Sometimes he overdoes the business, and has to By before the wrath of the outraged people whom he has held in terror. This is very rare; their fear of his demon masters their anger. NuMItKK 7. The diabolical malignity shown by Pulolo has an irrational look; but it was merely an unusual form of exercising the fiendish malice habitual to the regular kahuna auaaiui. The difference is that as a rule the)- are secretive in thnir murderous proceedings, while her murdering took a violent and brutal form. The system of terrorism upon those around is alike in both cases. The community, by fear of the deadly demon at the sorcerer's seivice, are driven to become abettors and participants in the murders committed. There is good reason to believe that such murders constitute no small percentage of the causes of death that are swilling the immense mortality among Hawaiians. A Significant Fact is that Pulolo learned her trade of sorceress during a residence of some years in this city. Under the fostering patronage of Royalty for a little more than thirty yens, Honolulu has grown to be a headquarters of superstition, and chief seminary of sorcery. This began when Prince Lot's agent K.tpu issued printed licenses to about SOO kahunas or native doctors, with schedules of fees ranging up to fifty dollars. These kahunas rarely knew much of real remedies. Their chief stock in trade was the superstitious fears of the people, who would hire their incantations to propitiate or exorcise the evil demons that made them ill. In order to educate and develop those fears, they immediately formed private classes in idolatry and sorcery throughout the kingdom. Since than this culture of diabolism has gone steadily on. Fresh accessions of force were largely made to it during the late reign. It has become true that now there are comparatively few Hawaiians, however well educated, who do not believe in the supernatural powers ol the med'cine men and of the sorcerers, as well as in the real existence and powers of the Aumakitas and of the multitude of lesser gods or demons. Upto 1860, the ascendancy of Christianity had kept the smouldering ancient superstition repressed and inactive. It has again become rampant. The Lanai Horror is only an open outbreak of the malignant diabolism that is terrorizing and poisoning Hawaiian homes on every street in this city. There are now very few native households, whose heads in any case of sick- �50 ness would dare refuse to call in the kahuna or to obey all his orders. It is most painful to say that some of our native pastors do this.. We rejoice to testify that most of these good men are brave and loyal in their resistance to the satanic practice, even while in some believing in the existence and cas All of our native po\ -s of the demons. pas,, s find themselves hard pressed be ween their sense of duty and the tci.ors of their deacons and church members, as well as the fears of their wives, if not their own, lest the evil gods destroy them and their children. This ahuna domination paralyzes the efforts of our skilled physicians to heal the people. The government employs [physicians at gieat expense, but most of the people are prevented from obeying their prescriptions by the orders of the exorcisers, to whose violent and destructive treatment they timidly submit. Hence the great monthly death reports of Hawaiians, with causes of death very commonly unreported. Hence also the numerous petitions to the Legislature to create a Hawaiian Board of Health, that is, to employ a body of kahunas to minister to the sick at public expense. Kalakauadid actually cieate such a Board of Kahunas, through his Legislature ol 1886. This was one ol several facts, like the Aki opium bribe, which made necessary the Constitution of IMB7, depriving theKing of his control of the legislature. Another and most poisonous effect is in antagonizing the Hawaiians to civilized ideas and enlightened guidance. The Kahuna is the deadly enemy ol Christian civilization, lie and enlightenment are sworn foes, and he does his utmost to create aversion and jealousy towards the haole and particularly the "missionary." He organizes and consolidates the heathen party. Still more, all the ethics and logic of Kahunaiim are stupefying and paral) /nig to enlight ened action of the mind. The niinils of those poor Awalua wretches were stifling in the horrible fog and stench of Pulolo's teaching, So is every mind that inhales the noisome atmosphere of Kahuna superstition. They cannot think reasonably nor entertain sound opinions. A Sad evidence of the extent to which the Hawaiian intellect has become befogged and befouled by kahuna domin ation, is seen in the heathenish character of the majority of the petitions from natives daily presented at this session of the Legislature. Probably one half of these petitions call for partially or wholly doing away with the segregation of the Lepers. Half of the rest of the ("July. 1892. THE FRIEND. petitions are to stop vaccination, to (lis miss the Board of Health, and to create a Kahuna Board of Health. This perversion of the native mind creates a gloomy outlook for the usefulness of Hawaiian! as participants in the government of the country. We cannot be governed by Pulolos, nor by people of any of that turn of mind. We are strongly hopeful that this kahuna domination is soon to wane. The Pulolo outbreak may open the eyes of the people. Earnest and successful effort is being made by some nativepastors, and by Mr. Bicknell especially, to win the people from superstition. Higher education will help much. But our only reliable dependance is in the spiritual power of the living Savior brought in contact with these suffering and terrorized souls, and uplifting them into the higher life of the spirit. As the piety and spiritual power of Christian Hawaiian! is invigorated, each one will become a kindling light, before which all Puloloism will be dispelled. Mr. John E.

At the same time he released Y. Y. Ashford and several others. He so disi riniinated because Ashford and the others vy-re not present at the met ling of May 18th, when treasonable language was uttered. Since then Ashford has left the country, being liable to further arrest for conspiracy. It is not probable that any native jury will convict Wilcox, and he will likely not be brought to trial. In any case he is not very likely to make further attempts to disturb the peace. Since writing the above Wilcox has been released and taken his seat in the Legislature.

The large arched windows are undoubtedly of the most approved and acceptable styles of stained glazing. The great audience room is as yet chaotic.

An uncomfortable state of things has now terminated. For some nine months past rumors have constantly prevailed of plots by Wilcox and associates to Although overturn the government. that party was known to be weak, and there could be little doubt of the failure of such an attempt, the public was kept in a state of uneasiness. This is now at an end, and there is no further apprehension from that source. The actual weakness of the movement was so clearly exposed on the examination of the conspirators that some have called the whole business a farce, and have blamed the government for taking the matter seriously and making a commotion byarresting the conspirators. There is no doubt, however, but that this action has been wholesome in removing from the public mind an incubus which had grown painful by long pressure. It is also certainly true that the schemes yf Ashford and Wilcox contained possibilities which, under the weakness of the government, might have developed into serious mischief had they not been timely arrested. We are now once more living in peace and quiet, and have only to consider how we are going to get a comfortable living, with our sugar business more than half killed by the Mc- On Monday evening, June 13th, at Kawaiahao Church were ordained by the Oahu Association three students of the North Pacific Mssi- nary Institute, Messrs.

It was less than two months that these men had to offer their services, receive thtir appointments, pay last visits to their friends, and prepare their outfits for the foreign field. Letters received by the Star April 10th so stirred the students of the Institute that everyone volunteered to go, and every one of their wives also. These three were selected for the work. The prayer meetings at the Institute in the evening and morning before their departure were of thri'ling interest. One of these missionary couples takes a young child.

The present business stringency from the cause named is unquestionably of a transient nature. We have been enjoying an artificial prosperity. Meantime there has been a great development of the country, and its great natural resourres have been demonstrated. There undoubtedly awaits us, in the very near future, an immense development of commerce iri the North Pacific, consequent upon the opening of the Nicaragua Canal, which cannot be long delayed. Not very far distant also, in the natural course of events, must be Political Union in some form with the United States. The good effects of this event upon our well being do not appear to ourselves so clear as they do to many. The methods of such a union should be most cautiously guarded. The ultimate consummation, however, is a foregone conclusion, but one that we should not be in undue haste to realize. 53 THE FRIEND. Dr. Parkhurst treats with a fine scorn those people who deprecated his personal visits to the haunts of vice. "Christ not only put Heaven away behind him, but he came into the very closest touch that was possible to him with Ihe grossest depravity that was on earth. I can imagine some of the angels, not in the redemption bus ness, loafing along the celestial courts as the son of Cod laid aside his glory and moved down to Bethelhem in Advent, arching their celestial brows and expostulating with him and rebuking him for venturing into the contacts of a world over which the Serpent rjad so long drngged his scaly coils, and suggesting to him to dispatch a second or third class angel down to this disgusting and sin-reeking world with instructions to send b*ck an affidavit of what he f, mnd down here. All that I mean by that, young men, is this: If you want to be a means of saving the world, jnst understand that you cannot do it at arm's length." The Legislature at this session has been characterized by an unusually close attention to important business, and a minimum of needless jangling and bunkum speechifying. This serious financial condition of the country seems to have had its due effect in uniting men of all parties in seeking measures of relief, laying aside The Democratic and Republican nominations for the Presidency have been received, Ex President Cleveland against President Harrison.

Kamehameha School Exercises. < Public exhibition of the work f the six 1 f this school was given May 27th in the different school rooms. Excellent work was shown in the usual English studies. Specialties shown were a large variety of samples of free hand and mechanical drawing by the pupils, ol fine quality. Many beautiful specimens of Cabinet and inlaid work were exhibited by the pupils of Mr. A. Thompson. To our eyes, many i I these were equal in finish to the handiwork (if the best mechanic!. A large line of samples of blacksmiths and machinists wi rk was also shown. It is evident that a large number of Kamehameha pupils are being qualified to earn at once large wages as skilled workers, together with all the physical and mental superiority which are Required therewith. The Preparatory Department was exhibited on the morning of the 28th. In the evening, an invited company of the patrons and friends gathered in the noble Bishop Hall, to listen to a Rhetorical and Musical exhibition of the scholars. This was of a high ( rder.

The Morning Star sailed for Micronesia June 18th with a large number of people on board—two American mis sionaries, three Hawaiian Missionaries and their wives and eight passengers. seven of whom are returning Gilbert Island laborers. The Star is to touch first at Butaritari and leave the Hawaiians and Gilbert Islanders, and then go onto Kusaie and leave Miss Palmer to be associated with Miss Hoppin in the Girl's School there, and then go on to Ruk, by way of Ngatic and Ponape, and leave Miss Abell with Miss Kinney of the Ruk Girl's School. The Hawaiian Brethen of the Gilbert mission are to have a general meeting this year. The location of the new missionaries is left to them to be settled by the missionaries on the ground in consultation. It is not known when Mr. VValkup is to return. Indeed the fact of his return is supposed to depend on his getting a boat for touring through the Gilbert field. The Star will be due in Honolulu May 23, 1893. The Rev. Jiro Okabe is with us again after an absence of five months in his father-land. During his stay abroad he had the good fortune to meet many of the Christian workers both Japanese and foreign. He preached in many different pulpits and attended the general meeting of the congregational churches" which was held in Osaka. He was introduced as the preacher from Hawaii, and took occas on to make the country of his birth acquainted with that of his adoption. He met the Gulick brothers and was informed that Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Gulick intend to visit the Islands in the fall. Mr. Okabe was happy in finding all the members of his family well and prospering. They are all Christians. One of the brothers is a graduate of the L)o-shisha Theological Seminary, and isabout to take an influential pastorate. By the kindness of his Excellency Hon. R. W. Irwin of the Hawaiian Legation at Tokio, who is our Minister Resident in Japan, Mr. Okabe was enabled to bring with him an associate worker, a Mr. K. Oku, who was favorably heard last Sabbath by the Japanese congregation in this city. Mr. Oku has been 18 years a pastor in Japan. We have now six men connected with our Japanese mission, not enough for the holding of every point, but a band numerous and strong enough we believe for theconductof a very general work ofevangelization among our 21,000 Japanese. 55 The lati; meeting of the Hawaiian conscience towards the evils of the day, Evangelical Assocation. which was held and particularly toward that colossal evil June 7- IS, was r.-maikable in nothing of a superstitious feeling that dallies so much as in the Way it received and with fetishism and spirit-worship.

These facts gve us courage and hope. We regard our brethren in the Hawaiian pastorate as the ones we are to look to for the final overthrow of these evils, and we think the time has come for us to advise that the Island associations see to it that fitting men are chosen to undertake betimes such general evangelistic and reform work as may seem best. Revivals and Rev. B. Fay Mills. RByev.DW r. olfenden. There is a class of lukewarm religionists to whom the very name of a revival is distasteful because they like a comfol table easy going kind of religion, Very manifestly however the Bible does not la vor that kind of religion which is neither cold nor hot, but on the other hand countenances all such religious movements as are likely to give an impetus to the cause of God, and intensify religious feeling. There can indeed be no true Bible religion without revival. It begins with revival and is maintained by the continual vivifying operation of the Spirit of (rod who first begets the new life in the soul. There may be reformation without revival and with those who object to revivals we generally find that the form which the matter takes in their minds is "Reformation versus Revival." But reformation is not bible religion, only revival can claim tube such. Revivals are no new things. They are as old as religion. There was a time in the world's infancy when it had already grown old in sin, in which it is recorded that there was a turning oil men to God —"men began to call on the name of the Lord." This was an ancient revival of religion. That too was a revival which took place under the ministry of Elijah when the great part of Israel had fallen into idolatry. He/ekiah too was ■ revivalist who fanned the smouldering embers of religion into a flame during the latter days of Judah, and all the prophets nearly were just revivalists. Isaiah was a man of the Wesley, Whitfield, Spurgeonic, Moody and Fay Mills Stamp. \\*hnt was it again but a revival that brought people in crowds to hear the Baptist and even Christ himself, and then Peter at pentecost began a series of revivals which continue to this day. Such seasons of special revival seem to bear the same relation to the ordinary work of God that comets bear to the steady shining of the stars—only that as regards the religious comets—the revivals, we can see the good of them much more. A season of revival too bears oftentimes that relation to the ordinary work, which reaping time bears to the rest of the year, during which the process of tilling and sowing is carefully carried on. Of course we shall be un- derstood in these remarks as indicating a real spiritual quickening and not a passing sensationalism or fitful excitement, dependant upon questionable methods of activity. The Rev. B. Pay Mills whom many here are anxious to secure for this special work uses no revivalistic galvanism but adopts and uses simply methods of work consecrated by the use and wont of centuries. He is a young man who does not glory in eccentricities or intellectual attainments but who nevertheless speaks from a full heart and well stocked mind with a simplicity, directness and tend erness the pure gospe.l so as to arrest and hold the closest attention of both the cultured and ignorant. Every one is impressed with his transparent sincerity, thorough going realism and deep love for souls. In every place he has visited, the neighborhood has been speedily charged with influences which flowed from the Holy Spirit's presence. Immediately there has come a marvellous unanimity for prayer and service to the people. Christ of course is the substance of his message, the motive of his service and the charm of his utterances. There is also in Mr. Greenwood's sing ing (his fellow laborer) a modest simplicity, expressiveness, pathos and power that sends the truth home to many hearts. Should they visit the islands lasting benefit is sure to follow in large measure Government Expenditures increased during the last biennial period 26 per cent, or $4,095,894.44, against $3,250,510.38.

Commencement Exercises. The Class of '92 were greeted on the evening of Thursday, June 23d, by an audience which crowded the aisles and overflowed the vestibule of Central Union Church, which was packed to its utmost capacity before the hour of 7:30 arrived. The Queen and Court were present. The floral decorations were of rare delicacy and beauty. On the choir rail was a long bank of roses, shaded from dark red to white, and from white to yellow, ending in rich orange plumarias. On the front of the organ rested a lovely shield of flowers, over it the class motto, " Xon pro nobis"— Not for ourselves. Delicate lace-like drapings of cape jessamine were trained above and around. Over one end of the stage was a plume-like mass of "golden shower"; at the other a large and delicate spray of lilies and foliage. Mrs. S. M. Damon had direction of the decorations, aided by Mesdames H. Waterhouse, S. C. Allen, and C. A. Brown ; also by Mr. Bowick and the members of the Junior Class. The Trustees sat at the left front of the platform and teachers at the right, the graduating class in the center, and the numerous pupils of the College on rear of the stage and in the'choir.

Dr. Hyde betokened a father's tender and solicitous regard for the young lives now blossoming out. The first essay was pronounced with clear and manly delivery by Ivrnest E. Lyman, whose musical culture lent fine tones to his voice. The contrast in conduct and results of a purposeful and a purposeless life was impressively illustrated, as by one whose own purpose was established and strong, and who spoke from hearty experience. Young Chamberlain's address on "Capital the Friend of Labor,'' was thoughtful, and the relations of the two were set forth in an interesting manner. The mutual dependence of each was shown, with especial reference to their conditions in Hawaii nc-i. "The Lord is My Shepherd" was sung by the Girls' Glee Club with feeling and taste. John Waterhouse followed with a very lively discussion of the advantages of Cremation, which was perhaps the first advocacy of that practice ever heard publicly in Honolulu. He presented its sanitary advantages over interment in a very" telling manner. John ought to make a good talker and writer. The next address was by a bright young Hawaiian whose features betoken Chinese blood, James N. K. Keola, on "Education in Hawaii." His delivery had much of the facile Hawaiian ease and animation, though still slightlylacking a perfect English enunciation, which he will gain in due time. His sketch of the growth and progress of the good work done here was correct and impressive. His statement of the obstacles and struggles which beset the Hawaiians' road to education were evidently from his own observation and experience. The audience greatly enjoyed the fine selection from Haydn's Creation, "The Heavens are Telling," which was well rendered by a selected chorus of the scholars, aided by Miss Dale's inspiring leading, and by Mrs. Judd on the organ and Miss Wing on the piano, each in harmony and sympathy all through. S. Edward Damon followed with an address on " The English Speaking Peoples," passing in rapid review the glory and mighty sway of the mother isle —the imperial growth, and developed English freedom of America, and the independence of Australia, vigorous while a high destiny was anticipated for Canada. England's unequalled and benificent empire over India's two hundred millions was noticed. The highest interests and hopes of mankind arc bound up with this foremost race, whose states will in the future be confederated. In this great English family Hawaii is to bear an honorable part. A grand theme and forcibly treated. " The Place for Amusement " was the next topic, treated by Charles K. Hyde, who earnestly advocated out door sports for the benefit of miid and body, and gave us a good and sensible talk on the subject. We heartily second his plea for an organized gymnasium at Punahou with a trained instructor. The following song was then sung with enthusiasm by the College Glee Club, Mr. Woods leading: MEMORIES OF PUNAHOU. Glad College hours of richesf meed. Replete with joy, how swift ye speed! Bright College days of zest and cheer, That make the rounded, golden year, Though quickly flown, your blessings stay To gladden us through all our way. Our lives the ripened fruit will grow Which budded lirst at Punahou. Though change occur on every hand, Though sundered far by sea and land. Nought can our early blessings mar. The chain of friendship reaches far, United by a common tie Of mem'ries dear that will not die. Lor time will only serve to show The wealth we gained at Punahou. Oh, days of promise, rich and rare ! The bull and blue we proudly bear. The world before us grandly lies, As forth from summer scenes and skies Our pathways lead through many a land Where we may prove life's meaning grand. And ever onward as we go Reflect the light of Punahou. There was a hearty ring on the name Punahou. The words of the song are by Mr. P. S. Dodge, and the music by Miss Dale. The last regular address was a semipolitical one by Albert F. Judd, Jr., although the name he bore doubtless limited him as to fully stating some well known facts in the history of recent constitutional changes. With this exception the progress of Constitutional Development in Hawaii" was clearly and forcibly stated, with a manifest appreciation of the marvellous progress made, and a patriotic love of free and enlightened government. A graceful young lady next advanced and read pleasant tones a eulogistic essay on the noble '• Dom Pedro of Brazil," to whose race Miss Julia Perry belongs, her father having formerly been Consul for Portugal. Leaving her essay, the fair speaker then addressed most suitable and touching farewell words successively to trustees, teachers, fellow-students, and classmates. The presentation of diplomas followed, President Hosmer addressing his departing students with manifest sympathy and affegtion, as he wished them the best blessings apon their now widening and opening live>. An unusually strong affection has grown up between Mr. Hosmer and the members of this class, and was manifest in the words both of the President and of the valedictorian, The farewell words were tenderly echoed by sweet low tones singing "God be with you till we meet again,"' dying faintly away as if waning in a far distance, and deeply touching many sympathizing hearts then present. After the benediction the many patrons and friends thronged the stage with hearty congratulations, feeling that the occasion had been one of rare success and of delight to all concerned with the College. The exercises were un- " �THE FRIEND. usually well arranged and well executed. The speeches were short and spirited. They were varied in matter, neatly illustrated, and well " boiled down," so as to have no tediousness. The directing hand was evidently a skilled one. Thechoice of topics evidenced thoughtful habits in the speakers, and thought directed to solid and practical subjects, indicating serious work in the classes, and a love of noble and worthy studies. These are evidently young men beginning with a clear, practical, and generous outlook on life, its duties, and its call to high and noble work for mankind. As we began our story of this Commencement with the floral decorations we must not fail at the end to mention the masses of bouquets that were passed in over the heads of the audience in the crowded aisles, and laid before each of the speakers, one of whom had twentysix and another twenty-eight. Many of these flowers were rich and costly, such as carnations and violets. Berger's Royal Band in the gallerylent their inspiring strains at the opening and at the close. An honorable tribute is due to the able corps of teachers at Punahou, but especially to Mr. Hosmer, whose capable incumbency at the head of Oahu College has given unalloyed satisfaction to all patrons and friends of that institution, and who has won the hearts of the students. Prof. James D. dana of yale University writes to us "I should greatly enjoy another trip with you to the Crater.

Undoubtedly there are several sentiments wh eh conspire to kindle and sustain the ardent devotion to Gospel work which is necessary for effective service in missionary labor for the tmevangelized. There is warm hearted philanthrophy longing to relieve their miseries and to elevate them into the happiness which the prevalence of Christianity produces. There is zeal for the truth, longing to have those in error brought into the white light of Christianity. Tnere is a profound sense of the eternal ruin of the souls that do not find life in union with God, kindling an absorbing eagerness to save as many as possible of these dying ones, and lead them into life and immortality through the Lord Jesus. There is a great enthusiasm for the kingdom of Christ whose beneficent reign is soon to prevail in all lands, and which we desire to promote and hasten, for the relief of all human miseries, and the deliverance of all the captives of sin and Satan; of all the oppressed and all the degraded. We are eager to hasten the day when all men shall live in loving brotherho. il under their loving Brother and King Bat cln I, supreme, mightiest, most kindling, most unfailing of all motives to 57 The Friend. We do all these tl ings, we seek all these other things for His sake. They were dear -they are now dear to His heart, and therefore for His dear sake, in sympathy with Him, to fulfil all His desire, we are eager to gain all these noble ends. He being ihe renter and Sun of his follower's love and trust, their hearts enkindle with all the glowing luve and hope and /.eal that kindled bis soul, and they strive to bring all souls to know and trust and worship Hits, whom they adore as Savior and Lord. The one greatest need then of all Christian hearts in order to fulfil Christ's command to teach all nation*, is themselves t > come into a closer personal love and fellowship with their Master. Inspired by His indwelling love, their activities will spontaneously reach forth in every direction that His own energy reaches forth; and filled with his own spirit, they will have resistless and prevailing power to reach and turn the souls of mankind to Him. The day is coming when the whole church will move under this one effectual sentiment, and so be nerved to victory. Rev. Thomas L. Gulick arrived on the 27th, to occupy Central Union pulpit during Dr. Heckwith's vacation. Dr. and Mrs. Beckwith are spending their vacation on Last Maui. Mr. and Mrs. Gulick reached the city in time to greet his brother Orramel on landing. They had previously met once, in Spain, during a separation of thirty years. Messrs, B. F. Mills and Creenwood began Kvangelistic meetings in Oakland, July 6th, in the Tabemcle constructed for the purpose. As a result of the late powerful rev.val nf religion at Los Angeles, the Police Commissioners have been persuaded to attempt the closing of the 200 houses of ill fame in that city. It is estimated that to recruit these dens, over 100 girls are led astray every year, mostly at dance-halls and merry go-rounds where pimps and proslitutes mingle freely with heedless youths.

It was the unique privilege of the fathers and mothers of many of us to be present at the birth of a nation, to assist in the throes of delivery that brought into the dawn of christian civilisation that fragment of the Polynesian race that peoples this group of the North Pacific. It devolved upon them to swathe the tender limbs of the newhorn, to counsel as to the nutriment suited to its earliest needs, to direct ita first tottering footsteps, to give it the alphabet of learning, to initiate for it such intellectual, moral and religious tuition as becomes a candidate for admission into the fraternity of nations. It was a task beset with difficulties, imposing large responsibilities, and demanding great earnestness, devotion and practical wisdom. Tin degree in which these were possessed may in a measure be gauged by the success attained. To say that they made mistakes is only to say that they were human, fallible. It has often been laid to the charge of the missionary fathers, that in their christian surveillance and tuition of the infant race they were possessed of too austere a spirit, that they laid too heavy a hand upon and checked with too ascetic a curb, the sports and pastimes native to the soil and the race, and thus inflicted a grievous wrong upon these gladsome, liberty-loving children of nature. The charge has so often been reiterated, that the missionary took from the Hawaiian his pastimes and gave him no adequate substitutes, that with many this has come to be an accepted fact; and although this accusation has been met with frequent disclaimer and refutation, it has seemed to me there yet remains something to he said on the subject, and that it would not be unprofitable for us to spend a few minutes in an inquiry as to the causes which produced that abandonment of the practice of many of their national sports which has certainly marker! the late history of the Hawaiian people. Many of -the Hawaiian games, as is well known, were noble sports, worthy of perpetuation, well fitted to develope and invigorate the frame and to impart and maintain a virile courage and endurance that should be cultivated in every race. Such was that game in which the �58 tnaika was bowled over its level course; such was that exciting and dangerous sport, in which the players slid down hill over a prepared course on the papa holua, while the multitude stood by to applaud and congratulate the victor; such also were the kukini, or running of foot races, the pahee, Of glancing of heavy darts along a special roadway, the heenalu, or surf riding, and many others. What reasonable account can we give as to the causes of their disappearance? The first fact, I would remark, as brought to light by investigation, is that there was undoubtedly a declining interest in these games before the missionary entered on the scene. The tide of national life, the spirit of tribal, or chiefis.h emulation, had been largely diverted from these peaceful channels, and had found its outlet in the more absorbing and delirious excitements of war. Inter anna silent leges, says an old Latin proverb; but it is equally true that in times of war the ordinary occupations and gladsome pastimes which invite communities to meet in friendly contests lose their zest and fascination and are interrupted. The fierce passions begotten by the wai-spirit crave a stronger stimulus than sliding down hill, or bowling a polished disc along a roadway. The eighteenth was a century of war and of disturbed political relations in Hawaii nei, even before Kamehameha entered upon that career of conquest which finally made him sovereign of the group. To ([note from Mr. Pomander: "It was an era of strife, dynastic ambitions, internal and external wars on each island, with all their deteriorating consequences, of anarchy, depopulation, social and intellectual degradation, loss of knowledge, loss of liberty, loss of arts." ("The Polynesian Race," by A. Fornander, Vol. 11. p. 05.) The wars of the ancient Hawaiians were not defensive wars, to protect the nation, if so these channel separated islanders might be called, against a foreign invader, the common enemy of all; nor were they wars of conquest against neighboring, but alien, powers; nor did there enter into the motive of them that gallant spirit of knight-errantry which in the middle ages moved the hosts of western Europe to battle for the sepulchre of our Lord. Without doing injustice to the noble qualities of the ancient Hawaiians, which often made of them magnanimous foes, the wars of which I have spoken may be truthfully characterized as wars of dynastic or territorial ambition and of re prisal, internecine in character, cruelly regardless of life and fearfully destructive of property -inevitable, no doubt, under the then existing political and social conditions—to be regarded as a necessary phase in the growth and development of the whole into a unity and fitness for higher things. THE FRIEND. Take, for instance, the wars of con quest and ambition waged by Kalaniopuu of Hawaii against Kahekili of Maui, and later that of Kahekili himself against his own kinsman, Kabahana, the young king of Oahu, wars of bitter, unprovoked, profitless devastation. The immediate victims of open battle were at times so numerous as to dam the course of a mountain stream. Such was the case at the battle on Maui called Kapaniwai. The less fortunate prisoners captured alive were often killed without mercy. At the gallant charge made by the famous Alapa regiment, composed of eight hundred of Kalaniopuu's young chiefs in the prime of manhood, at the outset of his determined and ruthless invasion of Kahekili's Maui kingdom, onlytwo nun escaped alive to tell the story of the terrible slaughter. Other battles were equally bloody. Again the annual four months' festival of the Makahiki was a most important factor in keeping alive and preserving fresh and green the interest and practice of Hawaii's ancient games. Its influence over their perpetuation may be fairly likened to that of the Olympic, Pythian, Nemean or Isthmian assemblies, at which champions from the rival states of ancient Greece met, with truce of arms, in friendly contests with each other. These great events acted as a spur to the ambition of even- athlete and contestant in the village games throughout Greece, and when the assemblies at Klis, at Delphi, at the Corinthian isthmus and elsewhere, went into decay and died, the local and popular sports of all Greece at once felt the withdrawal of a most precious stimulus and they lan- guished accordingly. The last celebration of the Mahahiki festival was in the year 1819, the year in which the great Kamehameha died. Following close upon this last important event came the formal abolition of the knpu system, the effect of which was to unsettle everything. As has been well said, it was as when the keystone of an arch is removed. The whole structure of society, along with idol-worship and the tabus fell at once into ruins. It is hardly necessary to say that the institutions of the ancient Hawaiians were all rooted in a common soil of superstition; religion, tabus, politics, festivals, games, social customs, morals, the roots of them all were so inextricably interwoven in one mass, that to separate and pluck out one root from this tangle without tearing the others, was a task apparently beyond the power of any statesman or reformer to accomplish. From this point of view we are perhaps able in a measure to sympathize with the reforming zeal of the pious Kaahumanu, who a few years later at the Hale o Kcn.vc in South Kona, consigned to the flames at one fell swoop a vast collection of relics and antiquities. August,1892. She doubtless reasoned, and truly, that the new wine of christian civilization must not be entrusted to the old bottles of heathenism. 'The revolutionary effects of the abolition of the tabus upon social conditions in Hawaii can hardly be overestimated. 'This unnatural and inhuman system, begotten of king-craft and priestcraft had so long plagued and tortured the people, it stood so prominently forth as the chief offense, and at the same time was so clearly recognizable as the key of the situation, that when the time was ripe for the blow to be struck, the clear sighted judgment of the general in command -a woman—was not at fault when it selected the tabus as the point of attack. 'The study of that interesting and curious institution, the festival of the Makahiki, the celebration of which began each year on the third day, Kukahi, of the Hawaiian lunar month Ikuiva, corresponding to October, and continued till sometime in January, Kaelo, brings clearly into view the fact that through all the observances of that season, which was devoted among other objects to the pursuit ol pleasure, festivity, and games, there yet appears cropping up at frequent intervals the oppressive iron hand of the tabu, interrupting and marring all spontaneity and naturalness by its cruel dictations. 'The consideration, therefore, of Hawaiian games as an institution and as an integral part of the Makahiki festival, which was their foster parent, is inseparably connectedwith the consideration of the tabus. It is a highly significant fact that the overthrow of the tabus, the final observance of the Makahiki festival, and the last, formal, public celebration of Hawaii's Ancient games occurred in the same year. In order to emphasize this fact and set the matter before you in the clearest possible light let me remind you that, 1. The death of Kamehameha I. occurred May Kth, 1819; •-'. May eWth, IHI9, or twelve days later, Liholiho is proclaimed King under the title of Kamehameha II; 3. In October of the same year, on Kukahi, the third day of the Hawaiian lunar month Ikuiva, which, you will please note, was the date fixed for beginning the annual observance of the Makahiki festival, Liholiho publicly breaks kapu and thus fires the train which overthrows the stronghold of Hawaiian heathenism and idolatry. I must repeat that I regard it as in the highest degree significant that this particular day—or night rather—of Kukahi in October, which was the one set apart in the Hawaiian calendar on which to initiate the observance of the Makahiki solemnities, and which was observed as specially tabu, should have been the very time chosen by Kaahumanu for publicly initiating the revolutionary movement against the tabu �Volume 50, No. B.] system. The facts speak for themselves and show the brave regent, Kaahunianu, to have possessed first class strategic ability. It was the unhappy fortune of Hawaii's ancient games to be too intimate ly allied by ties of blood relationship with those twin monsters, the tabu and idol worship, and when they were destroyed it fared hard with that nobler institution which had many worthy features that one would gladly have seen perpetuated and rehabilitated in decent shape if it had been possible. 'The year IK-JO dawned upon Hawaii— a nation without a religion. It was fortunate that the Hawaiian people did not have long to wait for the dispensation of light that was winging its way as a new Lono across the waters. Otherwise the vacuum in Hawaii's social and religious institutions would surely have been speedily filled with some growth of error equally pernicious with that which had been uprooted. At this crisis, while yet the wounds had hardly been stanched that were intlicted at the last battle in defense of heathenism's altars, appears the mis sionary. A foresight, not his own, had cleared the ground for him of many noxious growths. Thus favored his work was peculiarly that of the sower of seed; its earliest phase was in the highest degree educational and religious. With what enthusiasm the people gave themselves to instruction is matter of history; how the whole population crowded the schools that were soon established to possess themselves of the new learning; how thechiefs, whom the people had been accustomed to look to as their natural guides and leaders, by example and by the whole force of their authority, urged them to attendance at the extemporized gatherings for study as well as religious worship. Priest-craft and kahuna craft had for the time retired to their caves and hiding places; the powerful authority of the alii, the tide of chiefish influence and popular sentiment set in strong current away from the old life, its worship, festivals, public games, and festivities with all the abuses that gathered about them. But there were other influences at work assisting in this overturning. As in Europe the invention of gunpowder and firearms drove from the field of war the armored knight and sounded the death knell of the institution of chivalry and knight-errantry, so in Hawaiian warfare, long before the arrival of the missionary, the musket had already begun to supplant the sling and spear. At the battle of Kuamoo, which was the last stand made by the adherents of the tabu system, the first blood was from wounds caused by musket-balls, and the battle itself was decided not by sling and spear but by the firearms of civilization. Kamehameha on Hawaii, like Napo- 59 THE FRIEND. leon in Europe, was victorious by virtue of the more effectual artillery. Let us note that with the retirement of spear and sling from advantageous use in battle naturally came discontinuance of their use in friendly contests and sports. Again, as white men introduced the musket, they also introduced playing cards, and those bits of printed paper have no doubt assisted in driving out the ancient games of konkne and puheuelicue. Ever ready to take up with the newest fad or fashion in play or gambling, the Hawaiian who had erstwhile staked his tnalo, his wife, his very bones on his skill with the black and .vhite pebbles of the konane board, was quick to lay these aside for those more fascinating implements of civilization, dice and playing cards. 'The sport of surf riding possessed a grand fascination, and for a time it seemed as if it had the vitality to hold its own as a national 'There are those living, pastime. perhaps some present, who remember the time when almost the entire population of a village would at certain hours resort to the sea-side to indulge in, or to witness, this magnili :ent accomplishment. We cannot but mourn its decline. But this too has fell the touch of the new civilization, and to day it is hard to find a surf-board outside of our museums and private collections. Perhaps it should be added in further explanation, that as the zest of this sport was enhanced by the fact that both sex;s engaged in it, when this practice was found to be discount enanced by the new molality, it was felt that the interest in it had largely departed—and this game too went the way of its fellows. The introduction of the horse early in this century was a novelty that almost from the first began to be highly appreciated by the Hawaiians. At the very earliest period when horses had become Sufficiently numerous, the older as well as younger generation ol Hawaiians eagerly availed themselves of the ileetness and endurance of the horse to perform journeys which their ancestors had made on foot 01 in the canoe. Even Kamehameha I. in his old age became a good horseman. The formal running of foot races, kukini, once notable events in Hawaiian games, had probably largely gone out of vogue before the horse had become so plenty as to enable each member of a family to realize that peculiar Hawaiian ambition to possess his own beast. liut the decay of this laudable and healthgiving exercise was no doubt in a measure due to the introduction of the horse. As to the decline of the holua, sliding down hill in order to maintain that royal sport, not a little labor was required, to keep in repair the course. In passing along King street, before Kamehameha queried as to the purpose of that straight roadbed, or causeway running at right angles to the highway they are travelling, which sweeps down from the plateau of the hills above till it quite reaches the plain back of the school. It is the site of ad ancient liolua course. It was once a paved and earth-covered track, strewn with grass and leaves when ready for use, down which the long and heavy runners of the holua sled {piipa holua) travelled with a speed that must have rivalled that of the modern tobogan, at the same time imposing on the sled-man a far greater risk to life and limb than is the case with any toboganist. 'The bowling of the maika stones was also practiced on a specially prepared course. In order to maintain these two sports, popular enthusiasm and interest alone would not suffice. To this enthusiasm must be added the patronage and leadership of some influential and public spirited man of standing, an alii or chieftain, to take the initiative anil lead in the matter. But with the incoming of the new order the few remain'".. chiefs who had mention that survived the wars, no. fearful epidemic the OktUt, which decimated all classes of the population early in this century, had lost relish and the old enthusiasm for these ancient Their time and attention were spoits. demanded for more practical affairs, in planting food, making roads, and in performing many services for the king among the more arduous of which may be mentioned that of gathering sandal wood in the mountain forests from which great profits were realized. We must remember that the commercial, money getting spirit was here in advance of the missionaries, and both king and chiefs were quick to avail themselves of the energies of the people for their own emolument. The wants of the Hawaiian had been few and easily satisfied. Under the new order of things a thousand new desires were kindled even in the hearts of the least ambitious, so that there was no time or place for regret or turning back, hardly lor thought. (neat social revolutions come as does the Kingdom of Heaven, without observation. After the sounds of battle at Kuamoo were hushed, the change from the old to the new order of things was accomplished with no greater outward signs of commotion than are observed in the turning of an ocean tide. And yet the new life that opened up before the Hawaiian in the year 1880 was separated from the old, from that of the time of the dead Kamehameha, by a gulf as deep and impassable as if an earthquake had chasmed the earth to its foundations. His thoughts and musings, his philosophizings, so far as he had coming opposite the School, many have no doubt > �60 any, were not with the goods and properties he had cast away on the other ■ide—his attention, was absorbed in the panorama that daily and hourly unrolled itself before him. The last thought to enter his head would have been that of attempting to resuscitate the public celebration of games after the manner of the ancient Makahiki festival.

'They were for the most part in great ignorance of many of the institutions that the Hawaiian people had cast off in the wilderness. Their spirit and mood was practical and philanthropic and did not concern itself with philosophizing. The causes that had produced Hawaii's great revolution were national and were in operation years before their arrival on her shores. The missionaries were not the authors of Hawaii's century of war; they did not cause the abolition of her tabus and idol worship; they did not put a stop to the Makahiki festival; they did not introduce gunpowder and muskets, playing cards and dice. Much as the more thoughtful and judicious among the early missionaries may at times have regretted the decline of interest and practice of the nobler of the old Hawaiian sports, they were utterly powerless to arrest the tendency towards the substitution of imported and foreign games for the worthy sports and exercises indigenous to the soil and ra. c. How little power of control the missionary had over this national movement, which I have shown had its roots in causes that were operative before his arrival, may be judged from the fact that in spite of his declared opposition to the hula, that relic of heathenism still survives, and from time to time the altars of the obscene Laka send forth their baleful light, as the waning fires are fed by high patronage at home, or are replenished by the offerings of pilgrims from abroad. The change that has passed over this land is one of great interest from every point of view. It is not confined to this archipelago; but is part of a movement affecting that whole family of Polynes ian peoples, with one section of which our lot has been cast. It is characterized not alone by the disappearance of one set of sports and games and their replacement by another, but by substitution in nearly every relation of life. Iron takes the place of stone, fabrics woven from cotton, linen, wool and silk take the place of kapa, the dugout, Honolulu. �Volume 50, No. B.] Death of Alexander J. Cartwright. Mr. Cartwright had long been one of the most prominent citizens of Honolulu, filling a place in business in which his death leaves a blank such as is not often made. He was the business con fidant of many persons, and the trustee of many estates, a service for which he was peculiarly fitted. Although in his 73rd year, he had continued in apparently full vigor and activity, his death resulting from a malignant carbuncle. Mr. Cartwright arrived in Honolulu in 1849, thus being one of our oldest Having through foreign residents. strong American patriotism been unwilling to acquire Hawaiian citizenship, he had never held government office, although public-spirited and lending much service to public objects. At the time of his death, he was President of the American Relief Fund, which he administered with benevolence and wisdom. He was also the President of the Honolulu Library, to which he has been a most munificent contributor, coming nobly to its relief in a recent disaster. The funeral took place on July 14th, with exercises at the house, conducted by the Rev. H. 11. Parker, and at the grave, by the Masonic Lodges. 'To the honored survivor of nearly a half century of wedded life, and to the two sons and their families, the earnest sympathy of the community Roes out in their bereavement. BISHOP OF PANOPOLIS. A successoi to the late Roman Catholic Bishop of Olba has been appointed in the person of Rev. Father Gulstan, with the title of "Bishop of Panopolis." The Rev. Father Francis Gulstan Ropert was born in Brittany in 1839, He arrived here in June INfiN, and for 15 years labored in Hamakua and Ko hala, Hawaii, succeeding Father Leonor at Wailuku in IBKS. Last year he was appointed Vice-Provincial of this mission, removing to Honolulu in February last. His appointment as Bishop is said to give satisfaction to the Catholic Clergy and people. TheMakiki suburb lying above the iseball Grounds has lately received a great extension by the opening of two streets west of and parallel with Makiki road, up as far as the base of the hills. number of large lots have been sold d fenced, which lie on each side of c three streets above Wilder Avenue. The next thing needed is to establish an Artesian pumping station to furnish an abundant supply of water to the Makiki and Punahou region. t THE FRIEND. 61 A PLEA FOR HAWAIIANS. sickness. 'The crying need of the times a corps of trained nurses. In my visits am ing the people, I frequently meet with cases of destitution, so that I have come to the conclusion that a great many deaths occur from want of careful nursing. In fever cases, many, I have no doubt, hive died after the (ever has been reduced, but not having suitable food to eat, these patients have succumbed from inanition, whereas had they received proper noorishme.it, their lives would have been saved. In the use of medicine, Hawaiians are governed by the rule of five. Medicine that will not cure in five doses, is discarded as being of no v due. A good deal of the medicine dispensed by government physicians is disposed of in a summary way. This, and other abuses that might be mentioned, CM only he stopped by stationing trustworthy persons at the bedside of the sick. 'The labors of government physicians would be more effective than they are at present, had they the assistance of reliable nurses to watch the sick, as well as to perform the numberless offices necessary to the r wellbeing. Many Hawaiians dread going to the Queen's Hospital. 'The idea prevails that some of the patients who have gone there hive been poisoned. 'This absurd notion has arisen through the use of anodynes To allay pain and induce sleep, is the ■bject in view in administering medicines of this class Hawaiians think the aim is to poison, and thus silence the groans and screams of noisy patients. Then, the management is defective. 'This, I suppose, isthe chief objection to the Institution. It is very desirable that Hawaiians should have correct views on the subject of diseases and their cure. How shall this end be attained? [BRyBicknell.] ev.James People wonder at the prevalence of idolatry among Hawaiians, and yet the thing is not strange when it is considered that man is a dual being. The Hawaiian idea respecting the causes of disease is essentially the same as those which were entertained by people of old, who believed that sicknesses occasioned by evil spirits. Hawaiians have been put in possession of the Bible, ami shown how to save the soul, but of the laws of health and the proper care of the body, they have no knowledge. U .til they are instructed as to the Causes oldisease, idolatry will ever prevail among them. Idolatry as it exists among Hawaiians, is religion fir the body. The system has no jurisdiction in spiritual matters. Ii concerns itself solely with the welfare of the body. The ills of the soul, it does not recognize, and therefore kahuna practice is anlag nistic to Gospel teaching In this matter of religion, the hotly wars against the soul. Many a Hawaiian loses his Christianity under an attack of disease, wh i is proof against direct temptation. Believing as Hawaiians do that disease is the work of evil spirits, the question with them is, How to expel the spirits from the bodies of those persons who ire possessed by them. A native ado] its one or in re of the gods belonging In the Hawaiian Pantheon, and gives out nofce that he is endowed with power to heal diseases. Thus he sets up as a kahuna. Remove from the minds of Hawaiians the belief that disease is the result of demoniacal possession, and the kahuna has no use for his god. 'Take away this belief, and idolatry will co.ne to an end. In Hawaii nei, missionary teaching his been confined chiefly to man's spiritual nature. Schools ol theology have been established, but none in which medical science is taught. Teaching on the i auses of disease, should go hand in hand with thht on the origin of evil. As at present, Hawaiian belief respecting the causes ol disease, is at variance with medical sc erne. Shortly after the accession of ttie late King to the Throne, his wife visited the island of Hawaii for the purpose of forming Hooulu Lshui Societ-es. At the close of her address to the people of Waipio, I remarked that Kamehameha Illenfranch ised the people, and Kamehameha IV built them a hospital, if her husband wish ed to perpetuate his memory, the reidiest way would be to found a medical sch iol in connection with the Queen's Hospital. She replied, "That matter is under consideration" Ke noonoo ia nei ia mea. 'The failure to execute this purpose, is, I think, ■ lost opportunity. To those who intend to build a Kilakuia momunent, I would suggest that they spend their money in f >rniin{j a school specially fitted for the training of nurses who shall go out among the people and care for them during is Ewa Plantation.—We learn that the season's crop of this plantation has been very exactly 3000 tons, taken off from a little more than 000 acres, or nearly five tons to the acre. About one hundred acres in addition were cut for planting eleven hundred acres of new fields, to come off next Winter. The next crop is estimated at 6000 tons. Much of the new ground was planted too late in the season to yield a full crop, owing to delay in getting the irrigating pumps to work properly. The Plains, including Makiki and Punahou, are by many preferred, as to climate, above the Nuuanu end of the city. Their climate is drier and warmer, and better suited to delicate lungs. For ourselves we greatly prefer the cool bracing air from Nuuanu and Pauoa valleys, with their frequent light morning showers. �62 [August, 1892. THE FRIEND. RECORD OF EVENTS.

Emerson, 63 THE FRIEND. - Hditor. By the death of Rev. S. Waiwaiole on the 27th of July 1892, the Hawaiian Board is left without a missionary to the lepers. It is probable that for the present his work will be taken up so far as is possible, by the Rev. J. H. Pallia who is an ex-Hawaiian pastor to lepers, resident at the Leper Settlement. Mr. Waiwaiole has proved himself an energetic and faithful minister a of tne Gospel to the lepers. It is one of the pleasant memories we have of Mr. J. E. Bidwell, that, after a Wednesday evening service at which Mr. Okabe had been present and had spok.cn of his work on Hawaii, he stepped up to us and said he wished to give the Hawaiian Board ten dollars for the Japanese mission. Again our good brother has remembered us, but alas this time in his last will and testament, by which he left the Hawaiian Board $ 250. A like sum, we are to d, was also left by him fur the Cousins' Society, At the meeting of the Hawaiian Bt ard held July 6, 1891, it was voted that the Foreign Committee be authorized to prepare and forward to the German I iovern inent a memorial from their Board in reference to the regulations made by the German Commissioner at Jaluij, compelling the Star to touch hist at Jaluij to get permission to land at l'leasant Island. In view of the above vote the following letter was sent. Honolulu H. I. Xov. 2, 1891. To His Majesty the Emperor of Germany. Sire: Far away in the center of the Pacific Ocean lies a group of islands called the Gilbert Islands. In the year 1857 the Gospel was first introduced among them by American and Hawaiian missionaries. Native pastors and catech sts have been trained up, and three of the latter have been stationed as teachers on l'leasant Island. This is, like Banaba (Ocean I.), an isolated island, lying some 250 miles to the west of the Gilbert Group, and connected with That group by affinities of race and language. For this mission field there is an American Superintendant with Hawaiian preachers and teachers, supported in whole or in part by the Hawaiian Board of missions (I'rotestant). It is the custom of the missionary superintendent of the Gilbert Islands mission to visit the teachers on Pleasant Island once a year in the missionary vessel "Morning Star". Of late years in order to do this the captain has been required first to go to Jaluij in the Marshall Islands to secure a permit from the German Commissioner there. The additional time necessary to do this, as well as the additional expense interferes seriously with the successful prosecution of the missionary work.

Hall, Treasurer. Mr. Goo Kim's Work in China. One of the first and most active members of the Chinese Christian Church, has recently returned from China, after a year's absence. He has been re-appointed one of the two Chinese Commercial Agents for the Hawaiian Kingdom. He represents the Hakka element in our Chinese Community, as the other Agent, Mr. Wong Kwai, represents the Punti, or Cantonese portion. Mr. Goo Kirn gave a very interesting account, last Sunday morning, in Kaumakapili Church, of Christian work as he saw it, in China. Mr. Goo Kirn has done much himself to maintain and extend the religion of Jesus. At his home, near the city of Gaintzu (of Kai-ing), in the Province of Kwang Tung, about 100 miles up the river from Swatow, he has built a Church and School house, and supported a pastor and teacher. There are about twenty members. The pastor is Chung Wong Fook, connected with the Basle Mission. Some one visiting the place took photographs of the Church, and of Mr. Goo Kirn's residence. There are '1- scholars in the School. Mr. Goo Kirn's nephew was recently married in the Church, and now superintends the rice plantation for his uncle. About 300 people assembLd to witness the marriage ceremony, as many as attended the services at the dedication of the Church. The Church bears on the outside the inscription "Place to worship God." In the interior, on each side of the pulpit, are also such inscriptions as in the Church in this city, the Creed, and the Decalogue. Mr. Goo Kirn's influence as an earnest Christian man, has been felt in Honolulu, during his absence. The �August, 1892.

Worship Suppressed in Ponape. By the following letter from the very intelligent "Prince" Henry Nanpei, who visited Honolulu last year, it is shown that the ancient intolerance of Catholicism, and especially of the Spanish type, is reasserting itself in Ponape. The extermination of Protestantism is what Romanism habitually strives for by force or by baud. It is folly for Protestants ever to be beguiled into supposing that Roman Catholic priests anywhere are tolerant at heart. Let Ponape be another object-lesson ta us. Ponal'K, June 6, 1892. To Mr. W. HICOINS Respected Sir: I take the opportunity to offer you my kind and humble thanks for your kind attention in showing me around during my brief stay in Honolulu. 1 beg to state that I am in ihe enjoyment of perfect health. * * We are strictly prohibited from holding any meeting here. The Catholic priests forbid anything not flavored with Romanism. * * Ia in sorry to say some have fallen away, and returned to their old ways; almost to do battle in an opposite direction. Fverything is quiet here just at present; there were some rumors awhile beck about a breakout, but things are quieted down again.

Activity at the Volcano. At our visit to Kilauea last April, the great lire-lake was nine hundred feet in diameter. It occupied the center of the great pit of Halemaumau, 2,400 feet wide. The molten surface was then sunken forty feet below the new floor of the pit. This floor was 300 feet below the rim of Halemaumau. The fire-lake was then in beautiful ebullition on many parts of its extensive surface. Visitors early in July report the lava to be steadily rising. It has been for some time running over the 300 foot floor, the whole of which is somewhat raised by the overflows. The rim of the lake is also much built up, giving the floor a slightly conical form. Rev. O. P. Emerson, with the rest of Mr. Guliek's camping party, clambered down to the lava, and got line coin specimens from the overflowing streams, in which they puddled freely with their sticks. Mr. Emerson tells of a remarkable grove of giant koa trees which the campers visited, about seven miles towards the Fast of Mauna Loa. Some of the trees were live feet in diameter with clean lofty stems. From such were hewn the great canoes of olden time, dug out with stone adzes, with many incantations to the gods. One of the first bills to become a law is one ordering the coinage of several thousand dollar! in half dimes, and of several thousand more in cents, all to be similar to such coins in the States. Five cent nickels are already extensively used, being the com required for fares on the Tramc.irs. It remains to be seen whether the people will accept the use of one They were tried fifty years cent coins. ago, without success. It cannot be doubted that such coins promote habits of economy, which are much needed in these bard times. Many a person might make cpjite a luxurious meal of live different centsworth of fruit and vegetables, while at present he can buy only one article with his nickel, and so in his poverty must spend more, or go hungry.

Per Steamer Watalcalc, Saturday evening, July 20, a large party of five white and seven Hawaiian members ol the Legislature went to visit the lepers Ht Kaiaupapa and Kalawao, inspect then condition, lico then complaints, etc. They weic- stccompained by three physicians from the naval ships in port, by the President of the Board of Health, and by several other persons. They landed early Sunday morning, and altei twelve hours among the lepers, re-embarked for Honolulu, reaching port on Monday at one in the morning. Full report* of this visit were made in the papers. On the evening of Sunday, July 10th, the congregation of Central Union Church listened for nearly an hour to very interesting statements made by two Trustees of the Church and members of the Legislature, of their observations at the Leper Settlement. Mr. Alexander Young is President and Manager of the Honolulu Iron Works, and Air. W. O. Smith was Chairman of the Legislative Visiting Committee. We here give a brief resume of their statements. Mr. Young gave a quite correct description of the locality. It is a semicircular plain at the base of the great northern precipice of the island, which is nearly !i,OOO feet high, am 1 capable of ascent only at the very di road up. This completely isolates the place from the rest of the island. The plain is about three miles long and one and a half wide. The greater part is fertile, and produces abundantly, but needs some irrigation, there being a deficiency of rain for part of the year. It is rather windy, the N. F. trades sweeping down the coast. There is a lack of trees, but otherwise the locality is an attractive one, and naturally salubrious. It was always the borne of a dense native population, many of whom still cling to their old homes. Mr. Young emphasized the beauty of the Settlement, as being the prettiest village he knew ol outside ol Honolulu, saving the absence of trees. The cottages weic attractive and comfortable. The people seemed extremely cheerful, and greeted their visitors with enthusiasm. A very good brass band met them at the landing with tunes. These were lepers who had been memHe bers of Burger's Royal band. thought that the Committee were the saddest men on the island that day. There were hundreds of lepers collected, in all stages of the disease. Some were to outward appearance perfectly well, while others were disfigured beyond recognition. The quarters for the boys as well as the girls were found too crowded, compelling too much mingling of the mild cases with the more serious ones. Additional houses for the boys have been provided for by the kindness of Mr. ' - 65 THE FRIEND Baldwin, and the government will doubtless improve the quarters of the girls. Both Mr. Young and Mr. Smith spoke in the highest terms of the labors of the Franciscan Sisters in the Bishop Home for the girls. They are American ladies of refinement who have cast in their lot with the lepers. Mr. Young added some facts in respect to the dam and water-pipes from Waikolu ravine which supply the settlement. The water system needs to he extended. He insisted on the absolute necessity of strict segregation of the lepers, for the protection of the whole send round a subscription-list, instead ot juggling about the country, with an Australian larrikin; a "brumby,'' with as nine h breed as the by; a brace of ehnmars in gold-laced caps; three or four ckka\>on ies with hogged manes, and a switch tai led demirep of a mure called Arab because she has a kink in her flag.

Segregation was begun in 1848, with an Asylum near Honolulu. In 1860, the present settle ment was adopted; 4557 lepers have been sent there, over three fifths ol them males. There are now 1115 afflicted ones there, of whom 19 are whites, and 28 Chinese. During the last two years 372 have been sent to the settlement, and 366 have died there, an annual mortality of 16 percent. One tenth of the active revenue of the Kingdom is expended upon the lepers. The cost of their segregation and maintenance for the last two years was $240-000, or about $63 per annum for each person. The various complaints made by the lepers were made in a very reasonable and impressive manner and deserved . rious consideration. Both these members of the committee had manifestly had their feelings of sympathy and com passion deeply stirred. Hawaiian Apathy About Leprosy. community. Mr. Smith's brief address was mostly Rudyard Kipling on Horse Racing. Mr.. Kipling is not squeamish. He is no Ptirilan. He is very tolerant of men's failures in respect to some of the ten com mandments. If he tails anything black, we may quite sure that it is not very white. Sou c of our good people are still in dined to think that the institution of horse-ruing is not very black. Let us hear what Mr. Rudyard Kip'ing says about ii. He seems to have tal ci an in side view t f that busini ss, as ie i as of good many othir shady proceedings. He* begins lis story of "The Bn ken-Link Handicap" with ilvs preamble: "There are more ways ol running I horse to sun y ur bo k than pulling Lis head off in tie straight. S me nun for get this. Understand c earls that all racing is n tteu- as everything connected wiih losing nminy must lie.

Wot h is much worse. If a man wants your money, he ocght to ask for it, or Nothing in connection with this pitiful blight (not scourge, which implies acute suffering) upon the Hawaiian people is sadder than the total indifference of most of them to the disease, and their utter carelessness as to precautions against it. F'rom the recent biennial Report of the Board of Health we cull the following two remarkable statements in illustration. The government physician at Kau, C. B. Cooper writes: "I have seen considerable of the manner of living during the past few weeks of my inspection of suspects, and was told by a party who I think is responsible, that one of the suspects, a sure case, was seen sitting in a circle of natives all chewing ava root and ejecting it into the same bowl, to be drunk subsequently. Now if this be true, how can it be possible that all the others of the party may escape being infected with the disease ? The natives seem to have absolutely no fear of leprosy from contagion, and look upon segregation as an infringement on their rights and seem to consider the Board of Health as their deadliest enemies, instead of as those who desire to give them the only possible chance to preserve their race." It has been proved that the bacilli of leprosy have their chief home in the secretions of the mouth, and hence the mouth and nose are the chief seats of contagion. We have repeatedly seen the pipe passed from the leper to the healthy person. We have seen healthy and leprous school children fondling each other. Throughout the Pacific Ocean, the narcotic root awa, or kava, is prepared as above described, the collected fibres and saliva being subsequently diluted with water, strained, and drank. Fven white men of coaiser grain, often participate, deserving to contract whatever disease may be thus communicated. Dr. S. B. Swift, the able resident physician at Kalawao for several years, writes as follows: "Let me state that I can at any time get 20 or 25 kokuas (healthy helpers) to submit to inoculation with a view of contracting the disease, to the end that �6 THE FRIEND. they may be endowed with the privilegea and supplied with the rations of the regular leper." "Let it be understood (for I can prove it) that to be a leper is a desideratum, if not on the tiutside, it is so at this settlement." CASTLE & COOKE, Incorporated 18HO.

It was kept dark till near the close of a long session, when it was hoped that many of the native members, having expended their $250 of pay, would be more ready to accept the heavy bribes which the promoteis of the scheme are prepared to pay. Our knowledge of Hawaii gives us confidence that it will re" reive the scornful rejection which it deserves. America with many convulsive struggles, has lately cast out this noxious thing from her borders. It now seeks a lodgement in Hawaii, whence it may continue its robbery of the people of the States. This outcast felon is anxious to pay us a large sum, $500,000 a year, to give it foothold. The proposal is felt by all thinking and honorable men tc be insulting and indecent. Hawaii is not going to swallow what America has just spewed out, not even if all our debts and all our taxes were to be paid thereby. Public expectation had grown listless in waiting for the long promised vote of Want of Confidence. It tame at last very suddenly. The Resolution was present'd by Hon. W. C. Wilder on the 30th uit. and passed the same evening by a vote of 31 to 10. The Cabinet resigned the next morning. Their successors have not yet been appointed We here express no opinion as to the justice of the charges which were embodied in the resolution, of general inefficiency and incompetency. The country certainly needs a strong and capable Cabinet to cope with our present financial difficulties. Of the other charge that "the administration of the Police Department has caused public scandal," there is no doubt of the hardest kind of scandal, whether or not the Marshal is actually in fault, which he strenuously denies. Most of the community have learned to believe, whether true or not, that his corrupt collusion with gamblers and opium smugglers has caused the late immense increase in these evil prac tices. It seems only fair to him to say that much of the animosity against him felt by certain parties is due to his activity in arresting suspects at the time of the late commitments for treason. The appointment of a new AttorneyGeneral believed to favor Marshal Wilson, was the immediate inciting cause of the overthrow of the Ministry so suddenly, as it secured the support of the Liberals or Wilcox faction to that measure. Much irritation was also caused by the introduction of the Lottery Bill which the Cabinet were suspected of favoring. Altogether the Legislature was stirred up to united action, and out the Ministers went. Who will constitute the new Cabinet, or what its political complexion, is hard to guess. Few capable men are willing to take such office with little assurance of support either from any strong party or from the Queen. The prospect is not the best for our getting an able Cabinet. We will hope that able and patriotic men may be induced to serve.

The Gilbert Islands Under the British Flag. The Daily Bulletin states that on May 27th the British flag was hoisted at Butaritari by Capt. Davis of H. B. M. S, Royalist, and a formal protectorate declared in the name of Queen Victoria. It is said to be Capt. Davis' intention to remove all firearms from the natives throughout the group. We may here re. fer to Missionary Walkup's personal influence last year in Tarawa, inducing both the contending parties to surrender their rifles, which he sunk in deep water. If the British will establish good government in all the Gilbert Islands, it will be a great boon to the Christian civilization now struggling there for development. The Conversion of the Pundita Ramabai. This distinguished and learned Hindu widow had allied herself with American Unitarians, and was most benevolently commissioned by them to establish a school for Hindu widows, but was forbidden by her Unitarian patrons to speak to those widows upon the subject of Christ or Christianity. The Pundita attended Rev Dr. Pentecost's services in Poona not miss. ing a meeting for six weeks. One evening in a testimony meeting, she surprised every. body by standing up and bearing testimony to the goodness and grace of God. In a subsequent letter to Dr. Pentecost she stated that up to that time she had not had peace of soul, but at such and such a night at the meeting she was led to see that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and that his death was for the expiation of human sin. She had cast herself on him as her Savior, and since then peace had ruled in her soul. Fighting at Ponape.—Word comes through the Sydney papers that four Span, ish gunboats attacked the insurgents at Ponape, and in the attempt to land their forces were repulsed with heavy loss, the natives shooting from behind trees with Winchester rifles. The only surviving Protestant missionary, Mr. Rand, has not been on Ponape for some years. This fact does not prevent the Spaniards from charging the missionaries with fomenting rebellion, as it would seem from the Sydney papers. �66 THE FRIEND Letter from Rev. Arthur H. Smith. Pang Cluiang, Shantung, China, • July 2nd. 1892 My Dear Mr. Bishop: It is not ipiiie a year since I smt you my last letter, to whit h you replied some time during the winter. I sent yon a postal mentioning that 1 had not for a long time had the pleasure of seeing The Friknh, and now, a mail or two ago, I received a 1 ill of 13 copies, together with a Bulletin, g'ving act urate information as to the prest 1 condition of the volcano, about which I have for a long time been able to learn nothing. Please accept my thanks for this remembrance of a chance visitor, who will ever cherish ihe recollection of a visit to Hawaii as ,i precious treasure. According to n, "The in vi who has a thousand friends Han not a friend to spare; and though I have never had the privilege of owning so many at once, I can readily believe the statement. On the long journey by (he Grand Canal from Tientsin here, I took pleasure in studying up all that I was able to learn through the back numbers which you have kindly f ■_■■ warded, now I feel comparatively well informed ! We have been much interested in hearing of the way in which you have dealt with the many difficult problems forced upon you by the development of the work for the Japanese, for the Portuguese, as well as that for the Chinese. The political relations of your Island King dom are likely to attract increasing attention in the future, and though prophecy is 'a lost art' it is certainly safe to forecast that whatever may come, the children of fathers who have done so much for the Hawaiians, and for all the best interests of the varied population, will not be wanting in anything which will enable them to promote tint righteousness by which alone the nation is exalted. Unless it might be among the Huguenots, or among some of the Pilgrim Fathers, I do not know of a company of Christians of equal numbers, whose work for two generations and for three, can be compared with that of jhe missionaries to the "Sandwich Islands." The past year has been one of unrest in China, and it is difficult to know exactly what is the present condition of affairs. The riots of last year have had no succes sors, for the outbreak in Manchuria last winter had not the smallest connection with foreigners, and was altogether sup pressed in a very short time. Recent at tacks upon missionaries in the Ftikien province, do not appear to be due to any impetus derived from without, but it is clear that there is a feeling of great disquiet in many parts of the empire. The trouble with the province of Honan, which s intensely anti-foreign, appears to be almost in the same condition as a year ago.

Several other gentlemen here have received similar appointments, and are re ported in the public papers to have accepted them. We are holding the subject un der consideration, waiting for farther light We have as yet seen no definite statement of what objects are sought to be gained by the expected Congress, or what methods ol conference are proposed. Meantime, we would ask, why it would not be equally suitable to arrange a Congress of medical systems, in which not only Allopaths, Homoeopaths, Hydropaths, Keely Curists, Mind Curists, etc., should unite in a friendly interchange of opinions, but where should appear also representatives of Chinese, Hindoo, Arab ian, Turkestan, and other medical systems.

S. lesson of August 21st, we were deeply impressed with the powerful way in which the leading truths of the Gospel were packed into a small compass by the apostle Peter, as with words given him by the Holy Ghi st according to his Lord's promise, he made answer to the Jewish Sanhedrim for himself and his colleagues. In the space of sixty words we find not less than eleven prominent doctrines of the Christian faith distinctly affirmed. "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew, hanging him on a tree. Him did God exalt al his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins. And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." Acts v: 30-32. 1. God is the God of the fathers of Israel, the God of the Old Testament. 2. Jesus was crucified and slain by the Jews. 3. God raised up Jesus from the dead. 4. He exalted him to the highest place in the heaven "at his right hand." 5. He ordained him Prince over Israel, the King of the promised kingdom. 6. (iod made Jesus the Savior from sin. 7. He gives through this crucified and risen Savior, Repentance —the turning from sin and heartily renouncing and forsaking of sin. 8. Through this Savior God gives also the Remission of sins—the pardon and forgiveness of guilt; full reconciliation with and acceptance by the wronged and forsaken Father. 9. Peter and the other apostles were officially the witnesses of the foregoing facts, which they solemnly attested to be true. 10. The chief and Supreme Witness of the truths which the apostles attested was the Holy Ghast, who was daily confirming their testimony by signs and miracles, and by speaking through their lips. 11. Under the new dispensation, the Holy Ghost was given in manifest power to all yielding and obedient hearers of the Gospel. In the above analysis of Peter's brief creed declared to the Supreme Court of Israel, we have used explanatory words, to call attention only to what must have been the sense in which Peter used the terms whj.ch he did. We have added nothing by way of gloss, or of inference, although many additional d < trines might be found involved in the language used and the facts attested to. Being a declaration of facts made for a special occasion, this Creed of Peter's cannot be credited with symmetrical completeness. Yet it is a creed of great power. One who holds, heartily and obediently to all these truths is a Christian in the fullest sense. Every one of these eleven facts is of the greatest importance and value to every human soul. Blessed are those who believe a ll these things, and obey accordingly. �Volume 50, No. 9.] Christian Repentance. The New Sailor's Home.

The discussion of this evil proposition in llie Legislature was postponed by the Cabinet complications. It will probably come up at an early date. Meantime the delay has given opportunity for a vigorous and very united expression of public opinion against the iniquity. None of our English daily papers have supported it, and we believe none of the Hawaiian. A great deal of forcible writing has denounced the Lottery in the papers. The communications in its favor have been few. The Anglican Church Chronicle and the Diocesan, which represent the Anglican sentiment, have contained strong and intelligent articles against it. Pungently worded leaflets denouncing and exposing its iniquity \rec\iz been circulated among Hawaiians. Memorials and petitions against the Lottery have poured in from all parts of the Islands. The Ladies' memorial to the Queen is elsewhere reported. The Chamber of Commerce has protested against it. A large petition from the great body of our business men has gone to the Legislature against it. On the other side, it is said that a considerable proportion of the natives favor the Lottery. This is probably true in the Chinese clte-fa lotteries, which through police connivance were, not long ago, so active in absorbing the people's earnings as to cause a falling off of 20 per cent, in the daily sales of beef. It is also reported, as we grieve to say, that a large number of our intelligent white mechanics favor the lottery, believing that the -$500,000 annual subsidies prom ised will give them much needed employment. We are sure that this is a delusion, and that the general poverty and misery which attend lottery gambling would vastly enhance the hard times. We are still not without some apprehension as to the action of the Legislature. Although the organization proposing the Lottery has been denounced as a sham and a "fake," there is good reason to believe that they have a large sum of money in hand and are diligently "putting it where it will do the most good." Unpleasant reports have been in circulation about the attitude of the Palace and of the Cabinet towards the Lottery. We trust the event will prove them untrue. We believe that while the Queen may possibly at the outset have been misled by interested parties, she will have become enlightened on the subject, and will act worthily. A New Cabinet. After twelve days delay, a Cabinet was appointed by the Queen. Their names appear in our monthly record of events. They are well known public men. The new Cabinet is generally estimated as showing a material advance in ability over the former one. Mr. Neumann's appointment as Attorney-General had precipitated the removal of the last Cabinet. His reappointment to this one was regarded as a defiance of the House by the Palace, and a heated struggle ensued, but the Resolution of Want of Confidence failed by one vote, and the Palace scored a victory. The business of the House which had been suspended for over two weeks, was actively resumed of the multitude who have participated on the 19th. 73 The Friend think the Queen makes I great mistake, we honestly sympathize with her painful anxiety to hold on to the men whom she supposes to be the main-stay of the throne against conspirators and annexationists. It is this feeling that makes her cling to Messrs. Wilson and Neumann, and led her to treat the continuance of the latter as a tint qua non. We are certain that a far higher and safer policy for her Majesty would be to choose the best and most honorable men for her advisers, and loyally trust herself to their fidelity. In 41 period of change and transition such as the present is manifestly growing to be, her only security and honor lie in having over her government men who have earned the public confidence. Such men would not betray her trust, and they would draw towards her that esteem and sympathy which a Sovereign always needs. The new Cabinet are understood to be vigorously cutting down the Appropriation Bill in view of the great shrinkage of public revenue, a most needful course of action. Although we Sloggerism.—When the Monowai arrived on the 23d, the only new obtainable by the public for several hours was the supreme, overwhelming fact that one ruffian slogger had whaled another one. This precious item was brought in by the pilot-boat from the steamer quarantined outside. It was paraded in solitary glory with startling head lines in the morning paper. The betting section of the community—doubtless a large one —were too much absorbed in this colossal fact to ask for any other news. The Cholera at New York, the Presidential campaign, British politics, were matters of insignificance. It was not until four in the afternoon that fumigations were complete, and the papers distributed, and those were fed, whose souls could not be made happy upon the doings of toughs and bruisers. What a good thing it would be, if such garbage could be altogether disinfected out of our mails. �74 THE FRIEND. KEA.—XPWMTSCDIEUNOFKASHENUMMIT. (Abridged from the account given by Professor W. D. Alex. anilii ii, the Pacific Commercial Advertiser.J The excellent results of Mr. E. D. Preston's work on Haleakala in 1887 led the American Academy of Sciences to recommend that a similar series of observations,should be made on Mauna Kea. The U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey granted Mr. Preston leave of absence for the purpose, and lent the necessary instruments, while the trustees of the Bache fund applied its income to the same object. The Hawaiian Government Survey also contributed assistance, in consideration of the value of the the magnetic and latitude work. Mr. Preston had been engaged at Waikiki for an entire year in cooperating with Dr. A. Marcuse of the Berlin observatory in a series of delicate latitude observations. This "most important work having been satisfactorily completed, Mr. Preston entered upon the task of making a complete series of pendulum, latitude .and magnetic observations at the sea level, on the side of Maunakea, and again at its summit; one important object being to determine its specific gravity, and as it were to weigh the mountain. The stations occupied were to be carefully connected with the triangulation of the GovernmentSurvey. The party left Honolulu for Kawaihae June 25th, consisting of Mr. E U. Preston, astronomer, Mr. W. E. Wall, his assistant, Surveyor-General W. 1). Alexander as surveyor and quarter-master, with Messrs. W. W. Chamberlain and Louis Koch. The first station occupied was in the village of Kawaihae, near the sea. The next station was on the windswept plain of Waimea 2000 feet above the sea, on the north of the mountain. From Waimea our freight was carted thirty-five miles half-way around the mountain to the Kalaieha sheep station, which we made our base of operatious in attacking the mountain. A wagon road made by the owners of the Humuula Sheep Ranch leads from Waimea around the western and southern sides of Mauna Kea. On the western side of the mountain it passes through a region which only needs more rainfall to make it a superb grazing country. The ancient forests here, as at Waimea, have been nearly exterminated, but a fine grove of mamane trees still survives at the Auwaiakeakua Ranch. The manienie grass is gradually spreading and will in time add immensely to the value of the land. At the half-way station, called Waikiki, water tanks and a rest house have been provided for teamsters. After turning the corner we skirted the desolate plain studded with volcanic cones that lie between the giant mountains of Hawaii, riding through loose volcanic sand amid clouds of dust. Oc- casional flocks of quails or pigeons were the only living creatures to be seen. At length the vegetation began to be more dense, the patches of piipii grass and the groves of the beautiful and useful mamane or sophora tree more frequent, as we approached the Hilo district. Barbed wire fences showed that we were approaching civilization, and at last we came in sight of the Kalaieha Sheep Station with its neat buildings, its water tanks and telephone lines, and general air of thrift, all testifying to the energy and foresight of its manager, A. Hantberg, P2sq. Nearly every afternoon this region is enveloped in dense fog which pours in from the east, driven by the trade wind. At night, during our stay, the thermometer generally fell below 40 deg. Fahr., and frost is not uncommon. The elevation, according to the barometer, is about 6700 feet. Here Mr. Preston established an astronomical and pendulum station, and made a complete series of observations, as at Kawaihae, while surveys were made to connect it with the primary triangulation The party was then joined by Mr. E. I). Baldwin, from Hilo, who brought two pack animals and a muleteer, and by Mr. J.J. Muir, from Mana. Mr. Baldwin had visited the summit in 1890, and had afterwards made a valuable map of the central part of Hawaii The first start for the summit was made on the morning of July 19th, but an ambitious mule, which had the honor of carrying the magnetic instruments, ran away in the thick fog, and was not found till 3 p.m., after six hours of searching. Fortunately no harm had been done to the instruments. The next morning the thermometer stood at 35 deg. Fahr. The fog cleared early, and a finer day for the ascent could not be imagined. Mr. Haneberg now took command of the pack train, and had the caravan loaded and set in motion by 7:45 a.m., the guide riding in front, followed by eleven pack mules and as many men on horseback. One sturdy brute carried the pendulum receiver, weighing about one hundred pounds, on one side, balanced by bags of cement on the other. After riding nearly two miles due east from the ranch, we turned to the north, gradually ascending through a belt of country thickly covered with groves of mamane. We crossed a shallow crater just east of a conspicious peak called "Ka lepe a moa," or cock's comb, and began to ascend the mountain proper. After climbing a steep ridge through loose scoria and sand, the party halted for lunch at an elevation of 10,500 feet. The upper limit of the mamane tree is not far from 10,000 feet. The Raillardia, apiipii, extends a thousand feet higher. The beautiful Silver Sword (Argyroxiphium), once so abundant, is nearly [October, 1892. extinct, except in the most rugged and inaccessible localities. The trail next turned to the east, winding around an immense sand crater called "Keonehehee," 11,600 feet in elevation, which stands at the edge of the summit plateau. Further to the southeast we were shown a pillar of stones which was raised to commemorate Queen Emma's journey over the mountain to Waimea in 1883. The summit plateau which is perhaps five miles in width, gradually slopes up from all sides towards the central group of hills. It is studded with cones (most of which contain craters), composed of light scoria, like those in the crater of Haleakala. The surface of the plateau is strewn with blocks of light colored, fine grained, feldspathic lava, interspersed with patches of black sand. The rarity of the air was now felt by both men and animals, and it required forcible arguments to make the laggards keep up with the column. At last about 3 p.m., we clambered over the rim of a low crater west of the central cones, and saw before us the famous lakelet of Waiau, near which we camped. It is an oval sheet of the purest water, an acre and three quarters in extent, surrounded by an encircling ridge from 90 to 135 feet in height, except at the northwest corner, where there is an outlet, which was only two feet above the level of the lake at the time of our visit. The overflow has worn out a deep ravine, which runs first to west and then to the southwest. A spring on the southern side of the mountain, called "Wai Hu,' 1 is believed by the natives to be connected with this lake. The elevation of Waiau is at least 13,050 feet, which is 600 feet higher than Fujiyama. There are few bodies of water in the world higher than this, except in Thibet or on the plateau of Pamir. No fish are found in its waters, nor do any water-fowl frequent its margins. Its depth was not sounded, as it was proved by experiment that we had not adequate means for navigating it. Small tufts of grass and delicate ferns were found growing among the rocks around the lake. After the pack train had been photographed, the large tent was pitched close to the shore of Waiau, and all the animals were sent back to the ranch except one unfortunate mule, which was treated to a feed of oats and blanketed for the night. All of the party were more or less affected by shortness of breath, but two of them had a severe attack of mountain sickness before supper. After suffering extremely for thirty-six hours without any signs of improvement, they returned to Kalaieha on the 22d, leaving five persons in the camp, taking the mule with them. The writer was hors dc combat the day after the ascent with an old fashioned sick headache, but had no further trouble from that cause. �Volume 50, No. 10.] During each of the six nights which we spent on the summit the temperature fell much below the freezing point, registering 25 deg., 18 deg., 14 deg., and even 13 deg. Fahr., and considerable ice formed around the margin of the lake. During the day the maximum of the thermometer in the shade was generally between 60 deg. and 63 deg., but when exposed to the sun on the rocks it rose to 108 deg. The hygrometer indicated an exceptionally dry atmosphere. A solid pier of masonry was built for the meridian circle, and a flat rock moved into position to serve as a stand for the pendulum apparatus. Such was the clearness of the air that star observations were usually commenced before 5 p.m. Contrary to expectation we found the trade-wind blowing as strong on the summit as itdid belowat Kalaieha. Of Mr. Preston's work it may briefly be said that it was entirely successful. The opportunity was great and he made the most of it. Complete series of magnetic, latitude and pendulum observations were made, besides the observations of the barometer and thermometer, and a large number of interesting photographs were taken from different points of view. In the meantime a topographical survey was made of the summit plateau, in which Mr. J. J. Muir's assistance was most opportune and valuable. On the 2*2da short base line was measured with a steel tape and a minute survey made of the lake and its neighborhood. On the same day two of our men came up with two pack mules, bringing the Honolulu mail, a load of fire-wood and some fresh provisions. The next day, the 23d, Mr. Muir and the writer together with the guide ascended the central hill, about a mile and a half from our camp and 800 feet higher. It encloses two small craters. The scramble up that huge pile of cinders in the rarefied air is a severe strain on weak lungs. The pulse rose in one case to 120, and in another to 150 per minute. The old trig, station, .which had formerly been sighted to from several points below, was now occupied with an instrument for the first time. The difference of height between this station and the next summit was found by levelling to be about 45 feet, as it had been estimated in 1872. The highest point is probably not less than 13,-820 feet above the sea. The view from the summit was sublime beyond description, embracing, as it did, the three other great mountains of Hawaii, and the grand old "House of the Sun," 75 miles distant, looming up clear and distinct, above a belt of clouds. Miuna Loa was perceptibly a trifle loujr than the point where we stood. Without casting up any loose heaps of sand and scoria, its majestic dome has risen within 150 feet of the highest point reached by its rival. Its surface was streaked by numerous recent lava streams, while a deep cleft, which 75 THE FRIEND. breaks the smooth curve, gave us a glimpse into the vast terminal crater of Mokuaweoweo. On the windward side of the summit ridge and in the craters were several large patches of snow, two or three feet thick, composed of large crystals, like coarse salt. While eating our lunch on the summit, we were surprised to see carrion flies at that altitude, attracted by it. After surveying and sketching at several stations, we returned, sliding down a steep slope of sand and cinders, 700 feet in height, to our camp, where a repast awaited us, that reminded one of the Hamilton House. It is enough to say that our worthy chef dc cuisine was Louis Koch, well known to former guests of the Hamilton and later of the Volcano House. During the following night the thermometer fell to 13 deg. Fahr. We did not, however, suffer from cold, although the confinement of the blanket bags became rather irksome. A smallkerosene stove was kept burning all night, which no doubt helped somewhat to keep up the temperature of the air within the tent. On Monday, the 25th, the thermometer stood at 20 deg. at sunrise. Messrs. Muir and Alexander ascended the second highest peak on the northwest, overlooking Waimea, 13,645 feet in height, to continue their survey. In the cairn on the summit a tin can was found, which contains brief records of the visits of five different parties from 1870 to the present time, to which we added our own. A party of eight girls from Hilo, "personally conducted" by Dr. Wetmore and D. H. Hitchcock, Esq., in 1876, must have been a merry one. Capt. Long of H. B. M.'s Ship Fantome had visited this spot in 1876, and Dr. Arning with several Kohala residents in 1885. The same afternoon the surveyors occupied the summit of Lilinoe, a high rocky crater, a mile southeast of the central hills and a little over 13,000 feet in elevation. Here, as at other places on the plateau, ancient graves are to be found. In the olden time, it was a common practice of the natives in the surrounding region to carry up the bones of their deceased relatives to the summit plateau for burial. During the following night the thermometer fell, to 14 deg. and stood at 18 deg. at sunrise. After breakfast the surveying party ascended a third peak, east of Lake Waiau, and about 420 feet above it, where they took the closing sets of angles, and connected the latitude pier with the scheme of triangulation. On their return the tents were struck, and, instruments packed up in readiness for the pack train, which arrived about 11 a.m. Soon afterwards the fog closed in around us, and lasted till nightfall. We bid farewell to the lake about 1:30 p.m., and arrived at the Kalaieha Station before 6 p.m., without any mishap, having stopped half an hour at "Keanaka- koi," the axe-makers' cave. This is situated about a mile south of Waiau, and a hundred yards west of the trail, in a ledge of that hard, fine grained kind of rock, which ancient Hawaiians preferred for their stone implements. Here we saw the small cave in which the axemakers lodged, their fire place, and remains of the shell fish which they ate. In front of it is an immense heap of stone flakes and chips some 60 feet across and 20 or 30 feet high. Near by several hundred unfinished axes are piled up just as they were left by the manufacturers, when the arrival of foreign ships and the introduction of iron tools had ruined their trade. Around the entrance of the cave the native dandelion or pualele (Sonclius oleraccus) was growing at an elevation of 12,800 feet. It was here that the late Dr. Hillebrand found a curious idol, which is still in the possession of his family. On arriving at Kalaieha we learned that the pack mules had preceded us, and were already unloaded. None of the costly and delicate instruments employed had received the slightest injury. All the objects of the expedition had been successfully attained. I know of but one other instance on record when gravity measurements of precision have been made at so great a height. Mr. Preston's final report will be looked for with interest by the scientific world, and will add another laurel to his well-earned reputation as a physicist and astronomer. Wrecked and Starving. The lumber ship W. A. Campbell from Port Townsend to Queenstown foundered at sea August 17th, in Lat. 14° N., Long. 120° W. in consequence of a cyclone the day before. The Captain, wife, baby, and eleven seamen left the ship in one boat; the mate and ten men in another. They parted company the next day. The mate's company landed near the east point of Hawaii, Sept. 21st, in safety, after a voyage of 2100 miles in 24 days. The company were nearly exhausted, having been long on extreme short allowance, and for four days without liquids. Three of the men were nearly gone, but have rallied under careful nursing and are doing well. It is believed that the Captain's boat has been picked up. The S. S. Kinau made one day's search for her, to windward of Hilo. The U. S. S. cruiser Boston left Honolulu on the 29th for further search. This is the second company of wrecked seamen whohave within a ft-fw months found hospitatity at Capt. Eldart's ranch in Puna, and welcome in Hilo, as well as warm sympathy in Honolulu. There are no disappointments to those whose wills are buried deep in the will of God. �76 Ladies' October, 1892. THE FRIEND.

Missionary Society. Attracted to California in pioneer days, he found his way to Honolulu, where like our Lord before his ministry, he was employed as a carpenter. Here under the happy influence Taylor, ihe first pastor of of Rev. T. Port St. Church, James Bicknell was led to a very profound and thorough consecration of his life to Christ. Ileum! Henry H. Parker united with the church together. In 1863 at the solicitation of a Marquesan chief, three Hawaiian pastors with their wives were sent to Fatuhiva in the Marquesas group, as missionaries, where Mr. two of them are still laboring. Bicknell joined them as a self-supporting missionary. For seven years he maintained himself, laboring among that debased people in the endurance of severe privations, and heavy trials, in the midst of a community of licentious savages, who were habitual cannibals, and often ferocious and treacherous. Some of their cannibal orgies were indescribably loathsome, as were also many of their common practices. In the midst of these adversities, he grew to he more and more a man of God, full of prayer, of faith, and of the Divine Power, of which he had most vivid experiences in his lonely life. The work and power of the Spirit were prominent topics in his public ministry. Mi. Bicknell was married August ".I, lstiSto Ellen, oldest child of Rev. Eljas Bond Of Kohala, Hawaii. Alter seventeen years of pastoral labor, his own impaired health had incapacitated him for the farther performance of the arduous duties of his field, while the educational needs of his large family of eight children led to his removal to Honolulu, encouraged thereto by the pecuniary aid of his brother George, who had large interests at Farming's and Washington islands. Here the Bicknells have bail then pleasant home for eight years, and here to the extent of his strength Mr. Bicknell has diligently given himself lo voluntary Christian labor, in house visitation among the natives. This work led him in time lo organize an "Association for the Suppression of Idolatry/ composed of native Christians, who have caught their teacher's ardent spirit, and have done most effective work in combating the hellish influence of the kahunas, and inducing families to surrender their fetishes and objects of superstition, a great variety of which Mr. Bicknell had in his posession. He also made important contributions to the literature of the subject, in the form of pamphlets, describing these pernicious superstitions and theirevil effect. Some of these have appeared as articles in the columns of Till-. FrISMB. Although without a learned education, Mr. Bicknell was highly versed in the meaning of the Scriptures, and apt in dividing rightly the word of truth. As a preacher, he was fertile and happy in illustration, and endowed with a (|uiet and peculiar fervor. His early service among a very debased but cognate tribe of Polynesians, had given him a peculiar apprehension of certain lower conditions and traits of the Hawaiian mind, which contributed to his power in dealing with them.

The Harbor Bar Removed.—The Dredging of the Bar is substantially complete, A straight uninterrupted channel now exists ol .'lO feet in depth at low tide, and "JOO feet wide on the bottom, with an easy slope on both sides. Honolulu Harbor is now fully open to the largest ships afloat. The larger iron clads and the China steamers will no longer be compelled to anchor in the outer roadstead, as heretofore. This great work was initiated by L. A. Thurston of tbe cabinet of 1887-90, the surveys and plans for the work having been made under his direction. Those plans, after considerable debt)', were carried out by the late Ministei ol the Interior, C. N. Spencer, and have proved a great success. Tbe dredger will now find abundant employment in deepening the harbor, especially at the wharves, thereby greatly enlarging its capacity, and multiplying the accommodation for the larger clai-ses of vessels. The great facility and efficiency with which the- new Dredger has done its work give strong hope foi- the ready and speedy removal of the Pearl Harbor Bar, whereby that splendid and central haven will become open to the fleets ol the Pacific Ocean. Measurements at Kilauea. Mi. F. S. Dodge of the Survey office, spent ten days late in August, at Kilauea, when he made accurate measurements of the pit Ilalemaumau and of tbe molten lake in the bottom. His measurements agree substantially with those made in April by the Editor ofThe Friend by means of extemporized wooden appliances, and recorded by him in the Volcano Book. The same also appear in the September number of the American Journal of Science. The changes made in the periphery of Halemaumau also agree closely as mapped by both observers. During the four months the lake had continued to overflow so as to build up the surrounding lower floor some fifty feet, so that our estimate of depth of over 300 feet from upper floor appears in Mr. Dodge's results as 250 feet. His diameter of the lake 820 feet is a little less than our estimate of 900. A majority perhaps of visitors clamber down the cliff and poke specimens out of the flowing lava, which is almost constantly running over some point in �78 the raised edge of the lake. This great fire lake of thirteen acres of molten surface has now for more than a year been affording a spectacle of wonderful grandeur and brilliancy. There is scarcely any smoke to impede or annoy spectators. The Pacific Christian Advocate. Honolulu Christians, who so highly valued the society and the preaching of the Rev. A. N. FISHER while in charge of the Mission to the Japanese in this city, will be interested to learn that he assumed the editorial charge of the Pacific Christian Advocate at Portland, Oregon, on September 1 st. As the organ of the great and active Methodist Church that paper and its editor occupy a noble post of Christian service. RECODE F VENTS. Sept. Ist.

Emerson, Our 79 THE FRIEND. - Editor. page of this issue is filled with matter which we have been permited to take from the Record-book of the As- sociation for Bible Heading and for the Suppression of Idolatry. It is an eloquent commentary on the work which our lamented brother Bicknell has been carrying on so quietly during these years and as such it will be of peculiar irtterest to all who would honor him. We think, moreover, that the matter here with presented will be read with surprise by many who are not informed as to the extent of this fetish worship whichis practised among the Hawaiians and which the enlightened men among them, especially those in the pastorate, are working to overthrow. - Palua, who is one of the members of the Association for Bible Reading and for the Suppression of Idolatry, reports that on his late visit to Hana, Maui, as an evangelist to press the work of the Association, he discovered a gold twenty dollar piece, which, for forty-two years, has been an object of worship. This fetish-god bore the name of Haka. It was the property of a man who is a deacon in the Hana Church. He and his wife came into possession of it in IHSO. On the visit of I'alua and by the aid of the son of the deacon, who is a teacher in a public school, the owners of this fetish were won from their idolatrous worship of a gold coin and were persuaded to give it over into the treasury of the Hana Church. Not long before the death of Mr. •licknell a koa trunk came to him from Molokai. It was sent him from two vomen who are residing there, and who lave been worshippers of a spirit of a elative of theirs. The common name >f the relative was Laic, but her godiame or the name of her deified spirit is ■sapunohu. The trunk was full of the dresses handkerchiefs, etc., which were used by these women when possessed by the spirit Kapunohu, and while actuated by it in their superstitious practices, and it was buried by the Association in Mr. Bicknell's yard. As the story goes Laic lived at Molokai, but she had a cousin in Honolulu. When Laic died at the age of about thirty, her spirit came and entered this cousin, who thereafter became its kahu, or keeper. At the death of this keeper the spirit went again on its travels seeking a resting place. This time it went to Waianae, Oahu, and made friends (hooaikane) with another spirTt which possessed a woman living at that place. About this time two other cousins of Laic, who had gone from Molokai to Honolulu, heard of this spirit of a-kinswoman which had taken up its abode in Waianae, and they forthwith repaired thither, they and their husbands and some friends with them. At Waianae one of these women named Luukia received the spirit Kapu nohu and took it back with her to Molokai, where it finally took possession of an elder sister whose name was also Laic, and so these women came to be kahu akua, keepers of a familiar spirit and fetish worshippers till, on a trip to Honolulu, they were enlightened by a younger sister, who is a member of the Association, and so were led to forsake their idolatrous practices. Hastening back to Molokai the)- imme diately packed up all the paraphernalia of their idolatrous practices and sent them, as already stated, in a trunk, by the return steamer to Mr. Bicknell. It is to these two, needy, struggling, awakened women, that the Association has just sent by last steamer a helper. This is truly an errand of mercy and worthy the prowess of an evangelist of the first days. "I find myself before you much moved to-night by the contemplation of your Association. My soul is stirred within me at the thought of the undertaking you have entered upon in this purpose of overthrowing idolatry. As for myself I am firm in my opposition to it, and this is the reason. Some two years ago I took into earnest consideration the matter of the deadness of my parish. My study of the subject gave me two causes; the first, the superstition that was in me; and the second the super stition that had been in my predecessor. As for myself I was given over to superstitious practices. I had been led into them by my stepfather, and I see that so my ministry has been greatly hindered. My preaching was formal, and without heart. While clinging to superstition I was yet endeavoring to portray the Gospel in its power, and I have learned that this is a most sinful thing in the eyes of God. As to my predecessor, I found on entering the parsonage he had vacated, that he had left in it the marks of his superstitious practices. They were in every place. Over the doors and over the window frames were the bits ofawaroot, the kalaipahoa, and the little bundles and so on.' On the occasion of the sickness ol one of my deacons he came under the influence of the fetish doctors. No less than ten were in attendance on him till he came near to death. I labored with him to give up these practices and to put himself into the hands of God, which at last he did, and recovered. He is alive and well today and he, together with my wife and myself, are the only persons in my parish who are free from these practices, and I proclaim it here publicly, that these fetish doctors should be forced to stop their heathenish practices which are so prejudicial to the good. It is plain to me that there is no other sin which so afflicts the churches as this. It is the root and trunk of the trouble, and all other sins are but branches of it. In my devotcdness to the work of the Lord 1 find only joy, and my opposition to idolatry has brought me no harm." Words of Key. S.

Origin of the Association for Bible Reading and for the Suppression of Idolatry, as Told by the Rev. James Bicknell. (I'ranslaleil f, he I'i-i sofllie Asso, ialion ) "In the year 1888 I appeared before the officers of the Kaumakapili church while they weie in session, and suggest ed the propriety of initiating a series of district meetings for the quickening of Christian life and for the reclamation of the fallen. I had noted the fact of the activity of political leaders in organizing their constituents for the holding of caucuses and public meetings and I felt that the leaders of the church work might well take a lesson from them. I found the pastor agreeable to my suggestion and willing to adopt it, but the others opposed it. I was then teaching a Bible class and it was the members of this class which I had purposed to send out into the districts as leaders of the meetings proposed. Headed off from action in this direction, I continued to instruct my class in the Bible for several months, till I discovered that the light had penetrated the most of thtyr souls and they were ready for Christian effort. On discovering this growth of life in them, I formed my Bible class into the Association for Bible Reading and for the Suppression of Idolatry. This Association was formed on the 9th of September, 1889—My Bible class had its origin in two sermons I preached in Kaumakapili Church at the holding of the usual evening union meeting. The attendance was full on the evenings in which I spoke and the Word seems to have taken effect on the minds of some. On the evening of the Tuesday following the first Sabbath on which I spoke, I was waited on by one Geo. W. Nakaa (then a student in the N. P. M. Institute). I was then living at Puunui. Nakaa begged that he-might become a pupil of mine in the Bible. He offered to repay me with such personal service as he might be able to render. I was pleased with this testimony to the helpfulness of my preaching, and I told Nakaa that I would be glad to form a Bible class, but that I must defer the matter �80 [October, 1892. THE FRIEND till I had moved further into town. A few days after this conversation 1 took up my abode at my present quarters on Kukni Street. On tiie- second Sabbath evening in which I preached at Kaumakapili, I gave notice of my purpose to form a Bible class, and invited such as wished to join to remain after church. Out of the number of those that remain ed the class was formed. The meetings ol the class were at first held at Kaumakapili chtych, hut for the sake of greater seclusion they were later held at my residence, and later still al the chapel at Pukolo, and it was there that the Association was formed. One evening, not long after this formation of the Bible class, one David Keliipio came into tin- room while the class was in session with a purpose to get into a discussion with the teacher. But on listening to the instruction he was disabused of the thought but continued his attendance till the light broke in upon his soul and he became a changed man. Afterwards he showed such ability that when the Association was formed he was chosen its scribe, and when the matter of evangelistic work was taken up, be was made the Assistant Leader in it, Mr. S. 11.

The effort to vote out the new Cabinet which failed on Sept. 16th was renewed October 17th, and carried by a vote of 31 to 15. Seven natives changed their votes. The white vote stood the same as before. The natives had found that the removal of Marshal Wilson, which had been promised them, did not take place. The white opposition members appeared to have cared less for this, than for a somewhat conspicuous element in the Cabinet of hostility to the American Minister, which incapacitated them for securing desired treaty advantages from the United States. That element was believed to have found expression in the personal attacks upon the Minister in the Bulletin. As we write ten days have elapsed since the removal of the Cabinet without a new one being appointed, leaving matters in a deadlock, awaiting Her Majesty's action. She apparently declines to regard a request made her to let some leading member of the opposition nominate a Cabinet, and doubtless insists on having a Ministry who will retain Marshal Wilson in office. There is little or no public agitation about the matter, which will be adjusted somehow. Mr. Walkup is expected here in three weeks with the gasoline issionary yacht Hiram Bingham, on his way to the Gilbert Islands. out HAS HAWAII STABLE GOVERNMENT? to restore the old order.

The people went by railway to the other. The Examiner seems undiscriminating in comparing the Montseirat's work* with that of African slavers. But it is a terribly wrong thing to entice these poor people to a country where they are at the mercy of Spanish masters, and where the climate will be fatal to most of them. We hope that the British authorities now in possession of the Gilbert Islands will forbid any more of the natives to ship to Mexican or Central American ports. Death of Mrs. Sinclair. From the I'. C Advertiser. Under the usual heading will be found notice of the death of Mrs. E. Sinclair, of Makaweli, Kauai. Mrs. S. arrived here with her family from New Zealand, twenty-nine years ago, and having made the purchase of the island of Niihau, for a sheep ranch, from K.mn li.nn. ha IV., for the sum of $l(l,00o, scttkd at Makaweli, which large tract she sub sequently purchased, and where she has lived ever since she arrived here, never having left Kauai except for a short visit to Niihau. She leaves two children, Mrs. Knudsen, now in this city, and a son, Francis Sinclair, now living in Alameda, Cal. Besides the above, several grand and great grand-children survive her, residing here and in California. Mrs. S. was a most remarkable woman, of Scotch birth, and possessed of an active business mind, which enabled her to be the ruling spirit and manager of her large property. She always enjoyed remarkably gnod health in her mountain home at Makaweli. A few weeks since she had an attack of grip from which she recovered, but it left her so weak and helpless that she felt it was of no use to make any effort to recover and prolong life in such a helpless condition. Then calling her grand-children and friends to her bedside, she bade an affectionate farewell to each, closed her eyes and expired at the age of 93 years, with apparently no pain, but with a bright hope of eternal glory in the spirit land.

We regard the establishment of the British protectorate over the Gilbert Islands as probably a great good to those islanders, who need protection from the disorderly and anarchical natives, as well as from evil-minded traders. They have already for the most part abandoned their heathen ways, under the teaching of the missionaries. The people and the Hawaiian missionaries alike seem to have welcomed the British flag. British rule, although on the whole substantially just, is apt to be sometimes too peremptory and arbitrary. Such seems to have been the acton of Capt. Davis in expelling Rev. W. B Kapu, who was formerly a missionary of the Hawaiian Board. He was dismissed by the Board a few years since for a causejiot impugning his moral integrity. He had some land in Tapiteuea, and preferred to remain there He has supported himself partly by trade, in which he encountered the jealousy ot white traders. Meantime he continued to exhort and instruct the people, laboring in harmony with our two missionaries, His expulsion Kaaia, and P.ialubi. to false acowing to have been appears cusations, and is a terrible injury to him and his family. No doubt the Hawaiian Government will make proper ,n ;uiry and seek redress from the British Government. Ponape Reparation Denied. —We learn from the official report of the American Board, that while Spain promises indemnity for Mr. Doane's losses five years ago, reparation is denied "for the destruction of mission property at Ova two years since, on the ground that the missionaries were aiding the natives in their rebellion and the burning of their houses was*a military necessity. Our Goi#:rnme*t refuses to entertain the charge against our missionaries, and insists on due indemnity." It will be remembered that at the time of the rebellion no missionary had heen in Ponape for several months, except the devoted young Miss Palmer in charge of the Girl's Boarding School. To her and her school the insurrection was worse than an eruption of a volcano at her doors. Our missionaries at Ponape, Messrs Doane and Rand, wore themselves out in laboring to induce the natives to submit peaceably to their Spanish rulers, in spite of the reckless oppressions of the latter. Everybody knows that the real reason why our missionaries have been expelled from Ponape is because they were Protestants. �84 MRS. LEAVITT TO RE-VISIT HAWAII. Libel Upon the American Minister. Through Mrs. J. M. Whitney, i'resident of the W. C. T. U., we are glad to be able to announce that Mrs. Mary Clement Leavitt will probabiy arrive here on November 18th. She expects to spend the winter in this country, on account of her health. This distinguished lecturess and agent of the W.-C. T. U., after her well remembered visit here in 1883, spent eight On the 2<>th uit., the editor of the Daily Bulletin was arrested for criminal libel. The offense was the publication of several letters speaking in terms of reproach of His Fxcellency John L. Stevens, Minister Plenipotentiary ami Knvoy Extraordinary. Upon the complaint of Minister Stevens made person, iliy to the Queen, the AttorneyGeneral gave the editor the opportunity of printing an apology, which he dill, but in a form which implied that the Minister was nevertheless to blame. Hence this arrest. We believe this is the first case of the kind in this kingdom. The international law is very strict in such cases, and neither the Minister nor the Government have any option except to secure redress for any attack made upon the former, whether such attack be well-grounded or not. I'lie Minister is exempt from molestation. years in visiting Australia, Japan. China, Corea, Siam, Burmah, Hindustan, Madagascar, theCongo, England and Burope. In these countries she organized 13 1 societies of the W. C. T. U. She bji ke through 131 different interpreters. In these manifold journeyings and labors, Mrs. Leavitt received everywhere the kindest welcome and entertainment. The only exception was last year at Bahia, Brazil, where she was assaulted with large stones by a mob, set on by ecclesiastics, who probably misapprehended her mission. Honolulu *vill again gladly listen to Mrs. Leavitt's wise and gracious speech. A Golden Wedding. Our venerable and clear friends the Hon. and Mrs. Samuel N. Castle, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding, October 13th. Four sons and two daughters were present to congratulate their parents. Mr. Castle was suffering from the effects of a fall, hut was able to see and converse with a large number of guests, who looked in informally. No man has been more intimately connected than Mr. Castle has for 66 years with the business, social and religious interests of these islands, during which whole period his ability and character have made him a leading citizen of Honolulu. He came here when whites were few, when Honolulu was an irregular assemblage of grass and adobe cottages, without trees or shrub bery, when the stately old thiefB lorded it over the land, and the natives in crpe and mala trotted around with their burdens on each end of a pole, glad to »am a real a day. But what do the younger generation care for the fond reminiscences of us old fossils? Thei November,1892. THE FRIEND. The Government Deadlock continues as we go to press. The Queen appears determined to appoint no Cabinet not of her personal choice. The Legislature are as full}' resolved to cast out any Cabinet not reasonably satisfactory to the majority. No one is more anxious than Her Majesty to get a Cabinet into the vacant seats. But she has thus far proved quite unable to liiul four gentlemen who, however willing to accede to the peculiar views and policy of the Queen, are jet prepared to undergo the unpleasant shock of being flung promptly out of their seats by an unconfiding House, who thus appear to have Her Majesty at an extreme disadvantage. The contest now becomes complicated by the fact that Government pay-day has come, and no appropriation has been made for the salaries and dues of the past month, while the House declines to act until a reliable Ministry has been secured. It is the old story of contest between Prerogative and Parliament —which always ends in one way in enlightened countries. of Methodists there are 63,415, and of Baptists, 14,826 j Congregationalists number 6,686. Two-fifths of the entire population of New Zealand are affiliated with evangelical denominations. In respect to morals, the only comparative test we find is in the number of illegitimate children born in 181)1. Their number was :!"> in every 1000. It is 47 in the United Kingdom. As to health, the New Zealand annual death rate is under 10 per cent., or less than half the lowest European death rate. Labor Wages of Japanese on the sugar plantations are officially reported to have fallen from an average of $20 a month, to aboutsl2.6o, or about 40 per cent. Similar reductions have been made in other classes of labor, and alone make the continuance of the sugar industry possible at present prices ol sugar. A Cut in Wages has been made by Portuguese, who have accepted $1.60 a day lor heavy dock labor in unloading ships. $2.00 has hitherto been paid to Hawaiians. There is much destitution among both classes in Honolulu for want of employment. Abundant work at low wages can be obtained on plantations, but as elsewhere, the laborers have flocked to the capital, and planted their homes here. Many, especially Asiatics, are pure vagrants, of whom the town would be well rid, to the great advantage of the more decent and honest classes. Plant.—The Proposed Pumping Special Committee on Water Works recommend an expenditure of $60,01.0 for artesian wells and steam pumps capable ol adding two million gallons a day to the water supply of Honolulu. The annual increase of cost, including interest on outlay, is carefully estimated at $7,(il. per annum. The increase of revenue is estimated at $9,266. The gieat reason for adopting the new system is, that it is the only possible one by which an adequate supply of water can be secured for the city; or by which the residents shall not be reduced in dry months to not more than one-third of the water they require. It is also the only means for extending the water supply to the suburbs. This pumping system is especially needed to furnish an adequate supply of water to extinguish fires. Artesian wells will also-give us pure water instead of the foul fluid scantily supplied in time of drought. We hope that no delay may be experienced in leali/ing these plans. It will be a great day for Honolulu when the water we pay for so heavily, and which is in such exhaustless abundance below us, shall be distributed without stint. r> community heartily sympathise the much esteemed family of R.

Coi.umri's Day, Oct. 21, 1892, the four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America, was commemorated at Oahu College in a very interesting manner, in accordance with the recommen dation of Congress that it should be especially observed in the schools. The leading contribution to the occasion wis a stirring address by Prof. A. B. Lyons, closing with the words, "But my thought goes out with equal admiration and wonder to those voyagers who, centuries before the days of Columbus, without compass or chart traversed in their frail undecked vessels almost the length and breadth of this Pacific Ocean, and while I recognize the Vastly greater 'mportance in the world's history of the discoveries of the great Genoese, I hold not less worthy of honor the Malayan "Hawaii-loa," if that was his name, who made known to the people of Kahi kiku the existence of Hawaii nei. and established here the colon)' which became the Hawaiian people.'' 85 THE FRIEND. grow well, I where bananas and perishable for "Didn't Know She was Loaded." but are too the distant The adage says that a gun is seldom transport required.

I bulky "The Wooing of Kaala" is a Hawaiian drama which was exhibited at the Opera House on the U"-'d. prom photographs of the actors in costumes, which have heen publicly shown, we should judge that the costumes at least possess much novelty. We were familiar near sixty years ago with primitive Hawaiian costumes, but we do not recognize as belonging to that period any of the articles of apparel worn by the Kaala performers. It may be said that the dress of those times was not altogether adapted to the modern stage, although that is not very fastidious. Xo doubt the costumes chosen are well adapted to interest an ordinary audience, who will not know but that they are genuine Hawaiian. The three articles of universal native wear have entirely disappeared from view, except the undo, still worn by men when stripped for labor or fishing. The fti'it was worn by women, the kihei by both sexes. We suggest that the Bishop Museum should be provided with large colored drawings showing these primitive costumes. A majority of oui white people have little idea how the native people looked sixty or seventy \ ears ago. Banana Meal.—This is one of the commodities recommended for Hawaii to engage in as a very profitable product. We have never seen the article, and do not know what place it is adapted to take among food products. Not improbably it might be produced here with profit. There are fertile districts in these islands, distant from seaports, I The Oahu Evangelical Association. The pastors and delegates of the native churches met at Kaneohe, Oct. 6th. and 7th., for their semi-annual session. We make the following excerpts from a report of their proceedings in the Pacific Commercial Advertiser. Steady effort and progress in Christian work has heen evinced. A Commit tee has visited the various churches. Bible schools have been established for instruction of church leaders, with debating meetings for discussion of bible and church topics. Hauula church is as yet provided with no successor for Rev. S. Kapu, removed to Waikapu. Waikane has called Mr. James Davis, a recent graduate of the North Pac. Missionary Institute. At the Institute, a class often is expected, coming from the other islands. The Association voted approval of the efforts of the pastor and people of Waianae in soliciting funds for the extensive repairs of their church; but expressed disapprobation of a class of songs reported to have been sung by their chorus who gave conceits on Kauai. A committee was appointed to investigate the titles to church sites. In discussing prevalent social evils, one delegate thought the Association was transgressing its limits in considering any Government measures, such as the Lottery Bill. He was almost unani moiisly voted down, and the Lottery suitably denounced and petitioned against. Interesting Sunday School concert exercises were held, and a choice Hawaiian collation served. The weather was fine, the people hospitable, and the interest of the exercises well sustained. The young pastor, Rev. M. Kuikahi, did his best. Great improvement has been made in the appearance of the parsonage and premises. There has been much lack of food supplies among the natives of that district. Rev. H. H. Parker has given some of them the free use of two patches for their support. Hilo has a prosperous public library and reading room. Till". Morning Slur was last heard from at Butaritari, July sth. A law has been passed to promote the extermination of Mongooses. The new brick smoke-stack at Makaweli Plantation is I f>o feet high.

When the fox begins to pray, look out for your chickens. The first step in *debt is like the first step in falsehood*. People who run into debt generally have to'crawl out of it. Consciousness of ignorance is a large part of real knowledge. Those who neglect to please, cannot complain to be neglected. A small man becomes really no bigger by standing on a bag of money. A wide-spreading, hopeful disposition is a true umbrella in the storms of life. Brains cannot be gauged by the size of the head, nor eloquence by the extent of the mouth. To seek the redress of grievances by going to law is like sheep running for shelter to a bramble bush. �86 November,1892. THE FRIEND. RECORD OF EVENTS. Oct.

HONOLULU, H. I This page is devoted ta the interests of (he Hawaiian Board of Mission-., and the Kditor, appointed by the Hoard is f—pOntJbU f" 1 ill COQtOfttS* Rev. O. P. Emerson, 87 THE FRIEND. - Editor By letter written Sept. 26th from New York we hear from Mr. Bingham that the publication of '.he Gilbert Is. Bible is progressing at the rate of about twenty-four pages S week. By the end of September one third of the entire Bible was to have been finished. The work at the time of writing had progressed as far as 1 Kings, 1 1:23. The Portuguese Society for Mutual Improvement, which meets in the chapel on Miller street, is to be commended for its progressive spirit. Not only does the society carry out an instructive program at its weekly meetings, it has also contributed quite a little sum of money for the purchase of books. It is hoped that so the nucleus of what may become a valuable library may be secured. It seems that the hoomanamana spirit is manifesting itself in a very open way on the island of Molokai. One of the evangelists of the Association for the Suppression of Idolatry has lately returned from a visit to the south eastern side of the island. He reports at least five different houses where kahunas live that are openly marked as such. The Kahuna has his sign out. On the outside of the entrance it is a colored or red patch of cloth, and on the inside it is a white one. All this is seen in the district of Kaluaaha where is settled, as we had supposed, one of the strong men of the Maui presbytery. Truly some one is needed to wear the mantle of the lamented Bicknell and carry on the work which he began. The fight with the hoomanamana spirit must be carried on to the end. The Society for the Suppression of Idolatry has memorialized the Hawaiian Board, asking it to memorialize the American Board to the end that the Rev. O. H. Gulick may be retained in these islands for the conduct of the work which the Rev. Mr. Bicknell began and carried on so well This the Hawaiian Board consented to do, and the letters have gone on to Boston by the last mail. The Society has also written an urgent request to Mr. Gulick to come to their help if permitted. We understand that Mr. Gulick is not averse to undertaking this work if the way is made clear. Should this devoutly wished for result be achieved, and Mr. Gulick be transferred from the Japan field to Hawaii and to this city, he would find both the Japanese and Hawaiian work open to him. Speaking the language of each people fluently, and having had years of As Paaluhi writes, "the proselytes which experience of missionary work both in they (the priests) claim are those of the Japan and Hawaii,, it is safe to say, heathen party, and they still practice as father Bond has written, "not another idolatry, and are given over to drunkenman on earth could probably be found ness and to the hula." But we trust who would be his equal here in this that these proselytes to the Romish service." Church are only candidates on probation, It is not easy, as we have found to our cost, to bring a white man into immediate and close relations with the native work on these islands. But here is an opportunity not to be lost—an important opening into the field, a position of commanding influence and a man to take it. Should Mr. Gulick be permitted to place himself at the head of this devoted band of workers whom Mr. Bicknell gathered together, we predict that he would soon make its influence felt over the entire group as a cleansing, uplifting, leavening power. and that in time they may be so improved as to be fit for church membership and so become an honor to their teachers. The Rev. W. B. Kapu of Tapiteuea. Last Saturday the Rev. W. B. Kapu, who has been on the Gilbert Islands and away from his native land for nearly thirty years, arrived from San Francisco by the Alameda. He left for the Gilbert Islands as the missionary of the Hawaiian Board, Nov. 7th., 1862. He was accompanied by the Rev. S. Nalimu and was stationed with him on the Island of Tapiteuea. There he labored till 1885, when he was relieved from connection with the Board. Since then he has made a living by trade. During these thirty years he has visited his native land only twice. Though the Hawaiian Board came in time to disapprove of some of Kapu's doings as ill-advised and piejudicial to the work, we have yet to learn that he has wilfully acted an unchristian part, or proved himself disloyal to the people and land of his adoption. And yet here he is among us, sent here as he avers by the British authorities on the island of Tapiteuea, as then represented by H. B. M. Ship of war Royalist. He claims that Capt. Davis' mind was prejudiced against him by enemies. He declares these enemies to be the Romish priests against whom he had spoken at the Sabbath School celebration. Kapu is the owner of lands of considerable value which he has left in the hands of his missionary brethren on the ground and which* it is suggested the Hawaiian Boarß might buy of him for the benefit of the mission. Kapu was accompanied by his wife, who is a Gilbert Islander and his child. The father and mother and sister of his wife came with him as far as Guatemala, and there they were taken as contract laborers. Kapu mentions the fact that he was himself so afraid of being made a contract laborer, that he set his foot on land but once after leaving Tapiteuea, till he took passage on the Alameda at San Francisco for Honolulu. He says that they were well fed on the Montserrat, but that the people suffered from lack proper clothing. Religious services were held twice a day on board the Welcome news has come from TapiIt will be remembered that the good work noticed in our last Annual Report as done in our Central and North Gilbert field, had failed to reach the more southerly island of Tapiteuea. That region seemed to be given up to the hula, to drinking and hardness of heart. But by letters just received and dated July 24th and August 26th of this year we learn that the obdurate people of Tapiteuea are turning toward the Gospel, or at least toward the meeting house and toward the Sabbath and day school. Indeed the Rev. Paaluhi reports many converts and baptisms. He writes, "I verily believe that the power of our Lord has been with us during this year, for there are souls among us whom he has turned to the truth. A large number have been baptized. The study of the Scriptures has been greatly promoted both on the Sabbath and on week days. The Sabbath and Wednesday services are attended by large congregations. The women's meetings are well sustain cd. A union Sabbath School exhibition held on the Bth of July called out a very great company of people, more than filling a commodious structure larger than most any of our Hawaiian church buildings. This was a Sabbath School meeting for the entire island. On January 1, 1893, there is to be another. But the Rev. Paaluhi and his brother worker, the Rev. Kaaia, are not left to themselves in this work of trying to christianize those rudepeople, for Romish priests have at last come upon the ground. Perhaps this is well; perhaps Roman Catholicism may help protestantism as protestantism has helped Roman Catholicism by starting competition and by the gendering of a certain spirit of emulation, which, in this imperfect world of ours, seems a necessity, even in the church. But it is a pity that those Romish brethren are not more careful in their selection of proselytes, for it would seem that they look with tod lenient eyes on practices which our brethren have been accustomed to class as heathen. Montserrat by Mr. Kapu. teuea. �88 November,1892. THE FRIEND. I have seen many skeptics converted. These men said when they were willing to do God's will they found peace, and this is so with all. A skeptic wanted to talk with me. I said,* "When you find out what is right for you to do, will you do it?" He said he would. "What are you doing that is wrong?" "I am cross in my family sometimes." "Will you stop it ?" "Yes." "What else do you do?" "I get 'drunk sometimes.'' "Will you stop it?" "Well, I don't want to talk with you this way. I want to argue about this and that verse in the Bible." "Yes; but I want you to stop doing what is wrong, and do what is right. What difference does it make to a man if this or that part of the Bible differ, so long as he gets drunk and commits other sins?" So I kept him to thepoint. He said he believed in God, but not in the Bible or Jesus Christ. He believed in prayer. "But what do you say in prayer?" "Well, I say that this is a pretty good kind of a world." "Well, that is a good kind of a prayer sometimes, but will you kneel down and say, 'O God, if you can show me what to do, I will do it ?" He prayed that prayer, and said he found that was the best kind of prayer. "Trying to do what I ought to do resulted in my belief in Jesus Christ." And his wife said, "We have had a bonfire of all his infidel books." So men are brought in by trying to do what they ought to do.—B. Fay Mills.

Damon, of revered memory. Rev. Messrs. Cruzan and Oggel published it until June, 1887, sinci: when for five and a half years, the present Editor has supplied its columns. It is the oldest surviving newspaper in the Pacific. Few now living here were familiar with its early issues. For nearly two generations it has brought spiritual cheer to Christian people. It has been distributed in great numbers on ships, and carried to all parts of the world. Originally published in the past with especial view to the seafaring public, it has been of late years the organ of the evangelical churches of these Islands. It is the intention suitably to notice in the January number the Fiftieth Anniversary of Tin-. Frif.nd. Plans are making to issue somewhat later an illustrated jubilee supplement.

Her Majesty, the Legislature and the country are to be congratulated on the happy termination of a serious controversy. The personnel of the new Cabinet is of a high order, and will command the general confidence of the public. Mr. George N. Wilcox the Minister of the Interior, born here, has created a large fortune by his own successful efforts as a sugar planter. Mr. Mark P. Robinson, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is a gentleman of one-fourth Hawaiian blood, and of tlic highest moral and social standing, managing successfully his large inherited wealth. Mr. I'. Cusliman Jones, Minister of Finance, for over thirty years prominent in Honolulu business circles, was for many years at the head of the old house of Brewer & Co., and one of the best known and esteemed men of this city. His Well-proved financial abilities will be of the highest service at this time. Mi. Cecil Brown the Attorney General, is a successful business lawyer, for many years in charge of the great estates of Mr. James Campbell. The four are among our must trusted citizens for ability and integrity. It may be said that we have never had a better Cabinet in this Kingdom. It should be observed that tins favors ble result was not secured at once. After the removal by the House on Oct. 17th, of the Macfarlane Cabinet of five weeks standing, four gentlemen of the Queen's choice were found to face the House as a Cabinet on Nov. Ist. They were promptly turned out after two hours discussion. This determined action settled the question at issue between the Throne and the Legislature, after ten weeks of contention, during which Legislative business had been hindeied, and three Cabinets voted out. The House proceeded promptly to give the necessary power to pay the salaries and other dues of the Government, which had been awaiting the solution of the deadlock. During this whole period of suspense, there was a marked absence of public agitation, indicating the orderly and peaceable temper of our community. met. 89 The Friend. Number 12. We believe that Her Majesty was conscientious in resolutely seeking to prevent any derogation from the rightful prerogatives of the Throne as she understood them. Mrs. Leavitt's Arrival. As anticipated, this eminent Christian worker arrived November 20th, and has made many hearts glad by her presence. Although in much impaired health, she did not hesitate to enter at once actively into the contest against the saloons, and lectured on the evening of the 21st, with her wonted grace and power, in the Y. M. C. A Hall, again delighting us with that fine and telling utterance which we had well remembered. We trust that she nut)' regain such strength during her sojourn, as to cheer us again and again with her words. She conies here much worn in aspect, and with health greatly impaired by the arduous labors and frequent perils of the past eight years, during which she has eight times crossed the Equator. She has chosen these Islands as the most restful and the most cheering of the lands she has visited, and the one where she has met the greatest warmth of Christian affection. Mrs. a»Leavitt is at present the guest of Mrs. J. M. Whitney, president of the W. C. T. U. in this city. Vandalia Memorial.

A Romish Version of Ponape Affairs. An English illustrated monthly organ of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, entitled Catholic Mission, for May 1892, reprints from the Front isttin Annals the following amazing statements about Ponape and the American Missionaries there. We make notes in brackets. "On March 1 Ith, 1887, the six missionaries, with the future Governor and 91 Volume 50, No. 12.] commerce with religion has brought with it many evils; and the boasted civilization of Protestantism has introduced a wide-spread corruption ofmorals. [Ponape was one great brothel of the whalers before the missionaries partially reformed it. The Spaniards debauched it over again.] The population of Ascension Island, which formerly numbered about 15,000, has now dwindled away through criminal excess to 3,000. Better indeed would it have been for the unfortunate people i r Ponape if they had never seen such Christians. To deceive the nations of Europe, the missionaries drew up and published the most lying statistics concerning the material progress made among the inhabitants of Ponape. They made it appear that both in the lower and in the higher branches of knowledge these poor people were as far advanced as many Europeans, They gave it out that the primary schools and scholars were numerous [which was true]; and that there existed a goodly number of colleges well supplied with suitable professors. [!] They stilted that several cloth factories had been established, [Franciscan inventiveness grows by exercise ] and that the natives had been brought to dress like Europeans, and the)' were loud in the praise of the Protestant missionaries and of the beneficial and civilizing influence of their labors. 'Now wasted and destroyed by Spanish barbarity.] "Hence," says FatherLlevaneras, "1 candidly confess, that until the falsehood of these reports was demonstrated before my eyes, I thought Ponape must resemble some of the provinces in Spain. But when I and those who were with me saw the miserable and shameful state of the natives, we could scarcely repress our ffulignation. A school worthy the name could hardly be found; and the few schools that did exist, were simply made of branches of trees interwoven with roots and grass [materials capable of being combined into neat and commodious houses, some of the best of cord being made of pandanus and icie roots.] The scholars were equally scarce, and so ignorant that, on the confession of the Protestant ministers themselves, only six of the natives could write, and very few could read. [The form in which these statement! are made, seems to absolutely convict Llevaneras of deliberate slander.] As to clothing, they are, with few exceptions, much like the people of Yap, almost naked. * They are particularly careful to seize the most fertile lands, and they make it a point to lord it over the miserable natives, and reduce them by flogging and other ill-treatment, to the condition of mere slaves. [There is some more. How much of the above is the writer,s own venom, and how much the rehashed lies of the beachcombers, is needless to discuss.] his subordinates, landed at Ponape or Ascension 1., commonly called by the natives "Not," which, by a decree of the Spanish Government, is to be the capital of the Kasl Carolines. When the natives Saw the vessel appioaching, a number of them came out in small boats to meet it. The natives were accompanied by several Englishmen, Germans, and Americans, residents on the island for the sake of commerce. Two of the Americans were Protest,mt ministers, and excepting these all were delighted at the arrival of the Spanish Governor and the missionaries. No wonder theministers were not pleased; for under the specious pretext of religion, they had assumed the civil administration of the island, [not a shadow of truth in tiiisj and were more solicitous to acquire wealth and increase their worldly comfort than to watch over the souls of the people. They knew that their power as rulers had come to an end. As the missioners on landing could not at once begin the workof evangelizing the natives, some of them set about exploring the island, and looking out for a suitable position to build a mission house and a chapel. They experienced great difficulty in acquiring the language, owing to the great number of its dialects. Our missionaries have never reported but one dialect for the whole island]. The American ministers, who would better be named merchants, have deceived the people in many ways, and not merely led them by false representations into the Protestant communion, but have driven them into it by threats and- the use of the lash. [We do not need to defend the saintly Doane and the devoted Rand from these spiteful charges.] The petty kings and chiefs were often the unwilling tools of this despotism; and their own power was so paralyzed that they could* not dispose of their own Some persons instead of putting off goods without the ministers' sanction. [Same as above.] This mixing up of the old man dress him up in a new shape. 1 �92 MRS. NANCY ANNETTE PIERSON. We have begn favored with a memorial account of this noble pioneer missionary to the Marshall Islands, written by her husband, from which we condense the following statement: Mrs. Pierson, nee Shaw, was born at Delhi, N. V., June 10th, 1828. Shewas educated by her own exertions, graduating at the Delaware Literary Institute, in 1854, She married the Rev. George Pierson, M. D., Sept. 10th, 1854, and sailed from Boston, Nov. 28th, 1854, arriving at Honolulu, in March. At Honolulu, they embarked on the bark liellc, for Kusaie, but cruised on the way for several months among the Gilbert and the Marshall Islands, then unoccupied by missionaries, with their people in native savagery. This weary cruise opened the way for the missions to those peoples. Mrs. Pierson was earnest, active and wise in her intercourse with the natives. An other good was a revival on board the ship, in which many were converted, sailors and officers. No white person had hitherto been allowed to live on the Marshall Is. All wrecked seamen landing there were immediately killed. Dr. and Mrs. Pierson labored on Kusaie for two years with Mr. and Mrs. Snow, but with hearts turned towards the Marshall Is. On the first cruise of the Morning Star, they went there with Rev. E. T. Doane and wife, of Ponape, landing at Ebon, Dec. 5, 1857. Mrs. Pierson had already learned something of the language from Ebon natives at Kusaie. She was the first to teach this people their alphabet. She wrote the first primer in their language. Like all white ladies on Ebon, Mrs. Pierson's health gave way; they left there early in 1860, removing to Brooklyn, or East Oakland, in California, where Dr. Pierson founded the first church of any denomination, and spent ten years at work. Mrs. P. was a zealous and successful laborer in gathering and building up the new church. She there organized an efficient Foreign Missionary Society, vyhich still continues under the President who succeeded her, Mrs. W. H. Hamilton. From Brooklyn Dr. and Mrs. Pierson removed in 1860 to Adel, lowa, and in 1876 to Solomon City, Kansas. In 1884, they went to Henrietta, Texas. There, after many wise and earnest labors, she passed away, after a lingering illness, to her heavenly rest. Mrs. Pierson's life was one of humble, devoted consecration to the Master's service. She passed through many privations and dangers; but with never a fear or anxious care as to the result. She put her life in God's hands, to be used by him and for him. She feared death as little as sleep. She was ever a cheerful, joyous Christian. THE FRIEND. The ladies of Henrietta have sent for a memorial window to be placed in the church.

It now appears by public despatch from Washington, that the Secretary of the Navy approves the course pursued, the Boston being instructed to remain in harbor constantly, the Government fearing to leave American interests unprotected for one day.

This measure passed its second reading Nov. 17th, after very earnest discussion, the SSnd being set for third reading. But little attention had been drawn to this measure. It proposed the licensing under stringent regulations, of places throughout the country, for the sale of beer and wines under 21 per cent, alcoholic strength. It was advocated by its suporters as a temperance measure, likely to put an end to the present wide spread illicit sale of spirits, especially by the Chinese stores. During the intervening days, the opposition of temperance men to the bill became active. Many printed articles were written in the papers denouncing the measure. A powerful ally was found in the eminent lecturer of the W. C.T. U., Mrs. M. C. Leavitt, who spoke on the evening of the '21st, in Y. M. C. A. Hall, powerfully setting forth the destructive effect of the lighter drinks, especially of beer, in England; also their utter failure either to lessen appetite for spirits, or to check illicit selling. Coming up the next day, the Bill was indefinitely postponed by a strong majority. Now, be sure and send Opium License the same way. In the sudden death of Henry W. Mackintosh, late Superintendent of Public Works, the Government has lost a most capable and faithful officer. Thanksgiving Sermons were preached Nov. 21, at St. Andrew's Cathedral, by Rev. Mr. Mackintosh, and at Central Union Church, by Rev. S. E. Bishop. The latter discourse was printed in full in the P. C. Advertiser of the 25th. A serious effort appears to be making by citizens of Tacoma, Wash., to start a steamer in trade with these islands. Tacoma appears to be growing rapidly as a commercial center on Puget Sound.

One is greatly impressed with the Providential leading shown in the establishment of this paper as a leading organ of Christian progress in the PacificThe devout, warmhearted, pushing,practical young Chaplain Damon sees the need of, and the way to, publishing a paper in advocacy of temperance. One thing leads to another, and he promptly appends a department for moral and spiritual help to seamen. The success of his little monthly, and his growing aptitude for the work begin to make it a powerful organ of influence; material flows in upon him, and in two years his paper has grown into a journal richly furnished in many departments. It becomes a leading part of his life work, and remains the most prominent memorial of the beloved and revered Father Damon who not very long ago "fell asleep" among us. Fifty Years Ago. When the vigorous young Chaplain Damon, then newly come, courageously made his modest but hopeful commence- ment of a temperance and religious paper in Honolulu, society here was but beginning to put on aspects of civilization, although there was a small foreign colony, maintained by trade, partly that of supplying whaleships. Let us briefly recall the conditions of that clay one-half century past, when what proved to be so important a factor as The Friend, was added to the formative social forces of Hawaii. A few aged persons still linger among us, who were active participants in those somewhat troublous times. Quite a number of elderly individuals well remember them, who were then children in Punahou, or in the Charity School. Hon. G. D. Gilman of Boston, then in early manhood, has contributed to Thrum's Annual for 1893, some vivid personal reminiscences of those days. He was named in the Friend for May, 1843, as an agent to receive subscriptions. The Island population was then much larger than now,nearly all natives, most. �2 THE FRIEND.

China men were something of a curiosity. The most conspicuous persons were still the stately and ponderous royal chiefs, be fore whom the masses abjectly grovelled, and who impressed even the whites with some awe. Externally, that Honolulu resembled the lovely city of the present, only in the unchanging hills behind it. A town ot grass and adobe cottac.cs, with a few stone structures, dry and treeless, save for a few COCOBUt and hatl trees, it hail no extension, either towards the V.dlev or on the Plain. About the only buildings still existing, were the present McKibbin residence, three old mission houses, with the Stone Church, and the school house behind it. It was a squalid. dusty, and dreary town. There was a comfortable house M worship for the foreigners, the well remembered old Bethel, where Mr. Damon generally had a well-rilled house, at least when whalers were in port. In public affairs, the beginning of a written Constitution had been made in October. 1840, and Dr. Judd had been Prime Minister for six months. The troubles with the brutal Consul Charlton had culminated, ami the Paulet seizure of the government was close at hand. Volume I. of The Friend records the seizure and the restoration. Communication with Europe and the United States was still almost entirely via Cape Horn. Occasional news had begun to arrive by way of the Mazatlan and Vera Cruz route through Mexico. There was no premonition of the grand tide of travel which six years later began its rush across the Isthmus of Panama, and brought with it regular mails for Honolulu only two months on the way. California was then an almost unknown factor in Pacific affairs. There was a little trade with Monterey, whence came cargoes of horses. We never heard of Yerba Buena, or of the Golden Gate. Oregon was far better known by means of the Hudson Hay Co.'s trade in sal mon, lumber, etc., and by early mission aries in transit. We used to hear much of Tahiti and Borabora, where Christianity had long been triumphant. Elsewhere in the South Pacific, savagery still prevailed for the most part, although the noble career of John Williams was in pro- unmitigated horrors. Micronesia was a name unheard of, although we knew of ships cut off by savages at tbe Kingsmill and Marshall Is. New Zealand w.is heard of solely as a land of hideously tattooed savages. Australia was known only by the great Convict depot o{ Sydney, whence debased and wretched estravs occasionally drifted to Hawaii, so that liaole Kikane or "Sydney foreigner," designated whites of the lowest grade. But a great light was even then arising in all those c'en ters now oi joyful Christian civilization. Witii Canton and Macao only in China had foreigners any trade, and for fifteen years longer the seals of Japan remained unbroken. We had a regular trade with Canton, dating back another half century. The third number of Till. FaiEMD, records that most important Treaty of August, is 12, with Great Britain, by which Hongkong was ceded, and the ports of Amov, Fu-chau, Shanghae and Canton were thrown open, and China became free to the commerce of the world. Thus did 'I'm-: Friend unfurl its pages at an era of upspringing and stirring life in this Pacific Ocean, then so reunite from the civilization and commerce and movement of the world. It had a noble mission, to voice the Christian sentiment of these islands, and thus to powerfully aid in creating and establishing that Christian civilization now so dominant in Hawaii, and so influential upon the Pacific world. This high mission of 'I'm. Friend still continues, and was never more important than in these closing years of the century, when the Pacific is all astir; when two mighty English protestant empires are growing into power upon its coasts, and a vast commerce is pushing into action, which shall rival that of the Atlantic. May our littlemonthly so long such a moral and spiritual force in this central station of the Pacific, be maintained in vigor, enlarged, increased in power and usefulness, and continue to bear witness for Christ and His Kingdom, long after we have all passed from earth, like the Fathers who have gone before us.

Above the porch is a noblearched window. 'l'he auditorium is 68 x 70, with wings of additional six feet on each side. The ceiling ascends in an octagon to the ventilator, 24 feet in diameter, and 5S feet above the floor. Opposite the three entrances with their rich koa doors, are tbe pulpit and spacious organ loft and choir gallery. To the pulpit the floor slopes down from three sides.

The ceiling is wainscotted in fir; the other woodwork is redwood, with abundance of paneling. Splendid arched windows fill the upper portions of the east and west sides. Below these are ranges of smaller square windows supplying the copious ventilation needful in this summer climate. All the windows in tbe edifice are filled with richly stained glass, in gorgeous combinations of colors. Immediately in tbe rear of the main building are two large annexes. The first is about Ml x 30, anil contains a large vestibule of its full length, tbe organ loft, the ladies' room IS x 26, and kitchen for church soci.il supplies, also the Sunday school library. Upstairs are also an infant school room 2li x 32 feet, and the pastor's Is feet square. The second and larger annex contains the main Sunday school room which is 75 by 40 with lofty wainscotted ceiling. A gallery 3(1x10 divides the east end of this room into two stories. The portion under the gallery can be separated from the main portion by sliding doors, 'l'he largest window in the structure displays its noble arch in the gable of this room. Entrance doors at each end of* the long vestibule give entrance from Kichard street and from the tear. Two doors iilso lead from the vestibule into the auditorium, giving immediate access thither from the Sunday school From every point of observation the edifice shows architectural symmetry.

During the past month a bill to license the sale of opium in this Kingdom has been passing through successive stages in the Legislature, with a strong pros peet of becoming a law. As their principal reason the supporters of the bill urge that the present prohibitory law has resulted in such a strongly organ ized smuggling of the drug that 17,nu1l lbs. per year are certainly known to be imported; that by this smuggling the police and custom-house forces have become greatly demoralized, the Marshal himself being in public intimacy with the leading smugglers; that the smuggling receives sanction and active support from many of the officers of the law; and that the deadly vice of opium smoking is greatly increasing among Hawaiians as well as Chinese; wherefore the vice should be licensed in order to bring it under control and regulation, and the importation of opium be legal ized in order to prevent the demoralizing crime of smuggling. To remedy these evils, they propose that four opium premises shall be licensed in Honolulu at not less than $15,000 each per annum, and as many more as are called for in Country districts at not less than $10,00.1 each. These joints or dens are to be provided each witii twelve hunks. Only Chinese adults are to be permitted to smoke opium in these places. All other persons are forbidden to use the drug; and the use or posses sion of it elsewhere by Chinese or others is to be criminal. This maintains the stringent features of the present law, by which detection and conviction are facil- itated. Opium is to be imported for the licensees under a duty of $3,00 a pound, light enough to mike smuggling unprofitable, From the duties and the licenses it is estimated that the revenue will be benefitted by not less than $125,000a year, a most important benefit which is lost under the present inefficient attempt at prohibition. The opponents of the bill, on the other hand, maintain that tile present prohibitory law has been substantially efficient in confining the practice of the vice mainly to Chinese habitual smokers, and that the police statistics show that the vice is not increasing among Hawaiians, only 3;') of whom were convicted of the offense during the past two years, to 1015 Chinese; that the support of smuggling by the officers of the law is the result of loose and corrupt administration, and calls for changes m the officials and not in the law; that the new opium dens will be great schools for educating the people in the vice, anil centers for its dissemination, as well as a great moral and physical stench in the midst of the community. That these licensed shops will afford enormously increased facilities for the introduction of the drug, and for its THE FRIEND. illcit distribution among all classes throughout the country; that while such illcit sales will continue to be as now with danger to the distributing agents, there will be no danger to the importers and licensees, for whose interest it will be thus to increase the sales. Most of the seizures of opium now are made on vessels, or in transmission from vessels, or at some chief depot of opium on shore. The new law will protect all these from interference from the law, leaving only the secret and ramified distribution of the drug to be attacked at the greatest disadvantage. They also oppose the bill upon the higher moral grounds which is framers characterize as sentimental. They urge that it is as wrong to destroy Chinese by this poison, as it is to destroy Ha waiians, and that the proposed government sanction of the vice will farther debase the moral sense of the people, while its public exhibition will incite Hawaiians to participate, and so dig deeper the grave of this people. Mrs. M. C. Leavitt contributes from her personal observations of the destructive effects of opium in India and China, where every missionary is thoroughly hostile to tlie traffic. We do not question the sincerely good intentions of the committee who gave the bill its present form, nor of many of those who support it. They have cer tainly taken great pains to guard against the extension of the vice to Hawaiians. Hut we believe that the effect of the system would inevitably be largely to victimize Hawaiians,as well as Chinese. The Chinese contribute a very large and influentialelement in the population of Hawaii nei. The future social condition of Hawaii is to be deeply and radically affected by the intelligence and the moral condition of our Chinese fellowcitizens. Shall they be demoralized by opium, or shall they he uplifted and purified by Christianity ? It will be impossible for us deliberately to relegate our Chinese brethren to the dominion of this Opium devil, and not have our own children defiled and scorched by the fiend. To forget or deny that every Chinaman is a man and a brother, is to invite the penalty of God's established laws. We have the undoubted right to protect ourselves against an injurious or pernicious immigration; but we must not discriminate against Asiatics as the Devil's rightful prey, or we may find ourselves participants in their doom. We might as well expect to escape cholera or small-pox, if we left the Chinese quarter of the city to become infected./ The brotherhood of men inevitable asserts itself for evil, if it he not maintained for good.

This honored citizen of Honolulu has been taken from us after a long and severe illness. Mr. Austin had resided in the Islands fifteen years, having joined his brothers here in 1877. Born in Saratoga, he enlisted as a private in the 78th N. Y. regiment, at the opening of the war, gradually rising to its colonelcy. Col. Austin was Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1888 to 181)0, in the Thurston Cabinet. Although not practicing much in the courts, his legal advice was much valued. He leaves two children, Mrs. Oscar White and Miss M. Austin, by whom he was greatly beloved as a tender and faithful parent. The funeral was largely attended at the family residence at Waikiki. Horner's Banking Bill was finally defeated by a two thiids majority. This relieves much serious anxiety, as the native members showed a strong disposition to support the measure. We have the highest esteem for the author of the bill, as a zealous promoter of Reform. He believed that he was promoting a great and valuable financial reform, which would relieve the people of heavy burdens of interest, and would make money abundant. We deeply regret that he should have so earnestly adopted what we believe to be a pernicious financial delusion. We trust that Mr. Homer's valuable services may long be enjoyed by the Hawaiian public in more useful work than advocating fiat money. Bill passed, we regret on December 31st, by a majority, who believe that its provisions The Opium to say, will protect all but Chinese from the spread ofthe vice. Messrs. Kauhane, losepa, \V. ().

There are four fine photogravures, including a new and good one of the Cjueen. 50 pages are occupied by very full statistical tables, well indexed for reference It being the jubilee year of the restoration of Hawaiian Independence by Admiral Thomas, 3.3 pages are devoted to that event and the provisional cession preceding it, seven pages of very lively reminiscences of the event being supplied by Senator G. D. Oilman of Boston. Forty-eight pages more are occupied by valuable articles, several of which are very enter taining reading to all persons interested in these islands. Of material value are those on Harbor Improvements, the Bishop Museum, the Historical Society, Water Works, and Possible Industries in Hawaii. The volume also contains much information of special value for Tourists. Tbe price is 75 cenls. The Chinese Church on Christmas presented a most interesting spectacle, made especially so. that it was their first occupancy of the large new addition to their building. This was not qilite completed, being still unpaint cd. It was filled, however, by the scholars of the Chinese mission schools, who exhibited in various songs and recitations in English and Chinese. Brilli antly adorned and illuminated, in front of the organ, stood an immense Christmas tree, a young lir. A crowded audience of both Christian and other Chinese men and women, mostly parents of the pupils, listened with deep interest. A least of ice cream and other goodies followed in the basement, where all the 350 scholars were fed. eve The Japanese Church under the lead of the new pastor, the Rev. Mr. O-ku, held their festival on Tuesday evening in the Lyceum. A tree similar to, but a little smaller than at the Chinese festival, was displayed. There were several songs and addresses in Japanese, which were much applauded. A sword dance followed, with a farcical performance succeeding. Then came a distribution oi an immense variety of knicknacks, curios, fans, umbrellas, etc. Two hundred numbered lamp-spills were handed round, and each number brought a present. The church and the people earned great credit in making their Christmas such a success. Perhaps twenty whites were present, many of them teachers in this Sabbath school. The Portuguese Sunday School were not behind the others in their display. Mr. Fmmeluth had donated to them also one of his beautiful fir trees. The little church was a bower of palms and ferns. A fine programme ofsongsand exercises was carried out in English and Portuguese, chiefly by the young folks. A native dramatic talent was very noticeable, and sonorous Portuguese seemed to lend itselfbetter to song and oratory than the strange Asiatic tongues. There was a generous distribution of candies, fruits and nuts to the children. The greatest credit is due to Pastor and Mrs. Snares, and to their assistants in the mission school, as well as to the friends who aided ill the festival. A New Brick Chimney, 125 feet high has just been completed at Kohala Co.'s Mill. It forms a fine landmark. WilHeliveuptoit?-Mr J.W. Kalua is probably the ablest and brightest Hawaiian living of pure blood. Everybody likes him. He has lately been ill at his home in Wailuku, and the other day was reported to be dead. The Legis lature, of which he had formerly been one of the most prominent members, adjourned for half a day out ol respect for his memory. Various bodies passed resolutions of eulogy and condolence. His character was highly extolled. Now, to the general joy, he proves likely to live and serve his country for man)' years. Mr. Kalua was a favorite pupil of ours at Lahainaluna. He was then, and is now, an earnest Christian. Unhappily, many years ago he fell under the then deadly influence of the Palace, and acquired a drink appetite, which caused several periods of lapse from the high and worthy living that upon the whole has characterized his career. It is profoundly to be hoped that the eulogies he has now received will contribute to strengthen his purpose to lay hold of God's grace, and continue to live a wholly worthy life, and do honor to his country and his people. We believe that Mr. Kalua will live up to what has so affectionately been said of him. MakwMem li ade a most successful trial Dec. 15th. Grinding is expected to begin January 15th. This is, we believe, the best appointed, if not the largest establishment in the Islands. By means of a splendid hydraulic system, it utilizes the noble Hanapepe river on Kauai, to irrigate one of the finest tracts of land on these Islands. Henry P. Baldwin is chief of the concern. Wh i. Duty on Sugar he restored? Our people are nourishing strong hopes that the Free Trade Democrats will restore at least a part of the duty which tbe Protectionist Republicans retnovjd. It is quite possible, however absurd it may sound. I r it happens, Hawaiian sugar receipts will gain about $2,800,000 per annum for every cent per pound of duty restored, which will bean immense relief to our financial straitness. Mr. Cleveland is reported as favoring it. Per contra, will be the impossibility of replacing the sugar duty without abrogating America's valuable Reciprocity treaties with Cuba, Brazil and other countries. It will also require of the Democratic statesmen immense audacity to restore dear sugar to the masses of the common people, on whom the Republicans conferred the blessing of cheap sugar. They will hardly dare face the storm of hatred and ridicule that would ensue. Nothing could more quickly teach the masses which party were their real friends. Let us not be sanguine as to a change. Crater lightwas lately so strong Halema'uma'u that books could be read by it at the Volcano House, two at miles distant. Mokuaweoweo has also been displaying alarm signals at the summit of Mauna Loa. Dedication of Central Union Church Edifice. Our last issue recorded the farewell exercises in the old and much loved house on Fort street, November 27th. On Sunday morning, the lib of December, the congregation assembled lor the first time in their new and beautiful house. The audience was crowded from floor to gallery. A large number stood, and many were turned away. A careful count made the whole number present 1037. Her Majesty the Cjueen was present, and many Hawaiians.

Dedicatory Hymn 111. Benediction. •A. Postlude. We give an abstract of the addresses. Rev. W. IL Oeeson said that the avowed purpose in building this housewas to make a spiritual honie for the people of Honolulu. Christ came to preach the gospel to the poor. Our churches must wear the same aspect o< hospitality that gathered the multitudes about the feet of Jesus. It is this spirit that opens this house wide to-day. No man will willingly stand outside Heaven because it is too beautiful within for his poverty of aspect. The beauty and comfort and peace of the house of (rod is yours, whether you have tasted of the hope immortal, or are only in the border land of religious belief. It welcomes even the disbelieving soul. The religion of Jesus is vitalizing power, bringing strength, comfort, help into all hearts. Every class of men needs the helpful gifts of the spirit of Jesus. Let this house be the home of the people in the spirit of Jesus' example, and Honolulu may well bless the day that its stones were laid and its doors opened wide. Rev. O. P. EmBRSON said that the Child life was what lent distinction to the Home. So was it also in the church home. The house needs the children. Let them flock in and there will be no chill in this great stone house. Their sweet presence will soften and warm our hearts. They are to he the congregation of the future, as the leading element of to-day's congregation were the children of thirty years ago. Still more do the children need the house, here to find spiritual life, here to be born anew, here to confess Christ, here to he brought for baptism. The doors of this house are open for the children with warmest welcome. Rev. Dr. C. M. llvde said that all the appurtenances of this building mark it as a house of worship. It is not a temple for stated performance of sacred rites. While embodying the churchly ideal, it is not mainly an ecclesiastical structure, but "the Lord's house,'' where his Church convene to praise and commune with the adorable One. The arrangements of this house also contemThe plate instruction and fellowship. name "Central Union" embodies the idea of convenience and fellowship. It is sometimes derisively called "the missionary church." And this building does stand as a memorial of those holy missionary fathers and mothers to whose work we succeed. In this building we have lovingly given for our Lord's use our richest and best. Yet they are worthless gifts if only substitutes for personal love and helpfulness. Whoever enters this house should feel at once that it is the spiritual home of a live church. It must be a house of prayer for al! sorts and conditions of men. All our hearts and hands must be engaged in the salvation and sanetification of sinful humanity. We can have in this work Apostolic success, more important than Apostolic succession, only as we received the promised powerfor service by the gift of the Holy Ohost. May that Pentecostal gift make our motto "Christ in us, tbe hope of glory, and we in Christ, for the uplift ing of the world into the light and love The Evening Services. Every seat was occupied in tbe even- ing, about '.100 being estimated as present although some rain was falling. The brilliant electrolier was turned on at 7:30, trebling the illumination.

And with equal honor would he- accept that cheap little chapel built by Japanese converts at Hilo with such joyful sacrifices. We have fittingly made our gift outwardly more choice than they could do. As a bride brings to her husband some scarf of rich adorning with her sweetest love, so let us bring this beautiful edifice to our Lord with our dearest affection. His answering bless ing will come in inspiration, in power. He will keep this house from becoming a place of cold, stately worship. He will make it the home of melting Christian experiences, of mighty awakenings, ol varied and outre.idling planning lor the work of his Kingdom, and of munificent distribution of our resources. And he will make every lowly and sinful one feel through us a full welcome into this house of the pardoning, comforting, loving Shepherd of their souls. The transfer of the church to the Trustees was made by the Hon. Alex ander Young in behalf of tbe Building Committee,, in words expressive ol satis faction in, after long waiting, being snugly housed in the new church, and of profound gratitude lo God, in making us the possessors of such a noble edifice. "With this thought in mind I now. on behalf of the Building Committee, to whom was entrusted the erection anil completion of this new home of ours, deliver over tbe premises and keys to the Trustees of the Central Union Church of Honolulu." Hon J. (). Carter, for the trustees, responded in a few suitable words, accepting the keys, and delivering them to the Pastor. The church and congregation then rose and joined with the.Pastor in a most impressive dedicatory service, both responsive])' and unitedly. A dedicatory hymn was then sung. an excellent composition by Mr. Philip mittee. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., representing the Sunday School.

Benediction. Postludc. Hon. Alexander Young mentioned with especial praise Mr. Lishman, the chief builder and Mr. Mutch m charge of the woodwork. He added praise of the many workmen lor the workmanlike handicraft exhibited and the faithful work not exposed to view. Unlike Alexander the Great, the building committee would not sit down and cry because there is not another church lor them to build right off. The next thing is for the church to go into committee ol the whole, and work and pray for the upbuilding of the church and congregation. 'These stones now hewn and fitted into arches and jambs and ashlar and lintels and corbels, were lately lying in unshapely lumps and ledges; and there are many men and women in Honolulu true at heart, who can with proper labor he brought in to build up this church.

Let the house built grandly for God be as free to all as God's pure air m the sunlight of 11. heaven. Mr. F. J. Low key gave a history of the building. 'The choice of the lot was adopted Jan. 9, 1889. The architect Mi. Pot-dwell visited Honolulu in November following. On June 2, 1890, the bid for tbe foundation was accepted and the contract satisfactorily carried out by Mr. F. Harrison.

Mutch in charge of the wood work, and Mr. Geo. 'Turner of the painting. The work has been most conscientiously executed, and the church has a building which in point of construction could hardly be excelled. 145 1 cubic yards i>{' stone,were used There are 225 in the superstructure electric lights in the building. $60,0<HJ have been expended for labor. One or more of the committee have been almost daily on the premises. Hon. P. C. JONES said if tbe church was indebted to the contributors for this building, tbe latter are indebted to the faithful Building Committee. Among the contributors are those of other denominations, without whose aid our work would have been greatly curtailed. The largest amount is from members of this congregation, whose only regret is that they have not been able to give more. The church was planned in a time ol great prosperity, whose failure leaves us in debt. 'This elegant structure will be a monument to brother Lishman. Mr. G. D. Oilman has given a pulpit bible. He was a member of the Bethel church fifty years ago. My uppermost thought is the very great responsibility that God has placed upon us. First, for tile debt. A large sum is already pledged for it. Second, to assuie a large amount for church expenses. 'Third, to till these seats with families and withyoung people who have no other church home. "CJuit you like men, and be strong.'' Prof. A. B. Lyons said, last week was for retrospect; now we are called to look forward. How make this new home a center of every inspiring and beneficent influence ? On us your Standing Com mittee rests a great responsibility in planning for this. But we are sure ol your earnest prayers, and that your zeal will outrun our own. Our fust task is to throw off this burden of debt, Let us say, we will do it. I hope and believe that by January Ist, we shall have in sight the means of paying every dollar. But the Lord's work calls for more than money. To-day's THE FRIEND. 1.1 dedication means personal consecration ofourselves to that work.

Miss MABEL Wing said that the Christian Endeavor thought, by a simple organization, sets the energies of the young people at work through the channels where the activities of the church are already directed. 'There are various 'The business standing committees. meetings follow parliamentary order. In tbe prayer meetings the young people gain confidence. 'They speak with earnestness and humility.

Many of them worked patiently to help pay for the finial of the spire, of which our Society assumed the cost. MRS. W. W. Haii. spoke for the Ladies* Society. It being largely woman's province to gather up tbe ends, we have supplied the cushions and carpets, contributing nearly $1,500. We have still to fit up the little parlor. Without wishing to bring this congregation under the malediction, "Wo to them that are at ease in Zion," we would make the worshippers comfortable. We extend heart) thanks to all who have helped us, especially to the restaurateurs, who have bestowed on us substantial gifts, while we were "poaching on their preserves." "Woman's finest power is always social. It is as religious to bring a lonely spirit to the touch of human sympathy, as to send a boy to the missionaries.'' We hope to make this church a larger social power. Let us look upein our beautiful church as a home, and try to make it a home for the homeless and lonely in our midst. Tim Hawaiian Churches Rev. H, 11. Parker. The Founder of Christianity, on the eve of his passion, expressed the desire that the representatives of Christianity throughout the world might be one. If ever there was a land where the transforming power of Christianity has made its mark it is in these fair islands of the sea. But we seem now to have arrived at that stage of our growth where we need to diligently cherish the spirit of unity which Christ so earnestly speaks of. The forces that surround us are full of discoid, and the tendency of our times, in these little islands at This least, is toward disintegration. condition of things is easily accounted for. We are coming nearer to the influences of the great sweeping tide of religious and social progression that has been one of tbe distinctive features of the nineteenth century. The old landmarks are passing away. New issues are com- Toward that horizon, whose distance in the past lent enchantment to the view, he is now rapidly advancing and it is portentous of changes. He knows not what the issues will be. And it is very natural that he should feel disturbed. Then we have a large heterogeneous foreign population with its distracting elements. It has come to us from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south With each nationality has come its own peculiar social and religious habits and customs. And so it has come to pass that in this beautiful land the progressive Christian civilization of modern times and the heathen civilization of the Orient with the cist off remnants of a defunct paganism have found a field of conflict. Not a day too soon did the pioneersof the work in these islands begin to build. 'They have laid the foundations well. It is for us who now stand in their places, and for those who may come after us in their time, to add our tribute of service to the one and the same cause. The world may lose sight of those early workers and their humble disciples, as it will lose sight of us, but the inspiration which they breathed into the life of this land and the institutions they planted here will never die. Be it ours in this day to perfect as well as we are able to do it the work of those wht> have gone befoie us. Let the life and the life's work forever witness to the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of the race. Trie faith of tbe Hawaiian Christian is very simple and very beautiful. He simply looks up to God as a little child looks up to the face of its father. He reciprocates love with fidelity. He loves those who hold to a common faith with himself. And if he is not betrayed or deceived he will continue constant to the end. He rejoices with you to-day. I respectfully tender to you the happy greetings of all Hawaiian Christians in this city. They rejoice with you in the completion of your new and beautiful house. I bespeak for them a reverent and respectful demeanor when they shall unite with you in the worship of God. Breaking of Sunday School Jugs. 'This took place in the new School Dec. 15th. Supt. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., knocked the heads off from 57 jugs, which had been swallowing the coins of their respective class owners for several months. Each class has a motto which was nicely lettered on a black board, and the contents of c ich jug recorded opposite. $491.72 was the total, $144.25 of which came from the infant school room. The choir jug yielded $52.35 for the benefit of the organ fund. The balance is for furnishing the school room.

The following is a list (probably in complete), which has been sent on of the names of those in the islands, who have been appointed members of the Advisory Council of the World's Congress Auxiliary of the World's Columbian Exposition on Religious' Congresses. In Honolulu, Oahu, Revs. E. G. Beckwith, D.D., C. M. Hyde, D.D., VV. H. Oleson 7 and (). P. Emerson; also Prof. VV I). Alexander and Pies. F. A. Hosmer. In Paia, Maui, Rev. T. E.

She comes to do work among ie women, and has already been introuced to her field. We believe that nere is not a more hopeful line of work nan this which has been placed in her ands, for it concerns the family life of very important class of our population, fa people who are building houses and saring children, who rank among the lightest of those attending our schools. Word has come from the rooms of the A. B. C. E. M., that the request of the Hawaiian Board for the retention of the Rev. O. H. Gulick among us as a missionary worker, cannot be granted. He cannot be spared from Japan It is though that Mr. Gulick's leave f absence be extended six months, and lat he use the added time for work mong us. The Hawaiian Board has ccepted thislimited oft'erof Mr. Guiick's service, and after his visit to the States, whither he goes in February, he will probably return and be with us the alloted time. (ermit ed Another Case. A kahuna named Pohano came to the living house of a woman named near the Roman Catholic burying ground street, and said to her, "1 met ur spirit together with two other spirits (of dead persons) at the corner of Maunakea and King streets, and they have led me to your house." " But,' she, "you are a stranger to me." c replied, " 1 saw your spirit beckong me to come in, and so I have "nic" At this, the woman was frightled, because it is a popular belief among the natives, that the spirit does sometimes leave the body and wander off, and that when this occurs it is a premonition of death, and that death will surely come unless relief is found by the hand of some kahuna, and the PKing (.id spirit can be made to cease its wander- were anticipating eagerly the general ings.

A WONDERFUL WEEK. that of January, from the 1 Ith period of strange, startling, impressive experiences. No like period, so important, so exciting, so charged with momentous events, has existed since foreigners resided in Honolulu. It was a history making epoch, witnessing the unheralded and shameful collapse of the once noble and proud Hawaiian monarchy, and initiating, as we believe, a glorious new era of freedom and honor for Hawaii. Startling events leaped forth in rapid and unforeseen succession, each eclipsing the one before it. They came in a wonderfully dramatic way. First, in the midst of political calm and hopefulness, there struck us like a cyclone the shame and consternation of the passage of the Lot cry Bill. There followed the shock of the overthrow of our trusted and hon ored Cabinet, quickly replaced by one formed from the opium and lottery gang at the palace. Next, the Lottery Hill became law in defiance of bitterest pro tests, just as the protecting lios'.on steamed in with the much wanted American Minister. The stately ceremony of prorogation followed, deserted by resentful citizens, It was to the 19th; a day of ardent, hopeful prayers, and of prudent, yet daring, counsels. Monday came, with the Queen's terrified and abject retraction, followed by the mighty but orderly mass meeting of 1300 resolute citizens, who briefly and sternly spoke their endorsement of the Committee of Safety. Then all unexpected, near nightfall, came the sudden rush of the Boston's launches with her 150 men, and their rapid march to their stations, quelling our households' disquiet and fear of night disorders, and suggesting America's friendly care. Next opened the fateful Tuesdayanxious day of unknown perils and prob able battle—when Royalty ceased to be; when rifle companies sprang as from the ground; when our Provisional Government of trusted leaders, moved suddenly to the (iovernment House unat tended and in great peril, and there established themselves, and seized the reins; when expected bloodshed came not, and our patriotic sons and brothers remained unhurt; and when the Palace and the Station House were tamely surrendered. On Wednesday came the surrender of the heavily garrisoned Barracks: the recognition of the new Government by all the Foreign Ministers and Consuls; the announcement of the next morning's departure of the Claudine 9 NUMHER 2. and everybody's hurried preparation of mails. The last dramatic scene was the sailing of the Claudine on Thursday, with the gallant five followed by prayers and tears and ardent hopes, and beyond doubt, by the bitter curses of kahunas and lottery pirates. That was the longest week we ever knew. There was a strange illusion as to lapse of time. One great excitement superseded another daily, each crowding and burdening the mind like a week of lesser events. The event of two days ago seemed to belong to a distant past. Our trusted P. C. Jones had a vacation of just four days from the Finance Office; it was hard to convince oneself it was not a month. Many persons experienced this peculiar illusion. It has been a grand thing to pass through all this exciting and exalting experience. It is a peculiar honor to aid in recording these glorious eventsOur noble citizens of American and European blood have once more paid homage and devotion to the lofty cause of Liberty and Progress. And our gra. cious God has once more, with a peculiar care and protection, blessed and smiled upon this young and favored nation of Hawaii, Native Sentiment. It is doubtless premature to forecast confidently what shape the opinions of native Hawaiians will take, as to the political change now in progress. No doubt the majority of them are now governed by their long existing jealousy of white ascendancy, and are dissatisfied and sullen. We have, however, personal knowledge of some of the best and wisest among them who rejoice in the removal of the terrible incubus of Palace influence, with its debauching and heathenizing effect. These men also enthusiastically welcome the prospect of union with America. We are reliably informed that this feeling is growing and extending among the native people. After the final arrangements have been concluded, and the new form of government has been definitely settled, we anticipate satisfaction among the natives, and their cordial cooperation with the with Commissioners to Washington; whites in public affairs, �10 Events Before the Revolution. The first public indication of dangerous intentions was the (Queen's strange deity in signing the Appropriation Bill, which had passed the House December 90th Over $200,000 were awaiting immediate disbursement from the treasury, for which the community were impatient. It was signed on the 4th, immediately followed in the P.M. by an attempt to vote out the able and excellent Cabinet. This failed, and public confidence revived, although it soon appeared that the (jueen herself had made the effort. Rumors on the 9th of an attempt to revive the Lottery bill were received with general derision, which gave place on the 10th to dismay, when the bill was brought in and rushed suddenly through its second reading, nearly one third of the members being absent. The feeling rose to consternation on the I Ith, when the bill finally passed, 2;> to 20. Only one white man voted for it, the Queen's special agent. Heavy bribes were used. The city was filled with shame at our harboring an infamous piratical combination which Louisiana had vomited out with painful throes; with dread at the enactment of a thing so hostile and insulting to our great and friendly neighbor; and with horror at the prospect of being bound for twenty five years under the yoke of a foul and tyrannous corporation which would control our politics. At the first introduction of the bill in Atlgoet, confidence had been felt that if neceteary, effectual protest would be made by the American Minister to a law so hostile to the United States. Minister Stevens, however, seeing the session apparently at an end, and the attempt to displace a satisfactory Cabinet defeated, had relaxed his vigilance and gone with the Cruiser Boston for a ten days visit to Hilo. The Cjueen had promptly seized the opportunity of his absence to consummate the infamy. Her scheme was to profit by the influence of the Lottery to resist annexation tendencies, while enjoying the lottery subsidy of $500,000 a year. A foregone conclusion after this was the ousting of the Ministry, by the same set of members, now thoroughly in line on the side of evil. This was done on Thursday the L2th, two more white men joining the natives, to make the necessary majority of -5. The Cjueen had her new Cabinet ready, and sent them into the House the next day. Meantime the Chamber of Commerce met and sent the Cjueen a unanimous and almost violently energetic protest against her signing the Lottery Bill. They had little hope, as her true intentions, hitherto dissembled, were now becoming manifest. A pall of unbroken gloom occupied the political sky. The next morning, Saturday the 14th, just as the Boston was steaming into port with the American Minister, the Cjueen signed the Lottery THE FRIEND. [February, 1893. allow him to be removed. Although the Marshal now states that he is opposed to the Queen's proposition, he also states that if the final issue arises between the Queen and the Cabinet and people he will support the Queen.

FRIEND. At 2:.i0 I.M. of January 17th, the Committee of Safety, with the gentlemen selected for the new administration of affairs, entered and took possession of Aliiolani Hale without resistance, and from its front entrance H. K. Cooper Esq., Chairman of the Committee id Public Safety, lead lb J following proclamation : Proclamation. In its earlier history Hawaii possessed Constitutional Government honestly and economically administered in the public interest. 'Pile Crown called to its assistance as advisois able, honest and conservative men whose integrity was unquestioned even by their political opponents. The stability of the Government was assured ; aimed resistance and revolution uothought of; popular rights were respected, and the privileges of the subject from time to time increased and the prerogatives of the Sovereign diminished by the voluntary acts of the successive Kings. With very few exceptions this state of affairs continued until the expiration of the first lew years of the reign of His late Majesty Kalakaua. At this time a change was discei liable in the spirit animating the chief executive ami in the influences surrounding the Throne. A steadily increasing disposition was manifested on the part of the King to extend the royal prerogatives; to favor adventurers and ptisons of no character or standing in the community; to encroach upon the rights and privileges of the people by Steadily increasing corruption of electors, and by meanß of the power and influence of office holders and other corrupt means to illegitimately influence the elections, resulting in the final absolute control of not only the executive ,u\i\ legislative, but, to a certain extent, the judicial departments of the government in the interest of absolutism. This finally resulted in the revulsion of feeling and popular uprising of lv>7, which wrested from the King a large portion of his ill gotten powers.

The companies for such service as might be King willingly agreed to such proposirequired. At 5 P.M. an aimed force- tion, expressed regret for the past, and landed from the U. S. S. Boston as a volunteered promises for the future. Almost from the date of such agreeprecautionary guard. a 11 ment and promises, up to the time of his death, the history of the Government has been a continual struggle between the King on the one hand and the Cabinet and the Legislature on the other, the former constantly endeavoring by every available form of influence and evasion to ignore his promises and agreements and regain his lost powers. This conflict upon several occasions came to a crisis, followed each time by submission on the part of His Majesty by renewed expressions of regret and promises to abide by the constitutional and legal restrictions in the future. In each instance such promise was kept until a further opportunity presented itself, when the conflict was renewed in defiance and regardless of all previous pledges. Upon the accession of Her Majesty Liluiokalani, for a brief period the hope prevailed that a new policy would be adopted This hope was soon blasted by her immediately entering into conflict with the existing Cabinet who held office with the approval of a large majority of the Legislature, resulting in the triumph of the Queen and the removal of the Cabinet. The appointment of a new Cabinet subservient to her wishes and their continuance in office until a recent date gave no opportunity for further indication of the policy which would be pursued by Her Majesty until the opening of the Legislature in May of 1892. The recent history of that session has shown a stubborn determination on the part of Her Majesty to follow the tactics of her late brother, and in all possible ways to secure an extension of the royal prerogatives and an abridgment of popular rights. During the latter part of the session the Legislature was replete with corruption; bribery and other illegitimate influences were openly utilized to secure the desired end, resulting in the final compltte overthrow of all opposition and the inauguration of a Cabinet arbitrarily selected by Her Majesty in complete defiance of constitutional principles and popular representation. Notwithstanding such result the defeated party peacefully submitted to the situation. Not content with her victory, Her Majesty proceeded on the last day of the session to arbitrarily arrogate to herself the righ* to promulgate a new Constitution, which proposed among other things to disfranchise over onefourth of the voters and the owners of nine tenths of the private property of the Kingdom, to abolish the elected upper House of the Legislature and to substitute in place thereof an appointive one to be appointed by the Sovereign. The detailed history of this attempt and the succeeding events in connection therewith is given in the report of the Committee of Public Safety to the citizens of Honolulu and the Resolution adopted at the mass meeting held on the �12 [Februay, 1893. THE FRIEND. 16th inst., the correctness of which report and the propriety of which resolution is hereby specifically affirmed. The constitutional evolution indicated has slowly and steadily, though reluctantly and regretfully convinced an overwhelming majority of the conservative and responsible members of the community that independent, constitutional, representative and responsible government, able to protect itself from revolutionary uprisings and royal aggression is no longer possible in Hawaii under the existing system of government. Five uprisings or conspiracies against the Government have occurred within five years and seven months. It is firmly believed that the culminating revo lutionary attempt of last Saturday will, unless radical measures are taken, wreck our already damaged credit abroad and precipitate to final ruin our already overstrained financial condition; and the guarantees of protection to life, liberty and property will steadily decrease and the political situation rapidly grow worse. In this belief, and also in the firm belief that the action hereby taken is and will be for the best personal, political and property interests of every citizen of the land We, citizens and residents of the Hawaiian Islands, organized and acting for the public safety and the common good, hereby proclaim as follows 1. The Hawaiian Monarchical system of Government is hereby abrogated. 2. A Provisional Government for the control and management of public affairs and the protection of the public peace is hereby established, to exist until terms of union with the United States of America have been negotiated and agreed upon. 3. Such Provisional Government shall consist of an Executive Council of four members, who are hereby declared to be: S. B. Dole, : : J. A. King, P. C. Jones, W. O. Smith: Who shall administer the Executive Departments of the Government, the first named acting as President and Chairman of such Council and administering the Department of Foreign Affairs, and the others severally administering the Department of Interior, Finance and Attorney-General, respectively, in the order in which enumerated, according to existing Hawaiian Law as far as may be consistent with this Proclamation ; and also of an Advisory Council which shall consist of fourteen members who are hereby declared to be: S.

We older residents and those of us born here long held it in high honor and loyal reverence. It was the indispensable center of loyal allegiance to authority for a. weak and ignorant population, incapable of uncontrolled self government. Wise, capable, and upright foreigners long led in the King's councils. At home and abroad, the Royal government commanded the highest respect and confidence. The fatal change began with Kaniehameha V., who favored idolatry and relaxation of morals, but whose native sagacity followed judicious political counsels. With Kalakaua, total pollution and misrule came to pervade Court and Government, until partially arrested by the mild revolution of 1887. The end of the once noble monarchy has been, alas, in darkness and shame. But Hawaii thanks God for the large, vigorous, healthy, social and political life that ensures stability and security in unimpeded progress.

This decided action seemed to terrify the Queen's supporters, and the rest of the proceedings were unresisted, save some demur and delay in the surrender of the Station House and Barracks, at both of which were well armed forces of native policemen and soldiers. Large numbers of able bodied natives thronged the streets, hut no effort seemed made to organize them for action. The absence of fighting and bloodshed is matter of the greatest satisfaction. The natives have shown no disposition to resist the new government, although regarding it more or less with disfavor as a government by whites alone. With a very brief interruption, they have all peaceably resumed their usual avocations. The news of the Revolution appears to have been received by the cumbrance. Monarchy a �14 THE FRIEND.

For Native Hawaiians, the destruction of palace influences of corruption by the abolition of royal power, will prove the greatest of deliverances. To all who have been seeking the moral and spiritual elevation of llawaiians, their sorest antagonist has been the poisonous influence of the palace, pro pagating its impurities I rid idolatries throughout the nation, and with its whole enormous social and political power, en forcing them upon all who sought palace favor and royalty's smile, Phis deadly influence "ill now lose its power.

Be thyself the living expression of truth in all thy words and actions; live out the noble principles you believe in. Satan does with sinners as the Philistines did with Samson; he first puts out their eyes, then makes them grind in his mill. God touches the eyes, and the scales fall from them.

I HONOLULU, This DAJM i- d«VOWd t" the interests of the Hawaiian Board "f Missinis. nd the Editor, appointed by thf for it- con.ents. Board! itl Rev, O, P. EmersOr\ - The Secretary was lately at Editor* the leper settlement at Kalaupapa, Molokai, and had audience with the church and congregation of that place. Upon his nominating the Rev. S. K. Kamakahiki of Olowalu, Maui, to the pastorate, he was warmly seconded by the deacons, and as a result Mr. Kamakahiki has been asked to transfer his pastorate from Olowalu to Kalaupapa. The accompanying circular letter is too brief to contain many facts that bear upon the work of the Hawaiian Board. The feeling of the hour does not permit us to argue for a cause which the experience of the past few days has proven to be so absolute a necessity to our wellbeing as a people. But certain statements not included in so short a letter may properly be subjoined here. It will be noticed in the letter that the item for the Chinese mission is large. $5800 is a good deal of money for us to spend in any one mission. It is the largest item named. It has been enlarged this year by the refusal of the American Board to grant more than $500 to'this work. The grant has formerly been $1000. It must also be said that the Chinese mission is developing into a large one. There is not a more hopeful work to be found in the land, nor one that has more vital connection with the future of these islands than that which is under the superintendency of Mr. Damon. It is one that has taken a strong hold of the Chinese people. Perhaps the public is not generally aware that the audience that attends the Chinese church is one of the larger ones of the city. Its growth has necessitated the addition which has been made to the building, and in this addition stands the former Central Union Church organ, which will thus continue to have a hear ing. It should also be remembered that Mr. Damon has added a very much needed boarding department to his school work. This department has, by the way, so far cost the Hawaiian Board nothing. The Chinese mission now has an important branch in this city which directs its energies towards the evangelization of Chinese women. The branch missions jn Wailuku and Kohala are also important adjuncts to the general work, and those who conduct them are missionaries to other peoples than the Chinese. What is said of the Chinese mission must also be said of the Japanese. There has been a very hopeful growth. There are Japanese missionaries now on every one of the larger islands, and in the centers of Honolulu and Hilo. The work is in charge of unusually talented and strong men. The Japanese at Hilo under the lead of Rev. Jiro Okabe have built themselves a commodious and neat church building. In Honolulu they are rallying about the Rev. J. K. Oku, and though now domiciled in Kmma Hall, and without a church building of their own, they hope to have one before long. Finally, we must not omit to speak of the most hopeful work being done among the Portuguese. II the missions to the Chinese and Japanese are important, that to the Portuguese is not less so. Here is a people that must be evangelized and brought up to the level of bible thought and experience. Nothing short of this will satisfy this inquiring people. And they are asking for it as the growth of the churches under Pastors Soares and Baptiste will testify. The beautiful Portuguese church building at Hilo is an ornament to that town, and those who meet there are yet more of an ornament. And if we look at the Portuguese mission in this city we shall find it a center of activity and of hope. Here is a thriving church with a day and evening school conducted by choice teachers and watched over by the pastor and his talented wife. This body of Christian workers is at stiife with no other, for there is room enough in this land for all who seek the light to walk together in peace. TREASURER'S CIRCULAR. Rooms ok thk Hawaiian Board: Honolulu, January 20, p osperous people at peace with each other and under a good government, demands this. Our aim should be to become a Christian people living together in the fear of God and with the love of humanity in our hearts. Now, a-idc from the work which is being done by the Roman Catholic and Anglican bodies, the Hawaiian Board is the only organization in the held which in connection with our churches and local societies, presumes to be carrying on such a work, the home (American) Board having practically withdrawn from the field, and left it to us to till. This Board accordingly, through its Secretary and Treasurer, invites you to a candid consideration of its claims for your generous support. We are able to report favorably of all our missions including those of the foreign field. From the Gilbert Islands, where we have eight Hawaiian missionaries, there has come the news of large ingatherings into the churches and a general and growing desire forknowledge. From the Marquesas, where we have three sturdy Hawaiian missionaries, there comes an earnest plea for aid to be given to their two boarding schools. Our home missions are alive in every branch. Among the Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese there is steady growth, both in school and church, and it is even reaching beyond our ability to properly cultivate with our present funds. We accordingly ask for liberal aid; and, for fuller information, append the following schedule of our estimated expenditures and receipts promised for 1893. rVork among the native Hawaiians, including expenses of Schools, Publications, Grants in-Aid of Aged Pastors and Running Expenses $ Chinese Missions, Salary of 2 Preachers, I Evangelist, 10 Teachers, and Part Support of Superintendent and Assistant Japanese Mission, Salary of 2 Preachers, and 4 Evangelists 'ortuguese Mission, Salary of'2Preachers and 2 Teachers iiltx-rt Islands Mission, Salary of 8 Missionaries and la Catechists Marquesas Mission, Salary of 3 Missionaries and a Grant-in-Aid of 1 Boarding School <ent and Running Expenses of Emma Hall Mission and Salary of Evan- .... - - - gelist Total Estimates for 18113 - -* 4„TO0 00 5,800 00 3,000 00 2,000 00 2,<i00 00 800 00 1,100 00 20,400 00 ... 1 400 i h) ivailable Funds and on 400 00 Legacies tentals Interest lontributions Kxpected from Native Churches 2,400 00 lontributions Expected from Other Churches 1,800 00 lontributions F.xpected from Cooper-',200 (10 ating Bodies 1,800 00 rther Promised Contributions .... IMS. Dkak Sir: The providences of these days are making it plain that the work of evangelizing the races that dwell together on these islands must be pressed with redoubled vigor. The aboriginal people whom the fathers helped to rise to a better life, must be made yet more Christian. This lov able Hawaiian people need but to be aided to achieve this result with the instrumentalities now in their own hands. Imperfect and faulty as is much of their church work, there is that which is most commendably done. The native pastorate, as has been lately shown in signal instances, is on the side of morality and good government. We wish to be helped to establish them yet more fully on that side. They and their people are in poverty. They look to us for sympathy and support. It is our gracious privilege to grant them these.

What has been the actual fact? It is one which seems almost incredible. We are informed by the authorities concerned, that after deducting from the still unpaid subscriptions all those that are seriously doubtful, about ninety-nine per cent of the whole will have been realized. The shrinkage will be only one per cent. We believe that no church building in the United States can show so noble a record This estimate concerns only the earlier subscriptions. The amount to be realized upon the debt subscription is in the future. We are confident that the shrinkage in that will rather be lessened than increased. Rich and Poor Seated Alike. To a leading member of Central Union Church the remark was lately made by a prominent gentleman, who belongs to the Palace party, and is anything but a "missionary," "I like your church for one thing; that is that the poorest person has just the same chance to hold a good pew as a rich one." We are told by the treasurer that there are persons unable to pay over one dollar a month who are occupying pews which would have brought $250 a year if sold in the usual manner. There are also persons who will undoubtedly pay $*20 a month, who are holding pews worth not $40 a year. This is just as we would have it. And we believe that our six months trial of the system is going to prove a great success. Many people are now attracted to the church who never paid anything before, but now will become helpers. Every one pays what they feel able to. None of our able members are going to give any less because they have second or third rate seats. It is too soon to speak confidently of the result. About $550 a month is necessary for church expenses. Twice that amount came in during the first month, but much of it was for months in advance, while manypew holders have as yet paid nothing, but will do so when called on by the treasurer. Church Benevolences. About $400 a month is hoped to be raised for those objects by the regular collections in the boxes at morning and evening worship. In the old Fort Street church the receipts had somewhat declined since hard times began. With the increased congregations in the new church they have materially advanced. These monies go to support not church expenses, but the extended mission, Sunday School, and Relief work carried on directly by this church. It is thus apparent that over $11,000 are thus raised annually for regular THE FRIEND. church expenses and benevolences. But in addition to these there is a very large system of benevolent contributions by the members ofthe Central Union Church to Mission, Educational and other work, and through other organization*) amount ing at a very moderate estimate to not less than $-24,000 annually, or added to the above $1 1,000, not less than 55,000 in all, or $70.00 per member the church. This is exclusive of large special acts oi munificence by wealthy members. Is there another church in the world that exceeds this average? If there is, it must be some wealthy church in a great metropolis. [March, 1893. Death of Miss Stevens. Our community experienced a most painful shock on the night of January 31st, by the arrival of the steamer Kman from Hawaii with the body of the beloved Miss Grace Stevens, the eldest daughter of the American Minister. Her death occurred at Kukaiau Landing on the precipitous coast of Hamakua, Hawaii. She had been safely lowered into the boat of the Kinait, which had also pushed out towards the ship, but owing to a misunderstanding turned back. A heavy roller capsized the boat, which was shattered upon the rocks. The native mate, a powerful man, seized Miss Stevens, hut a second roller tore her from his grasp and Hung her against the rocks. A second boat came in and rescued the live natives, who were good swimmers, and recovered the body of the unfortunate lady. This sudden bereavement has been a terrible blow to the honored parents and the sister of the departed. Miss Stevens had during January visited the Volcano with her father, and had turned aside to visit fi lends in the beautiful district of Hamakua. Hearing of the revolution in Honolulu, and of her father's need of her wonted aid as his private secretary, she hastened to his help, heroically encountering the somewhat perilous, yet rarely disastrous transit from the precipice to the ship, in order to expedite her coming. On the night when the terrible blow fell upon his household, the Minister was deeply engrossed in preparing for the morning's mail his final despatches to his government respectingthe revolution, and the raising of the American flag to take place the next morning By heroic effort of will, grief was postponed for duty, and the dispatches were completed. Thus are tragic private sorrows, and momentous public events closely intermingled. The great sorrow and sympathy of the people of Honolulu was shown by the crowded attendance at the funeral services held at the house on February •2nd. A violent storm of rain held off until the mounters had returned from the hasty service at the Cemetery. Thus have startling events continued to tread upon each others steps. Central Union Church as a Witness. Just at this time, the enemies ol the late revolution and of annexation are sending statements abroad to the effect that the revolution was made by the "missionary part}'' for selfish ends with total lac. of principle, and without scruple as to the means. Central Union Church is generally and very correctly regarded as the great "missionary church among the whites of Honolulu. Nearly all persons in the city allied to the old mission families by birth or marriage are members of the congregation. Probably nine tenths of the congregation actively favored the revolution, as did the great majority of the other white people of Honolulu, who are not in any special sympathy with this church. The movement was one supported by the bulk of the white population, but especial!)' so by the missionary " church people. Believing the abrogation of the monarchy to have been indispensable to the continued progress of Christian civilization in these Islands, we feel justified in so far "mingling religion and politics," as to employ in testimony the showing as to character which is made tor our noble Central Union Church by the facts above set forth. Do these things look as though the missionary" people helonged to the selfish and unscrupulous class? Do they not prove that Honolulu contains a body of Christian people of exceptionally high character for benevolence, for munificence, for active cooperation in good works ? Here is their splendid church edifice, hardly surpassed in beauty by an)' on the Pacific coast. It is paid for, in a time of depression, by heroic and loyal effort. It stands in beauty, a monument to the lofty and generous character of the Christianity which takes the lead in all that is good in this superb Anglo American Colony of Hawaii nei. Before this impressive visible testimony let the voice of calumny be dumb. We know our Honolulu Christians too well to doubt that they will, by God's grace, continue to make this testimony good, and to strengthen it more and If more care were given to character, more by their manifold good works in the coming days of strenuous labor for less trouble need be taken about reputation. the right.

Petersen and wife, the second mate, cook, cabin boy and two seamen. The bark, with coal for Honolulu from Sydney, was wrecked on the Kith of January, upon a reef 40 miles from Palmyra I. After several days in open boats vainly trying to reach that island, the wreck was regained, and the boats and people recruited. The)- then sailed for Honolulu. Provisions and water were abundant, but they suffered much from cold, wet, and cramped positions. Two days out, the mate's boat with five men became separated. They were 17 days in the boat. Mrs. Petersen was much reduced, but with ten days at the Ragle House, regained hei strength. The steamer C. R. Bishop was despatched by the Government on the evening of the 15th to cruise in search of the missing boat, going as far as Palmyra 1., 900 miles distant. The Bishop called at l.ahaina and Kailua, then at Waimea, Kauai, on the 18th, leaving that day for the southward. lectured upon her visit to Madagascar, for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A.

The Seminary closes in May, I think on the 13th. I want to home in June, before the Kamehanieha School closes. It is too bad you did not f;et Mr. Gulick. We must do the best we can without him. I feel as if I could do something towards clearing away the old superstitious beliefs of the people. Of course I have not seen much of such things, and their removal may not be as easy as I think. William Higgins, the evangelist, who is conducting the mission of the Hawaiian Hoard at Emma Hall, reports a good work being done there through a society of young men which he has been instrumental in forming. They have meetings during the week, as well as on the Sabbath day. These meetings are essentially for the study of the bible and for prayer, but they are conducted as a sort of debating society, each speaker basing his argument on some scripture. The association began with a membership of eight. Tbt: number is now forty-nine. Numbers of people who formerly were irreligious have been inter ested. Several have borne testimony to a change in their lives. The effect of this work on the Kan makapili meetings is very marked, We never attended in that church a more interesting prayer hieetiiif-; than that of last Wednesday evening. Some forty men were present, and at least a score of them took part. It is possible that Emma Hall may serve as tbe Y. M. C. A. or Y. Y. S. C. E. center that John Wise is wishing for. One feature of the work being done among these young men is the encourthem to save their agement being money. At the beginning of the year a bank book was furnished each one and they were helped to make a deposit. By the death of Mrs. Puahi, widow of Rev. S. Kaaua, tbe Hawaiian Board will come into the receipt of nearly three hundred dollars annually. It is the income from some valuable cane lands, bequeathed by the deceased Hawaiian pastor, in trust to Dr. Hyde, for the work of the Hoard among Hawaiian*. It is gratifying to find this spirit of grateful acknowledgement for aid received, prompting some of the Hawaii. ans, of their own accord, in their own way to make such disposition of their property after their death. �25 THE FRIEND, Gen.

A Visit to Kahuku. To relieve a chronic headache, we some time ago treated ourselves to an outing of four days, by visiting Kahuku Plantation, situated upon the north point of Oahu, and about 40 miles journey from this city, whether one goes by the east or west side of the island. We chose the western route, going by rail 12 miles to Pearl City. There we found waiting the four hurse stage of the veteran White. There were three other passengers. We traversed the elevated plain to Waialua, 18 miles in three and a half hours, crossing the three gulches of Kipapa, Waikakalaua and Kaukonahua, mostly on easy grades, and seldom off a fair trot. Since five years ago, the entire road has been fenced in by the cattle owners. No planting was seen, and rarely a house. Yet there are at least 30,000 acres of beautiful level upland, mostly of from 800 to 1000 feet altitude, with a delightful climate. The soil, however, is generally not of the best, and there is too little moisture for cane. It is beyond question that grain and hay crops will do well there in the winter and spring, with proper management. Citrus and other fruits and grapes flourish, This 1 will be a prosperous farming region in j the future. The air is delightfully bracing. After an hour's rest and lunch at Waialua, we made the 14 miles along the shore to Kahuku in about three hours. The road is mainly as nature and travel have left it. A good bridge at Waimea enables you to avoid the formidable sands. The cane at Kahuku began four miles west of the mill, forming a belt of from 20 to 40 rods wide along the coast, and ; a little up the' lower slopes below the bluffs. It was all irrigated. A large pumping station lifts the water some t>o feet from great natural springs in the marsh near sea level. A 200 acre field | was being cut. Four trains a day were being hauled to the mill, each of twenty cars with five tons of cane stalks, or '40* tons of cane a day, from which the mill working night and day produced forty tons of sugar. Eighty Japanese gathered and loaded the cane, which was cut by another gang. Everything moved quietly as by clock work. Other gangs were dressing newly cut fields, or stripping next year cane. The noble mill was working with great precision. Lit by electric lamps at night, it presented a brilliant spectacle.

We have no doubt that his duties here involve the most serious con Number 4. Removal of the American Flag. Whatever may have impaired the condition of independence and autonomy of this Government, is now 'emoved, and the Hawaiian Government is again oerfectly and in every sense independent. The annexationists by no means appear to be cast down. They are disposed to interpret the event favorably to their cause, as being the removal of an alleged incapacity of this Government to negotiate a Treaty while under even the very limited sort of a Protectorate understood to exist. No evidence, however, as yet has transpired, that Mr. Mount has any negotiations in view. The Royalists, on their part are cautious and moderate in their expressions of gratification, as if doubting what would be the next step taken. Many strange and extravagant rumors are circulating. In the midst of all the Commissioner preserves a sphinx-like attitude of silence, and the public, at this writing of April 3d, awaits with anxiety the next step in his programme. The Hawaiian revolution, thus far, and we trust always, bloodless, is nevertheless very dramatic in its successive On the arrival of the U. S.

It has an especial interest, as being written by the eminent missionary who estab lished the famous Robert College ol Con stantinople, the venerable Cyius Hamlin, L.L.D., and who was also the brother of Vice-President Hannibal Hamlin, whose name is associated with that of Lincoln. LEXINGTON, March 4, 1899. My Dkar Mr. Portkr, I am glad to know that you are acquainted with Mr. Dole, who is at the timately acquainted with his father in Bowdoin College. Together with his cousin, Nathan Dole, we established a Society of Inquiry on Missions. Six or eight students belonged to it, of whom three at least entered the foreign field. Dole was from the beginning very sincerely consecrated to the work among the heathen. He was a diligent and careful student, not brilliant but faithful to every department of studdy. He was something of a poet, or as he would say, he did not write poetry but he made rhymes. We belonged to the same college societies. In those primitive times every society had its annual celebration, with an oration and, if possible, a poem. We had a "Theological Society," handed down to us from former years. The object was not to study theology, but to keep track of the isms and sects that divided the church. It was rather church history than theology that we studied. I was appointed to give. the oration and Dole the poem. He naturally roamed over the heathen world with its lights and shades, and the coming glory of the millenium. He wanted more i riental names than he could command so as to choose such as the laws of versification demanded. He came to me for help, and I gave him a list of such oriental names as I could gather from Sir William Jones and other writers on the orient. While he was delivering his poem, I recognized my oriental friends under characters which probably they never bore. In those days of sealing wax, sentimental seals ware various and numerous. 1 fell in with one that struck me as beautiful and impressive. It was a lone mortal in a little boat at sea, gazing at a solitary star, with the legend around the picture, "If I lose thee, I am lost." Though minute, it made an admirably clear impression upon the wax. 1 referred to it in one of our prayer meetings as the Star of Bethlehem. The next morning Dole gave me a really beautiful hymn the refrain of which was "If I lose thee lam lost." I kept it many years but cannot find it now. Dole was every way an excellent man, and I am delighted to see his son in such an honorable and influential position. In Bangor Theological Seminary, a little later, the same band was joined by J. D. Paris and Flias Bond. All three, Dole, Paris, and Bond have done immortal work on theHawaiian Islands. I am yours, Cyrus Hamlin. — Mrs. Leavitt'sLectures. During the latter part of her stay, Mrs. M. C. Leavitt favored the Honolulu public with two most graphic lectures on what she personally observed in Siam and Burmah, and in Madagascar, where she penetrated to the Capital, Antinanarivo. �Vol. 51, No. 4.J Bishop Willis on Missionaries. In the last issue of the Honolulu Diocesan Magazine on March ISth, much space was given by the Bishop to a diatribe against the American Mis sionaries and their children. The substance of his accusation is, that having been most hospitably received by the chiefs and people as their guests, both the father missionaries and their sons have always and persistently plotted for the overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy, and for the absorption of these Islands by the United States, a course of action which he compares to the conquest of Shechem by Simeon and Levi under the cloak of religion, and which he denounces in the severe language of Jacob. Were so plainly and absurdlyfalse a charge to be made by an unconspicuous person, we should pay no attention to it. As however, it proceeds from the head of the Anglican Church in Hawaii, it may be proper to notice it, as the position of its author will probably give it authority in many places where his peculiar mental structure is not understood. The attitude of our Missionary fathers toward the Hawaiian Monarchy is established matter of history, as every intelligent reader of that history well understands. The continued existence of the independent native monarchy of the Kamehamehas, was due, under (rod, wholly to the loyal, wise, and zealous efforts of the American Missionaries. With the greatest labor and patience, they enlightened the chiefs and the people, and inspired them with desire and purpose toward a Christian civilization. They persuaded the rulers to grant a liberal Constitution. They helped to train the people heartily to co-operate in sound legislation and administration. As the result, an aboriginal monarchy of the dark race has retained supremacy over a large and wealthy white community for fifty years; and it is the only instance on the globe of such a thing. Bishop Willis accuses the missionaries of having always plotted the overturn ol the monarchy, when but for their cherishing and guiding influence, the throne would have succumbed very early to hostile foreign intrigues, as every small native throne in the world has done as soon as foreign commerce got a solid foothold. The sons of the missionaries have always been proud of their fathers' noble achievement. They in turn have been loyal and zealous supporters of the native monarchy and of Hawaiian independence. That they have mostly ceased to be thus loyal is due solely to the gross corruption and decadence of the monarchy since theKamehamehas ceased from the throne, making its longer continuance incompatible with civilized institutions. We had hoped for a somewhat longer lease of life to the monarchy. Its THE FRIEND. inevitable end was precipitated by the wild act of the (jueen. In view of the many conflicting and dangerous elements within and without this dear and honored Island home of ours, which threaten disturbance and anarchy, we would gratefully recognize the protecting and guiding Providence which now seems to offer to Hawaii so safe and beneficent a shelter as that of the American Union, which ensures equal rights and full justice to all classes of its citizens. Every one must know that every native Hawaiian willbe a full citizen u'f the United States whenever Annexation shall be accomplished. It is not improbable that Bishop Willis and some of his coterie believe that the native Hawaiiana are to be treated as pariahs. Such an idea has been sedu'ously taught Hawaiiana ol late. They will have full citizenship and equal civil lights, and every person who asserts the contrary, is uttering what is a most base and cruel falsehood. We who advocate annexation are doing it not merely as for the general welfare of Hawaii, but because we believe it will be for the highest interests of the native Hawaiians as well. They will be delivered limn the heathenizing influence of the Court, which has long been dragging them down and destroying them. They will enjoy and profit by the powerlully elevating influences of American liberty and American citizenship. There is no enemy of Hawaiians so pernicious as be who would restore the unspeakable native monarchy. Annexation to Japan. This was the prescription recently made by Sir Edwin Arnold for the relief of Hawaii from its present unsettled political status. He offered it in the London Daily Telegraph. He knows Japan intimately, having maintained peculiar domestic relations with the people, and having been, with his leanings to Buddhism, much in the confidence of that government. Having last year spent six delightful hours in the company of the (jueen and her premier Sam Parker, he also knows all about Hawaii, and just what is good for us. At first we did not take seriously the possibly facetious proposition of the would be Laureate. We fancied it must be his way of paying a pretty co-npliment to bis dear Japanese. It now appears that there was a good deal more in it, and that the Japanese government have really not been without aspirations to enlarge their empire in this direction. Main rumors are afloat, and some facts are ti.inspiring about thee/rand hither of the splendid Japanese cruiser Naniva, which has been lying in this harbor since February 23rd. She sailed from home on the Bth, soon after news of our revolution was received in Japan. She is called one of the most powerful 27 ships in the navy. On board of her came Prince Komatsu a nephew of the Mikado, and son of Prince Arisugowa, who is a field marshal in the Japanese army. He is said to have been the one for whom Kalakaua once planned an alliance with the Princess Kaiulani. A high diplomatic representative of the Japanese Government also came on the Xniiiva. He visited Hilo on the training ship Ron go, and has been busy among the Japanese immigrants here. As to rumors, the Nauiva is said to have enough small arms on board to equip two or three thousand men ; also that as many as 1500 of the Japanese on this island have served in the army. 1 hat government have greatly encouraged the emigration to Hawaii. In that, there may have been no sinister design. We do not place very much dependance upon these rumors. But theknown facts are somewhatremarkable. Hawaii's relations to Japan have always been the most agreeable. The Japanese representatives indignantly deny the current rumor that the Naniva came here with any intention of taking possession of the Islands. It looks somewhat improbable that Japan would think of attempting such a thing while negotiations with Washington continued to be in progress. Still, in the possibility of their failure, it might be well for Japan tocome prepared to improve an opportunity. On the whole, it would seem to have been quite as well that the Naniva, on her arrival, found the American Flag floating over the Government House, and the U. S. forces in actual occupation. We may-now even feel thankful for the unpleasant pressure from another quarter which led our Provisional Government to seek the powerful protection of that flag,and which thusfrustrated in advance any possible schemes th..t the Naniva may have come freighted with. The whole affair is most suggestive of the unwisdom of seeking to maintain the independence of Hawaii in the midst of the increasing stress and strife of colliding political elements in the Pacific. / To pronounce Hawaii correctly, say Hah wye-ec, accenting wye. It will not be very far wrong to pronounce the name like "How-are-ye ?" Capt. Cook called it "O-whyhee." He- affixed an O, which is a kind of definite article used by the natives, and mistaken by Cook for part of the name itself. Besides this, Cook inserted an h before the last syllable I, pronounced cc, making it hee. "Why-ec" is very nearly correct. All missionaries throughout the world, in reducing native words to writing, employ the continental sounds ola,e, i, o, v, 00.

'The Hawaiian Star of April Ist, alleges the existence of a conspiracy between the ex-Queen and the commander of the Japanese warship Naniwa, to land his forces after the removal of the American flag, arm a large number of Japanese on shore who are accustomed to arms, and replace Liliuokalani upon the throne under a Japanese protectorate. The P. C. Advertiser of the 3rd, having interviewed the Japanese Commissioner, is inclined to discredit the report. The "Star" of the 3rd reaffirms it strongly. We refrain from expressing any positive opinion upon the truth or error of this allegation. The "Star" claims to be in possession of abundant evidence of the fact. We have great confidence in the veracity and discernment of the Editor. On the other hand, we find it diffici'lt to believe that the ex-Queen would entertain so mad a project, one so necessarily d- ;tructive to herself, and one so insulting to the United States and their Commissioner, whose removal of the flag has been hailed by the royalists with so much satisfaction. The language of denial employed by the Japanese Commissioner, is shown by the analysis of the Star to be quite evasive. We are inclined towards an opinion that partisans of the exQueen may have been concerned in such a plot, without the personal connivance of herself. A marked degree of excitement has been very manifest among the numerous Japanese of the city for several days. The Provisional Government is strong, well armed, and well able to handle any insurrection on shore, which is not aided by foreign forces. We are fully competent to assert that the Japanese authorities on shore and afloat, are entirely aware that the United States will permit, no interference whatever with the Hawaiian Government by any foreign power, while the present negotiations are pending. In view of the menacing attitude of Japan towards these Islands, as shown in many marked and significant ways, the ultimate solution of the political problem cannot be doubted as lying in a speedy annexation to the United States, or failing that, in cession to Great Britain, as the next most desirable Christian Protector. Independence has thoroughly ceased to be a possibility. We have no doubt, however, of the favorable action of the United States. . 'J The devil is not afraid of a dusty Bible. I find that doing the will of God leaves me no room for disputing about his plans. Japan in Bonabk. —Since the above was put in type, the fact has transpired, through the arrival of the Morning Star, that the Japanese Government are trying to negotiate with Spain for the cession to them of the Island of Bonabe, or Ascension. It thus appears very definitely that Japan is stretching out for the possession of Pacific Islands. It seems really impossible to doubt that Japan has come into the list as an active competitor for the possession of Hawaii. 'To this Oriental domination Sir Edwin Arnold would cheerfully sacrifice us. rather than see us fall to detested America, like the mother of the dead child in the trial before Solomon, who would willingly see the living child of her rival slain. In the midst of this rivalry, a continued independence of Hawaii is a chimercal idea. We have only left us to seek our natural destiny in the honorable fellowship of the great and free American Union. the somewhat depressing intelligence of President Cleveland's withdrawal of the Treaty from the Senate. We understand that the Executive Committee of the Club have enrolled ISO6 voting males, 700 of them native HawaiiansV- 1 A Farewell to Hawaiian Royalty.

Bond. Mr. Bond was one of the most esteemed and beloved of Hawaii's former residents. We hear of his death at West Newton, February 11. He first came to these islands for health in 185 L He held office as a Circuit Judge on Kauai, and subsequently from 1856 to 1861, as District Attorney on Maui. Returning to his native Boston, he became the founder and Secretary of the Union Safe Deposit Company, in which service he continued until his death. We were on terms of peculiar intimacy with Mr. Bond at Lahaina. Although as a Unitarian, and previously a minister of that denomination, we differed in theological opinions, we found him one of the devouted, sweetest, most unselfish Christians that we have ever known, and profoundly attached to our common Master and Lord. He was always in active sympathy with the American Missionaries. His son, Lawrence Bond, is the Hawaiian Consul for Boston, residing with his two sisters at the paternal home at West Newton. 29 THE FRIEND. Tin- Rev. 1). Y.

That they are not recognized as forming a distinct group is probably due to their being so low and small as not to be intervisible. 'This Fanning or Christinas group lies about 950 miles south ol the Hawaiian Is. It belongs to England, of course. The missing BOAT of the Lady Lamp- son, we rejoice to learn, was picked up by the schooner Martha W. Tuft on February 12, about 200 miles south-east of Honolulu.

Emerson, - Editor. On the morning of the 27thoflast month (March) the Stararrived in port, after an absence uf nine months and days. Among the passengers up was Miss Alice C. Little, who, alter live years ot successful work in the Girls' School at Kusnie, returns to her home in Oherlin to seek rest. Miss Jennie Fletcher also came in the Star fro n Mokil. The Girls' School, which was moved thither from Ponape, h is been disbanded, and the last of the Miss pupils has been sent home. Fletcher's work in Micronesia is probably done, but it has been s noble one. The part sin: took during those sail days of Ponapean strife was a brave one, and we even thought it heroic. And now with br.ik :n health and in sickness she goes h line to her people in the United States. Miss Rose Kinney, of the (nils' School at Kuk, who came with Miss Fletcher to care for her in her sickness, is to oo no further, but is to return to her post on the return voyage of the Star. The news lias come ill the late severe illness of Rev. Mr. Snelling of Kuk, and also of the fact that Captain Worth and the Robert Logan may be expected here before long. The Robert Logan is in need of repairs. The Ponape question seems no nearer a solution than at first. Perhaps the best solution would be for the Japanese to buy Ponape of the Spaniards, and then take the mission into their own hands. Mr. and Mrs. Rand and Miss FosS propose to hold the fort at Mokil. Dr. and Mis. Pease and Miss Little mule a successful tour of the Marshall field, but the dm tor and family are to return to the States next year without fail. Mr. Channon and his Training School of twenty six, and Miss Hoppin's Girls' School of fifteen, made the tour of the Gilbert islands. There were just fortythree of them in all, while Dr. Pease and Miss Little took along in their tour of the Marshall group some forty-five. Once again the general meeting of the Gilbert Islands mission failed. Revs. Channon and Maka did the locating of the new Hawaiian missionaries. Rev. Nua is located at Hutaritari; Rev. Mahihila at Maiana, and Rev. Kaai at Apaian This last brother, who is settled over that demoralized and lapsed church, sends a pathetic appeal for remembrance in prayer. [April, 1893. The Hiram Bingham is reported by the Rev. Maka to have reached Butaritari Dec. 15, 1592, and to have sailed thence four days later (the Htth of December,) in search of the Star. We are greatly indebted to Mrs. Capt. Garland for the valuable information she has given in her journal about the mission work.

The girls rested themselves on the verandah, in spite of the kin"'s oft repeated call, until he became a little irritated and bade them come in at once. You remember the ponderous figure His wife is well suited to him in figure, and looked immtnse, as she was in a black print holoku, with huge yellow polka dots. The king was dressed in a light outing shirt and woolen trousers. Part of the time his shoes adorned his feet; part of the time they occupied a prominent post on a chest in the verandah. You hardly saw his ponderosity to good advantage in San Francisco; here, unburdened by a heavy coat, and with his foot on his native sands—his influenza a thing of the past —he became genial in the extreme and jovially reminiscent. I was introduced as the friend of his travels, and called upon to corroborate man}- incidents. As Mr. Channon said afterward, probably his people had shown too much incredulity with regard to his marvellous tales, and I had accomplished a mission in vindicating him and establishing his character for veracity. But what do you suppose impressed him most in his travels? Not the immense buildings and crowds of people, nor the splendor of lolani palace, nor all the display of the queen's surroundings, but the break-down of the carriage onthat Saturday afternoon when we rode with Over and over, with most graphic tones and gestures, he told the story; he would insist that the horse was crazy, and that we were all in danger of being eaten. His heavy face really grew animated as he talked; Jessie said he seemed glad to have found a chum to talk over old times with. When we took our leave, the king made us promise to come back at 12 o'clock "to taste a little food;'' and we were glad to accept on account of the girls. The girls were soon busy with their washing. Jessie and I sitting on a mat, took turns leading to one another till if was time to see if the girls had all donned dry dresses and combed their hair in readiness to start for the king's house. A long time we spent in waiting in his sitting room; but at last, after much running hither and thither of the men and women about the place, the king led us across the yard to his eating-house, and the full glory ot the banquet burst upon our vision. A long table was covered with a cloth of un bleached cotton, and places were laid for ten, each provided with knife and fork and large spoon, and a generous soup-plateful of rich looking chicken soup, with a generous quantity of the chicken in it. The centre-piece on the table was a mammoth dish pan full of baked fish, this was flanked by platters of chicken of the king? — THE FRIEND. and plates of babai (the coarse taro that Tennyson's Kapiolani. grows here).
