HACK DATES WANTED.- The following issues of Tiik Friend arc wanted to complete 67 F The riend. All of these involve immense expense. They include a very serious possible peril by rupture of dams. Engineers are said to delight in great dams. It would be well if they were always obliged to reside immediately below those which they built. We do not wish to say that Storage reservoirs and a Gravity system are absolutely not to be employed. But we think that in viewof the high prices we are paying for water, we all have the right emphatically to demand of the government no longer to make such an unworthy failure of the business. We say airworthy, because it is unbecoming that, for example, the noble lawns of the Palace and Government house should be in their present condition when a copious supply of excellent water is most accessible at a small expense. Within from three to five hundred feet of the surface is an exhaustless supply of purest water pressing hard to reach the arid ground. One ten-inch Artesian well, costing $2,500, will copiously irrigate two hundred acres of town lota, not over thirty feet above the sea. Steam pumping, to lift the water from thirty to seventy-five feet higher, would cost three or four dollars for what the government charges twenty live. These figures are somewhat loosely drawn from cost of wells and pumping at Ewa Plantation. For fourteen dollars an acre per annum, eight hundred acres of cane at that plantation have for ten months uninterruptedly received not less than ten inches of water a month. This is fully twice the average supply to Honolulu gardens, averaging say half an acre to a $25 tap. That is, we pay $100 for what would cost $14 for steam pumping from Artesian wells. These figures may be a little out, but show the general conditions of the case. If any one can show that the present water-famine is not due to a clear neglect of the most obvious means of supply, we shall be glad to see his arguments. Our condemnation of the past mismanagement of the business will probably include some officials of good judgment and ability, and personal friends of ours. We cannot help that. It is time that this city was supplied with the water which is so copiously stored under our feet; and any man who hinders it is making a very bad record months, a lack of water in the mountains has caused a scarcity in the water sup ply of the city. This scarcity has been gradually increasing, until now the flow of water in the pipes usually ceases at 8 a.m., and in most parts of the city seldom returns until late in the evening. In some parts of the town thirty-six hours have passed without water. As the weeks go on, the mountain and valley springs whit h supply the various reservoirs run low or dry up. There is always some water, and will continue to be, unless the drought increases, which is unlikely ; but the supply is wholly inadequate to the demand, and large portions of the city are becoming unsightly from the drying up of lawns and gardens. The government have created an elaborate and expensive gravity-system, and are deriving from it an immense revenue. The supply is so far adequate to the fastincreasing wants of the city, during rainy weather. When three or four inches a month are falling, and only a little more is needed on our lawns, or when the valley rain-fall is copious, keeping the pipes full, we do very well indeed. Hut this state of plenty rarely obtains more than one-half the time. During the other half of the year, we are painfully for himself. The Prince Consort passed away expectedly and suddenly a few minutes before 5 h.m. on the 27th of August. He had been for several weeks suffering severely from a complication of maladies. This sad event has deeply afflicted the Queen, and placed the Court in mourn- ing, arresting the great preparations for festivities on the Royal Birthday, September 2d. Governor Dominis was in his sixtieth year, born at Schenectady, N. V., March 10, 18.'i2. His mother was a cultivated Bostonian, his father an Italian who had risen to command in the American merchant service. Captain Dominis was, for many years, in lucrative trade in the Pacific, his family residing in Honolulu since about 1837. He was lost at sea in 1850, his widow residing until her death in 1889 in the home mansion in Washington Place. The son received his early education mainly in Honolulu. On the discovery of gold in California, he followed the rush from the Islands at the age of seventeen, serving as a book-keeper to merchants in San Francisco. Returning to Honolulu in 1850, he became book-keeper with Charles Brewer. He subsequently became private secretary to Kamehameha IV. On the 16th of September 1862, he was united in marriage to Miss Lydia K. Paki, now Queen Liliuokalani. On the death of Governor Kekuanaoa, he was appointed Governor of Oahu, an office that he held for more than twenty years. In 1874 he accompanied King Kalakaua, his brother-inlaw, to Washington, and in 1887, with his wife and the Queen Kapiolani, attended the Jubilee celebration of Queen Victoria, anil was received at Windsor Palace. Governor Dominis was a gentleman of somewhat retiring disposition, and of quiet bearing, but of good judgment His counsels in public affairs were generally reliable and serviceable, and were given with tact. The country undoubtedly owes much to his sound judgment and conciliatory action in difficult cir- - cumstances. Her Majesty, Queen Liliuokalani, will receive the profound sympathy of the nation, in being thus bereaved of both husband and brother in a single year. It is our prayer that her sorrow may be mitigated by her enjoying the most affectionate regard of all classes of her people. �[Septmbr, 1891. THE FRIEND. 68 Mrs. Clarissa C. Armstrong. in visitation of the people, much of the time on foot, carriages being hardly known, and saddle horses not easy to provide for. Her influence was great with the women of the church. In 18 18, after the death of Mr. Richards, Mr. Armstrong left the Mission for the King's service as Minister of Public Instruction, Rev. F. W. Clark becoming pastor of Kawaiahao Church. For many long years after this, howevt i. Mis. Armstrong continued as a work ol love, systematic labors among the women, many of whom now advanced in life, hold her in most grateful rememberance. For many years she took charge of the Friday prayer-meeting fur the women. A work which stands as a peculiar monument of her public spirit, was the planting of the church grounds and graveyard with the algeroba and other trees now standing there. Our older citizens, who knew that treeless, I).ti it n region forty and even thirty years ago, can understand what an immense conversion that was of Kawaiahao from Mrs. Ann unsightliness to beauty. strong stimulated the people, and especially the women to the work, personally superintending the whole of it, in the broiling sun. A majority of the old trees have been removed; but the growth of the remainder suffices to fill the gaps. Until in advanced age, Mrs. Armstrong revisited the States but once. After Dr. Armstrong's death in 1860, she continued to reside at the old home, now Punahou Preparatory, Her children being all abroad, in about IWJ3 she sold her home, and removed to San Francisco, in which city and in San Jose she spent several quiet and happy years. A very delightful episode was a trip to the Fast in May, ISS7, m the private car of Mrs. Heminway, who cared for her as a daughter. Mrs. Heminway had long been a munificent friend of the Hampton School. After due rest in Mrs. Heminway's home at the seaside, the aged mother was taken to the school of her eminent son at Hampton, and permitted to see the great work in which she had felt a mother's pride. She there addressed an audience of 700, recounting experiences of missionary In Mf.moriam.. Especial regard is due to the memory of this venerable lady, as one for more than forty years peculiarly identified with Honolulu and its Christian work. She was born in 1805 in Russell, Mass., and had matured into the noble and vigorous woman, of strong judgment, bright speech, and earnest spiritual con secration, whom Richard Armstrong found and won, to bear him company to the then remote Pacific islands. They sailed for Honolulu November With, 1831, arriving in the following May. After one year spent here in learning the language, Messrs. Alexander, Armstrong, and Parker with their wives, were selected to form a new mission to the Marquesas Islands, sailing July 3, 1833. Over six months were spent at Nukuhiva among an exceedingly degraded and cannibal tribe of savages. Their experiences were most trying and fearful. Some of them have been graphically recorded by Mrs. Armstrong's pen. In comparison with the Marquesas, the Hawaiians on their return, though still in much of their primitive condition, seemed truly civilized. That mission was surrendered to the claims of the London Missionary Society, as being south of the equator. The three families reached Honolulu again May 12, 1834, happy to be back in something like civilization. One child had been born at Nukuhiva to the Parkers, now the veteran pastor of Kawaiahao Church. An infant daughter of the Armstrongs had accompanied her parents, now Mrs. E. G. Beckwith. A son was born to them at Nukuhiva, deceased a yeai later. The Armstrongs labored one year at Haiku on Maui, and over live years at Wailuku, associated there with the Greens, and later with the IJaileys, Mrs. Armstrong developing great power to influence the women, and not least, the children. In November, 18JO, the Rev. Hiram Bingham left Honolulu for New England, as it turned out, never to return. For twenty years, Mr. Hing- life. ham had been the acknowledged leader Her last year has been one of weak in the Mission. He was pastor of the ness and suffering. A serious fall was church at the capital, of which the lead- followed by severe pain and nervous ing Christian chiefs were members.

July 20th. Mrs. Armstrong was meantime active The funeral was held at the First - Congregational Church of which she was a member. Rev. Janus M. Alexander conducted the services. Her aged associate at Wailuku, Mr. Kdward Bailey contributed some interesting and touching words. There were floral offerings from her former Chinese Sunday scholars. A beautiful one was contributed in the name of the Hawaiians, by Mrs. Samuel Parker, wife of our Minister of Foreign Allans, a lady whose mother, (Miss Kiltie Richardson), had been a pupil of the deceased at Wailuku. The sacred form was conveyed 10 its rest in Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland. The benediction was pronounced by Mr. Alexander in the Hawaiian tongue. The Woman's Board of Missions for the Pacific Islands. The Twentieth Annual Report of this important society has been issued from the press. As elsewhere, the Woman's Board has made for itself a most prominent place in promoting missionary enterprise, by its gifts hot only, but by the interest and enthusiasm for the Work which it cultivates. We cull and here present leading points in the Report, which closes with June, 1891. We find the amount of $1 198 to have been actually applied during the year to home and foreign missionary work. This is beside Society expenses and incidentals. The Board has paid $W0 each to two lady teachers of Ponape girls, $260 to Chinese mission work, $2<>o to Miss Green as city missionary, and $48 to Bible Readers, who are Hawaiian women under Miss (men's direction. One hundred dollars have also been applied to ''Micronesian Stores," or present to catechists. A society affiliated to the Woman's Board is the Missionary Gleaners, consisting chiefly of young ladies and of the Sunday Schools. This society actually applied to Mission work, the sum of $356.15, including $22 for employing the devoted Bible-reader Kanalulu, lately deceased. $50 to Kawaiahao Seminary, and $200 towards support of Mrs. Rami. Of this amount $261.65 were proceeds of two garden-parties held in October and in May. Still another auxiliary is the "Lima Kokti.t" or Helping Hand, which applied $w5 to Mission work (S2O of this through other Societies). The eight meetings of the year were held in the fine hall of Kawaiahao Seminary, whose pupils constitute a large part of the membership. Many interesting addresses were given. Miss lloppins' [oumal letters from Kusaie were of great help. The Woman's Board held a public meeting of especial interest on June 24th. Mrs. Rand addressed them on the destruction of their work and their houses by the Spaniards in Ponape, and on �Volume 49, No. fc] THE FRIEND. their experiences in the hurricane at Rustic. Calling at Ponap,- in April, on their return to Honolulu, "A dear Christian woman put hei arms about me and said, 'My mother, have you come tt> stay with us ?' They were sad in heart when we told them 'No. We were not allowed to hold any meetings on the island.'' Miss Palmer also spoke, much worn as she was by the labors of s-.ven ye..is, the last ones so severely trying. The gifted Mrs. Alice Gordon Gulick of San Sebastian, Spain, made a most excellent ad dress, bringing the salutations of three Woman's Boards, those of Boston, ol the Interior, Chicago, and of the Pacific, California. She told how during their eighteen years id Spain, Evangelistic work had grown ami prospered. A gieat work now in hand is a Training School for girls and te i hers. A prominent feature in the work ot the Woman's Board, is that of Miss Mary Green, as a missionary chiefly to Hawaiians in this city, with Queen Rmma House as headquarters. Much time is spent in accompanying the visits of the six Bible Readers, at the homes of the native people, in conducting weekly meetings of the "Band of Hope." in visiting the Queen's Hospital, the Lunalilo Home and the Station House. Many ships have also been visited, and supplied with Bible and reading matter. The Woman's Board maintains a close connection with the Chinese and Portuguese Mission work, in which ladies have such a prominent part, also with the Girls' schools of Kawaiahao, Makawao and Kohala. Special reports are included in this pamphlet, from Mrs. F. W. Damon, Mrs. C. M. Hyde, Mrs. J. M. Whitney, also from Mrs. A. X. Fisher, on the work among the Japanese. We are very glad that this Report includes so many subjects. It gives wide views presented in a peculiarly interesting manner of the general mission field with which our churches are connected. It thus in a most import..nt manner. supplements the Annual Report of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, and conveys intelligence of the work to many persons whom that publication does not reach, or perhaps would not equally interest. The Political Importance of Small Landholdings for the Hawaiian Islands. A careful and thoughtful article on this topic has been published in the /'. C. Advertiser. It was originally read before the Social Science Association by Mr. Justice S. B. Dole. He point* out that Plantation employment being unpopular, there is a constant accretion of the l.tboi ing class to the metropolis, and that this tendency is increased by the great difficulty of securing desirablefarm holdings accessible to any market. This laboring element so herded In the city he regards as likely to be a dangerous one, while - working landholders are the most desirable element in any country. Judge Dole therefore advocates "a generous opening of public lands to set tiers, giving particular attention to the occupancy of small holdings." He es timates the public domain, consisting of Government and Crown Lands, as containing 7o,i()0 acres of cane land, and 30,000 of good coffee land, besides 50.. II n more of pasture land available for agriculture, or 150,000 acres in all. Of this, 7.0110 acres have been laid out as holdings under the homestead law. Mr. Dole advocates an active and energetic policy of placing these lands in reach ol small holders. He also points out the large areas of the best lands held by private owners as glazing and forest land, or held merely for speculative purposes. He advocates such mollification of tax laws as would compel such owners either to improve then estates 01 sell them to small holders. He also suggests an early conversion of the Crown Lands into public property, so that they can be treated as other Government lands are. Two hundred and thirteen home steads have been created during a previous biennial period. This is bill a beginning of what is needed These are about equally divided between Hawaiians and foreigners, mainly Portuguese. The system must be greatly enlarged, extended and varied. Judge Dole points out great superiority of the landsystem of New Zealand, which encour ages small settlers, to those ol New South Wales and Victoria, which have given enormous estates to graziers therein- hindering the growth of a ruial population and crowding thecities. Sydney and Melbournealone contain iO per cent. of the people of those two colonies, while the four chief towns of New Zealand contain only 20 per cent, of the whole population. The article closes as follows: "If with ouravailable publicand private lands we should, by the intelligent adoption and administration of a wise land policy, create some three or four thousand holdings within the next ten or fifteen years, owned, inhabited and used by their occupiers, each one becoming a home and family inheritance, and equal to the generous maintenance of a healthy family .life, would we not be working more effectively for the future peace and prosperity of our country than would bo possible by any other disposition of our resources ?" I We sought recuperation last week in an afternoon run to Ewa Plantation, and observation of the new mill and machinery. The great structure is mostly closed in with its corrugated iron covering. We climbed twenty feet or more to a flooring at the top of the diffusioh cells, whence a fine outlook was had over the lands. A large tract has just 69 been ploughed and planted, say 150 acres, next the coral below the mill. The machinery is, much of it, already in place. The twenty-eight long diffusion cells, with their pipes and appurtenances, occupy the east end. On the south side, somewhat elevated, are four strange iron boxes for evaporating the juice, marked "Multiple Effect, Swensun's Patent, Fort Scott, Kansas." They look like mammoth Saratoga trunks. A long range of eighteen centrifugal separators occupy a central position, with the iron stagings above them for the great triple effect vacuum pans. The engines, the rolling mill, the slicers, were apparently not yet on the ground. Some very solid masonry of squared stones was being finished, the stones having been delivered from Honolulu by rail much more cheaply than they could have been hauled by cart from the neighboring hillsides. Nine hundred acres of very handsome cane have four months yet to grow before being shavtd into thin slices, and their juice soaked out in the diffusion cells. This is the new process, as unlike the old, as flour milling with rollers to the old millstone process. A crop of over 1,000 tons is hoped for. On the return train, we were boarded at Pearl City by Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Whitney, looking brown and hearty, from a few weeks' outing at Kahuku, the extreme north point of Oahu, 48 miles from Honolulu. They had come 'My miles by stage, on the first through trip of White's Stage Line. Dr. W. reports the Kahuku cane as having a magnificent growth, a statement confirmed by Mr. Halstead, the successful Waialua planter. Tiny were much interested in the strange sandstone cliffs at Kahuku, which need additional study, though discussed by Dana an 1 others. They had also feasted on the noble oranges of the Kahuku valleys, the last of the old crop. The Kahuku and Waialua oranges far surpass in size and quality any others that appear in the Honolulu market. A Ponape Symposium.—On Saturday, Aug. 15th, the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society held their monthly meeting at Mr. W. W. Hall's. The evening was given mainly to receiving information about the island of Ponape. Queen Liliuokalani was present by invitation, listening with interest. Mr. Rand first gave a topographical account, aided by a map. Prof. Alexander briefly discussed the racial and language relations of the inhabitants. Mrs. Rand read a spirited and compact account of the late Spanish occupation, and the difficulties with the people. All felt much indebted for these illustrations of the subject. �70 THE FRIEND. Homesteads. We give elsewhere, an- abstract of Judge Dole's valuable paper on the importance of small land-holdings. It must be generally felt that the class of farmers of moderate means is the one most needed to be created in this country. Our Portuguese fellow-citizens will naturally contribute largely to supplying this valuable class of the community. As resources for remunerative culture, there will be coffee, cotton, dairy products, hay, and especially fruits for exportation, such as oranges and pineapples. For the profitable culture of fruits, the farmer must have ready access to a leading seaport. Much will have to be done by the government in building roads into the splendid coffee lands of Kona and Puna on Hawaii, and through other districts. The extension of the Oahu Railway around this island will bring large tracts of valuable uplands into communication with Honolulu. The conversion of Crown Lands to the public use is becoming loudly called for, the Sovereign to receive a proper annuity in lieu of the present revenue from those lands. These valuable lands will then furnish large numbers of excellent homesteads to settlers, the taxes on which will form an important addition to the public revenue. The present depression of sugar must render many plantations unprofitable. This will tend to make many considerable tracts of private land available to homestead purchasers. Sugar has been an immense resource for the development of this country. Yet one's ideal for our future, must look to the multiplication of a myriad cheerful country homes, rather than to the absorption of the country by great plantations, to the exclusion of homesteads, with their wholesome social influence-. Work upon the Volcano Road is reported to have been resumed. The finished half has been such a comfort to travelers that much impatience has been felt at the long delay in building the upper half of the road. The new route adopted is said to be a very interesting one. The new Hotel at Kilauea is to be finished in October. When the road is finished, it will be within four hours smooth driving from Hilo, through most picturesque scenes, and must speedily become a place of great resort. The Royal Progress.—By a recen visit to Waianae and Ewa on this island, Her Majesty has completed her very thorough and systematic touring of the kingdom. She has thus shown herself personally to nearly all her subjects. She has expressed interest in theii welfare, has given them much good advice, and by her kindly and sympathetic demeanor, has done much to create a personal attachment and confidence. As The Friend has had occasion to remark in past years, there has been a pernicious atmosphere about the Palace, inherited from past reigns. This is so strong and abiding that only great force of personal excellence in the Sovereign can make the Court a source of wholesome influence. We are glad to record that, so far as we can learn, the Queen has done much to carry with her such healthy influence, as she has visited her people. We earnestly pray and hope that her reign may prove to be a most beneficient one to the Hawaiian race. [September, 1891. Rev. A. N. Fisher.—We deeply regret that by the advice of his physician in San Francisco, this able and devoted brother, has felt compelled to resign his charge of Superintending the Methodist Episcopal Mission to the Japanese in these islands, which he has so ably conducted. Mrs. Fisher after awaiting advices, took passage last week in the Australia to join her husband. The congregation at Central Union Church felt peculiarly favored on July 26th, by two sermons of remaikable spiritual and literary grace from our dear brother, who preached in much bodily weakness, but great spiritual strength. The death of Mrs. Joanna Rosa is keenly felt by a large circle of friends, as well as by her three daughters, the Misses Ladd, and her widowed husband She has been a noble wife and mother Our Delegate at the International Council. Ben Hogan. On Sunday evening Aug. 2.3d, a well packed house at Central Union Church, listened to Ben Hogan the reformed pugilist. Large numbers of the audience were persons rarely seen in a church. He told with a certain graphic simplicity a story of his life just before his conversion, which was not edifying, except as its dark shadow illustrated his change to the light. He was then unable to read, but making large sums of money, and living stylishly at hotels, drinking freely of wine, and gambling. While cruising about town with his much tried wife, in search of amusements, hedrifted into a Sunday night meeting in a theater. There he signed a temperance pledge. After three days of painful keeping of it, he was on the point of seeking something to brace up his nerves. A sight of himself in a glass disclosed a ghastly, shattered condition. The strong athlete, proud of his physique seemed becoming a wreck. He was horrified. A mighty power seized upon him. He fell upon his knees, and cried to God to save him out of this ruin. His heart was filled with a strange triumph and joy. He went out among all his boon companions, telling them "I pray"! Just those words "I pray" ! They thought him insane. But from that he went forward, learned to read the Bible, and spent all his money in efforts to convert souls. We were deeply moved to think how the merciful loving Spirit stooped to touch and vivify that poor blind soul, and fill him with divine joy. He had sought his Father. He had found Him. Can each of us truly say, "I pray" I The Intel national Council of Congregational Chinches having invited the Hawaiian Churches to participate, Justice Lawrence McCully was commissioned as our Delegate to the great meeting of the Council held in London in July. Mr. and Mrs. McCully report themselves to have been most hospitably entertained, and have greatly enjoyed the meetings. Judge McCully was listened to with much interest on the 21st, the closing day, in an address of some ten minutes, in which he briefly reviewed the religious condition of the Islands, and spoke favorably of the Queen, and of the good order of the country. We may congratulate ourselves .in having secured so capable a representative in this important Council. Hawaiian Youths to Study Abroad. Samuel Keliinoi, half-white, and Charles E. King, three fourths white, of the late graduating class of Kamehameha School sailed on the I Ith ult., to enter the Oswego Normal School, and there become fitted for the profession of teaching, Hon. ('. R. Bishop defrays their exexpenses. Bad men hate sin through fear of punishment. Good men hate sin through very love of virtue. Every man is to be valued by his best moment, as each racer is by his highest speed. A talent is perfected in solitude; a character, in the streams of the world. �Volume 49, No. 9.] A Fri'it CULTURE Movement. Several persons have recently started plans for raising pineapples at Fwa, and two fruit companies have been formed for cultivating those and other fruit. The location is considered a good one, chosen mainly with reference to easy trans portation by rail. The upland valleys of that region are known to be especially adapted to orange culture, and Manager Dillingham is advertising for 50.11(10 orange seedlings to be delivered within sixteen months, doubtless in order to facilitate the evidently active movement. We strongly welcome this fruit movement, because we believe it has every element of success, and because it pro mises to create a class of intelligent agriculturists. This class is one of the greatest social needs of this country. Bare-footed Bill.- Like "Jack the Ripper", this is the mythical name of an individual who occasionally leaves tracks of huge bare feet. He enters one or more places of business burglariously on each of two or three nights in a week. Nearly all of these places are within a pistol shot of the Police Station, on streets filled with the glare of electric lights. Several stores immediately adjacent to the Station have been entered. The burglar does some damage in breaking in and breaking open desks and drawers. He takes little save coin, gaining from $5 to $10, and occasionally a larger haul. This has been going on for several weeks. For some reason, the police have failed to gain any clue to this marauder. The public wait with interest to hear that he has looted the police station itself. Otherwise the city seems to be dwelling in profound peace and safety. Uncle Sam has for several weeks not regarded us as needing the protection of a war vessel, and we seem not to be disquieted thereby. Telephone on Hawaii.—Our Hawaii friends are rejoicing in the completion of the line from Kohala to Waiohinu, Kau, via Hamakua, Hilo and the Volcano. The government contributed $2600 to the work. This telephone line is already proving an immense facility 71 THE FRIEND. The Pan-Congregational Council. The International Council ofCongre A Missionary Vessel Wrecked.

It would be a very desirable thing, if the Volcano Hotel management would issue occasional maps ot diagrams, based upon the Government map of Halemaumau, and showing important changes as they occur.

The barque H.W. Almy, which has been engaged to make a short tour through the .Micronesian field in place of the Star, is hourly expected front San Francisco. She will be detained it this port only long enough to take aboard mail and supplit-s and passengers for the mission. All mail matter destined for Micronesia should be promptly delivered at the book rooms of the Hoard, corner Merchant and Port streets. The Morning Star is at San Francisco undergoing repairs. It is expected that she will be ready for sea by the hrst of November, when she will be under the command of Captain Garland. Key. A. C. Walkup is expected by the en route for the Gilbert Islands.

In speaking of bis trip to North field to attend the Convention for BibleStudy held at the Moody school, he writes, "We left Oberlm June 'Jt'.tli, and saw Buffalo, Albany, Troy, Hoosac Tunnel, and arrived at Northfield June 27th, at 1:30 p.m. After a half hour's ride we reached the grounds. The hills and the valleys reminded me of my island home, and for a time I was quite homesick. We had our liist meeting at 8 P.M., and I saw Mr. Moody for the first time. I went up to him and had quite a talk with him. At the farewell meeting (which closed the convention) I was called on ami made a ten-minute speech. Over 500 students were present from all around the world, and 1 am sure we all received great blessings. I feel that I have gained much by this going east lam stronger for my work. I would like to go once more to Northfield before returning home, because I feel that my work will be of an evangelistic nature and Mr. Moody can help me a great deal. We heard Dr. Smith of Edinburgh, Prof. Thompson of Philadelphia, Prof. Harper of Chicago, Prof. Munhall (of I forget where}, and many others. The whole atmosphere of Northfield is filled with the glory of God, to see the place is to know that Cod dwells there." The Hon. Lawrence McCully, our Delegate to the Pan-Congregational Council held in London, writes (July 13th): "About ten days ago, I presented my credentials to the Assistant Secretary received. Being asked if we would accept private hospitality, I expressed some doubt as to the propriety of it in my case, as we were already living at a hotel, and we might not employ all our time in attending the meetings of the council, having some sight-seeing yet to do. On being told that my conscientious difficulty need not be a difficulty, I assented. He told me we had been selected for guests by a Mr. Albert Spicer, about the nicest house they had. By what 'suites' Mr. Spicer made this selection in the dark I know not, but going there on the 11th, the Saturday evening proceeding the week of the Council, we find that the lines of your delegates have truly fallen in pleasant places. "Mr. Spiieis's family live at Woodford on the edge of Kpping Forest, a halfhour's ride by train from the Liverpool Station. Here is a commodious and well-appointed house in ample grounds. We have spent the Sunday and have promise of a most pleasant week. There will be other guests in the house, two of which have arrived. Dr. Kaseby and wife of Sydney agreeable people —he an able man. "The tirst of the programme we have done this morning- a'breakfast at the Hoi born Restaurant to the American and Colonial Delegates. I met Prof. 1-isKc, who at once spoke to me of Dr. Hyde. Many others I met who are not fixed by any circumstance. I was proud ol our Americans in the speeches made at the breakfast. "You will see by the piogramme that apparently all the work is cut and dried for the men selected to give papers, and nothing heft lor debate or committee business. So your delegate may, probably must, represent you by attendance merely at meetings, breakfasts and garden parties, and by social interviews, of which I shall make many."

I spent the first p rt of my time here in arranging and 1 pymg words for a vocabulary, that Mr. Logan had prepared, that no one before this has hatl time to put into a book, so that they can be used. I made two copies and will put up one with the Ruk reader and a Testament, for you to give to the missionary who is on his way to us, that he may have it to use on his way down. 1 think I should have done considerable will you send the pack go back to me. I hope nothing will prevent his i oming, for our needs are very great. Mr. Snelling is doing all that he can, hut he can not be in two places at tr-e same time, and when he is away at the out stations ol course the school must be neglected. It seems to me very long t.me to wait for these children who are in our schools to grow up befere the melange can he sent out among the people, and 1 hope that we should have more help, that the "brighter day" may not be so very long in coming. I have found the wi rk very much as 1 expected, only not quite so far advanced, for 1 had not realized that the mission to these Is lands was begun at a much later date than that if the other plates. Hut there is already some fruit from the labor done, and "our father' only km ws what the harvest in the future will be. I received the warmest welcome wlun I reached here, and have found mough to keep me busy all of the time, though I have been very anxious to conquer the language so that I can talk free.y with the people. I commenced teaching in the Sunday School when I had been here two months. At first I wrote what I wished to say, and Mrs. Logan corrected it and I read it as best I could. Now Ido not often ask corrections, and sometimes talk without the paper. I fouud it very much easier to read the language than to understand it when I hear it spoken. I have tried two small meetings one with some ol the women and one with some of the girls who are in the general School. I have visited a few of the huts, homes I cannot say, to see some sick people. At first I felt as though I could not enter them, as they are so low and foul, but for the hope of helping a poor woman I have been a few times. (), we need more strength and time so that one of us can give her time to work for the women. I have been wishing since I have seen so much suffering, that I could have a hospital for the children, and so take care of some who are sadly neglected and who die in consequence. Just now within call, almost, of our home, a little girl lies dying, that I think might have been saved if I could have given her medicine regularly, but I could not go to her, and her people could not care for her. lam not sure that this would be a wise thing to do, but J know of very much suffering that could be prevented. Mr. Logan had a thought for a hospital for grown people, but I do not think I could possibly take the responsibility of such an establishment. I find that my work at home, among the colored people of the South has helped me in verymany ways to be able to understand the work here and also the people: whether it is clothed or unclothed humanity, the heart life is essentially the same, and the same methods must be used to awaken them to a new life.

This page is devote*.! to the interests ><l th« Honolulu Young Mens Christian Association, anil the Board ->l Directors are i«:s|HjnsiMe for its COOSOBtk. Monthly Meeting. The business meeting of the V.M .( .A. for August was opened with some lilleen members present, President G. P. Castle presiding. In the Treasure's absence the Secretary read his report, showing total receipts for the month $693.31; disbursements $559.fi11, leaving a balance on hand $132.71. Besides the ordinary expenses $2(> for Chess Tables and Slfor Bibles were expended. The General Secretary, H. W. Leek, reports continuance of the praise worthy spirit lately manifested in our Sabbath evening meetings. The Art and Science classes are reported as increasing in numbers. Several of the Y. M. C. A. committees are to be strengthened by the addition of new members. The report of the Chairman of Devotional Ce>mmittee printed elsewhere, speaks of some changes in the Friday night meetings. It is full of interest. Chairman C. B. Ripley of the Temperance Committee says: "During the past two months we have been engaged in securing inforniatiem and statistics which will be used in aggressive tun perance work at the proper time.'' This committee has had special meetings, and in them, has prepared the preliminary work looking towards the formation of a Temperance League. Chairman J. E. Hid well of the Visitation Ce>mmittee reports special meeting and appointment of various mem bers to the different departments of the work. Twelve sick calls were made this month. Fifteen vessels have been visited, with very gratifying results. A destitute family was supported and look ed after for some time until taken in charge by a society. An Australian Y. M. C. A. man was found in one of the vessels. He was overjoyed to Snd a Y. M. C. A. in Honolulu. Chairman E. Bennerof the Invitation Committee tells us of their successful efforts in detailing the members of the Committee to individual work. They will cooperate with the visitation committee in street work, and have decided to remodel the Invitation Cards. They are firmly determined te> do more e>utside work on the streets and among the shipping. The Chairman of the Reading Room Committee, Dr. Hyde, reports the rooms well patronized by an appreciative public. Among the newspapers, the S. I'\ Alta has been replaced by the S. F. Examiner. The Committee would gladly send reading matter to any locality em the Islands as well as among the shipping if communicated with. A request is made that the place left vacant by Mr. K. A. Jones he filled. Chairman F. J. Lowrey of the Entertainment Committee reports two special committee meetings this month. At the first was considered an offer from California parties to give a series of illustrated lectures. The Cominitte were unable to avail themselves of the offer. The Rev. W. 11. Gulick was invited to give a talk on Spain, which he did to an appreciative audience. At the second meeting, it was decided to arrange for a series of six practical talks. But in view of Mr. Hogan's presence with us, as well as the public lectures of the Art and Science Club, it was decided to leave the elates of tlie:se six talks open for the- present. An entertainment from which it is hoped to realise financially is also in view for the near future. Chairman G P. Castle of Employment Committee gave an oral report in which he told of many applications for work. The Committee have been able to find employment for but few. No report was received from the Fin- ance Committee. A collection of $6 was taken up. Five new voting members, Messrs. Ellis, Castino, Kayser, Rhodes and Dr. Nichols, and two new associate members, Messrs. Putnam anil Silva, seven in all, were- added to the Association. The special report of the Temperance Committee on the new league was submitteel. It was decided that a special meeting of the Y. M. C. A. be called to consider this report. The suggestion of putting wire mosquito netting in the windows anil door ef the Reading Room was referred to the Board of Directors. A very interesting talk by Mr. Hogan on his experiences in temperance work, closed what was perhaps the most interesting meeting ol the year. J. Barnet, Recording Secretary. Winning Men. How can we win men ?" has been a ever present to Christians. No one can give an unqualified answer. Some general methods may be stated, which when varied to suit any particular Paul, in case will generally succeed. I Cor, 10:32, 33, gives us one secret of his success. " Give DO occasion of stumbling either to Jews or to Greeks, or to the Church of God ; even as I also please all men in all things not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many that they may be saved." Paul was a close student of human nature. As far as possible he adapted himself to the men with whom he came in contact. To the Jew, proud of his descent from Abraham, he dwelt upon the honors anel glories of such an ancestor, but led up to the one theme- Christ. The learnedly superstitious Athenian al- " problem 1891. ways ready to hear some new doctrine was taught Christ from an inscription on an altar "To the Unknown God." Paul took advantage of any tendency in the right direction. Starting with something upon which all agreed he leel up to the higher truth. He avoided exciting opposition or arousing prejudice, yet no man could state, or did state, the truth in plainer terms. The secret of it was that he used his common sense in religitius matters as well as in worldly affairs. Now, perhaps, we can give a better answer to the question, "How will you win a man ?" By knowing him, studying him. Study him as carefully as ye>u possibly can. Find out the trend of his thoughts. Find out his prejudices and his preferences. How is it possible to do this in every case? It is not possible for everyone to know each case even e>f those with whom we often But it come into personal contact. is possible for each Christian to thoroughly know the character of at least a few. If each of us would use that knowledge for God, as we do use it in advancing our business, what a change would appear in the religious life of our neighbors and ourselves ! The world is full of God. His hand is easily seen in nature, in all that is What of neible, true and elevating. that? Why, use it to win your brother. Somewhere in each human heart you will find nuggets of gold deposited by the Spirit at God. Dig them out of your brother's life and use them as the nucleus for the deposit of more. Is he a lover of home or is he loyal to a friend ? Take that as your starting point, encourage him in that, and yet by your thought and life show the superiority of "The Friend, that sticketh closer than a brother." We often have need to win a brother Christian. What an ignoble sight it is to find men who profess to have taken upon themselves the name of Christ and yet are not men on speaking terms. How painfully true it is that Christians often run down each other's reputation. Do we expect to win our brother in that way? Men who pray for help to the same God. Men who are fighting their way upward to Ge>d by the aid of His spirit, are femnel picking flaws in each e>ther. Getd deicsn't do that; nor is it Godlike to do it —the very reverse. How can we win a brother ? By doing as (iod does. He who knows all things and can fully appreciate the struggles, failures and victories of these human hearts ever uplifts, ever listens with infinite tenderness to the faintest prayer for help to live the Christ-like life; He it is that we shoulel imitate. What shall be said of a Christian, who wraps himself up in exclusiveness, folds himself up in the robes of "social distinction," and can find little or no heartfelt and action-producing sympathy for those whose natural life is on a lower plane—what shall be said ? �75 THE FRIEND.

But we thing is the sign manual and mark of need not spoil a good story for the sake the King upon it. of the probabilities. of Christianity, viz., love to God as seen in our love for man. It can't be simulated. It isn't patronizing or condescending. It is natural, for when a man hecomes a Christian, he is born into a new life, and the essence of that life is love. In the little span of time allotted to each of us. no man, much less a Christian, can afford to let these little petty distinctions keep him from using every iota of his influence and power for God. I suspect, that em that Great Day, when the secrets of all hearts shall be revealed, we shall all be thoroughly ashamed, when, in the light of eternity, we see how narrow and prejudiced we often were. — — haps, we shrink from the cold, calculating, commercial view of the Atonement, wherein the sufferings of Christ are represented as thrown into one arm of the scales to balance the weight of human desert cast into the other. * * Criticizing, however, that "steel-yard" method of interpreting atonement, is an entirely different thing from saying that the guilt of our sins, yours and mine, does not need in some way to be compensated for. The theory that if a man does wrong, all that is necessary in order to have the case made good, is that he should repent of the wreing, is demoralizing; it would be fatal to the administration of civil government; and is just as certain to blur, in man's estimate, the administration of the divine government. It cheapens holiness, and keeps iniquity in good spirits. It is a thought ingrained in the human mind, history through, that sin is stamped with a cost-mark. The doctrine of sacrifice for sin has always kept pace with the keenness of the sense of sin. * * There is almost nothing that we need more to feel than that sin is bad, and the more feeling we do have of that, the clearer it becomes to us that sin needs to have some sort of notice taken of it, and that pain is its natural seeiuencs. NOW Atonement fits that fact ; I do not know how ; I have ne> particular anxiety to understand how. The matter is so great a one. and the beginnings of it so deep and so far away that thought at its best has probably never done more than But there is the graze its nearer edge. Cross! Sin needs to have some notice taken of it, and sin has there had some notice taken of it. And by accepting as my Savior the Lamb of God, who on the Cross was made a sacrifice for Sin, I became a participant in the purposed benefits of that sacrifice. * We are saved not by our theory of the atonement, but by the atonement. Sometinn s I have one theory of it, and sometimes I have another theory of it, and more commonly I haven't any theory of it, but that does not interrupt its efficacy, any more than having no theory in regard to light prevents the daylight from coming in at the windows.

In a morning walk up Punchbowl, looking off upon the city with its rapidly growing improvements, the thought strongly presented itself; All this is the It is their work of our Mechanics. trained hands and eyes that have fashioned #all these beautiful dwellings, stores, and churches. They Jiave all been planned and devised by the brains of the mechanics who have risen in theii calling by diligence and study. Our mechanics have directly created this beautiful city by their skill and their labor. Without their knowledge, their aptitude, their toil, it could not have been bettered above the thatched cottages that dotted these grounds fifty years ago. It is well then that our Mechanics should unite to promote their own and the public welfare. To every such organization that they form, we wish the best direction and the highest efficiency. Our public affairs need the ablest and best organized aid of this essential and prominent element in the-community. Every public interest needs their active cooperation. Every reform needs their assistance. Especially do the personal IN MEMORIAM. Mrs. Melicent K. Smith. This beloved and honored Missionary mother was taken to her rest last week, after some twenty months of severe illness. She died at her home in Koloa, Kauai, Sept. 24th, in the 75th year of her age. During nearly the whole of the period named she had been confined to her bed, requiring constant care by day and night. In immediate care of their mother, were the Misses Emma and Juliette Smith, and Dr. J. K. Smith. The deceased was born at Greenwich, Ct., Oct. 15th, 1818, Dr. and Mrs. Smith, with Rev. and Mrs. Rowell sailed from Boston in 1842, via Cape Horn, in the brig Abigail, of 210tons, arriving at Honolulu, Sept. 21st. She had resided in this Kingdom just forty-nine years, without once leaving the islands. Indeed she rarely left her home on Kauai. On that island she was a radiant center of influence. Rare mental and personal charms, a character of strength and force, a consecrated and elevated spirit, made her a power for good to the people for whom she and her noble husband labored. They also made her a person of the highest social importance on that island. One could hardly be said to have known Kauai, who had not sojourned in the gracious and hospitable home of Dr. and Mrs. Smith, which was the only stopping place for strangers passing through Koloa. During the arduous labors of Dr. Smith as a medical missionary, and his frequent and protracted absences on duty, often toother islands, Mrs. Smith's great intelligence enabled her to take his place in prescribing and supplying mcd- icines to the natives and often to foreigners. Her labors in that work were often heavy. She was peculiarly trusted and loved by the people. In Sabbath School work, and in the prayer meetings, her labors were great, notwithstanding the care of her large young family. One of the most prominent and effective departments of Mrs. Smith's missionary work was in conducting, for a long period, the Koloa Girls' Training School, of some 2-r pupils, in conjunction with her daughters, and for a time, her sister Miss Knapp. From this school have gone forth a large number of well trained and useful Christian Hawaiian women. Her mental faculties were active to the last. She calmly conversed of her approaching end, and arranged for it, in the full assurance of faith and hope. Of nine children, two died in infancy. The survivors are Miss Emma C. Smith, of Koloa; Mrs. Judge A. S. Hartwell, of Honolulu; Hon. William O. Smith, of Honolulu; Dr. Jared K. Smith, of Koloa; Mr. Alfred H. Smith, of Ewa Plantation; Mrs. Wm. Waterhouse, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa; and Miss Juliette Smith, of Koloa. Twenty grand children also survive her. Thus has closed a noble life, rich in beauty and in fruit. It is such lives as these, which have planted deep in Hawaiian soil, the seeds of the highest life and progress, and which have generated all that is hopeful in our future. > Miracles. There is abundant evidence that the whole material universe undergoes all its movements and changes according to fixed, exact, and changeless laws. A stone inevitably falls to the ground by the law of gravity, unless something interposes. If you see stones go sailing through the air instead of falling to the ground, you impute that to the interfering agency of some person who is projecting the stones. There is no violation of the law of gravity; that is immutable. But a personal force is applied which changes the result. This, however, is not a miracle; because it is not wonderful. It is nothing but what human personal force is adequate to produce. If Elijah smites the river with his mantle, and the rushing water stops and heaps up, leaving dry ground for the prophet to cross upon, it is perfectly reasonable and philosophical to infer that a great personal force has been exerted by some being to produce that wonderful effect. The Law of Gravity has not been violated or neutralized, but its effect has been counteracted by an opposing �76 force not visible to the eye. As human by Higher Critics. A vast amount of force is manifestly inadequate, it is historical research has been expended. sound to infer that a higher than human Men have grown famous in these re—a superhuman power has done it. searches and explorations.

There is a general that being. It is just as philosophical believe that God has thus interposed His personal force and performed miracles, as to believe that men do great works. Whether any alleged particular miracle has been actually so wrought, is simply a matter of historical research and evidence, like any other historical to event. The fact that multitudes of pretended miracles have been performed, does not justify the discarding of all miracles. It only imposes the duty of great care and caution in weighing the evidence as to any alleged series of miracles. To deny altogether the reality of such miracles October, 1891. THE FRIEND. agreement among leading scholars as to what is the correct text of the Creek New Testament,and all versions in other languages are now made from such a Standard Greek Text. Much similar work has also been expended upon the Old Testament, but the results are less satisfactory, because the old Hebrew manuscripts have disappeared. While we can be sure that we now have the books of the New Testament, substantially as they were originally written, we are compelled to be equally certain that in the Old Testament there is a multitude of errors, most of them of no serious importance, but which there seems to us quite as unscientific and are no means of correcting. illogical as to believe in all miracles. The Higher Criticism also, has long been very busy upon the New TestaThe Higher Criticism. ment, especially during the present century. The names of Strauss, Baur and There are what are called the "Lower Renan successively became famous for Criticism" and the "Higher Criticism," their powerful, ingenious, and brilliant which are applicable to all ancient books. attacks upon nearly all the books of the Take for example, the Iliad and Odyssey New Testament, which they tried to prove, could not have, been written by of Homer. The business of the Lower the persons, nor at the time, to which Criticism is "to settle the text," that is, they are attributed. They argued that to compare all the ancient Greek manu- those books have grown up somehow scripts of Homer's works, and find out during the second and third centuries as accurately as possible, what were after Christ, and that their statements probably the actual words of the poems of fact were therefore unhistorical and as they originally existed. It is also, as imaginary. Meantime Baur effectually we understand, a part of the work of the confuted the particular hypotheses of Lower Criticism, to determine the actual Strauss, and Renan confuted them both, each having a different scheme of his meaning of the writer's language. The task of the Higher Criticism is a own, by which to account for the way very different one. That would inquire, in which the books grew up.

A multitude confidence as it is now. The battle has of volumes have been written upon them been fought and won for the complete and certain truth of the New Testament history. There has been no fault in Higher Criticism itself, in its true principles and proper working. The error has lain in a certain false and unphilosophical rule of judgment, which has coirupted the work of Strauss and Co. from beginning to end, and has vitiated all their results. That false canon or rule of Criticism has been made by them a fundamental one, and has plunged them into hopeless mazes of error. Their chief canon is this; wherever a miracle of any sort is reported, it is an error. It is "unhistorical;" it is a thing impossible to have happened. It must therefore be accounted for, either as a piece of wilful deception on the part of the wonderworker, or else as a misconception of fact on the part of the observers and narrators, if not a falsehood. If it is none of these, and few of the Bible miracles can be thus accounted for—the solution is very simple; of coutse the story must have been written long after the event, when mists and marvels had gathered about the history by natural accretion. Consequently, the Gospels and other books must have been written long after the events described. This false rule of criticism lies at the bottom of all the critical work of Strauss, Baur, Renan, and their many followers, and fully accounts for all their vagaries and untenable theories. The work of these errorists has, nevertheless, been of the utmost use, in an indirect way. It has led to such a profound and exhaustive searching of the New Testament and of all books and monuments contributing information about it, that the Book is now known as it never was before, and never would have been known but for the tremendous struggles of that war about its authen- ticity. HIGHER CRITICISM Of TUB OLD •> TESTAMENT. The field of conflict has latterly been transferred to the Old Testament, at which a new set of Anti-miracle Critics have set themselves with a zeal rivalling that of those before named. They have the advantage, such as it is, of working in a region of greater obscurity. The Hebrew language is less thoroughly understood than the Greek. Moses and the other writers lived when no other histories were written. There was no contemporary literature. It was all deep back in the long ago. Kuenen, Wellhausen & Co., who have led in this work can disport their fancies freely in constructing hypothesesof authorship, which cannot so easily be disproved as those of later periods. As miracles, they say, are impossible, and God could not have revealed himself to men as described, they conclude that the five books of Moses and that of Joshua, constituting the "Hexateuch," are the work of later writers, and of several different ones. �Volume 49, No. 10.] They also have a great variety of differ- teuch, and many other points for which ent hypotheses about the oftier books. they seem to find strong evidence, but In fact they have among them several who yet cling firmly to the principle of hundred different parts of schemes for a direct revelation to Israel from God, explaining how the books came to be written, all more or less contradictory of each other. They only agree in the belief that Moses and the earlier prophets could not possibly have written them. The points in which the Higher Critics are most generally agreed, are that the work of from four to six different writers (Kuenen makes seventeen; Wellhausen twenty-two) can be traced in the Hexateuch. These different men, living between 900 and 45(1 B. C, had part in composing ourpresent Pentateuch, which may be divided into four main documents, marked D, E, J, P, mixed together in great confusion, and now with great difficulty partly disentangled. E is an "Elohist" writer; J is a "Jehovist;" D is a "Deuteronomist;" P is a "Priestcodist." Many add R for "Redactor." These subtle critics are able to discern and distinguish infallibly the different styles of the several writers, and to disentangle their separate contributions from each other, as they are intermingled in the same chapters. They do this by their peculiar critical insight and acumen, as one distinguishes the handwritings of his acquaintances from each other. The reasons for their conclusions can be imparted only to minds like their own in gifts and attainments. The rest of the world must accept the work of these Critics in simple faith. As Dr. Howard Osgood sets forth at length in the Independent of July 30th, their methods and procedures are for the most part, in the highest degree unscientific. As an example, a recent writer of this school has proved to his own satisfaction that King David could not possibly have composed any of the Psalms, because he was too low and heathen in his ideas about Jehovah, to have written such advanced and elevated thoughts of God. It is the established conclusion of this school of critics, that the Jehovah of the Israelites was originally a tribal God, like Chemosh of the Moabites, but that the nation gradually and spontaneously evolved or developed the idea of a Holy Supreme Cod, not, however, until towards the time of the Exile. Evolution, which accounts for everything, is made to account for the wonderful and unique religion of the Jews, although all the neighboring nations, with the same environment, kept plunging deeper and more darkly into polytheism, and but for the Elijahs and the Isaiahs, dragging Israel with them. 'These critics, as a class, wholly discard the possibility of any direct Revelation or Inspiration from God. EVANGELICAL HIGHF.tt CRITICS. 77 THE FRIEND. and to the truth of miraculous interpositions. They are devout, earnest Christians, and men of profound learning, such as Delitzch, Francis Brown, and Charles A. Briggs. They may or may not have been more or less carried away by the specious arguments of the leading school of the HigherCritics. We have no Semitic learning qualifying us to form any judgment upon this question. It seems to us not improbable that Moses in Genesis and Exodus incorporated the work of earlier writers. Nor is the idea to be hastily rejected that lateradditions to Moses' work may have been incorporated with the Pentateuch. Such questions cannot be dogmatically settled, but must be left to the study and research of competent scholars and experts to see what can be learned about them. This school of Evangelical Critics, Dr. Briggs, as we understand him, included, firmly believe that God did directly and continuously reveal his will and ways to Noah, Abraham, Moses and Israel as recorded in the Old Testament. To them the questions of the precise authorship of the different books and parts of books are of minor importance. They feel that the whole Old Testament pulsates with the presence of the Living God, and throbs with the power of the Holy Ghost inspiring the Prophets of the Lord. They do indeed depart from the old ways of most of their churches, in denying Plenary Inspiration to the book, and admitting more or less Errancy to exist, especially in merely historical statements. But they appear to hold strongly to a very mighty Dynamic Inspiration filling the Book, in such degree and power, as to reveal God very clearly and unmistakably, so as to render the Book a sure guide in the knowledge of His will and ways. phasized by the action taken in his case last June by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. Union Seminary had just elected Dr. Briggs to the chair of Biblical Theology. By agreement of the Directors many years ago, the General Assembly had the privilege of vetoing such appointment. They exercised that power, and disapproved, by an overwhelming majority of about 400 This to 60, or over eighty per cent. vote undoubtedly expresses the deliberate judgment of the majority of the ministers and elders of the Presbyterian churches, that by reason of his errors, this distinguished scholar and accom- plished teacher is unfit to take part in training their young ministers. This vote does not pronounce him such a heretic as to be unfit to teach the common people as a minister. That is the business of his Presbytery. The Assembly only declares him unfit to train young ministers to teach the people. The Directors of Union Seminary have formally declined to be governed by this veto' of the Assembly. They stand by their appointment. In so doing, they undoubtedly set themselves in antagonism to the positive opinion of their Church. The contest is necessarily a very serious one. The action of the Assembly was severely attacked by the friends of Dr. Briggs in the N. Y. Evangelist. He had no trial. He was not present. He had no opportunity to answer his accusers. No charges were formulated against him. No friend of his was appointed on the Committee to consider his case. The Chairman and leading spirits of that Committee were chosen from Princeton, the great rival of Union Seminary. It must probably be admitted that the action of the Assembly would have had more appearance of fairness and justice, if that Committee had been differently constituted, and the friends of Dr. Briggs had been heard before it. It would also Dr. Briggs on His Trial as a Heretic. have had more moral weight with the general public, if the action had been The agitation centering about the case more deliberate.

Dr. Beckwith, on the evening of the 27th, preached a discourse of great fitness and power, to the youth of our schools, a large representation of whom were present. In the September number of The Review of Reviews appears an article on the Hawaiian Kingdom by Sereno E. Bishop. A special head-line, "The Cross-Roads of the Pacific," is given to it on the title-page of the magazine. 150 copies were promptly sold out by the news-rooms, and more are ordered. To the writer of the article, its chief interest lies in certain forecastings as to the effect upon our international relations, of the pending opening «f the Nicaragua Canal. This also appears to be the opinion of the American editor of the Review, Dr. Albert Shaw, who solicited the writing of the article. The reputation of the English editor, W. B. Stead, has given this monthly an immense circulation. We have received many favorable expressions about our article, as adapted to be of service to Hawaii abroad. Homesteads.—Apropos of Judge Dole's article, noticed in our last issue, notice is given of fifty ten-acre homesteads to.be disposed of from Crown Lands near Olaa, on the Volcano Road. The leases are nominally for thirty years, but will undoubtedly soon merge into fee simple titles from the government. The soil is of the richest, rain copious, and road to Hilo the very best. This will be a great boon to small farmers, like the Portuguese. The lands are suited to coffee, oranges, bananas, etc., and the higher tracts, to Irish potatoes. Larger tracts in the same region are to be had on long leases, which also will soon become convertible into full titles. About a month ago, there was serious difficulty at Kohala, between a large body of Chinese laborers who came by the Pactolus, and the Chinese agent who had negotiated their labor with the Planters. The trouble is charged to resident Chinese, who were opposed to a decline in wages, and who stirred up the new comers to dissatisfaction with their pay. It is credibly charged that the police used considerable unnecessary violence towards the complainants, who were probably more or less disorderly. No official report of the affair has yet been made public. It is both right and politic that full investigation should be made, and exact justice should be done, in the case of such new comers, as well as of all other contract laborers. , �Volume 49, No. 10.] 79 THE FRIEND. Lahaina has got a Sprinkling Cait. What Lahaina ought to have had thirty years ago, was good water works, for which there is every natural facility. They would have made a Paradise of that dusty neglected beach. Waikiki is nowhere in natural beauty, compared with Lahaina, which ought to become the finest seaside resort of the Pacific. The Water Famine has been allayed by a moderate quantity of mountain showers, filling the reservoirs. A curious evil attending empty water pipes, is the way in which persons open a tap, and no water coming, forget to close it. Considerable damage has been done this way by open taps over stores.

This page is devoted to the interests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by th** Board is responsible forits contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, 81 THE FRIEND. - Editor. The North Pacific Missionary Insti- tute is to open on the 12th of October. The Oahu Evangelical Association is Waialua with Pastor Timoteo. Exercises are to commence on Wednesday the 7th at 10 a.m. to hold its fall meeting at The contract for building the Portuguese Chapel at Hilo has been given to Mr. Anderson, who has been doing some fine work there of late in the line of school building. The Chapel will probably be ready for occupancy by the latter part of November. When it is done we shall expect to see a truly comely structure and one just adapted for the work. The building is to stand on a sightly lot with ample room beside it (or a parsonage. Mr. Baptist and his people are to be congratulated on the prospect of being so speedily and nicely housed in a church-home of their own. On the 10th of September, Rev. A. C. Walkup and two children sailed from this port on the //. W. Almy for Apaiang. Consul Rand was also a fellowvoyager with him. Mr. Rand hopes ultimately to get as far as Ponape. Mr. Walkup will probably stay at Apaiang till the Star arrives. His presence will be very welcome to the brethren of the mission just at this time of great awakening. It is a source of deep regret to us that he cannot at once begin touring through the group. In view of the latest news received it would seem especially helpful could he do so. For these are indeed critical days for that much-stirred people, and they are in great need of wise counsels and strong leadership. The meeting of the Hawaii Association at Hilo was a full one, only two pastors being absent, and only two parishes being without representation. There weie eleven nativePastors present and fifteen delegates. It is to the credit of the Hawaiian brethren that they are so generally faithful in their attendance on these semi-annual gatherings, for the doing of this is attended with much labor, weariness and expenditure of time and money. The meetings began on Thursday the 10th at 10 a.m., and closed*Saturday at 5 p.m. Most of the guests were accommodated at the Haili Parsonage with Pastor Desha, and meals were served there bountifully every day. The scattered Onomea church is being gathered together again and the parsonage there is to be repaired. A complaint against their pastor came from a small faction of the parish at Laupahoehoe, but was dismissed by the Association as unworthy of notice. The Waipio church is in arrears to its pastor. Query:—ls this the result of his five months' absence from his paiish last year ? The leaky parsonage at Waiiriea.has not yet been repaired nor has a new one being built by the committee charged to see to it. 'The Association voted to put Miss Elizabeth Lyons on the committee, and it is believed that by her influence thewoik will now be speedily done. Pastor Kalaiwaa is authorized to raise $500 for the final repair of the big KaiPastor Desha is lua meeting house. very much wanted at Kona. The Association recommended that he think twice before deciding to leave his present field. Alawa, the General Sabbath School Superintendent for the Konas, has been arrogating to'himself undue authority. His case was brought up before the Association for consideiation, and the pastor of the church where he attends was commissioned to return and labor with this mistaken brother, and a committee was appointed to consider the whole matter of the appointment and authority of General Sabbath School Superintend ents. It seems that they are apt to be dictatorial, and that there is a chance of their being mercenary in the performance of what they consider to be their official duties. The question is, Would pastors perform the duties of the office more faith- fully ? The large and important parish of Kau was not represented in the Association either by pastor or delegate. The repairs on the meeting house of Puula, Puna, are finished and there is a deht of $200 to be cleared off. The people at Kalapana, Puna, some time since tore down their meeting house. They have collected about $ 1,-000 for a new one, and are minded to get about $ 1,200 more. The pastor asked the Association to giant him the privilege of going among the churches and raising that sum, but permission was not granted, and he was advised to content himself with a smaller structure, say one costing about $1,500. Friday noon Mr. and Mrs. Terry very kindly lunched the members of the Association in the dining-room of the Boarding School. About sixty were present, and the lumii was most creditably prepared by the boys. After the repast Mr. Terry conducted his guests over the grounds, showed them five acres of fine kalo under cultivation and a field of four hundred thrifty banana plants, and also a field of young coffee trees. Mr. Eugene Lyman is to assist Mr. Terry in the charge of the field work. The work of the past year shows a marked change for the better in this in- stitution, and the prospects for advance during the coming year are most favorable. The next meeting of the Association is tn be held at Puako, Kohala. The last Australian Mail brought us cheering letters from Butaritari, the northernmost of the Gilbert Islands. They were postmarked Sydney, August 12th, and were taken thither by Capt. C. B. Holland. The one translated below is almost gleeful over the good news it gives. Much of the wit and sparkle of Rev. Kanoa's style is lost in the translation. Butaritari, July 0, 1891. To the HawaiianBoard and its Members: I send my fresh-springing love to hearts that have warmed with affection for the Lord Je»us Christ, for us and for this poor pagan people. And you will not be unmindful of the appeal of this love that so touches the conscience. Let us greatly rejoice and be glad, for the Word of God shall not return unto him void until all that were blind shall know him. As for the past, you will bear in mind that while I was in Ualana (Kusaie) and saw the work of the Lord greatly prospering there I wrote, "the work moves on," and the good news was published widely among you. lam sure you have not forgotten those days. Again: When I was at Apaiang with brothers Bingham and Noa, and we were given to teaching and to preaching the Word and to the making of urgent appeals, again I wrote, "the work goes on." And how true the Bible saying is, that "One soweth and another reapeth." Once more I took up the work here at _Butaritari with my brother Moku, and together we toiled, teaching and preaching and urging the people to the truth. Theearly process ofincubation and of brooding is mostly passed and there remains only the time of broad flight. It may be said that in these two fields of the Lord (Butaritari and Makin) there has been a great revival. The coming of the people to the truth has been like the flow of a strong stream. Every book has been sold, and there is an urgdemand for more. Let the new invoice be hastened on. We are eagerly waiting for the coming of the Star with more books. Let the books but get here, and they shall fly broadcast (lele liilii). The king of these islands has been touring among the people with a purpose to turn them to the truth; and lo there has been a mighty awakening. All have ent turned. During the last five months the meeting houses have been packed, and not one left out. We are greatly rejoiced at the work God has wrought, and that he did so move the king of this people to seek their good. And I have a feel(Coitcluded on Cover.) �82 October, 1891. THE FRIEND. THE Y.

The Monthly Y. M. C. A. Business Meeting was held Sept. 17, with some 20 members present, including 6 officers of the Association, and 2 Committee Chairmen. Vice-President C. L. Carter presided. The Treasurer's report for the month showed Receipts $293.21, Disbursements $59.46; Balance on hand $224.05. The General Secretary, in his reports, tells us that several young men converted under Mr. Hogan's evangelistic sermons, have decided to btgin a new life; and some of them have become members of the Y. M. C. A. Many improvements are suggested for the Reading-room. Chairman W. C. W'eedon, of Committee on Devotional Work, report! Sunday evening meetings well attended. Chairman J. E. Bidwell, of Visitation Committee, reports some 12 visits to the Hospital, and 10 visits to ships in the harbor. Bro. Ripley, who has been con fined to his house for some time, is recovering from his illness. Mr. T. R. Walker, Chairman pro tern of Entertainment Committee, reports 3 Stereopticon entertainments at the Y. M. C. A. Hall by Mr. Hogan. Hon. J. B. Atherton, Chairman Finance Committee, reports pledges secur ed so far amounting to $2,665. Out of this are to be paid salaries amounting to $2,100. Efforts should be made to secure $1,000 more. There were no reports from Employment, Invitation or Reading-room Com mittee. A collection of $1.60 was taken up. Thirteen new members were added to the Associatiop: Messrs. A. Reynolds, R. Day, L. Osmer, A. C. C. Atkinson, as voting members; Messrs. H. P. Roth, H. A. Street, E. Brumaghim, O. Jansen, H. Lucas, J. Mitchell, E. T. Zunwaldt, T. R. Franguado, O. L. Soreneon, as associate members. At a special meeting called on Sept. 7, to consider in detail the proposed con stitution of "The Hawaiian 'I emperance League," a few necessary amendments to some of the articles were made, and the Constitution and By-Laws soamended, were adopted. The calling of public meetings was placed in the hands of a Committee of three, to consist of Pres. G. P. Castle, Chairman C. B. Ripley of the Temperance Committee, Gen. Sec. H. W. Peck. J. Barnet, Rec. Set'y. cises respectfully reports as follows, for the three weeks since the last report was submitted. The Sunday Evening Meetings have been well attended, notwithstanding it has been a vacation season. The at tendance was as follows: Aug. .'SO, 112; Sept. 6, 86; and Sept. 13, 96, Total 291, the average being 'J*. For the same period of last year, we have the last Sunday in Aug. 55, first Sunday in Sept. 15, and the second Sunday of Sept. 43, making a total of 143, or an average of a little over 47. Thus we have an attendance more than double over the same period of last year. This certainly is very encouraging, but we call alten tion to the fact that while the attendance has so largely increased yet there is not the general participation in llie exercises of the meetings which there should be, and it is earnestly desired that more will study the Topics of the Meetings and take a more active part in them. Since our last monthly meeting Mr, Ben Hogan has been among us and hat held in all 12 meetings in our Hall, be sides giving his Stereopticon Exhibitions which were instructive and interesting. The attendance at the 12 meetings ranged from 07 to 203 with a total of 1,363,and an average of a little over 113 for each meeting. Mr. Hogan impress es one as being deeply in earnest, and we trust his work among us will be abundantly blessed and helpful to many of our residents. The Sunday morning services at the of Jail have been continued, a numberMr. visitors assisting in the singing. Hogan and Dr. Hammond kindly conducted the exercises on separate OCCa sions. We are indebted to Miss Ren wick for her assistance with Portable Organ and in playing the same. Some Bibles distributed among the inmates at this time we think would do good, as we have been asked for one by one of the men. We purpose calling a meeting of your Committee in the near future and hope to devise some plans for additional aggressive work. Fraternally, W'ai TBI C. Wn.ims, Respectfully submitted, Thomas Rain Walker, For the Chairman. Mr. Hogan's Meetings. For 12 nights Mr. Hogan held meetings in the Y. M. C. A. These meetings were attended for the most part by men, and a great many of these were strangers not only to the V.M.C.A. meetings, but to any religious meetings, whatsoever. The story of Mr. Hogan's former life proved very attaactive to them, while his plain, unvanished common sense way of putting Gospel truths was listened to with respect. Many a man was awakened to a sense of the terrible life he was leading; quits a few publicly showing a desire to leave the old way, Mr. Hogan's meetings have done a great good in aiding to break down the hairier that has so long existed here between church-going and nonchurch-going people. Friday Night Prayer Meetings. The Friday night prayer meetings in the Y. M. C. A. have been resumed. These meetings were discontinued during Mr. Hogan's meetings in the Hall. These meetings are the best meetings of the Association. There is greater freedom and a nearer approach to spiritual brotherhood in them than in our more public meetings. All our members should try to be present, not only in order to receive but also to give aid in the work. The Y. M. C. A. had the pleasure of greeting Mr. A. P. Stockwell who is on his way to Melbourne, Australia, to take charge of the Physical Department of the V.M.C.A. of that city. He brought words of cheer and comfort from Mr. McCoy of San Francisco Y. M. C. A. Topics for October. Report of Entertainment Committee. The Chairman of this Committee, Mr. Lowrey, being absent from Honolulu, I respectfully report in his place. During the month, three entertain ments have been conducted by Mr. Hogan, at which his Stereopticon views have been exhibited, and these havebeen largely attended. A fourth similai entertainment is proposed for next Saturday evening, for the special enjoyment of the Kawaiaheo, Kamehameha and other schools. Report of Devotional Committee.

Ti-.e Sunday-school lesson for the first clay of November tells us that to be fruitful, the disciples must "abide in Christ." It was our Lord's dearest wish for His followers, that they should "bring forth much fruit." To be unfruitful, is to be unworthy, worthless. There must be fruit of good works; of holy, pure, self-denying lives; of the sick and the suffering relieved; of the sorrowing comforted; of the poor made rich; of clouded, discouraged souls cheered with hope; of dark hearts filled with Heaven's light; of straying steps turned towards the Father; of the ignorant taught, the vile cleansed, the leprous healed, the fallen lifted up; of children nurtured in piety, and youth trained to brave and skillful service; of Society reformed and built up into order, peace, well-being, liberty, justice, and wisdom; of suffering, demon-chained nations enfranchised "into the glorious liberty of the sons of God." If the Lord's people are thus fruitful, all men profit by it, and society grows better, happier, richer. Wherever Christ has such fruitful disciples, is a good place to live in, because their charactei and influence radiate purity, justice, and peace. In these islands, the number of active, intelligent Christians, both among natives and foreigners, has continually multiplied. Coincident with this fact, and as we think, most manifestly the effect of it, is the other fact that, on the whole, there are few places on the globe more desirable to live in than Hawaii nei—few with better social order, or more security, peace, and financial prosperity. Just now, we find ourselves very sensibly entered upon a series of public changes, the end of which it is not easy to foresee. There is very serious change in the condition of our leading industry. There is great change in prospect in ou. outside political relations, and, quite possibly, in our internal political order. The facts tabulated in the Census, indicate great changes growing in the elements composing our heterogeneous population, very hard to forecast, but of vital importance. A pessimist might easily prognosticate unhappy times before us. On the contrary, we anticipate still better things and times than we have yet enjoyed, because we have the strongest confidence in the living, healing, and vitalizing power of the Christianity which has been so efficient here in the lives of Christian disciples of many denominations. But this means that these Christians and their successors shall exercise that power still more efficiently than has yet been done. It means that they shall fruitful, more full of good grow yet works, and more radiant in the nobleness and holy charm of pure and loveable lives. That there will be such a growth here in Christian character and efficiency is to be expected. It is what our Lord expects of us; it is what He is prepared to help us to, day by day and year by year. It is what the exigencies of the many needy branches of His work in this land pressingly require of us. It is what the many and active elements opposed to truth and purity make necessary. It is not more work by Christians that is so much needed, as better, and Number 11. therefore, less wearing work. It is work proceeding from purer, brighter, more loving, more confidently believing hearts. It is the fruitful, powerful work inspired by hearts that abide in Christ, and in whom Christ abides. It is such fruitfulness in Christians that we believe is to make these Islands more and more a true "Paradise of the Pacific." The Hawaiian Census Report for 1890. The Full Report of the Census taken December 28th, 1890 has come to hand. It is a pamphlet of 71 pages, besides ten separate tables inserted, besides which, the pages bristle with long and short tables of figures, furnishing ample materials for study and thought, and data to guide in providing for our social future. Many most important deductions from the facts contained in these tables are supplied by the superintendent, Dr. C. T. Rodgers. Our own study of this valuable Report is too brief and imperfect to justifyany extended comment thereon. We are struck with what seems to us a quite serious omission, the absence of any classification by nationality of parentage, of "Hawaiian-born, both parents being foreigners". It is of very great importance to know how many of these are Chinese or Japanese, how many Portuguese, how many of Teutonic or Anglo-Saxon birth. Probably no point so nearly concerns our social future. We are glad to find on page 16, an effort to throw some light on the matter, from which it would appear that the Portuguese furnish the largest quota of the 7495 Hawaiian-born foreigners. A singular fact appears as to the relative proportion of males and females among native Hawaiians. The* females are only 86 per cent, as compared to the males, or 46 percent, of the whole number. And yet the number of young female native children is considerably in excess of the males of the same class. This proves a terrible mortality among the native females —a mortality easily accounted for by those who observe the conditions of social life existing in the presence of the enormous excess of male foreigners. The rapid increase of a mixed race, as compared with the continued diminution of pure Hawaiians, seems to point to an early day, when the pure Polynesian race will have given place to a mixed race compounded from several diverse stocks, but all speaking the English tongue. �[Novembr, 1891. THE FRIEND. 84 The Song of Kualii. It may be regarded as settled that after the ancestors of the Hawaiian people had lived secluded -from the rest of the world for many generations, intercourse between them and the islands of the South Pacific was reopened, and that many voyages were made which were celebrated in songs and legends. The native historian, S. M. Kamakau, published a series of these legends in the "Kuokoa" newspaper of 1869. Judge Fornander afterwards showed from the genealogies that this second period of migrations must be placed in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries of the Christian era. In the second volume of his work may be found a summary of the traditions relating to these voyages, and an able discussion of the whole subject. As he has stated, the name, date and other circumstances connected with Laa-mai-kahiki, the ancestor of the Oahu and Kauai chiefs, remarkably coincide with those of Raa, the founder of the line of chiefs reigning in Raiatea. Let me add that in Lawson's manuscript collection of Marquesan songs are two which evidently refer to these islands. For example, the song of Tupaa relates his return from "Hawaii", wherestood Mauna 'Oa(Loa), burning on top, which served him as a landmark to set his course by, when he sailed for Nukuhiva. After this intercourse with the Southern groups had continued for about 150 years, it seems to have entirely ceased, for there is no evidence of it in any of theancient legends, songs or genealogies for more than four hundred years. As communication ceased, the ideas of the ancient Hawaiians about foreign countries became vague and confused. The word "Kahiki" is identical with the New Zealand "Tawhiti", which means "far away", "distant". It was used in Hawaiian to designate any foreign country. As time went on, it became to their minds a land of mystery and magic, full of marvels, and inhabited by supernatural beings. Such are the ideas conveyed by a famous passage in the song of Kualii, quoted in Dibble's History, and by Judge Fornander, which has been wrongly interpreted as implying that Kualii himself had visited some foreign country. Kualii was a celebrated chief of Oahu, who reigned in comparatively recent times, viz., about 1700 A.D., fourteen generations later than Kahai, the last voyager to Kahiki. After his accession he had more than one war with the independent chiefs of Waialua, Ewa and Waianae. It was during one of these wars that this famous "mele" or chant was composed by the two brothers, Kapa-ahu-lani and Kama aulani, in glorification of Kualii, and for the express purpose of gaining his favor. It is said that the former served in Kualii's army, while the latter played the treacherous part of Hushai in the counsels of his enemy, the chief of Waialua. Acting in concert, they contrived to bring about an engagement at Keahutnoa in Honouliuli. Just before the battle, Kapaahulani obtained permission from Kualii to chant his "pule" between the two armies. After Kualii's victory, the bard was liberally rewarded with honors and lands, as he had expected. This long poem, containing about COO lines was handed down orally for more than 150 years, so faithfully that several independent versions of it, collected by Judge Fornander on Hawaii and Oahu, all substantially agree. It is so antique in language, construction and imagery, that very few of the natives at the present day can understand much of it. Polynesian scholars are under great obligations to Mr. C. J. Lyons for the translation of it. which he made with the assistance of the learned pundit, S. M. Kamakau. The poem recites Kualii's genealogy and his exploits in war; asserts that everything belongs to him, the land, the sea, and even the distant island of Kahiki; and after contrasting him with a variety of objects, finally declares him to be a god, the peer of Lono, Kane and Kanaloa. It is valuable for the light it throws on the conceptions of the outside world entertained by the Hawaiians before the arrivals of Capt. Cook. From the indistinct, fragmentary and mythical character of the passage about Kahiki, it is evident that it does not refer to an actual voyage performed by the author or any of his contemporaries, to that terra incognita. It is simply an echo, or perhaps a quotation from the ancient legends that had come down from the times of Moikeha and Laa-mai-Kahiki. Kahiki is described as a mysterious island, inhabited by supernatural beings, "haoles", speaking with unearthly voices, "leo pahaohao", who ascend up into the sky. The term, "haole", was afterwards applied to Capt. Cook's men, as they were supposed to be supernatural beings, who had come with Lono from "Kahiki". So in the leg.nd of Laieikawai, the heroine is borne by a gigantic Moo or to find the crocodile to Kahiki, means of ascending to the Moon. It is thererepresented as peopled by "kupuas", magicians; and monsters, such as the Moo, and the huge, man-eating dog, Kalahumoku. I regret that the historian, Fornander, should have seriously put forward the theory that the chief, Kualii, had actually made a voyage in a Spanish galleon to Acapulco and back. On the contrary, the poem speaks of Kahiki as "the land where Olopana once dwelt." Nordoes it assert that Kualii had been there, but that the bard himself had seen it, "ua ike hoi au ia Kahiki", which of course is not to be taken literally. Besides, the profound ignorance and astonishment shown by the people when Capt. Cook arrived, only two generations later, cannot be reconciled with any such Kualii's son, Peleioholani, died as late as 1770, according to Fornander. theory. Such an important event as the visit of a Spanish galleon would have left behind more traces of itself than a few obscure lines in a "mele".

VV!•: consider thflabove the most valuable contribution to Polynesian ethnology made since the publication of Fornander ■ "Polynesian Races" and of Codrington's "Melanesian Language". The title gives an inadequate idea of its scope, fur it is in fact not only a Comparative Dictionary, but also a Cyclopedia of Polynesian Mythology. We have here a whole library carefully sifted and condensed into one hook. So gigantic is the task, sn enormous the mass of material to he dealt with, that it is no wonder that former compiler! have shrunk hack appalled from the undertaking. The basil of the whole work is the "Mann" or New Zealand dialect and folk lore, which is on the whole the most primitive and complete, and the nearest to the original Polynesian type, as well as the one with which Mr. Trcgear is Ed with any of the other families of languages on the continent of Asia or elsewhere. In the introduction the various letter changes between the different dialect*, are treated of at length. The Dictionary is followed by a Key to the Maori words, of 3f> pages, which serves the purpose of an Anglo-Maori vocabulary. The appendix contains Genealogical tablesfiom eight groups of islands. The coincidences between the Maori and Hawaiian genealogies are remarkable. At one place in the scries we find five consecutive generations in the Hawaiian genealogy, which are identical with as man)' consecutive generations of Maori heroes, who are said to have lived in "llawaiki" before their emigration to New Zealand. Three other names art common to both genealogies, but occur in a different order. A table of the narnen of the days in the lunar month in six different groups, shows that most of the names are common to all, although there are some variations in the arrangement. To conclude, an examination of this work shows the remarkably closerelationship between the Hawaiian and New Zealand branches of the Polynesian race, while the Samoans seem to have been a later wave of migration from the west, more nearly related to the Malay, and the Tongans to have been deeply influenced by their Fijian neighbors.

Di.AK Mr. Bishop: For some weeks past the telegrams from China to foreign countries have teemed with accounts of riots, especially in the valley of the Yang tzu river. In these disturbances, missionary chapels mil even Consulates have been wrecked mil looted, attacks have been made upon protectant missionaries. Catholic priests, and native church-members, and in one instance, at the market town of Wu hsueh 'ti Hu-pei, a missionary and a Customs officer were brutually murdered by a wild mob which appears to have been collected upon the spur of the moment, with no previous airangtment or instigation. The exciting cause in this case .is at Wu-hu, was the carrying about of children alleged to have been kidnapped by the Roman Catholics. The case at VVu-hsuch has been investigated by the Governor General of the two Hu provinces (Hu-pei and Hu-nan), and the heads Of two men have been struck off, and sent around to different cities for the edification of those who may be ill disposed. The British Consul at Hankow, however, who is a man of much energy, pressed the case hard, and demanded the reopening of the trial, which was granted, but no intelligence of the result I has thus far reached us. To those living — distance and who may be interested in China, the occurence of such a number of evidently connected outbreaks at a dozen different points, must seem someat a Why should the people at Wu-hu, Nanking, Soochow, Nganking, Hangchow, Chinkiang, Kiu kiang, and ofmany other places, suddenly break out into such acts ofviolence, many of which appear to have been directed less against foreigners, than against the Chinese officials themselves? Since the riots, many letters from persons evidently well informed as to what is going on beneath the surface of Chinese society, hnve appeared in the Shanghai papers, and by combining the facts and surmises thus brought to light, it is possible to get a probably correct account of the general causes which have led to these various acts. One cause is the existance of a Society or League called the Ko-Lao Hui, which is a military organization, the object of which is toprotect its members against the oppression of those above them. The present emperor is hard pressed for money and has endeavored to economize by reducing the numbers of those pensioned since the T'ai Ping rebellion. Those thus deprived of their income, have originated these attacks upon foreigners with a view whst difficult of explanation. to embroiling the Chinese government with foreign powers, which would fall out to the advantage of the unemployed soldiers. Even if the matter is settled without a war, the cost to the government will be heavy, and it is hoped to show the emperor that the soldiers are a power not to be trifled with. Thus it appears that China too has its 'dynamiters', «and its Nihilists. Within the past thirty years the introduction of steam navigation and some foreign improvements, has thrown a multitude of persons out of employment. In the end these persons will perhaps find other work, but at present they are very 'bitter' (poor), and also bitter in spirit. Such persons fan every evil flame. The simultaneity of these disturbances is due to the fact that they have been organized by emissaries of the Ko-Lao Hui, deliberately. In other cases the excited state of the public mind has made it easy to start a row without special prevision. A bittei rivalry exists between the two provinces of Hunan and Anhui. The latter is the biith-place of Li Hung-chang, the former of the Marquis Tseng, and many other famous men, mainly military. The Hunan men have long made it their boast that no "foreign devils" are allowed within their territory, and the Catholici within that region are said to have lived for three hundred years at 'a poor dying rate. Protestant colporteurs venture in occasionally, and sell books till mobbed and told to "move on", but no place has been purchased anywhere in Hunan. Many of the officials of this province are actively engaged in the circulation of libellous pamphlets against Christianity, �86 THE FRIEND. and these are sent all over China. Their charges are like those ofthe "Death-blow to corrupt Doctrines" of twenty years ago, and are of the vilest descriptions. No wonder the people are excited by them. There is good reason to think that Christianity, both Roman Catholic and Protestant has made itself distinctly felt throughout a large part of China, and that the literary classes, always hostile, have begun to feel that it is necessary to take some more positive steps to save China. We can comprehend their feelings if we imagine an irruption of swarms of Buddhists into the U. S. within a few months, and "more and more to follow". Within 12 months ofthe close of the Conference last year which called for "One thousand Men in Five Years", one-fifthof that number had already reached China. Every province has felt this inrush, and every newly visited province is roused to hostility, and filled with secret terror. Meantime the foreign ministers at Peking, have not been idle, and they have secured the issue of an Imperial Proclamation to be posted all over the empire, and already published in the Peking Gazette, which denounces the men who attack the chapels, etc.,and expressly affirms that Christianity in both its forms is good, and its followers not to be molested. This seems likely to be the most important edict ever issued in regard to Christianity. Meantime it is well to remember, (1) That China is a vast empire, and is not to be converted in a year nor a generation, nor in a century, whatever enthusiastic millenarians may predict to the contrary. (2) That all attacks of the sort described only serve to make missionaries more careful and more earnest in their work. The attacks never permanently set the work back. (3) The attacks by Chinese (and in some cases by foreigners) upon missions and missionaries, with which the papers are filled, serve to bring the whole question of Christianity before the people, in a way which in times of tranquillity would be impossible. The result must be for good. (4) The missionaries of China were never so much a unit as now. There was never more practical harmony upon all important questions. (5) Christians in all parts of the world should constantly remember to pray for China, as the greatest and the most difficult mission field in the world, the "Ehrenbreitstein of heathenism". (6) The promises of the Lord are as sure as ever they were. Let us see to it that our faith fail not. Pray and work. The world will at last be won for Christ. Sincerely Yours, Arthur H. Smith.

Pride is a deceitful likeness of greatness. To live without working is to check in one's self the well spring of life. Blessed are they who see the day of glory, but more blessed are they who contribute to its approach. Those who do the will of God heartily will do it speedily; while we delay, time is lost, and the heart hardened. We honor God only by imitating. We imitate him only by living holily. He that dwells in the highest heavens dwells in the lowliest hearts; he inhabits sincerity as surely as he inhabits eternity.

To do so no more is the truest repent- ance.—Luther. Sin bargains with the sinner to pay him life, pleasure, and profit. But it actually pays in death, torment, and destruction. Be not deceived. The poet's verse slides into the current of our blood. We read them when young, we remember them when old.

The Morning Star may be expected by the middle of the month or thereabouts. The Festival organized in Hilo in interest of the Portuguese Church realized the handsome sum of $ 200. clear of-expenses. The Hilo Boys Boarding School has just put in another acre of leak), making the sixth now under cultivation by the boys. A ton of kalo from the first planting has been put into the market and sold, as there is on hand more than enough for the needs of the school. The poi on the premises is now made in a machine invented by Mr. Terry, and it is said by the boys to be very good. By this means much time and strength are saved for other and finer achievements. Along with the last invoice of Chinese came more than a hundred childrenTheir presence has tried our school accommodations. Over a hundred and thirty names are on the roll, and doubtless the newly appointed Chinese school constable will in due time bring in more. Messrs. Ha Pui and Kong Syuk Syong, teachers of the Chinese department, have their hands full. Miss Green, who is in charge of the English department, has three assistants and may in time need a fourth. Miss Ostrom of Kohala has forty-five children in her school. She reports the formation of a very interesting Sabbath School at Kaiopihi, Kohala. because of failure either on the part of the pastor or of the people, or both, to meet engagements, and sometimes the pastor's wife comes in for her share of fault. There have been of late among our native churches two such glaring instances—two ruined homes—two wrecked pastorates--two disqualified ministers, because of unfaithful wives. While Koloa and Hanapepe have gained pastors, the Lihue people have lost theirs. It is pleasant to know that, after three years of faithful service and patient waiting pastor Kopa of Waimea has so won the respect and confidence of his people, that they have been willing to follow him in the reorganization of the old church of that district. It is thought by some that there are very few saints among the natives of Waimea, and some say among the whites too. Yet we are glad to bear witness that we know of a few whose lives shine all the brighter for the surrounding darkness. It is to be hoped that this new organization is not entirely without ground for being. One of the papers read by a pastor was on the question of a pre-Adamite race. He negatived it by the bible. A lay brother persumed to give a scientific reason for a different view. It was the fact that he had heard of a race of men being discovered in Central Africa with tails, "and they", said he, "surely are not sons of Eve". well in meeting their responsibility in this case. It has been said that in trials of this kind the native ministry can not be depended on. But here is an instance in which they have shown themselves worthy offull confidence. The following is the report of the Pastor's Aid Society on eastern Hawaii. It makes a most creditable showing and is a source of strength to the much tried native pastor, who but for it would in many instances be an underfed man. Besides this account of the work in Hilo district $100 should be put to the account ofPaauhau Plantation, Mr. Andrew Moore, Superintendent, which was received by R. A. Lyman, late of Hamakua, and by him handed to the Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, and by the Secretary handed to Mr. J. D. Paris, Jr. for the needy Kona pastors. Also some $M) are now in the hands of Dr. B. D. Bond, $20 contributed by Dr. Wight and $30 by Mr. Renton. There is a sore need of yet more funds and it is hoped that they may be forth coming. Hon. P.

The Treasurer's report was read, showing receipts for the month $398.15: Disbursements $227.74: leaving a balance on hand of $170.41. The General Secretary reports the Y. M. C. A. work progressing favorably. A number of the Y. M. C. A. Boys are admitted to full membership, this month. A large number of Magazines, Newspapers, Tracts, and New Testaments, nearly a thousand in all have been put aboard deep-sea vessels. Bro. Bidwell for the visitation Committee reports eighteen calls on the sick. Our late Bro. A. L. Smith was, during his fatal illness, an object of our tenderest solicitude. A certain poor family mentioned in last month's report, is still beingr ministered to by a member of this committee. Mr. T. R. Walker reports for the Entertainment Committee on Mr. Hogan's successful exhibitions in the Hall, and on the inauguration ofthe "Practical Talks" looked forward to with so much interest. The committee has under consideration a public entertainment to be held early in December, in aid of the finances of the Y. M. C. A. The Collection amounted to $7.70. On motion of Dr. Hyde, seconded by H. Waterhouse, it was unanimously voted that the congratulations of this Association be tendered to our General Secretary, Mr. Peck, on the occasion of his marriage. On motion of Mr. T. R. Walker, it was decided to draw up a testimonial of the high regard and affectionate remembrance in which the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. held our late brother Mr. A. L. Smith, and of our loving sympathy for his bereaved wife. There were twenty new members added to the association; as Voting Mem- bers, Messrs. F. A. Hosmer, P. H. Dodge, C. H. Fairer, A. R. Hatfield, C. W. Rose, W. W. Harris, C. H. Cooke, Harry Waterhouse, W. L. Whitney, A. F. Judd Jr., H. Bingham Jr., A. M. Atherton, C. K. Hyde, C. M. Cooke Jr.; as associate members, Messrs. Geo.

The Sunday evening meetings do not show quite as large an attendance as for the preceding month, although there is quite an increase over the same period of last year. The attendance has been as follows: September 20th, 87; 27th, 98; October 4th, 77; 11th, 91. An average attendance of 88. The meetings are not without considerable interest, yet the number who take part compared with the actual attendance is small. To obtain a larger number ofparticipants, we suggest that those who do take the active part endeavor to be as brief as possible in their addresses and talks that the larger number may have an opportunity. The number attending the Friday evening meetings have been as follows: September 18th, 22; 25th, 22; October 2nd, 22; 9th, 24. The general average being 22. Emma Hall meetings, for the three weeks of which we have record, show attendance as follows: September 26th, 25; October 3rd, 35; 10th, 33; the average being 31. The Sunday morning work at the Jail has been carried on very successfully, our worthy President lending valuable aid to the work. We always have an attentive audience. Our services are conducted in the English, Hawaiian, and Chinese languages, and we hope soon to add Japanese and Portuguese to our helpers and thus reach the larger number of the unfortunate occupants of that corrective institution. Your Chairman called a meeting of the Committee for the evening of the 13th, at which meeting we had an attendance of eight, including our President and Secretary. After due consideration our Committee was sub-divided for the work as follows: Oahu Jail, Sunday morning, Messrs. Castle, Waterhouse and Weedon; Sunday evening prayer meeting, Messrs. Barnet, Bowen a-nd Dr. J. M. Whitney; Friday evening prayer meeting, Messrs. Robinson, Ellis and Ferguson; and for the Emma Hall Meetings, Messrs. Peck, Richards and Ripley. These to be responsible fer the separate work as assigned but to report to the chairman of the whole committee. A communication received from the Central International Committee, from Geneva, N.Y., calls for a special week of prayer beginning Nov. 8, 1891, and requests us as a member of the Alliance to observe the same at that date here in Honolulu.

The V.M.C.A. in Honolulu has often been called "an old Young Men's Christian Association," because that most of our workers and staunch supporters were men in the prime of life. This fact really accounts for the firm foundation upon which the V.M.C.A. stands to-day. These men, over twenty years ago, were charter members, and take as much pride in its success now as then. At our last monthly meeting (October), nine or ten young men, sons of the founders of the Association, joined us. Trained up in V.M.C.A. work in the Boys' V.M.C.A., they at length have reached the age when they can become members of the larger association. We welcome them, and shall expect that they will prove themselves, by their life and work, to be loyal sons of worthy sires. There is still quite a number who have not as yet joined. We hope they will decide t» do so. The Y. M. C. A. hopes that the Christian fathers and mothers of Honolulu will aid us in forming a strong band of earnest, Christian young men. Your advice is more powerful than that of a stranger. Don't fail to use your influence. While we welcome the young men of Honolulu homes, the V.M.C.A. has an equally hearty greeting for young men from over the seas. Lately we have had many additions from that source. There is room for hundreds more. Young men, members, get to work and let no young man in Honolulu be able to say that no earnest, kindly effort was made to help him to be a man in the best sense of the word. �91 THE FRIEND. contradiction to the requirements of the agreeable.

Then, according to the church tradition, Mary Magdalen is identified with the woman who was a sinner, in complete Christianity and alien to Buddhism, so they seem to be, by plain implication, denied in this poem.

There is certainly no cause for greater thankfulness to be found by any enlightened Christian soul, than to have been enabled to be of important service to the kingdom of his Lord. No outward enrichment, no social or domestic joy, no inward gifts and spiritual graces even, are so great a prize as it is to have efficiently advanced the work of bringing human souls to Christ, to be made sons of God in Him. Somewhat of such ground for gratulation belongs this year to our churches in these Islands. It may be said that there has never been a year where there was so much ofpres-j ent s iccess, and of future promise in our \ uious Home Missions among the Chinese, the Japanese, and the especially important Portuguese people, as there has never before been so varied an organization, and so heavy a burden of work laid upon our shoulders. Five years ago, it would have been a most sanguine hope to have expected that 1891 would have witnessed the erection of two fine church edifices for our Portuguese citizens, both with capable pastors, and large audiences and Sabbath schools. Or that our Hawaiian Board would be conducting active mission work on all the Islands among nearly 20,000 Japanese. Nor have we to mourn any retrogression in our well-organized Chinese work, notwithstanding the temporary disability of its able and honored superintendent, Mr. Damon, whom we hope soon to see again at his post. Our churches and their Board have a very great work thus laid upon them. It is a work to rejoice in. It is indeed a great and open door, or rather several open doors to great and fruitful service. If we at all understand the spirit of our Christians in Hawaii nei, it is a state of affairs that they will heartily rejoice in, and gladly thank and praise God for. They will not regret the great pecuniary tax it lays upon them, nor shrink from the labor and sacrifice it entails. VVe shall see how gloriously we are summoned to a noble work. It is given to us to make effective and penetrating upon the souls of these new come immigrants that radiant light of Christ which has so uplifted and strengthened our own souls, and to whose power we attribute all the peace, order, liberty and prosperity of our happy Island kingdom. So now with all this work laid upon us, we have to summon our energies and gird up our loins, and open our pockets for the campaigns of the coming year. If financial prospects are somewhat dark, yet we may not doubt the Lord, nor withold our gifts from the work so clearly laid upon us. Give in faith, and He will not let us lack any good thing. 91 Number 12. HON. HENRY A. P. CARTER. The death of this eminent citizen of Hawaii took place November ist, at 1:30 a.m., at the Everett House in New York, where he had been since his arrival from Europe, Sept. 24th. He wjs attended by his 'wife, three daughters, and one son, Geo. B. Carter, of Seattle. He had been for some months suffering from serious heart trouble which developed into dropsy. For some ten years Mr. Carter had occupied the position of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United Slates from Hawaii. At the time of the negotiation of the Treaty of Reciprocity in 1875-6, he spent much time in Washington, rendering indispensable service in that negotiation. Mr. Carter had before this been prominent in public affairs, having served for several years in the King's Cabinit, as Minister of Interior and as Minister of Finance. Mr. Carter was also prominent in the Fart St. Church, of which he was an active member, whose counsel in both temporal and spiritual things carried the greatest weight. Not only to Honolulu Society, but especially to the Church, does his death bring the sense of grievous personal loss. Mr. Carter was born in Honolulu about fifty-six years ago, son of the late Captain Carter, one of the leading Pacific traders of fifty years ago.

Such filial loyalty as theirs, save in , [December, 1891. exceptional cases, I have never seen among children of rosy cheeks and fair complexion. Accidentally I found one day that this trait could be utilized in school discipline. I had one class of particularly troublesome little girls. They were bright, but brim full of mischief, disobedient and naughty in all those little ways which it is easy for children to think of. Could I have punished them soundly once or twice the trouble would have ended, but as the authorities of the school would not sustain me in that, I was at my wit's end to know what to do with them. I intimated one day that I did not think their mothers had brought them up very well, if they had not yet learned not to sit on their desks in school time, hang out of the windows, stand on chairs, talk aloud, change their seats whenever they felt like it, peep into my note-books and appropriate my knife or pencils whenever I chanced to lay one down for a moment. Instantly every little form stiffened. I felt I had made a mistake and said to myself, "Now see what you have done I Look out for your class tomorrow !" But I could not take back the words and so added with all the indignation I could assume "I should think that children who had any respect for their parents would try to honor them enough, not to make people think they had bad fathers and mothers." I entered the room very nervously next day, feeling that probably I should have the pleasure suggested by my co-workers of teaching empty seats. But to my great relief the children appeared, and such admirable deportment as we bad that day, I had never expected to secure from that little group of mischiefs. On the Fourth of July we went about thirty miles across the prairies to visit the Yankton Agency, for we had heard that the neighboring tribes were coming thither to celebrate the "Glorious Fourth" with a dance. The journey took us through the settlements of the civilized Indians thus giving us a chance to see their work at its best. Apparently their best was very good. There were acres upon acres of corn which they had planted and cultivated, and which although not quite as free from weeds as we would have expected a white man's corn to be, yet looked very well. Here and there were little Indian houses, the lumber for which had been furnished by the government, many of which appeared neat and comfortable. They were all deserted now, however, for every man, woman and child had gone to the Agency to celebrate, with a patriotism, worthy of the small boys in "The States." I think we met not more than two or three persons in all the thirty miles. Unfortunately none of us knew the way to Yankton Agency, but knowing the general direction depended upon the sun to guide us. We rode on until too dark to follow the grassy road, brought up against a barbed wire fence and decided that we must stop for the night. Had the prairie furnished a tree or stick or even a twig to which we �THE FRIEND. 93 Volume 49, No. 12.] could have picketed our horses instead of tying them to the wagon, we might have slept comfortably inand under our twoseated wagon. As it was we were quite ready for an early start in the morning, and a very short dstance farther on' the agency ap peared in full view. Here most of the houses were built of I gs, both houses and grounds having a much less civilized and comfortable aspect than those which we had pissed. We found to our disappointment that the dance had taken place while we were reposing on the prairie, but the unique gathering which we did see was enough to repay us for our journey. A little out of the settlement the Indians had gathered fifteen hundred in number. On the highest hills they could find, which were not very high by the way, they had pitched their wigwams or tepes in an immense circle. How they ever constructed the circle I do not know, but as far as the line of tents was un broken it seemed to the eye to be mathe- matically perfect. O, the strange people who were gathered within that circle! Perhaps I should say people and animals for the horses were coralled within the circle, and many of the Indians had brought along a family of puppies which were destined to furnish a dainty repast for them and their friends before the celebration should be ended. Every member of the different families, however old or sick or feeble had been brought along. One poor girl who seemed hardly able to lift her head from her pillow, held up a withered hand to us as if asking for our pity. The tepes (tee-pees) owing to the fact that they had just been pitched were tolerably clean and within them the women generally sat, when not engaged in preparing meals for their liege lords. Most of them seemed modest, and many were working their pretty moccasins or making their dainty patchwork. Very few of the women had painted faces. Not so with the men! Every brave warrior was bedecked in the mast astonishing manner. I had thought that the railroad advertisements with flaming pictures of Indians adorned with eagles' feathers, and carrying bows and arrows, were simply advertisements —that civilized robes, or at least a compromise between a civilized dress and the heathen blanket had superseded the old barbaric costume, but here were the very Indians in the advertisements standing before me. And such a display ! No effort was spared to make this indeed a "Glorious Fourth." Limbs, bodies and faces were painted in the most gorgeous colors they could command. Frequently their bodies were nearly nude in order that their artistic glories might be the better displayed. Some had trousers made of dressed sheepskin trimmed with a fringe made of strings of the same. A few were the envied owners of the famous war cloaks now becoming scarce, which are made of scarlet flannel reaching to the ground behind, and trimmed with eagle's tail feathers from top to bottom, the feathers being arranged in such a way as them speak in public. With one exception, however, I was always disappointthe back. Feathers, strips of fur, beads, ed in so doing.

It perpetuates the old nomadic life, especially among those who live long distances from the Agency, as they are thus compelled to spend the greater part of their time in traveling back and forth for supplies. They do, occasionally, get a little fun out of it however, as I chanced to see one day at an "issue of cattle." It seemed that some oxen which the government had agreed to furnish had arrived, and with them the stock inspector. The contract specified that they should weigh not less than 2,260 lbs. per yoke—should be gentle and well broken. When we arrived the contractors were weighing them, driving a large and small ox on to the scales together in order to make them weigh the required amount. Occasionally, they would add their own weight to the scales if they thought the inspector was off his guard. If the pair proved under weight the smaller ox was driven out and one a size larger substituted. When the required weight was reached the oxen, already yoked, were tied together by the tails lest they should break their necks when let loose and driven out with ropes around their noses. Invariably the "gentle and well broken" oxen, which evidently had never seen a yoke before, started on a dead run dragging after them the man who was vainly holding on to therope. In a few seconds they would break away leaving their driver sprawling on the ground, after which exploit a shout of laughter invariably went up from the Indians who were waiting their turn to receive their "gentle and well broken" oxen. In this particular instance, out of about one hundred oxen two yoke were accepted by the inspector. The Morning Star. It is with peculiar gratitude that our Christian people have seen the missionary ship again speed westward on hir Gospel errands. An interval of seventeen months has elapsed since her last departure on her work. Meantime she has been thoroughly repaired and refitted at San Francisco under the able supervision of Captain Bray. New and more powerful bi ilers have been supplied. The crippled mainmast has been restored to symmetrical length. A serious fault in the structure of the cabin has been corrected, and more space given to the state-rooms. A discreditable defect in the ship's equipment has been made good by the addition of a steam capstan for hoisting in boats and anchors. It is confidently believed that the Star will now be able to do better work than formerly in stemming adverse winds and currents among the Islands. The American Board are showing an earnest purpose to carry on the Micronesia Missions with efficiency. Though so deplorably short-handed, the Gospel work in the various groups was never so full of promise. Ponape, it is true, still lies dark and storm-beaten under the stress ( f the Spanish aggression. The American Board are vigorously pushing their demands for redrtss for the wanton destruction of their very prosperous Mission in that island.

Most earnest prayers will follow the ship and her missionaries, and her return early in April, will be awaited with anxious expectation. At the same time, the affectionate supplications of our Churches should be constantly made in behalf of our suffering native brethren in Ponape whose faith and steadfastness are being so severely tried. Rev. F. D. Greely, wife and son arrived, November 16th, by American bark H. G. Johnson, 144 days from Boston, via Cape Horn, having taken this tedious voyage, to recruit from neivous prostration. Mr. Greely is a Congregational pastor of experience, settled for some years past in Oswego Co., N.Y. His father was formerly pastor of a Congregational church in Oswego City. Mr. Greely preached in Central Union Church last Sabbath morning with great acceptance. Death of — an Honored Hawaiian. Hon. John P. Parker died on the 22nd ult. at the house of his nephew, Hon. Samuel Parker, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He was a son of John ParkftT, one of Kamehameha's most trusted lieutenants, and a man of noble character. Mr. Parker was possessed of large estates on Hawaii. He was for a long period a member of the old House of Nobles, and of the Privy Council. He was a man of great integrity, honor and patriotism. John Wise, a pure Hawaiian, from Kamehameha School, who was sent byMr. P. C. Jones, under the care of the Hawaiian Board, to study for the ministry at Oberlin College, appears to be making a good record not only in character and scholarship, but particularly in athletics. May he grow to be a strong soldier of the Cross. Such are greatly needed among his people. Mr. L. A.

Waterhouse has fairly boomed the new Pearl City, by purchasing some eighty lots on the Peninsula, and proceeding to erect cottages thereon, three of which are already under way. This venerable but indefatigable gentleman, has of late, breakfasting at five, gone down on the 6:15 train, and spent the day superintending his workmen. This is nearly as remarkable as the vigor with which he lately overcame and arrested the two thieves who seized his watch in London streets.

HAWAIIAN BOAKB. HONOLULU H. I. This page is devoted to theinterests of the Hawaiian Board of Missions, and the Editor, appointed by the Board is responsible for its contents. Rev. O. P. Emerson, - Editor. On the morning of the Lord's Day, the 22nd of November, the Morning Star arrived at this port, twenty days from San Francisco with two'passengers and three stowaways. The stowaways appeared on board the second day out and were put to work, and the Captain said that tbey fairly paid for their passage. One of the passengers, Mr. Arthur Alexander, continues on the Star throughout her entire voyage. The other, Prince Henry Nanpei, goes as far as Ponape, back to his people of the Kiti tribe. On the afternoon of Friday the 27th, after a short stay of six days in port spent in refitting and in taking aboard mission supplies, the Star proceeded onward on the voyage to Micronesia. Rev. and Mrs. F. E. Rand and Rev. and Mrs. Paaluhi were added to the number of passengers. Mr. and Mrs. Paaluhi return to their former field on Tapiteuea of the Gilbert Islands, where they have already labored several years. It is not yet plain just what Mr. and Mrs Rand are to do. Mr. Rand goes as a Delegate of the Hawaiian Board. He also goes as the missionary of the A. B. C. F. M. Not able to get back to his former station in Ponape, he hopes to have the opportunity of visiting certain outlying islands belonging to his field, and it is very possible that he may join the workers at Kusaie where he hopes for the present to locate his training school. A large company of friends were present at the farewell meeting, and the brethren were sent on their voyage and followed with the warm sympathy of all who look for the evangelization of Micronesia. The Star may be expected back between the first and the tenth of April. News has been received from Rev. Maka, missionary at Butaritari, of the continued progress of the good work there. The king of the Islands (Butaritari and Makin) has been with the missionary on a tour through his dominions holding religious meetings. Four new chapels have been built. Two Romish priests joined the company, and although they have had no mission on the islands and have secured no following, they took occasion to speak in the meetings and to try to draw the people away from the lead of the resident missionary. Rev. Maka reports that all the books sent him were immediately sold as fast as they were opened. The Hawaiian Board has been prepar- ing a new supply for the phenomenal demand for books. The following books have gone on the Star to the Gilbert Isl ands, 750 Arithmetics, 250 Geographies, takes this step, as one to which they are 750 Readers, 750 Hymn Books, 465 New unmistakably called in the providence of Testaments and 205 Bible Stories. Gad; and in doing this, we rely humbly The following was taken from a communication published in the Advertiser and is here reprinted for the sake of friends abroad: At its last annual meeting the California M. E. Confertnce came to the conclusion that they had better withdraw from the islands, leaving the work as at first begun, entirely in the charge of the Hawaiian Board and proposals to that effect were laid before the Board two months ag'. Negotiations were at once begun with the various Japanese M. E. preachers. The Kauai preacher had decided previously on account of his health to return to Japan, the young men at Spreckelsville and Ewa wish to teturn to S.»n Francisco to continue the theological studies. The preacher at Paia, will continue on, receiving his support, as heretofore, from friends con nected with the Hawaiian Bonrd on Maui. The preacher in charge in Honolulu will continue on till other arrangement can be perfected. At the meeting of the Hawaiian Board, Tuesday evening, the Home Committee, to whom the matter had been referred, advised the Board to accept the proposed transfer of the Japanese M. E. Mission, and reassume the sole charge of the work among the Japanese. This was voted, and the following statement adopted, now made public through the daily press by the courtesy of the editor of the P. C. Advertiser. The additional annual expenditure involved is at least one thousand dollars, and the Board appeals to its constituency for their approval of its action, and a generous increase of their contribu tions, that this work of Japanese evangelization may not suffer from the withdrawal of the M. E. Mission. "Resolved., In view of the facts brought before us by the Home Committee, this Board desires to put on record its grateful acknowledgment of the valuable services rendered by the Japanese Mission during the last four years in assisting this Board in carrying the Gospel and its institutions to the Japanese at the various stations occupied by the M. E. Mission. Now that through Providential necessities that mission feels constrained to withdraw from this field, leaving this Board to carry on this department of its work without their personal aid and fraternal union, we wish to assure them of our regret at the necessity which thus brings to an end the close relations of friendly co-operation under which their work has been carried on in these Islands. "We rejoice that the preachers lately connected with the M. E. Mission are so ready and willing to continue in the work under the supervision of this Board, and we assure them of our hearty sympathy and support. "In now resuming full charge of this work of Japanese evangelization, the Board on God's continued presence and blessing, in hope that the Christian community at the islands will sustain the Board in assuming this increased burden of responsibility, by increased contributions and growing personal interest in the christianization of the various nationalities now resident at the Islands." The Maui Trip. A succession of surprises awaited us at Vfaui during our last visit in attendance at the Association of Nov. 4-7, held at Wailuku. The day sessions of the Association were marked by nothing unusual. The new feature was the evening meeting. For the first time since commencing our work we found it possible to hold a successful evening meeting at Wailuku. The meeting house had been prepared for this by the introduction of chandeliers. As we looked up and saw the pleasant lights we thought of the tallww candles I.f last year stuck around the wall to their hurt. And there too was a very sizeable audience. Always we had been able to get an audience of an evening at Waihee, but not before at Wailuku. We had stigmatized it in our thoughts as a hard place where a hearing could not be secured. But at last we had a very respectable audience before us. And then we had supposed that nothing was being done by our people toward Sunday services for the English speaking portion of the inhabitants, but we found ourselves happily mistaken. We found that a Sabbath School had been formed and maintained for some little time. The credit of this work is due to two lady teachers resident at Wailuku who are assisted by the principal of the public school there. It is hoped that before long the English and the native Sabbath Schools may be merged into one. Indeed, steps toward this result have already been taken. If all people would be as interested in Christian work as are these Wailuku teachers, we might expect to see a different state of things in many parts of these islands. Our surprises were not ended when we left Wailuku. For at Paia we found that some good ladies had started a Chinese Sabbath School, and also a week-day class for the teaching of sewing to Japanese women. It is by the help of such as these that the good work must be kept up, and we fain would believe that there are many on the islands to whom the energy and devotion of these Wailuku and Paia ladies, who, though hard pressed with their work all the week are willing to add the Lord's day as one of labor in teaching, in attendance on meetings and in visitation of families, that the gospel may be brought yet more closely to the heart* of the people. �THE FRIEND. 98 THE T.

General Secretary's Report. Three newspapers (two Canadian and one English) were added to our list during the month. The attendance at the leading room is increasing, averaging about 70. During the month-all our exchanges have been communicated with, and upon receipt of replies our list will be revised. Judge A. S. Hart well gave us an able and much appreciated talk on "Constitutional Government in Hawaii." Elder Starr has occupied the hall for several nights during the past three weeks. He gave an earnest, able talk on Bible Topics. A loving, Christian spirit was visible in all Elder Stan's words and ways. Our list of new members still continues to grow. It brings with it additional responsibility. Mere additions to our ranks is not what we want. We are glad to have young men join us, but must not forget that that is but the start. Much remains to be done before, as a united band of consecrated workers, we can accomplish the duties of the hour. When we can meet soul to soul, and stand shoulder to shoulder, then, with God's blessing, we will be Decmbr, 1891. Y. M. C. A.

We have nearly reached the limit of our supply. The demand is as great as ever. We have a few friends who regularly contribute magazines, papers, &c, which greatly help. It is with the object of increasing the number of these that we state the need of assistance. Men on long voyages eagerly read almost anything. The Y. M. C.

A thorough and careful article on this subject was read at the monthly concert in Central Union Church November 4th, and subsequently printed in the Advertiser. From this article we make the following notes: Most of the 13,000 Portuguese in Hawaii nei and not born here, are from the Azores. That group lies about 700 miles west of Portugal, to whose crown it is subject. They are eight in number, lying in an irregular line about 400 miles long. Their total area is only about 700 square miles, or about that of Oahu, but have a population of 260,000. There was a large influx of Flemish blood added to the Portuguese at the time of their colonization in the fifteenth century. The traces of this element are very conspicuous among the Portuguese here. Most of the soil is owned by a comparatively few families. Large quantities of superior oranges and pine-apples are exported. The climate is usually humid. Mean temperature of the winter months is 61 degrees, and of the summer months is li'J.s degrees. Average rainfall on the lowlands is 40 inches. Frosts are unknown except upon the mountain-tops. The judicial}' of the Azores are said to be singularly able and upright, and are greatly esteemed by the people. The higher classes are very refined, and treat the lower classes with habitual kindness and courtesy. The people are lawabiding and submissive to authority. There are no monastical orders in the Azores. The priests there come mostly from among the common people, and occupy the positions of friends and advisers. The women are very religious. Hospital provisions are ample and excellent, and every person of whatever nationality, who needs treatment, is admitted without charge. The Portuguese born here are rapidly acquiring an excellent use of Flnglish, and speaking their mother tongue imperfectly. These people are the best class ever brought here for laborers. They are rapidly improving their homes. It is said that in the services of the English Church the Prince of Wales has. been prayed for 80,000,000 times. The this special prayer suggests to the r York "Observer" a story about a girl who asked why the Prince was icularly excluded in it. Her mistake was due to the clergyman's pronunciation of "Awlbert Edward," which she took to mean "all but Edward, Prince of Wales." Kof : Dr. Briggs Acquitted of Heresy. As we had been led to expect, Dr. Briggs has been able to satisfy the Presbytery of New York, that his famous inaugural address does not contain the heresies which its language seemed to most Presbyterians to express. The in. dictment against him had already been presented. At an early day in November, Dr. Briggs read his reply. It was a very able paper, and produced an immense effect upon the members of the Presbytery, He declared with strong emphasis his belief in the Scripture of the Old and New Testaments as the only infallible rule of fiith and practice. He denied that he intended, as charged, to ascribe to the Church and to the Reason, an equal and co-ordinate authority with that of the Bible. His Presbytery were well satisfied with these declarations, and with his explanations of his former language as consistent with them. Strong gratification was expressed by some who "ad been the most displeased with his former language. After some discussion, Presbytery resolved by a two-thirds majority to proceed no farther with the prosecution of the case, which was dismissed. The supreme authority of the Bible in matters of religious faith and practice is a very sacred tenet with the leading bodies of Evangelical Christians, nor are they willing to permit any of their ministers to dtny this tenet, and continue to teach with the authority of their churches. Dr. Briggs in his defense explicitly stated that he did not believe that Moses was the writer of the Pentateuch, or that the latter half of Isaiah was written by that prophet. Presbytery regarded these as merely critical questions of human authorship, and were satisfied with the positive declaration of Dr. Briggs, that he regarded the books of the 0:d Testament whatever their human authorship, as partaking a divine inspiration, and possessing divine authority. An appeal to Synod was noted by the prosecution, but it is not probable that any change will be made in the result. It is matter of great joy and thankfu'ness among the Presbyterians of New York, and among all who esteem them, that a result has thus been attained so favorable to the peace and prosperity of those churches. 9 THE FRIEND. That Ohia Forest.—A Honolulu correspondent of the Chicago Tribune tells of a forest of fruiting ohias, twenty miles long and eight or ten wide, in the "Wilderness of Koolau." We used to be very familiar with that section. As with many correspondents' yarns, a large discount is due. For some ten miles along that coast, and for one mile in breadth, groves of these fruit trees are of frequent occurrence; and in one locality in Hana, there is something like a considerable forest of ohia and lauhala intermingled. This delicious fruit is too watery for preserves. We have often thought that the gardener's skill might evolve from it a more fleshy and even richer fruit. Many others of the Eugenia family, like the Rose-apple, have a very firm-fleshed fruit. Since weekly steamers touched along that coast, few white men ever traverse those lovely but rugged paths.

Little minds are hurt by little things: great minds see them all, and are not hurt. The pain of living without pleasure is well worth the pleasure of dying without pain. We are exact in counting the tribulations that afflict us; are we equally so in counting the sins which drew them upon us ?— Chrysostom. Dark seasons are never pleasant, but they are often good for us. A cloudless sky can never produce a good harvest. Truth is most potent and most precious when we draw it for ourselves out of the Bible. The harp of the human spirit never yields such sweet music as when its frame work is most shattered and its strings most torn. If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon our hearts. Living is death; dying is life. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that side citizens. On this side orphans, on that children. On this side disguised, unknown; on that side disclosed and, proclaimed as the sons of God.—Beecher. Oceanic j:in£7yr PACIFIC HARDWARE CO., L'u.

Willi the must heart)- good will we wish to all our nailers and patrons a Happ>' New Year! May this year ol 1892 be filled with blessings and mercies to each one, and maj we all have cheerful and contented hearts, to rejoice in all that is bright in our lot. and not to repine at what may be otherwise. One of those things which ma)- be taken cheerfully or otherwise, is a diminished pecuniary ability to meet the claims upon is of God's work in these Islands, wl.;!. those claims are increasing rather than diminishing, The regular work of our Hawaiian Hoard now calls for an outla) of nearly two thousand dollars a month. To meet these and other needs will require on the part of our Christian people somewhat heroic efforts, and perhaps serious self denial and sacrifi c. We feel confident that they will n j tice to make such sacrifices. They will gladly embrace the opportu- JANUARY, nity for participating in the Christian heroism that has adorned the lives of Christ's saints through the ages, and has heen not least resplendent in these days of glorious growth of the Kingdom. The circular issued by the Treasurer and Secretary of the Board, reprinted in this issue, tells the story of their needs. We are confident that the many and earnest prayers of our Christian people will he answered by adequate succor to this great work in its many branches Our political affairs while free from serious turbulence, or sense of insecurity, are in a somewhat undefined condition, without definite issues clearly made by responsible parties. This state of things is doubtless one of the conditions incident to a period which has begun, somewhat transitional in our national life. Christian people, who believe that political order and security must depend upon a general love by the people of righteousness and honesty, will the more earnestly address themselves to make the power of their Lord's holy life and teaching felt by the whole community, so that our government may be administered in the fear of God. Meantime all will earnestly pray that our good Queen may be abundantly endowed with wisdom and grace for the difficult duties of her responsible position. Illness of Gen. S. C. Armstrong. NUMHF.K 1. 1892. 1 Volume His case seemed likely at first to be speedily fatal. Subsequent symptoms indicated the cause not to be a clot on the brain, as at first supposed; and there seems to be a good prospect that with the General's vigorous constitution, he may so far recover as to be able to attend somewhat to the affairs of the school, although he will undoubtedly be debarred from public efforts. As the school has hitherto depended upon his personal labors to raise the large sums required for its annual outlay, great solicitude is felt in the matter. In the meantime his Hampton choir are going on with their work, and money has been sent unsolicited, to the sufferer at the Parker House. It is gratifying to know that his mind is clear, although speech is much obstructed by the paralysis. A series of graphic and serviceable letters about the Hawaiian Islands from Gen. Armstrong's pen have appeared in the Southern Workman since his return from here. His so recent visit to his native land and our delightful intercourse with him renders more poignant the sorrow with which Hawaiians mourn this check to his activity. Hawaiian Politics.—Notwithstanding the fact that it is only five weeks before the biennial election of legislators, no very definite public action seems to have been taken by any party except the •'National Liberals" led by K. W. Wilcox and J. E. Bush. These gentlemen who three years ago were seeking to restore arbitrary power to the King, now avow a desire to overthrow the Monarchy and establish an independent republic. It is not believed that any considerable proportion of either natives or foreigners are with them. The motive commonly attributed to their course is mainly a despair of gaining office by any other means. The notorious C. C. Moreno, now in Washington, has been parading in the eastern papers, the terrible designs of these revolutionists of Hawaii, who are held in check only by the "oppressive, rapacious, etc., missionaries." To these repressive agencies might be added the great majority of the native and foreign inhabitants, who do not appear to desire any change of government. We make these observations in hope of relieving the anxieties of our readers abroad, who may very naturally feel disturbed by those reports According to present appearances, this noble philanthropist and educator of the American Negroes has come to the end of his active career, greatly to the sorrow and dismay of the friends of the Hampton work. With a corps of Hampton singers, he was holding a series of vigorous and successful meetings in Massachusetts, raising funds for the school. On Thanksgiving Day, in the midst of a meeting near Boston, he was struck down with paralysis of the left side. He was carried to the Parker House, where he doubtless still lies, as there was no prospect of a very speedy removal to his home. His {amity were soon with him. He had felt symptoms of the trouble for three days, but had of Hawaiian revolutionizes. attached little importance to them. �("January, 1892. THE FRIEND 2 .' - Founder's Day at Kamehameha School.

We fjiye the following vivid description from the pen of Robert Louis Stevenson in his story, "The Wrecker," in Scribtttr'i Monthly. It powerfully delineates that peculiar combination of energy, intelligence, brutality, and yet on the whole, good intention, which is found in so many American shipmasters and officers, men who on shore are often excellent citizens and family men, yet at sea maintain what is little else than a state of cruel war with their men, themselves deeply brutalized. We have reprinted this description in the hope of siding to a better understanding of those evil conditions which so terribly pervert the happy relations which ideally should subsist between employers and employed at sea as well as on land. Christ would have us to make peace; but to do so, we must clearly apprehend the nature and causes of the war, and the mental states of the contending parties. We regard the following description as a most valuable contribution to that end. I had no lack of intellectual exercise nl a different order in the study of my inconsistent friend, the captain. I call him friend, here on the threshold; but that is to look well ahead. At first, I was too much horrified by what I considered his barbarites, too much puzzled by his shifting humors, and too frequently annoyed by his small vanities, to regard him otherwise than as the cross of mv existence. It was only by degrees, in his rare hours of pleasantness, when In forgot (and made me forget) the weaknesses to which he was so prone, that he won me to a kind of unconsenting fondness. Lastly, the faults were all embraced in a more generous view : I saw them in their place, like discords in a musical progression; and accepted them and found them picturesque, as we accept and admire, in the habitable face of nature, the smoky head of the volcano, or the pernicious thicket of the swamp. He was come of good people down Last, and had the beginnings of a thorough education. His temper had been ungovernable from the first; and it is likely the defect was inherited, and the blame of the rupture not entirely his. He ran away at least to sea; suffered horrible maltreatment, which seemed to have rather hardened than enlightened him; ran away again to shore in a South American port; proved his capacity and made money, although still a child; fell among thieves and was robbed; worked back a passage to the States, and knocked one morning at the door of an old lady whose orchard he had often robbed.

This honored and beloved Mother, and the wife of John Thomas Water, house, Sr., passed from earth, at 9:45 p. m., December 2d. She had for a The body of the late Minister and Envoy H. A. P. Carter arrived at Honolulu from New York, accompanied by his family, on the Australia December 1. The obsequies were held at the residence of the deceased on the afternoon of Sunday, December 6, and were attended by a great throng of our citizens, as well as by Her Majesty the Queen, with public officials, and foreign representatives, etc. The services were conducted by the pastor of the deceased. Rev. E. G. Beckwith, who spoke feelingly of his Christian spirit as well as of his exalted public services. The pallbearers were Gov. Cleghorn, His Ex. C. N. Spencer, Hon. J. T. Waterhouse Jr., L. A.

The burial place was contiguous to the Judd family burial lot in the Cemetery, but within the premises of the "Sweet Home" residence. week been suffering much from spasms of impeded breath, and her death was expected at any moment. She was sleeping very quietly when the final spasm closed the struggle. Her birth was at Birmingham, England, Eebruary 14, 1813. Married July 6, 1838, to Mr. Waterhouse; after several years of residence in Australia, they removed in 1851 to Honolulu, which has since then been their family home, although of late years, the aged couple have resided much at Cedar Rapids; lowa, and have spent much time in England, crossing the Atlantic almost yearly. Mrs. Waterhouse was in many respects, a woman of rare excellences of character. While of a sweet, cheerful, and controlled spirit, she was strong in will, and clear in judgment. She was a strong helper and wise counsellor to her husband, in both the acquisition and the management of his large property, as well as to an unusual degree the stay and solace of his domestic life. None but her own children can tell what was her unsurpassed excellence as a wise, tender, Christian mother. Her own life was one of faith, and she had the joy of seeing all her children walking in the ways of Christ. Her surviving children are Messrs. John and Henry Waterhouse of this city, Mr. William Waterhouse of Cedar Rapids, and Mrs. W. H. Rice of Lihue, Kauai. There are also two grandsons, Messrs. William and Henry Dimond, by a daughter deceased in early life. It is with grief that we consider that we shall no more meet so familiarly and delightfully the cheering and comforting face of this honored Mother. Our tenderest sympathies go out to the aged and bereaved husband, whom may the dear Lord comfort and guide. Hawaian Types in Sculpture.— The Kawaiahao Sabbath School children were feasted with a luau on Christmas Day. Her Majesty the Cjueen lent her presence, to the delight of the young folks. The Cjueen attended Pontifical mass in the morning at the R. C. Cathedral. The annual Christmas 'free ccltbia tion was held Tuesday evening the 22nd, in the audience room ol the church. The great school was rather reinforced in numbers for the occasion than depleted. A very funny ami snowy-bearded Santa Claus dispensed the copious fruitage of the large and brilliant tree, after which the children adjourned tti the parlors below, to till up with cake and ice cream, which were plentifully supplied. On Sunday the '.'7th, a Children's Service of songs and responsive r< ad ings was held in the morning, \. ith an entertaining talk from the Pastor. There was a Praise Service in the evening with a short discourse by the Rev. Mr. Greely. HAWAIIAN ANNUAL FOR 1892. Thrum's Hawaiian Annual for /.S'o.' comes to us greatly enlarged. It seems to contain everything that one can want of statistical information respecting these Islands. Pour pages give results of the Census of population. Seventy-five pages aie occupied with miscellaneous matter of great interest. There are two photogravure plates of Hawaiian Land Shells, accompanying an article by Prof. A. B. Lyons. Tourists receive full information to guide their quest. Everyone who has kept the series of these Annuals has a library of encyclopedic value about these Islands. All who desire to be intelligently informed thereon should get this number, and also previous numbers if not already owning them. Judge L. McCully, delegate of the Hawaiian Churches to the International Conference in London, is thus spoken of by Rev. Dr. Roseby in a letter to the Australian Independent: "I cannot forbear mentioning one (of the delegates) with whom I had the pleasure of formHis ing an intimate acquaintance Honor the Associate Chief Justice of the Hawaiian Islands —a fine specimen of the American people—a scholar, well learned in his profession, a wise counsellor, I am sure, in all that concerns the well-being of the brave little kingdom which he serves."

The Chilian Trouble.—It is with great pain and solicitude that we notice the apparently unconciliatory attitude of Chili toward the United States in the Baltimore matter. The latter government has no glory to gain by a war with Chili, nor can Chili reasonably expect anything but disaster from such a conflict. No friend of either country can tail to deprecate a war which must beso injurious to the progress of the weaker state. We feel assured that the stronger and limit enlightened Power will exhaust the resources of diplomacy before employing force to gain redress. This kingdom, as well as the Pacific states, cannot fail to nolo one necessary result of this contention. It will strongly fix the attention of the whole American people upon their naval necessities in the Pacific, towards which a majority of them have been extremely indifferent. A continuance of this quarrel with Chili must create a strong sense, now lacking, of the immediate need of the Nicaragua Canal, which if now open would arm the United States with triple power against her adversary, such as would probably secure the most considerate behsvior on the part of Chili. Coming nearer home, this affair is likely to intensify the American sense of need of their proposed Naval Station at Pearl Harbor. Both of those measures seem likely now to receive fresh impetus.

Much doubt has been expressed whether they would prove capable of the protracted endur ance shown by the English and American teams who pulled against each other for three hours continuously without result, the British team gaining the victory the next night.

This time our page is luiitor. devoted to a statement of the financial condition of the Hawaiian Board. We believe our pastors are interested in the facts and are willing to face them even when they argue a need of funds, and suggest the propriety of contribution. Il is a great benefit all around that tbe Board is carrying on so extensive a work. Its organization is not vet complete, nor are its newer missions adequately developed, and some day We hope to see it establish a mission to the unchurched white man of these Islands. But to keep it at what it is now doing is the obligation of every one. Many have received our circular. We ask oil who read this page to take it as a personal matter, and send us what the)- can. The first to respond to our circular was the beloved pastor of the Central Union Church. The coffers were about empty when his hundred dollars came in. Next came a niter from latin i Waterhouse promising the Board one hundred and lift) dollars a month for twenty-four months. Such a promise is a stout staff to lean on. and will help can')- the work forward a Ion:; way. Such a way of giving is very acceptable, and will save the Secretary and Treasurer a good bit of won)-. Another has promised to give twenty dollars on the last day of the voir. We hear of still a foiutii who was inquiring after tin- Secretary with a purpose to make a donation. A letter has come from vet another, a firm, strong friend of the Board and of every other good cause, saving that he will certainly give in his contribution soon. Who will be the next to help us ? Good friends, if you will all do something, each according to his ability. the required balance will be forthcoming and the work will go on without a jog. We want you to have a propertyright in what is being done even to the smallest sum. When you have given us your hard earned money, we knowthat we shall also have your kindly interest and continued remembrance at the throne of grace. Two live dollar subscriptions just received, are hereby gladly acknowledged. Rooms of the Hawaiian Board, Honolulu, Dec. 15, 1891. Dear Sir: The Board of the Hawaii Evangelical Association, through its Secretary and Treasurer invites your kind consideration of the following facts touching the work it has in charge: an There are now six separate missions which are being cared for by our Board. They are in fair state of organization with Church buildings and school houses, and pastors, teachers and evangelists. fhe heavy outlays called for at the starting of the new missions have mostly been met. A few hundred dollars are yet due on the l'ortuguese chapel just erected at Hilo. With this exception, it but remains that we keep the work on its present basis with a view to natural enlargements. The monies we accordingly ask are not for building purposes. By your generous aid this part of the work has been already well advanced. Our aim is now to perfect existing organizations and keep the field manned with wellsupported and vigorous workers. In what we are doing ioi native Hawaiians, tin- educational department requires most outlay. The North Pacific Mission. try Institute and the Kohala Girls' School, which are directly under the charge of the Board, have been brought, at a considerable expense, to a fine state of efficiency. It remains that we continue to these institutions, so invaluable to the cause, our most generous support. We lack the means to extend, as we feet we ought, the list of our Hawaiian publications. The late Mr. H. R. Hitchcock's valuable translation of the "Story of the Bible " is still in manuscript, awaiting the means of publication. Though our missionary pastor, the Rev. S. Waiwaiole, is doing a good work among our afflicted brethren of the Leper Settlement, we have not yet established our long talked of school there. Lor such a work funds would be needed. There is also a special call for schoolwork to be done among the Portuguese and the Chinese. Our school accommodations for these people are already over-crowded, and yet new pupils are pressing for entrance. Whatever else is done, this demand for the education of the youths of thase two prolific races which take so naturally to our Hawaiian soil must be met, for so we shall best be preparing them for intelligent, Christian citizenship. Our responsibility for the evangelization of the Japanese has been greatly enlarged. Formerly, the laborers of but one island, now those of the entire group, are under our care. In view of the present and prospective increase of these people among us, this community cannot afford to let them remain unevangelized. In assuming to establish a general city mission with two resident evangelists, and with Queen Emma Hall as a center, we have virtually added a seventh mission to our care, a rescue mission, this time for wanderers among our white brethren as well as for other unchurched people. In its support we ' 7 THE FRIEND. are ably seconded by the brethren of the Y. M. C. A., and by the sisters of the W. C. T. U. This mission is daily proving its usefulness, and we aie confident that our patrons will continue to grant it their liberal support. Most hopeful reports of a great awakening in our Gilbert Isl.mils' missions have come to gladden us, and revive interest in the foreign work. The feeling is, that this mission, which is now manned in part by aged Hawaiians, should be reinforced with new recruits. A most urgent request for aid has come from the Hawaiian brethren laboring in the Marquesas, With much toil, and with almost no help, they have built up two boarding schools the only two Protestant schools n( the kind on those islands. In response, the Board has ventured, and we believe with the approval of its constituents, to vote a slight addition to the usual giant. It is with these man) 1 appealing voices in our ears that we lay the facts before you, glad to tell of what has been clone, and confident, that with your liberal aid, we shall be permitted to achieve yet larger things.

One night Cjueen Emma Hall was so crowded that all could not be accommodated. In view of this fact an experiment has been entered upon of hiring for one month the galvanized iron building on Bethel street, that has been used as saloon, shooting gallery, and for political caucuses generally. It will accommodate about 160 persons, it is thought, and has the decided advantage of being in a much more central position than Cjueen Emma Hall, and the street preachers and workers, can tbe better bung in the different ones, whom they may be able to persuade to attend.

The sight of her old neighborly depredator shivering at the door in tatters, the very oddity of his appeal, touched a soft spot in the spinster's She clothed heart. * him, taught him, had him to sea again in better shape, welcomed him to her hearth on his return from every cruise, and wrten she died, bequeathed him her Since then possessions. he had prospered, not uneventfully, in his profession; the old lady's money had fallen in during the voyage of the Gleaner, and he was now. as soon as the smoke of that engagement cleared away, secure of his ship. 1 suppose he was about thirty; a powerful, active man, with a blue eye. a thick head of hair, about the color of oakum and growing low over the brow: clean-shaved and lean about the jaw; a good singer; a good performer on that sea instrument, the accordion; a quick observer, a close reasoner; when he pleased, of a really elegant address: and when he chose, the greatest brute upon the seas. His usage of the men, his hazing, his bullying, his perpetual fault-finding for no cause, his perpetual and brutal sarcasm, might have raised a mutiny in a slave-galley. Suppose the steersman's eve to have wandered: "You little mutton faced Dutchman," Nares would bawl; "you want a booting to I know a litkeep you on your course tle city-front slush when I see one. Just YOU glue your eve to that compass, or I'll show you round the vessel at the but-end of my boot." Or suppose a hand to linger aft. where he had perhaps been summoned not a minute before. "Mr Daniells, will you oblige me Instepping clear of that main-sheet ?" the captain might begin, with truculent courtesy, "Thank you. And perhaps you'll be so kind as to tell me what the you aredoing on my quarter-deck? I want no dirt ofyour sort here. Is there nothing for you to do ? Where's the mate? Don't you set me to find work for you, or I'll find some that will keep you on your back a fortnight." Such allocutions, conceived with a perfect knowledge of his audience, so that every insult carried home, were delivered with a mien so menacing, and an eye so fiercely cruel, that his unhappy subordinates shrank and quailed. Too often violence followed; too often have I heard and seen, and boiled at the cowardly aggression; and the victim, his hands bound by law, has risen again from deck, and crawled forward stupefied—l know not what passion of revenge in his wronged heart. It seems strange I should have grown to like this tyrant. It may even seem strange that I should have stood by and suffered his excesse*- to proceed. But I was not rfuite such a chicken as to interfere in public; for I would rather have a man or two mishandled than one half , I —, of us butchered in a mutiny and the rest suffer on the gallows. And in private, I was unceasing in my protests. "Captain," 1 once said to him, appealing to his patriotism, which was of a hardy quality, "this is no way to treat American seamen. You don't call it American to treat men like dogs?" "Americans?'' he said grimly. "Do you call these Dutchmen and Scattermouches," Americans ? I've been fourteen years to sea, all but one trip under American colors, and I've never laid eye There on an American foremast hand. used to be such things in the old days, when thirty-five dollars were the wages out of Boston; and then you could see ships handled and run the way they want to be. But that's all past and gone; nowadays the only thing that dies in an American ship is a belaying pin. You don't know; you haven't a guess. How would you like to go on deck for your middle watch, fourteen months on end, with all your duty to do and every one's life depending on you, and expect to get a knife ripped into you as you come out of your state-room, or be sand-bagged as you pass the boat, or get tripped into the hold, if the hatches are off in fine weather ? That kind of shakes the starch out of the brotherly love and New Jerusalem business. You go through the mill, and you'll have a bigger grudge against every old shell-back that dirties his plate in the tluee oceans, than the Bank of California could settle up. No; it has an ugly look to it, hut the only way to run a ship is to make yourself a tenor." "Come, Captain," said I, "there are degrees in eveiy thing. You know American ships have a bad name; you know perfectly well if it wasn't for the high wage and good food, there's not a man would ship in one if he could help; and even as it is, some prefer a British ship, beastly food and all." "Oh, the time-juicers?" said he. "There's plenty booting in lime-juicers. I guess, though I don't deny but what some of them are soft. * * It was in 1874 I shipped mate in the British ship, Maria, from Frisco for Melbourne. She was the queerest craft in some ways that I ever was aboard of. The food was a caution; there was nothing fit to put your lips to—but the limejuice, which was from the end-bin, no doubt: it used to make me sick to see the men's dinners, and sorry to see my own. The old man was good enough, I guess; Green was his name; a mild, fatherly old galoot. But the hands were the lowest gang I ever handled; and whenever I tried to knock a little spirit into them, the old man took their part ! It was Gilbert and Sullivan on the high seas; but you bet I wouldn't let any man dictate to me. 'You give me your orders, Capt. Green,' I said, 'and you'll . find I'll carry them out; that's all you've got to say. You'll find Ido my duty,' I said; 'how I do it is my lookout; and there's no man born that's going to give me lessons.' Well, there was plenty dirt on board that Maria first and last. Of course the old man put my back up, and of course, he put up the crew's; and I had to regular fight my way through every watch. The men got to hate me, so's I would hear them grit their teeth when I came up. At last, one day, I saw a big hulking beast of a Dutchman booting the ship's boy. I made one shoot of it off the house and laid that Dutchman out. Up he came, and I laid him out again. 'Now, I said, 'if there's a kick left in you, just mention it, and I'll stamp your ribs in like a packingcase.' He thought better of it, and he never let on; lay there as mild as a deacon at a funeral; and they took him below to reflect on his native Dutchland. ■* But you wait a bit, the cream's * coming. We made Melbourne right enough, and the old man said, 'Mr. Nares, you and me don't draw together. You're a fust rate seaman, no mistake of that: but you're the most disagreeable man I ever sailed with; and your languageand your conduct to the crew I cannot stomach. I guess we'll separate.' I didn't care about the berth, you may be sure: but 1 felt kind of mean; and if he made one kind of stink, I thought I could make another. So I said I would go ashore, and see how things stood; went, found I was all light, and came aboard again on the top rail. 'Are you getting your traps together, Mr. Nares,' says the old man.— 'No.' says I; 'I don't know as we'll separate much before 'Frisco; at least,' I said, 'it's a point for your consideration. I'm very willing to say good-bv to the Maria, but I don't know whether you'll care to start me out with three months' wages. He got his money-box right away. 'My son,' said he, T think it cheap at the money.' He had me there.'' It was a singular tale for the man to tell of himself; above all, in the midst of our discussion; but it was quite in character with Nares. I never made any good hit in our disputes, I never justly resented any act or speech of his, but what I found it long after carefully posted in his day-book, and reckoned (here was the man's oddity) to my credit. It was the same with his father, whom he had hated; he would give a sketch of the old fellow, frank and credible, and yet so honestly touched that it was charming. I have never met a man so strangely constituted: to possess a reason of the most equal justice, to have his nerves quivering at the same time with petty spite, and to act upon the nerves and not the reason. — Whatever becomes of my body or my In ma-lingo (Pads*) ■'Dun hman" include*all Teutons estate, I will ever labor to find someand lull: front ttie basin ..I tin- Baltic; "Scatlsswoui Ii". all what added to the stature of my soul.

With little taste for the discussion, we pen a paragraph or two for the information of our readers abroad. There has been the usual activity in electioneering, possibly more than the average amount of acrimony. Much that has been spoken may charitably be construed as Bunkum. No earnest enthusiasm has been conspicuous upon either side. The extreme views avowed by the "Liberal" party, led by Bush, Wilcox and Ashford. have caused a substantial union for a time, of the various sections of more conservative views, in support of the "National Reform" ticket. Bush and Wilcox sought to restore by force, in 1889, the much abused Royal prerogatives exercised under the constitution of 1864. They have now, in anger at the conservative course of the Queen, inverted their standard, and are clamoring for a Convention to create an entirely new constitution, intended to dethrone the Cjueen and establish a republic. This intention was explicitly avowed in letters of Wilcox to Moreno, prematurely published by the latter in New York. The alarm created thereby among Ha waiians who are generally loyal to the (jueen, has led him to attempt a partial disavowal of those letters; but the intention is not doubted. Their second avowed object is to prevent the ratification of the new treaty negotiated with the United States as being damaging to Hawaiian independence, especially in the cession of a naval station at Pearl Harbor. Mr. C. W. Ashford who defeated a similar treaty two years ago, is applying himself to this end in the interest of his Canadian employers against the United States, with an activity and zeal which deserve their highest appreciation. Nearly all foreigners, and a majority of the more intelligent natives, are strongly opposed to both of these enThe deavors of the Liberal party. Convention project is viewed as revolutionary, and subversive of public security and credit. No tampering of any sort with the Constitution is much favored in the present depressed financial outlook. As to the treaty, both capitalists and working men see in its full Free Trade provisions the only relief in sight for the present depression caused by the ruinously low price of sugar under the McKinley tariff. All intelligent citizens believe it to be of vital importance to perfect that treaty. These considerations have rallied so united an opposition to the common enemy, that we may hopefully look for the election of a fairly conservative majority in the coming Legislature. The New Church Edifice is assuming imposing form. The steel shingling of the extensive annexes is nearly finished, and very becoming. Several large arched windows are conspicuous. This edifice is only befitting to the great pecuniary prosperity of the country in which members of this church have largely shared during the past years. It needs, however, to be borne in mind that Christian ardor and fruitfulness are very apt to develop in inverse ratio to the costliness of the house of worship. Holiness and consecration have in all ages been more apt to grow in conventicles than in Cathedrals, in cottages than in palaces. This need not be so. This favored church may confidently be expected to become more and more abounding in all good works. Else its new and comely housing would be put to shame. Rev. R. R. Hoes, Chaplain of U. S. S. Pensacola, preached January 10th, at 11a. m. in Central Union Church, with great acceptance. Mr. Hoes has in many ways, made himself favorably known in Honolulu. 9 TheFriend. Number 2. THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS AND SPANISH AMERICA IN EARLY TIMES. [Kead before the Hawaiian Historical BuCsety Jan. M, 1801 ] The whole Pacific Ocean belonged to Spain by a double title; viz., by the right of discovery, and by the Bull of Pope Alexander VI. Certainly the Spaniards had a long start of other nations in its exploration. In 1513, only 21 years after the discovery of the New World by Columbus, Vasco Nunez dc Balboa beheld the Pacific Ocean from a peak in Darien, and afterwards wading into the sea, took possession ot it "and all its appurtenances," in the name of His Catholic Majesty, the King of Spain. Seven years later, Ferdinand dc Magalhaen (or Magellan), a Portuguese navigator in the service of the King of Spain, sailed through the straits named after him, and crossed the Pacific Ocean, discovering the" Ladrone and Philippine Islands, which became Spanish possessions. This new route to the Indies was claimed by Spain as her exclusive property. In addition to this, Pope Alexander VI in 1493 granted to Spain the property and dominion of all places either already discovered, or that should be discovered, west of a meridian line drawn from the North to the South Pole, a hundred leagues to the westward of the Azores and Cape Verde Islands. Pope Martin V had already, in 1432, granted to Portugal the same exclusive privilege in respect to all countries beyond Cape Bojador to the eastward. The line of demarcation was moved 270 leagues further west in 1494, by mutual agreement, in order to give Portugal a title to Brazil. This famous Bull of Demarcation did not, however, prevent the explorers of the two nations from coming into collision on the other side of the globe, where they contended for the possession of the Moluccas or Spice Islands. In the latter part of the next century Spanish expeditions from Peru discovered the Solomon Islands in 1567 and the Marquesas in 1595. But what is of more interest to us, is the fact that Hernando Cortez, immediately after his conquest of Mexico, fitted out an expedition on the western coast to reinforce his countrymen at the Moluccas. The little squadron, consisting of three small vessels, carrying 110 men, and commanded by Don Alvarado dc Saavedra, sailed from Zacatula, Mexico, Oct. 31, 1527. The narrative of the voyage is preserved in Herrera's work and also in �10 Burney's "Discoveries in the South Seas," both of which are in this Library. When the squadron was about a thousand leagues from port, it was scattered by a tempest. The two smaller vessels were never heard from again, but Saavedra pursued the voyage alone in theFlorida to the Moluccas, touching at the Ladrone Islands on the way. Nbw a well known Hawaiian tradition relates that in the reign of Keliiokaloa, son of Umi, a foreign vessel was wrecked at Keei, South Kona, Hawaii. According to the tradition, only the captain and his sister reached the shore in safety. From their kneeling on the beach, and remaining a long time in that posture, the place was called Kulou, as it is Unto this day. The natives received them kindly, and placed food before* them. These strangers intermarried with the Hawaiians, and were the progenitors of certain well known fami lie's of chiefs, as for instance, that of Kaikioewa, former governor of Kauai. IT we reckon by generations, allowing thirty years on an average to each generation, we find that Keliiokaloa was probably born about A. D. 1600. and was' reigning at this very time. This coincidence was first pointed out by Mr. H*. R Peirce, in a paper read before the California Acadamy of Sciences in 1880, and was' afterwards fully worked out by Horl. A. Fornander. As the latter has ahbWn, Saavedra's squadron, at the time of trie storm, was probably within 200 miles to the south-west of the Hawaiian Islands. The time was probably near the' erid of November, and the storm a regular Kona from the south-west, which would drive a vessel directly to the western coa** of Hawaii. No white people e'Kce'pt the Spaniards, were cruising in thtr Pacific Ocean at that early period, sftld' there stems to be little room for doubt tnat the foreign vessel which was wrecked on the Kona coast about this frhVe' Wis one of Saavedra's missing ships. No trace of Spanish influence on the1ancient Hawaiian arts, religion Or language has been proved to exist. Feather helmets were also worn by TaMtiari chiefs, although less artistic than thtrife' of the Hawaiians. The HawaiisttfWord' potto, right, has been supposed By Some to be derived from the Spanish butno, but it is a New Zealand word, rfleaning straight, or true, in that dialect. Poto is also a New Zealand word, meaning 1short. Again in 1542, Don Ruy Lopez dc Villalobos with Juan Gaetano as pilot, sailed from NaVidad, near Acapulco, in Mexico, for the Philippine Islands, the tfrriperor, Charles V, having sold his claim to the Spice Islands to Portugal ih 1839 for 380,y00 ducats. The narrative of the voyage states that 30 days tail from the coast, between 9* arid 11* N irth latitude, he discovered grbup of islands fringed with coral, * arid abchiriding with cocoanut trees, inhabited by Savages, nearly naked, wear- Februay, 1892.

Don Francisco Patale y Marin, alias "Manini," born at Jer*a in Andalusia, arrived in 1791, and remained here until his death in 1837, leaving behind him a large family. Don Marin was much trusted by Kamehameha I, acted as interpreter for him while- be (Kamehameha) resided on Oahu, and attended him during his last illness. A curious old document exists in ,the archives, appointing Don Marin captain in the Hawaiian Army, dated P«c. lQth, 1819, and signed by Boki. The Don deserves to be remembered for his example of industry and thrift, and his Access in cultivating many useful fruits and flowers such as oranges, figs, grapes, roses, &c. As early as 1809 we find him making butter, salting beef for ships, manufacturing wine, &c. He is said to have introduced the prickly pear for hedges, hence called by the natives "panini." The loss of his journal is much to be deplored. Another old settAsr was one Don Juan Eliot dc Castro, who was for a time employed by the Russian* in the fur trade on the American coaat. Having been imprisoned by the CaJifomian authorities in 1816, he was released at Capt. Kotzebue's request, and returned with him to the Islands, where he became Kamehameha's private secretary. His subsequent career I have apt been able to trace. The story of the Spanish piraXes who arrived here in 1818, has already haen my published in the Frietfd and "Brief History." The main points are as follows. -During the Chilian war of independence, the crew of the "Santa Rosa," a sloop of war from Buenos Ayres, mutinied and ran away with the vessel, After pillaging a town on the South American coast, they arrived at Kealakekua Bay with their plunder, where they sold the vessel to Kamehameha, and abandoned themselves to drunkenness and debauchery on shore. Their orgies were suddenly interrupted by the arrival of the frigate, "Argentina," Capt. Bouchard, which had been sent in pursuit of them, and promptly seized the "Santa Rosa." Capt. Bouchard having explained to the King that these men were pirates a°d robbers of churches, he had them caught and delivered up to justice. Mostofthe church plate and ornaments were- also restored. The ringleader was captured and shot on the beach at Waimea, Kauai. Capt. Bouchard afterwards sacked and burned the town of Monterey, and spread terror along the Californian coaat. Another pirate, the Qrocann* from Well- »» �12 Peru, visited the Islands under a false name in 1822, and was afterwards captured in the Austral Islands. The trade between the Hawaiian Islands and Spanish America steadily increased. Horses and cattle were frequently imported from California and sold at good prices. For example, in September 1828, a French ship, he Heros, from San Diego, brought down 17 horses, which sold for from $85 to $110 apiece. Flour was imported from Chili, and superseded the mouldy article brought around the Horn. As cattle multiplied and became an "important part of the wealth of the country, Californian and Mexican "vaqueros" or cowboys were imported to manage the "ranches;" hence the native term 4 'paniolo," a corruption of "Espagnol." They introduced the Spanish method of lassoing, breaking and training horses and cattle, and perhaps the barbarous method of milking cows formerly practiced here. The Spanish saddle, stirrup and spurs, the sombrero or broad-brimmed hat, and the Mexican poncho were all familiar to the old residents. The use of adobe or sun-dried bricks for building purposes, which was formerly common here, was no doubt derived from Spanish America. The only currency in circulation consisted of Spanish silver coins and gold doubloons, and it is only of late years that thereal has been withdrawn from circulation. On account ofthe lack of good schools in California, several boys from some of the best families were sent here about 1840, to be educated at the old "Oahu Charity School," under the care of good Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Johnstone. One of these boys, Romualdo Pacheco, afterwards held the offices of State Senator and lieutenant governor of the State of California, after its annexation to the United States. This event and the discovery of gold in '49 ushered in a new era in the history of these islands, and set in motion a series of changes which have nearly obliterated the last vestiges of early Spanish influence. [February, 1892. THE FRIEND. W. D. Alexander. An "Old Probabilities."—Prof. C. J. Lyons is running a "Weather Bureau" at the Survey Office. He is getting to be an adept. About the 20th ult., he said to us, "It is going to rain on the 29th." It did, and poured so hard that we felt it necessary to telephone and ask him, if he was not overdoing the matter. Mr. Lyons is working out some most valuable scientific results from his careful record for many years of barometer and tide-guage. The peculiar position of this group in the center of a vast and exceptionally quiet ocean, makes such records of peculiar importance. The Hawaiian Historical Society. Central Union Church Building. Chaplain Hoes of U. S. S. Pensacola, has been rendering a most important service to our Islands, by lending his valuable special experience to promote the organization of this Society. A leading feature of its work is the collection of all printed and manuscript documents of every sort, calculated to throw any light on the past in these Islands. Mr. Hoes is lending his experienced service as the Librarian. He has already collected and arranged a wonderful amount and variety of material, such as would otherwise be steadily going to waste, for lack of such a nucleus as is now provided. A meeting of the Society was held at the Public Library on the evening of the 28th ult., when Prof. Alexander read the excellent paper printed in this issue of The Friend upon "The Relations between the Hawaiian Islands and Spanish America in earlytimes. " Over one hundred new members were votedin. The admission fee is five dollars. Considerable funds are required for binding and other expenses. To illustrate the importance of this old document business; few persons perhaps are aware how much important information Prof. Alexander, while writing his new History, has unearthed from certain old boxes of loose papers found stowed away in the Government buildings. On Wednesday evening, the '27th ult., there was a special meeting ofthe church and congregation to hear a report from the Building committee. Prom this report it appeared that it was necessary to make an early provision of additional funds in order to carry on the work of building. Such additional supply of means it had been expected to call for somewhat later; but owing to the hard times, there had been some difficulty in the collection of the old subscriptions, although it was believed that very nearly all would ultimately be realized. About $6000 a month are needed, and about $40,000 more than are yet provided for, which amount is not very much above the original estimates. Three courses were said to be open. First, to suspend progress on the audience portion of the building, and finish the School and other rooms for temporary use. Second, to issue bonds for $40,000., thus incurring a heavy debt. This the Committee favored. Third, to raise the funds by subscription, which in the present financial stringency, they deemed impracticable. The congregation rose bravely to the occasion. A strong determination was expressed to raise the needed money by subscription, and a committee for that purpose was appointed. A general unwillingness to saddle the building with debt was earnestly expressed, although that would be better, economically, than to half finish it. The only demur that arose from anyone, was from the apprehension that such a severe drain upon the means ofthe church would paralyze their contributions to their regular Mission and Educational work, than which result nothing could be more ..ilamitous, or more discreditable to the ihurch. The character of this church is too well established to believe that they will allow any public claim to take precedence of our outside Christian work, and of fillingthe already alarmingly depleted treasury of our our leading agency in that work, the Hawaiian Board. To meet this sacred obligation, and at the same time to carry on our noble building, will call for a degree of effort and sacrifice, that only a most consecrated purpose will prove equal to. Such effort and sacrifice will bring rich spiritual The Kamehameha Glee Club gave a concert at the Opera House, on the 22d ult. It was highly praised. Mr. Theo. Richards conducted. There was an instrumental quintette of five. Good for the Kamehameha boys. A Specialist for the Lepers.—The Board of Health have the definite prospect of very soon securing from England the services of a suitable expert to locate at Molokai and treat the disease in the most scientific manner. Correspondence to this end has been going on for sev- eral months between the Foreign Office and the National Leprosy Fund, of England. While no effectual cure for Leprosy is yet anywhere in sight, very great relief can be given. The road to discovery of a cure lies through such scientific treatment. A most serious difficulty in such efforts at Molokai, will lie in securing obedience on the part of native patients to the prescriptions of the doctor, against whom the entire force of the kahunas is arrayed. His success will largely depend upon his power to win the confidence of the people, which will not be easy. blessing with it. Annual Reports of Central Union Church.—The usual annual reports were presented at meetings of January 20th and 27th. No specially new features appeared. The various departments of the church work had been fairly prospered. The reports will as usual, be printed in pamphlet form. �Volume 50, No. 2.] Spiritual Labors Among Seamen. It having transpired that Rev. F. N. Greely during his late passage around Cape Horn had been deeply interested in the crew of the ship, and had been the means of leading some of them to the Savior, several gentlemen interested in seamen frequenting this port have asked him during his visit here to do such work among them as his strength permitted. Mr. Greely has been somewhat actively engaged in visiting and conversing with the seamen in port, and having his attention thus directed to their numbers and their spiritual needs, he has taken occasion to lay before the Christian public of Honolulu, some of those needs as he finds them. He says: "The following facts have been impressed upon me during a single month of even most superficial effort. "From two hundred to fifteen hundred men at a time in your harbor; hearty welcome and gratifying responses, in manner at least, and words of greeting and a cordial hand-grasp; a disposition on the part of some to visit the reading rooms and attend the services to which they have been personally invited; the need of a Home designed and built with special reference to their entertainment and welfare; and a possibility, yes, a promise of men led to the truth and to Christ from efforts attempted in his name." The American Seamen's Friend Socie ty terminated their Chaplaincy here some seven years ago, when the lamented Father Damon retired from labor by reason of age and infirmity, Some colporteur work has since that time been quite regularly maintained by our Christian people, and many seamen have been brought into our religious meetings, notably those of the V.M.C.A. In the meantime, the Trustees of the Sailor's Home have been preparing to build, and are now well advanced in their plans. No doubt the present financial stringency tends to hinder. It is to be hoped that Mr. Greely's work and wisely earnest spirit will contribute effectively towards a full and early materialization of those plans; and that by their means, the moral and social needs of this most important class of frequenters of our ports will be provided for, as they now are not. Such a Home, as we hope ere long to see in operation for the cheer and comfort of seamen, will be also a most important auxiliary in promoting their spiritual advantage. When a sailor becomes a Christian, we know how warmhearted, zealous, and resolute a Christian he is apt to make, and what cheer and stimulus he often brings into our Christian gatherings. A Sailor's Home will naturally become a rallying place for such earnest Christian men. THE 13 FRIEND. Mr. Shimchi Ando, Ph. 8., is now assistant chemist at the N. Y.

Those whom the Council had approved rose as their names were called and repeated, after the pastor, the Creed and the Covenant. They then arranged themselves in the form of a cross, two lines leading from the pulpit to the entrance, and two others extending from the centre aisle to the walls on each side. The pastor, accompanied by Rev. A. Y. Soares bearing the baptismal bowl, passed down the lines baptising each individual, and the thirty-three children who had been brought forward by their parents. Some few did not care to be rebaptised, accepting as valid their baptism while previously connected with the Romish Church. Then those who were to partake of the communion took 6eats in the main room and received the bread and wine in the usual form, the The Funeral of Maurice Adler was largely attended.

While your Committee feel in a measure there is much cause for joy and congratulation in the above report, yet there is so much still untouched in the work about us, that it behooves us to urge forward to greater endeavor; especially do we refer to the necessity of a SubCommittee on Harbor Work. A grand field lies open in this direction and our Association should embrace this opportunity for furthering the interests of the Master's cause and sending good cheer and the gospel over the seas. With an additional suggestion we close. Reference is occassionally made in our meetings to the limited number who take part.

This building was fitted up by the association, its name changed to Bethel Hall and services began in it on December 26. Prom the very beginning these meet ings have not only been well attended but also of great interest. Men have been inquiring the way to God. A score or more have expressed their determination, with God's help to lead a Christian life. Of these quite a number have come out very clearly as to their knowledge of their acceptance by and sonship with Jesus Christ. The work has been of great benefit to some of those, who although Christians had allowed themselves to sleep while on duty. Work for God biings its blessing not only to those for whom we labor but also to the laborers. When the Divine life in the soul is quickened then men respond to the pleadings and leadings ofthe Holy Spirit. The work is still going forward; work for God once started never stops. The meetings in Bethel Hall will continue, if not every night at least thiee or four nights in the week. The members of the Y. M. C. A. cannot afford to allow a few to carry on this work. Let us put some of our prayers into actions, some of our aspiring thoughts into loving deeds. "For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. We often pray that God's kingdom may come; do we mean it; or is il a mere form of words ? Our actions and life tell to others as well as to ourselves how much we are in earnest. Reading Room. By the contributions of a few of our members the reading room committee will he able this month, to add to the attractions ofthe reading room by placing half a dozen large photogravures with handsome koa frames upon its walls. These will not only add to the attractiveness of the room but also give visitors some idea of the loveliness of this Hawaiian paradise. Monthly Meeting Y.M.C.A., held January21, 1892.

Coming at a period when the hostility of the foreigners to the missionaries was perA large audience assembled on Sun- haps at the height of its bitterness, he day evening, January 3d, at Central was to them a prudent and stedfast Union Church, to htar the informal re- friend, as he ever continued to be. His Council. port made by Justice L. McCully, as Delegate from the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, to the International Council of Congregational Churches, held in London during July, 1891. Our Delegate began by thanking the churches for having added to his European tour such an unusual social and religious enjoyment, as was experienced at this Council. It was opened at Memorial Hall on July 12th, and continued ten days. Mr. and Mrs. McCully were made the guests of Mr. A. Spicer, at his palatial home in the suburbs, where they were brought into intimate intercourse with many prominent delegates. The speaker noted the great variety and interest of the many papers read, and of the addresses made, extended reports of which have appeared in the American religious journals. He was especially impressed with the advanced theological views of the English divines, as contrasted with the conservative opinions of many Americans. Our Delegate twice embraced opportunities given him for brief speeches at the Council, in which he took occasion to correct some mistaken impressions current in Faigland respecting social and political affairs at these Islands. FVom printed reports of those remarks of Judge McCully, as well as from his own statements, we judge his statements to have been made with excellent judgment, and likely to be useful. The hospitalities and entertainments at the Council were abundant and varied, and were greatly enjoyed. Among them were trips to John Bun yan's Bedford home, also to Scroobywhere the Plymouth Pilgrims originated- unusual business capacity was proved by his success in the then difficult business of sugar planting. Practically, he was the father of successful sugar industry here. Dr. Wood was one of the very last links connecting us with the days of the old chiefs and people who had known and feared Kamehameha, and the old gods and sacrifices. In 1839 when he came here, Honolulu was a town mainly of thatched huts, with wheeled vehicles almost unknown. Results of Astronomical Work at Waikiki. Nature, of Dec. 3rd, reports Sir William Thompson as saying: "Prof. Eoerster of Berlin tells me that he has already received from Honolulu a first instalment of several hundred determinations of latitude, made during a first three months of the proposed year of observations; and that, comparing these results with the corresponding results of the Berlin Observatory, he finds beyond doubt that in these three months the latitude increased in Berlin by one-third of a second, and decreased in Honolulu by almost exactly the same amount. Thus we have decisive demonstration, that motion relatively to the earth, of the earth's instantaneous axis of rotation, is the cause of the variations of latitude which had been observed in Berlin, Greenwich, and other observatories, and which could not be wholly attributed to errors of observation." "These irregular movements of the earth's axis are believed to be produced by temporary changes of sea-level due to meteorological causes."

These works had only recently completed their great contract for the Ewa Mill, for over $200,000. Meantime the older establishment, the Honolulu Iron Works, continues to supply the needs of the country, as to machinery. The immense depreciation of sugar values consequent on the McKinley Tariff Act will undoubtedly cause the suspension of the weaker class of sugar plantations to a considerable extent, and a general shrinkage of values in all of them. Hawaii has enjoyed fifteen "fat years;" we will hope that the coming years will not be distressingly lean, although "hard times" are evidently entered upon. Here is an eloquent citation from Sir Bartle Frere's article on the adaptation of Christianity to all forms of civilization, in the "Missionary Intelligencer" (linglish): "I speak simply as to matters of experience and observation, and not of opinion; just as a Roman prefect might have reported to Trajan or the Antonines; and I assure you that, whatever you may be told to the contrary, the teaching of Christianity among 160,-000,000 of civilized, industrious Hindus and Mohammedans in India is effecting changes, moral, social, and political, which for extent and rapidity of effect are far more extraordinary than anything you or your fathers have witnessed in modern Europe. Presented for the first time to most of the teeming Indian communities within the memory of men yet alive—preached by only a few scores of Europeans, who, with rare exceptions, had not previous!' been remarkable among thi ii own people in Europe for intellectual power or cultivation, who had little of worldly power or sagacity, and none of the worldly motives which usually carry men onward to success—Christianity has nevertheless, in the course of fifty years, made its way to every part ofthe vast mass of Indian civilized humanity, and is now an active, operative, aggressive power in every branch of social and political life on that continent." Doing wrong always poisons something good in your own soul. The man who conquers himself fights a battle that the angels exult in. There are no disappointments to those whose wills are buried deep in the will of God. No man is really a large man who does not feel that his duty is larger than himself. Holiness does not consist in doing uncommon things, but in doing everything with purity of heart. �18 THE FRIEND. CASTLE & COOKE, HARDWARE, Inootpontteed ihmo.

At 12:30 a.m. of February 2d, the whaling bark Tamerlane ran ashore at Keonepoko on the coast of Puna, Hawaii, sixteen miles from Hilo. The coast was a bold lava bluff over deep water, the sea breaking upon ledges at the base of the cliff. The ship broke up in a short time. Nineteen men, including the third, fourth and fifth officers, succeeded in reaching the rocks over wreckage which had become jammed. The other eighteen, including the captain, and first and second mates, were lost, most of them in an attempt to leave the ship by boats, which were swamped. The bark was only nineteen days out from San Francisco. The land was supposed to be at greater distance. The sea was somewhat rough and the weather thick. No danger was apprehended until the ship was nearly in the act of striking. Capt. Walter Howland, and Mates Charles Tucker and Allen Wilber, lost, were all from New Bedford. Only one body was recovered by the searchers. The rescued seamen found relief at the neighboring ranch of Capt. Eldarts, and by him were conveyed to Hilo, where Vice-Consul Furneaux relieved their necessities, and forwarded them to Honolulu. A solemn requiem service was held in the Hilo Foreign Church on the 7th, at which the 19 survivors were present. This has been the most serious marine disaster on record in these waters, except the loss of the Kulamanu, which disappeared with nearly 100 people, last seen entering the Hawaiian Channel, some thirty years ago. It is not often that the end comes to men in form so sudden and terrible. We cannot help the seamen that died. What can we do for the living sailor-men, who face danger and death so constantly? They need to know the Savior, and to feel his arm around them in the parting hour. So do we all. The "Australian" Ballot was used for the first time in the late election, and gives general satisfaction, although there were many blunders made by illiterate voters. The polling was marked by quiet and good order. �18 Journal THE FRIEND Kept at Kairua, Hawaii. 1892 rise at Hoorueroa, a considerable village * * * Arrived at Towaihae at sunset, four miles below this place.

As she and her people have made great proficiency in learning to read and write, I comforted her with the hope that she might ere long possess God's written word, which might in a good measure compensate for the want of a living teacher. In her manner of conversing on religious subjects there is much intensity of feeling mirrgled with true humility. Upon the whole the word of God appears to have influenced her heart together with some of her people to have cordially embraced the Savior. In the afternoon I preach ed to a very pleasing and attentive audience in the school-house. "Friday, 16,—Set out at 2 am., for Kohala in our double canoe.

The rugged and lofty mountain scenery enclosing us on every side, save that washed by the ceaseless waves of the Pacific, seemed to shut me out wholly from the world, and lead me to adore the Mighty hand who laid the mountains in a balance, and takes up the isles as a very little thing. "In the evening during conversation I learned some of the traditions concerning this valley which not a little diverted my mind. As tradition reports, it was originally the residence of Oaken and Opapa,* the God and Goddess who made Hawaii and all the others of this group of islands. The story relates that they were produced after the ordinary manner of generation, in the order in which they stand to each other; viz.. Hawaii the elder sister, Maui the second, and so of the rest in order. After Opapa had brought forth the islands, men were then created in the same manner, she also being the mother of men. The first man that was made stood erect indeed, but with jointless arms, connected to his body by a web of skin, and legs • * Wakea and Papa. joined together in the same manner. Mawi, another deity, angry at this motionless statue, took him and broke his legs at the ankle and knee, and tearing the arms from the web that connected them to his body, broke them at the elbow and shoulder. "But as yet he had neither fingers or toes. Hunger impelled him to seek for food in the mountains, where his toes were cut out by the brambles in climbing, and his fingers were also formed by the sharp splinters of the bamboo while searching with his arms for food in the ground. By these fortuitous circumstances the human frame was perfected. "Monday, 19.—Owing to the high and impassable mountains between this place and Waipio, and which here terminate in lofty and abrupt cliffs that overhang the sea, I found it impossible to proceed along the shore. * In order to shorten our route, we ascended the mountain that encloses the valley by an inland and unfrequented path, which proved extremely laborious and difficult. » * We were obliged to crawl on our hands and knees, and holding fast by the grass, to pull ourselves up. * * We ascended in a sloping direction towards the interior. In a few hours we arrived at a level and fertile region that extends along the foot of the mountains on our left. We passed through several ham*lets *where schools were established. In three of these I had the pleasure to preach the Gospel to considerable numbers who had never before heard it. I likewise received several presents of fowls and potatoes for myself and company to refresh ourselves. * * After travelling until 8 o'clock, we concluded to pass the night in a cave on the bordei of a ravine called Luahine. * We spread down our mats and slept. "Tuesday, 20.—Arose early and pro ceeded.

A school, however, has just commenced under Mauae one of our pupils. At 11 o'clock we began to descend towards the sea on the north, when we entered a long and tedious forest many miles in width and almost impassable from the late rains which have formed a continual succession of muddy pools and slippery declivities. * * We were hospitably received at Kapulena. Late in the evening a part of our *company arrived from Waipio, whither they went the week before to await our arrival. They brought me 40 fine fish from a pond as a present.

The wind was calm and the sea smooth. I hired a canoe to take me to Waiakea 30 miles, but it not being ready to set off this evening, we lay down to rest. At 11 o'clock we were awakened. I took Puna and one of my boys to assist in rowing, and left the remainder of the company to follow by land. The canoe was small and the outrigger so light that balancing of * * only by the nicest our bodies as the canoe rolled upon the swell, and by frequently bailing out the water was our safety preserved. The cold wind from the land soon drove me to the oar to keep me from chilling, where I labored incessantly all night, and at daybreak we found ourselves just at the entrance of the Bay. "Byron's Bay, Dec. 2X—Arrived at the house of Mr. Goodrich just after sunrise, cold and wet by the sea, but after taking a cordial, felt relieved from my oppression. Found Mr. G. and family in health, and just removed into their new thatched house, built by order of Kaahumanu. It stands on the west side of the bay, about 30 rods from the beach, upon a piece of land recently granted him by Government. It is pleasant indeed after many days of travel and fatigue among the heathen, over mountains and vallies, exposed to storms by day and vermin at night, to repose once more in the bosom of friendship and Christian Society. -"Sabbath, 25.—Preached morning and evening at the usual place of worship. The house was filled and good attention given in general to the word. But it is to be regretted that no better example is set, and no more countenance given to religious things by Koahou the chief at this place. He still retains three wives, and revels in all the abominations of heathenism; while neither he or bis people are often at church. Such an example from a principal chief has a pernicious effect upon the common people, and accordingly there are found more open opposers among the natives of this place than at any other station. Still there is much to encourage to persevering effort in maintaining this important outpost. Schools are multiplying and knowledge is increased. There is also a praying circle, and a few individuals give evidence of hopeful piety. "Saturday, Dec. 31.—The new church being completed, we assembled * * to solemnly set it spart into the service of God. * * The building is 96 feet by 30, and was very well filled. After sermon I read a number of regulations, which were to be observed by the people in their attendance at church. The whole service was intended to inspire the minds of the people with thinly peopled, and little besides a tall a reverence for the worship of God." * * * * �20 A Brief History of the Hawaiian People' by W. D. Alkxandkk. Published by order of the Board of Education of the Hawaiian Kingdom. American Boot Company, pp. 3i\'and 7 maps. This long delayed History has at last arrived, and we are favored with a sam pie copy. The publishers have really done justice to the excellence of the con tents. It is a beautiful book, outside and within, as well as a choice piece of work, in literary, scientific and historical merit. The binding is tasteful, not show)'. The paper is nice. The type is large, open and clear. The numerous head ings are conspicuous in antique type. The seven maps are distinct, well colorad, and reasonably accurate. The mi merous illustrations are carefully select ed, and generally quite well engraved, some of them new to us. A few of the royal portraits are perhaps a little haul in the expression, but all are thoroughly recognizable. The half-dozen photo types are very good, especially the line portrait of her present Majesty. The Author -for his work is no compilation -tells us that while the book is intended for use by higher classes in our schools, it is also a history for the bene fit of the general public. In a rapid survey, every paragraph has seemed to us to bear witness to the author's industrious and original research, as well as to his judicious selection, and severe but skillful condensation of the immense amount of material in his hands, both old and new. Notwithstanding thii crowding of material, the book is anything but haul reading. The style is pure, easy and entertaining. We find the book thoroughly fascinating. It seems to be highly accurate, as well as impartial in its treatment of facts. Noting his limitations, the author says,"A history that aims to be both unsectaiian and non partisan must necessarily be incomplete. The dark side of the condition of the people in ancient times, and of their intercourse with foreigners had to be in great part ignored." Like all the products of the human brain, the work will prove open to criticism, and we shall look to take a hand ourselves in some friendly criticism. But we have no doubt that Alexander's Hawaiian History will long be the standard work Km general use and reference. The thirty-six chapters are divided into three parts, viz., I. Prehistoric Period; 11. To the death of Kamehameba; and 111. Later History. Under the first head are given the Physical Geography, the Origin of the Hawaiian People, and the Ancient Hawaiian Voyages. These are followed by eleven valuable chapters, involving the most laborious research, upon the ancient customs, laws, worship, religion, superstitions, ceremonies, festivals, arts, manufactures, amusements, etc., etc. On these points especial credit is given to aid from Mr. J. S. Emer- [March, 1892 THE FRIEND. son. The whole is a compact, lucid, and animated arrangement of Hawaiian antiquarian lore, and a strong framework of such knowledge for the preparation ofall who desire to delve deeper in the mine. The reliable history of Part 11. begins about six hundred years back, becoming more definite from about I 150 A. I). From the birth of Kaniehameha in 1796, the history is in full detail. From 1810 onwards, the author has been enabled to add materially to previous knowledge from search of government archives and a variety of old manuscript records. Like advantages have copiously aided the preparation of the Later History of Part 111. It begins with the abolition of Idolatry and the introduction of Christianity, and closes with the accession of Liliuokalani, occupying fifteen chapter*. and 176 pages, or a little more than one half of the book. There is a good Table of Contents, and what is apt to be lacking, a seemingly copious Index. The work is certain to be in great demand by general readers. We presume that like other school books, it will be sold at a moderate price. Hawaiian-born resident! have cause to be proud of such a literary product by one ol their own number. Father Bishop's Journal.—The portions of this journal for 1825 7 appear in this issue. Ol especial interest to some, will be the account of the earnest piety and religious inquiry of Mrs. John Young, who was the grandmother of the late Queen Emma. Possibly the tradition of W'akea anil Papa as reported may present some new features. The Involution of Man as herein described, though "unscientific," has points of interest, especially as illustrating the action ofthe untaught Polynesian intellect. We expect to continue the story, giving the return trip to Koni via the Volcano and Kau. The Volcano is described as in a state of unusual activity, with a single surging lire lake 1300 feet in diameter.

Education at Oahu College has been very amusingly and not unprolitably supplemented by active practice in canvass. ing and voting under the Australian Ballot system. Zeal was great and party spirit ran high. We hear that most ol the students were elected by each other to office. As a finale, Miss Mary Alexander was elected l)ueen. General Armstrong has continued to gain slowly since his return to Hampton; sits up a little, and has taken a few steps, with support. He begins to have l me feeling, but no motion, in the fingof the paralyzed hand. He sleeps well; his mind is clear; he listens to reading, and is interested to know what goes on in the school. "He is brave and patient as from the first, and has made up his mind to a year off from active participation in his own work." ers Mrs. Florence Williams concluded her valuable course of lectures, on Literature and History, by one upon Napoleon, given through Her Majesty's kindness in the Throne Room of the Palace, and attended by 70 or 80 ladies. Her treatment of her topic was mainly by a forcible and penetrating analysis of the conqueror's motives and policy, and while deeply interesting was instructive rather than amusing. The ladies of Honolulu have been receiving a laige amount of stimulating intellectual nutriment from this course ol lectures. The Rainy Season lasted seven weeks, giving on School street 8.25 inches in January, and 4.32 in February, The ram seems to have been very generally distributed on Oahu, as well as the other islands, and verdure prevails everywhere. �Volume 50, No. .'..] Work Among the Seamen.

This pag e «- devoted to ihr interests of tlie Haw.nun Hoard of Mission-, and the Kditor, appointed l»y the Hoard is responsihle forits contents. Rev. 0. P* Emerson, 23 THE FRIEND. - Editor. Mr. Theo. H. Davies, of the firm of Davies •& Co., of this city, and whuis now residing in Liverpool, England, has again come to the help of the Hoard, and again it is a thousand dollars. There are those who deeply appreciate the relief which such generosity brings. By the kindness of the Waianae Sugar Co., and of Mr. Alliens, the plantation manager, and of other friends, the Waianae Church has been able to Very materially enlarge the accommodations of its parsonage. In place of an old house formerly occupied by a leper, and which has been used as an eating house and store room, there has been erected a very sizable structure with dining room, pantry and kitchen. And the old, tainted building that we used to enter with a shudder has been removed. It necessitated the keeping of practically two schools, one in ljueen Emma Hall, and the other on the premises of the Chinese Church and Y. M. C. A. The growth of this feeling has brought a change of method. The boys and the girls have been brought together, the little ones in the lower rooms of the church ami the larger ones in the upper rooms of the Y. M. C. A. This has been the arrangement since the beginning of the term, and so far has proved entirely satisfactory. It has the advantage of affording the girls better quarters, and also of a very material reduction of expense, live teachers now being able to do the work which formerly required seven. It is not thought wise for the Hawaiian Hoard to oiler to pay the salaries of possible missionaries who may be secured for better conduct of the native work. We cannot do this in addition to what we are already doing. While the A. B. C. P. M. refuses to help us care for strangers who have come to us without the knowledge of the Gospel, we believe it is ready to reopen its all but closed work among the Hawaiians. This is it-, original mission among us. It is ours to proclaim to the parent Hoard our urgent need of help in this direction, and we shall be wise if we ask our brethren ol the native ministry to join Ul in this request, and prom ise to any who may be sent us a warm Welcome, and a definite, tiie,,inic relation to the work.

A scant breakfast in the morning of life whets the appetite for a feast later in the day. There is a difference between what is contrary to reason, and what is superior to it and out of its reach.

Business Meeting. In the unavoidable absence of both Ihe President and the Vice-President, Mr. P. J. Lowrcy was called to the chair. About 30 members were present. The Treasurer's report showed Receipts for the month, $333.80; Disbursements, $222.7 ft; leaving a lialance on hand of $101.Oft. The (ien. Secretary, Mr. Peck, in his report says,"The feature of the month has been the Bethel Hall meetings." A large number have been converted, some young men, but more ol those who are near middle life. Several large pho togravures of Vistas of Hawaii suitably framed in koa wood have been hung in the reading room, and matting has been placed under the tables, considerably mi proving th*j room in appearance. Mr. Ripley reports the work of the Temperance Committee merged in that of the Hethel Hall evangelistic meetings. Mr. Hidwell reports the members ol the Visitation Committee having made 14 calls at the Hospital, 31 special sick calls, and 3 visits to the prison; 38 in all. The Entertainment Committee report a Y. M. C. A. benefit in the Association Hall on the evening of the 33rd inst., at which the Hawaiian Camera Club will assist. The Employment Committee's report of very numerous applications for employment was followed by quite a full discussion of the matter by several ol the members. Later in the evening this important subject was resumed. Mr. C. M. Cooke reported a meeting of the Finance Committee. The financial outlook seems satisfactory. The collection amounted to $S.l.r >. It was moved by Mr. Howen that a new committee be formed, to be known as "The Harbor and Shipping Commit tee." Several of the older members made remarks. Key. S. F. Bishop gave us the history of the old Hethel property. Certain documents in his possession show that a sum of $1,000 is now held by the "American Seamen's Friend Society." of New York, that might possibly be obtained for special work among sailors, such as Rev. F. N. Greely has lately been engaged in. The resolution was carried, and the new committee will endeavor to get together all the informa- tion on this subject. It was moved by Mr. C. M. Cooke that Mr. H. W. Peck be invited to remain with us another year as General 1892 Secretary. The motion was unani- Wm.

We have solid evidence to believe that these services have resulted in much good. There have been about forty (40) who have come out grandly, and made decided expression oftheir desire and purpose to serve G.ul, as they say, "from this time out." All of this has been very encouraging to those interested in the work, as, indeed*, we believe it will be to the whole Association. Many who have not become outspoken as to their convictions have at least, by their continued presence, shown great interest, and we believe the_\' have had man)' impulses for gooti stirred within them.

Help for Gen. Armstrong and Hampton, Enthusiastic Meeting at the Old South. The following extracts from the BosJournal of Dec. 16th, tell of the meeting. "Huston's philanthropists and those interested in the negro and the Indian gathered in the Old South Meeting House Tuesday noon for the purpose of furthering and carrying on the work commenced by General S. C. Armstrong, who now lies in a precarious condition, suffering with paralysis at the Parker House. The meeting was an enthusiastic one; one might say it was necessarily so, because the great men whose words from Boston's pulpits and whose sentences from ready pens will go down in the history of the metropolis of New England were there, and with the utmost freedom sanctioned the work carried on by the Hampton Institute. General Armstrong, were he present, might well look back over his life spent in endeavoring to educate the ignorant and exclaim, 'The hour of my success is now.' Burning words from the lips of such men as Phillips Hrooks, Dr. Ha c, Rev. Samuel Hliot and Dr. G. A. Gordon, who are strangers to Battery, heaped upon the fallen lit ro the praises of grateful people." Rev. Edward Everett Hale said: "The General has done more for the reconstruction of a nation than any other man in this country, I believe. He has committed himself to the work in a practical and business like way, and to those persons who come to me soliciting my aid for other schemes I say to them, 'Take care of Hampton, your own school.' I will use one expression of (ten. Armstrong's and say that when you send a teacher to the South or West you send a man wlio will deal personallygwith the inhabitants, and that is what we want." Rev. Samuel Hliot D.D., said: "The school takes a class of young men and women in charge, few of whom are prepared in any way for education, and commences to instruct them. Soon its ton favored schools, and which I would not dare claim for Boston's schools, and which exists in no way in our great colleges. When the farewell sermon had been preached to the class of'9l, the thirty-three graduates, men and women, stood up in front of the pulpit and, in words I never shall forget pledged themselves to the service of the Master." Rev. S.J. BatTOWl was the next speaker. He said: "The best virtue of work is the work itself, and let this message be carried to the sick Principal, that of the angel of old. 'I know thy works, and thy love, and thy faith, and thy service, and thy patience, and thy last work is more than thy first.' When the smoke of war cleared away there was a black cloud on the horizon, and that cloud was a race of 100,00(1 slaves, crying aloud for assistance, and General Armstrong stepped from the front of a regiment in blue and answered the call. What has been put into the work is best illustrated by what has come out of it. The whole South feels the influence of the Hampton Institute." Rev. H. H. Frissell, Chaplain of the school, spoke upon the needs of the He said that the hardest task school. of all was the raising of the (15,000 with which to make the year's accounts balance. ''We need more $70.00 scholarships, which will increase the revenue of the school, and we want more from churches and individuals. I hold here the first page of a hook which will appeal next February, entitled 'Twentytwo Yean at Hampton,' the life woi k of the General. If you could manage to give one of these books to those families here in Boston who do not believe in the work, you would be doing a great favor." The next speaker was Hooker T. Washington, a pupil of the school. He is a clean-cut negro ofabout 2ft years of age, and surprised his listeners by his address. His language was well chosen, his utterance perfect, and in a well modulated voice eloquently related the condition of his people, their wants, his ambitions, and softly spoke of the great love which his class bears for Gen. Armstrong. "We worshp him," he said, "and when one of us workers becomes negligent, indifferent or selfish we are supported by the thought of our Principal laboring for the love of men." The Rt. Rev. Phillips Hrooks said "We are not here especially to pity Gen. Armstrong, for I believe he is to be congratulated more than pitied. A : emancipation, and by his eloquence has melted the frozen extremes of prejudice. The man and his work have been closely connected and by the work is shown the man. He has accomplished the ideal of his life." This committee was then appointed Dr. to solicit funds for the Institute: Samuel Hliot, Mr. Henry Woods, Mr. R. H. Steams, Mrs. Mary Hemenway, Mrs. William Claflin, Mrs. Alice Freeman Palmer, Mrs. Ellen F. Mason, Mrs. E, C. Holden, Mr. Elbridge Torrey, Rev. Edward G. Porter, Mr. Edwin 1). Meade, Mr. Frank Wood, Mr. J. W. Davis. The meeting adjourned at 1:30 o'clock. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF OLBA. It is with hearty regret that we record the sudden decease of the very excellent Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church in these Islands, a man whom we have long known and highly respected. "Father Hermann" as he was familiarly known before his elevation, surnamed Koeckmann, was from the Rhine, of German Birth. He joined the R. C. Mission here in November, 1851. At the death of the aged Hishop Maigret in 1881, he was promoted to the vacant Bishopric, with the titular diocese of "Olba" (in partibus infidelium). He was in his 64th year. Father Hermann for a long time ministered to the English-speaking people of his church in Honolulu, and was most favorably known to them and their Protestant friends. The late Rev. Artemas Hishop very highly esteemed him, after frequent contact with him in his often visits to Mr. Bishop's son-in-law, during a long sickness. They had much friendly and good-tempered controversy. The Hishop was struck with paralysis on the morning of the 18th ult., and died without farther consciousness on the evening of the 22d. The body lay in state in the Cathedral during Tuesday, wearing the miter, and holding the crazier, with burning candles, and Hawaiians waving Kahilis. The funeral on Wednesday forenoon was an imposing one, and was attended by the state officers, Diplomatic Corps, leading citizens, and chief representatives of the different churches. It must be very difficult to suitably fill the place of a prelate so intimately acquainted with the peculiarities of his diocese, and personally so acceptable to all classes, including the Anglo-Saxon and leading element. �THE FRIEND CASTLE & COOKE, HARDWARE, Incorporated 1880.

A leading complaint against our Puritan Congregational Church in America and these islands has always been of its undue severity in matters of social morals. But now we are catching it upon the other side. The combination of events is as follows. A 'tninent member and office-holder in th Anglican Church, a cultivated half-white, desired immediate marriage with a step-daughter. Of course no white minister would solemnize so revolting a union. Resort was had to a Hawaiian minister of our denomination. He wa:. of course less enlightened than his white brethren. The parties had a government license to marry, which, as a native hew old naturally feel to beauthoritative. He married them. The marriage was published in the daily papers, and from them copied into the marriage column of The Friend, which the Kditor does not usually supervise. N. v conies the Honolulu Diocesan Mag,: me of March 15th, edited by the Bishop of Honolulu, and on the basis of the above facts, charges The Friend, and the vhole Congregational body with lending approval to such a marriage. This di-gusting charge is too absurd , 25 The Friend. Xl'MliKK 4. for serious refutation. Why did not the But their crime is one of which society Diocesan state tbe fact that the offending must continue to feel a wholesome minister was a Hawaiian, which would have changed the whole aspect of the case ? We will here say that the Oahu Association is the only ecclesiastical body having immediate jurisdiction over the native pastors on Oahu, and will hold its semi-annual session some time this month. We have no doubt that the Association will then make suitable expression of opinion, stigmatizing such marriages as incestuous. We think no such case has hitherto arisen here. We have since been to learn that the minister did not become aware of the kinship of the parties until after the ceremony j. Tin-: Marriage pf a Deceased Will's Sisikr. The Diocesan drags into tbe case this controverted question— controverted still in England, but practically settled in the United States and the British Colonies in favor of such marriages. He dangerously confuses these utterly diverse cases as based alike on the principle that man and wife ate ' one flesh," which we deem to have no bearing on either case. We regard the Diocesan as quite in the dark as to the real ground of the iucestuous character of marriage to a step-child. As we understand it, the sacred and tender relation of parent and child is such as to create an essential sacrilege in the act of a child occupying the marital relation that has belonged to the parent. As quoted by the Diocesan from Paul, this is a crime such "as is not so much as named among the heathen." It is an act revolting to the general moral sense of mankind, as really, though in less degree than incest We contend that of child with parent. there is no such repugnance felt to a brother or sister succeeding to the marriage relation of one deceased. The Mosaic law indeed required brothers thus to take the place of deceased brothers. To confound the character of the the Diocesan does, two acts as seems to us as tending to confuse the moral sense in a very unwholesome and demoralizing manner. In so severe!)' stigmatizing such a union, we do not mean to place the offenders beyond the pale of charity, or deny to them the hope of restoration to some degree of social esteem. Clean, temperate, dutiful lives are open to them for the future, bringing the enjoyment of God's grace and man's kindly regard. — - horror, under the penalty of the corruption and destruction of its holiest ties. A GKAVB I'ai'i.t of the Anglican Ci iiK(.\.—A fit occasion has now arisen for us to free our minds to these very excellent brethren, as we have not hitherto felt quite at liberty to do. We hold them in very high esteem as godly, devout, self-denying, and in many respects wise and efficient workers for the kingdom of Christ and the salvation of men. Their error which we seek to point out is due not to personal defects, but to their peculiar training in a State Church. We charge upon the Anglican Clergy that they have directly blunted and corrupted the moral sense of their immediate flock and of the whole Hawaiian people by their uniform practice of welcoming Royalty to the Holy Communion directly from the midst of an abominable living the most notorious and shameless. They have donethis in accordance with the English practice where the sovereign being officially at the head of the Church, abandoned characters like George the Fourth, and other Royal Princes are welcome without question to desecrate the Table of the Lord. An extreme case of this kind occurred here a few years since which scandalized the whole community, when in the midst of the King's vilest excesses, the Bishop personally gave him the communion, and published the fact as matter of gratulation. The Rev. George Wallace, as he stated to us, remonstrated with his Bishop in very severe language, but received only the reply in a derisive tone, "Why, it is the King!" This thing is understood by Hawaiians to mean that religion is matter of form and not of character. It has tended to confuse and lower the moral sense of the whole corrinunity. It can hardly be doubted that it has materially contributed to the disastrous deterioration of morals and lapse towards heathenism of the Hawaiian people of late years. In the case of the recent offender, who was prominent in Court as well as Church, his moral and religious ideas must have suffered serious confusion/in seeing ths King come reeking from his heati .n abominations, and welcomed at the sacred altar! Now while we are on the war-path, we take occasion to declare the detestation very widely felt here, of the effort to erect a statue to a King of so debased a personal character. �26 April, 1892.

THE FRIEND. Resignation of Mr. Oleson. POLITICAL NEWS. We deeply regret that the Rev. Wm. B. Oleson has announced to the Directors of Kamehameha School, his resignation of the office of Principal, to take effect not later than July 1, 1893. His reasons are that the labors of the position have been manifestly too onerous for his strength, which has shown many signs of succumbing; also the need of making a change to ministerial and pastoral work in time, as well as to provide in season for the education of his growing family in the home land. We have no question as to the urgency of these reasons. We rejoice that Mr. Oleson's services have been secureduntilthis noble school has become established on a firm basis, and less experienced hands may he found able to carry on the good work. But we do not the less regret the irreparable loss of his labors as an educator, and of his counsels as a citizen. Although our good brother has lacked opportunity to acquire that facility as a preacher which long practice brings, be possesses exceptional ability in the pulpit. Few discourses in Honolulu pulpits have satisfied us better than his, or have been more stimulating. We expect for him a future of great service to the Church of Christ. Our beloved brother will carry with him tbe most affectionate regards of a large body of the best young men of that Hawaiian race for which he has labored in Hilo and Honolulu so many years. It seems that about a week ago the Marshal had definite information, as he believed, of a plan of Wilcox to make another attempt to capture the Government. The soldiers of the Guard were in consequence employed one night in filling a quantity of bags with sand from the Palace walks, and piling them on the basement wall of the Palace, apparently an inane procedure. Tbe sight of the bags, however, last Monday morning produced a sensation in the public mind. The impression was created that the Government were alarmed about something. It is probable that the very unscrupulous correspondents of the California papers sent on their usual assort merit of sensational antl injurious reports; and that the American public will be told that a revolution is imminent in Hawaii, to our financial injury. So far as we can learn it is true that Wilcox wants to dethrone tile Cjueen and set up a republic, with himself as president, but that he is totally kicking in the necessary support, and knows it. It is quite improbable that be will attempt it, unless he becomes deluded, as he was in ISS9, by the careless expressions oi' (lis satisfaction so abundant at almost all times, but which do not mean support Honolulu welcomes back Admiral Brown of the Flag Ship San Francisco. He has had some interesting, and same unpleasant experiences in Chili, since his last visit to us. Mrs. Brown and their son have joined the Admiral here. We trust the comfort and cheer of Honolulu will compensate for the less agreeable things on the Chilian coast. W. A. Aldrich, a prominent capitalist of ilameda County died recently at Piedmont, Cal., at the age of 68. Mr. Aldrich was long a leading citizen of Honolulu, and senior partner of the firm of Aldrich, Bishop & Co. Two sons still reside in Honolulu. We are glad to welcome back Dr. Chas. A. Peterson and family. Mrs. P. has been absent for a long time. The Doctor's shingle hangs out on Nuuanu street, just above the Fagle House. Judge Kuihelani of Wailuku died at that place on February 21st, at the great age of eighty-six years. He was a native of chief descent, and great integrity of character, long a member of the Privy Council and of the old house of Nobles. He was tax assessor and collector of Wailuku for years, and afterwards Police Justice for a long period. to insurrection. There is no doubt that Wilcox, Ash ford and Bush have taken encouragement to their schemes to get themselves into power by violence, from a very widespread restless looking to annexation as a probable source of relief for our pies ent financial difficulties. The public, however, have 100 much sense to accept the leadership of that Junta, or to sup pose that the United States would deal with a new republic inaugurated under such disreputable auspices. We wish to put ourselves on record .is earnestly desiring the present continuance of the Monarchy. It is probable that the Government will ultimately become republican. The nation is not yet ripe for that. Il would, under present social conditions, be probably disastrous. What is nmst needed just now is for the Queen to inspire public confident in herself b\ putting away certain advisers of ill-tepute, and putting her:-' If under the guidance of men in whom tbe public all have confidence. We believe that the Queen means well, and desires to act loyally to the Constitution and the nation. We believe that her throne will be well supported if she is seen to associate wise counsellors with herself. - PtNA COFFEE Lands. Messrs. Rufus Lyman and sons have secured extensive tracts in Fast Puna, and are about to engage largely in Cattle and Dairy farm ing. They also propose to plant coffee. As A. B. Lobenstein says, "Puna is the coffee district." It has the necessary elevation and moisture. Its chief excellence, like Kona, is its soil of recent lava formation, largely aa or clinker. Potsome reason, new lava, or else volcanic ash and cinder, produce a rich flavor in coffee that is found on no other soil. What Puna now most needs, is Roads. The new Volcano Road is opening fine coffee and other lands. The Crown Lands.—It has long been felt that the public interest required that the Sovereign's life interest in these extensive lands should he commuted for a Stipend, and the lands sold for homesteads to actual settlers. It now appears that the late King defrauded both his successors and the nation by leasing a large proportion of these lands on thirty year leases at low rates. He undoubtedly received therefor large sums in hand, to relieve his pressing necessities. The worst of it is. that these leases arc good in law. Heavy waves visited Kahului on the 10th, overflowing the road on the beach. Similar waves are reported from Puna on the 11th. These were doubtless the i ffe< i of Some heavy storm to the North- ward, waves On our true "Tidal" or earthquake would have recorded themselves harbor tide guage. as Pine Apples.—Great progress has been made on thisisland in thecultivation of choice varieties of this fruit, imported from abroad.

As several of my friends have indicated a desire to come up and see me once more you will notice in the above that such calls could only be productive of great dissatisfaction both to themselves and me, as there could be no free communication .between us, and even were il otherwise possible, I have not the strength for more than a few minutes conversation. * * * This is a long letter, it cannot be repeated, and for the information of those friends Who would be glad to meet me once more on these shores of time may I ask you to have it read before the Hawaiian Board or otherwise if there is nothing objectionable in your mind to such reading. Very truly you is. B. Bono, per C. S. B. THE FRIEND. 29 (Continued from ptige 31.) this long much needed house. If any friend wishes to send Miss Lyons $f>, $10, $60, or even $100 to help out that struggling church with this its honest debt, the writer knows that the chairman of its Building Committee will be the lighter-hearted for it. Ihe sum of $101)0 for a native parsonage may seem extravagant in these hard times. But when it is remembered that the bill for the removal of the lumber from the landing to the site of the building was equal to the purchase price of tbe same in this city, it can be understood that the proportions of the structure, though room}- cannot be large or extravagant. The pastor at Waipio reported $1&6 gave an altogether melancholy picture of his Work. It musl be noted that year before last this pastor was absent from his parish for some live months, Evidently he has not yet caught up with his work. On Friday afternoon the Association examined David K. Mebeula, called to Kekaha, and approved him for settlement, and appointed the Secretary and pastor Kalaiwaa to ordain and install him there the following Sabbath. In view of present pressing needs tbe churches weie asked to make generous offerings to tbe Hawaiian Board for the benefit of the Kohala Girls School. Kona is a charming region to go to and lias as line an outlook and as wholesome air as there is in the world, and Kona is just now very beautiful. The orange, the collee and ohia trees are in their loveliest green and fullest bloom. file traveler rules in coolness along those noble highlands, breathes scented air and looks oil on the vast expanses of land and water. What is needed is a large population and a better conducted industry. The land is there, as rich as can be found, but if there is to be production there must be ready access to the market. And to have this, there must be a great deal more of actual back-salary due him, and road-building. RECORD OF EVENTS.

The last mail from the coast brought letters from M icronesia. (iapt. Garland reports that, till Jan.

All on board wen- then well with the ex ception of Mr. Walkup, who was sullei ing from a cold. Capt. Garland reports the three Hawaiian Missionaries, Revs. Lono, Maka and Kanoho, as planning to. return in 1893, and suggests that Dr. Hyde keep his Theological plant running night and day, so that by that date there may be a new supply ol missionaries on hand. Prom Ponape we learn that Consul Rand was received by the Spaniards and was granted an interpreter. He is located at Ihe colony, which is on the north silk- of the island, tbe place which tatbei Doane called Canaan. TheCon sul took lodgings with a tiadei while his house was being built. Prom Ruk We hear that Mrs. Logan and Miss Kinney moved into then new school bouse- last September and thai the work is prosperous. News comes from Huston that Miss Palmer is to return to Kusaie to join Miss Hoppin, and that Miss Little has been gi anted leave ol absence. Shewill probably come up on the Star with Dr. and Mrs. Pease and family. Dr. Smith writes thai "Mrs. Garland sails from New York by the way of the Isthmus of Panama, with her mother, foi San PrarrcisCO, and hopes to reach Honolulu soon aftel the first of May. It is her expectation, as I understand, to go down to Micronesia with her bus band on the coming voyage." The Dr. adds, "only one missionary, as we are now advised, vv ill be lead)' to go down to Micronesia by the Star: Miss Annie E. A bell, who is to join Mrs. Logan and Miss Kinney at Ruk. She is now studying at Oberlin. She understands the arrangements for the year, and expects to sail from San PrancisCO so as to arrive in Honolulu June 2nd." Capt. Garland writes for an ice making machine, which he has seen, one that can at least give them cold water in hot latitudes. Shin.mo, Japan, that he arrived safely, "after fifteen days of pleasant voyaging from Honolulu. * * 1 had sevei al opportunities lo preach the unspeak able love of (iod to the Japanese passen geis while I was on board. "There was a poor man who had lost bis leg while he was employed by the ol Honolulu, He In.me to see his old Tramway Company was on Ins vvav mother. Think of his heart—who had lost a leg and gained nothing! We thought bun a proper subject of our chanty and we raised nearly $43, which will, no doubt, help him to learn some trade. ••During the last eight years Japan has been changed wonderfully, and I am a kind of dreamer, anil can baldly real ice that I have returned to my home. During my Btaj ~t Tokio I called on Mr. Irwin, the Hawaiian Minister, and was treated very kindly indeed. When on the Ttli mat. I returned to my parental home in tbe province of Shinano, the whole village welcomed me so warmly that I have forgotten the coldness of the climate. On the day of my arrival we had a party of 1.'.11 persons. Think of it! I am still very bus) with my visitors from morning to night, and have hardly tune enough lo write as much as I wish. "1 have already preached to our villagers about Jesus Christ our Lord an.l Savior. lam talking lo my parents and relatives about your kindness. * * Please accept my thanks and mv par cuts', and give 'mv aloha nui' to all to whom I owe the same." Mr. Okahe was a fellow voyager to Japan with one Win. Hammond, late ol this city. Rev. E. S. Timoteo, pastor of the church at Waialua, Oahu, has lately made a visit with the people of Wailuku, Maui, and with very good results. The parish was divided into districts and a time of visitation given to each. The get good. The subject will probably come up at the next General meeting. In 1890 the native church at Onomea, Hawaii, gave its pastor leave of indefinite absence on the ground, Ist. of the greatness of their indebtedness to him, 2nd. the smallness of the membership, 3rd. that so many have joined the Mormons. This was the third time the church had dismissed its pastor within about as many years. By the middle of I Mil the church was practically dead. It held no meetings, raised no money and paid no contributions. It was beyond calling a minister. It was then that the Hawaiian Board, unwilling to let the wotJ< utterly fail in this weed grown parish, took it up and placed it in charge of one of the late gradHe uates of tbe Theological Institute. has been there now nearly a _>ear and has called together quite a little congregation. They furnished him with money to buy lumber, mother Rice gave him a kit of tools and he has built himself a parsonage. By this means the prospect lias been somewhat brightened for the natives of Onomea. This hard working pastor is in need of a bed room-set. The Secretary would be glad to be notified if any one has a part or the whole of such a set to spare. Second-hand, inexpensive pieces offur- niture going towards the making of such a set will be thankfully received. The March meeting of the Hawaii Association began this, year at Puako on Friday the 11th inst., and continued till Saturday noon the l'Jth. Ten pastors were present and three were absent All but three of the churches were represented by delegates. The people of Puako, undei the lead of Judge Mahuka, had repaired their little stone meeting-house and dressed the woodwork inside with a fresh cat of paint. A large lanai thatched with cocoanut leaves which had been put up for the occasion in one of the yards, served as a kitchen and dining carried on from morning to of all classes and loom. The meeting, though a short one, and beliefs. Mr. Timoteo was accompanied each day by a delegation of workers without an) very notable feature, was from the Church and Young Peoples undoubtedly a helpful one to the Puako people. For the time being they were Christian Association. It wiis :i house to house visitation and generous givers of their store, even to many non chinch goers wen- conversed the precious manienie grass which the with and stirred into church attendance. hungry horses cropped within the walls On the second Sabbath the meeting that shut off their homesteads from the boil,.' began to fill up, and on the third I.alien, dusty plain. then- was still an increase of numbers. Pastor Desha reported that the baseIt nut)' be that some such a work as ment of his parsonage had been nicely this is needed to be done in other parish- floored and furnished with water faucets, es, and we think we have the men to do Hooio that his meeting-house at Laupait.

Monthly Business Meeting. There were 15 members present, with Pres. G. P. Castle in the chair. The Treasurer, A. C. Lovekin, reports receipts for the month $fi05.70; disbursements $352.65; leaving a balance on hand of $153.05. The General Secretary, H. W. Peck, reports a meeting of Committees from the various Benevolent Societies here, and also of some of our business men, in the Y. M. C. A. parlors, at which arrangements were made for systematically dealing with distress among the unemployed. The considerable exodus of mechanics and others has caused a falling off in the attendance at our meetings but the interest is still maintained. Over 1,000 newspapers and magazines, and more that 2,000 tracts, leaflets, etc., have been placed aboard the whaling fleet. The Visitation Committee, Chairman J. B. Bid well reports visits to 3 ships, 11 visits to the Hospital, and 13 special sick calls. There is no serious illness at present among any of our members. The Entertainment Committee, Chairman F. J. Lowrey, reports an entertainment on Feb. 23, at which the Hawaiian Camera Club kindly took part, which netted the Association just over $150. Other Committees presented oral reports showing routine work going on ainment consisted of a stereopticon exhibition under the management of Mr. Hedemann and several other members of the Hawaiian Camera Club. Beginning with a fine presentation of the word "Aloha" they took the audience on a journey to most of the leading countries of the world. Many places, long since renowned in history were shown; among these mention should be made of scenes from Rome and the Holy Land. Hawaiian scenery and scenes were also given a prominent place. Some of the scenes representing native Hawaiians caught in grotesque positions by the "Kodak Fiends," caused much amusement. This part of the entertainment which reflected much credit upon those who managed it, was brought to a close by the presentation of that distinctly Hawaiian word "Pau." His Honor. Judge S. li. Dole kindly consented to announce and explain the different views as presented. Mr. F. J. Lowrey, chairman of the Entertainment committee presided during the evening, and had good reason to congratulate himself not only upon the success of the entertainment but also upon being able to hand to the Finance Committee over one hundred and fifty dollars as the net receipts. The following was the program: Instrumental Duet—The Misses Hopper Song—Kamehameha Glee Club. Violin Solo, Ormond Wall. Song, Miss Young. Vocal Duet, Mrs. A. Y. Rice and Mr. Sanford Bennett.

The hall which has a seating capacity of over 300 chairs was crowded, man)' having to stand. This was due not only to sympathy for the Association hut also to the excellence of the entertainment provided by the Entertainment Committee largely through the efforts of its chairman Mr. F. J. Lowrey. The first part of the programme was musical —vocal and instrumental. Some of our best local talent assisted by Mrs. Rice of New York and Mr. Bennett of San Francisco furnished the music. The appreciation of the audience was shown by the hearty applause given at the close of each rendition and by several recalls. The second part of the enterconcert was given in the Y. show a slight decrease, undoubtedly caused by the large emigration of Mechanics and laborers, who as a class so often compose the greater number of the attendants upon our meetings; still, we yet have numbers enough to call for all our most earnest endeavors and zeal in the carrying forward of our meetings, and we trust our brethren will not leave the work to a few willing ones, but sustain us in every possible way. The attendance at the 6:30 p.m. Sunday Meeting has been as follows: Feb. 21st 98; 28th 97; March 6th 96; 13th 79; 20th 71. Total 440 or an average of 88.

Death of a Noted Man of the Past. In Cambridge, Mass., January 16th, 1892, in his 98th year, Henry Hill of Braintree. He was born at Newburgh, N. V., Jan. 10, 1795, soon after which date his father's family removed to Catskill. In 1809 he became clerk for Hill & Smith, 100 Wall Street, New York. In 1815 he went as super-cargo to Paris, arriving there just after the battle of Waterloo, and traveled in England as well as on the Continent. In 1817 he went on business to Chili and resided in Valparaiso four years, acting as United States Consul for Valparaiso and Santiago. In 1821 he married Laura Porter, daughter of Rev. David Porter D.D., of Catskill. He was treasurer of the A. B. C. F. M. from 1822 to 1854, for eleven years was a member of its Prudential Committee, and for nine years treasurer of the American Tract Society, Boston. In 1865 he married Miss Rhoda Stetson, of Braintree, who survives him. He leaves three children -Rev. Geo. E. Hill, of Haverhill, Mass.; Richard B. Hill, of Brooklyn, N. V.; and Mrs. Joseph B. Leake, of Chicago. 111. His only sister, Mrs. Eliza Hill, widow of Rev. Rufus Anderson. D.D., preceded him to the better land three years ago. His illness was brief, his mind clear to the last, and his end so peaceful that ••we thought him dying when he slept, and sleeping when he died."—JV. Y. Observer. "It was during the ti easurership of Mr. Hill, that the branch of the American Board of Foreign Missions placed upon the Hawaiian Islands imported a large sum of money which entered into the circulating medium of the country. The cause of this action on the part of the Mission was the high fluctuating price of exchange. This course was initiated some time in the decade of 1830 and continued until 1850. "The price of exchange was rarely as low as seven per cent, usually from ten to twelve per cent, and was liable oftentimes to run up as high as twenty and twenty-five per cent. Connected with and dependent upon the Mission during this period were sometimes over forty, rarely less than that number of families. To avoid the high and shifting price of exchange, silver coin was packed in strong oaken sealed Kegs and sent from Boston by the ships and vessels of C. Brewer & Co's line. "Arrived at Honolulu it was originally iced in the hands of Ladd & Co., and mmanded the customary interest of ! Kingdom, arrangement being agreed by them that they would be prepared make stated payments at stated times experience proved necessary. It was bsequently placed in the hands ot ewer & Co. on the same agreement. by this procedure was reo h minimum of cost, amounting est on the time of the ship's pasvvav of Cape H..,„. which was I Bhange rarely more than six months, or one half year at Massachusetts rates of interest' which is seven per cent, per annum, or three and a halfper cent, cost of exchange. "Probably some if not considerable of this money was in the country until the coinage of the Kalakaua dollar and the smaller coins into which it is divided, and the act of the Legislature debasing foreign silver coinage other than American swept it out of the Kingdom. Mr. Hill resigned the treasurership of the American Board of Missions and the American Tract Society, Boston, when he reached the age of seventy years, giving as a reason, the quotation from the Psalm of David respecting the age allotted to humanity. He has been succeeded by James M. Gordon Esq., and by the present Treasurer Langdon S. Ward Esq. of Boston." The above is communicated by a friend. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were greatly beloved here in the old days, for their warm hospitality to the missionaries when at Boston, as well as for the faithful Treasurer's attention to their orders for supplies.

He expressed himself perfectly willing, personally, to let the American Mission go to work again; but must wait orders from headquarters. Cannot President Harri son put a little pressure upon the Spanish authorities at Marid? Consul Rand has not received any exequatur and consequent ly has not been received as Consul. Mr. Rand after visiting Ngatik with the school, finally settled down at Mokil. Ngatik is too small an islet, and Mokil not much larger. The exact figures of area and population are not attainable. What will he do for water? He has one man and his wife, and one of the Ponapean preachers. That constitutes the Ponape Training School at this time. How long will he have to wait before Ponape is open to him again? When will there be any reimbursement for the wanton destruction of property? Will the estate of Mr. I >oane ever realize anything for his loss? On Ruk, Mr. Snelling is too much confined to the school, and ought to have an associate at an early day. If it takes as long as it has done to get an associate for the N. P. Mission Institute, we may all be dead before the man arrives. There was so little time for correspondence that the news from Ruk is very meagre.. Mrs. Logan wants more literature, and expected it by the Star. We have heaid nothing about it in Honolulu. Mrs. Logan says the manuscripts went on to Boston, and she was promised the books last year. Henry Nanpei of Ponape, sent up his oldest boy, Oliver, and according to agree ment made, he is now a pupil in the Kamehameha Preparatory School, where it is hoped he will do well. He knows English but does not speak it much. He does not seem at all homesick. Wanted, A Hawaiian Bazaar.-Under this heaeling, Mr. Frederick Steams, a tourist, makes valuable suggestions in the Advertiser of April 14th, recomending a permanent place for the exhibition and sale ofnative curios and manufactures, under the direction of an association which would encourage their production, and devise new forms to meet public taste and demand. A profitable and useful traffic could unquestionably be promoted in reviving the manufacture of the more delicate and elegant forms of matting, calabashes, and especially of tapa, the making of which is almost a lost art. We were lately reminded of this, by seeing spread on the floor in the new verandah room of the Hawaiian Hotel, a coarse lauhala mat, such as could formerly have been found only in the huts of the poorest of the people. Mr. Steams also recommends the maintenance in such a Bazaar of supplies of our handsome fishes in alcohol, and of land-shells and ferns. THE NEW VOLCANO ROAD.

After a lingering illness, the Hon. Lawrence McCully passed from this life at his residence at Pawaa, April 10th, at the age of nearly 01 years. Horn in X. Y. City, his early home until manhood was in Oswego. He graduated at Vale in 1852, and two years later came to Honolulu with letters to Judge Lee and Hon. C. K. Bishop. He served formally years in important judicial and clerical functions, and for three years as Interpreter to the Supreme and Police Courts. In Maw 1860, he was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. From 1865 to 1871, be was Clerk of the Sup-reme Court. In 1877, he became Second Associate Justice of the Court, and on the promotion of Mr. Judd in 1881, to the Chief Justiceship, Judge McCully became First Associate Justice and Vice Chancellor, which positions he continued to occupy until his disease. It is to be said of him as Judge that he contributed much weight to the Supreme Court of this Kingdom by bis high personal character, as well as I>\ his great legal erudition and mental ability. Judge McCully was notable among our many-cultivated men for his scholarly mental turn, and for bis choice and facile use of language, He twice visited Europe with his wife, in 1883and 1891, profiting by travel as few do, through his highly cultivated intelligence. He was a facile, graceful, and thoughtful extempore speaker, a fact which made him a most serviceable representative of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association at the great Congregational Conference in London. On his return thence in the latter part of the year a severe atlack of grippe in California left effects which developed into the malady which, after some fluctuations, ended his valued life. He was married May 26th, 186G, to Miss Ellen Harvey at the residence ot Chief Justice Allen. Besides his honored widow, he has left a brother Rev. Charles G. McCully of Calais, Maine, who once ministered in Fort St. Church for a season: also a sister, well known here, MissAnna McCully of Tokio, Japan. Judge McCully wits a beloved brother in the Central Union Church, whosevoice was greatly welcomed when heard in prayer or in counsel. He gladly seconded the many and efficient laborsof his wife among the poor and ignorant oi the city, among whom she has been foremost in Carrying the words of life. We venture to add our own tribute of the warm personal regard which has grown up through much intercourse since his first arrival at the Islands in the happy spring-time of life. Among our most pleasant memories are those of a remarkable night spent together in 18. )5, at the foot of the great lava-flow in Hilo. The funeral services were held at 2:30 P.M. of the 11th at Central Union Church, Rev. Drs. Beckwith and Hyde officiating, r 37 THE FRIEND. the latter giving a friendly and loving sketch of the character and qualities of the deceased. There was a full attendance of the Court and Government officials, of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps, Naval officers, the Bar, and prominent citizens. The remains were escorted to Nuuanu Cemetary by the Police and Military, and a long procession of friends. Easter Sunday.-Special Easter services were held in Central Union Church on April 17th. An Easter Praise service was held in the evening at Kaumakapili Church. Also at the Portuguese Church, at 2 p.m. It was prettily decorated. Songs and recitations were given by the children of the Mission School, with addresses by Rev. A. Y. Soares and Dr. N. B. Emerson. A Popular Biography of Captain Cook. Oyster Propagation is being attempted by Hon. S. M. Damon at Moanalua with apparent beginnings of success. A small native Pearl Oyster used to be abundant at Pearl Lochs, but through over fishing and by reason of mud from the hills, has become nearly or quite extinct. Would not success be most likely to attend efforts to grow oysters at Pearl Harbor, where fresh water flows copiously into the sea ? The title of this little book of 191 pages '-Captain Cook; by Walter Besant." Itwas published in 1890, by McMillan and Co. in London and New York. The author seems to have made use of most of the available materials, as to Cook's earlier life. These are extremely scanty. The strong and heroic navigator rese from the iowliest beginnings, his father and mother being Scotch and Yorkshire peasants. He himself rose from being cabin-boy to mate of a collier, then A. B. Seaman on a King's Ship, and ultimately Master and Lieutenant. He distinguished himself in long and most able service in surveying the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, before his three wonderful Exploring voyages in the Antarctic, and Pacific, as well as Arctic Oceans. Mr. Besant presents the higher traits of the great navigator's character in full relief. He was strong, able, accomplished in the higher arts of the navigator far beyond his fellows. He was heroic in high degree, being untiring and patient in the fulfilment of the most arduous duties and protracted labors, and undaunted by obstacles or painful toils. He was eminently wise and practical in the conduct of his great work, as shown for example, in his perfect success in combating the ravages of scurvy. Notwithstanding much severity of disposition Cook was trusted and venerated by his officers and men. Mr. Besant does not disguise, but rather illustrates at length the Explorer's chief defect, a violence and imperiousness of temper which at times led him to extreme proceedings, and which caused his death. This serious fault was one which Cook shared in common with very many of the world's great heroes. Nor was it one likely to become mitigated or softened in the course of a life spent from early youth amid the severities and tyrannies of mari time and naval life. Notwithstanding this defect, Captain Cook was not only a great man, but we think substantially an honorable and just man. His faults were those of his period and of his profession. His virtues belong to mankind, and deserve the highest honor. The circumstances of his death here, have necessarily brought into prominence his faults before our minds. But let us not fill to render due honor to the eminent virtues of the man whose heroic courage and patience opened the Pacific and Aus tralasia to colonization, to commerce and is, to Christian missions. A Hermit Crab of extraordinary size and great beauty occupying a noble specimen of Doliitni Perdix shell, was recently exhibited alive in the window of Hobron, Newman &. Co.'s Drug store, where he is still to be seen in alcohol. The ground color of the animal while alive was bright red, relieved with beautiful markings. It is generally understood that crabs and lobsters turn red only after cooking. Rev. W. H. Barnes, late Rector of St. Andrew's Cathedral, left on the sth of April, for a post in eastern Canada, after a residence of many years in Lahaina and Honolulu. He was highly esteemed as an efficient and devoted Christian worker. RECORD OF EVENTS. April Ist.- Mortuary report for March shows a total of 48, of which one-third belonged to the infantile period.

Wry noteworthy is the following expres"My station is thai of a Constitusion tional Monarch, accepting the will of My p.ople as pr.mounted by them through their representatives in the Legislature, and My Constitutional advisers, the Mm islers of the Crown." This is a dignified ai knowledginent of the Sovereign's obligation and inumion to let the Lt'g;slaturc govern through the Cabinet, in place of former pcrs m.il government. We believe that no such language as ibis has hitherto been used in any Royal speech. These words must go far to mitigJtg any appre : uf the police with the open and nearly unrestrained gambling of natives and Chinese at the paka-pio and clicfa resorts of the celestials. This state of thinos constitute* a moral cancer of a malignant type. As usual in a pestilence anionl; the lower classes, the higher are nut at all exempt. This same evil is exceedingly prevalent in the Slates. Indeed the contagion has invaded us from there. The N. Y. Independent of May r>th has a symposium of twenty-seven large columns upon this subject, contributed to by fifteen ■ leading men. Pastor Beckwith of Central Union Church has also made this growing vice the object of vigorous attack from the pulpit, in discourse! delivered May 15th. Among the points brought out in the valuable discussion in the Independent, is the fact that gambling is preeminently a crime breeder. It is an intensely fascinating vice, and takes a nearly inextricable grip upon its victims. By its excitement, it unfits them for patient diligence in' the ordinary occupations of life. It generates idleness. It is a tremendous incitement to peculation and In the sudden disasters defaulting. which gambling springs upon its votaries, it drives them to suicide, or to outlawry. So well-known are these tendencies of this vice, that prudent business men will promptly discharge employees who are known to gamble in any form, as unfit to be trusted. Another point made prominent is that the most wide-spread and destructive form of gambling is found in the "bookmaking" and "pool-selling" of the horse- 41 NUMIU'.K (). races. There seems to be no doubt that the present increase of the vice is due, more than to any other cause, to the immense development of horse-racing. Why the contests of horse flesh should minister to the gambling spirit more than yacht and boat races, or base ball sanies, is a question we need not here discuss. It is well-known that they do so, and the reason is not far to seek, we imagine. Meantime the habit ol betting rendered so active and inveterate in tile-horse-race, extends to those other forms of recreation, and corrupts the whole. Numbers of our best citizens, even earnest Christians, have been in the habit of attending the races at Kapiolani Park, as an innocent amusement. We beg our friends to reconsider their duty, and not thus to contribute, bytheii pies ence and influence, to foster the terrible crime breeder and moral cancer of gambling in Honolulu. THE TREASON CASES. Ol k monthly chronicle of events r c. ids the fact of the arrest of eighteen persons charged with treason, and of their much delayed examination for commitment to be tried. Tnis examination is making slow progress as we go to press. Enough evidence on the case has transpired, not perhaps to make their commitment a certainty, hut enough to satisfy the public that an organized conspiracy was in progress, with the intention of seizing the government before the meeting of the Legislature. The people engaged in it were not formidable, but cpiite the contrary, cither in numbers, ability, or resources. The participation, as a leader, of one man of intelligence seems to imply that he expected some supiiort from parties not directly engaged in the conspiracy. Wilcox and others concerned have for some time been using language of increasing violence, seeking to inflame the minds of the natives. It can now hardly be doubted that the did the correct thing to squelch the affair before it came to a head. The best time to extinguish a conflagration is while it is being kindled, especially if any inflammable elements are known to exist. With our liberal Constitution and (iovernment able Legislature, there is no reason for irregular means for reform of grievances, and we believe no probability of any further puerile attempts of that sort. �42 June,1892. THE FRIEND. OBITUARY. Mks. LUCIA Cr. Lyons At noon, April 27th, this venerable missionary mother passed to her eternal rest, at the great age of 84 years. Eiftyfour of these had been passed in uninterrupted residence in the old mission home at Waimea, Hawaii. Lucia Garrat Smith was born at Burlington, Otsego Co., N. V., April 17th, 1808. Her father was for many years a merchant, and a man of intelligence. With her elder sister Marcia, who still survives in America, she sailed from Boston in the bark Umry Frnzier, Dec. 14th, 1836, in a company of thirty-two missionaries, being the largest reinforcement sent to the Hawaiian Mission. We believe the only remaining survivors of the thirtytwo still residing here, are the Hon. S. N. Castle and Mrs. J. M. Cooke. Soon after their landing, the still young and very lovely wife of Rev, Lorenzo Lyons died quite suddenly at Honolulu, May 14th, IS. 17, leaving one child. July 14th, 1838, Miss L. G. Smith was united in marriage to Mr. Lyons, and nobly filled the empty place in his home, as a faithful helpmeet and tender, wise and watchful mother. We well remember her maiden comeliness, as well as the mature and cheerful though worn features of her middle age, when her own three children were growing up in their retired home, the older son having gone to college. Mr. Lyons was a tireless itinerant throughout his large and then populous mission field, extending through Hamakua to Waipio, Waimanu, and Kawaihae, always journeying on foot. Mrs. Lyons' labors were mainly at her house, and largely as a teacher. "Children from many well-known Hawaiian families—laukea, Kamakau, Kalama, Hoapili, John and Isaac Davis, John Parker, and George Beckley were among her pupils. Then came her family school for girls which was kept up until 1879, the mother caring for Hawaiian girls as tenderly as for her own. In 1887 she resumed for a while her work as teacher, gathering into her school of twenty juveniles, children of people who were born after she had come to Waimea.—C. M. Hyde." Mrs. Lyons was always much interested in Natural Science, as we can testify from animated ''iscussions at her home—and to this is vi part unquestionably due the peculiar scientific bent of her sons Prof. Curtis J. Lyons, of the Survey Department, and in charge of Meteorological work; and Doctor Albert B. Lyons, Professor of Chemistry in Oahu College. Her old age became attended by failure of the heart, the immediate cause of death, although she took to her bed only three days before the end, during which there was much suffering from difficulty of breathing, until a season of quiet at the last. The funeral was conducted by the During the time in which he is engaged in this hoommtu mana the kahu [kceper| must not at his peril omit at a single meal the regular prayer addressed to the spirit. At length the kahu feels a strange supernatural power resting upon him, enabling him to see into the mysteries of the spirit world and to do wonderful things impossible to other men. To increase this power to a greater degree, he casts a lock of hair, taken from the deceased, into the burning lake of Kilauea, and it becomes a kino inakani a wind body|. Some of the bones are cast into the sea to become a shark. A finger nail, thrown into a body of fresh water, becomes a moo [lizard], while a bone or two, wrapped in kapn and placed in a recess in the kahn's house, becomes a most sacred object of homtinamann. The kahu is now fully invested with a power most infernal. The shark in the sea, the moo on land, and the kino makani in the air, are his remorselesses agents to pursue, torment and destroy his victims. Should the kahu fail in fulfilling any of the exacting requirements of his position, this power is turned against him with sevenfold fury, to his own confu sion and utter destruction. His fate and that of his family are sealed, and a terrible death soon overtakes them. A far more numerous and varied class of beings whom the kahuna can summon to his aid are the Aumakuas. The important distinction between an unihipili and an numakna is this; the unihipili is created, as it were, by and becomes the slave of a single kahuna, who has the entire responsibility of its feeding and growth. An aumakua, on the contrary, is in general an ancestral god. It may have a host of worshippers, and usually enters into intimate and often pleasant relations with the clan or the class that acknowledges it as one of their gods. Since it is assured ofalways having a number to give it the required hooinanamana, it is not driven to desperation, as is an unihipili, by the neglect of a single worshipper. The fiercest and most universally dreaded of the aumakuas is Kiha wahine [the moo or lizard god], represented as a mermaid —a woman above, with long flowing tresses, and below the waist a moo. The fire goddess, Pele, is preeminently Rev. Mr. Ostrom of Kohala, and the comes mighty. native pastor Rev. John Kalino. The natives gathered from far and near. She was interred by the side of her eminent missionary husband, under the monument erected to his memory by the Hawaiian Sunday Schools. Her two daughters, the Misses Fidelia and Elizabeth Lyons, still abide in the old home, in the loneliness of which many hearts will sympathize with and pray for them. Waimea is held in pleasant remembrance by a multitude of travelers across Hawaii as a place of delightful hospitality, in which Father and Mother Lyons for fifty years took abundant share. Eew of the noble departed band of missionary toilers for the Hawaiian people have ieft behind them more loved and honored memories than these two of holy, simple, consecrated and shining lives. "THE LESSER HAWAIIAN GODS." lI'.ti itn t'ointitertaal Advertiser, April 14, Ixtf ] It gives us pleasure to place before our readers this morning a summary of the lecture delivered by J. S. Emerson, Esq., at the last meeting of the Hawaiian Historical Society. It was prepared at our request, by Mr. Emerson himself and therefore may be depended upon as reliable. The brief limits of a newspaper report, however, cannot do justice to Mr. Emerson's paper, and it is therefore a cause for congratulation that the lecture is to be published in full at an early day, and "placed in the hands of every member of the Historical Society. The subject of Mr. Emerson's lecture was "The Lesser Hawaiian Gods," more especially those who have received the worship and become the patrons of individuals and families, and have entered most intimately into their daily life. These were treated under the two heads, Unihipili and Aumakua. Of all the familiar spirits which a kahuna [sorcerer] summons to execute his wishes, the most dreadful is an unihipili. To secure an alliance with a spirit of this class it is necessary to attend carefully and systematically to a number of most exacting details. After the death of a child or the near relative or intimate friend whose spirit is to be devoted to this service, the bones and hair of the deceased are gathered up into a bundle by the kahuna and secreted in his dwelling-house, where they become the object of his systematic hooinanamana [worship]. This worship rendered to the spirit is not an ascription of power already possessed by the object worshipped, but an imparting to it of power, which but for this worship it would never have. In short, the god does not make the kahuna, but the kahuna often makes his god. Little by little the spirit gains strength and be the fury of the Hawaiian Pantheon. Her usual form is that of an ugly and hateful old hag, with tattered and fire burned garments, scarcely concealing the filth and nakedness of her person. She has a fiendish countenance, a jealous and vindictive temper and delights in cruelty. The younger sister, Hiiaka ika polio Pele, is the especial patron of certain kinds of sorcery and murderous arts. The chief patron, however, of sorcerers is Uli. She was a woman who came from Kahiki and whose great reputation m the black arts led to her being wor shipped after death. �Volume 50, No. 6.] The chief benefactors and devoted friends of man among the aumakuas are the pueo, or owl, and the mono, or shark. The pueo gives its kali us and faithful worshippers timely warning of approaching danger, aids the prisoner in untying the knotted cords with which he is bound, and in making good his escape. The shark is perhaps the most universally worshipped of all the aumakuas. When we reflect on the amphibious character of the Hawaiians and their familiarity with, and exposure to, the dangers of the sea, it is no wonder that they should propitiate certain sharks with whom they may not be on friendly terms. We cannot in this sketch mention the numerous other objects which are worshipped as aumakuas by the Hawaiians. They include a number of fishes and other marine forms of life, also various birds and quadrupeds, among the latter, the hog, dog and rat. Inanimate objects, too, came in for their share of this very general hooinanamana, which often degenerates into a gross form of fetich worship. But in justice to the Hawaiians we must say that thefriedly relations which they maintained with many of their aumakuas were in pleasing contrast with the dread with which the Tahitians regarded the malevolent oromatuas. The great need of the Hawaiians is to have clearly impressed upon their minds the fact of the absolute unity of the Godhead—a fact which they have never sufficiently appreciated, and from which many of them have departed. The teaching of the Hawaiian kahunas is that the decay of the race is the result of the vengeance of their old time offended deities, fearful of being supplanted by the white man's God, who was brought according to their belief, from over the This foreign God water in a book. came into the land as a weakling and a stranger, but by the worship (hoomana mana) paid him, has waxed mighty and destroyed the balance of power in the Hawaiian pantheon.

[From a letter from John Wise of account Oberlin.] 43 THE FRIEND. hala bluffs on either side belong to more recently built up mountain slopes. We obtained the other day for the first Mr. Gulick strongly fortified his theory time, a really good view of these enor- by appealing to the existence of an imThe Waimanu Palis. mous precipices and canyons. We were so fortunate as to leave Kawaihae in the steamer Kinau at 2 p.m. which brought us by half-past four off Pololu gulch, where the great palis begin. We had a splendid run, past the Kohala plantations with their green uplands, stretching from the low red bluffs to the misty, wooded mountain top. At Pololu the coast line bends inward, but Capt. Clark most kindly consented to alter the ship's course a little and run nearer the land. There are about ten miles in length of this wonderful coast line, of the largest sea-cliffs in this group. At Waimanu gulch, the height at the sea is very nearly two thousand feet, and about half that where this formation ends at Waipio on the south-east. At the Pololu gulch on the north it is somewhat less still, but the intermediate precipices and canyons are of colossal grandeur. Sailing under the long lofty precipice between Honokane and Waimanu valleys, we counted at one view ten leaping cascades. Honokane valley though less in depth and breadth than Waimanu, reaches up wonderfully into the mysterious mountain depths, where the old Hawaiian gods used to dwell, in the hid ings of the clouds and the chasms. The whole mountain is thickly clothed in verdure from height to base. No path traverses the dense jungle of the upland. This Kohala mountain forms the northern section of Hawaii. It seems to be composed of an older and higher mountain mass, and of one of much more recent formation running out north-westerly in a long ridge which terminates at Kohala north point. On the N.E. slope of this newer ridge lie the beautiful lands of the Kohala plantations. S.E. of these for ten miles stretch the dark mysterious, wooded chasms of the old mountain, hidden in perpetual cloud, and nearly impenetrable to human feet. We were fortunate in having the company of the Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, who is an intelligent questioner of nature. The reason was warmly debated between us why this enormous precipice should thus intervene between the Kohala and Hamakua bluffs which were of ordinary height, G. maintaining that a fissure of the mountain had broken off the part which had disappeared. The writer as decidedly contended that it was entirely due to marine erosion. That is, the heavy surges driven by the trade winds had eaten away the mountain. The immense height of the cliffs was merely due to the ancient character of the mountain, and the longer period during which the eroding cause had been at work, whereas the Hamakua and North Ko- mense chasm parallel to the shore about four miles inland. This tremendous canyon, by reason of its direction, cannot be the effect of atmospheric erosion. It must have been split open by a convulsion, the like of which must have broken off the parallel coast line. An analogous marine precipice may be traced through South Kona, which cannot possibly be the effect of marine erosion. The lofty precipice of the coast south of Kilauea volcano is manifestly broken off, not eaten away. We were much impressed by our brother Gulick's reasoning. Very probably his is the correct theory. Meantime, we hope many others will view those wonderful palis, and set their minds at work upon their history. Two Years of Progress in Hilo. We had the privilege of being fellow passenger to Hilo with the Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, who was bound thither for a few weeks exchange of pulpits with Rev. E. P. Baker. Our own stay allowed us barely one hour to look around, wherefore we are glad to use our good brother Gulick's eyes in noting matters there, as given in a letter of his to the /'. C. Advertiser. A fine two-story public school building lately finished, with its fine yard and surroundings is an ornament to the town. The principal is Mr. Lord, aided by five lady teachers. There is an especially good training in the "Tonic Sol Fa" system. Mr. G. "never heard native children speak English more perfectly than in this school." Miss H. Coan conducts another excellent school. The Foreign Church have added a pretty Chapel in rear of the main building, containing Sunday School room, parlor, etc. The Portuguese Wednesday Prayer Meeting numbered 53, their Sabbath congregation 100. The Roman Catholics have erected a large school house —we presume in order to save the lambs of their Portuguese flock from heresy in the public school. An abundant supply of pure water is now piped all over town with 200 feet head. We will remaik that it severely reflects on government inefficiency that with the enormous water supply running to waste in Hilo, they have waited until now for this convenience. The same may be said of Wailuku and Lahaina. It must be considerately remembered that our government is composed of mixed native and foreign elements, and that it is therefore necessarily hampered in its efficiency.

[June, 1892 THE OPIUM TRAFFIC. It seems to be true, as charged, that a very gross and injurious frustration ol justice took place lately at Wailuku, in dismissing a clearly made out case of smuggling of opium. It is widely believed, although we are far from asserting it, that there is an extensive conspiracy to prevent detection and punishment of smuggling, for the purpose of helping on a change in the law, which shall legalize the traffic. The objects of so doing are no doubt to create additional revenue from the sale of lictnses, and to create a profitable legal traffic for individuals. The advocates of this measure —and they are many —of course deride the idea of being bound by any moral consideration as to legalizing so destructive and injurious a traffic. But we mayhope that they will consider its very fatal effect upon the Hawaiian people. At the present time, the sale to Hawaiians, as well as to Chinese, is greatly limited by the danger of detection, because the merepossession of the drug is punishable. Under license, this safeguard is removed, and 'no law against sale to Hawaiians or children can possibly be enforced. The smooth and artful Chinese peddlers of opium will pervade every native hamlet with the drug, without check, which now they cannot do. There are some who do not care howsoon the Hawaiians finish their present downward course, and cease to exist. But we trust there are enough left among our legislators who have compassion and friendship for the native people, and will be governed by the desire to save them. Charles F. Gurney.—We desire to join with many in this community in condoling with the family and relatives of this most estimable young man, in his early passing away, while seemingly achieving a degree of success in business life, which was most creditable to Mm, and of great promise for his future. We are most thankful that those who were much dependent upon his exertions, will realize the benefit of his prudence in the avails of an insurance upon his life. Mr. George E. Richardson, late Circuit Judge of Maui, whose death occurred in March, was a public officer of worth whose loss is deeply felt by the community, of whom he was an honored Hawaiian member, as well as by a large circle of estimable kindred. We deeply regret to record the subsequent decease of his widow and of two of his five children, at their home in Wailuku. �Volume 50, No. 6.] An Honored Native Household in Affliction. The very sudden death of Mr. Samuel Mahelona has removed the head of a beloved Hawaiian household. Mr. M. had for some years been a book-keeper with Allen & Robinson, and was a gentleman of the highest character, and a consistent member, with his wife, of Kawaiahao Church. Mrs. Mahelona, prior to their marriage nine years since, had been greatly valued as an assistant teacher in Kawaiahao Female Seminary, as Miss Emma Napoleon. The example of this refined Christian home of their own people has been one of most important service and encouragement to Hawaiians, and makes the death of this young father a public as well as private loss. Pacific Coast Commercial Record, Vol. S, No. 1, May 1892. -This number contains 22 pages, and is entirely devoted to illustrating the Hawaiian Islands. There are eight pictures of scenery all of which are beautifully printed, mostly photogravures. There are four maps, and four pictures of fruit, all excellent. There are also 14 pictures of public and private buildings, many of them with beautiful grounds and foliage. The and statistical of the descriptive portion work is fairly full and accurate, and has certainly been edited with much ability. It is on the whole much the most finely illustrated article upon these Islands that has yet been produced. In quantity, it is equal to seven of the articles on Hawaii in the September number of Rtvitvi of Reviews. Just one half of the present production is occupied with biographies of prominent residents of this Kingdom, gentlemen who have variously contributed towards the labor and expense of the publication. The portraits of about seventy of these gentlemen are handsomely printed. There is no doubt but that this publication will render good service in advertising the Islands. Several thousand copies are being put in circulation. The retail price is twenty-five cents. 45 THE FRIEND. The Kingdom oi Hawaii is the title of a pamphlet containing a lecture by Mr. Theo. H. Davies before the Southport Literary and Philosophical Society, England. Mr. Davies presented these Islands in a very effective, and agreeable manner, accompanying his talk with nearly ninety screen pictures. As a sample of humorous embellishment, we copy the following: "The new king welcomed the missionaries, and the question arose, ' Were the new teachers to be allowed to remain and publish their doctrines?' A grave difficulty arose at the outset, and the king explained it to his domestic circle much as follows: 'My dears, shall these men stay? because they say that if they do I must have only one wife, and four of you must go.' The senior queen, Kamamalu, immediately responded 'Let them stay, and you four can go,' which they accordingly did." 20,000 Australians Coming! They are coming on their way to the Columbian Exposition next year. That is, if boats and fares are made all right. It is thought that the Canadian Pacific Railway people are going to do great things in that way. A powerful line of "grey hounds" is talked of—it is said some of them are building. They are to be titted up solely for passengers, to carry six or eight hundred each, and push through from Sydney to Vancouver in eighteen days. Now- Honolulu proposes somehow to tap this stream of tourists, and induce a portion of them to take a good look at Hawaii nei, and leave a little money here. Of course to do this supposes considerable activity and efficient work to be expended. The opening of the harbor bar must be completed, or the big ships will not call here. The Volcano roads both ways must be finished and put in good order, or the tourists will not largely go there. Hotel and coasting steamers must be put in prime order, and lastly, there must be a heap of advertising, because most of the Australians do not know or care where Hawaii A Lecture on These Islands was is, and never heard of our volcano.

A New Survey of a Cable Route. The U. S.

The new route is considered to be a better one than the more northern one adopted by ihtAlbatross, the changes in depth being less abrupt. This work of the Thetis is welcome as fresh evidence of an earnest disposition on the part of the United States to lay a cable to our shores at an early date. RECORD OF EVENTS.

Our Japanese Sabbath School has been greatly favored by tin- help of I) r Mori who meets with us as often as his professional duties will allow. We have thirty-five members enrolled with an average attendance of fifteen. I'hc work is promising. [From a letter from the Rev. Alvin Ostrom, who, besides his regular work as pastor of the Kohala Foreign Church, looks alter the Japanese and Portuguese of his district and also helps forward the Chinese work. It is a little over four months since I came here, and I suppose you will know that I have not done much in so short a time; also you will understand how difficult the work is at first. I believe that the God will surely help him who is trying to work righteousness. Hut I am only an unworthy hoy and you will pray for nie. At present I have four meeting places with fifty friends. I am giving them Christian instruction and teaching them English most every night. The meeting places are at llonokaa Mill, in the village, at the Overend place, and at Paauhau. They all seem very kind to me in every way. They are all laborers working hard every day, and I have thought it was needful to give them innocent amusement that would please their weary souls and bodies, lam trying to find out what is hest. There are over 2,000 Japanese in this district, and I tell you now I am just trying to make some yeast for to rise up this people. I have always good health and am happy in every way. [From the Report of S. Mmipishi stationed at Honokaa, and supported by the Hawaiian Board. 1 In reporting this church here at Hilo, I would say, during the last three months there has been no remarkable event in it. Since Mr. Okabe left for Japan we have had some anxiety about the church, lest its members should fail. But thanks he to God who can save to the uttermost, we are all going steadily toward the gate of Heaven. Moreover he gave us new brethren who came to this country lately. Of course they are all believers in Buddhism, and have never heard about Christianity. singing one hour before prayer. Wish become improved and more skillful than before. About live weeks ago I opened tin mght school at Onomea plantation about five miles from Hilo. The plantation contains about 200 Japanese. At fust some fifty or sixty came to hear nic, and next time the audience was over forty. 'They told me tiny would build a small barn themselves for a meeting place. 'This is the most hopeful place and is in good order. The Papaikou night school is in good order too, but the average attendance is not as main only fifteen. 'The other night schools are it Waiakea and WainapU mils about six or seven attend. There aie about fifteen who wish to be baptized. [From the Report of K. Hoshina stationed at Hilo, antl supported by the Hawaiian Hoard, j us The average present attendance is forty. The number has increased since last June about one half. The number received by letters from foreign countries is five, removals eleven, baptised six teen, probationers On the first of twenty. January 1892 we re- moved from the Lyceum to the Queen The number of Japanese in Honolulu is unknown, but those who have joined the temperance society are Emma Hall. about one hundred. We hold meetings at the Oahu Jail and at two boarding houses, besides the regular meetings at Emma Hall. In January Mr. Koburagi left Ewa and I went there to preach every Tuesday night. Since the first of April Mr, K. Sato has taken charge at Ewa. The number of laborers is about three hundred and fifty. There are many thousands of Japanese on the Island of Kauai and about forty christians, but no preacher since Mr. Murakani left for Japan. [Prom the Report of Mr. T. Sunamoto of Honolulu and supported by the Hawaiian Hoard.] The work is going on as steadily as before and growing day by day. In Paia the attendants on Sunday average about forty, of which nineteen are hapti/ed. At Grove Ranch the average is fifteen, none baptized yet. At Hamakuapoko it is about thirty, of which ten are baptized. Since the begining of the year fourbeen baptised and four have gone hick to Japan and joined the church there. Mr. Baldwin j;ave us a house at Hamakuapoko. The class for women (at as we expected, but Paia) does not we have some future hope of it. The money contributions this year amounted to sixty eight dollars, fifty-eight were used for benevolent works. [From the Report of J. Hi rota ofPaia, Maui; this brother is supported hy the I'.ii.t Foreign Church.| teen have A CASE IN HAND. In the first week of June 1890, 1). K. Kahuakai, one of Rev. Jas. Hicknell's workers went to Hookena, South Kona, Hawaii, on a visit. While there his eyes were opened and his heart was moved in view of the needs of the people of that region, and especially toward those of the district of Kalahiki. They did not come to church. They were out of sympathy with the pastor, and they had no religious instruction. They were npt even possessed of bibles. Mr. Kahuakai visited them, held meetings with them and ordered for them an invoice of New Testaments and Hymn books. 'This work continued under the guidance of brother Kahuakai, assisted later by his son in law Mr. T. K. R. Amain, for nearly three months. As an outcome of this work a meeting house has been built at Kalahiki, and a leader has been found in the ex-Judge T. W. P. Kaeo, who is now a blind man, but scholarly and gifted, and by the guidance of our good brother Kahuakai, he is now a devout praying man. An instance is noted of the reclaiming of one for a time from the power of superstition. A woman could not eat of a certain kind of moss, the Lipeepee, because it was her aumakua. Hut on a certain occasion this woman and her family, having been labored with, were brought to a table where this moss was one of the dishes, and after the asking of a blessing was prevailed upon to partake of it; which she did without harm and continued to he an eater of the moss, pronouncing it rich and wholesome. And now comes back the report that the woman has lately goi.e back to her superstitious fear of her aumakua limu after nearly a year's immunity. It seems that during a sickness she was visited by a kahuna, who declared the cause of her sickness to be her eating of the tabooed limu. Hut that work remains which was so kindly and so hopefully begun. r£x-Judge Kaeo is still leading it, and the little chapel is seen across the bay from Hookena. �48 — PROGRAM EvangHelaicAwsoint,5Jue -12,1892.
