been a book-keeper, in the house of Castle &: Cooke. In all the private relations of life, as husband, son and brother, he was most exemplary and lieloved, while in the community he was highly esteemed for Christian virtues and honorable conduct. The following Resolutions were passed at a late meeting of the Y. M. C.

Ir. two Afpletoii & Cc. Away back, a half century ago, when an under-graduate ofAmherst College, we could look out from the college windows, across the beautiful valley of willow-fringed," Connecticut river, as Holland writes—to Northampton, where was the famous "Round Hill" school, in which it was reported, that Bancroft taught, who was writing the history of the United States. Great was the awakened desire among the students to read this history. At length ap|>eared volume I, opening with this sentence of the preface, I have formed the design of writing a history of the United States from the discovery of the the American continent to the present time." The preface bears the date of June 16, 1834. This was 48 years ago hence, Mr. Bancroft must have then been several years in Collecting historic materials and writing the first volume which appeared that year. We can recall, with vivid distinctness, the interest awakened by reading that first volume, and as years have rolled away, and volume after volume has appeared, we have read with equal interest, each successive volume, and now these ten goodly volumes lie before us, which we have perused and reperused many times. Some of them we have noticed in our paper. Under thesecircumstanc.es, it was with no little interest, we read a few months ago, the announcement that Mr. Bancroft was about to issue a history of the constitution of the United States in two volumes. We immediately ordered them from San Francisco, and now these two lie before us, making in all twelve noble volumes. Knowing with what care and painstaking these volumes have been written and rewritten, how thoroughly has been the search for historic data, how many years have elapsed since the undertaking was commenced, how ample the materials at the author's command, how many able writers have contributed their aid, how all the governments of Euro|>e have opened their archives for Mr. Bancroft to explore and search, how notably the world has undergone marvellous revolutions and changes since this history was commenced, it is with feelings of interest that we have perused the last " " ; two volumes of this great historic work. Lord Brougham spoke of Bancroft as the only living historian who understood the philosophy of history. The battles of the Revolutionary war and the prominent generals and statesmen, who figured in that war, have been discussed until they are as familiar as it is possible to make them ; not so with the events connected with the formation of the constitution of the United States. This is something new, and the reader's attention is wonderfully awakened in tracing the history of the United States from the close of the war, until the final adoption of the constitution, about which, Mr. Gladstone thus writes : "As the liritish Constitution is the most subtle organism which has proceeded from progressive history, so the American Constitution is the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." This remarkable utterance or paragraph, Mr. Bancroft does well, to make- movements of nations a marshaling intelligence which is above them all, and which gives order and unity to the universe." We would merely add, that the newspapers report Mr. Bancroft still, at four store, hard at work with his clerks and co-laborers, in searching through libraries and national archives, making copies of important State papers and historical memoranda. He spends his winters in Washington and his summers in Newport. Long may America's great historian, statesman, diplomat and scholar, be spared to forward his useful studies. While scribbling these paragraphs we retail the fact that more than forty years ago, (1839), we were present at the funeral of the historian's father, the Rev. Dr. Aaron Bancroft, of Worcester, Mass., where he had been for halfa century pastor of the Unitarian Church. He was also the author of the " Life of Washington." A sister of Mr. Bancroft) Mrs. Farnam, visited the Islands about twenty years ago, and a nephew, Capt. Bancroft Gherardi, U. S. Navy, will be remembered, when he visited Honolulu, in command of the Pciiiinvla." file motto of these volumes. It will bear reading over again and again, then of being long pondered. If our limits would allow most gladly are could write much about these volumes, but we do specially commend Thirtieth Annual Report of the them, as well as the ten previous volMission Hawaiian Children's Soumes, to the thorough perusal of all tiKiv, with Constitution and Byreaders of history, but specially to all Americans.

Or is there a superior power of intelligence and love acquainted with missionaries of various which is moved by justice and shapes societies The subject of missions is one familiar to us, and in which we their course ?" Mr. Bancroft does not answer these take a deep and growing interest.

Mr. Smith estimates the annual income of this property at $150,000, while the total contributions of the society amount to only $1,956.46. He adds that the contributions of the Hawaiian Fvangelical Association, for Foreign Missions, Home Missions, and North Pacific Institute, amount to only $5,200.69. Without going into a full exhibit of statistics, Mr. Smith draws this conclusion; "It would appear so far as the facts are known and published, that the total contributions of this kingdom by the Lnglish speaking professors of the Calvinistic faith for foreign missions is less than $2,900, a portion of the amount being for home work. Leaving a sum for the foreign work, about equal to the salary of a good book-keeper in a mercantile house in Honolulu.'' This is not a very flattering inference. Other inferences in this address, of Mr. Smith are even less so. Our space will not allow additional comment upon this able address in this issue of our paper, but we shall certainly call up the subject at a future time. We here desire to thank Mr. Smith for the careful and painstaking style of this address. It is uncommonly well written and eminently logical. His legal acumen, protrudes, in almost any paragraph.

The subject is by no means exhausted. Principles have been and are now operating of momentous importance. The future of these Islands, through all coming time must be more or less shaped and modified by this mission work. Just now a new element is entering into this work ; we refer to Chinese department, so essentially modified by the labors of German and American missionaries in China. The subject is a most fruitful one, inviting discussion and cli< iting comment, but just now our thoughts are turned in another direction by the report heading this article "Thirtieth Annual Report, etc." During a full generation a society has existed on these Islands, totally unique anil unlike any other missionary organization, in other parts of the world. It was our privilege to be personally acquainted with the founders of this society and for a period of thirty years to have watched its growth unto maturity. It combines the missionary benevolent, literary and social elements in a remarkable manner. Its members call each other "cousins." Its monthly meetings are highly interesting and stimulating to thought and benevolent enterprise. At one period it published a quarterly, and although discontinued still the unpublished communications and editorials, read at the meetings are among the best literary production of our Island writers. : 99 papers and poems read ui>on the occa- sion. We will merely add that Dr. Hyde presided, and addresses were read accompanying various golden gifts,—a gold watch, gold-headed cane, gold spectacles and articles of choice work- manship. One of the speakers spoke of this most happy coincidence, that this 2d day of October, was also the golden wedding day of Dr. Ray Palmer, author of the oft-sung hymn, "My Faith looks up to Thee.'' We copy the following from the N. Y. Obsaver <A Sept. 14th. "It is now just fifty years since Dr. Ray Palmer, to whose services the church is so much indebted, and whose hymns are sung the world over, began to preach the gos[>el. On the 2d of October next he and Mrs. Palmer, who still lives to be the model of a faithful and loving wife on whom her husband leans, will celebrate their golden wedding. Dr. Palmer's services to the church have been pre-eminent in its service of worship and song. By universal confession he stands at the head of American hymn-writers. "My Faith looks up to Thee," is one of the three or four most loved and [xipular hymns in the language. Though that has made him famous, yet there are a dozen other familiar to the church, such as "Jesus, these Eyes have never Seen," "Before Thy Throne with Tearful Eyes," "Oh ! Sweetly Breathe the Lyres alx.ve," "And is there, Lord, a Rest?" which would have given him the first rank, even if none of them had been like "My Faith looks tip to Thee,'' so preeminently |topular and useful." It is a pleasant idea, that the golden weddings of two such servants of God. can lie associated together. The one standing up in pulpits amid all the associations ot a highly Christian civilization, and the other holding up the " P.anner of the Cross," in a part ot the world, where heathenism was struggling to hold its sway against an advancing wave of Christian influence. We will only add that we hardly imagine, a more happy gathering was convened in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Palmer, in Newark, New Jersey, than assembled at the home of our missionary associate, Dr. and Mrs. Smith in Nuuanvi Valley. Both gatherings will long be remembered, and may both family circles long remain unbroken. �100 THE FRIEND, OCTOHER, 1882. WHAT ARE TO BE THE RESULTS. SALVATION ARMY AND ENGLISH CHURCH. It is now about fifteen months, since Mr. Hallenbeck first appeared upon the Islands and commenced his evangelistic labors, assisted by many co-laborers on Oahu and the other islands. During his last visit he has labored not only in Honolulu, but on Kauai, Maui and Hawaii. Many profess to have been converted and commenced a new spiritual life. During Mr. Hallenbeck's last address in Kaumakapili, Sabbath evening, Sept. 24th, when a large audience was assembled, we could see that he felt no little solicitude in regard to the results of all these efforts. His Either the Salvation Army has captured the English Church or the English Church has captured the Salvation Army. While the papers come with the details of Englishmen and Egyptians, at their skirmishing and battles, papers also speak of the peaceful skirmishing between the Salvation Army and the dignitaries of the English Church lead on, by the Archbishop of Canterbury, and sustained by the Queen. From copies of the War Cry, the official organ of General Booth, commanding the Salvation Army and other English papers, we are made acquainted address to the converts was earnest and touching, most earnestly he urged them to go forward in the way which they professed to have chosen. Now comes the trying season. It is to be seen whether the work has been thorough and abiding. Let us fancy the work to be genuine, then how glorious results. The island community is lifted upon a higher plane—Sabbath' services and prayer meetings are to be better attended ; family altars established ; the Sabbath better kept; the ungodly reproved ; intemperance checked ; our benevolent enterprises better sustained and our whole religious life elevated, ennobled, purified and made better. Results such as these will follow pro- vided the young converts adopt Mr. Hallenbeck's advice and counsels. We must not expect such results, however, unless there is Christian activity, earnest and protracted. Our young men in business, our mechanics in their shops, our Christian prolessional men, should realize that now they have a noble work before them. We hope there will be united action from one end of the islands to the other. These hundreds and thousands of Catholic Portuguese, heathen Chinese and Polynesians, besides the hundreds of "wandering boys " from Euro]>e and America, are not to be moulded and converted without a long and vigorous effort. The good work must not stop, but be pushed forward. On all these plantations, there ought to be found men to establish religious services, and carry on prayer meetings. Owners of plantations and superintendents ought to feel their responsibiliiy. They push forward their laborers during the week, they surely ought to do something for them on the Sabbath! with the fact, most unlooked for and marvellous —that the dignitaries of the Church of England, have actually affixed the seal of their recognition of the Salvation Army as a branch of the true church of Christ. It appears to be 17 years, since the Salvation Army, commenced its spiritual warfare, employing methods and means, the most sensational and attractive to arrest the sinner's attention to gospel truths. They estimate their adherents as some 200,000, and daily- increasing. Recently a large theatre holding has been purchased in London, where the army will hold its headquarters. Thousands of pounds have been contributed by Christians of all denominations, but what seems so marvellously strange is the fact, that the English Church has taken the lead ! Clergymen of the church appear upon the platform ofthe Salvation Army and shout " Hallelujah," "Glory to God!" "Amen!" Such fraternization is a new departure, indicating an entirely new method of spiritual warfare on the part of English churchmen. Great good will no doubt come out of this movement. It has been suggested that English churchmen, are not to be caught napping in this, the 19th century, as they were when the great Wesleyan movement started in the 18th century. It is a well known fact that among churchmen there has long been a feeling, that they did not meet the Wesleyan movement aright, but opposed it, when they should have welcomed it. We refer our readers to various articles found in our columns relating to this marvellous movement of the Salvation Army. The following letter copied from War Cry of July 13, was addressed to Mrs. Booth and read before the 10,000 Salvation Army, on their 17th anniversary : " Our Birthday Letterfrom Her Majesty the Queen to Mrs. Booth. Windsor Castle, 30th June, 1882. Madam. —I am commanded by the Queen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 27th inst., and to assure you that Her Majesty learns with much satisfaction that you have, with the other members of your society, been successful in your efforts to win many thousands to the ways of temperance, virtue and religion. I regret, however, to have to inform you that Her Majesty cannot contribute to the fund you are now endea\ oring to raise for the purchase of the Grecian Theatre. I have the honor to be, Madam, your obedient servant, Henry F. Ponsonby. Free Liquor.—To-day, Oct. 2, the new License I.aw goes into operation. No longer can the Hawaiian complain that he stands not upon an equality with the foreigner. We trust that every Hawaiian from one end of the group to the other will evince his freedom and manhood by total abstinence from all intoxicating liquors. Last evening, the Rev. Mr. Cruzan preached a most timely discourse upon this subject, urging all the friends of Temperance, to accept the situation, obey the law and see that the saloon keepers and wholesale dealers did the same. One feature of the law is, thatpure, not adulterated liquors shall be offered for sale, and if any dealer even offers an adulterated article, he is liable to a heavy fine. Now Temperance man commence there ! After testing the liquors sold, see to it, that the other specifications of the License law are strictly kept. Mr. Cruzan's indictment against rum-sellers was fearfully terrific and withering. This evening the Temperance Society holds a meeting, and we hope they will most judiciously, resolutely, boldly and immediately enter U|>on a crusade to enforce this new License law. If they are successful, then prohibition is surely to follow. Now friends of Temperance, let us have a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together. �MARINE JOURNAL. PORT OF HONOLULU, H. I.

Statement of Captain Pnrcell, of the Brit, ship Kesptgadera,concerning the JafMMM junk spoken by him on the 18th of August, iS3i, in latitude 41 deg. ;o mm. north, longitude 102 west. There was a slight easterly current and light westerly wind. The junk had capacity of aliout 50 tons; she bad a single mast and a bit of a jib-boom; she lay lew in the-water, was covered with barnacles about three: inches in length, and had on small sail Ml and three small square flags (baml>o0 mats) flying from the forestay. Upon the Respigedera approaching to within one mile, the sail of the junk was lowered, and three seamen put off in a small boat for the ship. They were allowed to come on board, but they couldn't speak a word of English; they indicated, however, by signs, that they wanted water. Their vessels, consisting of three large wooden tubs, which they had brought with them in their small boat, were filleci with water, the capacity of the tubs being about ten gallonseach. They were alsofurnished with one sack of rice, one sack of salt beef (about 90 pounds), one sack of biscuit (about 120 pounds), and eight pumpkins, which last seemed to give them especially great satisfaction. As they seemed to have lost their reckoning, I gave them the course to the Hawaiian Islands, and upon their returning to the junk, they set sailand bore off south toward the Islands.

At a recent meeting of the Winchester Diocesan Conference, Lord MountTemple, in moving a resolution, " That the action of the Salvation Army deserves the kind and careful consideration of churchmen," said The organization is a novelty. It introduces a discipline and respect for authority that would not be endured in ordinary religious bodies. It combines the advantages of autocracy with democratic freedom. Every member is expected to take some active part. If he has a faculty for preaching, he must sing or play upon an instrument ; if any influence, he must bring others to the meetings; if he can do nothing better, he must show his agreement with what is said by shouting out Amen, Hallelujah, or Praise be to the Lord ; and those who have been brought out of the old life must testify to the blessings they have received. The drawback and dangers of the methods lie in the sensationalism and excitement by which the multitudes are collected and awakened from their apathy. Some of their placards are very distasteful to persons of higher culture and more sobriety of feeling. On the whole, the lessons that we churchmen may learn are these—that people in the elementary stages require treatment different from the more advanced,- and must be met on their own level. That opportunities must be found in mission services for working people to speak to their own class in their own language and style. That the joy and happiness of Christianity must be communicated to them as well as its solemnity. That the analogy of the pastor and his flock must not be held too exclusively. Even pastors have to feed hairy independent goats, as well as woolly, docile sheep." : " DOCTRINES OF THE SALVATION ARMY. We copy the following from the London Chart and Compass, for August, 1882: They emphasize Salvation. In fact they are called "Salvationists." A glorious name this. For a sinner there surely can be no better title in earth or heaven. The mob have not attacked them because they played musical instrument, marched and shouted. Nay, verily ! But because behind all this, there was a red-hot earnestness for salvation. The mob are very fond of music and dancing, where rim is behind it and not salvation. In how many churches has salvation, free, full and now, been alike urged by pastors and people on those who came ? we leave our readers to judge. In far too many, it is not Is your soul saved ?" but, " Do you want a sitting ?" They go in for salvation ; in fact, if they err, it is not on the side of a shallow surface, intellectual assent, but a perfectionism which is unreal, because unattainable. They hold out lo the criminal and sinbitten soul, a salvation which embodies sanctification and all. They emphasize life. Hence they foster and force it. This is certainly an article of their creed, though perhaps, unexpressed, "whatever we lack, we must have life." They make the animal and the spiritual blend with a vengeance. As God has made us of this paradoxical mixture of animal and spiritual, the great problem is, how to make the former subservient to the latter ? Personally, we felt General Booth was making too much of the former, but certainly the latter is everywhere " proclaimed. Account for it as you may, the tendency of many churches, when organized and settled, is to crush, rather than circulate life. The hard and mere formalism, as cold as death, binds its clamps and chains, and so crushes out almost every atom of spiritual life. Even mission station soon get to ape the churches and lose their first life. People soon feel and act as though the apostles had ordained that they should meet once or twice on a Sunday and go through this particular form of service! In fact, simply to live for themselves. But every now and then, a Wesley, M'Cheyne, or Spurgeon movement, comes as a revolution, life bursts forth with resurrection power and upsets all this formalism. They emphasize warfare, hence they are called an army. Their religion is a business. It is their chief concern, not a secondary affair. We have no faith in the devil's armies, but every Christian ought to be a good soldier of Jesus Christ. We do not believe in the "'gunpowder and glory business," but in Paul's army we have great faith. Perhaps there is no profession, save the sailor's, which is so emblematic as thai of the soldier's. They empasize witnessing. Personal testimony of Christ and for Christ. This is how Christianity was tirst established. Not by preaching of the few, as we understand it, but by the witnessing of the many. Practically, this is not taught in many churches, in fact it is discouraged. What is wanted is, not more preachers in the modern sense, but witnesses in the apostolic, sense. The Holy Ghost always abundantly honored witnessing for Christ. Men and women are not converted from lives of infamy and shame by fiddles or titles, not by external eccentricities, but by internal realities ; not by magic, but the impregnation of life into dormant souls. They emphasize the amstive. Miracles did this in apostolic times. All pulpit orators have their methods of arresting attention. The Salvationists have their General Booth has certainly taken leaves out of Pope Rome, Pope Wesley, Pope Fox, and Pope Plym, and other books. A preacher had better work in the dark, with nothing but mother wit, a quickened conscience and a Saxon Bible to teach him what to do and howto do it, than to vault into an aerial ministry in which only the upper classes shall know or care anything about him. Would you have us, then, join the " Army." Certainly not. But learn what you can of them ; imitate, not their vices (if they have any), but look at their virtues, which are not hard to find. Make your association with Christ the chief thing of your life. Commit your all to Him. Cross the Rubicon, and break your bridges and burn your boats, and so make your retreat impossible. Look not back. "Go forward !" is the command. Limit not the Holy One of Israel in this Redemption and Journey. Would to God we were of good, not offensive, courage for Christ; penetrated through and through, permeated and saturated with Heaven's fire—Holy Ghost fire. Then we should " seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." Is it not written ? They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." War. —At Newport, R. I., recently a device for exploding torpedoes under an enemy's vessel, designed by Lieut. J. C. McClean, of the American navy, who was a delegate to the recent Electrical Congress at Paris, was successfully experimented with this morning in the presence of a naval board. A launch was sent out by aid of electricity, no one beii.g on board, and was made, by the use of one electric wire, to do eight different things, among which were to start, stop, back, go to port ami to starboard, and to drop and fire mines, and countermines, which were rigged at the ends ofspan placed on each side of the launch's bow. Lieut.-col. Bradford, who was at a keyboard on shore, had perfect control of the launch by the aid of one wire. The electrical part of the experiment was in charge of lieut.-col.

It is fourteen feet long by eleven feet broad, the material of navy blue bunting. In the centre is the American coat-of-arms, the eagle holding in its mouth the pennant on which is inscribed " E Pluribus Union," and perched on a shield, grappling in one claw a bunch of arrows and in the other a bunch of oak leaves. Above jthe coat-of-arms arranged in a semi-circle, are thirteen white stars, representing the thirteen original States. One will be placed on board of each United States vessel, and whenever the President goes on board one of those vessels the President's flag will fly from the mainmast. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Braxton's Bar : A tale or Pioneer vf.aks in California. By R. M. Dagc.ett or Nevada. Nnv York: G. W. CarUton 6- Co. London : S. Low 6- Co. 1882. It was a saying of Dr. Johnson, who reviewed many books, that he never read a book through. We have read this book from page Ito jnge 453. It is a book after the style of Mark Twain and Bret Harte, in which frontier life is depicted with a bold dash of the |>en. From our ]>ersonal knowledge derived from a visit to the mines of California, in 1849, and also a visit to San Francisco in 1851 and 1852, together with our frequent interviews with miners and the oft repeated stories of pioneer life, rehearsed in our hearing, we feel [irepared to endorse the sketches of this volume as not very much overdrawn. The sad tale of the overland journey, and the hardships of pioneer life, present sketches which will ever form a dark picture of human struggles to seek new homes and acquire wealth. The author of this volume, our readers will be interested to know, is the present U. S. Minister Mr. Daggett, at the Hawaiian Court. Undoubtedly, no inconsiderable portion of this volume is made up of a literal copy from his own journal. Unless we arcmuch mistaken, one of the characters, Marcus Caius Telemon Hriggs, may betaken as a graphic and not much overdrawn sketch of his own character and journey overland and sojourn in themines. We have no doubt most of the other characters were merely drawn from his personal friends and assor i ate-s; hence, while the volume- is styled "A Tale," we have read it as veritablehistory over which a thin imaginary veil is spread. Different readers will, of course, read such a book and derive different impressions. As for ourself, we read volumes of this character, and are impressed with that mighty upheaval of the civilized world to send forth thousands and tens of thousands of bold and adventurous men to people the Pacific slo|>e of the Rocky Mountains. That was a great event in modern civilization. It changed the current of the world's population. It was like the casting of a great mountain into the ocean, and long years were needed to allow the waters to subside, and even now the agitation is going forward. The U. S. Government in making appointments does not aim to select men of literary or scientific attainment, but we are always rejoiced when such apjiointments are made, and we trust that our present Minister will keep in mind to exercise his talent for both prose and potty," in a manner which will reflect credit U|>on our country and contribute to the delight of the reading public. A few days since, we had occasion to call at the U. S. legation, and fortunately found the U. S. High Official engaged in a " |>oetical " com]>osition, which we have subsequently read in our Honolulu pa|>ers, and which has been commended for its real poetical beauties. If our narrow limits would allow, we should transfer the poem, but the last stan/.a must suffice " :— () scene of peace ! lieauty ! 0 li.iiiiL- nf anil uf dreams O Waikiki !

BETTER We were glad to hear a planter remark in a recent interview, that therewas an increasing disposition among the planters to provide better accommodations for their laborers. If this is the result of the recent discussion of the subject in our island and foreign KWspnpen, then an important result has been attained. I'lanters are very verily culpable unless they do providewell for their laborers. We see repotted from time to time- in our island pa|>ers, that some of the plantations are- declaring dividends of $20,000, 30,000 and even 50,000 and more. Certainly these planters cannot complain of hard times or poverty. The appointment of Mr. Cleghorn to look after this matter ought to result in much good to the- laborers. Aye think agents would do well to visit plantations and co-operate with their overseers and superinte-ndenls. This is too important a subject to be ignored or overlooked. The eyes of tourisK travelers, foreign officials, agents of for eign government! and philanthropists are turned to this subject, and it will rarely be discussed in newspapers on the- Islands and abroad The- Ameri< an people, in consideration of the fact that they have granick the treaty of reciprocity, have a perfect right to look into this subject If done in a friendly manner great good will be the result. We would add, informationhas cometo us, that during the past few months a secret detective has been traveling over the- Islands, working awhile on one plantation and then going to another, but carefully noting what hesaw and heard. Missionaries are having their work examined and whyshould not planters be subjected to a similar scrutiny ? The Hawaiian Islands are not situated in an out-of-the-way corner of the earth, but on the very highway of commerce, trade and travel. / now lying upon our table. Many of the- sketches will be recognized as essays whit h the- author read in Fort Street Church in 1870, at the Jubilee Gatherings. They are interesting as depicting scenes on the Hawaiian Islands, more than a half-century ago. Such books as this, and those of Mrs. Judd and the Rev. Mr. Coan, contain rich materials for the future historian as well as afford entertaining reading for the present generation. This volume, as also that of Mr. Daggett, noticed in this issue of our paper, relate to Pioneer life; the former on the Sandwich Islands, and the latter on the Pacific coast. The Pioneer Missionaries to these islands, came for a far different object, than im|>elled the pioneers of the coast to cross the Rocky Mountains or double Cape Horn.

Sunday at Home, Aug., 1882. — The "Salvation Army" having taken up positions in the various places in the metropolis and the provinces, has now proceeded to carry out a plan of operations in the city of Oxford. A letter from the University says " The city is being roused by the very practical, but not very scholarly, movements of the Salvation Army. The work of the Army has been principally conducted in the quadrilateral ' of poor parishes occnpicd by Evangelical clergy, and is said to have produced already very marked effects. Publicans are complaining that their custom has been falling off; courts formerly notorious only for drunkenness are not only jKjaceful, but signalised (shall we not say consecrated ?) by the presence of family prayer. In St. Aldate's parish an experiment is being tried by a layman, who intends, 1 am told, to be ordained as Mr. Christopher's curate. Every night he holds a meeting, in which he imitates as exactly as possible all the practices of the Salvation Army ; and so far with the result that many free seats are occupied by men whose figures were heretofore only too familiar outside the doors of public houses, and a few Sundays ago a body of these men were communicants. Blue ribbons, badges of the Blue Ribbon Army,' are to be seen quite commonly in every street. One even appears in the coat of the rector of St. Aldate's.

He is" ■scholarly, rhetorical, scientific. He throws down the gauge of battle, in the presence of the infidel, atheist, rationalist, materialist, and sceptic of any phase of doubt. He wanders over the earth and meets the proud Brahmin, under the shadow of his temples in Delhi, or he will discuss Buddhism with the adherents of that faith in China or Japan. He shrinks not from an encounter with the opponents of Christianity and Missions, in any city of the Orient, and he delights in skirting the inhabited regions of Australia and there preaching the everlasting gospel, or unfolding in outline the mysteries of modern philosophy. It is refreshing to meet a man of this stamp, in his circumnavigation ofthe globe, lifting high est rise of the principal sciences and .arts in countries beyond the influence of Aryan and Semitic civilization, —if, lastly, we take into account the important evidence which the Chinese language, reflecting, like a never-fading photograph, the earliest workings of the human mind, is able to supply to the student of psychology and to the careful analyzer of the elements and laws of thought, we should feel less inclined to ignore or ridicule the claims of such a language to a chair in our ancient university."

Many of the points presented were more or less familiar to those who have read his lectures, but this circumstance rendered the address none the less impressive and interesting. To listen for an hour, to the magnetic utterances of a man who has had the world for an audience, was a great privilege, and one our people thoroughly enjoyed. It was inspiring to be lifted into the atmosphere of great ideas and ennobling truths. He said, most grandly, there are now no foreign nations. Christianity is spreading with rapid strides. Infidelity is proving its own executioner, in petitioning Congress that "impure" literature might circulate through the mails. Three hundred and nine translations of the bible are conveying the bread of life to the famishing nations. Such utterances, so grandly put forth, inspire ministers, missionaries, sabbathschool teachers and other evangelistic laborers with renewed zeal, to obey the "marching order" of their great captarn, "go ye into all the world and preach the gosjiel to every creature." Our earnest wish and prayer is that the noble preacher and lecturer may return to his native land and be instrumental in raising up and sending forth a host of educated men and women, who will leave behind the delights and comforts of Christian lands, and go forth to enlighten the ignorant, lift up the degraded, and "make disciples of all nations." It was refreshing to listen to the utterances of a s]>eaker, who could and did, gather arguments for the truth of Christianity from the wide field of history, sabred and profane, philosophy ancient and modern, and the literature of Europe, India and China It is said to profit by travel, one must take knowledge with him.

One of the most significant and encouraging "signs of the times" is the awakening of the clergy of the Church of England to the temperance question. We clip the following from an exchange: " The youngest bishop of the English Church is Bishop Wilberforce, of Newcastle. He is a grandson of the Wilberforce of splendid memory in connection with the abolition of slavery. Hardly has this new Bishop of Newcastle got to the duties of his office when he begins to evince the moral sense and the moral courage of his ancestor. He finds that a large part of the immense revenue of the Established Church comes from lands and houses leased to liquor-sellers, brewers and distillers. He is scandalized at the use of church property for such purposes. He has determined, in his own diocese, to put a stop to it. The he says, can hardly Bishop of go from his home to his cathedral church without passing a multitude of rum-holes, for the existence of which the Church is responsible. He therefore, in a letter addressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, calls his attention to the matter, and begs him to rid the Church of this burning offense. the people discuss and decide many All this is only another sign of how matters of local interests.

Ultimately the motion requesting the clergymen of the diocese to form branches of the C. E. T. S. in the parishes or missions under their charge was negatived on the ground that in the absence of so many of the clergy it was desirable to give the matter further consideration." From late English papers we learn, that a monster temperance meeting numbering 20,000 and more has been held at the Crystal Palace. Let the ball once start and depend upon it the public sentiment of the English people will push it forward, as they did the anti-slavery movement a half century ago. The question of the descent of John Bunyan is exciting much interest in England, some maintaining that he came from a family of gypsies. A man by the name of Bunyan now claims that he was of Scotch descent, and that the first of the Bunyans was an Italian mason who came to the building of Melrose Abbey. The oldest gravestone in the graveyard around Melrose Abbey has on it the name of Bunyan. JOSEPH COOK AT KIOTO. Accounts have appeared in several religious papers of the United States of Mr. Cook's address at Japan, yet the following reference to a great meeting in Kioto, in one of Dr. Gordon's letters, will be read with interest. Dr. Gordon says:— "You must know that while a national parliament has not yet been established, there are already local assemblies where representatives elected by "It is proDable that the address was more distinctively religious than some —for example, the vice-governor—expected it to be; still, they knew what his addresses had been elsewhere, and they invited him without even a shadow of a suggestion that he should trim his. speech. "Coming out of that meeting with the recollection that that great audience of legislators, a vice-governor, and many lower officials, physicians, lawyers, editors, teachers, pupils, priests, merchants, etc., have been sitting in quietness and attention for hours listening to a Christian preacher, a foreigner, too, at that, declaring here in this old sacred city of Kioto, that Christianity alone can give them the civilization they seek, the self constitutional freedom to which they aspire, and then recalling the fact that within ten years a Protestant Christian, imprisoned for his faith alone, died in the prison of this same city, one could hardly help shouting, 'What hath God wrought.'" We cannot if we would, and should not if we could, remain isolated and alone. Men under the benign influence of Christianity yearn for intercourse, for the interchange of thought and the products of thought as a means of a common progress toward a nobler civilization.

" This Pais la Edited by a Committee of the T. M. C. A. At the Last regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A., held Oct. 19th, several interesting reports were presented. The chief subject of the evening, was that of our present temperance situation. Mr. P. C. Jones had, in accordance with previous invitation, prepared to some extent his views with regard to the same. He made some practical suggestions, which will again come before the Association for consideration. Dr. Hyde as Chairman of the Temperance Committee presented many facts of interest, in reference to the increase of the use of liquor by the natives, since the passage of the new law, which grants liquor to all without distinction. Among the business items of the evening may be mentioned the one making P. C. Jones, Esq., our delegate at large, during his proposed visit to the States. Also the one authorizing Mr Jones to make enquiries, in behalf of the Association, for a suitable person to become our general secretary, and empowering him to take the initiative steps towards securing such a person. Mr. Frank Eckley was elected to fill the vacancy in the treasurership, caused by the death of Mr. Dillingham. In closing the meeting the President gave announcement, that the subject of Temperance would again be the especial topic for our next regular meeting, and a special invitation was made for the ladies to be with us. The Rev. Joseph Cook has come and gone. He was with us only a few hours, the steamer from Australia arriving at about five o'clock Sunday p. at,, and sailing again for San Francisco at about nine the same evening. But during this brief stay he gave many the pleasure of hearing him lecture. We say many because all could not be accommodated who wished to gain admittance. One of the needs of Honolulu is a large audience room, where, on such an occasion as this Sunday evening, all may find place. Mr. Cook lecturedupon "The Signsof the Times;" and after hearing it, every one felt how unfortunate it was that the hope and plan of our Association could not have been carried out, viz as Mr. Cook was expected on steamer of Scut. 2;, to keep him with us until the next steamer and have his presenceat the laying of the corner stone of our new building. Such a man of strength and power would surely have placed us on our feet However, we do not lose courage. We will place ourselves, by our own strength, upon our feet, and will be all tbe stronger for having done so. Though Mr. Cook simply came and went, as it were, our interest and regard for him has greatly increased. For now we have come in contact with him. We have seen and heard him, as well as read him. "Do you not think, that the opening services at Fort Street Church are too long?" asked one of a companion. "Well, I don't know; how long are they?" "Why," says the first speaker, "at one of the recent meetings, as I timed it, they occupied fifty-three minutes, while the sermon, and it was a good one too, was but twenty minutes long. It seems to me, that though the kernel is very precious, still we are too long in getting off the husks. Really I was quite exhausted, on the morning to which I refer, before the sermon commenced, and I was not so able to appreciate and enjoy it as I would like. Is it not ]x>ssible to have some change made? Ido not care for the long sermonso much, as for the physical strength, if you please, to aid me in taking in and enjoying the short one." We print the above conversation for what it may be worth. We think the form of service chosen, has been so chosen, because it has seemed to the pastor and others as the most fitting, and beautiful, and preparatory for the "kernel" which is to follow. But if there is anything in the service which unfits, as the "length of it" spoken of, surely it ought to be looked into. As Temperance is to be the subject of our next meeting, it may not be out of place to copy entire the following speech. It was a temperance speech at a wine banquet. The "House Guardian" describes the situation as follows: "Recently the freeholders assembled in the new extension of the county jail, Patterson, New Jersey, to celebrate the expenditure of $30,000 for that purpose, and to partake of a banquet provided by the officers of the board and the contractors. After drinking a number of toasts, Judge Woodruff offered as a volunteeMoast, "The Temperance Cause," and called upon W. H. H. Bartram to respond, which he did as follows: "Gentlemen: I thank you for this invitation, and I recognize its fitness. You have assembled to celebrate the enlargement of this jail rendered necessary by use of strong drinks, in which you are so freely indulging this day. Down stairs the cells and corridors are crowded with criminals who have but changed places. A few years ago they were respected citizens, some of them occupying as res|K>sible positions as those filled by yourselves, but they commenced as you have commenced and they continued as you are continuing, and to-day they are reaping the harvest in a career of crime, and paying the penalty with a period of punishment. (At this moment another bottle was opened, and Mr. Bartram said:) I hear the popping of a cork, I listen to the merry voices and the praises you are singing to the infernal spirit of wine; but there comes to me the sad refrain, from the prisoner's cell, who is shedding penitential tears over his folly, and accompanied by the still sadder wail of anguish uttered by the broken-hearted wife, worse than widowed through the traffic in strong drink, which, as a judge in one ofyour courts said, 'is the great promoter ol crime,'a traffic licensed by you and sustained by the patronage you are this day giving it. It is with inexcusable sadness that I discover that there can be found in Passaic County so many men with hearts so hardened, feeling so calloused, sensibilities so blunted, that in a place like this, under circumstances like these, they dare raise to their lips that which depraves the citizens and endangers the state. Thanking you, gentlemen, for this unexpected privilege, I take my seat fully conscious that you will never again call on me under similar circum- stances." Christianity bids us seek, in communion with our brethren of every race and clime, the blessings they can afford us, and to bestow in return upon them those with which our new continent is destined to fill the world �113 "THESE FBOM THE LAND OP SINIM."-Isaiah, 49:12.

China has negotiated treaties with the United States, England, France, Germany and other European nations. Recent intelligence announces that even China and Brazil in South America have entered into treaty relations. This kingdom of Hawaii has sought treaty relations with America and the nations of Europe, including the little kingdom of Denmark, although there is no trade or intercourse between Denmark and Hawaii. Viewing the subject from either a Chinese or Hawaiian stand-point, the situation of affairs is quite strange and HONOLULU, NOVEMBER i, 1882. vent so large an immigration of males and so very limited a number of females. Homes should be provided for the homeless immigrants. Even supposing China is indifferent to this subject, then why should not Hawaii take the initiative ? She has the most at stake. Her integrity and vitality as a nation are seriously imperilled by the present drift of affairs. It is of vastly more importance to Hawaii to cultivate and carry forward a satisfactory policy with China, than with any other nation on earth. America and other nations may treat with the rulers of these islands, in order to advance trade and commerce, but China is sending hither her thousands of hardy industrious, frugal, thrifty and shrewd unaccountable.

I THE CHINESE IN HAWAII. A sermon preached in Fort Street Church Sunday evening, Oct. 28th, /88s, at the request of the Hawaiian Board of Mission, by J. A. Cruzan. Isaiah xlix: 13. And these from the land of Sinim. Isaiah, the far-sighted and the clearsighted, looked down over the ages and saw that wondrous day when the Messiah's Kingdom should be worldwide. The nations of the earth all eagerly were pressing in—taking "the Kingdom of Heavem by violence." And among others, China (Sinim), that wonder-land, with its teeming millions, Isaiah tells us, is in that day to be eager for the Gospel as the rest. "Behold, these shall come from far; andlo, these from the North and from the West; and these from the land of Sinim." China waited long for the f«ospel, and when it was brought to her gave it a slow, tardy reception. But there must ever be a planting time before the harvest. China now presents many fields ripe for the Gospel-reapers' sickle. Every indication now points to a wonderful progress of the Gospel in China in the near future. Sinim shall come, for God's word says so. She is coming. During thousands of years China's �114 millions were hem mod in by her "great wall" of non-intercourse. But at last English cannon battered this barrier down. China was not only opened to the world, but, what was, perhaps, still more important, the world was opened to the Chinaman. And he is going everywhere. Into Siam, Burmah, and India, hehas made his way by hundreds of thousands. Throughout the Malayan Archipelago, New Zealand and Australia—everywhere you will find the übiquitous Chinaman. He has turned his almond eyes westward, and, like another Columbus, has discovered America, to the tenor of the politician and the American Irishman. Into little Hawaii, the smallest of Kingdoms, he has come, until now more than onehalf of the adult males residing on these Islands are Chinamen. Out of the 80,000 people living in this little group of islands, there are probably nearly 14,000 Chinamen, and about 300 Chinese women; some estimate the number as high as 15,000. As thoughtful Christian men and women we would do well to seek an intelligent answer, first to this question: 1. WHAT KIND OF MAN IS THE CHINA- MAN? The worldhas done the Chinese scant justice in the past. The Chinaman has been curtly dismissed as an ignoNever have a rant heathen pagan. great people been more misunderstood. It is coming at last to be recognized that the Chinese are a great people— great not only in numbers, but great in intellectual power and those sterling qualities which in the "struggle for existence," may, world-wide, bring him to the front. This is certain, that except the Anglo-Saxon, they are the greatest people on the face of the earth. i. The Chinese are an intellectual people. Their literature dates back to the time of Moses. They had poets, sages, and philosophers centuries before English history began. When President Angell, of the Mich. University, was United States Minister in China, last year, he wrote to the students in Ann Arbor these words: "In a most emphatic sense it may be affirmed that public opinion here is made, and this empire is governed by scholars. With rare exceptions, men cannot attain to official positions, of even moderately high grade, unless they have evinced their scholarship in public examinations." Civil-service-reform, which America is now demanding of her politicians, China has had for 2,000 years. Of course among Hawaii's 14,000 Chinese there are few scholars. But they all came from that intellectual scholarly nation, where love of, and reverence for learning is in the very air the people breathe. They are not the densely ignorant dolts which many suppose them to be. They are quick to learn and eager for knowledge. THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1882 2. THE CHINESE ARK A COMPARATIVELY MORAL PEOPLE. Says Dr. Judson Smith:—"They are not free from sin, and vice, and social corruption. No man, or nation, wins that boon without Christ and his salvation. But the Chinese are relatively a moral and intellectual people. Morality, the proprieties of the human relations and conduct, has been the very substance of the thoughts, and Not, studies for many centuries. indeed, the pure and heavenly morality of the Gospel—then would they need no light from us;—not a morality of broad views, and generous aims, and high aspirations, but still a strict and definite moral code, which has left the impress of moral principal and right living upon the family and the social life of the whole people. They are not a gross, sensual besotted people, whose hopeless inward corruption taints, and weakens, and degrades their mental powers, and all their higher instincts and sentiments." Don't misunderstand me. Ido not picture the Chinaman as without vices, when I say that he is comparathely moral. What I mean is, that, compared with other heathen, he is very superior morally. But he is not a "saint." Far from it. He has many vices, side by side with his virtues. He is a strange incomprehensible being. Says Dr. Humphrey: "In the same person stand side by side, gentleness, thrift, contentment, cheerfulness, self-control, dutifulness to parents, and reverence for the aged; with lying, flattery, fraud, cruelty, ingratitude, avarice, treacherey, and abominable vices." While compared with other heathen he is moral, he is very far removed from Christian morality. 3. THE ARE OF DECIDED DOMESTIC TRAITS. CHINESE Nowhere else on the face of the earth is the family so cherished, and made so important as in China. Ido not mean, of course, that they have as a high an ideal of the family as we find in Christian nations. But there is no tie which binds the Chinaman so strongly as that of the family. Death does not break it, it only strengthens it. After death, then the reverence due parents becomes a part of the children's religion—"the principal religion," Rev. Dr. Yates, of Shanghai, calls it. Every one of these Chinese bachelors in Hawaii has this love of, and longing for the family tie. It is part of his inherited constitutional tendencies and tastes. It is part of his religion. Whatever else he may not desire, one thing enters constantly into every Chinaman's plans: a family of his own. any other man can live there, he will thrive and hoard money. Wherever he has pushed his way he has come as a worker and not as a barnacle. There is only one place where you will not find the Chinaman: the poor house. Not that the Chinaman loves work so much. If laziness, as some one has said, be the "original sin," then I suppose he has inherited his share. "If he can evade work," says Rev. John Ross, a missionary in China, "while he gets his pay, he will undoubtedly be as lazy as a man can be under the circumstaces. But if he can get money only by work, he will neither starve or beg when able to get employment, no matter what kind of work it may be. Industry, and industry guided by intelligence, is the leading characteristic of the great nation. If any race surpasses them in industry, it is only the Anglo- Saxon." These admirable characteristics, joined with many others which I have not time even to mention, have made them the wonderful people that they are:— "a people," so says Dr. Williamson, who has spent 20 years among them, "A people whose intellect is, in all important respects, equal to our own." A people surrounded by barbarous races of nomadic savages, and yet possessing the most stable of governments, many of the arts, sciences, and inventions, a written language and wonderfully rich literature. A people, who in the "struggle for cxistance" have, in 3000 years, from the narrow strip ol country bordering on the China Sea which they then occupied, pushed forward their conquering banner, with its black dragon and yellow field, till now it waves over one-third of Asia and one-tenth of the habitable globe. A people who will one-day be rulers of all Asia lying between the Altas and Yoblonnoi Mts. on the North, and the Himalay's on the South, and perhaps the great group of islands lying to the Southeast. Apeople whoarealready looking across the Altas Mts., and preparing for a contest of arms with their great neighbor, Russia, to decide who shall rule all Central and Northern Asia; and in that contest, which seems inevitable, China will bring her 379,000,000 against Russias 86,000,000. A people who may, one day, contest with the Anglo-Saxon race for the supremacy of the world. More than 14,000 of this wonderful people are already in these Islands. As thoughtful men, as Christians, we should seek an answer to this question: 11. ARE THEY A DESIRABLE FACTOR IN OUR ISLAND POPULATION? /As a laborer the Chinaman is unsurpassed.

But, while all this is true, still his presence may not be desirable. Is there any danger of a conflict of races between the Hawaiian and the Chinaman? Hon. W. N. Armlate attorney-general of this strong, Kingdon, in a recently published letter in the Southern Workman says there is. — He says: "The natives are dwindling away. The Chinese, thrifty, intelligent, lawabiding, equal, if they do not out-number the adult male Hawaiians. But they hold no political power, and are at the mercy of the natives. If selfgovernment is good for the idle natives it is good for the industrious Chinese. If there must be consistency, either the natives must give up the ballot, or the Chinese must have it. The result will be an inevitable conflict of races. It cannot be prevented. To ignore this does not destroy it. It exists, and it is only a matter of time, as to when the conflict will begin." Rev. Geo. L Chancy, a keen observer, who visited yourislands a few years ago, in his charming little book "Aloha," broadly hints at the same "coming conflict." But I do not believe these "prophets of evil"—if they mean an open conflict of force. There will be no war of race between the Chinese and the Hawaiian. If there should be it is not diflcult to predict the result. The Hawaiian would inevitably go down in such a conflict. But, while I do not believe there will be any open conflict between the Chinese and the Hawaiian races, there will be, there is already, of necessity a conflict: That silent, invisible, bloodless conflict, "the struggle for existence," in which "the fittest servive"—such a conflict has been going on for years in these islands. The result is not doubtful. Says Rev. Geo. L. Chancy: "The Chinese are a persistent race; the Hawaiian evanescent. The former have the very qualities which the latter most lack—industry, providence, economy, subtlety—all the money-making arfd money-saving virtues are with the Chinese. Idleness, carelessness, generosity, simplicity, all the money-losing qualities are with the Hawaiian." Everywhere the Chinaman is quietly, peaceably, similingly but insistently displacing the Hawaiian. Nothing is more absolutely sure, which is not already an accomplished fact, than this: That as a laborer, small farmer, shop-keeper, and tradesman the Chinaman will crowd the native Hawaiian to the wall, and will take his place. But, he is doing this peaceably, and with the Hawaiian's tacit consent. More than this: While the Chinese are steadily, surely, displacing the Hawaiians, yet among all our many races thrown together in this little kingdom, no two so completely fraternize as do the Chinese and the Hawaiian. They buy and sell with each other, work together, 115 live together, and inter-marry as no is already being felt in Hawaii, and is certain lo be increasingly felt in the other races among us. There is much more probability of future. In it there is the promise of a an open conflict between the Chinese conflict.

You will find at work in the city, carpenters, painters, aud masons. "Well," you say, "what of it? The Chinaman has as much right to sell dry goods and groceries, and to build houses and make shoes as the Anglo-Saxon." Well, yes, I acknowledge his right: But, if you were a mechanic, or small tradesman, with a large family to support, and had to come in competition with the Chinaman, the case might not seem so clear. The Chinaman is a bachelor. His white competitor is, or will be, at least ought to be, a married man. Says Joseph Cook: "At the bottom of the collisions of labor and capital which caused ten cities in America to listen, during the railway riots of 1877, to volleys of sharp shot, was the compition of bachelor wages with family wages. James here has two dollars and a half a day, and can bareiy support his family. John yonder, has no work, and is a bachelor, and is willing to work for one dollar a day. There is a strike. James who has back of him his wife and children, says to John: 'If you take my place and work for a dollar a day, I will kill you. I cannot keep my wife and children from starving on that!'" *The Chinaman is a bachelor. More than" than that, he will herd like a beast, with his fellows, to save rent, and live on rice and the refuse from the butcher's stall. If necesstty compels he can exist, and work, on 25 cents a day. We cannot afford to bring our white mechanics and small tradesmen be regulated, and our Islands not flooded with males alone. The Chinese immigrant should be required to bring his family, as the Portugese is now required to do." In such a treaty regulation as that there would be a partial preventive of the "coming conflict" between the Chinese and the Anglo-Saxon. It would also wonderfully tone up the moral atmosphere of these Islands if these thousands of Chinamen had families. There is no other such potent moral educator and restraint as the family. Did you ever stop to think what a factor these 14,000 unmarried Chinamen are in the prevailing licentiousness which curses our Island com- munity? 3. Educate the Chinaman. Not only should the few Chinese children in the Islands be gathered into our schools, but there should be persistent, wisely planned efforts to educate the adults. They are anxious to learn. With the new ideas which education brings, will come new aspirations, a broader and larger manhood, and better citizenship, and better laborers. Educated, he would no longer be content to herd like an animal and eat refuse. With his enlarged wants there would be less danger of a labor and wages conflict between the Chinaman and his Anglo-Saxon neighbor. 4. Christianize him. We have no choice in this matter, (i.) It is a stern necessity. We must Christinize the Chinese or they will paganize these Islands. We are "members one of another." The destinies of yourselves, and esi>ecially your children, are closely interwoven with these pagan Chinamen. They cannot dwell among us, cherish their sui>erstitions, and practice into competition with Chinese bache- their reeking vices, without affecting lor wages.

As I have hinted above, our way lay from Kau through the Hilo and Hamakua districts, past Waimea, the home of that "sweet psalmist" and noble missionary, Rev. Mr. Lyons, to Kohala. This overland journey of more than one hundred miles, one of the most trying for horse and rider physically, is at the same time one of the most delightful to a traveller, alive to the grand and beautiful in nature. The wild and precipitous coast of Eastern Hawaii, cleft by romantic gorges, glorious with a luxuriant growth of tropical foliage, beneath which riotous mountain streams hasten to the sea, is one of the most picturesque regions, I have ever been permitted to visit. We were ever in motion, every daybrought us a few miles further and every night, a new company of listeners to the '-good news" which we brought them. Our services were held in all manner of places, high up on the slope of Mauna Kea, in some rough mountain cabin, or down by the shore, where the Pacific wages ceaseless war with the jagged lava ledge, in crowded plantation "quarters," or village churches, or under the star-lit arch of night. Books and tracts and leaflets were given at all points by the way, and we cannot but hope that some seed has fallen on good soil which in God's own time will spring up to His Glory. On Maui our work was similar to that on Hawaii —nearly all the Chinese on the Island were visited on the plantations, or at the different settlements and a very cordial reception was given us whereever we went. One especial feature of the work here, was the visit to the great plantation owned by Mr. Spreckels, where there are from six to seven hundred Chinamen, living at different camps. We returned to Honolulu, with many pleasant memories of the summer's tour. At all points we had met with the greatest kindness and God grant that the work courtesy. may not have been in vain.

Their souls are just as precious as our own. They are perishing in sin. God has, in His providence, brought them to our very doors that we might give them the Gospel. As I ride through the Chinese quarter, as I come face to face on every street with these men from the Orient, there is a new meaning to these words which we sometimes sing: you cannot cross the ocean " IfAnd the heathen lands explore, You can lind the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door.

We have the means necessary to Christianize these Chinese. God has wonderfully blessed the foreign population in these Islands. Into their hands he has given most of the wealth. God has been pouring a ceaseless golden stream into your coffers. Seven years ago the value of the plantations on these Islands was estimated at only six millions of dollars. Now, the late Planter's Convention estimated their value at twenty millions. Are you giving back to God's work in proportion as he is blessing you? Listen to the record: In 1873 >' our total contributions to the Hawaiian Board was $10,849. In 1881 your total contributions were only $5,200! Your wealth multiplied by three—your contributions divided by tii<o\ " But." you say, "there has been a great falling off in the native contributions." Yes. In 1873 the foreigners alone contributed $2,076. In 1881 only $944—or less than one-half! "These things ought not so to be." If the Chinese receive the Gospel you must give it to them. The Christian Chinese are poor. They cannot give their pagan brothers the Gospel. These pagan Chinese will not pay for the Gospel, and it is absurd to expect them to give money to destroy their own religion. We must do it. The destinies of our own families, of these Islands, of thousands of immortal souls, depend largely on our faithfulness in obeying the Christ's command: "Go ye, and preach the Gospel to every creature."

Funds are necessary to carry forward mission work. The rich and poor can aid. A lady sent us recently $1.00, which we received with unfeigned delight. A much larger sum recently came from Liverpool. We refer to a draft for j£ioo or $500, signed by Alexander Balfour, of that city. The name of this donor has deservedly become widely known, in connection, with many objects of public beneficence. Recently when Mr. Moody appealed for funds to clear of! a large debt, on the Y. M. C. A.of San Francisco, Balfour, Guthrie & Co., were down for $ 10,000, and when Mr. Moody first labored in Liverpool, Mr. Balfour, contributed thousands, to carry forward the Evangelistic enterprise. Recently Mr. Balfour has visited the Orient, and we notice his donation of $1,200, to American mission work in Beirout Syria, while for many years he has contributed largely to evangelistic work in Chili, S. A, under the auspices of that noble laborer, Rev. Dr. Trumbull. We desire to assure Mr. Balfour and all others aiding in the special work of the Chinese Mission, on the' Hawaiian Islands, that they have our sincere thanks, and we shall ever be ready to report respecting the manner their contributions are expended. We would merely add, that under the auspices of Mr. Balfours' firm in Liverpool, Balfour, Williamson & Co., the Apprentice's Home, 151 Duke St., has been carried forward. This Home is now doing much good, and we often meet the young sailors from this institution on their visits in English ships at purity of his life amidst the almost universal corruption around him.

As we are desirous of gathering facts in reference to Mission Work among the Chinese, in countries outside of China, we shall be most glad to receive from friends in America, Australia or the Straits settlements, any information bearing upon this point. At the next communion season in January, four persons are hoping to unite with the Chinese Church in Honolulu. Three by profession and one by letter. Mr. John Bishop, who has charge of the Government school at Kaneohe, has opened an evening school for Chinese. We trust he will find much to encourage him in his efforts to do them good. In view of the increasing importance of the missionary work among the Chinese, the Woman's Board of Missions voted at a recent meeting to aid by contributing funds to this cause. We are pleased to learn from Kohala that the Chinese Sabbath School there is in a flourishing condition. Mr. George W. Paty now acts as superintendent. The school is held at the Foreign Church. In Wailuku, the Rev. Mr. Groser, of the Anglican Church, has long taken a deep interest in the Chinese, and has done much for their spiritual welfare, proving himself a true friend to them. This is a field of labor in which all Christians on our Islands can join in brotherly union to advance the cause of Christ. At Wailuku, Maui, there is a large and important Chinese settlement, and we rejoice to learn that Mr. Girvin has started a Sabbath school there for the Chinese. He writes us: "I feel confident that I will capture them with the bait of English, and pray that I may be able to show them the Christ." This is the right spirit with which to go to work, and we trust that many of our business men, will engage in the same good cause. The Chinese cannot fail to be impressed, when our prominent foreign merchants try to tell them of the Saviour of mankind. who has been many years on the Islands, appears to have become a most ho|>eful and intelligent Christian, and has recently united with the Honolulu Church. He came many years ago to the Islands. He was at one time in the family of Rev. Mr. Johnson on Kauai, and the impressions for good which he there received, seem never to have been effaced. What an encouragement this should be to those who have Chinese, as family servants, to labor for their spiritual good! Several men restored to health, returning this week to their work on a Hawaii Plantation, have shown great interest in the religion of Jesus. They carry back with them their testaments and promise to continue to pray to the true God. Let us pray that they be witnesses for truth, in the midst of their still heathen fellow-laborers. One poor man, who was found by Christian friends, lying by the wayside, in a well nigh dying condition, and sent to the hospital has been completely restored We are sometimes taught that we should have hope for the seemingly most hopeless, and labor for them accordingly. We recently received a letter from a lady friend on Hawaii, who writes about a poor Chinaman in her employ, who has till recently been addicted to the use of opium, until there seemed to be scarcely any hope for him, and he lingered in life only a poor and wretched object of humanity. Efforts exerted in his behalf seem to have wakened new life in him, and our friend says of him: "He is certainly a different man now from what he was, there is such a marked changed, that we all notice it; he has given up opium smoking and while he was obliged to take the doctor's medicines, begged me to ask him not to put in any opiates, so to health, and cannot sufficiently exthat the taste for them would not be press his gratitude to God, who has kept up." thus mercifully preserved him.

This year the celebration of the American thanksgiving occurring on the same day as the celebration of St. Andrews, both Americans and Englishmen joined heartily in the observance on the 30th of November. Services were held in Fort-street Church and St. Andrew's Cathedral, the Rev. J. A Cruzan preaching in the former and the Rev. Mr. Mackintosh in the latter place. Audiences good in both places. Full reports of the same have appeared in both our daily and weekly papers. We would acknowledge from the Rev. E.

A. �123 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER 1882 DWIGHT LYMAN MOODY, the lay Evangelist, was born in the town of Northfield, Mass., on the sth of February, 1837. He came of the old Puritan stock, his father's and mother's families being numbered among the earliest settlers of that state. His father, Edwin, owned a comfortable farm-house just without the town, and a few acres of stony land, the whole encumbered by a mortgage. When the building trade was brisk, he worked as a stone mason, and his leisure hours he spent in cultivating his little farm. But his spirit was crushed by reverses in business, and he died suddenly after an illness of a few hours. Dwight was then only four year old, but the shock of that death made an impression on him which he declares he has not forgotten. This blow was followed by the birth of a twin boy and girl a few weeks later. Thus Mrs. Moody was burdened with the care of seven sons, and two daughters, of whom the eldest boy was only aged fifteen. Yet this widowed mother refused to part with any of her little brood. She bravely set about caring for them all, and contrived to have the little hands earn something for their support, by tilling the garden and doing odd jobs for the neighbors. She taught them every day a little Bible lesson, and also accompanied them to the Unitarian church and Sundayschool. Another sorrow came on the bereaved family, through the oldest boy becoming a runaway. We give Moody's description of this incident, as he told it in England, and because of the insight it gives into his home life. "I can give you a little experience of my own family. Before I was four years old the first thing I remember was the death of my father. He had been unfortunate in business, and failed. Soon after his death the creditors came in and took everything. My mother was left with a large family of children. One calamity after another swept over the entire household. Twins were added to the family, and my mother was taken sick. The eldest boy was fifteen years of age, and to him my mother looked as a stay in her calamity, but all at once that boy became a wanderer. He had been reading some of the trashy novels, and the belief had seized him that he had only to go away to' make a fortune. Away he went. I can remember how eagerly she used to look for tidings of that boy; how she used to send us to the jiostoflfice to see if there was a letter from him, and recollect how we used to come back with the sad news, No letter." I remember how in the evenings we used to sit beside her in that New England home, and we would talk about our father; but the moment the name of that boy was mentioned she would hush us into silence. Some nights when the wind was very high, and the house, which was upon a hill, would tremble at every gust, the voice " of my mother was raised in prayer for that wanderer who had treated her so unkindly. I used to think she loved him more than all of us put together, and I believe she did. On a Thanksgiving day—you know that is a family day in New England—she used to set a chair for him, thinking he would return home. Her family grew up and her boys left home. When I got so that I could write, I sent letters all over the country, but could find no trace of him. One day while in Boston, the news reached me that he had returned. While in that city, I remember how I used to look for him in every store—he had a mark on his face —but I never got any trace. One day while my mother was sitting at the door, a stranger was seen coming toward the house, and when he came to the door he stopped. My mother didn't know her boy. He stood there with folded arms and great beard flowing down his breast, his tears trickling down his face. When my mother saw those tears she cried, "Oh, it's my lost son," and entreated him to come in. But he stood still. "No, mother," he said, "I will not come in until I hear first that you have forgiven me." Do you believe she was not willing to forgive him ? Do you think she was likely to keep him long standing there. She rushed to the threshold, threw her arms around him, aud breathed forgiveness." L. S.

They had great trials and great labor in the first year of their mission. They went to carry the (iospel to a people of whose language they had no knowledge, and whose ideas, habits, manners and customs were, in many respects, abhorrent to their Christian civilization. You can imagine how slow this process must have been, and the almost s]K'cial grace needed to prosecute the work. It was a great triumph to save the nation, and to have brought it within the family of nations which was so important to Christian civilizatiou, and to the commerce of the world, and more es|iecially of the United States. How encouraging to all men is the fact that the American Board has within itself a progressive jxiwer, so that the educated Hawaiian is now engaged in missionary labor in distant islands.

Hawaiian Legation, | Washington, Sept. 26, 1882. j My Dear Sir:—l have had the pleasure to receive your note of the 20th inst., inviting me to be present at the meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in Portland, on the third of October. I regret exceedingly that I shall be unable to be present on that occasion, for I have a very high appreciation of the great work which the board have accomplished No one can fully appreciate it unless by a visit to that country, which has been blessed by its labors. I went to the Sandwich Islands in 1850, and resided there till 1877, with occasional visits to the United States on special missions for the government. I was for twenty years Chief Justice and Chancellor of the kingdom, and had occasion to visit often the different islands of the group. I became intimately acquainted with the missionaries and the people in their charge. They were a self-denying and devoted class of men, and the ladies of the mission rendered great aid in the good work. The mission was established fortunate period The islands, from their geographical position, have always j.

I did not spare the system of thought of Mr. Sen; but I confess I admire the man. If Theism is put forward as complete in itself, and as a rival to Christianity, it must of course be criticised; but I think that Mr. Sen himself, as distinct from his scheme of theology, is to be treated with tenderness, and deserves the prayers of the Christian Church. He calls himself a Uni-Trinitarian, but I find myself compelled to classify him at present as a Quaker-Unitarian in a Hindoo dress. He has a doctrine of the Inner Light that remains one of the best of the Quaker mystics; but his views of the person of our Lord are certainly not more nearly orthodox than Channing's. I was surprised to hear that he had never read Liddon's Bampton Lectures on the divinity of our Lord, and I gave him a copy of the volume. He depends for his knowledge of religious truth on religious exercises continued through three, four, and sometimes five houas a day. I thoroughly believe him to be an honest and devout man. My feeling is, not that he should pray less, but that he should study more. INFORMATION WANTED.

Any school, seminary or college, which aims to give its pupils a good, sound and thorough education, but ignores the Christian element, in that education, we deem as a one-sided and defective affair. Such training, as the pupil receives in those schools which ignore God and the Bible, may impart a certain amount of scientific knowledge, but the pupils higher and nobler nature is dwarfed, belittled, starved; hence we hail with delight the building up Christian schools, academies and col- TRIALS OF THE PRESENT TIME. on leges. Some twenty years ago, Dr. and Mrs. Mills were laboring at Oahu College, and the institution flourished under their management. Perhaps no class ever graduated from this institution, superior to the one, the year they retired. Having for so many years, observed their efforts at Oahu College, Benecia and now at their own Seminary, it is with special delight, we refer to their present prosperity. "While on a recent tour through California, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Dodge, of New York City, spent some time visititing Mills Semenary, in which they exhibited a deep interest. Mrs. Dodge has given a tangible expression to this interest by a donation of $2,000 for the purpose of founding a scholarship. This is the seventh scholarship endowed in this institution. The others are William Raymond scholarship, $5,000; the Orrin Sage scholarship, $2000; the James Williamson scholarship, $2,500; the William H. Bailey scholarship, $3,--000; the M. S. Percy scholarship, $3,--000. The parties were respectively of San Francisco, Ware (Mass.) New York City, Sandwich Islands and Oakland." A MISSIONARY'S GOLDEN WED DING.

Not only in general supervision of the work in our midst, but of the work that comes to us from outside. Nearly every mail brings some request for our attention. A mother, through the the secretary of some foreign association, seeks after her boy. Some knowledge of his whereabouts is wanted. He was last heard from two years ago as on Hawaii. Can we not look up the matter ? Again we are notified of the expected arrivals of vessels, which will certain ones abroad whom we must hunt up, and to whom we are to give especial attention. Requests of otherkinds come in. But they cannot always get their due care and attention, because we have no General Secretary, who makes it his business to look after them. This is not meant to discourage our friends abroad from sending in their requests.

But taking the gentleman's own time, an able bodied member of the Y. M. C.

We have a copy of that first number lying on our table. We are reminded of our modest aspirations, only aiming to issue occasionally a sheet, which should advocate the claims of Total Abstinence. Before the month closed, we made our arrangement with Mr. Rogers, the printer of the American Mission, to issue the paper each month. It must be remembered, that in 1842, no English newspaper was issued in this part of the world, although the S. I. Gazette and Polynesian had previously been published. Neither was an English paper published on the western coast of North or South America, or in any part of Polynesia. At a future time, we may note a few reminiscences of editorial life and experiences. SAD TRUTH. It is with sorrow, we make the statement, but we feel that we can honestly say, that, during the past 90 days of free-liquor, we have seen more Hawaiians intoxicated than during the previous forty years of our residence in Honolulu. We do not say, but there has been drunkenness among the native population, but it has not been open and public. It has been rare to witness an Hawaiian intoxicated in the public streets, that disgrace and dishonor has been mostly the lot of Europeans and Americans. Cannot Otb £cric.\ 40, members of the Legislature will be called together at the forthcoming Coronation. Now, is it not within their legal and constitutional province, to either repeal the Free-liquor Law or enact another which shall arrest the tide of intemperance among Hawaiians, and also among foreigners ?

A Sermon preached in Ihe Bethel, Honolulu, Sabbath morning, December /yth. on the occasion 0/the death of the Rev. Titus Coan at Hilo, December 2d, and 47 years a Missionary ofA. B. C. F. M. By Rev. S. C. Damon. Text, Romans 147. " For none of us liveth to himself and no man ilieth to himself." There is an invisible chain binding all mankind in one great bond. No member of the human family can take his stand outside of that great bond and say, " I will stand aloof, inde|>endent and alone, having no part or sympathy with my fellow men." The only being on earth who has acknowledged this principle, in the truest, fullest and best meaning of the term, was the Lord Jesus Christ, the son of Mary, born nearly nineteen hundred years ago,.in Bethlehem, and whose birth will soon be recognized by so many millions throughout the Christian world. * * In proportion as this grand truth is received, felt and becomes influential, in the same proportion will those adopting it, become like Christ, enlarged, elevated and world-wide in :ir sympathies and influences. * * ***** * * The hisy of the church universal furnishes inobled, unples of many noble men and women, whose lives beautifully illustrate the sentiment of the text. They their Divine Master have lived and en ready to die for the well-being of others. Their lives were devoted to the good of their fellow men. They have evinced a rare devotion in the elevation and uplifting of those for whom Christ died. In their lives there has been a reflection of the life of Him who went about doing good and who could say, I am the resurrection and the life." In their lives has been a reproduction ofthe life of Christ, agreeable to the language of Paul, I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless, I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." In a modified and inferior sense this is the sentiment or feeling, of every true follower of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The truly Christian man or woman lives for the good ofothers and their usefulness ceases not when they leave this world, but being dead they speak, and their memories fragrant with the perfume of kind words and loving deeds, are cherished for long years and centuries. Our dead" says George Elliot "are not te " " " dead to us until we have forgotten them." The church at large does not forget the lives of the true and good, any more readily than their kindred and friends. If their names are forgotten on earth, they will be found recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life. THE DEATH OF THE REV. TITUS COAN. One such has recently passed away and left an important field of usefulness in our island community. It was his privilege to die in the beautiful home, where he had lived nearly a half century and to be buried in the churchyard, where he had so long preached. He was known to many of you personally, and you have often heard him lecture and preach. For very many years he annually preached in this pulpit, when he made his visits to Honolulu in June, to attend the meetings of the Hawaiian Association. The grand business and great object of his life has been to preach the gospel among Hawaiians, and right nobly has he performed his life-work, first in his own church, and after that in preaching tours through the Puna and Hilo districts, although, his labors have not been confined to the immediate neighborhood where he lived. He loved Hawaiians, old and young, at home and abroad. I need not dwell on this feature of his character and life, in proof that he was an earnest, successful and devoted missionary. His recent publication, "Life in Hawaii," is a modest autobiograhical sketch of his own missionary life, as well as a valuable contribution to island history. In that volume, the fact is happily developed, yet well-known to his friends and the public that he had broad sympathies which led him to labor efficiently for his fellow men, of all races and nationalities, so far as they were brought under his influence. LABORS IN BEHALF OF SEAMEN. Here I may appropriately allude to his efforts and labors, through a long course of years in behalf of seamen. For many years he has been a most efficient seamen's chaplain. Assisted by the Rev. Mr. Lyman, a chaplaincy was there sustained by their voluntary well-directed efforts, which for efficiency and usefulness equalled almost any chaplaincy in any other parts of the world. Upon this subject I can speak with great freedom and assurance for during the past forty years I have been in the most intimate correspondence with him upon this subject. I feel quite sure the spiritual interests of seamen attached to the whaling fleet and vessels of war, could not have been more thoughtfully cared for if a chaplain had been sent out from America or England for this special field of labor, yet this extra service was discharged with the most hearty cheer and thoughtful consideration. I feel quite sure many masters, officers and seamen will have good reason to bless God, to all eternity, that they touched at Hilo, in their long voyages, and came under the happy influence of the Rev. Mr. Coan and the other resident missionaries at that port. MR. COAN AS A PREACHER SPEAKER. AND Our departed missionary friend and ministerial associate was one who loved to preach the gospel. He was no ordinary preacher, but often was truly eloquent in both English and Hawaiian. His sermons in the latter lan- guage must have numbered many thousands, while in the English he was ever willing to assist other ministers and always preached to great acceptance. As a platform speaker few were more ready or eloquent. During his visit to the United States in 1870 his services were in great demand, and he addressed thousands in the East, the West and the Middle States. MR. COAN'.S PATAGONIAN EXPLORATIONS. Distinctly do I remember, when an undergraduate in Amherst College, hearing a narrative of that visit of ex- ploration in company with Mr. Arms, who came to Amherst and addressed the students. These explorers manifested a truly heroic spirit. Their tour is aptly and graphically described in the recent volume written by Mr Coan, and entitled Adventures in Patagonia." Theirs was a daring enterprise and worthy of being recorded beside that of the most perilous missionary tours since Paul, Peter and the other apostles traversed the Roman empire, from Palestine to far away Britain and Spain, and distant Arabia and India. " MR. COAN AT HOME. Some men are distinguished in their public career, but fail when viewed in the home circle and by their neighbors. We believe, it was the good fortune of our departed friend to appear at his very best at home and among his familiar friends and neighbors. He was most considerate and thoughtful of those with whom he came in familiar intercourse. How often have we heard guests refer to the home of the Missionary Coan at Hilo, and have ourselves ex[>erienced his kindness. I am happy to bear my testimony to the purity, refinement and ideal beauty and excellency of that home. It was one of"xv Homes" so enthusiastically and happily described by the Rev. Dr. Chancy in his volume entitled, "Aloha." There was one trait of his character to which I would not fail to allude, I refer to his love for children. They were in his thoughts continually and his correspondence with many of them outside of his family circle was He delighted to most interesting. preach for their special benefit. There are other traits to which I might make reference as for example, his love for science and nature.

China is feeling the influence of Western ideas and Western civilization. I doubt if there is any other people on the face of the globe among whom the Gospel will win such victories in the next quarter of a century, as in China. And not only is this true of those who remain at home in China, but it is also true of those Chinamen who emigrate to other lands. They are being christianized. And yet, in the face of facts, there is a general impression that Christian work among the Chinese is a failure. Not long ago an intelligent American made the astounding assertion in my presence that "after years of effort, all the Christians on the Pacific coast claimed was eighteen converts." As an encouraging fact, I clip the following from the Christian Union's report of the Cleve- 3 THE FRIEND, JANUARY, Gatherings.—Never Christmas have churches, schools and families so generally observed Christmas, as during the past week. One lady remarked in our hearing, that she never was in a place before where they had so many Christmas days. For nearly a week, gatherings were prevalent, at the Bethel, Fort Street church, Chinese church, English church. Catholic church, Katimakapili church and Kawaiahao, and we know not in how many families. Our limits will not permit our noticing these in detail, but that great good will result, we entertain no doubt. There is a great amount of Christian philosophy summed up in the remarks made by the late Mr. Marquand, of Connecticut, who, while he lived, was an open-handed friend of every good work: '"A Christian,' he says, 'should never be troubled because he is asked to give. If he cannot give he may well be sorry; but if he does not wish to give he ought to be more than sorry —he should be alarmed. Lack ot money is by no means so sad as is the lack of a disposition to contribute of what one has. A man often shuts the door in the face of his best friend when he shuts out any call to his benevolence.'" Mr. Cook in India. He thus writes about himself:— "In all I have made forty-two public appearances in India and Ceylon on eighty-four consecutive days.

For common blessings the usefulness of which is absolutely necessary to our welfare, like the shining of the sun and the air we breath, we seldom stop to give thanks or really appreciate their importance. The Honolulu Sailors' Home has become so much of a fixture in our community, and its usefulness is so generally diffused through the twelve months of the year that we seldom think of it as one of our benevolent institutions needing support. It is here and lives, but few care to inquire how. At our last annual meeting the executive committee were authorized to expend $300 in the way of necessary repairs, provided the money could be raised. We have to report that on commencement of the work the building was found so much decayed that over $600 was necessary to cover the outlay, but the treasurer will report that the mqney was raised, and principally from among the trustees; hence it is our privilege to report that a debt of only a few dollars remains unpaid, and the building is now in good repairs for years to come.

C3T Some years ago, it was our privilege to officiate at the marriage of a certain couple, but the bridegroom delayed for some years to remember the "fee," but when it came it was quite generous. We met the same party recently, and called his attention to The Friend. He admitted, that for 30 years he had been a constant reader of our little sheet, but had never subscribed.

Fane's advertisement, relating to Marble Works. In former years it has been necessary to send orders to Boston, Fondon or San Francisco for tombstones, but that is no longer necessary.

Harper cV Brothers. 1878. Some thirty and more years ago, we recollect to have read, with intense interest, M. Hue's Thibet, and have heard of his book of Travels relating to a journey through the Empire of China, but we have not had the good fortune to meet with the latter work, until while making a late visit to the Government Library. We can hardly describe the delight wehave experienced inreading this work. The journey was made forty years ago, but the description has all the freshness of a present reality. It is one of the most charming and brilliant narratives we ever read, and among the many books we have read upon the Chinese Empire, this is the best. Although written by a Catholic Priest, we have met with scarcely an expression to Empire. which we could not assent. Of course "A French Lazarist" views christian missions and christian life from a different stand-point from that of a Calvinistic New Englander, yet they have more in common than some superficial observers would imagine. M. Hue with his companion M. Gabet went as missionaries in 1838, to the interior of Asia, among the inhabitants of Tartary and Thibet. After learning the language, and laboring there for 1883 of person and mental powers enriched by education, culture and refinement. It has been our high privilege to meet persons of this class. Among them was the christian lady whose life and letters we have had laid upon our table. More than forty years ago, while private tutor in a family residing on the banks ofthe beautiful Delaware River, as it gently glides along the shores of New Jersey, it was our privilege to become acquainted with a family in the City of Burlington, N. J., in which were two sisters, Jeannette and Martha Hulme. The latter was richly endowed with poetical and intellectual attainments of a high order, married the Rev. Dr. Canfield, a clergyman of the Episcopal church, who was settled in Ohio, but subsequently in the cities of New York and Brooklyn. Her published works appeared among the volumes of the American Sunday School Union. The other sister married and found her home in the interior of Ohio. There a most charming family of sons and daughters adorned her household. While surrounded with domestic cares and called to carry many of life's burdens, yet she found time for an extensive correspondence, and the reading of choice religious and literary books. The volume lying before us, is the beautiful record of her life, dying at the age of sixty years. It has been our privilege to correspond with members of this family, and during our visit to the United States in 1869, to enjoy their hospitality. There is much in this volume to remind the reader of Hare's "Memorials of a Quiet Life," and also Miss Havergal's writings. Mrs. Piatt was a lady of great excellence and genuine refinement to which was added an ideal attractiveness of person, as appears trom the uncommonly beautiful vignette opposite the title page. The artist has succeeded in reproducing from her photograph a picture worthy of an ar- some years, for reasons not apparent, the Chinese government at Peking ordered their return, Thibet being a dependency of China. On their return from L'hassa to Canton, they travelled at the expense of the Chinese Government. The two volumes contain a narrative of their journey of six months through the very heart of the great empire. Such a journey was never before taken, neither will it be soon followed. If any of our readers desire a peep into the heart of China, we commend to their reading these volumes of M. Hue. tist's studio. We can most heartily join in the remark of one of her friends, Life and Letters of Mrs JeanCompiled by "Never have I known a life more innette H. Platt, her husband. Philadelphia. E. fused with a spirit of Christianity, or Claxton 6f Co., 930 Market St., animated with a sweeter or deeper trust 1882. than hers." This we think will be the It was a saying of Martin Luther, verdict of all the readers of this vol"There is nothing sweeter on earth ume. than the heart of a woman in which The elements conspiring to call into piety dwells." This saying is intensi- being a life and character so pure, fied in meaning, when its possessor is noble, refined and useful, were a rich endowed by her Creator with beauty legacy from her Quaker ancestry, an _ Episcopal training(Revs. Drs. Tyng and Bedell of Philadelphia,) and the home life, amid rural scenes of Ohio. Her letters indicate that she was in intimate correspondence with a wide circle of appreciative friends, and persons of uncommon refinement. Homes, presided over by such noble women and Christian mothers, are the hope of America, and happy prestige for the future of the Great Republic. It is not wealth, or station which are necessary for domestic happiness and genuine christian refinement, but purity of life, love for learning, an unfaltering trust in Jesus Christ as the Saviour of mankind, and an earnest endeavor to follow in his footsteps, in whatever situation of life our lot may be cast. Most heartily we commend this volume, of over 350 pages, to the thoughtful perusal of all fond of reading good books, and who are doubtfulfor the future of America. We shall have confidence in the future, of our native land, so long as it shall be adorned with christian homes, presided over by such pure and noble mothers. THE ANGLICAN CHURCH CHRONICLE. This is the name of a new Monthly which made its appearance on the 2d of December, and hereafter to appear on the first Saturday of each month. There is ample room for such a periodical and we heartily wish it success. The style of the editorials indicate a generous, Catholic and Christian spirit. Ever since the rise of non-episcopal churches in England aud the establishment of the Episcopal Church in the United States, there has been a strong antagonism, which now seems to be dying away. All these various hranches of the universal Catholic church, seem now to be more harmonious than ever before. The Episcopal church in Old England, has recently extended the hand of christian friendship to Dissenting churches and the Salvation Army, in a most cordial manner.

We clip the following series of questions and answers on association work from the "Proceedings of the Second Annual Convention of the Y. If. C. A. of California for 1882: O. Should association rooms be opened during any part of Sunday? A. I think they should, unless there is an objection to it on the part of the local pastors. There arc always young men who would not go to church, but who might spend an evening profitably at the rooms. Q. How can we attract young men to the association rooms and encourage them to spend their evenings there instead ofon the street? A Hy making the rooms attractive, and inviting them to lectures, concerts, etc., and taking special care to introduce them to the young workers of the association. Q. Do you approve of debating clubs, lyceums, etc., in connection with association work ? A. Yes, if you have the right man to conduct them. It requires brains to successfully carry on a debating society as well as any other business. Q. Should association work be confined to spiritual matters, or are gymnasiums and literary societies essential parts of the work for young men? A. Most assuredly they are. All these auxiliaries are proper in their place, and should always be considered as a means to an end, and that end the bringing of young men within the influence of the association and on the way to Christ. Q. Would you provide social games in the association parlors? A. Yes, with proper restriction I would. We furnish checkers, chess and dominoes, and they are frequently used and evidently enjoyed and appreciated by our young men. Q. Is it not practicable to post illuminated and othei mottoes, teaching religious truths? A. It is, if the thing is not carried too far. We have known of individuals so injudicious as to stick up what are known as "Gospel Stickers,'' prepared with mucilageon the back, all over the walls of restaurants, horse cars, sign boards, etc., all this having a tendency to make irreligious people swear, with some grounds of justification. We have many exchanges at hand, to some of which we would like to make special reference, but our limited space does not permit. When we are warranted in having a larger sheet, we shall then be happy to make due notices and acknowledgments. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

His father, Hon. S. C. Allen, was an eminent lawyer of Massachusetts, a member of the legislature of the same state and also a memlier of Congress. Mr. Allen graduated with distinction from William's College in 1823, after which he studied law in his father's office at Brattleboro, Vt., and in 1826removed to Bangor, Maine, and began the practice of law. He was a member of the state legislature from 1836 to 1841, and in 1838 was speaker of the House. He took a prominent part in the settlement of the north-eastern boundary question at that time. He was elected to the twenty-seventh congress taking his seat in March, 1841. He failed of election to the succeeding term, the successful competitor being Hannibal Hamlin, afterward Vice-President of the United States, and who was one of the pall bearers at Mr. Allen's funeral at Bangor. He was on the foreign affairs committee while in Congress, and was further concerned in the settlement of the north-eastern boundary question. In 1846 Mr. Allen took up his residence in Boston and there practised law. In 1849 he was elected to the legislature of Massachusetts, and in 1850 was appointed U. S. Consul to the Hawaiian Islands, and left shortly after for this country. He decided to remain in the islands and gave up his office to accept a place in the Hawaiian cabinet as Minister ofFinance. He was sent as Envoy to the United States in 1856, and was appointed Chief Justice and Chancellor in 1857, which office he held for the long term of twenty years. He was sent to the United States on diplomatic missions in 1864, and in 1870 was again accredited to the government and has held the position ever since. He labored long and earnestly in behalf of a treaty of reciprocity between the two governments and it was largely due to his efforts that the present treaty was negotiated in 1876. Notwithstanding his advanced age, within a few weeks of seventy-nine years, he was still engaged in active work in favor of the treaty at the time of his death. He was the dean of the diplomatic corps at Washington and fell dead shortly after paying his respects to the President with his colleagues. He was a trusted and honored servant of this kingdom, whose gratitude he has richly earned, and was held in the highest regard by his large circle of official and personal acquaintances in Washington and elsewhere in the East. His death is a great loss and is much to be regretted by the people of these islands, who all unite in tending to the bereaved relatives their most sincere sympathy and warmest aloha. g �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 10 NEW GUINEA AND THE NEW GUINEA MISSION. BY REV. A. W. MURRAY. The Island of New Guinea, as we all know, lies close to the shores of Australia. It is separated from the extreme north point, Cape Yorke, by a channel only about eighty miles in breadth. This channel, Torres Straits, is studded with islands, so in passing from Australia to New Guinea, land is always in sight. The island of New Guinea, so named by the early Dutch navigators, from a fancied resemblance to Guinea on the coast of Africa, is now ascertained to be the largest island on our globe. Like most of the islands of Polynesia it lies NNW. and SSE. It is wholly to the south of the equator, extending from 0° 22' to 10° 42' south latitude, and from about 125° to 150° east longitude. Its extreme length is 1,490 miles, and its greatest breadth is 410 miles. It has an area of about 300,000 square miles, about double that of Japan, and the estimated population is 2,133,000. This estimate qf course can only be taken as an approximation towards correctness, it is not however a mere guess. It is based upon the ascertained population of parts well known, which shows 640 to the square mile, and applying that to the whole area, as given by Wallace, the most reliable authority, it yields the number we have named, It is hardly likely that this an is overestimate. Of the interior of this great land, little is known, and even many parts of the coast have been very imperfectly examined, and it may safely be affirmed that no part of the globe of equal extent is so little known. It is just to us now what the interior of Africa was to our fathers fifty years ago—an unknown land. And does not this fact invest it with a profound interest ? What a field for exploration and discovery is before the missionary and the traveller! 2,133,000. 1883. further refer to the island as a whole. This part of the island, beginning at Torres Straits, has a coast line of about 600 miles, and on the south side within the space of about 400 miles along the coast and 15 inland ; there is a population of about 55,000. Our knowledge of this is the result of a careful estimate made by our enterprising brother Mr. Chalmers, who has visited every place of importance from the great gulf, close to Torres Straits, to the East Cape which forms the extreme point of the island. The most noticeable feature in this part of the island is a magnificent mountain range named the Owen Stanley Range, after the commander of one of Her Majesty's ships, who visited the island many years ago. This gentleman was a brother of the late Dean Stanley, and it is an interesting fact that his mortal remains lie interred in Australian soil, I believe in the North Shore Cemetery, close to those of the late Commander Goodenough. This mountain chain extends from near the gulf to within thirty miles of the East Cape, and it attains its greatest height in one grand mountain, which monarch-like, towers above the rest reaching the height of 13,200 feet. This is directly in the rear of Port Moresby, our chief missionary centre, and it forms one of the grandest sights on this part of New Guinea. Besides the great mountain range there are many smaller ranges, and there are mountains and hills of all shapes and sizes which we must not stop to particularize. The main range may be about forty miles inland, and along the coast there is a belt oflow-land of varying breadth, and there are rich and fertile valleys and streams and rivers, varying in size from the tiny rivulet that trickles down the mountain side, to the great Fly River, which, at its junction with the ocean is, I think about three miles in breadth. In some parts the soil seems poor, being covered with long coarse grass and scrub ; in others it appears equal to that of the finest islands No one has yet succeeded in crossing even the narrow eastern peninsula, and that is the only part of the island with which we have any considerable of Polynesia. acquaintance. Our knowledge of that All the principal places on the south dates from the the first missionary voy- coast, and also many places thirty or age to the island in 1871, made by Mr. forty miles inland have been visited by McFarland and myself. Before that Mr. Chalmers, so we have reliable inwe knew about as little of that part as formation respecting the numerous we now do of the main body of the tribes that inhabit these parts. The island, and since our missionary opera- various tribes differ considerably among tions are confined to that, I need not themselves. The Malay race seems decidedly to predominate, and though there seems a wide diversity among the languages spoken by the differenttribes, I think it probable that the differences will be found to be dialectic and not radical, a matter of great importance in a missionary point of view. Some of the tribes are cannibals, but the great majority are not Some are very quarrelsome, and are frequently at war, while others are more quiet aud peaceNo trace of infanticide has been found among them. On the contrary they are fond of their children, and brothers and sisters show much affection for each other, and children reverence their parents; and Mr. Chalmers makes the following important remark which goes far towards accounting for these unusually favorable traits among a heathen people :•—" No where have I found polygamy prevalent enough to call the New Guinea natives polygamists out and out." And this accounts also for another redeeming feature in the character of the people of New Guinea, women are more fairly treated than in most heathen lands with which I have any acquaintance. The men do all the heavier work, leaving to the women that which is more suited to their sex. To this however there is one remarkable exception—the women are the carriers of burdens, but to this they seem to take naturally without regarding it as anything of a hardship, and from habit they are able to carry great loads on their heads with apparent ease. Mr. Chalmers speaks of having seen women with loads high piled on their heads, and on the top of all a baby, climbing steep hills, 1,600 feet high with as much ease as if there were on a fine "macadamized road. Some of the tribes bear a very bad character and evidently deserve it, but on the whole, the natives of New Guinea compare favorably with most savage nations with which I am acquainted. We cannot compare them with what the Samoans were in their heathen state, but they are certainly of a much less fierce type than were the Fijians ; nor are they such ferocious cannibals as were some of the Hervey Islanders, the ancestors of the men and women who are now laboring among them as missionaries; and as regards their moral character, there is reason to believe that that stands considerably higher than did that of the Tahitian and Hervey Islanders before they were brought under the influence of the Gospel. able. (To be continued.) �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1883, NEWS BY THE MISSIONARY PACKET. The Morning Star arrived Thursday morning. She left June 19, 1882, and on this, her twelfth voyage, sailed 12,229 miles. The winds and currents have been unusually favorable, as Captain Bray reports only 431 hours of calm and 543 miles of head current. July 10th, anchored at Tapiteuea, finding the George Noble there. Nineteen days were spent in the Gilbert Islands. At Apemama the King and 300 of.his people were waiting to be admitted to the church. He had visited Maiana and addressed the people there, urging them to give up dancing and drinking and accept the religion of Jesus. On Marakai the old man, who is the ruling power in this ap in many other islands of the group, had enacted a prohibitory law. Whoever persisted in making or drinking toddy had his cocoa-nut trees cut down as a penalty. At Apaiank Rev. Mr. Walkup put his house and school on board the Morning Star and moved the institution to Kusaie. Left Butaritari July 29, and arrived at Kusaie August 13th. The various missionaries here organized themselves into the Micronesian Mission, with the design of holding an annual meeting and conferring with one another on the condition and progress of the missionary work. Ponape was reached August 27th, Mokil and Pingelap being visited on the way. Rev. Mr. Sturgis, Rev. Mr. Houston and wife, Mr. Rand and Miss Fletcher were landed here, and Mr. Rand's house. September Ist the Morning Star returned to Kusaie, and taking on board Dr. Pease and his family and scholars with Mrs. Rand, sailed September 16th for a voyage through the Marshall Islands, touching at Namerik, Ebon, Jaluit (where Mr. A. Capelle has recently been appointed United States Consular Agent), Mille, Arno, Mejuro, Maloeap, taking away for Honolulu the Hawaiian missionary Kekuewa, and anchored again October 29th at Kusaie, having visited all the missionary stations and given the old scholars (twelve men and boys) an opportunity to visit home, and taking two new ones. Landed Mrs. Rand at Ponape November 7th, and then taking Rev. Mr. Doane and some Ponapean teachers, sailed for the Mortlocks and Ruk. At Uman 200 of the Ruk natives came on board to visit the largest vessel. A new teacher was landed at Tefan; the one left last year at Utet had died. There are now four churches with ninety-three members in Ruk, and the whole people as well as others to the west are desirous of teachers. Reached Ponape December 12th, on the return voyage, having been gone only thirty-one days. December 21 st started homeward for Honolulu, bringing back Mr. and Mrs. Houston, whose intention at first was to go to Kusae. But in coming out in the last boat the plug was knocked out, and when miles from land the boat sank to the gunwales. By dint of swimming and floating the whole party reached the shore in safety. Most of the freight, which had been thrown out, was recovered the next day. Just before sailing, the Greyhound, from California, arrived at Ponape, bringing news of the arrival of the Julia at Honolulu the day after the Morning Star left. This was all the news heard from Honolulu during the voyage. THE GRAIN OF CORN AND PENNY. 11 THE SUTRO TUNNEL, THE Now completed, discharges 3,000,000 gallons of water daily from the Comstock mines. This water has a temperature of 195 degrees, and is conveyed through a closed pipe-flume to prevent the escape of vapor. After a passage of four miles through the first tunnel it loses suddenly 7odegreesof heat. A second tunnel, 1,100 feet long and an open water-way a mile and a-half long conduct the water to Carson River. Along its course are hot-water baths antl laundries, and a plan is on foot to conduct the hot-water through pipes under ground to be made available for purposes of irrigation and for supplying artificial heat to hot-houses.

A new way of dressing wounds, which was discovered by accident, has been introduced in the clinic of Professor Esmarch, at Kiel, by Dr. Neuberg. Twoyears ago there appeared at the clinic a laborer who had sustained a compound fracture of the torearm eight or ten days before, with considerable laceration. He had got a comrade to surround the whole forearm at once with a thick paste of peat mold, on which was laid a rough splint of wood. When he came to the clinic he was in good general health, and on clearing off the mold the doctor found the wound to be healing beautifully, without any sign of suppuration. Dr. Neuberg was led by this experiment to investigate the properties of peat mold, and his conclusion is that it is peculiarly valuable for the purpose ol oressing wounds, chiefly because of its great power of absorbing the products of decomposition. As seven! nay, worth its weight in gold, And that increased a million fold! For lo! a penny tract, if well Applied, may save a soul from hell. That soul can scarce be saved alone, It must, it will itsbliss make known: 'Come,' it will cry, 'and you shall see What great things God hath done for me.' Hundreds that joyful sound may hear, Hear with their heart as well as ear; And these to thousands more proclaim Salvation in 'the Only Name.'

The value of these wells is pecuniarily very considerable, aside from their convenience. They have brought hundreds of otherwise useless lands under cultivation. Wells have been partially successful on Kauai, but not as yet on other islands. The following will be read with interest: The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution says From being the driest and one of the Artesian wells.—The — : unhealthiest towns in South-west Georgia, Albany has become perhaps Hhe best watered town in the State, and while the country round about is as full of sickness as ever, it has had very little, indeed, of the Customary sickliness. All this has been brought about simply by boring two artesian wells. Over 500 feet of boring was done at an expense nf less than $1,500, and a supply of absolutely pure and ice-cold water fully sufficient to more than supply the wants of the city of 3,500 people is the result Albany's example is being followed by several towns, and with the facts before them there is no reason why scores of South Georgia towns, which are now regarded as unhealthy on account of their water, should not become as healthy as the average. France is talking very big about Madagascar, as well as about Central Africa. M. Gambetta's organ assures us that we shall have to accept the treaty by which M. dc Brazza seized a large slice of territory upon the Upper Congo, and M. Grevy has refused to see the Hova delegates from Madagascar. France has from time immemorial asserted pretensions to that island she has never been able to justify. As late as 1868 she ceded her treaty rights, and acknowledged the sovereignty of the Queen of Madagascar. Now, with a strange high-handedness, she is disposed to repudiate this surrender, and wishes to revive her influence. Unfortunately the French are most unpopular in the island. They have been the curse of the country, introducing a loose morality and attempting all manner of oppression. Instead of being the most favored, France is the most detested nation in Madagascar. The English, on the other hand, have made no less substantial progress in the affections of the people. English is far more in the ascendant than French influence, and in this must be sought the real explanation of French pretensions in Madagascar.

Dr. Taylor, a native of the Old World, has become a genuine American, and sees so much good in American institutions that he expresses a most decided opinion, in opposition to the too prevalent idea, among Americans that it is best to educate their children in foreign lands, meaning Europe. "But," he adds, "when one has arrived at mature age, and grown into patriotic appreciation of his native land, he will be all the better fitted for the discharge of the active duties of life by making a brief and observant tour through the countries of the Old World."

NEW BUILDING AT OAHU COLLEGE. Not only have the Trustees opened a " Preparatory" in the city, but on the college premises, have contracted to erect a brick building ioofeet long and two-story high, with deep verandahs, at a cost of over $20,000, —all to be finished on or before the opening of the next school year in September. This action of the Trustees, ought to convince the friends of education and the public, that the Trustees are not so dilatory and inert as some have represented. To carry out these plans and keep the institution free from debt, the friends of education must come forward with liberal contributions. No better method of investing funds than in the building up good christian schools and colleges.

It seems to the writer as if the legitimate object of the Association was implied in its name, Young Men's Christian Association. The clear indications are that its work lies among the young men who are now here or may hereafrer come to Honolulu. The fact that two organizations already exist among the young Hawaiians of this community, viz: the Ahahui Opio o Kawaiahao and the Ahahui Opio o Kaumakapili would seem to indicate that the work of this association was not to be directed specially to the non-English speaking Hawaiian youth ofthe community. Again, the fact that an increasing band of before the present age the northern hemisphere witnessed a time of great cold, and more than a third of the North American continent was covered by an immense sheet of ice. The theory of a polar ice-cap is inadmissable since the places where the most ice has been accumulated correspond with those regions receiving the greatest precipitation of moisture. At present the south frigid zone approaches nearer the equator than the northern. Hence some authors think it is passing through its glacial period, and that every twenty thousand years the polar regions are alternately subjected to those frigid influences. Descriptions of existing glaciers in Switzerland and Greenland were given, illustrated by numerous diagrams. Glaciers were rivers of ice—"motionless torrents with silent cataracts." The movement may be three or four feet a day in Switzerland and sixty feet per day in Green- SELF-EXAMINATION. Did I this morn devoutly pray For God's assistance through the day? And did I read His sacred word, To make my life therewith accord ? Did I for any purpose try To hide the truth and tell a lie? Did I my time and thoughts engage As fits my duty, station, age ? Did I with care my temper guide.

While witnessing the unveiling of Kamehameha's statue, we were reminded of a similar event we were permitted to witness in Berlin, June 1, 1880, when, in presence of the Emperor, Crown Prince, and a large assemblage, the statue of Germany's great Poet Goethe was unveiled. It is a noteworthy coincidence, that Goethe, born in 1749, was contemporary with Kamehameha, as he is reported dying at 70, in 1819. The former died in 1832, hence for 70 years these distinguished men were contemporaries, but how dissimilar their lots in life—the one born and educated in the very focus of European civilization and refinement, endowed with the highest poetic gifts, while his contemporary was born and lived to "threescore and ten" amid the darkness of heathenism and barbarism, yet acknowledged as great in many of the elements of genuine manhood. It is hardly possible to fancytwo characters standing in more striking contrast, yet each in his own nation, and among his own admiring countrymen, meriting and being honored with statues to their memory, the one of the purest white marble and the other of bronze, arrayed in the emblems of royalty; both are statues ofwhich Germans and Hawaiians may be justly proud. "That's Him."—The best criticism we have heard made, upon the Kamehameha statue, fell from the lips of the venerable Governor Kanoa, who was the old* King's pi[>e-bearer. When he saw the statue unveiled, he exclaimed "That's Him." He was about 17 years old when the King died, and is now about 80. There are but few Hawaiians now living, who could have seen him, and remembered his personal appearance. ' �THE FRIEND, MARCH, 18 1883 1 am willing. THE CORONATION.

Kapena, standing near the rail of the pa- vilion, declared the King's accession to the throne, giving the list of orders with which he hai been decorated. Princess Poomaikelam, sister to the Queen, then advanced and presented to the King a puloulou and a palaoa borne upon a cushion, Ke Kukuioiwikauikaua, and the kahili of the King Pili, as symbols of the ancient supreme chieftaincy, which, being accepted by the King, were placed beside the throne, and there re- during the ceremony.

The Sceptre, the Ensign of Kingly Power and Justice, is of gold, about.2 feet 4 inches in length, divided by the design into three parts.

The shaft of the column has the laurel leaf entwined about its polished surface, and the capital is finished with three rams'heads, symbols of The central part by which the strength. velvet, sceptre is held, is covered with imperial and the third, 01 uppper part of the shaft, is surmounted by a Globe on which is perched a dove with out-stretched wings, the emblem of Peace. The Crown is composed of a fillet or band of gold one inch in width, set, on each edge, with 16a small diamonds. Midway in the fillet are set 20 opals, alternating with 8 emeralds and as many rubies, save at the back, where there are set in the place of the emeralds and rubbies 6 kukui nut jewels of a deep reddish blcck, high- ly polished. At the front and back, and on each side, the fillet is surmounted by a golden Maltese cross, in thearmsofwhich are set forty-eight diamonds, each arm having three. In the center of the cross in front of the crown is amagnificent diamond of about six carats' weight, and on the sides others a little smaller. A splendid carbuncle glows in the center of the cross at the back. Between the crosses are short curved bars forming twelve points, from which spring taro leaves in frosted gold, beautifully veined, and each one holding a diamond in its center. Between the points are set twelve other fine diamonds. Springing from the fillet, over the crimson velvet cap of maintenance, are eight bars of gold, whose surfaces are studded with half-round knobs, as in the crown of France. These eight bars diminish in width, and finally unite at the base of a globe of dark red enamel. These eight bars are emblematical oi the union of the islands of the group under one rule. The globe that they uphold is banded horizontally with a circle of pearls, and another like band passes over the other half of the globe. Surmounting the whole is a golden Maltese cross, in which is set four brilliant diamonds. The except that Queen's crown is precisely similar, it is a trifle smaller. Each crown contains 521 diamonds, 54 pearls, 20 opals, 8 emeralds, 1 large carbuncle, and 6 kukui jewels. His Majesty wore the white uniform of the Guards, with a white helmet, and plume of white, red, and blue. He wore the Grand Cordon, Star and Collar of the Order ofKamehameha I.; the Star of the Imperial Order of the Chrysanthemum of Japan; the Star of the Order of St. Michael and St. George of England the Star of the Order of the Conception of Portugal; and the Star of the Order of the crown of Hawaii. Her Majesty the Queen wore the Order of Kalakaua, and that of the Crown of Hawaii. Also a diadem and bracelet of diamonds, emeralds, rubies, and amethysts.—/. C.A. MISSION PROSPERITY. Since the first of May, the commencement of its missionary year, the Board of Foreign Missions, of the Presbyterian church, has sent out to different missions twenty-four ordained ministers, one missionary physician, twenty-four single ladies and fifteen wives of missionaries; or a new force of sixty-four laborers. Of these, six have gone to Persia, six to India, ten to Siam and Laos, thirteen to China, six to Japan, one to the Chinese in California, ten to different Indian tribes, two to Mexico, were paid to the station they are to occupy, when their salaries begin. This is the largest force the Board has ever sent out, in a single year. Joseph Cook. —Since his return to Boston, he has commenced a series of XII Lectures, entitled, " Advanced Thought in Great Britain." Each lecture is accompanied with a prelude. Four preludes and four lectures have been delivered. These have awakened animated discussion in the religious circles in the U. S. and will call forth criticism. If any of our readers desire to keep informed upon the tendency of theological and biblical discussion, we heartily commend to their reading these able lectures. His second lecture opens with this remark, "If England is our Motherland, Germany is our Fatherland ; and it must be confessed that in the highest matters of Philosophy and Science, Germany now leads the world. Chinese Christians in Kau.—The Rev. Mr. Forbes reports, that during his late visit to the Pahala Plantation, Kau, he administered the Sacrament to a company of 30 Christian Chinese, and that 6 adults and 4 infants were baptized. These christians, have held religious services, wtth great regularity during thepast two years, although destitute of a Pastor. It certainly speaks well for these converts from heathenism, that they should thus, under many adverse influences have sustained christian worship. From what we learn from other points on the islands, those professing Christianity among the Chinese, compare most favorably with professing christians cominghither from Europe and America. Dublin.—From the Dublin Daily Express of January 4th, we learn that Messrs. Moody and Sankey are conducting most successfully a series of Evangelistic meetings in that city. Audiences are large. So large are the gatherings, that separate services are held and conducted by Mr. Bliss. All evangelical denominations unite in these services .At one of the services we notice that a clergyman Mr. Moody in 19 THE FRIEND, MARCH, HAVE THEY SEEN IN " WHATTHINE HOUSE?" Isaiah xxxix. 4.

Tierny's Report.—This we have read with much interest as published in the Gazette of January 17th. The writer shows great candor and writes, in a style to convince the reader, that he is telling the honest truth. " Oahu" appears to have a good, name in that region of the Pacific where the Julia has cruised, while has a bad name. This reminds "usFiji" of the statement of an American Micronesian Missionary in our hearing a few months since, which was this, that among certain islands of Micronesia, " Fiji " and " Hell," were synonemous terms. This is the result of that cruel and murderous system of kidnapping which has been of late years, carried on, with Fiji as its headquarters.. We have seldom read a more candid testimony to the good influence of Missionaries than this of the Captain of the lulia. Jack's wit.—Walking up Kaahumanu street recently, we met two sailors from an American man-ofwar, carrying a heavy piece of machinery. " Well friends, what have you there ?" " A vise," was the reply, adding in the lines of Pope:— " Vice is a monster of so frightful mem, ready To be hated, needs but to oe seen." We have received some valuable Philological Memoranda ftom the Rev. E. T. Doane of Micronesia, and also from A. Fornander, Esq., which we are compelled to omit for the want of space in our columns.

Hereafter, no library can be said to be complete with books relating to Polynesia which is destitute of the four mentioned at the head of this article; and as we continue to peruse them, we doubt not we shall meet with many a bright, sparkling and brilliant paragraph, which we shall gladly transfer to the pages of The Friend. Already many such passageshavearrestedour attention, and our narrow and limited space is our only reason for now omitting them. "Tired Nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep." scenery New Books on At Home A in Fiji, Polynesia. in one volume. Cruise in a French Manof-war, in one volume. Lady's Fire Fountains, in ttvo volumes. These four goodly volumes, now lie on our table, written by Miss C F. Gordon Cumming, sister of the great lion hunter of South Africa, Gordon Cumming, whose writings so fascinated the lovers of wild sports and African exploration, a few years ago. Some months since, a volume entitled "From the*Hebrides to the Himalayas," by the same author, in two volumes, chanced to fall in our way, and its reading whetted our appetite for the above mentioned volumes, when we should be so fortunate as to enjoy their perusal, but we had hardly imagined what an intellectual and captivating feast was to be spread on our table. We have been reading books on Polynesia for more than a half century. We remember, away back in the "20's," when in the Sabbath school, taking from the library, "A Journal of a tour around Hawaii," and some of its pictures are now before our mind as distinct as though viewed but yesterday,—there was the portrait of old Governor Kuakini, and a picture of the missionary preaching to the naked Hawaiians on the lava in Kau ! We have been reading all the books published relating to Polynesia ever since, but we can truly say, the last course of the feast is the best. These four volumes cover the whole of Polynesia, from Fiji and New Guinea in the West, to Eastern Island in the East, not omitting any group, from the Hawaiian Islands in the North to New Zealand in the South. All the prominent islands scattered over this vast ocean Miss Cumming has visited and described with her pen, and many a tropic scene has she sketched with her pencil and brush, which she wields with a delicacy and tact, the envy of artists. Looking forth upon our tropical scenery, mingling with the aborigines of Polynesia, and the various races now taking up their abodes on these fair islands, she describes the present aspects with a vividness and beauty which charm the reader and hold his WTapt attention for hours, when he What particularly pleases us in these volumes is, the fairness, kindness and candor, so manifest throughout. The writer does not forget that she is a christian lady, and when interviewing the various personages, she manifestly respects them in their positions and surroundings. The sad defect in a multitude of tourists and travellers is, that going abroad viewing themselves as the ideal standard of humanity they mar their writings and conversations with rude comparisons and harsh criticisms. Now Miss Cumming avoids these short comings in a most remarkable manner. Throughout these volumes we have scarcely met with an exception to this remark. Then to, she writes with an intellectual vigor and grasp of thought, which renders her letters models of epistolary and historical composition. She has spared no pains to read up the history ot Polynesia, as laid away in old volumes of the early navigators, and Missionary reports and journals. She clearly discerns the grand march of Missionary and commercial influence, and sees with clearness the manifest intentions of the governments of Eugland and France with reference to the future of the Pacific. The two volumes, entitled "Fire Fountains," relating to our islands, we have given the most thorough perusal. For honesty and fairness, we cannot recall a more truthful tourist throughout our group. A knowledge of botany, chemistry and geology, enable her to move about in our lava fields, visit our burning volcanoes and admire the choice flowers in our gardens and along our mountain paths, as well as gaze with wonder and awe into the fiery depths of Kilauea. She was peculiarly fortunate in her visit there. But little can hereafter be accomplished in wordpainting after what Miss Cumming and Miss Bird have done. The reading public are certainly under great obligations to the visits of these two English ladies to our islands. Their "letters " have been perused by a class of readers in England, moving in the very highest and most aristocratic circles; and we are glad to learn, that now cheaper editions are issuing from the press. The "3d " and cheap edition of "Home in Fiji" has already appeared from the press of W. Blackwood & Sons of Edinburgh. These volumes are illus- MONTHLY CONCERT AT THE BETHEL. At the last Wednesday evening gathering at the Bethel vestry, the subject of the Mission in Papua, or New Guinea, was the topic upon which the Pastor gave a lecture, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Bishop. The latter gentleman had prepared an excellent map of the western part of the Pacific, including what is known among geographers as Melanesia, Micronesia, and a portion of Polynesia. This map indicated most accurately and admirably the relative position of the various groups of islands studding that portion of the vast Pacific, now receiving the Gospel. Mr. Damon referred to the fact, that the recent trip of ihe Julia had brought to Honolulu one hundred laborers, who belonged to thePapua or Negro race. They were the first who had landed here, and hence, it was important to learn from what part of the Ocean they came, and what were their race affinities. After speaking of the Presbyterian Mission on the New Hebrides Islands, and the Church Missionary Society on the Solomon Islands, his remarks related to the prosperous Mission now being established on Papua, or New Guinea. This Mission has now been in operation about 12 years. Mr. Damon rather abruptly closed his remarks, reserving something for a future occasion, when he introduced the Rev. John Edwards, who is now visiting the islands, but who is attached to the Choctaw Mission, in the United States, under the Presbyterian Board, but formerly under the A. B. C, F. M. For some 40 minutes, Mr. Edwards spoke in a strain of remarks intensely interesting, recalling the early history of the Choctaw Mission, and referring to some of the noble men—Kingsbury, Wright and others, —who had been engaged in that Mission. Mr. Edwards took up the question of Civilization antl Christianity, showing which should go first in the evangelization of the heathen people. We cannot give a full report of Mr. Edwards' most interesting address, which was listened to with marked attention. We sincerely hope he may be invited to repeat it, with additions and variations. Mr. Edwards is a gentleman who has a right to speak with authority upon Missionary matters, from experience among Indian tribes, and also from being a lineal descendant in the fourth generation, of the celebrated President Edwards of Theological and Missionary fame—the Biographer of David Brainerd, and the Missionary to the Stockbridge Indians.— Saturday Press. �MARINJ E OURNAL.

The people of Honolulu are often spoken of as forming an intellectual and refined community. Yet it is a question also often asked, why are not the opportunities for intellectual, literary and social improvement that are constantly being offered to youruj and old among us not more highly prized and made use of ? Our foreign churches in their occasional lecture and entertainment evenings on weekdays, are from time to time giving admirable opportunities for sociability and mental improvement ; our library and journal association not long since gave a really superior course of evening entertainments in which music, select readings, and dialogues made up an excellent programme for an evening's entertainment, and it was free to all. Yet how few attended ! Is an entertainment less sought after in Honolulu, becouse it is free ? is a question one feels like asking. Or are people so satiated with this sort of instruction and entertainment that they will not turn out in great numbers ? Again the very ones who are least represented at these assemblies are those who would be most profited by them. The young men and lads who have no homes, or only unattractive boarding places at the best, at which to spend their evenings, are the ones whom it is now desired to draw in and shield from temptation and vice, and yet they seldom and some of them never, put in an appearance at these places. The admirable and highly instructive and entertaining lectures lately given by Prof. Hitchcock (soon to be resumed) were not attended by as large a number as their interest merited. We do not mean, however, to be understood as intimating that the audience was not a good one. But the class whom we have mentioned did not largely attend. The audience was mostly confined to church-going people who know a good thing when it is offered and desire to avail themselves of it. What is the remedy lor this condition of affairs ? To give up the attempt that is being made with partial success and let things take their own course ? No. We would say, let us study the field and if we have not fully succeeded in the past, strive to do better in the In spite of the evils that now press with special force on the Hawaiians of Honolulu, and the discouragements which tend to weaken the hands of every true worker for this race, there are indications which for the encouragement of philanthropists and christians deserve to be mentioned. The rum shops may be crowded of a Saturday evening and during other evenings with a noisy crew of drinking boys and men, with women and girls in the fringe of the crowd, but there are young, as well as old Hawaiians who have for the first time lately set their faces resolutely against this social evil. The powers that be may see fit to treat the people to a coronation hula full of all indecencies of word and gesture, but it is a consolation to know that while many applaud, there are not a few who turn away in shame and horror and mourn that these ghouls of the old times of darkness of 1783 should be conjured up and made to do service again in this year of grace 1883. While the weak are brought low, the strong are doubtless strengthened. Prof. Hitchcock, who no longer needs an introduction to this community is expected back from tbe windward island in a few days, when we shall have the pleasure of listening to the remaing three lectures of his course. The subjects as announced by him are: I. The Coal Age. 2. Life in the later geological periods. 3. Volcanoes, with the geological history of the Hawaiian Islands. The committee have some hope that he may arrive on the Atlauea Hou on Saturday morning, Mar. 3, in which case there will be an effort made to have a lecture from him on the same evening. If this arrangement is completed the public will be notified by public posters and also if possible by advertisement in the Saturday newspapers. Keep a sharp look out for the posters! There are a few tickets to Prof. Hitchcock's still unsold. The monthly meetings of the Y. M. C. A. trom the world 24 YouCMnhgerisntH Aa'oc onolulu. Mr. H. M. Whitney arrived in town by the I-walani, on Tuesday last, and has already been instated in office as PostmasterGeneral. It is his intention shortly to investigate, either in person or by competent proxy, the working of the several postoffices on the different islands. Work in this direction has for a long time been much needed, and we hope shortly to be able to record the establishment of some system and efficiency as regards the mail service in the outlying districts. Mr. Whitney's known ability and his experience in postal matters is a sufficient guarantee that the work he is about to undertake will be well and thoroughly performed. steamer From W. H. Lentz at the Volcano House, we learn that there is great activity in both lakes with flowing lava in fifty places on the floor of the crater. Prof. Hitchcock with Kilauea, Mr. Perriman, accompanied with the guide Ahuai that piloted Capt. Dutton, left on the 12 ult., for the source of the flow of 1881 and the summit crater of Mokuaweoweo, but it has been very stormy ever since, with thunder, lightning and torrents of rain, and their investigations are consequently being made under great discomfiture and disadvantage. Whatever may be said of the artistic merit of the resplendent Kamehameha Statue, has been unveiled to the public gaze since our last issue, and no one we fancy, would think of comparing it with the handiwork of Phidias, or Michael Angelo—the gilded cloak of the hero attracts not a little attention. The label kindly informs the Hawaiian that he is looking upon the statue of Great Kamehameha. It certainly forms a pleasing feature in the view of the Government House from the street. A fine iron steamer is being built at Philadelphia for Jno. D. Spreckels & Bro., which is intended for our inter-island trade. Her dimensions are—length, 195 feet, and width of beam, 33 feet. She is guaranteed to steam 12 knots; and is to have first-class passenger accommodations, with separate staterooms. The Y. M. C.
