Some 2,000 chairs were occupied, and t,ooo more men were standing. All stores and saloons were closed for the afternoon. The good order of the meeting was simply superb. It is the general testimony of those accustomed to popular assemblies in England and America, that tbey had never seen anything ecpjal to it in this respect. Its make every citizen proud of Honolulu, that such severe displeasure and intense determination found a full expression in so orderly and dignified a manner. The same good order prevailed outside. The only intimation of anything otherwise was the application of the unhappy Premier Gibson to the commander of the Rifles for a squad to protect him against natives, who probably would not have injured him. The natives are believed to be generally in sympathy with this movement, which demands thorough reform, but deprecates revolution, if it can be avoided. The very high character of our Honolulu citizens and of the Island population is admirably attested by the whole style *nd complexion of this movement. We think it fair to claim for the excellent moral influence of the Blue Ribbon league for the past four months no unimportant share in this. It is rare in political conflict, that so strong an element of righteousness enters into the feeling of an assemblage as it has done in this. The corruption of tht Legislature, of office-holders dependent on the kings will, had culminated in a law for licensing the sale ef opium, intentionally framed so as to facilitate the taking of bribes. The King had solicited and receivt d a bonus of $ 71,000 from one chinaman, and then issued thelicense to another party, while retaining the money. This �56 almost incredible scandal, added to a multitude of other public offenses, produced a unanimity and force of public sentiment for reform, which made our mass meeting one of refreshing and wholesome atmosphere, good to breathe; all who attended it must have had their moral sense invigorated. We have never witnessed such calm unanimity as in this meeting, such quiet force ■{determination, such repressed but stern displeasure. The applause, the responses of yes ! and DO ! were short, but sharp, united, and as the seven thundeis. We never have feit so sure of good, stable, economical, honorable government in Hawaii as we do today. How the tawdry show til coronations arid jubilees pales before the stately n.ajesty\ of the righteous will! CLOSING SERVICES OF BETHEL UNION CHURCH. Some editorial matter was prepared upon the subject of the termination of the separate existence of this church. This was, however, incorporated into a sermon preached at the closing services last Sabbath, portions of which discourse will be found in another page. It will be seen that the dissolution of this church was not a measure lightly or hastily agreed upon, and that a most honorable lack of unani mity testified to the strong affection of the membership to their old church. Lest any unfavorable inference should be drawn from this language on account of the greater facility with which the FortStreet Church passed a similar measure, we point to the fact that to the Bethe' Church, with their small membership, it was a practical absorption into a larger brotherhood, while to the Fort Street Church it was practically not very much more than a change of name, with the advantage of a large accession to their forces. Hence the uniun was a project which the one church might naturally entertain with out regret, while to the other it was practically an end of their church existence. We well know that Fort Street Church look upon their noble record with all the loving pride that the Bethel people feel for or since. A large number of our leading citizens, of both sexes, look to Dr. Beckwith with grateful regard, as the most valuable friend of their early days. It has long been an ungratified desire with this large circle of his former pupils, as well as of his many other admirers, to enjoy here in Honolulu, far a time at least, the stated pulpit and pastoral labors of this most able and beloved brother. This wish is at last realized. By a convenient exchange with the late pastor of Fort Street Church, Dr. Beckwith is to supply the pulpit of this congregation during the summer month*. We bad the privilege ol listening to a sermon from Dr. Beckwith on the occasion of his recent visit sonictimeago. We then thought and still think that it was the most thoughtful, and the most eloquent discourse that we have ever heard preached in this city. Many feel with us, that it is a most favoring Providence that has supplied our two churches, now deprived of the services of both their pastors, with the aid of so wise and strong a man of God, who already possesses in so unusual a degree, the personal confidence of our churches. We cannot here refrain from renewing our regrets over the early death of the only son of our dear brother, who left us less • than two years ago, when near his earthly end, the Rev. Frank Beckwith, then assistant principal in Lahainaluna Seminary. We well remember the cheerful undauntedness with which he left us for California to battle for his life the renewed pulmonary malady which had already a hopeless hold upon him. Frank greatly reminded us of his uncle, Gen. Armstrong, in his magnetic nerve, and intellectual animation. The Lord has taken him, one of the very noblest of IL.wait's sons. regular attendant of worship, including children. Although the enterprise of building a new house of worship, and enlarging our nunihers, which had especially engaged our Pastor's energies, has suddenly been arrested by peculiar circumstances exterior to our Church, and so while possessing in the fullest degree our unanimous personal confidence and support, our Pastor has regarded the lou of unanimity in the proposed plans as fatal to that especial seivice which he aimed to render, and thai bat been led to leave us, we feel called to testify to the prefioas remarkable success of our Church in securing under Mr. Oggel's lead, subscriptions for a new house of worship to the Ji:\K. taining untarnished the reputation of her Court, and training her own family ai a bright example to the nation.

At a Church meeting which met en June 14th, after thirty days written notice to each member, the live propositions of the basis of union were adopted by a twothirds majority of 49 to 24. A very cordial invitation having been received from Fort-Street Church to unite in '.heir Church and Sabbath School services, pending the expected consolidation, it was v. ted at a meeting on the 22d to accept the same, to take effect on and after the first Sabbath in July. Messrs. J. O. Carter and R. Jay Greene were chosen as the two Bethel members of the Executive Committee to prepare the measures for consolidation. The hearty thanks of the Church and congregation were unanimously tendertd to J. T. VVaterhouse, Esq., tor the bee use of the Lyceum for fifteen months. During the month of June, morning services only were conducted by the pastor for the two Sabbaths, by Rev. \V. B. Oleson on the 19th, and the closing services by Rev. S. B. Bishop on the 26th.

So powerful for evil or good on the life of a nation is the example set in high places. There is one striking passage in Holy Scriptures which emphasizes the beneficial or disastrous consequences of the habits of the Court on the habits Woe unto thee, O land, when of the people. thy king is a child and thy princes eat in the morning. Blessed art thou, O land, when thy king is the son of nobles, and fy princes eat for strength, and not for drunkenness." It wis woe to the land when, at the Restoration, freed from the stern hand of Puritan restraint, the nation, following the example of a dissolute monarch, rushed into every form of extravagance and vice. But blessed has been the land under the present reign, where the Court of the Sovereign has been a bulwark of religion and virtue; where the wives and mothers of England, looking to the example of their Queen, have beheld in her the pattern of all that is line and lovely and of good report in woman; and when the Court of the Queen and the sacred home of all domestic virtues has been the pattern of family life to every home in the country. 2. Now, if the high personal character of the Sovereign and the bright example of the Court has been the bulwark of the throne, we may see another source of blessing in the respect of the nation, from the Queen to the humblest of her subjects, for the sacredness of the Lord's Day, The national reverance for this Divine institution has been upheld and strengthened by the example of the Q'een and Royal family. Those who would break down or ignore the obligations of attendance at public worship on ihe day of rest, find nothing to appeal to in the practice of the Court, which has been to "give unto the Lord the honor due unto His Name." The promise stands sure, "Them that honor Me I wilt honor." The English Sunday may be, as it has been described, a perplexity and a purgatory to the Continental nations, but it honors God, who from the beginning has appointed one day in seven to be kept holy, as a day of worship and of rest, so that bound up with the observance of the seventh day rest are both the duties of religion and the rights of humanity. The nation has honored Almighty God by refusing to diminish the honor in which it horn's this sacred day, or trench upon the rights that it bestows. And we can scarcely doubt that this testimony of the nation's faith in the redemption of the world through our Lord Jesus Christ of which the first day of the week is an abiding memorial lias been a source of the honor bestowed upon Ihe Crown. How deeply the neglect or observance of the Lord's Day may affect the best interests of a nation we cannot attempt to define. But it is written in the history of Ihe chosen race that beneath the idolatry and all the other sins that were denounced by their Prophets, the neglect of the Sabbath and the Sabbatical year was the root sin calling down the judgment that issued iii tin- 70 years' captivity, "until the land had enjoyed her Sabbaths, for as long as she lay desolate »be Kept Sabbath to fulfill three score and ten years."

CLOSING SERMON. BY REV. S. E. BISHOP. Preached to the Bethel Union Church, Sunday, June 26th, 1887. Phil. 2:3. —"Doing nothing through strife or vain-glory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other betler than himself." A. ■ jt ' m M et X- I have been led to think that this com mended frame of feeling was one especially suitable and useful to all of us members of the Bethel Church just at this time. We meet to day under very rare and peculi ir circumstances. I have never witnessed or known of similar circumstances in the history of any church with which 1 have been acquainted. According to arrangements carefully and deliberately made, we are about to dissolve our existence as a separate church organization. It has been agreed to terminate to-day those Sabbath morning services of Divine worship which have been uninterruptedly maintained for fifty-three years. A few of us, myself for one, have been acquainted with this Church since its first establishment under the chaplaincy of Rev. John Diell. Many more of us have passed childhood and youth and many adult years under the pastorate of the beloved and lamented Father Damon. Strong bonds of mutual affection have grown up, and a deeply rot ted church life has developed through two generations of christian work and culture. Nearly three years ago, assuming new responsibilities and engaging in larger undertakings, we hopefully advanced under the leadership of our experienced and energetic Pastor Oggel, whobecame greatly endeared to us All this has now come to an end. It was so thought best to be done. This was the decision of a majority of two-thirds of the qualified gating members of the Church, and so this morning we hold our Sabbath services as we suppose, for the last time at the Bethel Union Church. I believe lhat to every one of us this fact comes with great sadness. We are leaving the old and dear home. It has been thought best to abandon it, but it is to us very dear and sacred, and we all lingeringly cling to it, even though many are very clear in their judgment that the proposed new arrangements are altogether exptcbent and best lor the interests of the Church of Christ in this city. You know that I have not myself been quite so sure of this, although an impression has been growing upon me that very probably true practical wisdom does lie in that direction. I have found it very hard to abandon our interesting and hopeful plans, and harder still to dissolve the cherished family life of our Church. I think I can enter with deep sympathy into the very painful feelings of many of the large minority who have earnestly and steadily opposed this great and serious change. This is no place or tbne to recapitulate the many arguments used on both sides with so much ability. It has been a protracted contest, one which has severely tested the love and the forbearance of both the parties. I rejoice to testify thst the contest has been remarkably free from whatever would have been unseemly, and has richly proved the Christ-like spirit of our membership. 1 do feel that the spirit of Christ has been with us, and kept us from much painful error that might have been expected. It is because we are so fresh from this struggle, dear friends, and because the soreness of our hearts is now so keen in ending our united work here, that the exhortation to meekness and self-siirrender seems one that will now be especially helpful to us all. One party in the Church has overcome the other party in a matter very close to their hearts. Any exultation, any sense of superiority, any assumption of wiser judgment, I trust is far from the thoughts of the winning side. l'Yr one I feel humbled in self distrust for what we have been doing, although it seems to me that this is the way that the Lord's hand is pointing out to us. To the defeated side, the task of yielding is of the hardest, and they need all the wisdom the Lord is so ready to bestow in order to see what is best for them to do and they need all His helping grace in order to kindly yield, if such He shows them to be the present duty. And here I wish to testify to our dear brothers and sisters of the minority, how highly I, far one, esteem them for their steadfast loyalty to the dear old Bethel C*urch. I say to you that you have done well and nobly, and are to be honored and loved for your staunch constancy and fidelity to the old flag. We could, none of us, afford to spare the testimony you have borne to the dearness and worth of that Bethel Church life which war are surrendering. Think, brethren, how it would have seemed, if that surrender had been made easily and unanimously. How plainly that would have seemed to say that we lightly valued the old mother Church —she was decrepit and useless —let her die! No! We leave the old Church, but we leave her honored and mourned, as is becoming. And that seemly fact is attested, only by the steadfast loyalty of one-third of our membership, who under deepest discouragement, have voted to maintain our organization. Dear brethren of the minority, we are deeply indebted to you. I am glad that we had the majority needed to carry the measure, but I would not have had the minority one less. I would not forego the precious testimony of a single one of your votes to the preciousness of the Bethel Union Church in the hearts of her membership. Anything like unanimity in this action would to my mind have been a moral calamity convicting our Church of a tack of worthy natural affection. And yet I think, perhaps with erring judgment, that the majority voted wisely, and that we shall probably all be more prosperous and efficient in christian activities under the new plans than under the other. Be that as it may, it has been so voted by the requisite majority, and it is for you dear brtthren of the minority to — �58 [July, 1887.

We are about to comply with that kind invitation, and become for the time being, the guests of out dear sister church, pending the completion of the arrangements for the new united organization. May the Lord be with us all as we go, that it may be in the spirit of the Lord Jesus. May we especially carry in our hearts very much of His sweet meekness, devoid of vain emulation, free from solicitude as to our places in the new home. May we care only to be useful, to rendrr our utmost service, to live in loving fellowship with the brotherhood, and to keep in living and blessed union with our Head. I have ventured to give these words of counsel, dear brethren, with much diffidence—and yet it has seemed to me that some of these thoughts were from the Lord for our help. We have now no pastor, bership, to meet and we must help one another as we best can, and pray much for one another, as we close the doors of our old home, and set forth to find our places in the new. But wherever we go, the Lord shall go with us, and His hand shall lead and uphold us. For we would believe humbly according to His assurance that we are His and He is ours. Y. M. C. A. TOPICS—JULY.

At Lahainaluna also, as in the early New Kngland colleges, the studies were arranged, and text books printed, largely with the view of preparing young men for the ministry of the Gospel. But no special theological seminary, or training school exclusively for ministers, was estab lishcd until Rev. W. P. Alexander, who had removed from Lahainaluna to Wailuku, after the failure of his health at the former place, opened his theological school in July, 1863. He had a class of about 12 students under instruction from year to year until 1871. They supported themselves by their own labor and the help of their friends, finding homes among the people of Wailuku and vicinity. In 187 1 the Hawaiian Evangelical Association voted to locate th*school at Hono- tion under Dr. Hyde. . DR. HYDE'S SCHOOL. The annual exercises of this school were a decided advance on previous years. This is the training school for native Hawaiian preachers and missionaries, under the title of the North Pacific Misionary Institute. The conducting of this school has been the main work of the ten years which Rev. Dr. Hyde has spent here, amid a diversity of other labors. One of the surest marks of success in any work is a great and steady improvement in trie style of the work done. This test is well met in this school. We witnessed for several hours the varied and active questioning of the fourteen young men by Dr. Hyde and Mr. Parker. They were very basis, on a more permanent lulu, to put it and to enlarge the course of study. The fine-looking Hawaiians —got up in remarkpremises formerly occupied as the U.

One who watches them from year to year sees marked in the moral tone as in the intellectual. A considerable and constant progress, as marked number of pastors wlu graduated from this school are now laboring among the native churches, some of them with marked eminence. Two, Paaluhi and l.utera, are about to embark as missionaries to the Gilbert Islanders. They have already proved their capac.ty in active service here. Paaluhi is mentally the ablest of these two men, but l.utera may make as good as missionary. There is some romance in his story. A wild sailor, he passed some years on the Gilbert Islands, and learned the language. Returning here, he fell over board from a coaster, and like a good native swimmer, spent the night among the waves, and was picked up in the morning. It was a dread and sjlemn night. His sins came before himand all the Divine calls ofmercy and grace which he had slighted. He there alone in the deep vowed his life, if spared, to Christ and His work among those pagans whose vices he had shared. Now, after live years of training and work, he goes to help feed the bright flame of Christian love and righteousness which has for thirty years been slowly kindly in those savage tribes. May he make as good a record there as some of his predecessors, like Lono, Leleo, Kanoa, Haina and other veteran, patient toilers, whose labors are now bearing much fruit. tute. HAWAIIAN EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION. The present Editor being Hawaiian born, has b;en wont to personally enjoy the annual meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelican Association, at whose sessions only the native language is used. These and the semi-annual meetings of the Island Associations have been a school of parliamentary training for the native pastors, and the details of organization and order have come to be conducted in a very becoming and satisfactory manner. Some fifty pastors and preachers with half as many delegates were this year assembled. These were largely men of grave and dignified aspect, with kindly, intelligent faces—with a manner betokening earnest faith and purpose. No Christian could fail to feel that this was a company of the Lord's people with whom it was good to be associated. The details of their work will be found reported in their proper place. The conduct and results of the meeting were highly satisfactory. Some apprehension had been felt respecting some known revolutionary elements tending toward corrupt political affihatioas. A slight effort indeed was attempted in that direction, but met no sup port, and came to nothing.

Captain Garland of the Star curies with him our best wishes. He is highly qualified for his work by many years of successful voyaging on lliis ship and her predecessor. Captain Garland is a special favorite wiih the missionaries, who know him intimately, and with whose spirit and work he is in thorough sympathy. A good sailor and a good man is a noble combination. From the first of our many years' acquaintance with Captain Turner, late of the Star, we plainly found that combination in him. We hope to see him soon again on his old route between here and San Francisco, and to hear often his manly Christian utterances in our church prayermeetings. EXTRACTS FROM REV. R. LOGAN'S JOURNAL. Last year the teachers asked to have a stated allowance instead of being supplied at the missionaries discretion as formerly. I wrote to the Cousin Society at Honolulu who support them, and with their permission gave each one goods to the amount of forty dollars a year, each taking just such goods as he wishes. We have commenced on this plan this year. I send for the goods, expecting each to tell me as well as he can the year before what he will want. I order the things and let them have them at enough advance to cover leakage, breakage, &c. The plan promises to work well, having the merit of treating the teachers as men, not as children. It takes time and strength however. The breadfruit is gone now and we are having to look out for food for our large family. We hope to feed them all so that none will be hungry. It is quite a little 61 responsibility and not a little strain. But reaching here, and has not yet been able almost every one under our care is now to take up school duties. doing well, so we are encouraged. Dec. 7. Two canoe loads from the Island of Suk, or l'alosuk, some 140 miles west of Ruk have been here. Some of the same people were here soon after our arrival two years ago. They live in constant fear of the people of I'aloat, a neighboring island. They asked for a teacher two years ago, and renew the request now. They brought several of their women this time that they too might see something of the new religion, i'liey ill came several times to the church to see our house, to see the people doctored night and mornThe attending to the sick seemed to ing. attract their attciitiun muie than anything else. They go back 1 think fully impressed with the goodness of the teacher nd the desirableness of the new religion. a hope that before very long something can be done for them. Two ranue loads from Eatal, MortloCk, arrived here sometime ago. A deacon and two church members are among the number. They went to Namaluk alter lood (a distance of about thirty miles), and on their return drifted off and were lost, sighting Ruk at lust after they hail been about ten days at sea; they had food, but suffered severely for water. None ot them died, though — some were quite wean. The new scholars are doing very well in school. It is so much easier to teach them than it was those we began with; they now get so much help from those who have already learned. We began sciiool March 29th, having about 70 scholars from Ruk and the 14 from Mortloclc, &c We now have 25 to clothe and feed, in addition to Solomon's family of four persons, How we are going to accomplish it ail is yet to be determined, but we hope to "pull through." We have one house which will accommodate three families, which leaves the other four to be provided for. They will build for themselves, we furnishing the tools, twine, &c. Mrs. J.ogan began soon to teach the women tffiew, so that they may make their own and their husbands' clothes. Just before the Morning Star reached us we were visited by an epidemic influenza. We found the people suffering severely at every island we visited on the Star. In some places we could hardly make ourselves heard, and the people were too miserable to give much heed to our words. I hoped the worst might be over by the time we got back to Ruk, but found the epidemic still very severe. Arthur had a severe attack, but Dr. Wetmore broke it up. I tried to look after the severer cases while the Morning Star was here, and when she had gone I did as well as I could for all. I treated from 30 to 40 or more a day for a while. Several died, and others were at death's door. Several of the Mortlockers were very sick, but all are nearly well now. All are taking hold well n school except one, who became a mother the second week after David and Sera, who came from Ponape on the Star, have been located at Kutua on the north side of Yoloas. A chief from there came and staid all the time I was away at Mortlock, going away only to get food, fearing that someone else might get the teacher away from him. 1 wanted to locate him in the west part of the lagoon where there is no teacher, but the urgency of this man Was so great that we thought it best to let him have the teacher. They have given a good piece of land for missionary purposes, and the prospects there seems very hopeful. David has been over once, and was very enthusiastic in view of his opportunities. The interest here at Anapauo is growing, i think. The evening meetings number from 50 to 60, and the morning meeting! from 30 to 40 or 45. May 22d. It is a long time since I wrote in this. Duties crowd upon us, and I try to get a little time every day for translating. FotH weeks ago Mrs; Logan and-1 went to Umm to spend the Sabbath and have communion services. Capt. Narrhun offered to take us in his little schooner, and as the boat was just then in need of repairs, and we saw that he would really enjoy doing us a kindness, we were willing. Mrs. Logan bad not been feeling quite so well as usual. She worked hard Saturday i'. m in teaching a new hymn, for the people at Uman do not have many opportunities to learn the new hymns. She slept poorly at night, and on Sunday had a fainting lit in church. She bore the journey home reasonably well on Monday, but a ryn of fever followed, less severe than last year, but she has not yet fully recovered. The mission station at Uman is on the windward side of the island. Capt. Narrhun anchored in a place partially sheltered by a reef, and came on shore and had dinner with us. When he returned on board the vessel had dragged her anchor, and before she could be gotten under way, went on to the rocks. Moses and some of his people ran out and by the aid of a long pole, when there seemed scarcely a ray of hope left, succeeded in getting her into deep water, so that she hoisted sail and got safely off. It was a time of intense anxiety to us. She is worth about $1000, and is not insured, and the captain had come entirely on our account. The communion services were on the whole pleasant; several had to be excomThere municated, several suspended. were also quite a number to be admitted to the church. Moses has a school of nearly a hundred. The discouraging feature is that fully two-thirds are women and girls. We had something of an examination on Monday morning before we started for home.

IVatchman and it was advised to introduce the paper and its reading more among the associate members. Throughout the sessions considerable emphasis was laid on the Bible training classes, and the free use of the word of God among workers; it was very gratifying to see how conversant the delegates were with it, quoting it on every opportunity. The devotional services were very interesting, after the leader had expressed his thoughts, which were given readily and with accuracy by one and all. Your delegate was much interested, instructed and benifuted at every session of the Convention and the good resulting from it and the privilege of attending it will never be forgotten by him. It is rather singular that your delegate was the first to arrive; your Association was the first one called upon for an International subscription, and your building was the first one shown in the stereopticon views ot the last evening session and which called forth much applause. 'There were in all 319 delegates, representing various localities from Maine to Hawaii and from Winnipeg to New Orleans, and nearly half of these delegates were Britishers. The closing exercises of the convention on Sunday evening were very impressive. After the usual service was concluded a delegate's testimony meeting' was held in which nearly every one made half-minute or one word speeches. We then ranged ourselves in lines down the aisles of the church, and joining hands sang the Y. M. C. A. hymn; and college secretary Wishard offered prayer, pleading for the continuance of the Holy Spirit upon us, and who can estimate the power of such a prayer, participated in by so many earnest Christian men Tue iadies of the different denominations furnished elegant lunches during the week for the delegates and their friends, and on the Monday following the convention, nearly 400 delegates, wives and friends, excursionized for two days to Del Monte, Pacific Grove and Santa Cruz. During the whole time we were well entertained and cared for; notably at the city of the Holy Cross, where the repasts were most sumptuous, and the local Y. M. C. A. met us with a band and conducted us toa pavilion where were millions of fragrant and beautiful flowers, such as can only be produced by the golden state. Your delegate was abundantly blessed and most thoroughly impressed with the importance of greater activity by all classes and conditions of men in Y. M. C. A. work; and determines to attend as many conventions as practicable. Your delegate feels grateful that the honor and privilege of representing the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. at the 27th International Convention of Y. M. C. A. was conferred upon Thos. S. Southwick. �\ TTTTLDER'S STEAMSHIP CO., Importer and " KINAU," • Comma..'. Weekly Trips for Hilo and Way Ports.

He says that the United States of America is the largest existing machine of that kind. His meaning is plain. That country possesses English institutions, language and civilization. It has these in such force nnd activity that it has so far been able to assimilate the enormous mass of immigration pouring in from Europe, It has been able generally in one generation 10 convert all those different classes of people into English-speaking people with much of Anglo Saxon ways of thinking and acting. None of the other countries, sprung from England, such as Canada and Australia—receive and assimilate large bodies of other races. As America is the greatest English nation, so it is the great converter of all sorts of men into ultimate English men in speech and general customs. Now to go from the great to the small, we wisli to point out that Hawaii is gradually getting into working order as a small but somewhat effective " Anglo-Saxonizing machine." Probably no well informed and thinking man among us has any other expectation for the future of the Hawaiian Islands than that they will be the home of a population which will be at least, Englishspeaking. And to our mind, the universal use of the language will carry with it much of the exercise of English thought and practice of English customs. English is already settled in its place as the controlling language of the country It is the governing language of the laws and of the courts. It is supreme in business, and in journalizing. Our public schools are taught in English, except a few primary schools in back districts which are still taught in the Hawaiian tongue. The Portuguese if they care to have their children schooled at all, want them to be taught in '' 1887. 63 The Friend. Number 8. as well as having been politically misguided, we are able to avow a 'strong per. sonal regard for him, and sympathy with him as in great troubles, and a most hearty desire that a cordial and honest change of attitude and conduct may hereafter earn for hI*lll' the respect of honorable men. We must not judge any King of Hawaii as we would a prince of European training. Although enjoying a good English education, it must be remembered that like other Hawaiian chiefs, he had his birth and training under the overmastering and indescribably corrupting influences of the Hawaiian Royal Court. This Court is an ancient and imposing institution. It has come down from the "great old houses and fights fought long ago." In the ways and practices of its hereditary retinues are embedded the settled customs that grew among and largely embodied the profound vilenesses of heathenism and the sorceries of the old established priestcrafts. Christianity during the days of missionary triumph, repressed but never extirpated this powerful and poisonous brood. Neither Kalakaua or any of his predecessors is responsible for the existence of this court atmosphere of corrupting and heathenizing influence, except in the degree that they may have cultivated and promoted it. But it has been none the less destructive to the The politics of the country are last rang- Hawaiian kings themselves, and to .thouing themselves in Anglo-Saxon lines, that sands of blight and promising Hawaiians the is in lines ol truly Representative govern- who have breathed the malaria of such, both all We must regard Palace/ ment "of the people, by the people, and princes and subjects, with tender charity, for the people,' and that in substantial and no strict judgment. honesty and justice.

Native Hawaiians must assimilate more slowly. Japanese somewhat readily. The Chinese element seems likely to prove the most refractory to the moulding influence of our Anglo-Saxon civilization.

On the whole nothing sct'ns plainer than that the coming people of Hawaii are to bo a quite thoroughly Anglicized people. They will havemany peculiarities of type bequeathed to them by the nationalities originally re presented here—but In the main it will be a country of Englishmen in speech, thought and action, just as America is, though less than half its people actually sprang from an English ancestry. �64 [Augst, 1887. THE FRIEND. white foreigner. On< c more, the Hawaiian throne has been in extreme peril, probably more imminent than ever before, but has had respite. We have a profound conviction that God still has great good in store for the Hawaiians. Not for a long period, to our minds, has the prospect of their social and moral progress appeared more hopeful that it does now, since the tendencies towards pagan retrogression have received a stern rebuke, and the path of forward civilization is agiin invitingly open. God save the King and People of Hawaii: THE HAWAIIAN' REVOLUTION. 'The following is intended to form a brief and dispassionate statement of the leading It is facts connected with the late crisis. designed mainly for the information of friends abroad who may depend upon the FRIEND for their knowledge of what occurs in these Islards. 'The results of the change are chiefly embodied in the new Constitution, which was signed and sworn to by the King, and proclaimed as thenceforth the fundamental law of the land, on the sixth day of July, 1887. 'The new follows the general form and language of the preceding constitution, but is changed in several important particulars, most of them reducing the previously very great powers of the Sovereign. The personal dignities of the King remain unimpaired; his governing power is radically changed. 'The fol owing are the principal changes of importance. Article 20 renders all officers and employees of the government and contractors with the government, ineligible to election to the Legislature. It also renders all members of the Legislature during the whole term for which they were ele< ted incapable of appointment to any other office than that of a member of the Cabinet. This deprives the King of the immense power which he has heretofore enjoyed by means of controlling the action of Legislators who were also government officeholders, subject to removal at his will. Article 41 renders the Cabinet independent of the King, making them movable only by a vote of want of confidence of a majority of all the elective members of the Legislature. This puts an end to the former frequent dismis of Ministers, even in the face of voti ol full confidence. It takes the working 1 of Government wholly awn from under the King's control, and places control of the people's Representatives. Article 48 destroys the King's absolute veto power, giving two-third's of il c I.< filature the power to overrule his veto, air. the case of the President of the United composed of all male residents 'of Hawaiian, American or European descent, possessing $3,000 of taxable unencumbered property, or in receipt of $600 annual income. This appears to be practically the greatest diminution of the King's power, depriving him of the appointment of nearly one-half of the Legislators. It is understood to have been the change to which the King manifested the greatest reluctance to consent. Article 62 does away with all property qualifications for electors of Representatives and, as well as Article 59, extends the franchise to all persons of American and European descent resident in the Islands, whether naturalized or not. 'This article, while fully preserving all the voting privileges of the natives, and indeed .somewhat enlarging them, puts foreigners on a complete equality with them, thus ending the long felt grievance of foreigners that they could not vote without renouncing their nationality, nor then until after the lapse of several years. Article 78 declares that all official acts of the King, not otherwise expressly specified, must be done by and with the advice and consent of the Cabinet. 'The King no longer rules, he only reigns." Article So provides for an early election o( a new Legislature and for an early special session, designed to consolidate and sett'e the working of the new government. There are several other minor and subordinate changes. We believe the above are all that are of material importance. It is evident that these are very great, radically altering the character of the Government, while leaving its outward form. This Constitution is held to possess at least equal validity with the one before it, whii h proceeded entirely from the arbitrary will ot Kamehameha Y. who chose to proclaim it in 1564. As the new Constitution diminishes and impairs no privileges of the people existing before, while it increases and extends those privileges, it is held that no vote of the people is essential to its validity. At any rate, it was who secured the firmly believed by new Constitution, that it was impossible to obtain the necessary changes by tardy legislative processes,-that immediate results must be secured or none. 'These radical concessions were secured from the King solely by a solid and iqfii ier.t exhibition of military force, in the form of a S nail well drilled battalion of the Honolulu Rifles composed of white men. 'To nppase these the King had only a badly demoralized guard ot native soldiers, and he was quite unable to secure either moral or physical support from the native States. people, the majority of whom were either Article 58 somewhat increases the num- indifferent to, or approving of the change ber of the Nobles, causing them to con- of government. It is possible, however, situte one half of the Legislative Assem- that the natives might have rallied to resist bly, limits their term of office to six years his dethronement. 'This issue was happily es< aped. and together with Article 59, deprives the Ring of the Hoth the civii and military arrangements power of appointing the Nobles and trans for this revolution bear all the marks of lers that power to a body of special e'.ei tors thorough, careful and wise preparation. • - < A large proportion of our leading white residents cf all classes and all shades of opinion were manifestly engaged in it, and had been for sometime very quietly pre paring it, and when the day came, prompt ly carried it into effect without a shot or a thrust and without tumult. It was neatly and" thoroughly executed, with absolute success, and without suspending or disturbing for more than a few hours the ordinary functions of government. It received the earnest and unanimous sup port of nearly all white men in the Islands, constituting the very first undertaking in which they have ever before shown substantial unity of purpose. According to custom, much is said in reports sent to San Francisco papers about the part taken by the "missionaries" in this business. Many will wish for reliable information upon this subject. We may perhaps define the popular use of the term as especially designating the several hundred persons attending the white Cor. gregational churches. It is often used to include everybody else in social or moral sympathy with then). There is no doubt that this large and influentialclass ofcitizenshad an active part in this movement, and that among them were sons, grandsons, and sons-in-law of old missionaries. The move tnent however embraced substantially all white men, Portuguese included; and a large proportion of the most influential actors are in no special sympathy with the so-called "missionaries." As far as we are now informed, we believe that the influence of the so-called "missionary element" in this movement was quite conservative, seeking to preserve the rights of the natives, and existing monarchical forms, in opposition to the very radical aims of those not interested in the native people, and who were eager to overturn the throne, and immediately inaugurate Republican government. Many others were equally conservative, and their more moderate counsels prevailed. The King was given the opportunity of yielding, which he happily embraced. Bloodshed and tumult were avoided. 'The complications and disturbances attendant on extreme Revolutions have been escaped. Mary regrets have been emphatically expressed that Republican Government was not established, and the whole movement his been accordingly denounced as a failure We have heard no expressions of this sort li.'in persons whom anybody would be apt to call "missionary" people. We have not thought it necessan I state the natuie of the alleged grievant and corruptions ofgovernment which led t > the late Revolution. These have been amply ventilated, and according to report, further disclosures are pending. There is no doubt that public dissatisfaction hail been so intensifying for many months that a violent crisis was seen to be imminently impending, and that a large body of capa ble and experienced men wisely assumed leadership and successfully forestalled dis astrous results. The above may suffice for an outline ol the facts as we understand them. . < �Volume 45, No. B.] PROFESSOR DANA'S VISIT. We gladly record and welcome the second visit to Hawaii of the eminent Geol ogist and mineralogist James I). Dana, LI..D. for thirty seven years Silliman Pro. fessor of those sciences in Vale University. Dr. Dana's first visit to these Islands was in 1840, as the Geologist and Mineralogist of the U. S. Exploring Expedition commanded by Capt. Wilkes, he having charge also of the department of Crustacea and Corals, on which subjects, as well as upon the Geology and Volcanoes of the Pacific, especially of Hawaii, Dr. Dana issued elaborate reports, which secured to him the highest rank in his departments of science. Upon the Coral Islands of the Pacific, Professor 1 >ana stands as the highest authority. His Uxt books and manuals of Geology and Mineralogy are held of indispensable use in all schools ©f Natural Science. Especially has no one contributed so much to the record of facts, or to the study of theory concerning Hawaiian volcanoes, as Professor Dana. As chief editor for a long period of the American Junrnal of Science ami Arts, which has always been the leading scientific journal of America, he has long been, as it were, the chief clerk or secretary of American Scientific work. His own separate papers include hundreds of titles, and according to President Oilman of Johns Hopkins University, "are unsurpassed in extent and value by those ofany American philosopher.'' Dr Dana comes crowned with years and iionors, to revisit the scenes of his youthful researches, after an absence of forty-seven years, for the especial object* of renewed personal observation of volcanic phenomena, in view of farther revisions of and additions to his writings on the subject. How great the changes during those years both in America and Hawaii! The (iolden Gate was then an almost unexplored passage, and Honolulu a town of grass and adobe huts, with scarcely a tree. No steamship had then ever visited the Pacific Ocean, nor even a steam-engine. Our mails were then five months in coming, snd now only twelve days. There are almost none of the old time people remaining to greet him. Professor Dana has however many personal friends, pupils, correspondents and students of his books in these Islands, who will make him teel at home. Like Louis Agassi/, Dr. Dana has an end nent son, Dr. Edward S. Dana, who is a ieading specialist in crystallography, inheriting the gifts not only of his father, but of his distinguish! d grandfather, Professor Silliman. We would add that Mr. Premier W. 1., (ireen kindly loaned us his copy of "I >ana's (Geology " the other day with the remark that he "knew it all by heart." The wellworn book bears marks of the truth of that statement. 65 THE FRIEND. TRIUMPH OF MR. for priU'c deem them of some historical interest. They are also a priceless record of the honest manliness of a devout missionary in dealing with his royal master, in order to save him from destroying himself, and his people with him. Kauikeaouli, the King, was not a wilfully evil man. He had good intentions, and in some important respects was an eminently good King. But he inherited the sensuality of his race and did not easily bridle his will when his appetites were inflamed. 'To such a ruler a resolute monitor like the devoted Armstrong was invaluable. A king tan fall into no waxmore evil than to count his passions and caprices supreme, his own will the law, and himself a sort of earthly god. It is then fortunate for him if there are those who can quell him, and still happier if he comes to heartily acquiesce, as did Kauikeaouli, in their control. No incident of his official life is more completely char acteristic than the following, the descrip tion Of which is taken partly from his journal and partly by his son from the records Of the Privy Council: " May 20th, 1849. Preached ihis evening in ilir GREEN'S THEORY. Armstrong's children, and printed vate circulation. By the following letter of Mr. Martin, late Hawaiian Consul-General to France and Belgium, it appears that in France a complete and general acceptance has been accorded tothetheory presented many years ago by the Hon. \V. L. Green of Honolulu in his book entitled " Vestiges of the Molten Globe," as to the cause of the peculiar and somewhat regular arrangement and forms of the great continental and ocean masses of the Earth's surface, a theory more specifically known as that of the "Tetrahedral Collapse" of the Earth's crust upon its shrinking interior. Paris, June 2d, IXB7. Hon. W. L. Green, Honolulu. S. I, Dear Sir: lam requested by the Pjris ideographical Society to transmit to you the enclosed circular. Our .Society has a very fine and numerous collection of portraits of almost all the Scientific men in the world, and we would be very happy to have yours. Your'name is often on the lips ami in the books of all the French geologists; for, as 1 am happy to say, your theory of the formation of the- globe has now been adopted and is currently taught by the great majority of professors of geology in this country, as agreeing better with the facts than Elie dc Beaumont's What has become of the hook you mentioned about two years ago as being ready for the press? Main s< ientific men often ask me if you have not published anything new, and 1 am at a loss to answer. I have the honor to remain, dear Sir. yours very sincerely and respectfully. William Martin. The Editor feels a particular interest in the facts above slated, on account of having, soon after the appearance of Mr. Green's book, published a confident prediction that his theory would ultimately become the one taught in the schools as correctly explaining the main outlines of the Earth's surface. We are happy to state that the maps and diagrams for Mr. Green's new book on Volcanic Action are nearly completed, when the work will at once go to press. We regard the forthcoming book as one of the most valuable contributions of the period to volcanic science. It is especially full in tacts and able in discussions respecting Hawaiian Volcanoes. Al my request none of the young chiefs were present bill Alexandei Liholiho (the adopted son of the King and his successor as Kamehameha IV), and none others but the principal chiefs and those immediately about the King, and well acquainted with his manner of life. The discourse was the most pointed I ever delivered in the presence of his Majesty and nothing hut a sense of duty could induce a minittei Uut to deliver such a sermon to any class of men. the King's course of life has of late been so dissolute, and ruin to himself, if not to his dynasty, so sine if he persists in it. that my hcail could get no relief until I had spoken to him ODCemore,boldly, iv i bul's name to abandon sin and flee from impending ruin. My own soul has been burdened beyond endurance by the King's conduct, and this evening God enabled me to speak freely, but, I trust, findly to him. Bui I have abme apprehension as to the result." palace from Proverbs 15: iS. 'That he did not over-estimate the consequences of his plain speaking, is shown by the at tion of the Privy Council, of which his son writes; (in Sunday evening, Ma> 20th, 1549, 311 even', trouble, and occurred which caused Mr. A. great nearly cost him his office. He had for some months held, with the king's permission, a prayer service in the " Palace " on Sunday evenings, which the and the chiefs attended. I'oi some royal family days the king had been mote dissipated than usual, anil had refused to listen to the remontsrances ol his ailviseis, I ir. Iv Id and Mr. A. These gentlemen had often threatened to resign their offices, if the king continued to publicly disgrace himself, and, by this means, had brought him back to a stale of sobriety. At this time the king appeared 10 lose control' of himself, and refused lo allow ARMSTRONG REPROVES KAME these gentlemen to reach his presence. Mr. A., HAMEIII. believing that the time had cunt for heroic treatThe incidents narrated below are now ment, dev.ited some minutes of the prayer service of this date, the king being present and partially published for the first time. They were sober, to address him on the subject ol his exalted extracted by a former Cabinet officer, VV. pusition, the effect of his example before the people the disgrace which his conduct had brought Kevins Armstrong, from the old records and on himself and on the government. The king was of the Privy Council, anil by him incorpo- greatly offended at his remarks and on the next brought the mailer before the Privy Council, rated in a little memorial volume concern- day lie stated thai the remarks made to him in the ing his father, which was lately written by >r. prayer .mice should have lieen made in private: I �that he restrained himself, with difficulty, fn in leaving the room and that he felt that he had been grossly insulted. Mr. A. replied that he might have made a mistake in judgment, hut that he had been moved to make the remarks by a sense of duty. The king then retired from the Privy Council, after requesting that the subject should be carefully considered. Paki, an old chief, said that the king was hurt because the truth had been slated; that he had conversed with his majesty that morning, and his majesty had informed hint that the ministers and chiefs had better bring his reign lo a close at once. Dr. Judd informed the Piivy Council that he had threatened several times, to resign unless the king kept sober. He thought the remaiks complained of might better have been made elsewhere, and for that reason he thought Mr. A. might be censured, but if he was, there should be a full explanation of the circumstances. Paki thought that the king would take Mr. A's life, after the service, and suggested that Mr. A. be brought before the king, with the request that he deal with him gently, for he thought that the king was not vindictive; other chiefs expressed the opinion lhat Mr. A. had spoken the truth, but that, as it was done in public, it had naturally incensed the king. Mr. Wyllic, the Minister of foreign Affairs, a wealthy and eccentric Scotchman, who had, by persistent diplomatic despatches to oilier nations forced the Hawaiian Government into notice and recognition, said that he knew of nothing so likely lo cause the king to abdicate, as public reproof; that if the king abdicated, there would be a Republic, and the chiefs would lose their rank and their lands; that most kings drank liquor, and got more or less drunk, but he never heard of their being rebuked by their ministers, because of it. lie did not think the king wished lo punish Mr. Armstrong, and suggested that a disapproval of ihe public reproof would be sufficient. Mr. Armstrong stated to the Council that he had repeatedly admonished the king for his sin of drunkenness, and finally made a public reproof as a last resorl. He felt that he might have been in error in so doing and would submit to any punishment which the Council should impose, whether it was deprivation of office or imprisonment. ( Hher native chiefs then spoke, expressing love and confidence in Mr. Armstrong, but regretting that he should have censured the king in public. The following resolutions were then adopted 1. Rttetoed, That the members of the I'rivj Council deeply regret that the feelings of the king have been hurt by remarks on his private conduct, addressed to him personally, last evening. h'ewlvcJ, That the members of the Privj 2. Council fully nly on the king's sense of propriety and honor so lo comport hinisell as to keep up the respectability of bis character, Ha man, and his dignity as a king, for the good ol his subjefSS, "3. AVm/.-v./, That the members of the council express the hose that no occasion will occui to hurt the feelings of the king, by any public remarks on his private conduct, and thai the king will lor jet what has pa-t. A committee, therefore, took ihe resolutions to ihe king, who, alter reading tin in. said lhat he thought that Mi. Armstrong was making the chiefs disaffected towards him, bui that he would reftect on the matter, On the following day the king senl word to the council that Mr. Armstrong nrusl be removed removed, he from office, and that, if he was should abdicate. Paki said thai i.c would agree to Mr. Armstrong's dismissal from office, it the king would promise to reform. Mr. li. an niil chief, said that he would not consent to the dls missal, because the hull was »ith the king. Kanaina, the father of Lunalilu, who became king in 1.574, made an imaginary tddiess lo the king, and Hated what inconveniences and evil residis would follow a dismissal. It was then suggested tiial the king be asked il be would be satisfied if the ollice ol chaplain to the Royal lainily be taken from Mr. Armstrong, but lhat he be allowed to hold bit office as Minister of Public Instruction. A committee waited upon the king and made the request, but the king demanded that it should be put in writing." Mr. Wyllie informed ihe council lhat he had assisted in placing Mr. Armstrong in office, but that he would prefer his dismissal to the king's abdication. He suggested that the : ' " [August, THE FRIEND. 66 council ask the king to forgive Mr. Armstrong; that many kings were irregular in their,conduct, hut, still, they were God's sovereigns, for all that. In his opinion it almost amounted to high treason lo speak in the council ef the king's indiscretions. A new committee then waited on the king, and informed him that the council requested him to forgive Mr. Armstrong. The king replied that he now understood that he was really regarded as king by his Privy Council, and accordingly forgave Mr. Armstrong. From this time until the king's death, the king placed great confidence in Mr. Armstrong. His quiet humor and genial manner was a strong agency in controlling the king and chiefs; they felt that he was a true friend. In small matters, which they considered of much moment, he patiently advised with them. He undestood their simple, child-like natures, and realized how greatly their actions were controlled by their feelings, rather than by their reason. On one occasion a chief, delighted with his assistance in the settlement of a dispute, pointed out certain lands, and said lo him. "That is yours," and was much surprised that he did not accept the gift. Mr. Armstrong's last entry in his journal in regard to this, matter is as follows: I did not attend Privy Council to-day. At 2 o'clock I)r. Judd returned and informed me that it was pau " (ended). I assured him of my love and loyalty and of my sorrow at having given him offence. In doing so I was conscious of nothing but anxiety for his welfare and that of his government. The interview was in his private room and no one else was present. Thus this storm has blown over. My prayer is lhat God will bring good nut of il to the King, the nation, and to myself above all. I need more of the wisdom lhat is rom above. God grant it me." " " And illustration of the curiously simple relations which underlay the external form and ceremony of the little Kingdom, is given by an entry in the journal made on the evening of the same day : "The King and (Jueen and Mr. and Mis. Young took tea with us this evening an I all went off pleasantly. Mr. and Mrs. Thurston weie also with us, and we had family prayers. A VISIT TO THE PACIFIC COAST. lite and Light.] ll' BY MRS. ARTHUR SMITH. March, 1887. On boar,l .Mercury, hound for Jlong A'i>n;cDeab Sisters \i No. 53: Far away among the volcanic isles of the Pacific, I find my thoughts turning lovingly to you. On this Friday, while I lie here on a long steamer hair, fanned by a tropical breeze so soft and languid that it only flaps our sail idly, and carries us no whither, you. wrapped in your furs, aie hurrying to the spot which will m.ike you ftcl that you never were cold ill y"Ut life Would ihat 1 were with you cm more, and yet no farther than now from my beloved China. It warm, toy heart ut lo remember the tine when Is.ii among you. We had a safe and prosperous journey to the Pacific coast after lea\ ing you, and we sailed thenceontile-eighteenth of I lee. mber, in company with my dear mother, for Honolulu, where we were to spend the winter. While there it was a pleasure to meet, several times, one of our most interesting Sister Hoards. I wonder if any one has ever made you acquainted ? I feel that you cannot afford to miss the knowledge of each other. You cannot afford it, because the Honolulu Hoard is a most remarkable, admirable, and sympathetic one, — c ■■ 1887. whose acquaintance would enrich any one Nor can they afford to miss the inspiration of your loyal, loving Chicago hearts; for they can but feel the isolation of theit Board life, 2,100 miles form the nearest Sister, with rip possibility of annual handclasp or heart-communion. I suppose it to be the most remarkably constituted Woman's Hoard in the World. Everywhere in America one finds in the service of the Woman's Hoard choice spirits, cultured, executive women, with heart* attuned to Christ's last command, —women of far sighted wisdom and sanctified common sense. 'The sisterhood of Honolulu has one grace denied these others; 1 may call it the grace of birth. In America it is educated into you, stamped into you, by Children's Mission Hands, by Voting Ladies' Missionary Societies, and later by Women's Hoards, that missions are the noblest work on earth. In Honolulu it has just been born into them. 'They do not believe that missions pay; they know it. 'They know it just as they know that Diamond Head is beautiful, and Rilauea is grand. Let us look a moment at their rank and file, as they sit in the quaint old Fort Si Church basement. In the presiding chair we shall find a face full of sweetness a"Vid strength, and shall hear a voice full ol cheery sympathy in its welcome to all pres ent. We find a heart so large that it car. love far-away China almost as well as its own Micronesia, and plan to send an only son there some day. Here is not simply a theory that missions are good. She does not say, " I.ct some one else 'go into all the world' and do the preaching, and we will see to the-dollars;" no, indeed ! In tar away Apiang are dusky faces that would brighten at sight of her—Apiang to which her heart fondly dings, though its unprodui live shores nearly cost her her dearest treasure. By some strange suggestion of contrast, one look into her tranquil fat c reminds one < ! a night her husband once described. It w#s when they sat, solitary and defenseless, in a little island home, while a band ol lien c lavages without, with, hideous yells ami outi ries, danced about, thirsting for their blood. Aye, verily, mis sirtns are something more than a theory in the he.on of those here present. We can not dwell on their past, but if all the Bp dangers and hardships of these mid 1 is before us in sudden pant rama, we should wish to take our shoes tin pres* n< eofmh i from 1 in ti lisin. 'Two years ago, when we were last in Honolulu, the president's (hair was draped in black ; for one of the noblest of thei (hoti c women had gone to her rest, leaving behind her, like the glory of a fadeless sunset sky, the memory of her long, loving, self-denying lite given to Hawaii. A worthy daughter of hers has the not inconsiderable task of carrying the bag tot this society. A word later about her bags, and how they are tilled in Honolulu. I do not need to tell you, who are rich • �Volume 45. No. B.] in rare women, that it is a very important part of the success of a missionarysociety to have a good secretary. They, too, are no whit behind. I trust this letter may stimulate you to send for their published reports, and prove the truth of my statement. Scattered about among the benches, let us pick out the faces full of Heaven's own peace,— the blessed mothers in Israel, the missionaries of long ago, whose presence would be a benediction to any meeting on earth. Many a loving service is still received from them by that Hawaii Nei to which, so long ago, their young lives were given. But the conflict is nearly over for them. Silver hair crowns the dear faces, and the strength of that long ago hardly abides with them now. "Mother Cooke,'' ''Mother Castle," "Mother Rice," "Mother Parker," as they are lovingly called, forgive us if we call you out by name, would that every Woman's Hoard had an edition of you ! Yonder sits another, lit companion for such hearts,- wife of the great-hearted, cordial, loving sailors' chaplain of llano lulu, who knew sailors, and loved and understood them as if he had been brought up "before the mast." The great heart is t)tliet now; the chaplain's work is ended; but dear "Mother Damon'' still carries her burdens with a brave spirit. The lovely face over there that wins your glance and holds it, —whose is that? Ah 1 there is the romance of the Woman's Hoard. She is a missionary of the American Hoard to the 20,000 Chinese on these islands, and the only specimen of a ready-made missionary ever heard of by the writer. The Chinese there speak chiefly Cantonese; antl when the son of the sailors' chaplain above mentioned set himself to work for that strange, alien people in the island home of his childhood, he could expect no better help in his artluous work than other poor mis sionaries have to put up with. They must expect a male dumb and stammering, like any beginner in a strange tongue. But lo what grace is this conferred by Heaven? A veteran missionary in Canton has a daughter reared there to whom the Cantonese dialect is idiomatic; to whom the Chinese people, their prejudices, their i ustoms and habits of thought, are an open book well read. She is transplanted to bless the new home in Hawaii. Think of il! No long, heart-wearying novitiate; no struggling with pent up desire for work; no groping in the dark after methods; but fresh, young strength, and fullness of utterance, without one idle, waiting year. A Chinese overseer on a sugar plantation said of her: "Missce talkce belly well indeed. When man talkee Chinaman he all stay out; he no go in. Missee talkee, plenty Chinaman all come inside listen to her. They stay. They all still." Another Chinese friend said, with an enthusiasm that seemed strangely Occidental, " She speaks our language better than we do." But time would fail me to tell of the ' THE FRIEND. sister on your right who shared the life of the man who made Hilo forever memorable; of the unselfish worker on the left who still toils for Hawaiian women; of the active sister in front, the wife of the l'resi dent of the Pacific Institute, where they make Hawaiian ministers; of her work among the native girls, who not only study and play the piano, but sew, knit, crochet, and make fearful and wonderful silk quilts at their missionary meetings; of all the other busy workers in the Cousins' Missionary Society; of the Cleaners, and the Y. M. C A. boys. As we look about, nearly all the women in that room are daughters or daughters-in-law of the old missionaries, though 1 see in the background faces familiar to you and belonging rather to the Chicago than the Honolulu circle. It seems more like a missionary meeting in one of our mission-fields than a Woman's Board. Now, a word as to that bag and its contents. Their regular gifts seemed to me royal in quantity, and were conferred as if giving were a noble privilege they could not be persuaded to forego. Being invited lo speak to them the last afternoon I was there, I told them about our dear little chapel in Panng Chuang, the result of so much self denying effort by po r men, poor women, and poorer little children, and how help had come from unexpected sources more than one c, a beautiful story of helpful lo\c. 1 told it simply for the encouragement it gave,-the story of earnest souls striving in the midst of poverty for self-help. 'The hour was late and the meeting was dismissed, but as most of the ladies neared the door an earnest voice said, " Please wait a moment; I think we want a little share in that chapel." I have been in places where such a proposition was followed by a marked increase of activity round the outside door. I was surprised at the suggestion. They had already taken up their contribution, not a small one, and they airy a heavy load of responsibility and work all the time. 'The mere handful of them support missionaries in Microbe' sia, besides lesser burdens. In a few moments the beaming treasurer counted into my palm twenty-three dollars. I was amazed but thankful. Some ladies did not have their pocket-books with them; naturally they were absolved from all responsibility, as it was an unexpected i ah, and that was the end of it. The end of it? No, indeed not in Honolulu ! 'The next day a lady drove up. to tall. She had no money with her yesterday. She had fifteen dollars in shining goldpieces today, -gifts from herself and two daughters. Small sums came in from various people who had wanted to give the previous day, and could not, some coming miles to bring the gifts. One young lady brought ten dollars in gold from papa and mama, and a five-dollar piece, proceeds of the tardy fund, it being a rule in the family that members late to any meal must put something into the missionary box. 'The Panng Chuang Church will feel those < 67 tardinesses have been blessed to the family. One business man heard of it, investigated, and derided it to be a good, sound invest ment, and sent fifteen dollars to the Lord's bank. 'Ihe Cousins' Missionary Si ciety and the dear Young Lady Ghanetl sent shining reinforcements, so that almost before we knew it we had one hundred and eighteen dollars and fifty cents toward the debt on our chapel; and what they started for was to furnish a Bible ! Do you not agree with me that Honolulu understands the real grace, and tastes the real joy of giving ? Now, life is short, and 1 dare not begin to enumerate the works of this Island Sister of yours; but are thty not all written, nay, printed, and to be read of men? The more you know of it the more you will honor them. Beloved, will you not send them a lettet of greeting and love, and make your own lives richer by this friendship? 'Trusting you will, I remain, Sours, with constant and abiding affcc tion, EMMA Dickinson SMITH. HILO BOARDING SCHOOL. The fifty first year of Hilo Hoarding School has just closed; and the examination and exhibition exercises, marking the occasion, were most interesting. Studying and reciting, as the boys do, wholly in English, they showed commend able aptitude in the use of that to them a foreign tongue; —far more than the specta tors present at the examination would have shown, had they been required with only a year or two of practice in it, to ex press themselves under the fire of a rigid cross-questioning in ancient Creek. The three most interesting exercises of the examination wtre the writing of sentences in English on the black board, generally without mistake, the correct solving of arithmetical problems, also on the black-board, and the rehearsal by word of mouth of extended stretches of American and English history, showing not mere verbal memorizing but the possession ol facts and ideas given in their own words. It was well done. Among the noteworthy changes during the past year is first, the erectk n of the Industrial building, in which the boys are to be taught carpentry, furniture making (some very (reditable work in this line has already been done;, tailoring and print ing. 2, the introduction into the s< hool curriculum of band music.

It is known to many of our readers, that Dr. J. K. Smith of Kauai, and his sister, have been interesting friends in Boston in their project of securing additional Christian workers to labor among the Hawaiians. The Hawaiian Hoard lias prepared and sent on to Boston a request to the A. H. C. 1'. M. to resume, at this critical juncture, its old relations to the Hawaiian Islands, and re-organize the Sandwich Island Mission. Sc< retary Smith writes from Boston, 'We had a gathering of friends in my room last Monday, June 20, in the interest of the new work in the Hawaiian Islands it which Gen. Armstrong, Dr. Smith and his ister, Gen. Marshall, Mr. Hartwell, and Gen. Anmtong's mother tcok part along with several clergymen of Boston and vicinity. A very hearty response to the general call for more laborers was made, and I think we may count upon rom] t and generous support of this new measure whenever it shall be fairly inaugurated. A good many of the young pastors ha\e been conferred with in regard to undertaking this work; and some are quite The Kamehameha Constitution, now happily superseded, asserted tlntthe country belonged to the King: "the Kingdom is his." The Hawaiians natura'ly interpreted this to mean that the King had supreme control over the people, their persons and their property. He could order any notion of his carried out, in church or state. He could take all the money he wanted, wherever he could get it. The King owned everybody and everything, and as the Constitution also asserted, was above all law. With such fundamentally erroneous sentiments it is'not strange that our Hawaiian churches have suffered from the Kind's in terference with the management and po'ic y of individual churches and of ecclesiastii al organizations. As the pastors and deacons are usually the leading men in any community, they have in many instances been induced, or compelled, to lent! offin carrying out the Emg's political S< hemes, and managing elections, and voting for the King's candidates. This sort of interference with the legitimate work of out churches is, we may tru>t, finally and for all time abandoned. At least, this is one in< lined to consider the question. It will be a matter of a good deal of delof the political reforms demanded and secured by the mass meeting held June ;,o. icacy to find just the right persons, such It is an auspicious time to inaugurate as are really adapted to the work, and can needful changes in the eclesiasttcal polic) al the same time receive the endorsement ofthe Hawaiian Churches.

EXTRACTS FROM REV. R. LOGAN'S JOURNAL. Our own school progresses favorably The attendance of most of the scholars is regular and all are learning We now ha\e twenty seven Ruk people reading in the Testament. Some scholars had complained tha' they could nut get cocoanutl enough to buy Testaments, but Capt. Narrhun als.i buys arrow-root, anil all who can read have now provided themselves with Testa ments, paying arrow-root; and nearly all have bought also the Bible Stories, so that they are well supplied with br.oks. At the out stations, also, they have bought many books, mostly primers, paying (or thei" with arrow root. We are so very glad that there is a market for the arrow-root, which is very abundant here, and of c\< eller I quality. Our house building goes on slowly. There are three under way, two for the Training scholars and one foi Karolina which we plan as the nucleus t>> a girls' school. There is trouble to find leaves for thatching. 'The leaf of the ivoiy palm is used, but the tree is scarce. We have been to some of the other islands and now have enough to complete the three houses. One couple in the training s, |,o«.i brought a baby about two years old. I sickened, some weeks ago, and last Sur day died. The parents feel the loss very keenly. I did the best I knt'w how to do for the child, but medicine did not sect to help. Arthur made a little coffin f"i him and we had a service at the grave, the first Christian burial here. Wednesday last, Hay 19th, Mr. Wortl and Moses started for Murlloi k. We fell anxious to have the t hun hes visited again, hoping to slir tip more interest and quicken the religious hie. 'There are bul three ten hers fur ihe ten churches, outside Of Kills, and the life of the people has rather stagnated. We chartered Capi Narrhun's little vessel ($25 for the trip:, three of our boys went to help sail her, and Capt. Narrhun sent one of his men, hoping be could trade some in unobjei tionable arliiles.

It is exceedingly gratifying to the friends of Te nperance lo observe the growing interest in the Blue Ribbon movement which seems to pervade the community among both foreigners and natives. The Blue Ribbon League holds a public meeting in the Association Hall every Saturday evening which is well attended, and some new names are added t) the pledge-roll every meeting. The Y. M. C. A. Committee on Temperance Work continue to co-operate with the League, believing the cause needs all the strength that union of forces can give it. The native Blue Ribbon League holds an interesting meeting every week, and they have received large accessions to their numbers, Stand by your color, brother—and the popular color just now is bin; then get some body else to stand by your side.

A very imooriant and helpful feature of the Sunday evening Gospel meetings has been the excellent singing, which has surpassed that of any meeting of equal size the writer ever at.ended. The secret of this musical success was largely due the efficient leadership of Mi.-,s Mary Atherton, who for the past two years, or more, has most faithfully performed the double services of presiding at the piano and leading the singing; her spirited touch and strong leading voice imparted life and energy to all present. Miss Atherton graduated lion Oahu College with high honors in June and sailed lor California July sth. where she will spend a well earned vaca'i in with tela lives, after which she intends t.iking 1 four years course of Study in the States.

All the numbers were well rendered and enthusi astically received; several elicited hearty encores. A bountiful supply of ice cream and cake added much to the sociability of the occasion and helped to make the evening mutually pleasant to the representatives of sea and land.

SEPTEMBER, 1887. the gravest moment as well to those who are concerned for the moral welfare, as to those who stiive for the material prosperity of this country. The question is primarily whether we are to have Consti tuiional and Representative Government, Of whether we are to revert lo the despotic and capricious form of Government which has been ({rowing for six yens to a shameful culmination. This issue, as we all know, involves the questions of ct onomit:il oi wasteful expenditure,; of financial credit, or of national ban! rnpt» v: of light or heavy taxation; of expenditure productive of public improvements, or of a con tinned absence of improved streets, side walks, and good roads. So heavy anil urgent has become the pressure of these questions of material well being, thai they whole royal power was actively sapping and breaking down the fetble honesty and imperfect probity of the native people, and through them, of the rest of the population. Intimately associated with the material and moral evils which go to make up the great issues of the present struggle between civilisation and barbarism, is the attendant revival in high quarters, ot Strictly heathen abominations. We do not 'arc to nunc than allude to the practice of heathen sacrifices, to son cries, to deification of royalty, to foul heathen orgies, and to the immense elaboration of the unspealcabteness of the hulas. 'These were the natural concomtl mis of the general lapse away from civilized and atone rendered inevitable the speedy Constitutional Government, back towards winding up of the barbaric Asiatic style of the despotism and license vi the heath >n regime that has been fatuously wasting past. tic revenues earned by civilized and enThese features do really to mil mmd, it rpi ising men dns, till Twoeal-nighmtes graver question involved is thai of hoi i sty or debauchery in the Civil Service. In dor the late regime it had come to pass that, as in the service of Indian princes, there was Bcatcel) any degree of dis lioiKsiy, or any amount ol i that would not be condoned in a royal favorite or an efficient partisan Public h nors and emoluments had come to depend mainly on the will of a single in dividual. Dishonesty and debauchery had come (0 be at a premium. 'The pub lit seuiee and even the lower judiciary was fast becoming a training school for knaves and corruptionists. Probity, honesty, business integrity are tilings in which 1haracttrize the late regime as a Heathenizing* one. There is' in the Hawaiian rue as vi the New Zealand, and truly in every rate a i ndency to revert to old debated condilii ns and beliefs. The rallying cry 1.1" "1 lawaii for the Ilawaiians," was largely used and accepted as antagonistic to Christian belief and practice, and calling fir reversion to old heathen ways. The of "National" self-applied in the Government party was a call to re-affirm tl old national way, of th' Heathen ■ tin Christian. When such issues as these exist, when barbaric strives against civilized govern ment, and heathen rule again.l CI i and when this occurs in a state pos such light and wealth and social pi Hawaii, the result of the conflict canthe lately heathen Hawaiian most needs not well be doubtful.

This is precisely the issue before us at this election. It is so great, so fundamental, and so instantly pressing, that we would subordinate all other political or personal questions to it. We do not know much about some of the nomi- nees of the Reform Party. Some names have been left off the ticket which we should have been greatly pleased to vote tor. But in this great crisis, we intend to vote every name on the ticket just as it stands. When at future elections, as we hope, less vital issues only shall be before us,' we may feel it our liberty and even our duty to scratch and divide our votes. We may, then, if in charge of these col umns, think it inexpedient to discuss in them any of those issues. Tor entering into politics of the present kind, we feel the need of no apology. MR. DOANE'S CAPTIVITY. The American Hoard have had very few missionaries in the Pacific Ocean, more highly esteemed than Rev. E. T Doane of I'onape. He has labored there patiently, faithfully anel zealously for thirty-three years, inclusive of short intervals of absence. He is well known to his brethren here and abroad as possess ing not only great force and intelligence, but also a zeal for Christ and His flock that is tempered with prudence. No one who knows brother Doane is likely to suppose for a moment that he has ever tampered with or instigated the natives of Ponape to resist the Spanish authority which has been set over them with the consent of Europe. He has himself distinctly expressed his sense of the serviceablcncss of a strong government of that sort over the people. His letters claim for the Christian work and influence of the mission the credit of the quiet yielding of the Ponape people to their newrules. It is not improbable, quite the contrary, that Mr. Doane and every other Protestant teacher has been diligent in instructing and exhorting the native Christians to be steadfast in adhering to the teachings of the Bible, and in resisting the efforts of the Spanish priests and monks to pervert them to Romanism. This he had the right to do, in accordance with the proclamation of the Spanish Governor. It does not appear that the Catholic priests had any part in the accusations brought against Mr. Doane of treasonable acts. Knowing what «ur missionaries in from that source, we may be pardoned i we are too ready to surmise such instigating influences at Ponape. In lack, however, of any present evidence, we assume that the only source of the false accusations is the one mentioned, a class of dissolute white men, naturally hostile to missionaries who labor for sobriety and chastity. At any rate, our dear brother Donne has betn for several months a prisoner on board of a Spanish gunboat, and when last heard from, in the city of Manila. We do net know whether he suffered the usual indignities accorded to prisoners, or whether his venerable aspect and sweet Christian dignity secured to him any special courtesy and forbearance. As much as this we surmise, that brother Doane made good use of the opportunity to learn Spanish, and that he has told of Jesus ami salvation wherever he could. We shall not wonder to hear that our dear captive apostle has preached Christ even in Manila, that city until now close sealed against the Bible and against any knowledge ot the Lord Jesus except that so dimly imparted among the thit k supersti tions of Spanish priestcraft. It' an o; ening should now be found to carry Gospel light to the Philippine Islam's: if brother Doane's captivity should result in directing Christian love and zeal to relieve the spiritual needs ol that populous group, then his captivity and sufferings of body and mind will indeed not hive been in vain. 'This aftair must ie a somewhat conspicuous one; we pray that it may all fall out for the furtheri the Gospel, and especially lor the kindling ot Christian zeal for the Lord's Kingdom in Mi' ronesia ami the Phillip pines. The Rev. E. G. Beckwith, D. D., sailed for his home in San Francisco on the a6th tilt., after having supplied the pulpit of Port-Street Church during bis summer vacation. A very unanimous call was extended to him to become the pas tor of the new church to be organized by the union of the Fort-Street and Bethel Union Churches. To this call Dr. Keckwith gave a conditional acceptance, subject to such reconsideration as might prove necessary upon his arrival in San Francisco, Our two churches feel greatly encouraged by the prospect of the energetic and experienced labors of this greatly esteemed and beloved servant of the Lord. The Rev. Lowell Smith, D. I)., while Spain and their converts have suffered unharnessing bis horse at his former resi- dence in Nuuanu Valley, had his vehicle upset upon his body. Some severe bruises were sustained, and a fracture of the head of the left humerus. After the lapse of two weeks, the bone appears to be knitting, and the patient seems very comfortable and cheerful. Dr. Smith has attained the great age of eighty-five yean, and since the death of Father Lyons has been the senior missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. in these Islands. He has not ceased from active daily visitation among the native people Of Honolulu, except when ill. The sym pathics of the whole community are with the venerable and beloved missionary. L. L.

Tuncm HOU, NORTH China, i May 31, 18.57. 1 Dear Mr. Oggel: —l have not forgotten that I promised to send you a line from somewhere, but our point of view has been so constantly changing, that it has generally not seemed clear whether we a ere just leaving, or had not yet arrived; we reat bed Hongkong in thirty-threedays from Honolulu, which though somewhat more than we had planned for, was much le-s than some other vessels have been known to take. We thoroughly enjoyed the ship Mercury after so many steamers, and the children had for once all the deck raom that could be desired. 'The time of reaching Hongkong was about the worst of the year, and our impressions were not very favorable of that great resort of ships. The hotels were all so full, that we had to stay on the ship all the time we were in port. In Canton we spent a delightful nine days, the guests of Dr. and Mrs. Graves, of the Southern Baptist Mission, and we saw enough of the work in that city to appreciate the difficulties as also the progress that has been made. It is hard to realize that Canton was visited by Europeans within thirty years of the discovery of America, and that it is more than 250 years since the English began to trade in that port. Small indeed seems to be the visible good result of so long an acqaintance with Western ways, but it must be remembered that for the greater part of all this time it was the spirit of trade that �74 ruled both parties, and that is always by itself far enough from being the spiiit ut the gospel. No province is better adapted for travel than that of- Kwangtung, in which the numerous rivers seem to be always going just where one wants to go. All of the missions are conducted on a large scale, and all of them have, so far as 1 was able to learn, a hopeful outlook. The various German missionaries arc tarrying on a work of great promise in the inte-iior, arid seem to prefer to make their homes in the small villages rather than in the tities, as is the general rule in China; as we have a home in a little hamlet, we- were much interested in this fact.

In connection with the English Presbyterian Mission of Amoy, the Re formed Mission has for many years set an object lesson of Christian Union, which is of more value than any number of articles in the pa|>ers on the subject. The two missi ,ns form but one churth, and do all their work in common, so as to economize time and money. The union in Japan among the various branches of the Presbyterian churches, of which so much has been said in late years, was suggested by that of Amoy, and patterned after it. It < [September, 1887. THE FRIEND. really seems as if the most hopeful prospect for practical Christian union, in dislini tion from that which is purely theoretical, is to come from heathen lands! It is a significant fact, in this connection, that when the important experiment in Amoy was begun, the most violent opponents of it were the missionary authorities at home! The present membership of the united churt h is over 1,600. The London mission is the only other in Amoy, and their work is fully as interesting md promising as the Presbyterian. 'They have more -.ban 1,100 communicants, and like the other society, have done more than has l» tn ichieved in any other place in China, lowartl Self Support I was told that of twenty-four London mission churches, nineteen are quite independent of foreign aid, and those thai are best developed have ;i variety of work on hand that rivals ihc most 11 live home churches, A single 1 hnrch hns six outstations mi which they maintain preaching on the Sunday, mostly without help from the mission. These things are a great encouragement t-> those whose work is as yet in the stage of small things, so far as the ideal "selfsupporting, self governing, and ,elf propagating churches" go. We met it Amoy a doctor who has just come to join the London mission, who is an Egyptian, ami who was converted from Mahora nedanism, by attending the school of the American Presbyterian .Mission in Alexandria, where his family still live. He was kidnapped from the school, when it was known that he- had become a Christian, ami barely escaped to Scotland, where he was educated at the University of Edinburgh, and now has come to China, to be located at the inland city ol Chang Chou. He- brings with him a Se itch wife, and his case- is an excellent example of the interaction 1 I missions on each other. Si:; ■ si. Ningpo is also a very encouraging mission field, where I was able to spend two days, all too short. 'The American Presbyterian Church Mission, American Baptist, North and English Tree Method ists, all have important woik from this centre. There is a kind of high school here, in connection with the Presbyterian Mis-ion, which is managed by the natives at a cost of about $500 per annum, of which the Mission pays in aid $150. The ohuii lies have pastors •( their own, and self-support, is an accomplished fact I saw too little 6f 1 he missions in Shang liai to be able to report anything of value, unless 11 be to speak a word of praise of the splendid hospitals, which the Episco pal Mission and that of the Woman's Missionary Society have- built, and ate running with great mkus,. At Chefoo we spent a icw days with Dr. Nevius, who, within the last two years has stirred up all China over the- question of the best way to develop the native church. The Presbyterian work in the Shangtung Pro vim c now includes about 2,500 members, scattered over a large region and in con nection with the English Baptist Mission.

Doane writes to the publishers of The I-KlKNii-as follows: It is but proper I should send the following facts respecting the landing of the Spaniards on this island, since some months since I wrote of their taking possession of the island and so all the islands of the Caroline (Iroup, all west of Strong's Island. This was the region in dispute a year or so since, between Spain and Germany. The Spanish gunboat Manila dropped anchor in Jamestown harbor March 15th. Immediately she prepared to land the forces she had brought, a governor, some 30 soldiers, some convicts, and 6 Capuchin Monks. She comes to take full and absolute possession of the island; she claims it, anil the natives are the children of Dona Maria Christina. From this time through the coming ages this is to be known as Spanish territory. If Spain sends here her governor with humane purpose, to rule in justice, it will be a blessing to the island. A good strong government is needed, perhaps never more than now. As to Romanism that could be dispensed with, for the -people are happy under, the religious truths now taught. Already the name Puerto Santiago has been given to the old harbor formerly called Jamestown, because of her surveying the harbor some fifteen years since. And this will be the order of things, new names will cover up or overlay old Ponape and foreign terms. The port is to be free from all duties for ten years. As yet no taxes have been laid on natives or foreigners. A city is in contemplation of being laid out near the harbor. The governor is wishing the kings and high chiefs to come over and reside near him; so he has a daughter. •fj k GONSALVES—In thitcity, Aug. 8, tothe wife of M. AKKIVAI.s.

The general election ordered for the twelfth of September duly took place, and resulted in the choice by the people of twenty-four nobles and twenty-four representatives to constitute the Legislative Assembly. There had been but little solicitude felt for good order and peaceable balloting, which were nearly a certainty. There were no indications of any moment to the contrary, and as a fact, no election had been held for years, where such order and quiet prevailed, where so little liquor was distributed, or where there was such an ab» sence of unfair means to influence votes, as a rule, throughout the towns and the country. The election resulted in the choice of the entire Reform ticket in every district, and in nearly every district by overwhelming majorities, over the antireform or heathenizing party. The only exception to this statement is a possible one in the case of Nakaleka of Molokai, who was formerly a partisan of Gibson, but who is believed to have changed his views, and was chosen in the absence of a competitor, being a popular man. The Legislature will assemble to find themselves an absolute unit on the question of supporting the great political change made by the Revolution, including the leading changes in the New Constitution. would control the choice of the twentyfour representatives. No doubt was felt that the twenty-four nobles would be chosen for Reform, since they were to be elected by men holding over $3,000 of property, or enjoying over $600 income, a majority of which class would be white men, including all skilled workers and mechanics. Hut strenuous efforts were made before the election to embitter the natives against the Reform movement and against foreigners. At the last election, a majority of the natives had voted with the heathenizing party. It was true, that this had been in consequence of the most open corruption and intimidation, and it was well-known that a very large and influential proportion of the natives felt keenly and bitterly the need of reform. Still in the new situation, with a Revolution conducted wholly by the whites, much doubt was felt how the native vote would go. It was in the highest degree desirable that they should heartily co-operate in the work of Reform. It was desirable for the moral effect upon themselves, that they should voice themselves distinctly on the right side. It was extremely important that there should be no race division upon the question, and no deep heart burnings as of a victory of whites over Hawaiians in securing the expected majority in the Assembly. It was also important that our friends abroad should have the Hawaiians' own testimony to the righteousness of our Revolution. Tiif. Hawaiian has answered nobly to the call made upon him, and has well supported the cause of Reform. There is no doubt that in as free and just and earnest an election as was ever held in any country, a large majority of the native people have recorded themselves on that side. They held the great bulk of the votes for representatives, and doing so, they elected the unbroken Reform ticket. We insist upon, and we parade this great and unanswerable fact beas the one silencing and crushing reply There had been great anxiety felt the votes of the to all the misrepresentations which have fore the election as to. which Hawaiian found currency abroad as to the characpopulation native 1887. 79 The Friend. Number io. ter and conduct of our Revolution, and which have even found some place in such papers as the Christian Union and the Illustrated Christian Weekly. Not only the whole white population as a body have supported it, but also the majority of the native people, in the face of many years of efforts to stir up jealousy and embitter them against their white friends. All honor to the Christian and civilized principle of the native Hawaiian. It may be of interest and use to our friends abroad to know something definite as to the personal standing and social position of the members of the new Legislature. A study of the list gives the following results which we believe to be substantially correct. Ofthe 24 nobles only three are of native or mixed blood, 12 American, 6 English, and 3 German. Seven ofthe Americans are sons of missionaries born here. As to occupation, the one pure native is a pastor of twenty years' service, one is a teacher, six are in commercial business, eleven in plantations or grazing, four are lawyers, and one a manufacturer. Twelve or more of these are men of large capital. Twelve of the 24 are active members of Evangelical churches, and two are German Catholics. Several of the others are members of the Anglican Church. Of the 24 Representatives, eleven are natives and three of mixed blood, seven are Americans and four English. None are Catholics; five or more of the whites, and most or all of the natives are members of Evangelical churches. Three of the Americans are sons of missionaries. Two of the natives are old pastors. Of the whites, two are in commercial, seven in grazing or plantation business, and two are lawyers, while nearly all of them enjoy large incomes. One of the natives is the leading Hawaiian Editor, several practice law more or less, and all are in property and influence leading men among Hawaiians. Such a delegation" of gentlemen as above catalogued of itself proves the general absence of corrupt or mere partizan influences in the election. It in- �spires the highest confidence in the legislation which shall be conducted by them, and in the Cabinet which they shall leave in possession of the Government at the close of their coming session. We do not expect a perfect conduct of the government hereafter. We anticipate the constant intrusion of corrupt elements. As a native friend today remarked, "Satan will sow tares among this wheat." Vigilant and earnest care to prevent this behoves every good man within and without the Legislature and the Cabinet. Even while the new assembly are a unit in support of Reform and of the Constitution, most serious divergences of opinion are sure to arise even among the most honest and public-spirited, not only upon questions of public policy, but upon moral and social reform. Parties will divide upon different lines from the past, but there will be parties. It is not in the province of The Friend to take sides in general political discussions. When a public question arises involving the moral and social well-being of the people, we hope to have light and courage to say what may usefully contribute to the public good. LIBERATION OF REV. E. T. DOANE. Our last number reported the imprisonment of Mr. Doane by the Spanish Governor of Ponape, and his deportation to Manila. Since then full letters have been received from Mr. Doane, down to July 24th, when he was at Manila, where he had been for some three weeks. "There is the best of evidence that the Governor-General is heartily ashamed of his officers on Ponape. This head ruler says I shali in a few days return to Ponape, my rights secured, that I, Bro. Logan, Dr. Pease, Brethren Rand, Walkup, we all, and all lady workers, shall be protected, and our lands secured to us. This high functionary is a liberal minded man. I am to be relanded in Ponape in a Spanish war vessel. The United States Consul, Mr. J. S. Voight, has been a true friend, has taken up the case con amort, has presented the case to the Governor in strong, plain language, speaking of the arbitrary tyrannical course of the Governor of Ponape towards me, and tells him plainly the United States Government will demand reparation for the wrong done an old man of sixty-seven, torn from his home, deported 2000 miles to another city for trial, imprisoned for three months, not once leaving the prison ship even to * October, 1887.

This Con- many of the people had never heard of sul feels deeply such indignity to an abstinence. Many made their own American, especially a missionary, al- liquor, and returned to ava pounding though he does not take the highest and planting, and so that evil flowed in view of missions. I bless the Lord the upon us like a flood, threatening to clouds are breaking. But as the Consul says, we shall still find it "hot" enough in Ponape; Rome will do all she can to thwart us, crowd us, drive us out. But if we can only be allowed to stay there, we can endure the "hot," and keep things from being a total wreck. Let us share your prayers. Dear old Ponape pc is in the fiery furnace; pray that no sign of fire may pass on her." Mr. Doane has obtained through the United States Consul a partial and verbal statement of the charges sent up from Ponape against him. So far as ascertained, they were as follows: "I —Want of respect to the Governor. 2 —Advising natives, as per edict to give up all guns, for each person to keep one, not to be wholly disarmed. 3 —Giving away lands not mine. 4—Exciting natives to rebellion. 5 Interfering with the business of traders. 6—Using handcuffs with which to punish natives. 7 —Being a dangerous man." Mr. Doane states that the disrespect consisted in using the word "arbitrary" in his protest against being deprived of his land which he had held seven years, for which protest he was immediately imprisoned. The third charge relates to his giving Spain land for the new city to be built upon. The Governor had succeeded in getting some of the former donors of that land to the mission work, to deny ever having signed the deed. One of the high chiefs, however, continued steadfast in affirming the genuineness of his signature. The rest of the charges Mr. Doane denounces as absolutely unfounded, and the work mainly of a class of degraded and hostile white men, who saw an opportunity to rid themselves of a missionary who had lately reclaimed several of the leading chiefs from vice. Mr. Doane sends distressing statements of the evil that has fallen upon their work at Ponape. "You may have had report of the terrible cyclone that struck us a while ago, terribly shattering our work on Ponape. breaking up our schools, save two; deposing from the ministry, our good brother, a Malay, Narcissus; demoralizing the natives, church members who were weak, especially; taking from Christian chiefs all power to correct evil in their little realms; setting liquor to flowing; giving life to houses of ill fame; bringing the natives under the complete power ofthe Governor, working them in gangs for a week each without pay. The Spanish reached Ponape March 16, 1887. The sluice ways of liquor were opened. For years we had fought this, the making of toddy, pounding of ava, drinking of foreign liquor, and had made much — * swamp us all. So again houses of illfame arose, and were filled with inmates with astonishing rapidity. So also the breaking down of all religious rule or law in- order exercised and set in motion .by religious chiefs—common natives laughing with impunity at their chiefs young men eloping with the wives of other men, the chiefs powerless to rebuke. * I did think that when Spain came in, she would try to rule in equity, to foster, if not our Protestant form of religious life, yet the morality, obedience, temperance, chastity it had begotten. But she seems determined that all should be wiped out. Mr. Doane was well treated upon the ship. Mrs. Rand and daughter also went to Manila as passengers, immediately proceeding thence to San Francisco. Mr. Doane pleads that an able man may at once be sent to their aid at Ponape, to help continue and save the work. — HOW CIRCUMSCRIBED. How circumscribed in locality is our earthly abode! Even with all the aid of steam, one can traverse but limited regions of the earth's surface. And then we are tied down to that surface. You may climb Chimborazo with Whymper till your panting lungs fail in the thin air, or mount with Glaisher in a balloon till you become insensible in the cold ether. You have only got as far from the surface as you could walk on a level in one hour. Endlessly above and beyond you stretch away the far reaches of boundless space, cold, breathless, inaccessible. Those numberless corridors and vistas of your Father's material universe are not for you to tread in this your infancy of being. A feeble child. He has tied you safely down in this your cradle. So, too, is it forbidden you to penetrate the world beneath your feet. Only the surface is for you, possibly with extreme toil a very little below it. On the ocean, you may send your steel wire down into mystic depths, and drag up a little ooze, or even a few of its pulpy habitants. But there yourself can never dive. And on the land, men delve for silver or for coal or salt one or two thousand feet down, and if the invading water does not stay their farther burrowing, the increasing heat forbids it. No more than this mortal body can ascend into the cold Heaven above, can it either descend into the fiery Hell beneath. Here too has your Father in wisdom limited you, and bid you walk contentedly on the upper crust of Earth, even though �45, No. io.j below you, guarded by fire, may be incalculable treasures of gold and gems! One stands on Kilauea's brink, and sees the bright and fearful surges of molten glass boil up from beneath, and follows in thought the liquid column of fire, down, down, through the thick rocks, far down till they all are red with heat, still down the white fire duct till all the rocks are also white, and yet down the far depths until all is white molten fire, a sea, an ocean, a world of fire from surface to center, fire that has been gathering there and glowing from the beginning of the world. And on that fire world is our home. It is just beneath our feet. A thin rock crust of a few miles only divides from it, and that crust on which we stand rests upon, and is upheld by this molten sea. So we dwell between these two material immensities, each so close to us, the one an ocean of fire beneath, the other the cold, deadly heights above. We inhabit just this thin stratum between the two, protected from the consuming heat of the one by the thin interposing soil, blanketed from the destroying frost of the other by the equallythin layer of interposing atmosphere. What a strange home it is when we think of it, this thin spherical sheet of space which we inhabit! But it suits us well. It is enough for our present bodily needs. Nay, we too commonly count it enough for our highest aspirations. Men strive in it and rage and toil for more possession of it, as if this thin sphere were all the universe, and there was no boundless glory of Heaven beyond. Nay, our Father hath only cradled us here. He means us to outgrow this narrow cradle. He has destined us, if we will take of Him, to ineffable glories of Homes above, and boundless Realms of range and dominion, to enter upon when we shall have matured and ripened. We are very safe here between the two consuming deaths. How strange a shelter for God's human children has He made for us in this thin shell between the fire and the frost! So that we never even suspect how near to us is the horror below and the death above, and when we learn of it through study, we never need fear lest the frail crust shall haply part and drop us into the lava, or the life-holding atmosphere shall haply float away and leave us to the death nip of the upper frosts. Our Father has well eared for all that. Perils there are, but not of that sort perils from disease of body and malady of soul, but from which also we may find healing and a refuge in the everlasting arms of Divine Love. Attention is particularly invited to the letter printed in another column from the Archbishops of Canterbury and York and the Bishop of London on the subject of restricting the destructive British traffic in intoxicating liquors THE FRIEND. 81 Volume among the native races in British de- tion.

Since the departure of Dr. Beckwith, August 30th, the pulpit has been variously supplied. The Lord's Supper was commemorated September 24th by a very large assembly of the two churches, a time of sweet and solemn interest. Three or more meetings have been held by the united membership, in which nearly all the preliminary measures for the union have been acted upon and adopted. The articles of the constitution for the new church have been adopted, all save that determining the name, which awaits a longer process of evolution. A little delay in completing the final action is occasioned by technical difficulties relating to the conveyance of the property of the two churches to the new organiza- Geo. N. Wilcox C.

Mr. Sturgis had suffered from paralysis, and took up his final residence in Oakland two years ago. He bore the closing trials without querulousness, and with cheerful patience. The last few weeks of life were cheered by thereunion of his whole family, including the presence of his elder daughter and her husband (Rev. Mr. Crawford of the Sonora mission) and children. Another stroke fell upon him, and after a few days of speechlessness, he fell asleep. Mr. Sturgis was horn in Granville, Ohio, November 15, 1819.

Now due south one-fourth mile, still along the vertical precipice, and we are immediately above a beautiful fire-pond of about; 180 by 150 feet, which we at once christen "Dana Lake." This lies in the bottom of the great canal which surrounds the central crater-cone of upheaved debris which we described in 0111 last number. A little farther south is still another fire-pond, whose spray we can occasionally see, but the enormous clouds of sulphur smoke driving over the banks a little beyond us, forbid inspection. The debris-cone is pouring out vast masses of this smoke from many points in its circuit, and the tradewind sweeps it far to the southeast to keep desolate the wastes of Eastern Kan. We will stay safely to windward of its brimstone fumes. The overflows of lava from these ponds, and many other points have flooded a width of 200 feet or more all round the debris-cone to the foot of the talus of the vertical wall, which talus leaches half way up. By descending near Little Beggar,' anil walking on the smooth lava of this canal, easy access is had to all points around or upon the cone, barring the smoke and the risk of fresh lava Hooding treacherously out from almost any point. We did not try this, but took our fill now and on three subsequent occasions in observing Dana Lake. This was in fine action. At from five to seven points chiefly on the south and west sides, a violent ebullition of the molten matter was going on. Occasionally the thin crust would break in the center of the pond, with tossing and flinging of lava. The greatest activity was mar the southwest angle where from a sort of cave a furious regurgitation was proceeding, flinging the fiery spray fifteen feet high, sometimes over upon the top of the overhang, and twenty feet out upon the crust, which, however, was kept pretty well opened here by the violent surging. It hardly need be said, that the performance was a very brilliant one, fairly terrific with its massive swash and surge, and furious bursting puffs and pantings. From the overhang depended heavy black stalactites fed by the spray. The crust was thin antl smooth, but occasionally crumpled into exquisite folds and curlings. The long walk back, meeting the rain near the pali, brought us wet and tired to our haven, where our good host took our wet clothes and shoes into his hot drying room, and we refreshed ourselves at his excellent table. Sunday was spent in our New England fashion, save a quiet stroll in the forenoon to the mighty pit of Kilauea-iki, a mile distant. In the afternoon we regaled ourselves with a delightful Bible lesson on the �Volume 45, No. 10.] Beatitudes, in which our venerable chief showed himself as full of "wisdom and spiritual understanding" as he was of scientific discernment. Several hours of Monday were em- ployed in a long tramp southeast from Haleama'uma'u, out from the south angle of Kilauea upon the gravel waste, and back along the northwest wall, Mr. Emerson acting as guide to Professor and Miss Dana. We found Dana Lake without material change in its activity. Moving half a mile westward across the black floor, Dr. Dana made some examination of the old basalt of the western wall of Kilauea. Here the fresh overflow had nearly buried the old talus. Some of the black iridescent glass crusts were of exquisite beauty. Our course now lay southward into the edge of the great smoke drift. This was slightly unpleasant, but not distressing. Less than a mile brought ns to a steep slope of eonimingled pumice and sand. The pumice was of a peculiarly soft spongy character. Here we struggled up an ascent of perhaps one hundred feet and found ourselves out upon the open country, which here was a tract of desolation. The surface was covered to a very great depth with deposits of tufa, pumice and gravel with scattering boulders. In many places the soft pumice would permit a stick to be thrust down to an indefinite distance. All these deposits were evidently the results of one or more terrible explosive eruptions of the volcano. Such an eruption occurred a century ago, when Keoua's army was destroyed by the falling sand. A heavy deposit of sand and gravel now covers the country around Kilauea for many miles in every direction. Massive banks of the same materials enclose the southern limit of the caldera. Mr. Emerson directed attention to a series of immense straight parallel fissures intersecting this tufa and sand deposit. These fissures bad a southwest direction stretching on for miles, and were mostly filled with sand, but occasionally open, with steam issuing from the depths. The fissures which we saw had opened in 1868. Mr. Emerson had visited a large recent fissure which opened last year, but was now in the smoke drift, and hardly accessible. This was steaming actively, and was probably connected with the course ol the subterranean escape of the lava at .the collapse of Halema'uma'u in that year. The numerous boulders large and small which strewed the gravel were of great variety of material and kept the Professor's hammer in active use, as indeed it was most of the time, wherever he went. His sinewy arm seemed untiring. These boulders had formed part of the matter ejected at the last great explosion. They had evidently been torn off from the sides of the great inner throat of the crater, and so furnished 83 THE FRIEND. most interesting samples of the interior of the misery and degradation of those structure of the Kilauea plateau. They who survive are painful in the extreme. And besides the grievous wrong thus on the native races, reproach has been brought on the name of Christ. The English missionary who preaches the Gospel and the English merchant who brings the fatal temptation are inevitably associated in the minds of the heathen people, and by many not only associated, but identified. It is asserted by travelers of repute that in many parts of the world the moral character of the natives gains more by the preaching of Mahomedanism than by the preaching of the Gospel, for the former tends to make them sober. The evils of intemperance in the British islands have, as you are well aware, long engaged the attention ofthe Church at home. The report of theLower House ofConvocation ofthe Province of Canterbury in 1869, and that ofthe Province of York in 1873, in each of which a large mass of evidence from every class of society was got together, had a painful effect on the public mind at the time, and they have served as trustworthy manuals on the subject ever since.

Our course now lay upward and homeward, not far from the edge of the cliffs, to the great Uwekahuna bluff, from which is an excellent overlook into Halema'uma'u and the surging Dana Lake. About half-a-mile below Uwekahuna we observed a point where a pahoehoe flow had issued from the outside of the top of the crater and run westward. This was not very recent, but as will be shown, we found three other instances of like strange phenomena, that is that lava should make its exit from the lofty outside of a crater, when its apparently natural and easy exit would be in the pit just below. Uwekahuna furnished a convenient height from which to observe the depression bttween the giant slopes of Maunaloa and the great Kilauea plateau. This was very marked; there was, however, a point where the level plateau seemed to unite with the Maunaloa slope, and it was difficult to assert that the line of depression was continued across that point. Professor Dana seemed quite satisfied that the Kilauea plateau must have been formed by overflows of lava from its own independent center of ac- - inflicted an �84 The great yacht race between the British Thistle and the American Volunteer about to come off, stirs us up in a lively manner. These two boats embody the highest conceptions yet attained by British and American builders of the elements of speed in sailers of their class. They are the consummate evolution of the thought and genius of the two nations on this subject, incited to the utmost by the keen contests of many years. The race promises to be a close one. All nations are watching it. Which ever comes off victor, will have well earned the America Cup. We, of course, wear the colors of the Volunteer, and as we are bound, believe she will beat, and that the cup will stay on this side of the Atlantic. Of one thing we are quite confident, that if either vessel serves grog to its crew, it will lose the race, and deservedly. But athletes in contest, wholly avoid the use of alcohol, whether on land or on the water. The harmfulness of alcohol is one of the useful lessons athletic work has taught us.

WORK IN AMERICA. We are in receipt of a Y. M. C. A. Year Book for 1886-7, containing reliable information gathered from the reports ofthe Associations sent to the International Committee before the close ofthe first quarter of the present year. There has been a most vigorous growth in nearly all departments of the Y. M. C. A. work during the last Association year. The following are a few of the facts learned which we give for the benefit of our members: 1,064 Associations have sent in reports; 1,176 is the full number in existence in America. 1,001 of these report an aggregate membership of 154,921. 116 Associations own buildings valued at $4,822,9.80. 53 have other real estate sufficient to make the total property in buildings and other real estate £5,611,239. 310 Associations report 410 Bibleclasses for young men only; 372 of which have a total average attendance of 5,068. 698 observed the Day of Prayer for young men in November, 1886. 158 report special work for boys. 195 report 11,628 situations secured. 623 persons are engaged as paid officers in the work, and 41 positions temporarily vacant. Reports are given from 70 railroad branches and 10 German branches; 232 College Associations reported, also 24 colored Associations and 13 Indian Associations. The reports of religious work being done by the Associations are good. These we omit, as they would have to be given in detail to do justice to the work. A wise and generous variety in methods is employed by different Associations, but with the same object in view—winning young men to the Saviour. ADVICE TO YOUNC MEN. So you have got yourself into trouble, my son? Gone a little wrong have you ? Yes; well that means, you know, that you have gone clear wrong; because there is only one kind of right and one kind of wrong; there is no mugwumpery in morals, my boy. And you've had such a hard time getting back that it's made you a little bitter and cynical, and you think all the world is rather hard and selfish, and pitiless, and especially severe on you ! Well, I wouldn't feel that way at all if I were you. I don't think I ever did feel that way, and I know more about it than you do. I've been further down on the Jericho road than you. Went down there to let my beard grow. Great town for toots, from way back. It's a bad country. Never heard of but one good woman in Jericho, and she didn't move in good society. But, my son, it isn't society's fault that you got into trouble. You knew what the Jericho road was before you went down that way. You knew there was a curse on the town. You were safe enough in Jerusalem. Why didn't you stay there ? Don't feel bitterly toward all the world because you fell among thieves and got cleaned out. It is a kind, good-natured, forgiving old world, if you give it a chance to be forgiving. True, it doesn't always look that way to a fellow in trouble, because then the fellow is apt to look at the wrong people. You found on the Jericho road, say, six or eight thieves—that is, half a dozen professional and the two amateurs who passed by on the other side—and only one Good Samaritan; and naturally it seemed to you that the leaven of good is utterly lost in that great mass of rascality and hypocrisy; but, bless you, my son, in the great, honest living world; in the world that is trying to do right, and trying to lead men to better things than Jericho excursions; in the only world that really loves and cares for just such young fellows as you; in the real world of men and women who deal with the young man all the more gently when his smarting wounds are deepest, the one Good Samaritan outweighs a regiment of these villains who beat you, and robbed you, and passed you by on the road to Jericho. Never mind the priest and the Levite, my son. They were going down to Jericho, too, you remember; that's the kind of priests they were. And one closing word my son. Unless you are smarter and stronger than the thieves down Jericho way—and I guess may be you are not; very few men are why, you keep off that road. You stay in Jerusalem, and you'll have more money and less headache.—Hob BurdeV.e. VACATION. Vacation is over and gone with the most of us, and work to be done now invites our strengthened hands and energies quickened by rest and change. My vacation of one month was spent OH Hawaii, most of it in Hilo anil vicinity. The •'dry spell" that had terrified the citizens the previous month, had ceased before I arrived, and did not reappear in any dangerous quantity during my stay. The people were exceedingly cordial and kind, many of whom I had known only by name before, I shall now treasure as personal friends and acquaintances. Of course, the trip must include a visit to the wonderful Volcano, which, being my first and at a favorable time, was thoroughly enjoyed. TOPICS FOR OCTOBER.

Mr. J. B. Atherton, Chairman of the Finance Committee, sailed for Oakland, where he will join his family and remain for a much needed vacation of two months. He expects to attend the Y. M. C. A. State Convention of California, which convenes in Woodland, October I2lh and 16th. Our prayers are with the Brethren, that they may have a rich and profitable season. He that is born but once dies twice. He that is born twice, shall never die.— Henry Varley. Better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all. He who never tries to serve God will certainly never do it. Talmage says that "the man who can and won't sing should be sent to Sing But some would say that Sing." it is the man who can't sing and will sing who should be sent to Sing Sing. Boys, why do you care so much fur what "they say"? Why do you dress and pose for the admiration of those you meet in public places or on the street ? A fellow who travels on his looks has little capital; better BB such a man that those who meet you and those who know you shall respect you. A manly bearing, a considerate care for others' feelings, a reverence for those who are older and better than you—for there are some are the marks of a man who will be admired E xclia ngc. It appears that prohibition in lowa fails to keep up the supply of penitentiary convicts, and that the contractors of prison labor at Fort Madison are much embarrassed thereby. The lowa Register says of them that "they say they are losing eight thousand dollars a year because the State cannot furnish them with the number of convicts it contracted to furnish." And to-day, out of ninetynine counties there are fifty-five which have not one prisoner in their county jails. Let the "failure of prohibition" in lowa be again proclaimed ! .— — �THE FRIEND.

There appears to be the strongest probability that the coming Legislature will repeal the law to license the sale of opium in this country, and that this very pernicious traffic will again be prohibited. The Planter's Association, for one, have unanimously and emphatically demanded the repeal of the law. This body represents the capital and the industrial interests of this country. They undoubtedly also represent the average public opinion upon this question. They have been governed in this action not by moral or sentimental, but by busi- ness considerations —by the question, what is necessary for the prosperity of the industrial and business interests of the country. The rapidly increasing use of opium among the laborers incapacitates many of them for their daily work, makes them unreliable, indolent, thievish and destitute, as well as sickly and wretched in body and mind. Plantations, mills, railroads, vessels, ranches cannot be prosperously carried on with a class of workers so demoralized and suffering. No doubt the Legislature will heed this unanimous demand from the employers of labor to remove the cause of so much evil. We do not forget, and our intelligent leaders will not forget that the present opium license law was enacted against the fully expressed opinion of the people. It was enacted by a very corrupt and servile Legislature, against their own strongest convictions, in slavish compliance with the command of one man, who had in view an unlawful profit for himstamps this wicked of as an special execration, law object and will make the promptest repeal of it a cause of the greatest satisfaction to the people of this kingdom, to whom its enactment was a peculiar insult. This strong public feeling is enhanced by the colossal bribery scandal which attended the operation of the law, and which has just resulted in the death ofthe unhappy Aki, who was the victim of the great swindle. We do not doubt that ever) member of our new Legislature is in full sympathy with this general feeling of the public mind, and that they will promtly take such action as is wise and expedient. We shall all breathe with more comfort, we shall all feel a weight of shame lifted off, when these wrong things are set right. While as a business convention the Planters are supposed to be governed by business considerations, we know that very many if not all of them are sensible of the force of the moral considerations involved. And we are sure that our Legislators will strongly feel the same force. We thankfully remember that men are 1887. 87 Number ii. not always as bad-hearted as their arguments seem to imply, when they contend that the State should make the poisonous opium traffic a source of revenue, since it is impossible to suppress it. The same reasoning would make it the duty of Government to make a revenue from licensing houses of ill-fame, because it is impracticable to suppress prostitution. Gambling dens should be licensed so as to contribute a handsome revenue to the government, because it is impossible to prevent a vast amount of gambling. The answer applying to all these cases is twofold; first, it is dishonorable to government to profit by the degradation and misery of the people; secondly, the licensing of any traffic to be public and open lessens the shame of indulgence in the vice licensed, weakens the sense of criminality, and enhances the various forms of attraction tempting to the evil practice. There are, we believe, few persons professing to be governed by principles of morality who think that a government should ever license gambling, prostitution, or opium for the sake of revenue. If such persons do justify the licensing of the liquor traffic, they probably do so upon the ground that a considerable proportion of mankind continue to hold the moderate use of alcohol a good thing, and that government therefore cannot prohibit it, but can only regulate it. It is not impossible—so incredibly astray are many of the vagaries of human minds—that some persons may have really persuaded themselves that opium, in a reasonable and moderate use of it, may be a harmless and usefully agreeable narcotic, such as tea and coffee are generally considered to be, such as tobacco is called by most persons who use it. Now, we firmly believe that no use of tobacco is really beneficial, and that nearly or quite all users of the weed would be greatly benefited by abstaining from it. But we never knew any person whose reason was frequently dethroned by indulgence in it as is commonly true of opium users. We never knew one whose whole physical and mental and moral �88 THE FRIEND. he had learned to think obligatory, and not averse to theological argument, in which he was well skilled.

We never knew of one who was driven into poverty and crime by tobacco, as by opium. And then think of those acute and terrible nervous agonies which are so commonly experienced by the victims of opium, when the fatal drug is wanting, or when in the later stages it has become inadequate to stupefy. Consider also the peculiarly resistless craving which is invariably caused by opium, and which renders a moderate use of it as impossible to most persons, as a moderate use of alcohol is to a person of savage race. Do not these peculiarities of destructive derangement of body and mind, of active misery, and of resistless seductiveness, thoroughly separate in character ;i narcotic like opium from the mild narcotic tobacco, or the very gentle tea and coffee ? It may be argued that a civil governschool, nor a family home, and that it is not its province to provide for the moral elevation of the people, but for their material welfare and security. Such is the position taken by those who are always indignant at laws to repress vice, and to enforce morality, to which they apply the general term of "blue laws." But what, then, becomes of the essential fact that indulgence in vice impairs business prosperity, and that morality and business integrity cannot long walk far apart? Drunkenness, licentiousness, gambling will impoverish and destroy a state just as surely as they do the individuals of whom the state is composed. Has the state, then, no duty to suppress these destructive vices, and is it forbidden to transgress the bounds of its province by legislating against them?Deliver us from such a state and such ment is not a church, nor a liberties! "Ua mau ke ea oka aina i ka pono." "The life of the land endureth by righteousness." We stand by this true and solemn motto of our little state. We hold that all government must be based on the sanction of righteous obligation^—founded on the sacred duties which men owe to each other as brothers —to help, to protect, to guide, to support, to strengthen and nourish, to heal and restore.

The inner surfaces were heavily a subterranean exit somewhere below, that it was thirty-eight years ago? �90 and drained the lakes empty, and Halemaumau's pinnacles all fell in, and only deep black, gaping, dead abysses remained, where had Just been such terrific floods and surges of fire. This was eighteen months ago, since which the lava has been slowly and steadily rising, and resuming its domain; again no doubt to rage overwhelmingly, and again in turn to retire. Its present condition is one of medium activity, but of peculiar interest and approachableness. We found the surface of the sand and tufa on which we were to be studded with numerous angular boulders. These were all of the same very peculiar characters as those foilnd on Monday on the western upland, but were much larger. This testified that the point of ejection was nearest to the southeast side of Kilauea, which we were traversing. The same conclusion was indicated by the great extent and depth of these masses of ashes and gravel, covering several hundred acres to depths apparently of hundreds of feet. The great peninsula we were upon was composed of such material. Our course now led upwards along the southeast bank of Kilauea, to the small satellite-crater of Ke-ana-ka-koi. This name means the cavern for chipping adzes. This crater is a deep pit in the upland, of some 400 feet depth, and about 1,500 feet diameter at the top, the sides being somewhat clothed with vegetation. Fresh lava makes a black smooth floor on the bottom, no debris from the sides having fallen upon it. This lava entered the crater in 1868, and covered the cave or hole where the peculiar stone had been found as material for native adzes. One mile farther ascent of easy grade brought us to the ohia forest at the east angle of Kilauea, and the descent to the depressed plateau connecting Kilauea with its great satellite-crater Kilauen-iki or Kilauea the less. Here we encountered a very strange thing. On the side of the steep slope, about 100 feet below the high upland, and 400 feet above the floor of Kilauea, and the present bottom of Halemaumau, a horizontal fissure had opened in 1868, and emitted a tremendous gush of very glassy lava. This fissure seemed to be 350 feet long. The lava had flooded clown the pali, and spread over perhaps a dozen acres of the wooded plateau, but had not lasted long enough to fairly burn off more than half of the small ohia trees. These stood with the lava clinging for three or four feet up where the first rush had carried it. Large clots of lava hung in many of the dead limbs. A little farther east along the pali and at a lower level, could be seen another lava flow of some forty years earlier date. This had flooded the plateau and poured over its precipice into Kilauea, where its cascade is conspicuous. How does lava thus apparently violate all known laws of hydrostatics, and THE FRIEND.

One, at least, of the men often wished that some of the ladies would call for slower marching. At the foot of the ascent horses were found for all but one of the ladies, who, however, was the first of all at the top, being young and athletic. Our expected mule train from Kau came up in good time the next morning, and by nine o'clock we had all said good bye to our hospitable host and his comfortable inn, and were pushing down the long Kau road over the barren sand and pahoehoe, having the giant slopes of Mauna Loa away on our right, and the long streaming smoke hiding everything on the left. Some fifteen very long miles brought us to mamane and ohia groves and to Lee's half-way house. After a lunch here, we traveled some two hours farther in a 'bus and in brakes to Pahala Plantation, where we were nobly dined by Mr. Foster in his charming home. Thence by tram-car eight miles more to the shore at Punaluu, where is an excellent tavern, kept by Mr. Lee, a Norwegian. Good rooms, good beds, a fair table, delicious sea air, and delightful bathing, fresh or salt, with glorious mountain scenery, and noble plantations in easy reach, make Punaluu one of the most desirable places in the islands for a rest. Early Monday morning the good steamer W. G. Hall bore us homewards, showing us the Kona landings and delivering us at our Honolulu homes in _ true, that the world is looking with intensest interest upon this problem which we are solving. Shall missionary effort for a once heathen people, after these many years, be a failure as scorners say and as too many Christian people are almost ready to admit; or is there enough of the grace of God in the hearts of this native race, to turn aside the temptations that beset them, and make them arise in the dignity of a Christian nation before the world ? Whether we wish it or not, as the result of what has been done for this country, we are indeed in a marked degree, a city set upon a hill, and be it darkness or be it light, we cannot be hid. May God enable each one of us to keep his little candle burning, that at least it may not be dark about our dwellings ! Of all the agencies which Satan ever devised to enslave the souls of men, and keep both individuals and nations from rising into light and liberty, none has ever been more potent than the love of strong drink. It blunts the conscience, it benumbs the intellect, it deadens the affections, it weakens the will, it destroys the soul and body together. It is not strange then, that when the enemy of all righteousness found that this Hawaiian nation had resolved to turn from heathenism and serve the living God, he sent his own rum and whisky and gin in here as the surest antidote to all that is good. It may be helpful to us who are trying thirty-three hours. to combat this deadly evil in our day, to trace its career from the earliest history ONE PHASE OF HAWAIIAN HISTORY. of this nation, and observe what a powerful spirit of evil it has been to the present time.

Who can tell what sin and suffering would have been saved, had the public sentiment of Christendom sustained this judgment! Trading vessels then in addition to the useful articles which these people demanded, such as clothing, hardware, etc., always kept a supply of rum which the natives were not slow in learning to use. In this way the taste for intoxicants was readily introduced into these and other islands. Mr Turnbull found that some convicts from Botany Hay had previously escaped to these Islands, and in return for some service rendered Kamehameha I, had been put in possesion of small tracts of land, upon which they raised sugar-cane, and from this contrived to distill a sort of liquor. By this means the king himself acquired a relish for spirits, and navigators who touched at these shores, at that early day carried on a lively trade in rum and other liquors. Mr. Turnbull relates that this taste became so excessive on the part of the king, that Young and Davis, white men residing here became anxious for their own safety during his periods ofdrunkenness and made attempts to escape from the Islands. In one of his timesof sobriety, the king demanded of them—"what could induce them to these repeated efforts to leave him, when they were treated so kindly and were daily receiving from him whatever he had to bestow." "That is true," they replied, "but our lives become endangered as often as you are inflamed with spirits. You are then no longer master of yourself." Kamehameha accepted the reproof, and promised that thenceforth he would limit himself to a moderate quantity, which promise, it is said, he kept to his death. His subjects, also acquired a taste for the poison, but during the lifetime of this despot, drunknness was always restrained. Not long before his death he tabooed all distilleries within his kingdom, not a drop was allowed to be manufactured, and breaking his law was followed by the forfeiture of the whole Even the property of the offender. king's oldest son, Liholiho, afterwards Kamehameha 11, though ardently fond of liquor, was until his accession to the throne, held in complete restraint by this powerful will. But upon the death of Kamehameha I. in 1819, all restraint was thrown aside. In a state of intoxication Kamehameha 11. broke the tabu, (which till then had been rigorously enforced), by eating dog's flesh with the women, drinking rum with the female chiefs, and smoking with them from the same pipes. Seeing that no evil effects followed at once, the people shouted "The tabu is broken ! " Messengers were sent to all parts of the kingdom, and the chiefs and common people abandoned themselves to drunkenness and all kinds of excess. ( To be continued.) — �[Novembr, 1887.

Forbes, -__- - Editor. FOR THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM. If one stands facing the north in the early part (9 o'clock) of any clear night at this time of the year, he will easily perceive the constellation of Ursa Major. LOOKING 93 must be our own works and deservings. Here, then, we make our chief contrast. Our own Holy Bible, our own sacred book of the East, is from beginning to end a protest against this doctrine. Good works are indeed enjoined upon us in that sacred book of the East far more strongly than in any other sacred book of the East; but they are only the outcome of a grateful heart —they are only a thank-offering, the fruits of our faith. They are never the ransom-money of the true disciples of Christ. "Put off the pride of self-righteousness," says our Holy Bible; "it is a filthy garment, unfit to cover the nakedness of your soul at that awful moment when death brings you face to face with the holy God." "Put on the garment of self-righteousness," says every other sacred book of the East. "Cling closely to it. Hold it closely to your heart of hearts. Multiply your prayers, your pious acts, your pilgrimages, your ceremonies, your external rights on all hands, for nothing else but your own meritorious acts, accumulated like capital at a bank, can save you from eternal ruin." We can understand then the hold which these .so-called sacred books of the East continue to exert on the natives of India, for the pride of self-righteousness is very dear to the human heart. It is like a tight-fitting inner garment, the first to be put on, the last to be put off. Nay, this may also account for the fact that in the present day these so-called sacred books of the East are gaining many admirers who fall into raptures over the moral precepts, which here and there glitter in them, like a few stars sparkling through the rifts of a cloudy sky on a pitch-dark night.— It will be noticed nearly overhead, though somewhat to the north-west, and The Annual Report of the Chinese is the most brilliant of all constellations of the heavens.

The Reading Room in Queen Emma Hall was filled with a large and interested audience of Japanese last evening. The long table had been removed, chairs arranged, walls decorated with palms and ferns and Japanese emblems, while from the rear room the bubbling of the tea urn, and the fragrance of steaming coffee, made it evident that our Japanese friends believe in physical comfort as well as moral improvement. A few of our Christian workers, interested in this new movement, were present to participate in the exercises of the evening. After prayer by Dr. Hyde and the reading of the scripture by Rev. T. L. Gulick, and the singing of one of the Gospel Hymns, Mrs. F. W. Damon playing the organ, Mr. Taro Ando, the Japanese Consul-General made theopening address, speaking first in Japanese and then in English. He proposed and answered the two questions, What is the object of the V.M.C.A.? Why should we join it ? He spoke of the prejudices against Christianity that had naturally taken deep root among the Japanese when Western adventurers landed on the Asiatic Coast, followed by priests. who sought to build up an ecclesiastical organization inimical to the maintenance of the independence of the country. But the recent labors of the missionaries to Japan had shown what the great object of Bible Christianity was, the true blessedness of men, for time and for eternity. He believed that all the Japanese present wanted to be loved and respected, but to secure such love and respect they must be good and learned. To help in securing this was the object of the Y. M. C. A., and no one could hesitate to say it was a laudable object that all ought to promote by uniting together for that purpose. Rev. Mr. K. Miyama, from the M. E. Mission in San Francisco and Mr. Nakayama, th.: Japanese Commissioner of Imigration tor these islands, also gave brief addresses in Japanese which were not interpreted. Rev. Mr. Gulick and Mr. F. W. Damon, and Dr. Hyde, spoke in warm approval of this organization of Japanese for their own benefit, morally and intellectually. Mr. J..T. Waterhouse, Jr., on behalf of the Honolulu V.M.C.A., pledged to the new organization most cordial sympathy and all possible assistance. It is not yet 25 years since this Hawaiian nation was declared to be Christianized and ceased to be one of the mission fields of ' the A. B. C. P. M. Imperfect as are our Christian institutions they seem to have made a favorable impression on the Asiatic immigration to these islands. Here at this meeting place of the Eastern and Western civilizations, we have a Chinese Y. M. C. A. and Chinese Churches. The Japanese seem to be now falling into line, and adopting of their own free-will our Christian institutions with such modifications as they find needful to make them most efficient for their own national characteristics and usages. The Japanese Y. M. C. A. Constitution, drawn up under the supervision of Mr. F. W. Damon, provides for four Standing Committees for as many departments, Religious Work, Educational, Finance, Social and Literary Entertainments. It is proposed to begin a class for Bible study next Sunday evening. The Japanese wished the (Committee to secure some Christian lady to be the teacher of the Bible class. It is strange that these Orientals should have such respect for our Christian women, and desire so strongly the personal influence of consecrated womanhood. Mrs. H. N. Coleman has kindly consented to take charge of this new and important field of Christian labor. Fortyeight signed the Constitution of this Japanese Y. M. C. A. last evening, and others will soon be added to this number. given by the Entertainment Committee on Thursday, Oct. 13th, in our Hall and was thoroughly enjoyed by a good audience. Mr. Walter Leman of San Francisco had the leading numbers on the programme and was ably assisted by some of our best local talent. Young men, whether strangers or residents of the city, you are always welcome at the Y. M. C. A. Rooms. The reading room or the social rooms are for your use, and quite a variety of parlor games can be obtained by simply asking the Janitor or the General Secretary. Make your appointments, meet your friend and pass your leisure evenings at this pleasant and convenient center. A HANDSOME GIFT. The fine crayon likeness of Rev. J. A. Cruzan, recently exhibited in the window at King Bros, has been purchased by friends, and presented to the Blue Ribbon League and the Y. M. C. A. jointly. The picture was the work of Miss Ada Nolte. It is 24 by 29 inches in size, and incased in a heavy gilt frame. It will hang in our Hall and we trust it may prove an inspiring presence to those who meet on successive Saturday evenings, in the interest of that cause for which Mr. and Mrs. Cruzan so faithfully labored while here—the cause of Temperance. SUNDAY EVENING TOPICS. Nov. 6.—Ruined by Evil Company. MONTHLY MEETING. The monthly business meeting was held in the parlors Thursday evening, Oct. 20th, the President, Mr. F. J. Lowrey, in the chair. Most of the committees reported favorably upon the work of their respective departments. Reports from the branch work at Queen Emma Hall was especially encouraging among both Hawaiians and Japanese. Four young men were received as associate members. Among other business the following motion was passed: Resolved, That the officers of this Association be authorized to prepare a memorial to the Legislature to repeal the law licensing the sale of opium, and that its importation and sale be prohibited, and that measures be passed restricting the liquor trafic. Chron 10:1-14; 12:14-16. Nov. 13.—Felix Trembled. Acts 24: 24-27; Prov. 27:1. Nov. 20.—Confessing Christ. Mat. 10:32; Rom. 10:9-1 1. Nov. 27.—All Things Made New. Rev. 21:1 8; 2 Cor. 5:17. 2 We once heard of a Baptist minister who was very fond of interpreting Bible histories and parables down to the minutest detail, and a Presbyterian neighbor professed to have been converted to his plan. "And what passage was it that opened your eyes, my brother?" queried the Baptist. "The parable of the man who went to his neighbour for bread at midnight," was the Presbyterian's reply. "Yes;" and do you expound it? "The man was an anxious sinner." "Yes." "The neighbor was a Christian." "True." The bread he desired was saving truth." "Exactly so." "The bed in which he was found was the Christian Church." "Certainly." "And the children found in bed with him teach us children's baptism and church membership." " Oh! " exclaimed the Baptist, whose ardent faith in the spiritualizing principle suddenly began to cool down, "that is carrying the process too far; you must stop before you come to that, brother." NOTES. It is with heartfelt gratitude that the editor of this page welcome Dr. Beckwith as pastor of the new church, and leader in the Christian work' of this city. Every member of the Y. M. C. A. should be thankful, that we are blessed with a man so heartily in sympathy with our special work for young men. We are but a branch of the great work he has come to conduct. Let us personally and unitedly follow his wise leadership, remembering our sufficiency is of the Susie, in her eagerness, upon seeing Master. a specially handsome butterfly, cried A very attractive entertainment was ''Oh, what a pretty flutter-by!" : �95 THE FRIEND. nHAS.

Lack of space forbids this, but we are glad to say that they will be incorporated in a pamphlet, shortly to be issued, containing the other related matters of interest. We feel no need of apologizing for again dividing the admirable resume of temperance history in Hawaii by Mrs. Whitney. We cannot afford to expend so much rich matter on our readers all in one banquet. It admirably helps to maintain the well-earned reputation of The Friend as a repository of Hawaiian and Pacific historical matter. THE AMERICAN BOARD AT SPRINGFIELD. The majority of our readers are probably acquainted with the painful controversy which rendered the annual meeting of the A. B. C. F. M. at Springfield, Massachusetts, a season of very trying contention, instead, as heretofore, one of happy fellowship and enthusiastic kindling of missionary purpose. We do not mean here even-to name the subject of disagreement, nor to indicate to which side we may chance to lean as to the issue before the Board. It was a new phase of the ever recurring controversies between that necessary and most serviceable party in the Church of Christ who are conservative and who earnestly withstand changes that are possibly pernicious heresies, and that other not less important party whoeagerly adopt what seems to be new and important light from God's word, but who may be too incautious in their zeal for progress. To borrow from Evolution, persistence of type and variation of form are both indispensable to desirable results. The Church can dispense with neither the Conservative nor the Progressive, although the one may some- times be too peremptory, and the other too headstrong. In the difficulty which now so painfully occupies the minds of the Congregational Churches and of the Prudential Committee, it seems clear to us, after reading much that has been said on all sides of the question, that both parties are equally in earnest to be guided by the Holy Scriptures, and -are equally loyal to the Lord Jesus Christ, and the work of his kingdom. Why so large and devout and highly cultured and able a body of Christian men have in God's Providence been permitted to get into so active a variance with one another, is not easy now to discern; but we do not doubt that like many other apparent evils this one will ultimate in great good to Christ's Church, and to the cause of the Evangelization of the world. One possible good suggests itself. No intelligent Christian is ignorant that the Evangelical churches of America have for more than a generation been almost insensibly drifting in the direction of materially discrediting the old severe doctrines of the fathers as to the future condition of sinful men, even as their sister churches in England and Europe are far gone over. Where do we now hear the old positions boldly and freely taken in our pulpits? Now it may be that the time has come when our churches are to know their own minds, and settle what they do or do not believe on these grave questions, and what their ministers shall preach, and not be silent upon { Certainly the existing contest in the Board is giving a resistless impulse to a thorough discussion of these questions, and is awakening a spirit of most earnest inquiry in a great multitude of Christian minds which have hitherto evaded taking issue upon them. Indeed, it looks as if our Evangelical churches had entered upon a period of sharp contention on these great topics, in which they will need the highest degree of brotherly love and forbearance. 1887. NUMIIKR 12. Another possible benefit has suggested itself, although we may be thought rash and even divisive and harmful to name such a thing. May not the time have come when the enlargement of the missions needs not only more money and more men, but when, also, more directing agencies are needed? Is a division of the missionary activity of the zealous and wealthy Congregational churches into direction by two Boards instead of only one a thing to be dreaded as an evil? There are said to be thousands of young students of both sexes pledging themselves to the foreign work among the heathen. It seems evident that a rapid expansion of missionary agencies is at hand, commensurate possibly with the enormous expansion of openings to reach the heathen tribes of Africa and India, and the "ungospelled" provinces of China. Perhaps more Boards arc needed to provide for all these workers. And it may be that in answering the many prayers of His people to "send forth laborers" the Lord of the harvest is now just decentralizing and pulling apart his people a little, in order to compel them to multiply agencies, and not continue to work everything through one organization, which may become cumbrous and overgrown. Division and separation is often the best thing—it is almost the law o£rgrowth and expansion. When we cover a lawn with grass, we divide the sods and set them apart. The gardener cuts his choice plants into bits in order to multiply them. Centralization is more to be feared than division and independence. We feel like saying, dear and honored American Board, and beloved Congregational churches of America, do not be afraid to divide, if you are at all out of accord —separate your agencies by all means. You of the grand old Board, go on; increase your contributions, and push your work. You who are unhappy because your noble devoted young men cannot pass the doctrinal tests imposed, send them out yourselves—it is a simple matter of business in the light of gathered experience. Prove what we are sure is true, that the new phase of doctrine has by no means "cut the nerve �[Decmbr, 1887. THE FRIEND. 96 of missions." For ourselves, there is nothing we should like better than to see a splendid young Board at once set to work and sending out its men and women into the great harvest, with a strong and liberal constituency. How emulous the two Boards would be each to do the most and best work for the Lord and King. Would not this be a grand competition that would double and treble the missionary activity of the churches! THE CENTRAL UNION CHURCH ORGANIZED. The proposed union of the Fort Street and Bethel Union Churches was carried into effect on the evening of November 13th, at services- in the Fort Street edifice, when the separate memberships of the two Churches formally entered into mutual covenant, and constituted the new organization under the name of the Central Union Church of Honolulu. The exercises were as follows:—1. Preliminary services of worship. 2. Sermon by Key. Dr. Beckwith: "The Church the Body of Christ." 3. Historical statements by the stated clerks of the two Churches. 4. Reading of the two letters dismissing the members of each Church, and of names of others uniting by letter and on profession. 5. Pronouncing in concert of the Articles of Faith and of the Covenant of the new Church by the whole membership standing. 6. The Moderator declares the Central Union Church of Honolulu to be now validly constituted by the solemn covenant of its members. 7. Prayer led by Rev. W. B. Oleson. 8. Doxology. 9. Benediction by Rev. H. Bingham. On this great occasion the house was thoroughly filled, the membership present and joining in the exercises, being probably over three hundred. These all seemed to deeply feel it to be a sacred, solemn and joyful act, when covenant with each Other and the Great Head was entered into with united voices. May we not confidently trust, that in accordance with our Lord's promise, what was at that moment bound on earth was also bound in heaven that the obligations and privileges then assumed received the Divine sanction and blessing ? On Sunday, the 20th, the new Church united in the morning in the Lord's Supper. At 2:30 P. m. a council convened, composed of pastors and delegates, as follows : Hilo Foreign Church—Rev. E. P. Baker, pastor; H. Deacon, delegate. Makawao Foreign Church—Rev. T. L. Gulick, pastor; H. P. Baldwin, delegate. Wailuku Foreign Church—Rev. A. D. Bissell, pastor; E. Bailey, delegate.

Dr. Hyde was followed by brief addresses from several other gentlemen, closing with a few pertinent remarks The company then from the King. proceeded to inspect the different buildings. First was the kitchen, with its spacious attachments, excellently vendilated, and supplied with a large range with the latest improvements. This large kitchen-building is constructed tntirelv of hewn stone. The door and window casings are of highly-finished dressed Stone, all ofthe black lava rocks which cover the extensive grounds so abundantly. It seems to be an excellent material. Mr. Oleson states that his Portuguese stone-dressers produce the blocks at a rate cheaper than brick could be supplied. Why is it not the best material for the main building, yet to be erected ? The site of the proposed main building is at the highest part of the grounds at the curve of the noble roadway, and facing the city, which is about one mile and a half distant. Next to the right and inland stands the commodious residence of the Principal, which faces the harbor. A little distance farther on the descending road now leading citywards stand two dormitory buildings ot two stories. Next comes the large dining hall, now used for school-rooms, and supplied with the latest educational furnishings ; and still beyond is a third dormitory in process of erection. These four buildings face toward the sea, standing along the inland side of the descending roadway. The three dormitories are all on the same plan,, and contain each twentyfour rooms 8 by 12 feet in dimensions, designed for occupation each byone scholar. The furniture consists of table, chair, bed and wardrobe shelves. We should have thought such accommodation very good in cur College days. There is a commodious lavatory in each of-these buildings. All are copiously supplied with wat. i '.'\ pipes from elevated tanks, into which it is raised some Co feet from an artesian well by steam power. lie ides the above are various outbuildings, including large rooms for washing and ironing clothes. All this and Other domestic work is to be performed by the scholars themselves. The grounds "are extensive, including some fifty acres. The greater part of the land is thickly sown with large, angular rocks of basaltic lava, the remains of an a-a or clinker flow, the smaller material of which has disintegrated into soil, leaving the more solid portions to cumber the surface. An immense amount of work has already been done in removing rocks along the splendid roadway, and in cutting and dressing blocks for underpinnings and other work, as well 97 THE FRIEND. as in terracing, and in the extensive and handsome stone fences around the grounds. There seems to be no immediate cause to apprehend a failure in the supply of material. Wonders have already been wrought in the improvement ot the grounds, and these promiseto become one of the most lovely of all our beautiful suburbs. A special entertainment was provided for the company til what to ourselves was an entire novelty —the hammer drill at the carpenter shop. Some fifteen lads stood at work-benches, each armed with a good hammer. Exercises were first gone through in concert, in blows upon wood by motion first of the wrist, then from the elbow, and lastly from the shoulder. Then each one in succession struck his hammer into a piece of soft redwood four times in turn. Each one's wood showed four round indentations ofa uniform and ev< n depth. Several of the visitors attempted to produce a like result, but in every case made an indentation deeper-on one side than the other. The boys had been in school only four weeks, and had every one become competent to deliver with precision and perfect economy of force any required blow with a hammer, and to that extent had become good carpenters. What was the nature of the drill or practice with saw. plane, chisel and other tools we did n. t learn, but have no doubt that it will be efficient. We need not say how wholesome an education such training is in its effects on mind and character, as well as upon hand and eye and muscle. It is evident that Mrs. Bishop's great bequest is being nobly employed, and that Hawaiian youth are to enjoy high and peculiar advantages in being qualified and furnished for useful and productive lives. That their moral and religious education will also be efficiently cared for needs no better guaranty than the character of the Trustees, and the earnest and able Christian energy ofthe Principal. We congratulate the Churches and the nation upon the opening of a school of this high character. A bright and noble prospect of usefulness is before it. as class after class shall enter, and it attains its full intended dimensions. TEMPERANCE IN HAMAKUA. Editor Friend: —In this district of Hamakua is the home of the man who publicly styled himself the "father and mother of the opium and liquor laws." He expected that on September 12th his friends would elect him to office. We all know of his great defeat. In this very district a quiet but earnest temperance work has been going on for several months. At Kukuihaele, on June 16th, Miss Green spoke in the native church, and ten or more took the blue ribbon. At same place. September 18th, Mr. Gribbles, Judge Miau, from Honokaa, R. A. Lyman, from Paauhau, and others spoke. Ten signed the pledge. October 30th, same place, a rousing meeting was held, Judge Miau, R. A. Lyman, Kaekeoahiwi, Rev. J. Goodell and others made remarks. There were earnest words and some stirring music, Miss M. A. Kirk singing very effectively several songs. Mr. R. A. Lyman did excellent work by the rapidity and ease with which he interpreted the speeches. Postmaster Homer and his good wife are active workers, Mrs. Homer being an officii of the Blue Ribbon League. As a result, thirty-five signed the pledge. Another meeting was held November 20th, and more names added. R. A. Lyman. Mr. Lightfoot, Mr. Blight from Waimea, J. Goodell and others spoke. The same day Messrs. Lyman and Goodell held a meeting at Waipio, and more names were put on the roll. Similar gatherings have been held at other places in the district. The conscience of the people is being roused to the importance ot the temperance work. Foreigners and natives are taking the pledge, and the public sentiment is, "The sale of opium and liquor must be stopped." Men working on the plantations are asking that no more liquor be sold. "Prohibit it, prohibit it." In Kukuihaele the Blue Ribbon has scored a triumph. Through its influence one man. who sold liquor, has stopped its sale, and joined the Blue Ribbon. The other, and harder case to deal with, was that of a man selling without a license. But, through his own "tricks that were vain," he has just been arrested and fined. Thus Hamakua is Speed the good redeeming herself. work! It is true, here and there are a few men who want to give the license to the liquor men. They say :" It lias always been sold ; therefore it cannot be stopped, and it would be a source of revenue to the Government." The most absurd proposition is, to grant licenses in all country towns, and then when a man gets drunk fine him heavily! " Benevolem c with a vengeance," some one says. But the great defeat of the " father of the liquor law " by the people of this district, and the springing into active life ofthe temperance work, proves that Hamakua wants no license within her borders. We do not believe that any Government has a right to exist which supports itself by money gained through the degradation of its people. A good sign of the times is the increasing interest in religious matters shown by the Hawaiians. A native Y. M. C. A. exists here, and meetings are held Sabbath afternoons. We have organized a singing-class, to meet once a week—free to all who may choose to come. The Sabbath School meets regularly, and there is a fair attendance. There is always preaching when anyone can speak, although there is nonative pastor in the district. J. Goodell. �98 ONE [Decmbr, 1887. THE FRIEND. HISTORY. "3.

This object was, at length, so far accomplished at least as to free the Government almost entirely from the responsibility of the traffic. About this time the following law was proclaimed—one of the earliest published laws of the kingdom "A law respecting drunkenness, established in the year of Our Lord, 1835: "1. We prohibit drunkenness. Whoever drinks spirituous liquors and becomes intoxicated and goes through the streets riotously, abusing those who may fall in his way, he is guilty by this law. He shall pay six dollars in money, or in other property of the same value, and for want thereof shall be whipped twenty-four lashes, or be condemned to labor one month, or be imprisoned one month. " 2. If the intoxicated person breaks down a fence, he shall pay one dollarfor each fathom, be the same more or less. And if the offender does not make redress according to this enactment he shall rebuild the fence which he has broken down. But if the breach in a fence or in a house be small, the fine likewise shall be small; and if the aggressor refuses to pay it he shall be imprisoned one month, and then liberated. This is the punishment for damaging a fence or a house. " 3. When the individual who damages a fence or a house pays the amount forfeited by his crime to the owner, he, the owner, shall pay to the judge one fourth of ever}' dollar which the fence breaker or the house breaker shall pay. Kamehameha 111. (Signed) Kekailuohi." (Signed) In March, 1838, the first license law was enacted, which jirohibited all selling of liquors without a license under a fine of fifty dollars for the first offense, to be increased by the addition of fifty dollars for every repetition of the offense. All houses for the sale of liquor were to be closed at ten o'clock at night, and from .Saturday night till Monday morning. Drunkenness was prohibited in the licensed houses under a heavy fine to the drinker, and the loss of his license to the seller. In 1840 the following law, prohibiting the manufacture and use of intoxicating dunks was enacted, and signed by Kamehameha 111. " In our inquiries alter the best means of promoting the interests of the kingdom, ii has appeared to us that an increase in the production of food is of great importance.

We have, then, here a large and important field for missionary effort. It may be interesting for the readers of this article to take a map and see from just what part ofthe Land ofthe Rising Sun " these immigrants come to us. It will be found that Japan is divided into some thirty-eight different departments. The Japanese who are nowhere in Hawaii-nei represent many different sections of the country—some coming from as far north as Niigata, where there is a mission station of the American Hoard ; others are from Tokio and Yokohama; but the very large majority come from the South, from the two Kens, or departments, called Heroshima and Yamagnchi, on the great island of Hondo. This portion of the umpire lies along the so-called Inland Sea, whose exquisite natural beauty is the delight of both the Japanese and of travelers who are privileged to visit this Here on the most charming region. mainland and on the many picturesque islands which stud this famous sea, the quiet farming and fisher folk have lived their busy and simple life, until the prospect of larger prosperity in our part of the world led them to emigrate hither. It is almost as if a section of the rural life of Japan had been magically transported across the ocean. These people have come but very little, if at all, in contact with foreigners; up to the present time there has been but comparatively little missionary effort in their part of Japan, if I am correctly informed. Hence we have a large number of this most interesting people who are to receive their first impressions of Occidental life, customs and manners, and, most important of all, the first presentation of Christianity from us. Are we ready and willing to meet this new responsibility ? Our first visit in this trip was to Hilo and the neighborhood. Here we found the Japanese Inspector and Doctor of very great assistance. They entered most heartily into all Mr. Miyama's plans for visiting among their countrymen on the different plantations, and were eager and enthusiastic in their aid at all times. A large and successful social gathering was held at the Court House, which was decorated with Hawaiian and Japanse flags and tropical foliage and flowers from the beautiful gardens of Hilo. Each guest wore a minature Japanese flag with a fern spray. On the Sabbath an interesting service was held at the Haiti Church, where the Gospel was earnestly preached. Later, other meetings were held on different plantations. Before leaving Hilo, it was arranged that a Japanese Sabbath School should be started. Mr. J. A. Martin kindly consented to lake charge of the same, and I have been pleased to hear from him since my return to Honolulu that it has been well attended! The trustees of the Haili Church kindly loaned a school-room for the use ofthe Japanese, Volume 45, KOKOLULU Tft/I P*fa is devoted to the itttsraats of the Hawaii:.

A recent visit to Hawaii and Maui, in company with the Rev. K. Myama, of the Japanese Mission in San Francisco, California, enabled me to see something of our Japanese friends on those islands, and afforded me an opportunity of prosecuting m.y work among the Chinese. As I may at some other time refer more especially to the present state of the mission work among this latter nationality, I would like to say a few words in regard to the very favorable impression which my companion made upon his countrymen in his earnest efforts to bring to them some knowledge of the religion of Jesus Christ, trusting this will be of interest to the readers of the Friend. All those who rejoice in the advance of the Redeemer's kingdom have reason to be grateful that Mr. Mivama was moved to pay our islands a visit, and to engage in evangelistic efforts here. He is Assistant Superintendent ofthe Methodist Episcopal Mission to the Japanese in California where his labors have been greatly blessed. Horn in Japan just before the new era of progress dawned upon that empire, his early years were spent amid the stirring and inspiring scenes of that most remarkable and eventful period. In his early manhood, led by that desire for knowledge, which is so striking a characteristic of his countrymen, be decided to visit the United States. Fortunately he found in the mission school of the Methodist Church in San Francisco warm and loving friends, and in time was led to accept of Christianity. With him this has been no mere intellectual concession to a superior religious system, but a whole-hearted and enthusiastic allegiance to a personal Savior whose praises he delights to sing, and whose name he counts it the highest privilege to proclaim to his countrymen. Under the guidance of that devoted and valiant friend and champion of both the Chinese and Japanese, Key. Dr. Otis Gibson, he studied theology, and in due time was admitted to the ministry. I have alluded thus in detail to the history of this friend, because in the instruction of Christian work among the Japanese on these islands, his visit among us has been of the greatest value, and he has helped to lay a foundation here on which There a great work may yet be reared. are at the present time scattered over our group some three thousand Japanese mostly engaged as laborers on our plantations. A large additional number are expected to arrive within a few days. " 101 and a large sign in English and Japanese now announces to the passer-by that there is a "Japanese Sunday School." In Kohala a week was spent, religious meetings being held nearly every evening with the Japanese on the different plantations, and on the Sabbath in the Chinese Church at Kaiopihi. As the birthday of the Emperor of Japan chanced to come during our visit in this district, an entertainment was given, to which a number of the foreign residents, with some Hawaiian friends and all the Japanese were invited. We were the guests of the Japanese Doctor and two other friends. Everything passed off in the most delightful manner. After the feast was over the Japanese present asked Mr. Mivama for a further address on the subject of religion. It was an extremely interesting scene, the attentive, earnest audience drinking in the words of the speaker and the eloquent, consecrated young apostle of the new faith, urging his countrymen to walk in this better way. Later, of their own accord, they contributed over fifty dollars towards defraying his traveling expenses while traveling over the islands. Rev. Mr. O.strom and family, with true missionary spirit, have started a Sabbath service for the Japanese. May God bless their labors. On Maui interesting visits were made among the Japanese at YVailuku, Paia, Spreckelsville, Hamakuapoko, and LaIn Wailuku a Sabbath School haina. was started under the superintendence of Rev. Mr. Bissell, and a night-school has been undertaken by Mrs. Yerrex. At Hamakuapoko the Japanese have been invited to have a share in the interesting Sabbath School of which Mrs. Hall has charge. Since his return from Maui, Mr. Miyama has been busy in Honolulu. He has now gone to Kauai for a visit of two weeks among his countrymen. Before Christmas he «x-pects to leave for San Francisco to resume his work there. His visit here has been most stimulating and helpful, and we shall have reason long to remember him and his efforts here with gratitude and love. In our already complex and polyglot missionary field, a new branch of work now presents itself—one full of most inviting possibilities and splendid promise. Let us wisely and prayerfully and enthusiastically set ourselves to meet this opportunity of advancing the interests of the Redeemer's kingdom. In long ago days Japanese junks, borne on the great ocean current of the North Pacific, drifted to our shores ; and here weary and wave-tossed exiles from that mysterious and unknown empire found help and succor. Now carried on the greater tide of God's Providence thousands of this nationality come among us. While they seek material gain and prosperity, let us be faithful in bringing to them knowledge of the Savior of the world and the riches of His love. �[Decmbr, 1887. THE FRIEND. 102 THE T. M. €. A. HONOLULU, H. I. This page is devuled to the interests ot the Honolulu Young Men's Christian Association, and tlie Hoard of Directors are responsible for it* contents. S. D. Fuller, -- - Editor. "Master, if you don't take any I shall go. Good-bye." But at the moment of his leaving the master appeared again and said that he would buy what he wanted. The hawker was, of course, confused by this offer, but endeavored to conceal his amazement, saying that he would not come down even a cent. The master said, "Oh no, I will take all you have at your own figure." The hawker was thunderstruck by this proposal, and stood a moment like a statue. Gazing calmly on his pale face, the master gently said, " My dear friend, you had better first take out the basin from your basket." This generous expression even more terrified him, and made him fall down at the feet of the master, as if he were suddenly knocked down by a fearful blow. He then begged his mercy for the crime he had just committed on account of his extreme poverty, and returned him the basin which he had concealed in the basket. Without saying anything about the theft, the master fulfilled his offer to buy all the vegetables, and besides gave the hawker the basin, with the explanation that he did not intend to give it for relieving his poverty, but for washing and cleansing his dirty mind with it. This admirable illustration never failed to show the poor fellow what he had to do with this most handsome present he had ever received. About a year after, he again appeared to this virtuous gentleman in a better condition than before, and returned him the basin with which he had improved his character as well as bis condition. One of the Sunday School Boys. A JAPANESE HAWKER. At the literary and social meeting of the Japanese Y. M. C. A.on the third Saturday of last month, one of the pleasant incidents was reading a newspaper (written, not printed), giving items of news, advertisements, correspondence, etc. One of the contributed articles in this jfapancsc Times is of such interest that its publication has been requested in these columns. In the lecture given by Mrs. Coleman at the Sunday School respecting the life of Christ, she explained that Baptism owes its origin to the washing of the body of those who attended to hear the preaching of John, and that the people of Israel were noted for giving illustrations in expressing their ideas, so that the act of washing their body was given as an illustration of cleansing their mind in order to prepare for the reception of the coming Messiah. This reminds me of an interesting story on moral improvement in Japanese, which singularly corresponds with the above illustration, and will show that Japanese are not less remarkable for the use of illustrations than the old ITEMS. Hebrews. The story runs as follows: Many years ago, there lived in Tokio Mr. R. T. Booth, the Gospel Tema poor hawker who went round a certain perance worker so well remembered by part of the city carrying a variety of many in this city, has passed on from vegetables in two baskets which were America to England, and is doing a balanced on a pole across the shoulder. grand work among our English friends.

He then cried out, saying, meeting. Labor personally with those known to be addicted to drink, invite them to the meeting, ask them to sign the pledge, and follow them up until they quit the drink or are beyond hope. Mr. T. H. Davies was one of ttle passengers for Honolulu by the Zealandia on November 26th. It seemed good to again see his pleasant face and hear his earnest words in our Gospel meeting in the hall last Sunday evening. He expects to remain in the city about four months. There is a noticeable absence of the blue ribbon badge so universally worn by the friends of temperance a few months ago. If it was a good thing to wear the "bit of blue" then, it is the right thing to wear it now. Surely this is no time to hide our colors or slacken our .efforts to help and encourage our weaker brother. The latest, but not least, publishing enterprise is that of the Japanese Times, from which the first article on this page is copied. It is a four-page paper, entirely written, and to be published monthly by the Japanese Y. M. C. A. The first number is a very interesting and creditable piece of literary work. OUR NEIGHBORS. The Seventh Annual State Convention ofthe Young Men's Christian Associations of California convened in Woodland, October 12th to 16th. It is said to have been the best ever held in the State (a claim made for every former one we believe). This certainly indicates progress, and should be literally true each year, as a legitimate result of enlarged work and added workers. A good list of live practical topics were discussed with spirit and profit. There were present 162 delegates, 24 ofthe number being from College Associations. In 1882 there were only two associations in California: now there are thirty-two, efeven of which aie in colleges. The sum of 53,000 was raised for state work. Mr. C. S. Mason, formerly General Secretary of this Association, was reelected State Secretary, and Mr. J. S. Voorhees was elected Associate Secretary. A generous donation to the State fund was made on behalf of the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. by Mr. J. B. Atherton of this city, who was present. TOPICS. A Gospel Praise Service is h«ld in the Y. M. C. A.

May it be one of peace and hopeful endeavor, and growing righteousness in our own souls and in all the land. For ourselves, we desire to make this new and forty-sixth volume of the Friend one that shall be in keeping with its honored past, while filling worthily its province in the present time. We hope to make it readable, inspiriting, and of value for permanent record. And we desire that its voice shall always answer in clear tone to the call of duty and right. SANTA CLAUS. Dear old Grand-pa Santa Claus has just been exceedingly busy among his very numerous little friends in Honolulu. We do not believe anybody could do away with his services here if they wanted to. He came down in great force at the Central Union Sabbath School on the evening of the 23d, in all his glory of full and snowy beard, with several sleigh loads of gifts. No Bostonian doubts about his goodness and virtues have ever troubled these parts. With Phillips Brooks, we agree that we "never met a man who became a liar or a reprobate by believing in Santa Claus when a child." REACTIONARY EFFORTS. A more or less determined effort has been in progress since our last issue to replace the direction of the government hands of the King, from whom it taken away by the political revolu- Ke JANUARY, 1888. tion of last July. So far the reactionists have not ventured to appeal to force, although their native papers have virulently threatened it. It is quite well understood that any such intentions have already encountered very discouraging intimations. The attitude of the Foreign Commissioners, and the presence of one British and three American ships of war are not favorable to that kind of demonstrations, even if there were any formidable class in the community disposed to support the King's pretentions. No fact has been more patent to all classes of intelligent men than that the King's mental and moral condition had become such as thoroughly to incapacitate him for exercising any sort of direction or control in the government of the nation. We desire to speak of this compassionately, as we deeply feel, but no clearer evidence of a thorough mental and moral disarrangement is needed than the well known occurrences a year ago of the King's soliciting and receiving a bribe of 575,000, and then recklessly and cheerfully repudiating his bargain while retaining the money. And this is only one of a large variety of acts enforcing the same conclusion of incapacity and a degree of irresponsibility. A civilized, progressive, and law-abiding community were compelled to secure for themselves orderly and responsible government, doing it with a moderation and kindness towards the offending monarch which many are now tempted to feel was unwise. 1 The Friend. Nu.MIIKR I. that, however important, these measures should have met with the strenuous opposition of individuals. 'They may have been in the right, and the Friend has no issue with them. What does seem a ground of regret is, that any of the minority should have refused to let the will of the majority decide these questions, and should have invoked the interposition ofthe will of the disordered and incapacitated King. We can respect fair and honest fighting; but what are we to think of a party which will unlock Bedlam for recruits ? We congratulate the country, and we honor the Legislature for their very marked attitude of firmness and union in condemnation of these reactionary attempts. Their union has been more marked, and their majorities more overwhelming as the weeks have gone on, and the members have returned from their recess, and faltering minds have been fortified by intercourse with their constituents. While it is true that " revolutions never go backward," yet there are often disastrous reactions in the advancing tide. It is becoming more and more apparent that no such reaction is likely to prevail at this time, but that the cause of Responsible Government is to go forward uninterruptedly. It should be, and we believe will be, the earnest and confiding prayer of devout souls, that God may give prosperity and success to the cause of good government in Hawaii, and that He will over-rule all hostile influences and attempts to the clearer disclosure of the During the session ofthe Legislature, true character of evil elements, and to now of nearly two months' continuance, the uniting and encouraging of all good differences of sentiment arose on various elements in society. questions, as was to be expected, and as As intimated above, the undisguised is not undesirable.

A leadpeople. It is not matter of complaint ing one is the jealous apprehension that �the whites, who are the leaders in the Reform movement, will appropriate all the powers of government to themselves. Another is the glamour of Royalty, and worship of its divinity which is profoundly and inseparably entwined in Hawaiian souls, and which even bias the thoughts of cultivated white men and women born and educated here. Still another is superstitious fear of the baleful powers of Royalty to bewitch and destroy, which is the wretched heritage of Hawaiians from their heathen past. All these means of influencing the native mind with many others have been plied to the utmost during the past weeks. Yet we believe that the great body of intelligent Hawaiians feel that the Legislature is composed mainly of men in earnest sympathy with them and sensitive to their rights and claims. We trust that the outcome of all will increase and not impair the mutual confidence of the two races. We are most thankful to add, as we go to press, that the contest has happily ended by the complete surrender of the King to the demands ofthe Legislature. This good result is due to the firm and resolute course of the latter, and to their clear apprehension of the fundamental issue presented. The dignified and determined attitude of the Legislature and Cabinet, persisting to success, adds a lustre to Hawaiian history, hitherto lacking, and which proves no deterioration of nerve and fibre on these tropic shores. The great party of Responsible Government comes out of the contest stronger, more united, and greatly enlightened by the experience. We congratulate the community and the nation upon the bright and assured prospects for the public welfare with which, under God's favor, we are entering upon the New Year. May the men of Hawaii fill the year with work worthy of their noble opportunities. BOOK NOTICES. Candalaria —A heroine of the wild West: by Mrs. T. A. Owen. London : Hodder & Stoughton. pp. 244.

A chapter is added on the pernicious effects of awa, the great narcotic of Oceanica. The whole is published under the auspices of the W. C. T. Union, with the especial purpose of informing Hawaiian youth about the evil effects of intoxicants. Hawaiian Almanac and Annual for jBSB. The fourteenth issue of this compendium of island information comes freighted more than ever with valuable tables and articles for convenient reference. The compiler, Mr. T. G. Thrum, has utilized in a concise form, the important events of the past year in his retrospect, and has brought down to date, a chronological table of Hawaiian events from the Annual of 1876. Dr. Hyde's contribution on " Hawaiian Words for Sounds," Mr. E. Bailey's article on the "Flora and Fauna of the Hawaiian Islands," and the historic legend of " Umi, his birth and reign," give varied research in Hawaiian lore. The New Constitution, the Resolutions of the Mass Meeting of June 30th, with the King's reply, are of special interest to readers here and inquirers abroad. Besides are copious statistical tables and lists on, one would think, all possible subjects of political, scientific, mercantile or economic interest concerning this group. 'The fourteen numbers of Thrum's Annual constitute a species of Encyclopaedia of information about the Hawaiian Islands. REV. JAMES WILLIAM SMITH, M. D. Hardly any man has passed from among us for many years, who more completely than Dr. Smith, had earned by character, position and labors, the name of a Missionary Father. Dr. Smith was born at Stamford, Connecticut, July 8, 1810. Graduating from the New York College, he practised medicine five years until 1842, when he sailed for these Islands with his wife as a missionary physician under the A. B. C. F. M., coming with the Rowells by the well-worn route around Cape Horn. They were early stationed at Koloa, Kauai, which became their life home. As the only physician upon that island, his medical labors were Kiduous. He was, during his years of strength, subject to frequent and sudden calls to rapid rides to Hanalci forty miles in one direction, and to Waimea twelve miles in the other. Our missionary physicians in the old days had to be active horsemen, and to own good horses. Dr. Smith labored much also in spiritual things, and after some years was ordained to the missionary pastorate in the Koloa field. This special office he resigned in later years to a native successor, but continued active in spiritual labors, extending a supervisory and supporting influence more and more among the native pastors of the Kauai churches. In time Dr. Smith became the sole survivor of the missionary fathers on that island. By means of many sources of influence, chief among which was his own eminence of Christian wisdom and love, he secured a powerful ascendency among the Hawaiian pastors, who came to accept his direction and even control, to a degree unequalled in any other part of the Island mission field. One element contributing to this was the high esteem in which Dr. Smith was held by the white planters and ranch-owners, who had much power among the people. F"or the last few years, however, his failing strength and increasing sicknesses had greatly limited his ability to extend his welcome aid to the weak native churches. He wrought, however, to the last, only two weeks before his death having conducted the two Sabbath services of the day at Koloa. Dr. Smith was one of refined and benignant aspect, conveying the impression of practical wisdom, gentle firmness, and sweet and dignified devoutness, a saintly and lovely man to whom one heartily rendered the tribute of veneration as a true Missionary leather. He has passed from us in the ripeness of his years and labors, leaving his honored widow with her three sons and four daughters, and many grandchildren, to whom his will be a revered and sacred memory, while the thought of the noble stock from which they have sprung will abide with them as a guardian benison. The funeral services took place on Thursday, December ist. A discourse was preached by Rev. H. Isenberg from Revelations 2:10: "Be thou faithful unto death and I will give thee a crown of life." ONE PHASE OF HAWAIIAN HISTORY. (Concluded.) There was in all these years a strict tabu upon selling or giving liquor to a native Hawaiian. The first article of the law of 1850, and which continued in force till it was superseded in 1882 by our present liquor law, read as follows: " Whoever shall sell, give, purchase, or procure for, and in behalf of any native of this kingdom, or for his use, any spirituous liquor or other intoxicating drink or substance, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding two hundred dollars; and in default of the payment of such fine, by imprisonment at hard labor for a term not exceeding two years." The Minister of the Interior was allowed to grant licenses to retail liquor, but only in Honolulu. Vox several years we hear of little temperance agitation till in July, 1859, a new society, modelled after one existing in California called the " Dashaways " was organized. The peculiarity of their pledge was that they only promised to abstain from thinking spirits, and that for a definite time. 'They pur- �Volume 46, No. !.] posed to dash a-tcay the cup, and to sustain each other in doing so; and seem to have at once dashed into a needed existence after five years of the almost unrebuked reign of intemperance here. It doubtless helped some men to reform. But after some two years, it dashed out of existence as suddenly as it came, and we hear of it no more. F'rom that time for twenty years, until the year 1881, there is no record of any organized effort to promote temperance reform in the country. Except in Honolulu, the islands were under practical prohibition. It was very difficult for the natives anywhere to obtain liquor, and there was little drunkenness among them. At the same time, except among a limited number, there was little public sentiment in favor of total abstinence. The attention ofthe community had not been aroused to the subject, and wine was much more freely used in many Christian families than it can ever be again. Meantime a great revival of temperance had taken place in the United States. The wonderful Woman's Crusade had solidified into a national organization, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and its influence was being felt among all classes and in all parts of the country. It seemed therefore, to the friends of temperance that some more aggressive step ought to be taken in this little country. At the same time, in a community so small and already supporting so many societies, it appeared unwise to endeavor to organize any general temperance association. At length a somewhat anomalous scheme was devised, but one which, for the time, served an admirable purpose and accomplished a work which has blessed the whole community. This was to have a large committee of Christian men and women interested in temperance which, while they should not hold stated meetings, should, at any time, convene at the call of the chairman. In April, 1881, an informal meeting, to consider the matter, was held in the Lyceum, which resulted in the organization known as the " Committee of Twenty-one." Prom this number various sub-committees were appointed with power to add to their number from others not included in the general committee. Dr.. C. M. Hyde was chairman ofthe committee through its whole existence. Their object was to conduct public temperance meetings, solicit signatures to the pledge, obtain statistics and other information for publication, work among the young, and endeavor to enforce more perfectly existing laws relating to the manufacture and sale of intoxicating drinks. A series of interesting public meetings was sustained for several months, supported mainly by home talent, which were very effective in arousing public interest. In August, 1881, Mr. M. L. Hallenbeck came from San FYancisco, 3 THE FRIEND. Honolulu. Drunken natives are daily seen upon our streets. The records of the police courts show their frequent arrests. This in connection with the now recently passed opium law, is debauching and destroying the native as rapidly as Satan himself could wish. liven so conservative a body as the Planters, in their recent convention, at the invitation of the committee, to in hold a series of Gospel Temperance meetings. These meetings soon developed into distinctively evangelistic services, and their blessed results are too fresh in the minds of most of us to need any rehearsal here. Not a few before me look back upon them as the means of their temporal and eternal salvation, and the whole Christian community received an impetus which has never been lost. Two years later this committee united with the Y. M. C. A. in calling Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt to visit Honolulu in the interests of Temperance. In November, ISB4, she arrived and held a series of meetings, of which the chairman, in a farewell note, said: "We wish to express to you our great gratification and satisfaction with the style and results of the good work you have done here. The whole community has been most favorably impressed by the calm, dignified and kindly tone in which you have presented the unanswerable arguments of undeniable facts in favor of total abstinence for the individual, and legal prohibition by the Government, as the only adequate remedy for the evils arising from the use of alcoholic beverages." This Union is one of the results of her mission. Shortly after its organization the Committee of Twenty-one was, by mutual consent, disorganized and its archives passed over to the W. C. T. U. as to its natural successor." In 1882 the law—prohibitory, as affecting Hawaiians—which had practically been in force for sixty years, under which the Hawaiian nation had passed from infancy to manhood, was repealed, against the protests and petitions of thousands of our best citizens, we might almost say of all who had the real interests of the nation at heart. Let it be remembered that this law was not forced upon the natives by foreigners, nor by any foreign power, but was first devised by the chiefs under the regency of Kaahumanu and repeatedly re-enacted in different forms under many subsequent administrations. And this, too, against the continual opposition of individuals and nations whose claims to superior civilization might well be questioned. We cannot too much admire the wise firmness shown by the chiefs and people in thus persistently standing for the right. In its place the liquor law of 1882 was passed, allowing the Minister ofthe Interior to grant licenses to sell liquors to any one in Honolulu or elsewhere having a license to sell other goods. Its results are too well known. The importation of liquors has increased from 100,000 to 300,000 gallons annually. Against the wishes and protests of all the best residents, saloons have been licensed and are in full operation in nearly every town in the country. Liquor stores have more than doubled " report: " The licensing of the sale of opium, and the retail liquor shops established in several of the country districts has proved detrimental to the planting interests as well as to the general well being of the laboring people. " Agents of the so-called opium company have traveled throughout the group, visiting every plantation, village and hamlet, carrying the deadly and de- moralizing drug. "Evil only has resulted crease liquor." from the in- of establishments for selling I hope that the very apparent conclusion is evident to all, that in this country, as in greater ones, all attempts to " regulate this irregularity " to legalize this law-breaker, to license the sale of this soul-destroyer, to make respectable this traffic which Satan instituted, and which is still his pet abomination, is worse than useless. The only objection to the former law was that only the natives shared in its blessings. Let us of the fairer race also claim our share. Let us ask for ourselves and our families the same protection. Let us understand and proclaim in no uncertain manner that we of little Hawaii-nei in unison with the true patriots of all lands, demand of our law-makers no half measures, no partnership in the iniquity for our Government; but immediate, absolute, unconditional Prohibition !

McCully of By we print the followCourt the Supreme ing extracts from a paper read before the Social Science Club, Nov. 28, 1887. They especially illustrate many peculiarities in the mixed social structure of this country. A new volume of Hawaiian Reports of Supreme Court decisions came out October 22, 1887. It is the fifth of our series. Vol. 1., a thin book of 310 pages, contains reports of some of the judgments and decisions of the Courts of Record for the ten years prior to 1856. The year 1846 carries us back to the beginning of civilized jurisprudence in this Kingdom. Vol. 11. reports the Supreme Court from 1857 to 1865; Vol. 111., 1866 to 1877; Vol. IV., 1878 to 1883; Vol. Y. comprises the decisions of the court in banco from July, 1883, to October, 1886, with an appendix containing sundry cases not in this period and not previously published. The com- �4 THE FRIEND. pilation has been made by William Foster, Esq., Clerk of .the Supreme Court. It bears, throughout, evidences of the systematic and librarian habit of the compiler. The whole style of the volume will bear favorable comparison with the work of Little, Brown & Co. This paper will notice in an entirely desultory way some of the indications and suggestions which this book affords of the state of society, business, and litigation in this country. Of the sixteen Crown cases in which exceptions have been taken which have brought them up from a jury or lower court before the Supreme Court, nine indicate, by their names, Chinese deFive are Hawaiian, one fendants. American, and one Norwegian, showing a country of mixed nationalities, with a large quota of Chinamen. The first indexed Chinese case arises from a lottery. It discloses an elaborate system for concealing the operations of the defendants. It indicates what we know otherwise, that the Chinaman has brought here this one of his national vices, that there are large companies working daily drawings or coincidences of tickets, in which the poorest may invest and lose their wages. The next is a case of perjury. But who is to know what perjury is committed under the impenetrable monosyllabic language, whose tones are so familiar to us, whose words so unknown? We do not in our courts undertake to question the Chinese witness if he believes in God, or in a future state of retribution. We do not swear him by any mode peculiar to his own country. We take his testimony in his own language unless he is an old resident who speaks intelligible Hawaiian, or more rarely, linglish. The court or jury must balance contradictions in testimony, and circumstances, and arrive at its conclusion not always satisfactory. I question if practically we suffer as grave consequences from our presumed perjuries as we might fear. Those consequences are for the most part confined to the Chinese. There may be those who are outside of prison through perjury, probably not many who are in prison by it. Three cases relate to opium. The inferior courts try a multitude of opium cases. One of these reported decisions of the Supreme Court gave rise to the enactment of a statute in the session of 1866 providing that Custom House ofricers may search domestic ships and freight on the wharf suspected of con- taining contraband or dutiable goods. In the case of Chuck Hoon the filial piety of this race is seen. Twenty dollars had been delivered to him to be conveyed to the donor's mother in China. He did not deliver it to the mother, and returning here, he refused to return it to the sender. It was claimed that the act of the embezzlement must have been committed in China, but the court held that he could likewise be tried here. Chinese Civil business. Chinese names appear on one or both sides of a good proportion of the civil cases reported in the book. In two bankrupt cases we find rice plantations, and a foreigner the assignee of bankrupt Chinamen. Another feature is the number of partners. In a case now pending there are thirteen partners. They call themselves a company and take a company name. These partnerships become unwieldy. They possess many of the characteristics of corporations, such as permitting partners to sell their interests, and accepting the buyer into the firm. I do not intend to make a special case against the Chinese for eminence in fraudulent bankruptcy, but it may be concluded that they have little to learn of it from others. Water rights cases. It appears that this is a country where cultivation greatly depends upon irrigation, and the rights of water depend, for the most part, on allotments made in ancient times, which are now to be fitted to the demands for the cultivation of sugar and rice, in addition to the Hawaiian taro. It appears that the three water commissioners of each district cannot award damages for the wrongful diversion of water, but they may make orders for the future, such as the removal of dams, the shutting off of ditches, etc. In one of the cases, David t». Afong, the court, for the first time in this country, has occasion to adopt the principle of law which distinguishes the rights in water flowing visibly above ground, and that which courses in subterranean and unknown channels. A. may bore a well which shall cut off or draw off the supply from his neighbor B.s well, and B. But this would be without remedy. does not apply to the case of A. making his well the receptacle of nuisances or poisons contaminating the water of B. He may take away B.s water, but he may not spoil it. This case of Davis v. Afong was one of taro vs. rice, of the old Hawaiian rights vs. Chinese industry and enterprise. Another case, between Loo Chit Sam et al and Wong Kirn, discloses the difficulty in deciding satisfactorily and exactly by the evidence offered. The contention in this case is whether or not the defendant had enlarged the boundaries of ancient taro land which would be presumed to have ancient water rights, and taken in what of old had been kula. or dry, unirrigated land, for all of which he claimed water. Two of the judges visited the premises, they being within three miles of town. After inspection the conclusion of the Court was that it could give no reason for sustaining a different decision from that made by the Commissioners. Reasons for the uncertainties of evidence were stated thus: Previous to the cultivation of rice, which may be said to have commenced since the reciprocity treaty of 1876, the area of taro culture had greatly diminished. [January, 1888. Taro patches were allowed to go dry, and even be used for grazing as if kula land. So the testimony tends to make them kula. The great demand for rice land brought the disused taro patches into requisition because water right attached to them. The enterprising Celestial pares the kuaunas or division banks to the thinnest, or cuts them away altogether. He cuts into the dry land and creates new patches. The identifying features of the place are obliterated. Again, not every taro patch had a good supply of water every year. The advancing desiccation of the country must also be considered. The Water Commissioners are also Commissioners of Rights of Way. The change from the mode of aboriginal times to civilization sometimes appears in these cases. F"ootpaths served the old Hawaiian. After roads and streets are made, there are yet house lots in the interior of blocks and patches and building sites, only accessible by a track along a kuauita. This comes to be insufficient, or is cut off. The tendency is to enlarge the footpath to a hand-cart track, then to a carriage road. In Achi v. Poni, there was no access to a lot in Honolulu but by boat per the river. The Court had to carve out a way along a stone wall and through an out-house to give the tenant access, then to a lane so narrow and crooked that a coffin could not be well carried out through it. Another kind of commission dealing with a unique and peculiar business is the Commissioner of Boundaries. These cases carry us back to the time when the surveyor had not been abroad with his compass and chain. All the lands of the kingdom were once held by lines depending on tradition, and when in 1848, and thereafter, titles were given by the King to those holding by ancient right, nothing else was possible in the majority of cases but to grant the land by its name. To this day there are tracts of land of which no survey has been made and boundaries affirmed by legal authority. An interesting case, though not coming into the Supreme Court, was that of the boundaries of the vast land of Humuula, on Hawaii, the area in dispute being nearly fifteen miles Ion;;, and from one to three miles wide. This depended on testimony as to how far up the mountain the edge of the forest extended at one time, everything having since been changed by the ranging of wild cattle. It also depended on evidence as to how far the ancient feather bird ranged, and was caught by the old lining bird-catchers, The principal witnesses in the case were so old that it was. doubted if they knew anything at all. Unsatisfactory as some of these decisions are, it is better that some decision should be made, and as time advances the evidence diminishes.

J. W. Kanoa of Butaritari, the most northern island of the Gilbert Group. The letter was dated September 4th and reported the Star as being then at that island on her way southward through the group. In the Weekly Bulletin of San Francisco for December 21st we find an account of the Gilbert Islands and their inhabitants which occupies a little more than two columns of that paper, and professes to be written by some person who has visited those islands. The article is well written, and the most of its statements might have conveyed a tolerably accurate idea of the state of that people twenty-five years ago. But it seems to us that at this time any intelligent writer, and especially any professed eye-witness of the present condition of things at the Gilbert Islands is inexcusable for such geographical blunders, and such glaring omissions as are found in this statement. In the first place, the writer speaks of them as "now called the 'Gilbert Islands,' formerly known as the 'Kingsmill group,' and locally as the 'Radick Chain' of Coral Atolls." He further says that "they lie between 1750 and 177" W. and Now 20 S. and 30' N. ofthe Equator." the Radick, or Radak, Chain of islands has no connection whatever with the Gilbert group. It is a part of the Marshall Island group, entirely distinct from the Gilbert Islands and situated nearly two hundred miles north of them. The 7 Neat churches and framed dwellings Marshall Islands consist of about twenty atolls, arranged in two nearly parallel may be seen on most of the islands, and lines running southeast and northwest, trading vessels from San Francisco and and lying between 6° and io° north Lat- Sydney and the Hawaiian Islands pass itude, and 1660 and 1720 East Longitude up and down through the group without from Greenwich. These two parallel apprehension of danger where thirty lines of atolls are distinguished as the years ago it was not considered safe for Radak and the Ralik chains of islands; for them to touch. All this is not to say by any means the Radak being the windward chain and the Ralik the leeward, as the northern that there are no remains of the old heathenism among that people, nor that trade winds blow.

We are inclined to think he is a member of our Association. If so, we hope that in the followlowing pen-picture which we copy from the Newark Monthly Messenger, he will recognize himself and reform—making a new start with the new year " Baker, my dear fellow, you have joined the Young Men's Christian Association —so they tell me." " Yes ; went in to help along a good thing." Well, I'm glad to hear it, but I have my misgivings about you; excuse me, but it's so. I may as well be plain. You join everything that comes along. Baker, you're a great joiner. • Your name is down on twenty different rollbooks as a member, and you ain't worth a snuffed candle to any of them. Now let me give you a bit of my opinion about active membership in Christian Associations. As that is, so are the Associations. Ten men like you serving on committees would kill the liveliest association between any two oceans. I'd rather have five stuffed giraffes to put in the rooms to draw, than ten such fellows as you. They would entice more men in a minute than you in a month. The fact is, Baker, you're too thin ; there is mighty little of you; you havn't got spunk enough to attend one regular meeting for a month ; neither do you intend to work—you join to get the entertainments almost free. When receptions are given, men of your stamp are there in great numbers. Suppose you that we can carry on our great work with men of your build ? Will men be reached and helped by the kind of effort you Christians put forth ? Never. Why, one man with push, piety and power is like a steam-engine to a child's rattlebox alongside of you." "That's rather hard on me, Mr. Secretary." "Yes; but it is as true as this, that you can't churn butter out of skimmed milk. Don't get the idea, Baker, that you are of no use at all. You are ; for even skimmed milk, thin as it is, was always used on the farm. To be sure it went to fatten pigs—but that was something, you know." "I'll get out; give me back my : " money." " Hold on now, don't boil over—this will do you good ; you can't get wagons out of deep ruts without some hard jerks over big stones in front of the wheels. Suppose you take a few facts home and think'em over; I've got them printed for some more fellows just like you." FACTS. What good am I doing the world ? Who is better for my living ? As a Christian young man, what is my influence ? Have I ever been converted ? If I were dead, would any work feel my loss ?— Yatman. �THE FRIEND. RIGHT HAND OF FELLOWSHIP. the remnant ofthe Hawaiian nation will remembering the present where you are, be saved for earth and time, even as to anticipate the future whither you go? (By Rev. Baker, Nov. 20, 1887.) E. P Mr. Baker spoke ofhimself as a neighbor from the vicinity of Dr. Beckwith's old home, and appointed to welcome his return to another of his homes. He stated the reasons why so many of those living here were glad he had come back. "We are glad," Mr. Baker said, "very glad to see you. And we welcome you first of all, to a position. If the churches ofthe Islands are to have any Bishop at all, you must certainly be that Bishop (Dr. Hyde and Mr. F'orbes being apostles rather than Bishops.) This church has no debt upon it in dollars and cents; but you whom the church has called, come here heavily mortgaged, in the influence you exert, the power given you, the sympathy you feel for others, and others feel for you, to the whole Islands, to help improve their Christianity and elevate their civilization. According to British authority, last winter's lava flow ran down its fiery way in Honolulu. We can smile at the mistake, but it is no mistake that the islands ought to be able to look to Honolulu for spiritual warmth and fire. (Yes! it is the Central Union Church.—Ed.) "Paul was a debtor to all men, and it will not be an unkind welcome I bestow on you, when I say that you in coming to these shores, will encounter a similar indebtedness. Called are also you to proclaim Christ's gospel in the utmost Not western verge of Christendom. very much farther west of you is longitude 1800 the boundary between the East and the West. From Spurgeon in longitude i° to Beckwith in longitude 1570 represents the breadth of Christendom. "You have come to a movement in the direction of Christian Unity. Such is the union of Bethel and Fort Street. Denominational peculiarities, bad things when they go off and set up for themselves, are good things when they coexist in the same body. In every church ought to be the Methodist element, or the emotionalism of Christianity wrought into a permanency by rules and methods; the Baptist element, or individual conscientiousness asserting itself in small things when they are matters of principle, as well as in large things; the Congregational element, or sanctified common sense of which no church should be bereft; the Presbyterian element, or that consecrated solidity and endurance which give to Christianity its hold-on and never-let-go power; and the Episcopal element, or beauty consrcrated to Christ, beauty of architecture, beauty of ritual, and beauty of method. As things are, you will be minister (angel if you please), ofthe Church in Honolulu, simply.

With our honored Brother Doane, we would recognize the good hand of theLord and ascribe the praise to Him, who answers the prayers of His faithful servants, and has not left their weak and suffering flock to be slain, nor His churches in Ponape to be wasted. The tercentenary of the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, in 1687, has lately been celebrated. Beautiful, evilju fated, the most romantic figure of the sixteenth century, she continues still to be pitied, to be admired, and to be detested. But it is impossible to ignore the more significant question at issue which overshadowed the personal antagonism of. Elizabeth and Mary. This was, whether Mary should become Queen of England —whether Rome or Protestantism should prevail in Scotland and England—whether the Bible or the Inquisition should rule in the two countries. When Mary's head fell, all the coming Liberty and Light of England and America were delivered with a great deliverance. CHURCH ITEMS. Rev. E. P. Baker has resigned the pastorate of the Hilo Foreign Church, to take effect in June. Kaumakapili Church is erecting a new and powerful organ, which is nearly all in place. Rev. James Bicknell, for some time retired from regular missionary labor, is about to engage in Evangelistic touring. Rev. J. Q. Adams, of the Westminster Presbyterian Church of San Francisco, is sojourning in Honolulu, seeking rest and recuperation. �10 THE FRIEND. The Central Union Church has been actively organizing its various lines of Christian work. The weekly collections for these objects have been liberal. The Central Union Church has adopted the practice of printing and placing in the seats a programme of all church notices instead of having them El from the pulpit, of Kela to take care of us in respect to all things as long as we live." Kela had subsequently conveyed the premises to the defendant in this suit. The plaintiff's case was that they had not received support from the grantee. The Court held that the terms of the deed made their support a matter of personal confidence in their son-in-law, and did not create a conditional estate in the consent premises.

Many persons testified that his real name was Naihe, son of Kumoa and Lonohiwa; that, born atWaimea, Hawaii, he came as a youth to Honolulu, and acquired the name of Kikipine, or "Sixpins," by employment in a bowling-alley. On the other side a party of respecta ble witnesses testify that they knew Kikipine from his boyhood, and afterward as the owner of the premises in Manoa; that his father was Kukae (not Kumoa) and his mother Puu, (not Lonohiwa;) that he was born at Waimanalo, Oahu; that he came as a youth to Honolulu, and got his name Kikipine by setting up pins in a bowling-alley. Fortunately the court was not compelled to decide which was the owner. The foreign reader of this volume would learn that we are, unfortunately, a leper country, from the opinion of the Justices in reply to queries submitted by the Legislature. The phraseology and the form of the three questions indicate the Hawaiian origin of the proponents. The first question is: Is it a crime to be afflicted with leprosy that these people are confined at Kalawao and Kakaako 5 The two following questions are whether the laws for segregation are not in violation of the Constitution. The court answers that these laws are enacted under what is termed the Police Power of the State, termed by Dwarris the law of overruling necessity. Salus popitli suprcnia lex. If it did not exist in this Kingdom our population would be liable to be swept away by any and every contagiftus disease that might come to our shores, and no measures of quarantine or restriction could be taken against it. The legislative inquiries are interesting as showing the restiveness and suffering of the Hawaiians under the necessarily hard provisions of the law, from which they are the chief sufferers, and indicate the unfitness of a purely Hawaiian government to take care of the natives. [We learn from the President of the Board of Health that for every individual leper sent by him to Molokai, he is subject to the most heart rending appeals in their behalf from two or more of their relatives. A wife will beg to take hei children and live among the lepers with her husband. From another source we learn that lepers have recently been found with permits to go at large, issued from high quarters for $5 each.—Ed.] master and servant. Sundry cases under this caption in the index show the existence of a system not permitted in any degree by the United States, that is, importing persons under contract to serve and labor for a term of years. In Rickard vs. Conta, the question was presented of construing what was intended by a term of three years, twenty-six working days to be counted and paid for as a month. Within the three years the laborer had failed to work eichtv-nine days. The emnlover �claimed to be entitled to eighty-nine days of labor which he would pay for beyond the expiration of three calendar years. The court held that the contract covered only the three calendar years, and that the terms constituting twentysix days a month only fixed the rate of wages for the days actually worked within the three years. Custom may have familiarized us with the features of our contract service, but I think that every planter will agree that it will be a desirable state of things when the apparent necessity for importing people under contracts, and of "shipping" men already in the country in order to secure a steady and sufficient supply of labor for our industries will have passed away. In the eyes of our American neighbors we maintain a system of peonage, something not unfrequently thrown out against us, and not easily answered. [There has long been an efficient system of inspection and protection of contract laborers by the government. No serious acts of abuse or oppression can well exist. The stories of such abuse which occasionally appear in American papers are totally without foundation.—Ed.] Two cases offishing rights take us back to primitive times. The right to fish out to "chin deep" of a man wading, the right of a hoaaiua, or tenant, to fish in the waters of the great Landlord, are involved in these cases —curious and important controversies which there is not time to present here. With the mention of one anomaly of justice arising from our statute of appeaß, I will close this disconnected list of peculiarities of our life and business exhibited in the courts. In Nakanelua vs. Kailianu, the controversy was upon the owenership of a pig. The defendant had slaughtered him, and claimed that it was his own white and black hog. Two courts had found that the hog was the plaintiff's and that he was worth $25. But no cases are fought more tenaciously by Hawaiians than those involving the ownership of a pig or a horse. The genealogy .of the animal is shown by a crowd of witnesses on each side, and only the court of last resort can settle the case. In the third trial it was found by a jury very competent to discuss the merits of a hog case, that he belonged to the plaintiff, but was worth only $20. Now our lawprovides that when on appeal the previous judgment is reduced as much as one-fifth, the costs are thrown upon the party recovering only four-fifths, the appellant being justified by this reduction in his favor. So the plaintiff who recovered $20 was compelled to pay the costs of the three trials, nearly §50. But the court could not help him. Don't despise the dull children. Love and pet them. A positive dummer may be very useful in a family, and is generally more comfortable to live with than a genius. THE FRIEND. MADRID VIEWS OF PONAPE AFFAIRS. The Rev. William H.

All the correspondents speak of Mr. Doane in terms of warmest praise. One writes: "Mr. Doane, the protestant pastor, was thoroughly friendly to the Spaniards, and from the day that they the subject of the late proceedings of the established themselves on the island his Spanish authorities in Ponape.

All the correspondents agree that the The captain of the Spanish transport natives felt very deeply the outrage comManila reported to the Colonial Minis- mitted on their friend and spiritual father. ter regarding the island of Ponape: "They went with him to the beach, as "The American Mission established he was carried away a prisoner, and here for some thirty years, whose direc- bade him good-bye with sobs and tears. tor is Mr. Doane, has brought the They committed no violence, however, natives up to a state of civilization. The schools, more than twenty in number, furnished in the American style, bring together on Sundays almost the entire population of the island, and also on other days a very considerable pfrt of it. The missionaries exercise great influence over the natives." Of the Governor who deported Mr. Doane, it is said by one correspondent, "While in Manila Senor Posadillo (may God receive him to glory) gave proofs that he was a gentleman of excellent parts, but also that he was given to infantile manias, to ideas not in harmony with common sense, and to certain extravagances of thought that made everybody feel that he was the last one that should have been appointed to so difficult and delicate a mission." The staunch Roman Catholic and monarchical hnparcial of Madrid says bitterly: "And this governor was accompanied by a set of Capuchin friarsmost admirable clod-hoppers of the Aragon hills, entirely in their element higgling over the scant produce of their sterile fields—who, on reaching Manila, forgot their spiritual mission, even neglecting the opportunity that offered to get some notions of the language of the people to whom they were sent. This is the way—these are the means by which Spain inaugurates her government in the territory, the taking possession of which had shaken all Europe." Padre LJavanera, provincial of Capuchin friars and member of the expedition, gave out in Manila that their "mission was to deprotestantist the Ponapeans, who were ruined (perdidos) by the doctrines of the Protestant mis- sionaries." Nothing so injured the Spanish authority as the determination to do everything that the Capuchin friars demanded, "and the putting the whole power of the government at the service of that religious intolerance that has ever been so harmful in its consequences to Spain." the venerable prisoner himself and the other American missionary, Mr. Rand, urging them to do nothing." While the warship San Qucntin was bearing Mr. Doane away to Manila, matters on the island were rapidly going from bad to worse. Let the Spanish correspondents of El Dia and El influential Catholic and Resumen, monarchical papers of Madrid, tell the story—nothing in it will then be set down to Protestant malice. I (W. H. G.) combine and condense the two narratives. " The Governor, Sr. Posadillo, was pushing forward work, not only on the roads but on the Government palace, and all by forced labor. He made the people come from all parts of the island, necessitating in some cases long and fatiguing journeys. Though blows and abuse were plenty, he gave them no pay, nor even any food, although these poor Indians gather their food only from day to day, and do not have stores of provisions from which to draw in time of need. " It is said that the Governor was fond of a good table, and as cultivation is backward and rich viands are scarce, he laid all parts of the island under contribution for his supplies. And though he ordered that the natives should be paid for what they brought, the one charged with this duty, it is said, kept the money for himself. It is also said that persons of the Spanish colony, not considering sufficient the maidens that had been provided for them, did not respect either the married women nor the young girls. It is equally said that in the name of the Governor, women were demanded even from the families of the tribal kings, but that they were not given up without protest on the part of these, and of the missionary (Mr. Rand), who explained to the authorities that this was contrary to the customs that had been taught the natives. " Matters were thus on the second of July, when the natives did not come to work as usual. An interpreter was sent to inquire why. The reply was given that it was a ' feast day' of theirs. The " The governor began by ordering "that the Protestant books should be seized whenever found in the hands of the natives—natives who knew how to read and write, and how to run the sewing Governor, on hearing this, allowed him- �THE FRIEND. 12 be carried away with rage, and squad of twenty-seven soldiers, with express orders to bring the Indians by force if they would not come voluntarily. The message was given, and the chiefs replied that that was one of their most important feast days, and that if they could be excused for that day they would go to work on the following day as usual. The officer replied self to sent a that he would not return without carrying out his orders. The chiefs of Enote and Kiti answered: 'If the governor is governor, we are the kings on this island, and to-day we will not work.' Upon this the officer ordered the troops to fire. The Carolines replied with a volley from their Winchester rifles, and in a short time only one of the soldiers remained. Some say that some of the soldiers went over to the natives. It is positively known that only one returned to give the alarm to the garrison. " The Governor immediately prepared for the defense. He at once sent the women, the papers of the colony, and the treasure off to the storeship, the Dona Maria dc Molina. One of the women was the wife of the captain of the ship. No attack was made on them, though the Indians could easily have cut them off had they chosen to do so. The Capuchin padres also took flight in this boat with the women. The official place of the ship's doctor was on board, but, knowing that wounded men needed his help, he hastened ashore, and was killed with others. " The captain of the ship sent the launch ashore manned by thirteen men, with a cannon. But, to a man, that forlorn hope fell before the accurate fire of the natives, and they captured both boat and cannon. "On the fourth day of the conflict, the sth of July, at 2 o'clock in the morning, Sr. Posadillo, seeing that further resistance was useless, made the attempt to reach the ship with his few remaining men. The darkness favored, but the high tide was against them. They wer« obliged to wade in the water a considerable distance before they could reach the boat that was waiting for them, whereas, at low tide, they could have run easily down to a short distance from where the ship lay at anchor. "The Carolinos, wide awake, saw the manoeuvre, and attacked the Spaniards, who were all killed. Posadillo defended himself bravely, but fell pierced by four balls. With his blood he atoned for the faults that he may have committed. "The killed are reported as: The Governor, a naval officer, the ship's doctor, and fifteen marines; two infantry officers, two lieutenants, three sergeants, and forty soldiers—sixty-five in all." With the death of the Governor hostilities ceased. Every soul ofthe Spanish colony was crowded upon the storeship, and there she lay for days within a stone's throw of the land, unmolested by the natives. The foreigners on shore—English and American—communicated freely with the ship. The sad news is given that the captain's wife, overcome by the excitement, became a raving maniac. Mr. Doane and his companions on the San Quentin had no suspicion of the tragedy until they made the harbor, and noticed the Spanish flag was flying The second only on the storeship. officer of the San Quentin was appointed Governor ad interim. He immediately issued a call to the islanders for their help in the arrest of two or three suspected " beach combers," and particularly of a half-breed Portuguese who had acted as one of the interpreters for the Governor, and was said to be at the bottom of much of the trouble, having systematically deceived Sr. Posadillo regarding orders given in his name to file natives. He was taken to Manila. All true lovers of justice will now wait in much suspense the development of events. National pride and excited feelings will naturally call for violent measures with those poor Carolinos, who surely have been more sinned against than sinning. One voice already cries : "As regards those Indians, it is highly necessary and politic that they should be made to see with what swiftness Spain conquers and punishes those who rise up against her authority." The Liberal, one of the ablest and largest papers, liberal but frankly Roman Catholic, says: "We do not understand why the government gives such unconditional support to the reverend Capuchin friars, who are continually causing conflicts in our colonies. It cannot be said that they really extend the knowledge of the love of Christ in those distant countries unknown to the Spaniards." "To the people of Ponape, Mr. Doane is their priest, their bishop, their pastor, their great saint (santon), their all. Without him they do nothing important, nor do they resolve anything without his advice. "Besides this, the Protestants pursue a very different system of propaganda from that of the Capuchins. They win hearts by kind treatment, by true love, open and frank persuasion, convincing of what is useful and necessary for man are their chief forces. They do not appeal to the lash, but to reason; they do not persuade by force, but by sound sense; they do not stimulate by brutal punishments, but by good example; they do not threaten'tortures and torments, but they console with love and tenderness. The result is, they are loved, revered —better than revered, respected. "On the other hand, the Capuchin fathers, relying on official help, try to impose themselves by force, and what they reap is bitterness and hate. This intolerant system was pursued by the unfortunate Posadillo, urged to it by the friars, and probably advised by the " [Februay, 1888. Governor-General Terreros to follow the same—and with the results that we now lament. Wm. H. Gulick. "Avenda dc la Libertad,4o San Sebas tian, Spain, November 8, 1887." The above extracts are of much value, not as being of especial accuracy as to fact, nor sound in opinion, but as disclosing to us how the events are understood in Spain to have taken place, and what views are current in Spain as to those events. We deprecate especially a hasty judgment as to the conduct of the poor Capuchin friars, about whose intentions and operations we really know very little. Most of the true history of Ponape affairs is yet to be made known. We do know that Sr. Posadillo made ruinous work with the Protestant schools and churches, and that in some cases force was employed in converting individuals, notably a Protestant paitoi formerly a Spanish subject from Guam. A MUCH NEEDED AND IMPORTANT K IWNORK OHALA. readers of The Friend are inThe terested in every good word and work relating to the coming kingdom of Christ in these islands. They will, therefore, be glad to learn something about a much needed and important work among and for the Chinese children of the Kohala district. There are between thirty and forty families represented in the Kaiopihi Church. A large proportion of them '.ive in the vicinity of Makapala. There are about fifty children growing up in these Christian families. There are also several heathen families in the district with more or less children. Mr. Aseu, so well known to many of the readers of The Friend, has long cherished the idea of starting a dayschool for the study of the Chinese language and Chinese Christian literature among these children, and hence when the new church building was completed at Makapala he gladly united in the movement to start a day school for the Chinese in the building. A Christian young man, who had been trained in the Basle Mission at Hongkong, was found well qualified and willing to teach the school for $240 per annum, or $20 per month; his name is Shu Ten Yong. Some of the leaders in the enterprise thought that a lady teacher should be employed for the girls, and that the boys and girls should be taught separ ately in the school. Mrs. Aseu offered to teach the girls'department for $120 per annum, or $10 per month. A public meeting was accordingly called early in September last to consider and discuss this question of start ing a school; it was well attended. Rev. A. Ostrom, of the Kohala foreign church, presided. The meeting was already in possession of the knowledge that it would cost over $360 per year to run such a school as they desired.

Accordingly, the school started on the last with nineteen 19th of September pupils—6 girls and 13 boys—and has been in operation three months. Mr. Clayton Ostrom and Sadie Ostrom, son and daughter of the pastor of the Kohala foreign church, generously offered to give instruction in English every afternoon without charge, and their offer was gladly accepted by the trustees, and thus English has been taught without increasing the expense. A public examination and exhibition was held in the Kaiopihi Church on Christmas Eve, December 24. The church was well filled, although the evening was very stormy. The exercises were almost entirely in Chinese; they consisted of prayer and an address by the preacher, Mr. Kong Yet Yin, and a catachetical exercise, conducted by a class in which one member of the class would ask a question, and the whole class would answer in concert, bringing out the history of the advent and incarnation. These exercises were interspersed with singing by the school, some of which was in English, and were concluded with an address by the pastor of the Kohala foreign church. It is the object of the trustees to make this school a Christian institution, free to all Chinese in the district, so that none may be excluded for lack of means. They have, therefore, adopted the voluntary principle for securing means for the support of the school. Christian parents acting on this principle are found to give liberally for such a cause, and their heathen neighbors are not slow to imitate their example. But there are not a sufficient number of such to make the school self-supporting. For the quarter just closed, the parents of the children paid into the treasury $33, the Hawaiian Board $30, and the Treasurer secured from friends in Kohala the remaining $27. If any of the readers of The Friend wish to lend a helping hand in this good work they can communicate with the Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, Rev. Alvin Ostrom, Kohala, "It is my sincere belief," says Sir Richard Burton, "that if the slave trade were revived, and Africa could get rid of powder and rum, Africa would be the gainer." Crantner'l pliant will, bowing under every blast of the tyrant, but always rising to its end, saved the better cause' for better days, which an inflexible Knox would have ruined. Christ is not concluded in Luther, for He was not concluded in Paul. But the main body of the waters of life will be conveyed over the world in the channel dug by the Saxon monk. The nineteenth century belief may be false, or it may be vague and shadowy and indistinct; but whatever its defects they cannot be cured by requiring either the'laity or the ministers to submit to a sixteenth century creed. Rev. James Johnson, native pastor at ■Lagos, West Africa, says:"The slave trade has been to Africa a great evil, but these evils of the rum trade are far worse. I would rather my countrymen were in slavery and being worked hard and kept away from the drink than that the drink should be let loose upon them." The alleged intolerance of the Massachusettes Colony has given rise to much sincere regret, and to no small amount of not very intelligent declamation. But things may be proper, and even requisite in an infant settlement, midway between a family and a state, which are needless, as well as unjust in a mature community. Why is it that perhaps a hundred in all hanged for witchcraft m New England weigh heavier than a hundred thousand burned in Germany for the same cause in the same century ? It is the world's testimony to the superior Christianity of New England, against which such barbarism was the weightier sin. Schleirmacher said: "Catholicism makes the relation of the believer to Christ depend upon his relation-to the church. Protestantism makes the relation of the believer to the church depend his relation to Christ." Says Dale, upon Hawaii, H. I. of Birmingham: "The direct access of the soul to God is the ultimate principle Sorrow and the saints are not married of Protestantism." so, Heaven will together; but were it A colored man applied to a gentleman mike a divorce. many young people they educated, or even talked about them. With them it was always the principle to work from within outwards, and not the reverse. They believed that if one could make a child perfectly truthful, disinterested and considerate towards all God's creatures, fine manners would be the inevitable and unconscious result. Herbert Spencer has been counted the Prince ofAgnostics. Yet, by John Fiske, his greatest disciple and expositor, we are taught solemnly to confess that "Beyond the veil of sense is the might: est, the most august, the most certain of all realities. It is the power of which man and the world are products; it is the ultimate cause from which Humanity has proceeded. It is a Being with whom in the deepest sense, the human soul owns kinship. The infinite and eternal Power that is manifested in every pulsa tion of the Universe is none other than the living God." The strange fact has long been known that the lines of fall and spring migration of birds between Africa and Europe cross the Mediterranean where it is widest. This has been explained bygeological investigations. Where these lines of bird travel occur, there were once chains of islands which long ago slowly subsided and sank beneath the sea. But where the birds crossed in old times, there they cross to-day. The memory of the birds of to-day is older than the formation of Southern Europe. Of all modern reformatory tendencies in the methods of education none is more significant than that which establishes a new method of classical study. Instead of spending the best and most impressible years of a student's life in mere grammatical drill, in the dry and empty process of learning all the possible forms and rules which grammarians have elaborated for the exhibition of their own subtlety and the pulverizing of the brains of their pupils, some modern scholars have awakened to the discovery that language is something more than grammar—the learning of which Dc Quincey calls the dry-rot of the human mind" that thought is something more than the raiment in which it is clothed, and that a youth's education consisteth not in the abundance of the rules and formulas which he possesseth.—H.

Forbes, - - - Editor. LETTERS FROM PONAPE. [Fran Rev. K. T. Doane, via Mania.] Ponape, Nov. 13, 18S7. O. FoRBBS. Rev. A. Dear Brother :—I must hastily drop you a line as to ourselves, our work, our island, the great war force that is upon us. Up to my arrival from Manila, September ist, you have all the facts. On the Bth of September the steam transport returned to Manila with the sad news of the killing of the Governor Seiior Posadillo, with some twenty other Spaniards. The vessel sailed, all filled with much feeling against our people, determined to revenge the said death. On October 31st, the said vessel returned, accompanied by two other transports, all bringing some 600 troops. In the meantime, the temporary Governor, Don Juan dc la Concha, had issued his proclamation and ultimatum. The main points The two rebellious kings, as they were called, were to present themselves, humbly begging for mercy; all property looted at the emeute July ist, 2nd, 3rd, etc.; all guns then taken, all runaway soldiers then with the natives to be returned by a certain date. If not, he should open fire on the island. We worked hard day and night, going here, there, everywhere, in sunshine and drenching rains, trying to lead the people to surrender up all. The chiefs came up to time, certain property was restored, also some dozen runaway soldiers. But he could not get all; some common natives refused, some delayed; the time was up, the guns were shotted and fired. But, I am happy to say, no one was killed, no property injured. Thirty shells were fired ; there was then a cessation till the arrival of the aforesaid vessels. The natives had been warned of their coming, the large force to be brought, the utter inutility of their arms—they would be slaughtered without mercy. But they were unyielding they had once been deceived; they feared to put confidence in fhe new authorities, so they held out. But by much prayer—all the churches were asked to make this a subject of prayer —and by much visiting the chiefs, and much preaching, talking, persuading, on the day of the expiration of the ultimatum, November seventh, I think, we secured the meeting of four of the kings. That brought light; then a day of grace was added; the fifth was led to give in his allegiance. Another day of grace was given; we secured three men accused of killing the Governor. Since then some guns and all the runaway soldiers have been secured, with some were: — other things; and now peace reigns— no war, no devastating homes, shooting natives. The soldiers and officers, I hear, are not a little disappointed; they want war—we, peace. The Lord has given us our desires; to Him be all the praise ; we feel all the time like being a walking Methodist, shouting Amen! Hallelujah! Lavs Deo! I have much to make me feel the peace is permanent. Then the Governor has permitted all schools to be opened—all preaching to be carried on—all the freedom we need in our work. Ma}' it always be so. He is a kind man. I have time for this short, hast}' note. I shall write by the Yours truly, Star. E. T. Doane. Captain Garland, of the Morning Star, writes from Ponape via Manila under date of November 18th: "The missionaries thought it best for the Star to come to Ponape before doing the Marshall Island work, as perhaps she would be needed. We reached here to-day, seven days from Kusaie. We find things quiet. The troubles with the natives are settled, we hope. The new Governor is liked by all, and our hopes are beginning to rise. When I was here in August it looked rather dark for Ponape. We had a good voyage through the Gilbert Islands, and used up 71 days over it. I think this is the calmest season I have seen in Micronesia. Everything is working well thus far, and the missionaries are all in usual h%alth." Rev. T. E. Rand writes, November 18th, per U. S. S. Essex, via Yokohama: "All is settled, and the Governor promises us religious liberty and freedom to pursue our work everywhere in the Carolines. We, as a mission, shall ask for the Star to go to Yap next year." Mr. Doane writes to Dr. Hyde that the mission premises were employed as neutral ground—as a place for conference between the Spanish authorities and the natives. Out of what workshops come there any such moral forces to-day as come out of these Churches of Christ among us ? Blot these churches out of existence to-day; rrtake every pulpit dumb; silence every prayer-meeting; lock every sanctuary door; abolish every family altar; and where would you generate the forces that can stay intemperance, lewdness, superstition, anarchy, and vermicular and political corruption. Eighty-five years ago the Directors of the East India Company placed on solemn record: "The sending of Christian missionaries into our Eastern possessions is the maddest, most expensive, most unwarranted project that was ever 15 Volume 46, No. 2.] proposed by a lunatic enthusiast." A few months since, Sir Rivers Thompson, Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal, said: missionaries " In myjudgment,realChristian have done more and lasting good to the people of India than all other agen cies combined." It is now clear that there is no evil thing among us that the drink habit does not exaggerate, and no good thing that it does not antagonize. The saloon which fosters the drink habit is a stand ing menace to our civilization. The saloon business is itself a sort of anarchy. It does not respect laws; it cares only for money; it breaks even law of God or man that interferes with its evil gains. The one right thing to do with a rattlesnake is to kill him. The liquor men say "Prohibition does not prohibit." This means two things: First, they intend to break the law as jiuch and as often as they can. Second, that the people, after enacting prohibitory laws, neglect to enforce them. All this is not an argument against prohibition. It is an argument against a business that hates and defies law. It is the transforming power of a regnant, personal, indwelling Christ which must make the unity of the Church of Christ. "One in Christ Jesus." We have tried to make our Church one in hierarchy and priesthood ; we have tried to make it one by repressing here and exscinding there those who disagreed with central authorities, so becoming ourselves the biggest schismatics or exscinders of all. It has never succeeded. And then we have tried to hit upon a common creed ; we have thought if we could only get our creed small enough and short enough, then we could all be one in doctrine and creed; but men continue to differ. No ! The united Church of Christ cannot be wrought by a hierarchy, nor by a creed ; it is to be wrought by Life. When we begin to speak of orders and creeds, we divide; but when we come into the realm of heart-experience in Christ we are one in personal experience—one in Christ Jesus. Paul puts the order of unity thus: "One Lord, one faith, one baptism." In C. W. King's "The Gnostics and their Remains," we find set in order the ideas of the ancient Gnostics, "not with a view so much to their so-called philoso- phy as to their ancient remains. Here we see Abraxas gods, Gnostic gorgons, Isis and Horus, Agathodaemous, and Abraxaster sigils, two-tailed serpents, ass-headed typhous, grasshoppers, tortoises, and baboons, triune heads and triangles, and all the other nonsense and gibberish which the craziest brains have cut on cones and disks and scaraboids, and called them Christian art. Here is richness and wisdom for Boston Buddhists quite out-plummeting the deepest sinker of Madame Blavatsky's Mahatma theosophy. �[February, 1888. THE FRIEND. 16 T. M. C. A. THEHONOLULU, H. I.

A. boys were pleased to have their old friend, Mr. T. H. Davies, present to conduct their meetings for the last two months. The next meeting will be on Thursday, February 2d, at 2:30 p. m. A full attendance is required. We have gathered the nucleus for an interesting young men's Bible class. Accessions will be cordially welcomed, if from among the many young men not connected with some Sunday school, Y. M. C. A. parlor, 9:45 every Sabbath morning. Come. Through the kindness of Mr. T. H. Davies, British Vice-Consul, and the many friends who cheerfully lent their aid, a most delightful entertainment was given to the crew of H. B. M. S. Caroline en Friday evening, January 27th. The hall was well filled, admission being by ticket, to prevent a crowd. The first part of the programme was given by members and friends of the Association. The second part was by the crew of the Caroline, except the first recitation, which was admirably rendered by the Captain, Sir William Wiseman. The entertainment was a grand success closing, as usual, with a bountiful supply of ice cream and cake. The Blue Ribbon Entertainment continues to attract a goodly gathering every Saturday evening. While the number of new names added to the roll is not so large as we wish it was, yet it is encouraging to see some who having tried and fallen, have tried again and are now standing manfully by this pledge. Oh! that all who pledge to man would add the seal of personal consecration to Christ. Mr. T. H. Davies, assisted by his nephew, C. F. Jackson, have held six very interesting services, for children, in our hall on Sunday afternoons. Another will be held next Sunday at 3 p. m., conducted by Mr. Jackson. TOPICS. MONTHLY MEETING. The monthly meeting was held on Thursday evening, January 16th, President Lowrey in the chair. The usual reports were presented showing progress in the work. The larger part of the evening was spent in hearing reports from the branch work at Queen Emma Hall, and discussing the ways and means for carrying forward the important lines of Christian ejfort already started among the Hawaiians and Japanese at that place. Needed funds were generously pledged on the spot, and support assured so long as the present good results could be realized. Since that evening some liberal contributions have been received from those not connected with our Association but who believe in the work that is being done. The treasurer, Mr. E. O. White, will be glad to receive the substantial endorsement of any others. TEMPERANCE WORK IN HAMAKUA. 11. Dec. 6th. —President Judd came from Waimea, and spoke in the church at Kukuihaele in the evening to a good audience. On the eighth of December he was at Paauhau speaking to many people. There was an abundance of ferns and flowers tastefully arranged by the natives. Thirty-two signed the pledge. A generous Christmas gift was collected for Miss Green. After the exercises a bountiful feast was provided at the residence of R. A. Lyman. Both Mr. and Mrs. Lyman are'active workers in the temperance cause. Mr. Lyman has sang many times at meetings, with Mr. Goodell. Music has been a great feature of the temperance work. Dec, nth.—Some twelve or more rode out to Kapolena Church and held a Blue Ribbon meeting. Remarks were made in English and Hawaiian, after which fourteen signed the pledge. The little organ was carried over on a horse's back and, with its aid, the singing by the League was inspiring. Dec. /<?///.-—A Blue Ribbon at Kukuihaele Church. Several signed, and a Christmas gift for Miss Green was collected. Dec. 2jth. —Found me speaking in the native church at Paauhau, assisted by Mr. Lyman, and by his organ in. the musical part of the service. Here also in the hall a greater interest is felt in church Gospel Praise Service every Sunday evening at 6:30. Good singing, brief talks, everybody welcome. The topics for the month are as follows: February 5th —Joyful Service Required. Ps. 100; Phil. 4:4. February 12th—Grinding in the Prison House. Judges 17, 15:21. February 19th—How the Christian Race may be run Successfully. Cor. 9, matters. Det. fftt.— The Blue Ribbons of this town held a meeting, and remarks were made by Judge Miau, William Horner, J. K. Kaunamano, Mr. Kaaekuahiwi and others, interspersed with music. Six signed the pledge. All then retired to a feast prepared by the members of the League. At the table, a hymn was sang, "Guide and bless us," followed 24:27. Heb. 12, 1:2. February 26th—Who are the Heroes? by prayer. The natives had tastefully Prov. 16, 32. Rev. 7, 13:17. trimmed the room with ferns and flowers, while streamers of blue ribbon depended from nearly every point. Several mottos in red, blue and green were on the walls. Thus pleasantly closed the Old Year in Kukuihaele. A Blue Ribbon and a feast was also held at Kaala January 2, 1888. Jan. r, ISBS.—The first Sabbath of the year opened with a large attendance at church, and the largest in several years. There was tenderness of feeling shown when all arose and sang "What a friend we have," &c. Then, as with bowed heads all repeated those words so solemn when reverently spoken by a Hawaiian, "E ko Hiakou Makua iloko 0 ka laui," we seemed nearer Heaven than earth. The attendance at the Y. M. C. A. was also large—the greatest since its organization. Here the reserve of men was broken, and amid tears and sobs promises were made of a better life in the coming days. The friends of Temperance were greatly cheered in December by knowing that the Blue Ribbon had conquered the "father of the liquor law." He has signed the pledge and now wears the Blue Ribbon. God grant him strength to ketp his vow. Prayers will go up that he may be truly faithful. "With our Hlue Ribbon we're marching, Singing as we onward go: In the strength of Heaven we're trusting. And will conquer every foe.'' The man who was arrestee! and lined appealed, and-his case was tried again at Waimea. There, through a combination of his friends (presumably opposed to Temperance) and influences too mysterious to be written about here, he was acquitted. This result has caused a wide-spread feeling of indignation. On January ist, for the first time in six weeks, drunkenness was seen on the street and noise heard at night. For all that, times are greatly changed for the better in this town. Men and women are seldom seen intoxicated. The Japanese and Portuguese are falling into line, and "Temperance goes marching on." We are having peaceful days, and peaceful nights, too. The religious interest is well sustained, and the natives seem to enjoy the changed state of feeling among themselves. Although Paauhau is without a pastor, there seems to be a growing interest among the church people. R. A. Lyman and wife are active workers, and are, with Mr. and Mrs. Homer at Kukaiau, strong friends of the Temperance • movement. Other meetings are to be held in the Thus the work goes on, and always to the advantage of lives and property of men. We do not want the old times back again. The better times—the "good time coming"—is already casting its mantle of blessing upon us. May the grace of God ever lead on the work of Temperance to glorious victory. Isaac Goodell. Kukuihaele, Hawaii, Jan. 10, 1888. district—one at Waipio. �THE FRIEND. REASONS FOR TEMPERANCE EFFORTS. (Extracts from Discourse of Rtv. E. G. Ueckwith, D.D., Sunday, January 8, i838.) First: Because the evil which it seeks to hinder is so gigantic. Men show what stuff they are made of by the causes which they espouse. Little souls occupy themselves with little things, and stay small for want of room to grow in. In China they grow forest-trees in flower-pots ; cedars and oaks and elms, complete in form, and venerable with age, but dwarfed to the compass of a painted potter's vase. There are men who grow just like that. They get their lives rooted into such little things, and through all their years keep pruning themselves down to this flower-pot narrowness. Now a man has no right to do that, with such chances for growth as God has given us, and such need for growth as God has put upon us. It is a guilty perversion of gifts if we do not aim at the completest possession of manhood, as God gives us a chance of manhood. It is a wicked waste of energies if we do not bless the world with the best work we can do in it. And so it is the great interests into which we ought to let our lives grow. Now this work of Temperance Reform is such an interest. It is vast; it is exigent. There is no other that transcends it, either in the imminence of the peril it seeks to avert, or in the bitterness of the woe it wants to assuage, or in the guilt of the sin it hopes to hinder, or in the reach of the ruin it is trying to stay. It is humane work; it is sacred work to be done for Christ and humanity. There is no nobler cause to work in under the whole circuit of the sun—none that will bring us into a closer sympathy with men, or into a truer fellowship with God. And I counsel you, my people— every one of you—to have some good share in it, and to have it now. This virtue of temperance will not be in disrepute always. It will be seen to be very beautiful by-and-by. The want of it will be seen to be a vice to be abhorred. That gigantic wrong will have the intelligence and the moral sense, and the consuming scorn of the people against it by-and-by. But I pray you do not wait to be swept in by this rising tide of public sentiment. Come in now, for now it needs you, as it will not need you then. Come in as men quick to discern duty, and loyal to the right when it costs something to be loyal. BOOK NOTICES. while we strive about the ways and means. So let there be no strife. It "Tributes of Hawaiiau Verse. Sedoes not matter so much about the cond Series. Published by Thomas G. way if only it will save men. Thrum, Honolulu, 1887." A graceful I think often of the sailor passenger William Hoys, at the wreck of the little collection of seventeen pieces, by steamer Atlantic among the Nova Scotia eleven different writers, and with local* rocks, how he lay down upon the rock, coloring. Hawaii's broad mountain whose top he had gained by the hardest domes and far blue seas ought to be instruggle, and seized his fellow-voyagers spiring. Here is a scarlet fancy of as the wild waves flung them up, some Stoddard's: by their upraised arms, some by their Sun in the west, he " Sorrowful garments, some by their streaming hair, Is bleeding to death in the wave, and when his chilled and tired hands Staining and tinting with crimson would no longer hold them, threw himself further over the slippery edge and caught them with his teeth, and drew them up "that perilous way to the safety above." More than a hundred men he so drew out of the wild waters, not according to any very proper and perfected plan of rescuing shipwrecked men. It was not a time to stand very stoutly upon the proprieties. It was a time to lay hold of men and lift them out in any way they could. And with two hundred thousand men dying of the drink every year, let us not wait till we are quite sure that we have got just the most perfect appliances. Let us get hold of them somehow, all of us. They are sinking too fast and too fatally. Any way that will save men. Still further, it is the country's wealth we are trying to save. The cost of this curse of the drink is a sum too vast to be comprehended. There is no other such gigantic waste of wealth. We mourn over our languishing industries, and wonder why the wheels of our toil and traffic must so long turn so slow. It is for the want of these millions upon millions of annually wasted wealth to set them agoing. There is no other cause that has half so much to do with it. How can our industries speed on swiftly when weighed down with such a vast and wasteful burden of vice and crime. That monster steamship the Great Eastern has been getting to be a very slow sailer of late. With all the power of her ponderous engines, they have scarcely been able to drive her with any decent speed. And why ? Because she is burdened and befouled with barnacles. Six inches thick they found them, all over her huge hulk below the water-line. Three hundred tons of them she has had to drag with her through the waters. Now that is what ails society. It is barnacled with vice and crime so foul and so heavy that our utmost moral force can scarcely drive it forward. We must have the barnacles off, or we shall go slowing down into a more fatal stagnation. And it is your money and mine that is being wasted. It is your burdens and mine that are being made heavier. It is your industry and mine that is being deranged and hindered. Poorer every one of us is for this wicked waste. Then let us all get hold and help fling And let us not stand too stoutly upon It is our the order of our coming. brother-men who need saving. Two hundred thousand go scourged to the grave every year by the demon of drink, off the burdens. The corals that fashion his grave." - Hawaiian • Dictionary, for use of Hawaiian-English prepared the " All English Schools, by H. R. Hitchcock. Bancroft & Co., San Francisco, 1887." This book has been wanted for a long time. Mr. Hitchcock has done his work faith- fully and well. The Board of Education, at whose expense it is published, are also to be praised. Sixteen thousand English words receive brief, compact definitions in Hawaiian. More than three thousand English synonyms further aid the Hawaiian pupil. There are several valuable tables. A full chronological table of Hawaiian history is appended. Not only to Hawaiian learners of English, but especially to those learning to speak and write Hawaiian, will this Dictionary be indis pensable. The volume is small and neat, the ideal of a handy manual. The typography is excellent. We are assured by competent authority that the errata are very few. The demand for this desirable book must be very large, both from Hawaiians and whites. We congratulate Mr. Hitchcock on his excellent New Year's present to Hawaii. Vestiges of the Molten Globe. Part 11. The Earth's Surface Features and Volcanic Phenomena. By Wm. Lowthian Green. Gazette Publishing Company, Honolulu, 1887; pp. X., 337." Mr. Green's long-promised book merits an enthusiastic welcome. As stated in our August issue, the Theory of his Part I. has found a wide adoption in Europe. A leading feature of Part 11., which will be of the deepest interest to residents of this group, is the thorough and effective discussion of Hawaiian volcanoes, about which no one can hereafter claim to be well-informed who has not studied this book, as well as the forthcoming one of Professor Dana. Mr." Green's Theory of the Cause of the Distribution of Volcanoes on the lines pointed out by Guyot is a profound and impressive one, and, we hope, will make its way as successfully as his theory of "Tetrahedral Collapse" has done. Many portions of this book are truly fascinating. We propose in our March issue to attempt some analysis of its contents, for which we lack space in the present number. " �THE FRIEND. (M. T D.

Tm: leading event of local interest for the month has been the decision given by the Supreme Court upon the question of the independent right of the King to exercise the veto power, without the " advice and consent of the "Cabinet." This right was denied by the Legislature, and several bills vetoed by the King contrary to the advice of the Cabinet, were promulgated as laws. Resistance was made to the enforcement of one such law; on appeal to the Supreme Court, four Justices united in a decision that the King's veto was a valid one, and the vetoed bill no law. Justice Dole rendered a dissenting opinion. This decision of the Court is doubtless final in the matter. It has, however, been received by the public with extreme dissatisfaction, and we think it correct to say that the weight of legal opinion in Honolulu, by a large preponderance, is adverse to that of the Bench. The positions advanced by Mr. Dole have been much applauded, and those of the majority of the Court severely criticised in private, as well as in the dailypapers. It is noticeable that the rejoinders in support of the decision have been few, and thus far feeble, being confined mainly to assertion of the finality thereof.

If so, it will only be the means of creating a mischievous and useless discord between himself and the Legislature which, like the British Parliament, is now the actual if not the nominal depositary of the supreme power. In any such contest, the utter weakness of the King will be speedily exposed. We do not at all expect that he will make any attempt of ihe kind. He is tired of the hopeless contention, and we think is sure to yield to sound advisers. In any case, there is nothing of which we may all be more thoroughly assured than this, that such is the public virtue. the enlightenment, the intelligent leadership, the patriotic will, which by the Divine goodness exist and prevail in our Islands, that the cause of liberal, responsible and honest government will -;o forward and prosper, despite all adverse influences. DR.MEREDITH ON DENOMINATIONALISM. Dr. R. R. Meredith of Brooklyn began his address to the Congregational Club by saying, that the fact that churchmen of every denomination were able to find in the New Testament that their own form of church government was the Scriptural and divinely appointed one was, to him, conclusive evidence that the New Testament contained no formula of church organization, unless it were that of Episco-presby-gationism. He firmlybelieved that God had left the whole matter of church government to the sanctified common sense of men, and that that was the divinest form of church government which was best adapted to the community in which it worked. After this very liberal introduction, Dr. Meredith went on to say that different forms of church government were best adapted to work among different classes in the community, and that he believed that Christ's church, because of its denominational lines and divisions, was a grander and stronger body for carrying on the work of evangelizing the world. He believed that there were often too many denominations in frontier towns; he believed that city churches should co-operate in some of their work, but after all, he thought that uniformity and organic unity were not desirable because not natural. The high ideal of church unity was an impracticable dream. The church must adapt itself to human nature, and this it does through denominationalism. He concluded by saying that Congregationalists more than any others needed to cultivate tiently wait for time to soften prejudices the denominational spirit. and for the ever-patient Spirit of the Lord to lead us all into purer Light. In the face of the loud and frequent And our sister church in her mistaken if assertion of the wickedness of denomizeal for the Lord, exscinds us and denies nationalism, we hardly dare to declare us in Him, let us not therefore any part an approval in full of Dr. Meredith's also the schismatic spirit, and indulge position, in holding that it is better that the Church of Christ should continue to pronounce her cut off from Christ. The be divided into separate branches and dear Lord has borne with his blinded denominations. Yet we will say that and erring disciples through the Ages, this is about what we long have felt in a long and dark—and how much He still large measure to be true.

It is given to some to develop doctrine; to others, to search out the meaning of the Scriptures; to others to reach out more to the suffering, ignorant and poor. To some, it is given to conserve the fruits of the past; to others, to progress to newer conquests of truth for the future. The prepossessions and ineradicable prejudices of men especially need provision for their accommodation by means of varied forms of church government and ritual adapted thereto. Because I like voluntary speech best in public prayer, am I therefore to object to my neighbor's enjoyment of the liturgies and litanies which are sweet and beautiful to his spirit ? Though I enjoy order and decorousness in public worship, may not my brother be free to have a church where he may shout amen? If I demand that no priest intervene between me and my Father and Savior, am I yet to deny to my brother (whom I think mistaken) his privilege of the sacerdotal intercession and absolution? If I think that I find my Lord more as He would have me do, shall I deny that my Catholic brother is also accepted of the Lord, and shall be permitted to seek Him in the only way he has learned to follow? What seems to us the chief element of Christian Unity to be earnestly sought after, and by all means, is a cordial recognition by the different denominations of each other's valid church existence and Christian character, and a hearty and affectionate fellowship with each other in all spiritual and benevolent work for men. It is of course too much to expect this in the near future, in view of the deep and fixed prejudices existing, ass to the fundamental nature of points of doctrine and of order on which the \arious churches differ. We must pa- EXPULSION OF ANOTHER MISSIONARY. The Rev. J. Jones has been for 34 years the agent of the London Missionary Society at Mare, one of the Loyalty Islands, which are under the French Government of New Caledonia. A gunboat was sent, and Mr. Jones was taken from his desk while translating the Scriptures, and without notice or opportunity to arrange his multifarious affairs, hurried on board, and landed at the capital Noumea the next day, December 10th. He immediately proceeded to Sydney, where he filed protests and claims for losses at £2,000. It seems that the French had sometime agb located at Maro two Roman priests and one French Protestant pastor. The native Protestants refused to submit to the French pastor's jurisdiction, Mr. Jones having been officially notified that he was no longer at the head of the church at Mare). He continued, however, to labor privately, dispensing medicine, and translating the Scriptures, and doing nothing to disaffect the natives towards the French authorities. " Englishmen will hardly comprehend the spirit of bitterness and opposition to Protestant missions existing in the hearts of many Frenchmen. Connected with this animosity, there now rankle in the minds of some at Noumea, the disappointment and vexation of being deprived of the New Hebrides." We derive the above from the Australia;: Independent of Jan. 15. It is due to Frenchmen to say that their officials have dealt very kindly with our Hawaiian Protestant missionaries in the Marquesas, where there was no political complication to affect their relations. If the widow's two mites had been put on compound interest, and if she had lived to the present day she would have been a millionaire on earth. But her money has been, if we may so speak, on compound interest ever since, and she is now a millionaire in Heaven. The religions of the world have been religions of fear; but Christ says to his disciples: "Fear not; it is I." Whatsoever we beg of God, let us also work for it. �Volume 46, No. 3.] THE FRIEND. 19 Righteousness as to receive large sup- members of Evangelical Churches of plies of His light and warmth you will America as yet give absolutely nothing At the Installation of Rev.

Chapter IV., "Volcanic Matter. What is it ?" shows that volcanic matter is identical with the universal cosmical matter, as it appears in meteorites, the sun, stars and comets (an ultra-basic lava) more or less modified by water and the earth's atmosphere. The most primitive form of the interior magma, such as wells up so copiously at Mauna Loa, is substantially the same as the stony portion of meteorites, which Norman Lockyer has just proved to be the raw material of all solar systems. This raw material, however, as Mr. Green shows, has in the earth's crust undergone a long series of changes. By a system of mineral evolution, it has passed from the forms of anhydrous, unstable and basic minerals such as our Hawaiian lavas, to the hydrous, stable and silicated forms found in granite, gneiss, serpentine, etc., minerals almost unknown here. The lesson taught in this regard by Hawaiian volcanoes is, that the ultra-basic and basaltic lavas, and volcanoes, have no necessary connection with water, whilst the trachytic eruptions in continental volcanoes are necessarily due to the long continued action of internal waters transforming the lavas from basic to Among the points made by the author acidic. This doctrine of Mr. Green's is in the eleven sections of this chapter are an exceedingly important one, and is to be especially noted the following: The enormous outpours of basalt in presented in a very interesting form.

This cumulus was blazing with electrical discharges. At its base was visible a broad stratum of smoke, highly illuminated from below. The position of this cumulus was not on Mauna Loa, but over the point of eruption at Kahuku, thirty miles from the summit, and 150 miles from the observer. The source of this immense column of aqueous vapor is believed to have been not steam from below, but from the inrush of vapor-laden air from the ocean, drawn in by the tremendous heat of several square miles of incandescent lava surface. The lava was not shot into the air in explosive columns by any steam, but welled up from the earth in rounded fountains. Both the scientific world and the Hawaiian public are to be congratulated that so experienced and able an interpreter as Mr. W. L. Green has been found for the giant and truly typical volcanoes of Hawaii. By means of exceptional opportunities for volcanic study, by wide and deep scientific culture, and by rare philosophic insight, our author, we feel thoroughly assured, has done his adopted country the honor of contributing an important and permanent addition to the world's knowledge of the internal forces and structure of the Earth.

"Probation—your chance of eternal life—ends, I do not know where or when. God knows. You may have lost your chance already. There is a sin which is unto death—that hath never forgiveness. A man is forever lost when God looks upon him and saysincurable. T. K. Beeeher." Be reminded that the personal spirit of the Eternal actually dwells in you. You have not to appeal with passionate outcries to God to send the Spirit— the — 21 Spirit has come as truly as Christ has come. Consider what knowledge you may have concerning God and things divine since the Spirit dwells in you; what power for Christian righteousness since the Spirit dwells in you; what passion of devotion to God since the Spirit dwells in you; what victories of faith, what hopes of glory, since the Spirit dwells in you. Unable to distinguish one tune from another, to Whittier, music is an unknown language—and yet what melodies his heart has sunt;! The poet discerns "in all familiar things the fancies underlying," and sings of the huskers and shoemakers, the barefoot boy, the telling of the bees, the pumpkin, and the commonest things of life. He absorbs the stories rife in his boyhood, of Quaker, witch and Indian, as the plant drinks the sunshine and dew. He is intensely American, and whatever touches his brother, black or white, he feels. His war poems have the stateliest rhythmic march and a rush of passion carrying all before it, for every drum-beat vibrated in his heart. "The Catholic Church," writes one of the most thoughtful orthodox men of Boston, "is to be let alone. Like the Jewish Temple after the resurrection of our Lord, it is allowed to stand for a while after its main work has been done, until the transfer can be made from it to evangelical Christianity. If the people are allowed to lose confidence in their Church before they get confidence in the Church of the future, they will go to in* fidelity and atheism. There must be a transition period between the old and the new, during which that which is to be done away nevertheless remains, and has its temporary office. The twentieth century will dispose of the Papacy, and then the crossing-over will begin. I rejoice in the responsiveness of the Papal Church in this country to the light of purer doctrine, and the general radiance of the nineteenth century." Are you gaining in steadiness? Many a Christian life, if such it can be called, is little more than a series of spasms. Wonderful purposes are formed, and wonderful courage ts felt, but there is no "holding on." Purposes dissipate; courage fails; plans are given up; and effort wholly or partially ceases. W/»at resolutions and pledges characterized the beginning of say this year. The Bible was to be read daily. Secret prayer was to be the habit of the life. Scores of blessed things were to be done. Have they been done? What ups and downs we have along the years! What crooked paths we make! How hard we find it to hold straight on! Cold conquers us. Heat conquers us. Passion conquers us. We tire, turn aside, compromise, haul down our flag, surrender. It is a wonderful thing to grow steady and unfaltering in our faith and zeal. Are we gaining on this line? �22 THE FRIEND. MONTHLY RECORD OF EVENTS. —Hop of Co. A., Honolulu Rifles, at their Armory.

LETTER FROM NEW HEBRIDES. Df.ar Dk. Hyde:—Now that we are again settled in a home of our own, I will write you somewhat about our doings and going* since we left your hospitable roof. Our voyage to Sydney was speedy and pleasant, the weather continuing fine most all the way. Nothing of note transpired on the passage. A warm welcome awaited us in Sydney, and three weeks appeared to pass very quickly there. On the 2nd April we sailed on our mission vessel Dayspring for this group. We visited all the stations occupied by missionaries, and were pleased and cheered to hear of progress all along the line. Our annual missionary conference was held in May on the island of Ambrim. We were very sorry to find that Mr. Murray, our missionary on that island, was insane. Fever, combined with undue depression on account ofhis wife's sudden death a year ago, had proved too much for his mind. I am glad to be able to say that, since he left the island, he has almost wholly- regained his reason. However, he is lost to our mission. This season there were three new missionaries to settle besides ourselves. In order to accomplish this work, and give us all comfortable houses, a vessel was chartered in Sydney to bring down building material and goods that our Dayspring could not fetch. The Cairndliu (the chartered vessel) was appointed to settle one of the new brethren and us in the north of the group, while the Dayspring took the other two young brethren to Mollicolla. We settled Mr. Landels on Malo, or as called in the charts St. Bartholomew's Island; and, on leaving there on the 17th of June, our vessel ran ashore and became a total wreck. All our stores and effects were saved, but in a damaged condition. The vessel filled inside of ten hours after she struck, and a number of our cases were under water for a day or tw.o. After three weeks of tent-life on Malo among the savages, the Dayspring came to our rescue. One of our boats went a three days' voyage hunting her up. From Malo we came'over here some eight or nine miles and located on this south side of the large island of Espiritu Santo. We have our home on a little isle lying close to the main land, and forming a good harbor for ships. There is quite a large village on this islet, the people thereof cultivate on the mainland. It is, so far as we can yet judge, a comparatively healthy place. We have been here now about two and a half months, and like the place and people very well. It is a wholly untried field, no teacher or missionary ever having even landed here before us. The people are quite friendly. Some of them have been away with white men for three years or so, and consequently have a little knowledge of English. There are no less than four different dialects spoken on the south side of Santo. However, we hope to get along by acquiring one of them. The language of this village is spoken in ten others, and is more or less understood by many more. I have received some benefit from Dr. Codrington'a book that you were so very kind as to give me, and I hope to gather some information from it that will help me in this tongue. The language of Mota, of which he gives such a full account, is much more closely allied to this than the Aneitvumese is. We have a beautiful situation and a comfortable home. Our hope is that the Lord may use us here for His gloryin bringing in many of these degraded cannibals. Our postal advantages are not very good here. We have not heard a word from home since we saw you, but we expect our vessel back again either this month or early in the following. The French have not made their appearance in Santo yet, and we knownothing about their proceedings elsewhere, excepting that two small militaryposts are still maintained in the group— one on Efatc and one on Mollicolla. There are five or six priests in the group, but as yet they have not made their influence felt. There is said to be one stationed on the northeast of this island, but as that is 70 or 80 miles away from us, we never hear of him at all. I am, dear Dr. Hyde, yours faithfully, Joseph Annand. Tangoa, Santo, Oct. 7, 18K7. OUR JAPANESE MISSIONARY. We have recently had the pleasure of welcoming to our shores anew Christian worker who has already, with much energy and enthusiasm, entered upon his duties. This is Mr. T. Shimidzu (a licensed exhorter of the Methodist Church), who has accepted the invitation of the Hawaiian Board of Missions to labor among the Japanese residing in Honolulu and the country districts. He is connected with the Japanese Methodist Church of San Francisco, and brings most cordial letters of recommendation from both Rev. Mr. Harris, Superintendent, anjl Rev. Mr. Mujama, Assistant Superintendent of the Mission to the Japanese in that city. The interest and enthusiasm manifested by these gentlemen and the Japanese connected with their work in San Francisco in the Christianization of the Japanese on these Islands has been very marked, and we have every reason to feel most grateful to them for their earnest efforts. It is a beautiful witness to the missionary spirit of the religion of Jesus Christ. Mr. Harris writes as follows: "The Japanese Christians here have been thinking and praying over the matter for nearly two years, resulting in a deep conviction of duty, which finally took shape in raising money to send Mr. Mujama to the Islands last Autumn. After his return they organized a local missionary society for the purpose of aiding the Christianization of the Japanese on the Hawaiian Islands and on the Pacific Coast. Since Brother Mujama's return these poor students have raised over $60 to aid in the blessed work. Brother T. Shimidzu, who goes out by this steamer and the bearer of this letter is sent by this Society. One young man who works for his living, a school boy, gave ten dollars at one time for this ob- ject." Mr. Shimid/u is now about twentyfive years old. He was born in the northern part of Japan and came when quite young to reside in Tokio. Later he entered the Naval Technical College of that city as a student, and after a course of study covering some five years graduated from this institution. A long and serious illness compelled him to desist from further studies in Japan, and ultimately led to important changes in his life. He was advised to visit the United • States, and there study ship-building. About two years ago he landed in .San Francisco. Through the earnest efforts of our friend, Rev. Mr. Mujama, he was brought under the beneficial influences of the Methodist Mission and in time became an earnest and devoted Christian. He has resided in San Francisco, supporting himself by the work of his hands and engaging as opportunity offered in earnest Christian work. When the call came from our Islands, he felt moved to accept it and we feel sure he has not come in vain. Most heartily has he been welcomed by his countrymen and is rapidly winning their confidence and esteem. We would ask for him and his important work a large interest in the prayers of all Christians. The outlook for missionary effort among the Japanese is most encouraging. It is possible that Rev. and Mrs. Mujama may come to our Islands for a visit ere long. Their coming will be hailed with delight by many. May God's richest blessing rest on the work here and also abide with the dear brethren in San Francisco, who have so generously aided F. W. D. in its happy initiation. In the Pacific, in a letter from Captain Garland, we find the following items about Ponape, not before received here: "The foreigners who had so much to do with affairs are now taking a back seat. Kehoe and Tim Curry are prisoners in the hulk. Old Christian is carried off to Manila, probably never to return. Skillings is at Mokil with his family. "Miss Ingersoll is in her new house; it is where Mr. Rand's tool house used to be. The Lof the girls' school is raised." �THE FRIEND. 24 T. M. C. A. THEHONOLULU, H. I.

Relative Number of Christians.— The number of Christians has increased century by century until now they far outnumber the adherents of any other faith. The ordinary statistics, by which Buddhists are made to outnumberChristians, are totally misleading. The difference between Quakerism and the Church of Rome is trifling as compared with the difference between sects who are all classed together as Buddhists, but who have almost nothing in common except the name and a few merely outward and material resemblances. To call all Mohammedans Christians would be very much more reasonable than to consider as adherents of one religion all who call themselves Buddhists. As this is not all, for in China, which contains most of the adherents of Buddhism, this is only one belief among many, and the same man is often Buddhist, Taouist, Confucianist, and ancestor-worshipper all in one. Taking Christians and Mohammedans together, it is probable that there are from five to six hundred millions of people who believe in one God, Creator, and Governor of the world, who has icvealed himself in Jesus Christ, while it is extremely improbable that even a third as many are agreed on any other creed.—Church Review. Very Like an Anthem.—A sailor who had been to a cathedral, and had heard some very fine music, was descanting particularly upon an anthem which gave him much pleasure. His shipmate listened for a time, and then said : "I say, Bill, what's a hanthem?" "What!" replied Bill, "do you mean to say you don't know what a hanthem is ?" " Not me." " Well, then, I'll tell yer. If I was to tell yer, 'Ere, Bill, give me that 'andspike,' that wouldn't be a hanthem. But was Ito say, Bill, Bill, Bill, give, give, give, me, give me that. Bill,' give me, give me that hand, give me that hand, handspike, spike, spike. Bill, give, give me that, that hand, handspike, hand, handspike, spike, spike, spike. Ah-men, ah-men. Billgivemethathandspike, spike. Ah-men,' why, that would be a hanthem." ' liefs is not a faith nor a system. The SELECTIONS. Rev. Hugh Pentecost tries to blend the Sin has many tools, but a lie is the Parsee, the Papist, the Puritan, the handle which fits them all. Protestant, with the deist, the atheist, Alas! this time is never the time for the rationalist. He is a nondescript, a self-denial; it is always the next time. what-is-it, a paradox. Nature dislikes Nothing succeeds like success. What hybrids. If one does appear, we call it is hit is history What is missed, is a freak, sometimes a monster. It never : mystery. The progress of humanity is hopeless, apart from the Divine regenerating power and the liberty wherewith Christ makes free. Will the world never grow tired of its fatuous attempts to demonstrate that human selfishness by natural evolution will work out universal bliss ? The flesh is not easily subdued. The carnalized mind shrink from its own purification. It rebels against what seems destruction to its joy. Despair of no sanctity. Why should you so despair—you the children of the Eternal, who have been made partakers of the Divine nature ; the inspired men and inspired women ; you who have received the Holy Ghost, although your negligence'and unbelief may have suppressed this work in you? Christianity wherever it has gone, and nowhere more so than in India, has promoted the dignity of woman, the sanctity of marriage, and the brotherhood of man. Where it has not actually converted, it has checked and controlled ; where it has not renewed, it has refined; and where it has not sanctified, it has softened and subdued. Lord Lawrence. The only thinkers of to-day that face serenely the coming floods of popular power are those who cling to the oldfashioned ideas of God and the freedom of the human soul. To them the sight of this long sought-for open sea is one of glory and not of terror. The roar of the multitudinous waters as they break upon the crumbling institutions of the past is music and not horror to their minds. For far above the surging masses shines the Sun of Righteousness, with healing in his wings. It is the threshold truth of the Kingdom of God that spirit must conquer flesh, the selfishness of the natural man be purged away in the overpowering love of God, and the lust of the flesh be swallowed up in the vast and eternal enterprises of the Holy Ghost. Those who accept the Bible as the Word of God in its entirety embrace a system which brings no intellectual shame. Take Christ's manhood, however, and deny his deity; cull out parts of his moral code, and deny his miracles; select those passages which reveal the blessedness of the holy in heaven, and reject those which declare the misery of the lost, and there is only patchwork. Why call a man a crank, when no one can turn him ? A heterogeneous hodge-podge, made up of fag-ends and fragments of all be- — • propagates, nor will Pentecost's church. You seek to produce the Millenium by change in administration or in the structure of society. You forget that the best of constitutions would prove unworkable in hell and would be quite superfluous in heaven. You cannot liberate a kingdom of bad people by a good constitution. You may well despair of an unregenerate democracy. The Sovereignty of the People is bound up with the Sovereignty of God, with the capability of the human soul to be transformed, and the readiness of the Holy Spirit to endow it with new life. What lies in the cradle sleeping there? What life looks up out of the laughing eyes? What service waits in the tiny hands? What errands in the feeble feet? And yet to most mothers, the babe counts not as the beginning of a new infinity, but only as the object of a careless, coquettish fondling. Blessed is the mother who sees more truly what birth and maternity mean; who catches some glimpse of what the cradle contains as she rocks it; and who ponders these things in her heart. Dorchester's statistics show that in 1886 the number of communicants in Protectant churches in the United States were as follows: All Methodists, 4,601,-416; all Baptists, 3,729,745; all Presbyterians, 1,431,249; Lutherans, 930,830; Congregational, 486,879; Protestant Episcopal, 415,605 smaller bodies, 579,427: total, 12,175,151. Estimating each communicant as representing two other persons in the sairje family, we find a population of 36,000,000 attached to the Protestant churches in the United States, besides 7,200,000 of Roman Catholic population. Say not we are going to the grave." You are coming nearer and nearer to a magnificent land, and a more populous city than any that the earth knows. The gr,pat majority are on the other side of the river. You are going to Mount Zion. You are going up higher—to the heavenly Jerusalem, and to the general assembly of the blessed. Ages and ages they have been assembling. It is a vast company—a heavenly gathering—a great church —a church where Christ in God is the light and the joy of life. You are marching fast in that direction ; you are day by day coming nearer to the spirits of just men made perfect; to those whose inferiorities are cleansed off; to the most powerful, the truest, the sweetest, the noblest, and the best men that the earth has known; and since you are going toward all these, what a desecration it is to say that you are going toward the grave. ; " �THE FRIEND. y M.

Personally, it is painful to us to see well-known neighbors of good social relations in serious difficulties. From what we have learned of the case, there appear to be palliating circumstances, which if the facts charged become established, may entitle the defendants to lenient dealing. We earnestly hope that such may prove to be the case. These mitigating circumstances, however, seem to grow out of the abnormally corrupt and debauched state of affairs subsisting under the late government, which made irregular and unlawful methods in dealing with the government, the easy and almost the natural way of proceeding. The evidence presented at the (preliminary examination is said to disclose much of that well known state of things, not ill-suggested in the couplet. • Oh.

It may often be expedient to let such escape re compense for their wrong action. Mercy and forbearance are particularly in place after severe political revulsions, although indiscriminate amnesty is an evil. An assurance that full penalty was to be exacted for all past abuses, would animate considerable numbersof men to desperate opposition to Reform. There seems reason to believe that the reactionary efforts of last December were largely owing to such apprehensions being excited. It is also certain that in any case, only a few of the offenders Some of the worst can be reached. and the highest ones will escape with no other penalty than lessened power and prestige. YVhat is chiefly important, however, in such prosecutions, is the full and precise exposure they produce of the facts as to gross abuses and frauds, such as took place under the late government, and which are among the things which the Reform movement is striving toremedy.

Any freeman might who receive royal patents for the same. r viz.: : Sir Charles Dilke, in his "Greater Britain," gives a graphic description of the scenes attending the purchase of the so-called " Manawatu block " of land by the Government in 1867. The negotiations for it had lasted three years, and at last the Maori and the Pakeha had agreed upon the price, viz., $125,000; but the difficult question that remained to be settled was how the money should be shared between the thrie rival tribes. One tribe had owned the land from the earliest times; another had conquered some miles of it; a third had had one of its chiefs cooked and eaten on the ground. It required the greatest tact and management to prevent a bloody war. At length a great council, or "runanga," was held, with fervid displays of barbaric eloquence and poetry. On the third day an agreement was arrived at, and the deed was signed by many hundred Maoris—both men and women. The payment of the money was celebrated the next day by a bloodcurdling war dance, executed by 400 warriors, and a grand barbecue. By this course the British Government has plainly recognized the tribal nature of the native land titles, and it has instituted a "Native Land Court" to adjudicate such claims. < To he continued, t RELIGION AND MORALITY. ByRev. Thos. L. Gulick. The kingdom of God cometh not with observation. The Pharisees demanded of Christ, when that kingdom He answered: "The ahould come. kingdom of God is in the midst of you." It had come already and they knew it not. Christ's uplifting work is done so unostentatiously that men of the world, from Judean Pharisees to modern philosophers will often doubt or deny the source of it. Lowell, an interMr. Percival esting philosophical writer, says in the Atlantic Monthly of last December: "So far as its practice, certainly, is concerned, if not its preaching, morality has no more intimate connection with religion than it has with art or politics." He then goes on seriously to prove his assertion by reference to the matter of truthfulness and honesty. Finding that the devotees of Mahometanism, Buddhism and Jesuitism, as well as many other religionists who have changed the truth of God into a lie, are far from truthful, he comes to the conclusion that religion has nothing to do with practical honesty. Searching profoundly to find the real cause of the greater honesty of our western civilization as compared with that of the orientals, he professes to find the explanation in two causes: "The one is the development of physical science; the other the extension of trade." [Atlantic Monthly, December, 1887, page 840.] It hardly seems credible that such a statement could have been made by an intelligent �28 man and published in a respectalle journal in this nineteenth century. Let us look at one or two facts in the light of this remarkable philo- literary sophical discovery. Wltcn the Hawaiian Islands were first made known to the civilized world, the natives were found to be one of the most dishonest and thievish of races. Though they were, at first, on good terms with Captain Cook's vessels, they were said to \n as thievish as monkeys, and would steal whatever they could lay hands on. What was their conduct after the religion of Christ began to take hold of them? At Kaluaaha, Molokai, and at Waialua, Oahu, where we lived many years among a purely Hawaiian population, we seldom locked our doors and we very seldom had anything stolen. According to our philosopher this marvelous change must have been owing to "the development of physical science and the extension of trade." In the winter of 1873 my wife and I rode from Hilo to the volcano of Kilauea, a distance of thirty miles, by a bridlepath through the woods and the wilderness. Many miles from any human habitation 1 lost my pocket knife in the grass. A week later a native man who had never seen me, came to Hilo inquiring who had lately been to the Learning that I had, he volcano. sought me out and give me my knil'j. I was surprised at such a scrupulous honesty, but I must confess I was not philosophical enough to think to inquire whether my new acquaintance was deeply versed in physical scien:e, o; whether he was a great trader. I was" innocent enough to take it for granted that the religion of Christ had something to do with it. When the Moravian missionaries went to the lisquimaux of Greenland they found them a remarkably thievish They were converted to people. Christianity and now are one of the most honest races known. Travelers tell us that families will leave their homes for many months and instead of fastening their houses, they leave them unlocked for the express purpose that they may be used by entire strangers whom they had never seen and never expect to see. Not only do they leave their houses open for the entertainment of strangers, but they also leave their most valuable property, their household utensils and their implements for hunting, where they can be easily found and used. This confidence, we are told, is seldom The strangers come, and abused. occupy the house as though invited guests. On their departure, if the house has been injured, if any article has been worn out or lost, if a spear or a sled has been broken, it is carefully mended, or replaced by a new one better than the old. The house and all its appointments are left as clean, and in every respect as good condition, as it was found. And so the strangers depart leaving their [April, 1888. THE FRIEND. prayers and blessing for the christian friends whose very names they may not have heard. Christianity, of course, has nothing to do with this change of character, for has not Mr. Lowell informed us that "morality has no more connection with religion than it has with art and politics?" Honesty is the result of two causes, "the development of physical science and the extension of trade." Now, in sober earnest, what more significant evidence could we have than this assertion of Mr. Lowell's, that even a philosopher sometimes funis it very difficult or very disagreeable to speak the plain truth? Is it knowledge or physical science, or acquaintance with trade, or something more important which is lacking? This attempt to steal the fruits of Christianity and attribute them to schools, to governments, to inventions, to philosophy, to science or to trade, is nothing new in skeptical literature. It is ;ts common as it is weak, and as ludicrous as it is dishonest. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit. Mr. Robert Ingersoll writes in the North American Review in reply to Dr. Field: " Let me say to you again- and let me say it and once for till that morality has nothing to do with religion." And yet this very man would probably act about as the two sailors are said to have done when they were shipwrecked on what they had known to be a cannibal island. As they were cautiously crawling along the beach, one of them suddenly jumped up and shouted: "We're all right, Jack! There's a church!" And they both walked boldly forward. There is an old book that some philosophers consider antiquated, which says,"the natural man receiveth not the the tilings ofthe spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot know them, for they are spiritually discerned." The god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. We have no need lo be surprised at the persistent " oppositions of science falsely so called." When the apostle warns men not to lie to one another, perhaps our philosopher would remind us that he was "preaching," not practicing. Mr. Harrison and some of the otherrationalistic philosophers have lately been raising the question, " is religion of any use. or can we do as well without it?" The idea is almost as grotesque as the story ofthe woman who said, "we owe avast obligation to the moon, which affords light on dark nights, whereas we are under no such debt to the sun, who always shines by day when there is always plenty of light." PRAYER NOT UNPHILOSOPHICAL. The devout, believing soul, who is experienced in the grace of God, seldom feels troubled by philosophical argu ments against prayer. It is not uninteresting, however, to see how freely and candidly the chief argument of this sort is brushed aside by Prof. Huxley him self, the eminent biologist and Agnostic. It may be remembered how several years ago Prof. Huxley challenged the Bishops to a " prayer test." " The supposition that there is any inconsistency between the acceptance of the constancy of natural order and a belief in the efficiency of prayer is the more unaccountable as it is obviously contradicted by antilogies furnished by everyday experience. The belief in the efficiency of prayerdepends upon the as sumption that there is somebody, somewhere, who is strong enough to deal with the earth and its contents as men deal with the tilings and events which they are strong enough to modify or control; and who is capable of being moved by appeals such as men make to one another. This belief does not even involve theism; for our earth is an insignificant particle ofthe solar system, while the solar system is hardly worth speaking of in relation to the All; and for anything that can be proved to the contrary, there may be beings endowed with full power over our system, yet practically as insignificant as ourselves in relation to the uniCertainly, I do not lack faith verse in the constancy of natural order. Hut I am not less convinced that if I were to ask the Bishop of Manchester to do me a kindness which lay within his power, he would do it. And I am unable to see that his action on my request involves any violation of the order of Nature. On the contrary, as I have not the honor to know the Bishop personally, my action would be based upon my faith in that 'law of Nature,' or generalization from experience, which tells me that, as a rule, the men who occupy the bishop's position are kindly and courteous. How is the case altered if my request is preferred to some imaginary superior being, or to the Most High being, who, by the supposition, is able to arrest disease, or to make the sun stand still in the heavens, just as easily as I can stop my watch, or make it indicate any hour that pleases me?" The above language of Prof. Huxley accords with a view long ago expressed in a sermon of our own, viz That even if the Supreme Being thought it unbecoming himself to modify the action of natural forces, he might not unfitly commission his powerful angels to do so. The point is this, that there is no more law in God or one Do the truth you know, and you shall violation of natural of his angels producing rain or giving a learn the .truth you need to know. : �Volume 46, No. 4.] THE FRIEND. fair wind in answer to prayer than in a human being " lending a hand " at request. How much plainer is this in the spiritual uplifting antl guidance which we ask for. The last sentences of the above quoted paragraph impressively suggest our Lord's words, "If ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven, give good gifts to them that ask him."

Dr. Beckwith is preaching a series of discourses upon the evidences ofthe Divine origin of the books of the Bible. His presentation of the subject is a very powerful one. Rev. T. Y. Moore, ofthe Presbyterian Church of Helena, Montana, has been visiting Kilauca and Ila'.eakala. Mr. Moore led the prayer of the meeting sweetly and powerfully at Central Union Church hist Wednesday evening. He soon leaves on the Planter. A very interesting reception was given at (jueen Emma Hall Saturday evening, March 24th, to Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Miyama, by their Japanese friends and others. Mr. Miyama expects to spend several months in Evangelical labor among his countrymen in these islands. Rev. T. Dwight Hunt is publishing in the Pacific a series of " Reminiscences of Pioneer Missionary Life in California." Mr. Hunt spent some years as a missionary in these Islands. On the discovery of gold he hastened to San FYancisco. He was the first Protestant minister on the ground, and labored for several years with zeal and great acceptance its Pastor of the First Congregational Church. During an absence of Father Damon, Mr. Hunt filled the editorial chair of the Friend. This was more than forty years ago. Rev. J. Q. Adams, of the Westminster Church, San Francisco, preached« in the Central Union Church on the evening of March 25th, from the text, "Thereshall be no night there"—no night of toil, of ignorance, nor of sin, well lifting our thoughts up into "heavenly places." Mr. Adams has made himself a very welcome guest among the Christian people of these islands. His impressive, but cheerful voice has often been heard in our assemblies, ministering to us of many good treasures ofthe gospel. Mr. and Mrs. Adams have sailed for San Francisco on the shipAlexander McNeil. Mr. Adams has been very successful in his quest of rest and recuperated nerves. 29 In more than three-fourths of our territory containing far more than threefourths of our population the grog-shop is practically unknown, so that an entire generation has grown up there never having seen one. In proportion to population, Maine's share of the national drink-bill would be now about thirteen million dollars, but one million will more than cover the cost of all the liquor smuggled into the state and sold in violation of law. We save annually more than twelve million dollars directly, and an equal sum indirectly as the result of prohibition, which, but for the Maine Law would be spent, lost and wasted in drink. In those .lays, Maine was said to be the poorest state in tin: Union, but now she is one of the most prosperous. Signs of unthrift and poverty were set;n everywhere in neglected, shabby houses, barns, farms, school houses, meetinghouses; but now such indications of the saloon and the drink habit are seen nowhere. John Blight said: "If the evils coming to the community from intemperance could be put aw.iv, England could not be recognized as the same country." Precisely that has happened to Maine.

Jesus' disciples came to him for the constitution of the church, for the organization of a hierarchy. Time the church had government marked out, its lordships appointed. " Who is greatest," they demand of him, "in the kingdom of God ? " We may easily imagine the contest. Peter claims precedence because he has first confessed Christ, and James because he is the Lord's brother, and John because he is a son of thunder, and Judas Iscaiiot because he is lord high treasurer and carries the bag. But Christ puts all these claims aside, and says in effect, In my Kingdom there is no other law of precedence and authority than this, He who serves most is chief and highest.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Hoard of Missions, ami the Editor, appointed tiy the Board is responsible forits contents. A. O. Forbes, - - - Editor. The Morning Star may be considered due now at any time on her return from her annual voyage to Micronesia. Although a careful general plan of her voyage is made out every year before she starts from Honolulu, yet there is always an element of uncertainty which renders it difficult to say within a month just when she is due. This uncertainty arises from various causes, the chief of which are the length of her voyage, and the nature of the work she has to do. A merchant vessel has a definite route from port to port; a whaler has a season whose limits are quite well defined, and, in either case, the contingencies which may change or lengthen the voyage are comparatively few. But with the Morning Star the case is different. The contingencies of her voyage are so numerous, and the work she has to do is <nr such a multifarious nature that the most puzzling work of the General Secretary of the Hawaiian Board each year is to make out the general plan of the voyage and the corresponding letter of instructions to the captain. She is provisioned and fitted out for a ten months voyage, but her actual work among the mission stations in Micronesia occupies from eight to nine months; the rest ofthe time being mostly taken up in going to the field and returning. She plies back and forth among five different groups of islands in Micronesia, visiting twenty-six separate mission stations besides exploring new islands from time to time, landing supplies of various kinds for the missionaries, taking them from island to island in their tours of visitation, or for their general convocations, and carrying the scholars of the Mission Training Schools back and forth to their homes or to the schools. This is no small matter, as there are now four Training Schools and two Girl's Boarding Schools established in that broad field. Her track in this work zigzags back and forth, and frequently doubles on itself through a field of about six hundred miles broad, north and south, by about eighteen hundred miles long, east and west. In such a voyage and such a work many contingencies are apt to arise which cannot be foreseen and and which materially alter the plan and duration of the voyage; such for instance as serious illness or loss of health of some of the missionaries, or breaking out of war on some of the islands. Our last date from Capt. Garland showed that the vessel was only three weeks behind her usual time, owing to an unusual series of protracted calms, and to the trouble with the Spanish on Ponapc, which had caused her to make an extra visit to that island to.ieeifthc missionaries needed further aid. She had at that time accomplished nearly half of her work, and unless some special delay should happen during the remainder of her voyage, she would therefore be now due at this port on her reIf, however, unusual turn voyage. calms or other causes of delay should arise, she may not arrive till the latter part of April or the early part of May. 31 where a Gilbert Island teacher alone is stationed. Here an unfavorable state of things was found to exist. Tern Binoka, the somewhat celebrated King of Apemama, had shown himself decidedly hostile to Christianity, and being an absolute despot, those who stood firm against heathenish orgies and practices were in fear for their lives.

A TESTIMONY TO AMERICAN MISSIONARIES. Letter from the American Minister to China, SII.II klefurj. Kvans\ illc. Indian:.. Legation of lo General United States, Peking, March 20, 1886. Dear General:—I wrote you some time since about the missionaries. Since then I have gone through some-of the missions here, and will go through all. Believe nobody when he sneers at them. The man is simply not posted on the work. With your enthusiastic religious nature, you can realize the view that the believing Christian takes of the divine side of the question. I, unfortunately more worldly, look at it as the ancient Roman would have done, who said, " I am a man, and nothing that is human is indifferent to me." I saw a quiet, cheerful woman teaching forty or more Chinese girls; she teaches in Chinese the ordinary branches of common school education. Beneath the shadow of the "forbidden city" I heard these girls sing the Psalms of David and " Home, Sweet Home." I saw a male teacher teaching forty or more boys the translation of the arithmetic used at home; these boys did examples for me at the blackboard. I saw their little Chinese dormitories, where they slept on kangs; their plain, but neat, refectory; their kitchen, with its great piles of lice. I saw their chapel; I visited the dispensaries, complete and perfect as any apothecary shop at home; then the consultation rooms, their wards for patients, coming, without money or price, to be treated by the finest medical and surgical talent in the world. Think of it! Is there a more perfect charity in the world ? The details of all the system were explained to me. There are two of these medical missionaries here who receive no pay whatever. The practice of the law is magnificent; but who can rival the devotedness of these men to humanity? I have seen missionaries go hence a hundred miles into districts where there is not a white person of any nationality, and they do it as cooly as you went into battle at Shiloh. And these men have lemarkable learning, intelligence, and courage. It is, perhaps, a fault that they court nobody, make no effort to attract attention, fight no selfish battle. I made the advances that have secured their warm and cordial personal affection. My personal magnetism, if I have any, came into play. I gave them a "Thanksgiving" dinner; I had the Missionary Society meet at the Legation, and gave them, as is usual, tea. I invited them to visit me, and discuss quesrions of interest to Americans, particularly, lately—the threatened reprisals at Canton, which called forth some energetic action on the part of the Legation and Admiral Davis. It is idle for any man to decry the missionaries or their work. I care not about statistics, about how many souls they save, and what each soul costs per annum. The Catholics alone have 1,200,000 Chinese church members. How -Tiany the Protestant denominations have I do not know. I taught school myself for more than two years in Alabama. The men or the women who put in from eight o'clock to four in teaching Chinese children, on a salary that barely enables one to live, are heroes or heroines, as truly as Grant or Sheridan, Nelson or Farragut —and all this in a country where a handful of Americans is surrounded by 300,000,000 Asiatics, liable at any moment to break out into mobs and outrages—particularly in view of the tremendous crimes committed against their race at home. I am not particularly pro-missionary; these men and women are simply American citizens to me as Minister; but, as a man, I cannot but admire and respect them. I can tell the real from the false. These men and women are honest, pious, sincere, industrious, and trained for their work by the most arduous study. Outside of any religious question, and even if Confucianism or Buddhism, are more divine than Christianity, and better for the human race which no American believes—these people are doing a great work in civilizing, educating and taking care of helpless thousands. They are the forerunners of Western methods and Western morality. They are preparing the way for whitewinged commerce and material progress, which are knocking so loudly at the gate ofthe Chinese wall. At our missionary meetings at home you may quote these sentiments as coming from me. I fancy that I hear your burning eloquence, arguing much better than I have done, a cause which, outside the religious denominations, has no advocates. I do not address myself to the churches, but as a man of the world, talking to sinners like himself. I say that it is difficult to say too much good of missionary work in China, from even the standpoint of the skeptic. Should your people send me any sum whatever, and however small, to be given to any denomination, I will faithfully see that it is transmitted. Yours very truly, (Col.) Charles Denby. — The same writer, in a letter to Dr. Ellinwood, Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, says I have made it my business to visit every mission in the open ports of China. This inspection has satisfied me that the missionaries deserve all possible respect, encouragement and consideration. I find no fault with them Civilization except excessive zeal. owes them a vast debt. All over China they have schools, colleges, and hospitals. They are the early, and only translators, interpreters and writers of Chinese. To them we owe our die- " : tionaries, histories'and translations of Chinese works. They have scattered the Bible broadcast, and have prepared many school-books in Chinese. Commerce and civilization follow where these unselfish pioneers have blazed tRe way. Leaving all religious questions out of consideration, humanity must honor a class which, for no pay, or very inadequate pay, devotes itself to charity and philanthropy. The early Greek tragedies move on the same lines as the book of Job, but are full of fate, and end in bare endurance. Job is full of freedom, and ends in trust. What a figure is Moses ! Dwarfing all other men in the majesty of his achievements. What breadth of character; what vicissitudes in his life; how romantic—a waif on the waters of the Nile in its beginning, buried by angels at'its end. Take David—a man who covers a broader reach of qualities than any other found in all history ; a continental character, embracing in himself whole zones of morality, mountains and plains, green pastures and stagnant fens, still waters and rushing torrents, and joining all into beauty as they spread under the light of heaven. Not only at his birth did Christ sub- mit to swaddling-bands. Ever since his resurrection he has been in the world as it were in swathing-bands. He has been in his body the church, and the church has been a very infirm body; sometimes crazed with the fever of fanaticism ; sometimes drunken with the strong drink of worldliness; sometimes comatose with the stupor of spiritual lethargy. Follow Jesus. Where? To Gethsemane? Yes; and into the mount of Transfiguration. Follow him in deeds of love; follow him into the temple with the whip of cords to drive out evil from the house of God. Love, comfort the little children, and condemn the hypocrites whose deceitfulness delays the salvation of the world. Hate evil strongly enough to expose and condemn it, if you would follow the Son of the living God. The health and wealth of the highest are bound up with the lowest. Sir Robert Peel gave his daughter a superb riding habit on her eighteenth birthday, and proudly rode by her side in the park She came home, as she wore it. sickened with malignant typhus, and after a few days died. The poor seamstress who wrought the rich embroidery of that garment lived in a wretched attic, in the London slums. Her husband was dying of the worst form of typhus, and when his chill came she spread the riding habit over him. So the deadly germs were carried from the slums to the palace.
