In these Islands, and notably in Ho nolulu, there are considerable numbers of delightful homes, where households of very happy and lovely children are growing up under an unusually wise and careful training. These homes .tie generally those of devout Christian fathers and mothers. There are some such homes where Christian faith is absent, yet Christian morals rule, and Christian fidelity and tenderness prevail. Many elements have contributed to favor this development of the Christian home in Hawaii. Social exigencies and claims have been less exacting than in larger communities, and the time of parents has been more easily secured for the claims of the home. The absence of the home in our sense among native Hawaiians, with the fatal consequences thereof, has induced especial guard and care of the home among the enlightened classes. Contributing to the good result, has been the presence among us of many English and German families of the better class, people careful of home training, and experienced in it. Greatest of all has been a powerful and pervading Christian culture, generating and maintaining an active sense of parental responsiblity for the spiritual culture of offspring, and of wise conduct tending thereto. Such happy homes have a productive contagiousness, like beautiful gardens, inciting the passers-by to cultivate in like beauty their own home plots. The children of such culture will become in turn wise, loving parents of beautiful families growing up in Christian nurture. Herein, to our view, is perhaps the highest hope for the social and spiritual future of Hawaii, a large body of the coming generation, who are being imbued and inspired from earliest years with the love of all that is pure, lovely and holy. Many of them may be swept away by evil influences, but the great body of them will abide true to what is right and pure. And many may be expected to become active and devoted leaders for the truth. To all this brightness and beauty of home life in Hawaii there lies adversely, a contrasting shadow and a menacing blight. There is a recking morass of social leprosy lying broadly alongside of what is so lovely, like the foul saltmarshes adjacent to sweet gardens at VVaikiki. There are the saloons with their diabolic magnetism, dragging such a throng of our capable young men down into hopeless dissoluteness. Even among our purest homes, there appear wayward youths who seem to defy the most prudent and earnest mouldings and guidings of parental love. Some untoward current of evil has seized upon them. Some vicious quality of ancestry has come to the surface in them, by the law of atavism. Such youth are often of bright and attractive natures, and draw others of their own circles into evil. We need not dwell upon the shadows, nor multiply instances. Parental solicitude will not fail to be active. The deep pleading cry will ever go up for ourselves and for our children: "Our Father, lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from the Evil One." NUMHER 11. ance Cause here. Nor could there be one more earnest, loving or persistent "in their good work. There has been undoubtedly as intimated by the Secretary, a feeling during the past year, of discouragement and partial apathy in this work. We have all felt it. We have been almost content, if we could only hold our ground against the saloons, and prevent them, if possible, from extending and increasing their destructive work. We thank God that thus far, they have not succeeded. The year has been one of reactionary tendency in politics. The opponents of Prohibition and of the Sabbath have been much emboldened. The supporters of Reform have been confined to the defensive; they have had to fall behind the more solid entrenchments of a radical and deep rooted sound public sentiment, which have so far resisted the efforts of the enemy to overcome. Public interests of even profounder consequence than those of Temperance have been threatened, but now seem likely to remain secure. Such a year has not been suited to aggressive work. We may be very grateful that we have been enabled to "hold the fort" thus far, while radical political issues were in contest. Death of Eldress Phof.be. —We join in the lament for the sudden de- cease of this noble woman, so long prominent in labor for the elevation of the daughters of Hawaii. A multitude of Hawaii looked up to her as a Mother. We remember her when first among us twenty-five years ago as Sister Phoebe. Although with little personal acquaintance, we knew her face as an attractive one, and indicating a marked and decided personality. Eldress Phoebe had been (for forty years, we believe) a leading member of the Davenport Sisterhood founded by Miss Sellon.and always wore the dress of the order. She had long presided over St. Andrews' Priory, the excellent Anglican The Temperance Cause in Hawaii. Boarding School for Girls.

Logan." This trim little missionary schooner was in our harbor for nearly two weeks, on her way to her important work in the western Caroline Islands. We have been acquainted with all the four successive Morning Slurs, have admired such excellencies as they possessed, and have heard much of their many and serious defects in both plan and construction. But we have never seen anything in that line that we so thoroughly admired as this beautiful little yacht. She is 57 feet in length over all, 16 feet of water. beam, and draws eight She is about 27 tons burthen, is schooner rigged, carrying gaff-topsails, staysail and flying jib. There is a partially raised deck of two feet high eiver the cabin, which extends beyond the midships. At the forward end of the cabin is the galley, separated from the former by the water- tanks serving as a bulkhead. The cabin is quite spacious and well furnished, being about as comfortable as the average accommodations on the better class of our inter-island coasting schooners twenty or thirty years since. Her lines are beautiful, and whole appearance graceful. She seems admirably planned, and adapted to the service for which she is designed. The reasons of the superior planning and execution of the A'. IF. Lagan over that of the successive Morning Stars are obvious ones. It is not merely or chiefly the superiority of the ship building of California to that of New England, although that has much to do with it. It is chiefly because the man who was to run her, and who was intimately acquainted with the needs of her missionary passengers, was allowed not only to watch her building, but to dictate what her internal arrangements and furnishing should be. Had Capt. Bray while at the East, been similarly allowed to superintend and dictate in the construction and arrangement of the present very defective Morning Star, she would have been a good sailer, with proper machinery, and with the essential equipment of a donkey engine, for the lowering and hoisting of boats, sails, and anchors, during her many scores of stoppages in each voyage. What a joy and inspiration it will be to dear Mrs. Logan and her young associates at Ruk to have this beautiful little yacht all at their service in evangelizing the many islands and islets where the Mortlock and Ruk language is spoken. Capt. Worth will also gladden them with three months' later mails than those taken by the Star in July. He will approach his old home in Ponape with deep anxiety for the outcome of the very serious troubles on that island. 83 THE FRIEND. Romanes' Estimate of J. T. Gulick. A communication by Mr. Gulick to Nature of April 16, 1866, is introduced by a letter from Prof. Geo. J. Romanes, in which he says,"I cannot allow the present communication to appear in these columns without again recording my conviction that the writer is the most profound of living thinkers upon Darwinian topics, and that the generalizations which have been reached by his twenty years of thought are of more importance to the theory of evolution, than any that have been published during the post-Darwinian period." An article by Prof. Romanes is republished in the Ma:iist, entitled "Mr. A. R. Wallace On Physiological Selection." In a private letter to the editor, Prof. Romanes writes, "The article refers to a completely new departure in the theory of evolution, striking in the principle of homogamy, the root-principle erf the whole, and in physiological selection, one of the main branches. Yet neither principle has so far been perceived except by Mr. Gulick." The article charges Mr. Wallace with singular misconceptions of the views both of Prof. Romanes and of Mr. Gulick. We have also before us a pamphlet of seventy pages, extracted from the Linnean Society's Journal, read before that Society, Dec. 19, 1886, and entitled "Intensive Segregation, or Divergence through Independent Transformation. By Rev, f. T. Gulick. It is evidently a product of profound study and reflection, as well as of intimate acquaintance with writers on Biology and Evolution. A marked feature of this, as well as Mr. Gulick's other essays on his specialty, is a most elaborate and intricate terminology, necessary, as he claims, for the proper discrimination of the various forces, proeess'es, and conditions determining evolution of Varieties and Species. So far as our limited ability to judge extends, his distinctions seem to be thoroughly philosophical, and the fruit of exhaustive study of his subject. He supports his theories by an extensive adduction of facts, not only from the Oahu snails, but from flora and fauna elsewhere. Mr. Gulick's style is perspicuous, although not as attractive as those of Romanes or Wallace, whose writings are, comparatively, easy reading. A Card of Thanks. strangers in a strange land, and followed by your loving gifts, first of a sheltering and agreeable abode and then also furnishing it with all that is necessary to make a pleasant and comfortable home, will never be forgotten by either of us. We would also manifest our gratitude to the loving Father in Heaven Who is the Source of "every good and perfect gift." We pray Him that in proportion to the reward He has promised for a cup of cold water given in His name, so, may He bless each one who has directly or indirectly contributed to our comfort here. And now our most earnest desire and daily prayer is that God may so help us and use this home, that it may in all things be a missionary home, and that from it such influence shall go out into the neighborhood and to all the Portuguese in these Islands as will be for the uplifting and salvation of our benighted people; to the glory of Redeeming Grace and the rejoicing of our fellowlaborers in Gospel Evangelization. Antonio Y. Soares, Rachel F. Soares, R. K. Baptist. "Men like Mr. Chalmers, of New Guinea," says Sir Charles Dilke, in Problems of Greater Britain, "are not only religious teachers, but conquerors who win new worlds to British influence." The missionaries of the London Missionary Society in Samoa have commenced the issue of a monthly periodical, printed in the Samoan language, for the benefit of native readers—Le Tulu Samoa (Samoan Torch.) It is edited by the Rev. A. B. Claxton, and will supply a great want amongst the Samoans.— Australian Independent. The Paris Evangelization Society have appointed a missionary to Mare to take up the work of Rev. J. Jones, who was expelled by the French Government. —Australian Independent.

Besides these, are on Hawaii the Hilo Boys' Boarding School and the Kohala Female Seminary at Makawao, and on Kauai the new Industrial Boarding School at Koloa. All these twelve schools represent a very large amount of beneficence on the part of individuals and Associations, continued and ever increasing through a period of nearly thirty years. This benevolent effort has been most wisely and economically administered. It has produced a copious harvest of fruit in the great numbers of Hawaiian youth educated and trained for pure and serviceable life, and in the very considerable number of worthy Christian households among the people. This is the only reward looked for, and it has been an ample one, richly recompensing all the effort and cost. There has been, however, another and a very precious reward in the form of a social benefit. For the work of these schools, there has been carefully selected and brought into this country a large body of the choicest class of Christian teachers of both sexes, but the majority of them ladies. We cannot give the precise number of men and some influence. Who can doubt that the character of the Kamehameha School and its teachers is powerfully and healthfully felt by every school in the kingdom? Capt. Bray and His Friends.

His companions were also most welcome, as representatives of Sunday School and Y. M. C. A. work. We cannot envy these gentlemen their seventeen days tossing in the little yacht, even in such excellent company, and good Christian fellowship. But we believe Madam Pele gave them a firstclass reception at Kilauea, and they seemed to be having a good time in Honolulu. We think they will vote their steamer passage home as better than that in a small schooner. Yet the Logan is a little palace in comparison with such a vessel as her almost dying namesake once voyaged in from Ponape to New Zealand. most pleasant New Central Union Church Edifice. The foundations of the new Edifice, the corner of Richards and Beretania Streets have been completed by the contractor, even with the surface of the ground. Those of the tower are carried down to the coral rock. The others rest deep in the solid black-cinder bed.

His assistant wishes to return to Japan "to convert his old mother's soul." Filial feeling is strong among the Japanese, as well as the Chinese. The young man, expected from San Francisco as an assistant for Okabe, had made other engagements, which precluded his accepting the invitation sent him by the Hawaiian Board. The continued illness of Mr. F. W. Damon, the Superintendent of the Chinese Mission, is a disappointment to his many friends, who had hoped for a speedier recovery, rather than a merely gradual improvement. There is no retrograde movement, however, thus far, in the work he has so thoroughly organized. No one has yet been found to take charge of the mission premises at Hilo. Miss Ostrom's school at Kohala is making steady progress, numMrs. bering now thirty eight pupils. Simpson's school at Wailuku is doing good work. The Chinese teacher, employed in the Chinese department, has applied for baptism. Miss Nellie Waterhouse, who has been such an enthusiastic and successful assistant teacher, will continue on with the Honolulu Boys School for some time longer. Miss May Green, the indefatigable Principal, reports a gratifying increase in numbers. Several Christian Chinese with their wives returned by the S. S. China, also a bride expectant for one of the young Christian Chinamen. Two of the members of the Church took letters of dismissal, expecting to go to Mexico by the steamer, due here on the 20th inst., but not yetarrived.

Dr. Mauritz with promptness and great kindness did all in his power to save her. But God had otherwise determined. The deceased was only twenty-four years of age. We sympathize deeply with the bereaved husband and his motherless children. But we mourn not as those who have no hope, for Mary had chosen that good part which shall not be taken away from her. She gave her heart to Christ in early childhood. Unostentatious, and but little known beyond the circle of her own family and Church and Sabbath School, she was a worthy example of a Christian daughter, wife and mother. Dying in the full possession of her faculties, she gave each member of her family a parting message of love. The funeral services were held in the old mission Church. Here her greatgrand-father, after renouncing idolatry, had worshipped more than fifty years ago, and here herfather and grand-father with their families still worship. J. D. Paris. time.

The Railway Co. have to be looked for as often as every ten out in town lots a beautiful tract of laid years at least, when the caldron has long from 40 to 150 feet elevation above the and been full, overflowing. During these five years, the body of lava has been slowly rising in the shaft from the central fires below. Of late, it has begun copiously to overflow, with the attendant foamings and explosive belchings which characterize its periods of more splendid activity. This may continue for years with increasing violence and splendor. Or a subterranean break may speedily occur, draining the shaft of its lava. On the whole, we may say that visitors to the volcano during the next six months have the highest probability of witnessing volcanic displays of exceptional activity. With a wet season, such as is probably at hand, the foaming action at the summit erf the lava column must be much increased, owing to the increased penetration of water into the fires at lower depths. Do you suppose that if the Bible had been written by some learned doctor, revised by a committee of eminent divines and published by some great religious society, we should ever have heard of Noah's drunkenness, of Abraham's deception, of Lot's disgrace, of Jacob's cheating, of Paul and Barnabas' quarreling, or of Peter's lying, cursing, dissembling ? Not at all. The good men, when they came to such an incident, would have said, "There is no use saying anything about that. It is all jiast and gone; it will not help anything, and it will only hurt the cause." If a committee of such eminent divines had prepared the Bible, you would have had a biography of men whose characters were patterns of piety, and propriety, instead of pom sinners, as they were. Sometimes a man writes his own diary and happens to leaves it for some one to print after he is dead; but he leaves out all the mean tricks he ever did, and puts in all the good acts he can think of; and you read the pages, filled with astonishment, and think, "What a wonderful good man he was !" But when the Almighty writes a man's life he tells the truth about him; ahd there are not many persons would want their lives printed if the Almighty wrote them. It seems that we were in error when in our last number we said that the Kauai Boarding .School is "backed with a good supply of capital." It has gen erous friends who stand read)' to help it, but the money has to be given before it can be used,and in these times ofretrenchment there is danger that the bearing of the burden of support may be left too exclusively to the few. The aim of this school is certainly a noble one. II we might be permitted to state it, we should say that it is to train Hawaiians for home life. As is well known there is very little refined home life among the bulk of the Hawaiians. Too few of their sons and daughters have been trained for it. In the conduct of the affairs of the house hold, in the behavior of husband and wife, of son and daughter, and of visiting friends of both sexes; in short, in the social intercourse of this people there is a marked lack. This school proposes to bring the boys and girls together so far as is fitting in their school life, and so train them to live in the happy and proper enjoyment of each other's society.

A long intimacy with the climate leads us to say that it is the sweetest and balmiest to be found in any lowland in this group, and more perfect than that of any part of Honolulu.

We have come rather slowly to the conclusion that a delightful rural suburb is really about to be created at Pearl City. sea. water has been laid on. Our Banana Export. Honolulu shipped more than 100,000 bunches of bananas to San Francisco in 188i). The export this year is still larger. The cost of the fruit delivered at the ship is about one dollar a bunch. This gives a pretty fair profit to the producers. On average banana land, about fifteen hundred salable bunches per acre can be cropped in three years. But only very good soil, abundantly watered, will produce bananas at all. We have known bottom land of exceptional richness, to yield one thousand good bunches per annum, for many years in succession. Most land requires rest, after.three years cropping of bananas. Much absurdity has been published about the productiveness of this fruit. We believe that quite as much nutriment can be obtained to the acre from corn, potatoes, turnips, squashes, or cabbages, as from bananas. With the extension of the Oahu Railway to Koolau, the available area for banana culture will be greatly increased. As only bunches of a given size are accepted for export, there are on all the plantations, during the third year after planting, quantities of inferior bunches sold for home consumption at low prices.

This page is devoted to the interest-. »>f the Hawaiian Hoard af K.MtOft>. and the Editor, appointed Of the Hoard is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. Last week (the 24th of Sept.) our brethren of the Portuguese mission took possession of their new home on Miller street, just west of the Queen's Hospital. The premises were bought not lonn since by the Hawaiian Hoard. The house has been repaired and furnished, and made into a comfortable dwelling. Beside it we hope soon to see a chapel where the Portuguese congregation which has been gathered, shall find a church home. The Sabbath services will for the present continue to be held in the Armory. Here, for the last six weeks, Mr. Fires has preached to interested audiences, hold ingboth morn in gaud afternoon services and a Sabbath School. On the 13th, an evening school was opened by Mr. Baptist, in a building on the Gon selves premises, opposite 108 Heretania street. Mr. Baptist has thirty one pupils. The Hilo school, we are glad to say, amount to $8,309.35. But the expendi tures have been heavy. Unusual grants means to be an industrial school. It is in aid have been called for and made coming to be felt by us all that the Hato needy Hawaiian pastors. The build waiians are in need of nothing so much ings of the Kohala Girls' School have as to be taught to be handicraftsmen been remodeled and enlarged, and the school has been started with a larger corps of teachers. The mission among the Portuguese has taken a heavy out lay in introduction of workers and in purchase and repair ofpremises. The work among the Chinese requires over 1,100 a quarter. Por its continuance there is but a small sum on hand ($172), outside of the $500 that was given with the first purpose in view of securing an assistant for the superin- tendent. The Japanese work on Hawaii calls for a yearly expenditure of $1000. Thus it is plain that the Board is in immediate and pressing need of funds. The income has never been so great as during the last year, but the expenditures have also been great, and they are increasingly so. We have two new missions in the field, for besides the Portuguese, we have a Japanese mission now on Hawaii of our own. What we have been wishing for has come, a new departure in work.

Most of the book teaching is done by the principal and her assistant. Tins leaves Mi. Terry alone in charge of the industrial department. He has on his hands the care of both the shop and the field work, as well as the general oversight of the boys in and out of their dormitories. The charge is too confining. It continues from early morning till late at night. Mr. Terry needs an assistant in his department—a man to take charge of the dormitories and to lead in the field work. We do not ask for the elaborate fixings of the Kamehanieha School. But we do ask for a moderate outiit. We do ask that Mr. Terry be granted a little leverage, and that his ready ingenuity be not left to supply all deficencies. Not long since he was seen in his carpenters shop with a dozen or so boys. There were several things for them to do, but they had to take turns, for the proper quantity of tools and machinery were lacking. One hammer served several boys; about the lathe only two could be employed at one time, and so on. The job that day was to evolve a machine by which some of the boys could be helped at their work. And it is evident that the school needs another teacher. One man and two ladies are not enough for the care of fifty boys. The same person might also well be a musical leader. With the right man for an assistant and with a little fuller supply of machinery and with the money to pay for it, the Hilo School could offer Hawaiian boys the best of a manly Christian training. To get upon this basis we are making a push for the $10,000 asked, of which $1,500 have already been raised. $8,500 more, and the work will have been achieved, and the Hilo School with a $30,000 endowment will then be on a good running basis. Is not the case hopeful, and is this not a fair and strong appeal for those who can to give ? Some have given nobly, others might do likewise. You are hereby asked to do so. A. FJudd, tion W. W.

The hall was quite well filled with a pleasant company including several strangers. Mr. T. R. Walker, President of the Association made a few opening remarks, and introduced the General Secretary, who announced the following musical programme: Chorus—Hail Hawaii ..Kamehameha Glee Club. Piano Soi.o Miss Carrie Castle. Sono—Should He Upbraid.. ..Miss S. R. Patch Chorus —Thou Art My Own I.ove Kamehameha Glee Club. The above numbers were rendered with artistic skill, and to the great pleasure of all present. The words of welcome extended by the President and Secretary, were happily responded to byCaptain Bray of Oakland, and Mr. C. M. Campbell of Sacramento. The remainder of the evening passed quickly and pleasantly, while participating in ice-cream and cake, and social conversation. Sunday Evening Service. The gospel service of song and testimony held in our hall on Sunday evening is growing in interest and attendance. The meetings during the last month have been among the best we ever had, yet there is room for morefaces and more voices. Come, and bring a friend; there are young men enough in the city to fill the hall. The singing has been greatly improved under the able and stirring leadership of Mr. Richards, who continues to give us the aid of his presence and voice, although his duties upon that day have become increasingly heavy. The meeting is held at 6;30 for threequarters of an hour, and the topics for the month are as follows: Nov. 2—The Light of the World. 8:12. John Nov. 9—Starved on Husks. Luke 15:16-21. Eccl. 11:9. Nov. 16—Christ the Way. John 14:6. Heb. 10:19-23. Nov. 23—The Good Fight. 1 Tim. 6:12. 2 Tim. 4:7, 8. Nov. 30—A Personal Saviour.

In fact, with the surrounding brotherhood, quick and pleasant means of transit, it is the thing to be expected, and hardly excites remark. I!ut there is one General Secretary, twenty-one hundred miles out in the Pacific Ocean who is quite differently circumstanced. So it is no wonder that on the forenoon of Oct. 18th, when it become known that the little schooner "Robert W. Logan" had anchored in the harbor with a small pleasure party on board, consisting of live Y. M. C. A. workers from California, that this isolated Secretary lost no time in getting on board to exchange greetings and extend a cordial welcometo both old and new friends. The party consisted of Captain Isaiah Bray, Gen eral Secretary, and A. N. Breed and U. P. Alexander, members, of the Oakland Y. M. C. A. C. M. Campbell, ex-President of the Sacramento Association, and Philip Dodge of Santa Cruz. As the little schooner ''Logan" was to pro ceed on her wa}' to Micronesia for missionary work, commanded by Captain Worth, the return trip of the young men to S. F. was to be made in the "S. S. Australia." On the trip down they visited the Island of Hawaii and enjoyed its attractions, which included pouring rains and a fine view of the volcano tires, which were fortunately at their best. So the week that remained before the steamer would sail was to be devoted to the metropolis—Honolulu and its suburbs. On Sunday, the young men visited the native churches, assisted in the Y. M. C. A. meeting, and in the evening, conducted a very interesting service in the Central Union Church, by invitation of the pastor, Dr. Beckwith. I'lie days that followed were too few and short to see and enjoy all there was in slore, but the time was well utilized and pleasant menioi ies remain as the heritage of absent friends. Since the introduction of the electric light into our building, the comfort in the rooms is greatly increased, especially in the hall, which can now be much better ventilated than formerly, and the lighting is so much improved as to make our hall the pleasantcst room in the city tor an evening's entertainment. Mr. T. S. Southwick, our efficient Treasurer, has dropped his pen and turned his back on business, for a three months' trip to his home in Southern California. A change and rest was greatly needed, and we hope the best possible results will follow. Mr. R. B. Ferguson has been appointed Acting Treasurer during the absence of Mr. Southwick. We expect to have a series of "Familiar Talks' ready to announce soon. Also some "Practical Talks" to young men only, will be forthcoming in the immediate future. Due notice will be given in the daily papers. cI onsider that man to be undone who is insensible to shame.—Plautus.

Cost at Kamehameha School. The public as well as the patrons of will doubtless be interested to learn what it costs to educate a boy in this school, and how small a share of this cost, comparatively, is met by the parents or guardians of pupils. Let us consider what this training comprises. It comprises, first of all, class-room instruction covering the whole range of common English branches. Again, it comprises shopwork instruction according to most approved methods of manual training. It comprises, also, by training in industrious habits, whereby each boy in school has regular employment for a set time each day. It comprises, likewise, a training in orderly and systematic methods in the care of clothing, dormitories, and general appearance of buildings. It comprises a wholesome physical development as to food, which is abundant and of good quality, as to exercise which is regular, and as to facilities and regulations bearing on cleanliness. It moreover comprises a patient and watchful training in morals and manners which seeks to impart strength of character and to purify and invigorate the heart with high thoughts and worthy motives. But it is a large sum, when it is considered that this amount is given outright toward the expenses of each and every boy attending Kamehameha School. The sum of $40 paid by each pupil per year does not pay for his food. It amounts, in a school year of forty weeks, to a charge of one dollar per week for food, which is a small rate, when it is considered, that a boy's expenses at home for food would be quite as much if not more. In other words, a boy in Kamehameha School, paying one dollar a week, is given a pleasant room by himself, comfortably furnished; abundant and wholesome food, nicely served ; shop-work that gives him manual skill and preparation for earning his living ; class-room instruction that is carefully followed up in the shops and on the play-ground ; and a general physical, intellectual, and moral training that any boy might well be grateful for. Or to put it another way, it costs $170 per year to educate a boy in Kamehameha School, of which sum the boy only pays a little less than one-fourth, and the School a little more than three- Kamehameha School fourths. The type of training calls for men and women who must be resident on the premises snd whose kindly bearing and influence shall be always salutary and helpful. It requires an expenditure for material in the conduct of the workshops which naturally adds to the cost of the training given. In numberless ways, this attempt to train Hawaiian boys all around, calls for an outlay in dollars and cents that the simpler routine of ordinary boarding schools does not require.— Handicraft. THhL oneuli owlands. The new Ewa Plantation is located upon a gently sloping plain which lies eastward of the S. W. end of the Waianae mountain ridge. This sloping plain extends from the base of the mountain to the edge of the great coral flat which is some three miles wide to the sea. The plain itself is about two miles wide from mountain to coral at its eastern end, lessening to half a mile in width at its western end, and contains about 2500 acres of excellent arable land, below an elevation of 150 feet. Beyond the mountain point, the Plantation hold a large additional tract of similar land. A field of seventy-five acres planted with cane for seed has demonstrated the soil on this slope to possess an extraordinary fertility. Most persons have supposed this plain to have been the result of the alluvial washings from the adjacent mountain, whose many ravines still discharge the water of storms upon the plain. An attentive observation, however, discloses the fact that the plain is not to any extent, the product of alluvial deposit. It is the product of a succession of vast showers of volcanic ashes and cinders ejected at different times from neighboring cinder-cones. Of such cinder or tufa-cones, there are three large, and two small ones, in a line of four miles along or slightly above the southern base of the Waianae range. It is owing to the enormous masses of ejectamenta of these cones that this end of the mountain lies in rounded slopes, instead of sharp weather worn ridges, like the rest of the range. The same showers of volcanic ejectamenta, falling upon the coral reefs, built up the Honouliuli sloping plain, highest, nearest to the mountain, whence the cinders were exploded far aloft to cover all the adjacent country. An inspection of the bluff's near the pumping station discloses the structure of the upland to be in successive strata of somewhat ancient volcanic ejecta, composed of tufa, decomposed cinders, and boulders of all sizes, often cemented together. These boulders and pebbles were evidently torn off the sides of the eruptive fissures, rounded by the furnace heat and grinding collision in which they were hurled aloft, and then cemented in the boiling tufa mud with which they fell. Scattered over all parts of the plain are roundtd boulders of all sizes, showing marks of igneous action later than their original solidification. These are evidently "volcanic bombs" ejected from the cinder-cones. The greater part of the last showers which covered the surface must have been composed of the finer cinders or ashes, which in their decomposition, formed the deep rich soil of the whole surface of this plain. It is well known in all volcanic countries, that volcanic ashes and cinders after exposure to air and moisture, dc- compose into soil of the richest sort, abounding in potash and phosphates. Such appears to be the soil of Honouliuli. Over one-half of the 650 acres prepared for first crop is already planted. A noble river from the great pump of the artesian wells is watering it. In a few months, the actual richness of the soil will be determined by the growth of the cane. This tract is, meantime, a favorite resort of visitors by Railway. Haleakala. Oh ! "House of the Sun," towering far into heaven, Long years have swept by since I saw thy dark sides, And scaled thy wild steeps, all splintered and riven Into gloomy ravines by the lava's red tides. In ages gone by, when the fuse early flashing Of light on this globe shed its earliest beams. Deep down in your heart, were the crimson tides dashing, And surging and foaming in lurid red streams. The wide arch above you is hid by the streaming Of sulphurous clouds which to heaven aspire Flashing blood-red in the wild fitful gleaming, Of flames from the pit of ineffable fire. ; Flames of Gehenna are leaping and playing, Above the red lips of the feculent flood. The reeling earth under it, surging and swaying, O'er its broad bosom run rivers like blood. Fiercely the flaming flood plunging and roaring, In hot, hissing torrents envelops the steeps, Deep down in the valleys, the lurid stream pouring, Hushes far into the crystalline deeps. ; The fury and rage of the fire-fiend expended No more on thy bosom red rivers shall run, Thy crater at rest —"now the black strife is end- ed"-, Lies stricken and dead, in the light of the sun. At rest now forever, and peacefully sleeping, 'Neath the soft, mellow light of a tropical sky; O'er fathomless chasms the wild goats are leap- ing, 'Mid ghostly processions of clouds sweeping by. Around thy steep slopes wave the palm tree's green tresses— A tinkling of streams in the valley's deep shades. We loiter knee-deep in the cool wildernesses, 'Mong arching tree-ferns in ever-green glades. The wind sweeping over the fern-clad passes. Hums a jubilant song in the shadowy lanes. Where once was a desert, now long waving grasses, And wide-reaching fields of the succulent canes. Oh House !heaven, of the Sun," towering far into Though never again thy sleep slopes I may see, Yet often in daydreams to me it is given, To dream over the past, with sweet visions of thee.

WHG Doctor Lee, in his sketch of the late lamented Henry W. Grady, has this passage: His next notable speech was in his own city. An awful curse, the liquor traffic, had been prohibited by law in Fulton county. Two years of peace and prosperity had come as the result. More coal was sold to warm the poor; more hats and bonnets were sold to gladden the wives and children of working men; more furniture was sold to make comfortable the homes; more worshippers were in church; more children were in the school; fewer inmates were in the poor house; fewer criminals were in jail and lock-up; fewer men were sent to the penitentiary. Most of all that was real and good, and useful was in But Atlanta, because of prohibition. love of gain led those whose business had been the destruction of love, and the ruin of men, to call another election with the hope of again inaugurating the awful work. With all his might and enthusiasm he threw himself into the opposition. His friends were on both sides of the conflict, but he had a conception of a city redeemed and moving to wealth, without the blood-money of the weak. This conception he desired to see abidingly realized in the city of his love, a perpetual benediction. The conflict was raging, the parties were massed and strictly defined; meetings and processions were held, first by one, and then by the other side. On a certain night it was announced that Mr. Grady would speak for prohibition; six thousand people assembled to hear him. Such a speech on prohibition, measured by the enthusiasm it awakened and the applause it called forth, has seldom been delivered on this earth. He said just before he died that his work in this campaign he desired to be known as what he regarded as the best in his life. T B.

By his official proclamation, it was observed in all places of worship to God throughout the kingdom as a day of prayer and supplication in behalf of the lepers, and for relief to the nation from the scourge. This is a most worthy act of the King, and one that will be remembered in his favor. Leprosy, we think, is far from being the most serious evil with which the Hawaiian people are afflicted. But on account of the stringent measures of segregation employed by the government to remove it, it is the evil which the natives feel the most painfully of any. It is a worthy act to direct the minds of the people towards the Living God as the One who can help them in their distress— towards their Father in Heaven as the One who desires to heal them. It is in every way good to teach the people to call upon the Lord their God. They may pray ignorantly —inefficiently—without intelligent understanding of the conditions of God's help. But it can never be amiss,—it is always the road to light and right action: first of all seek God in our troubles. So seeking, they may be led to inquire seriously what He would have them do to remove the scourge. It can never be useless to pray for help with all one's heart, even though the way to relief may be hidden by one's own blindness. We trust that on that day, and since then, a great deal of urgent and fruitful supplication has been offered by the people. May it also be, that the King be himself led to devout prayer for his people and for his own soul. We attended the union services at Kawaiahao church, where the Royal party were present. The sermon was by Pastor Waiamau of Kaumakapili church. We noted with satisfaction, that he enforced upon the people their duly of diligently co-operating with the government in the work of segregating the lepers. By many of the people such teaching is likely to be ill received, and Mr. Waiamau's boldness calls for praise. Would that all the pastors would do their duty with courage with respect to this and some other unpopular hut urgently needed instruction. We also observe with pleasure in the King's proclamation, that prayer is asked for patient submission on the part of the lepers to the restrictions under which they are placed. Such a spirit is greatly needed among them, and among those still subject to arrest on account of the malady. The recent murder by a leper in Kona of the officer who was attempting to arrest him is fresh in the public recollection, as well as many incendiary exhortations to such resistance in a certain newspaper. The Royal proclamation expresses the opposite spirit. By the Royal order, a series of five printed prayers have been put into general circulation among the natives, manifestly in order to guide them in their petition on this subject. They are for God's Mercy upon this Nation; for the Discovery of a Medical Remedy for this Disease; for the Forgiveness of the Sins of the Nation; for Patient Endurance; and for Humble Dependence upon God. They breathe a most devout spirit, are most appropriate in form, are enriched with Scripture precedents, and evidently the work of a competent hand. We wish that the English original of these prayers might have been published, as the Hawaiian evidently fails in some places to convey the precise form of thought, and as the English-speaking population might be edified and profitablyguided by these forms. The composer's work seems to us, however, to be chargeable with one serious omission, for which he may possibly have conceived a good reason to exist. There is lacking perhaps the most essential, at Number 12. 89 any rate, the most practical, petition of all that could be offered in bebalf of a people afflicted with the disease of Leprosy. We believe that Ood should especially be implored to impart to the Hawaiian people a mind faithfully to employ the one great Remedy for leprosy which He has set before them in the statutes of Moses, and which medical science also enjoins, namely, strict segregation. Nothing is more certain than that the terrible ravages of this disease among the natives are wholly owing to their entire neglect to separate the diseased persons from their household life. We are personally familiar with numberless instances tif the most shocking disregard of such precautions. Now how ill-directed—how ineffectual, must be petitions to God for deliverance from a disease while neglecting the must obvious precautions against it. As well ask God to stay a pestilence of typhoid or of diphtheria, while you leave your vaults and cesspools in communication with your water supply; or to deliver you from small-pox, while you neglect vaccination. It would seem as if such praying came under the condemnation of the prayers denounced by Isaiah (1:10-17). What the Hawaiian people most need in this matter, and what the Lord should be most urgently importuned to give them, seems to us to be a spirit of hearty cooperation with, and submission to, the efforts of the Hoard of Health for the entire isolation of the Lepers from the rest of the community. Why was so important a petition omitted? Thanksgiving Day came and went with its customary religious and hausehold observances. Among our many causes of thankfulness, is especially to be noted our substantial relief from the political disquiet which during the past year and a half, has Must we not at times been very serious. it is none other than the good feel that that has so of the God hand gracious our favored past kingdom steadily guided the rocks that menaced it ? He has moved the hearts and minds of men to wise and patriotic action when they seemed lending to other courses. For the lesser, yet very important mercies of material prosperity and progress, the past we believe to have been the most favored year in the history ofthese islands. And we rejoice to believe that in no preceding year have the hearts of good men been so much incited to show their gratitude by liberal gifts to works of beneficence, of religion, and of education. �90 THE FRIEND.

The only indication of land this morning at daybreak was the flocks ofsea birds which we could see in every direction, although �Volume 48, No. 12.] through their territory disclosed a single egg, nearly as large as a pullet's egg, mottled brown in color, over which it had been brooding. There was no semblance of a nest, and how the parent bird was ever to recognize her individual property, I could not make out. When you looked closely, you would see lurking under the tufts of grass or the foliage of the low shrubbery the young chicks, who have learned that their safety dc pends on such concealment. There are always numbers of frigate birds, professional robbers and cut-throats, sailing over head, watching for a stray Chick, and woe to the one that is left even for a moment without shelter. The birds you have startled from their nests follow you some little distance out of curiosity, so that before you have advanced half a dozen rods you find yourself under a canopy that shelters you to an appreciable extent from the scorching effect of the sun's rays. The birds fly low, often so that you might reach them by stretching out the hand, and the murmur of the myriad wings is like the roaring of a'gale about you, while your ears are deafened with the multitudinous cries of the alarmed birds. The whole crest of the sand ridge on both sides of •the island is occupied by these birds not exclusively, for the taller shrubbery is everywhere pre-empted by frigate birds and boobies, and there are also small land birds that live principally at this season of the year on the eggs of these — sea fowl. 91 THE FRIEND. Under the low shrubbery also the tropic birds have their nests. Beautiful white birds they are, with dark eyes and straight tapering red beaks and with one or two slender red feathers, a foot or more long, in the tail. At present they are absorbed in the occupation of incubating their eggs, few of which have as yet hatched. They do not offer to move when you approach their nests, but they hold their beaks ready for service if you venture too near. However, you may safely seize their ornamental tail feather and pluck it out, eliciting only a harsh squawk of remonstrance from the bird, who will sometimes take this insult as a hint that it is time to leave. Descending from the ridge into the lagoon basin, I found myself in a region of pitfalls. Without warning you find the sand give way under your foot, and you have an unpleasant sensation as of stepping on a live kitten. You have broken into the tunnel of a "mutton bird," and unless you have injured it too seriously, you will see the poor creature presently extricating itself from the sand in a demoralized condition. It is a bird of dark slate color, approaching black, rather larger than a pigeon, which it resembles in its smooth plumage and the graceful curves of its head and body. The egg—all these sea birds seem to be content with a single egg—is pure white, rather larger than a hen's egg, more elongated and rounded equally at both ends. They are considered verygood eating; when boiled, the white never becomes very solid, a peculiarity that is said to belong to the eggs of the sea-fowl generally. When burrowing, the mutton birds make lively play with their feet; the sand will fly behind them almost in a continuous stream. I do not believe any other creature is capable of giving vent to such lugubrious groans as these same mutton birds. Coming from the ground under your feet, these sepulchral sounds are peculiarly blood-curdling, particulraly after night- fall. Near the lagoon, I came upon a small flock of snowy terns which followed me for some time hovering in the air just over my head, and within arm's length. They seem to find some fascination about one's eye, for they will hover just in front of you, peering up inquiringly under your hat. They are not much larger than a uiynah bird, but with much larger wings, and slender little bodies— the plumage of a lustrous, satin)- white, eyes large, full and jet black. These birds s.lect for a nest the most unlikely place imaginable. They place their single spotted egg, the size of a pigeon's egg, on some narrow ledge of bare rock, or— more preposterous still—on a log where it requires to be held in place to prevent it from rolling off. I am told that, while the bird sits on its egg it is fed, like a young bird, by its mate. On the east side of the lagoon, I came upon a rookery of frigate birds, or'•man of-war hawks." as they are often called. livery little shrub—there were few more than three feet high—held from one to a dozen nests, rude structures, mere platforms built of twigs and coarse grass. The adult birds, as they sit perched on the bushes, remind one strongly of hawks or even of the nobler bird from which they have taken their specific name of "Aquila." The plumage is iridescent black; the beak, unlike the eagle's, long and hooked only at the point. When you approach, unless they are asleep, or over-gorged with food, or else devoted to the care of an egg or of an unefldged birdling, they will spread their great wings and flap lazily away, the resemblance to an eagle suddenlygone. Once on the wing, however, the bird needs resemble nothing but itself, for its movement in flight are the embodiment of self poise and mastery. In spite of its angular outline, the kite like form of the bird is not without grace. I have often watched single, birds floating almost motionless high in the air, or darting with lightning-like speed after the fish, which they have compelled other birds to drop, but I never sawbefore as now hundreds of the birds in the air at once. My attention was, however, more particularly directed to the baby birds left behind on the nests. It is hard to believe that these snow white balls of swan's down can ever grow into the semblance of one of those sombre, angular adult birds. They resemble the parent now only in the beak, which, massive and black as it is, is in striking contrast with the rest of the creature's make up. Some of them are as large as a spring chicken. Comical creatures enough they are. When undisturbed, they will be sitting bolt upright on the nest. On your approach, they will first crouch and crane their necks toward you, opening wide their great beaks as if they meant to swallow you whole. Then if you come closer, they will show fight, striking at you viciously with their sharp beaks. They are, for all the world, like a lot of little children dressed in their night gowns, aroused by some unusual disturbance when they should be fast asleep in bed. The young boobies look almost exactly like the frigate birds, but they have a straight, pointed beak, and red instead of black eyes, and when you disturb them, they squawk just as their parents do. This impresses you very much as it would to hear from a young child, apparelled like a prince, the language of Billingsgate. This must answer for the present for bird stories. I have not even mentioned the game birds, curlew, snipe, plover and duck, or the little land birds, of which there are several species, or the very interesting red eyed wingless birds, but time and space would fail, were I to try to exhaust the subject. A rough calculation puts the bird population of the island at about 800,000; it may reach 1,000,000. They have not yet learned to fear man excessively, and are in fact no more shy than barn door fowl, so that it is very easy to study their habits. The flora of the island I find interesting, although somewhat disappointing. I gathered only twenty-one species of flowering plants, nearly all of them HaThe waiian or cosmopolitan plants. seeds of most if not all of them have floated to the island in sea-water. Among them should be mentioned the loulu palm, the maia pilo (caper) the Koali (convolvulus) and a stunted species of sandal-wood. To-morrow we shall undertake a systematic examination of the deposits of phosphate of lime which give a commercial importance to this little island. They represent the bones of millions of fish that have, age after age, supplied food to birds innumerable. [Subsequent entries in the Jog book are taken up with details of the survey and exploration of the island, of the continuation of the trip to Lisiansky, and of the tedious return voyage of twenty-four days.] Outward polish and grace only make a person's inward deformities seem the blacker when they are discovered. �Decmbr, 1890.

Had Thursout of the pledges of support apparently ton & Co. allowed some of those claims, given by the more conservative wing of and otherwise made things more comthe National Reform party to their Wil- fortable for people used to government cox-Bush allies. In our March issue we said, "the majority of the party are unlikely to do anything seriously endangering the important political results secured by the Reform of 1887. They will not disturb the present wholesome political system." This view has been justified by the event. The most vital issue made at this session was upon a constitutional amendment reducing the income and property qualifications of voters for Nobles. The taxable property limit was by general consent, reduced from $3,000 to $1,000, the latter sum being considered sufficient to ensure thoughtful voting in its possessor. The real contest was over some propositions to reduce the income qualification from $600 to $400 or $300, being that of unskilled laborers. To. carry this, Wilcox and Bush expended their furious efforts with the populace, in order to intimidate the legislators. In the result, the income qualification of $600 was maintained by a final vote of 31 to 5. One-half of our legislature will continue to be chosen by the skilled mechanics and people of some little standing or substance. Although the late Reform Cabinet received unlimited denunciation, it is remarkable how fully have been agreed upon the most of the important measures and appropriations recommended by the late Ministers. Among these are the continuation of the Volcano, Pali, and Maalaea roads, and especially the Thurston-Allardt plan for deepening the Honolulu bar and harbor. The Election system has been improved by adding the Secret ballot, which failed to pass the last Reform House, although supported by the Cabinet. A rather harmless concession was made to the native feeling by restoring the offices of Governors of the islands, although for two years their absence has been found a very material advantage. Their existence does no vital harm. pap, they might have easily weathered any opposition party likely to arise against them. The depleted condition in which they found the Treasury enforced a severe economy upon them from the start. The late legislation is the most obviously open to criticism in a somewhat reckless making of appropriations for the biennial period vastly in excess of any possible income. This devolves upon the Cabinet the discretion of determining which of the authorized works to carry out and which to postpone for lack of funds, a degree of power not meant to be given to them, and capable of much abuse, as former experience has proved. We may say in conclusion that although a party in bitter opposition to the Reform Cabinet, and leaguing themselves with the desperate enemies of Reform principles, held a small majority in the legislature, nevertheless all the leading measures carried, were substantially those of the Reform Party. The principles and policy of the grand Revolution of JunelBB7, have been triumphantly maintained. They stand. They will continue to stand. As we wrote in August, 1887, "this civilized kind of government has come to stay." The United States Express Company has issued peremptory orders to its agents not to receive money, tickets or lists of drawings from the Louisiana Lottery, or in any way to assist in the transaction of lottery business. It is very gratifying to see a great agency thus voluntarily aiding the Post Office in suppressing a public nuisance. It is only a few years since a healthy public sentiment defeated a powerfully supported attempt to establish a branch (we believe) of the Louisiana Lottery in Honolulu, and to make this a great center of distribution. This infamous system of gambling still enjoys state support in all Roman Catholic countries, but withers under the higher morality of Protestantism. Dr. Beckwith's Sermon on Leprosy. Our excellent pastor made one of his ablest efforts on the day of prayer for Leprosy. We especially felt his appeal for hopeful effort, to save the native people, and were glad to hear him denounce *he kahunas and the idolatry and superstition which they teach as the worst enemy of the people's life. We have long felt assured that this is the breeding-nest of all the destructive vices of the Hawaiian nation, and that the extirpation of the Kahunas would do more to save the people than any other measure. Not to go any deeper, it is a fact right on the surface, that probably twice as many persons are directly killed by Kahuna malpractice every year as die of leprosy in the same period An illustration of their insane brutality is given in the Kuokoa of Nov. 15th, telling of a Kahuna in the rear of Kawaiahao Seminary, spitting down the throat of a little child, in order to expel the demon that made it sick. But the worst of this foul superstition is the way in which the allegiance to malignant demons which it inculcates, debases and corrupts both heart and intellect, and incapacitates its votaries for any virtuous or intelligent activity. It debases them so as to be incapable of taking a part in our wholesome civilized life, without doing which, they must perish. It is of the Kahuna disease more than any other that the Hawaiian race are wasting away. Leprosy is a mere trifle to it. Among the commendable acts of the late session of the Legislature was their squelching of the attempt to revive that infamous "Hawaiian Board of Health," or board to license Kahunas, which was created by the Legislature of 1886, and destroyed by the revolution of '87. Hon. Henry P. Baldwin. We find it to be matter of common remark, that the quite satisfactory results of the work of the late session of the Legislature were due in a very great degree to the prudent and conciliatory influence of this gentleman. Although not prominent as an orator, or as an introducer of bills, yet as a wise and friendly counsellor hehas been looked up to by men ofall parties. While not a politician, Mr Baldwin possesses in a high degree the coveted gifts of a politician, of making friends and influencing opponents by his good sense and kindly disposition. For a long time he has stood easily at the head of our ablest plantation managers, no man ever more fairly earning the large fortune which he has acquired by brains and hard work. We may add that he is one confidently looked to to lend a hand to every good work. Honor is like a palace with a low door, He that strays far into the wilderness of into the which man can enter, but he must worldly living, cannot creep back to the lodge of safety just when he pleases. first stoop. �Volume 48, No. 12.] Remedies for Leprosy. The Hawaiian Board of Health have been at great expense in employing experts like Dr. Arning, and Dr. Lutz, to study leprosy and its appropriate medical treatment. So far as we can learn, no approximation has yet been made to any method of curing leprosy. Probably some valuable progress has been made in methods of mitigating the disease, and some patients have been to outward appearance restored to sound health, although in most cases we believe there is good evidence that the taint is still in the system. We believe that it is probably true that in some favored cases, the vital vigor of the patient has spontaneously thrown off the malady. A specific Remedy for leprosy may yet be found. The wonderful recent triumphs of Medical Science are calculated to encourage such a hope. On this ground we would heartily commend the prayer to God for the discovery of such remedy, as mentioned in another column. Our first thought was that such a boon was scarcely to be expected, and that it would be difficult to pray for it in earnest. But the wonderful discoveries of Pasteur and Koch seem plainly to point out the duty of the most persistent effort to find the remedy for leprosy also. And if such effort is a duty, then humble and earnest prayer for the success of such efforts is also a duty. Our hope in this matter has just been stimulated—in ignorance, very likely— by the wonderful report of Prof. Koch's discovery of a remedy for tuberculosis. It now seems probable that a bright hope of cure is opened to the vast throng of hitherto almost hopeless "consumptives." When such a miracle of healing has been accomplished by medical science, it seems not unreasonable to believe that there lies hidden somewhere the remedy for leprosy also, awaiting the efficient search of a master of healing. Shall we not then have the boldness to petition the gracious Lord of healing, that He will inspire and direct such a search to a successful issue? We have enjoyed some interviews with our old neighbor, Mr. S. T. Alexander, who with Mrs. A., has made a month's visit to see fr.ends, and look after his plantations, after European travel with h,s family. Mr. A. appears to be entirelyhopeful as to a continuance of some profit tj the plantations, notwithstanding the severe blow given to them by the free sugar provisions of the McKinley Tariff. Such profit he regards, however, as conditioned entirely on being able to secure cheap Asiatic field laborers. A large influx of such people, can hardly be looked on as other than an evil, socially. But the immense capital already invested is not to be sacrificed. Very wise and efficient legislation will be needed to minimize the evils thus threatened. No class are in more need of such protection than the native Hawaiians. THE FRIEND. Nob Hill. This name is commonly applied to an elevated part of San Francisco which has become covered with palatial buildings. Somewhat similar to this seems to be the future of a fine location upon the southern slope of Punch Bowl. The creation 'of this place was one of the many intelligent enterprises successfully pushed by Mr. Thurston. Streets were laid out and handsomely graded high up on the hillside, the water laid on from an upper Nuuanu Reservoir, and a considerable number of lots auctioned off at moderate prices. Among others, Mr. Hackfeld has recently erected, wh.,t we have heard call ed, the finest private residence in the city. This seems to have boomed the tract, and a few days since, the remaining lots were bid off at more than three times the upset prices of the government. The view from the spot is a glorious one. On some accounts, our own preference would be for an equally elevated site on the north-west side of Punchbowl, on what is now Crown land, but which must in the near future, revert to the Government, and be put on the market. 93 Pearl City Lots.—As the result of the sale held on the ground on the 29th, notwithstanding the rain, over 100 lots were sold for some $44,000. Many other parties are waiting for further opportunity to buy. Mr. Dillingham has made a grand success of this enterprise. We went over the ground for the first time since cleared and laid out. It is truly a lovely spot. One feature we have not seen mentioned, that there are fine easy drives in several directions inland to a height of 1,000 feet or more. The coming town is in full view from Punchbowl. Waialua Church, on Sunday, Nov. 30, raised the last of the $230 needed, and are now entirely free from the debt incurred in completing their new church. About $200 is needed for finishing and furnishing the new Portuguese Chapel. Mr. W. W. Hall will receive your contributions for that object.

The thought was well expressed and the refrain was plaintively touching. The temptation scene of the garden of Eden, and the departure of our first parents from Par. diie was next sung to the air of "Just before the battle mother." These and ether pieces which were sung, descriptive, or dlustrative and explanatory to some Scripti.re lesson, affected us deeply, and somewhat modified our views regarding the value of these Sabbath School exhibitions. We see that there may be good in them. Here was elevated thought set to real music. It is what Hawaiian music, outside of the sttndards, now lacks. Such music as this may take the place of pure ballads till they come. Such homely rhyming as this may well be encouraged as an offset to some of our popular but doubtful native songs. We will but add that this good people with their enterprising Pastor are really in need of outside aid just now. About $350 must be found somewhere to add to the $200 already found, and to make up, the needy $550, or possibly $600, required to repair their dilapitated church building, which will soon be a ruin if it is not speedily made weather proof.

The Onomea church has done this in the face of the fact that the Pastor's Aid Society of Hawaii stands ready to help them to sustain their Pastor to the full limit of their need. This is the third Pastor the church has served in this way within nearly as many years. Ousted from his pastorate Mr. Kamoku with his characteristic energy has found work at the Hilo Boarding School. He helps at evening prayers and in thp field work as a sort of teacher of practical agriculture. The Waialua church building is to be dedicated on the Sabbath of the 7th of December. The present indebtedness cf thischurch for its building is about two hundred dollars, but it is hoped that before the above date the money will be all raised. The church people are grateful to the kind friends who have helped them so generously. The Kawaiahao and Kaumakapili churches have lately taken up goodly contributions in their aid.

It is a pleasure to note a general interChristians on these islands in the work of evangelization in progress among the Japanese. The work in itself and in its strategic relation is second only in importance to that among the natives. I question whether the situation is paralleled in Christendom. Where else are thirteen thousand and more idolaters conveniently grouped away from their temples, and their priests, and their frequent wayside gods? Where else are so many heathen in broken companies br 'light into immediate contact with a dominant Christian sentiment ? Tlv re are Chinese massed in San Francisco and I nic other cities, but ttiey are a Solidarity, and constitute simply a transplanted IrCtion ot heathenism. But the Japanese with us are in separate companies divided on the plantations t at our Christianity may happily conquer. It will be sorely to our dis credit if we permit them to c >me and go without a patient, persevering eff.rt to afford them some knowledge of Christ. They come to us firm adherents of their ancestral faith. They may have been but indifferent devotees at home, but when about to leave their country a vague fear of peril to be encountered causes them to seek to their gods, and to make vows and offerings that they hope may secure protection and care. And so it comes about that many who cared little or nothing for Buddhism in Jap-in are devoted idolaters here. They bring with ihern (harms that their priests have blessed, and little pinches of rice from shrines visited just before departure; and these they cherish as their only immunity from disaster in a far country. I baptized six converts on Klaui the other day and each gave up a magic charm that I have now in p '(session. One said, "After I gave that to the pastor I thought for three days that the angry God might cause me to die, but I lived and I know that it was nothing." On arrival here these peasants are for the most part entirely ignorant of Christianity, and it behoves us to remember that in the absence of direct Christian instruction they are quite sure to obtain impressions of it that will strong y tend to prejudice them against ii. Can we end ire to allow them to remain three years within sight of our church spires and return to their heathen homes having heard then me tf Jesus only as spoken by the lips of the profane ? A. N. F. The new .School on Kauai, established largely through the active and earnest sympathy of Dr. J. K. Smith and his sister, has opened with 19 pupils, boys who are to have the benefit of manual training and industrial drill, as well as elementary English and mathematical studies. The ultimate design is to unite with this a school for girls, so that the problem of co-education of the sexes may be fairly tried as a fat tor in building up a healthy social Christian life among Hawaiians. Koha'a School lacks but one 01 two ol its fu 1 complement ol 50 scholars. An add tlonal teacher is needed, one compttent to give instruction in instrumental nd vocal muse, and such a teacher is ex petted soon to arrive fro 11 the Coast. This wi,l Ot-cessitite securi tg more funds for piano, furniture for the new teacher's ro mi, books and other essentials, and an earnest appeal is made to the generous supporters of Christian Education for additional help to the funds of this school, for whose maintenance the Hawaiian Board is directly responsible. The btti'dings are held by the Board under a deed of trust from Rev. E. C. B nd, on whose land the school as well as the Church and parsonage were built, largely with his own hands. The personal sympathy, which such teachers as Miss Whittle! and Miss Gorten take in the Christian development of the girls under their care, is the prominent feature in all the schools under the supervision of the Hawaiian Board. It is the outcome of the new life the Gospel of Christ brings to any people, as Paul wrote to Corinth, "Though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yd. have ye not many fathers." Both Makawao and Kawaiahao Girls' schools are full to overflowing. One of the teachers at Makawao has been very sit-k, and one of the girls died, from an attack of typhoid fever. The physician in charge at once instituted a search for unsanitary conditions, and these being remedied, the sickness stopped at once with no further cases. Miss Carpenter off' r< tl her assistance at the school as soon as slitheard of the trouble. The constant strain on teachers in these board ng schools necessitates careful selection. Not all, who are willing and ready to take such positions, have the requis.te physical qualifications. Indomit able will has often triumphed in d' fiance of great bodily weakness; but such instances are very rare, and ftirnish no propWith the o| eiing of trie er criterion. new year there are to be some changes in the corps of teachers at Kawaiahao, but in this cisc it is understood that family circumstances in the home land call for with drawal from the School. Such changes are inevitable, and from the peculiar conditi 'ns of 1 feat the islands, more frequent est on the part of Rough on the — "Four Hundred." diplomatist says, that after i English Ward McAllister's book, Eur p- iding will be convinced with difficulty that : United Stttes is anything else than "headquarters of the most appalling )bbery and the most screaming vulgar," This is almost as bad as the Dukts Marlborough and Q leensberry. There 10 doubt that Ward has written himself wn an ass. is : ' than is pleasant to the Board of Trustees. None but those .engaged in' the work can appreciate the dimcultiA in the wiy of securing and keeping suitable teachers for our boarding schools. Hilo Boy's School has about forty pupils in attendance. Mr. Hall, the efficitnt and genial treasurer of the Hawaiian Board, has been very successful in h s efT rts to I cure spec al funds for various objects in which he has become deeply interested from his official position and intimate knowh dge of the necessities of the situation. He has secured from Hon. C. R. Bishop a pledge of $10,000 towards an Iddowment Fund for ihe Hilo School, provided an eq'ial amount can be secured from others He has now in sight about $-\ 000 towards the $10,000 needed. Oibu College and Kamehameha Industrial School do not come under the supervision of the Hawaiian Board, though their Trustees are all members or supporters of the Board in its v.nous enterprises. It will gratify all the old graduates and friends ot Oahu College to know that the new Principal, Mr. F. A. Hosmer, late'y of the B.irrington High School, has proved his special fitness for the place. Especially in the matter of pirsonal sympathy with the students, has he won general commendation from parents, as well as affection and respect from the pupils. A large addition to the number of scholars is expected at the beginning of the next term, January 12, 1891. Kamehameha School has its available dormitory room, for 126 pupils, all occupied with the exception of two beds. The teat hers are devoted, enthusiastic experts, and the character of the teaching is eminently satisfactory to those who appreciate and desire thoroughness, thooghtfulness, independence and good judgment in school roam or workshop. Principal Oleson is in hearty sympathy with his Trustees, and with all interested in our schools, in making Christian character the foundation and the aim of all the work of the school. The North Pacific Missionary Institute has nineteen candidates for the ministry and the foreign field. These are of very varying abilities and attainments, but the average is about the same as in former years. The number in attendance is larger, and the difficulty of securing renumerative employment for all is enhanced by the increased number ot* laborers in our city population Especially in the immediate neighborhood of the Institute is it difficult to find employment for the students in such work as they can do, painting, carpentering, gardening. Several (f the students' wires are skillful nurses, seamof the money stresses, waiters; but they individually earn is made by braiding hats. Every Sunday afternoon the students scatter over the city and suburbs, conducting or helping in Sunday School work and chapel meetings. Some regular city mission work ought to be undertaken, but the attempts so far made have not been satisfactory, because desultory. C. M. H. • �THE FRIEND. .

The manifest mercies of the year are such as to awaken devout and admiring thankfulness to God, who has supplied, defended, prospered and blessed this favored land. The year opened with a deep sense of political disquiet. It closes with restored confidence. In financial affairs, it has been a period of exceptional prosperity. In no year has the sugar crop been so large, or the profits so great. While a shadow rests upon our future, owing to loss of our advantage as to duties formerly enjoyed, we are still sanguine of success in producing our chief staple. The chief development in public improvements has been the completion of the Ewa Railway around the Lochs for 17 miles, and its very prosperous traffic; also the successful sales of building lots at Pearl City,pointing to the early creation of a fine country resort at that point. In our various lines of Christian work, there has been much progress. It is ground for thankfulness, that the Chinese work does not appear to have retrograded during the suspension through ill-health of our able and devoted Superintendent. For this much is due to the experienced care of Mrs. F. W. Damon, and also to the devoted and winning zeal of Miss May Green. Our Japanese work has greatly prosThe Methodist division has pered. enjoyed the able exertions as Superin- tendent, of Rev. A. N. Fisher. Our department, in its strongest branch at Hilo, has been peculiarly favored in the labors of Kev.Jiro Okabe in that district, and has made unwonted progress. It has been the deepest gratification of all that our churches have at last found their way opened to minister efficiently to the spiritual destitution of our Portuguese population. We have obtained helpers from the colony of Madeira exiles at Springfield, Illinois. Mr. Soares is actively at work in Honolulu, and Mr. Baptista in Hilo. Rev. Mr. Pires, pastor of the Springfield Portuguese Church, has lent his personal aid to inaugurate this mission. Already a Mission House and lot are purchased and occupied in this city, and a tasteful chapel has been erected and dedicated. A good congregation are in weekly attendance. In Foreign Mission work, we have to record the completion of the translation of the Bible by Mr. Bingham into the Gilbert Island tongue. Our mission churches and schools in that group are making steady progress towards Christian civilization. In the Western Carolines, the work at Ruk and its spiritual dependencies is most prosperous. The little missionary yacht Robert W. Logan, has gone to their aid, and is doubtless now in busy service, carrying gospel workers to and fro. For Ponape, we are in great trouble of spirit. In the absence of the missionary peace-makers, the people under much provocation, have risen against their Spanish oppressors, and merciless war is raging. The churches and mission houses are destroyed, and schools broken up. The Spaniards are said to have expelled our mission. We can only pray for our afflicted brethren. A great work is committed to our hands. The Lord has greatly enlarged our gospel agencies. Both money gifts and personal toil are in increased demand from us. Shall we rise to the height of our privilege, in abundantly contributing both? May the year on which we now enter witness increasing fidelity and consecration on our part as God's people, and bear record of growing conquests for Christ's kingdom. 1 The Friend. Hawaiian Almanac and Annual For 1891 — commonly known as Is received Thrum's Annual. An old and welcome friend—always full of the latest facts, brought accurately down to date. The first thing that strikes one on opening it is a very pretty map of the city, showing fire wards, election districts, principal buildings, harbor and soundings, new railway stations and wharves, Punchbowl road, etc., with an index to fifty-one points of interest. There are 67 pages of statistical tables, inclusive of the last Appropriation Bill, from which almost any information can be gained about national finances, property values, immigration, exports and imports, rainfall and meteorology, schools and education, sea and overland distances, postal facilities, taxes, corporations, plantations, land areas and rentals, and many other matters. Then follow eighty pages of miscellaneous articles on native ferns, native woods, fossils, land titles, ancient Hawaiian astronomy, information for tourists, retrospect for 1890, and many other topics. There are six pages on Hawaiian tariff and duties, closing with nine pages of Hawaiian Register and Directory. Mr. Thrum's long experience of what the public need in this line, and practice in accurately furnishing it, enable him to fill a place with hfs Annual not easily equalled. Rev. E. N. Pires. It was our privilege on Sunday last, to attend the Dedication services at the new Portuguese Chapel, and to listen to the sermon preached by the Springfield Pdstor. He warmed up into what seemed to be eloquence of a most impressive kind. It seemed impossible to doubt that the Portuguese language was an adequate vehicle for the highest order of expression. Mr. Pires gave us in English the heads of his discourse, thoughts fitly chosen. Rev. Mr. Pires (pee-rez) is a stalwart, benevolent, practical looking man of fifty, born in Madeira, coming as a child with his exiled parents, and in America obtaining a full and regular education for the ministry. We have also among us, Mr. and Mrs. Pereira, relatives of Mrs. Soares, who were among the adult exiles from Madeira. Though in advanced years, they are still hale and active, and can hear witness to having suffered the loss of all things for Christ's sake. Mr. Pereira finds abundant employment as a firstclass machinist. �2 THE FRIEND. Januar y, 1891. Dedication of the New Church at Waialua. ent and took part in the services.

The Central Union Sunday School led off in the line of Christmas festivities this year. As frequently before the children were asked to make gifts this year, not to expect any themselves. $100 of the contributions were applied to buy gifts for the children at the Leper Settlement, and $15 for those at the Kalihi Station. The rest was given to the children attending the various Mission School in the city. The total receipts were amounted to $250. This with contributions received for the lepers on and since the day of public prayer appointed by the King; made nearly $100 contributed for the comfort of the afflicted sufferers from that dread malady. The Japanese Mission this year were obliged to anticipate the Christmas Season somewhat on account of the departure of Mr. S. Ban, late Secretary of the Legation, with his wife, returning to Japan on the S. S. China. Since Mr. Ando's departure,Mr. Ban has been the leader in Christian work, and bis genial sympathy and business tact will be greatly missed in mission work among the Japanese. Mr. Masuda also leaves Honolulu, and his help as an interpreter for Mr. Fisher, and in other ways will be a loss not easily to be repaired. The generosity of the little band of Japanese Christians was shown in this as in previous Christmas gatherings, in the gifts so freely distributed among the audience that filled the Lyceum. The young men sang with genuine enthusiasm, and the addresses, were as pointed and effective as they were brief. Cakes and ice-cream were served in the adjoining room. These engaged in the various departwere specialments of the ly remembered wiflr appropriate gifts, Miss Carrie Castle receiving a Benjamin's portion of the good things provided. The Chinese Mission School, under Miss May Green's superintendence held their Christmas Festival in the upper audience room of the Church. The tree was a very elaborate affair, gay with glittering baubles, and bright with countless candles. Two stuffed sheep, and the lay figure of a shepherd, were an additional attraction to the children, and something entirely unique. The exercises in which the children had been drilled were well rendered. Those in the audience who could remember the first attempts, were delighted at the marked improvement shown, especially in the pronunciation of the English words, and the orderliness of all the proceedings. One of the little girls played the baby organ while the class sung a pretty Christmas Carol. The boys recited their Chinese manual with phenomenal accuracy. The teachers deserved the praises they received from friends and spectators for the successful management of the festival; and Mrs. F. W. Damon took the general THE FRIEND. 3 Volume 49, No. I.] direction of the affair, carrying it on to its successful completion, as though determined that no occasion should be given for any sad thoughts, even if Mr. Damon's contagious enthusiasm was missed by those, who grieved that illhealth still kept himaway from Honolulu, and the work to which he had consecrated his life. The Portuguese Sunday School of wnich Mr. B. F. Dillingham has been Superintendent for more than two years, held their Christmas Festival in the new chapel, used for the first time for this happy occasion. Mr. Dillingham's efficient helpers Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, Mrs. Gilman, and Miss Dower had provided a bountiful array of toys and other gifts. After several songs from the school, and brief addresses from friends present, the eighty odd children of the school with their parents and friends, had a good time over the gifts, liberally provided. The Mission School in Fowler's Yard, under Miss Johnson,had their entertainment Friday evening in the vestry of the Central Union Church, and had a glorious good time. Christmas Day, the inmates of the Receiving Hospital for Lepers at Kalihi had a tree provided, for the delight of the dozen children, with suitable gifts also for every one old or young. Mrs. McCully, who has a Bible Class every Sunday morning at the Prison, for the benefit of the foreigners undergoing sentence there, made provision for a generous and well appointed Christmas dinner for them, which they enjoyed and The Diocesan is a quarterly issued by Bishop Willis of the Anglican Church, and marked by the personal ability of the editor, who sees many things from a distressed people. ment? view-point somewhat differing from ours. The December issue contains an excellent sermon upon "The Nation's Duty to its Lepers." In reference to the Friend's criticism of an omission in the Prayers for Lepers, the Diocesan claims that the missing petition is contained in the Prayer for Patience, to give them "such graces as they need to bear the burden which God has been pleased to lay upon them." Our contention was for a petition for a mind in the Hawaiian people to faithfully employ the Remedy of isolation. This is not a petition for patience, or compliance, but for active effort—not for mere passive submission to the efforts of the Board of Health, but for active co-operation with it. It is quite possible, however, that a distinct petition of that sort would not have been well received by a large portion of the natives, which may perhaps have been a good reason for omitting it.

A government so bad that the business in white hands could not endure it, would compel some change, and might compel a protectorate, or annexation. But most of our people feel that we can manage our own affairs better than others could manage them for us. We are entirely hopeful that the good elements in our very mixed population will so far continue to maintain ascendency over the opposite, as to ensure a fairly good administration of our public affairs.

The father and five children of a Portuguese family were drowned, on the 18th ult., at Honokaa, Hamakua, by the upsetting of the boat in which they were landing from the Iwalani. A blind roller broke upon the boat when broadside in the act of turning. The mother of the family alone was rescued. A son of fourteen had landed from another boat. There is no beach, only ragged rocks under a precipice.

East Maui has had a gorgeous Christmas. The Makawao Church has done its share toward making the day remembered. The first event was on Monday before Christmas when a tree, furnished by the church with fruit, and managed by Mrs. M. L. Hall, the superintendent, was given to the Mission Sunday School at Hamakuapoko. Tuesday eve a fine tree showered its fruits among the native children of Haiku Sunday School. This was given by the children of the Makawao Foreign Sunday School, who gave an entertainment some weeks ago to raise the funds. The entertainment and the expenditure of the proceeds were under the management of Miss Mary Beckwith, who deserves great credit for both. Wednesday evening was everybody's Christmas Tree. Among others a large tree was erected at Mr. Baldwin's house, the pleasures of which were participated in by the whole neighborhood. The same evening twelve bullocks were slaughtered, and many bags of sugar were distributed among the employees of Paia and Haiku Sugar Plantations. Every officer of the company from the lunas up had also a golden testimonial of the good feeling existing between employers and employees. Thursday night was celebrated everywhere by eating of geese, turkeys, ducks, etc., and the transfer of presents. All the young officers of the two plantations were gathered to a grand banquet at Mr. Baldwin's house, which was a great guccess. Friday night the festivities were brought to a close by a supper at the church, folldUted by business meetings and a social. I think this will last us till next Christmas.

But it is only on the makai side. One looks to see the attempts at sidewalks on the upper side corrugate themselves in selfcontempt and shrivel up in the presence of such a decent neighbor. But they are too dislocated—disjointed—disconnected, —too generally and specifically disreputable to feel any shrinking from the public disgust at their unseemly, unbecoming, uncivilized, unsightliness.

It has made its presence felt everywhere. The old question of vestures, which used to be so made a matter of mockery against Puritans, because they had great and conscientious objection* to vestures, has a curious counterpart or counterfeit in the extraordinary enthusiasm that makes the modern Anglican suffer penalty and imprisonment for the sake of a vesture he wants to wear. In the architecture of the churches there is a return to the Catholic idea in the way in which they have been restored. Then there is the vast elaboration of services, processions, candles, chantings, so marking the religious system of to day. But, above all, there is the new life of the clergy. The old squirrel-hunting parson has gone. The old man who cared to be a gentleman first, and was in the Church that he might be, has vanished, and there has come the vigilant vicar, the active curate, men possessed of the very noblest spirit of self-sacrifice and service.

The tidings come from Ponape that the natives, provoked by the aggravated misrule of the Spanish officials, have risen in rebellion against them. Last July a working party of the Spanish was attacked in t+ie early morning, and, as their guns had been left in camp many of them wen- killed. Some half dozen, including two priests, were saved by the kindly intervention of a Christian native. He brought them at the risk of his life to the Mission premises, and during the night succeeded in escorting them under cover of the darkness to a place of safety. The Governor sent at once for additional troops. Three ships of war and two transports came from Manila, reaching Ponape early in September. Then the fighting began, and the accounts given below show that thirty of the Spaniards were killed, but no Ponapeans. The U. S. S. Alliance had been sent from Japan on the receipt of the first tidings of the fight in July. Newspaper accounts say that the American missionaries, who were the instigators of the revolt, had been deported to Kusaie. This cannot possibly be a correct version of the affair, for no American missionary, except Miss Palmer in charge of the girls' school, has been on Ponape since the Star took away Mr. Doane last February. Miss Palmer cannot possibly have incited this revolt. It is entirely the doing of the Ponapeans themselves. "Prom a letter written by Miss Rose M. Kinney to Mrs. H. Bingham, and dated Anapauo, Ruk, Caroline Islands, September 19, 1890: "I reached here on the 17th. We waited three weeks in Ponape to give Mr. Rand time to decide what had best be done, for they expect the gunboats every day, and then the fighting will between the Spanish and the natives. At first they thought it might be safe on the other side of the island, but the Governor said that there was no safety anywhere, and it was decided to take Miss Fletcher and Miss Palmer with the girls who still stayed with them to Mokil or Kusaie for safety, until it was decided what was best to to do, Ifrs. ''and and Miss Foss going back and forth on the Star, and Mr. Rand stopping in Ponape until the Star returned. To save time and relieve the minds of the friends here (Anapauo,) I came on in a little schooner. "'I left Ponape September 11, and the gunboats were that day leaving the harbor, one to go to Kiti and the other to go to Ova, and there had 500 or 600 soldiers already gone across the island by a path over the mountains, and it was reported that the fighting was to begin that day. So probably before this the war has begun. The Ponapeans have made all the preparation they could, and will sell their lives and (Concluded 6.) page on �8 Janury, 1891. THE FRIEND. (THK Y. 31. C. A.

If you want to marry a rich man's daughter, or borrow $500 from him, ask him for it; it amounts to the same thing in the end. It is always better to astonish a man than to bore him. Remember that in the morning of life come the hard working days. Hard work never killed a man. It's fun, recreation, relaxation, holidays, that kill. The fun that results in a head the next morning, so big that a tub could hardly cover it. is what kills. Hard work never does. Those who come after us have to work just as hard ar we do.

Ropes of bark were prepared, over by petty kings or high chiefs. Anecdotes of three of these aliis who successively ruled over the large district of Kau, are still current among the natives. They are not mythical, but actual events. Koihala the alii of Kau was about making a voyage from Kona to Kau in his fleet of canoes. He sent word to his people of Kau to meet him with supplies of food on a certain day .it Kapua. The people cooked hogs, dogs and potatoes and prepared poi, water in calabashes and other supplies in sufficient quantities for the chief and his retainers, and sta.ted afoot with their burdens to meet him. On arriving at Kapua the fleet came along but did not stop. The alii called to the people ashore to go back to the next landing towards South Point. They resumed their burdens and retraced their steps to this place, the king proceeding by sea. At this place they were told to go on still further to another landing. This was repeated several times and they were finally told to climb the steep pali and meet the king at Kaalualu around and east of South Point. The people were tired, footsore and hungry from their wearisome travel over the lava and determined upon a different reception to their alii from what he expected. They said "we will teach these chiefs a lesson not to wear us out with their capricious whims. We are hungry and we will eat the food and give him another article of diet instead." So they sat down and ate up the food and filled the ti-leaf containers with stones and proceeded to near the coast and sat on a slight hill to await the coming of the chief and his party. He landed and proceeded up the ascent to receive his hookupu (tribute of food). When near, the people stood up and, taking the stones from the containers, threw them at the King and his retainers saying, "Here is your pig," "Here is your dog," "Here are your potatoes," etc., and Koihala was killed. The stone, a short way on the road from Kaalualu to Waiohinu is still pointed out as the exact spot where Koihala—the exacting tyrant —met his death. Another chief, Kahaikalani, was told by the priests that he must build a heiau, or temple, on the summit of one of those abrupt hills or craters which lie in the rear of the present Hilea Plantation. The people, men, women and children were all called out to perform this task. Stones in large quantities had to be carried up the steep hill to the summit. When the temple was completed, a certain large tree growing on the land below had to be felled and dragged up to the summit, there to be made into an idol for the temple. On the top of the hill was a dense forest, but none of these gel of the mind; the magic wand of memory; the splendid enginery of will; the witchery of love; the pure, bright flame of God's spirit gleaming at the center of all other powers, and lighting up the mighty galleries of mind—all these are royal gifts that all were meant to share.. But out yonder on Chicago streets well nigh five thousand shops are licensed to sell the poisons that darken every window of this temple built by God and lighted by the Holy Ghost. And the Woman's Temple, whose corner-stone we are so soon to lay, is reared because the noblest temple in God's universe is marred and blackened, shaken and shattered by the saloon poison that sickens every sense along the streets of all the world." "The man who drinks dese* crates the holiest temple in the universe. The man who sells intoxicating drinks is a temple desecrator by profession, and the Woman's Temperance Temple carries these supreme lessons to every thoughtful eye by its presence, by its name, by its uses, by its corner-stone bearing the sacred words, "To God and Home and Native Land." We append the last two stanzas of the noble hymn for the occasion "What means this stone?" by Mrs. Mary J. and the people in long lines were made to tug at it, and, after severe labor, they got the log to the steepest part, but could go no further with it. They then said to the chief, "You and the priests go to the lower end of the log and push, and at a signal we will make another effort to get it up to its place." The king and priests took their stations, and with a great shout the people made a superhuman effort, and the log started again on its upward course. When nearly at the top, upon a signal which was preconcerted, the people let go of the ropes and the log went trashing down the hill, destroying king and priests in its course. Thus the reign of another tyrant and his advisers was ended. Halaea, another ruler of Kau, was very fond of fish. His custom was when the people were out in the deep water off the South Point with their long nets, after they had made a good haul, to proceed out in his royal canoe and select from each the best fish that were taken. On one occasion the people determined to put an end to his rapacity. The peoLathrop. ple were fishing off Kalae (South Point) From fair foundations wide as love, well out to sea and were very successful.

It is to be thirteen stories high, with extreme height of spire two hundred and sixty feet. It is two hundred feet in length by one hundred in depth. It will cost $1,100,-000, and besides halls and office§ for the W. C. T. D. work, will contain stores and offices renting for $250,000 per annum. We add the following short extracts from Mrs. Frances E. Willard's address on the occasion. * * "And doubtless as God sees, to whom there is no little and no great, the rare and radiant sphere of each man's brain is a million times more marvellous than any globe that glitters in the midnight sky. The limitless outreach of thought that leaves the lightning far behind; the sweet reasonableness of reason; the brilliant play of wit; the white wing of imagination, that an- Prophetic, grand; Abide in strength, O jewelled stone! For thou art set for God and Home, For feet that stumble, hearts that moan, In all the land. Abide in strength before the gates Where God's eternal promise waitt. We give thee to thy mission sweet, With lavish wealth of love complete, Nor count the sum. Who knows but on this altar-place May shine the glory of His face, When Jesus comes. There is an eternal beauty on the faces of some women whom a rough world may call homely; though their features may contradict all the laws of physiognomy, yet they have graces of soul that will keep them attractive for time and glorious through eternity. In the buried city of Pompeii was found the form of a woman, who instead of instant flight had stopped to gather up her jewels. She saved neither jewels nor life. Just so, how many try to get both earth and heaven, and lose both. �10 THE FRIEND. Faith Inspirers.—The greatest service which any man can render to his fellows is to inspire them with faith in themselves, to make them believe that they are capable of the. highest things, to fill them continually with that deep confidence which springs, not from overestimate of self, but from a tremendous hold on fundamental principles, an unconquerable faith in noble and worthy causes. livery man who has not utterly wrecked himself may know that he was born for the best things. To hear this inner voice and follow it, to make aspiration, not a dream which lies like a sunset light on the horizon, but a quenchless star which burns forever before one's confident feet, is to put one's self in the line of the noblest success. There are men and women whose whole atmosphere is critical, skeptical, and depressing; there are others out of whom confidence is breathed, and from whom strength goes forth unconsciously to themselves. They always appeal to that which is noblest in their fellows ; they always inspire their fellows with new hope and fresh courage. There is no joy in life so great as to be one of these faith-inspirers, to have this sub lime health of spirit which makes the very hem of one's garment healing, and diffuses courage, hope, and faith like an atmosphere through the world.—Christian Union. The Christianity of Christ—if only we could recover it—"pauses in life's pleasures to count its many tears," and "hides not itself," however disguised in rags and misery, "from its own flesh ," The bigger the work, the greater the The whole-hearted striving and wrestling with Difficulty; the laying hold, with firm grip and level head and calm resolution, of the monster, and tugging and toiling and wrestling at it to-day, to-morrow and the next until it is done; it is the soldier's creed of forward, ever forward; it is the man's faith that for this task he was born.

The Governor sent for her and questioned her about going to Ova to celebrate the fourth. I did not even know it was the fourth until some one spoke of it in the evening. About the twentieth of July she came back again and remained until the twentyfourth, when we all had orders to go to the Governor's to give testimony in regard to the outbreak. We started very early in the morning and came home late in the evening. It was a very dismal, rainy day. We were at the Governor's from about ten in the morning until four in the afternoon. Mr. Bowker, Mrs. Cole, Nanpei and I were questioned separately. There was not time for the two chitfs Uajai and Josiah, who went with us, to have their deposition taken. It was a very hard day. Mrs. Cole and Willie and two of the girls remained at Joninting. I thought best to take the othir girls home as things are likely to be quiet until forces can arrive from Manila. Over thirty of the guns which were taken by the natives have been returned now, as well as the boat which they took the morning that the Manila got off the rocks. Sometimes I hope that things can be arranged without any more fighting, but I fear they cannot. The natives will never give up the ringleaders, and, of course, the Spanish authorities will not make peace unless they are given up. August ijth. —We have sent a great �Volume 49, No. 2.] many of our things around to Kiti; nearly every thing in fact that we could spare and some that we find we cannot spare very well. Mrs. Cole came home last week and is planning to go around to Kiti with some of the smallest girls this week. Nanpei is going to let us live in his newhouse. He is having a native house built for a school-room and dining room for thegirls. I think that we can be very comfortable there as it is a foreign house, although it has no partitions yet and no upper floor. He has not been able to get the boards from Honolulu yet. I suppose we may look for the vessel from Manila about the last of the month or the first of next, and we intend either to go before they come or to be ready to leave as soon as we hear that they have arrivid. It does not seem right to leave the houses and other mission property until we must, and besides we have not liked to k:ave the people as long as there was even a slight hope that we could do anything towards restoring peace. It seems hopeless now, however, unless the Star should come. Perhaps they might listen to Mr. Rand. * * * The Japalap and Kinakap people and those from this place who wish to fight are busy with fortifications at the shore. On the whole the outlook is very discouraging. Some of those who are most anxious that peace be made now may find the influence of clan and family too strong to be resisted if it comes to fighting again. We have heard all sorts of rumors and some threats from those who think that we are too friendly with the Spanish. The Kiti people are very anxious about Nan pei. Some one has been around here to see if he was safe every few days since the outbreak. (He is a chief in the Kiti tribe.) His wife and children and a part of the training school have been around at Kiti some time, and he has been there twice, once to see his baby, which was born in THE FRIEND. 11 when we thought that we could take all of that when the fort was done he would the school, and now I am glad I have punish some who had displeased him.

Publisher ok The Friend: Dear Sir: —Will you kindly receive a postal order for ten dollars, and therewith sustain my subscription to your interesting paper. It contains about all of interest regarding the Islands that a busy man car find lime to read. Cordially yours, HENRY M. Lyman, ?oo Ashland Boulevard. When Agsssiz first established the fact some thirty years ago that a large part of Europe had been once covered with glaciers, as Greenland is now, it came to be believed th..t this Ice Age closed not less than 50,000 years ago. Subsequent study, especially 1 f the tokens of the Ice Age in North America, seem thoroughly to prove that the close of the Ire Age could not have been more than 7,100 years ago, and probably much less. This conclusion is based upon a careful calculation of the rate of recession of Niagara Falls, since its present channel was formed at the recession of the Ice. Also from the similar process at the Falls of the Mississipi. A similar conclusion is also drawn from the extreme freshness of some specimens of wood imbedded in moraines of that period. Animal remains, such as the Newburgh mastodon, give the same indication. Since the melting of the glacier ice must have enormously increased the volume of the Niagara and Mississipi rivers while it laste and so have immensely increased their erosive power for the time, it seems not unreasonable to deduct something from the 7,000 years supposed to he required at present rates of erosion to produce the existing state of Mrs. Lucy White Palmer writes in Babyhood of her twins: "One little boy, himself the regnant b..by until the twins came, said, as he looked at one small bundle, 'Baby!' Then, turning suddenly, and finding himself confronted with a duplicate bundle, he added in perplexed bewilderment, 'More baby!' So it will often be with the mother 'Baby' is a soluble problem, but 'mule baby' introduces a complication. Sonic of our pet theories will inevitably be smashed before the twins are through with them." Mr. E.D. Preston of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, is expected here next month to renew work on Latitude, Gravity, Magnetic, and Mtteorologtcal observations. He performed some such wt,rk here in 1883, and more in 1887. Wish we had a million dollar Observatory on the top of Halcakala and friend Preston at the head of it. It would shove St it nee right along. A Dry Winter. December rains were only up to the average of the year. The greater part of January was exceptionally dry. Yet tluse are usually our rainiest months. It was much the same a year ago, followed by heavy rains in February and March. The above relates only to the Honolulu district. The rainfall has been copious on the windward sides of the group. Last year our mango trees did not blossom until April, three months later than the csual time, owing to the winter drought, and have been flowering and fruiting at ( dd times ever since.

Some of these si fferers have no skill at work and no diligence. A majority are degraded by vice and drunkenness. To all of them the doors of remunerative labi r are dosed. It is evident that if all these people were to work with average skill, and faithfully, six or eight hours a day, their labor would amply supply the whole crowd with food, clothing, shelter, fuel, and most of the cheaper luxuries. They could raise the food and raw mate rials, mine the coal, manufacture the cloth, leather, clothing and shots, and all be comfortable and happy. They would all become producers and consumers. Now the problem is to set them at work. Involuntary servitude to a set of powerful and bentvolent masters would do it. But slavery is out of the question. Gen. 801 th proposes to induce them to voluntarily subject themsi Ives absolutely to the direction of himself and his deputies. Can he do it? He thinks that he can so pt rsuade them. If he succeeds, it Will be an enormous triumph of Gospel force over the perversity and degradation of abandoned humanity. We long and pray for the success of Gen. Booth's gigantic undertaking.

We hope he may soon reach his destination, and be able to render immediate protection to the rights of American citizens there. We learn with regret of the decease of Rev. D. R. Mahoe, pastor of Kolua Church, former missionary to the Cilbcrt Islands and delegate of the Hawaiian Roard on the last voyage of the Morning Star. He was wantonly shot by one of the Tarawa savages, recovering with the loss of the use of his right arm. In our next issue, we expect to print an obituary notice from the pen of Mrs. Ringh tin. Dedication of a Japanese Chapel. On the second Sunday in January the Chapel, which had been built on the Ews Plantation, near the Japanese quarters, lor the use of the Japanese laborers, was formally'dedicated with appropriate services. In the morning sonic ninety Japanese gathered, and, after a short sermon by Rev. A. H. Fisher, interpreted by the Japanese preacher, Rev. M. X buragi, nine Japanese were baptized. In the after noon the Chapel was filled to overflowing, several of the white men employed on the plantation coming with wives ami babies to attend the first public religious service held on the plantation. Rev. Dr. Hyde preached, the dedication sermon from Heb io:iti-22. Rev. Mr. Fisher read the formula of dedication from the Methodist Rook of Discipline. The chapel is a neat, small building, not far from the manager's residence. In the rear of the audience room are two private rooms, one fo.' the Japanese inspector and one for the preacher. Oilier plantations are planning to put up similar buildings. A Circular. Honolulu, January 20, 1891. Dear Sir :— The Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, through its Secretary and Treasurer invites your consideration of the following facts regarding its work The past year has been one of large outlays. These outlays were demanded by the necessities of the day and were warranted by a full treasury. It was felt that the time had come for pressing the work. Old foundations needed strengthening and new ones were required to be laid. There was a call for enlargement— we enlarged our field. And now that it has grown to such proportion more funds are needed for the tilling. : : The enlargement has been as follows In the line of the Japanese work, the Hawaiian Board has a mission established on Hawaii with Hilo as its center. This mission has two workmen and should have four for the proper evangelization of the 0000 or more Japanese laborers on the plantations ol that island. What not long since was but a preaching station in HIIO, has become an organized mission with its church-home and outlying places of meeting and with its lines of benevolent work. The Portuguese mission, for which we have prayed and planned for so long a time, is at last an achieved fact with •chapel, school room, parsonage and teachers. This mission has two centers, one in this city and another in Hilo. It also employs a colporter. The Chinese evangelistic work has not been enlarged as was proposed, because we have tailed to secure the new men to put into the field The Chinese Mission School lias been reorganized and the rooms refitted at considerable expense. The full corps of teachers also necessitates an increased outlay for salaries. The im[i irtance of this enterprise males it a costly one. In the line of distinctively Hawaiian work the Board lias accepted the charge i the recently reopened Kohala Seminary. The school has been rebuilt and supplied with a corps of four teachers. It is now well equipped and prosperous with a full altenl nice of fifty pupils. Phe Hawaiian Hoard has also taken the responsibility of supporting a Hawaiian in Oberlin who is preparing himself for the native ministry. It was in the line of set unng a bttttr trained ministry that the new X. I'. M. Institute building was erected, for which nearly $10,000 were generously contributed. Certain special 1utlays were also nude in the way of furnishing Hawaiians with a better devotional literature. We feel that these lines of hopeful, dv. ncing effort will approve themselves to your judgment and will now invite your renewed and generous support on a larger scale. The following is a statement of the estimated expi nditures of this year (189.1,) such as must be met if we are to keep the work abreast of its present position • are available and which we may consider as practically assured to our need outside of individual subscriptions ?

It is the lowest possible figure of actual requirements for present work: and does not take account of contingencies, or of any enlargement. The required balance in round figures is $7,000, but in view of the growing necessities of the field we ask $3,000 more, and place our total request at $10,000 If it is the same to the giver, we 2. would be glad to have all monies contributed put to the account of the General Fund; that is, given into the treasury of the Roard without specification as to use. Donations so received can be applied by vote of the Roard to any branch of the work, and so long as there is a blance to the credit of the General Fund no department of the broad work need languish. 3. Since the offerings of the Churches are often late in coming in we ask the grace of an early remembrance on the part of our individual patrons. In behalf of the Hawaiian Roard, Wm. W.

C. A. Roys had an interesting meeting last month. After the transaction of some necessary business the Boys were addressed by Mr. F. M. English, 8.A., on "Life in the Indian Territory." Mr. English spent two years in the terri tory as an educational agent of the American Government. His experience was rather unique, but not calculated to multiply applicants for the same or any similar position requiring residence in the territory. We are greatly pleased to have Mr. Richards again able to lead tie singing in the Gospel Service. The singing is a very important part of this meeting and his strong leading v. ice inspires others to sing, and lightens somewhat the work of our pianist, who, in the absence of a chorister, has so faithfully done double duty. On New Year's the ladies of the W. C. T. U. and the V.'s kept open house in the Association Parlors from 11 Am.to4P M. The rooms were beautifully decorated and an abundance of to: thsome refreshments were served to all who called. It was a new departure in this city, but a very pleasant one and proved a decided success. In another column we give a clipped item concerning Captain Rray's work in the Oakland Y. M. C. A.

Now, lads, get rid of your dreaming and star gating; get rid of the idea that life is an oyster, antl that you are going to open it, and eat. I would rather you took Solomon's notion, who survryed life from the elevation of a king'y seat, and yet was honest enough to say and fori, "I am to be a busy man." If you mean to be an idler, a trifler, ihUtlets and h/y, go and ask the gravedigger to lay you comfortably under the clod. You have landed on the wrong planet. The world somehow or other is going to Row upon us. I wish you would understand that for most of us the world will give us more kicks thaiha'pence. You may live for eighty years, my dear young fellows, but you will hay a hard toil of life. Am I saying that you have mean ability? No, but with the best ability you will not necessarily get on. Now, will you settle yourself for the work? Life means business, toil, trouble, sweat of body, and brain. Brace yourself for it; gird yourself for it. He sure that is what is coming. You say, "That is hard." It is not hard; it is good for you; it will take the softness out of you. You are going to resign your situation because you only get fifteen shillings a week, and what is th.it to your gorgeous capabilities? You are going to strike, and bring down the company! You will soon understand that the co npany will get on without you. 1 have tried it. I speak in this homely way to drive away the glamor and the moon shine that you are mistaking for sunshine. Moonshine is a kind of shining, but the worst of it is, it is romantic, the lights and shadows are unreal, and when you come along the place when it is daylight, you say, "It is not nearly so beautiful as by moonlight." Now, 1 am tryirg to show you facts, and successful men in this mighty tit)- will tell yon life means U it, life means trouble, life means anxiety, life means a heavy battle, a heavy burden; it does not mean rolling and lolling al>. ut and having great fortunes dropping into your gapeing mouth. No; it means what it meant for Solomon long ago. Workingmen and Drink. In the city of New York alone, says a writer in The Medical Summary, it is estimated that not less than $.150,000 a d y are spent for drink; $1,500,000 in one week; $75,000,000 in one ye. r. Who will dispute it, when I say that one half of the policemen of New York City are employed to watch the beings who squander $75,-000,000 a year? Who will dispute it, when I say that the money spent in paying the salaries and expenses of one hall the police of New York could be saved to the taxpayers if $75,000,000 were not eh voted to making drunkards, thieves, prostitutes, and other subjects for the policemen's nets to gather in? If $250,000 go over the counters of the rum sellers in one day in New York City alone, who will due to assert that workingmen do not pay one-fifth, or $50,000 of that stun ? If workingmen in Ni w York City spend $50,000 a day for drink, they spend $300,000 a week, leaving Sunday out. In four weeks they spend $1,200,000, over twice as much money as was paid into the General As aernbly of the Knights of Labor in nine years. In six weeks tiny spend $1,800,-000, nearly three times as much money as that army of organized workers, the Knights of Labor, have spent fr. m the day the General Assembly was first called to order, up to the present day;and in one year the workingmen of New York City alone will have spent for beer and rum $15,600,000, or enough to purchase and equip a first class telegraph line of their own; $15,600,000 enough to invest in such co-operative cut' rprises as would forever end the strike antl lock out as a 11 eai s 1 f settling disputes in labor circles. Mes sender V.M.C.A., San Francisco. — God does not always refuse when he delays; he wants to cultivate our desire for the good we ask, and our perseverance in seeking it.

The Future of Our Sugar Industry. An essay of some length was read by Mr. Walter Frear before the Social Science Association of this city, and by special request, was published in the P. C. Advertiser. It is mainly devoted to a discussion of the effect of the McKinley Tariff upon our Sugar industry. The discussion seems careful and thorough. We can only state very briefly the writer's conclusions. He thinks the bounty to American sugars unconstitutional, and not likely to be long continued. He also doubts the constitutionality of the retaliatory provision, empowering the President to reimpose duties in certain cases, Congress probably having no right so to delegate their own powers. As to the loss to be sustained by our planters in consequence of the removal of Protective duty, in the benefit of which we now share, it will be somewhat less then our present gain from Protection. The coming cheapness of sugar in the United States will vastly increase consumption, and somewhat increase the price for producers. In 1886 the Americans consumed but 54 pounds per capita, while the British getting sugar two cents cheaper, consumed 74 pounds per capita. Thus, with cheapei sugar and rapid increase of population, American consumption is likely to outstrip production. Probably 750,000 tons would be added to the consumption in the States during the tanning decade. The production of beet sugar in Europe is likely to lose the immense stimulus hitherto given to it by bounties on exported sugar, while European home consumption will increase by a lowering of the excise All this is in favor of prices to product rs generally. But these islands will n"W have to compete on equal terms with producers of sugar in Brazil, West Indies and elsewhere. On the whole, we are to expect a heavy reduction of prices and of profits, but not equal to (he removal of duties. On the other hand, we shall be more certain of what we are to receive. Improvements will continue to be made in process's of cultivation and manufacture, as well as in facilities of transportation. With our opening railroad age, the coming cable, new lines of steamers, and the Nicaragua Canal, Mr. Frear thinks our outlook by no means a dismal one, although the blow of the new Tariff upon our industries is very serious. �18 THE FRIEND.

Our good Queen Liliuokalani takes the throne utider circumstances most favor able, if wisely used, for a happy and prosperous reign. She enjoys in a high degree the affection of her Hawaii in subjects, and their confidence in her attachment to their welfare. Her gentle and gracious demeanor, her good sense, and her fine culture, have also commanded the h'gh regard of the foreign community, which has grown to a sympathizing esteem, in observing her many and active labors for the relief and uplifting of her own sex among the people. If in the incipient adjustment of her relations, as Queen, to the government, a slight cloud has shadowed the brightness of the prospect, the difficulties arising seem to us not such as to justify impatience or haste, but rather to call for kindly forbearance, and patient efforts for a mutual good understanding. Full weight is to be given, and consideration felt, for those natural and national sentiments in favor of the power and prerogat yes of Royalty, which are inbred in the Hawaiian People and their Chiefs. It can hardly be doubted by any one that this Kingdom is advancing through a period of transition from Monarchy to government by the People. 'The nation is slowly ripening for the ultimate change. It is gradually learning the ways and methods of popular government. The change needs to be gradually accomplish- 17 Number 3. tion. Those who sustained tbe Queen's action, however, maintain that on the demise of the Sovereign the commissions of the Ministers become invalid, unless renewed. There were many more who felt that it would be a serious hardship to the Queen to work with a Cabinet in whose (election she had had no voice, and some advanced. of whom might be personally objectionable To our Queen undoubtedly, by reason to her.

'The greater part of the church ornaments were also recovered, and delivered to Captain Bouchard by Kamehameha's orders. Several of Bouchard's letters, thanking Kamehameha and Don Marin for their assistants, and for provisie>ns furnished him, have been preserved, as well as the commission which he gave to Don Marin, appointing him Consul of the Argentine Republic for Honolulu. He seems to have given a similar commission to Edmund Butler of I'.ahaina.

On It.irning this, Captain Bouchard pr< reeded thither with a peremp lory message from Kamehameha to the chiefs of Kauai, 'The "Argentina" reached Honolulu just as Captain Davis was leaving the harbor, brought him to with a shot across his bows, and made him lie under her lee all night.

All non-combatants were to be ready to retire at the first warning to these places of refuge, and sentinels were to be posted at commanding points of view. The hostile Squadron did not, however, arrive at the coast till late in the afternoon of November 20, 1818, when the lookout on Point Pinos reported two ships of war in sight approaching Monterey. �Volume 49, No. 3.] 'The Governor's available force at Monterey consisted of forty men and eight cannons, 6 and 8 pounders. According to Captain Gyzelaar,the "Argentina"carried thirty four guns, and her consort, under Lieutenant Pedro Conde, twenty guns, their combined crews numbering about 290 men. Great was the panic on si ore. 'The women and children were li.istily packed off in ox carts to Soledad and Sau Antonio, cimping out over night on the road, in a pelting rain. Some of their adventures are related in the January num ber of the Century magazine. For what followed we have only the California accounts,collected by Mr. H. H. Bancroft, which are contradictory and evidently exaggerated. Captain Bouchard's report to h s own government has not yet come to hand The Santa Rosa anchored about midnight, and nexl morning engaged in a combat with the shore battery without any decisive result. Governor Sola reports that after two hours' firing, her commander lowered his flag and asked for a suspension of hostilities, which was granted. This, however, may have been a ruse. 'The query suggests itself, if she really surrendered, why did not the Spaniards take possession of her and turn her guns against the"Argentina ? The tradition current in the Vallejo family is that there was a new battery of three iBpoundcrs, not mentioned in the official reports, under J. J. Vallejo, w icll won a temporary victory over the S.mti Rosa. A boat was then sent ashore with three men, whom the governor detained as prisoneis. One of these men, Joseph Ch.ip'iian, who was an American, after wards married a Spanish lady, and remained in California till his dedth in 1849. Later in the day, the "Argentina" arrived and summoned the governor to surrender, which he haughtily refused to do. Next morning the Argentina stood closer in arid landed nine bats near the site of the present steamer wharf, at the same tine opening a heavy fire. Upon this Governor Sola beat a retreat with his men, t king most of the ammunition and the provincial archives to the "rancho del Rey," at S ilinas.

His vessels were afterwards sighted off the Mexican coast, near Acapulco, steering south. He had probably expected to surprise the Spaniards, and to reap a rich booty, and perhaps hoped to gain the peop c over to the side of the insurgents, and thus to anticipate the revolutiein, which took place three years later. If so, he failed in both objects. His attack made a deep impression on the imagination of the Cali tornians. As time went on, the story grew. The defenders of Monteiey were exilted into heroes, and the name of "the pirate B >uch.ird"*inspired terror like that of Capta n Kidd on the Atlantic coast. LATEX NOTICES OF HOUCHARD. Of his subsequent career we know but little. No doubt in the early records of the navy of Buenos Ayres a full report of this cruise may be fund. Among Don Marin's papers is a letter from Captain B lucharo, tr.jin Valparaiso, dated Decern ber 20, 1819, inqu.ring about a brigantine with a cargo of merchandise, which a crtain William TetLn was believed to have run away with, and instructing him to have ;t seized and sod for the benefit of the owners. Mr. Thi mas Sutcliffe, in his work en titled "Sixteen Years in Chile and Peru," menti ns a corvette in the Peruvian ser vice off Cilia', in 1824, called the "Santa Rosa," and commanded by a Frenchman, Captain Brechard, whom I believe to have been our e.ld acquaint nee, Captain B-u chard. The "Victory," or "Santa Rosa," was rep rted by Captain 'Thomas Metk of the "Pedlar", to have been accidentally blown up in the harbor of CalU 1 in 1826.

He was born in South Kona, Hawaii, Dec. 31, 1831. He went early to the Hilo Boarding School; and always retained pleasant recollections of the four years spent under the influence and teaching of Father and Mother Lyman of blessed memory. From Hilo he went to Lahainaluna, and there received thorough education and culture in his native language, using textbooks which had been translated into Hawaiian. He graduated in the memorable class ef 1855, with Revs. M. Kuaea, J. Waiamau, J. N. Paikuli, and others. His first pastoral work was at Hauula on this island of Oahu; and from there he went to aid Father Bishop in caring for the church at Ewa. In 1856 he married to Libby Olivia Kale, whose mother had been one of Miss Ogden's early pupils, and who had herself spent several years in Miss Ogden's family, and enjoyed her careful, thorough training. F. ther Bishop greatly valueel Mr. and Mrs. Mahoe; and it was not easy for him to spare them fir the work in Micronesia. They sailed in the second trip of the missionary packet "M< rning Star No. 1," in 1858. At a general meeting of the mission, held that year at Kusaie, they were designate d to the Gilbert Islands, to begin work on Tarawa as soon as an associate should come. Meantime Mr. and Mrs. Mahoe remained at Apaiang, where they were valued helpers in the different departments if the work. A neat and comfortable cottage with all needed out buildings were made ready; and, as soon as enough of the language was acquired, they were able and willing teachers. Mr. Mahoe rendered valuable aid in building the first church and the first three schoolnous- son Apaiang; and at length, in addition to preaching at Koinawa, the capital, in his turn, he took charge of the work at Aonobu.ka, one of the out stations. In iB6O Mr. Mahoe was ordained to the work c f the ministry, and located with Mr. G. Haina at Tabiang on Tarawa—a hard, unpromising field. But the patient endurance and cheerful courage of these faithful laborers were equal to the need. An occasional interchange of visits between the families on the two islands of Tarawa and Apaiang afforded a delightful and welcome change. The writer does not forget the kindly ent. rtainment that was given her in Mr. M hoe's family at the time that the "Star of Peace" was making the pioneer missionary tour of the islands of Maiana. As the happy, busy years went by the work was often interrupted by wars and rumors of wars. These culminated at leng.h in 1868 in a serious civil war. The southern half of Apaiang joined forces with the southern and western parts of Tarawa in rebellion against the two kings, Abraham Kaiea and David Kourapi. Mr. Mahoe was temporarily occupying the station at Apaiang. The Tarawan party then nearest the station were almost fiendish in �20 their hatred of all that was good, and in their disposition to worry and annoy the mission families. More than once some of them were found plotting to murder every body and take all the property. 'To steal anything they could lay hands en seemed their constant aim, by day and night. After ten weeks of this incessant and exhaustive nervous strain one of the families was about to leave, for the usual return to Honolulu. 'The question was asked, Would it not be better for the; present that all should go, and leave the islanel until these troublesshall be overpast ? Mr. Mahoe, with noble heroism, said, "'There is mission property here; I will stay and care for it." And so he did, unt.l the treacherous assassi i's bullet laid him low. The two little girls, who followed their father, as he staggered across the verandah after he was shot, and were found by the trader bending over him where he lay, faint from loss of blood, are still living, and do not forget that scene. Weary months of much sufferi g and tedious waiting were appointed to our here). One day, as he lay on his bed in Mr Randolf's home (whither he had been tak en), he saw from his window the dear church he had helped to build go to pieces under the ruthless hands of the Tarawans. The "Morning Star came at last, and took the wounded soldier to the home of his beloved missionary brother, Rev. J. W. Kanoa at Butariuri. Here be was tt> await the "Star's" return from the western groups. But she was left on the reef at Kusaie and never came; and it was not until 1870 that he could get to Honeilulu and to medical aid by theschooner "Annie," Capt. Babcock. Once here, in his native air, and in the wise hands of good Dr. Stangenwald, the wound gradually healed; and, little by little, the good constitution reasserted itself, and health was re established. Still the right arm was useless; but the undaunted man learned to write with the left hand, and very legibly too. He was able, at length, to take a pastorate on Kauai, anel labored faithfully at Koloa, until the largenumber of Gilbert Island laborers on different parts of that island opened a fielel where his acquaintance with their languagewould make him especially useful. He had his home at Kilauea from whence he tour ed among them, taught them, preached to them, visited them in their homes, and did what he could for them spiritually and physically. When the numb* r was reduce el by the return of many to their own homes, Mr. Mahoe went back to his own people at Koioa. In the summer of 1889 be had the privilege of revisiting the Gilbert Islands, and hoped to see much of the old friends and work. But the breaking out of measles when the vessel returned in the winter, after having brought up the invalid lady missionaries, prevented much of this. He came back in April, 1890, seemed quite well; attended the anniversaries in June, welcomed the new missionaries, and [March, 1891. THE FRIEND. assisted at the first ordination of a Gilbert Islander—that of Rev. Moses Kaurc. After he went back to Koloa his family noticed that his strength was failing. He could not work as he had been used to do, but was very easily tired. Towards the close of the year he was prostrated by sickness brought with it much of pain and weakness. But no complaining words escaped him. As it became apparent that he could not recover, he endeavored to comfort his dear ones with the assurance that he was not afraid tt> die. His trust was in the Saviour and he was ready to go. The twenty third and forty-sixth Psalms were especially precious; and he enjoyed the hymn "One sweetly solemn thought <oines to me o'er and o'er." Yes, he was "nearing home;" and on the 21st of January he entered into the glory of the Lord, as we hope and believe. 'The faithful, loving wife of hisy 'Uth is left to mourn her loss. Of the eleven children that God gave them, six are still living, live having preceded their father to the heavenly home"Blessed are the deael, who die in the C. M. B. B. Lord." Our Columns. Perhaps the best thing we are giving this month is the tribute by Mrs. Bing ham to the memory of Rev. J. H. Mahoe, late missionary at Apaiang, Gilbert Islands. It is a deeply touching story of devotion and suffering for the salvation of a heathen people. Prof. Alexander also gives us one of his admirable collations from Hawaiian history, the story of a nearly forgotten capture of pirates on Hawaii, and of the subsequent sack by their captor Bouchard of the village of Monterey in California. Some additional light is thrown by Rev. Mr. Rand upon the immediate causes of the late uprising of the Ponape natives against their Spanish oppressors. The New Cabinet. On the 25th, the four Judges of the Supreme Court, one dissenting, rendereel their decision, that the Constitution specifying nothing to the contrary, the old pre cedent must prevail, by which the new Sovereign appeiints a new Ministry. 'This decision settled the question. 'The Cabinet at once resigned, and a new Cabinet w.:s commissioned, consisting of Hon. Samuel Parker, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Premier; Hon. C. N. Spencer, Interiot: Hen. H. A. Widemann, Finance;and HonW. A. Whiting, Attorney General. Mr. Spencer etintinues in office from the old Cabinet. Mr. Widemann has large legis lative and ministerial experience, although somewhat impaired in strength by years. Mr. Parker is a gentleman of wealth, representing the Hawaiian element. Mr. Whiting brings much experience as Deputy Attorney General. All are men of good repute for honoi and integrity. We think that, on the whole, the kingdom is to be congratulated upon such a solution of the difficulty. The judges were careful to specify that the Sovereign has no power to remove her new Cabinet except by the desire of the Legislature. We regard this result as one likely to inspire good feeling among the native Hawaiians, a thing of great importance. Cure for Pride. Self knowledge, acepiired through the illumination of the mind by the Holy spirit, is destructive of pride and promotive of humility. No man thinks so little of himself as he who knows himself best. Such a man understands that he owes all that is good in his heart and life to the grace of Cod. And contradictory as it may seem, it is nevertheless true that a good man's ex .Ration is in proportion to his perception of his own nothingness. He rises when he sinks. He grows in nobility of character when he most clearly estimates his own imperfection. It is to the poor in spirit that Christ gives the riches of the kingdom of heaven. For whi soever exalteth himself shall be abased ; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.— Luke xiv:n. From a laugh to a tear is a short bridge and soon crossed. Years do not make sages; they only make old men. God likes an open hand and close mouth. It is the bravest who are the most forgiving. One who does nothiug is very near to doing ill. One who can take advice is apt to be superior to him who can give it. 'The truest end of life is to gain the life that never ends. Temperance is a tree, which has contentment for its root and peace for its fruit. Arabian Maxim. — (Continuedfrom Page 2J.) It was in the merning of the same day that I found the good minister, my host, fumbling over the bottom things in the trunk whie;h was in the chamber I occupy, looking for a discarded Derby hat. He soon brought it to light. It was a seedy hat and worn for age and wear, but it was black and stood up stiff. Having a suspicion of what he was about, I said, "Who, pray are you getting that hat out for? You have one and I have one, is it for Dan ?" The reply was, "I did not know but that you might wish a stiff one to-day and a �Volume 49, No. 3.] black hat' in the place of your straw or crush hat." 'This was said in view v( the fact that the church stood in the next yaiel, and the wearing of the hat was just for a moment. But that moment lolel the story, as I afterwards discovered, for, during that morning I was approached by one of the deacons who sail to me, "And why have they not ordained you ?"' The fact is, I had on the crush hat. I have known this same minister on a journey to discard his broad brimmed straw hat and ride more than a score of miles in the heat of the day with his ministerial blae'k hat on his head, and his face all exposed to the sun. And when I remeinstrati d with him, and pleaded for his health and his comfort, he quietly replied, "I do it that I may not discredit my office." It is well known that the Hawaiian cannot stand ridicule. Nothing cuts him worse than the scornful la-'gh. If you want to throw him ( It his guard poke fun at him; if you are indifferent to his favor then disregard the propr eties in his pres ence. His ielea of gooel form in ly not be just yours, but he has a quick instinct which tells him of any careless slighting of it.

'The Spaniards thereupon at tacked the native fort, which is defended by a zigzag stockade of mud antl timber some twenty feet high by fifteen to eight een feet wide. It is said that the natives fought with singular bravery, an instancebeing cited of one <f them who with his last strength struggled upand shot a Spaniard, and immediately afterwards died eif the live wounds previously received 'The islanders were eventually driven into the jungle, where the difficulties ol the Spaniards were increased, as the b ish and undergrowth are very thick, and the savages have sprinkled the ground with man traps, added to which their costume in war time consists tjf green leaves, which makes it very difficult to see them Rgail It the foliage, while their superior size and strength, and the fact that they are armed with Remington rifles and are as active as monkeys, placed the Km peans at still further disatlvantage. Nevertheless the loss of life Ofl the native side is said to have been very large, although no actual figures can be given, as the brg/ast p-rt of their dead and wounded were t:arned away by their friends. It is said the Spanish commander, who is among the slain, was so mortified with the loss of Ins soldiers antl the unsatisfactory conditions under which he had to fight that in a moment of frenzy he shot himself. $452 have rlready been subscribed in Hilo toward the proposed new Portuguese chapel for tint place, [.nd $100 more Kohal.i, tnak have been contributed I'r ing a total so far of $55.'.

It was an afternoon union service where both whites and natives were present, that the pastor in in giving oi.t the number i I hymn, repeated the numeral in English as well as in native. It seems that according to the Haw iian idea it was a very presumptuous thing for him to do, for he was not an accredited master of English and coulel only talk it brokenly, having the power to understand much more than he wou'd speak. He simply said " page —, Gospel Hymns," anel pronounced the words correctly, but that short sentence from his hps sent a scowl over his wife's face who sat before him in the front pew, and caused his son, who was a Kamehameha boy, and sat in the hack-seat of the church, to break out with a scornful snarl. All this 1 took in as I sat in the pulpit, and put it to the account of a mere whim— a sort of comical ebulition of spirit. But what was my surprise on going home to the parsonage after the day's work was done, to find the good wife taking her husband severely to task for hit vanity and presumption. "I was ashamed of you to-elay for what you did. You are a pretty man to put yourself forward as a I heard the people master of English. speaking about it. 'So at last,' said they, our good pastor has begun to talk English. Where did he learn it any way? and what schoeil has he been to?'

By the happy providence Rev. W. I). VVesterveh was down from Maui and kindly consented to give the Boys the talk on " The Cave Dwellers anel Cliff Ruins " of Colorado, Arizona anel Mexico. Mr. Westervelt has visited anil c.ireful|y studied these ancient and interesting ruins anel concludes that the dwellers therein were Indians, moving north from Mexico and that their decen I ants are yet found among the Indians of the north. The talk was very interesting and instructive not only to the hoys but to some older listeners who were present. Sunday Evening Meeting. For several weeks the attendance upon the Suneliy evening meeting has been un usually large, and the me< tings have been well sustained and interesting. There is still room for more to attend, and opportunity for more to contribute a few words of testimony or offer a brief prayer, this increasing the value and helpfulness of the meeting.

I will never utter another oath; I will never drink another elrop of intoxicating liquors; I will never gamble. Anel, as God is my witness, I have kept those three vows to this hour. Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves; without that the conciurror is only the foremost slave. This world is but the vestibule of an immortal life. Every action here touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. While the intemperate man inflicts evil upon his friends, he brings far more evil upon himself. Not only to ruin his family, but also to bring ruin on bis own body and soul, is the greatest wrong that any man can commit. Socrates, Grecian; 469 B. c. — �25 THE FRIEND. Sermon Rev. E. G.

Tuesday, June 24th, they heard that more soldiers were coming on the morrow from the colony and from the garrison at Uana, to help the Lieutenant carry out his threats against the teachers nnel some of the principal chiefs. Tl.e fact that the governor permitte d the Lieutenant and prusis to ignore the request of Miss Palmer and build iheir houses right up against our church was pre til" enough to the natives that the Lieutenant was c riving out the governor's t rders. They aiso believed that he would can) out all Ins threats given above in regard to the native teacl era and Christians, and many other threats which I have no tune to give. Many of them also believed that if they permitted the Spanish force to remain at Ova they win lei drive the missionaries away. Belitving all that has In in stated above, it was to be expected tl al some ol the Christians would unite w.tli a large hoch ol young men not Christi.ins (who were chafing under the threats and braggadocio of the Lie tenant, and were anxious to give him a chance to pre ye that he was able to tlo all he bragged about), and attack the Spanish force at Ova early in therm rning ol" June 25th. The leader ol the natives in this attack was Kraun en Letau, an oltl chief from lapalap, a village about six miles from Ova. "The Metalanim Tribe. — This is the important of the five largest and most tubes on Ponape. Mr. Sturges moved in 1865. Since then Ova has been the principal mission station on Ponape. Ther is a large, substantial church here. This church was built by the natives under Mr. Sturges'supetvision. They finished and enlarged it under Mr. Iloane's direction. The church is two stories high. The upper story will seat about 400; the lower story 600 or 700. There is a good schoolhouse near the church, 20 by 35.

Jacksonville, 111., January 28, 1891. My Dear Dr. Hvur.: * * * Reached home Saturday night, 24th inst. Two ladies of the church had gone ten miles by another train to meet me. A large number of the congregation were at the depot, waiting. * * * My children were almost excited and came running towards me. The congregation was out strong on the Sabbath. On Monday evening the congregation, led by our Christian Endeavor Society assembled at our house to give me a reception of welcome home. The affair was a pleasant surprise, and very cheering to us all. I find that there has been no death in the church, nor more sickness than when I left. The Church has been moving on nicely. Several of the ministers have given us gooel help. God indeed has been good to us all. Our people have taken deep interest in the Portuguese work on the Hawaiian Islands. They have prayed much for its success. Their interest will continue, and also their prayers. They will look for a good blessing upon the labors of the brethren. 'These efforts will not be in vain, (rod speed the work. The people reejuest a lecture on the Islands. Sorry I did not being a map, etcetera. My regards to yourself, all at home, the young master, and to the many good friends. Yours Respectfully, E. X. PIRKS.

'* DECREASE OF NATIVE HAWAIIANS. By inquiry of the Superintendent of the Census, we learn that the total population of the Kingdom is not far from 90,000, of whom about 50,000 are foreigners, and 10,1100 natives and halfcastes. Forthe first time foreigners are in excess, mainly in consequence of immigration from the Azores and Japan. The alarming fact exists, however, that the decrease of the native population during the past six years is not only absolutely great but that it is by count relatively very much greater than during any previous period. We are not able to give the precise figures; hut such will prove to be the fact. It is quite likely that the census of 1884 overestimated the number of natives. With all due allowance for such error, the ratio of decline is increasing. We await with painful anxiety, the publication of the tabulated results, which are still incomplete. About two years since, we printed in Tub Ekikno, also in pamphlet form, a discussion of the question, "Why are the Hawaiians Dying out?" The causes were precisely pointed out, and shown to be remediable ones, whose antidotes are mainly Moral and Social Reform. During the past decade, these destructive causes have been intensified in their deadly activity. We are averse to making any crimi- that shall inspire the future in this respect. Hut we cannot abstain from earnestly appealing to all who have power to influence the Hawaiian people, to take the alarm at once, and work together to arrest this fearful decay of their population. An Order of "The Sons of Hawaii," has been brought before the public, as seeking the political and social advancement of their race. This is a noble and patriotic aim, and one that we would further with all our powers. How can Ihese Native Sons better apply their combined energies�sfor this end, than in making' war upon the vices and the superstition which are so rapidly deSurely their stroying their kindred? foremost efforts must be directed to preserving and multiplying their people, whose decrease will inevitably frustrate their other efforts. "Hawaii for the Hawaiians " is a grand cry; but how sadly, hopeless if Hawaiians let themselves melt away as they are doing. Education, culture, religion, social and temperance reform are hard at work to save this noble and interesting people. But the Saloon has been set open to craze them. The Hula has corroded them with its leprosy. The majority succumb to drunkenness and social vice; and the Kahunas stand by to thrust them down into still earlier graves. And so the people are wasting away. Shall no Prince or prophet arise to lead the Hawaiians upward to purity and health? It may soon be too late. respondence with all parts of the Home and Mission fields. Especial note is made of his services in framing the New Model Deed for the Church in the Colonies, and in the preparation of the Church Property Trust Act. Father Waterhouse is spoken of as a man of great Vigor and husiness ability, yet of rare gentleness and goodness. His last days were of intense suffering, jet of great joy and triumph. Munificent Gift to Oahu College. Our readers are already aware how prudently and liberally the Hon. Charles R. Bishop has been applying his large wealth to the help of Education in this Kingdom. We have now to record another noble gift. Not long since Mr. Bishop, writing from California, made the generous offer to donate the sum of $50,0(111 to the funds of Oahu College, on the condition that an equal sum should be raised by other friends of the institution, before the approaching Jubilee. By the mail of March 31st, orders have been received from Mr. Bishop to make over at once to the trustees the sum above named, in wellinvested securities, from which income will immediately accrue. We most warmly congratulate the old friends and patrons of the College, together with President Hosmer, upon this strong and needed reinforcement to their finances. And most of all, we congratulate the noble donor himself, upon so wise and serviceable an investment of his wealth.

THE MORAL CONSCIOUSNESS. There is another element in natural religion, which must not be ignored, viz.; the moral consciousness. To borrow the words of Kant, it is not only the "starry heaven above us," but also the " moral law in us," that testifies of God. The heathen, however, debased or perverted his moral sense may be, has a conscience, has terms for right and wrong, and some dim apprehension of the " Power not ourselves, that makes for Righti ousness," as Matthew Arnold has it. The ancient Hawaiians, at any rate, had some partial glimpses of the truth, and some crude notions of divine justice, of retribution and of expiation, which formed the basis of their system of sacrifices, and which were wisely turned to account by their first Christian teachers. Those missionaries fully understood how little it avails to merely induce a heathen tc adopt outward observances or to repeat religious formulas. Their great aim was to awaken his moral nature, to reach his heart and conscience, and their labors were signally blessed. WORSHIP OF THE DEAD. Though the "Ghost theory" ofSpencer and others is totally inadequate to account for religion as an historical fact, yet there is some truth in it. Both their observation and their own inner consciousness have led men of all races to perceive the distinction between soul and body, and a number ol causes aside from the phenomena of dreams and trances, have further led to the almost The universal belief in a future life. departed chieftain was then conceived of as still watching over the interests of his tribe, and the patriarch over his descendants. Hero worship and the worship of ancestors naturally arose from such a belief, and afterwards the elemental spirits of nature were conceived of as having a similar nature or as assuming human forms. In this way Nature-worship passed into Polytheism. Gods became male and female, and extensive systems of mythology grew up in course of time, which reflected the character of the races that imagined them. PRIESTCRAFT. The belief that men of superior intelligence can enter into communication with the great spirits of nature or with the deified dead, is common to all races. This led to the existence of a class of priests and sorcerers, some of whom �Volume 49, No. 4.] were supposed to uSe their power for benevolent and others for evil purposes. Standing thus between the community and the unseen powers, they were inevitably led to practise fraud to maintain their credit. They were impostors to a certain extent, but yet believers too. By slow degrees the priesthood be came an hereditary caste, and an elaborate ritual and system of ceremonial law or tabu grew up. CHARACTER OF THE HAWAIIAN RELIGION. 27 THE FRIEND. 1 were tutelar spirits, attached to particular families, and were generally, but not always, deified ancestors. If, as was often the case, they resided in a particular species of animals, as the shark, the eel, the owl, &o, then all animals nl lh.it species were tabu to the family. Bad could not be injured without fatal consequences. Diseases and accidents were often caused by the displeasure of these spirits, who had to he propitiated by prayers and offerings, which were different in different families. They were imagined to be jealously watching for an v infringement of tabu, but the most heinous lin in their eyes was neglect to perform a vow ("hoohiki"). On the other hand, the aumakuas some times befriended their devotees, and rescued them from danger. As the Hawaiian race is composite, so no doubt was theancient religion. It seems to have contained fragments of a simpler and grander creed, as in certaii. hymns and prayers addressed to Kane as the great father, "Kane-makua," and founder of the world, "Kane-kumu-honua."

The basis of it was their belief that all forms of disease were caused ancestors.

It was probably not till the Great Revival of 1838 that any large proportion of the common people were lifted out of their dismal and degrading superstitions into the " liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free." In regard to the retrograde tendencies of the last thirty years, I need not add any thing to the statements of Rev. J. Bicknell in the article referred to above. There is, however, reason to believe that the reaction has spent its force, and that a change for the better is taking place. There has not been any thing strange or unprecedented in this experience ot the Hawaiian people. In 18(15 a large part of the New Zealand Maories revolted against the moral restraints of Christianity, and set up in its place a grotesque mixture of Pagan and Romanist rites and doctrines, known as " Halthauisin.'' Our own Saxon ancestors, on the death of the good King Ethelbert in 616, relapsed into heathenism, so that all the missionaries but one abandoned England for a time. The same class of superstitions that has been found so hard to extirpate here, has always been the last to die out in othercountries. They outlive changes of language and civilization. In China the worship of ancestors is much older than Confucianism, Taoism or Buddhism, and is today the real national religion, deepest in the hearts of the people. In the Roman Empire the worship ol tutelar family deities, the "lares and penates," survived in the homage paid to patron saints, while the dreadful superstition of the " evil eye," the belief in tceiy and the use of amulets and charms, still prevail in all the countries bordering on the Mediterranean Se'. Many such remnants of pagan superstition still survive among the members of our own race, while no form of impostuie OT quackery, however gross, fails to find adherents among them. It is not for us to cast the first stone at the poor Hawaiian.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Mission-*, and the Editor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its content*. Rev. 0. P: Emerson, 31 THE FRIEND. - Editor. News has reached us by way of Sydney from the Gilbert Islands and Mr. Walkup, that the Ponape troubles had delayed the Star's arrival at Apaiang for the purpose of touring through the group four weeks. And then when she did come the westerly winds came, and to cap the climax the Star burst one of her two boilers. But we are thankful that nobody was hurt. Mr. Walkup reports that in spots the work is hopeful, but that there are spots which give a dark outlook. The stations to the extreme north and to the extreme south are in a bad condition. About one thousand in all throughout the group have died from the measles; those islands suffering the most which have been most exposed to foreign visitation. We have in this issue to chronicle the death of three most estimable Hawaiian clergymen; one, Rev. W. P. Kahale. late of Wailuku, died March 9th, a retired pastor; one, Rev. G. Leleo, died March Uth, a returned missionary ; and one, Rev. J. N. Paikuli of Waikane, died March 19th, while in the midst of his labors. It may be said of these men that they were progressive Hawaiians, another of the conservative element, and a third was a patient, self-sacrificing missionary. Mr. Kahale was as much a white man as a native in his feelings. He said to me once, and with a strong emphasis,—" Mr. Emerson, I am a white man, I think, and I feel with you." He seems to have had no race jealously. He had such respect for his spiritual teachers, among whom the lamented Rev. W. P. Alexander was chief, that he readily imbibed their spirit and doctrines. Mr. Kahale was a capable, energetic and fearless man, a man of much refinement and of a commanding presence. He was a man of large capacity and experience, and had the training of the best schools of his day. First a teacher, he was then a legislator, a judge, and finally a minister of the Gospel. In the last capacity, he was easily the foremost figure in the Maui presbytery. Indeed he was its scourge. Woe betide that young pastor who did not stand with due deference before his superiors. No infelicities in the order and discharge of the business of the Presbytery could escape his notice. He was a most loveable man, a gracious, courtly and generous host, thoughtful of his family and true in all his relations. Of the Rev. Mr. Paikuli, it may be" said that he was less amenable to the influence of his white brethren. He did not naturally cultivate their refinements. He was not given to taking tinbroader view. He was often governed by his prejudices. But he was, we believe, a most worthy and spiritually minded, though sometimes a mistaken man. He was remarkable for the intensity of his feelings. He was tender and generous as a friend and severe as an opponent. When once he got the truth he griped it with a tenacious hold. At times the force of a single truth, or a narrow view of the truth, would so possess him as to make his speech eloquent. Both of these men we mourn as beloved friends, and we wish that there were many more possessed of as worth}' and truth-loving a spirit. Rev. Mr. Leleo was a faithful, capable, self-sacrificing missionary to the Gilbert Islands where he labored for sixteen years ; first at Tarawa, then at Nonouti, and finally at Apaiang. Owing to failing health he returned to the Hawaiian Islands in KSB4; and during these last years of his residence among us he has been afflicted with blindness. The following letter was received last year, some months after the meeting of the Evangelical Association of the group. In view of the fact that, at the most, but one or two delegates could be reasonably chosen, it was thought best not to lay the matter before the Island Associations. And since action in the matter could not be deferred till the Annual Meeting of June of this year, the Hawaiian Board, which is the Executive Committee of the Evangelical Asso ciation, took the matter in hand and appointed as its Delegate the Hon. Lawrence McCully, First Assistant Justice of the Supreme Court. The Board feels itself fortunate in securing so able and acceptable a representative. The Judge and his family having previously determined on a continental tour can now combine service with pleasure. Mrs. McCully and daughter have already gone east, and the Judge expects soon to follow them. (Congregational Union of England and Wales.) Memorial Hall, Fakringdon Siri.ii. London, E. C, July 19th, 1890. Rev. 0. P. Emerson, Honolulu, H. I. Dear Sir: —You will doubtless have heard that it is proposed to hold an International Council of Congregationalists in London during July, 1891. We are indebted to the Rev. Henry A. Hazen of Boston, U. S. A., for information respecting your Body and I am instructed to ask if at your next meeting you will take into consideration the advisability of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association being represented, and if so, kindly forward me the names and addresses of the brethren appointed to represent ) our Bod} . Should there be any subject that you wish to have brought forward kindly send me particulars. As you see from the annexed the Council will be a limited representative and deliberative Body rather than a popular and general Assembly. It is therefore highly important that those who are appointed should be strictly and properly representative. The annexed minute has been so far modified that there will be one Chairman for the Council and several Assistants. Yours very truly, (Signed) Ai.kxandkr Hannay. FerD.B.H.

Submitted ad interim Report of the Special Committee on the projected International Council, when the following — Propositions were agreed to: 1. That the Conference be summoned for a week in the first half of the month of July, 1891, and meet in London. "2. That the sessions be continued throughout an entire week, and that, il practicable, arrangements be made for special services on the Sunday preceding and the Sunday following the meetings. 3. That the Autumnal Meeting for that year be held as usual, on the grounds (i) that, as at present proposed, only a very small number of members of the Union will be present at the Council in a representative capacity, and (ii) that questions may be raised in the Council which it will be desirable to submit to the Assembly of the Union at the earliest possible opportunity. 4. (a) That the Council be a deliberative, rather than of a popular character; but that popular meetings, both central and district, be held in connection with it: and that arrangements be made as practicable for the occupation of leading pulpits in London and the country by representative men from America, the Colonies, and elsewhere. (b) That the Council consist of about 30(1 members, ministerial and lay —say 100 for England, 100 for the United States of America, ?nd 100 for Wales, Ireland, Scotland, the Colonies, and the rest of the World. (c) That, taking the number 100 for England as a round number, it be made up as follows: (1) The members of the Special Committee now reporting 14 in number, or such of them as act on the Committee, to be members of the Council ex officio; 2ft to be appointed by the Committee of the Union; 40 to be appointed by the Council of the Church Aid Society ; the Colleges and Societies, including the London Missionary Society, to appoint '1ft —making a total of 10 1.

Sunday Evening Meetings. For some time past the younger members of the Association have been taking a more active part in the Sunday evening meetings and the good result is quite apparent, in the steady increase in interest and numbers. The earnest, honest words of young men spoken for the glory of the Mister will draw other young men and will do good. Let the good work go on. The meetings are held every .Sunday at halfpast six o'clock, and close in time to attend the church services. The topics for the month will be as follows: April 5. —Temperance. April 12.—A Rescue and a Song. Ps. 40:1 10. April 19.—A Secret and How to Find it Out. Ps. 26:14, Eph. 1:17-20. April 26.—The All-Powerful Name. Acts 4:7 22. In Convention. One of the most notable gatherings this year for Association men will be the International < onvention, which will convene in Kansas City, Mo., May 9 I-■ This will be preceded by the Secretaries' Conference to be held in St. Joseph, Mo., April 30 to May ). Both of these gatherings are of great value to any man engaged in Association work. Plans of work are discussed, new methods projected, individual views broadened and a personal inspiration gained that cannot be found elsewhere. The writer had expected to share in the pecu liar blessings of the above, but circum stances beyond our control have rendered an adverse decision. Y. M. C. A. Boys. While the Y. M. C. A. Boys are always glad to listen to interesting dis- criptions of other countries, yet they manifest an intense interest in any thing new concerning their own Sea-girt Isles. Last month they were treated to something new, entertaining and instructive by Mr. Joseph Emerson, of the Government Survey Department who had just returned from a six month's camping trip, being engaged in surveying the Kona coast on the island of Hawaii. The subject of the address was "Roughest Hawaii," and it seemed most appropriately applied to that portion of country, or to the necessary experience of both man and beast in traveling over its wild and unfrequented surface. Monthly Meeting. The last monthly meeting was held March 19, with President Walker in the chair. The meeting was not largely attended especially by the older members, some of whom were chairmen of committees. Those present reported, and some remarks were made by the President and others. Two new members were elected. A committee of three consisting of Messrs. J. B. Atherton, W. W. Hall and 11. W. Peck were appointed to prepare a list of names to be voted upon at the next meeting as officers of the Association for the coming year, which begins May Ist. The monthly meeting of April comes on the 16th, when the annual election of officers will take place. The Anniversary gathering with reports, addresses, announcements of committees for the new year, etc., will come a week or two later. Lecture. On Friday evening, March <>lh. the members and friends of the Association turned out in large numbers to a lecture kindly delivered by His Excellency John L. Stevens, U. S. Minister Resident. The subject was -'The Countries of the Rio dc la Plata." Mr. Stevens had resided at Montevideo for three years while a Diplomatic Representative of the United States, so he was thoroughly acquainted with the countries described and the moral and political conditions of the people. The lecture was very interesting and from it could be drawn many exceedingly valuable lessons for local application and profit. One Cause of Depression. "Very few persons realize what an enormous drain the saloons are making upon the resources of the country. These dens are collecting an annual tribute of from $12 to $14 apiece on an average from ever}' man, woman and child in the land, and in return for this they are supplying their customers with that which is worse than useless to them. As most of the money which passes over the saloon bar comes out of the pockets of persons of moderate means, it leaves them less able to purchase necessaries for themselves and their families. The farmer, the tailor, the shoemaker and the general storekeeper, suffer directly in the loss of a market amounting to from $700,000,(100 to $'.100,000,000 every year, on account of the money having been spent for liquor instead of going for bread and butter, eggs, milk, meat and clothes. The farmer gets back a percentage of his loss by finding a market at the brewery and distillery for grnm and hops, but it must be only a small percentage, because one dollar's worth of grain will make many dollars' worth immense revenue, of beer or whiskey at retail prices. To persons engaged in other business the money spent by their customers in the saloon is a pretty clean loss." The above editorial, from an Eastern newspaper, contains a great truth worthy the careful consideration of every person inclined to raise the cry of "hard times," whether in America, Hawaii or any other civilized land. Let the money now absorbed by the liquor traffic in Honolulu, be turned into the avenues of legitimate trade; business would at once be quickened, while cheer and comfort would come into a goodly number of hearts and homes now despoiled by the drink curse. In the ruins of Pompeii there was found a petrified woman, who, instead of trying to fly from the destroyed city, had spent her time in gathering dp her jewels. She saved neither her life nor jewels There are multitudes making the same mistake. In trying to get earth and heaven they lose both. "Ye cannot serve God and mammon." At a recent meeting an evangelist said: "An aged Christian woman was asked, 'Are you never troubled by the devil that you are always so cheerful ?' 'O yes, he often comes to my door, but I never bid him come in, nor give him a stool to sit on.' " Our Real Friends. It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell a man of his faults. If you are angi v with a man it is not hard to go to him and stab him with words and looks, stinging him to madness, or disgracing him in the presence of his foes. But so to love a man that you cannot hear to see the stain of sin upon him, and go to him alone and speak painful truths in touching, tender words, —that is friendship, and a friendship as rare as it is precious. Few, indeed, have such friends. Our friends are apt to pet us and llatter us, and justify us in all we do, and tell us that we are right when we are wrong, and they know it, and might correct us, but do not for fear they shall hurt our feelings. The Bishop Museum. We learn that the objects of Hawaiian antiquity and art, now in progress of arrangement by Prof. Brigham, will more than fill the splendid new building. Mr. Bishop has accordingly determined to proceed with the erection of a large addition, to be occupied with similar objects representing the other islands of Oceanica. Negotiations are already in progress for extensive acquisitions by exchange and purchase from collections in Australia and New Zealand. �3 THE FRIEND.

And it is es- rural and urban, are of the highest order. pecially painful that El Globo and El The common people are wonderfully An article on this subject appears in Liberal, the leading republican papers, educated. " The poorest rustic in Savothe Independent of February 19th, from as well as El Imparcial and La Epoca, laka or Ostrobothnia reads his daily Rev. William H. Gulick, San Sebastian, monarchical, join in bitter complaint of paper and takes an intelligent intereBt Spain. "F"or a week the Spanish press has been ringing with the news of a sanguinary encounter between the Spanish troops and the natives, in the latter part of November. This news seems to have been first received in the brief dispatches via San Francisco and London, but is confirmed and amplified by letters from Manila received in Madrid on the twelfth of January, and which have just appeared in the Madrid papers. "On the twenty-second of November, active operations began. The attack was made at Metalanim. The landing of the troops was effected with difficulty, in water up to the waist, and the advance on land was no less difficult, through swamps and almost impenetrable thickets, and over impassable roads. "When the troops met the main body of the natives, they were found strongly lodged behind a triple line of intrenchments. The first was of stone, nearly five feet high, and flanked by a deep ditch; then a space covered with bushes, in which were concealed snares and thorns and broken glass, to pass over which caused cruel wounds to the feet and legs of the soldiers; and, lastly, a palisade, strongly built of trunks of trees and bamboos, and another ditch. All this we took, Bays the chronicle of El Globo; all fell into our hands by a skillful f)ank movement not expected by the Methodist Yankees, who undoubtedly directed the defense: but it cost the lives of eight)' men, and some of the paper! insist that in the different columns operating against the natives during those three or four days, not less than three hundred of the Government troops lost their lives." "The Spanish press is greatly excited over the news, and there is much bitterness of feeling at the thought of good Spanish blood being shed by those 'savages,' and the demand is made that it should he promptly avenged." El Globo says: " Listening to the voice of patriotism, let us not stop to ask what profit there may be to us in a sovereignty gained and exercised at such great cost. Nor will we stop to throw the responsibility on this or that political part)': but in view of the attitude of the Methodists [sic], before expelling them we must demand from the Government at Washington such indemnity as is reported the)' are claiming of us ! "We strenuously oppose the fatal system of sending repeated but insufficient re-enforcements, which only serve the purpose of slaughtering Spanish soldiers and of spending enormous sums of the American missionaries as the cause of all the trouble." Our readers will remember that the last remaining members of the American Mission at Ponape, alias "Methodist Yankees," had been removed to Kusaie by the U. S. S. Alliance one month before the military operations described above, and therefore could have had no part in the resistance made by the natives. On the contrary, our missionaries have always earnestly counselled the Ponape natives to submit to their Spanish rulers. We can only pray that God will interpose for the deliverance of the oppressed Christian people of Ponape. No human help is in sight for them. Prohibition in Finland. - The Grand Duchy of Finland received from the Czar of Ruya in 1863, a great enlargement of its constitutional privileges. E. B. Lanin in the Fortnightly Review makes some important statements of the excellent results of this liberal government. " Finland," he says, assuredly the best-governed country "inisEurope." During the previous halfcentury, drunkenness was the bane of that country, as it still is the ruin of Russia. The Finnish Diet, however, fearlessly tackled the Hydra with very simple weapons ; local option for the country districts, control and restrictive measures for the cities, encouragement offered to all societies doing battle with intemperance ; and the rapid spread of education and instruction." The country communes absolutely forbade the sale of alcoholic liquors in the rural districts. " You might now travel on foot from Terrioke to Tornea, from Kepola to Geta without meeting or hearing of a single drunken man, and if you were dying of exhaustion, the chances are that you could not purchase a thimbleful of spirits." In eight towns, spirits arc sold under the most stringent restrictions ; drunkenness is rendered easy to deal with, and all public-houses arc closed on fair and market days and popular holidays. Many private societies are doing most efficient work, some to bring about total and universal abstinence, others to provide attractive refreshment-rooms, cosy coffee-houses, well-lighted readingrooms, etc., to keep the tempted from the evil. Other societies run publichouses themselves under rigid inspection, with pure liquors and perfect good order. At Helsingfors a palatial library and reading-room is open, to which the money." Mr. Gulick adds: "This from El workmen flock in thousands in autumn Globo, which was so just and moderate and winter. on the occasion of the insurrection of The public schools of Finland both " in literature." Immense impetus has been given to agriculture and handicraft among the peasantry by technical and agricultural schools. The best agricultural machines and implements are in general use. A network of 1,400 miles of railway is run by the State. There are few large landholders. Ninety-nine per cent, are peasant and small proprietors. Finland seems to be indeed a wonderfully well-ordered country. A Jewish Defense of Christianity. The Brooklyn Eagle of December 23rd contains an argument made by Jews in defense of Christianity, from which we give the following extracts: * * Could a fraud or delusion have stood the trials and tests which Christianity has stood and have held its ground in every instance, and have gone forward with giant strides, till it is now the most liberal and progressive religion that the world has ever seen, a religion adapted to even country and every people upon this globe? Other religions are, and have been, always sectional, each having its own special district or country (Judaism alone excepted), and although we do not believe the Christians are right, we must nevertheless wonder al the rapid progress and the gigantic proportions to which the Christian religion has grown. What would this world have been if the Christian religion had not come into it ? Judaism would certainly not have developed into such a grand and sweeping system. We Jews were but a handful of the world's population, and we were always a secluded people, keeping to ourselves and looking at other nations as inferior, not trying to raise others above paganism, but shunning and'despising them. Christianity, on the other hand, is seeking out every nation and people, converting and making them better, and we Jews to-day enjoy the greatest benefits in countries where the people live the nearest to the teachings of their leader, Jesus Christ. Be he a myth or a reality, his teachings, without doubt, improve all who follow them. Then the Christian religion shows no sign of weakness, but is stronger than ever, and gaining in strength, while all the other religions are on the decline, receding before the rapid advance of Christianity. * * Since the time of Christ there has not arisen among us one prophet to oppose Christ as an impostor. * * * It is a very common thing for us to say that such a person as Jesus Christ did never exist, * * while there is very good evidence to prove that he did live, and that he came just at the time when the Jewish nation were looking for the • �THE FRIEND. * * Now we as honest, free-thinking men, admit that we are in doubt, and if any one can prove that the Messiah is yet to come, we would very much like to hear from CO., LIMITED, HAWAIIAN HARDWARE - Rodei-elt, Israel Posner, Marx Levy, Committee American Hebrew Freethinker's Association.

The other day, a statement was read to us from an official letter to the Board of Health, from their excellent physician ;tt the leper settlement, to the effect that several of the kokuas or private helpers there had applied to him to inoculate them with the virus, in order to become lepers, and so entitled to free government rations. He was certain that he could any day get twenty men to be made lepers, in older to live in comfort without labor on the beautiful lands of Kalaupapa. It seems likely that these people, who had been so willing to live with the lepers who hire them, represent only thai class of natives who aie most careless about the disease. We would not impute such feelings to the great body of the native people. But it is distressing to think of any persons so insensible to the loathsomeness of the malady and of its ultimate fatality as actually to desire to contract it for the sake ot a tew years of idle comfort., Quite parallel to this debased disposition, however, is one found among our enlightened and cultivated .people, such as read about those kvkuas with wondering disgust. Among white men of cultivation, there prevails an evil disease called Dipsomania. The victim of it is afflicted with an oft-recurring craving for alcoholic drink which is practically irresistible. These persons, in spite of the best resolutions and the kindest in- In its external effects this malady is often even more disgusting than leprosy, and generally renders its victim a much more disagreeable member of society, and far more dangerous. Dipsomania is contracted by the process of frequent indulgence in the use of beer, wine, brandy, whiskey, and other common alcoholic beverages. A large proportion of Dipsomaniacs become such gradually in the course of what they consider a moderate and temperate use of those drinks. The appetite insidiously grew with the habit of drinking: larger quantities became necessary to slake thirst and brace up the nerves. Before they were aware, the nervous system itself became diseased in a hopeless manner, and Dipsomania became established in the system. Xow, the parallel to those poor kokuas which we find among enlightened people in society is this: that large numbers of them expose themselves and their children to this shameful disease of Dipsomania in the most reckless manner. One meets daily on the street young men of fine social pretensions whose complexion and breath show that they are habitual drinkers. They are cheerfully- getting inoculated with Dipsomania for the sake of the comfort of "bracing up." It is certain that some —probably many—of them will be destroyed by it, in a most shameful and pitiable manner. There are quite a number of disgusting wrecks about town in advanced stages of the disease, who, a few years ago, carried their heads as high as any of our cheerful young imbibers. Strangest of all, cultured parents are found actually teaching their children to use wine and ale in a "temperate" manner, yet so as to endanger a fixed appetite for alcohol. They would shudder at the thought of a leper washing NUMIIER 5. 3 HONOLULU. Volume 49. those children's clothes, yet calmly expose them to a worse disease. A friend said to us lately, "I would far rather have my son a leper, than to have him a drunkard," and we heartily agree with him. One destroys only the body; the other, both body and soul. The truth is, that most white people have got enlightened enough to abhor leprosy, and to wonder at people who are willing to contract that disease. But they are still in a state of dense obtuseness about the more shameful and disA tressing disease of Dipsomania. hundred years ago, it was considered quite the thing for gentlemen to be drunk every night. A century hence, we believe that a leper will be sooner tolerated in decent society than any man who habitually uses, or who deals in alcoholic stimulants. Let us not look down too disdainfully on those poor kokuas at Kalaupapa, so long as we show little more sense. Heathen Braises oe Royalty.—Mr. Walkup's graphic allusions to the heathen choir of King Tembinoka of Apemama, sent to seduce the Tarawa king back to paganism, are very suggestive. We have seen a good deal of such deviltries in Hawaii. Heathen princes enjoy being treated as gods or Lanis. All this is incompatible with civilized government. We are glad to say that we hear of nothing of this sort in the court of Liliuokalani, who, we trust, will ever deserve the esteem and confidence of her foreign and native subjects. The Bishop Museum.—A stolen glance into the building, the other day, revealed an interior of most rich and elaborate cabinet work, glass cases and tiled floors. Many important objects were in place, such as kahilis and carved work. Great quantities of curiosities were awaiting arrangement. Of such there is a wonderful wealth and variety. The main school building makai of the Museum is fast approaching completion. It will be a leading specimen of Honolulu architecture. �34 HAWAXIAX BOABB. HONOLULU H. I. Thin page is devoted to the .literals uf the H.tw:ui.ui Board of Mission*, and the Kditor, appointed by the Hoard is rer-pon-tible for its content*. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. The Portuguese mission in Hilo, Hawaii, under the charge of Robert K. Baptist, has been steadily growing in importance. Quite a congregation and Sabbath School have been gathered. It has been decided that this mission must have a habitation and a name. A lot must be purchased and a chapel erected. Some $1,750 have been raised for the purpose, and about $1,250 more are needed. This is a cause which should appeal to all who love the truth and who are friendly to our Portuguese neighbors. There is urgent reason for prompt action in this matter. Who of our friends will forthwith respond to the appeal which we now make for help? We have word from the Rooms of the A.B.C.F.M. (March 28th) that "definite information" has been received "of a further conflict between the Spaniards and the Ponapeans, in which, as usual, the loss of life was very great on the part of the Spaniards and very slight on the part of the Islanders. Mr. Rand estimates the number of Spaniards who have lost their lives thus far in the war between four and five hundred, and the natives scarcely more than one or o score." t For our April issue we wrote, " It may be said of these men (Revs. Kaliale, Paikuli and Leleo), that they were representative Hawaiians; one of the progressive and another of the conservative element, and a third was a patient, selfsacrificing missionary." By a mistake it was printed otherwise, so the point we had in view was lost. On the Sabbath of the 20th of April, M. Kzera, a student of four years standing in the Institute, was ordained and installed pastor of the church at Ewa of this island. All the native pastors on the island, with one exception, were present, and there was also a congregation of over a hundred. The examination, which began at 10 a. M., was well sustained. Immediately after came the services. Rev. Dr. Hyde preaching the sermon for his pupil. From first to last the services held the close attention of the audience and were full of profit and ol interest. The Kwa church has a good house of worship and parsonage, and we believe, now, after waiting two years, a good pastor, and if, in the growth ol Pearl City or of Honouliuli Plantation Hawaiians become more plentiful in thai region, this church which was ministered to for so long a time by our departed father Bishop has still a hopeful fu- J. ture. IMay. 1891 THE FRIEND. We print below the report which Mr. Walkup sends of his late tour through the Gilbert Islands. It gives both an interesting and a hopeful view of the work. Mr. Walkup's present address is Munda, Ills. Gilbert Island Tour, 1890. In going out without a launch it seemed best to be left at Apaiang and visit Tarawa from there in a sailing boat, before return of Morning Star for the first tour. Mr. Channon took Catechist Taing and seven of his schoolboys to Kusaie. This Taing, assisted by Mr. Boari, had had a day school of eighty in the Mission yard, ami some twenty of the young men and women living in the Mission yard. This school showed goml work mentally, but play and lewd wrestling had hindered the moral and spiritual development. After the Morning Star had gone I heard that Taing had been suspected. and investigation brought out the fact that he had sinned; also, at least one boy—like himself unworthy to go to Kusaie (when the rumor got out at Kusaie he denied it, until my arrival, when he owned it and told me more than I knew). Catechist Teraoi had another school five miles away of (15, which showed the best drill and most of the Spirit's influence of any school I have visited. Beside these schools were six others, but they were not supplied with books— thus the progress was slow. All the books had been sold $135 worth. Then I had $70 worth more of books which I sold, yet the 310 scholars are not supplied. On the tour of the Island we visited twelve villages, and neatly all the younger people wish to become Christians. Surely the whole of Apaiang is "white already to harvest." In the mission village we held meetings twice a day, with several hundred enquirers. Nearly all the backslidden church members asked to be helped. Then forty-seven others not enrolled, reported themselves as baptized, and wished to be enrolled. (Some had been baptized on Apaiang and some elsewhere, while one had been baptized twice or thrice.) There are now on the roll 550 names: of these 355 are living on Apaiang (twenty-nine on Tarawa), but only I9H are in regular standing, and 110 communed. Our first Gilbert Island Minister, Rev. M. Kaure (ordained at Honolulu), takes charge of this fold. This brother takes hold of tbe work with a zeal that I trust is the work of the Holy Spirit, and the people showed their appreciation by subscribing $300 as his support. Twelve candidates were baptized while fifty one renewed their covenant. Several couples wish to be trained at Kusaie for Christian workers. A "Woman's Board" of — over 1011 members are to send two Bible-readers to each villagr and house. The King will support the -ix schools, and has proclaimed a compulsory school law. Much cobra had been collected for the Watchman (the name of the pro- posed launch). Tarawa I was anxious about, as the measles quarantine hindered the visit last year. Catechist Tibwere had held a school of forty, standing linn; while loane, Turubo (Catechist) had got under a cloud and his school suit -red, while Betero, not intellectual enough to keep up a school, had two church buildings under way. The king and his goven •tent slack. His secretary having lost the written laws, be wished them written in his book. He and his chiefs dictated twentyfour, and they were written in red ink. On our first tour we visited ten villages, and had large congregations. Most of the church members reported themselves and their condition, backslidden or firm. Then hundreds of enquirer- wished to be taught. Surely another field white. Returning to Apaiang to meet the Morning Star we heard of an enemy sowing tares. Thus we returned when the Morning Star was overdue. The enemy was a company sent by King Binoka of Apemama—Satan's tool. The business of this party of twenty was first, to rehearse and dance a poem, extolling the King of Tarawa and a mistress (concubine) King Binoka sent him; second, to advise him to keep above the teachers, and not listen to them, or "do as I do." They arrived just after the new code of laws had been ratified and celebrated with great pomp. The laws had been read and approved by uplifted hands of the people, then a march up and down the newly graded street as many times as each had a change of clothes (three long processions.) The poem was talked about, and the laws mentioned, but the King's vanity overcame him, and he decided as they advised, that they, the foreigners, were strangers, and the law did not apply to them. Thus they were feasted and listened to, and the King took them all along the island for his people to hear of his renown and to feast them. On their arrival at the village where Tibwere has his school, and were about to enter the "big house" they saw a table with books, and got frightened and left. (These dancers were church members once, but King Binoka frightened them into dancing.) Tibwere, who had already rebuked the King, was blamed, and the King, spurred on by his guests, caught up a rumor, and said Tibweie must leave and the School disband. I arrived just in time, and had the King investigate the charges against him (Tibwere), and when he found no truth in the rumors, I had a good opportunity to instruct him and ask which he would serve, Binoka or Jehovah, when he answered Jehovah, I read 2 John 10, 11. - �Volume 49, No. 5.] 35 THE FRIEND. Catechist Teroai also made him a speech evening class, for choir rehearsal and toured the length of the island (thirty and said as he was coming to teach school, to report as encouraging. I held miles) inducing many to give up their him and his people the Bible, that il they transgressed he would rebuke them. We visited five villages that we did not on the first tour, then held a com munioi since. Out of the .". <l names on the roll we only found 247; but I I" others reported themselves as baptized by Rev. Lutera and wished to be registered. (+B7 are now on the roll of which 42 I are on the island.) As near as we could learn, about 10i of these unshepherded sheep have not dishonored their Master. Revs. Kanoho, Kaure and myself, examined and ordained Catechist Teraoi, after I I years work, to the Gospel ministry, (The second Gilbert Island mm ister.) He takes this fold, and their subscription is f'JOfl toward his support. On Marakei there had been much heathenism. Traders bad been selling the natives liquor, but hail been rebuked and reported by U. S. Cum. Agent. A. Rick, to Secretary of Navy, asking for a U. S. Man-of-war to visit the group. Then word of my touring on Apaiang and Tarawa had reached them, and also that I would make a tour of Marakei. Thus the traders stopped selling liquor and Rev. Kanoho and the few faithful members were encouraged and started six schools. Hearing the news on Tarawa, and having a fair wind, we made Maraki i in the open boat. The leading trader visited me and said they would nut sell liquor, and would abidt by any laws that the chiefs would make. I first had a service with the church, then one with the chiefs-from Isaiah's prophesy, then the next morning as the chiefs came to ask me to help them is tablish a government, the Morning Star was seen passing by towards Apaiang; so we had to chase the Star to Apaiang, and postpone until our arrival in the Star, when we advised the duels, thai had been recognized by 11.

Passing this Island a week later we called, and the two services and tried to awaken them, heathenism. We only stopped one day not expecting to visit them again on landing supplies, intending to return and this tour, but in arriving on February 15th we found a congregation assembled of fully -101l and a l.rge group of children in Sabbath school.

All the books left last year went in a day, ($47.--50) and some 400 have attended the three schools. The German Governor bothers the teachers with a "Ad tape" law about building, but their dwelling houses are finally fit ished, and a fine of 500 marks remitted by the "Commissioner" from Jaluij. Now the Governor taboos church building until he is asked by the people (independently of the teachers), which the chiefs take as an insult and restraint. Most all understand the Gilbert language now, while the scholars are real parrots in reciting verses and catechisms. Many wished baptism, but I had to delay it until another visit, as there was a schism among the teachers. I ought to have a stay of at least three weeks on this Island with 1,500 people, separate from any other Island, and divided into twelve tribes, among themselves. REMARKS IN GENERAL. The '•Morning Star" was a month or 4 weeks late to* commence what was to be the first tour, leaving Kusaie Oct. 10, touching at Jaluij for coal and using it up, in reaching Apaiang lit day s out. Then November is the time for our westerly winds and winter, when we have a winter. So while we were at Maiana, with no passage into Lagoon deep enough for the "Morning Star," she had to put to sea, and then on coming back to supply the teachers, had to go to Tarawa for shelter, six days more blowing a gale. This storm changed the current from running westto running east r ( >0 or GO miles a day. Between Maiana and Apemama one boiler burst. The '•Morning Star" was light and commenced taking ballast at Tarawa; then 5 loads at Marakei; thus on between Tapiteuea and Banaba only 306 miles, but current against us, and light winds favorable. Coal could not be spared for steaming (but the two engineers' wages vver. tbe same.) Using ten days when most years one and onehalf days would take us there. At Banaba tile '•Morning Star" took several tons rock ballast and started steaming for Pleasant Island. 105 miles, but too late. Another strong west wind came Ist. �36 up and detained us, tossing about two weeks. If we could have steamed on leaving Tapiteuea we should have been three weeks ahead and away from Pleasant Island before the* west wind, which would have helped us either back to Tapiteuea or on to Kusaie (N.N.W.course). On leaving Pleasant Island, returning to Tapiteuea as planned, was out of the question for two reasons: one, Miss Smith had suffered so much already she could not stand more voyaging—then no time. We have used thirteen weeks, instead of nine planned, out of nineteen weeks for Gilbert Island; then the four weeks detention must come out somewhere. About two weeks left and Captain Garland thinks he can stretch out his supplies a week or two, say four weeks more at most. Only two to go to Apaiang for manuscript. What have I ac complished ? I have had out of the thirteen weeks only twenty-four days at the islands (including four sabbaths) while the "Morning Star" was sixty-nine days making a distance of less than 2,000 M., less than thirty miles a day instead of 100 that the "Star" ought to average, if she had auxiliary power worth mentioning. Just one more example of the "Morning Star's" speed, Feb. 16. She left Butaritari for the Marshalls, head wind. Feb. 17th I left on "Equator" just twenty-four hours later, for San Francisco. Feb. 18th. After sailing twenty-four hours making twenty miles to Fast, we sighted the "Morning Star" ten miles to the leeward, and left them. You can imagine how Captain Garland, Dr. Pease and party felt about it. 2nd. Encouragements. To see what I saw in those twelve weeks on the white fields of Apaiang and Tarawa. The former was our home in 1880-1882, and the little children that were so cunning, and used to run and roll in the sand, are now young people working either for or against, with so many enlisted now for Christ. Then on Nonouti, the work that I became so acquainted with, in those seventeen weeks last year is moving on nicely. Also other Islands are waiting for the .same help, as Marakei,Makin, Butaritari, Banaba, Pleasant Island; then Maiana, with Tapiteuea would soon be white with plenty of faithful work, while Apemama, Kuria and Aranuka people would all welcome us, if the King Binoka was turned, or out of the way. Then the Hawaiian Missionaries now on the field, seem to be awakened to a need of work. The two Gilbert Island ministers apprexiate their sacred calling, and go to work with a holy zeal, with so many of the other teachers faithful. Paul not only mentions "De*mas hath forsaken me, but all men forsook me." A good wide awake spiritual family in the training school at Kusaie, with two of the old boys and new ones preparing for work. Then an energetic young THE FRIEND. woman has begun in the "Girls' School," so much needed. Then the reinforcement we had from the school to our work this year. Four of the boys got helpmates, which they ought to have had two years ago. Yet there is anothei side, or what we will call 3rd. Discouragements in the work and prospects. 1 regret greatly that I missed that twelve weeks' visit planned for Tapiteuea. Now I hear the Roman Catholic priests have gone over from Nonouti to catch and hold in ignorance all they can. Two of the Hawaiian missionaries on the field are quite old, and have been long on the islands and need rest. Then I was disappointed that only two of the catechist! seemed to have a call for ordination where I bad hoped that four or five might be. One of the married teachers left—Demas fashion while two of the schoolboys went into sin, and will have a term of probation before teaching. Then this Tiang that Mr. Channon took as his assistant, proving a rascal and thus crippling the school work. Then Mr. Channon failing of a visit in the group to see with his own eyes the need of and the kind of teachers. I trust the Morning Star will take him three couples that I recommended from Apaiang, as she touches there to get the revised manuscript for O. T. That training school ought to have two families and from seventy to 100 scholars in training for the 25,000 people we must guide. Then the "Girls' School," to lose Miss Smith as she is ready to do the best work. Then what is the taking of only sixteen girls in comparison with our future need for women helpers, not to say now. There are five boys that would do better if they had helpmates at once. Yes, fifty girls from the Gilbert Islands would be few enough. One item in connection with the measles last year. The Morning Star only left them at Apaiang, but a labor vessel brought them also, and they have been to every island except Banaba. Over 1,000 are reported mostly by count to have died either of the measles or after effects, 500 in Tapiteuea, 250 on Nonouti (seventy in one village), 110 on Tarawa, 101 on Apaiang, thirty on Marakie, and so on, but only two or three on Pleasant Island and very few on Butaritari. The quarantine was useless, as I said then, as they would be carried to Tarawa on canoes and on to Marakie, and then on and on. This going from island to island in open boats is dangerous voyaging. The King of Apaiang kindly offered us his large $400 boat (30 ft. boat), wide beam. Then the princess visited with us, her relatives, the former royal family of Tarawa. In returning, while crossing the channel of only seven miles and leading wind, we were carried by current nearly past Apaiang, so it took us beating and rowing nineteen hours, when we ought to have been not over six. After that [May, 18D1. we took warning to go only with the fairest wind. A. C. Wai KIT. Bishop Walkup.—The devoted and very fruitful labors of Rev. A. C. Walkup in the Gilbert Islands, during the past two years, illustrate the value of a genuine Episcopal supervision and stimulus upon native pastors and catechists. Brother Walkup possesses much experience, active force and a warm heart. He seems also to be sensibly endowed with the Holy Spirit's power, by no figment of "Apostolic Succession," but as every servant of God may be, like Coan, Lyons or Lowell Smith. He seems to have conveyed a revival work through the group, and to have left schools and churches in a lively condition, with heathen chantings and abominations quailing before the power of the Gospel. It will evidently make an immense difference with the Gilbert work during the next ten years, whether the catechists and preachers trained in the school at Kusaie shall enjoy frequent and competent Episcopal visitation or not during that time. Left to themselves, or with only an annual hasty call, they will accomplish little in comparison with what they will do under efficient leadership. We do not feel able to judge whether Mr. Walkup's plan for a steam launch is the best one for promoting such visitations, but it is to he hoped that some such facility may be provided to enable the needed visitations to be made. Crippled Morning Star.—Our missionary ship, thanks to Boston poor bungling, was never half a sailer, and never had but a few sheep-power of steam, which two engineers had all they could do to keep in order. Now that one boiler has given out, she is nearly unable to work against wind and current at all. In these days of triple compound engines and deck bolsters, such as our swift Hawaii coasters are fitted with, it is simply a disgrace to have our Sttir creeping about with her blunt lines and botchy engine: Not even a donkeyengine to hoist in her boats, or lift her anchors. We hope the next Star will be built in California, where they know how to make ships. The Prof. Huxley's animadversions upon the great scheme of General Booth are published in a volume entitled "Social Diseases and Worse Remedies." The book bears the motto, "Six-penny-worth of good, and a shilling's worth of harm," beneath which (significantly, the Pall Mall Gazette thinks) is the intimation, "Price, one shilling net." �Volume 49, No. 5.] Rev. Luther Halsey Gulick. M. D. We hear, with great sorrow, of the death of this dear and honored brother, April Bth, at the house of his son, Dr. Luther Gulick, at Springfield, Mass. He had been, for more than a year, in broken health, the effect of a life of arduous missionary toil in many lands, He was the oldest child of Rev. Peter J. and Mrs. Fanny H. T. Gulick, born in Honolulu, June 10, 1828. Graduating from the N. Y. University Medical College in 1850, and having also taken a theological course and received ordination in 18'il, he sailed, November iMh, from Boston with Rev. Messrs. Snow and Sturges for the Caroline Islands, via Honolulu. He had been married, October 29th, to Miss Louisa Lewis of New York City. After a visit in this his native land, during which he was the chief organizer of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, he left, July 15, 18452, for Ponape, where he began pioneer work with Mr. Sturges, Mr. Snow being stationed at Kusaie. Mr. and Mrs. Gulick there experienced many privations, and were active in labors, gaining most important experience in missionary work and the native character. About 1860, Dr. Gulick joined Rev. Dr. Pierson at Ebon to initiate the Mission to the Marshall Islands. Recuperation being needed, he came with his family to Honolulu in 1681, going on to the States that year. He at once (lis tinguished himself by his eloquent and tactful appeals to the churches, and was actively employed by the American Board iif such work. In the meantime. Dr. Anderson had visited these Islands. and caused the organisation of the Mission on new lines, with the Hawaiian Board. By his recommendation. Dr. Gulick was sent for to become Corns ponding Secretary, and entered upon the arduous labors of that office about the end of 1863. His labors were of the highest value, and earned the most affectionate regard ofthe native churches and pastors, as well as of his brother missionaries. At this time Mr. am! Mrs. Gulick began the Kawaiahao Female Seminary, as a small family school on the same premises, now extended and grown into the present large institution. 'In 1870 he went to the States, and served for a time as one of the district Secretaries of the American Board.

Variety was given to the reading of reports by a solo by Mr. Earnest Lyman and a duet by Mr. A. D.

One for organization; two with reference to the Evangelistic services; one to make arrangements tor tile week of prayer. This has been .# year of progress m many ways. Early in the year the Y. M. C. A. secured the services of S. M.

The plan of work for the year has been much the same as last year, via. To have the leaders chosen from, and the devotional work done by, the younger members as much as possible. The result has been that we hear not a few voices in our meetings, and some of those whom we only heard occasionally before, now take an active part in the work. Your committee bayc also been loyally supported in these efforts by the older members of the Association. The Sunday Evening Meetings have become more spirited and earnest.

Mr. Sayford come by invitation oi the As sociation, hut the Churches united in the meetings which were held from May llth to June Ist. The weather was most unfavorable, as it proved to he a period of intense heat, but a good interest was awakened at the beginning of the meetings which continued to deepen and widen until the close. Hesides those started heavenward for the first time, many already on the way received a spiritual uplift that has made them happier Christians and more useful during tbe year. Our old friend H. J. McCoy, General Secretary of the San Francisco Association, came with Mr. Sayford for the change and rest that a month in our tropical city would give. His genial presence and earnest words were an inspiration to all, and an element of power in the meetings. The expenses of the mission were defrayed by special subscription generously made by our Christian citizens interested m the work. So there was no tax upon the regular funds of the Y. M. C. A. Treasury, Your Secretary organized a promising class for special Bible Study the middle of October. Later Rev. A. N. Fisher was invited to become teacher and kindly' consented; but through the illness of both teachers the class was discontinued in January, no competent teacher being found available to continue it longer. The "Week ol Prayer" was observed as usual by holding special meetings on five days of the week, and on Sunday the work of the International Committee was presented. The collection taken grew, with a little outside encouragement, to $10, which was sent to the Treasurer of the Committee, The progress of the Tempi ranee Cause lor the last year or two can be summed up about as General Jackson's negro "Tom" described a defeat his master was meeting during the American Rebel- lion: returning from the scene oi conflict, I 26 he was asked, "'Tom, what of the battle ?" 50 .Not wanting to admit the defeat, he re 40 (HI plied: "Massa adJohnson's ittroops are So seems about 13,006 54 vancing- backward. .500 temperance reform.

In the past years the Association come the new year, which has now has used moral suasion in public meetings and in personal entreaty, but all to passed into history. The beginning of the year was devoted little purpose so long as a man could go to special Gospel work, under the leader- out of a temperance meeting, where heship of Mr. S. M. Sayford, a prominent had signed the pledge, only rt> be enticed ■: i • into an attractive licensed saloon and fed on fire-water, as has bei n the case more than once in Honolulu. Last spring, the committee on Temperance work was augmented by the appointment of a special committee to secure, if possible, some needed temperance legislation by the introduction of certain bills into the Legislature then in session; also to prepare a statement of facts concerning the liquor traffic and its fruits in this kingdom, a copy to be printed in two languages, placed in the hand of each legislator, and circulated in the community to stimulate temperance The committee labored sentiment. most faithfully to accomplish their purpose, but only partially succeeded. The most needed measure was defeated, for gin is prominent in law-making as well as supreme in drunkard-making. The Committee for Visitation of the Sick have called upon young men when known to be sick whether members of the Association or not, always ready to render any service possible to those in need. The Hospital has been visited regularly, and such interest expressed and words of cheer spoken as circumstances seemed to warrant. At the Prison occasional visits have been made and a few Sunday services held, but the need for work there has been very fully met by workers not connected with the Y. M.'C. A. Our harbor affords a large field for work among the Sailors, but little has been done by an)- body proportionate to the needs of the field. The Church and tin- \V. C. T. U. have done something, and the Association has given a helping hand in the Way of visitation on shipboard, distribution of reading matter papers, tracts, testaments, etc., and extending invitations to visit the Y. M. C. A. rooms. A considerable number among the patrons of our rooms have been men from the vessels in port. Hesides the local distribution of literature, 1,342 newspapers and 58.r magazines have been placed upon long voyage vessels. The increase of information abroad concerning this country, and the numerous and comfortable means of voyaging hither, have attracted to our city a larger number of nun in search of employment during the past year than during any previous year of our work. The efficient and patient Chairman of the Kmploymcnt Committee has kept a pretty full list of applicants, which shows them to have represented the following numerous callings: One each boiler maker, mill wright, plumber, harness maker, teacher, gardener, surveyor, type writer and wheel wright; two each ranchers, cooks and storekeepers; three each printers, painters, -quarry men, sugar boilers, well borers and steam plow workers; four each sailors, farmers and salesmen; five each railroad constructors and hostlers; seven each machinists, engineers and — > �Volume 49, No. 5.] masons; ten blacksmiths; fifteen clerks; sixteen hook-keepers; twenty-two. no teamsters; occupation; twenty four twenty-six carpenters; forty lunas. Through the efforts of the Committee thirty-four of the above 22!) applicants have found employment, seventeen (and presumably more) have themselves found employment, some of the balance are still around town, while the majority have probably scattered over the islands, or passed on to more promising fields of fortune. There have been many applications from strangers who came down to this country to "try their luck;" it has been much more difficult to help them than it has skilled mechanics or those who were accustomed to some kind of plantation work, the calls being principally for the latter class. Not so many entertainments have been given by the Association during the past year as formerly, for the reasons that our small community has seemed to he surfeited with entertainments of one kind and another; then many of the young men for whose pleasure and profit our entertainments are provided, without charge to them, and often including refreshments, seem to prefer some kind of diversion that costs them more but is worthless; and again, we have not been so highly favored with available talent among the travelers and visitors last year as in previous years. The two lectures by Prof. W. T. Hrigham on "Physical Culture" were of a high order of merit, largely attended, and much appreciated. His Lxcellency John L. Stevens, U. S. Minister, delivered an excellent lecture to a hall full of interested listeners on the "Countries of the Rio dc la Plata" of South America. A most able and instructive lecture was delivered a few weeks ago by Mr. F. M. English, P. A., who took tor his subject " Rome— Past and Present," and had the deserved compliment of a good audience on a bad evening. One of the pleasantest socials held was on the evening of October 22d, which took the form of a Reception to a party of Y. M. C. A. workers from California. The Welcome Committee have done good service as ushers, and been otherwise useful about the rooms, at the meetings and other gatherings, especially in the earlier part of the year. The Finance Committee have attended to their substantial duties in their usual efficient manner, as indicated by the nest-egg balance in the Treasurer's report. Upon the tables in the Reading Room are to be found two daily newspapers, thirty-seven weeklies (seven illustrated), four monthlies and eight monthly magazines, making a total of fifty-one periodicals in four different languages. Five of the above are contributed by friends, the others paid for by the Association. The work of the Hawaiian Branch, although still important, has drifted THE FRIEND. away from the original lines on which it was established. And for lack of nativespeaking leadership, according to the report just read, it remains tor the Asso ciation to decide at their next meeting whether or no the Branch shall be longer continued by this organization. The Y. M.C.A. Boys have prospered under the wise leadership of their President, Mrs. B. F. Dillingham. Some capital "Talks" have been made by interested friends at their monthly meetings. The Boys have given one pay entertainment, which was a grand success, and nicely refreshed their treasury, from which they support a boy in Kamehameha School, and expect to enlarge their missionary usefulness the coming year. There have been eleven business meetings of the Association and twelve meetings of the Board of Directors during the year. Nineteen new members have been received, but those lost by change of residence and from other causes are sufficient to keep our membership from rising above the number of last year, which was 13(1. There is rarely a time, during day or evening, when our rooms are without visitors. The attempt at a daily count throughout the year is a failure, here or elsewhere, so far as accuracy is concerned, but an actual count for single, but not exceptional, days recently made shows the number of daily visits at the rooms to be about eighty-five. That seems a very good record for this city, and especially when we remember there is a Library Building with pleasant rooms only just across the street. For myself, and on behalf of the Association, I desire to thank all the friends who have so cordially and generously assisted in the work of the Association during the past year. S. I). Puller, General Secretary. 41 President of a year since: "What have we accomplished in all these twelve months ? Nothing, compared to what we wish we had." Nothing, compared to what we wish we had. Now, in such a recurring thought as this, there is ground for deep regret that more has not been done, and ground for new resolve that we will endeavour to be more faithful and energetic in the service of our Lord and Saviour than we have been, but also ground for earnestly hoping that, whatever our efforts (weak and poor servants that we are) whatever our efforts may have been, our wishes and ambitions in God's service may ever keep in advance of what we seem to be able to perform, and that we shall never rest satisfied that we have done enough. Let us be satisfied with nothing less than the verdict, not our own, that we have done what we could. Last year we reviewed briefly our history, with especial reference to the objects for work which had from time to time occupied the attention of the Association. In some respects we can see, with happiness and thankfulness, that the good which we hoped to assist in doing has been done and is still being done; the preaching of Mr. Gulick in 1869, and the meeting of 1873, when Mr. Frank Damon so eloquently spoke, and the Rev. Frank Thompson so warmly offered us the help of our Hilo friends, on behalf of work amongst the Chinese immigrants to this country, are events of which the recollection is full of gladness: now, with the immigration of the various races which since 1873 have found a home here, has increased the effort that they shall come not only to obtain physical livelihood but to hear the words of eternal life. But, whilst there is encouragement in these things, our retrospect also brings-us the thought that much more has been hoped for than we have done,—the warning that we must make more endeavour yet, and not rest. In 1870, at the close of our first President's Address. year, our then President, now Mr. Justice We come together this evening to ob- Dole, called especial aitention to the serve the completion of the twenty-sec- need for Christian labour amongst our ond year of our existence as an Asso- brethren of the Hawaiian race.

Its object, already quoted, is that of an assembly of persons of various denominational branches of the Church of Christ upon the basis of their common fath, for work together. May I remind you of our reference at an Annual meeting last year to the brief statement of our articles of organization made at a very large assembly in which the Bishop of the diocese, clergymen of the Cathedral, the late President of the Wesleyan Methodist body in England, and many other clergymen and ministers of different Christian denominations, took part, that one of the great benefits of the Association was the bringing together of men of varying religious opinions with Christian fellowship ? And for what is our fellowship? It is not only for the thankful consideration of the blessings which we enjoy in common, but for the loyal carrying forward of the Banner of our Lord throughout the world, and to all people. In this sense the Associations,-now numbering over 3,700 throughout the world, are often spoken of as recruiting grounds for the army which is organized in the Christian Church. In the great spread of the Young Men's Associations with this purpose there is cause for rejoicing; for the Church always needs recruits; it must be always the Church militant: and its field of operation is world-wide. A beautiful hymn says, describing this extent: ■As o'er each continent and island "The dawn leads on another day, "The voice of prayer is never silent, "Nor dies the strain of praise away." But the campaign, endless in this world, for which we must furnish recruits is as various in its phases as it is wide in extent. Our duty in some respects is clearly before us, and there can be no mistake in our opposition to all that is manifestly hostile to an observance of Christianity. An indication, however, of possible changes which we have to encounter is afforded by the tendency, evinced in the present age, towards a personal construction of duty. When theosophy is straining analogies and testing chronologies to show us that much in which we believe is Buddhism, when even in Christian countries the supposed moribund religion of the Cresent is assuming activity, and Mohammedan sanctuaries are being erected, we feel that some special work is before our Association as Christian associations, and that the true liberty which we enjoy under the banner of our Lord should not be misunderstood or misused. In Honolulu it may be that we have not to deal with these particnlar strange parasites upon the freedom which our religion gives us; but, if we are to be — — 1891. of pure moral- hope, also, that the monthly businessity and the assertion of the right of hu- meetings may be made interesting and man conscience, we rest where the noble serviceable by a larger attendance of old Athenian Socrates and the great members, who will bring their individual philosopher Plato had to leave their thought and judgment to the aid of our world, with the glimmer of the dawn of common objects.

The Commonwealth of Australia. — The measures in progress for the union of the Australasian Colonies into one Federation appear to be approaching a successful conclusion. The Convention has adopted the name given above for the new nation. It will be a Republic resembling the United States more than any other, and of fullest Democratic forms. The Queen will appoint a Governor-General, who will have very limited powers, the Cabinet being dependent on the Lower House. The English virtues of the Australians guaranty the success and prosperity of the new nation. They have been making rapid progress in social and civil reforms. As our great and not remote neighbor westward, their welfare is of the deepest interest to us in Hawaii, and must intimately concern our own future. Between the mightiest of the nations of (ireater England, and the second of the same stock, Hawaii's future is permanently English in speech and customs. Condition of Kilauea.—Professor Brigham has reported to the SurveyorGeneral upon the state of the volcano before and since the recent collapse. This report will appear in the American Journal of Science. We have been kindly permitted to cull from it the following facts: Prof. B. was at Kilauea just before covering about six acres. The most active portion within the area of Halemaumau was at that time west of the peaks, which, as we understand it, would have been in the vicinity of Dana Lake. On March Bth a slight earthquake was felt at the Volcano House, while at the half-way house in Kau the shakes were quite severe and frequent. 'The whole area of I lalemaumau then fell in, making a pit of an estimated depth oi add feet, with perpendicular walls forbidding descent. Prof. B. revisited the All fire sji ton the second of April. Rising .mil smoke had disappeared. hot air prevented his photographs from showing effectively the interior of the pit. whose stratified walls gave an interesting object of Study. 'The dimensions of the cavity were 2.50U by 5,000 feet, with major axis lying K. and W., which would imply that the area of the "New Lake" of I*B3 86 was included in the main pit. In the collapse of'B6, "New Lake" formed a separate depression. The bottom was filled with debris as before. No word has been received of any lava flow appearing between Kilauea and the sea. The lava which escaped underground March 6th would seem to have been distributed underneath eastern Kau, producing, by its uplifting pressure, the earthquakes felt there. Later.—The news brought by the IT. G. Hall was that up to the '26th inst., the bottom of the pit had filled up about 10(1 feet, and a lake of liquid lava formed some 250 to 300 feet in diameter. This is the result of only ten days action. The bottom of the pit was steadily rising and the size of the lake increasing, and activity showing itself at new points every day. The illumination was very bright, being visible at night at Punaluu, thirty miles away.—P. C. Advertiser. The strength available for you this day, and in every moment of your need, the words, life, heart and soul of his divine Master, and as it had flowed from his lips, till age-worn and no longer able to proclaim it orally, he made thia written record of it ;:s his legacy to the Christian ages till the end of time. The Fourth Gospel, then, may be space, we could give John's. Had we at great length, reasons why we feel sine thai it ia his, and why we should know it to ne his had it come down to us anonymously; lor we do not believe that any other man could have written it. If there were ever written words so divine that we can imagine them as uttered for the human soul in a voice from the parted heavens and the throne of Clod, those words are in this Gospel. If ever one prayed on earth as if, when he prayed, he was consciously in the bosom of the Et.rnal Father, that prayer is recorded in this Gospel. Human history gives no token of any being who ever trod this world, except Jesus Christ, who could have thus spoken and thus prayed. His words, as they come to us, could not have been filtered through a century of oral tradition. They could have been reported by no ordinary, though sympathizing hearer. No one could have written them as we read them except the disciple whose heart-home was in the bosom of his Lord.— Christian Union. "The Church of the living God." Fealty to that is high churehmanship. The High Church whose essence is in the form of its ministry, whose existence is conditioned on ranks of sacerdotal orders, whose insistence is on vestments and missals, on breviaries and times and seasons, on processions and genuflexions, on sensuous ceremonies and dim symbolisms from this we turn away. In this Gospel day of love and life and power, it is an anachronism. To revive all this is like bringing back the miracle plays, or decking modern business men on our streets with the titles and armor of medieval knights. Prom this we turn away. But that high churehmanship which confesses Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God; which teaches the reality of the Church of the living God, and the perpetual real presence in it of the life of God; which asserts the necessity of the new birth by the Holy Spirit of God; the priesthood of all believers and the kingship of every saint as children of God; and which, while holding fast its living unity with apostles and martyrs and all the saints of past time, claims for itself this democratic age, and advances to the conquest of all races and the subordination of all forces for Christ Jesus as King—to that we cleave, under its Henry banner we array ourselves. — is changeless, eternal, gentle, and inexhaustible. Your life has been a'record of change, and the strength of past days has waned to infirmity; but the Master is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever. As long as we refuse a warm fullsouled sympathy with Christ's missionary purpose, and hold aloof from earnest co-operation with him in missionary enterprise, we shall have a poor, dwarfed spiritual life, and be faithless to the greatest work that God has put into human hands. To be always intending to live a new life, but never to take time to set about it, is as if a man should put off eating and drinking from one day to another, Hopkins. til! he is starved or destroyed. Faith in to-morrow, instead of Christ, The Sunday which does not bring is Satan's ruse for man's perdition. rjst is a day lost. — �THE FRIEND. Selections. Persevering unbelief is the only sin that will prove the ruin of a soul. Daniel had a kind of religion that would bear transportation; it stood the journey from Jerusalem, and the climate of Babylon, and became even better abroad than at home. The buckets of this world's pleasure are not large enough to bring up water to slake the thirst of the soul. Hear the Deacon in his store recommending his goods, and how cheerful and fascinating he makes bis tones. Then hear him in the prayer meeting, and he is doleful enough to make an undertaker cry. The best sermon ever preached is a holy life; the best music ever chanted is a happy, loving, helpful, patient spirit. If you want others to serve God, serve him yourself; if you want others to shoulder their duty, shoulder your own. We bring Christ near to men just as we live near to him ourselves. Is life's voyage rough ? Keep unbelief below, faith on deck, and Christ at the helm. Prayers that are loaded down with requests for everything in general and nothing in particular are apt to carrylittle heart with them, and so do not rise high. Uo you see why in heaven gold is fit only for paving stones? 'The feet that tread up to blessedness must use it, but they walk over it. Every church of the living God, however humble, should be in communication with the spiritual tides that beat on all the shores of the world, and be conscious of the lift of the cosmic forces that rule in heavenly places. All the victorious forces of the uni verse are in league with the child of God and with the Church of God. If men had temptations only to great sins, few would begin to indulge in sin. It is the daily fight with little sins that accustoms them to defeat. Those are the best Christians who are more careful to reform themselves than to censure others. The daily round of humblest duties is full of probation and discipline. HAWAIIAN HARDWARE CO.. LIMITED, - - SmaCKlLs' II.VNK. Oil-. HARDWARE, CROCKERY, GLASSWARE, . ..

This issue of The Fribmd appears upon the eve of the annual meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. At nearly the same time will be held the annual meetings of several other associations for mission and benevolent work. Somewhat out of the usual course, but allied to the preceding, will be the Punahou Jubilee, and the laying of the cornerstone of the new Church. The June meetings of this year seem to have more than usual importance from the fact that the Hawaiian Kingdom is manifestly on the verge of a period of great commercial and political change, calling for a reinforcement of all our moral and spiritual activitiesln order to carry our religious and social conditions safely through. Such a time of transition, however promising of possible good, is also portentous with possible evil, and it is plainly needful that all agencies, institutions and persons engaged in conserving and promoting the public welfare should be in the highest and healthiest activity. Each one should be on the alert, like a carriage driver approaching a crowded corner, or like a pilot steering into the strong currents of a narrow passage. All our social and religious forces should be in order, like the material of an army in war time. We hold that at all times, but especially at such times as the present, the safety of any nation depends upon the decree in which loyalty to God and Righteousness possesses the hearts of the people and influences their actions. The ship tif state will either ride the waves buoyantly, or be prostrated by their blows, just in the degree that she is lifted up by loyal faith within men's hearts, and steered by righteous principles in their souls. Hawaii nei will be able to meet the emergencies of the time, and to come forth into true political liberty and social prosperity, just in the degree that her people and their leaders accept the guidance of Righteousness. Is it not then a time for the churches and for Christian men to come together before God with great faith and courage, calling solemnly and resting confidently upon Him for inspiration and guidance? They need so to hold themselves in earnest faith and iove, as to rally under their leadership upon the side of justice, order, purity, temperance, godliness, the minds and hearts of all people of the land who have heard the word of the Lord, and have been taught in His ways. We believe that God has a noble destiny awaiting this central land of the North Pacific. The pait century of wonderful providences and unique forces has been preparing Hawaii for its approaching destiny, laying deep the foundations of the Church, of pure Society, of Education, of Liberal Government. It needs at this juncture, that all enlightened, God-fearing men and women, should be wide-awake, praying and trusting, with faces to the light, souls listening to God's call, and hands ready for all holy service. May this be the spirit of all our June meetings. A Period of Transition. Such may this be considered in an especial sense for Hawaii nei. The leading elements tending to great changes are in plain sight. One of these is the change in population, leaving the natives in a minority. Another is the immense development of business conducted by men of foreign race. Another is the growth of education and of democratic principles, which are rendering monarchy less and less available as a permanent means of government, so that on the first serious occasion, it is liable to lapse, and give place to republican forms. A very great cause of change looming into view, is the impending expansion of Pacific commerce to follow the opening of the Nicaragua Canal. This will bring a great accession of business, and immigration of commercial men. Closely connected with this, will be changes in ourinternational relations, especially with our imperial neighbor of America. It has become obvious to reflecting minds, that both in our internal affairs, and in our external relations, we shall soon pass rapidly out of our past, and turning a somewhat sharp corner, shall press forward on a new course, apparently of great material activity and prosThe Twentieth century will perity. doubtless open upon us with our ship of state heading in a quite new direction. The new-coming time will make a great call upon the wisdom and the patriotic energies of the good people of Hawaii. By the blessing of God, they may hope to meet all the emergencies of the times. The Royal Progress. During the past month, Her Majesty (jueen Liliuokalani has been visiting by steamer, the principal towns of Hawaii and Maui. The people have turned out to meet her, with ovations and festivities. From what we have learned, we believe that her influence has been exercised in favor of good morals And intelligence. It is our hope i nd trust that the (jueen will commend herself by a good judgment and sound policy to the substantial confidence of good people. It gives us the greatest pleasure to state that we are reliably informed, that Her Majesty's Progress on Hawaii was marked by a noticeable absence of hulas, and also of the use of liquors at the public entertainments. This is indeed a gratifying contrast to what has been customary in the past. Our esteemed Dalbeattie poet has contributed some graceful and tender verses in memory of a dear aged friend. These words may also minister comfort to some others. �THE FRIEND. 44 REV. LOWELL SMITH, D.D. In Memoriam. This beloved missionary passed away in the early morning of Friday, May Bth, in his 89th year. He was the very last survivor from the earlier band of missionaries. His thin and aged form, still active, has until now, been daily familiar to the streets of Honolulu, as he drove about in his unwearied ministrations to the sick among the natives. Indeed for fifty-five years, no man has been more constantly known in this city. Dr. Smith's death was probably somewhat hastened by overwork a week before, when he made his last rounds. The consequent labor somewhat .overcame him, and doubtless hastened the failure of vital powers. There was lio special illness or pain. He rose and dressed himself daily, with a little help on Thursday morning. That last day was spent mostly upon the couch. In the afternoon his mind wandered somewhat. He believed himself surrounded by native parents whose infants he was baptizing. As he administered the ordinance, he stumbled about the children's names. Like himself, always pushing ahead, he broke through the perplexity, emphatically protesting to the parents, " 1 cannot bring these children up for Christ. It is you their parents who must teach them the ways of the Lord, and lead them to follow Him. I can only baptize them into His name." He then wandered off into prayer, repeating many words of Scripture to himself, as was his wont. Thus was the mind of this faithful servant upon his Lord's work, for the lambs of the flock, to his latest breath. There was little conscious speech after this, until at five in the morning, the freed spirit glided gently and grandly away. Lowell Smith came from the old Puritan stock of New England. He was born in Heath, Mass., Nov. tlth, 1802, amid that deeply religious, yet capable and thrifty rural life which has supplied such a multitude of the leading workers of the fatherland in all departments of public and business life. His public profession of faith in Christ was made in 1823. New England churches were then ringing with the news of Hawaii's cordial reception of the pioneer missionaries, and of the just previous abandonment of the idols and tabus. Richards, Bishop and company had just embarked at New Haven to reinforce Bingham and Thurston. Six years after in 1829, we find him graduating from Williams ColIrom Auburn Theologlege, and in ical Seminary. There in Central New York, he caught the intense revival spirit spread by Charles G. Finney's wonderful preaching. Following; him at Auburn nineteen years later, we found him affectionately remembered by several persons as one of the most earnest and devoted of the Auburn students. As Father Smith said on his golden- wedding day in 1882, he had " a threefold conviction on the subject of his duty to go and preach the gospel to the heathen." It is certain that his sense of God's special call to him for this work was one of unusual strength. He accepted the call with all the simplicity and energy of his single-hearted soul; he never wavered from the happy assurance and eager fulfilment of that call to the latest day of his earthly life. Finding a helpmate of like purpose and joyful consecration with himself, one of most blessed memory in Honolnlu, he was married Oct. 2, 1832 to Miss Abba W. Tenney. Nov. 21st, they embarked at New Haven, on the Mentor, in company with Rev. B. W. and Mrs. Parker. This was the fifth reinforcement sent out to the Hawaiian Mission, thirteen years after the pioneers. There were also as fellow passengers, Rev. John Diell and wife, and Mr. Chas. Burnham who came to build the Seamen's Chapel or Bethel. Mr. Diell was the first chaplain, and predecessor of Father Damon. Two of that company still survive, Mrs. Barker, venerable and beloved, and Mrs. Diell, now absent for fifty years. They arrived at Honolulu May 1, 1883. It was a time of trial to the mission. Their noble patroness, the Regent Kaahumanu, had passed away a few months before. The party of heathen drunkenness and licentiousness had found a leader in Kaomi. The young King Kauikeaouli, or Kamehameha 111, had revoked most of the wholesome restrictions imposed by Kaahumanu. In consequence of the disorders at the capital, the mission held their annual meeting at Lahaina. They located the Smiths at Kaluaaha, Molokai, as associates to the Hitchcocks, who had begun pioneer work there the previous year, and who had already secured a commodious thatched church and schoolhouse. The Smiths were housed in a grass cottage, with lauhala mats for floor, door, and windows. This proved leak)', to the serious detriment of the wife's health. But the skill and energy of the young missionary with his Yankee farm training soon provided a more comfortable cottage of stone laid up with mud. Meantime he taught singing, learned the language, and began attempts at preaching in three months. Having come from a land of protracted "meetings and powerful revivals, they called the three Lahaina missionaries to aid them in such a three days meeting," a forerunner of the great revivals of 1837-8, when Molokai shared so blessedly in the great Divine outpouring. The General Meeting of 1834 removed the Smiths to open a new station at Waiawa, Ewa, the parish including Waianae, with a total population of over 6,000 souls. The difficulties of the field were peculiar. Liliha, or Madam Boki, the chiefess of Waianae, was very hostile to the missionaries, having allied herself to the Catholic priests. Waipio, I June, 1891. near the mission station, was the headquarters of the young king's debaucheries. The great body of the Ewa people followed in his wake. In fact, Ewa was then and afterwards the favorite country resort of chiefs and white men for indulgence in their vile orgies. It was several months before Mr. Smith could gather more than one hundred and fifty of the people for Sabbath worship. Mrs. Smith, being in feeble health, remained in Honolulu until a suitable house could be built, which was not for six months; Mr. S. meantime actively organizing work throughout the district. Several good praying men and women, members of the Honolulu church living at Waiawa, upheld his hands as he called on the Divine Spirit to aid. Sabbath congregations gradually increased. "There was," he says, "a great deal of sickness among the people, and I spent much time in visiting among them. My success as a physician induced many to forsake the native doctors, and to attend public worship on the Sabbath." In April 1835 a protracted meeting was held, Mr. Emerson of Waialua coming with forty of his people, and Mr. Tinker with thirty Christians from Honolulu. To Mr. Smith's surprise, not less than five hundred of the Ewa people turned out to the meetings. It was not until January 1836that the Ewa Church was organized with eighteen members: six by letter, twelve by pro fession. This church, in later years, reached the number of "2,800 members. Mr. Smith soon after began building the immense adobe edifice which so long crowned Waiawa hill, now superseded by a smaller and* more modern church. Meanwhile schools were progressing in the various districts of Kwa, under the missionary's vigorous care and effort. In May 183G they had risen to 522 from 175 of the previous year. Of spare and active frame, and great powers of endurance, Mr. Smith was almost übiquitous from end to end ol the Pearl Lochs, much of the time on foot, or in canoes, horseflesh being very scarce. But the time had come for his transfer to a larger and still harder field, the scene of his permanent labors. In IBS6 the necessity became obvious that one missionary should be devoted to the work of education for the host of neglected children in the capital. Mr. Smith was assigned to this work, Rev. Artemas Bishop removing from Kailua to Bwß, where he found the work nobly in hand, as left by Mr. Smith. We will pause here to testify that Mr. Smith took very frequent occasion to visit his old parish; no other missionary's face was more familiar to us, or more welcome as a cheering and hearty friend, full of happy zeal for the work. Mr. Smith labored in the Honolulu schools one year. He records about 1,300 scholars in attendance in the district on April 19, 1837, with 224 under �THE FRIEND. 45 Volume 49, No. f>."| his personal instruction, of whom he heard his low tones in the night talking sent four to Lahainaluna Seminary. with his God, and supplicating mercies The next day the Mary FrasUr arrived, for many people.

LUCY WHITE PALMER. In Memoriam. In recording the decease of aged friends, ripe for departure and for heaven, our sorrow is mingled with joy for their happy release from the burdens and weariness of earth. But now we have heard of one of the most active and serviceable of the daughters of our city, reft suddenly from her busy home, made bright by her labors, and from her infant children, and their father in the midst of his parish cares. Lucy White was one of Honolulu's favorites, and a hopeful happy lot seemed to lie before her when she joined her steps to those of the Rev. F. H. Palmer, the young pastor in North Weymouth, Mass. Four children blessed their union, the younger, twins, now in their second year. The young mother was unusually active in church work, and had added to the household income by journalistic work with her pen, which was in good demand. Special sickness in the family during the winter had greatly overtaxed her strength. Worn out, she succumbed to the first attack of malady. How great must be this grief to the bereft husband and to the motherless infant band. It is one of those sharp sorrows for which there seems no mitigation. Mrs. White leaves, in Honolulu, an only brother, Mr. E. Oscar White, besides an uncle, Mr. W. W. Hall, and an aunt, Mrs. P. C. Jones. A large circle of Punahou schoolmates participate in the affliction of this early death. Gen. Horatio P. Van Cleve. Intelligence was received by a late mail of the death of this aged gentleman, at his home in Minneapolis, after four days illness with pneumonia. He was in his eighty-second year. General Van Cleve is remembered with warm regard by many friends in Honolulu, where he and Mrs. Van Cleve spent the winter of '78-9, visiting their daughter, Mrs. W. VV. Hall. Mrs. Van Cleve has long been widely known to the Christian public through her successful and popular addresses and other labors in the service of the Woman's Board of Missions. Although so advanced in life, she was absent from home on such duty when her husband was taken ill.

At General Van Cleve's funeral, a large number of his old regiment (always known as "Van Cleve's boys") were present. A profound sensation was made by a recital of the dashing way in which he and his boys, after a quickstep of five miles, turned the rout at Mill Springs into victory. " You must turn back,'' s.ud the Ohio men, worn out with fighting. " The Second Minnesotta never turns back! Forward!" shouted Van Cleve, and Mill Springs saved Kentucky for the Union. The "boys" did not quite suppress their applause at the preacher's story of their old Colonel who lay dead before them. When in Honolulu, General Van Cleve repeatedly spoke with great esteem of Rev.

They have located their observatory at Waikiki, mauka of Mr. Jacob Brown's residence. Their work will occupy a year. Honolulu being upon a meridian nearly opposite to Berlin, the results of the observations taken here will furnish an indispensable supplement to those taken during the same year at the latter point. The oscillation in latitude which has been detected there is an exceedingly delicate one. Opium has recently been smuggled into this Kingdom in large quantities despite the Prohibitory law. Occasion is taken as usual by lovers of license, to decry Prohibition, and demand that the opium traffic be licensed, and so "regulated." It should always be clearly borne in mind, that under Prohibition, the possession of opium is made a crime, and so the dealers and users are always kept under pressure of fear. Under li cense all this restraint is taken away. The sugar and rice planters understand this well and will continue to throw their influence against legalizing opium, and disorganizing their labor thereby. June, 1891.

Honda the Samiirai.— [A story of Modem japan, by William Elliot Griffis, D.D. Boston and Chicago Congregational Sunday Schools and Publishing Society, pp. 390. j We have had the satisfaction of mak ing notices of some of Dr. Griffis' previ ous publications. The prestnt one is likely to find special favor. It is a story of a Japanese youth who lived Under the old feudal system and participated in its fall. Woven into the story, are varied and vivid pictures of Japanese life and manners, of old religions and priestcraft, and of missionary life and work. The author has already told in "The Mikado's Empire," of his residence in Japan for four years, from 71 74, for one year near a daimio's provincial court isolated from his own race. Ourbetter half, who knows what young folks want, says this is a first-class book for Sunday schools. That must be so, for no one is a better judge. But our own opinion is, that most of the older people will find reading this book an unusually easy and pleasant way of learn ing about Japan. The Corner-stone of the new edifice of the Central Union Church at the south corner of Beritania and Richards streets is to be laid with appropriate ex ercises at 3 p.m. June 3rd.

Hans Isenberg, pastor of the German Kvangelical Lutheran Parish of Lihue, Kauai, we have received the following facts of his work carried on during the year 1890. We are sure that it will be of interest to our readers as giving a glimpse at one important element of our complex life, and as opening up one branch of the good work being done on these Islands. Number of parishoners, 370; adults, 170; children, 191; married men, 05; married women, 07; schoolchildren, 98; children born (during 1H90), 25; baptized, 37 (20 in Lihue).

A. monthly meeting was held May 21st. There was a larger attendance than usual, inspiring to us all as a promise of awakening enthusiasm. The chairmen of the different committees made reports, mostly oral, showing the work in their departments well in hand. They promised reports at the next monthly meeting, showing something accomplished. A glance at the list of committees will show the chairmen of the active branches of work, all young men in the full vigor of their young christian manhood. They are ably supported by exceptionally strong committees. And we look forward to organized and sustained effort. The General Secretary reported a very busy month. He spoke of the new class es in Drawing and Mathematics meeting in our building. The Y. M. C. A well knows that the education of our young men is, broadly speaking, an essential part of the evangelization of the world. Such seed sown, will return to us an hundred-fold in worthier citizens and a more intelligent Christianity. God speed the evening classes! We wish we could fill every room in the building with earnest students. The report of a Temperance sub-committee by Bro. Atherton was especially interesting. He had been appointed to feel the Ministerial pulse in regard to the rumored granting of additional liquor licenses. The report was re-assuring and cheering. There is no likelihood of any immediate extension of the evil. Three new members were elected, Messrs. Law, Langley, and Clarke. A movement, led by Bro. Robinson, is afoot, to begin a series of social evenings in the hall. Our lady friends are to be asked to devote, in turn, an hour now and then in giving to young men who are strangers a home-like sociable evening. The resignation of Mr. Fuller, our General Secretary, took most of us by surprise, though we all well know how his health has been failing of late. His departure will be a loss to this institution not soon repaired. His letter was a touching tribute to the whole-hearted aloha of the Christian people of this city. It was modestly silent as to the inestimable work he has done here,—a work that lives in the hearts of all who know him, and whose record is kept in the Lamb's Book of Life. J. Barnkt, Rec. Secy.

Plans and methods of work for the ings will become a still greater power in and Mr. H. Waterhouse —who was absent coming year were then thoroughly discussed. It was decided to begin, at once, a meeting for prayer, praise and the study of biblical topics. Friday evening, 7:30, was chosen as the time for the meeting. The topics for the Sunday evening meetings, for each quarter, are to be printed on cards. Each member will receive a card. The methods of conducting our meetings were discussed ; some changes suggested, and the chairman of the committee was instructed to ask leaders not to take over 15 or 20 minutes in the opening exercises, thus giving most of the time to the members. Printed notices giving information about the meetings, reading-room, etc., are to be posted in as many public places as possible. Social evenings for young men," was discussed and a committee appointed to place the matter before the next monthly meeting of the association. The leaders are to be chosen as they have been for the past two years. " Sunday Evening Meetings. The meetings for the first month of the V.M.C.A. year have been unusually interesting and inspiring. The total attendance was 490. Average 98. At the first meeting, Mr. Davies, Liverpool, England, brought us words of counsel and cheer. On May 3rd, Major Russell, R. H. A., gave us an earnest, practical talk upon The Promises." The meetings for the rest of the month were led by our members. The meetings are growing in spirit and interest. Yet, it is not only a pity, but a misfortune that many of our members do not study the subjects selected more than they do. The consequence is, that much of that, which is said is often disconnected, lacking in aim, and foreign to the topic of the evening. It is not intended that the topic should exclude all else. If a brother has received some blessing, which he wishes to acknowledge, and for which he wishes to give thanks—let him do so. No place is more appropriate than in our meetings, where his words will be heard, both by those who have no experimental knowledge of God, and hence need such evidence ; and by those who know personally what it is to have the love of God dwelling in their souls. This and some other reasons admit of divergence. It is equally true, that were we entering the presence of an earthly king, we would not presume to address to him disconnected and irrelevant Devotional Committee. words—how much more careful should This committee held its organization we be when in the presence of, and speaking of the things pertaining to, " " the winning of souls. It is our duty—to say nothing of its being our joy—to do earnestly and well the work God has placed in our hands. We can't afford to be careless workers for God. Closing Sunday Evening's Meeting. Our meetings are usually closed with a hymn. During the singing of the hymn there is an almost universal reaching for hats, walking-sticks, umbrellas, etc., then, ere the echo of the last note has died away, a general rush to get down stairs. To strangers, and those to have not grown accustomed to the usual habit here, this looks like " irreverence." Taking the most lenient view possible, we must have to confess that it shows a lack of thoughtfulness. We ask God to grant us the felt presence of His Holy Spirit in our meetings. If we believe His promise, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them,"—if we believe this promise, then our Songs of Praise" are as much addressed to God, in His presence, as are our prayers. We should so treat them. Our meetings should be closed either with the benediction, or at least, by a short prayer; when the Master's blessing may be asked to rest upon what has been said in the meeting, and His presence and guidance asked for the hours and days of the week to follow. " Friday Evening's Prayer Meeting. The prayer meetings for young men were begun in the Y. M. C. A. parlors on May 15. The subject was Prayer." Twenty-three, mostly young men attended. The hour was well occupied, chiefly by the younger members, in prayer and testimony. The subject for May 22nd was "Praise and Thanksgiving." The 93 Psalm was read. We all received inspiration from the thoughtful praise of the great psalmist. Great good will result from these meetings where all meet and unite in prayer and praise to the Master of life. We want more of our young men present. Don't make engagements for Friday evening. There never was a greater need than now. Let us not fail to do our duty. An hour spent in drawing near to God will bring us strength for the hours of sore trial we so often meet. " A good old farmer one day standing in the hay-field, with a fake in his hand, was asked what he thought of a certain preacher. "Oh, he's very good," he re plied; "but he rakes with the teeth upside instead of down. He smooths it The King of kings and Lord of lords?" nicely over, but he gathers nothing in." �The Wesley Centennial. John Wesley died March 2d, 1791, in his eighty-eighth year. He was probably the most influential Englishman that ever lived, although his University, Oxford, has no adequate memorial of its most illustrious fellow. Price Hughes once expressed surprise at this to the eminent Mark Pattison, rectorof Lincoln College, to which Wesley belonged, mentioning the fact that Wesley had twenty millions of avowed disciples in all parts of the world, within a century of his death. "Twenty millions!" exclaimed Pattison, with a start; "twenty millions ! you mean twenty thousand ?" Hughes had to repeat it three times over. " 1 had not the faintest conception that there were so many Methodists," said the illustrious rector. Such is the fatuous ignorance to which State Churchism and " Apostolic Succession" condemn their votaries, like Buddhist monks in a Lamasery, or like the S. P. G. bishop of Calcutta, when an apostle of the Lord like Dr. Pentecost approaches him. Lecky declares the religious revolution wrought by Wesley to be the greatest event of English history in the eighteenth England, as we know her century. to-day," says Edmund Scherer, "is the work of Methodism." Says the historian Green, "John Wesley embodied in himself not this or that side of the vast movement, but the very movement itself." Small in stature, but of mighty soul, and tireless body, Wesley was a king among men, by the grace of God in him, evolving a living church and Christianity out of the palsied religious condition of the nation, and lifting the people up into spiritual and moral activity. It was not until the 24th of May, 1738, that John Wesley received the Heavenly Power and launched forth into his mighty career. The Spirit of the I ord came upon him, anointing him to preach the Gospel to the poor. FYom childhood of scholastic habit, no man ever so reached the hearts of the poor and illiterate. His sweet and penetrating voice would reach ten, twenty, thirty thousand auditors. He saturated the English poor with a living gospel. His journeyings were immense, never less than forty-five hundred miles in a year. Until his seventieth year all his journeys were done on horseback, and he rode sixty or seventy miles day after day, as well as preached several times. In the terrible winter of 1745, he rode two hundred and eighty miles in six days, amid wind, rain, ice, snow, driving sleet, and " he grew to have an iron frame, which he traced to the habit of rising at four, and preaching three or four times a day, with a journey of sixty or seventy miles in the intervals. During all this time his literary activity was immense, mainly in providing books for the benefit of his itinerant preachers —collections of Psalms and hymns, sermons, journals, and magazines. In this he unawares became rich, but expended every penny of the 30,000/. he made, in charity. Hissystematized social charities were most extensive. Wesley not only created Methodism; he revolutionized Calvinism, which has yielded its harsher tenets to his tenderer and holier doctrine, and now marches almost hand in hand with Methodism in setting forth how " God loved the world," and how "whosoever believeth in the Son, shall have everlasting life." In the great memorial services of the Centennial near Wesley's tomb in London, every variety of Christian theology, and every form of ecclesiastical polity, except Roman and Eastern Catholicism, combined to pay loving reverence to England's greatest prophet and apostle. We are indebted for the above facts to an article in the Nineteenth Century. A heavenly crown is shining on the brow Of her who will come back to you no more.

As per programme, these opened on Thursday, June '2.uh, with athletic exhibitions on the campus, by the students. There was a cavalry drill, followed by tourneying at tings with line success. There were various foot races and jumpings, closing wiLh football. The tine doings of their sons so stirred up some of the old Punahou boys that they organized an impromptu race of their own, in which grey-haired dignitaries gloriously vied for precedence. Three of the tallest rolled in the dust, but manfully sprang up and finished the race. We are happy to record that the solid men were, by no means, in the rear. One of the fallen heroes was seen not long after running horses with the young lads for all he was worth. He evidently had not forgotten in Spain the feats of his youth on Mokuleia plains. On the same evening the great stone church was crowded above and below to hear General Armstrong. Mrs. B. F. Dillingham first read a Poem of some length with admirable force and grace. This, like all whom we have heard speak of it, we reckon as of a high order of literary ability, while it glowed with the enthusiasm of a lover of the Alma Mater. We only wish that our columns could be expanded to contain this poem, together with the addresses of the week. General Armstrong's oration was full of the same filial enthusiasm towards r Punahou, and the memories of school days. It also took the strong reach and broad outlook of the man ol affairs, of the heroic educator and race-uplifter. His crisp, nervous sentences crowded fast, teeming with thought fresh and suggestive, and with counsels stimulating and hopeful. These counsels related to the College and its future as a central educating power. They also reached out to the duties lying before its graduates for Hawaii in all its social and national needs. It was full of the gospel of Work and its rewards. Friday the 26th was the day for giving full scope to the social elements of the occasion. After a reception by President and Mrs. Hosmer in the parlors, all the guests sat down to a sort of Alumni dinner, which took the form of a combined lunch and luau, of which something like a thousand persons must have partaken. The beautiful lawn in front of the main building had been covered in for the purpose, and laid with long tables, spread with the most copious bounty ofourlavish Honolulu hospitality. For from two to three hours after this were occupied with addresses. A letter was first read from Hon. C. R. Bishop, which accompanied his gift of $50,000. Professor W. D. Alexander then delivered a most entertaining historical address, a marvel of research and exact information respecting Punahou and the College. For happy allusion, apt comparison, chastened humor, quiet ardor, we find this address throughout as good reading as we have recently met with. This paper, as well -s the Oration and Poem, have already been printed in the P. C. Advertiser, and will no doubt appear in pamphlet form. This was followed by a large numbei of lively speeches from old graduates, trustees and others, Chief-Justice Judd presiding, as Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements. These have been very imperfectly reported by the press, and we were not in a position to hear anything -but all seemed to be having a jolly good time. We learn that Rev. Hiram Bingham, by request, made some statements relative to his 51 TheFriend. Number 7. father's gift in 1840 of the Punahou lands to the school. It was made a general holiday in town, stores and Government offices being generally closed after ten o'clock, out of regard to Punahou hospitality. Her Majesty the (jueen was prominent among the guests. Kamehameha School, after four years of arduous and excellent work, has graduated its first class of fourteen, four of whom expect to study there another year. The exercises were held on Tuesday, June 23rd, when Kawaiahao Church was packed to overflowing. The young men gave us the impression of genuine high promise. The wise and affectionate address of Principal Oleson to his boys was most impressive. Public examinations of the six divisions of the school had been held on Monday and Tuesday mornings. On Wednesday the Trustees and General Armstrong were entertained at lunch, Her Majesty the Queen also honoring the company with her presence. General Armstrong gave special counsel to the young men. The work of this school involves much of the element of Industrial Training upon which he places so much stress. A variety of work executed by the scholars showed a wonderful proficiency in Cabinet and Machinist as well as other work. The Bishop Museum was opened to the public on Monday and Tuesday, although the arrangement of the cases is still incomplete. Hilo Boarding School held its annual exhibition on June —th. It has recovered lost ground and proved remarkably successful under Mrs. W. S. Terry as Principal, aided by Miss Ellen G. Lyman and Mr. Terry, with Mr. P. S. Lord as instructor in music. The new manual department has been very successful. A small steam engine has been constructed by the pupils under Mr. Terry's supervision, and is doing useful work. Five acres of kalo are growing for the food of the scholars, besides bananas, sweet potatoes and sugar cane. Four hundred coffee trees also. The Lyman Memorial Fund now amounts to thirty thousand dollars. The school has grown from thirty to fifty pupils, with a prospect of increase. With its long and useful past behind it, this important school promises to render invaluable service to the Hawaiian people. �52 THE FRIEND. rju, y , i B5 , sionary Sermon of the Scribe delivered training school did the work of supply Kawaiahao Church was a poem of ing teachers for them.

The natives. seeing the Spanish take and use the property of Americans without their being able to prevent it, were led to think it would go much worse with them in the future. This, 1 think, was one inducement to the fighting. The outbreak occurred at Ova June 2. >, 1890, at the boat landing on the mission premises. The Spanish first came to Ova in Maj', but before that, when it was fust reported that they were coming there to build, Miss Palmer delegated Mr. Charles Bowker and Mrs. Cole on separate occasions to visit the Governor and pro test against their building on the mission premises, and the Governor promised that he would not. The officer in charge of the force at Ova was very bitter against anything not Spanish, and from all accounts the Governor could not wholly control him. He made many threats and talked much to the natives on his own authority, while they sup posed it was from the Governor. This officer was very angry with Miss Palmer because she went to the Governor with her complaints instead of to him, ami he went right to work on the mission grounds cutting trees and building houses. A church and a dwelling house were begun about sixty feet from our church, and foundations for a fort and barracks were laid on a hill near oui houses and on our land. For an excuse the Governor said that it was the most healthy place he could find. He afterwards said that the fort was a military necessity, and that the church was for the religious welfare of the soldiers. I don't believe anything of the kind. 1 think it a fact that the)' want to crowd out our mission, and they did this as a first grand step toward it. If the natives were fairly treated, there would be no necessity for soldiers. They are peaceably disposed, but, like other people, they cannot bear oppression. The three weeks spent at anchor in Ponape were three weeks of misery nearly every day brought its new exasperation. One of the first things done by the Governor, after our at rival, was to prohibit all religious meetings among the natives. This was a sjrious drawback to Mr. Rand's endeavors in the interest of peace, and it made the natives all the more bitter because they like to begin their public meetings with prayer. On the twenty-sixth of August I again visited the Governor and, after a long talk, got a written permit to land goods at the mission in our boats, "at the owner' srisk." Mr. Rand still believing in the possibility of bringing about a quiet settlement of the troubles, wished to have his goods put ashore. Before granting the permit the Governor said that he had proof from both foreigners and natives that the Star sold them r powder. Though I assured him that I -never deal in powder, he 1repeated the assertion, till I told him squarely and plainly that his informers had lied. He accused me .of trading in tobacco and cobra. I explained to him the extent of my trading, referring to my instructions from the Board (only for the getting of ship's supplies,) He declared that the Rnk Mission makes a business of selling tobacco, and that it is given out in church by one of the ladies that they have better tobacco than that sold by the traders, and I must say, if I had to use the weed, I should hope the}' did. 1 h m: stories probably came from those who dislike missionaries. \\ in n we first reached Ponape, Mr. Rand wished to go ashore and have his goods landed, but, after a few days, he found it would not be wise to do so, and requested me to remain indefinite!}. Miss Fletcher went to Ova and remained till September 3rd, the other passengers remaining on board ship. On the 3rd (September), the troops having arrived from Manila and a fight being imminent, the girls' school was removed to the S/nr, via.; three ladies and twentyone girls. The houses were locked and a white flag left flying over them, and the Governor's own written pledge of protection nailed to one of the doors. On September 4th our boat visited Ova for the last time. The natives then had nearly the entire water front fortified. There was first a breastwork of stone five feet high. A few feet back of this was a trench, a kind of rifle-pits. I had to i;et a permit from the Governor for the removal of the girls. Later on, no girls were allowed to remain with their teachers without the written consent of their parents. We went in all directions and obtained the required permits. The authorities then demurred at the correctness of the permits, and so all the girls had to he put on shore, Miss Palmer and Mrs. Cole going with them to Kiti. The American schooner C. O■ Wilson was in [tort and was engaged to take Miss Kinney and the Ruk goods to Ruk for $300, and I sailed the same day (September 11th) for Kusaie with Mr. Rami, the Misses Fletcher and Foss and eleven girls (those given permits.) Mr. Rand (who staid at Kiti) did all he could to prevent further bloodshed. The Gove/HiOr asked him to do as he had in I**7, and he worked until he made himself sick. I arrived at Kusaie Miss Fletcher told September Kith. me that she had decided not to stop at Kusaie. So, on the 20th, I sailed again for Ponape, and on the night of the 25th hove to off Kiti harbor. Here we learned from Rand and Nanpei of the burning of the mission houses. I went into Kiti and lay at anchor four days while the dividing and landing supplies went on. Misses Palmer and Fletcher and Mrs. Cole decided to remain at Kiti and keep the girls together. October 2nd, I cleared for Kusaie. Mrs. Rand and Miss Foss being aboard. (Later, the American sh'\p-o(-wav Alliance took the Misses Palmer and Fletcher and Mrs. Cole and the girls to Kusaie.) Ii ims. The Spanish began active operations against the natives September 13th, a few miles south of Ova. On the 20th they first shelled Ova, then landed a force and burned all the mission houses, besides a few native houses. They are said to have fired MOO rounds from their large guns during the week, and succeeded in killing only three natives. The Spanish commander was killed while landing near the mission wharf. After burning the houses they all went on board their ships and steamed around to the colony, where they remained doing nothing up to the second of October, the time of my departure. Both Bowker and .Nanpei received some kind of decoration for their services (in secreting and saving the lives of the priests and six soldiers), two priests were hid two days in the girls' school. Nanpei was offered $. >o a month to teach in the Catholic school. Several days before the fight of June 25th, the native Christians and teachers held their customary monthly meeting for religious talk and instruction. There happened to be more people present than usual. The officer in charge became alarmed, thinking they came for other purposes, and threatened to take them all to the Governor and have them killed if they held any more meetings. This officer had received warning of trouble the day before the outbreak, and had badgered the natives about their fighting. He made no preparations for defense. The natives were told that they had received too many American ideas, and that they would now have some of them taken out. While Manassa, one of our teachers, was d\ing in bis house at Ova, the Spanish began felling trees and making a noise near the house. His friends were obliged to take him away and he died while being removed. The natives are afraid that the Catholic religion will be forced upon them. I think that was one cause of the outbreak. So far only only one of the five tribes is in the fight. They muster less than 400 men. The Spanish had 1,200 against them, and will need several times that number before they are through. At Ponape (April 20, 1K91) we found all quiet and most of the soldiers returned to Manila, and but one man-ofwar in port. The new Governor gave us no trouble, and seemed very anxious to make things agreeable. In regard to the Ponapeans, however, he proposes to follow the old tactics. They must come in and surrender their chiefs and guns or be wiped out, and he said that there would be no more bungling about it on the part of the military. — r �THE FRIEND. 54 The old Governor, before leaving, issued a proclamation declaring the Metalanim tribe extinct, and their lands were divided among .the other tribes. The facts are that, up to the time of our leaving Ponape, April 25, 1891, only five Ponapeans had been killed, while the Spanish loss in the last fight alone was not less than three hundred men, and some put it still higher. The natives were strongly intrenched and captured a great quantities of rifles and ammunition. Ponape is a dear acquisition for the Spanish. An Animated Scene took place upon the Australia at her arrival on the morning of the 23rd ult., when old Punahou and other friends boarded the ship to greet Gen. S. C. Armstrong and Rev. William H. Gulick. The alohas were eager and joyful to the two veterans. Their old teacher, Dr. Beckwith, was there to welcome them, together with several of their old school and classmates of more than thirty years gone by. Gen. Armstrong has repeatedly visited us, but has grown very gray since his last visit. Mr. Gulick has not seen his native land before since he left it for college. He has seen long and arduous service since then, and shows the wear. The Corner Stone exercises on June 3rd were a most happy success, enthusiastic, and inspiring. An account is given in another column. An earnest purpose for consecrated Christian work pervaded the thoughts expressed. The massive layers and arches of hewn lava blocks were suggestive of strength and endurance, as well as of a noble beauty growing up. One speaker emphasized the superiority of stone over wood, as unlikely "to go off some day in a puff of smoke," pointing to the black column rising from the burning Kerosene Warehouse. Another spoke of the material as "stone that has been tried by fire." Another spoke of the lava rock, as firm and imperishable as the granite of that New England, from whose shores the imperishable Gospel first came to these islands." They were also termed " fitting and shapely stones, hewn from coarse and shapeless clinker heaps." Altogether, the stone itself came in for much praise. It is the same material which has been used in the fine edifices at the Kamehameha School —the tough, fire-proof lava, of the "clinker" or "aa" variety, full of irregular vesicles. We notice that the upper arch of one of the smaller windows is already turned. Many were glad to hear our brother Bingham's impaired voice ring out so grandly in the well chosen words of the benediction. " July,1891. Ordination of Portuguese Evangelists. North Pacific Missionary, Institute. Pursuant to a call made by the Central Union Church, a Council of neighboring churches and ministers assembled on Saturday, June 13th, and, after due examination, approved Messrs. A. Y. Soares and Robert K. Baptist for ordination to the Ministry of the Gospel as Evangelists. On the evening of Sunday, the 14th, the same Council proceed to ordain them. Rev. S. F. Bishop offered the ordaining prayer; Rev. C. M. Hyde, I). D., gave the Charge to the Candidates; Rev. W. B. Oleson gave the Right hand of Fellowship; and Rev. O. P. Emerson addressed the Congregation, urging especially their affectionate support of the work of these laborers. Mr. Soares has been diligently and successfully laboring for several months, aided by his noble wife, among his countrymen in Honolulu. He is himself a native of the Azores, but converted in early manhood among his Protestant countrymen in Illinois, and there acquiring education and experience as a Christian worker. Mr. Baptist, born in the same Portuguese community in Illinois, and having enjoyed a part of a course of training for the Ministry, has been laboring most successfully in Hilo. It had become clear that, for their best usefulness, ordination had become important for these esteemed and devoted brethren. A great and fruitful work seems to lie before them. A public examination of the scholars of this institution was held at Kawaiahao Church on Friday a.m., June sth, conducted by the instructors, Rev. C. M. Hyde, D.D., and Rev. H. 11. Parker. As in each succeeding year of the past, a marked advance was apparent both in the intellectual training and in the moral and spiritual tone of the young men, giving the right to expect a continuance of that improvement of ministerial character which has marked the accession of the graduates of the Institute to the pastorates of the native churches. The number of students, seventeen, has been larger than in former years, in increase stimulated in part by the greatly improved accommodations. The next great step forward is felt to be the effective introduction of our theological students to the treasures of English books. When nearly all young Hawaiians are tending towauis this, the rising generation of pastors must not be lacking in this accomplish!' ent. But this means additional teaching force in the school. The graduating exercises of five of the students took place at Kawaiahao, on June 7th, before a crowded congregation. The C. U. Sunday School Picnic on June llth, Kamehameha Day, was a delightful affair. Mr. J. T. Wateihouse, Jr., threw open his fine grounds on Wyllie street, in Nuuanu Valley. There was a large lanai covered in, abundant shade of trees, spacious lawns for games, and. just over the brook, broad pastures for base ball. The light breeze of the valley was cool. Some seven hundred persons, large and .small, were present. There was a profusion of choice supplies for luncheon. All seemed to enjoy themselves hugely, and to have no hankering after the rates, six miles away at the Park. The Queen favored the company with her presence at two o'clock, looking well after her busy touring. The Drought continues to be severe on the leeward sides of the Islands. Our gauge shows only 0.20 inch a week for the past month, or about one-third of the average rainfall of past years, while April and May were little better. The lawns of Honolulu are looking very dry, owing to lack of rain in Nuuanu Valley.

Our feelings toward the dogma of Apostolic Succession are entirely apart from our feelings toward the many noble servants of Christ who hold it. THE FRIEND. Co-education for Hawaiians. How many of our readers are acquainted with the effort making in this direction by the Kauai Industrial School at Malumalu in Lihue, Kauai ? How many, indeed, are sensible of the strong reasons believed to exist for making such efforts ? These reasons grow out of the absence among Hawaiians of home training in the proper behavior of the sexes towards each other. By means of the proper intercourse of pupils in the same school in the presence of their teachers, kindly regulating them, proper behavior is to be taught. They are to be educated in the proprieties and common decencies of social life, as well as in books and manual aptitudes. This subject, in this light, is rather new to us—we are deeply impressed by it. There seems a most important work to be done. Hampton has proved how practicable and successful it may be made. We wish every success to the devoted teachers and trustees who have entered upon this important undertaking. We hope to take up this topic again, with added information. Gen. S.C. Armstrong occupied C. U. Prop. H. Rexpord Hitchcock passed Church pulpit in the evening of June away at Hilo June 6th, after protracted 28th with a talk about "our brothers in suffering from cancer in the face. Mr. Hitchcock had occupied many and high positions in educational work, notably as Inspector-General of Schools for several years. He was also the Commissioner in charge of the Hawaiian Exhibit at the Centennial Exposition in IB7f>. Four years ago the Board of Education published his excellent Hawaiian-English Dictionary, a boon to natives learning English. It is only a few months since he completed a Pictorial Bible-Story book in Hawaiian. During his last years, our brother's spiritual life was greatly developed, and towards the end rose to a high elevation, attended by a sustained experience of remarkable joy and peace during his severe sufferings. Mr. Hitchcock was a member of a large class of unusually strong young men who left Oahu College about 1859, from under the remarkand ably able instruction of George Beckwith. black and red"—the needs, the progress and the prospects of the Negroes and the Indians of the United States. We hardly need to say that he was forceful and entertaining. What is far better, his words were actively stimulating to hopeful and consecrated labor for the lowly, to uplift and build them up. God has indeed raised up a powerful helper for those two races in this man. Ostrich Farming at Waikiki seems to be really prospering, after a year's trial. Nineteen young birds are now to be seen, like a cross between half-grown geese and turkeys, all from three females. Dr. Trousseau may reasonably hope for early returns of feathers.

These exercises took place as promised at 3 to 5 p.m., on June 3rd. They were held in the front yard of the Pun hou Preparatory School, immediatel; opposite the corner stone, chairs for several hundred persons being placed under the trees, with a stand for the speakers, only fifty feet from the corner stone. A light shower fell before the exercises, cooling the air. An earnest invocation of blessing was offered by Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, followed by a Scripture lesson and an anthem. Psalm 33 was read as a responsive lesson. Mr. R. F. Dillingham then addressed the congregation in behalf of the trustees, expressing their hope for the furtherance of Christian work and Christian union. Mr. Alexander Young next spoke in behalf of the Building Committee, giving tho history of their work and its results so far. The building is being erected by Mr. Lishman, under salary, his experienced and faithful services ensuring a better result than any contract. He hoped to see the church ready for occupation by August, IH9 2. Mr. J. B. Atherton, the Treasurer, then gave a statement of the financial position of the enterprise, and of the amounts subscribed, and of those paid in. These showed a very favorable aspect. Mr. P. C. Jones, in behalf of the subscribers, acknowledged a debt of gratitude to the Building Committee. "This church is not being built in a spirit of rivalry, but solely for the glory of God, and to provide a proper place where we and our descendants may worship God» for generations to come." Chief Justice A. F. Judd spoke in behalf of the Deacons of the church, whose office he magnified, expressing joy in the solidity of the stone structure, deprecating excess of adornment, and voicing praise and thanksgiving to God for these rising walls and stately towers. Rev. S. E. Bishop spoke in behalf of the membership of the late Bethel Church, expressing their satisfaction at the more than ample fulfilment of the pledge given that a new edifice should be built for the united worship of the two churches. Speaking also in behalf of the Standing Committee, he exhorted the Church not to let the strength and stateliness of the new temple separate them from love and labor for the struggling and sinning world outside. Rev. W. B. Oleson, speaking for the congregation, exhorted to maintaining this building as free to all as sunshine and air; not to abridge its hospitality, but keep the amplest spirit of cordiality and winsomeness to all who seek the house of God, however astray in belief or life. It must be no club house, nor under the sway of any distinctions of social rank or intelligence. It must follow Jesus, in drawing all men unto Him. �56 Mr. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., the Superintendent, spoke for and to the Sunday School. Referring to king Joash's moneybox for the repair of the temple, he stated that the school were making a special monthly collection towards furnishing their future school-room. Givers are needed, the children can give, and God will bless. The children then sang " Onward Christian Soldiers." Salutations followed from various churches. Rev. H. H. Parker, in behalf of Kawaiahao Church, thought it appropriate to select this granite-like native stone, and redeem it for such honor and service. He brought the greetings of the oldest church in the land, the old historic church of Bingham and Kaahumanu. That old church had a warm heart for her younger sister, from whom she had received such continuous and generous aid. The remarkable progress of Christianity here has had its periods of retrogression. But in every cloud there is a promise. May we discern God's presence with unobstructed vision. "Peace be within thy walls and prosperity with- in thy palaces." Rev. Alexander Mackintosh presented the cordial salutations of the people to whom, as a priest of the Anglican Church he ministered, "sympathizing in your efforts to spread and deepen the Gospel of Christ our common Savior." Also their "hope that a building meet for His worship, a refuge for souls yearning for salvation through Christ, will be the result of your labors." Rev. A. N. Fisher represented the Christian Japanese of Oahu, Maui, and Kauai, who owed so much to the liberality of this church, and who are cordial in their salutation, as they find themselves unspeakably advantaged by the new life upon which they have entered. Relieved of the burdens and fears of idolatrous belief, advanced, elevated, exalted in their earthly and their spiritual relations, they are most grateful, and rejoice in your enlargement which is their endowment. .Following a prayer by the Pastor, an original hymn by Mrs. B. P. Dillingham was sung by the choirGreat God, in tender love look down, And bless the work our hands perform; Our labors let thy goodness crown With holy zeal and purpose warm. Behold, a "Corner Stone" we lay In Zion's temple for the Lord; Our consecrating vows we pay With hearts and tongues in glad accord. The Master's hand these builders guide; The Master's grace these walls adorn; The Master's presence here abide, Till breaks the bright, unending morn. Mr. W. W. Hall then read a list of various articles enclosed in the metallic case, and deposited the same in an excavation under the stone. The oldest male member of the Church, Mr. Samuel N.

The regular monthly business meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was held June 18th, in the Hall, President Geo. P, Castle in the chair. There were twentyone members present. Treasurer A. C. Lovekin read his report showing total receipts for the month $423.98; disbursements $238.45, leaving a balance on hand of $184.53. General Secretary S. D. Fuller, in his report said he was very busy getting things ready for his successor. Certain needed repairs have been completed. On account of the partial failure of the electric light system there has been considerable extra labor in lighting the Association rooms. Both parlors have been given up to the evening classes, and are used to their full capacity. Chairman H. W. Feck for the Devotional Committee reported an average Sunday evening attendance of 76, being an increase of 31 over the snme month of last yea.. The Friday evening prayer meeting is increasing in interest. The average attendance is 21. At the last meeting over twenty young men took part. Chairman J. E. Bid well for visitation committee reported twentyfive calls made on the sick during the month. These visits were not confined to members of the Y. M. C. A., but were made to many others as well, to whom such visits are welcome. Chairman E. A. Benner reported the vitation Committee at work. Sunday •.id Friday evenings members are on nand to welcome strangers. Invitations extended to young men on the streets are showing promising results. Many strange faces are being constantly added to our evening meetings. Chairman F.J. Lowrey for the Entertainment Committee reported on Dr. Hammond's very interesting lecture on South Africa. He also said that negotiations were in progress for a lecture on Japan ere long. The Secretary read a communication from Dr. Hyde, who was absent on Maui, shewing an unflagging interest in the work on the Reading Room Committee. The report of Hon. J. B. Atherton, Chairmau of the Finance Committee was read by the Secretary. It stated that the pledges for this year foot up $2,328, and that this amount will not be sufficient to cover the yearly expenses of the Association. For the Hawaiian Branch Committee the General Secretary stated that he still holds the refusal of the lease of Cjueen Emma Hall. It is understood that the Hawaiian Board intend to use Cjueen Emma Hall as a mission. DEVOTIONAL COMMITTEE.

Through the efforts of the Entertainment Committee, a very interesting lectnre on the above topic was given in the Association Hall by Dr. Hammond. The Doctor began his lecture by showing the audience a specimen of the ornithorhynchus, orduck-billed platypus, from Australia. He then took us in imagination to the entrance of the harbor of Cape Town. After describing briefly the city and its surroundings, be drew a graphic picture of the many peoples found in the city. The audi ertce enjoyed the description of a Malay marriage, where—much to the surprise of the Doctor—the groom was enjoying a monopoly of all the vows, promises, &c, while the bride-elect, dressed in her best, presided over a banquet spread in another part of the city. According to the Doctor's description, the bushmen are built on the 4'x6' pattern—the 6' being breadth. It would take too much space to tell of the many interesting things said and curios shown. After the lecturer had finished his description of the country, its people, animals and products, he gave us an earnest address upon the things pertaining to the Spiritual Kingdom. As we understand this dogma, it means that by the laying of the hands of a Bishop or Apostle, himself in like manner ordained through an unbroken succession of bishops or apostles from the time of our Lord, is imparted a peculiar Divine grace, which alone can endow a man with official or priestly authority in the Church of Christ, and that without such Episcopal manipulation, no minister has valid ordination, and no church a valid existence or authority. This doctrine logically compels those who accept it, to treat all the most active and efficient Churches of enlightened Christendom, such as the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Congregational, as having no valid status as churches, and their ministers as being only devout laymen. They may excel other churches in the fruits of Grace, but they have no real grace, because they have never received it through the appointed channel of Episcopal hands. This attitude towards us may be compared to one still more offensive, but quite as reasonable, adopted by some Romish priests, who maintain that no marriage rite is valid unless solemnized by a priest of their church, and that therefore all our parents not so united have lived in unlawful concubinage, and that we their children are bastards. We cannot be expected to hold either view in respectful regard. To call them "figments" is a mild form of expression. We regret to find the Chronicle appealing for support to the belief of "an overwhelming majority of Christians," evidently meaning thereby the vast degraded masses of nominal Christians in the Oriental and Latin churches. It is also an article of faith with most of those people that the earth is flat, and the sun revolves around it. Nor do the lives of those priests and peoples suggest the presence ofmuch Heavenly Grace among them, notwithstanding the diligent transmission by their bishops, of what is supposed to be such. It is our carefully considered opinion that the debasement of those Oriental churches is intimately associated both as effect and as cause with gross forms of the belief that spiritual grace can be imparted by the manipulation of a priest. Such doctrine tends to obscure the idea or concept of real, spiritual Grace. It substitutes for it a sort of magical, semiphysical force. It causes Religion to degenerate into Fetichism, and to become divorced from Morality. Witness the low condition of the Church of F.ngland in the eighteenth century, before the Lord anointed his apostle John Wesley with genuine, heavenly Grace to pour light upon the hearts of the English people.

Give your an the benefit of your sympathy vice. All knowledge whatever is a classi- fication of experiences.—Fiske. Conscience is harder than our enemies; knows more, accuses with more nicety. To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved. The only thing that walks back from the tomb with the mourners and refuses to be buried is character. Friendships are best formed at home. We cannot do everything ourselves; the most successful person is the one who knows best how to use the labor of other people. Giving to the poor lessens no man's store. If the power to do hard work is not talent, it is the best possible substitute for it. There is no remorse so deep as that which is unavailing. Remember this in time. He who chooses the right and shuns the base, has eternity for his friend, brother and father. Zoroaster. — Certain kinds of men and women in the church seem to be of much the same sort of use there, as vinegar and pepper are on the table. They keep us from getting cloyed with love and sweetness. Brethren, pass around the pickles. 59 THE FRIEND. of a bishop, they had neglected the true gifts of the Holy Ghost, so rich and free. Since those days that church has shared very largely in the great Revival of true religion which has especially pervaded English-speaking countries. Even the Roman Church has become greatly enlightened and revived, wherever it is brought into contact with Evangelical religion. Our churches hold to sacramental observances as being the outward tokens of Christ's gifts of inward spiritual grace; but not as in themselves efficacious in imparting that grace, except as they diAs visible rect and stimulate faith. tokens of the Lord's presence and power—as signs and pledges of his promised Grace, these sacramental ordinances are solemnly precious to us. But we would pray to be kept from trusting in them as the bodily vehicles of spiritual grace. Hurricane at Kusaie or Strong's Island. Intelligence of this comes per Morn- ing Star. On March 2d, a heavy gale set in from the northwest, attended by unusual darkness. About 2 p.m. on the 3rd, as reported by Mrs. Rand, the wind shifted to the northeast, and blew a hurricane. Most of the large trees on the island were torn up. The rain was deluging. Most of the natives' houses were destroyed, and all the churches. The mission dwellings were badly strained. Mr. Channon's house was unroofed, and he and his family compelled to seek refuge at Mr. Rand's in the height of the storm, Mrs. C. barely evading a fatal blow from a flying sheet of corrugated roofing. Most of the Rand's house was flooded by the rain driving through the roof. They were constantly strengthening the house with braces and ropes. A lull occurred on the morning of the 4th, after which it blew harder than ever until the wind ceased about 7 a.m. on the sth, after two nights of fear and suffering. Dr. Pease's family had somewhat similar experience. Miss Palmer, Miss Fletcher, and Mrs. Cole had their school of seventeen Ponape girls at Mwot station, on Dove Islet, ten miles distant. Their houses were demolished, themselves having taken refuge first in King Tokusa's house, and then in Mr. Skilling's. "The roof of the king's house was built of very massive timbers," Miss Palmer writes, "as was the whole house; but they shook like reeds in the wind, and it was only because so many men were working with ropes and timbers to prop it up that it stood at all. * * We remained there until about four in the afternoon; by that time it seemed as if every gust of wind must lift off the roof. * * Our third move took us to Mr. Harry Skilling's, a very small house. It was propped in every direction inside and out, and the rafters were tied across with heavy ropes. Mr. S. gave to Miss Fletcher and me the driest place in the �60 THE FRIEND.

There was not much to be ruined, * * some had been left at Ova and was burned with the house. * * It seems such a wonderful thing that, with all the falling houses and trees, no one was killed or injured. * * We are back at Dove Islet (the fallen house re-roofed) again. and with fewer conveniences than before, even, but we can teach the girls, and we have our daily bread (rice mostly just now) a shelter and clothing. It is strange how much we can do without and yet be comfortable. I have not worried as much about this, or even the leaving Ponape, hard as that was, as I have often done over much smaller things." Miss Palmer, who came up on the Star, it will be remembered, had her school close to the massacre last June at Ponape, and concealed several fugitives in her house. She says she would rather experience many hurricanes than the terrors of those days. Not far from Dove Islet, the force of the waves tore up the outer edge of the fringing reef, and piled up a new islet of coral stones, over half a mile long, and five feet high, nearly half a mile from the shore. The natives have record of a similar hurricane about one hundred years ago. Mrs. Rand experienced one like it in Ponape in 1874. The Kusaie natives were almost entirely destitute of food, but were enabled to buy a good supply of rice from a China trader. The Morning Star was at the Marshall Islands at the time. No other island is known to have shared in this tempest. This hurricane at Kusaie naturally connects itself with a remarkable drop in the barometer in Honolulu on March 2d (3rd at Kusaie), also with our cold wave of March 4th (sth at Kusaie), when the mercury touched 48° F. in Honolulu. Also with the cold blizzard in England on March 10th, when so many lives were lost. There is also to be noted the collapse of Kilauea on March sth. It seems not unlikely that the jar of the earth's crust which let out the contents of the lavashaft was owing to the same astronomical conjunctions which caused the simultaneous atmospheric agitations. These are facts for use in the future progress of Meteorology. PM.-- m TJOPP k 1 I'J.IKH. CO.. No 74 King Street, IMPORTERS & MANUFACTURERS OK FURNITURE and UPHOLSTERY. Chairs to Rknt.
