The Christian Church, in its general application, denotes the aggregate body of believers in Christ. The Institution is of divine origin, and both Scripture and history tell us that the well-being and progress of the Christian cause are dear to the heart of God. Indeed, the entire co.lduct of His administration is to promite the highest good of all that love Him. ; The Church is not only tho substance, security and glory of a land, but it is the chief cause and interest which God has in this world. As a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so, O Church of the Living God, does thy God rejoice over thee. Before Time was born the cause of God was assailed. Angels rose in rebellion, and they failed. After Time began, a happy pair lived with God in Eden, but an intending foe dropped poison in the cup of their wedded bliss. The young Abel, the first professor of religion, became a martyr for the cause of God. The King of Egypt arrayed himself against the Almighty and oppressed His chosen peuple. The kings of the earth have ever set themselves and conspired against the Lord and His anointed. As soon as the Messiah was born, a ruler sought the young child, that he might destroy it Though the attempt failed, yet in later years the Christ was nailed to across. And when, after His death, the Apostles went forth to preach a crucified and risen Lord for men's salvation, t'.ie State policy was to harass and I ppress and imprison these messengers of good tidings. One was slain by the gword, and another banished to a lonely isle. In the early ages of Christianity one persecution succeeded another. Julian, the apostate, assailed the Galilean In after ages the and His religion. pathway of the Church's progress lies through fiery trials and persecutions, so that there is not a country, hardly a spot in Europe, that has not been reddened with the blood of those who have been slain for the testimony of Jesus. And yet at no time in the history of the Church has the power of God failed to be equal to the emergencies ot the tiny. In dens mid eaves, in prison and in martyrdom, with the sword over them and the fl imes near them, those true to God have never lacked a song of faith and triumph. Hitherto the Church has outlived every attack, and survived every persecution ; no weapon that has been formed against it has prospered, and in the whole times of its history Evangelical Christianity has never been so strong or so aggressive as it is to-day. How could it be otherwise when God and Christ are on the side of it? But what as to the future of the Church ? Some enterprises in history have had their day, and disappeared to make way for others. Is it to be so with the Church, the organization of God ? Cities of the past have risen, flourished, and declined. Imperial Rome disappeared like a vanished star. Tyre and Sidon, Nineveh and Bahylon, Athens and Palmyra were great and renowned centuries ago, but where are the vestiges of their departed splendor ? Is this also the destiny of the holy city of God ? Religious systems have come and gone. The religions of Persia and Egypt, Greece and Rome have lived and died. Though "the beauty of nature, the charm of art, and the genius of man" were blended with their thought and worship, yet, as ethnic religions, they have shared the fate of the race or nation with which they were identified. Is dissolution the destiny likewise of the religion of Jesus ? We know that it is not. The Scriptures throughout teach that at some time Christianity is to be Anally and completely triumphant; no other Savior, and no other Gospel are to come after the divine Jesus and the heavenly Word, that age after age have saved men and cheered their lives by the blessed hope of immortality. And no other institution is to supersede the organization of God, which has for its foundation the words and deeds of Christ. The Church has stood the shocks ot time without being overthrown ; and not only is it a walled city, but a movable column, continually advancing, of which the most wondrous things have been predicted. One sacred penman has, as it were, vied with another, to spicture in glowing imagery the glorious future that awaits the Church of God. And well they might. For has not Jesus redeemed the Church with His precious blood ? Is it not His care, His treasure, His delight, His reward ? Yes, it is engraven on the ptlms of His hands—dear to Him as the apple of His eye. He love-* it wiih an And at some future everlasting love. day, known to God alone, the Church shall have such glory tbat it shall be a 1886. Number 9. praise in all the earth. This implies a greater excellence than our eyes have ever beheld. Light and knowledge shall abound in all the earth ; there shall be holiness and abundance of peace. We do not know how to illustrate this. The visible works of God in creation have in comparison no glory, because of this ex> celling glory to which the Church of God is moving onward. The sun itself is darkness com >ared with Jesus Christ, the Sun of Righteousness. And the Gospel light that is now rapidly spreading over the horizon will shed its rays on regions yet in darkness, and at an oncoming day it will shine in its fullness, like the sky at noontide, on Asia and Africa, and on every portion of the habitable earth. This is the predicted future of Christianity ; it is an object at which we should directly aim, and a consummation which we cannot too fervently desire. The day of the establishment and praise of the Church should be first in our thoughts. Not to remember Zion above every other consideration the Church of old deprecated as a calamity. "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth ; if I prefer not Jerusalemabove mychiel joy." Absence did not lessen their affection. Zion was in their thoughts, and they were devotedly attached for it, with an affdetion like that of a mother to her child, or like the feeling of a man for his bosom friend. This pledged and glorious event should also continually be in our prayers. The honor has been put upon us to be the Lord's remembrancers. The cause of Jesus Christ is one in which every Christian has an interest, and therefore we should not keep silent, and give God no rest until He establish His kingdom in all the earth. Friends, it is time for fervent, importunate prayer; time to plead at God's mercy seat, urge His promises, argue tie person and deeds of His annointed Son, and ask till He cause our souls to hope. But it is also our duty to work. Prayer and earnest effort must go hand in hand. As Christians we are God's; our time, our substance, talents, lives—all belong to Him. The world will some day be Christ's. Yet this promise neither circumscribes nor supersedes our exertions. Says the late Dr. Guthrie: "The sure words of our God serve not to set us idle any more than the breeze blows to send the sailor to his hammock and rock him over in the arms of sleep. On the contrary, long aw.iy, and his eye often turned hompw.trd across the water's waste, he shakes out every yard of canvas on the bending mast, nod works the harder to �Volume 44, No. 9. THE FRIEND. 4 gain advantage of propitious winds. It is so with us! The more full the gifts and divine breathings of the Spirit, the busier let us be—busier in the use of prayer, of the Bible> and of all those ordinances through which the Spirit works and impels souls onward and homeward in a heavenly course." Are we individually doing our appointed part in this active and aggressive work of saving men ? On a cold, frosty morning, two friends were walking together, and, in the course of a pleasant ramble, they came to a spot which was enlivened by a pretty stream, and the music of a waterfall. The still and silent pool was frozen, and as it lay there quietly locked in its frosty fetters, it strikingly contrasted with the lively spirit of the free and flowing rivulet. "Look," said one of the friends as he pointed to the cataract tumbling down its clear waters, "it is too busy to freeze !" So should we be busy and work with energy and enthusiasm, cheered by the fact that in all lands sowers are sowing, and reapers arc reaping, and glorious crops are growing. In the medieval past alchemists sought the philosopher's stone—that mystic stone, the touch of which would transmute the worthless into precious treasures. They never found it. Yet it is in the world. It is that "stone which the builders rejected," but which has "become the head of the corner"—Christ Jesus. Through His mighty love the world will be saved, and the universal song shall be : MeHSittli reians ! earth's King has come ! Its nre ou His — diadeius brow Its thrones .mil kingdoms uuvo become His everlasting. kingdom now. SAILOR'S HOME SOCIETY AND THE HOME. The above Society was established in 1854 and held its first meeting in the Bethel, on the 21st of November of that year. Of its original officers and members only a few are now among the living ami of these only Messrs S. N. Castle, H. M. Whitney and J. T. Waterhousk Sr. are residents of these Islands. The object of the Society was to provide suitable, respectable and cheap lodgings for the numerous sailors who Were then visiting this port, with such influences thrown around them as would tend to their well being in other respects. For the purpose of incorporation a Charter was granted to the Sailor's Home Society and a piece of land set apart by the Government on which to build the Home, such land to remain the property of said Society, as long as it was used for the purposes set forth in the Charter. The funds required for constructing the present Sailor's Home building were raised by public subscription and the interest shown in accomplishing the object of the Society by his late Majesty Kamehameha IV may well be recorded here. He laid the foundation stone of THE the building on the Olst of July 1855 and soon after that the house was ready to receive its inmates. Thus the Society started on its sphere of usefulness in this community and has continued to carry out its object through nil these years until now. Looking back upon this period and remembering the many fellow workers intent to further the good work of this institution, the figure of the late Rev. S. C. Damon, D. D. stands first and foremost before our vision, and his name and labors are identified with all the good that the Home ever has done for the sailor here. The conflagration of the 18th of April of this year consumed the out buildings of the Home and only providentially the building itself escaped destruction by fire. The three-storied wooden structure had ere then often been spoken of as a fearful threat of fire and the late conflagration directed public opinion more strongly than ever to the danger offered by the Sailor's Home to the city in case a fire should occur in its immediate neighborhood or in the building itself. The Board of Trustees duly recognized the fact and thought it their duty to take steps by which the threatened danger would be obviated and the fears of the public be allayed whileat the same time the continued existence of the Sailor's Home Society as a Corporation would be secured and arrangements be made by which its sphere of usefulness could still be maintained. To achieve this end the Board appointed a Committee of five of its members to confer with I he 1Government and ascertain on what terms arrangement* for the removal of the present building and the surrender of a part of the site belonging to the Sailor's Home Society under its Charter could be effected. The Government met the views of the Committee in a liberal spirit and i'. was mutually agreed upon tint the 'milding be removed, the Society enjoying the benefit of the proceeds thereof, and the Government entering into possession of half of the original Sailor's Home premises, the Society retaining I lot of land of 67 feet frontage <>n Bethel street adjoining the old Bethei Church premises and running back to the Rwh end of the lot at right angles. furthermore the Government agrees, iHyeet to the sanction by the Legislative Assembly, to pay $5000 towards the construction of a new Sailor's Home building whenever the same amount or more is raised from" other sources for that purpose during the five years ensuing. If at the close of such term of five years no such fund is raised then the lot reserved as above Will revert to the Government. At a special meeting of the Sailor's Home Society held on the 25th of Aug., the above terms and conditions were agreed to by unanimous vote of the members present and the proper officers were authorized and instructed to have a document drawn up and signed, em- bodying the terms and conditions mutually agreed upon. The original Sailor's Home building will therefore soon become a thing of the past, but it is earnestly to be hoped that soon another structure will take its place which in smaller dimensions and perhaps on a smaller scale, may prove to be a useful institution in this community and a boon to the seaman who visits our shores. For this object the liberality of our fellow citizens will doubtless not be called upon in vain.

To them we owe even the reduction of several ol the » " �September, 1886. vernacular languages in this part of India, for example, Bdndl and Pashtu, to written character. The only translation opening up to us the Sacred Books of the Sikhs we owe to a missionary, Dr. Trumpp. To the missionaries, and to them alone, we owe the movement in favor of female education ; and the remarks in the last Education Report of the Punjab, and the review thereof, show how efficient are the mission female schools, and how highly the labors of the missionaries are appreciated by the government." —The costliest thing in this world is sin. It costs purity of conscience, peace of mind and the favor of God ; at the last it will cost the loss of heaven. The single sin of grieving away the Divine Spirit when he was striving with his love has cast myriads their everlasting perdition. T. L.

The body was taken for interment to the Nuuanu Valley cemetery where the services were conducted by the Rev. Alexander Mackintosh, a friend of the family for many years. Mr. Armstrong and his children and also the only sister, Mrs. Emma Peck Bonnev of Hadley, Mass, have the general sympathy in this unforeseen and sore affliction. —Mission work among the Chinese in Denver began, says the Journal and Messenger, in 1847, but one man being found witling to receive instruction.

Evidently Lazarus had a more blessed experience, and Christ and His Apostle a brighter anticipation than the extinction or soul-sleep of the Seventh-day Adventists. c, of W., one of the —Little M brightest and sweetest girls on the islands, is a great lover of mangoes. At the beginning of the mango season it was noticed that every morning she had a plentiful supply of this golden fruit in her possession, but whether to explain the mystery on the principle of the early bird or attribute her good fortune to some kind interference of Providence, remained an open question. One evening however, the problem was solved. c to her sister <ij_) c," said M three years older than herself, "do you pray God to let the ripe mangoes fall c, a little down?" "No," said D abashed at her own shortcomings, "do c, "I you?"

But both inspiration and human experience have settled the fact that men need one day In seven for rest and relaxation, and it is in the province of the legislators to ensure to each man in the community this privilege.

Hunting, the able and popular pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Kalamazoo, Mich., recently started a entitled Our monthly publication Church for the benefit of his congregation. Should the reader ask what this has to do with our vacation, we reply: Nothing. Yet there must somewhere be a connecting link, or the above would probably not have been written, at least not where it appears. The link is this: In the August number Bno. Hunting says: We are a little in doubt as to whether we have earned a vacation, but the people tell us we ought to have a fewweeks of rest, and so God willing, we are going for an outing. We have a feeling that it is a selfish sort of thing to go off and leave so many of you here at home, but perhaps we can do better for you, after a little release from the routine of life, and so you may be the gainers in the end. We expect to find new material for sermons and prayer meeting talks, and new vigor for pastoral work while we ramble in the woods, or lounge by the lake side and we hope to come back to you with a large iucrease ot physical and mental capital." Our people here also intimated that we ought to take a rest and the Trustees very kindly allowed us such time us we should need for a visit to the Australian Colonies. But ascertainingsubsequentl.y that tnc trip would demand eleven weeks and being on the point of erecting a new Church edifice we postponed this contemplated voyage till a more convenient time. As a substitute we accepted a cordial invitation from Mrs. Adelia Cornwell to spend a few weeks at her home on Maui and at this hospitable and beautiful mansion Mrs. Out;el and the writer enjoyed through the month of July generous hospitality, delightfully cool weather, pleasant social intercourse and rest. Shortly after our arrival we accepted an Invitation from Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Walsh to visit them at Paia and had the pleasure to be present at a reception given at their home in honor of Mr. W. H. Laws and his bride. It was a happy thought and characteristic of the people on these Islands to make one who had left home, kindred and the advantages of a large American city behind, feel that " kbft Iliad couo among (riuud*. About Sabbath ministrations and the people listened to our message as if they were indeed hungry for the Bread of life. After the third Suixlay, the Rev. Arthur D. BtWBLL) the expected pastor, and wife arrived. Mr. BUUU is still young In years and his biography brief; yet, though brief, by no means devoid of interest. He was Ixim in India; educated at Amherst College and for five years at Vale Divinity School; then went to India as missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. ; after eight months there he was sent back on account of Mrs. Bissell's ill health and after spending some months in the States received a call to the Foreign church at Wailuku. Mrs. Bissell is the daughter of an old resident of Maui, known doubtless to many of our readers, Mr. M. M. Gower, who however left the Islands in 1870. As to the Wailuku church, the Rev. S. E. Bishop, who acted as Scribe at the organization of the church reports this, in the February number of The Friend, 1808, to have taken place on January 15th of that year. From this report we learn that the original name was "The Union Protestant Church," a very good name for a church with the Protestant left out. A few days after the arrival of the pastor and his wife a reception was given them and us at the residence of Mil. and Mrs. Lowrie, at Kahalui. A special train was kindly placed at the disposal of all who desired to be present. And it appeared that wiien they congregated from Waikitpu at one end and Spreckelsville at the other, the house was soon filled with pleasant people and the evening made so enjoyable to us, and indeed to all present, that it will ever have a place in our remembrance. One word more about Bro. Bissell. The last Sunday of our stay was for him the first one in his present field. His sermon as to matter and method was the bread of life offered ova plate of gold. .Some people always want it served In that way.

On Lord's Day, July 4th, the pastor spoke on Spiritual Freedom; the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was celebrated and three persons were received by letter Into public fellowshfp. During the absence of the pastor from July 6th until August 7th the pulpit was supplied on July 11th in the morning by Rev. C. M. Hyde, d. d. In the evening the congregation united with the Fort St. church to hear the Rev. R. Lechler of the Basel Mission in China. On the 18th Rev. S. E. Bishop officiated in the morning; and in the evening Dr. E. M. Pease lectured on Mission work in Micronesia On the 25th the Rev. A. D. Bissell preached in the morning and Secretary S. D. Fuller conducted the evening service. On the Ist of August Rev. A. O. Forbes led the morning and Bro. S. D. Fuller the evening service. The pastor and wife returned from Maui, August 7th, and on the day following the pastor preached, morning On the day of our and evening. return to Honolulu, the United States mail brought a very kind letter from Washthe Hon. J. Mott Smith, ington, D. C, a member of our church. We take the liberty to quote a few lines : « So the old Bethel building has become a memory like its former and devoted pastor, my life-long triend Dr. Damon. I sympathize with your desire and effort to perpetuate its name and usefulness and will therefore add my name to its members and friends in the proposed reconstruction as indicated in your letter." Dr. Smith's letter was accompanied by a contribution of one thousand dollars, for which the generous donor will please accept our thanks. On the evening of the 13th a letter of dismissal was granted to the member, Geo. L. Bates, in order that he may unite with a church of his choice in Chicago. Bro. Bates has given himself to the Gospel ministry and will enter on his theological studies in that city this month. Two meetings of the Trustees were held during the month at the residence of Hon. J. O. Carter, for the purpose of di-posing of the old Bethel Church site and to secure a suitable lot for the location of the new edifice. To this matter the attention of the congregation will be besought at an early date. We miss in our Sunday school the familiar faces of Miss Charlotte A. Carter, Mr. J. O. Carter, Jr., and Mr. Maurice Beckwith who have exchanged their island homes for a stay of a year or more in the East. We also regret the departure of Miss Helen Lewis to Hawaii. We hope to welcome back among us this month Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lewers and daughter from the States; Mr. A. L. Smith and Miss May Dillingham from Maul, and other Members and. friends of the church.

John Diell, who preceded Dr. Damon as Chaplain for sea-men at this port. and doubtless at leisure moments draw as many caricatures as boys with sharper pencils. The only advantage they at tirst enjoyed over the boys in native schools was in methods of teaching. The Hindu schools at that time laid great stress on noise; the quiet pupil was in imminent peril of a rap (of the knuckles or something harder) on his shaven pate from an irate teacher, while he who loudly and persistently conned his lesson was pretty sure of favor. Any boy, young or old, can at once see what a grand chance that gave to fool the teacher,—to pretend to be learning something, to be bright and smart, while In reality you are just as ignorant and stupid aa ever. The missionaries of course made sweeping and revolutionary changes; they abolished from the school all noise that was strictly necessary, and actually undertook to give the boys a little Information. The aim was to open the eyes of those poor creatures, and if possible win them to Christ and set them to teaching other boys. And that aim haa been steadily adhered to amid all subsequent changes. The result is that at present the mission employs a large number of native young men, graduates of the schools and Christians, in teaching small schools in the numerous villages that dot that part of the Bombay Presidency. Accommodations are often not much better, but as a rule the boys can have the use of slates and books, while the teachers are trained to profitable methods of instruction. In these litt'e schools, the low caste boys (who are virtually though not legally excluded from Government schools) learn the rudiments up to the third or fourth Government standard. The inspector appointed by Government visits these schools, and draws up a report of progress and efficiency; whereupon if the report is favorable, Government makes a "grant In aid," to help maintain the work. : EDUCATION IN INDIA. BY REV. ARTHUR D. BISSELL. I. Readers of The Friend may be interested to know something of educational work as carried on by the oldest mission of the American Board, the Maratha Mission at Ahmednagar, India. Tae tlrst missionaries found it difficult to obtain any scholars, even from the paupers who had consented to listen to preaching for the consideration of a farthing or so per day. At last a few were persuaded to come more or less regularly,—boys only; for girls could Jno more be taught to read than donkeys, at least so said the Hindus when asked to send their daughters. The boys were accommodated in rather sorry quarters, though better than to. A many of them were roof of thatch or tiles held aslant against the city wall by means of posts at the corners, a floor nicely washed over with mud and then dried, for seats the floor, for slates boards smoothly overlaid with fine sand, for pencils their own fingers, —such was the style In which they began their education. With those crude tools they could learn the rudupeuts; Wailuku, Maui. FIRST HYMN OF ISAAC WATTS. Watts wa.s but a youth when he wrote his first hymn. He was visiting his father, and had worshipped one Sabbath morning at the little Independent chapel it 8 luthampton. On his way home he complained of the crude, uncouth psalms they had to sing. '«Don't complain unless you can write better, said the deacon. "If I can write better, will you sing them ?" A promise was made, and the next Sabbath they sang from manuscript the ({lories of tbe Limb " Behold Aiuid Hie Father's throne ; Prepare new honors for tiis name, An i songs before unknown." Other hymns were soon prep tred, and these "songs before unknowu" awakened new interest and infused new life into the psalmody of the churches. Mr. Watts sent copies of the hymns to Dr. Cotton Mather, and in 1741 the book was published in America. Watts wrote six hundred and ninety-seven hymns. He wrote two-fifths of the hyinna used by the English-speaking world. —Stand- ard. �EDUCATION. We Invite trie co-operation of teacher*, and of all friend* of education.

There are a few principles in the multiplication of numbers which may bo of great service to business men, and hence worth the teaching to our young men before they leave school. If any young man will give attention to these principles as they appear in The Friend, I promise him perfect satisfaction, as the tradesmen say. Any that can learn common arithmetic can practice these principles to advantage. 1. To find the product of any two numbers betwen 10 and 20, multiply the units' figures together and write in the product as units the right-hand figure ol toe product thus obtained, and add to the sum of the units' figures the lefthand figure of the product, and write the right-hand figure of the sum for the tens' figure of the product, and finally to the product of tens' figures of the multiplicand and multiplier, add the left-hand figure of the sum for the hundreds' figure of tho product. Example—lBxl9=342. Explanation—Bx9 72. Write the 2 for the units' figure of the product. 8+ 9 + 7=24. Write the 4 for the tens' figure of the product. IXI =1; I+2 3.

Write the 7 for the tens' figure of the product. IXI =1; 1 + 1=2.. Write the 2 for the hundreds' figure of the product. We have 272, Ans. = = = 18x13= 169 18x14= 13x15= 13x16= 13x17= 13x18= 13x19= 14X14= EXAMPLES. 14x15= 14x16= 14x17= 14x18= 14x19= 15x15= 15x16= 15x17= 15x18= 15x19= 16x16 = 16x17= 16x18= 16x19= 17x17= etc. 2. The product of any two numbers of two figures each, when the unit figure in each is 1, may be found by writing in the decimal order the unit figure 1, for the unit figure of the product, the sum of the tens for the tens' figure of the product, and the product of the tens for the hundreds of the product Thus: 91 x7l =6461. Explanation—lxl =1- Write the 1 for the unit of the product. 9 + 7=16. Write the 6 for the tens' figure of the product 9x7 + 1 =64. Write the 64 for the hundreds of the product.

It is thought that they will be still more interesting, and quite useful as a time and labor saving device. It is desirable that all the principles be filed away for reference and examination when the entire work on multiplication is finished. KINDNESS IN SCHOOL. The world has yet to learn the power of kindness. It is to the teacher the philosopher's stone—a real existence without the aid of alchemy. It disinns malice, conciliates an adversary, soothes discontent, makes an advocate or champion of every pupil, and carries to each family circle an influence which secures golden opinions and troops of friends. What the lever ot Archimedes was to mechanics, this is in morals and social life. That could move the material world; this is able to move the social and spiritual. This, however, has the advantage of that, as the place to stand upon is already found—it is the nature of a human being. I would affectionately commend the following lines to the attention of my brother teachers: for Kindness speaks " BeAkind, language quite her owu ; The charms she hath, the good she seeks, To all mankind are known. The rudest sivage feels her sway— She rules the most refined, And seems in pleading tones to aay, Who'er thou art, be kind." Be kind, if love sbonld dwell VVnerever man is funud ; It should in beauty most excel Where Cnristiaus most abound. Reciprocated kindness there With every graoe combined, Should set the world example fair, And teach it to be kind. Be kind. The gentlerain, The bright and glorious sun, And every souroe wheuoe good we gain, Are kept by Ood from none. Bat both the evil mid the just," " " By goodness undefined, Alike are blest. Then, if ye trust In God, ye should be kind. Be kind to every friend ; This friendship's self demands ; Be kind to foes who sore offend, For this your Lord commands. Let not the Christian cause through you Be weakened or maligned: In all ye say, in all ye do, Be courteous—be kind. Be kind to erring ones; The best of men aver, That he who most pollution shuns Feels most for those who arr. There is no human will so strong That cannot kindness bind ; Jostioe mast punish what is wrong, Yet Justice oan be kind. Be kind. If you are rioh. Ye need indeed to care ; For Ood hath given wealth of whioh Tbi poor should have share. • Ye iiinv be bountiful, hat yet To charity be blind ; Ye ni iy give freely, bat forget Ye also shoald be kind.

Then cultivate n generous mind— Live peace ably with all mankind, And those, at death ye leave behind, Will bless your memory, and—be kind." " DRUNKENNESS. —" Drunkenness," says Raskin, << is not only the cause of crime, but it is crime" and if any encourage drunkenness for the sake of the profit derived from the sale of drink, they are guilty of a form of moral assassination as criminal as any that has ever been practiced by the bravos of any country or of any age." Eromanga.—The Presbyterian Record of Canada publishes a letter from Rev. H. R. Robertson, who has just resumed work on Eromanga which he began thirteen years ago. On his return he was welcomed with the greatest cordiality by the people. Day after" day for a whole week the natives gathered to welcome him back. Some women actually carried their infants over the island twenty miles to meet the returned missionary. A present of a ton and a half of large yams and twelve bogs was made to him. Thirty-seven candidates were baptized, and on June 28 not less than 179 church members sat down together at the Lord's table. Six hundred and ten natives were present at the services, which were held close by the large rock upon which the body of the missionary John Williams was laid after his murder. Mr. Robertson speaks with greatest satisfaction of the condition of things on the islands.— Missionary Heratd. �board Hawaiian HONOLULU, » H. I.

The Evangelical Association of the island of Hawaii held its semi-annual meeting this time at Hilo, beginning its sessions on Thursday, August 12th, and closing them on Tuesday the 17th. There were in attendance the Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, all the pastors of the churches on the island except three who were prevented from ominjr either by sickness or absence from the island, and one delegate from each church. The sessions were busy, harmonious, and profitable. Reports for the past six months were read from the various churches, among which was a report from the venerable Father Lyons of the church at Waimea, in which he mentioned his increasing infirmity of body, and requested the Association to make some arrangement to relieve him of the burden of bis church work. Much sympathy was expressed for him, and the Rev. D. Kapali, a former missionary to the Marshall Islands, but now resident at Kohnla, was assigned to assist in the care of the Waimea Church until the next meeting of the Association. Essays wore next read on subjects or portions of Scripture which bad been assigned to the pastors at the previous meeting. This exercise is found to be valuable as a means of stimulating thought and adding to the interest of the meetings, as each essay is criticised by the members, and often opens up an interesting and valuable discussion on some practical or doctrinal point. The needs of the churches were considered, and arrangements made for the supply of those without pastors during the next six months. The subjects of Foreign and Home Missions were brought before the body. Also that of the Theological School at Honolulu. Thursday and Friday were thus occupied exclusively, and Saturday was devoted entirely to the exhibition of the Sunday Schools. The exercises consisted almost entirely of Scripture recitations and the singing of appropriate hymns, and we were pleased to note the entire absence of attempts at comic or dramatic performances, or Inappropriate songs, such as have in years gone by disgraced some such occasions. On the contrary, everything was appropriate and befitting such an occasion. The exercises were honored by the interested presence of Her Royal Highness, Princess Liliuokalani, and greatly aided by the assistance of Mr. Berger and his band, who played three of the hymns while the whole audience joined in a volume of song that was truly inspiriting. The total number of Sunday School tbe silver was soon precipitated—a sharplcss mass indeed, but every grain there.

Pentecost. scholars who took part was 183, of whom the jar, and were connected with the Hilo Sunday School and the rest represented ten different Sunday Schools from the other districts of the island. The exhibition began at in o'clock a. m., and lasted till half-past five p. m., with the exception of an intermission of an hour at noon, when all partook of a feast which the good people of Hilo had provided in an immense shed outside of the church. The Princess bad provided a prize of a beautiful silver flagon and cup for the school which should be adjudged to have excelled. The prize was neatly inscribed on the outside, in Hawaiian (if) "NO KE KULA BABATI I LANAKILA. NA 1886." At the close of the exhibition, the prize was awarded to the school from Kalapana, under the leadership of Hon. J. W. Kauwila, the lately defeated candidate for Representative. All were agreed that this school fully deserved the prize. On Monday forenoon, the Association was again in session, and the afternoon was devoteii lo the sessions of the Sunday School Association, which is regularly organized witli its constitution, officers, and members representing the different Sunday Schools of the island, and which always meets at the same time and place as the Evangelical Association. Tuesday forenoon, the Evangelical Association finished up its work, and adjourned to meet next March at Waiohinu LILIUOKALANI. HILO, AUG. 14, in Kati. BUSINESS AND RELIGION. A wealthy, irreligious, shrewd business man in Illinois was approached by a member of the church of Christ for a subscription towards building a meetinghouse. He cheerfully put down his name for two hundred dollars, and then remarked, "I give that as a good business investment. I would rather give two hundred dollars every year than not to have the gospel preached in this community." How is that ?" he was asked. You do not pay any heed to the gospel. Why are you interested in having it preached ?" "O," he replied, "I live here with my family, and my property is around here; without the infliieuoe of Christianity the condition of society would soon become such that neither property nor life would be safe. I would not be willing to live in any community where the gospel was not preached !" These views of a hard-headed man of the world are confirmed by all experience. Christianity is the salt of the earth. Only the utterly abandoned would be content to live where its influence had ceased to be felt " " TRANSFORMATION. One of Faraday's workmen by accident dropped a little highly-valued silver cup into a strong acid bath. In a little while it had utterly disappeared.

The regular monthly meeting for August was omitted in accordance with action taken by the Board of Directors at their last meeting. Gen. Sec. S. D. Fuller is searching for lost sheep upon the slopes of Haleakala. At least he is one of a party who are spending their vacation at Olinda, Maui. Our President, Mr. W. A. Bowen, for the past few weeks confined to his home by sickness, litis again made his appearance upon the street. His friends hope soon to welcome him back to his accustomed places and duties. Notwithstanding that so few people are in town at present, the Sunday afternoon meetings have been continued, and members who are able to attend should endeavor to do so, particularly those who are on the Committee on Devotional Work. Of the pledge cards sent to members some time ago, there are still some which have not been returned. It is owing probably to oversight in some number of cases on the part of those who received them, but the Treasurer will be glad to have them filled up and sent to him soon. Topics for the Sunday afternoon meetings for the month will be as follows : September 5.—" Wise Counsel to a Young Man." Prov. 1: 7t019 ; 2 Tim. 4 : 14 and 16. Sept. 12.—" To Reject Christ is to Rob Ood." Luke 20: 9to 19; John Ii 11 and 12. Sept. 19.— Soul-hunger Satisfied." Matt. 5:6; John 6: 47 to 58. Sept. 26. —"Approving the Right; Doing the Wrong." Rom. 2 : 17 to 29; Acts 24 : 24 to 27. Young Men.—Read more good books; get the mud out of your brain. Let Christclean out those bad tenants in your heart—evil thoughts, wrong desires and wicked lusts. Then tone up your physical nature with some good walks or ex ercise in the gymnasium ; getaway from these leprous fellows, and keep good company ; throw away the cigarette, for physicians say it is worse than bad whisky ; get up in time to go to Church Sunday morning, you will rest there more than in bed—in fact, swing clean around into the sunlight of a new life. " �THE GOSPEL OFFER. BY REV. JAMES BICKNELL. Ho, every one tbat thiratetb, oome ye to the waters, and he tbat bath do money; oowe ye, boy and •at; yea, oome, oay wine and milk without money and without prioe. Isaiah M: 1. Here is wine of richer flavor and choicer quality than ever Oporto or Champagne produced. It Is manufactured in the garden of the Lord and is a comA variety of gropes are used in the manufacture. There is the love grape, the joy grape, the peace grape, the lung-suffering grape, the faith grape, the meekness and the temperance grapes. The whole constitute a beverage that is a cordial for every wound of the soul of man—a solace for every woe. Who will come and drink ? Behold how It sparkles in the cup 1 What a fragrance Is in it, excelling the odors of Gilead 1 The grapes which compose it are planted in the summer house of mercy, and watered from a fountain which flows from the summit of Mount pound. Calvary. Volume 44, No. 9 THE FRIEND. 10 Though obtained at great cost and expense, the owner of the wine graciously asks nothing for drinking. All he requires Is, that you acknowledge and feel your need of it. When a petition is presented for a draught, the Owner replies, <• According to your faith be it unto you." It the petitioner be well stocked with faith, he will receive a full supply of the wine. And if he wishes to carry some of it home with him for future use, he must be in possession of the faith container, for no other will hold it. This wine possesses medicinal properties which are very remarkable. For chronic diseases such as evil-heart, blackheart and vile-heart, it is a sovereign remedy. Imbibed in large quantities, it Is a foe to melancholy. And when condensed and made into pills, it is efflcatious in cases of dyspepsia. Multitudes of dyspeptic souls that went about- crying, M Who will show us any good ?" by taking these pills, have had their organs of digestion restored to soundness, and an edge put to their appetites as if by miracle—so powerful is the wine in its operation. I might mention many more of its medicinal properties, but your own thoughts will suggest them to you. It remains to relate a case in which the curative properties of the wine were strikingly exhibited. The case is that of a Mr. Saul, who lived In the first century and was afflicted with jaundice. The nature of his disease led him to view things In a wrong light, it put an evil aspect to the doings of some of his neighbors; and being a zealous man in his views, he thought it his duly to try and reform these neighbors of his. But the manner in which he started upon his career of reformation was a novel one. It was by <* breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord; by making havoc of the Church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison." (How would such a reformer suit our times ?) In the midst, however, of his reforming zeal, Mr. Saul trot a drink of the wine, and the jaundice all left him; he saw things in their true light, and set about reforming upon another principle. Another property of this wine is, that it informs the judgment, and enlightens the understanding. There is a case mentioned of a young gentleman who was self-willed, and proud withal. He thought, that by setting up for himself, he would make a greater show in the world, than by remaining in his father's house. So he asked his father for his portion of goods, and having received it, he set out to make his fortune; but he did not succeed in his expectations; he soon became bankrupt, losing all his property. In his destitution, he providentially obtained a draught of the wine whose praises we are sounding, enabling him to perceive that the course which he bad taken in leaving his father's house, was wholly wrong. His judgment being informed, as well as his mind enlightened by the draught, he decided that the best thing he could do now would be to return to his father's house. As he thought, so it proved, he met with a kind reception on his return home. This wine hasalso cleansing properties. An extraordinary instance of its power to cleanse is the case of Mr. John Newton, a native of England. He was a very profane man; so much so, indeed, that he was styled the African Blasphemer." Well, in the course of his blasphemies, it occurred that he took a pretty copious draught of the wine; and it is related that it washed the oaths completely out of his mouth, so tbat, for ever afterwards, he lived quite a decent gentleman. Being engaged, at the time, in the slave trade, the wine cleansed him of that filthiness as well. Multitudes who have had their hearts frozen in the ice of selfishness, have been recuscitated by this wine. Some who were home bound have had their home ties sundered, and they have been sent abroad on an errand of benefaction to mankind in general. A virtue none the less estimable for its negative quality, is the power wnich this wine possesses of blinding the eyes to the faults and misdeeds of our neighbors, so that instead of denouncing them before the world, we go to them and help them mend their errors. If men were only filled with this wine, a great many of the idle tales passing to and fro, would never be heard. The peace of families would be preserved; slander, and talebearing, and backbiting, and censoriousness, would all be put down; and there would be a glorious time. Language fails to impart a just conception of the goodness of this wine. I therefore invite you all to taste of it; then you can Judge for yourselves. You are anxious, perhaps, by this time, to hear the name of the cup from which the wine is drunk. Well, the name of it is, the Cup of Free Grace. This you might easily have guessed from " . the text which says, "Come, buy wine und milk, without money and without price." The Cup of Free Grace is unique. It is divided into two compartments; one contains wine (or exhilerating, medicinal and cleansing purposes; the other contains milk for nourishment The world is a hospital, and all men are patients. In providing the Cup of Free Grace with two compartments, we behold thewisdom of the great Physician who has charge of the hospital; the wine is to restore the sick to health, and the milk to nourish them after they become convalescent. Did the Cup of Free Grace contain wine only, there would be room to suppose that patients would famish. It would be no mercy to cure a man of his maladies, and then leave him to perish of hunger. The Cup of Free Grace provides against such a catastrophe. Therefore it becomes us all to bow down, and adore the wisdom which contrived it EXPLICATION. The words of the text are an invitation from the Lord Jesus Christ to sinners, to come and partake of the provisions of the Gospel, which provisions are life and salvation. The invitation U general in one sense, and particular in another. It is general, inasmuch as it is extended to all mankind. «*Hu, everyone, come ye to the waters.' It is particular in the sense that it is available to the thirsty soul only, "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters." The invitation specifically is to the weary and heavy ladened sinner; to the man who, having come to a knowledge of his true burdened with the weight of sins, thirsts after a righteousness that shall deliver him from the plague of his own heart. To him are the glad tidings announced, that Jesus is able to meet all the necessities of his case, that he stands ready with the might of his Spirit to draw him from the miry clay" and to plant his feet upon the lasting foundation of the Rock of 1 " Ages. Honolulu. H. I. THE WOMAN'S BOARD. The August meeting of the Woman's Board was held at the usual time and place. Twenty-five ladies were present, a full attendance for this season of the year. Mrs. S. N. Castle read an interesting and instructive paper on the life and work of Francis Xavier. Miss nhattuck from Mt. Holyoke Seminary, was present, and addressed the Society, giving some account of the work for missions in the school; also of the schools in South Africa that are modeled after Mt. Hob'oke.

The oacasion of this theological ferment wis tin- fact that Dr. Wiiodrow of the Theological Saminary, at Columbia, ,S. C, taught lo his class-room that, while it has not yet been clearly demonstrated by scientists, yet suffi.-icut well ascertained facts have been made known to render it probable that God created the universe by a proa-ess of Evolution, and that it is also probable man's animal na- ture was produced by the same process. The supporting Presbyteries made haste to demand Dr. WOODROW'S dismission. The trustees of the Seminary yielded to the demand; but Dr. Woourow refused to leave the Seminary under censure without trial. The ease was taken up by the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly, and that body gave to the World this amazing, extra-scriptural, medinvel decision : l'n it tie Siri.auivs trach that Adam and Ei-e were created, bo ly and soul, by immediate set. of div: ie a "-ver, n u 1 that A Jam's bo ly .v is fashioned by •} id without any natural animal parentage ol any kind, oat of matter previously created from nothing. And the Assembly earnestly recommended by a vote of 88 to -'>, that the four synods having control of the Seminary dismiss Dr. Woodrow. The Hoard of Trustee-, complied, and Dr. Woodrow was dismissed, thusbeing virtually condemned of heresy by hi*Oenend Assembly by indirection" and without trial ! But the end is not yet. Charges of heresy were preferred against Dr. Woodrow in his own Presbytery, that of Augusta, Ga., for maintaing the doctrine of Evolution as applied to the animal man." Dr. Woodrow was acquitted by a vote of 13 to 9. The Presbytery of Augusta, by a vote of 12 to », protesterl against the action ot the General Assembly in attempting to exercise by indirection, authority in the ease by passing a resolution condemning the position of Dr. Woodrow before the case had properly come before the Assembly. The case will now " " Number 10. HONOLULU, H. I„ OCTOBER, 1886. Volume 44. probably be regularly appealed until it reaches the General Assembly. We believe that science will yet demonstrate the truth ot a theory of evolution. We do not believe that Christianity lias anything to fear from scientific progress. She has much more reason to fear the effect of such dogmatic, extrascriptural deliverances as that quoted above by that very conservative body of divines. Professor Dana of Vale, in opening a course of lectures on Involution in December last, said : vast and as y t undefined duration, shared with the in mi.ii.it i, the woolly rhinoceros, and exiiuot llut if, with many writers, we term the beings of Ibis rice the precursors of man, and restrict the name of man to the members of the animals, spe iking rice that f.dlowe I them, then the first appearance of man, properly so styled, must be d'.ie.l at about the lane t which it was described before the discoveries of Boucher dc Perthes had startled the civilized world; that is, somewhere between six and leu thousand .years map.

They reported that they had been fiftytwo days and nights in an open boat out on the ocean. The wrecked vessel left Sydney, NewSouth Wades, on the 7th of June last. On the loth of July, near midnight, she ran ashore on Ocean Island. On the 24th of July it was determined to send a boat's crew to seek assistance. HENRY Norman, first mate, and six sailors left the island in a lifeboat, taking with them twenty-eight days provisions and water. By constantly reducing their daily allowance they subsisted on this for fifty-two days. On Sunday morning, Sept. J2th, the distressed and ajmost starved seamen came in sight of the Island of Kauai, and shortly tbeieafter were rescued by the James Makee. Twenty-two of the party, left on Ocean Island, consisted of Captain H. A. Martin, the second and third mates, fifteen able-bodied seamen and four boys.

Dawson and Dana in America, and Lot/.i:, Hamilton, Dr. CabPKVTER, Hi-xmuoltz, and the late CUCBK Maxwkll in the old world. More and more the best scientitia thought of tin- day is coming into h.iriuoiiv with the best religious thought of the day. It is no longer materialistic: it is, if not in all cases tbeistic, at least not antagonistic to revealed religion. As an instance: One of the strong arguments against the Scriptures has been the supposed antiquity of mail. But here the best scientific thought of the day is in harmony with the Scriptures. At the last meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Dr. Hortio Hale, Vice-President of the Aulhropologicalsection, read a paper on the "Origin of Languages and the Antiquity of Speaking Man." His conclusions were summed up as follows: We tiud that the ideas of the antiquity of man �4 perhaps be saved. Arrangements to this effect were made at once and on the 14th the steamer Witinlenlr left this port for Ocean Island. From an interview with the men at the llomi* we learn that before they left their companions a quantity of fish had been caught from the sea and that turtles abound on the Island, but that the great danger which threatened them was the want of water. We await the return of the Wuialeale with interest and anxiety. Before we go t,o press we are able to add that the Waialeale returned to this port on the 29th ult., bringing the news that a paper had been left behind on Ocean Island by ('apt. 11. A. .Martin stating that he and his men had been rescued by the ship Birnam Wood and taken to Valpariso; mid that at the time of departure the crew were all well. HON. H. A. P. CARTER. During tin-month just past Honolulu has been honored with a visit from his excellency, the Hon. 11. A. P. Carter, Hawaiian Minister at Washington. During his slay among us Mr. Carter has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. P. ('. Jones, who on the evening of the 23rd gave a reception to the Minister which was largely attended. On this occasion the Hon. (has. R. Bisnoi», in behall of tinChamber of Commerce, presented Mr. Carter a substantial gift in silver whose value Is $1000. Mr. Bishop, in the remarks which accompanied the gift, said that the Minister was held in highest esteem by the business men of Honolulu and of the Islands and that they should ever appreciate the Minister's labors at Washington for the promotion of Hawaiian interests. Minister Carter responded, saying tiiat lie greatly valued the esteem of the business men and the people of these islands and that during his further stay at the American capital as Hawaii's representative lie would do whatever was in his power for the advancement of the material interests of the Hawaiian Kingdom and people. It is perhaps needless to add, Unit every day of his stay among us Mr Tauter has been entertained in official and social circles, all classes taking delight in doing him honor. And we cannot refrain from adding, because it has afforded us genuine pleasure, that the Minister was seen not only in the social gatherings but that his presence grew familiar to us at the services of the sanctuary and in our weekly prayer and prai.-e meetings, it was refreshing and helpful to have this man, of exalted ohVial position and distinguished experience at the Courts of Europe, mingle with the multitude in the worship of God. We have found in him not alone the educated intellect, the charming conversationalist, the cultured man of the world, but also the humble, devout christian. To observe and to come in contact with so rounded, complete and uplifting a character has contirmed our conceptions of the possibilities of manhood.

" " " " * * * Did you ever go into one of these no, canons? One bright morning g we were "one of three" gentlemen who escorted a party of six ladies and two children into Mailko canon. In age the ladies ranged from sweet sixteen to grandmother-hood; in weight from 90 lbs. (Troy) to—well it would not be arise to say how many go»d orthodox avoirdupois pounds. We found a place of easy descent where the walls of the canon were not more than 50 feet in height, and once at the bottom turned our faces down the mountain. In a half mile of distance four precipices, from tdii to twenty feet in height were successfully passed. At last with full fern cases, laden hands, weary limbs, and appetites that begin to sound the cry of the horse-leech, the propriety of a homeward march was suggested. Walls 250 feet, fern-clad, towered on either side of ii.; four precipices wore behind us; there was nothing to do but to go forward—a iw roads only, and we stood on the brink of a precipice forty feet in height! Of the skilful engineering of a Y. M. C A. Secretary, by which a way around the precipice, by clinging to shrubs and ferur was found; of the muscular by the displayed Christianity three gentlemen as each member of the party was "passed along the line;" of the long weary climb out of the canon up the steep side; of the utter exhaustion of the party when at last we reached the heights; of the wonderful equestriaiiship displayed by one lady who required three vigorous equerries to keep her in the saddle—are uot all these things fully recorded in the "Olinda Book?"

OUR SUMMER OUTING. The editor of this department was kindly invited to spend his vacation with the senior editor of The Friend and his family, ou the gentle slopes of Huleakala. On tho afternoon of Aug. 10th, we solemnly stepped ou board the steamer Likeleke, with unpleasant forebodings which were all painfully realized before we arrived at Kahului, next morning. As wo landed tho -'big hill" before us looked quite unlike the hiijh mountain we had expected to see; but. instead of starting off for a walk to the summit that day. wo were persuaded to geti nto one of the littlo railroad ears and ride over to Paia. seven miles. From here three miles by carriage road brought us to Grove Kanch, where we received n hearty welcome and spent the night. In the morning, mounted on horseback we started upward, and reached Olinda in tho afternoon. This unique spot,—one of nature's rarest gems, 4,000 feet above the sea, was to be our dwelling place for the next month. Th" party named on the hist page of The Friend for August, with a few additions, were all on the ground, they having preceded us, and a happy, joyous company it was, notwithstanding the "restraining influence" of the senior editor. A few days later we continued our upjourney, and after riding nine miles one afternoon, with a party of sixteen, we finally crime to the actual summiLof Haleaktila, and as we stood looking down upon the valley scene, 10,000 feet below, we con eluded it was indeed a % hill, and felt right glad that the trip up there was not undertake!! on foot the day of our arrival As wo turned our eyes in the onp' .;, vi rection, we looked down 2,000 teet into the crater of the largest extinct volcano in the world. The morning view richly repaid for all the discomfort of the night. Tho opening day was perfect; tho cloud effects and the golden glories of the rising sun constituted a scene of indescribable beauty and grandeur never to be forgotten. After feasting our bodies on the substantial, and our eyes on the sublime, we returned in safety to Olinda. We made many very pleasant acqeaintances among the good people on Maui, for whose kindness and hospitality we shall always feel grateful. It seemed a little primitive to ride five miles on horseback down the mountain to attend church, but this we did each Sun day, and rather enjoyed it. While we climbed the mountain, explored the gulches, indulged in eating fresh figs, genuine old fashioned black berries and lots of other good things, the time passed all too quickly by, and the month was gonealmost before we knew it. But we return to take up our work in the Master's name, with renewed vigor and strength, as the result of one of the most pleasant and helpful vacations we have ward . . ever enjoyed.

" November, 1886. 1 appreciate a Government like the American —one Government and one flag—of, for and by the people. The trouble in Great Britain is that the few own the laud; in Ireland it is that mi much land is worthless. The governmental condition of these countries—England, Germauy, Switzerland, question was that of the integrity of the empire. Grindstone has heen denounced by most of the higher classes. Some claim that he is In sympathy with the Romanists, while others say he Is losing his mind and is incapable of grappling with great questions of government. In one sense il is a light between the classes and the masses, and the masses must eventually win. The Irish question cannot be put aside, it is only u question of time when home-rule must he conceded, not only to Ireland hut also to Wales, and a system of federation in government In- established, not unlike the American. There is it deep feeling among lie,- better classes of England in favor of Irish liberation. The affairs of Europe in general are anything but hopeful. France and (ierm my are w itching each other like prizelighters in the ring, and Prussia is longing for an outlet to the sea. The men of the European countries are in the armies and the universities and the while the women, the cows and tlte dogs are doing the hard work. This is not the case, si least not in so luge »sense, in England, but the Gov* eminent and the Church are forced upon yon tit every step They have built on the external-, rather than upon internal principles, and hence they are burdened and environed b.v form and ceremony. The disestablishment of tin- Church must come, and wilh it disendowment. It may be this issue can be delayed during the lifetime of the Queen, hut not longer. 'Che religious condition of the peoples of Europe is one of formalism, skepticism and open infidelity. In the Catholic cathedrals the services are cold, perfunctory and Indifferent—fur away from rhe hearts and consciences of (he people. There are the burning of incense and of altar fires, the playing of the organ, the ringing of hells and the singing of choirs, mil of thought, Insirui lion, preaching—anything to arouse people—you see or hear nothing. In Westminster Cathedral a twenty minutes' sermon was preached that might have been as well begun ut the end or middle, or anywhere else, so far as any deign of instruction or exhortation could be discerned. In Scotland one can hear excellent discourses, and the Salvation Army of London is doing a noble work by going down among a class of people almost brutalized, and acquiring annzing Influence over them. In all those countries are the great accumulations of the labor, the art and the literature of the past. There is so much of this dead past that the Old World cannot bury it, and hence they still keep it, making their world a vast cemetery rather than a world of free and progressive life. o6r mission to-tlay Is to follow the world's Savior and Leader �in tho ever-unfolding and enlarging visions and possibilities of the great future.

THE SCHOOL AND ITS FOUNDER. BY REV. ELIAB BOND. Hilo Boarding School! Not a great name as the world counts greatness, uot a name th.it has gono forth to the ends of the world or attracted the attention of those in the voted centers of learning and educational enjivprise of the earth, and yet a name familiar and very dear to us of this Island and scarcely less so to the entire group from Kau to Nilhau. The Institution has a warm place not only in the hearts of the more Intelligent and ruling classes In the community, but eminently so in the hearta of tho common people. There have been and still are other and excellent schools on the several islands tun dissimilar to this in their general aim and character, bat no one of them would to day cause a more hearty and signifi- hands in JA£> national Legislature upon a proponsT to vote# pecuniary aid In any time of need than Hilo Boarding School. The growth of the school and its reputation have from the first been steady, uniform, even. No tidal wave of public sentiment has ever born it upon its rest, Juvt to leave it thereafter to a hopeless floundering* in the trough of e_p.icious unpopularity. The growth it has gained Jt has steadily and fully retained. There is much In the recognition of this fact for which to be profoundly grateful to God. An intimate and protracted per. sonar acquaintance with the affairs of the Institution and with its lamented Principal enable me to say that Hilo Boarding School Is the natural outgrow tli of the character of its founder. No institution ever bore In more unmistakable lineaments the impress of.its efficient bead. Steadfast, patient, modest; of rarely excellent Judgment; quiet and even in his methods of discipline ; thoroughly understanding the Hawaiian boy, that is to say universal boy nature; with a large charity, yet a charUjr endowed with two sharp eyes, escape from which was, as his boys well knew, Alt butjbopeless ; having the gift of continuance in duty; and all cemented la one harmonious whole by divine grace, and thoroughly- dominated cant show of �rJtJTBII.kE 2 NOTES. thereby—such was tho Key.

The object of this paper is to mako known to the patrons and friends of Hilo Boarding School that the industrial features of the school are in no wise to be diminished in the future, but rather to bo emphasized. And lo accompH.-h that, friends of the school, your help Is needed. It Is the profound conviction of those who are to have the future conduct of the school that the interests of the boys —and that' means the interests of tho tiawailun Kingdom—would be greatly advanced by the erection of a building suitable for industrial pur|Hises. To those who admit the truth of the foregoing statements the need of such a building seems imperative. You all rejoice in the steady, healthful growth of the school during the fifty years that are gone. You rejoice in its present prosperity. Yet if you discriminate carefully it will be seen that while tho conditions for developing mind and spirit have been improving steadily, the conditions for training the bands have not thus changed for the better. Industrial training demands au industrial building. Tbe manual labor cannot wisely be left to the taro patch. Without an industrial building it is f<-lt that tho best results pceslblecan not be attained by the teachers who are to carry on the work. Is not this now era upon which the school is entering a most fitting occasion for the friends of the school who revere the memory of Father Lyman to raise a monument to his name which shall long recall his service to the cause of Christian, industrial education? and which shall bo a token of your present Interest and an earnest for the future—a monument on which shall be inscribed Lyman Industrial l^ul?"

This money never wan treuted as a receipt and so does not figure in the expenditures for salaries. In so far as the first Principal's salary was paid by the Ameriuftii Board, it did not appear as a school-receipt and hence does not appear in the above amount of expenditures for teachers. The former item would slightly increase the •mount received from ttte Hoardof liducaiion (i. e. the Hawaiian Government); while the latter would considerably illcrease the amount received from the American Hoard. Hy the figures above, it will be noticed that the amount received from pupils and farm products ($18,202.78) is only $211.42 less than the amount expended for food and miscclhtnctms expenses ($15,471.201, thus showing how nearly self-sustaining the school has always been aside from tin; two items of salaries nnd buildings. It is interesting to note aUo that the Hawaiian Government has paid $33,172.73 which is only $1,104.84 less than the amount expended lor salaries, $34,.137.07, thus showing how liberally the school has been fostered by the government and how effectively the revenue from that source has heen turned to the advantage of the Hawaiian public. Again, the amounts received from private and organized bcne\olence ($23,100.72) have been only $077.66 different from the amount expended for building ($22,-689.16), thus showing what an essential fa< tor such aid htus proved In the schodPH history.

These figures are all the more significant in view of the fact that the early students came without clothing, which was furnished them to some extent during the lirst eighteen years of the school nt an actual outlay of $1 ~J07.(i9. amoUJH GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES. W. B. O. As will lie seen by reference to Receipts and Expenditures," the flnaru isl nitl from the llnwnilan Government, latterly through its Board of Education, has proved an important auxiliary in the con-, duct of the school during the Just closed. Without that aid the schodl would have collapsed m its childhoutS The disastrous conflagration of 186M would undoubtedly have .permanently crippled the school, had it not been for the liberality of tho Government, in conjunction with other donors, in enabling 1 the school authorities to erect the large, commodious building, now still standing. To ho sure there was ample obligation on the part of the Government to aid a school through which more was being done for the common schools than through any other agency ; for not only did its early Principal pay the salaries of the teachers in all this region, and supervise the schools, and examine and train teachers at Institutes held seml-annaully, but tlie school itself was thechief nursery for supplying the common schools with trained teachers—teachers so well qualified for their work that they were sought for on the other islands where they maintained a reputation that was alike honorable to them and to their Alma Mater. It was matter of national necessity that Hilo Boarding Scho* I should he amply reinfofced by Government subsidy in the work that fell to it to do. Aud generously and effectively has that aid been applied. Nor has the time come for any cessation of this co-operation on the putt of the Board of Education either in the ne- I cessitles of the case or in the deslrelJeness of such aid viewed from the standpoint, of public welfare. It has always been true that Hilo Boarding School has filled a need that would otherwise have been filled only at a great outlay on tbe " �5 JUBILEE NOTES. Spirt of the Government. Moreover it is ings has hitherto been provided for hy that during the previous thirty-one to add 14 doubtful whether a Government sctiool government subsidy; and the salaries years enough was contributed cent, could have been oj>eruted to greater public advantage or could have served better the progressive policy of the Board of Education. This intimate relation, this mutual service of the school, to the educational development of the Kingdom, '•id of Government aid to the sustenance lo part of this important auxiliary, calls for special emphasis. The school's place among the educational forces of the Kingdom Is seen in the fact that in a total attendance of one thousand and ninety-three, with the exception of twenty-seven, all have come h»m the single island of Hawaii ; while nearly one-half of tbe entire number I—*ro come from the contiguous districts fat Hilo and Puna. Had not Hilo Boarding School been organized and sustained Mthis very important field, the Board of Mucation would have been obliged to aMablish some such school on the Island Of Hawaii or the educational Interests of fllsportion of the Kingdom would have P*Uny suffered. The necessity is as real gjbiyas it ever was, why Hilo Boarding MooPahould be generously fostered by government subsidy. It must always Ptcupy a vital relation to the common hools of tbe great island of Hawaii. Its pMnstrial development is destined to Hark an era in the educational history of R*.lslands. In no more effective way told the higher interests of education jSurtured than by the continuance in df the Government subsidy Wm In the past has made the school such U desirable auxiliary in the. educational Progress of the Hawaiian people. f SCHOOL FUNDS. BY W. B. O. I When the Rev. D. B. Lyman resigned als post as Treasurer in December 1881, i[ac passed over to his successor, Rev. B. Oleson, the sum of $6,451.53. PJm. pals represented the total actual re- sources of the school, and since that Dune has been regarded in the nature of [■permanent fund. It was felt that the Perpetuity of tbe school, under tho (Staged conditions, depended, In large ■■assure, on the suitable endowment of wie institution. Accordingly under the j**w administration the attempt has been ■lade to secure largely through private subscriptions, an additional fund of 110,000, to* bo known as the Lyman kMemorial Fund. Towards this sum, t —Ih payments to the amount of $5000.12 r have been received, and been added to |thc permanent Kinds making those funds 011,611.65 at present yielding an annual of $950.29. This income plays Important part in the successful Administration of the school. But the Veda are insufficient when the actual _eources of the school are considered. three lines of expenditure are for Rfcs Banning expenses, including food supIhesand miscellaneous Items; for repair, VSlUire and care of buildings, and for ■Uries. The former expense is mot by Students' fees; the expense for build- peome »• have been mot by the surplus from these two sources, together with such additional aid as could be secured elsewhere. But it is apparent that a shrinkage in this surplus works to the serious disadvantage of the school, inasmuch as it necessitates an unwise curtailment in tiie amount paid for salaries. It is very desirable, on this and other accounts that the school should be given greater constancy in the work it is seeking to do. That work is altogether too important and necessary for its success to be so largely conditioned on receipts decidedly tluctuating in their nature. Notbiic is more desirable so far as the outlook into the future is concerned than that the school should be given a greater degree of financial stability. Great progress has begn made in this direction in tho Inst five years, and what is being attempted in the lino of a fuller endowment is in the same direction. It is hoped thut the friends of Hawaiian education will continue to render aid in consummating this policy of endowing the school with a larger fund, that, us it steps forward into the work of the next half-century it may do so with a steadiness and nssuni ice that has not fallen to Its lot to show consplcuosly In the last half, century. SCHOOL BENEVOLENCES. BY W. B. O. Tho aim from tbe first has steadily been to teach the boys to give intelligently and willingly to benevolent objects. Primarily this was done for the purpose of developing in them u spirit of helpfulness and of Christian charity. But as will be seen, the effect has been to largely off-set tho aid which the school has received from organized benevolence. Thus since 1867 the annual contributions have aggregated $ 1,6(88.29. This sum L nearly as large as the combined amount received by the school from the Hawaiian Board and the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, viz., $1,710. It is significant to note In thisconnection that only $500 of this htt'.er amount was given in direct aid to the school, toe balance being in aid of wards of the two societies. So that if this $500 be added to the direct aid from the American Board since the organization of the school, vis., $14,(847.21, the amount $15,147.21 represents the total receipts The from organized lienevolence. figures are not available showing the total amount contributed by tho boys during the fifty years. In 1848 It appears by Mr. Lyman's report to the mission that "by extra exertions during tlfelrfew leisure hours, the scholars have raised more than $50 for foreign missions." As will be seen by the figures above, the school-boys during the last nineteen years, have contributed what is equivalent to eleven per cent, of the combined aid received from the American Board aud tho Hawaiian Board. It is entirely within bounds to conclude above, so per cent, to the 11 per that it Is likely that the voluntary contributions of the school-boys have amounted to twenty-five per cent, of the aid received from the two sources mentioned. This Is significant in thut it affords concrete Illustration of the principle thut missionary alii wisely applied Is reproductive In its nature. The missionary workers who have gone forth (rom this school were produced In an atmosphere of Intelligent and prayerful giving. Tho men followed the gift.s. As we look into the future and think of what may be Increasingly expected from this institution in the life of missionary Interest and suppport, as well as In tho development of a Christian munline«s that shall make Itself felt In every Island pursuit, who will gainsay the wisdom that planted this school or begrudge the missionary money that has exemplified in this particular instance the truth of that paradox In Proverbs, "There is. that scattereth, and yet increaseth." THE SCHOOL BUILDING. BY DR. C. H. WETNORE. In the year 1830, Just after tho Hawaiian common schools had been "partially or wholly suspended from lack of competent teachers, and the scholars having become tired of monotonous repetition," the missionary .fathers "believed that about all the good had been accomplished from such resources as could well be expected until more highly qualified teachers could be furnished." Accordingly, at their general meeting of that year, they "authorized Bey. Messrs. Lyman and Coan to establish a boarding school for boys at Hilo station." "In less than two months" after their return from Honolulu "two native houses" were erected in the yard now belonging to Dr. Chas. H. Wetmore, directly mauka of his dwelling-house, at an expense of about one hundred and forty dollars. These building were occupied four years. In the meantime the attendance having increased from eight to sixty-five pupils, tiie interest in the school, also, being much greater among the people, and tho fl -H ■•• under cultivation becoming necessarily much enlarged, it was decided to change the location of the school buildings. Two new one-and-u-half story houses were completed in 1840. They were located on the 1 lamukuu side of the late Rev. D. B. Lyman's house, which was built about the same time. They were neat thatched buildings, with substantial wooden floors, desks, etc. They lusted until destroyed by fire in(Tfbvember 1853. Their original cost was about $700. A temporary building was immediately provided for carrying on the school, being located a little mauka of the charred timbers and debris of the old houses. The old Puueo meeting-house was purchased and converted into a dining-room for the school, and later was moved �6 JUBILEE NOTES. mauka and changed into a cook house. Plans for the present substantial school building, with school-room below and dormitories above were early made with special efforts to guard against conflagration. Mr. Fuller, tho Secretary of tho Board of Educttlon drew the plan, Which was accepted with scarcely any modification. The zinc-roofed building was compleled early Jn 1850 "on an eligible site of about forty acres previously furnished by the Hawaiian Government." The building cost $7500 of Which $1000 came from the Hawaiian Government, $2000 from the A. B. C. Y. M. and $1500 from Churches and individuals at the Islands. The refectory in the basement was shaken out by the fearful earthquake of 1808. A new dining house was. erected soon after whero the present Dining Hall now stands. The building known ns the Hospital was badly shaken by tho earthquake and it was necessary to make it over into its present form. In W7B it was moved to its present location where it is temporarily used as a work-shop for the carpentry department. The Principal's house, towards which Rev. E. Bond contributed $1000, was erected in 1879 at a cost alxmt $2200. In 1883 the iron cook house and bath house were built at a total cost of $500. The Recitation Building was built in 1884 at n cost of a little over $1000. Tho Dining Hall is our Jubilee building having been built the current year at a cost of $11100. ALpresent the tailoring department is located in the upper story. The total original cost of the buildings' has been about $13500, while it has required about $9000 to keep them in repairs and to make such alterations in them as new conditions demanded. This large outlay for repairs is one of the necessary evils arising from the location of the school in the specially trying climate of Hilo. . A SUCCESSFUL PIECE OF WORK. BY GEN. MISSIONARY S. C. ARMSTEONG. I am glad to give my opinicn of the Hilo Boarding School. As a means to an end It has, I think, proved the most successful, effective missionary work at the Hawaiian I-lands. Mr. and Mrs. Lyman, In a quiet wise way trained native lx>ys to bo Christian, well-behuved, industrious and intelligent young men, who knew enough to do the work they bad to do, yet were not stuffed with book-knowledge in a way to mike them conceited or feel too far above their peoplo and thus tempted to use thorn as their tools. You seem lo havo curried out the .same idea. It has always been a lesson to me here. School training for the Hawaiians, the Africans, or the Indians should, in the great majority of cases be elementary, industrial, earnestly and practically Christian, not attempting tho higher scholarship (though they can easily master advanced studies) but devoted to making self-reliant men and women of simple tastes, above their people yet of them and full of the spirit of missionary Work for them. Tho Hilo Boarding School has better than any school at the Islands illustrated this Idea, it Is precisely what I have tried to do here. Not that I am not In sympathy with higher education for "the weak and despised races" for I believe In It for selected ones, and am glad that all the colleges in the North are now open to our black people; but In answer to the question "What is needed most, and what ie needed now for the Polynesians and the Anglo-Africans and Indians?" I say, the methods of the Hilo and Hampton Schools, which I hope will be applied to the Kainehameha School, soon, I am glad to learn, to be under your charge. THE TRUE IDEA AND METHOD OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONATING. BY REV. E. P. BAKER. Beneath the sunlight and warmth of a powerful spiritual stimulation, Hilo Hoarding School came into existence. That is not a saved humanity wnich is civilized without being Christianized. To make them clear-headed, without also making them right-hearted, is to hurt human beings rather than help them. Ignorance Is quite content to remain ignoraut, till it Is stimulated spiritually: barbarism feels no Impulsion towards civilization until Christianity That has touched its inmost heart. wonderful eagerness to go to school and learn, which animated the Hawaiian people of fifty years ago, came to them only after the Gospel had come to them. However, tho Gospel never comes to stay among any people unlessk nowledgo follows close after. Quite as much of an impossibility Is a true and permanent Christianity without civilization, as its rear-guard, as Is a true and permanent civilization without Christianity as Its van.guard. A civilizr-r is what Hilo Boarding School has emphatically been from the first. Early rising nnd work ; dressing after European fashion ; tho use of tables and chairs, combs and towels; salutations and correct manners generally— Inculcated and insisted on have all these things been for fifty years, in connection with instruction in tho common English Be vigorous and prompt to branches. civilize as fast as you Christianize," is one of the voices, therefore, which seem to reach the ears of Christendom from out the recesses of the half-century just dosed ; while Hawaii nel is by tho same voice reminded that, not till it is Christianized in its ways of eating, drinking, sleeping, dressing, home-building, marrying, children-training, conversing and general deportment of all sorts, private, domestic, social, ami civil, can ■ people no matter whence sprungor whore dwelling, be said to bo truly Christianized and assured thus of a prosperous and permanent future. Amid a decreasing native population nnd among decaying Churches, Hilo Boarding School isthe largest and greenest oasis on the Island of Hawaii. It Is stilt delivering Its testimony to mis. " sionary hoards and Christendom at regarding the Importance of clvlllzhw in life as well as Christianising In hearty the barbarians of earth to which VAwM sionaries are sent, leaving them to theflM selves, only when the civilizing Christianize* Is complete or nearly so. the Hawaiian people were declared to by high missionary authority, twentOT five years ago. That same jieople canndl be found to be hopelessly degenerall or virtually extinct, twenty-five hence, without tho cause of missions Itw; currlng Immense damage In the face and; eyes of all nations. Quite as ImimrtanT Is It, to prevent old missionary grounff from receding Into tho evening shadofW/ of heathenism, as it is to help forward new missionary ground into tho morning light of Christianity. If a truly prosperous and permanent future awaits the Hawaiian met, a fr»g> mont only though il be, have we not prophecy or it all in the greetings Hilo Boarding School accords to its Jubilee visitors—presenting to their view, as they reach the spot on which ii I* located, beautiful grounds, neat and comely buildings, well-mannered and promising pupils, a useful past and a hopeful future I FATHER AND MOTHER LYMAN.

Sickness among the school-boys always worried my father exceedingly. One of them was taken very ill, once upon a time, and father could hardly do anything but study his old inodical book, and keep watch of that lx>y. Just then an American ship or war—l believe it was the famous frigate United States, afterwards destroyed by fire at the commencement of tho great Civil war in 1801—drop|>ed anchor in tbe harbor. Pretty soon, the Commodore and his suite of officers, all resplendent with gold laces and shining epaulettes, came ashore, to call upon the missionaries. As soon as possible father Mked the surgeon to visit the sick boy. It was not very long before the doctor arrived nnd ascertained that the boy was suffering from pneumonia. I |>erloctly recall the delighted expression with which father told us iilsiut the surgeon's visit, and ulxiut hi* prescription of tartar emetic wnich soon relieved the sufferer.

A prominent feature of the Hilo Boarding School has always been the good musical training given the boys. Long ago—even a generation or more rtnok—not only vocal but Instrumental music was taught and learned with equal enthusiasm on the part of teacher and learner ; and with delightfully tuneful results. The children of those days wondered how Mrs. Lyman could give lessons In the use of instruments on which she could not herself perform. But missionaries and pioneers are often called on to accomplish wonders. They were marvelously sweet sounds that were produced by the school chorus, accompanied by the little orchestra of violincellos, bass viols, flutes and clarionets. Among the alumni scattered over the Islands there must be some of those performers now, gray-headed, returning to a Jubilee In Hilo, but a different Hilo— now church, new people, new leaden. However they will think with aloha of the almost forgotten thatch church for which* the school in a body long made �8 the only and efficient choir. They will recall the many evenings in which they produced entertainments for the guosts of the two or three mission families in Hilo. Perhaps they never knew how interesting their performances were to those strangers visiting our shores. Any observer could see that the listeners were not only pleased but surprised at the amount of musical taste and cultivation displayed by those Hawaiian lads. The heads that planned, tho hands that labored, lie resting, teachers nnd pupils alike, "silent in the grave."

In no better way could money be given to the school than towards its permanent endowment ; in no more appropriate form could aid be applied to the needs of the school than through our present Lyman Memorial Fund ; at no more suitable time could such aid bo rendered than at the present juncture when the Fund is so near completion. Every dollar thus given will be permanently operative in furnishing a Christian industrial training to the youth of Hawaii. This Jubilee occasion ought to bo sigualized by the completion of this Fund. How much will you give? Will you give eometnina, nou>t 2d. An Industrial Building. The plans , . JUBILEE NOTES. and site are ready. The plans provide for a two-story building with un L. The main building is to have a printing room, a sewing room, a school store, un office, and a store-room. The extension is to contain a paint shop and a carpenter's shop. The machinery in tbe various rooms is to be run by water of which there is an ample supply on the school grounds. Various individuals have contributed sowing machines, cloth, carpenter's tools, and paid freight expenses on material now on hand. Who will contribute a printing press? a turbine wheel? carpenter's tools ? Who will meet the expense of fitting up one of these rooms? 3d. A Cabinet of Hawaiian Antiquities. The boys in such schools as Hilo Boarding School become leader- among their people in every department of life. It is desirable that they should become better acquainted with their past history, in order that they may avoid the evil tendencies of other days, and that they may gain fresh Impulses to honorable and useful lives from all that was worthy and noble In the far past The depression of spirit that comes from an indefinable impression that all in the paat was worthless, and that all in tbe future is hopelees, colore Hawaiian conceptions more than should be the* mcc. The study of Hawaiian antiquities can be made the medium through which new inspiration shall come to Hawaiian youth. Contributions toward a cabinet would be grateJully acknowledged. Who will initiate the movement of furnishing Hilo Boarding School with a Cabinet of Hawaiian Antiquities ? —The Board of Trustees as at present constituted Includes the following gentlemen, viz.: Rev. Messrs. E. Bond, L. Lyons, J. D. Paris, J. Kaubanc, S. C. Lubiuu, A. O. Forbes, E. P. Baker, anil Messrs. Q. 11. Wetmore, M. D., J. H. Nawahi, F. S. Lyman, W. W. Hall, and 8. M. Damon.

However the lists are essentially correct There have been but two Treasurers of the school since its* organization, viz., Rev. D. B. Lyman, who served in that capacity for forty-five years, and Rev.

ThersNiave been three Secretaries of the Board of Trustees, via., Rev. Titus Coan, Hon. F. 8. Lyman, and Rev. Wm. B. Oleson. Dr. Chas.' H. Wetmore has served aa Auditor from the first. —The expense of carrying on such an institution as Hilo Boarding School now as compared with earlier years la very considerable. This hi due to the high J prices wli ich have accompanied the most phenomenal development of (M country's resources. The relative pa*i chasing value ol money in is;t»jand 18(9 is shown in this that u corn broom cost -in cents, now it costs 50 cents ; beef was two cents a pound, now it j ten and twelve cents. The higher cost oflj living has necessitated a heavier expend iture for salaries as well as for incident™ ami food expenses. This is a fact whi j| should be noted by those who are intern estetl In the growth of the school and Itjß endowment. —The singular thrift With which finances of the school were managed IJ the early years is strikingly exhibited i|J the history of the lierd fund. A cow and a calf were purchased in 1844, and profits from this source, together witM the mission herd which was donated ta_ the school, were such that in 1852, the first time, there was school money pS at interest. This money thus put at terest was about the same as tho avalj of the lierd bo that without the benfl there would have been no school funrjj and of course no income from Ir.tci—J In 1803 the fund thus originated, tjj gctber with interest accretions, theS thel thM thai r<9 il amount3 —In an entry in Mr. Lyman's bookaj dated December, 1844, occurs this iteorij For messenger to Waimea, seventy-fiyfl cents."

We admire Dat. Withuow for the OOtirage of his convictions and hecause these convictions are in the right direction. There can he nodouhl that In- is the right man in the right place. When an epidemic threatens a community it is the part of wisdom to take salutary precautions of prudence and to watch the symptoms ol the household. With the signs in the atmosphere of at tendency to lire tU away from the moorings uf faith, the people should he admonished to be on their guard. At such a time we need those who in the words taf the arise Kino- shall say: "Cease to hear the Instruction that causeth to err from the From infancy Ib ivo never doubted til great words of knowledge." Etor this reason as ov.iu truths of religion which are k.mwii glad to know that the Boston reviewed natters of mv own we are tfulio.il.

Since that time I hive ue»< r wasted mi hour in consulting whether I had uot better liberalize my theological beliefs. In. ver shall, liod does uot change. Human nature is not changed by chang ing limes. If ever tiie liible was the word of God, ll still is.

And further, the old faith 1 have in the infallible authority and plenary inspiration of the Biblo extends to its leading doctrines. 1 believe in the i'rinity, a« the cv.m gelicai uiiurcb of Christendom lias believed it, and in the lost and ruined ooudition of our race, and the perishing need that every soul has who is not already regenerated, lo become regenerate.! by accepting Christ ac bis Savior.

THANKSGIVING DAY. The day, which of all the days in the year, brings together the past and tho present, the days that now are and thoso that have passed away, is Thanksgiving Day. It is the day which tells us what we are, what we have and what we hope for. It hills us acknowledge that all is of Qod, the great Giver; not to thank our stars or think how lucky wo have been, hut to reeogni/.o that every good gift is of Ond's reincinhriinee and that to Him we should render on tho altar of grutilude the ohlation of grateful hearts.

Ilaleniauniau is what the Volcano at present is, instead of Kilauea, which is what it was, a few months ago, using the term Halcinaumau to denote the chasm left by the sinking out of sight of the liquid fire, constituting the Ilalemaumau lake, the fulling in of the cones, cliffs and pahoehoe formations, .surrounding the lake. The spectacle, now meeting the view is that of a crater within a crater, the entire volcanic action being confined to the inside crater, Ilalemaumau, which is three miles in circumference, while the outside crater Kilauea is In the nine miles is circumlerency. middle of the inside crater is a hill made up of debris, through the interstices of which, sulphurus smoke is pouring upwanl in dense masses, while around this hill on three sides, and constituting the floor of the inside crater, is a ring-shaped stretch of fresh pahoehoe, this ring-shaped area of pahoehoe having a break in it and so failing to reach quite round the hill, Hie surface of it being also dotted with blowing cones, which declare that not fur lielow is a stream of liquid lire. The interval where the ring-shaped stretch of pahoehoe fails to quite encircle the hill, is occupied by a small lake of molten lava in violent ebullition; the lake being fed by two streams proceeding from a point on the side of the hill directly opposite itself in position and higher up than itself in level; and flowing also underneath the fresh pahoehoe, the one, hall-way round, or neurly so, on one side of the hill, and the other half-way round, or nearly so, on the other side. A tunnel-shaped chasm, as Halemaumau necessarily came to be, by reason of the falling in of the sides all round, when the liquid lava sunk away and disappeared, and the utmost bottom being the part of it, which the depart- iiig lire was the last to leave, the returning lire made its first appearance at a point considerably one side of and much higher up than the utmost bottom; from which it came to piss, that, the debris allowed to settle down somewhat just at the point where the returning tire made its way to the surface, on account of Volume 44, No. 12. that the molten lava of the lake, now forming in Ilalemaumau, will gradually hack up towards the fountain that sends it forth, coming thus into position, so that the ordinary traveller can sec it with bis eyes and touch it with his walking stafT.

December, 1886. when the Sunday Schools of the Districts of Kona and Kau entertain the Sunday Schools of Kohala and charter a steamer to carry them around, Kohala must return the compliment and out do them if possible. No doubt some of the singing may be sweet and inspiring and some of the recitations display memory and faithful drill, but to crowd ou an inter-island steamer 600 persons of both sexes and of all ages and among them many of decidedly bad character, is an experiment too dangerous to health and morals to he counter-balanced hy whatever good then may come out of it. But, for such Exhibitions, money can he raised Without stint by those who let white people pay for their own children's education in the seminaries and the industries of whole districts among the llawaiians stand still while these are going on. These Sunday Schools should be under more strict supervision—many of them have superintendents of corrupt morals. But power and fluency of exposition of the Scriptures cover a multitude of sins with lliein. 1 know of a superintendent of a Sunday School on this island who distributed gin on election day to the electors, many of them members of his Sunday School, and kept his position ! This leads mo to the great blot upon Hawaiian Ch.istianity—the divorce between morals mid religion. This is also the crying evil among the colored people of America. It is not peculiar to the Hawaiians. It takes ages of enlightineiit to impress upon a people the value of consistency and sincerity. When people in high station among the Hawaiians act as if they thought that an all seeing God can be propitiated by generous contributions of money for church building brought amid the glitter of soldiers and tho crash of loud music and that He will thus be induced to pass over with indulgence the corruption of the daily life, there is need of some Samuel to rise and say "Behold to obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of ranis." This can hardly be expected from the native pastors who are so little above the average of their congregations that they do not have courage of character nor independence in worldly means sufficient to make it possible for them to be outspoken against the sins that they see in their people and in.mm over in secret. In this connection I would say that it lias seemed to me a mistake that the missionary fathers accustomed themselves to place so much importance upon the amounts contributed at monthly concerts as a test of christian life. Even now this test, if it is a test, makes a good showing for the Hawaiian Churches with their waning population. Last year the forty-two churches reporting show $8,40;' collected for pastoral support and $4,247.57 for missionary purposes, and including church erection and miscellaneous, fifty-eight Churches contributed a grand total of $28,142.6!) which gives so !IOXUI>Ul>>', II. I. SOME THOUGHTS ON THE PRESENT CONDITION OF HAWAIIAN CHRISTIANITY. BYA.F. JUDD. {Bead at Fort-tit. Church, A'oc 3, 1886.) The native Hawaiian Christian is not by nature skeptical, lie has no difficulties with the Mosaic, account of tho creation or with Jonah's whale or with any of the miracles before or after Christ. His childlike nature -accepts them as lie is not troubled with the doctrue, trine of future retribution nor in regard to the duration of future punishment, lie takes no interest in Kenan, Strauss or Herbert Spencer. Tlie previous religious belief of his ancestors makes it easy for him to believe in a God, allpowerful and and all-seeing. If in Some cases, when in extremis hecalls to his succor other gotls, this does not prevent him from coining back, when the peril is over, to the worship of Jehovah. In all my varied experience with them I never even heard of an Hawaiian who was an avowed Athiest or an Infidel upon any of the cardinal doctrines of orthodox belief. It is true that the Hawaiians are fond of discussions. They talk as naturally as they breathe. They are horn orators and with mellifluous tongue and easy gestures delight in nothing so much as a disputation. But generally they aim not to gain light and to vindicate the truth but to get a temporary victory over an adversary. These disputations are not only profitless but in most cases uro very destructive of spirituality. 1 remember once to have landed on Sunday at Hookena, Kouu, Hawaii, to speak to the people. I was expected and the Church was full. In the Sunday school exercises previous to the hour of divine service, a general discussion in loud tones was going on on the question as to what was the "unpardonable siu." The service began and 1 tried my best to enforce some vital and practical truth of the Gospel—hut my audience though respectful were preoccupied and 1 could not rouse them into with sympathy with me Of my theme. As soon as Church was over they began again the old discussion and t oniinued it in little knots all over the village. They are foud of display. The lawyer who can talk the loudest, the most fiuently and the longest is the best lawyer. The preacher is judged by the same standard. The present rage among them is the Sunday School Exhibitions, and they have of Into MMtafctJ proportions that are alarii.ing to friends of religion. A spirit of rivalry lias been developed and 9 an average for each of the 5,387 members the sum of over $5. More than one instance has occurred when native pastors have undertaken the work of their discipline anil purification of Church roll only to he met with iioycotting sn thorough that the task was given up. One of these Church societies has lately built a new church edifice and named it, not after any Christian grace or saint but called it the "Seventh Heaven" In honor of the King who is the seventh King of Hawaii. The llawaiians have a strong aversion to incurring the enmity or opposition of their fellows for principle's sake. When matters of discipline come up in the Association of Ministers it is very rare that any of them will come to the front as accusers—though the facts of the error to be corrected may be well known to them. If foreigners move in tho matter and the accused seems likely to he in the minority the discipline may le proceeded with: —otherwise not. We see among them much of hospitality, sympathy for Ihe distressed, readiness to forgive and hut little of that spirit which the Muster had when lie drove the moneychangers from the temple with a whip of .small cords. A hardened criminal may have served out his term of imprisonment and come out to he received among his friends and acquaintances as if there was no stain upon him. I have seen a high officer of the Government walk, hand In hand, with a man who had just before been convicted of embezzlement of a serious character. To say that a hud example is set the Hawaiian by those in power, by elevating men to otllce whose characters are unfit is a very mild statement. It is so completely demoralizing in its tendency, that unless changed, no incentives can be held out to Hawaiian youths to be moral, sober and honest as qualifications for offices requiring trustworthiness and character, but the prizes hereafter will come to the most subservient. These islanders made such rapid progress in civilization and Christianity because their Chiefs adopted what the missionary fathers taught them. Kaahumanu led them into the Church by thousands. Such an impressionable people are likely to he as easily led back into heathenism by the great among them now. It is difficult to describe the hold which superstition and heathenism still have upon them. In a conversation with a Hawaiian pastor and his wife they both assured me that a shark would never bite a human being except as punishment for some broken vow or promise —oftentimes of the most trifling character. In trying to convince them of the unreasonableness of this belief, which was sincere and verified by their own experience, I was answered, "God made the whale to swallow Jonah as punishment for disobedience and has He not still the sauie power?"

The annual meeting of the American I Board at Dcs Moines, Oct. 6—lo, was a remarkable one in many respects. It was remarkable for the place in which it met, a city of 40,0(10 people without an open saloon; for the large attendance considering that Dcs Moines is 175 miles j west of the Mississippi river, the farthest west that the Board has ever met; for the great debate on the question of sending out as missionaries those who hold the Andover theory that those who have never had the historic Christ preI sented to them in this life will have ; Him presented in the life to come, which lasted for one whole day; in its presiding officer, Dr. Mark Hopkins, and his influence upon the meeting. In the debate upon the Andover theory, which came up in connection With the report of the Home Secretary, Dr. Ai.den, Drs. Boardman, Goodwin, Nobi.k, Ai.den and others spoke in defense of the Home Secretary's policy, while Drs. Eqbjcrt and Newman Smyth c, Abiiott, Ward and Sec. Clark, opposed. While the debate was able and the feeling deep and intense, yet it was wholly courteous and Christian. When the vote was taken the result was really a victory for both parties; the opponents of the Andover theory by a decisive vote of 48 to 22 approved of Dr. Alden's policy and definitely condemned the doctrine of a future probation as "divisive and pervasive;" they also displaced Prof. E. C. Smytiik from the Prudential Committee. But on the other hand under the lead of Dr. Mark Hopkins, the following resolution was adopted: The Board recommends to the Prudential Committee to consider in dilficult cases, turning upon doctrinal views of candidates for missionary service, the expediency of calling u council of the churches, to be constituted in some manner which may be determined by the i " good judgment of the Committee, to pass upon the theological soundness of the candidate." A resolution looking to the return of Mr. lli'ME to his field in India was also adopted, both of which were victories for Andover. The result of this great debate was not a compromise but a divided victory. It was also an undivided victory for peace and good will, as those who differed most widely, were not embittered but met as brethren afterward in the most cordial Christian spirit. This meeting settles the question that there will be no division either in the Congregational Chilrches or in the Board. Any duty neglected prepares us for a new disobedience—any sin committed paves the way for fresh transgression; but duties done, and temptations resisted, fit us for new victories in the fight of faith, and greater advancement in the heavenly course. �—WE have received No. 1, Vol. 1. of a namesake, The Friend, published in New York City.

The sole reason for this step was that the paper took too much of my time. For the warm "words of commendation which have come te> us from many of our subscribers; for the uniform courtesy, kindliness and abil ty with which my editorial colleague has worked with me during the past two years; f6r the generous financial support which has been given the paper by the business men of Honolulu; and for the kind words about 'The Friend which have appeartd in the columns of the secular journals of this city, I wish to express my thanks and due appreciation. I hope that, with Mr. Oggel as Editoi, tinder the new business manager, The Friend will find increase of favor with the people of Hawaii nei. With kindest regard, J. A. Cruzan. Honolulu, H. I. At Mr. Cruzan's retirement from The Friend, it is pleasant to testify to the cordial relations that have existed between us these past two years. Also, that under his careful and efficient management thepaper has easily made its way financially. And further, that our readers will not be altogether deprived of the benefit of his pen, as the monthly record of the Fort-St. Church will appear regularly as heretofore. And this leads us to s;iy, that were it only for this monthly record of ourchurches it would pay every one of our members to take The Friend. We send the January number of the paper to every household in the Fort-St. and Bethel Union Churches, hoping with the opening year to add many new subscribers to our list. Let it be remembered that The Friend is the oldest published newspaper in the Pacific. Its publication was begun in January, 1843, and its memorable past is inseparably linked with the honored name of Dr. Samuel Chenery Damon. We JANUARY, 1887.

We should make the most of every year that is given us in better resolutions and nobler actions. To this we should be stimulated by the example of Him, Who lived, labored and died for others. Moving amid the varied sufferings of men, He bore their griefs and carried their sorrows. And He expects of us, not a cloistered seclusion, but a going out among the sinning and suffering, and that by His help we shall make the moral atmosphere around us purer, healthier and happier.

'The congregation numbers probably over 3000. 'The attendance at morning service however rarely exceeds 500. Services are held every Sunday morning at the Kawaiahao Church. In the evening the congregation 01 Kan makapili and Kawaiahao are united, holding services in the two Churches on alternate Sundays. Kawaiahao Church also holds a regular Wednesday evening prayer meeting, which is held in the basement room. 'The first Monday evening of each month a monthly concert of prayer for missions is also held. 'The Church sustains a young people's association, holding meetings once each month and which is doing active Christian work. Besides this, workers arc sent out every Sunday afternoon who hold meetings, with preaching generally, in from 9 to 10 outlying districts, the people of which reside so fat away as io make it inconvenient if not impracticable for them to attend the central Church. Every 'Thursday at 10 in the morning, a meeting presided over by the pastor is held in one of the districts or apanas. Friday afternoons at three o'clock the women hold a prayer meeting Kawaiahao Church. Besides this, other meetings are from time to time held and active work is done in the temperance cause. The Church contributes about $;iio per annum to foreign missions, besides raising other funds for pastor's salary, Church expenses, the poor, etc. Kawaiahao Sunday School numbers 4 officers, about 23 teachers and has an average attendance of 294 at the 10 o'clock Sunday morning session at Kawaiahao Church.

The last Sunday of each quarter is given up to a union exercise of all of the Sunday Schools held at Kawaiahao Church at 10 in the morning, sometimes taking three hours, and a Christmas feather ahaaina is given each year to all of the Sunday Schools connected with the Church.

One year ago, the 30th of Nov., the "Morning Star" sailed from Honolulu, with Mr. Chares Lewis, a much-esteemed member of Fort St Church, as engineer, and Miss Lucy Wetmoie, of the Foreign Church, Hilo, asdelegale from the Woman's Board. 'They found the voyage so peas ant that ere it terminated they decided to make the iccaineler of life's voyage together. And so, just one year from the date of the sailing of the "Star," they were united in marriage, by the Pastor of the Foreign Church, Key. E. P. Baker, at thi! residence of Dr. Wttmore, in Hilo. And Fort-St. Church joins with the Hilo Church in wishing these happily mated yourg Christians a long, happy, and tseful married life.

( Delivered at Hile, Hawaii, Nov. 7, 18S6, and published by request.) Microscopic Islands is a name not inaptly applied to Micronesia, as you will all say when you attempt to find them on ordinary maps. 'The term Micronesia is now used to denote the western islands of the North Pacific Ocean. Small as these islands arc, it is necessary, in describing them, to divide them into volcanic and coral islands. When we make this division, we must bear in mind that the former, though volcanic, are '■ more or less fringed with coral reefs," and even have barrier reefs, "a sort of submarine rampart " of coral, enclosing their lagoons, with here and there a volcanic or coral islet intervening to complete the boundary line. Rev. S. J. Whitmee says that " the volcanic islands, with the exception of the Hawaiian Archipelago, are all south of the equator." He makes three or four exceptions, evidently including among them Ponape, Kusaie, and Ruk or Hogolu as it is sometimes called. Micronesia forms a very important portion of what is called the " Atoll Valley." Southward of this valley is located the Ridge," which is about " Great Volcanic and 6o« miles wide 4,000 miles long, while the "Atoll Valley" is 1,200 miles wide and 6,000 miles long. The common pictures of Atolls and Lagoons are very pretty and very unique. 'These Atolls, however, vary so much in their formation and appearance, you cannot map them out satisfactorily and intelligibly except on a very large scale ; and after doing this you need to see one or more in order to have a correct idea of their 1 )ok and character. Mokil or Wellington Island, which has three islets, has a lagoon almost encircled by land, and has only one or two openings for the entrance and exit of tide water, neither of them of sufficient depth to admit anything larger than boats and canoes, and these only when it is high tide. Openings to the lagoons were pointed out to me as spaces where fresh-water rivers had formerly emptied themselves FRIEND. 7 from submerged lands into the briny- within two or three feet of the sea level, ocean, and thus prevented the coral polyp where there is more moisture than elsefrom doing there its ordinary work.

'The new year is pre-eminently a time of high purposes and new resolves. 'To many the new year has been the birth-hour to a new life, followed by glad years of consecrated activity in the interest ol God and heaven. But to a much larger number, with equally good opportunities and similar intentions, the matter never got beyond intention. 'The good resolution has never crystalized into action. 'The sacred promsie t) God and friends has never found fulfillment, and the passing years record only failure in a multitude of lives that might have been signal victories, to the glory of God and the cheer of humanity. Concerning the past the record is made, but of the future, what i—For your n.otto, take from the Word of God the f blowing Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High." Ps. 50: 14. My unsaved friend you ought to " offer unto God thanks-giving" that He has spared your life to see this opening year. How merciful He has been not to cut you down in the midst of your sins, with the burden of all your broken vows upon you Young man, you stand today upon the thresh jld of another new year. How will you begin it ? Wilt thou " pay thy vows unto the most High?" Vows of consecration to Jesus, made so long ago are nearly forgotton may be ; or perhaps they have been kept fresh in mind, by being repeated occasion illy under pressure of a disturbed conscience, but repeated, only to be broken again as the record shows.

" When thou vowtst a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hith no pleasure in fools pay that which thou hast vowed.

International Work by the General Secretary, was gener >us'y responded t > in a collection of $22.50, which has been forwarded to Mr. Wetmore in New York. Arrangements are being made to have a brief series of Lectures in the Hall, during the next few months. Prof. Van Slyke of Oahu College has promised to favor us with one or more scientific lectures, and we have our eye on one or two other sources of help. The young men's Bible class has been unusualiy interesting during the past month. The lessons have been calculated timate relation with the personal Savior who although the Son of God was—and is still the sinner's Friend. Aitkr mature deliberation it has been decided that the next International Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association will be held in San Francisco, probably some time in May. Mr. George W lliams of London, the founder of the first Young Men's Christian Association, has recently been elected Hon. President of the Association which he started forty two years ago when a young man of twenty one. For the past twenty five years the late Earl of Shaftesbury occupied the Presidency. We have seen frequent and favorable mention ia Eastern papers of a new parlorgame called " Crwkinole." It has proved to be very popular in many of the larger Associations in the States. 'This Association is now in possession of two of the ibove games, the gift of Mr. J. B. Atherton, purchased by him when on his recent tour in America. Members and other y>ung men are cordially invited to come in and try their skill. A considerable number of the Associations in the large cities of America, now make it a part of their regular work to provide a Thanksg ving Dinner annually, for the young men among their members who are away from home. Oakland and San Francisco Associations both dispensed turkey on that recent festive day. In the latter city the family circle consisted of one hundred and fifty young men. Wi: have known General Secretaries in the States who when about to publish an Association paper, have worked themselves up to nearly a fever-heat in their vain efforts to invent some nm and appropriate name by which to christen their literary producti in.

"In less th in a hundred years" said Voltaire, "Christimity will be swept from existence, and have passed into history." Infidelity ran riot through France red-handed and impious. A century has passed away. Voltaire's old printing press, it is said has since been used to print the word of God; and the very house where he lived has been packed with Bibles from garret to cellar, as a depot for the Bible Socieiy. 'Thomas Paine demolished the Bible, and finished it off, finally; but after he had crawled despairingly into a drunkard's grave in 1809, the book took such a leap that since that time more than twenty limes as many Bibles have been made and scattered t'tirough the world as ever were made before, since the creation of man. Up to the year 1800, from four to six million copi-;s of the scriptures, in some thirty different languages, comprised all that had been produced since the world began. Eighty years later, in 1880, the Statistics of eighty different Bible societies which are now in existence with their unnumbered agencies and auxiliaries, report more than 15,000,000 Bibles, 'Testaments, and portions of Scripture, with two hundred and six new translators, distributed by Bible societies alone since 1804; to say nothing of the unknown millions of Bibles and Testaments which have been -issued and circulated by private publishers throughout the world.

NUMISER 2. KAWAIAHAO SEMINARY. From the very commencement of the American Mission, some sixty years ago, the preaching of the Gospel has been accompanied by the education of Hawaiian boys and girls; at first in Christian fam- ilies and subsequently in the boarding schools established by the American missionaries at different points on the Islands. The Kawaiahao Ferrule Seminary originated twenty years ago in the family of Dr. Gulick, secretary at the time of the Hawaiian Board, who had taken a number of Hawaiian girls into his family to be educated together with his own children. In March of the year 1867 Miss Lydia Bingham, the present Mrs. Coan, arrived from Boston in the Morning Star with the Rev. Hiram Bingham, Jr., as captain. The school, which had been in operation for three years, was now established on a firmer foundation. Since then several worthy ladies have been engaged as teachers in the institution, while a con- siderable number have rendered tem- porary assistance from time to time. In June, 1876, it was deemed desirable to place the school under the direction of a Board of Trustees. The appointments, made by the Hawaiian Board, were Messrs. C. M. Hyde, A. F. Judd, W. R Castle, S E. Bishop and M. Kuaea. These gentlemen have served in this capacity continuously. Mr. Kuaea's place at his decease was filled by the appointment of Mr. G. W. Pilipo. In 1884 the Trustees secured the services of Miss M. E. Alexander, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and Miss N. J. Malone of Akron, Ohio, the present Principal and Associate Principal of the Institution. These experienced and conseciOed ladies are assisted in the work by Miss M. A. Brewer, of Oakland, Cal.; Miss S. Y. Hopper, of Williarastown, Mass.; Miss F. G. Morley, of Baraboo, Wis.; Miss L. E. Applcton, of Damon's Crossing, Virginia, and Miss Jennie Bates, pupil-teacher, of Honolulu, H. I. These ladies constitute a strong and efficient corps of teachers, and under their careful and thorough training the physical, mental and moral requirements of the girls are met, their characters developed and their young years permeated with influences calculated to qualify tham to take their places in the domestic, social and religious departments of life. The Seminary is supported in three ways: Ist, by Tuition, which is $50 a year per capita; 2nd, by Capitation fees, which, last year, realized $1,431.25; and 3rd, by the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, which contributes $200 per annum. �45 THE FRIEND. 10 The present number of girls in attendance is one hundred and twelve. Some of these are supported by individuals and one-half tuition for five. The following carefully prepared list will doubtless be of interest to all who have the Christian training of our Hawaiian girls at heart: Seminary. The senior class in the school also supports one girl in Miss Fletcher's school in Micronesia. Thus while the pupils are being helped they are in different ways helping others, and the teachers tell us that their girls "are learning and really grow in the knowledge, that it is more to give than to receive." blessed Mrs. M.

The salaries of the Teachers are paid from the revenues of the School and the $200 contributed by the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society. Under the training they receive, the girls are learning to live for others. The majority of them give to the three monthly collections at Kawaiahao Church, Kawaiahao Sunday-sehoolandthe "Lima Kokua" Society. Of this society we made mention in the January number* of The Friend. We would add in this connection that it is controlled by Christian ladies, with Mrs. C. M. Hyde as President. Mrs. Hyde estiblished this "Helping Hand" and has done an excellent work in keeping the interest alive and awake in Missionary endeavor. The members of the Society are native girls, composed almost entirely of pupils in Kawaiahao Proceeds from the hair piven by the School 545 00 EDITORIAL NOTES.

For the past two years $650 have been paid toward the traveling expenses of teachers entering the work. Frequent changes have rendered this necessary, but it is expected that when the building is completed the workers will be able to stay in the field longer.

Alexander further informs us, that a horse, carriage and harness havebeen given them; a new fence has been erectedand numerous gifts have been received of household and table furniture, also food and clothing, all of which helps in keeping this large family together. Miss Mary Green remembers the needs of the school in the direction of Temperance, to theend thatthese daughters of Hawaii may do their share in helping the homes of the Kingdom to be temperance homes. The teachers desire to express and convey through us their gratitude for so many large-hearted friends and their appreciation of the wide and increasingly manifested interest in the prosperity and augmented usefulness of this School for Hawaiian girls. native males, total 50. During the month there have been 44 outside patients; the number of deaths has been as follows: Foreigners 4, Chinese 1, native females none, native males 1; total 6. The steamer which arrived at this port January 23rd brought the sad tidings of the death of Mrs. T. B. Cunningham, of Canton, China, second daughter of the Rev. Dr. Happer, and sister to Mrs. F. W. Damon of this city. The lady will be remembered by many of our people, she having visited Honolulu in October, 1885. Mrs. Cunningham was born August 13, 1853; her death occurred December 9, 1886. For seven years she has been a missionary of the American Presbyterian Board; she has translated various religious works into Chinese, among them "Line upon line," catechisms and hymns. Up to the last she was deeply interested in mission work. To her husband, T. B. Cunningham, Esq., of the firm of Messrs. Russell & Co., Canton; to the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Happer, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Damon and other relatives of the deceased, we tender the assurance of our sympathy in their bereavement. General Logan is no more, but the record of his bravery and deeds remains.

Church. �February, 1887.] In the December number of The Friend we printed, as our readers doubtless remember, an able paper on " The Present Condition of Hawaiian Christianity," by His Honor Chief Justice Judd. In this paper the Judge says: "If any plan can be devised and carried into effect which the Hawaiian Churches after their twenty years of autonomy will accept, which shall give them the supervision of foreign resident quasi Bishops, some of the lost ground may be regained." In response to the paper as a whole, and the quoted paragraph in particular, Dr. J. K. Smith writes from Boston as follows : "I have only time to say that we find it a strong argument when talking with the Secretaries of the American Board and other influential people here in favor of sending men out to the Islands to act as counselors and leaders for the native pastors and The Prudential Committee, churches. and many others here, are only waiting for the request from the Hawaiian Board for help before taking measures lo send both men and money to keep the mission on the Islands from disaster; and the more the Hawaiian Board asks for the more it is likely to get." The words of Dr. Smith are timely, and true to the spirit that ever actuates the American Board. Though that experienced and competent body needs no direction from us, we would, however, suggest, that in the selection of such "counselors and leaders," in case the plan, as we have reason to expect, shall crystalize into action, it will be the part of wisdom to select for this work, men who are familiar with the Hawaiian language and the peculiar characterand tendencies of the natives. Such men, sons of missionaries, or missionaries themselves, may be found, both in the United States and on these Islands. These men would not first have to battle with the language, b'Jt fully equipped as they already are, could at once enter upon their task. It would be an economizing of time and money and the purposes of the Board, would, according to our view, be more ideally realized. THE HEATHEN WHO HAVE NEVER HEARD OF CHRIST. BYREV.EDWARDP. BAKER. When, therefore, New England divines taught, that those who did not consciously profess Christ could not be saved, were they never so diligent to conform their lives to the light of nature, they certainly seem to have been contradicting Christ's teaching recorded in the 25th Chapter of Matthew. Freeman Clarke. Andover Professors, at least those of them who represent Ihe new departure, retain the belief that a knowledge of the historic Christ is essential to salvation. Unitarians, on the other hand, hold to the doctrine set forth by Jesus in the 25th chapter of Matthew, that the righteous of all nations, whether they know Jesus or not, are the heirs of salvation, both in this world and the world to come.— Christian Register.

The native teacher resident here is a good man and has the oversight and care of the people and the school, but acts under the supervision and control of the Samcan Mission. At Atiu in the Hervev Group, I was particularly struck with the large concourse of peopl* who assembled at the Church at dawn o£ day for devotional exercises. Here also the native teacher takes the entire charge of the work, and although I hear good results are seen, yet I think on an Island with so large a population a missionary ought to be resident so that a larger harvest may be gathered in. At Rarotonga too the outlook was quite satisfactory, as far as I could judge during my short stay. The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Hutchins must lead a busy life on this thickly peopled Island. Here I had the pleasure to meet for the first time the Rev. Mr. Lawrence of Aitutaki, and the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Harris of Mangaia. Everywhere I have found that a deep affection is felt by the natives for their Ministers and families who, to win the love of the people, look after the temporal as well as spiritual condition of those around them.

The Chiefs as we have remarked, signed the paper, left the ship, struck for home, but there were no cheers or vivas for Dona Maria; hearts were sad and heavy. The question will naturally be asked as to what will be the reign here. The Commander of the war ship is not able to tell us much, but in answer to questions put, replied, that in some two months two steam-ships will return, bringing a Governor, 50 or 100 soldiers as a body-guard, some Catholic Priests, some cattle, perhaps 50 workmen, materi.il'for erecting large buildings and residences, and so on. We hear the port is to be free; one can come and go at his own pleasure and goods will be admitted without duty. We hear, too, that the natives are not to be taxed, but word is already given out that no land is to be sold till the arrival of the Governor. Deeds, however, already holding land will be respected. The coming in of this neworder of things cannot but be a good thing for all this Island realm, if only the newrulers will be just. It will bring in a new good Government much to be desired. The time is at hand when capital seeks to enter these Islands. It is timely. There is no law, no protection to life and pioperty. There has thus far, it is true, been but little outlawry. The rfetives on the Island reached by Christian influence have mellowed and sobered down most wonderfully. Kusaie at which Island four whalers at least have been cut off, now through Christian instruction is almost the safest place in the Pacific Ocean to live in. Even now, a poor widow with her children, having come from the Colonies, lives there and carries on trade without being in the least molested by the natives. But all this reign of order and peace is liable at any moment to be broken up; tramps and freebooters are liable to drift along at anytime and sack any trading house they choose; and there is no protection in such a case for the trader. But if Spain is only true to the spirit of the age, she will give here good Government both for her own good and the merchant. I need hardly say there is not much yet to invite the merchant. The Island is poorly cultivated, but the soil is good, and manila, hemp, coffee, cotton, sugar cane and all such commodities can be grown with ease so far as the soil is concerned, which is rich. Perhaps I may say the war vessel goes from here to Strong's Island, simply to raise the Spanish flag. She has been at Ruk. At Yap she recently landed a Governor, 50 soldiers, six priests, laborers and material for building. The natives there are simon pure heathen; they have gre«t repugnance to clothing; the maro is their only dress, certainly on Yap.

The night was dark, but clear and cold, with strong trades blowing. At the start, a column of bright red smoke and steam shot up hundreds of feet, but no lava was to be seen. There is a comparatively level plain in the vicinity, and the reflection showed that the lava was rapidly covering it. At 8 p.m. jets began to appear along the lower edge of the plain, and at 8:30 a large stream pouied over, ran around the base of Halepohaha, and headed for Kona, or in a southwesterly rection.

Light trades were blowing, which carried the smoke away, and allowed a clear view of the coast at the point where the main stream was flowing into the sea. A column of steam a quarter of a mile in width, and three or four hundred feet high, was constantly ascending, and joining above with the smoke and steam from the fire fountains. After sunrise its whole eastern side was glistening like a pillar of snow. At the place of observation, six or seven miles distant and to windward, the roar of the tumult beneath this column could be plainly heard. At 9:15 a. m. had a peculiar earthquake. All of the others have been from a northerly to a southerly direction and without noise. This was apparently from east to west, and although the jar was light, it was accompanied by a rattle similar to that produced by running a stick along a picket fence. At 10:30 a. m. some gentlemen who had been up the mountain for the purpose of photographing the flow brought the following intelligence:— The head of the flow is not, as has been supposed, at the lava fountain above Halepohaha, for the molten stream was visited by them some miles farther up than that point. One of these gentlemen is about the oldest foreign resident of Kau and is well acquainted with this side of the mountain. In his opinion, the lava comes from Pohakuhanalei, where the fire was first seen on Sunday, 16th inst., as b«yond the point visited by them a line of smoke was seen extending to that crater. They all agree in estimating the rapidity of the stream at thirty or forty miles an hour. They say that the fountains which had been observed from below, are caused by this rapid stream of lava dashing against the numerous cones and portions of ancient flows with which the plain is thickly covered, and that there is no sign of a crater or fissure where they appear. Reportsj from Pahala, Punaluu and Naalehu also show the earthquakes to have been numerous and severe, especially the one of Sunday night, January 23rd, at 11:30, that was experienced in this city. The steamer W. G. Hall, at anchor off Punaluu at the time, was so shaken that Captain Bates prudently steamed seaward THE FRIEND. FORT-ST. CHURCH.

The continuous down-pour during the first half of the month of January, compelled the cessation of our special services after the Week of Prayer, and very largely interfered with the services which were held during the first week of the new year. Dr. Dorman of New Haven, Ct., preached for the Pastor Sunday evening, Jan. 2, and conducted the evening services during the Week of Prayer. Sunday evenings Jan. 23 and Jan. 30th, notably large audiences greeted Mr. Richard T. Booth, the Temperance Evangelist. His work, still in progress, has taken hold of our people, and been the means of much good. A cordial welcome home awaited Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Brown, and W. O Smith and family. The serious illness of Mrs. Smith has been a source of great solicitude. Mr. Oscar White has been called to America because of the serious illness of Mrs. White Further news from her is anxiously awaited. Dr. and Mrs. Whitney have also left us for a few months' sojourn in the States. The prayer meetings during January have been largely given up to special services.

THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH. JANUARY—FEBRUAR Y. The Rev. Arthur H. Smith of North China, on the 9th, addressed the Sundayschool. In tie evening of that day Dr. Dorman preached an earnest discourse on the words, "Son, remember." He pressed the truth home and the Divine blessing accompanied the Word. At the Young People's meeting the following Friday evening there was an unusual degree of interest. The meeting was led by Mr. William Waterhouse, and there weie brief addresses by Dr. Dorman, Mr. J. T. Arundel of London, England, and Mr. George C. Ellis of Auckland, New Zealand. The hour proved one of interest and profit to all. On Sunday, the 16th, Mr. Arundel addressed the Sunday-school. The Rev. A. H. Smith occupied the pulpit in the morning and preached an able and instructive discourse. We take for granted that Mr. Smith is needed and. useful in North China; but we know no other man so well qualified to be a Secretary of some Foreign Missionary Board, and to present the cause and claims of Missions to the churches throughout the iand. On Wednesday evening, the 19th, after a brief season of prayer, in which Mr. Ellis of Auckland took part, the annual business-meeting of the Church was held. The Treasurer, Mr. E. C. Damon, presented his report, showing the receipts to have been $3,787.80, and the disbursements $3,784.09, leaving a balance on hand of $3.71. A unanimous vote of thanks was tendered the Treasurer. Considering the fact, that our Church building was lost during the year by the great fire and that we have since April occupied a temporary Church home, which, though comfortable, is not by any means central, we felt that the congregation deserved to be congratulated on presenting so noble a financial record.

In the lagoons the temperature of the sea was positively delightful. Being a little cooler than the air, in almost all cases it proves both salutary and tonic to sea bathers. Within these lagoons you woulel readily observe the intensely green sea which every one notices when voyaging among coral Islands; and when you see one spot greener than'another, shun it, for there you wi 1 find a coral shoal near the surface. The native table usually consjjts ofbreadfruit leaves spread on the ground, or floor. I plucked one young breadfruit leaf at the Mortlocks that was two feet long and over one foot wide. A few such leaves would cover quite a good sized table. In some places I saw mats kept and used for such purposes. They handle food with their fingers. In the breadfruit season the people largely subsist on it, but scarcity of food occurs almost annually among them; hence they cook it and make it into balls and then dry it, and in this state it will keep a great while. The jack fruit they usually bake in their hot stone ovens. For preservation they scrape it fine and put it into salt water for maceration and seasoning. Then they place it in the earth packed in leaves, or out in the sun, till perfectly dry. In some places, the fruit is preserved for use by storing in pits where the fruits ferment and resolve themselves into a mass similar in consistence to new cheese, in which state an offensive odor is emitted. After baking in their ground ovens, this is dissipated. They wrap some of the leaves of the tree around a piece of wood to form a mould, and when securely tied with strings, the stick or board is withdrawn and in this mould the " bump" is inserted. It is said to be of a sweet, pleasant taste. Brother Doane had it on his table daily instead of cheese. One mouthful was enough for me. Their " kalo" is coarser than ours; they never make it into poi; generally they bake or roast it; sometimes they mix it with pia" (arrow-root) or cocoanut or both. Their " pia" they always mix with breadfruit or with Pandanus fruit and then use them as desserts. Yams they bake; some roast Bananas they or boil and mash them. either eat fresh, or slice and dry them in the sun for use in times of destitution. Cocoanuts when well sprouted they split open and then cook them, and in this state they highly esteem them as an article of diet. Fowls are quite common, often existing in the bush. Pish obtained near the shore are good to eat. The natives often frighten a hundred or more skip jacks or other kinds of fish into shoal water where they can readily be caught. Those which they get in deep water are often poisonous, particularly at certain seasons of the year. A Hawaiian missionary from Hilo almost died at the Marshall Islands from eating poisonous fish sent him by a chief who evidently intended his death. Green sea turtle we saw and tasted at Mokil and ° " Mor. There they are often captured on the coral shoals at low or medium tide. At Kusaie and the Marshall Islands we found the people pretty generally well clothed with foreign fabrics bought with cobra (cocoanut meat sliced and dried) at two cents per pound. Some persons there still wear the mat dress. Many men and boys at Ponape and at the islands in that vicinity continue to wear the fringed "figleaf" ppron. Kings and chief's in early mission-days tabooed their wearing foreign apparel. At the Mortlocks and at Ruk there is a great scarcity of dress and of dress materials. Red and yellow ochre pigments are much used for the head and upper part of the body. " Unadorned, adorrftd the most," mcthinks I hear you say. Persons fond of naked statuary would there have their tastes fully satisfied. Aprons, mats, " malo's," "pa'u's," poncho's and foreign clothing are coming into use as fast as the missionary influence is extended. On Pingelap (McAskill's Island) and in many places on the Marshalls, the houses are on "stilts;" men sleep above and women below, except chiefish women, who are allowed quarters in the rooms above. One high stilt house attracted my attention at Pingelap, and on inquiry I was told that some boys erected it so as to sleep above the mosquito region. Ruk houses are thatched, low, flattish, and dismal, and the people herd together. Neat houses are now seen taking their places where the gospel has a hold. The Micronesian population is a portion of the great Malay, or as you might say, the brown Polynesian race. They certainly have the Asiatic appearance. There is a " combination of elements in different degrees of fusion" effected by the surrounding Islanders and people. In some places the oblique Mongolian eye is quite perceptible, and in general you will note their scanty beard. Their language and institutions have also a Malayan aspect. The Caroline Islanders have a soft yellow or saffron tinge with rather slightly built figures. The Marshall Islanders are a lit tie darker and more vigorous. Tarapon " is a peculiar name given by ethnologists to designate Micronesians. It is derived from " Tara," a part of the word Tarawa, and "pon" from Ponape; one a Gilbert, and the other a Caroline Island. The natives are learning English to some extent in their Training Schools, and but little elsewhere except as they pick it up in their intercourse with seamen. In regard to taking in abstract ideas, they are very much like Hawaiians in former years. It is extremely difficult for them to concentrate their minds upon difficult, abstruse matters. The mission ary, who has to labor for a thousand, and perhaps ten thousand souls, has all he can do to do plain work, obliged as he is to give line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little," as opportunity is affortled him. The sin of impurity, the great sin of the Pacific, is the Micronesian besetting sin ; yet it is not overlooked or disregarded. " " On Pingelap, just before our visit there, a man had broken the seventh commandment, and had been banished to an uninhabited island, there to live a long time alone and thus atone for his offence. When the Spirit of God his entered the heart, (and I believe it has there entered many hearts) conscience hasbeen awakened in them ; not created or manufactured by man, but by that higher power which helps men both to will and to do " what nature and men never can. I saw persons manifesting good evidence of true penttence for such transgressions. Rev. Eli Corwirj, once expressed his views of such things in the following language: "If we have occasion to lament that the Pacific Islanders so often seem like full grown children, sinning and repenting and easily lapsing into the same sin again, we have occasion yet more to lament that so many in our own land fall into sin without any thought of repentance or restoration." Rev. George Chancy says, "hardly more successful in illustrating Christian virtues than the average " Christian elsewhere." The Strongs Islanders (Kusaians) are physically and numerically declining. Influences sadly connected with civilization have done and are doing this terrible work. Ponapeans may be classed in the same category. The Marshalls rank next in the scale and show strong indications in the same direction. At those "sunny isles," the Mortlocks and at Ruk, fewer visits have been made by profligate seamen, and the people are multiplying almost beyond the resources for supplying their necessary wants. (To be continued.) — — A lady, teaching her little daughter four years old—pointed to something in the book and asked: "What is that, my dear ?" "Why, don't you know ?" inquired the child. "Yes," said the mother, "but I wish to find out if you know." "Well," responded the little Miss, "I do know." 'Tell me, then, if you please," said the lady. "Why, no," insisted the little one, with an arch look; "you know what it is, and I know what it is, and there is no need of saying anything more about it."—Early Dew.

Says our friend and neighbor, the EdiAfter Mr. Booth's first address we knew that there was much reserved power that tor of the Anglican Chronicle, writing on would be brought into play during the Sunday-schools in the February number of "The oldest pupils progress of the mission. Many of the that publication: workers here, who entered with Mr. liooth should be taught the meaning of the diffinto the recent campaign, were doubtful erences that exist between the Church docas to whether that gentleman's efforts trine and practice, and those of the reliwould be followed by any appreciable re- gious bodies arcund them."

Hut the doctrine of the absolute necessity of the Episcopal as the only valid form of government, and ofthe Episcopal succession of bishops, in order to a participation in the gifts of the Spirit, we must regard as something foreign to the true idea of the Christian church. It is in direct conflict with the spirit cf Protestantism; and is the origin, not of the true Catholicism of the apostles, but of that of the Romish Church. When therefore, Episcopalians disown, as essentially deficient in their ecclessiastical organization, other Protestant Churches, which evidently have the spirit of Christ, it only remains for us to protest, in the strongest terms, against their setting up such a standard of perfection for the Christian church. Far be it from us, who began with Martin Luther in the spirit, that we should now desire to be made perfect by the flesh." If "the oldest pupils" could be induced to imbibe these words, they might develope into broad-minded, large-hearted, influential christian men and women. OUR AGENCIES FOR GOD AND HUMANITY. All who nave surrendered themselves to the Savior and entered upon a christian life have in so doing consecrated their all to the cause of Him, Who redee.ned them. But it would seem, that some Christians, owing perhaps to superior home training, have a more vivid realization of their duties and responsibilities than others. We rind those, who apparently are satisfied with the performance of few duties and these of a nature that do not demand much self denial. They are not altogether useless, yet they do not bring great »>r effectual help to the cause of their professed allegiance. This is to be regretted. Not only some, but all christians, in view of what their Savior has done for them, should be in earnest, full of love, faith and courage and consequent happiness,— our lives fruitful of good and adding daily to the sum total of human blessedness in the bestowal of helpfulness to the needy, and sympathy to those whose sky is darkened and who have the cup of sorrow pressed to their lips.

A little more than ten years ago when the first century of the American Republic had closed and a new century begun, the Centennial Exposition drew thousands of people to the memorable city of Philadelphia. 'Thereon every side could be seen the results of man's inventive power. 'The exercise of this power begins, way back at an early day in the world's history. 'Thus when man could no longer sleep amid the flowers of Paradise Jabal made a tent; his brother directed his attention to the science of musical sounds and invented the harp and the flute. Tubel-Cain was the first discoverer of ore and was perhaps the inventor of the spade and the sword. And through on-going centjries men have put to a practical ttst the gift of intelligence and exerted then mental powers. And as one age succeeded another, civilization, art and science have made wonderful advances and triumphs. And in this century especially, the thinking faculty of man has achieved astonishing results on the fields of investigation and practical application. And yet there never have been displayed, and there never will be, any productions of science or of art, that can at all compare with the evidences of the inventive skill of God. It is true, sometimes Godremains in the secret place of His habitation and all things proceed in their stated and usual course, but not seldom does He step forth from His solitude, and He touches some natural cause and sets it in motion and there is a storm, an eruption, an exhibition offire and flame, a mighty, rushing, gathering stream of lava, all nature in terrible commotion, and a Voice, not of earth, says, This phenomenon is designed for your thought and reflection; come and behold the works of the Lord! And yet, my friends, grand and marvelous and full of instruction as the works of Gcd are in the natural kingdom He will show you greater things than these. For we might stand amid nature's most brilliant scenes, helpless and hopeless. Burdened by sin, offer at her altars a prayer for pardon and you will receive no answer; weary and heavy-laden she will give you no rest. And here it is that God, inexhaustible in His resources, has come to the rescue, and He says, Come into the sanctuary of My grace,and behold the provisions ofinfinite love! You return. What went you there for to see ? O, a grander sight than the Baptist, the King himself, the Priest, the Sacrifice a more winning 6ight than a volcanic exhibition, the love of God deeper than the earth, higher than the heavens ! —a love that can and will save to the uttermost! — FRIEND. but also in past years. Not always has it bten thus in other parts of the world. Only think of the wide-spread earthquake which laid the city of Lisbon in ruins and ashes. It was of a wide-spreading nature and disastrous in its effects. It was felt at different times through most parts of Europe. One describing its devastating career and awful consequences says of it, "Lisbon numbered 300,000 souls. Its foundations trembled and the ground heaved. Towers, palaces and churches tottered and fell. 'The city's vast riches and by all accounts between fifty and a hundred thousand persons were buried or burned. One might see the flames bursting from the ruins; the sea roaring and rushing over its banks with resistless impetuosity; the people running from place to place in wild consternation and rending the air with their wild shrieks and cries, and walls falling upon thousands in iheir helpless and hopeless flight. Other towns in Portugal, Spain and along the European coast of the Mediterranean were damaged, overthrown or sunk. It extended acrcass the sea and ruined a great part of Africa and many thousands perished. It was felt in various parts of Italy, Germany, France, Great Britain and Ireland. 'The tremor reached also the American land and was felt in Boston and other parts of New England." And likewise I might speak of Pompeii and of the more rectnt occurrences on Java and Charleston, in the home land. Now on these islands we have had expositions of majesty and power coupled with the goodnes and sympathetic care of God. I have been deeply interested in a graphic description by the late Dr. Coan of Hilo, of the eruptions and streams of lava that have taken place here from time to time. Mention is made of seven of these, and, beginning with that of 1823 and ending with that of 1868, it may be said of them all, that they occa sioned no loss of human life, even though of the eruption <»f 1868 it is recorded, that "tradition reports no convulsions to equal those of that year in magnitude or extent. The whole land was shaken." The eye-witnesses of some of these phenomena were rewaided with sights such as but seldom favor the vision of mortals and so subl.me and terribly impressive were the scene of action and the magnificent pyiotechnical displays as to baffle all description. No deaths ensued from the eruption and accompanying earthquakes of 1880-81, and the same may be said of this last one, of which a personal beholder says, "It was impossible previously to conceive of a scene of such indescribable brilliancy and sublimity." Yet now, as on a former occasion, when all eastern Hawaii was lighted up at night and the scene was like the conflagration of a great city or a burning firmament, we are privileged to record that no lives were lost. 3. —THE PROTECTING CARE OF GOD, is also a lesson which it behooves us to learn.

May our lives be those of praise and sacred incense and deep melodies, and preparation for the great future, and Vesuvius, Kilauea and Mauna Loa and other mountains have sent forth for ages torrents of liquid fire, and in his "Night Thoughts" Young paints this picture of an oncoming day: — See all the formidable sons of fire; Eruptions, earthquakes, comets, lightnings play Their various engines; all at once disgorge Their blazing magazine; and take by storm, This poor, terreslrial citadel of man.

FORT-ST. CHURCH. The special services so ably conducted by Mr. Richard T. Booth during the last week of January and the first two weeks of February interrupted the regular work of the Church. A Union service was held Sunday evening, Feb. 9th, at which Rev. E. C. Oggel made the opening address, and Mr. Booth followed with a temperance address. On Monday evening there was a farewell meeting for Mr. Booth in the audience room, followed by a soc'al in the lecture room. The convalescence cf Mrs. Z. K.

And neither Dr. Damon nor the community were disappointed in their expectations. Tor her service there many a sailor owed her a debt of gratitude. And what more blessed woik can there be in this pilgrim land than to clothe the naked and destitute and feed the hungry and nurse the sick and speak words cf comfort and hope to the dying? As fruit grows on a tree, so did this loving service tm mate from a heart filled with the love of Christ. 'There is no life like that which, in self-denying acts, is consecrated to God and humanity. A cup of cold water, given in the name of a disciple, the Master has said, shall not ultimately fail of its reward "Inasmuch," He will say in the great day of his appearing, " as you have done it to the sailor, the stranger, the sick, the destitute, the unfortunate, the dying, ye have done it unto Me, the Son of Man and the Lord of heaven and earth, whose is the gold and the silver, and the cattle upon a thousand hills." And now, though being dead—but her real, unclouded, ever-blc,sed life has but just dawned !—though being dead, she yet speaketh. She speaks to you, my aged friend, whose loving and faithful companion she has been for nearly half a century, and she says: "Be patient and faithful to the end." Yes, a few more suns shall roll and go down and then you, too, will be in the blessed land where the beloved companion of so many years is now waiting and watching for thee. In the meantime the Lord will abide with you even unto the end. Children and grandchildren of the departed: through her life and example may you all be attracted to that Savior, who said, "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me." So will you all stand at some time at the right hand of earth's Redeemer, and your parents shall say: "Lord, behold us and the children whom Thou hast given us." This place and this very Monday afternoon hour —as many of you know —is consecrated as "the ladies' weekly hour of prayer." Not far from where I am standing the dear departed mother has often sat and prayed and given her testimony to Christ and the blessedness of His service. She will be missed in that circle of praying women—and who will take her place? Her life here is ended; her voice hushed in the repose of death, but her example and the record of her life remain. "And I heard a voice from heaven sayiig, Write, Blessed are the dead, who die ii the Lord, from henceforth: yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them." Says 'Thatcher: Karth is the spirit's rayle-s cellj lint then, as a bird soars home to the shade Of the beautiful wood, where its nest was made, In bonds no more to dwell: So will its weary wing He spread lor the skies, when ils toil is done; And its breath How free, as a bird's in the sun, And the soft fresh gales ol spring. Not dearer, 'mid the foam (>f the far-off sea, and its stormy roar, Is a breath of balm from the unseen shore, To one that longs for home. Wings, like a dove to fly ! The spirit is faint with its feverish strife; O, for its home in the upper life ! When, when will death draw nigh? Or, in the words of the departed mother, "Let me go: why do you keep me ?"

LECTURE ON MICRONESIA. ETMORE, BHCY.WM.D. (Delivered at Hila, Hawaii, Nov. 7, ISS6, and published by request.) It is very hard indeed for such islanders to get toughened to the common results which so often accompany civilization* Like the TssD anians, it will ere long be said of the Micrcnesians, too, "not one cf them remains." So what is to be done for them should be done quickly. You ask, "What was considered wrong (among the people) before the missionarywork commenced?" It was wrong for women to join with the men in celebrating a heathen feast. It was wrong for a sister to sit upon a brother's mat or to eat food prepared by him. It was wrong for a plebeian not to take hold of the right wrisl with his left hand in conveying anything to a superior. 'This is done even now at the communion table. It was wrong for one of the common people not to crouch in sight o( the king; in which position hewas forced to remain until bidden by the king to rise, or until his majesty chose to mo\e on. In like manner all common I eople had to go down to every chief, lesser chiefs to greater, and sisters to brothers. At Kusaie, where this custom prevailed, it was termed "sinuk." It was forever abolished by their king, January 11, 1884. It was wrong to take and eat a cocoanut from a recent grave if placed there by a relative. Such an act would displease their god, "Anit": no native would dare even to hand'e such a nut. It was wrong, and is now, at the Mortlocks, which are a subordinate group of the Caroline Islands, to gather cocoanuts from any grove which a king or chief had encircled with a string, cord, or vine, until he chose" to remove it; no matter whether the people suffered and died or not from famine. We saw several groves thus under strict taboo. It was wrong, and is now, in many places on Ponape, to address a king in the language of the common people. The royal dialect, containing many words of ceremony, must be employed in conversing with them or you incur their hot displeasure. In speaking of Micronesian character in early days, I would say they were regarded as barbarous savages, liars, thieves, ciuel, full of hatred, darkness, and obstinacy, naked, dirty, haggard looking, heartless, wild, rude and wicked. Murder, robbery and lawlessness reigned among them, and they were sunken even into the FRIEND. lowest depths of moral degradation. A few examples will suffice to elucidate these declarations. At Pohape in early times, a Nanakin endeavored to make two widows live with him. With help they escaped from him. He caught one and shot her, and then butchered the other with his own brutal hands. Formerly, at the same island, people would take with them to church their large knives and other fighting implements, and lay them in a pile by the church door. When travelling about, they would carry them along to protect themselves from insult and violence from their enemil I, At l'ingelap there was a jacred i land. On one OCCSStI n the king retired to it "to have his gods prevent the coming of the missionary God." He was there afflicted with severe pains and nearly died. Despairing of life, he sent for the native missionaries, 'Thomas and Tepit. They came and prayed with him and their prayers were heard. 'The king soon revived, and not long afterward embraced < Christianity. Ebon chiefs would wrench open the bowels, tear off limbs, break the head and gnlp down the blood of their ercmies. Once more: turn your attention to Mille and see what transpired there in 1824. In the midst of terrifying whoops and yells, the exasperated people dash upon the remnant of the ill-fated Globe crew, then ashore, and massacred in cold blood all but two of their number. One old woman about sixty years of age ran ('apt. John North's brother Columbus through with a spear ar.d pelted out the remainder of life with stones. Here let me mention some things which they believed. Each land rests, or floats, on the sea and has its own heaven and hell. Different lands had no common foundation. Sickness, calamity, a noise at night, or anything singular, was looked upon as the work of a ghost. Even the rainbow they regarded as the work of a spirit moving upon the clouds. They entertained this strange idea until Father Sturgis made a prism, which convinced them of their folly and made them laugh at their simplicity. Among certain classes there is a belief that spirits swarm in the air and take human form; that they sometimes inhabit certain birds and fishes which are taboo as food to the family, though they are allowed to help catch them for others. 'They deified their ancestors, supposing from time to time that they occupied blocks of stone. These stones were anoinktd with oil, and worshiped with prayer and offerings 'They were ominous and used for divination. In the Marshall Islands, instead of stones, certain palm trees were enclosed for a like purpose. Bodies of the dead and even of the sick were sometimes dispatched to sea westward with certain rites and ceremonies. Bodies of chiefs were buried. At Ponape they would bury the bodies of a deceased one very early, lest a stranger, looking upon it, should offend the spirit. They believed that the dead go down under the 25 sea to a beautiful world where the scul finds all it wants, fruits, fish, canoes, feasts, etc. Going to thic Elysian land, a dark beautiful place must be passed; on either side of its portal stand two spirits ready to catch and thrust down into it all they car. If those approaching these spiiits can sing sweetly they are suffered to pass on to their land of bliss; but woe to him, who is no singer, that seals his fate and he is cast down into the dark and fearful abyss. Such views of the future night help a people to cultivate the voice while living. You ask for bill of fare in mission families. We ofti ne-r had roast pigeons than any otler form <i meat diet; (it was our fortune to be there in pigeon reason,) fowls, rice, canned meats and fruits, yams, Irish potatoes, squashes, cucumbers, pineapples (superior to any I have eaten before), bread and butter, with tea and coffee, or lemonade, were enjoyed by us while we were privileged guests at mission tables. I fear we fined more sumptuously than they often did after we left. Some officers of a man of war weie invited to tea by the Snows at Ebon twelve years ago; a heavy rain prevented their being present, "Else," Brother Snow said, "they might have gone off and reported the extravagantly luxurious living of these coral-island missionaries; viz.: butter A. 1 or li. 2, white bread toast, moistened with roast beet from the tin can, wheat meal biscuit, tin of fresh grapes, tea and cm rat t pie with half dried apple." 'The missionaries seemed to have suitable', nourishing, palatable food, with nothing extravagant or luxurious, whether their supplies would hold out, j-nd be preserved in good condition a whole year or not, the deponent saith not. 'The almost unvarying climate has, I judge, more de'eterious effect on health than all other agencies combined. Morning prayer-meetings have been kept up for years at Ova, Ponape, and evening meetings too for instructing the youth in Bible history and character; in this way much good seed is sown and rooted. You ask the sort of preaching the missionaries give the natives. 'They repeat the" story of the cross; they preach " to them "the unsearchable riches of Christ," introducing as time admits the arts and usages, and the hopes and joys of the Christian life. At Ponape the people have had the gospel during a whole generation. Brother Doane told me that they are no more children, and therefore need something more than milk; he considers them of full age, and is feeding them with strong meat. Moses at his island, Manassa at his, and Brother Logan at his, have each induced the people about them to build long stone wharves out into the lagoon in order to lighten and expedite work at low tide; but they have also done other work, which, if put into the balances above, would far outweigh the former, although these landing places are exceedingly convenient and advantageous.

In the absence of His disciples, who had gone to the city to buy food, Ile had an interview with a woman of Samaria. On their return the disciples urged Him to eat of the food which they had brought. The Master answered: "My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me and to finish His work." To supply His physical wants was lost sight of for the moment as He thought of His high mission and the spiritual needs of humanity. Then as He surveyed the fields around Him, He asks : Say not ye, there are yet four months, and then cometh harvest ?" And as He sees the Samaritans coming from their city to meet Him, urged to this by the woman who had said: "Come, see a man who told me all things that ever I did; is not this the Chrjst ?" He directs these words to the disciples: " Behold, I say unto you, lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest." Continuing the illustration our Lord gives all Christian workers the encouraging assurance that they who are one with Him in sympathy and earnest and untiring effort shall be rewarded. "And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together." Then as He thinks of His own relation to The cause which He came to espouse and of theirs, He says: And herein is that saying true, One soweth and another reapeth." " " 1887. Prophets and messengers had heralded His coming. He Himself was the great Sower, and those coming after Him are privileged to go forth and gather in the harvest. "I sent you," He says to the disciples, "to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor; other men labored and ye are entered into their labors." Thus our Lord leads one woman to believe in Him as the promised Messiah. The seed that is sown grows up and results in a bountiful harvest of conversions. The sacred penman thus relates it in the Acts: "Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ unto them. And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. And there was great joy in that city." And this in turn prepared the way for the conversion of the gentiles. The saying, " One soweth and another reapeth," may be one found in some of the Greek writers. Similar proverbs were in use among the Jews It is possible that the reference may have been to the words of Joshua to Israel, which bear a striking resemblance to this saying of our Lord: I have given you a land for which ye did net labor and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell in them; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye planted not do ye eat." But whatever may be the source of the saying, it expresses a truth that is observable everywhere around us and which is verified by all history. To illustrate: One man, or a few men, are captivated by a great thought. The advocacy of it becomes the chief aim and ruling passion of their lives. At first men do not notice it, then laugh at it. But instead of dying an early death it has come to stay, advancing on its mission. Like the seed it has taken root; like leaven it works; the storm rages around it, but it lifts up its head; onward it goes, conquering and to conquer until eventually it shall with complete triumph be crowned. There have in every age been those whose mission it has been to sow in tears, that others might reap in j«y. Yes, herein is that saying true, One soweth and another reaptjth." The men of a " " 27 Number 4.* former century laid the solid and enduring foundation of the American Government, a government "of the people, by the people and for the people," on which the glorious edifice of that fine and prosper ous nation now rests. The people of today reap what those before them sowed. Others labored and they have entered into their labors. In the civil war thousands laid down theirlives, that the Nation might not die but live and take higher rank than ever before among the powers of the earth. Thus some sow the seed and others reap the harvest. In spiritual things the saying expresses the fact that the relation which the Christian sustains to the cause of Christ is one of work. In seasons of communion with God the spirit desires to linger in that high and holy atmosphere, even as the disciples longed to remain with their Master on the Mount t»f Transfiguration. But the summons is: To the work, to the work, we are servants of God, Let us follow the path that oar Master has trod. There are few successful business men who have not had care and toil for their partners. Men, who in the various departments of life have risen to success i have battled earnestly with the obstacles No Christian can overcome in the way. sin and triumph over temptation and his evil propensities without a struggle. The work to which God has called, us demands all our energies. No other work is so great or s 3 solemn. It burdened the soul of an apostle; it might tax the powers of an angel. There is a work which every one is to do for himself. There are besides duties that he owes to his fellowmen and to God. The Master had the right spirit for the work. He expressed it thus: "My meat is to do the will of Him that sent Me and to finish His work.'' Jesus had His whole heart in this work; it sustained and strengthened Him. But we get into ruts and do the work mechanically. Yet. not when we have to be forced to the work, but only when the heart is in it can we do acceptable and efficient service for the cause of Christ. It is admitted by all who profess the Christian religion that no other cause is so great or so deserving of our supreme efforts as the cause and Kingdom of Jesus. O, �THE 28 what great things God has wrought since Christ conversed at the well with the woman of Samaria I As we survey the fieldi which is the world, the facts are, that the Bible has been translated into all the principal languages and in many dialects. As on the Pentecostal day, so may the nations at this time say: "And now hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born." The Christian church not only has access to all parts of the earth, but we have to-day a multitude s>f missions established in every quarter of the globe. Everywhere the nations of the earth are opening their doors to receive the teachers and preachers of the Gospel. The calls from every part of the globe, are: " Come orer and help us!" Never have the encouragements to prayerful and increased endeavor been so great as they are ta day. A man who reaps his field considers himself awarded for his labor, because he lays up in his barns wealth which will support him through the years. But the Christian Church is now gathering from the fields of idolatry, ignorance and sin, " fruit until life eternal," a harvest of souls for the kingdom of glory. And the day is fast hastening when all the earth shall echo and re-echo Christ's triumph and reign over all the kingdoms of time. The three sisters, India, Siam and Laos; cultured and progressive Japan; China, of which it is said, that if all the people of all the world can be imagined as standing abreast, in a single line, so that they could just touch one another, that line would be about 500,000 miles long, long enough to reach around the earth twenty times, and if you could pass in front of that line and look on each face, at least one man in evary four you would see, would be a Chinaman;" Europe, our mother; Africa, where the march of events is so rapid, that the maps made yesterday are inaccurate to-day and will be obsolete to-morrow;" Syria, the country of the Savior's birth; pantheistic Persia; South America, with its pleading cry for help; our beloved America and the islands of the sea, evangelized and redeemed, shall all welcome Jesus, with thousands of souls saved by His love; the whole world shall see the promise of the Father" fulfilled, enjoy a great Pentecostal revival and shout the harvest home. That we may witness the realization of this plan of God for which the ages have longed we must watch the signs of the times, preach the gospel, be instant in season and out. of season, sow early and late, be filled with the Holy Spirit, bring " " " r\ t FRIEND. the offerings and tithes, consecrate entirely our souls and bodies and all to God and His cause, work with our might and invoke the cooperation of all others. We should pray and labor earnestly and without ceasing for the success of missionary efforts at home and abroad. in The fields are all ripening, and far and wide The world now is waiting the harvest tide; So come with your sickles, ye sons of men, And gather together the golden grain. It should be everyone's high resolve to be personally and actively identified with the great plans and movements of God. The invitation to share in the work here and in the rewards hereafter is extended to everyone, whether rich or poor, high or low. The cause of God is like a golden chain running through the centuries. If we will, we may by personal consecration and endeavor be a link in this great chain of divine accomplishment. The cause of God is like a costly and colossal edifice that is rising and advancing toward completion. In this work everyone is invited to take part, that soon the last stone maybe crowned with the smile of the Lord's approval. As time is measured by days and hours, so is there a division of labor and to every man is assigned his share and work in the Ringdon of God. And when the toil of time shall be ended and the rewards of the future bestowed the sower and the reaper shall together rejoice. OUR AGENCIES FOR GOD AND HUMANITY. The modern temperance movement is rapidly and successfully making its way into all circles of influence. The latest papers from our own State, Michigan, are full of the earnest efforts put forth to carry on the 4th instant, the prohibitory amendment to the Constitution, which has been passed by a large majority by the House and the Senate, and of which the following is the text: That the manufacture, gift, or sale of spirituous, malt, or vinous liquors in the State, except for medicinal, mechanical, chemical, or scientific " purposes, is prohibited; That the Legislature shall enact laws with suitable penalties for the suppression of the manufacture, sale, and keeping forsale or gift of intoxicating liquors except as specified; and That the said proposition shall be submitted to the electors of the State at the next spring election, to take place on the first Monday in April, A. D. 1887." " " The plan, at all points heard from, was to make March a month of ceaseless labor to carry the day for the amendment in April. Writes a leading clergyman in the State: "Let our March with its clouds and bluster anticipate the sunny days of April in every best sense. The whole i •» M country is looking at Michigan. What we do in March and in early April, for the prohibition of that traffic which is cursing our homes, will not only tell upon us and upon our children but upon the whole land." We notice that men and women are united in this endeavor to protect the home. From the beginning the temper ance movement has had the individed support of pure, noble-hearted, philan thropic ladies. We invite attention in this number of Thk Friend to The Woman's Christian Temperance Union. This organization is the outgrowth of the Woman's Temperance Crusade of 1873. It was born of faith and its devel opment has been truly marvelous. It numbers in the States more than Its leaders are among 200,000 women. the grandest women of this age or of any other. The national president Miss Frances K. Willard commands the respect and admi ration of all good men and women everywhere. Her name is a household word in thousands of homes and none know her but to love and honor her. Unions have been formed in every State and almost every town in the United States. "The object ol this organization is to educate public opinion up to the standard of total abstinence, train the young; save the inebriate and secure the legal prohibition and complete banishment of the liquor traffic." Two efficient women have been sent out by the National Union to lecture and organize unions. Mrs. Mary C. Leavitt, westward, and Miss Charlotte Grey, eastward. Mrs. Leavitt so fitly called our-round the-world ambassador is now in China. Success has marked her progress as she has gone from one country to another. It will be remembered by the people of Honolulu that this lady was in this city in the fall of 1884, lecturing on temperance and before her departure for the Colonies, a union was organized, called: "The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of the Hawaiian Islands." It began with about forty ladies and has increased to about 75 active members with an honorary membership of fifteen or twenty. The officers of this W. C. T. U. are the President, Mrs. J. M. Whitney; Vice Presidents, Mrs. J. A. Cruzan, Mrs. E. C. Oggel, Mrs. E. VV. Jordan; Recording Secretary, Mrs. R. Jay Greene; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. W. C. Merritt; Treasurer, Mrs. L. B. Coan. We have several departments of work and an efficient lady is at the head of each department. Work among Hawaiians has been successfully carried on by Miss Mary Green. She has organized nineteen societies with a membership of 1,019. Their blue ribbon society meets in Queen Emma Hall on every Friday even- �THE FRIEND. April, 1887.] ing. On Saturday evenings the foreign blue nbboners meet in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. The exercises of both Societies are of the same general character. The badge of the W. C. T. U. is the white ribbon and many of our members wear the white and the blue. Another department of great importance is the juvenile work. This society numbers about sixty. Their ages range from five to fourteen. The nationalities represented are American, English, Scandanavian, Portuguese and German. There is some good work done in the Sunday Schools. Much temperance literature is distributed at different places, but chiefly among sailors. There have been gospel temperance meetings held on the wharves and one on shipboard. Through the efforts of the Union the Health Primer has been translated into Hawaiian and is now in process of printing and when completed will be introduced into all the Government schools as a text-book. Temperance will thus be taught the children and the evil effects of alcohol impressed upon them. More than sixteen thousand leaflets have been printed in the native language. The society has expended in carrying on its work the past year over five hundred dollars. And they hope to accomplish in the present year much more in this grand work. "For God and Home and Human- a precious truth and many a great and noble cause. He went to Brooklyn in September, 1847. From that time his fame as a preacher has been world-wide. He has held one of the largest congregations on the continent by his personal magnetism and his pulpit power, in spite of the declaration of theological errors which would have shocked that grand old theologian, his sainted father, Lyman Beecher. Lightly let the ashes lie upon his mouldering body. He was a man, take him for all in all; we shall not look upon his like again." To this we would add that the Brooklyn Magazine contains some of Mr. Beecher's latest sermons, one of which closes thus: I see coming a new heaven and a new earth, grander views and higher experiences. We cannot foresee, we do not know what is going to happen; but one thing we do know, that ('.od reigns, and that the true light has been so far disclosed that no raven wing can sweep it back again. Once let the sun come over the east and you cannot stop it; it will ride triumphant through the whole day, shining brighter and brighter to the end. The rising light of knowledge; the rising light of true religion; the rising light of liberty and regenerative manhood has come, it has come to stay; and the whole earth shall see the salvation of our God. " EDITORIAL NOTES. ity." HENRY WARD BEECHER. It seems strange that this man of fine physical frame and seemingly inexhaustible mental resources is no longer among men. Mr. Beecher has been so long and prominently before the public that any sketch of his life would be to write what everybody already knows. We make room however for the following tribute from the correspondent of The Occident, San Francisco: The Henry Ward Beecher of forty years ago was a widely different man in many respects from the pastor of Plymouth Church, and yet he was noted then for some of the peculiarities that have marked his subsequent career. He would often say and do things that were a sore trial to the more conservative members of his flock. But he was so genial, so frank and at times even so spiritual and devout that they readily forgave him. A mother in Israel, the oldest member of the church, used to say to me, "Henry did a great many things that I didn't think were right, but after all I believe that he is a good man." This is, no doubt, the verdict of a large part of the Christian world to-day, as the great preacher lies in his coffin. He was eccentric. He startled us now and then with the announcement of some heresy in doctrine, but after all we could not help loving him for his sincerity and for his manly utterances in behalf of many The darkest hour is when you can't find the matches. The Musicale at Oahu College on the evening of March Bth, was largely attended and a great success. Says Archbishop Whately: If our reli- gion is not true, we are bound to change it; if it is true we are bound to propagate it. For want of space, articles on the new Friend building, Japanese young men,and much other matter must lay over till next month. The editorial room in the new Friend building besides furnishing abundant light, is comfortable and answers all present needs. The Journal of Education is of the opinion that there is no way in which so much influence can be wielded as through the school-room. Mr. J. T. Waterhouse, Sr. and wife returned to this city, March 9th, by the Australia. Mr. Waterhouse is much benefited in health by his visit to the Coast. All Y. M. C.

After briefly reviewing Mr. Booth's work for the last ten years Mr. Cruzan says:"The open secret of this man's success lies in these four characteristics: In the cross; in his courage and enthusiasm; in the value he puts upon humanity and in his love for men." Mr. Booth is stopping at the Occidental. "He is open," says The Pacific, "to engagements for work and we hope will soon and long be employed on this coast." On Sabbath evening, March 13th, after the service, it was our privilege to meet at Mr. F. W. Damon's house, on Chaplain Lane, the Rev. E. R. Fulkerson and wife of Guide Rock, Nebraska, whose destination, under the M. E. Board of New York, is Yokohama, Japan, and Miss E. C.

A big storm was encountered, which brought snow lower down on Mauna Loa than snow had ever before been seen by Kau residents to reach; took refuge in a bullock hunter's camp for 40 hours; dreaded to go up into the snow; wanted to turn back, but finally started for the summit; tethered the horses at an altitude of 6,600 feet amid bunch grass and strawberry vines, ascended the mountain obliquely, passing from the east side round to the south-west and striking Mokuaweoweo on the west side; spent 12 mortal hours of toiling over the dreadful aa, every step of which awful pedestrianism was at the peril of a sprained ankle; was compelled one night to sleep on the sharp aa; struck snow at 11,000 feet, the crust of which held up and made good walking; reached Pele Kahuku, the upper Mauna Loa outcropping of the late flow, 11,500 ft. above sea level; there was deep snow beneath and all around; Kanae stops and makes coffee while I go off a mile to the west and examine Pele Kahuku.

Amid sulphur fumes and darkness I hustle into sleeping bag, with head at the crater, 500 feet deep; lie quiet a while in the utter stillness, when all at once there is an earthquake, and still lie quiet and pray to God; we know somewhat how Moses felt when " the whole mount quaked greatly," and during the night do more of moon watching and thinking than sleeping. "Htle au ma Mokuaweoweo. Hele oe?" I call out from my bag at day break, to which Kanae replies: "Aole hana wav coffee." And so with* a swallow of alcohol and a bite of snow for interior stimulation, my hands in buckskin gloves and two pairs of woolen socks drawn over them for outside protection, make I my way towards the pillar of smoke ahead, reaching the brink of Mokuaweoweo, not long after sunrise and looking down into its thousand feet depth, I see at once that the floor of the crater, near where I slept so comfortably more than a year ago, has been rent and a fissure formed about four feet wide, beginning near the middle, extending towards and disappearing underthe western wall; tbe column of smoke issues from this fissure and fresh lava that has been thrown up, lines and distinctly defines its edges. The remarkable mineral vein which so greatly interested me last year seems to have been broken into and partly taken up by the fissure. �Volume 45, No. 4.] THE FRIEND. 31 Mrs. Oilman read an excellent article Society will be he'd at Kawaiahao' SemiDid we make the descent of the crater ? nary, and this will be the first gathering of Of course not; that were a task which with on Alaska at the February meeting.

Edward P. Baker. Hilo, Hawaii, March 9th, 1887. QUARTERLY REPORT OF THE WOMAN'S BOARD. The meetings for the last three months have been well attended and exceedingly interesting. Sixty-six ladies were present in January; fifty-three in February and thirty-six in March. At the January meeting Mrs. F. VV. Damon's report of work among the Chinese during their recent tour around Oahu, gave us much light upon the present condition of the people. They found much that reminded them of China. Worship of idols and burning of incense was common in many homes. Many of the women were very homesick. Those having small feet were kept mostly at home and were longing to go back to China. Mrs. Damon's loving words and kind instructions were cordially received. In this city, the little chapel has been rebuilt in the burnt district. Miss M. E. Green reported on work among Hawaiians. She has now six Bible readers; and she herself visits from house to house among the people. With this free access to their homes, she learns much of their condition—some things good and encouraging; some bad and heart- sickening. Business was transacted with reference to a lady physician, Miss Dr. Ingersoll, who wishes to go as a missionary to Mi- cronesia. At the February meeting Miss Knight read a letter from Miss Cathcart, now at her home in Minnesota. Her health has somewhat improved, but her physicians doubt whether she can expect to return to Micronesia. and work of Robert Moffat. At both January and February meetings the ladies were addressed by Mrs. A. H. Smith of North China. With her husband and children she spent a few weeks here while on their way home to China. Her topic in January was, "The connection between missionary and medical work in China." Those who know Mrs. Smith's lively and interesting manner will understand what a treat we had. In February she told us how the money was being raised for building their chapel, now nearly completed. Their first donation from abroad was from the little band of Hawaiian women, who meet weekly for prayer, at Kaw'aiahao church. Hearing from Mrs. Dickenson, about the work of her daughter in China, they sent six dollars as a donation. The astonishment of the poor Chinese women on the recep tion of this money from this far away land, was wonderful. Mrs. Smith gave many touching incidents of the way in which they had been helped. After the meeting was closed, each lady present felt that she must have a share in this good cause, and twenty-three dollars was placed in Mrs. Smith's hands. The story spread and before Mrs. Smith sailed $120 was in her hands for the chapel. Further contributions will follow them. Among the reports of Committees concerning home work, was an interesting account given by Mrs. S. M. Damon, of a day spent at Kawaiahao Seminary, in company with Mrs. E. O. Hall. Responses are coming to the Committee appointed to make special appeals, for means to secure Miss Dr. Ingersoll for Micronesia, and we hope the way is being made clear for us to assume her support. Miss Ingersoll is now in California. Cornelia A. Bishop, Recording Secretary. JUBILEE ANNIVERSARY. Editor of the Friend:—April ioth 1887, will be the fiftieth anniversary of the arrival at these Islands of the largest missionary reinforcement ever sent by the, A. B. C. F. M. to this or any field. Thirty-two consecrated men and women composed that party, and their influence upon the religious and moral life of these Islands was powerful for good. The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society are planning to celebrate this jubilee anniversary; to that end they have invited all the fathers and mothers of the mission of the American Board to these Islands, who are still resident here, to gather with them on that occasion, and fittingly keep this semi-centennial anniversary of that historic event. A detailed programme has not yet been prepared, but the general plan has been arranged. On Saturday evening, April 9th, the regular monthly meeting of the preach. The Board of Managers have not yet planned for further servii es on that day, although to do so may seem desirable. On Monday, April n, there will be a general gathering of all interested, on the grounds of Oahu College. The day will be spent in social reunion and listening to pa])ers, especially prepared by the honored survivors of the mission. It is hoped that the occasion will receive the attention such an event deserves, and the "Cousins" resident in Honolulu will gladiy welcome the "Cousins" resident upon the other Islands, and it is safe to say that no one will lack for entertainment who comes to attend these services.

The annual meeting was held March 9 th, and Hon. A. F. Judd and W. W. Hall were re-elected Deacons, P. C. Jones and J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., were re-elected members of the Standing Committee, and W. W. Hall was re-elected Clerk and Treasurer. The Sunday School is officered as follows: C. M. Cooke, Superintendent; W. W. Hall, Assistant; Miss Margaret Hopper, Superintendent of Primary Department, and E. A. Jones, Treasurer and Librarian. Miss Frances Johnson has charge of the Fowler's yard schools for the coming year, and Mrs. McCully will conduct the evangelistic services on Monday evenings in the yard as heretofore. Thursday evening, March io, the Church and congregation met with the Ladies' Benevolent Society for the annual sociable. The reports read showed all departments of Church work during the past year well sustained. The Treasurer's report showed a total collection for mission work during the past year of $1,727.95. To this should be added $346.40 contributed by the children in the Sunday School, which makes the totalfor missions by the congregation $2,070.35. This, of course, makes no account of what has been given privately by our members. There has been a gratifying increase in the attendance at the Sunday School, and the retiring Superintendent, Mr. Atherton, has proved his efficiency in that arduous position. The Fowler's yard mission is in an especially prosperous and promising condition. These reports have been published in a neat pamphlet, and copies mailed to all ' �April,1887.

Moses was the minister, he told them of the one, only living and true God, who was the only object worthy of their love and adoration; he is the great Creator of all worjds and of all human beings of whatever nation or country; be made the earth, and the sea and all that in them is; he told them he is our father and your father, the father of all people, and although you have strayed away from him, he is ready to take you, Rukites, all of you, back into his family, and make you very happy both here and hereafter. While we were at Ruk Brother Logan preached to the few foreigners about him, (as he does every Sabbath afternoon when at home,) a choice, simple, plain gospel sermon. Interspersed and beautified as that genuine archipelago is with many isles, in time its beauties must and will be still greater if such labors continue to be bestowed upon it. 'Three mission families resided and labored assiduously " eight years of night " on the island of Ponape before the darkness gave way and a 'single convert appeared to cheer them in their work and to cause angelic joy in the blessed world above.

Listen again to the Ponape official, who was once a man of blood, now a man of prayer, sitting as a lamb among his people, and hear him as he enters Church to attend a preparatory lecture, asking pardon of another church member for having used some hard unbrotherly words to him and see the two completely reconciled, and then tell me whether or not you believe that God will justify those heathen through faith in Jesus Christ. Do you think the people can ever go back again into idolatry and its kindred evils ? Certainly they cannot, and be ignorant of the fact " that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God." 'The missionaries, native s>nd foreign, are pressing on with their work. In it neither will they or the chiefest among ten thousand ever despair, believing as they do that great truth, Christ for the world and the world for Christ." In closing I will speak of the Morning Star. Have the people great reason to feel that they have been cheated in her ? Yes ! Her sailing capacity is not equal to that of some of her predecessors, and her steam pawer, instead of being seven knots per hour, (as was promised by her builders,) is not over five and she cannot make headway against a strong current or head wind ; it is really ef use only when calms prevail, or you wish an entrance or exit from a labyrinthian lagoon passage, or to wind about among numerous coral shoals, 1 scattered all over such atoll lakes. might also speak of other imperfections, you have heard of them, but I do not like to dwell upon this topic. A chapter of accidents naturally follows these assertions Dec. 3, main gaff-neck broke off; 29, carried away fore-top-gallant trestle-tree. Jan. 26, p. m. ran on to a coral shoal; (the 2d day following got afloat again in the morning). March 11, a boiler tube failed us, as many others had done, and did afterwards on the voyage; 19, main gaff iion broke; " : 33 the prayer, which the entire Mortlock and Ruk congregations repeat at the close of every meeting: "O God, Great Spirit, who made heaven and earth and all in them; we praise thee that thou hast kept us alive; that thou hast enlightened us; that thou hast fed us; and for teaching us to-day. Wilt thou forgive our sins; send the Holy Spirit into our hearts, cause us to know thy words; help us to obey; shield us from evil; continually dwell in our hearts; make.us to love one another; hasten the kingdom of Jesus in all the earth; hear our prayer for the sake of the Savior, Jesus Christ.

BUSINESS MEETING. Despite the storm and counter attrac- tions, the regular monthly meeting was held on the evening of March 17th, President Bowen in the chair. Some of the Committees failed t» be represented by their chairman but the reports presented were of an encouraging nature. The meetings had been well nttended and tbe other privileges of the association enjoyed by the usual number. It was with verygreat regret that the association accepted the resignation of Mr. T. S. Southwick as treasurer, to take effect April 9th. Mr. Southwick has performed the duties of this important office most faithfully during the past year and a half, and resigns only because of a change of residence to the States. The President appointed Messrs. Atherton, Bidwell and Crozier, a committee on nomination to prepare a list of names to be submitted for the election of officers at the annual meeting. Five new members were received, two voting and three associate. Y. M. C. A. BOYS. The last meeting was well attended and very interesting. The subject under consideration was temperance. An excellent paper was prepared and read by James Judd on alcohol, and another by Hiram Bingham on Mr. Booth's work in our city. The President, Mrs. W. C. Merritt, gave an instructive address on the effects of alcohol, illustrated by some very practical experiments that must have given to the truths expressed a life-long clinch on the minds of the youthful listeners. The subject for next Thursday's meeting is "Switzerland." FAITHFULNESS. " Faithful to business," is the boasted motto of many a man who makes the things of this world the goal of all his endeavor, forgetful that there is a business fur God and eternity that has been placed first in point of time and importance by One who knew whereof he spoke, and to whom we shall have to account f >r any disregard of his word or work. Faithfulness to a business calling is not an attainment to be disparaged, but it is not the end ol life, praise-worthy as it may be; it is only one ol the means to a desired end, the scope and importance of which cannot be estimated by any bank account or ledger showing. Faithfulness cannot be claimed as a possessed virtue by those who frequently substitute a flimsy excuse for a promised action—or, what is worse, an unexplained absence for a pledged presence. Moral obligations are no tinsel decorations that may be put on or off at our merest pleasure. They are cords that should bind us inseparably together, and hold us to the performance of duty. Faithfulness to trusts we have accepted and to the moral obligations which we sustain to those with whom we are associated in business or christian effort will go a long way toward making up that faithfulness to Grd which is an essential element in the christian character. The lack of this will prove a defect that eternity will be too short to remedy. Divinely recognized faithfulness is the highest attainable honor outside the real kingdom of Christ, and is an essential His requisite to an entrance therein. lord said unto him: Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Mat. 25:21, 30. Hon. A. F. Judd presided at the exer cises which he opened with a short but appropriate address of welcome to friends present. Brief speeches were also made by Messrs. W. O. Smith, Henry Water house, F. VV. Damon, Rev. H. H. Parker, Hon. C. R. Bishop, Messrs. Taro Ando (Japanese Consul), Kalaukoa and S. D. Fuller. The opening prayer was offered by Rev Waiwaiole, and the dedicatory prayer by Rev. C. M. Hyde. Excellent music for the occasion was furnished by the Kawai ahao and Kaumakapili church choirs. The exercises were exceedingly interesting although not entirely understood by every one present, as three languages were spoken during the evening, Hawaiian, Japanese and English. The jooibs, doorways and windows were all full of attentive, enthusiastic list eners, who not only showed their appreci ation of the things heard, but later, as they passed through the building, expressed themselves highly gratified with the pleasant horne—like appearance of this new HAWAIIAN BRANCH. resort for Hawaiian young men.

During that time his ministrations were crowned of God with two revivals of religion. As a result of these awakenings about sixty persons were added to the Chord). The year 1875, has for the l'astor added anil abiding interest from the fact that it saw him married to Mrs. Cruzan. Leaving Williamspoit the last week in December, Mr. Cruzan at the opening oi 1876, America's Centennial year, took charge of the Church at East Weymouth, Mass. The Church there conferred a call but was for reasons satisfactory to Mr. Cruzan declined and though the call was conferred anew, it was not accepted. The work however was continued there for a year and crowned with the Divine approval. Mr. Cruzan was then called to the First Congregational Church of Portland, Oregon. The call was accepted and the pastoral work assumed there in February, 1877. The Portland Church then had on the roll 154 members. The Pastoral relation there continued till November, ISSI, and was Divinely blessed with two revivals of religion; being crowned in addition by a revival, resulting from union services with the Y. M. C. A., which continued for several weeks. When Mr. Cruzan ceased his ministerial relations at Portland, the membership roll of the Chuich numbered 260, an increase of 112 members. From that field of endeavor and visible results Mr. Cruzan came to this city. Id August of 1 SSi, dining his annual vacation, accompanied by Mrs. Cruzan, he visited Honolulu. The Fort Street Church was then without a Pastor and Mr. Cruzan was invited to preach. His services proved at once acceptable and he was called to assume the pastorate. The field was certainly an inviting one. The Fort Street Church has always been one of numerical and financial strength, of commanding influence as a moral power in the community and a wideawake aggressive organization in the direction of mission work at home and abroad. When Mr. Cruzan came to this Church in the latter part of 1881, he arrived at an opportune time and began his labors under M. L. the most favorable auspices.

Cruzan, Pastor of the Fort Street Church in this city, has been a minister of the Christian religion for sixteen years. He graduated from the Congregational Theological Seminary in Chicago with the class of IS7I, in April of that year. Previous to his graduation he received a call from the Congregational Church at St. Charles, Illinois, where he began to preach in January, 1871. The call was accepted and Mr. Cruzan was ordained to the ministry of the Oospel and installed as Pastor in September of that year. Mr. Cruzan's labors there covered exactly three years; he resigning, and terminating his work in St. Charles the last week in December, 1573. The impelling motive in requesting a severance of the pastoral relation was that he might go East to attend a course of lectures in Boston and continue his studies to become better qualified for the work of the ministry. But while "man proposes, God disposes." This proved true in Mr. Cruzan's case, for when en route East he stopped at Hudson, Ohio, and was prevailed upon to supply the Church at Ravenna for a season, where he labored for four months, from January until April, inclusive, 1874. From that place he was called to Williamsport, Pa., where he arrived in May. While Mr. Cruzan did not accept the ca'l, he felt that the people there were not only in need of pulpit and pastoral work, but also that there was a strong desire that he should minister to them. He complied 35 The Friend. NUMBKR 5bored with Mojdy, arrived here the first week in August, and under his ringing Gospel appeals, Christians were aroused and large numbers entered upon a new life. It was during the progress of this season of refreshing in spiritual things that Mr. and Mrs. Cruzan arrived. Dr. Damon through 'I'm: Fkii.nii thus cordially welcomed them to this city: "It is peculiarly pleasant to welcome these strangers as fellow-laborers. They have had experience in seasons of religious awakening and have entered the field in Honolulu in the most satisfactory manner. It has been our privilege to hear the Cospel faithfully preached by Mr. Cruzan and in the inquiry-room his labors are admirably suited to the occasion, while Mrs. Cruzan's voice in the choir has been equally effective in the ministry of song.' For two years we were associated with Mr. Cruzan as editors of Tut: Friend and for nearly three years we have been Pastors of sister Churches in this city. We have met in the social circles of Honolulu, exchanged pulpits and labored together during the Week of Prayer and in Evangelistic and Gospel Temperance work. On Sunday, the 20th of February, Mr. Cruzan resigned the Pastorate of the Fort Street Church, the resignation to take effect at the end of August, which will close a six years' ministry in Honolulu, abundant in labors for the Kingdom of Cod and the best interests of men. These labors are outlined in the following memorial 1 tions, presented at a meeting of the fort Street Church and congregation, Wednesday evening, March 30th, 1887, by the committee appointed to draft a reply to the Pastor's letter of resignation, and unanimously adopted Wheras, Rev. J. A. Cruzan has tendered the resignation of his office as Pastoi of the fort Street Church, Honolulu. Hawaiian Islands, and the Church and Society have, with regret, accepted the same, they desire to and do hereby put upon record the following as an express ion of their regard, and of the appreciation they have of the character of their Pastor and of the value of the services he has rendered to this Church and people.

In his efforts to helpfully reach and win the young people he has labored most effectually, and the numerous additions from this to the Church, as well as the large and active Society of Christian Endeavor are among the trophies of his ministry here. Ami this Church recalls with gratitude the constant and sustained activity put forth on his part to reach the neglected ass of this ity, striving to draw and keep them within the influence of the Gospel. And in this connection it would bear glad testimony to the high esteem and honor in which Mr. Cruzan has been held during these years by all classes of people, winning their confidence ami favor, and known lo all as a manly man as truly as a minister of Christ in till his intercourse and conversation with them, In the in >re personal and delicate office of Pa .tor, we shall always remember that < with tender love he bus ministered to us in the Gospel in out joys and in our sorrows.

His presence in our homes has always been a welcome one, and our children will lose a personal friend as truly as will their parents. And we cannot refrain from including here an expression of the love and admiration of this people for Mrs. Cruzan, who has so lovingly antl tenderly added her ministrations and labors to those of her husband, and expressing the deep and heartfelt regret and sense of loss which this community feels as truly in losing her as her husband. In parting we shall bid them God-speed, and pray that the Almighty Father may continue His favoring blessing towards them, and that wherever He shall call them to labor in His service, they may reap an increasingly abundant harvest for their Master. UNITY. The genial editor of the Anglican Chronicle in the April number of that publication makes a plea for unity. The editor's proposition is that the Fort Street and Bethel Union Churches shall disband and become one with the Anglican Church. The common basis of agreement is to be Episcopacy, which is made a sine qua non " side of " The Church " are dissenters " or "schismatics." The platform is certainly not a broad or liberal one, but there it is. We feel disposed to thank the editor for the kind invitation and his willingness that we should all be sheltered under the Cathedral roof. The editor seems to labor under the impression that such union would be of advantage to the Fort Street and Bethel Union congregations for they would then be in "The Church." Now the amusing part of this " Church " affair is—and it is decidedly amusing—that while the Anglican Church is preaching its little sermon to us, " We are 'The Church' and you arc prodigals and wanderers," the Raman Catholic Church is all the time pn ching that same little sermon to the Anglican Church. We should therefore, in case we '.vent, on arriving at the Anglican Church not feel as if we had reached our place ot destination, but rather as if we had come to the ecclesiastical half way house, and we verily believe that not a month wot,ld have elapsed after the un'on, when there would be a communication from hi* reverence the Bishop of Oiba to this effect, " Beloved, erring children Delude not yourselves with the idea that ye are The Church. The Roman Catholic Church alone is the Church. Therefore, ye prodigals and sinners, come home. The Anglican Cathedral, which has been in an unfinished state these nineteen years or more, is still in statu quo. Ours is a spacious edifice and complete. Repent, ye heretics, of your past doings and ye shall have full absolution. ' Verbum sat sapicnti.' The Anglican bishop shall Deo volentc have a vacation of indefinite duration in his native England and I will house you and take care of you all. Tria juncta in uno! Utcunque placucrit Deo." Seriously we would say first—Let it be settled between the Anglican and Catholic bodies as to whether either cf these is alone The Church and if si which one. Both cannot be The Church, and two cries of The Church with the emphasis on Tut". tend to confusion. : : : Again We would say kindly, yet with some emphasis, that a proposal for unity, coming from a Church which starts out by unchurching all other religious organizations, can never have great weight, and would emanate with better grace and produce profounder impression from one of thereligious bodies, which at the observance Master's table. Finally: We believe in unity. It is necessary. There should be no divisions jn the household of faith. " But what is called Episcopacy is with us not of central or pivotal importance. In fact, leaving the argument untouched, our religious belief finds its truest expression in rites of worship few and simple; in a ritual without a prayer-book and a Church without a bishop. " Then, unity is not external or mechanical, but spiritual. The essence of unity is Love, and unity itself will be 11 at bed as thought contemplates and affection circles around the Person if Christ and He is exalted among us, and we grow in Him in holy emotions and heaven-born graces, in clear conceptions cf right, fidelity to duty and labors of love, "till we all attain unto the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God." The secret of unity is therefore not—nor ever will be—in Episcopacy, but in likeness to the Personality and Character of the Christ of Cod. " " EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. F. W.

So this gathering has seemed to have been most providentially inaugurated, and most kindly smiled upon by Providence in the happy carrying out of well appointed details, that have made it one of the pleasantest gatherings ever held in Honolulu. It was a pleasing coincidence that the regular monthly meeting of the Cousins fell this year on the 9th of April, as near the full of the moon as possible, and that the place of that meeting was on historic mission ground. Under the shadow of the old stone church, having the old depository in view, within a stone's throw of the first frame house ever erected on these islands, and the hospitable home of scores of missionaries on their arrival here, hard by Father Castle's, whose parlor was the first Sabbath schoolroom for mission children, and still retaining on its grounds the mission printing house and the dwelling that was, by turns, the home of the Shepherds, the Judds, Armstrongs, Clarkes and Gulicks, stands Kawaiahao Seminary, itself an outgrowth of missionary effort and a monument to the early and continued interest of the Cousins' Society in the education of native girls. Its courteous corps of teachers welcomed the Society to its halls on the evening of the 9th. Artistic decorations in varied tropic foliage, with spears antl arrows of heathen warfare, covered the walls of the spacious dining room, while a fine upright piano, late gift of Castle tS: Cooke to the Seminary, a convenient platform for president's chair and desk, and comfortable arrangement of seats for the members and their guests made an attractive spot for the first in the series of our Jubilee meetings. It was a precious keynote that was struck when we joined in the hymn: - be the tie thru binds " Blest Our hearts in Christian love." This was followed by choice words of welcome from Mrs. Merritt. Then, in order, came able papers in the Maile," letters from absent members and valuable discussions relative to new reinforcements for Christian work among the Hawaiians. All closed by the time-honored custom of singing a verse of the missionary hymn, " From Greenland's icy mountains." The two congregations of Fort Street Church and the Bethel Union united on the following Sabbath evening in their attendance upon the second Jubilee meeting, at which Rev. Dr. Hyde presided. No text could have been more fitly chosen than these words, "The Lord our God be with us, as He was with our fathers." The preacher, Rev. W. B. Oleson, drew a sad but truthful contrast between the former generation of Hawaiians and the present; that listened with glad acceptance to Gos- " pel truth; this turns with indifference from �38 spiritual things to things present and perishing. Yet the fault is not theirs alone. They are too much left to themselves in their downward trend. There should he more faith, more courage, more persistent work and consecrated workers among the Christians of this and the homeland; and together we should meet the duty which the God of our fathers lays upon us to enlist with self-sacrificing spirits in earnest efforts to revive the soul life of the nation. Any one passing the grounds of Oahu College on Monday afternoon, A|.ril nth, might well have been attracted by the animated scene under the many featheryleaved and broad-spreading branches of Here and there were the algerobas. houses and carriages; little groups of happy children played about,—but the central object was the large lanai upon the lawn. Here, for a third time gathered those who so richly shared in this " Reinforcement—of—37 " Jubilee. Upon the platform, with President Merritt, were the white-haired veterans, Father Castle, Mr. Edward Bailey, Dr. Lowell Smith, and Dr. J. W. Smith of Kauai. Immediately in front, in comfortable arm chairs and rockers, were the dear mothers, Mrs. Castle, Mrs. Cooke, Mrs. Damon, Mrs. Emerson, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Rice— Cousins " and friends filled the remaining space, for three hours, lending pleased attention to the varied exercises. These were opened with the doxology, and prayer by Dr. L. Smith. President Merritt in kindly words of welcome and explanation then greeted the society and their honored guests, and programme in hand, called to the platform in order as their turn came, the readers of memorial papers and papers of reminiscences. A charming social hour followed the literary exercises. The bountiful repast ofcold meats, salads, rolls, coffe and cake, prepared and served as Honolulu ladies so excel in doing, was " justly appreciated by appetites quickened by three hours of out-door air. Adjournment from the lanai to the parlors of the college came in good time to escape a heavy, grateful shower from Manoa valley. A brilliantly lighted chandelier, heavily draped with graceful ferns, a mass of pink begonias bedded in leaves, the portraits of Rev. H. Bingham, the pioneer, and of Rev. Titus Coan, one of Hawaii's most devoted apostles garlanded with m.iile, and the words, "1837, Mary Frazier, ISS7" in large lettering of evergreens showed that skillful hands and loving hearts had sought to make the pleasant parlors still more pleasant for this rare gathering. With patient, yet deeply interested attention were the remaining exercises of the programme carried out, until the lateness of the hour compelled the close of this Jubilee, long to be remembered—an occasion of which a visitor from beyond the sea has said, it alone was worth the long journey to participate in. Of the seventeen numbers on the programme we do not attempt to make mention, more than to say that as we listened [May, 1887.

OUR CHINESE INVASION. By Rev. W. B. Oleson. There is a restless spirit abroad in the world to-day not unlike that which characterized the westward movement of nations in the early days of Christianity. Primitive Christianity had barely permeated Roman thought with its new faith and Roman life with its new spirit when it was called upon to stem the onset of the barbaric hordes of northern and eastern Europe. It was a crucial time, one of those crises through which Christianity however has uniformly passed triumphant. The same assertive and absorbent power of our religion is manifest to-day in the religious amalgamation of the various nationalities who have sought a home in the United States. There is a modern migration of races and it is as assuredly under Providential supervision as that earlier migration of nations which gave to the world our Anglo-Saxon type of Christian faith and practice. And there is quite as little occasion now for pessimistic views as to the religious outlook for nominally Christian communities subjected to the strain of assimilating a large alien population of irreligious or positively heathen antecedents as there was when the vandals thronged the streets of Rome and changed its civilization in a day. To be sure, it is doubtful whether in the present movement of races, Anglo-Saxon Christianity is put to a severer strain in maintaining its supremacy than right here in the Hawaiian Kingdom. So great is the emergency and so perplexing are the problems confronting us, that not a fewhave been led into a sort of semi-pessimism as regards thought and action alike. This is unfortunate for it paralyzes effort and puts our common faith at a disadvantage before the persistent heathenism of the East now domiciled among us. It is moreover ill-advised since there is really no sufficient reason fur dismay at lbeap| arent establishment in our midst of a heathen philosophy of life. It is altogether likely that our Islands will afford shelter for heathen belief and practice for many years yet. But it does not follow tha» heathenism will make any substantial growth or even hold its own before a pure and aggressive Christianity. Where are the converts to Chinese heathenism ? Where are the signs of any attempt to propagate Chinese heathenism? the signs that Chinese heathen- ism is holding its own ? We know of not a few converts from Chinese heathenism to Christianity. We know that Chinese half caste children and their mothers do not break away from Hawaiian Christianity. We know that so far as any change of religion has resulted from the contact of Chinese with Hawaiians it has not been Hawaiians who have become heathen but the Chinese whohave become Christians. But the fact which is most significant is that our Christian civilization is certainly modifying Chinese prejudice; and thus promoting the cause of mission-work among them. It goes without saying that a Chinaman is more accessible to Gospel effort here in Honolulu than in Hongkong. Prof. Phelps once remarked that in all great moral conflicts minorities have won. A minority compacted by the cohesion of high moral purposes is a force that easily dominates mere numbers. In this lies the power of our Christian institutions, agencies and society notwithstanding the large influx of Chinese. But in the total effect of Christianity on all heathen beliefs among us we must recognize fully the numerical strength of Christianity. We must not ignore the power and presence of the Roman Catholic Church with its large body of Portuguese and Hawaiian adherents. We may deplore the type of Christianity thus presented, but we cannot deny that it is a formidable foe to any heathen faith, and we should gladly recognize the fact that Portuguese Christianity is more likely to take on an evangelical vitality in the presence of our preponderant Protestantism than it is to suffer any serious loss by contact with Oriental heathenism. The present era of indifferentism among our Protestant Hawaiian Christians betokens no real decadence of intellectual conviction and belief but rather a lack of spiritual life only. To all intents and purposes our Hawaiian community is Occidental rather than Oriental in its predilections. Apparently Hawaiian life has taken on none of the distinctive characteristics of Chinese life, while on the contrary, our Chinese community has been less conservative, adapting itself readily to the situation as it has found it in our outlying districts, if not in Honolulu. It is nothing to the point what the reasons have been, that have induced this adaptation to surroundings. The fact is significant that notwithstanding the historic conservatism of the Chinese, the drift towards a community of interest between Hawaiians and Chinese is from the latter rather than from the former. In this connection, it is a notable fact that so many Chinese have been introduced to the Christian life through the instrumentality of the Hawaiian language. It is one of the most hopeful indications regarding the religious future of these Islands, that the religious capital invested here under missionary auspices in other days is likely to be employed most effectively in the regeneration �Volume 45, No. 5.] of Chinese and Japanese resident among us especially in places outside of Honolulu. It is not probable that our English tongue will be the medium of any very radical changes in Chinese and Japanese life and character. It is a language too difficult of acquirement and in matters of religion and morals too abstract in its vocabulary. Really valuable work has been wrought for the Chinese through our mother-tongue, by city missionaries in San Francisco. But there, the English language is a common medium of communication, and there is a more pervasive English language atmosphere. Here social necessities throw the Chinese into more intimate relations with Hawaiians. The Hawaiian language serves all business purposes and is more readily acquired. It is moreover a more objective language and naturally apueals more readily to the class of Chinese who are providentially among us. Personally, I do not share in the conviction that the Hawaiian is a dying race, or that the Hawaiian language is doomed to disappear or that our Hawaiian churches are fated to dismemberment and extinction. Personally I am convinced that the Hawaiian race has a future before it; that the Hawaiian language will always be the chosen medium of communication between the masses of our population; and that a new era of life and work is opening to our Hawaiian churches. The religious possibilities of the Hawaiian language in arousing the sluggish temperament of our Oriental population are far beyond those of our own tongue. 1 have seen Chinamen stirred till their whole nature seemed to respond to the fervid rhetoric of a Hawaiian speaker. Not one man in a thousand can .use English with any such effect. If Hawaiian fervor could be wedded to Cninese constancy, a type of religious life would be evolved that would put our Anglo-Saxon Christianity to shame. To a certain extent, Hawaiians, Portuguese and Chinese mingle on the same plane. Their contact is daily and hourly along all the lines of industrial employment and social necessity. They meet on the common basis of the Hawaiian language. That language and our Hawaiian churches offer the leverage whereby many Chinese at least will be lifted into the Christian faith and experience. It follows that our Hawaiian churches must be sustained and their work reinforced in every wise and feasible way. I have purposely refrained from any discussion of the industrial aspect of our Chinese invasion. 1 have less fear than some that Chinese industry is to triumph here and that it will outbid all competition. I believe there is a great deal of hard fact in the ejaculation of a Chinaman when he saw an artificial limb. "Melican man he too muchee smart. Chinaman he no can do that." There are aspects of trade and industry that are largely closed to Chinese and must remain so. For our present purpose however I wish to emphasize two facts, viz., that our Isl- 39 THE FRIEND.

A very pleasant social was given by the Ladies' Society in the Lecture-room, Thursday evening, April 14th. On Sunday afternoon, April 3d, the pastors of the Bethel Union and Fort St. Churches held a union baptismal service at the residence of Mrs. Lack, when Charles Henry Franklin, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Nicoll, and Myra, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Peterson were baptized. April 24th, the pastor administered baptism to Lawrence McCully, son of Hon. A. F anil Mrs. Agnes Boyd Judd. Rev. C. M. Hyde, I). D. and Rev. Geo. Wallace assisted in the service. Easter Sunday, April 10th, the audience room was tastefully dot orated with flowers; the choir, at the morning service, gave a delightful praise service; the ordinance of infant baptism was administered to Donald Evans, son cf J. A. and E A. I. Cruzan, and the pastor gave a brief Easter address. In the evening there was a union service, held under the auspices of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, in commemoration of the arrival of the missionary reinforcement of 1837. Dr. Hyde and Revs. Bailey and Smith conducted the opening service, and Rev. W. B. Oleson preached a sermon which gave in a few words the most clear, graphic, and truthful picture of the present condition of the Hawaiians, and the importance and responsibility laid upon Christians, for renewed effort in religious work among them, we have ever heard. APRIL—MAY. The collection on Sabbath, April 3rd, by the Sunday School for Christian work among the Chinese on these islands amounted to $24.90. On Sabbath afternoon, April 3rd, at the residence of Mrs. Lack, the pastor administered the rite of baptism to Myra, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Peterson. The morning service on Easter Sunday, April 10th, was conducted by the Sunday School. The floral decorations were abundant and beautiful. There was a large attendance, especially of young people, and the hour doubtless one of profit and interest to all present. The subject at the Monthly Concert on Wednesday evening, the 13th, was India. Rev. S. F. Bishop and others took part. A paper was read by Mrs B. F. Dillingham, which will appear in the next number of The Friend. On Thursday evening, the 14th, a farewell sociable was given by the ladies of the Church at the pastor's residence to Mr. and Mrs. William Waterhouse, who, with their children, left Honolulu the following weak for their home in Cedar Rapids, lowa. A large number gathered together for the occasion. The evening was spent in social intercourse, with vocal and instrumental music, followed by refreshments. There was also the presentation of an address by Mr. J. E. Bidwell, in'behalf of the Social Union, to Mr. and Mrs. Waterhouse, expressing the appreciation of all of their labors in the Church, regrets �[May, 1887 THE FRIEND. 40 parting and best wishes for their prosperity in their Cedar Rapids home. Mr. Waterhouse responded in his happy, warmat hearted manner. All regretted that these friends were to leave Honolulu. We hope to hear before long of their safe arrival in lowa. On Monday, the 18th, Walter Hemdon Ruberg, at the Queen's Hospital, professed his faith in Christ, and the pastor, assisted by Mr. D. P. Peterson, administered to him the lite of Baptism. On Communion Sunday, May ist, the following persons will be received into fellowship: Mrs. John Cassidy by letter, and Mrs. F. S. Pratt and Miss Sarah Mitchell, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.

About sixty Japanese gathered inside the large room, and quite a large number unable to get in stood outside at the doors and windows. Dr. C. M. Hyde presided, and opened the exercises with prayer. Mr. Taro Ando, the Japanese Consul, gave an excellent address in his native tongue, which he repeated in English, for the benefit of the Englishspeaking friends present. Addresses were also made by Mr. G. Nacayama, and Mr. S. Aoki in Japanese. Dr. C. M. Hyde, Mr. I\ W.

THE MORNING STAR AND HER WORK. The Morning Star, Capt. H. W. Turner, arri.ed safely in port on Monday, April 4th, being only thirteen days after the date set for hef return, which was March 22m1. This is hitting the mark pretty closely in a voyage of eight m mths' duration, with so many contingencies and uncertainties as always accompany such work as hers. This is the first time that she has cofiipleted all the work laid out for her in the instructions given to her captain, ami returned t> Honolulu on or about the lime set. While we thus give credit to the captain, officers, and crew, we also appreciate the peculiar difficulties which had in be overcome throughout the voyage, OW ing to the poor sailing qualities of the vessel, and the lack of proper steam power. As somewhat extensive repairs will be required to fit her for another voyage, she will not probably sail on her next annual trip before the midd c or latter part of June. With reference to the condition of her hull, we are glad to be able to say that after a thorough investigation by a competent Board of Survey since her return, she is found not to be in so bad a condition as was fearetl. The dry-rot is found to be confined to the stern timbers above water for a distance of ten or twelve timbers on each side, or not quite as far as the miz/.en chains. Some of the upper planking on the stern is also affected with dry rot. The principal cause of the trouble seems to be the entire absence of salt in the stern frame. These defects will be remedied, anil the vessel put in thorough sea-going order. It was fortunate for her, in her weal: ened condition, that she had pleasant weather throughout the voyage, and met with no heavy gales. Captain Turner in his report sums up the work of the voyage as follows: Number of stations stopped at, |0: number of islands visited, 23; number of miles sailed and steamed, 13,846; number of miles of boating, 745. The engineer reports fifty-five days and five hours of steaming during the voyage. By the Morning Star, returned Miss .ydia E. Hemingway of the Mission at Lusaie on account of a failure of health. t is hoped that after a season of rest and recruiting she may be enabled to return again to her work. The house for the Girls' Boarding School at Kusaie, the material for which was sent down by the Morning Star, was successfully erected, and the school at once put in operation. FROM MISSIONARY EXPERIENCE. We cull a few extracts from the journal letters of the missionaries in Micronesia which will be of general interest. The following are from the journal of Rev. R W. L igan, who is stationed at Ruk. Under date of June 5, 18S6, he writes: "Hall's Islands are a small group of con! islands thirty or forty miles north of Ruk The people speak the Ruk language and have been reputed veiy fierce. Some years since, they massacred the whole crew of a wrecked vessel who escaped to those islands in a boat. A boy from there, some years ago was taken to the Ladrone Islands. From there he, after a while, got to Ponape, where he learned to read, and was a quiet, inoffensive man, He went with Mr. Sturgei to Honolulu to take care of him on the voyage:. There he shipped as as itlor on the Morning Star. Just before the Star sailed for Honolulu in Mate!, Tom, as he is called, had liberty ashore. On the north side of U 'la be found hi; mother and brother, who had come from their home in search of food. The pressure upon Tom was too strong and the Star hatl to sail without him. We heard nothing of him for about two months, when he came to us wanl et boOkS. He said he did not want to run away from the Star, but finding his mother was too much for him. He had been up to his former home and said he had been talking to the people, and they were willing to accept Christianity. We encouraged him to do what he can. This week he came back for more books, saying that the young people in numbers want to learn to read. He has also been to two other islets and talked to the people, some of whom were willing to accept Christianity, others not. We gave him more boiks, and t ,ld him we would try to have the Morning Star visit those islands. We feel so glad that the way is opening for the Gospel there." And under date of January 17, 10S7, EXTRACTS a-; follows: "The sequel to the story of Tom, the sailor who ran away from the Morning Star, is a very sad one. Captain Narrhun sent his schooner to Hall's Islands in command of one Sundberg, a Swedish American. When the schooner came back she brought two women, whom Sindberg said he hatl brought to save them from Tom, who was trying to conquer the whole group, and was waging a cruel warfare. Captain Narrhun suspected something wrong, and asked me to go down and talk to the women. I found out that the women, who were mother and daughter, were very much frightened. Sundberg wanted to marry the young woman (he is 65 years old), but as it appeared that they were taken by force we gave the.n into the care of some of their friends who are living about here. Sundberg told a terrible story about Tom's fightings and cruelties. Later we found out that he himself had helped Tom in an attack on Murila, one of those islands. He had armed some of Tom's follrwers from the schooner, and himself assisted with a breech loading and a repeating rifle. There were two native boys on the schooner. Sundberg threatened to kill them if they should tell, and made them swear that they would not. "Captain Narrhun promised to protect the boys, and with much trembling they told the whole terrible story. It is difficult to imagine a sufficient motive to lead the old man into such tiendisriness. Captain Narrhun at once discharged Sundberg. The story has been quite fully corroborated by the women, and by natives of those islands, who have since come to Ruk. Torn hatl previously conquered Faranu, another of the Hall's Islands, at the expense of two lives, wl ile with the white man's weapons and help at Murila probably twenty were kilted. Tom lived on the island of Nomnin, and hunger seems to have joined with the l< ye of power, and d.-rsire of gain to lead Tom and the Noranin people into these nets. We have since heard that the people on all four of those islands have acknowledged Tom's authority, and thus there is peace, Of course, there is an end to our hoi.es of Tom's introducing any light into those islands. The natives there and here are mixed up in clan relationship, and several canoe loads went over to git revenge for slaughtered friends, but there was nothing hut insignificant skirmishing. There has been some fighting in the west part of the grOUp lately, several deaths, and affairs still unsettled. Captain Narrhun has been several times in danger, and in many parts of Ruk life is still not safe. There have been many white men killed at Ruk and neighboring islands in the past, and never any punishment, hence the people say, should we fear punishment ?" We " Whyno have fear for ourselves, but a little punishment for murder would be a good thing." " KAWAIAHAO CHURCH. During the first quarter of the year both Church and Sunday School have made satisfactory progress. The attendance upon divine service has been rather better than during the latter part of 1886 and the interest greater. The marked feature of Church work has been the Temperance cause under the stimulus given by Mr. Booth's lectures. The Sundayschool has been fuller than for a number ofyears, there being a marked increase in the number of boys. The average total has risen to about 330. The weakest spot is the lack of intelligent christian teachers. The last Sunday in the quarter was devoted to the Quarterly Exhibition of the eight or nine schools dependent on the central school at the Church. The attendance from the schools was about 550; the audience about 800. The exercises were marked by vigorous singing and intelligent exposition in the main of the lesson of the past quarter. For both Church and School the outlook for the present quarter is good. �THE FRIEND. 42 Y. M. €. A. THEHONOLULU, H.

While the past year has been one of progress we should not lose sight of the fact that we are far behind the people in the United States on this subject, and a great work is yet to be done here before a good public sentiment is brought about in favor of temperance in these islands. According to yesterday's Advertiser 4S per cent, of the revenues of this kingdom received through the Custom House was obtained from duties on spirituous liquors.

There have been few changes made in the list of periodicals on file in the Reading Room. 'Through J. H. Soper & Co., news dealers, we have reserved twenty periodicals at a cost of $ 107.25 • five weekly newspapers, (S. F. Bulletin. Alia California, N. Y. 'Tribune, N. Y. Herald, N. Y. Staats Zcitung;) five illus trated, (London News, Graphic, Christian Weekly, Harper's, Frank Leslie's German edition:) live religious, (Evangelist, Standard, Advocate, Christian at Work;) five monthlies, (Harper's, Century, Atlantic, Chamber's Journal, Magazine of Ait.) 'Through some misunderstanding the two Colonial newspapers ordered by vote of the Association have come regularly, but without any bill from the news dealers who have supplied them. 'The Committee have only recently ascertained these facts, and as soon as the amount of the bill is known will advise payment of the same to the proper parties. Tor the coming year, the " Youth's Companion," for which we have been hitherto indebted to Mr. E. A. Jones, will be ordered from the publishers as it is in such demand that the fresh copyis needed for the constant use made of this popular paper. Two additional temperance publications will be added to the �Volume 45, No. 5.] list on file, "The Voice "and the "National Temperance Advocate." Our two local religious monthlies, 'I'm: Friend and "Anglican Church Chronicle," are furnished to the Association free of charge. We are indebted also to the publishers of "The Daily Bulletin" and "The Daily Morning Herald," for free copies of these local newspapers; and to "'The Gazette," (weekly) for which on'y half rates are charged. We are indebted to the kindness of friends for several publications, as follows: "High Peak Advertiser," "Manchester City News" and "Home News," from Mr. T. R. Walker; "Nation," from Judge Judd; "Advance "and "Christian Herald," "from P. C. Jones; Union Signal," lrom Mrs. J. M. Whitney; "Christian Commonwealth," from Mr. Stuthwick; "Signs of the Times," from the International Tract Society; Y. M. ('. A. "Watchman" and Pacific," by exchange. 'There are other periodicals which might be sent in such as the "Congregationalist" and the "Missionary Herald," by those who tlo not care to preserve files of these publications. Theie have been given away from time to time for use on other islands, for the prison, the hospital, and for ships, the periodicals removed from the tables, and other old papers and magi/.ines, also, sent to the rooms for distribution. The number in attendance in the Reading Room has been larger this year than ever before. Hawaiian boys who have been taught to read English, have begun to read the periodicals kept on our tables. 'The Committee regret to add that never before have so many (tapers been taken from the rooms; yet so slyly has this been done, that no clue has yet been found to the person er persons who have been guilty of such breach of confidence.

Mr. President and Fellow Workers:—In two days it will be eighteen years since a small but noble band of young men met in Olympic Hall on Nuuanu street, and organised this Association. Most of that little company are still with us, but they have ceased to be young men. 'They are now heads of families, and in the business life of this Kingdom. 'They are still identified with the Association and generously contribute time and money to further its work, but the working force of this Association should be made up largely of the young men of today. Some of our resident young men have gone, others have come; by the exchange we have not always been the gainers. Still there are among us a large number of young men who ought to be vitally connected with this institution, making it the doorway to an active Christian life and a Church home. For this is the object of all our work. During the last twelve months as we have labored along this line we have found among the leaders JHE FRIEND. 43 as it ought to be; but with the present claims upon our members for work not under our auspices, it is hard to find men or time available for enlargement. The membership of the Association one year ago was 210, since then fifteen voting members and thirty-two associate members have joined, making a total of forty seven new members for the year; notwithstanding this apparent gain, the changes in our population have been so great that with the few wh I have failed to renew, our present membership is reduced to 196. There have been eleven business meet ings of the Association; total attendance 269; average twenty-four. There have been ten meetings of the Board of I Mrectors; total attendance fiftytwo; average live. 'The Y. M. C. A. boys have had a prosperous year, and graduated one of their number into the present Association, at the March meeting. Mrs. F. J. Lowrey, the former efficient President, has resigned, and her place has been taken by Mrs. W. K. Merritt of Oahu College, under whose wise and enthusiastic management these juveniles are sure to flourish. A branch work in the interest of Hawaiian young men has been undertaken which promises well. 'The Queen Emma residence having been rented and put in thorough order was formerly opened on Saturday evening, March 12th. 'The exercises of the evening were interesting and much enthusiasm was manifested by the large number of natives present Educational classes, a debating society, and a Gospel Temperance meeting are held weekly and well attended. 'The reading rooms are well patronized, especially in the evenings. 'Two rooms in the same building have been fitted up for Japaneseyoung men; and they prove a bright center of attraction to many who gather for instruction, to read, or play games. A gen erous amount of Japanese reading matter has been provided by the Consul and other friends of the work. One of the most important and helpful events 01 the year was the visit of Mr. R T. Booth, the Gospel 'Temperance Fvang elist, who held a mission of about three weeks in our city; which began in Fort tention.

To-night we pause for a little to look backward over the way we have come, and if may be, to catch fresh inspiration for the duties before us. Most of the Committees have been quite faithful to the work assigned them, especially the Committees on Devotional work, 'Temperance, Reading Room and Finance. Some of the Committees have not been remarkably successful as a whole, but a few of the individual members of each, have done good work. The Entertainment Committee started off well at the beginning of the year, but soon showed signs of weakness caused mainly by the loss sustained in the removal to London of Mr. T. H. Davies, the former energetic chairman. This is an important Committee and we hope for better things from the new one during the coming year. 'The Committee on Visitation has made weekly calls at the hospital, ministering to the needs of the sick yonng men as opportunity afforded. During a part of the year the prison has also been visited regularly. Business depression has made it impossible to find employment for only a small proportion of the large number of applicants, yet the Committee feel they have done what they could, and several young men hold good positions to-day as a result. During the first of the year our experience with a Welcome Committee was well calculated to develope some of the strong Christian graces, especially one. I teparture from the city deprived us of the few to be "counted on," and the work of the Committee has since been continued on general principals with quite as good success, the Secretary acting as chairman of an unorganized Committee. A goodly number ot young men have thus been induced to pass their evenings in conversation, or over the social games in the parlor. 'The new game of Crokonole, a present from Mr. J. B. Atherton, procured in the East, seems to be the favorite. A few destitute young men have been provided with rooms, food and clothing, and in three instances with medical at- �sociation, and personally as well, to thank all the friends who have so kindly and generously contributed time, means, ability and influence to forward our efforts in the interest of young men; especially those who have aided the Hawaiian branch enterprise. 'The press of the city deserve special mention for their uniform kindness and helpful notices of our work. Our best service has been consciously imperfect, but we gratefully remember the source of our strength in the past, and lock out into the new year with hope, trusting in Him who hath said: "I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not; I will help thee." As officers and members let us be careful not to lose our individuality in the organized body, or shift to it the responsibility that belongs to each personally; and may God impress upon each worker of this Association the importance of reaching and saving the individual young man. S. 1). FULLER, General Secretary. PRESIDENTS ADDRESS. THE WORKING OF THE LEAVEN. Edward Everett Hale has written a beautiful story entitled "In His Name." It places the reader back several hundred years, when the Church of Rome was so jealously guarding her every interest, even to the extent of extreme persecution of those who thought and acted independently of her teachings. In short it is an imaginative picture of the Waldenscs, and of the severities they were obliged to undergo for conscience sake. A little girl lies sick and dying; her physician believes help can come only from one man; but this man rests under the special condemnation of the church, and is among the mountains at a considerable distance in hiding; a messenger is secretly dispatched to the exile, and the story consists chiefly in a description of this messenger's journey. His way is peculiarly obstructed by difficulties which he cannot altogether foresee. At the very outset the guards of Church and State are on duty, and they must be passed. 'The messenger is in trouble, when he, almost unconsciously as it were, appeals " In His Name" to be permitted to go on. No sooner are the words "In His Name "used than the guard, "In His Name" grants the request. Antl all along the journey, as difficulty after difficulty comes, the quietly expressed "In His Name" serves as countersign and help. 'The words are as magic. Friends of the exile, who are inclined to protect the secrets of his hilling, and to mislead all who seem to be from the church, atl vance the messenger in answer to the words of wonderful (tower, In His Name.'' Finally the errand isaccomplished and the little girl's life is laved. And the whole is to illustrate the working of the leaven, Christ's love, with its cementing power. No one of hostile intent could break through the impenetrable wall of protection, with which the friends of the exile, for the love of Christ," had surrounded him. And yet one friendly disposed, " " [May, THE FRIENDW 44 could for the love of Christ," and In His Name " reach him. A second story of interest by Edward Everett Hale is entitled "'Ten 'Times One is Ten." A number of people are at a station awaiting the train. 'They have been attending the funeral of a man whom they have all loved in common. They are unknown to each other, but while waiting, each recalls and speaks of some special act of kindness, or some characteristic of Harry Wadsworth whom they have buried. Though no pre-arranged agreement, or organization, is made by these ten, whom he has influenced for good, still each one of the number determines to adopt and put in practice the life principles of their common friend. It happens that, at the end of a year, a comparison is made among them, and it is found that each of the original ten has influenced ten others to adopt the same principles. So that now the number is one hundred. Again, at the end of a second year, each of the one hundred has gained ten more. And one thousand is the number. And so it runs; on the "Ten 'Times One" principle, as year after year passes, the number of those who have adopted the principles of Harry Wadsworth, becomes ten thousand, one hundred thousand, ten hundred thousand, or a milli >n, ten million, &c And the story is intersperced with incidents—where strangers are brought together under peculiar circumstances,—perhaps through some accident of wreck—and in some mysterious or unexpected manner it is discovered that each is a Harry Wadsworth man, whereupon each feels a peculiar warmth and cordiality toward the other. The whole is intended to illustrate the working of the Leaven, Christ's love, together with the unending and ever increasing influence of every person's life. As a pebble, dropped in a pool of water, creates circles which hnaliy reach the banks that enclose it, so every individual's influence, small as it may seem is limited only by the confines of Eternity itself. Or as Carlyle expresses it: "It is a high and solemn and almost beautiful thought, to every individual man, that his earthly influence, which has had a commencement will ne\er through all ages (were he the meanest of us) have an end." The working of the leaven is the quiet working of ideas. Chri.st, himself, in warning against the leaven of the Pharisees, explained it as "Beware of their doctrines." These ideal pictures by Edward Everett Hale, of the "Working of the Leav- " " en of Christ's love," find their verification to-day in many existing organizations whose aims and objects are worthy. When we consider the small beginnings of the Woman's Christian Temperance Unien, and then look at the strength of its organization of to-day, and the magnitude of its operations, how the working of the Leaven of Christian temperance is circling the globe, then it is that we are forcibly reminded of the "unending influence" and "cementing power of Christ's love." " In His Name" is also their magic touchstone 1887.' of power. Again when we consider the Chautauquan movement, commenced only nine years ago at Chautauqua in Western New York by Dr. J. H. Vincent, for the promotion of intelligence and culture among the masses, and thensee how many have taken hold of the idea and have improved the advantages offered through it, it seems but another illustration of the quiet working of the Leaven. Why? We are told that " without lofty promises at its beginning, or ostentation during its progress, it pursued its way and gained such an increase that its very first class after a four years course of study graduated with nearly two thousand members. And that, at that time, its enrolled students numbered nearly thirty thousand, and were found not only in every State and Territory of the Union, but in every quarter of the globe." Dr. Vincent, in the conception and execution of his idea, touches upon the lives of many, and admirably illustrates from real life, Edward Everett Hale's "Ten 'Times One." Again Robert Raikes in his conception of the idea of the Sabbath School sends his influence on unendingly. When we see the vast proportions to which the Sabbath School has grown, and how it is bound the world over, by one common series of " International Lessons," we find but another illustration of the working of the Leaven of Christ's love, with its unending and cementing power. It is but a step to pass from the Sabbath School to the Church and briefly examine the working of the Leaven there. As to the point of increase in numbers, for Christianity resulting from home, and missionary efforts of the various denominations of the Christian Church, we have the statement that at the end of one thousand years there were fifty millions of people under Christian governments. In A. D. 1500 there were one hundred millions; doubled in five hundred years. In A. 1). 1800 there were two hundred millions; doubled in three hundred years. In A. D. 1880 there were four hundred millions; doubled in eignt years, or more gain in the last eight years than in the previous eighteen hundred years." And to-day we are told by Sir Monier Williams, Professor of Sanskrit in Oxford University, "that, Christianity now stands at the head of the world in the number of its adherents;" "that the common impression in regard to the numerical preponderance of Buddhists in the world is entirely incorrect; and that the number of Confucianists is greatly overstated.'' In Burmah we learn that " Buddhism is in arms against Christianity. The priests have led their men on the battle field —a thing unprecedented in history." 'The Karen Christians regard God as the Leader of their hosts. In their prayers they remind Him, that the conflict was raised against Him by the priests of Buddhism. They say: "They (the priests) could not reach up to overthrow your throne in the heavens, and so they try to hurl you from your church in Burmah. It is for your own self interest to " �Volume 45, No. 5.] THE FRIEND. help us, for they hate us only because they first hated you, our glorious Head." And on the eve of battle the prayer is continued: " To-morrow give us cool heads, strong arms, and steady fingers on our triggers, and give us a chance to measure with these idolaters, not our weapons or our bravery, but their wooden gods against our glorious Jehovah." 'The writer of this, In every case the Karens have says: shown how a man fights whose heart is nerved by a perfect trust in the Lord of hosts." He says: " I have never seen such quiet assurance of faith in Gi d as nerves their hearts now. Ten years of preaching would never build them up in faith as the wondeiful deliverances God has wrought for us in these bloody days. They say ' we now know we have a God fit to be trusted, and infinitely greater than we had supposed.'" Outside of the mere point of numbers, we give for a moment a glance at the results of Christianity in other directions. It is said: "'The miracles of Christ are the types of what Christianity is doing on a far larger scale than could be done in Palestine. 'The kindly feeling, the desire to hep, the increased skill which springs up under Christianity, as (lowers and fruits grow in the sunshine, has made Christ's works through his pcoplts greater than those He wrought on earth. 'They are not miracles, but are better than the power of miracles, as the prolonged sunshine is better than the flash of lightning. Blind asylums have opened many eyes, and caused people to read and work even without sight. Hospitals have cured and cared for multitudes of sick and insane. We cannot raise the dead to life, but the average length of life has been greatly increased. In the United States alone the Philanthropists sum up the results of Christian care for the poor—the orphans, little " wanderers, insane, sick, foundlings, cripples, drunken outcasts, children, —as amounting to at least one hundred an twenty million dollars ($120,000,000) a year." Such is the working of the leaven of Christianity in the churches. Bit at this Ant.ual Meeting of our Association, it is tptite natural and pro] or to ask, what about our own department of Christian work—the "Y. M. C. A?" Howhas the leaven been working with the Noting Men's Christian Associations in general, and our own association in particular? It may be interesting and profitable for us to Study the beginning, progress and results 'of Association work. And at the outset I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to Secretary Fuller lor placing in my hands reports from which 1 have gathered the following facts; first, observe the quietness of the beginning: " In the year 1841, Mr. George Williams, then a young man of about twenty years of age, sought and obtained employment in one of the then great mercantile houses of London. He found about one hundred and fifty other young men employed by the same house. Almost all there spent their unemployed hours at the " free-and easies." Young Williams organized a 3 prayer meeting in his own bed-room, with one other Christian clerk. 'There were several clerks who occupied the same room. Mr. Williams says, in speaking of the beginning of this work: "If our room-mates did not choose to stay during the time we had our meetings, they retired, but we made it a great privilege to attend. We got the room crammed in answer to prayer. 'The spirit of God came down, and we saw conversion after conversion. 'The band increased, a Bible class, a mutual improvement society, was formed, and the good «'as so great that we naturally said to ourselves, ' If God has blessed us by these Simple means, why should He not give such blessing in other houses in London?' We wrote to a friend we knew, a Christian, who came forward, and we consulted with him about the formation of what has since become the Voting Men's Christian Association of the present day. In my own bed-room the first consultation was held. Associations were soon organized in other houses and in other cities. It was not until ten years later, December 9th, 1851, that the first Association was organized in America at Montreal. 'Twenty days later, by direct suggestion from London, and without the knowledge of the Montreal Association, an Association was organized ten other orin Boston." "During ganizations were effected from which time the oreanization has grown in numbers, definiteness of aim, plans of work, and power among the Christian forces of the world." until now " a world's convention is held triennially in Europe." This convention appoints a World's Central International Committee. 'There are in the neighborhood of two thousand and seven hundred Associations in the world. And they are established in twenty-six different countries. In the United States and the Dominion of Canada alone, there are 1066 Associations, eight hundred and ninety-six of which report an aggregate membership of about 135,000, and a total net property of $5,040,178. Special effort is made to reach the (1,600,000) railroad men of the United States through the Y. M. C. A. We have Secretary Ingersoll of the International Committee of America, Secretary of the railroad department, as authority for the statement that "railroad corporations in this country (the United States) are putting into the Evangelical Church, through the Y. M. C. A., more than $60,000 a year, with which to do Christian work, and while that is done from B purely business stand point, it is worth to the Church as much as if she gave every penny of it." And illustrative of the value of Y. M. C. A. work to railroad interests, as well as the interests of the general public, among other incidents he relates the following: " One day the lightning express on the Pennsylvania road was coming down the mountain at the rate of sixty miles an hour, and the train came to a stop, suddenly and yet quietly. Some how everybody was surprised. 'There was no jar, but they knew something was wrong. They rushed out and were horrified to find that the train had stopped 45 within ten feet of the edge of a fearful chasm. 'The engineer, in blouse and over alls, was down on his knees uncoupling, but pretty soon in answer to a question he looked up and taking off his cap, reverently, he says:"The Lord stopped this train." An old engineer who was riding with hira, says: "No man could have stopped it." The engineer says: "We had a little prayer meeting, as we are accustomed to do, before we started. We asked the Lord to help us run this tram safely, and He has done it." Three years before that, that man spent his leisure time in the beer saloons of Altoona. When a committee of the Y. M. C. A. came to him to ask him if they might have a cottage meeting at his house, he said " yes," and then he was sorry that he had given them permission, and he thought about it so much that when the night came he put the light out, took his wife and went to the theatre, and there was no meeting. But he was ashamed of it afterwards, and was man enough to go to the committee and apologize and ask their pardon. He asked them to come again, and they came, and the Lord came with them, and he was led to ask: "What shall I do to be saved?" and he is the man that said "the Lord stopped the train." Thank God, says Mr. Ingersoll, there are scores and hundreds of such cases in this God has set the seal of His country. approval wonderfully on this work." It has been truly said of the Y. M. C. A. that "in its relation to the Church it is simply and entirely auxiliary. In fact it is the Church reaching out undenominationally after the unsaved young men." In some instances the Y. M. C. A. accomplishes what the Church cannot. A recent report from China from a missionary states that he has been able to reach the Chinese of his district, only through the agency of a Y. M. C. A. which he has established. From the Tenth Annual Report of the Atlanta Association, Georgia, we cull the following opinions, as to the work and results. As to the work in England, Samuel Morley, Esq., M. P., says: " 'There is not an organization in England, at the present time, of greater practical value, or so full of promise, as the Young Men's Christian Association." As to the work in America; the Harpers Weekly says: "The Young Men's Christian Association is an institution, the very mention of whose name should cause the breast of every American citizen ta thrill with pride and emotion." Bishop Peck, in the History of The Great Republic, p. 558, says of the Young Men's Christian Association: "No other agency has yet been discovered in which are combined, to the same extent, those desirable constituent elements Catholicity, economy, originality, progressiveness, efficiency, sympathy and vitality." College President E.R.Hendrix says: "After considerable observation and reflection, I have ventured to call the great work of the Young Men's Christian Association the religious movement of the nineteenth century. It has already become a vital part of other institutions, confessedly permanent, as — �46 colleges and railroads. Its organization is wonderfully complete, and shows great adaptability. The hand of God is manifestly at work in such a, way that it cannot come to naught. The little cloud which I began closely to observe some sixteen (now 19) years ago, when there were only sixty Associations in our land, with less than 16,000 members, and not a single building of their own, is slowly overspreading the sky. It has adjusted itself to the great existing Church as a co-worker without claiming itself to be a church, and has the confidence of all the leading divines of all Churches.'' Among some of the results claimed, are the following: "The Christian Commission with its employed army of 4,859 missionaries, and distribution of $5,652,753 in cash and stores, and its untold wealth of cheer and blessing, had its birth in the Young Men's Christian Association." "'The Society for the Suppression of Vice, which has originated and secured stringent legislation in the United States for the suppression of obscene literature, and laid its hands of power on those who would pollute our best beloved, had its birth in the Young Men's Christian Association." "'The system of International Sunday School lessons, which has been such a blessing to the present generation, had its birth in the Young Men's Christian Association." " Mr. D. L. Moody, who has been in the hands of God, a greater blessing to the Christian Church and a sinful world than any other man of his years living, says that he is more indebted to the Young Men's Christian Association than any other organization for his training in Christian work." As we look at the magnitude of the Young Men's Christian Association of today, and see how it is bound together the world over by the one common tie, the love of Christ, it is but another verification from real life of Edward Everett Hale's story, "In His Name." Again as we look at its constantly increasing growth, the end of which is not discernible to human vision, the principle involved in Mr. Hale's second story "Ten Times One" is again proven from real life. For Mr. Williams, in his original conception of the idea of "Christian Association for Young Men," is no less to the Y. M. C. A. in his unending and ever increasing influence, than Dr. Vincent is to the Chautauquan movement. The courageous action of the young man ol twenty, who, finding one other willing to help him, kneels down in a room full of godless young men, results in fullest realization of the promise, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." Surely "a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." And now, briefly, for the home ques tions, what has been the working of the leaven with ourselves in the past, and what may we expect for oilr future ? Our Constitution bears date April 30th, 1869, so that now we are, as an organization, eighteen years of age. Our beginning was a very quiet one. [May, 1887. THE FRIEND Our founders, only ten in number, did not make themselves unduly public. So far as we can find they did not advertize in any manner our organization in the one religious journal of Honolulu; and, in turn, The Friend did not even mention the simple fact of our existence, until over fourteen months had passed. 'This was undoubtedly an oversight on the part of both organization and paper. In September, in 1870, we secured the last page of The Friend for our own editing. 'This arrangement continues to-day. The first editorial stated the aims and objects of our organization as "doing good to men." 'These aims are the same today. The general plan of work in the tarlier years of our history was much the same as it is to day. A reading room was supported in the Sailors' Home. A Sunday afternoon prayer meeting was conducted. 'The hospitals were visited. Reading matter was furnished them. Special work for the Chinese was undertaken, which work was later passed into the hands of the Hawaiian Board. And now the Chinese have an Association and a building of their own, the only Chinese Association in the world possessing a building. Out door, or open air preaching services were held upon the wharves. Our first open air service was held in November, 1870, Rev. Mr. McCully preached from the text: " Ho every one that thirsteth." About two hundred were present. By way of entertainment, public lectures weie held in Buffam's and Olympic Halls. Regular monthly business meetings took place then as now, at which the monthly reports of standing committees were made. Then, the duty of members to be on hand at the reading room as a sort of Reception Committee, was a troublesome question as it is to-day. 'Then the expenses, were the expenses of the reading room chiefly, and amounted to only $300 a year. Now we need that much a month, making over $3,000 a year, which fact indicates our growth, dnd again illustrates, in another way, the principle of " Ten 'Times One." As we have learned from our General Secretary's report this evening, we have recently started a branch work among the native population of our city. 'The large and beautiful residence of the late Queen Emma has been obtained for the purpose. To-day we have a largely increased and a constantly ir.creasing membership roll. We possess a beautiful and commodious house. It is more than a house. It is home. We have a leader to direct our efforts. Our prayer meetings are more largely attended. And finally we have a recognized and established position in the city. With such results as these we cannot question our right to an existence. But what may we expect for our future? Our leader cannot do everything for us; neither can our building. Hence the answer forces itself home to our convictions, we must have more of the leaven of spirituality, if we would have life and success. It has been pertinently asked of the Y. M. C. A., "what is your splendid machin- cry without the throbbing power of God pulsing through it?" With the Watchman we say: "The need is of intelligent, consecrated young men. A man is more than bricks and mortar. An immortal soul, with all its deathless energies, is more than real estate. A fully equipped building, with a large membership, is not a Young Men's Christian Association; these are but the utensils, out of which one may be made. In the building and equipments we have the facilities of work. In the membership attracted by them we have the material out of which to create an association. But this material must be organized. 'The mass must be spiritualized. 'The working machinery, of which every wheel is a living soul, must be carefully wrought out and harmoniously set a going. 'Then there will be a Christian Association." There is a great work before this, our own, Association. Not only the young men of Honolulu of to-day, but their greater number of the future, must Society, home, commerce, be saved. the Church, duty, and Christ, each and all, demand it." Are we ready for the call? 'True, the difficulties are great, but they are no greater than " those that stand in the way tit all Christian work; viz., the mighty power of sin and satan, and the insufficiency of human strength and wi.s dam." Surely our difficulties are no more than met that handful of men in that upper chamber; ignorant, crude, unlettered fishermen that they were, and to whom it was given to revolutionize the world; to triumph even against the gates of hell.' Their work is ours. Their marching orders: ''do preach the Gospel," are also ours. "We can not reach young men alone. Our need cries out importunately unto Gcid. We are not left to gloom and darkness. Power divine may supplement human strength. Tis God that gives the increase. He makes human insufficient) sufficient." Thus works the leaven. Wm. A. Bowen.

'The Britishers, resident in Honolulu, are making arrangements for a proper celebration this month of the Queen of England's Jubilee. Our English friends have reason to be proud of their Queen, and we notice with pleasure that they are enthusiastic in preparing for the Jubilee exercises. The fifty years of Victoria's renin will compare favorably with any like period preceding it in British history. These last fifty years have been marked by a great improvement in the material condition of the people; by an increase of population, so that the United Kingdom, which in 1537 had less than 26,000,000 persons, in 1885 had a population of nearly 37,000,000; while to this it should be added that during these fifty years nearly 6,000,000 persons have left the British country to dwell in other lands. For this increased population there have arisen improved means of livelihood, new industries and sources of revenue, so that the production of the country has not only been equal to, but exceeded the consumption. Bearing on this, want of space forbids us to enter into details. Tnen, the condition of the working and middle classes and their manner of living has wonderfully improved during Victeria's reign. 'The people of the last fifty years have had more means, better incomes, better houses and greater comforts than those before them.

"But"—so we read in our scrap-book— age is not valuable unless for the quality of the thing that is old. A century of America or 500 years of Europe may be more valuable to mankind than 4,000 years of China." An inquirer in the Christian Union wants to know whether Paul's " thorn in the flesh" was imperfect vision. Editor Abbott thinks it possible. It has certainly been our thorn during two years and a half of editorial effort. It was " imperfect vision " on our part that made Mrs. Coan in her excellent article last month say: Houses and carriages," when the manuscript, of ceurse, made mention of "horses." There were one or two other typographical thorns. Separately and collectively they destroy one's peace of mind. Last summer, returning from a delightful vacation, we penned some lines on " the Here is blossoming plants of Maui." the proof," said a Hawaiian youth, and we read, "'The blaspheming plants," etc. That contribution to literature we tore up then and there. It is ever thus. And while life endures our sympathy will be with the man who contributed a touching poem, entitled: " He kissed her under the stars," but which the world was made to read, "He kicked her under the stairs." An interesting "Gen. Grant Memorial Exercise" was held at Punahou Preparatory School on Friday, May 27th, under the efficient leadership of Miss Hall, the Principal. The programme opened with singing by the school, The Yankee Boy." 'Then each pupil recited a battle in which Grant led the forces. The further order of exercises was as follows: Singing, "Tenting To-night;" "Life of Grant," by Belle Walker; " Words of Grant," by Ellen Hopper; " Battle of Yicksburg," by Mary Alexander; "Lee's Surrender," by Willie Chamberlain; "'Tributes to Grant," by the whole class; " Grant's Greatness," by Sammie Widdifield and singing by the school, " Marching through Georgia."

During the remainder of the hour brief remarks were made by ladies and gentlemen present. Miss Hall's desk was covered with bright and beautiful flowers, and the hour was worthy of the man "of calm face, iron will and unflinching persistence," the hero of Appomattox and the genius of the war. The second in the list of propositions for church consolidation in this city contains this clause "a new church to be called the 'Congregational' Church of Honolulu." Why this name of a single denomination should be proposed for churches which are made up of members of various denominations is to the average intellect a mystery. Hitherto both Churches have carried unsectarian and acceptable names. To Fort-Street Church no reasonable person can object, as the name simply expresses the street on which the house of worship stands. The Bethel Union has been equally unobjectionable as a name. In this Church we have received members from all evangelical Churches and under the "Union" name they could meet on a common basis as christians. To introduce at this late day and in this part of the world a denominational flag, under which all christian soldiers will have to march, we cannot but regard as singularly unfortunate. We had looked for some such name as the " Union Protestant Church of Honolulu," the first indicative of a common meeting-ground as christians and the second of the fixed purpose to protest at all times against whatever is wrong in Church and State. The proposed name is a reminder of the divisions of Christendom and will, in case the consolidation shoulel take effect, easily invite to the introduction of other denominational societies, a matter too sael to contemplate. 'What's in a name?" In the case before us the name is important, and we iVar that it has not received the attention it deserves. .... an office has been paititioned off on the front south-west corner for the Daily Herald, printed here.

Mr. Neeshima is the head. The former principal of the Doshisha at Kioto will have the position of President, and two missionaries are to be instructors in this institution. 'The examinations for admission into this school took place while I was there, and about 120 students will constitute the beginning of this new and hopeful enterpiise. Some e>f the Buddhist priests have been alarmed at this movement, and one of their number lecently went to the governor, and with tears in his eyes begged that he would not allow a Christian school to be thus opened in Scndai. In other places, also, the Buddhists are frightened at the prospects, and are madly opposing its progress. They say that it is like the cholera and even worse; for while one only destroys the body, the other destroys the soul. 'The older and ignorant classes are still largely addicted to the worship of idols, but the young and educated portion of the people laugh at such folly. At one town on the route, I saw some gayly dressed cars being drawn through the streets by the people, and accom panied by the usual music of fife and drums. On some of the cars were hideous images worshiped as gods. On some of thee ars were dancers dressed in the richest robes, and trying thus to amuse the crowd. All this was to keep up the zeal of the people in their old systems of idolatry, and prevent their adoption of a foreign system of worship. But few people were present, and but little enthusiasm was seen. Idolatry is doomed, and the scream of the locomotive, is its requiem. Dr. Shwartz of the Methodist Church has been employed for one year in the Government school, and is so highly esteemed that at the end of the year it was insisted that he should remain in that position, as they would accept of no substitute. Some forty of his students have professed conversion during the past year. In all that region there is an eager desire to learn English, and a very general spirit of inquiry. While the masses of the people are mostly indifferent, and many still attached very strongly to their old faith, the educated and thinking classes are ripe for the gospel. At Yonezawa there are 180 pupils who desire to study English. Application has already been made to both the Methodist and Congregational missions for a Christian teacher At Yamagata there are 120, and at Awamori 150 more, who wish to study great energy and influence. This condition of things is, of course, very favorable for all Christian work. The sale of English Scriptures is increasing daily, and more copies are sold now in one month than in the first five years of work by this society. This extensive circulation of the Word of God will certainly tell in moulding the character and lives of the rising generation in Japan. And it is this only that cm save this nation. Old'systems are fast being swept away. It is Christianity or infidelity that is to prevail here in the future. If the latter is to become the predominant influence, it would have been better for the country to have followed Buddhism, as any which teaches a future state of Tewarel and punishment is better than a denial of a Supreme Ruler and future life. Wherever one goes there are marks of progress. New and expensive roads have been constructed in all directions, and travel now is not the same that it was but a few years ago. Nearly one third the distance to Sendai is covered by railroad, and in about one year there will be a complete line the whole distance. In other directions, also, there are the same facilities being multiplied, and the spread of the gospel is thus rendered far less difficult and expensive. God reigns in Japan, and is using the enterprise and the wealth of this nation to promote the triumph of His Word and the glory of His name. H. Loomis, Agent A. B. S. IN MEMORIAM. From the home of her daughters, Mrs. Crocker and Mrs. Sutherland in Chicago, 111., April 6th, Mrs. Sophia M. B. Moseley was summoned to her home in glory after a lingering and very distressing illness. She was the oldest child of the now sainted Rev. and Mrs. Hiram Bingham, and the second white girl born on these Islands. When eight years old she was sent to the United States, and it was eighteen months before her loving parents heard from her— striking contrast to that of hearing in ten days of her recent departure to "The Better Land." Leaving Mrs. E. Willard's Seminary, Troy, New York, at the age of eighteen, she soon married and resided for several years in Hartford, Conn. From that city she removed with her husband in 1842 to Michigan where she lived till a few months before her death when she was removed to Chicago for more thorough medical treatment. As a truly devoted follower of Christ, she labored faithfully for the advancement of His kingdom; and in her various trials and sufferings she honored mons. A few minutes before the end came, she said: "Almost gone," and her last words were " Praise the Lord." Honolulu. L. K. B. AN APOLOGY. The writer of the article "'The Reinforcement of 1837," in the May number of The Friend, made a grievous, but altogether unintentional mistake, in omiting the names of Mrs. W. P. Alexander and Mrs. E. Bailey from the list of missionary mothers, who were in attendance at the jubilee. 'These dear ladies hold too high a place in the affectionate regards of all, to have been thus overlooked; and she begs a place in the June number of The Friend to make this mention of their valued presence on the occasion referred L. 13.

Our generous people have added a golden cord to the many other strong ones which bind'us to Honolulu, having presented us with a munificent "testimonial" in the form of a elraft on California. The Young People's Society gave us a very pleasant surprise in the piesentation of a copy of Mrs. Sinclair's " Indigenous Flowers of Hawaii," accompanied with words of love and friendship. During the month of May, at private ceremonies in their homes, the pastor has baptized fourteen children, and in the Church, May 15th, Philip Cushman, infant son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hall. The most important event of the month justpassed was the special business meeting ofthe Church to take action on theproposed union with the Bethel Union Church. While there were differences of opinion, the meeting was most kind and Christian in spirit, and resulted in the adoption of the first and main proposition by 138 affirmative votes to 11 negatives, 7 having since been received by mail and added. Of the negative votes nine were cast by members residing in Honolulu, and two by absentees. Sunday evening, May 29th, the Geo. W. Dc Long Post, G. A. R., held their annual memorial service in Fort-Street Church, the pastor preaching the sermon, and Comrade W. C. Merritt assisting in the opening service. The music on this occasion, under direction of Prof. Yarndley, was txceedingly good, the " Hallelujah Chorus " especially being most effectively rendered.
